“What we really need to do is be willing to get shot.” Those words to a Democratic member are part of a chilling Axios story on the rising violent rhetoric on the American left. As alleged Antifa members are arrested in Texas for the attempted murder of ICE agents, Democratic members are beginning to express private concerns over unleashing uncontrollable rage after their election defeat.
Axios reported on conversations with Democratic members who admit that followers are turning to violence and rejecting messages of political reform.
One House member explained that there is a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters that “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.” The member does not address how Democratic leaders are fueling the rising violent rhetoric and imagery (including the most recent posted picture of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) brandishing a baseball bat).
One House Democrat told Axios, “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.”
Yet another admitted that constituents have told them to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.” Others reported that liberals are talking about the need “to storm the White House and stuff like that.”
One explained that “They’re angry beyond things.” Another said, “It’s like … the Roman coliseum. People just want more and more of this spectacle.”
Some are discussing triggering or staging violence. One member said, “What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people.”
We have recently seen such performative acts with members like Sen. Alex Padilla (D., Cal.) heckling a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Democratic members storming an ICE facility.
In one encounter, a lawmaker told Axios: “I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher’. And someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?'”
The answer is clearly yes.
Across the country, Democratic leaders are resorting to what I have called “rage rhetoric” in my book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
We have already seen violent protests and planned assassinations directed against Trump Administration figures. Democrats ratcheted up claims of a “coup” and called for Democrats to “fight in the streets.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D, Mass.) declared, “Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D, Md.) claimed on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Musk and Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) appeared to be working off the same talking point and declared that a “coup” was being carried out.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) warned that Musk was “taking away everything we have.”
Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Cal.) said, “We are here to fight back.” Sen. Cory Booker (D., NJ) called on citizens to “fight” and declared, “We will rise up.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., TX) yelled, “We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D., N.J.) added: “God d—it shut down the Senate!…WE ARE AT WAR!”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called for Democrats to fight “in the streets.””
Such rhetoric can inspire unhinged citizens who actually believe that this is a war against a coup. It is the type of rhetoric that can prompt anti-Republican Nicholas John Roske to try to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh or Sanders supporter James T. Hodgkinson to try to massacre Republican members playing softball.
This week, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of ten alleged Antifa members who are being charged in an ambush of ICE agents in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4.
Democratic members have long played a dangerous game in dismissing the violence or even the existence of groups like Antifa.
Despite the denial of its existence by figures like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), I have long written and spoken about the threat of Antifa to free speech on our campuses and in our communities. This includes testimony before Congress on Antifa’s central role in the nationwide anti-free speech movement.
We have continued to follow the attacks and arrests of Antifa followers across the country, including attacks on journalists.
Nevertheless, former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump.
Ellison’s son, Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison, declared his allegiance to Antifa in the heat of the protests this summer.
Liberal sites have sold Antifa items, including baby outfits, to celebrate the violent group.
Now, Democratic leaders are privately expressing alarm that their followers are demanding violence and rejecting moderate language. Yet, many are fueling that rage and few of their colleagues are speaking out against them. The party is attempting to ride this wave of rage to victory. However, history shows that the enablers of the mob today often find themselves the enemies of the mob tomorrow.

Speaking of rhetoric, Patel and Bongino say regarding Epstein, “There’s no there there.”
@PiersUncensored
BREAKING: White House counselor Alina Habba tells Piers Morgan the Epstein list is expected to be released today – and there will “absolutely” be criminal actions taken.
“It’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, information, names that will come out.”
*. There’s many hours of porn tapes to be evaluated. Lists cannot be released hastily because they may include names of mere investors and business associates.
Dear Prof Turley,
The Big Beautiful Bill Act alone will add over 10,000 ICE up-armored law enforcement officers to nip this rage-filled rhetoric in the bud. This will provide a centralized professional military presence to domestic law enforcement, while ostensibly avoiding messy constitutional issues like posse comitatus .. . The rules of engagement will, of course, include qualified immunity.
