Correct Tom, "One or the other as an excuse does not make it right. Pot kettle". Yet you single out Trump and fault him for not serving in the army, yet you make no mention of Biden. Why? Selective discrimination?

Putting aside the issue of selective service, compare the policies of Trump vs. Biden on the border/illegal migrant situation, support for the war in Ukraine, the Afghanistan debacle, support for the "woke agenda", the depletion of our strategic oil reserve, the war on fossil fuels and the push for EV's/wind/solar all in the name of "climate change". I could go on and on, but I hope you get my point.

I hope you and many others with TDS can put aside you dislike/distaste for personal traits that you dislike, and focus on what is best for our country.

Here is a brief piece of this rather extraordinary article:

"With a gun you can kill a man. With a bomb you can kill a family. With a nuke you can level a city. But with a story you can control the world.

This is how billions of people around the world have been locked up as prisoners in their own homes this past year. Not because there is an inexhaustible supply of police thugs standing on every street corner ready to shoot anyone who steps outside of their home, but because a narrative has been constructed such that the vast majority want to stay home. Give a society the right narrative and they will gladly lock themselves inside their own prison and hand over the key.

This is why billions around the globe are prepared to roll up their sleeves for an experimental, unproven "vaccine" for a disease with a 99% survival rate. The masses have been given a narrative whereby this "vaccine" is going to deliver them from a deadly plague. It doesn't matter what counter-evidence is presented to them; the ones who take the vaccine are the righteous heroes of this story, and those who question the vaccines are the villains.

This is also why—as I'm at pains to point out over and over again in my #PropagandaWatch series—the powers that shouldn't be spend so much time, money and effort propagandizing the public. If the world could be ruled over simply by posting armed guards on every street corner and listening devices in every home, you better believe that those who seek to rule over you would do that instead. But how could they get the armed guards to police their fellow citizens? How could they get the snoops to listen in on their neighbors? Where would the enforcers come from? The population needs to be told a compelling story about why the rulers are ruling and why it is wrong to resist their rule. If such a story is secure in their minds, they will happily police themselves.

There is a flip side to this seemingly depressing insight, however. Yes, people can be tricked into enslaving themselves through propaganda and narrative manipulation. To a large extent, that explains the situation we find ourselves in today. But the inverse is also true. We can be freed by a narrative that helps us to break out of our mental prison. One storyteller with a compelling tale to tell can re-frame our collective reality in an instant, and the world will change all at once.

Sadly, it seems that the powers that shouldn't be are much more aware of this than we are.

This is why the Dutch army is targeting dissenting voices in the Netherlands.

This is why the Canadian military declared that they were going to target the Canadian public in the information war (but don't worry, they totally scrapped that plan).

This is why the British army has an entire cyber brigade dedicated to influencing public behavior online, as does the US military, the Israelis, the Chinese and Russians and every other major government in the world.

It is because the great resetters and the new world order agenda-setters recognize the power of story and they fear the rise of a powerful storyteller. They're afraid of dissenters coming along and disrupting their carefully constructed narrative. In the days of yore they would label those subverting their narrative control a heretic and burn them at the stake. Today they label them as agents of disinformation and seek to censor them out of existence. But the fear that motivates these responses is the same."

I see that you are off your meds.....

" I’m old enough that I don’t have to worry about the future. But if you liberal pukes get what you want I wish I could be around to see you try to figure out what went wrong.😑" CLASSIC!!!

So, .....you have a problem with "Bone spurs" but you are OK with asthma/student deferments? Is that what you are saying????

In the article below, the author cites his "three reasons people hate Trump" - the Triple S’s: Silly, Subconscious, and Sinister.

Let’s take them in order.

First are the “sillies.” These are people who hate Trump purely because of his demeanor. They don’t like the way he throws insults around, the way he has been caught on tape talking about women, or any of a number of other reasons that relate to personal attributes as opposed to matters of policy or his ability to govern.

The second group of folks with what gets called “Trump derangement syndrome” are those who hate the candidate-in-chief for reasons that are subconscious or subliminal.

There are three main drivers of this subconscious hatred. They are guilt, shame, and altruism.

Donald Trump is unapologetic in his love of country and his claims that America is exceptional and that the needs of our nation and its citizens must be placed first in any and all considerations involving domestic policy or foreign diplomacy. This message resonates with at least half the nation, and the fire and brimstone with which he delivers it explains the energy and enthusiasm found at his rallies. Every Trump appearance feels like the Beatles landing in America in 1964.

