Election news

Taylor Swift influence next election

Democrats could use Taylor Swift endorsement for their advantage in next election to influence her cult in young generation to vote for Biden. This is very dangerous which Jack Posobiec have tweeted that for months and now New York Times Inside Biden’s Anti-Trump Battle Plan (and Where Taylor Swift Fits In) encourage Democrats to get Taylor Swift endorsement and use to campaign on abortion.

What is ridiculous that 18% of voters could vote for whoever Taylor Swift endorse according to Paul Joseph Watson video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKVTsNrHfE0 --Alex Kosh (talk) 20:11, January 29, 2024 (EST)

Trump Allies Pledge ‘Holy War’ Against Taylor Swift

Trump operatives may use surrogates to attack Taylor Swift. Conservative (talk) 20:50, February 1, 2024 (EST)

• Taylor Swift admits George Soros is one of her owners.

  In 2018, Swift endorsed Bredesen against Blackburn as U.S. senator from Tennessee. The endorsement was widely publicized, but Blackburn won 55-44. According to Wikipedia's graph, there was no signification shift after the endorsement. Now that Swift is preparing to endorse Biden, she is an electoral juggernaut? I am not seeing it. Swift is certainly getting plenty of publicity out of this gimmick. Update. Taylor's politics revolves around LGBT stuff. Neither Pew nor AP-NORC are polling on this issue, so I doubt that it is election critical. PeterKa (talk) 08:55, February 2, 2024 (EST)

Thanks for your insights, Peter and Alex, as always! My opinion is that the Super Bowl should be boycotted this year for promoting gambling, the liberal agenda, Taylor Swift's liberal claptrap. I won't be surprised if Trumps says he's not watching it this year.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 03:27, February 3, 2024 (EST)

I don't follow football all that much, but a friend of mine who does told me that ever since Taylor Swift began dating Travis Kelce, the NFL appears to have been rigging every Chiefs game in their favor using biased referees. The reason they're (supposedly) doing that is because they see Swift's presence at Chiefs games as a tool they could use to boost viewership ratings, and thus make more money. And in order to reap the maximum possible benefits from such a scheme they would have to rig the games to make sure the Chiefs at minimum make it to the Super Bowl. Them winning the Super Bowl would be a bonus, but not a requirement.

For me, that alone would be enough to warrant a boycott. I mean, why waste time watching what is essentially a fake Super Bowl where one of the teams made it that far by cheating?--Geopolitician (talk) 00:38, February 5, 2024 (EST)

Trump: Dictator Comments ‘Said in Jest,’ ‘We Were Having Fun’

See here. Like that wasn't obvious before. On another note, I don't think he went far enough. If I were him, I would've pointed out that Washington establishment used to love Republican presidents who govern like a dictator, and that they even built a memorial to one of them.--Geopolitician (talk) 00:53, February 5, 2024 (EST)

Notice how all the Supercarriers are named after Republican presidents? Why is that? Even when Dems control all three branches of government (House, Senate, and White House as AOC says) they keep up funding and don't start a new program named after Democrat presidents.

The answer is, this gives insight into how the Senate works. Only now, as Supercarriers verge on extinction in modern warfare, the GOP voter base needs to smarten up as their name has been used by globalist warmongers. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 06:41, February 5, 2024 (EST)

That's not why I posted the above. I wanted to point out that Lincoln was a dictator.--Geopolitician (talk) 22:52, February 5, 2024 (EST)

Yah, I got that. What's the point? You trying g to compare Zelensky to Lincoln now? RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 14:19, February 6, 2024 (EST)

No, the point is that the Democrats are hypocrites for attacking Trump on this issue. And that conservatives have been holding their tongue and compromising their values around Lincoln's legacy for far too long.--Geopolitician (talk) 15:04, February 6, 2024 (EST)

That's what martial law does - it automatically turns the commander-in-chief into a dictator. The term is somewhat abused today. In Roman times, the dictator was viewed as a national savior. And since governments derive their just powers by the consent of the governed, we have granted all presidents the option to declare martial law at his discretion and seize absolute power. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 23:34, February 6, 2024 (EST)

