  1. So what. We do business. Thats why we are rich and you are our vassal state. Hindsight is always 20 20. Germany was a Republic until Hindenburg died in 1934. After that it still seemed like a Republic for a while. Perhaps you can enlighten me with specifics on how the US Government supplied Hitler after 1939 and until 1941, since that is your assertion. And remember, individual private companies dong business in foreign countries is not the same as the government supplying another government with goods. I can point to European companies today that circumvent embargos on terrorist states.
  2. Actually quite the opposite. Perhaps you need a remedial class in basic English. My point to @Aristideswas that if she is okay with abortions, as she is, then she should not cry about shootings. As for me, I am against murdering any human beings regardless of what stage their development is. What you are hung up on is the remedy: My remedy is enforcing existing law by prosecuting and jailing all criminals including murderers. Your remedy is to suppress my constitutional right to bear arms. You can shove that remedy right up your ass. Are we clear now?
  3. Wake me when the crying and snivelling is over so I can give a reasonable response
  4. We are out of bribe money now. Our borrowing days are numbered.
  5. Trump is right -- NATO is obsolete, and he's delivering that message loud and clear https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/trump-is-right-nato-is-obsolete-and-hes-delivering-that-message-loud-and-clear 4 years ago President Trump continued his criticism of NATO Tuesday before he headed to Europe for a meeting of leaders of the 29-nation alliance Wednesday, trading barbed tweets with European Council President Donald Tusk. The testy exchange was further evidence that the president is right when he says that NATO – created in 1949 – has become obsolete. The U.S. president understands one of the great cardinal rules of geopolitics that others seem to have forgotten: no alliance lasts forever. After almost 70 years, America and its NATO partners in Europe may be heading for a new relationship, while still remaining friends. In an early morning tweet Tuesday, President Trump wrote: “Getting ready to leave for Europe. First meeting - NATO. The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer. On top of that we lose $151 Billion on Trade with the European Union. Charge us big Tariffs (& Barriers)!” And in another tweet President Trump wrote: “NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States must pay LESS. Very Unfair!” Tusk responded with a tweet of his own: “Dear @realDonaldTrump. US doesn’t have and won’t have a better ally than EU. We spend on defense much more than Russia and as much as China. I hope you have no doubt this is an investment in our security, which cannot be said with confidence about Russian & Chinese spending.” History teaches us obvious reasons for the breakup of alliances. Circumstances and threats change. One country’s mortal enemy one day could be the nation’s best friend the next. Just look back at World War II – our enemies Germany, Japan and Italy are our allies today. Our ally Russia (part of the Soviet Union back then) is our adversary. There is only one constant when it comes to smart foreign policy. A nation seeks allies and partnership where it has common interests. Sometimes those alliances lose their value or importance over time and break up. NATO was formed to defend against the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. But the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact died in 1991 – and NATO’s original mission died then as well. Soviet tanks are no longer primed to head into Europe to conquer our NATO partners. NATO is now a world-class military alliance looking for a mission. To be clear, Moscow is certainly a dangerous adversary. Its occupation and annexation of Crimea – thanks to its growing military might – as well as brutal chemical weapons attacks on British soil prove a rogue Russia needs to be deterred and confronted if need be. But today’s Russia is not the superpower threat that the Soviet Union was. Over the long-term, demographic issues, economic stagnation and questions of who succeeds Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly ensure Moscow is not the boogeyman it once was. Russia’s economy is roughly the size of Italy. But thanks to a tremendous amount of natural resources (particularly oil and natural gas) that it can sell, along with a military inheritance from the Soviet Union – including a large nuclear arsenal – Russia clearly poses a real threat to Europe that can’t be wished away. But as President Trump has pointed out, if Europe really wanted to defend itself – and all NATO nations spent 2 percent their gross domestic products on defense, as they are supposed to be doing in the next few years – Russia would be no match for the might of just Britain, France and Germany alone. Add in the capabilities of all the other members of the alliance – with America playing a small role as well – and Putin would, at least in theory, have every incentive to play nice for as long as he stays in power. Instead, we have a situation where many of Europe’s major powers have armed forces that can barely do anything anymore. Having focused on developing expensive social welfare programs that cost billions of dollars every year, Europe has instead outsourced its defense to the U.S. military and U.S. taxpayers. This forces America to put vital resources into Europe that are sorely needed elsewhere – especially in Asia. Even having a military with a $700 billion annual budget that is the best in the world does not mean America can defend all our allies all over