There is a third group of Trump haters who cannot be reached and with whom all must reckon.

Those are the sinister ones—the ones who are not conflicted by Trump’s “America first” message but who are instead vehemently opposed to it.

These are the people who are rightly labeled as globalists—people who want America to recede into the middle of a heterogenous, global community, setting its strong nation-state aside and becoming no more significant in world affairs than are the nations of Chad, Azerbaijan, or Guyana. “Lead from behind” is just one of the more coffee mug-ready ideas that they hold, all of which seek to have us become part of Orwell’s Oceania.

These people don’t want to confront China; they want to make money with it. These people do not want to protect our borders; they want to open them so that we can water down our national identity. These people don’t want us to be energy independent; they want to tilt at energy windmills by installing actual windmills and curry favor with the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (two decidedly anti-American and anti-Trump organizations).

This sinister group, hateful of the very thought of American supremacy, simply detests Donald Trump and knows that he has created an awakening among his followers as to their designs to rebuild an unleavened America. They truly hate the man, and they consciously and irrationally want him off the stage.

The author concludes with the following," While my own personal feelings about the former president are mixed, my strong opposition to the third group of his haters is clear and unwavering. It needs to be a sort of political “Great Commission” to go out and make believers not out of all three nations of Trump haters, just the first two."

You state, "it should be noted, it is not a treaty. It was originally intended as such. They changed it when it became apparent it would not be approved by various governments. Please remember, in the United States and other nations, a treaty must be approved by the Senate."

My understanding is the following:
1) The World Health Organization members adopted a set of principles termed the International Health Regulations (IHR) in 1969 [1] to guide the conduct of nations during health emergencies affecting more than one country, especially malaria and smallpox.  The IHR was amended in 2005

2) The International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) provide an overarching legal framework that defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.

While the current IHRs have been considered recommendations and not orders, the members of the World Health Assembly (the WHO member states) decided to amend the existing IHR in May 2022.

3) A total of 307 amendments were proposed during 2022 by 94 member nations. The proposed amendments were first made publicly available in mid-December, 2022 [4] and were republished on February 6, 2023. (NOTE: I am not aware of a final set of amendments that have been released to the public).

4. The proposed Amendments would allow the WHO Director-General to assume the authority to direct healthcare around the world whenever he declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.  He has already declared 3 (for Ebola, COVID-19 and monkeypox) during his six years in office.
Among the new provisions in the proposed IHR amendments are the following:
* Vaccine passports
* The guarantee of human rights has been struck out, removing the words “with full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons,” which are present in the current version of the IHRs
* The potential to enforce certain medical treatments and ban others
* A requirement for biological surveillance (such as PCR tests) to be performed on humans and animals in search of pandemic pathogens
* The requirement to monitor social media and allow only the WHO’s narrative on public health to be transmitted
* The ability to commandeer medical supplies within one country for use by another
* The requirement to share genetic sequences of pathogens, even though this could result in proliferation of biological weapons, which is banned by existing treaties such as Resolution 1540 (2004) of the UN Security Council and the Biological Weapons Convention (1972)

5. Furthermore, the current draft IHRs include no specific criteria for the Director-General of WHO to declare a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).  A declaration could even be made without the consent of the involved nations.  And there are no provisions that make WHO officials accountable for their actions. Equally concerning, a PHEIC declaration can be issued for merely the potential for a public health emergency, and the emergency powers can be extended beyond the end of the emergency.

The proposed IHR amendments raise the possibility of a global health dictatorship, called at the whim of the WHO leadership or the whim of the WHO’s major funders. 

MY COMMENT: While I am not a lawyer, it is pretty clear to me that the intention here is to grant the Director General of the WHO dictatorial powers over health care decisions by amending a PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IHR Agreement reached by 194 member states in 2005. Therefore, to eliminate any confusion or interpretation by say President Biden or some other flunky whether the US is bound by this agreement, the "No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act" MUST be approved.

Tucker Carlson interviews Catherine Engelbrecht (True the Vote) on the issue of illegal aliens voting in the 2024 Federal Election. Up until now, I had been led to believe that it was illegal for a non-citizen to vote in a US election. Apparently, that does not appear to be so!"

