Yep, sadly Rill and Train are mad at ME! A lot of innocent victims but the truth tellers and unvaccinated are the focus of their rage. Oh well. Stockholm Syndrome for the vax?


I’m guessing this thread won’t last long if you continue targeting me, and I have to continue educating you on some well known things.

It’s incredible that the vaccine has given him symptoms that are completely consistent with the condition he was diagnosed with in 2013.

You are very much like the people that didn’t realize COVID-19 came from the coronavirus lab in China. Just completely oblivious.

I’ll probably take another break after this. Maybe it was the Kirk situation, I just don’t have energy for this anymore. I hope you enjoy the vaccine porn and obituary searches.

I see all the posts on this board telling me how great the economy is. If the economy is doing so well, then there is no reason to cut rates.
You only cut rates if you are trying to stave off a recession. Is the economy doing well or not?
Well, no. For so many reasons.

He called a large gathering and told them to march to the Capitol (on the day they were performing the Constitutional duty to count and declare the winner, which wasn't him) you have to fight like hell or we won't have a country left, I will march with you. It sure wasn't a guide tour for tourists. We all saw it in real time and repeated dozens of times. Where were you?
*peacefully and patriotically

Your desperation is glaring when all you have are lies.

Perhaps his condition was more aggravated immediately after the vaccine.

I’m quite interested though in what this “Kirk situation” means to you.

This is what normal people are concerned about. Water availability.

Not worried about cow farts or the poles, but I do have some concern about water availability. Now what causes it? What can we reasonably do to increase water availability? Don’t worry, I don’t want your cows or cars.
Normal people are concerned about many things with our environment. It isn’t just water, but if I lived in the Western US and had to rely on the Colorado River, then I would certainly be concerned about water and what the leftist wackos have done to harm the water supply.

Edit: I’m also going to add that the damming of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers for flood control has had massive consequences for at least the Illinois River. It hasn’t stopped the flooding, and more importantly, the flow of the river is slowed so much that silt doesn’t work its way through the water system naturally, which has turned the river into nothing but mud and what was once clear water in the 1920’s and a great fish habitat is 3-4’ deep in many spots with the silt piling up every year. We should go back and revisit the Army Corps of Engineers examining whether this was actually a good idea or not.

Sure, but that isn't what he or TJ is implying. That video makes it seem like the vaccine caused his condition.

I've always said injecting anything has risk. I know it first hand, I've experienced Anaphylaxis and almost died in 2020. I shared that story on here. I'm 100% sure that the vaccine caused a negative reaction in some people. But it didn't cause Clapton's condition. I'm guessing his body is vulnerable to just about everything these days.

The Kirk situation - I don't want to debate with people that aren't reasonable. TJ is like the purple and blue haired college kids that called Kirk names and accused him of things that weren't true. He does the same thing on here, and my patience for people like him is gone.

LOL. California is a joke. You can’t do squat about Federal agents wearing masks.


One of my favorite TV shows back in the day was: "The Lone Ranger !" with his faithful Companion, Tonto !

You always seem to have a new liberal old cause !

The one thing that really bothers me is the talking point that Jasmine Crockett and some others are pushing that Charlie was racist. She is getting time on the main stream media outlets to spread this. Not at all true but what the heck.

Clapton’s condition could still be amplified from the jab and is a great example of people shouldn’t have been forced to take it.

There are more than a couple of posters on my ignore list. You were one of them. You earned your way back off my ignore list a few weeks ago. Just FYI.

The reality is that Charlie Kirk’s death is much bigger than the Left expected. We have been sick of the Left, their tactics and extremism for 20 years. They are busy trying to create outrage over a business decision while considering the outrage over truly hateful people saying ugly things about Kirk as “rage bait”. Pathetic human beings think like that. A wife lost her husband and the kids lost their dad. The other guy got fired for being an a-hole.