As Trump’s border czar recently put it: ‘we’re going to flood the zone’.
As DHS Sec Noam recently testified to congress; ‘heabus corpus is a right the President has to deport people’. .. presumably, that includes violent rage-filled instigators like Hakem Jefferies’ ilk.
*meanwhile, President Trump just concluded his WH meeting with Israel’s PM Bibi Netanyahu on the Gaza ‘problem’ .. . and BRICS (the ‘dollar’ alternative) now controls over 50% of global GDP (& 60% of global population).
Conspiracy upon conspiracy.
Nice smear at Netanyahu though, trying equate the necessary clearing out of the Gaza terrorist nest with the Nazi final solution. Troll harder next time.
Oh, and let us know when Brazil is longer the country of the future, but the country of the now. Face reality, BRICS is going nowhere. But feel free to invest in rubles, it has nowhere to go but up.
Trump says the ‘Gaza terrorist nest’ problem is just horrible. .. like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
The Russian economy is a global top performer, and the Ruble is doing ok too.. . I blame Joe Biden, mostly.
*speaking of conspiracies, evidently the Trump DoJ has just announced there is NO Epstein client list after all .. . which begs the question of any ‘sex trafficking’.
*speaking of conspiracies, evidently the Trump DoJ has just announced there is NO Epstein client list after all .. . which begs the question of any ‘sex trafficking’.
! INTERREGNUM ! : this same outcome was going on during the Biden DoJ….Garland made no substantive moves toward truth and transparency concerning the Epstein List/Files. He was smarter about it (in keeping his mouth shut) and creating the J-6 insurrection-hysteria, effectively giving you scape-goats to laughter, instead of “begging questions.”
Garland successfully DEFLECTED on the sex trafficking of his colleagues, but don’t be fooled, many (from both parties) have been (and will continue to be) protected, and it goes waaaay back. More than likely, the very same people on the Epstein List were on P-Diddy’s party list too, most especially “Saint” Obama.
We must be talking cross-purposes again, Bec.
*evidently, the Garland DoJ prosecuted Epstein’s assistant Ms Ghislaine Maxwell for ‘sex trafficking’ to no one. ..
Don’t you have a playground to visit? You know, to find that “perfect kid”?
WTH! You think, Maxwell (the daughter of a Mossad Agent) is actually in Jail? Listen, the Garland DoJ was just as dirty as any mafia anywhere. Maxwell’s trial was a show trial to appease [and fool folks like you]; this is proven by the far-left-extremist PLANT Maureen Comey, who notoriously never sought to prosecute any others….”but justice was served???” NOT!!! Comey couldn’t even be smart enough [or powerful enough] to land a RICO conviction on Diddy—she’s exhibits as a deep-state operative, paid to throw trials.
“Garland successfully DEFLECTED on the sex trafficking of his colleagues, but don’t be fooled, many (from both parties) have been (and will continue to be) protected, and it goes waaaay back. More than likely, the very same people on the Epstein List were on P-Diddy’s party list too, most especially “Saint” Obama.”
And your justification for Trump & Bondi continuing to bury the incriminating information is?
There is NO justification for ANYone doing this [“burying incriminating information”]!
As is common for extreme-leftists, you leave out the most important part of the statement, so here it is, AGAIN! :
“…but don’t be fooled, many (from both parties) have been (and will continue to be) protected, and it goes waaaay back. More than likely, the very same people on the Epstein List were on P-Diddy’s party list too, most especially ‘Saint’ Obama.”….
Protection of the rich, famous, and powerful is a lucrative racket, and that’s why Maureen COMEY is a U.S. Attorney and “Lead” prosecutor.
The Russian economy is a global top performer.
Compared to what?
Compared to Snowden’s checkbook.
*speaking of conspiracies, evidently the Trump DoJ has just announced there is NO Epstein client list after all .. . which begs the question of any ‘sex trafficking’.
