I cannot believe anyone is surprised at the report that chemical and surgical experimentation on children is a bad idea. Notably missing from the report on the cost of child care is any suggestion of the reason it is so expensive. So if anyone doesn't understand it, the driving reason is government intervention into child care. On the plus side, it would definitely be beneficial for more mothers to stay home, at least till the kids are in school. Another government institution not worth having.

The idea that a couples life will not change after having kids is laughable at best.

That article about Mike Johnson’s father being nearly burned to death at an ammonia leak really hit me. Around the same time about 1984, my Atlanta FD engine crew responded to an ammonia leak. It was small, and I suffered nothing more than a small freeze burn on my wrist - through gloves - as I was able to turn off a valve. Thanks be to God!

The NR article and the article on progressives funding conservative think tanks are really just part of the overall missing key debate over the state of globalism and the realization of the globalists that they are losing to populist sentiments over the economic damage done to the Western industrialized middle class and low income people. So they are working to obfuscate their position with fake fealty to these domestic economic concerns.

You can see that in the Democrat messaging and agenda… indicating concerns and policy ideas that support the working class while the actual actions of Democrats in control continue to support the globalist march with more harm to domestic working class economic circumstances.

The Democrats are the party of the globalist corporatist Regime. The situation is dire for them… the Global Order is ending because the US can no longer afford it. With $40+ trillion in national debt that is slated to double in the next decade, and a $1 trillion per year trade deficit… with millions homeless and the 8th highest cost of living index out of 160 countries… it is time to stop Wall Street and all the related corporate consolidation from looting of the US to an empty shell.

But the Democrats don’t really support that agenda. They just need media talking points to fake out the electorate that they are on the side of the American working class and poor.

Frank, I agree, when reading that piece! It struck meaningfully to foster an uneasy feeling, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I may be wrong, but my gut says this is a ploy.

I think there are two camps on the globalist side. One is the old conservative view that the US is the superior world leader and that we have no choice but to oversee the seas and involve ourselves in global conflict and as part of that we also need to export our system and for a reward to those countries that adopt our system they get access to our economy. I have more respect for these people even though I think they are ignorant of, or in denial, off the disastrous consequences for the majority of US citizens from the last 75 years of this post Bretton Woods Global Order... including the ways it has been corrupted and exploited by the managerial and administrative elite class. I think Erick is here. Other Republicans beginning with T. Roosevelt shed the US isolationist impulses with this concept that the US was exceptional and needed to rule the world, but not from any traditional violent imperialist expansion method... but as a sort of "we will help you if you agree to behave like we want you to" method.

The other camp is the Wall Street greed side. These are people like George Soros and most of the billionaires like Bill Gates. They know that the World Order and globalism is general is wiping out the economic vitality of the American middle class... eroding middle class economic independence and replacing it with socialism dependence. They know that the US will become a shell of what it once was. But they are good with this as their corporations will continue to consolidate and collude with the global government as a giant corporatocracy where they, the billionaires and their administrative political and government lackeys, will have majority control over the entire global economy. They want those big Wall Street returns from the increasing global consumer market. They need to expand beyond the domestic market returns. Ideally they pre-bet on trends and then manipulate people to comply with the trends though their media and tech control.

This camp is the WWIII axis of power... the enemy of everything good. They are supported by the new gilded class... the top 1%. The top 10% also supports them but is growing a bit more dubious. This corporatist establishment Regime is in control of the media and tech and are using it to sew chaos and put everyone at each other's throats (with the help of the malcontent radicals) so that we ignore their looting and economic destruction.

Joe Biden is their man. Donald Trump is their enemy.

I doubt anyone actually believes "need to export our system and for a reward to those countries that adopt our system they get access to our economy" much less Erick. I believe our system is pretty good as a guide but like anything only as good as those who run it and forcing does work. Nature basically wolves & sheep, I would rather us be the wolf on top like with allies instead of being a sheep no one fears that will soon be roasted. In a direct supervision jail a deputy (USA) actually sits & walks around in there with the inmates with only a radio. He is in control because he can listen, see, feel, get up to date info, etc. to assist in that when before just monitoring from spot checks, control room you couldn't. Now people (countries) being human will start to act up eventually but he can call for back-up (allies) and stop the fight, etc. If by some chance he's not able to do that someone (another allied group) monitoring can assist. We like that deputy cannot survive alone for very long. Just them knowing that the Deputy has allies helps and they will help is a preventive.

So, we need to make better choices no doubt. We need to be more self suffient and bring back medicines, manufacturing, crops, etc. You can't just waste money. As you said in 2nd haft, we have a lot of "Americans" perfectly willing to do destroy anything that gets in their way to make money and we to start working as a group in Congress to have any hope of succeeding..

The protestors for Palestine is the dems agenda chickens coming home to roost. This is the dem party through and through.

I say put forth a bill in congress to officially condemn the protests and see who votes against it. Then you will know.

I am surprised they haven’t used the Palestinian Lives Matter but even better is Israeli lives Matter.

None of those protesters will go to Gaza to defend Palestinians because they prefer the paycheck here.

I've searched my Bible Reference book, but I can't find anywhere it says that MSNBC saying something that makes sense is a precursor to the Second Coming. But we've gotta be DANG close
