Beirut used to be called
the Paris of the Middle East with a majority Christian population. Now,
it's a bombed out hulk, thanks mostly due to scumbag Islamists (who
ruin everything)
Beirut: From Paris of the Middle East to Tragic Capital
Beirut,
once the Paris of the Middle East, flourished with art, fashion, and
nightlife, only to be repeatedly battered by continuous conflict, most
recently Israel’s armed clashes with Muslim Hezbollah. The ongoing
violence is devastating a city that has long struggled to survive and
reclaim its lost glory. (Thanks Iran.)

Lebanon
has again become a war zone. Israel struck Lebanon’s capital, Beirut,
claiming to have targeted a “senior Hezbollah commanders” and another
member of the group. Earlier in March, Lebanon had been pounded by
Israel after the Iran-backed proxy group Hezbollah fired rockets,
following a US-Israel strike on Iran. The conflict has caused massive
destruction and displaced millions of people.
Amidst this, cities long celebrated for their cultural heritage have been dealt a devastating blow. Beirut, the Lebanese capital, was once called the “Paris of the Middle East.” It is now in the throes of devastation and is being referred to as the “Tragic Capital”.
[Doug
here: It’s been in consistent decline for decades now; thanks to the
accommodation of Muslims in government and the resulting persecution and
attacks of Christians by Muslims leading to their mass exodus from the
country. 100’s of thousands of Lebanese Christians fled to escape their
new hell-hole.
In plain English, this is yet
another historic example of Islamic conquest. And the results of this
Islamic conquest is the same for ALL the other Islamic conquests:
devastation, death and misery inflicted by this ‘death cult.’]
Beirut
is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
Perhaps there are few cities that have been destroyed and rebuilt as
often as Beirut. The war has taken its toll on the metropolis, located
on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, destroying much of its heritage
and architecture.

Between
1955 and 1975, Beirut witnessed its golden age. It was a cosmopolitan
city known for its vibrant culture, French architecture, Lebanese
cuisine, fashion, art, and lifestyle. “Hamra Street was likened to the
Champs-Élysées of Beirut, lined with fashion stores, theatres,
restaurants, cafes, and hotels visited by artists, poets, writers, and
intellectuals. There were more than a dozen cinemas on Hamra Street
alone, including the famous Eldorado, the Piccadilly, and the
Versailles, cementing Beirut’s title as the cinema capital of the
region,” wrote Georgina Noack for The Nightly.
During
its golden age, Beirut became a thriving fashion capital of the Middle
East. Designers and tailors from the city gained international acclaim,
as they brought together traditional Lebanese embroidery with European
haute couture. They were coveted by celebrities. Hamra Street and
surrounding districts were lined with chic boutiques, fashion houses,
and ateliers where locals and visitors alike came to see the latest
trends. It was during the civil war, that Elie Saab founded his
eponymous label in 1982, specialising in wedding wear. Zuhair Murad
opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1995. His designs are a tribute to
the Lebanese capital, that often reflect a hint of ancient and modern
at the same time. Beirut’s reputation for style and elegance became as
much a part of its identity as its cafés, cinemas, and art galleries.

But
the 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990 was a brutal period for the
city, from which it has never fully recovered [Doug here: a sectarian
war between Christians and Muslims].
Beirut has also been home to
the historic Saint-Georges Hotel, a symbol of resistance. Founded in
1932 in Saint George Bay, Ain Mreisseh, it was a destination for the
rich and famous, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. The hotel was severely damaged
during the Lebanese Civil War’s “War of the Hotels” and was later
occupied by militias and Syrian troops. In 2005, the Hariri
assassination blast inflicted further wounds on the city.

In
2020, the Beirut port explosion killed more than 200 people and left
thousands injured and homeless. According to UNESCO, “The two port
explosions damaged some 640 heritage buildings, 60 of which were
critically deteriorated.” These included the Boustany House, built in
1880, and the Tobbagi House, built in 1908, both located on Mar Mikhael
Street.
Lebanon’s once-booming nightlife has also taken a
heavy toll. Just last year, Israel bombed Lebanon for months, resulting
in thousands of deaths. “In the area around Fizz, some of Beirut’s most
famous nightclubs were converted into displacement shelters for those
fleeing the violence,” wrote Madeline Edwards for Condé Nast Traveller.
Beirut
deserves to regain the glory it has long struggled to retain and should
not be allowed to die. The world must pause and ask itself whether our
cities deserve such destruction, and whether the people who give them
life deserve such loss.
The Reform Party, headed by Nigel Farage, absolutely obliterated the insane Labor Party and it’s brain-dead and despicable Prime Minister Starmer. Labor lost about 60% of it’s nationwide council seats AND the Conservatives lost about 40% of it’s nationwide seats.
The Greens also gained significant seats but Reform’s performance stood out.
To put this in perspective, and comparing this election to one in the US, you
could say that Nigel Farage’s Reform victory would be the equivalent of
a new upstart political party completely thrashing BOTH the Democrats
AND Republicans in one giant, historic upheaval.
So,
have you heard about this political crisis in the UK?? No? Most
haven’t. And the idiot simp Starmer is refusing to resign!! Someone
might have to put a bullet in his empty head.
This is the worst
election collapse since 1931 in the UK. A true earthquake, a 9 on the
Richter Scale; a catastrophe that is being “ratioed” and censored by the
Deep State.
My suspicion is that coverage of this earthquake has
been censored across the world by the Deep State because of the level of
anger and desperation of the British people. Allowing unfettered
coverage would be too similar and reminiscent to another political
earthquake shaking the world; ie., Donald Trump. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!!