the world. They have a responsibility to pay their fair share for their own defense and fill the ranks of their own armed forces, as President Trump has repeatedly pointed out. America’s power and might must be focused on the greatest of all threats, with our partners and friends taking on the burden in other areas of the world that are closer to their doorstep. With Chinese economic and military power on the rise, the U.S. must concentrate its efforts on the rising Asian superpower that seeks to overthrow the international order in the Asia-Pacific and turn large sections of the sea into its own sovereign territory. China is the national security challenge of our time. Russia does not even come close. And then there is North Korea. As the world witnessed last weekend, Pyongyang will not be handing over its nuclear bombs anytime soon. Washington must focus as much of its diplomatic attention – and if need be, military might – on ensuring that we find a long-term solution to deal with North Korea. If we fail to do this, we are doomed to increased tensions like those that nearly brought East Asia to the brink of nuclear war last summer. All this means that America’s available diplomatic and military bandwidth that it can devote to Europe must change. We must face up to the fact that NATO, in its present form, is obsolete. The alliance must evolve into an organization led and mostly resourced by Europeans. So, is America going to quit NATO and go back across the Atlantic or abandon its allies in Europe? Never. Does that mean a wave of isolationism has infected Washington and we won’t honor our treaty commitments or push back against Moscow in another crisis? Not at all. But it does mean a fundamental shift in burden that a Europe blessed with wealth and riches can easily maintain. However, if Europe is unwilling or unable to field a credible armed force to take on challenges from Russia or elsewhere, we must question the utility of an alliance that is a shell of what it used to be. During World War I, the U.S. Army produced an iconic recruiting poster showing Uncle Sam pointing a finger at the viewer saying: “I WANT YOU FOR U.S. ARMY.” We could use a similar poster today for our NATO allies, saying: “I WANT YOU FOR YOUR OWN ARMIES.” This is the message I expect President Trump will deliver in Europe. And it’s one our partners on the continent need to listen to.
  6. Finland must seek immediate membership in NATO, leaders of the Nordic nation said on Thursday, moving to end seven decades outside the Western military bloc in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Finland’s entry would add significant combat power to the alliance while also deepening the East-West divisions that have consumed Europe since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion. Neighboring Sweden is expected to announce its own NATO bid soon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/12/finland-nato-membership-russia-ukraine/ Awww, crap! Another country sucking on America's teet. Trump was right: Until NATO Nations pay their fair share then we should get the **** out of NATO. I am tired of footing the bill for the world just to have the world turn around and spit on us (America) every day.
  7. Dems Hope to Make Midterms About Trump, Not Referendum on Their Performance https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/democrats-trump-midterms/2022/05/02/id/1068069/ Fearing that they can't win the midterm elections if they focus on their performance, President Joe Biden and fellow Democrats are trying to turn the campaign into a sharp contrast with former President Donald Trump and the Republicans, Politico reported on Monday. Democrats are particularly awaiting potential findings from the Jan. 6 select committee and hope those discoveries can inflame a battle brewing within the Republican Party over Trump’s legacy and power. Biden recently gave a glimpse of the strategy, saying, “This ain’t your father’s Republican Party.” Biden called it “the MAGA party now,” where Republicans “are afraid to act properly, because they know they’ll be primaried” if they don’t follow in step with Trump and his acolytes, according to Politico. However, hampering this effort is a lack of coordination from the White House, with some Democrats frustrated that there is no direction given when asked to defend such policies as the administration’s position on voting rights, Biden’s legislative agenda, and his decision to rescind Title 42, the Trump-era health directive that permits the expulsion of migrants seeking asylum. The efforts are also harmed by three realities: Biden’s poll numbers are low, inflation is at its highest in decades, and the margins of Democrats in Congress are slim. But the White House has renewed hope that Democrats will still have time to change the conversation, as there are signs of growing division within the GOP, Politico reported. These splits are particularly highlighted by revelations about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s critical words for Trump and right-wing caucus members after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Reinforcing that storyline, Democrats are also hoping that the House committee investigating the riot, which plans to hold prime-time hearings in June, might produce damaging findings against Trump and other key Republicans. Another boost Biden advisers believe they received was Elon Musk’s surprise purchase of Twitter, which raises the chances that Trump will be allowed to return to the platform. Although that would shine significantly more attention on Trump, many in Biden’s orbit believe that the more the election becomes about the former president, the better the Democrats’ chances become.

