The following article, “They” Will Do ANYTHING To Win, was first published on Conservative Firing Line. (Natural News) The always mysterious question when trying to figure out what is happening in this insane world and why it is happening is who are “they”? In the current chaotic atmosphere, “they” are in the process of throwing their senile child sniffing pedophile Trojan horse president overboard because his dementia ridden brain has been … Continue reading “They” Will Do ANYTHING To Win ...

55 seconds The msm are beyond vile. Annihilated here. ??‍♂️???? “Donald Trump Jr. stands up to the parasite media and calls them clowns. This CNN kook actually brings up the ”separating 5000 children from their parents story” after treasonous Xiden and Mayorkas just allowed 80,000 untracked children across the border, plus the fentanyl crisis plus the rapes of migrants plus the war zones at numerous border locations. The parasite media has the consciousness of tapeworms. Every lying parasite media outlet should face $1 billion in damages for real harms caused to American families. Join: @davidavocadowolfe ?

It was a remarkable week, destined for the history books on so many levels: The Republican National Convention of 2024. Six months earlier, the Democrats were salivating. They truly had mastered the “science” of political science. Judges in Maine and Colorado would keep Donald Trump off their state ballots, and that would start a tsunami of state judiciary rulings barring Trump from running. Beyond that, he would be tied up in so many court cases all over the place — from New York to Georgia to Florida to Washington, D.C. — that his head would be spinning, unable to discern up from down. He would be barred from competing even for his party’s nomination, and, if perchance he would be too stupid to realize he is all washed up, then his party’s leaders would consult internally, gather him for an intervention, and read him their riot act: “Sorry, we insist that you step aside. You had your time and your presidency, and now you have to face the music. Your train has left the station.” (READ MORE: Trump Accepts Republican Presidential Nomination) It was all so perfect, even better planned than Hillary’s criminally fraudulent Operation Crossfire Hurricane. Foolproof. Children would be reciting a new Mother Goose ditty for years to come: Biden and Jill went up Capitol Hill To prepare Trump for the slaughter. On Jill’s way down, she secured her crown, With Biden mumbling after. It all was so perfect. And then it wasn’t. The case in Manhattan was conducted with so much obvious legal corruption that, by the time it ended, the big news was not the pointless 34 felony convictions that will be overturned by the appellate courts summarily, whether on the state level or in the United States Supreme Court, but the record tens of millions of dollars raised by the Trump campaign in the aftermath of his lawfare martyrdom. In Georgia, the spotlight focused not on the case but on the clown of a district attorney who was engaged in an ongoing sexual tryst with another woman’s married man, and who had him filing for divorce and traveling with her around the world. And, oh yes, by the way, she had hired him at a huge pay level to take on an assignment for which he was in way over his head: prosecuting the former president of the United States now running for reelection. So that flopped. All eyes turned toward the D.C. and Florida cases, where a legal interloper was prosecuting the same president without proper authority. Don’t Take the Car Keys Imagine you don’t like Joe Biden and happen to have a law degree. So you decide to google stuff, read the report of the Nancy Pelosi Jan. 6 committee, get a guy in the White House cabinet to OK you doing so, and then bring your own lawsuit against Biden on behalf of the American people. Huh? OK, let’s try it this way: You are 12 years old. You grab your Dad’s keys to the car and drive around. When Dad gets home and can’t find his car, he is about to call the cops, but you show up first. (READ MORE: Want to Be a Rebel? Be a Conservative.) “Were you driving my car?” “Yes, Dad.” “Are you out of your mind? You can’t do that. And you didn’t even ask first?” “But I did ask for permission, Dad, before I took the keys. I did ask. And Betty said it would be OK.” “Who? Betty?  Your eight-year-old sister? Are you nuts? She doesn’t have the authority to let you drive my car!” That’s Merrick Garland and Jack Smith. Garland is eight-year-old Betty. Under the Constitution, he has as much right as Betty to assign Jack Smith to prosecute President Trump. The president is the only one who can do that — and he still needs the Senate’s confirmation. So those two litigations are shot. And, beyond all that, the United States Supreme Court then came out and ruled that all or most of these cases probably are null and void anyway because they are built around actions the president undertook as part of his executive duties. So the lawfare scheme fizzled. And the Maine and Colorado courts were reversed. It’s About the Passage of Time Then came the debate at which Biden was going to wipe the floor with Trump and then take him to the woodshed. Only, he couldn’t find the woodshed, and he couldn’t find the floor. So, now, it is the Democrat party scheming to ambush Biden with an intervention to relegate him back to campaigning from the basement, only this time with the computer and Zoom unplugged. The Democrats are the ones in chaos three