Obviously
Nigel and Donald are very similar common sense populists/nationalist
who want to put the interests of their respective populations and
civilizations at the forefront—as they should!
This election
beat-down is due to the relentless destruction of that country. The UK
is a complete shitshow. It’s a shitshow that’s comparable to the
insanity reigning in the US prior to Trump’s big victory.
Starmer=Biden. Both are/were braindead. Farage is far too similar to
Trump (and WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!)
I did a search on Duck Duck Go for
this 2026 election result but found this search result instead:
highlighting an eerily similar election collapse in the UK in 1931. From
Wikipedia:
The collapse of the British election refers to the 1931 United Kingdom general election, where the Labour Party suffered its greatest defeat,
losing four-fifths of its seats, while the National Government
coalition won 67% of the popular vote. This election was a response to
the economic crises of the Great Depression and marked a significant
shift in British politics.
You can rightly say that
Britain is in a crisis similar to the Great Depression as indicated just
above. That’s a true sign of our times.
OF COURSE THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO HIDE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COLLAPSE THAT IT HAS CAUSED!!!
Trump is Selectively Disconnecting the US from the EU and NATO
Trump
is distancing the US from these insane EU countries and in the non-EU
UK. And he’s strengthened ties to Hungary, Poland, for example
The
collection of Western national “leaders” in The West is stunningly
appalling: crazy, brain-dead globalists Mark Carney (Canada), Kier
Starmer (UK), Van der Leyen (EU), the idiot Friedrich Merz (Germany)
and Macron (FR). And all these people and the US Democrats are
criminals, scammers and utter disgrace. The good leaders are Christian
Nationalists like Orban (now Péter Magyar) in Hungary and Karol Nawrocki
in Poland who reflect their conservative majority.
Trump is
putting many of these “allies” into a 2nd class category. Those that
reject Western Culture are out. Those that support it are ‘favored’.
Again, it’s all code words for restoring White Western Civilization.
Trump is indeed pulling-out 5000 troops from Germany and is considering
pulling troops from Spain, Italy, Germany (and UK?):
JAPAN Elects a Trump-like Prime Minister. Now China is Firmly in Trump’s Cross-hairs
Japan
has elected a solid, principled Conservative prime minister, Sanae
Takaichi, in a landslide vote. She is similar to Trump in her bold
policy stances; which includes support for a new strong and muscular defense to counter-balance China and N.Korea. In short, Japan is basically re-arming.
She is stiffening immigration controls to exclude more non-Asian and
non-Japanese. She is a staunch defender of Japanese culture—as she
should.
Takaichi has immediately joined the US in challenging China’s ridiculous territorial claims to the Entire South China Sea. She’s sailed Navy destroyers in waters close to China/Taiwan. Here is a map of their claims that CAN NOT STAND and WILL NOT STAND (red dashed line):
Most
of the world operates within the UNCLOS agreement which gives each
sea-facing country the right to exploit sea waters out to 200 miles for
their own exclusive economic use. It is the basis
for every offshore drilling leasing programs for nearly every country in
the world including the US. It allows for exclusive rights to mine,
drill for oil/gas or to fish or farm in their blocks. Only China has
made ridiculous claims that contradict the UNCLOS. China
even brought their case to the UN Court in Brussels and lost their case
(as they should). But that hasn’t stopped their non-stop harassment of
ALL their neighbors.
Also, China’s claims to “ownership” of Taiwan is very spurious. See my post Does Modern China Really Have any Valid Claim on Taiwan? No, Not Really. It’s just another territorial land grab to ‘digest’ and steal
their technology and their super-high tech industry—similar to their
takeover of Hong Kong. This is why Communists are historically
expansionary. They fail to innovate due to central planning and must
“conquer” thriving economic areas (like Hong Kong and Taiwan) to bolster
their failures.
Basically communism is DESTRUCTIVE and
PARASITIC. This is why Communists always push for territorial
expansion. It’s the same for Leftists of ANY type.
LEFTISTS ARE SHIT!
Leftist/Communist
governments can’t produce real prosperity for long. China did, but it
was the ‘free’ capitalistic-side of their economy that produced all the
economic gains after Deng Xiaoping. The State-owned enterprises just
destroy money. It worked for decades. But now with Trump’s tariff
regime, extremes of China’s debt and their demographic slowdown, their
economy has cooled markedly—thus the need to inject fresh blood, ie.,
like seizing Taiwan. They are VAMPIRES.
All Leftists are vampires and do nothing but destroy.
Trump’s
tariffs and his attack on Iran’s Islamic ‘thugocracies,’ including the
Hamas, Hezbollah and Hamas THUGS are also designed to exacerbating
China’s ongoing collapse. China’s overland “Belt and Road” initiative
has been just another costly exercise in “central planning-run-amok” by
the regime. The terminus of their “belt and road” is Iran and it’s
highly likely that the US has bombed roads and rail lines to/from China.
China has generally courted Iran’s dirty regime for decades but now is
forced to basically ‘sit-out’ the US military action there. The US now
effectively controls China’s oil supply.
LATIN AMERICA Embracing Trumpian Conservatism
Conservativism
is on the rise in Latin America, especially due to the leadership and
success of President Trump but also Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele from
Argentina and El Salvador, respectively. From Bing: Latin America has
experienced a profound shift toward conservative leadership, with
several countries now governed by right-leaning presidents. Here are key
Conservative leaders and their countries
Argentina:
Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian, won the 2023 presidential
election and has strengthened his party’s position in Congress through
midterm elections, emphasizing economic liberalization and security
policies.