MY COMMENT: If you wonder why the Biden Administration is so keen on allowing "illegal Immigrants" to enter our country, this is why. It is also why the SAVE ACT must be adopted before the 2024 election!

"The ink was barely dry on President Biden’s signature transferring another $61 billion to the black hole called Ukraine, when the mainstream media broke the news that this was not the parting shot in a failed US policy. The elites have no intention of shutting down this gravy train, which transports wealth from the middle and working class to the wealthy and connected class.

Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, “Ukraine’s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is “not a whole lot of money for us…” Well, that’s easy for him to say – after all it’s always easier to spend someone else’s money!

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, was far from grateful for the $170 billion we have shipped thus far to his country. In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine as the aid package was passed, Kuleba had the nerve to criticize the US for not producing weapons fast enough. “If you cannot produce enough interceptors to help Ukraine win the war against the country that wants to destroy the world order, then how are you going to win in the war against perhaps an enemy who is stronger than Russia?”

How’s that for a “thank you”? ...

"The US weapons industry and its cheerleaders in Washington DC are determined to keep Ukraine money flowing…until they can figure out a way to gin up a war with China after losing the current war with Russia. That, of course, depends on whether there is anything left of us when the smoke clears.

When President Biden signed the $95 billion bill to keep wars going in Ukraine and Gaza and to provoke a future war with China, he called it “a good day for world peace.” Yes, and “War is peace.” Debt is good. Freedom is slavery. We are living in a post-truth society where billions spent on pointless wars are “not a whole lot of money.” But the piper will be paid and the debt will be cleared."

Then please explain to me how "5 dancing Israeli's" just happened to be cheering and documenting the destruction of the twin towers? Are you saying they are psychic, or had a vision from God telling them to go there and film the event? They went on Israeli TV and said this in their own words. Not wanting to believe something does not make it true!

In this video on the Duran, the two Alex's discuss two articles by Steven Bryant in the Asian Times involving 1,500 French Foreign Legion troops being sent into Ukraine, as well as Russian claims of 3,100 NATO/mercenary forces actively engaged in combat operations against Russian forces.

They also discuss the subject of David Cameron (former British Foreign Secretary) statement that it is OK for Ukranian forces to use "Storm Shadow" missiles directly against Russian territory, and the Russian response that if that were to occur, Russia would then feel entitled to directly attack British military forces in Great Britain, or anywhere in the world.

Finally, they discuss Democratic House Speaker (hopeful) Hakeem Jeffries (5:47) attack on MTG and his comments that we must defeat Russia in Ukraine now, or else the US would be forced to send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia (after the election). Russia meanwhile has begun running drills using tactical nuclear weapons.

MY COMMENT: In my opinion, two of the biggest problems facing our country (along with unfettered government spending) are 1) the US Border, and 2) the neo-con threat of war with Russia and or China (take your pick). Anyone voting for Biden or any other Democratic Candidate (remember them Dems threw out RFK, Jr and Tulsi Gabbard) is participating in the ruination of our country!

Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s Historic Speech Reveals the Forbidden Truth

https://rumble.com/v4sjqbf-eva-vlaardingerbroeks-historic-speech-reveals-the-forbidden-truth.html

“The great replacement theory is no longer a theory - it’s reality.”
“She warned, “No part of Europe may remain European” because of the following reason:

“If the old Europe still exists in certain places, then people will be able to compare the new Europe to the old, and news flash, they will prefer the old.”

Eva’s 12-minute diatribe received a staggering 47 million views on 𝕏.

Watch her historic speech and Elijah Schaffer’s comments in the included video.

MY COMMENT: What is playing out in Europe, is also occuring here in the US. The Biden Administration's efforts to demolish our border by bringing in huge numbers of "illegal Immigrants" is destroying our cultural and placing a huge burden on our economic system. In a sane political world, Biden would be impeached for his flagrant abuse of "immigration parole authority", and lack of border enforcement (and that's not even touching his bribery with the Ukranians and Chinese). He is enabled by the leadership in the Democratic Party, and assisted with the help of RINO's backed by Republican leadership. If we do not put an end to this, it will destroy our country.

MY COMMENT: The "globalists' are determined to ram the WHO's "International Treaty on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response" aka "Pandemic Treaty" down the throats of all the countries of the world. We in the US, can put a stop to this abrogation of our national sovereignty. Here's how:
