1) Those consumed with daily "news" or the 30-second Tik Tok view of the world cannot begin to understand the fundamental changes happening right now to Europe.
2) The Euros signed their death warrants over a decade ago with the twin evils of Muslim immigration and depopulation.
3) The China Virus & its vax were just the cherry on top of destruction.
4) President Trump jokes about Mediocre Britain's Navy, about NATO's military "readiness," but there is a much bigger reality underneath this that has nothing whatsoever to do with guns, drones, bombs.
5) The Euros more than 40 years ago lost the capability to, as united countries, fight in a serious conflict. That's bad enough. Yes, they have some fine units. But the Brits barely handled Argentina in the 1980s.
6) Since then, their militaries (other than training) have been committed to mind-numbing and lethality-breaking "peace-keeping" missions around the world. Nothing says "badass" like not being able to fire a weapon.
7) It is so much worse than this, because if you set CAPABILITIES aside, the more serious issue of "Why the heck are we fighting?" arises. For France? Really? What, the no-go zones?
For Mother Holland?
8) There is not a country in Europe where its military is a honed instrument . . . and here is the most important part . . . "filled with a terrible resolve" (which Adm. Yamamoto did NOT say).
9) Cohesion, motivation, sacrifice. Duty, honor, country. What honor? To the EU?

1) Allow me to address and refine a pretty common approach to Trump among MAGA. There is a notion that every move he makes "here" is predetermined to "obscure" some other move he is making "over there." He is brilliant, but that's not how he set it up.
2) When we were in Hollywood looking to sell our film, I met numerous successful directors. One of the things they explained was that anyone who sees success in Hollywood has multiple projects all going at once--rolling rocks up a hill.
3) They expected that some rocks would get stuck, some would roll back down, but that sooner or later they'd get rocks over the top and the projects would roll.
4) That's the way to view Trump's policies now for over a year.
1) Folks, reviewing the sweep of history---and I admit, I'm no expert in Chinese history---I can't find anyone in all of history who has for the most part peacefully so completely encircled and cut off an enemy state as Trump has done with Chy-na.
2) It is historical, it is mind blowing. Reagan came close with how he isolated and bankrupted the evil commie Soviets--tricky because they still had allies such as Chy-na.
3) But this is a Zulu-style bull-buffalo encirclement.
4) First, he neutralized Venezuela, #1 in the world in oil reserves. (No one talks about off shore Latin American oil, which is massive, but we have that too).
5) When you combine Venezuela & US oil, which is the largest PRODUCER in the world, you've already squeezed Chy-na.
1) Last night @RealSKeshel and I had a talk about the latest voter registration numbers. Most of these are positive for Rs, but the level of overall shifts out of the DemoKKKrats has slowed. They actually led in CO and PA.
2) Seth's view was that we are seeing . . .
2) contd . . . especially in PA the fluctuations of primary campaigns in big cities. He, in particular, watches Northampton and Erie Counties, which were Trump flips, for movement and there is none.
3) We don't have reg stats for GA, but Seth has developed . . .
3) contd . . . a very good proxy in Duval, Co., FL, which mirrors GA very well. Duval has steadily been moving toward Rs.
4) I think, on top of all this, you have a situation where the truly "persuadable" DemoKKKrats after Trump won left the Ds & joined Rs.
1) Zen Master urged me not to engage on this, but I feel I must.
2) Realize that almost six months ago, both he and I, plus I later saw, Shipwreckedcrew, said that the birthright citizenship case would be a loss.
3) I've explained why I think the justices will so rule.
4) I know some of you "kain't hep it," you're as committed to doomspooge as the DemoKKKrats are to TDS, but one last time I'm going to remind you that, excluding what I consider to be "minor cases" (of course, they aren't minor if it's your property or rights that are involved)
4) contd . . . here are the major cases the Supes have decided the "right way" or in our favor in the last few years since Trump appointed the majority:
*Bruen (guns)
*Dobbs (abortion)
*W VA vs EPA (huge in cutting back the swamp/Deep State)
*Jarkesey v. SEC (equally huge)
1) MOTHER of all threads. I told you I'd have one for you when I returned.
2) Politics first, then war, then the economy, then culture.
3) I agree with @RealSKeshel that HISTORY says Rs will lose the House in Nov.
@RealSKeshel 4) Certainly, when a very popular President Ronald Reagan, with a booming economy, lost the House in 1984, it said a lot. But that was then. While history is against the Rs, it's no longer the "same history."
5) There is no comparing the DemoKKKrat Party of the 1980s . . .
@RealSKeshel 5) contd. . . to the current mob of terrorists and chode-smoking Islamicist neuralburgers. These people aren't just evil, Satan has them in charge of the training academies in hell.
6) Why is that important? Because in the 1980s, so-called "moderate" DemoKKKrats could run . . .
1) We are a little over seven months from the midterms. There are realities and genuine hope.
2) The realities are in our HISTORY the party out of power in the presidency wins. Just a fact. No one has good explanations.
3) Some say it's complacency by the party in the WH.
4) In this theory, Trump's supporters are thrilled and "kick back," letting the man do his thing. Having reached the peak, their effort level drops. It's normal. It's why repeating as a champion in any sport is really, really hard.
5) The mirror opposite of this theory is that the other side, consumed with hate for Trump (in this case) can't wait to register their opposition. This view holds that the "anti" fervor, without Trump on the ticket, will always overcome complacency.