Chile: José
Antonio Kast, a far-right politician, was elected president in 2025 with
a record vote total, marking the sharpest rightward turn since the
Pinochet era.
Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz, a center-right politician, won the 2025 presidential runoff, ending decades of leftist dominance by the MAS party.
Ecuador:
Daniel Noboa, a center-right businessman, defeated leftist Luisa
González in 2024, continuing the trend of conservative governance.
Honduras:
Nasry Asfura, a conservative candidate, narrowly won the presidency,
focusing on fiscal discipline and infrastructure investment.
Panama: José Raúl Mulino, a right-wing politician, defeated the incumbent center-left vice president in 2024.
El Salvador: Nayib Bukele, re-elected in 2024, is considered a prominent conservative leader with a focus on security and economic reforms.
Paraguay:
The Colorado Party, a historically dominant right-wing party, continues
to influence national politics, despite occasional leftist victories.
Dominican Republic: Luis Abinader, a center-right president, has maintained conservative policies since his election.
Costa Rica:
Laura Fernandez Delgado, of the conservative Sovereign People’s Party,
won the 2026 presidential election, emphasizing crime-fighting and
continuity of conservative governance.
Trump Removes the Commie Maduro Regime and Oil is Suddenly Flowing Again—to the US
The
Communist regime in Venezuela of Nicholas Maduro was decapitated and a
pragmatic leader has been installed and/or emerged there. Naturally, she
is allied with the US and the renewal of Venezuela oil and gas
production has commenced now that US oil/gas stakeholders have access to
their assets again. For example, I hear that Chevron is once again
importing and refining some 250,000 barrels of oil per day into US Gulf
coast refineries (refineries built for VZ heavy oil).
Cuba is next
The
communist disaster of Cuba is literally falling apart; everything is
failing: the electric grid is not functioning as free oil from
“Communist” Venezuela is finished given that Maduro has been removed.
It’s only a matter of time.
There is a severe humanitarian crisis
there. People are starving. There is zero money —except for the select
elites. Cuba has been run by a type of Mafia. Trump is hinting that he’s
going to “takeover” Cuba soon.
Leftism is a disaster wherever it’s found.
Canada is Literally Falling Apart; Alberta Appears Ready to Join/Align with Trumpian America. Next is Saskatchewan.
The
vastly incompetent/brainwashed Globalist boot-licking “leadership” of
Mark Carney in Canada, like the EU, is incredibly bad and intentionally
destructive. Carney is the worst!
Where do they find these people?
Now
western provinces are being led to secession by Alberta. They have a
referendum to approve a secession vote this fall. If Alberta leaves
Canada, then Saskatchewan could easily be next. Could others secede?
Might Carney get “Starmered”?
Trump has already made agreements
to increase oil/gas pipeline flows from Alberta energy after a split.
Delegates from Alberta remain in touch with the Trump White House.
There is a natural conservative and cultural alignment between many
western Canadian provinces and the US.
Trump Exposes and Conquers the Insane US Democrats
Trump’s
most important domestic feat has been to antagonize, disrupt, expose
the insane US Democrat party as an entirely criminal enterprise of
cheaters, liars, fools and insane people! It’s been remarkable to watch
Democrat’s emotional and intellectual implosion into Trump hatred (TDS).
It’s gotten to the point that if Trump invented the cure for cancer,
that the Democrats would declare that they love and support cancer!
Their emotional, knee-jerk anti-Trumpism has put their entire party in
the losing side of an 80/20 issues that most matter to voters. We’re
witnessing their emotional, brain-dead implosion into insanity.
Trump’s Battle Against Islam; the Giant, Historical Enemy of Modern Civilization
Trump,
in his first term, began the re-organization the entire Middle East
with the “Abraham Accords” which began to normalize the entire Middle
East (ex-Iran and it’s proxies) into a peace and cooperation agreement
with Israel and includes the UAE, and even potentially Saudi Arabia.
It’s probably going to expand. Here’s the summary from Bing:
The Abraham Accords were signed on September 15, 2020, in Washington, D.C., under the mediation of the United States during President Donald Trump’s administration, marking the first formal recognition of Israel by Arab states since Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979. The initial signatories were Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, followed by Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan in subsequent years. The accords were named after Abraham, symbolizing the shared heritage of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity
The
Abraham Accords is uniting many of the reform-minded Sunnis in the
Middle East with Israel and the US into a convention of modernity,
prosperity and peace.
Where’s Trump’s Nobel prize?? All he gets is hate and derision.
With
our ongoing conflict with Iran and it’s evil partners; ie, Houthis,
Hamas, Hezbollah and China, we’re witnessing yet another battle in the
war for Western Civilization; a war dating back to 700 AD.
I’m
talking about Trump’s war against the worst of the worst Islamists: the
antediluvian Shiite Muslims in Iran and ALL of their proxies. We’re
talking about the remaining medieval nightmare of Shia Islamists from
Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran --all “head-choppers” and “goat
fuckers” with guns --backed by China---who are enemies of civilization and modernity. They are all worshippers in a brutal, thuggish DEATH cult.
The Abraham accord countries are mostly Sunnis that are shown below in the dark colored majority Sunni countries:
Most Sunni Muslim countries now aligned with the US and Israel under the Abraham Accords
Ask
the Iranian refugees in The West what they think about this dethroning
of the mostly-Shiite Muslim evil in their country or even in the Middle
East? Oh wait, you don’t have to! The Iranian diaspora are all for
Trump and openly cheering him on here and there!