months before the election. To summarize the turn of events: “It’s all about the passage of time. The passage of time. You see, when you think about it, there’s great significance to the passage of time…. And there’s such great significance to the passage of time.” The passage of time. Who could have known that those words spoken on March 21, 2022, would prove so wise and prophetic? The passage of time. All the planned lawfare is down the drain. Trump is on the rise. Biden is sinking. Republicans are celebrating with Amber Rose, the president of the Teamsters Union, and a black preacher from inner-city Detroit. While Democrats are in such a frenzy that they even have postponed the date for electing their presidential nominee. There is so much great significance to the passage of time. The passage of time. With the close of the 2024 Republican National Convention, it now becomes crystal clear why truly brilliant minds like George Will have been all-out Never Trumpers for eight years since 2016. It seemed irrational on the surface: Really, George? You would prefer Hillary and Biden and loose cannons like Sonia Sotomayor and She Who Cannot Define “Woman,” schools that teach about pansexuality and half a dozen pronouns, laws compelling doctors to perform sex-change surgeries while forbidding school teachers from informing parents that their kids are undergoing gender crises? Really, you prefer open borders, defunding police, and ending bail?  How can you, a conservative, be so blind in your hate for Trump? It never made sense to me how brilliant minds like George Will could be so Never Trump. It couldn’t be the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) that plagues lesser minds. George Will is not a blind hater; he is an intellectual who enjoys engaging in opposing ideas. However, with the close of the 2024 RNC, it now is clear — and he indeed was wise in blanketly opposing Trump. Classic Republican ‘Conservatism’ Is Dead He and his circle perceived that Trump would be radically changing the Republican Party, leaving him and the Mitt Romneys and Koch Brothers without a home. He was right. Classic Republican Party “conservatism,” believing in reduced government interference and free markets, preaches that free-trade agreements are great because they make it cheaper and easier to import foreign-made goods at lower prices. Labor unions and other standard workplace benefits like health care and pensions raise the cost of American goods. By contrast, China and Mexico do not offer those protections, and so they offer cheaper goods. Soon, Americans are buying overseas products, so domestic businesses close. The owners of mega businesses move their manufacturing — and jobs — out of America for the same reason. All the Democrat billionaires in high-tech and Hollywood make their iPhones, computers, chips, and movies overseas. Chinese Nikes. Chinese Apple products. “Hollywood” has become an idiom, not a reality; no one makes movies there. Season 5 of “Fargo” was made in Canada. (READ MORE: Limited Biden Goes Terminal: Prepping a Supreme Court for Republican Feasting) The classic Republican theology was for free trade to ensure cheaper products and greater profits for the ownership class, and open borders to bring in cheap Mexican and Latin American labor to create downward pressure on salaries. “You lower-tier Americans are not happy with your low wages and no benefits? So go take a hike; there are plenty of Mexicans here begging to take your jobs.” Classic Republican conservatism almost destroyed America’s iron and steel industries. Very few appreciated the implications. When World War II erupted, our Allies could not keep up with the demands for armaments to fight the Nazis. They begged us for weapons. We changed our production facilities overnight to a wartime footing. Automobile factories started making tanks instead. Throughout America, we manufactured our own rifles, guns, bullets, tanks, shells, fighter aircraft, and bombs. That took iron and steel. Can you imagine if all our iron and steel manufacturing went to China, as it was doing? When war erupts between us and China, what will we do — beg them for weapons to fight them the way Zelensky begs us for assistance to fight Putin? What will we do — use our iPhones to get on TikTok to watch our country get destroyed? The RNC convention brought home that the GOP has changed. Free Trade Agreements no longer will be pursued blindly to drive out American businesses and jobs. If we have to impose tariffs on China and Europe — as they do on us already — we will do it. The border will be closed and illegal aliens will be deported to protect American workers and their wages. The Republican party has room for “right to work” advocates and for union activists. Blacks and Latinos are welcome because all that matters is a society devoted to honest work, merit, and character. I get it now. For years, I voted for the Fords, Bushes, Doles, McCains, and Romneys because they were the lesser of two evils, but they were not really “my party.” I had no party. By contrast, George Will and the Koch Brothers had a party. Now I see what they feared: I now have a party — a party of Trump, Vance, DeSantis, Cruz, Cotton, Hawley, Pompeo, Huckabee, Peter Navarro, Abbott, Noem, and so many millions who cast votes to elect them. And now the Koch Brothers and George Will, whom I still love to read and hear, no longer have a party of their own. But I will always protect their right to country clubs.