No, we haven't. One of the reasons the Constitution was drafted was to prevent us from doing such a thing.--Geopolitician (talk) 01:15, February 7, 2024 (EST)

NO HE DOESN'T.--Geopolitician (talk) 17:37, February 7, 2024 (EST)

The President cannot suspend our constitutional rights under cloud of martial law. Period. Any legal opinion stating or even implying otherwise has the worth of used toilet paper.--Geopolitician (talk) 23:03, February 8, 2024 (EST)

As I said, in the modern age the role or title of "Diktator" has taken on a rather dark meaning. Cincinnatus was a Roman Dictator and hero. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 01:29, February 7, 2024 (EST)

No kidding. The SPLC likes to call anything opposed to big government racist.--Geopolitician (talk) 17:46, February 7, 2024 (EST)

I personally consider Jefferson Davis to be a dictator as well, but of course the SPLC types would ignore that fact if they ever set their sights on me.--Geopolitician (talk) 18:04, February 7, 2024 (EST)

Cincinatus said, "Yesterday I was dictator, today I am farmer." The CP article even notes the Roman Senate's implementation of the dictator clause had a 6-month sunset provision in it. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 16:07, February 8, 2024 (EST)

"Democrats work to flip back New York's 3rd Congressional District."Telling (talk) 19:06, February 13, 2024 (EST)

I think Democrats will flip this seat. It was big mistake to oust George Santos --Alex Kosh (talk) 20:46, February 13, 2024 (EST)

We lost it.Telling (talk)

Tom Suozzi is a former lawyer and accountant.[3] He might not be as crazy as the New York politicians Kathy Hochul and AOC. By New York standards, he's probably in a pretty conservative district. Accounting is filled with conservatives. You don't find many leftist revolutionaries who are former accountants. I guess time will tell as far as how he votes.

The Heritage Foundation gave George Santos a perfect voting 100% record so its a setback for the GOP obviously.Conservative (talk) 00:15, February 14, 2024 (EST)

Biden's poll numbers

We've had a week to process the special counsel's revelation that Joe Biden is a vegetable -- and it turns out that the country is just fine with it. His net favorable rating is at -15.6 today, with no significant movement in the last two weeks. Not only that, but Biden polls better against Trump than any other Democrat, according to Emerson. Here is a clip that's been doing the rounds recently:

Joe: Do want to get a picture in front?

Jill: We already did.

Joe: Oh

This is a guy with the memory of a moth.

If you compare Biden today to a video of Biden from five years ago, the decline in his mental capabilities is quite dramatic. He is going to be president five years from now? The liberal media apparently thinks so. They are back to cheerleading for him, while labeling anyone who suggests that he might drop out as a conspiracy theorist. PeterKa (talk) 04:18, February 17, 2024 (EST)

Biden has been falling down, being wandering around stages and not able to talk well for a while. The Special Counsel didn't make any startling revelation about Biden's cognitive abilities. So no significant change in the poll numbers. In addition, a lot of people aren't paying attention to politics yet, but as the election nears, they will pay more attention to politics.

After your two-year long Russia hoax paroxysm, you have ZERO credibility commenting on any 2024 election-related matters.

'Russiagate' Hoax Fueled War In Ukraine And 'Proxy War With Russia', Says Trump, and User:Conservative contributed to it for two solid years, adding $165 billion to the national debt, fueling the 10.8% annualized inflation we now experience, and costing 500,000 war dead.

Russia is a dysfunctional country with a lot of unhappy people and high divorce/alcoholism rates compared to most of the world. Like most Americans, I don't have hyper Russophilia and I am not hyper-focused on Russia. As far as the future of Russia, we'll see what happens once the dust settles more with Russia/China in terms of their current significant problems, but I am not bullish on either country. See: [[Essay: The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future]]

The "what if" election?