Spain and Europe Insanely Welcoming Their Historical Enemy Back into their Countries
Spain
(and the entire EU idiocracy) are the latest examples of historical
ignorance--with their insane importion of their historical enemy, ie.,
Muslims, and allowing them back into Europe en masse. It’s as if they
are intentionally trying to destroy Spain and Europe.. They are giving
their historical enemy welcome mats! It’s a true culture war!! Don’t
these Leftists ever read the history of Islamic war and occupation??
Europe
is embracing a 2nd Islamic invasion and occupation by this same
regressive force of evil that invaded and occupied them in the 7th
century AD. They basically destroyed ALL of Christendom, who then held
on until 1492; and really until 2025 in some places. Maybe Christianity
is the current target for destruction in The West?
The war against
ancient and un-reformed Islam rages. It’s a war for principled and
prosperous modern civilization. Similarly we’re in a war against
Communism and Leftism, the other historical nightmares failing miserably
in Cuba, Venezuela, China and everywhere else. These are the last
remnants of failed thinking. Could it be possible that, soon, we might
be seeing the set-up for many decades of world peace/prosperity once the
culture wars are finished---not unlike the period after WWII?
If so, we’ll have to give a good deal of credit to our Grey Champion in this Fourth Turning crisis: Mr. Trump.
DeSantis pointed out that New York City, with roughly 8 million residents, operates a budget larger than Florida’s. But get this: Florida has a massive 23.7 million residents or almost 3 times NYC’s population.
But Communist Mam-dummy, never will have enough money. He’s crying for more! It’s ridiculous.
DeSantis
said “New York City with 8 million people has a larger budget than the
entire state of Florida and yet our infrastructure is better, our roads
are better, services are better.”
Florida’s 2025–26 fiscal budget is just $1.5 billion or slightly larger than New York City’s. But
New York City has three times fewer residents than Florida — 8.48
million versus 23.3 million — its per-capita spending far outpaces that
of the Sunshine State’s.
The Sunshine State’s current
spending plan totals $117.4 billion, compared with New York’s $115.9
billion — a difference of 1.3%.
This is an excerpt of his full speech given on April 15, 2026 at the University of Texas that is found here.
“…….Since Wilson's presidency, progressivism has made many inroads into our system of government and our way of life. It has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration. Because it is opposed to those principles, it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.
Progressivism was not native to America. Wilson and the progressives candidly admitted that they took it from Otto von Bismarck's Germany, whose state-centric society they admired. Progressives like Wilson argued that America needed to leave behind the principles of the founding and catch up with the more advanced and sophisticated system of relatively unimpeded state power, nearly perfected.
He acknowledged that it was a foreign science speaking very little of the language of English or American principle, which offers none but what are, to our minds, alien ideas. He thus described America still stuck with its original system of government as, quote, slow to see the superiority of the European system. Progressivism was the first mainstream American political movement, with the possible exception of the pro-slavery reactionaries on the eve of the Civil War, quote, to openly oppose the principles of the Declaration.
Progressives strove to undo the Declaration's commitment to equality and natural rights, both of which they denied were self-evident. To Wilson, the unalienable rights of the individual were, quote, a lot of nonsense. Wilson redefined liberty, not as a natural right attendant and assedent to the government, but as, quote, the right of those who are governed to adjust government to their own needs and interests.
In other words, liberty no longer preceded the government as a gift from God, but was to be enjoyed at the grace of the government. The government, as Wilson reconceived it, would be, quote, beneficent and indispensable. Progressives such as John Dewey attacked the Framers for believing that their ideas were immutable truth, good for all times and places, when instead they were, according to him, historically conditioned and relevant only in their own time.
Now Dewey and the progressives argued those ideas are to be displaced. Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God but from government.
It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights. You will not be surprised to learn that the progressives had a great deal of contempt for us, the American people. Before he entered politics, Wilson would describe the American people as, quote, selfish, ignorant, timid, stubborn, and foolish.
He lamented that we do too much by vote and too little by expert rule. He proposed that the people be ruled by administrators who use them as tools. He once again aspired to be like Germany, where the people, he said admiringly, were docile and acquiescent.
The century of progressivism did not go well. The European system that Wilson and the progressives scolded Americans for not adopting, which he called nearly perfect, led to the governments that caused the most awful century that the world has ever seen. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao all were intertwined with the rise of progressivism and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our declaration are based.
Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people. It was a terrible mistake to adopt progressivism's rejection of the declaration's vision of universal, unalienable natural rights. Wilson's claim that natural rights must give way to historical progress could justify the greatest mistake in our history.
In Plessy v. Ferguson, my court upheld Louisiana's system of racial segregation because, quote, separate but equal, it observed, was reasonable in light of the established usages, customs, and traditions of the people and with a view to the promotion of their comfort and the preservation of the public peace and good order. It comes as no surprise that the progressives embraced eugenics.
Progressives believed that Darwinian science, the idea of ever-advancing progress written into biology itself, had proven the inherent superiority and inferiority of the races. It was only a small step for Wilson to resegregate the federal workforce. It was only another step for the government to launch sterilization programs on those deemed by the experts of the day to be unfit to reproduce, upheld by my court in Buck v.
Bell in an opinion written by no less a figure than Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. We can argue over whether you believe in immutable, absolute natural rights or the Wilsonian idea of ever-progressing history. Indeed, your school of civic leadership was created to host just such arguments, but let me ask you to consider the consequences.