That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all day. No, there is no client list. There never was one, and no one in a position to know ever claimed there was one.
What has that got to do with it? How did you come up with the bizarre idea that he needed a client list to operate? How many other criminals keep lists of their clients?! When’s the last time you heard of even one criminal doing so?
“How many other criminals keep lists of their clients?! When’s the last time you heard of even one criminal doing so?”
A paper trail is dangerous, so formal client lists probably didn’t exist, but they often did in a roundabout way. Take Al Capone: his accountant kept records that effectively functioned as a client list when revealed.
If all of Epstein’s written material is placed in front of you, you could probably derive a list, incomplete, inexact, but a list. It might be that all of that data was destroyed.
Correct. Those are LEOs and will be doing LEO work as they are hired to do. What they will do is enforce immigration laws.
It seems Trump has secured a cease fire deal between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.
BRICS could be a real problem. Buy PMs.
Correction, between Israel and Iran.
Cease fire between Israel and Hamas is a ephemeral thing.
Will need to see the paperwork on any peace deals between Israel and Iran.
I agree any cease fires between Israel and Hamas will be an ephemeral thing.
*Hamas is an ephemeral organization .. . an ever-changing figment of cruel imagination pulled over the worlds eyes to blind them from the truth.
Snowden, get your numbers straight or find new sources of information. You can figure out yourself which numbers I am talking about.
The lefts theory of Grandeur:
Art theory [Section d’Or] is defined as: a smaller part is to the larger as the larger is to the whole, although [Section d’Or] is an Art theory it could apply to the Democrat’s, where the smaller part is in control of the whole part in their pursuit of their insane forward path. It does appear from resent events feeble minded tyrants have taken control of the party. In addition, these fools are participating in a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ where the hypothesized becomes belief and ends in action. They should be very careful because when there’s blood in the streets no one knows where it will end.
George W
George W,
That was brilliant!
For the “stupid person,” there is NO “where will it end,” but endless cycles of the increasingly-strange and more-stupid: destructive to one’s self and to society….
According to “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity” (Carlo M. Cipolla): A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.” I.E. “fight in the streets and go get shot.”
This assessment is not meant to be cruel or facetious—it’s simply true. We’re dealing with an out-break of stupid, right now!
Ole Hawkaloogie there with his lil slugger baseball bat fits right in with the longstanding Commie infatuation with our Capitalist sports. Secretly they love many Americanized features of our society and culture, but are no longer allowed to admit to it for fear of collaborating with the enemy (the rest of us), nor to openly participate in it without turning it into a ideological mantra of spewing hatred proclaiming it to be a form of colonial oppression using them as sport slaves you see, paying them merely millions of dollars instead of billions. Therefore the sport needed a tad bit of Marxist Socialism to fulfill their dream of wealth redistribution.

FYI, There is no such thing as an “anchor baby” in America.
Foreign babies of foreign illegal aliens are subject to the same foreign national jurisdiction of their foreign illegal alien parents.

1866 – SENATOR JACOB M. HOWARD (MI) – AUTHOR OF THE CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE
Mr. HOWARD: I now move to take up House joint resolution No. 127.
The motion was agreed to; and the Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, resumed the consideration of the joint resolution (H.R. No. 127) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The first amendment is to section one, declaring that all “persons born in the United States and Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.[1]

OMG, this dishonest crap AGAIN?
Anyone who excerpts these words: “THIS WILL NOT INCLUDE FOREIGNERS AND ALIENS”, while deliberately leaving out the rest of the sentence, is a deliberate lying piece of filth. The sentence continues: “WHO BELONG TO THE FAMILIES OF AMBASSADORS […] BUT WILL INCLUDE EVERY OTHER CLASS OF PERSONS”. So foreigners and aliens who have NO diplomatic immunity ARE included, because they ARE under US jurisdiction.
