VZ: I think it's safe to say that the GOP, as a whole, is up s*** creek without a paddle or a trolling motor. Anyone with a brain knows this but, for some reason, the BOCO GOP 'luminati cowers when intelligent discussion/debate arises from the informed public.

With that being said, there are two factions of the "informed public";
1. Those who take what they're told by their preferred fakestream TV "News" affiliate as Gospel.

2. Those who dig, read between the lines and question everything that comes across their radar.

I think that if the 'luminati where to hold an unscripted town hall, they'd get their asses handed to them by the informed public that ain't scared to ask hard questions. I know, for a fact, that dudes like Kidwell, for example, wouldn't last five minutes with the right crowd.

They'd started accusing the smart ones as being "democrat plants", try to talk louder than everyone else and storm out of the room. The bad actors are getting very nervous; they're on fumes.

It is my opinion that the County GOP 'lluminati, while trying to cover their own asses, are trying to put real estate between themselves and the Ultra MAGA (Pro-Israel and Pro-Iran War) fringe element that's losing ground rapidly.

Watch what I tell you, if Trump doesn't do well in the midterms, you may see him drop the GOP and go third party. The stage has already been set for it, if they're smart.

I could be wrong

Fritz became the "bad guy" when he dropped the bomb about the City being flat broke and didn't back down from it. He was one that made damn good sense, played it cool and didn't put off religious nutjob vibes.

I'd rather have Fritz over Davis any day....so would many others.

RH: IMO, "holding your nose" and voting for the lesser of two known evils is what's wrong with the whole picture. That, alone, has been the biggest reason why the illusion that Washington warned about, in 1796, still persists today; people keep fueling it and do so with ignorance.

The best thing that any true Patriot could do is to cut off both wings of the bird and let it bleed out in front of everybody: If neither candidate from either of the parties isn't worth a damn, don't vote for a single one of them.

If you don't vote for these idiots, you're not giving them consent to govern you. By voting for these jackasses, you're giving your consent to be governed by their "stupid" AND to foot the bill for said "stupid".

I wonder why party handlers, from both sides, push "Vote, Vote, Vote!" and force THEIR way as the ONLY way?

If people don't take part in the ritual, the ritual has no power by default. I think we're going to see this strategy, moreso, in the upcoming midterms.

RH: if you go down the list, I answered your questions; I just didn't give the answers you wanted to hear. You're also missing the points I'm making, a turd is pointed on both ends.

"Red China" isn't what I'm talking about, that is a deflection away from the real culprits no one wants to talk about: Israel and the "neutral" countries who ACTUALLY control banking and big tech. The "Chi-Comms" don't have shit compared to what Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Israel have.

What we know as "Hamas" is more than likely another subsidiary of the CIA, MI6, etc. I don't support Greater Israel and I don't support Hamas, it's all there to support the globalists and the script that they wrote not so long ago.

Some Republicans consider the act of questioning Israel to be like that of practicing the Dark Arts or something. They can't see past their own indoctrination. Maybe they need to hear what Brother Billy Graham had to say about this when he was talking with Nixon, back in the day. Link coming

Mr. Lewis, I concur..especially with your closing statement. If one would examine things as they are, with bullshit aside, they'd see that Ol' George won't and ain't too far off. Both sides are guilty as hell in this; everybody knows it.

The two biggest things, besides gas/oil prices killing the GOP right now are: Israel and Epstein. Iran takes a middle seat here but is related to what I just mentioned.

The Tiny Toons on the left are pushing for 1917 Bolshevik Communism merged with National Socialism but don't side with Israel. The Tiny Toon Mitch McConnell/Aint Lindsay Bizarros on the far right publicly denounce Socialism BUT support Israel and it's totalitarian Socialist state government.

I think the GOP is trying to cover it's own ass while, at the same time, attempting to formulate a plan not involving questions about high gas prices, Israel and Epstein.

They're running out of exit ramps.

Piratefan: Why are long pants long? I did not say Washington had 53 flock cameras, I said there were "some". Nothing was sensationalized. One flock cameras is one too many, in my opinion.

A point keeps getting proven here: Even some Conservatives, many of whom are good people with sense about them, have too much trust in what they're "told" by their preferred party of government. They want to believe that government is good and that "stupid" doesn't exist in their realm of occupation.

It does exist and we're surrounded by it..anywhere and everywhere. Bizarroworld is very real and if you think about something, odds are, it has been and is being done...somewhere close by.

Common sense awareness is both uncommon and can be overwhelming when first utilized. Eventually, you get used to flying at 35,000 ft at cruising speed. "Stupid" doesn't exist there. It isn't tolerated.

It looks like the GOP is caught at the hypothetical crossroads that ain't hypothetical anymore.

Our crowd spoke with Executive Committee members in Pitt County about this concern in 2021. We were trying to help them get ahead of the problem and avoid a total future meltdown. When they realized that the solution to the problem involved cleaning house and putting in "boots on the ground" people who don't live in Bizarroworld, who aren't afraid to sensibly question, they looked as lost as a fart in the wind. We knew then that nothing was going to be done, they'd have to leave Bizarroworld.

While I do not politically favor several members of the Victory Committee or Executive Committee, they aren't stupid. They know more than they're willing to publicly state the same as we do.

They should know by now that the GOP, as a whole, MAY have to distance themselves from the "stupid" due to changing demographic atmosphere. The face of the GOP has changed and is changing.