European thinkers have long criticized America for remaining trapped in a Lockean world with its weak, decentralized government and strong individual rights. They say our 18th century declaration has prevented us from progressing to higher forms of government, but we were fortunate not to trade our Lockean bonds for the supposedly enlightened world of Hegel, Marx, and their followers. Fascism, which after all was National Socialism, triggered wars in Europe and Asia that killed tens of millions.
The socialism of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China proceeded to kill more tens of millions of their own people. This is what happens when natural rights give way to the higher good of notions of history, progress, or as Thomas Sowell has written, the visions of the anointed. None of this, of course, was an improvement on the principles of the declaration.
Tocqueville's Democracy in America is largely about how America owed its superiority over Europe to its conscious decision to reject central planning and administrative rule, root and branch. Progressivism, in other words, is retrogressive. As Calvin Coolidge said on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration, and I quote, if all men are created equal, that is final.
If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the government, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which they can proceed historically is not forward but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of individuals, no rule of the people. When Abraham Lincoln addressed the assembled crowd at Gettysburg, they had gathered to memorialize the past, but Lincoln's address urged them to not do so with complacency. Instead, Lincoln said, they should look to the past as inspiration to take them to greater heights in the future, and I quote, it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we were highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
As we are gathered to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration, it may be tempting to do so as if we are passive spectators. It may be tempting to enjoy our tea and crumpets, treat the Declaration like a shiny object or a keepsake, and listen to the sound of our own voices. We could get into debates over whose conception of the founding is better, over how we are so much better than our founders were, over what we would do differently.
We could be careful to not do anything that exposes us to criticism, costs us friends, or hurts our career prospects. But in my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration had, so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs. Each of you will have opportunities to be courageous every day, whether your calling in life is as a day laborer, a stay-at-home mom, a small business owner, an educator, an office worker, a judge, or some other endeavor.
It may mean speaking up in class tomorrow when someone around you expects you to live by lies. It may mean confronting today's fashionable bigotries, such as anti-Semitism. It may mean standing up for your religion when it is mocked and disparaged by a professor.
It may mean not budging on your principles when it will entail losing friends or being ostracized. It may mean running for your school board when you see that they are teaching your children to hate your values and our country. It may mean turning down a job offer that requires you to make moral or ethical compromises.
One thing I do know to be true. It will mean waking up every day with the resolve to withstand unfair criticism and attacks. These are the choices that we will confront, that will confront you, and you must decide whether to respond with timidity or with courage, as the signers of the Declaration did.
It will, of course, not be easy. It never is. But if, like me, you need a greater source of strength than yourselves, you will need to rely on your faith to guide and to sustain you through it all.
You will disappoint people you thought were friends and endure personal attacks, as well as attacks on those you care about. But if you stand, you will find that courage, like cowardice, can be habit-forming, and it will become a part of your life and a part of who you are. And I may dare say it is liberating.
You will also be a living example for others to emulate. So by all means, celebrate the Declaration of Independence. It is the most important act of American history, the foundation of our Constitution, and, as Lincoln said, the sheet anchor of our republic.
But I implore you to celebrate it by standing up for it, by defending it, and by recommitting yourselves to living up to its ideals. Channel the courage of the men who faced down a king and signed it. Or a president who led the nation in a civil war, rather than permit this house to be divided by the great contradiction of slavery.
Take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure. And, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, let us mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Thank you, and may God continue to bless our country.”
Is there any propaganda from the Democrats that aren’t lies, hoaxes/
fabrications or insults against Republicans; especially White persons??
Nope. We’ve found out more on the obvious “Charlottesville Hate hoax”
—which, to many/most Trump supporters, was yet another entirely
manufactured “psy-op” to defame Trump and his supporters.
Then
every Democrat is the country lied about Trump saying Nazi’s were “very
fine people,” when he actually totally disavowed them. Every Democrat
continued that lie for YEARS knowing it was FALSE. It was the similar
psyop as the J6 “insurrection,” the Trayvon Martin lies, etc.
Here’s information from Redstate about the conspiracy and staged Charlotteville hoax:
“On Tuesday, the Trump DOJ dropped a bombshell: an 11-count federal indictment
charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for
secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual
extremists.
Among those nefarious payments was a staggering
$270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group
that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. That
paid insider attended the event at the SPLC’s direction, helped
coordinate transportation for attendees, and even made racist postings
under the group’s supervision.
That rally, of course, led to the wholly media-manufactured “fine people” hoax.
Acting
Attorney General Todd Blanche explained how the law center funded hate
groups, which allowed them to feign fighting said hate groups.
“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” he said in a press release.
“Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go
unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other
fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook
accountable. No entity is above the law.”
While the
self-styled anti-hate warriors publicly denounced the very groups they
were paying, they turned around and used those same activities to
generate the fear porn that kept the donation spigot wide open.
Yes,
the crazy/stoopid Leftist nigga lawyers at SPLC have been caught
spending $millions to these truly despicable organizations to gin-up
phony hate:
Ku Klux Klan (how would one find a member? Maybe they number 1 or 2,000 in the entire country.
American Nazi Party
Aryan Nation
United Klans of America
Unite the Right
National Alliance

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence," he said in a press release.
“Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go
unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other
fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook
accountable. No entity is above the law.”
Acting AG
Todd Blanche: “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its own
existence. Using donor money to line the pockets of Klansmen and profit
off hate cannot go unchecked.” "This is straight-up
betrayal: the organization that built its brand “fighting hate” was
allegedly funding it, stoking it, and cashing in on it."
White
persons in this country have been under media lies/falsehoods/hoaxes
for at least a decade by Democrats who perpetuate slanders, libel,
falsehoods and hoaxes to denigrate and/or degrade White person’s and
Republican’s reputations.