And whichever moron suggested to you that jurisdiction has something to do with jury duty belongs in a padded cell. Illegal aliens can be arrested, they can be tried and convicted, they can be imprisoned, they can be sued, they can be forced to testify. They have to pay all taxes. They can be drafted. And yes, if some state wants to put them on juries, it can do so and it can force them to show up.
Ladies and Gentleman, your idiot president…
“Oh, we’ve spoken to everybody. We know every. It’s all done. I told you. I told you we’ll make some deals, but for the most part we’re gonna send a letter. We’re gonna say, ‘Welcome to the United States. If you’d like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever.’ I mean, we’re doing better than ever. We have. I don’t think. And you’re gonna see these numbers soon. We’ve never had numbers like this. We’ve never had investment like this. Uh, we have more than 90. We’re gonna have much more than 90. But most of those are gonna be sent a letter. This is exactly what I said. Now, we’ve made a deal with United Kingdom. We’ve made a deal with China. We’ve made a deal. We’re close to making a deal with India. Others, we’ve met with, and we don’t think we’re gonna be able to make a deal. So, we just send them a letter. ‘Do you wanna, do you wanna play ball? This is what you have to pay.’ So, we’re, as far as I’m concerned, we’re done. We’re sending out letters to various countries, telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a, you know, cause. We’re not gonna be unfair about it. And actually, it’s a small fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should be. We could be asking for much more. But for the sake of relationships that we’ve had with a lot of really good countries, we’re doing the way I do it. But we could be getting a lot more. We could ask for a lot more than what we’re asking for.”

AI Overview
According to psychology and related fields, people may use only their first initial for various reasons:
3. Psychological Aspects:
Implicit egotism: Research suggests that people may unconsciously favor things associated with their names, including letters in their initials.
Unconscious influence on behavior: Studies have found a correlation between initials and certain life choices and outcomes, although the exact mechanisms are still debated.
Seeking attention or mystery: An initials-only signature can suggest a preference for an air of intrigue or self-assuredness without being overly expressive.
It is unclear if the call “. . . to be willing to get shot” is for others to be willing to get shot or that they are willing to get shot. If the call is for them, I’m pretty sure volunteers would be accepted, somewhere.
Why doesn’t Bondi, Patel and Bongino go after Antifa with the same force of the government a Garland went after anyone within a mile of the capital on J6? For crying out loud, get these goons arrested, prosecuted and jailed already. Imagine if white conservatives blocked access to abortion clinics, ripped Planned Parenthood clients out of their cars (as antifa does in Portland), attacked doctors cars with bricks etc etc.
I am so tired of leftist rioters never being arrested, leftist agitators never being hit with RICO charges as Trump was in GA, never having cops in blue states clearing the highways when they are blocked. It is maddening. What is more aggravating than seeing these leftist fools blocking access to the highways with 100 blue city cops standing behind them doing nothing? Now imagine people blocking an LGBTQ rally.
It is so odd that the Low T Democrats get positively Alpha when going after their political enemies, see what happened to Trump and many of his team, and yet Republicans, the “mans” party never plays hardball with the police and the courts.
Who’s on first?
“Violence to protect our democracy” sounds a lot like “we had to destroy the village to save it.”
Jonathan: How do you try to prove the Dems are “embracing violent rhetoric”? You post a photo of Hakeem Jeffries “brandishing” a baseball bat. FACT CHECK: Jeffries is a huge baseball fan–specifically the NY Yankees. For many years he has played infield on the Dem team in the annual Congressional Baseball Game. He is proud that the Dems have a 9-1 record against the GOP. Unfortunately, this year the Dems lost. Could it be the photo of Jeffries holding a bat simply demonstrates his love of the game?