Not that CNN is my to go place.. but he is not not on the extreme. Interesting analysis [8].Telling (talk) 19:18, February 17, 2024 (EST)

Even Trump says Biden not likely to run. We spend too much time beating up on Biden personally. Everybody knows he's out. We should focus on the policy errors, inflation, foreign policy, etc. which Kamala, Michael Robinson, Newsom or whoever will likely continue. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself}

Right. You remind what some gave saud in 2008 about wasting time on Hillary. And G. Newsom should be the target. As Kamala's rating aren't exactly through the roof...Telling (talk) 21:35, February 17, 2024 (EST)

There's all sorts of cards to be played here: for example, why the DNC racists now won't implement the 25th Amendment cause they don't want Kamala, and why later Michael Robinson is more qualified than Kamala. All three of those candidates need to be pressed on what their stand on the border issues are, and entered into their bio pages here. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:42, February 17, 2024 (EST)

As to Bidenomics, they are trying to hide behind shrinkflation - blaming the greedy capitalist middleman for inflation rather than where the blame lies with government (the Inflation Reduction Act & Ukraine aid funding). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:48, February 17, 2024 (EST)

I think too late for Dems to replace their candidate, and the time is running against them. Biden is still their strongest candidate due to his incumbency power --Alex Kosh (talk) 20:56, February 18, 2024 (EST)

They probably have a system that works now. She has a personal staff she screams at to get her coffee, and they just bring her the talking points to read from the deep state. The other day she sounded just like Papa Bush in the 1991 Gulf War, "What we seek is stability and security" (it doesn't matter if she understands what she's saying, as long as she reads it verbatim. The only problem remaining is talking with journalists). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 14:56, February 20, 2024 (EST)

Our Category:Economics articles could be updated and expanded, like the inflation and recession pages, or national debt. There is increasing interest in these subjects, sort of on a non-partisan basis. Inflation is a shock to the Millennial generation, kinda like it was to boomers in the 1970s. Even the "Greatest Generation" suffered through inflation in WWII and the late 1940s. In both instances it ended with a return to Normalcy and election of Republican presidents.

Incident in Jordan. Who done it?

What are the chances that Biden's claim that Iranian proxies killed 3 American troops and injured 25 others is yet another lie?--Geopolitician (talk) 18:43, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Iranian proxies who?

Let's look at the logic: If Biden wants to hold Iran responsible for allowing proxies to attack Americans soldiers, the US will get nuked for arming, training, and funding Ukrainian proxies, not to mention providing intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance for murder and terrorist attacks on Russians, both in Ukraine, and Russian civilians in Russia proper.

"Bu bu but Rob, we're the good guys,..." RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:39, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Oh, and Putin's a corrupt kleptocrat, so we need to nuke 145 million Russians along with Iran (but maybe 175 million Americans might survive on a contaminated planet. Seriously, this is the insane garbage you can find in Conservapedia Essay space). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:55, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Of course we shouldn't trust everything Biden says. But in this case, Islamic Republic of Iran's proxy claimed responsibility. "The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella organization of hardline Iran-backed militant groups, claimed attacks on three bases, including one on the Jordan-Syria border.[13]. BTW Nikki's rhetoric of lumping Putin and Iran isn't helpful. Though they're allies of convenience so far. Mixing Ukraine war with Gaza isn't right.Telling (talk)

Putin's just PO'd cause Biden stole the $163,000 a month that was being paid to other Russian kleptocrats. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:02, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Also re Geopolitician's question. Trump also realizes Itan did attack .[14]. My hope is that there is NO 'military' strike inside Iran - but on its militias-proxies. And if there is a decision to attack inside Iran, I hope it's only on equipment / destroying weapons, etc..Telling (talk) 21:41, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Iran equips hovercraft with long range (1,000 km) missiles. If you hit Iran, Iran will start taking out US warships. Yes, they have that capability to take out warships in Operation Prosperity Guardian.

Biden will probably take the bait.