There is an ongoing effort to
disparage White Persons as horrible people and it’s sometimes being done
by other self-hating White people. But most hate crime hoaxes are
perpetrated by US Blacks.
In fact, there’s so much demand
for “evidence” that slander and demean white citizens with “hate
crimes,” that fake hate crimes and hoaxes must be invented to fill the
demand! The big problem is that white persons rarely
misbehave as much as the black and/or Democrat accusers! Blacks
dominate crime, >50%, in America despite being only 13% of the
population.
Why? BECAUSE WHITE PERSONS AND TRUMP SUPPORTER MUST BE SLANDERED AND LIED ABOUT!
At
first these stories get a lot of traction with the disgusting media
outlets, then sometimes the facts emerge YEARS LATER to indicate that
it's Black or Leftists persons that are the ones full of shit, lies AND
hate. Only rarely does the "Media" correct the record.
There's
such a frenzy to cast White people as "haters" that there are websites
that attempt catalog the very large number of Fake white hate crimes.
Many,
if not all, of the hate hoaxes continue to be centered on slandering
Donald Trump and his supporters (ie., generatlly the best people in this
nation). After all, the entire Democrat Party called
Trump and ALL of his supporters every name in the book! And of course,
usually black Democrats just pile-on to continue a long and disgusting
history of black victimhood. Dennis Prager did an article which I
repeated at this blog If America Is So Racist, Why All the Race Hoaxes (Perp'd by Blacks/Idiots and leftis)??
Additionally, and perhaps the grand daddy of White Hate Hoaxes is the Kamloops: Greatest Hate Hoax Ever? from Jared Taylor at American Rennaissance included here:
Kamloops: The most absurd Hate Hoax Ever?
Leftists
and Communists in Canada, including the despicable Justin Trudeau,
alleged that 215 indigenous students were butchered and buried in a mass
grave at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, a school run by the
Order of Mary Immaculate, in British Columbia where the school operated
from 1890 to 1978.
The
worldwide assumption was that horrible, vicious nuns had either killed
these children or let them die and covered the whole thing up. [Oh,
those WHITE, CHRISTIAN nuns!! They forced those kids to learn reading,
writing in ENGLISH and taught math, which we now know is raycissss! The
horror!] Of course we should assume that they are mass murderers, right?
A
young academic (of course an academic!! Always and “academic!” At
graduate schools, also known now as "indoctrination centers," any/every
kind of nonsense or lie is supported by absurd and/or brainwashed
students and their idiot "professors") said that she documented a mass grave of indian students. From Dorchester Review,
"the
student, Sarah Beaulieu, used ground-penetrating radar in a search for
the remains of children alleged by some to be buried there. She is a
young anthropologist, an instructor in Anthropology and Sociology at the
University of the Fraser Valley since 2018. Her preliminary report is
actually based on depressions and abnormalities in the soil of an apple
orchard near the school – not on exhumed remains."
Some
of her "scans" might have been tree roots---not human remains. No human
remains have ever been documented at all. But based on this hate
"evidence" an amazing series of agonized self-flagellations ensued (from
the AmRen article):
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau grieved
over the “dark and shameful chapter” in Canadian history and ordered
all national flags be flown at half-mast.
The flag over parliament in Ottawa stayed lowered for five months.
Mr. Trudeau demanded that the Pope come to Canada. Of course Pope Francis piled-on.
That figure — so precise — of 215 dead children caught the imagination. The Vancouver Art Gallery laid out 215 pairs of children’s shoes as a memorial.
Similar collections appeared on the steps of churches and legislatures.
Canada
Day was celebrated on July first, just one month after the discovery.
The country was still in convulsions, so there was a movement to cancel
Canada Day and “wear orange for our children” instead.
"Fashion" magazine took a break from “style, beauty & grooming, and wellness” to explain that wearing orange “symbolizes solidarity with Indigenous communities who are currently grieving the loss of their children.”
Canada
Day celebrations were scrubbed all over the country and the government
website for the national holiday emphasized “the pain and shame of
darker episodes of our history, the repercussions of which are still
felt today.”
Instead of the usual festivities, some people paraded sentiments such as “No pride in genocide.”
The government went all out and proclaimed a brand-new national holiday.
Now
and forever more, the nation will celebrate Canada’s National Day for
Truth and Reconciliation. It will be “an opportunity to honor the lost
children and Survivors (note the upper case) of residential schools.”
Even the Calgary police went spiritual, with little orange loops pinned to their uniforms.
Other people celebrated differently. A mob defaced and tore down the statue of Queen Victoria in Winnipeg.
The statue of Elizabeth II was toppled, too.
Hamilton, Ontario, used to have a statue of Canada’s first prime minister, John MacDonald. Not anymore!
Dozens of churches were burned and many more vandalized. [[0:08 – 0:13]] That was the more than century-old St. Jean Baptiste Parish church in Morinville, Alberta.
Indians
know how to milk the white man. Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Kamloops
area Indians lectured Prime Minister Trudeau and called for
“restitution. [1:20 – 1:29 4:29 – 4:51]
The
indigenous chief of the Lower Kootenay Band, Jason Louie, said "the
discovery was an example of the mass murder of Indigenous people . . . .
this attempt at genocide.”
Funny thing, many of the
school's Indigenous students remember the school with fond memories, but
there no "coverage" of those facts.
Yes, over many years, some
of the teachers and students died of influenza and other illnesses and
were buried in marked graves at the school which is located in the
middle of the reservation.