What you omit to mention is there is only one person who has brandished a bat calling for violence. It was DJT–just before he was indicted by NY DA Alvin Bragg over the Stormy Daniels election interference case that resulted in DJT being a “convicted felon”. Just before Bragg’s indictment DJT posted a photo of himself “brandishing” a bat near the head of Alvin Bragg. DJT threatened “death and destruction” if he was charged. He called Bragg “human scum” and a “degenerate psychopath”. That photo went viral and many were vocal in there criticism of DJT’s violent rhetoric. In fact, you criticized DJT directly. You wrote at the time: “Many of us have criticized the reported indictment [of DJT] as deeply flawed and politically motivated. However, that will be addressed by the courts. The rule of law will be protected by the bench, not the bat, in our constitutional system”.
DJT is the only president to have called for political violence–most notoriously on Jan. 6.2021 when he told his supporters to storm the Capitol and “fight like hell” to prevent certification of Biden’s electoral College win. It’s ironic you would now go full circle and falsely imply Jeffries is calling for violence. That’s a blatant falsehood!
Next time put more exclamation marks in. That always increases the strength of your “argument”.
Nobody cares about January 6th. The electorate weighed the evidence and then re-elected Trump. They’re done with the issue, why don’t you try to move on?

Hey gigi, Kamalalalala lost, bigly. Deal with it. And nobody cares about January 6th, or whatever else you’re trying to say. Trump’s polices are indeed bring down Bidenflation. Deal with it. You’re a loser. Deal with it.
Gigi: According to AI, there are 45 million registered Democrats compared to only 36 million Republicans. With a difference of at least nine million more Democrats, as well as the hostile media, –I’d say that Trump pulled off a good win, n’est ce pas?
Lin: Why do you call me “Gigi”? Did Trump say what he is quoted as saying–or not? Regular media are not “hostile”–they tell the truth about Trump and the truth is that he is a narcissistic liar and totally incompetent. From “Baller Alert”:
“In a post-election interview with NBC’s ‘Meet The Press,’ President-elect Donald Trump shared his opinion on why he scored victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. According to Trump, two pivotal issues are to credit for his success: border control and the rising cost of groceries.
“I won on the border, and I won on groceries,” Trump said. Highlighting the struggles everyday individuals feel, Trump referred to the rising grocery prices as the main focus of his campaign.
“Very simple word, groceries,” Trump continued. “When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that.”
During the conversation, Trump reiterated his commitment to lowering grocery prices “starting day one.” On his campaign trail, Trump consistently spoke on the increasing cost of groceries under the Biden-Harris administration. As a result, Trump has decided to impose hefty tariff taxes on imports to combat the issue.
Meanwhile, Harris argued that the tariff will ultimately act as a “sale tax” on Americans due to rising goods prices. However, in his latest interview, Trump was asked if his tax policy would come at a cost to Americans, to which he responded, “I can’t guarantee anything.””
Even he admits that “the groceries” are the reason he is now stinking up the White House. Trump LIED about being able “starting day one” to bring down grocery prices. The point of this discussion is that Americans did NOT reject January 6th when they voted for Trump like Tom tries to claim. AND, Kamala Harris is correct–tariffs are a sales tax on Americans.
Trump’s entire “presidency” is wrongful because it is the product of LIES–and not just about groceries–he also lied about Project 2025 when polls proved that Americans did not support the provisions–so what does he do? Lie about it, claiming he knew nothing about it, and then he hired multiple authors of it, including Russel Vought, and immediately began implementing it. Project 2025 had dozens of Executive Orders drafted up, waiting for his signature–he even had to ask what he was signing–it’s on video. So, who was really running things? Project 2025 drafted the Executive Orders–not Trump. Pandering to worries about the cost of food and lying about Project 2025 is not “pulling off a good win”–it is cheating, something Trump is famous for. You MAGAts live in a delusional world in which every scenario is twisted to make it look like Trump is not a liar and is successful.
January 6th had nothing to do with Trump getting into our White House–it was the lie about groceries–something even he admits. From “MSN”:
“In a post-election interview with NBC’s ‘Meet The Press,’ President-elect Donald Trump shared his opinion on why he scored victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. According to Trump, two pivotal issues are to credit for his success: border control and the rising cost of groceries.