And Larry Johnson's probably right, after 2 years we've yet to see a "drone" injure 25 people. likely a missile (which surely the Pentagon/White House know but are lying about for propaganda purposes, to build public support, as if war with Iran will be easy). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:49, January 28, 2024 (EST)

Targetting ONLY drones manufacturing/capability is probably the measured response. Not attacking lives inside Iran.Telling (talk) 15:20, January 29, 2024 (EST)

Unfortuneately, it probably wasn't a drone. All US bases in the ME are within precision guided missile attack from Iran. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 15:42, January 29, 2024 (EST)

Unfortunealtely again, we have a population in the United States that's still living in the 1990s vis-a-vis US and potential adversaries military capabilities (in the case of Biden, make that the 1960s). Everybody today has precision guided technology, night vision equipment (the Russians just unveiled their thermo-insulated stealth clothing that defeats ultraviolet thermo-imaging night vision equipment), satellite surveillance, etc. etc.

Hopefully, Biden will do some military action that amounts to kicking the dog so he can make a political ad touting his brilliant, bold leadership in the face of adversity. That's our hope for the best case scenario right now.

A missile attack on Iran proper would basically be a test firing of Iran's missile defense system. It will only result in closer technology sharing between Russia and Iran of Russia's electronic warfare systems. Ask NATO & Kyiv how that worked out. Alternatively, since the sinking of the Moskva we've been anticipating an attack on US satellites. An attack on Iran could escalate that far much quicker.

And it's pretty obvious the US has inferior electronic warfare missile defense systems allegedly "protecting" US military personnel and bases in the Middle East and worldwide.

The Iron Dome system for example, has a finite number of missiles and is designed to defend against homemade missiles from Lebanon; it won't survive an overwhelming barrage of ballistic missiles. And neither carrier-based, ground or air launched US missiles can sufficiently degrade Iran's offensive missile capabilities. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 23:43, January 29, 2024 (EST)

It should be targeted at drones capability.Telling (talk) 00:17, January 30, 2024 (EST)

This attack was bait. Do you think the US can penetrate Iran's electronic warfare systems to sufficiently degrade drone factories, in either Iraq or Iran? RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 00:22, January 30, 2024 (EST)

I hope the US can penetrate, if not, we are in deep trouble. But again, it has to be focused on this technology, any loss of lives are counter productive, as of now IMHO. But to attack inside Iran (which some push) without this objective is not a good idea. But not to do anything - that opinion, no expert on any party holds, ( even if it was bait, the US has no choice, as this low meeky weakness invites more and even stepping up by the Mullah regime). And if hacking drone factories can do it, without firing missiles that would be awesome.Telling (talk) 00:37, January 30, 2024 (EST)

Apparantly, the US wants to test Iran's missile defense capabilities (in much the same way NATO/Ukraine has been constantly probing Russian capabilities with attacks on Crimea). Iran does have the ability to shoot down a $135 million Reaper drone.

(Thus discussion is getting a bit technical cause we must distinguish between offensive and defensive missile capabilities. Defensive missile capabilities = the ability to shoot down a bullet with a bullet).

The immediate problem is, American troops on land and at sea are extremely vulnerable because of inferior missile defense and electronic warfare capabilities. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 00:39, January 30, 2024 (EST)

"I'm going to be president of everybody whether they live in a red state or a green state." That's how Joe Biden started this historic press conference. It went downhill from there.

Okay, we all mix up words and names from time to time. Here is the most revealing part of the press conference: He pulled out a rosary at one point. It was a prop for a story he was going to tell to show how great his memory still was. Then he forgot the story and went to questions.

Why did Biden illegally retain classified documents? These documents established that he was already advocating a withdrawal from Afghanistan as early as 2009 when he was vice president. He showed them to his ghost writer to show what a brilliant strategist he was. That is to say, Biden withdrew from Afghanistan to vindicate a proposal that had been near and dear to him when he was vice president, but was rejected by Obama. When the withdrawal proved to be a disaster, then it was all the fault of a deal that Trump had made with the Taliban. The existence of these documents became inconvenient.

The political betting markets data indicates that Biden still retains a 30% chance of winning the presidency in 2024.[22] Twenty years ago, who would have predicted a man with marked cognitive decline would have such high odds of winning the presidency?

Furthermore, $8,000 could have been laid out by ONE bettor, and $2,000 by 2,000 individual bettors.