Jared Taylor: "White
people are, officially, the world’s worst people. That’s established
fact, and what’s a little lying here and there in a good cause? No
other people in the history of the world have ever gloried in hating
itself. And any people that keeps this up won’t survive."
Here’s
a few figures to remind us of the very large scale circulation of both
air and ocean water that result in an earth’s temperature equilibrium
(not showing seasonal changes). And none of these
figures shows all of the effects of “weather,”, ie., more localized and
transient thunderstorms, fronts and cyclones that hoover-up heat at the
surface and shunt it to the upper atmosphere. “Weather” protects us
enormously. But I don’t believe anyone can model it!

The Earth’s Daily Energy Balance
The graphic below, Fig 3,
shows a heat balance of incoming radiation (heat) in YELLOW from the
sun versus the Earth’s heat losses through radiation of heat back into
space (RED). You can add up the balance on a daily basis: what comes in
is also re-transmitted out.
Only about 51% of the sun’s
incoming radiation from the sun makes it to where people live; ie., on
the surface of the planet. Much of it is absorbed by the atmosphere
itself and re-radiated back into space.
Then, at night,
lower frequency radiation sends all of the day’s gain in energy back
into space. Water vapor, Ozone and trace carbon dioxide are the main
greenhouse gases retaining (blocking) some of the re-radiated heat. It’s these gases that work to keep the Earth from cooling TOO MUCH at night—giving us a nice climate equilibrium. Without the greenhouse gases the Earth would literally be in a permanent ice age, a glaciated snowball.
We’ll show at the end, that the
absorption by earth’s current CO2, Water vapor, Ozone levels are
blocking re-radiation of heat energy are already “maxxed-out”at current
levels so that the heat retention at night is also “maxxed-out”— more
CO2 in the atmosphere WOULD NOT warm the Earth (more on that below).
Fig 3. Earth’s Daily Energy Balance (click to enlarge)
Atmospheric Components That Block Both Incoming and Outgoing Radiation
Now
we get to the complicated part of radiation and re-radiation as shown
in the chart below (Fig 4). The incoming sun’s heat is shown below in
RED—mostly visible (sun)light. Only about 51% of the sun’s energy
reaches where we live (from above). The BLUE Area is lower
frequency/energy radiation to outer space (much of it at night).
The
frames below the colored incoming and outgoing energy show the
“absorption” by the various greenhouse components in the Earth’s
atmosphere and their effects are combined in the “Total Absorption and
Scattering” frame. You can see that water vapor in air is doing the
most to interrupt incoming AND outgoing heat. Water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas. But water vapor, nitrogen, argon, CO2 and oxygen ozone are blocking some incoming radiation and re-radiation at night.
Water vapor, Ozone/O2 and CO2 helps prevent TOO MUCH heat escaping at night—keeping us in a nearly perfect daily temperature range. But it’s water vapor that does the most. CO2 plays a much smaller role.
Think
of desert climates that are very dry (much less water vapor). At
night, those places can get very, very cold AND very hot in the day. It
shows how air’s water vapor mostly stabilizes our environment’s
temperature. Carbon dioxide does some too, but it’s a smaller effect.
Figure
4 Incoming/Outgoing Radiation frequencies and the components in our
atmosphere which absorb and block them. “The frame “Total Absorption
and Scattering” is the sum of all blocking effects of the bottom 5
panels
Carbon dioxide mostly affects the night-time re-radiation and only marginally adds to the effect of water vapor in retaining heat at night.
There’s a lot of blocking of
radiation in total. The amount that makes it through FROM the sun is the
RED area at the Left of the 1st Frame. The amount of energy
re-radiated to space at night is the BLUE area at about 11 micro-meter
frequency.
It’s mostly Water Vapor, Oxygen/Ozone and some CO2 that mostly blocks the re-radiation of the day’s solar energy gain and prevents Earth’s temperature from plunging at night (like a desert). Without this effect, the Earth would be much colder!
Without ANY Greenhouse Gases, the Earth Would be 50 deg F Colder!
Refer to to Figure 5 below. It’s same “blocking effects” of all the greenhouse gases shown in Figure 4.
The real “curve” is best described instead by a jagged black line. It’s significantly different than the smooth, theoretical modeling in blue.
The first big radiation block is caused by CO2 absorbing the re-radiation that would otherwise cool the Earth (Area = 307 Watts/m2) at night (at about 700 on Fig 5).
The
green line shows the isolated effect of ZERO CO2 (0 ppm) in
re-radiation. Much more heat would leave the Earth especially at night
at 0 ppm CO2. This would induce seriously colder conditions on the
planet—nearly 50 deg F colder!
The second big radiation
block is absorption due to Ozone or O3/ (Area = 277 Watts/m2)—another
greenhouse gas (at about 1100 on Fig 5).
The important point
here is the red line (versus the actual black jagged line) at 700 units.
This is what Earth would radiate to space if you were to double our CO2
concentration from today’s value of 400 ppm to 800 ppm.
If
you double the amount of CO2, you just go from the black curve to the
red curve, and you can barely see a difference. The re-radiation at
night hardly changes. The Earth’s equilibrium temperature barely
changes!
Fig.
5 Theoretical blocking effect of the 5 Greenhouse Gases (smooth blue
line) versus the acutal “Blocking effect” of each greenhouse gas.
Without Greenhouse Gases, the Earth would be 44 deg COLDER.
The important point here is the red line. If
you double the amount of CO2 to 800 ppm, you don’t change much of CO2
blocking. It’s already “maxxed-out” and you can barely see a difference.
