What you do seem to be a fan of is being lied to and dutifully and unquestioningly repeating propaganda. So yeah . . . you do you.

Soon thereafter, Carter traveled frequently to other countries to observe their elections. He was "blown away" by the integrity of the Venezuelan elections.

Yep, Carter got beat down and spent the rest of his cognitive years figuring out how to get his "payback." Soon thereafter, Jimmy Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.

Now you know the rest of the story.

What I posted isn't based on the FBI's data.

You shared data from 3 cities. Your argument was that violent crime and crime in general is down across the country. So your information is actually irrelevant.

You're responding with irrelevant "alternative media" comments that aren't even applicable.

So John Solomon isn't a credible source? Please tell me who is. And his comments absolutely are applicable when you are considering nationwide crime and crime data reporting.

There are stories on here weekly about Chicago murders. Where were you in those thread to tell them that data was inaccurate?

A thread about specific murders in Democrat-run Chicago doesn't exactly represent a data set or the country as a whole. Genius.


BONUS: Are you still standing by these "free speech" Hamas protestors all across the country? As they inhibit students ability to attend class and access campus? As they break windows? Tear down American flags? Destroy property?

This was Reagan's second term. In his second term he was not making decisions. His hand was guided by globalist GHWB in his second term.

I gave that intentionally because I knew what obfuscation would be used. It's been the same for 15 years on here. It's nothing novel.

it's one, major example. If crime is down in big cities (where crime is most common), it's a leading indicator otherwise.

I mean we do have overall data to defend my point, but I knew what NPC talking points you'd reply with, as they're the same ones used for the 15-20 years I've been proving people wrong about this exact topic on this site (it's a pet project of mine, along with the Satanic Panic , as I'm an 80s/90s Xennial)

You can bet your sweet arse that muggings, armed robberies, car-jackings, assaults and a whole range of violent crime in Chicago (and just about everywhere else) are higher than reported and are on an uptick as we speak. The social pathologies are manifest and anyone who ignores or denies them is a toadie.

Idealogically both parties ran for the fringes. Reagan would be a RINO according to Trump standards.

The middle needs to take this country back. The party of radical moderates.



One of the best attributes of a dominant two-party political system is that its keeps the true nutjobs out of Congress.

But when you have Illian Omar and Lauren Boebert and AOC and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Cori Bush and the little guy in a wheelchair from North Carolina representing entire congressional districts, that's a dead giveaway tht's someting wrong.

But they were worse in the period I'm talking about (mid-80s to mid-90s).

You shared an electoral college map. It's easy to forget that even after 4 years of Jimmy Carter 40% of the country STILL didn't want Reagan. They didn't want him in 1980 and they didn't want him in 1984.

I'm not confused at all. You have claimed repeatedly that these Hamas sympathizers protesting Israel are just exercising their first amendment rights. Do you still stand by that after what you have seen?

the neocons supported the democrats back then. charles krauthammer was a speechwriter for walter mondale. they saw that wasn't getting them power so they switched over to the republicans. that got them a lot of power. just ask william krystol. he is back to being a democrat now. face it, israel runs us.

What does that have to do with abortions, teen pregnancies, divorces, etc.?

People keep focusing on the crime and ignoring all of the other social pathologies discussed

You're a stooge, dude. There's no other way to call it. You keep lapping it up right through November.

You're creating a straw man from parts of arguments

These protests are about Israel, not "Jews", and trying to spin them as "anti-Sematic" is dishonest. I've been clear on that.

These protests are not protected by the 1A when they violate others' property, persons, etc. I've been clear on that.