Stances have changed

Borderhawk: I ran out of space and couldn't finish lol. The Neo-Cons of the GOP and the left (Yes, they do exist) have orchestrated the whole "immigration crisis"; their timing has become easy to predict.

Has anyone ever thought about what happened to the past, alleged, convoys of people that would always march towards our Southern border close to election cycles? Did they all turn around and go back home or was it all bullshit, that both sides played up, to slip in something underneath of everyone's noses?

"Let's use biometric id technology to track the illegals! We're being overrun and this is the ONLY way we can solve the problem."

Again...they create both the problem AND the solution. The Globalists have always stuck to this strategy, you'd think people would realize this by now.

Like Waylon Jennings asked a reported at the US Festival in '83: "You don't b'lieve everything you hear, do ya?"

Steed: A "Conspiracy Theory" huh, bruh? I find it extremely hard to believe that you think countries aren't using or laying the groundwork for the implementation of Digital ID.... especially for "voting".

If anything, The Neo-Con Autocrats have been pushing AI and Biometric ID applications more than anyone else. They've made it very well known what they intend to do and how they intend to do it.

As my Great Uncle, retired Lt. Col, has always said: "Just because something has a US Govt letterhead on the top of it doesn't make it legit, it's mostly bullshit with sugar sprinkled on top. When they tell you they AREN'T doing something, they're doing it and they've been doing it."

I honestly don't get why some, not all, of the older Boomers, who trained my generation (Gen Y), are now calling us "conspiracy theorists" and breaking the very rules they taught us to follow. It's fkn insanity at it's finest.

Roadkill: you're dead on the money, dude. The way things operate now publicly/ behind the scenes for years blows the minds of the general public at large. Problems at hand then become put in file 13 and labeled as "conspiracy theory"; they shut down and look like they've seen a ghost.

Then there's the milk toast Republicans/closet bizarro Neo-Cons who know what's going on and refuse to actually do anything to gain back position on the console; they don't want to lose that kickback or their seat at the Country Club Gala.

Those who know what's going on are very few in number. Nothing is black and white...just different shades of gray.

CT: Why is it that older MAGA Republicans want to blame EVERYTHING on the Democrats? Do they live in a mystical dome where the prices of everything doesn't affect them? Everybody grandstanding a 30 cent drop in the price of gas is doing exactly what they, the party strategists, want them to do, celebrate deceptive numbers that mean absolutely nothing. In the real realm of actuality, $3.59 a gallon is still way too damn high. They're charging you out the ass for something that should cost way less....and they'd still make a killing.

The Boomer MAGA crowd seems to think that anyone who questions Trump is either a Commie or a rainbow liberal; they're way off the mark here. Out of respect for the man, we criticize the stupidity of the remnant-faction they've surrounded him, Trump, with.

tw, Obamacare is actually a carbon copy of Neo-Con Mitt Romney's "Romneycare". All they did was change the sticker on it and handed the credit to Obama, for scripted purposes.

The GOP is in late stage damage control, as things ain't got like this overnight, and they're concerned about the numbers being shown to them.

They're distancing themselves from the ULTRA-MAGA detachment BUT they can't bring themselves to fully stand with the age demographic that's holding the wall; it would cost them a seat at the Country Club and a couple of Kerr Drug paper bags of monopoly money.

Trump doesn't have the Gen X-Y support he had in '16 and '20. Those numbers are showing now and it's the dinosaur standing in the middle of the room. If there were a Conservative "NASCAR-Burt Reynolds" Democrat party before a "Patriot" party, the GOP would be packing up and going down to the Motel 6.

THIS is what they're sanitizing FOR, it's only a matter of time and sight of the chessboard.

I think most people have the"First Baptist" mindset; we ain't going out there BUT it's their First amendment right as long as they don't bring you bodily harm.

Old testament doomtroopin' aint going to do anything but stir the turd.. especially if we're talking stuff from the Babylonian Talmud; that's some dark stuff, dude.

I think more people are concerned about the fact that the city makes the act of lowering taxes,to a sustainable reasonable rate, sound like something pertaining practicing the Dark Arts. It's baffling that nobody can see the Emperor doesn't have any clothes on.

Something's screwed up and it's screwed up bad enough that everyday is another episode of the Tiny Toon Adventures; it's beyond stupid.

So, to sum it up, they couldn't find anybody here so they went to the next county over?

That ought to say something.

AI has no place in the Arts, it has no soul and removes the human element from the equation. Imperfections and "mistakes" make music/art special. I can't tell you how many legendary riffs have come from f-ups and producers deciding to "keep it on the tape".

I agree that AI, with strict oversight, can be used for the purposes of good BUT if unregulated, you'll see why and how places like Atlantis fell from grace.

B&N hasn't been worth a crap for almost 20 years. They are a footnote of American Culture now. We used to meet girls there, get our music magazines and graphic novels.....but those times have long since passed.

One thing that many Conservatives have forgotten:

Pat McCrory was declared winner of the 2016 Governor's race UNTIL Cooper contested the election results due to votes "mysteriously found" in Durham County. The polls even shut down for several hours during that election, everybody knew they were "stealing" it when it happened.

This has nothing to do with HB2 but it did, the insurance companies. McCrory was the roadblock preventing the monuments from being pillaged for insurance purposes. Cooper, of course, knew this.

McCrory also wouldn't have gone along with the whole COVID narrative. Cooper also knew this too; McCrory costed him more money than he made him.

In an alternate timeline, folks would have raised hell about Cooper throwing the election and asked hard questions. The outcome would have been completely different.