Hey, you’re back gigi!!!! Too bad about your last rant getting axed, maybe this one will stay around longer.
Don’t forget, you’re a loser, and you always will be a loser. Take care!
And still off-topic. Yugely. Comes here everyday to use up space on Turley’s blog to spit out her off-topic, anti-Trump venom
Yet prices are going down most of al fuel. Which raises the price of everything
The cost of groceries HAS come down. The cost to feed 10 people at a July 4th cookout is down $0.30 from 2024. The cost of eggs is down so much Waffle House announced it is removing the egg surcharge. Might not of been on day one, but, yes Trump kept his campaign promise! Price of gas is down too!
MAGA winning!!!
As usual, you cite NOTHING to support what you claim are facts–how MAGA can you get? Thirty cents less to feed 10 people? That’s 3 cents per–how ludicrous! If MAGA is winning, why do most Americans have a negative opinion about Trump?
Gigi!!! Welcome back!! Still popping off with nonsense, I see. Oh well, maybe this time your post won’t get deleted.

More winning: Scott Bessent predicts $300B+ in tariff revenue for 2025
“[A]fter decomposing the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index into imported and domestic components, found that the prices of imported goods have not only fallen this year, but also declined faster than overall goods prices since February,” the report stated. “These findings contradict claims that tariffs or tariff-fears would lead to an acceleration of inflation.”
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/scott-bessent-predicts-300b-tariff-revenue-2025
What “bait”? AND, you got it wrong—you compared 2024 to 2025–but the cite you provided said 2023–“average cost of a july 4 cookout for10 people in 2023”.
Just the News is MAGA, which is why you always cite them. And WHO will be paying the “predicted” tariffs? It won’t be China, or any other country–it will be the American people. And because of TACO, the tariffs haven’t kicked in yet, and may never do so, but if they do, the cost of imported goods and component parts will go way up. Scott Bessent is a moron, and citing anyone appointed by Trump is a fool’s errand–the main qualification for working in his “administration” is the willingness to do or say whatever you are commanded to do or say–no credibility whatsoever.
If you look at the chart, it says, The Price of a July 4 Cookout, 2025 is down $0.30.
Yet, Just the News is citing the Council of Economic Advisors report.
“[A]fter decomposing the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index into imported and domestic components, found that the prices of imported goods have not only fallen this year, but also declined faster than overall goods prices since February,” they wrote. “These findings contradict claims that tariffs or tariff-fears would lead to an acceleration of inflation.”

And Scott Bessent, like all syncophantic toadies in the Trump administration, is required to “predict” things that make Trump not look like the fool he is–his “predictions” mean nothing. Tariffs haven’t kicked in yet, but when they do, American consumers will pay the increased cost.
Gigi,
Give the good professor’s WP sever time to respond.
We all know it is you, Gigi, based off your words and rhetoric. You give yourself way. Every time.
And again, Scott Bessent and Just The News is citing the Council of Economic Advisors report.
Tariffs not causing inflation, Council of Economic Advisors concludes

Oh! No! More MAGA winning!!
How marvelous!!
Oh! Did you see the UBS report that they expect a construction boom in early 2026, as all those companies who have committed real money, like J&J, Hyundai, Honda, Eli Lilly, Apple and more, on-shore American manufacturing? Not only construction, but jobs? But real high paying jobs at those manufacturing facilities? And the second and third level associated jobs that will go along with them?
I am going to make this simple for you. Just as I baited you with the July 4th cookout, I laid out the bait with the UBS report. Do you really want to take it? Then me to post the UBS report and prove you wrong for all to see? 🙂
Giggles was previously corrected on her laughable misspelling “syncophant.” Obviously a word she recently learned, because she misspelled it AGAIN (so it is obviously not a typo). silly little girl tries to use big words that she has no understanding of.
Who cares if we have typos, we all hit the keys fast, but little gigi, just like georgie and his reference to “Kruger-Dunning,” try to use big words and terms that they don’t even understand let alone spell.
