I b'lieve Trump's playing a very risky hand. He took notes during Mark Robinson's controlled public "demolition" and paid attention to the undercurrent of conversations.

The only problem here is that he runs a huge risk of getting called out at the poker table. If he's got THE winning hand, he's got the upper hand. If he's got a crappy hand, this is going to be a Trainwreck.

I'm all for backing President Trump in draining the swamp but when the good ol' boys show up to blow the beaver dams and get denied access......Houston, we have a problem.

Something ain't right and people need to discuss these concerns publicly. It would be to everyone's best interest to approach these discussions with an open mind as those of the past did many times.

We're all in this together and a smarter community is a stronger community.

RINO Hunter: Frankie Waters, if he was a Republican, he would be in violation of the Republican Party Platform and any party code of ethics. Having said that, there are members of the Beaufort County GOP, who will with a straight face, acknowledge that Frankie Waters is a Republican ...

But as one of Beaufort County's consummate Republicans, I would supremely doubt that sophistic acknowledgement.

Frankie Waters even contributed to and supported the Democrat nominee for sheriff in the last general election. How can he claim to be a Republican? Waters had to resign from the Beaufort County GOP executive committee when that was brought out for party disloyalty.

That is not Waters first rodeo in supporting a Democrat while he claimed to be a Republican. While he was running his first time as a "Republican" for county commissioner, I am told that he contributed to a Democrat legislator who represented part of the county and had a GOP opponent.

Then there is the issue of illegal immigration, which Waters is not in tune with the GOP base on. He seems more in tune with this lefty Bill Lee on that issue. Maybe Bill Lee is Frankie Waters screen name?

Questions like this can and should be dealt with in the primary if Waters runs again.

Europeans are seeing their nations being destroyed by mass migration and are trying to save them while they can. In some countries, the politicians are listening. In others, citizens are changing their politics to parties that do listen, like the continuing increase is support of the Alternativ fur Deutschland in Germany. AfD is already the main opposition party in the Bundestag and has increased its support since last year's election.

The Smart Phone is the irony of our age; the information age.

People, incredibly, are not getting any smarter.

Bro really… I could care less about the Govt of Poland.

I try but to no avail. We are not ready.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Donald Tusk, the prime minister of Poland (at least for now, as his government seems to be unraveling over illegal immigration) is definitely a globalist, and therefore an elitist. I am not familiar with Mrump. Oh, and when the Tusk government goes, the polls show that nationalists and ultra-nationalists will have a majority and Poland will decisively reject globalism.

There will be globalism. Who is able to make war with the beast?

Someone really has a beef with ice water? That’s wild, lukewarm is no good, as it was written:

“ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Rev 3:15)

Mitch McConnell has been a useful idiot for first Obama and then Biden. It is time for him to just go away. His health is so bad he can hardly even walk on his own, but he keeps staying in DC to keep stabbing Republicans in the back. Kentucky law provides for a special election if the seat is vacated, so there is no danger of an appointment by the Democrat governor. Why won't that worthless McConnell just resign or die from his health problems or something. Good riddance when he is gone.

Socialism means everyone will be equally miserable and equally poor.
EXCEPT for the elites.
Do ya'll recall that after the Soviet Union fell, they found very exclusive Luxurious & SECRET neighborhoods where the privileged ELITES lived. The rest of the citizens had no idea it existed.

I believe that most big name Dems dont fear Socialism because they
believe they will be protected within the group of privileged Elites. I wouldnt bet on it.

There is a vast canyon between legal and illegal. I support the illegal getting everything we can throw at them.
However, there is nothing wrong with a work visa program that allows only the worker (not his family) to come for six months and then go home. I do not believe we should pay social security taxes on these people because it allows them to tap into our social security system.