  9. Kruschev sent missiles to Cuba and threatened the United States and forced Pussy Kennedy to remove our missiles as the price of removing his. Kennedy got bullied and he bent over and took it in the arse. I would have stood firm and made Kruschev buckle. The fact is, in 1960 our nuclear forces were still far superior to the Soviets and they would have never dared go into a nuclear war with us. Kennedy fucked up. We all prefer jaw-jaw to war-war, but you never bow down to blackmail like Kennedy did. What an utterly stupid comparison. The Berlin wall enslave people within its communist boundaries. Trump is trying to prevent people from illegally sneaking into our country. There is no comparison. Canada population is about 38 million. We have an entire Canada of illegal aliens in our nation right now. You could never withstand such an onslaught. Trump tried to stop it. Your POV's are all wrong. Have a nice day.
  10. 1. I cannot find how to edit my signature. 2. I cannot see how to toggle back and forth from WYSWYG post editing to plain text editing where I can see the BB code codes. ☹️
  11. No. I don't work to pay other peoples' bills. You notice how nobody ever goes after the elite universities and their price gouging? You also notice how kids don't shop smartly for an education, they go for the big name instead? Fuck them. I do not want my tax dollars paying off their loans. The probably goose stepped out of school as newly branded Marxists anyway. This is their first lesson as adults: Pay your fucking bills.
  12. I was worried when he took Bill OReilly's time slot, but you are correct, he has grown into it very nicely.
  13. LOL! He buckled to Commie demands because he was a pussy. Are you a member of the Neville Chamberlain Fan Club?
  14. The only empty thing here is your head. You spoke about "America’s failed experiment with extreme capitalism whereby one company and its one factory have a near monopoly on the US supply." You say that is if the US government got together and said, "Lets try an experiment: Lets just have a couple of companies make a product and see what happens." Such is the stupidity of your thought process. The US government does not create companies like socialist asshats like you do. If 100 businessmen had decided to start 100 baby formula companies then there would be 100 of them. But there is what there is. The US government does not direct people on what sort of company to start you half-witted Cretin. There is no "experiment" you moron. And as for Biden . . . He is at fault. I know what happens here in my country and you do not. His bad ideological policies have disrupted supply chains and gas prices and everything else. Whatever problems a particular baby formula company may have been having would have been alleviated if these other issues we not exacerbating the problems. Your brain and your stupid mouth is run by a socialist. Did you know that Russia entire economy is the size of Texas? Speaking of economies, who is at the bottom of this list: United States (GDP: 20.49 trillion) China (GDP: 13.4 trillion) Japan: (GDP: 4.97 trillion) Germany: (GDP: 4.00 trillion) United Kingdom: (GDP: 2.83 trillion) France: (GDP: 2.78 trillion) India: (GDP: 2.72 trillion) Italy: (GDP: 2.07 trillion) Brazil: (GDP: 1.87 trillion) Canada: (GDP: 1.71 trillion) LOL. Now shaddup loser
  15. Well, here is a different POV, and a darn good one. Perhaps I have more analyzing to do on this topic
  16. Mark Levin Exposes the New York Times They may say they’re the paper of record, but the New York Times’ history is marred with cover-ups, subterfuge, and correspondents in the pocket of Hitler, Stalin and Castro.
  17. Yes, it is. LOLLL. OMG the colossal stupidity of that remark does not even deserve a thought our response. Go smoke some more crack.
  18. Ladies and Gentlemen, @Aristidesgives us the Left's solution to supply chain and food shortage problems: Murder babies. You would have made a great Nazi.
  19. Meanwhile, what the fake news media does not report on, conservative Latinos - Three Latina conservative ladies all running for Texas office
  20. You cannot reason with imbeciles like @Aristides . They block out all facts and reality and live in a world of slogans and stupidity. A true nationalist is a patriot who cares about his country first, and such a person does not drag his country into wars of conquest and empire building, because in the end that is never good for your country..
  21. Watters: The woke are facing a revolt 'Jesse Watters Primetime' host says 'people start looking for alternatives' when large companies start fighting the culture wars. Netflix takes a stand against woke protests against its content
  22. You are just a plain liar. A liar. Period. Who the hell do you think you are pretending to know what I care about. You don't even know me. You are a baby-killer. Period. Don't pretend for a minute that you can talk about "caring" to me. You have totally ignored all my posts of women and young women who share my POV. You have totally ignored all my posts of human beings in the womb that you want to kill. You have totally ignored all my posts about Human Rights. You willingly stay ignorant and ignore any fact presented to you. And then you have the nerve to accuse me of not caring? You are a lowlife degenerate. Period.
