Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Oh wait! A disinformation campaign against Ron DeSantis? I'm shocked. Did they forget that for the last 7 years their has been a disinformation campaign against Donald Trump?
Not only disinformation, there seems to be rising fraction that sounds exactly like the Never Trumpers. They’ve been labeled the Only Trumpers. I see them on the threads at Instapundit. Any thread that praises DeSantis, there they are spewing word of how DeSantis is a GOPe. Perfect is the enemy of good.
I like DeSantis. I am very concerned about those who support DeSantis for president. The same elite one worlders who support Biden and the Democrats. These people do not put America first. There is really only one candidate who puts America and Americans first. He is a threat to a multi-trillion dollar scam and the elite and one world people fear that he would destroy their ongoing grift. DeSantis would tout the conservative line but would not shake things up. It would four years of cheering what he says and getting a few crumbs while we still give away the country. The Democrats intend to create "citizens" out of everyone of these replacement voters they are bringing in to our country and if DeSantis were elected they will still do it. The ONY chance that we might send these people home is if Trump is elected. Some 7 million or more replacement Democrats already, ten million by 2024.
I went searching for the money behind DeSantis. You’re right, that is something to be considered. I’m not quite sold on the idea that DeSantis is a sellout. If the, I’m not a commie, but I support everything communist troll is linking anti DeSantis stuff, then that is a huge plus in DeSantis’s favor.
I’m not convinced that Trump has learned anything about how to fight the swamp. He’s very good at name calling, but his first two years were good, though he had made so many enemies on the squishy right, that he didn’t get as much accomplished as he could have. He still has those enemies and he is certainly not a fiscal conservative. I don't think DeSantis is a "sell out" but he is a politician who has to offer his donors something. If DeSantis wins this fair and square I will be happy.
Trump pissed off a lot of people, all the people who any politician would piss off. Good! If he wins I hope he does it again in spades. I often wonder if in the waning days of Rome if the citizens were complacent and voted for what they got or if they feared for the future and knew what was coming. I think we are at that point. Can't see it too plainly because it is in everyone's interest to hide it. But it's there to see if you are open to actually looking at what our leaders are doing "to" us instead of "for" us. I single microcosmic view of everything that is wrong in America: Charities have been paying for unused hotel rooms in NYC to help homeless vets. They got a deal, around $100 more or less. The federal government brought in millions of illegals and gives them smart phones, money, food AND they offer the hotels $200 a night (with your money) to house them. The hotels kick out the $100 a night homeless vets in favor of the taxpayer funded illegal aliens. And the government did all this with full knowledge and understanding of the result. THAT is terrible! One of the worst things our government has ever done to it's citizens. THAT is beyond disgusting. And the MSM doesn't bat an eye and even hides it. Can the Huns, Vandals and Goths be far behind? Which of those are the illegals from Africa and China???

They’re Conditioning Americans to Hate White People
QUOTE: Under the guise of good social medicine, liberals and leftists have poisoned the culture with the colossal lie that “whiteness” is the culprit behind a “400-year pandemic of foundational racism” that’s keeping America sick. It’s being perpetrated by whites through “antiquated systems of oppression.” . . . With the most dehumanizing epithets against white people, they’re pushing anti-white government policies, anti-white media portrayals, anti-white corporate decision-making, anti-white curriculums in schools, and an anti-white oppression narrative onto the judicial systems. . . . But what is new – and extremely dangerous – is a ruthlessly corrupt administration, wielding the immense machinery of American power, to demolish fundamental institutions by demonizing white people, while daring anyone – black or white – to disagree. Never in my lifetime have so many institutions conspired, all at once, to slop twisted narratives onto imaginary issues to force free Americans into orgies of unwanted political intercourse against their deepest convictions. “If you don’t like what we’re doing, too bad,” they spit. “You’re going to lay there and take it, or else.” This is not politics. This is not a revolution. This is political rape. https://townhall.com/columnists/willalexander/2023/05/29/theyre-conditioning-americans-to-hate-white-people-n2623801 Democratic senator expresses fear that GOP lacks votes to pass debt limit deal
QUOTE: Already, a handful of congressional Republicans have signaled opposition to the measure, contending that the party didn't get enough of what it wanted, particularly in terms of spending rollbacks. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate/democrat-murphy-warns-gop-may-lack-debt-limit-votes QUOTE: Fake conservatives agree to fake spending cuts. Deal will increase mandatory spending ~5%, increase military spending ~3%, and maintain current non-military discretionary spending at post-COVID levels. No real cuts to see here. Conservatives have been sold out once again! https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/1662837549990068225 Jan. 6 protesters raked in thousands of donation dollars, DOJ is now coming for their funds
QUOTE: In a move that is part of a rising government effort to stop what they call “dissidents” from being able to directly profit from taking part in major protesting events, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is now working towards getting Goodwyn to forfeit more than $25,000 of the money that he raised. According to an examination of court documents by the Associated Press, in more than 1,000 criminal cases dating back to January 6th, 2021, prosecutors are increasingly seeking judges to impose fines in addition to prison terms to make up for donations from supporters of the U.S. Capitol protesters. https://www.oann.com/newsroom/jan-6-protesters-raked-in-thousands-of-donation-dollars-doj-is-now-coming-for-their-funds/ This is the stuff of movies.