HAVANA, CUBA — Three years ago this month, Cuba erupted in its first widespread anti-government protests in decades, as thousands of Cubans took to the streets to express their frustration with the country’s spiraling economy and deepening political dysfunction. In response, Cuba’s communist dictatorship cut phone and internet service to prevent news of the protests from spreading and deployed state security agents to arrest more than 1,000 protestors, stifling the protests. (READ MORE: Stop Government Censorship) But then something extraordinary happened: Despite the government’s crackdown, the protests continued. Over the last three years, citizens in cities and towns across the island have continued to demonstrate against Cuba’s police state. In March, hundreds of people protested food shortages and power outages in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba’s second-largest city. Cubans Are Becoming Dissatisfied With Their Government It may be hard for Americans to appreciate how unusual these protests are. Anti-government protests are a daily occurrence in America. They are protected by your First Amendment and have been a part of the American tradition since before the Republic was founded. Even government officials sometimes take part in them. However, unauthorized public gatherings are illegal in Cuba and protests are extremely rare. Our unelected, corrupt government officials view every criticism as a threat to their power. I once served three years in prison for flying a Cuban flag upside down to protest Cuba’s lack of freedom. Cuba’s prisons are filled with political prisoners serving long sentences for similar “crimes.” (READ MORE: Former Trump Defense Official Makes the Case for Prioritizing Asia Over Europe) Cubans are so desperate for a better life that hundreds of our young men have been lured to fight for Russia, where they are treated like cannon fodder in Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. Since 2021, more than half a million Cubans have risked their lives to flee to the United States, a mass exodus representing nearly 5 percent of Cuba’s population. Those who stay are no less determined to make a better life for themselves, even if it means risking arrest and imprisonment. Indeed, hundreds of protestors have been imprisoned. Justice 11J, a human rights group, documented that nearly 1,900 people were arrested for taking part in the July 2021 protests. Some 800 were still incarcerated as of April. (Overall, more than 1,000 political prisoners remain behind bars.) Many received years or decades-long sentences for alleged crimes such as “public disorder” or “contempt” — for assembling, banging pots, and chanting anti-regime slogans. Such draconian prison sentences have continued in recent years. Consider the case of Mayelin Rodriguez Prado, a 22-year-old mother who was jailed with 12 others for participating in a protest in the central Cuban town of Nuevitas in August 2022. Prado received a 15-year sentence for posting images of the protest on her Facebook page. Those images included the moment when security agents beat three girls and other acts of state violence. Cuba’s Government Is Cracking Down on Protestors In 2023, Cuba’s national assembly passed a new 141-page criminal code which Amnesty International has described as containing “a suite of chilling provisions that give the authorities even greater powers to continue smothering freedom of expression and assembly in 2023 and beyond.” For example, those found guilty of “public disorder,” “resistance” or “contempt” must serve a minimum penalty of six months to one year in prison, rather than three months under the old criminal code. “Insulting national symbols” now carries a penalty of two to five years in prison, rather than three months to a year, as before. The new code also restricts citizens’ ability to express themselves or share information online. (READ MORE: NATO Reporters Want Biden Out) Most of Cuba’s protestors are not political activists; rather, they are everyday people who simply want access to the necessities of life — food, electricity, basic health care, and the dignity that comes with living a free and self-determined life. Since the 2021 protests, the price of fuel has skyrocketed by 500 percent and food and medicines have become increasingly scarce. That is why the protests have drawn such a wide variety of people, including many women and children. While most of the protestors are not political activists, they understand that the regime’s communist totalitarian policies are at the root of their country’s problems. “We want light!” and “We are hungry!” are commonly heard slogans at the protests. But so are “Freedom!” “Down with the dictatorship!” and “Long live human rights!” It has been said that Cubans are losing their fear of the government, but that is not quite right. Cubans still fear their government, but many are acting with courage that the regime will find hard to extinguish. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is feeling the fear, knowing the risks, and acting anyway. Increasingly, Cubans are summoning the courage necessary to stand up to their oppressors.

Paul Kengor and Grace Reilly release new episodes every Saturday. “Fight, Fight, Fight.” That was the iconic shout of President Donald Trump as he rose, fist raised, from the assassination attempt. It’s a moment that still hasn’t quite sunk in, and will undoubtedly be enshrined in history. The days that followed have showcased courage, resilience, and a change in Trump.

