give a good sized cheer for the new tucker party; 

 

Weeks ago, podcaster Tucker Carlson and former GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene bolted the political party to which they had long belonged.

Now, they say, it’s time for a third party.

The reason: President Donald Trump’s betrayal of his base in starting another foreign war at the behest of Israel.

Carlson’s call for a third party came during an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review. MTG, as she is known, told English podcaster Piers Morgan that Trump has turned into a combination of Israel First chicken hawks Mark Levin, the Fox News bloviator, and GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

The We The People party, which reposted Greene’s interview, has created a website and X account...........more.........

 this is a large part of our problem because those cat ladies can't stop. i would like to see this image after he had recovered and chose to aggressively offer her his 'member';

 This must be the “white privilege” they talk so much about.

I’ve said it before, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is the most underpaid U.S. emissary sent to a hostile nation and constantly surrounded by threats, bitterness, anger and hatred.

It would be easier to be U.S. ambassador to North Korea.

There is so much nuance inside this interview, it is remarkable.

Ambassador Hoekstra tries in his best diplomatic form to tell the two Canadians Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois about the underlying nature of the U.S-Canada trade conflicts.  However, in typical Canadian fashion both indoctrinated interviewers are curiously stumped by the points Hoekstra presents.  I am prompting this one because you also need to see the body/facial language.........more..........

Abelardo de la Espriella’s razor-thin victory over leftist Iván Cepeda on June 21, 2026 represented the most recent rightward shift in Latin America’s politics. The defense attorney from Barranquilla captured 49.66 percent of the vote against Cepeda’s 48.7 percent—a margin of roughly 250,000 votes in what Al Jazeera called one of Colombia’s closest elections. Within hours, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called to congratulate him, and de la Espriella posted his response publicly.

“Colombia will restore and strengthen its relationship with the State of Israel like never before. Israel can count on Colombia as a loyal friend and steadfast ally,” de la Espriella declared. Sa’ar called him “a true friend of the Jewish people and the State of Israel,” adding that he looked forward to “revitalizing relations between Israel and Colombia and taking them to their highest level ever” and that he had already invited the incoming president to visit Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his own congratulations, saying he looked forward to “working with you to strengthen the bond between Israel and Colombia.” De la Espriella has pledged to reverse Petro’s 2024 decision to cut ties with Israel and has promised to relocate the Colombian embassy to Jerusalem.

No figure looms larger in this transformation of Latin American politics than Argentine President Javier Milei. The libertarian economist who took office in December 2023 has positioned himself as Israel’s most devoted ally anywhere on earth...........more..........

 mr peters speaks about the independence we once had; 

 

July the 4th is a strange holiday. People who aren’t free to be left in peace are celebrating what, exactly? That the state only takes a fourth to a third of every dollar they earn? Well, that’s certainly something to be grateful for, perhaps. But celebrate? Do the convicts in prison celebrate when the warden says they can stay in the yard an extra half-hour before being returned to their cells? If they do, it is a degradation; a form of buck dancing.

The 4th is supposed to be the day Americans celebrate the day the Declaration of Independence was promulgated. More specifically, the day that the American colonists – well, some of them – officially declared that they were henceforth independent of the authority of the state of Great Britain. This is the important part and that is why it is the part that is almost never discussed and when it is discussed, it is discussed only cursorily, without getting into what it means. The reason why is obvious.

It was not merely that a Declaration of Independence from the state of Great Britain was promulgated. That is problematic enough, from the standpoint of modernity. After all, if it was legitimate – something to be celebrated – for the American colonists to say, in effect: We deny that the state of Great Britain legitimately rules us. We withdraw our consent and by doing so, the state no longer has moral authority to exert its authority over us. We are separating ourselves from the state of Great Britain.

These are extremely dangerous words.

At least, they became so after the failed attempt of the Southern states to withdraw their consent and separate from a union they no longer wished to be a part of. They also declared independence – withdrew their consent – on April 17, 1861 and this day would have been a day to celebrate had the Southern states successfully asserted their independence, as the thirteen colonies did.

Talk of slavery is a kind of important non sequitur. Of course slavery is a terrible thing. Who would say it is not? But it is beside the point. More finely, it is the point (the non sequitur) that statist want everyone to focus on in making the case that Southern states were in the wrong because there was slavery in the South. Certainly. But it is the principle of consent-withdrawal they do not want discussed, especially among kids. That is crucial. They are taught that Abe Lincoln subdued the Southern states to end slavery. That was incidental. He himself said so, repeatedly. The war was fought to make it clear that the consent of the governed was no longer required, as far as the state was concerned. Abe didn’t quite out it that way, of course. He waxed eloquent about the “union,” as if that made a forced arrangement sacred.

Of course, the state of Great Britain had the same view..........more...........

 a satirist describes the trump reign; 

 

The Trump administration is clearly following several instruction manuals — George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Mike Judge’s Idiocracy, etc. But they’re also using the fall of Ancient Rome as their lodestar.

Here’s a list of some of the well-known characteristics of Ancient Rome during the years it was collapsing. See if you notice any similarities to the fall of the US empire.

Bread and circuses — keeping the urban population calm by pumping them full of food subsidies and public (often brutal) entertainment. While the US ruling psychopaths have abandoned the idea of making sure Americans can afford food, they have definitely gifted us the circuses. Trump just hosted a gigantic Ultimate Fighting Championship on the grounds of the White House. This is by far the closest thing we presently have to gladiators getting eaten by lions. (Even I would’ve tuned in if there'd been lions.)

Slavery and dependent labor. The Global Slavery Index reports that the US has roughly 1.1 million enslaved people plus 800,000 prisoners who are (legally) involved in slave labor. So essentially 2 million Americans are slaves. That’s not including the holy-shit number of people working for pennies in jobs that give them no benefits, rights, or dignity.

Massive inequality. The US just minted its first trillionaire (a space Nazi, no less). Meanwhile 50% of all American children live near or below the poverty line. Feeding America estimates it would cost $32 billion to feed all food-insecure children in the US each year. This means Elon Musk could feed them all for 30 years with billions left over............more..........
