1. Justin with a poignant opening conundrum
“The moment Kamala Harris lost the election, Biden began sending Democrat-aligned NGOs & companies $1.3 billion per day, almost $100 billion before Trump took office. In the prior 15 years the same loan office gave out just $40 billion, just $8 million a day.”
(sorry, JH. I haven’t yet found another source to corroborate this)
This was posted by Amuse:
“DOGE: This is insane. The moment Kamala Harris lost the election, Biden began sending Democrat-aligned NGOs & companies $1.3 billion per day, almost $100 billion before Trump took office. In the prior 15 years the same loan office gave out just $40 billion, just $8 million a day. This was theft on a scale the world has never seen before. Trump needs to claw this money back.”
Now, reading the last line of Justin first, anout reliability of the source through corroboration, this is where round table discussion helps, despite it not being action in itself:
And there’s the rub … the VGX comment strikes me as being one of us mid to lower pundits, whereas Amuse has access to DOGE afa I can see … has done for quite some time, despite the lighthearted moniker. Ditto with Publius. The copy posted, plus the sort of language, seems to have an inside lane at least.
My point is that not all comment is equal, nor is it free … it’s as loaded as the next person’s. In our minds as readers, we need to ascribe “weight” to this source or that.
Why, if it achieves nothing, as VGX despaired?
Well, it does achieve, en masse … see the moves of the Uniparty branches in the UK, vis-a-vis Reform and MAGA in the States. All kabuki theatre? Yes, but they still gauge audience. Plus:
Street demonstration? Only en masse, which means demonrat type organisation and bussing. Plus ringleaders or “thought influencers” are picked off at random by thug plod.
Seems to me that irregular warfare is the only chance until the cavalry arrives. Also, I saw the argument that Christians, being not of this world but the next, should do nothing. Well for a start … does it mean in general or does it mean in the face of direct evil coming at your children? I’d argue that if bulls are charging at us, we need to act quickly, in an irregular way.
Plus, if we’re going to cherrypick verses, howabout the one about rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s. Plus the srgument thst if you have a nation built on Christian, biblical precepts, which gives individual choice whether to belueve of not … and that is supported by classical Greek pundits of the time … well, you see where I’m going here.
What I would say is, largely, keep your powder dry, with plenty in reserve, for the big push. Juss thoughts.