“Scott Bessent predicts $300B+ in tariff revenue for 2025”
Which in reality is some $300 billion looted from the pockets of Americans.
“. . . the prices of imported goods have not only fallen this year . . .”
That statement is based on an accounting sleight-of-hand, i.e., a lie.
Mr. Bessent might want to look at the reality of tariff-laden products with skyrocketing prices: aluminum and steel (and the products manufactured with them), cars, coffee (just to name a few).
HEY DEMMIS: Congressional Democrats couldn’t stop Republicans’ five-year winning streak at the annual Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday, with the GOP side beating them 13-2. 5 YEAR WINNING STREAK!!! QUIT THE LIES DENNIS!!!!
LOL… this is why you Progressives are LOSING and if you keep it up the Conservatives are going to sweep even further the House and the Senate! Noooo… Trump did not call for violence and you don’t get to
rewrite history or the text of Trump’s Jan 6th speech. YOU don’t get to erase the “peacefully and patriotically” part of his speech like some Stalinist overlord!
DENNIS POSTS that DEMS record is 9-1 in baseball. HEY DUMB DENNIS GOP HAS WON 6 in a ROW!!!
Jezzz dennis. Still laying as usual.
I, for one, am still hopping mad at what the unjust democrat-power-structure did to so many good and innocent people on J-6, who had the clear right to protest the most irregular and bizarre “election” in American history….
And it could never have worked without so many infected with TDS that they’d swallow A N Y-thing and EVERYthing, as you still do….
But, get this straight, the call for violence at the J-6 event was created by many plants in the crowd (like Ray Epps): leftist government agents acted out and incited (Staged!) violence and created entrapments. Your rage at a president “out of control” should start with the Biden J-6 false flag. Wake up!
Just that thuggish look on jeffries’ face is enough to completely understand the mindset of the entire lewis farrakhan movement.
YES, we should have picked our own cotton, but the rise of islam within the black community has doubled their dangerousness – you have the added cult of jihadi-like self-righteousness that will push many to make ultimate sacrifices for the “cause”.
We should not take this lightly because many on their side have nothing left to lose if the entire entitlement scheme of the progs comes undone. Telling people who are generationally dependent on welfare etc. that they will lose all of their anchors to life will create desperate and violent people willing to follow a leader.
If we take nothing away from the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Chinese communist revolution… we can foresee just how dangerous angry and whipped up people can be.
Whimsical – you’ve hit the nail on the head and identified the main takeaway. No matter how unhinged these people become, the primary goal is to suppress their violence and prevent this from spiraling into a similar kind of “revolution” – which would plunge us all into darkness for generations.
Defend their right to speak, but they have no right to engage in violence.
The dems have lost their minds.
What we’re hearing: The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
Dustoff: Clearly, they want to write or rewrite, and produce their own Hollywood movie, in which they are cast as the Victims (but are actually the true heroes, winners, prevailers)!
As in “Silence of the Lamboys” (a skirt-like piece of armour made from metal strips), –or maybe Jasmine Crockett starring in “Ben-Her.” Or maybe an NPR Ken Burns documentary about January 6: “Gone With the Windows.”
The Democratic version of election denial.
“Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.”
And Tom Homan responds “we can accommodate your request”.
You forgot to mention Timothy Thibault who “leaked” information and doxed not only political enemies but also federal forensic investigators to “antifa” sympathizers. Or the Supreme Court Justice who did the same to her “conservative” peer justices that promoted the assassination attempt of Kavanaugh and would have changed the balance of A “legal system” that promotes the murder of any Soros dark money targets and protects those who commit violence against those targets.
Just curious “Anonymous”, who is funding to propagate the fake news and false information posted about the above “no kings” position? If one ACCUSES others of Law-fare, the ignorant cultists will not even notice the ACCUSER is the actual law-fare perpetrator.
Res ipsa loquitur.
