Sorry to ask, but I have been way out of the loop on recent events. My FNC-watching spouse was referencing a speech President Trump gave on Saturday where he allegedly said that immigrants were "poisoning the well of America." I know darn well this was likely taken out of context, so if anyone has a link to the whole speech I would be tremendously grateful. 😊

Was reading Erik Carlson's article "You Are a Horrible Person" (https://badlands.substack.com/p/you-are-a-horrible-person?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) regarding what happened to Damar Hamlin. Carlson proposes tongue-in-cheek that if a routine tackle can cause a young, healthy player to go into cardiac arrest, then football and all other contact sports should cease to exist. As I read that, it occurred to me how vital it is for the globalists to end all sportsball for good.

Sports used to be one of the things that united people from different backgrounds. The only people who hated sports were leftists, because of all that "toxic masculinity." So, like all of our other institutions, the left began infiltrating the sports world, systematically destroying it by leaving their woke imprint. First it was stirring up controversy over gay athletes. Then it was the push to put women's sports on equal footing with men's sports (yes, I'm a woman, and I absolutely consider men's sports a vastly superior product). But now, thanks to Covid, the globalists have accelerated the destruction of sportsball:

1. Sports were shut down during the pandemic.
2. When they were reopened, people couldn't attend games.
3. When people were allowed to attend, they had to wear masks and socially distance.
4. When the clot shot became available, both athletes and patrons were told to get it or else they would not be allowed to participate.
5. Those who did get the shot are now "dying suddenly."

We have certainly seen over the last two years how easily swayed the sheep are. I can totally see those in control drawing a straight line from Hamlin's situation to "OMG Sportsball isn’t safe! We must end it!" And it doesn't end with the pro teams. College, high school, Pop Warner, it all goes away. One more thing to take away from our kids to make them fat, lazy, and compliant.

In brief, sportsball allowed these leftist in, and because they did, the sportsball empire will all be destroyed. When they say "everything woke turns to shit," sometimes that is intentional. It certainly looks like it in this case.

I lurk here much more than I post, but since I found GAW in January '21 there have been times I felt this was the only place that made any sense to me. I've learned a lot from you good people, and most importantly I've learned how to find real answers on my own. I am very thankful for my family and friends, but I also thankful for my frens here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

It was my understanding that one was supposed to speak last night and the other tonight. I haven’t seen a single headline or anything posted here or elsewhere, but did either Bush or Obama speak last night? Did they cancel because Trump did not speak about fraud during his announcement?

If they were planning to rebut him and there was nothing to rebut and they had to cancel...that's pretty frigging awesome.

Just watched the Scotty Mar video speculating on Trump's nomination as Speaker of the House, and I also read the thread about Trump possibly announcing he's starting a new party. I think there is a chance both could happen, although I think one happens further down the road.

Tomorrow the House puts forth their nominations for Speaker. Matt Gaetz has already said he wouldn't nominate McCarthy and previously talked about Trump being the nominee. Jamie Raskin even brought this up during the Sunday talk shows as a crazy plan some Republicans are hatching. So, it's in the public consciousness on both sides of the aisle, and when Gaetz nominates Trump, it'll be somewhat expected, but there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Flash forward to Tuesday night. Trump humbly accepts Gaetz's nomination, then proceeds to tell the American people that he has collected dirt on enough members of the House and Senate (on both sides) to have them either arrested or publically humiliated, and it would be his sincere hope he wins enough support to become Speaker. Not knowing what Trump knows, Congress elects him Speaker in a landslide.

Once Trump is Speaker, he brings articles of impeachment on Biden and Harris. They are summarily impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate (who still don't know what Trump has on them and don't want to risk crossing him). Trump becomes President, and after he is inaugurated he announces the formation of the America First party, inviting Congress members to join if they are willing to put the American people ahead of politics.

Oh, he also releases the info he has. Mass arrests ensue, Trump is re-elected in 2024, and we all live happily ever after.

Okay, so maybe this is a little too neat and tidy, but I always go back to when Trump said, "We caught 'em all," and I wonder if that could also mean he's collected more than just election shenanigans for just such a moment. I mean, everyone and their brother have investigated Trump. Stands to reason he would be doing the same to his enemies.

I saw Ashland Dog's post about the DOJ opening an investigation into Trump and his role in the faux insurrection and I had a crazy thought pop into my head. What if the DOJ comes up with some trumped-up charges to indict him? The FBI is sent to arrest him (the "first arrest"), but instead they are met by the military (the military is the only way). They inform the the FBI agents they cannot arrest a sitting president, because Trump enacted continuity of government and has been POTUS all along (devolution). The agents are hauled off to GITMO along with all the co-conspirators, and we all live happily ever after.

I am probably way off base, but it would certainly be a plausible way to reveal the plan to the public en masse.

So, not only did Trump-endorsed Dan Cox upend the Hogan-backed Kelly Schultz (mail-in ballots for GOP few enough to make a comeback statistically impossible), but it looks like Marilyn Mosby will lose her primary as well. I worked a polling place yesterday, and I will say there was an energy I have not experienced as a Maryland voter in elections past. People are waking up and paying attention. Cox's victory and Mosby's probable loss are clear indicators.

Who isn't waking up? The media. I turned on a local radio station this morning, and the talking heads are convinced Cox gets trounced by Moore in the general. Their line of thinking is moderate Republicans in the state are turned off by Cox and will sit out the November election. However, I think they're wrong this time. Cox spent the entire primary engaging with as many Maryland citizens as he could. The entire premise of his candidacy, while fundamentally America (and Maryland) First, is that he wants to make things better for all Marylanders. He debated Democrats during the primaries. He believes his ideas are good ideas, and he spends every second of every day to get others to buy in. He doesn't care what your party affiliation is. I am generally the first to give in to my inner cynic, but I believes this guy is the real deal, and I think the media underestimates him at their own peril. (end rant)

Regardless of the road ahead, I am very thankful for today 😊

I dialed and will let you know if anything interesting was said.

Trisha and a group of patriots purchased 150 DVD copies of 2000 Mules, then flew to DC this week to give the copies to various GOP congressmen and senators.

For those who cannot access Truth Social, the reactions she and her fellow travelers received were a mixed bag, and fairly predictable. Of note:

1. MTG, Matt Gaetz, and Andy Biggs were very happy to meet with her. Biggs is trying to organize a congressional screening.

2. Lindsey Graham does NOT want you in his office if you haven't gotten the clot shot or aren't wearing a mask 🙄.

3. Joni Ernst's staff won the Rude Award.

4. Trisha's senator John Cornyn's staffer was also quite rude and did not want to hear about the movie or her concerns about Cornyn voting with the Dems on gun control.

I can't recall everything but if you have a question about a specific congresscritter I can look. Sadly, no showdowns with The Turtle or Mittens, but she may post more when she has time.

Wanted to give her account a shout out. She looks like she should be baking cookies for her grandkids, but she's tougher than nails IMO 😁.

Interestingly, the Dems did not appeal Judge Battaglia's decision, and state leaders have submitted a new map for consideration. It looks like not only our lone Ivermectin-prescibing Republican rep Andy Harris will be safe, but Western MD has a decent chance to upend their Dem rep now that some of the bluer parts of Montgomery County have been removed. We should really be a 5-3 Dem/Rep state, but getting back to 6-2 is yuge.

The bigger challenge with the state delegate redistricting remains, but a win is a win 😁

Hubby is a conservative but a normie. I cannot get him to shut off the rah rah war propaganda, and the second I suggest anything outside the narrative, I get shut down.

Don't need advice, just wanted to vent.
