Politics

[spike.t]

Ahh.. the politics thread. Free, apparently, from the poo slinging, scab picking, .404 Jeff wielding, ambiguous Canadian.

I’m looking forward to reading and learning from my elders and more experienced political consumers from the entire spectrum of current events and differing points of view without all the rage.

Since when?....

In the last several years there has been a disproportionate number of Transvestite shooters. Of course the media does not report that, but unfortunately it’s true.

I firmly believe that this is a mental health crisis. It must be devastating to someone going through self inflicted hormonal and physical abuse, to one day come to the realization that, despite all of their efforts, they cannot fundamentally change who they are. The truly sad thing is how the left is complicit and refuses to speak the truth to these folks. They need help and yet they are encouraged to continue down a path of self destruction.

Google Chris Beck Navy SEAL

He was the SEAL team 6 guy that “transitioned” several years ago that has now transitioned back.. his story aligns with exactly what you’re saying…

He thought and was conditioned to believe he wanted to be a girl… he was miserable in life, and all the women he knew were treated like princesses (specifically his mother and sister).. they lived lives of comfort, were fawned over, treated well, etc… when all he had done his entire life was slop pigs on the farm as a kid, beaten his body and mind up as a SEAL, etc… he wanted his sisters life, not his…

Years after transitioning he realized he was still miserable… nothing changed except he now had tits and completely different social groups…

He woke up and realized he didn’t want to be a girl.. what he wanted was just to be anybody on earth other than the man he had allowed himself to become…

He transitioned back, refocused his efforts, started learning how not to be angry all the time, not to be jealous, etc.. sought mental health assistance.. got into all sorts of holistic medicine and herbal remedy routines, and got himself physically and mentally healthy..

He is now a huge “anti” trans guy… speaks out routinely about how the medical community and how leftists are ruining society and harming children, etc…

he’s still an odd, eccentric, and eclectic dude… but he will tell you that he’s the happiest and the healthiest he’s ever been in his life now…

The owners of the Ambassador Bridge should erect a billboard: Welcome to the Oligarchs' States of America. This explains Trump shooting from the hip. Gotta keep those campaign funds coming in. GOP will definitely need the $$$ this year!

Umm once again you validate your complete lack of understanding of American politics and/or campaign funding..

R candidates have already raised $320M for the mid terms (since the close out of the last election cycle)... they have well more than doubled D fundraising.. And almost all of those GOP dollars are coming from a Trump specific superpac that is holding $304M... which gives Trump A TON of control over the funding of various mid term races..

You hate Trump.. and you hate his politics..

Clearly people that donate money into political campaigns dont hate Trump.. they continue to push tons and tons of money his way.. and could care less about your opinion..

the DNC is also dealing with the problem of still carrying $17M in debt from the past Harris campaign..

Take away the superpacs, and look at the parties only.. the RNC brought in $172M in 2025 and is currently sitting on $95M to support mid term elections.. while the DNC brought in $145M in 2025 and only has $14M on hand to contribute to mid terms (and again remains saddled with $17M in debt)..

All of that said, some individual D's have been able to build up significant war chests of their own and wont be nearly as dependent on DNC and superpac funding..

Most of those candidates however are on the lunatic fringe (like AOC)..

Money isnt a concern at all for the RNC or for Trump.. it is a HUGE concern for the DNC and for most DNC candidates..

Well said....

Imagine physically destroying your body all the while your family, mental health professionals, medical doctors and your entire social media bubble are cheering you on as some sort of progressive saint; only to find out that the people cheering on your self destruction were doing so simply for profit and self aggrandizing.

No better example than Jazz Jennings - Started transitioning at 5, with the FULL support of her adoptive parents.

Watch 3:00-6:00 and it's quite apparent that Jazz's real problem is the adoptive mother that diagnosed her child as transgender.

This is tied to mentally/emotionally disturbed wealthy women that are emotionally needy and have nothing to live for other than controlling the lives of others...... transgender mom = HOA President Karen on steroids!

Meanwhile the dick less husband sits back and finances the idiocy because he can't afford a divorce.

Yeah before gender mutation was a thing moms would

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
(MSBP), now officially termed Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA), is a rare form of abuse where a caregiver—most often a mother—fakes, exaggerates, or induces illness in a person under their care (usually a child) to gain attention, sympathy, or validation. It is a form of medical child abuse that can cause serious, long-term harm or death to the victim.

• The Caregiver's Profile: Perpetrators often appear devoted, knowledgeable about medical terms, and eager to work with medical staff. They may work in healthcare themselves.
• Motivation: The primary drive is to receive attention, sympathy, or to feel in control. Unlike cases of abuse for financial gain (malingering), FDIA is driven by complex psychological needs.
• Victim Impact: Victims are often young children, but can be elderly or disabled adults. Victims may suffer from unnecessary surgeries, tests, or long-term physical/psychological injuries.

I just watched Tulsi Gabbard, US Director of National Intelligence summarize the US House of Representatives report of how President Obama directed the false narrative of Russia helping Trump get elected in 2016. The report also mentioned participation of Hillary Clinton, James Clapper and others in developing the Russigate hoax.

Wow! Heads are going to roll...

No one in DC is ever held accountable for anything they do. Fact of life…. Sad really…

My Dear Fellow Sportsmen,

For the last 18 months after the previous pro Indian bootlicking Awami League government was overthrown from Bangladesh on August 5th of 2024… I had been approached by the Interim Government to act temporarily as IGF (Inspector General Of Forests) until an elected government came to power. Despite being 73 years old at the time and against the better judgement of my family, I took the responsibility & came out of my 19 year retirement from the government service because my country needed me again.

Today, I am immensely proud to say that I have successfully completed my tenure as IGF. Fortunately, Bangladesh Nationalist Party has won the elections by a landslide and our country remains free from the evils of Shariah Law & any form of moral policing which Islamic governments are notorious for implementing. I am personally quite pleased with the outcome. While I would hate for my country to become an Indian neocolony again, I definitely would not want it to fall into the hands of anybody who idolizes the Taliban.

It was a wild 18 months; bringing back much needed discipline to the Department Of Forests. We had to contend with poachers, timber thieves, human traffickers, all forms of miscreants (both Indian & local) and Islamists who just can’t seem to leave minorities alone to live in peace. But I succeeded, despite getting shot in the right arm last month (fortunately it was just a flesh wound) and losing two of my men in the process.

Today, I can proudly return to my retirement once more. Spend time with my family & friends, tend to my nursery, lecture my students at the University, enjoy more hunting (OF COURSE !), complete authoring my second book (concerning my African adventures) and most importantly… return to Africa for my next Safari (preferably for a black rhinoceros). The government gifted me a trophy for my endeavors and finally acknowledged me officially as a veteran of the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

If the country ever needs me again, I’ll obviously jump back into the fray. But for now, retirement feels good !

After a long time, I was able to tend to my plants today.