• Andrew McCarthy in NR makes a great point. If Trump gets prosecuted for obstructing investigators and Biden gets off for cooperating with them, what about Hillary? She had her lawyers smash cell phones with hammers. As for the Hur report, McCarthy calls it "flawed — at least if it is meant as a justification for not indicting the president; if it is meant as a predicate for invoking the 25th Amendment, it is quite well done."

• Of course, the real reason not to indict Biden is that no DC jury will convict a Democrat. We need to start videotaping trials so that they can be held in one location and then shown to a random, untainted jury in another part of the country.
• This naturally leads to the question of, what is going on in Garland's DOJ? Is he trying to get Biden removed from office?

How can Joe Biden think that winning the election is even possible after the Robert Hur report and that press-conference-from-hell? Esquire thinks Attorney General Merrick Garland needs to be replaced with a "wartime consigliere," like in The Godfather.

In oral arguments on the Colorado case, even liberal Justice Elena Kagan acknowledged that the eligibility of a presidential candidate "sounds awfully national to me" and thus outside of Colorado's jurisdiction. But what if Donald Trump is convicted of insurrection in federal court? If they can find a federal judge somewhere who will do it just before the election, they just might be able to take Trump off the ballot.

So why hasn't the Department of Justice done this already? IMO, Garland is this election cycle's James Comey.

Mark Steyn loses climate libel suit

After twelve years of litigation, a court in the District of Columbia has found columnist Mark Steyn libel for $1 million after he compared climate charlatan Michael Mann to convicted child molester and football coach Jerry Sandusky, or at least that's how the mainstream media is reporting it. This analogy was certainly in bad taste, but that isn't a basis for a legal case. After all, everyone and his brother has been compared to Adolf Hitler at some point. Although no one involved in the case lives in DC, Mann filed his case there to take advantage of the District's notoriously partisan courts.

The legal basis for the suit is actually that Steyn referred to Mann's hockey stick graph as "fraudulent":

"Michael Mann’s hockeystick graph was wildly different from hundreds of studies of other studies and instantly became the pet graph of the IPCC. It used the wrong proxy, the wrong tree, and the wrong type of averaging. Whole books were written on how bad it was. But when Mark Steyn called it fraudulent Mann sued," according to blogger Jo Nova.

Perhaps journalists have been tossing around the word fraudulent far too freely and its time to crack down. Could the MSM follow a rule under which no one can be called a fraud unless he has been convicted of fraud?

There is reason to believe that the "fraudulent" angle is just a pretext as well. Although Mann suffered no actual damages, his lawyer asked for punitive damages to deter "climate deniers." In other words, the ruling treats conservative politics as a form of malicious behavior. PeterKa (talk) 22:14, February 15, 2024 (EST)

On the bright side, the appeals court will almost certainly reduce the amount of the award. If it rules that punitive damages can be no more than five times actual damages, Mann takes home a total of $6. In addition, there is a well-known case called New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) which limits the ability of public figures to sue for libel. This precedent has already been used to absolve National Review, Steyn's publisher. Ironically, Steyn separated his case from NR's so that it could be decided more quickly. Yet it has taken longer.

None of the media commentary focuses on Steyn's use of the word "fraudulent," although one might think that this issue would be worth a mention. Steyn certainly isn't the only writer who uses this word in a nonlegal way. Instead, the commentary portrays "scientists" as a victim class. The gist of it seems to be people like Mann should be above criticism. Although a thousand headlines proclaim him to be a "climate scientist," Mann's PhD is in geology and geophysics.

Hunter Biden "has never traveled to Ukraine.”

FBI informant Alexander Smirnov could not have known about an alleged $10 million bribe made to the Bidens because Hunter "has never traveled to Ukraine," according to a jaw-dropping DOJ court filing. The MSM has exploded with stories claiming that the Bidens are now vindicated. I guess I'm the one who has to point this out: Hunter got a high paying, no-show job at a Ukrainian company without ever visiting Ukraine. Is that just part of the deal when you're the vice president's son?

