Conservatives need to take five minutes to read about their state and local upcoming elections and then vote, period. Expecting everyone else to do what you can't be bothered to is what got us into this mess.

This is more difficult than you may assume. All of my local city council/school board candidates run on platitudes and none of them mention any concrete policies. The only way to figure out who is good or not is to look at endorsements and assume that conservative groups endorse conservatives and leftist groups endorse leftists.

Nonpartisan elections are dumb because no candidate is truly nonpartisan.

Tabletmag might be one of the best online news sites. The article is worth a read for anyone else interested. His ideas about "conspiracies" tend to line up well with my own. You can't just say "Da Joos" you have to give names, dates, give as much evidence/specifics as you can. If for no other reason that how is saying "Da joos" going to help you? I also didn't know about his father Dick Carlson bankrupting Look magazine. Interestingly enough before he became a journalist, Dick was in ROTC later to be "discharged" (read glowie). The article claims Tucker's uses an,

"invocation of shadowy, all-powerful forces like “the deep state,” whose power is so great that it is impossible to even name them, let alone fight them."

Tucker had a 2 hour talk with Mike Benz on USAID.

"Above all, there is the reflexive inversion of good and evil, whether in the case of World War II, or Vladimir Putin, or Israel’s war against Hamas, which puts his listeners on the side of people (Nazis, Russian dictators, Muslim terrorists) they have formerly and rightfully regarded as America’s enemies, and nudges them toward accepting current Democratic Party establishment wisdom (Israel is bad; Iran is good; there is no such thing as terrorism; good and evil don’t exist) under the guise of being “free-thinkers” and “questioning authority.”"

What if you think good and evil exist, but that Israel/Russia/Iran aren't a priori good or evil? I don't think it matters who kills civilians, be they American, Israeli, Muslim terrorist, Russian, Nazi etc. It's also true that all of these aforementioned groups have killed civilians. So to claim some kind of moral superiority on the one of these groups is laughable. One of my main goals with my critiques of power structures is in hopes that all parties kill fewer innocence. It isn't to "strengthen Americas enemies", but the power of truth is a disinfectant for evil and corruption.

Do “Zionists” control Congress by assigning “minders”

I don't think Zionists completely control every congressman. But it should be obvious to anyone that when 27% of Netenyahu's speech was applause some kind of mossad network is operating in Washington. That doesn't mean I'm against working with Israel at all. Or that the Israelis are the only power network operating in Washington.

But is it wrong to ask these questions? The answer is yes—not because they violate social taboos, or exacerbate hatreds, but because they are demonstrably nonsense.

It is wrong to ask the questions, because the answers to them are wrong. Don't ask how I can answer a question, before asking it.

what it means to be an American, which is a simple, life-changing act of allegiance: It means accepting the promise of freedom that is written in the country’s founding documents and has been renewed in every generation by the creativity and sacrifice of brave men and women.

The Naturalization Act of 1790, "Free White men... of good character"
This article never mentions in anyway how Iran or Qatar is influencing or giving money to Tucker Carlson.

Trying to figure out if this applies for cars or not. Israelis have to pay 13 percent VAT and 87 percent purchase tax on all cars.

You might get rid of the 13% VAT as trump considers VAT to be basically the same as a tariff. But the 87% purchase tax will definitely remain as it's an emissions tax and has (in the twisted mind of the politicians) nothing to do with exchange of goods.

Nonpartisan elections are dumb because no candidate is truly nonpartisan.

California claims positions are nonpartisan and you're not allowed a D/R next to your name on a lot of very important races, it's really bullshit and highlights the subterfuge they'll pull to get people to ignore Dems being Dems. Last time I voted I just looked at individual websites and a far left "THESE ARE NAZIS!!!" facebook page to choose who I'd vote for lmfao

Buy Gold, Bitcoin, or sealed MTG, everything else is subject to more manipulation than you can fathom, those other 3 are still manipulated but its in the realm of fathom ability.

Only real place to invest is your business. Other things might hold their value but, expanding your business allows you to make more. Plus tax benefits.

I think I have a new favorite picture

This article never mentions in anyway how Iran or Qatar is influencing or giving money to Tucker Carlson.

Enter Omeed Malik. Now Tucker Carlson’s main financial backer, Malik was a New York-based investment banker and money manager who was described by the Daily Caller—the conservative website in which he abruptly decided to invest a large chunk of money in 2020—as a “lifelong Democrat” and a donor to left-wing political candidates and causes. While it is possible to imagine that at the height of anti-Trump feeling in 2020 Malik decided to abandon his lifelong political allegiance to the Democratic Party and become a Republican instead, that would make him a rather unusual—even unique—figure, especially among wealthy Muslim Democrats living in New York City. But again, anything is possible.
Malik’s day job is running Farvahar Partners, a boutique investment bank he founded. While boutique Wall Street investment banks have no obligation to be transparent about their investors—and are often valued for doing the opposite—a possible clue as to the source of at least some of the money Malik manages, might be found in the name he chose for his enterprise. The farvahar is a symbol of the soul and of the idea of life after death that is common among peoples of Persian ancestry. Post-1979, it became a favorite national symbol among the Iranian diaspora.
Or perhaps the coincidence of that symbolism has nothing to do with this story at all. Perhaps Malik and Carlson simply met one night at a bar by chance and found they agreed about more than they disagreed on, including the idea that Zionists are bad, America’s involvement in World War II was bad, Adolf Hitler is misunderstood, and Winston Churchill is a villain, and the lifelong Democrat Malik then handed over a large chunk of his own personal savings on the spot so that Tucker Carlson could found a new right-wing media empire centered around himself. I.e., both men are morons.

