 the orange man says they're crazy and then provides some evidence;

see......... 

and this............

see........ 

 

Trump exposed the Democrats last night multiple times. He outlined his first year achievements and they were impressive.

He left out the continued war in Ukraine, the impending war in Iran and the decline of the USD. Elon Musk was not in attendance and DOGE was not mentioned. Tax refunds of $2000 or tariff checks for the people were not mentioned.

I was impressed but I would be more impressed if he had disbanded Congress and the Supreme Court. Or explained the Epstein files coverup. Or the continued leadership failures of the FBI and DOJ. Or why the NGOs are still receiving tax dollars to destroy the country.

 the economy? here are two on that;

real estate isn't moving;

 the eu is waging a quiet war on hungary for refusing to go along with their crap. here's some of the result; 

 

The collective war being carried out by Ukraine and Brussels against Hungarian energy systems is escalating. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is now putting military defenses and security forces around critical infrastructure.

ORBAN: We will not give in to blackmail! I have ordered increased security for critical energy infrastructure.

The Ukrainian government is exerting pressure on the Hungarian and Slovak governments through an oil blockade. They will not stop there, as they are preparing further actions to disrupt Hungary’s energy system. Hungary cannot be blackmailed!..........more..........

 larry johnson has some thoughts on the iran game and a documentary by pepe escobar on iran; 

 

By noon eastern time on Thursday we will likely know whether or not Donald Trump will sign off on an order to attack Iran. Why noon? That is 6pm in Geneva, Switzerland, where Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will hold indirect talks with representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran. If the two sides emerge from the meeting speaking in positive terms about a tentative agreement, then it is unlikely that Trump will risk starting a war that is likely to escalate into a regional conflagration. Alternatively, if the US side announces — either directly or through selected leaks to the corporate media — that Iran is intransigent and is refusing to compromise, the stage is set for the US and/or Israel launching the long awaited attack.

While we wait, I encourage you to watch the video-linked below. It is a new documentary by my dear friend, Pepe Escobar, that is a result of his journey last year to Iran to study the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC). The INSTC is designed not only to boost Iran-Russia trade, but to unlock unique economic opportunities for many other countries. It is the first English-language documentary ever made on the INSTC.

Pepe presents Tehran not just as Iran’s capital, but as a potential capital of a new Eurasian project — positioned somewhere between Shanghai and St. Petersburg. Pepe frames Iran not as a destination, but as a vital connector reshaping global trade and geopolitics.

The documentary traces Iran’s role as a trade corridor back through history — from the Achaemenid Empire’s Royal Road stretching 2,500 kilometers from Susa to Sardis, through the Silk Road era when caravans of silk, spices and precious goods passed through the heart of Iran, to the Islamic empires that expanded both land and sea routes, making the ports of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman Iran’s gateways to the world............more..........

 pcr is correct though he's only speaking of the visible part of the iceberg; 

 

Which party represents Americans?

Paul Craig Roberts

For sometime I have made the point that America’s enemies are at home, not in Iran, Russia, and China. Last night at Trump’s State of the Union speech, the Democrats proved me to be correct. Trump asked the members of the US Congress to stand up if they agreed with his statement: “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Many Democrats did not stand, which proves my point that if Democrats represent Americans at all, Democrats represent Americans as second-class citizens whose interests are sacrificed to illegal immigrant-invaders.

This is not an endorsement of Republicans. Unlike Democrats, Republicans do not hate white Americans. But Republicans, along with many Democrats, do sacrifice America’s interest to Israel’s. The US fights Israel’s wars at the expense of American blood, money, and reputation. Federal state and local governments censor and punish Americans for criticizing Israel. Criticism of Israel is gradually being turned into an antisemitic hate crime, which means among other things that Americans cannot criticize the genocide and destruction of Palestine. In some American states, a person who is a critic of Israel cannot hold a state job or provide goods and services under contract to the state. Currently in Texas the Israel lobby has brought a vote before the Texas legislature that incorporates Israeli propaganda as a mandatory part of statewide education in Texas. Is a bought and paid for Texas legislature going to permit Israel to shape the outlook of the rising American generation? If so, will it be an American generation or an Israeli one?

Just as Democrats have made it clear that they represent illegal aliens and not American citizens, Republicans have made it clear that they represent Israel and not American citizens.  The representation of Israel is manifest in the chant “you can’t be an American if you don’t love Israel.

Allegedly, America is a democracy, but neither political party represents Americans who are forced to support Israel and illegal aliens. ..............https://paulcraigroberts.org/which-party-represents-americans/