No one knows what Thomas Matthew Crooks thought the moment he pulled the trigger. Perhaps he was thinking that a single bullet would solve all of America’s problems. Or maybe he thought he would be lauded as the savior of democracy on MSNBC and by the New York Times. It seems likely that, as he pulled the trigger, he saw his target turn his head and Crooks knew he had missed. Missed by a millimeter. It’s tempting to say that Crooks’ missed millimeter saved our nation. Without it, the 2024 election would certainly have been a very different thing and the Republican National Convention would have looked like a funeral. (READ MORE: An Armed 20-Year-Old Got Within Range of Trump. How Did That Happen?) At this point, we’re watching one eventuality (the one in which Donald Trump survived) play out before our eyes. We watched this past week as the RNC demonstrated that Republicans are more unified than they’ve been in decades. We saw journalists and Joe Biden recoil and say that we need to “turn down the volume.” Conspiracy theorists among the Democrats have suggested that it might have been staged, and there’s an inkling of a chance that some try to pin the whole thing on Iran. (READ MORE: Toning Down the Dangerous Rhetoric Didn’t Last Long) But what might have happened without that millimeter? This week, I let ChatGPT take a gander. And frankly, I think it underestimated the response that red-blooded Americans would have had: Prompt: What would have happened if Trump had been assassinated? Chat-GPT: If Donald Trump had been assassinated during the attempted attack on July 13, 2024, the consequences would have been significant and multifaceted, affecting the political landscape, national security, and social dynamics in the United States. Here are some potential scenarios and impacts: Political Consequences Immediate Leadership Crisis: The assassination of a former president and active presidential candidate would create a power vacuum within the Republican Party. The party would need to quickly select a new nominee, potentially leading to internal strife and division. Prominent figures like Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley might be considered as replacements. Election Uncertainty: The 2024 presidential election would be thrown into turmoil. Voters’ sentiments could be significantly influenced by the event, potentially leading to increased support for the Republican nominee as a sympathy vote or a backlash against perceived political violence. Impact on Democrats: The Democratic Party would likely call for unity and calm while emphasizing the need to address political extremism and violence. President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders might face pressure to ensure stability and security during the election season. National Security and Law Enforcement Increased Security Measures: The Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies would be under intense scrutiny. There would likely be a significant overhaul of security protocols for all high-profile political figures and events to prevent future attacks. Investigation and Response: A comprehensive investigation would be launched to understand the motives and background of the assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. This could lead to increased focus on domestic terrorism and radicalization within the U.S., with potential legislative actions to address these issues. Social and Cultural Impact Public Reaction: The assassination would likely lead to widespread mourning and national grief, particularly among Trump’s supporters. Vigils, protests, and potentially even civil unrest could occur as people react to the shocking event. Media and Public Discourse: The media would extensively cover the assassination, focusing on its implications for democracy, political discourse, and violence in America. There might be calls for a reduction in incendiary rhetoric from both sides of the political spectrum. Long-Term Consequences Legacy and Historical Impact: Trump’s assassination would become a pivotal moment in American history, shaping his legacy and potentially influencing how future political leaders conduct their campaigns and rhetoric. Policy Changes: In response to the assassination, there might be new policies aimed at reducing political violence, such as stricter gun control measures, enhanced protection for political figures, and initiatives to combat domestic extremism. Conclusion The assassination of Donald Trump would have profound and far-reaching consequences, altering the political landscape, prompting significant national security responses, and impacting American society at multiple levels. The aftermath would likely involve a mix of immediate reactions and long-term changes aimed at preventing such tragedies in the future. ChatGPT’s response is, quite frankly, a bit bland. First, a good number of these predictions — the impact on voters, placing the Secret Service and law enforcement under “intense scrutiny,” “calls for a reduction in incendiary rhetoric,” and “stricter gun control measures” — are already happening. Second, ChatGPT has a talent for understating the obvious. Take, for instance, this prediction: “Vigils, protests, and potentially even civil unrest could occur as people react to the shocking event.” (READ more from this column: Here’s How Biden Stays in the Race) That might just be the understatement of the year. As a general rule, people do not simply turn the other cheek in the face of political violence. In fact, it’s safe to say that political violence tends to beget political violence — and that is especially true when we are dealing with popular and well-beloved national figures. That leads us to the real point of this column: The comments section. What do you think might have happened if Donald Trump hadn’t turned his head last week and Crooks hadn’t missed? What would have changed about American politics and how would that have impacted the direction our country chose to go in November? This is a weekly column at The American Spectator dedicated to exposing the left-wing bent of generative AI machines.