Jason Goodman & Mike Stranahan interviewed Telizhenko the other day. [27] Teleizhenko sat in the January 2016 White House meeting with Ciaramella when Ukrainian officials were instructed to end the investigation into Hunter & Burisma, and open investigations into Trump & Manafort.

The Smirnov indictment is out and it looks an awful lot like entrapment. Smirnov had been considered a reliable informant for many years. The FBI agents never challenged him on anything. They just let him ramble until he said something that they could treat as incriminating. It's yet another story to illustrate the "Don't talk to cops" principle. According to the indictment, Smirnov claimed that Hunter has visited the Premier Palace Hotel in Kyiv many times. This, they claim, is untrue, per statement in the OP.

Senator McCarthy at Librivox

Just thought I would let everybody know, I'm sure there will be at least one person around here who might find this useful. We made a discovery a few months back that the works of Joseph McCarthy are in the public domain. Didn't take long to initiate the work and now the work is completed. The book written by McCarthy we selected to elevate into an audio book for the purpose of greater education is America's Retreat from Victory: The Story of George Catlett Marshall, and it is both high quality audio and it is read at a good pace. It is easy to follow while listening, but the best part is that the audio book is free and open source in the public domain so it can be shared as many times and there are no strings attached. And I wanted to add, I wasn't the reader on this one. [28] Progressingamerica (talk) 22:48, February 24, 2024 (EST)

Who Lost China? Probably the best narrative setting the record straight. Marshall wasn't a communist or a traitor; he was just naive and surrounded himself with communist advisors (kinda like Henry Wallace). RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 00:05, February 25, 2024 (EST)

At the end of World War II in August 1945, the Soviets and the CCP controlled Manchuria and much of North China. Stalin was determined to keep these conquests. The North was already a lost cause when Marshall arrived in China in December 1945. The U.S. and the Chinese Nationalists should have focused their efforts on holding territory south of the Yangtze. The Nationalist capital was Nanjing, which itself is in the South.

In late 1948, the Nationalists required everyone to convert their valuables to worthless "gold yuan." China's middle class had been the party's base of support. Now it was being scammed so that the KMT could grab all it could and flee to Taiwan. The bloodiest battle of the Chinese Civil War was the Huaihai campaign of November 1948 to January 1949. This was a battle for Beijing. After this battle, the Communists advanced southward almost without opposition.

The various Chinese armies used German ammunition. The U.S. could have sent a lot more of this to China if there had been better coordination. The British put their captured German ammo on Helgoland and blew it up in a 3.2 kiloton explosion in April 1947 called "Operation Big Bang." PeterKa (talk) 01:43, February 25, 2024 (EST)

The above linked article goes into how, after the Japanese surrender, Soviet occupiers armed Mao's forces with captured Japanese weapons to fight the US-backed Chiang Kai-shek forces. Marshall was Army chief-of-staff at the time. (Incidentally, the Russian Federation, as the successor regime of the USSR, recently reminded the Japanese government that there has never been a formal peace treaty signed with Japan since the USSR declared war in August 1945 and technically a state of war still exists).

NATO Chief says Ukraine will inevitably join the Defense Alliance

I said earlier Turkey would approve Sweden and Sweden will join as NATO's 32nd Member, which has now happened.

NATO is not perfect, it has problems, which a Socially Conservative US President could easily solve btw. But NATO, which represents Europe's Common Defense, has a right to exist.

Nuland out

With Nuland out, this marks the end of US involvement in Ukraine. Mike Johnson and the GOP must hold firm now not to spend another dime.

Why?

• Zelensky is an illegitimate president after March 29, the scheduled presidential election date that Zelensky cancelled. After March 29, Zelensky can look forward to the Mussolini/Gaddafi treatment should the crowds or soldiers get ahold of his corpse to degrade it for what he has done to their country and their loved ones.

• Deep State insiders in the German/NATO puppet regime most likely leaked the orders from Washington to attack Moscow (IOWs, it wasn't a KGB hack). "The ghost of Hitler is alive" in Germany and Europe as the Russians say. This marks the beginning of the dissolution of NATO and Germany finally reclaiming its sovereignty from the United States.

