About AMAZON and using alternative merchants...

It's not an all or nothing proposition. It's not a purity test. Sometimes there is no alternative. But, when possible, use an alternative. If we all do this, the message will be sent, it will be heard, and it will be felt.

I'll end with R.I.P. Washington Post. It seems Bezos has gutted the iconic newspaper.

Stay strong. RESIST!

Steve Schmidt and anti Trump former Republicans are going to spend $110 million to flip the House to the Democrats

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/08/anti-trump-former-republicans-have-a-multimillion-dollar-plan-to-save-house-democrats-00680114


'Anti-Trump former Republicans think Democrats are squandering their chance to flip the House — and they have a $100 million plan to save them.

On the heels of overperformances up and down the ballot this year, the Save America Movement, co-founded by former Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt, wants to pour up to $100 million into as many as 60 GOP-controlled House seats ahead of the midterms.'

The ambitious strategy for the Democrat-aligned group, shared first with POLITICO, is the group’s first foray into electoral politics after it has spent significant capital protesting President Donald Trump’s return to office, which it deems a fundamental threat to American freedoms.

“The Save America Movement was started with the express mission of defeating MAGA, but the electoral side, particularly the 2026 elections, are absolutely critical to that mission,”

Just a thought about Epstein & Trump 'package', as they say...

I've read that both these men had penile dysfunction/disfigurement (it's out there if you search). You know who else had the same problem? Hitler. Draw your own analogy.

'DARK SECRETS of TRUMP AND PUTIN in Epstein Files REVEALED!!!'



'MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the references of Putin in the Epstein files and the connections with Trump.'

My words: Meiselas goes through the files and makes the Putin, Trump connection with some help from folks who dived into the trove of documents. Riveting. 23 min.

'Krassentein' on Substack is posting witness allegations about Trump in the latest Epstein files dump...

It's vile, just absolutely vile. Difficult to describe how disgusting this is. If true, they auctioned off these young girls.

If Cops Demand Your Window Down, DO THIS...



My words: Given the environment we now live in, you never know what's going to happen out there. The most important step is: When asked to exit your car, do so and LOCK the door behind you.

Marc breaks down:
– When rolling your window down actually helps you
– Why refusing to exit your car is a huge mistake
The exit-and-lock strategy that keeps cops out of your vehicle
– Exactly what to say (and NOT say) on the roadside
– How to deny consent the right way

This isn’t about arguing with police.
It’s about protecting your rights and giving your lawyer something to work with later.

Just Don't Open The Door.



If someone yells “POLICE,” do NOT just open the door.
One wrong move could get you or a loved one detained—fast.

In this video, attorney Marc Lopez breaks down what to do if ICE or law enforcement knocks on your door and tries to get you outside. You’ll learn the two most dangerous front-door situations: the “boot in the door” tactic and the lies/“Trojan horse” ruses law enforcement agents may use to trick you into opening up.

Springsteen: 'Streets Of Minneapolis' with lyrics.

&list=RDwWKSoxG1K7w&start_radio=1

Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight

In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