Happer must be correct as the rise in Earth’s
temperatures is much lower than expected by many “scientists”. Check
out the graph below showing the climate of the Earth is barely changing
(compared to theoretical models):
No Dominion/Smartmatic “obfuscating” (cheating) machines allowed.
They all must be destroyed. Simple optical counters permanent! Paper
ballots scanned by simple optical counters!

Democrats Were the Evil Architects of the Election Steal in 2020; Blacks Were the ‘Muscle’
A
post from 2021 that didn’t get much visibility at Google blogger.
Consider this a “catch-up” post. It’ll happen again if vote counting
centers remain all-black again.
Democrats Are the Evil Architects of the Election Steal; Blacks Were the ‘Muscle’ IN DETROIT
From “The Election Fraud in Detroit: They Did Not Want Us to See What’s Happening” from The Federalist :
“When
I was in the room it was very clear that we were outnumbered, I would
say three to one,” Nesbitt said. Republican and Democrat poll
challengers have different types of credentials, making it easy to tell
how many Democratic challengers there were compared to Republican.
Nesbitt estimates there were about 1,200 people in the hall but only
about fifty or sixty GOP poll challengers—not enough to cover all of the
tables where ballots were being counted.
Even so, when these
Republican poll challengers came into the hall, the ballot-counting
stopped. “It wasn’t too long after I got into the room that it became
very apparent that there was no rush to be counting anything,” Nesbitt
said. “For about four hours, over ninety percent of the counting boards
had no activity.”
Asked why they stopped, Nesbitt replied, “I
believe that they were trying to wait for us to leave, because we had an
influx of volunteers who came into the room following the union
members.”
“The ballot-counters were also not allowing
Republican poll challengers to observe the ballot supplication process.
But whenever Republican observers were present, said Nesbitt, “They
would position their bodies in the way, and other election, workers at
that counting board would position their bodies in the way, to prohibit
us from being able to witness what was happening. If a GOP observer
raised a concern about this, they were kicked out.
Soon after the
Associated Press called the state of Michigan for Joe Biden, a chaotic
scene erupted inside the Detroit convention center.
Police
barred Republicans and Democratic poll challengers from entering a room
where Detroit ballots were being counted. A group identified as
Republicans chanted “stop the count” as they were met by police, who shielded the doors of the city’s TCF Center.”
Black People Barred White Republicans from Entering Vote Counting Room
“Despite
that Detroit is a majority Black city, videos from the scene show the
protesters were white. For Woods, the altercation “said a lot” about the
state of the country.
Election workers stayed in the room all
night and counted ballots while the white people outside banged on the
windows and yelled at them, she says. And the protesters were “irate” as
they yelled at Woods when she came out to talk to them, she says.”
Not
only did black thugs chase away white Republican election observers but
they badly outnumbered White Republicans. AND all these blacks were
deeply committed to defrauding the vote count.
Black People Barred Mostly White Republicans from Entering Vote Counting Room
Democrats Are the Evil Architects of the Election Steal; Blacks Were the ‘Muscle’ In ATLANTA
“A
new report confirms Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman was not
the only leftist operative double counting stacks of ballots in Atlanta
on election night. Top Atlanta election official Ralph Jones was also
double scanning ballots late at night at the State Farm Center in
Atlanta, Georgia on election night.”
Cheaters Ruby, Shaye and Ralph at the State Farm Center Atlanta
Note
the predominance of black “vote counters (ie., defrauders)” in the
counting rooms in all the key cities in all of key swing states in
Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta. Not only did black thugs
chase away election observers but they were deeply committed to
defrauding the vote count.
Wonderful, trustworthy people, aren’t they??
Again from Gatewaypundit: “Ralph Jones was the person who sent home all of the election observers. Then his crew, including Ruby and daughter Shaye, went to work on election night!
Just the News released an explosive report on Thursday night exposing massive fraud in the Fulton County Georgia 2020 presidential election:
“A handpicked contractor in the State Farm Arena, Carter Jones from Seven Hill Strategies,
wrote a 29-page memo back in November outlining the “massive” election
integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the
Atlanta-area’s election centers.”
“In the 29-page report Carter Jones tells
of two more instances where the election officials were double-scanning
votes late at night after the election observers and news media was
sent home!
Just before 11:30 p.m., Jones notes
“confusion about whether or not they’re still scanning at State Farm bc
there were reports that the staff there told the rest of the staff and
press to leave, but I am still getting number reports.” Jones later
arrives at State Farm Arena just before midnight and finds “staff are
still scanning on all five scanners.”
About twenty minutes later,
Jones observes: “Order is starting to break down[.] Ralph newly
re-scanned some ballots that had already been processed by Shaye.”
That
was not the only instance in which Jones claims to have witnessed
potential double-scanning of ballots. Observing counting on the second
day after the election, Jones wrote of a machine that had “shut down
because it was causing more problems than it was solving.”
“Double-feeding and cutting through both the envelope and the ballot, which leads to even more duplicates,” he said.”
“Then,
to establish the steal, the counting center told the Republicans to go
home at 10:30. They concocted the bullshit water leak story. David
Shafer, Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, said in 2 tweets:
Fulton
County elections officials told the media and our observers that they
were shutting down the tabulation center at State Farm Arena at 10:30
p.m. on election night only to continue counting ballots in secret until
1:00 a.m.
No one disputes that Fulton County elections officials falsely
announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 p.m. No one
disputes that Fulton County elected officials unlawfully resumed the
counting of ballots after our observers left the center.”
Remember the vote count was halted
in five key swing states at the same time. Election workers were told to
go home in Atlanta due to a PHONY LIE that there was a water leak. That
was total bullshit.