• Using the Germans as a proxy to force the unnecessary deaths of another 500,000 people between now and the US elections in November to save the White House for whichever Democrat runs is Nuland's idea. Someone (Anita Dunn, Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco?) finally whispered in Biden's ear to pull the plug on Nuland and the Ukraine project. With the death of Nuland comes the death of NATO expansion in Ukraine.

Can a lot of ugly things happen before we see Ukrainians clinging to the wheels of aircraft and falling from the skies as the last Americans leave?. You betcha. But America is just going to have to accept another "L" and move on, as always.

RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 14:50, March 5, 2024 (EST)

Biden's style has always been to tack to the middle of the Democratic Party. There are no antiwar Dems at this point, so I find it unlikely that Nuland will be replaced by someone who wants to pull out of Ukraine. Perhaps she is leaving in response to Biden's drop in the polls, to the Supreme Court's decision to leave Trump on the ballot, or to Michelle Obama's decision not to run. Johnson plans to hold the Ukraine vote at the beginning of April. I don't think Obama wants a Dem other than himself to be president, and the threat of Biden being reelected is receding.

Update: She left because Blinken passed her over for promotion, according to this article. I am sure Blinken didn't need her hogging the spotlight. She is one of the most influential policymakers in the administration, and where is Biden himself? PeterKa (talk) 10:45, March 6, 2024 (EST)

Blinken has no authority. Her replacement is a placeholder. It is Nuland who aggressively created the current world crisis over many years, with people like Obama, Hillary, and Biden in tow.

So Nuland was ousted after German whistleblowers leaked NATO plans to use Germany as a proxy to attack the Russian mainland.

Business Insider reports: "Former US ambassador to Afghanistan John Bass was in the middle of teaching future US diplomats when he was called to return to the country and help lead America's chaotic withdrawal as Taliban forces swarmed Kabul...Bass was so unprepared for the assignment that he needed to make a quick run to the outdoor store REI to get the necessary gear that he no longer had since he didn't live in the nation's capital...Before leaving to buy his gear, Bass offered a quick goodbye to the class of future ambassadors he was training in suburban Virginia: "With apologies, I'm going to have to take my leave. I've just been asked to go back to Kabul and support the evacuations, so I've got to say goodbye and wish you all the best, and you're all going to be great ambassadors".

Trump vs Anderson: U.S. Supreme Court to the rescue

As one venerable institution after another is overrun by the woke left, we can celebrate that the U.S. Supreme Court still does its job. Expert after expert loudly proclaimed that Trump vs Anderson was unstoppable. See "The 14th Amendment Effort to Get Trump Off the Ballot Was Dumb — and Doomed." The court brushed aside this challenge to Trump's ballot status in a 9-0 vote. Aside from the legal aspects of the case, what kind of democracy would America be if major party candidates could be taken off the ballot this way?

The liberal media's line today is that ballot status is a state's rights issue. Say what? An individual state doesn't have a right to its own interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment was adopted to limit the authority of the states, some of whom had been "bad actors" in the U.S. Civil War, as Clarence Thomas put it in the oral argument.

After an amnesty was passed in 1872, the 14th Amendment's ban on insurrectionists was generally understood to be a dead letter. The idea of using antique laws to keep Trump off the ballot while screaming "democracy" is said to be the brainchild of Marc Elias. At the time of the demonstration on January 6, 2021, not many Americans knew that there was a provision in the Constitution to keep insurrectionists off the ballot. Both Gore in 2000 and Hilary 2017 had sponsored action to overturn elections. So this was an established, if unsavory, tradition by 2021. Pelosi pulled guards out of the Capitol and disorder ensued. Otherwise, January 6 would have been just another day with a demonstration at the Capitol.

Joe Biden on steroids?

The last time we saw mumbling Joe, he was just awake enough to chat with a few imaginary friends and sneak out of the room.

The big take home here is that there has never been another president who is so angry at Americans whose only offense is that they voted for someone other than him.