The day Kirk was assassinated, I specifically mentioned this would be a galvanizing event for the Right. With the actions by leftists in the aftermath, even more people have seen the light to what the Left represents than real Republicans and I have posted some here. Independents and Democrats alike have viewed videos of what Kirk said and have figured out how bad the media and leftist influencers have lied. It doesn’t take much curiosity. Just a little. Schumer just called Trump a dictator yesterday. Crockett complained of the 58 Dems who voted against a Charlie Kirk resolution, only 2 of them were white men. This is who the Left is. They are truly miserable people and their ideology must be soundly defeated. How many of the creeps who said nasty things about Kirk after his death and got fired from their jobs accepted accountability for their own words and poor judgment? The number is most likely zero. The turnout for Charlie Kirk’s funeral was beyond amazing and truly inspirational.

Have you noticed how the Western world, including the US, has been suffering from the same big issues? Real government censorship, total craziness of supporting the criminal over the victim and the importation of illegals with no concern of melting into their new countries. This is an international event. Trump Admin is standing in the way of this. The small countries in Europe are not enough. Poland, Hungary, Italy. The Republicans must keep Congress in 2026. Too much work to do to uncover all of the culprits.

Only 10% of Democrats know it was a leftist who took out Kirk. That’s all you need to know about how bad our MSM is.

Like I said, if in six months there is not substantial inflation due to tariffs, I will happily admit I was wrong.
LOL. You will then give it 6 more months. It's been 6 months and you have a record stock market and inflation is pretty darn good. Hell, even TIm Cook says the tariffs had zero impact on iphone prices.

You and Train lack the stature and grace to admit you were both terribly wrong on tariffs. Somehow, you are like me on Saturday night to begin Q3 and still thinking there was a path to victory. That's called false hope.

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes aren't due to Donald Trump tariffs

Good you know more about Eric Clapton, then say, Eric Clapton who says the vaccine kicked his *** and had negative effects. You must have stayed at a HIE.

Awfully delicate aren't you? Enjoy your break. Hardly a surprise. And quit lying about not pushing Global Warming - all of those "unprecedented Colorado fires".

I have my opinion of Charlie Kirk and his words said as his beliefs.

That his Wife can proclaim : "I forgive Him !" (the shooter) is something more powerful than the State can demonstrate.

Charlie was mainly self-educated on events and policies that shape much of what is now known as "debate" in much of the USA, which has evolved as screaming at each other !

But what he attempted to have were discussions with non-like thinking people and allow them to discourse and then calmly educate them to logically rethink reexamine their prior decisions/beliefs.

I have searched my memory of now historical world figures, like Ghandi, JFK, MLK Jr, FDR and then deeper and found Will Rogers !
Some of those I mentioned had reprehensible personal lives.

But to be known as a ; "I never met a person I didn't like !" is more fitting how to have The Eternal Maker, Judge either Charlie or Will !

Then there is no need for a rate cut.
Oh Jeff, why did they have a few rate cuts before the election?

The rate cut is great, helps with the debt your party wants to continue to accrue. You never did come out in favor of the upcoming shutdown to STOP Schumer and Democrats from adding an extra 1T in debt. Your lack of support for reduced spending is curious given your hatred of DOGE and excess spending. Total hypocrite.

You don't cut interest rates to reduce government interest payments. That is not the mission of the Fed.

Perhaps the FED shouldn't exist? They've lost track of their mission and now harbor, protect, and allow votes from a woman who is likely guilty of mortgage fraud to create Fed Policy. The debt is absolutely integral to the economic health of America including interest rates and unemployment rates.

Here is what Jimmy Kimmel said: “The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” (somehow this assassin is MAGA, Kimmel's political dogwhistle to trash Trump).

400 hollywood types expressed their support for his comments and the ACLU is fundraising off of it for "Free Speech". Meanwhile Gavin Newsome is agitating and stirring the pot. What a bunch of baloney.

Why is Jimmy Kimmel political to begin with, I thought his show was supposed to be late night entertainment? Apparently ABC wants to become MSNBC? Fortunately some ABC affiliates are refusing to air this politically biased show, but it still will air in Hollywood...

Shame on ABC for promoting political hate.