I love their articles but they are insanely long. Their interview with RFK or their expose of Obama were two of the best articles ive ever read

On the down side Trump might reall lose this one, the Constitution really does leave the laws about elections to the indivudal states but Trump's team argues that the EO has no effect on the States, they can still operate the election machine as they wish but just that Voter ID is a univeral standard. Kinda of big reach IMHO but we will see as this sucker will reach the SCOTUS with so many heavy hitter behind it on

Can we say 2020 repeat here, this is basically trading legitimacy to just end up slowing down Trump.

The CO House Committee has voted 7-4 to pass a radical transgender bill that makes "misgendering" a "discriminatory act," takes children away from parents who "deadname" or "misgender," and pushes gender ideology in all schools, including private and charter. All the Democrats on the committee voted for the legislation and all Republicans voted against it.

I don't have unlimited time or patience. A short text based summary in an article is a much more efficient way of conveying information than 30+ minutes of some Ben Shapiro clone smirking, shrugging, and sighing dramatically before he gets to the fucking point.

you got the makings of a middle manager friendo

got to love someone who will spend more time complaining about their time being wasted by SOMEONE ELSE'S lack of wark than the actual amount of time it would have taken them for THEM to do the work instead of bitch at someone else to do it.

This ape really is over here going
"Listen bud, I may have time to shit post on USPG2 but you think I have time to watch a 30 minute video about US politics? how about you go fuck yourself hows that? feed it into chat gpt, slice it diagonally and do the airplane noise while you spoon feed it to me."

I hear twitter has a word count limiter, might be more your speed

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Leftist business news outlets are calling Telsa's sales a "plummet." Meanwhile, Rivian - another electric car manufacturer - is in a "soft slump."

 

[Fuck Bankers]

Enter Omeed Malik.

This is kind of like antisemitic reasoning. Just because someone is a wealthy Jew, doesn't means he is working for the Israeli government. In the same way, just because someone is a wealthy Persian, doesn't mean he is working for the Iranian government. But it also doesn't mean that they aren't working for the Iranian government. It could be significant, it could be insignificant for Tucker.

You sound like the type of person who unironically thinks Matt Walsh is smart and insightful.

Trump talks about wanting to buy a 51st US state all the time. Why not buy the UK?

That place is a dying cesspit anyway, parliament fucking sucks, the royal family is because just Disneyland mixed with the Kardasians, and the sun literally just set on the British Empire. They wanna leave the EU but can't because they're unable to stand on their own.

By buying them, we get a chance to "rebuild" the British Empire with ourselves at the top this time, and they get to have a real government. Even at the US' most retarded, we're still better than their parliament. They'll get to be a real country with real rights, and we'll get a significant part of culture and history, restored to greatness from a state of utter embarrassment.

All I want for America's big 250 is a headline that says "England now a US colony," with a big Uno reverse card as the picture.

Oy gevalt! Cries the yuppie. Thanks to Yronald Flumpfador's tarrifs I now have to pay 180k for my new pickup truck instead of the 175k I was going to pay anyway.

This is the worst injustice since my great grandfather Yekel Shekelbaum chocked on a rancid blintz during the lolocaust, when will the oppression end?

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

I'm probably jumping at conclusions here, but I'm assuming they're doing this because Trump's people are not complying with the TRO's, right?

not really

This is a whole new lawsuit that has to do with Trump's latest EO that set out certain guidelines for the election process. While I have zero doubt the judge will issue a TRO as of yet this case hasn't been heard so no TRO has been issued.

The other TRO's you might be thinking of are the immigration ones where the gang bangers were sent to El Salvador which Trump is kinda ignoring the judge but the issue is a bit more complex and nuanced as the judge issued the order while the planes were in-flight and out of American airspace. Trump's teams said the orders were void as the planes were already gone and the judge does not believe them and wants to punish them for disobeying his judicial order.

It's messed up but there is lots of talk about it everywhere if you want to know more.

I'm down for liberating the UK, flushing the poos & sandniggers out of there, and setting up a new government with strong gun and speech laws. But I don't want them to join the US. A least with Greenland, there's rare earth minerals and proximity to the north pole. What does the UK offer us? Nothing.
