Was very impressive though not surprising. Debated getting tickets to this but had to be in upstate NY this week with the wife. We made an additional donation instead. We are going to win this thing!

I was standing in line with my red Trump/Vance hat on yesterday, this is in the Blue Blue Blue Broward County FL. Kid in front of me in line is a black 20 year old. He asks if he can take a picture with me. I oblige and we go on to talk for 10 minutes about how excited he is to vote for Trump in his first election. It was pretty cool to hear him talk about how excited he is and how his friends are all middle of the road but leaning to trump. He left the store and went to go vote.
He later texted me a pic of his voting sticker. +1 for our team! Wear your gear, get out the vote.

Every person who was at Madison Square Garden will remember that for the rest of their lives.

Those who were also at the RNC will tell their grandchildren that they were an active part of saving America from a communist takeover.

I listened to extensive excerpts from the Rogan – Trump interview. Their enormous appeal, both of them, is that they are authentic. They are not pretending to be someone the audience wants them to be.

Rogan actually listens to what his guests are saying. He's not trying to think of a follow up "gotcha" question, or some comeback that shows how smart, knowledgeable, or clever he is.

I read on X that Trump hinted that he has a "surprise" that "will have a big impact."

I can't wait! Big Grin

Close to 35 million views of the Rogan Trump video on youtube and now youtube is suppressing the video in search results. Lots of comments about this in the comments section. I searched for it, and sure enough, it does not come up in the results.

Fucking whackos! Roll Eyes It's like trying to hide a battleship under a table napkin.

In addition to my prior post, Washington Post owner (and Amazon honcho) Jeff Bezos ordered his editorial dept to hire more conservative writers, to the chagrin of staffers who were already reeling from the paper's refusal to endorse Kamala.

YouTube no longer has even a shred of integrity. I put up a post of Bruce Springsteen talking for four or five minutes at a Kamala rally and then singing. You know when somebody stands up to sing in public, maybe at a party, and they can't sing at all? You cringe and wait for it to be over. That's what it's like when Springsteen sings. He can't even play the guitar.

I put the post up in the Trump thread with a link to Springsteen. When I reposted it the next day in the more relevant Kamala thread I double checked the link. Just Springsteen talking-- no singing at all.

I thoroughly searched YouTube. Every link had Springsteen talking, and then cut out when he is about to sing horribly.

The embarrassment is completely excised.

It would seem as though Bezos, even being very liberal, understands traditional newspapers are dying and will die unless they appeal to a wider audience. I do wish I would have been around when the announcement was made to staffers.

I thought Bezos was a Trump-hating Lefty. If he is, at least he has the business sense to try to save that rag.

So, Mr. G-Man! How's the surveillance goin'? Can I get you a bottle of water? How about a blanket?

Has J. Edgar Hoover’s Spy Program Been Resurrected?
The Bureau Apparently Now Targets MAGA Activists

Richard Pollock
Although the legacy media has buried the story, it turns out that over the last several years the Federal Bureau of Investigation has resurrected a hated and unconstitutional spying program once directed by the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. His program, called the COINTELPRO program, targeted Americans who committed no crime, but simply sought to express their political views.

Former President Richard Nixon directed Hoover to aggressively infiltrate and disrupt many political movements in the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s. This included the Vietnam War activists, the Rev. Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders. They even spied on environmentalists, women’s rights groups and animal rights activists.

According to an exclusive Newsweek expose that was published three weeks ago, it now appears the ghosts of Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover were resurrected by the Biden administration with a new expanded government spying and infiltration program based on political views. The FBI apparently redefined extremism to include those whom the administration determined hold unacceptable political views.
We now learn that during the Biden administration, the Bureau changed its domestic violence definitions from the "furtherance of ideological agendas" to "furtherance of political and/or social agendas." They report that it was a “gigantic departure for the Bureau.”

As Newsweek explained, “For the first time extremist groups worthy of surveillance and even infiltration could be so labeled because of their politics.” The FBI’s main target: Trump MAGA activists.

A review by its investigative reporters of previously unpublished FBI documents shows, “nearly two-thirds of the FBI's current investigations are focused on Trump supporters and others suspected of violating what the FBI calls "anti-riot" laws.”

Although I’m not a MAGA activist, I personally abhor any government spying program against its citizens. In fact, I was a plaintiff in a 1970’s leftwing legal lawsuit against the COINTELPRO program. The United States Supreme Court ruled in the case, called Hobson vs. Wilson, that the federal government’s political surveillance program was unconstitutional.

Under COINTELPRO the Nixon administration sent FBI agents and the DC police undercover agents to conduct surveillance of antiwar and civil rights activists. They even were directed to conduct what was later called “dirty tricks” or disruptions against activist organizations.

In the 1990’s, I filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to receive my FBI file from the bureau. It ran for hundreds of pages. All of it was innocuous information. And I was never charged with any crime.

But when we obtained documents during discovery under Hobson vs. Wilson, it was creepy to read their reports on public antiwar meetings I attended in the 1970’s. I was particularly upset to learn that over several years FBI informants spent time socializing with me and my friends, even hanging out in my apartment. Many times they also espoused weird, provocative and even violent ideas to me. They were provocateurs.

Once, one of the informants threw stones at D.C. Police during an antiwar demonstration that I attended in the nation’s capital. The riot never occurred. But it was unsettling to discover that this law enforcement official tried to spark a riot to discredit us.

Now, however, this type of spying apparently has been resurrected by the administration. In their view, MAGA views are extremist. They had to be met with the force of federal surveillance and infiltration.

Let’s pause for a moment and examine what happens when FBI Field Offices are officially instructed to develop a surveillance and infiltration program to spy on its citizens. We learned about this in documents uncovered during our discovery in Hobson vs. Wilson.

First, they have to covertly examine activist writings. Then they send in FBI agents or informants to attend public meetings. They follow activists. They befriend them. They assign agents to covertly monitor their movements.

In other words, FBI field offices activate a formal surveillance program for each “target.” These are active spy programs. They are not passive.

Under COINTELPRO, they also committed “dirty tricks” or tried to disrupt organizations.

[snip]

But now it appears that the past has become the future. As Newsweek charged, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.”

The news organization concludes that the redefinition “was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau. Trump and his army of supporters were acknowledged as a distinct category of domestic violent extremists, even as the FBI was saying publicly that political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism.”

This is the background upon which I read this Newsweek account. They revealed that in the last few years the FBI quietly changed the definition of people who are supposedly anti-government. Previously, people who were subversive were defined as "anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism.” In governmental bureaucratize, these people were called “AGAAVE.”

Newsweek tells us the bureau decided to create a new subcategory called "AGAAVE-Other.” These are citizens who were a threat but do not fit into its definition as “anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen groups.” Their target was supporters of Donald Trump.

The news organization also told us that “Introduced without any announcement, and reported here for the first time, the new classification is officially defined as domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party.”

Here’s where it gets to those MAGA activists. Newsweek says, “Though Trump and MAGA are never mentioned in the official description of AGAAVE-Other, government insiders acknowledge that it applies to political violence ascribed to the former president's supporters.”

Where are the protests from the ACLU? Or from other progressive groups? Or from Democratic Members of Congress or its party leaders?

Their silence is damning.

Bezos is a smart dude.

Right now President Trump has grounds and support for massive import tariffs. That kills Bezos’ business of bringing cheap shit Chinese goods into America.

Bezos is, undoubtedly, thinking supporting Kamalalalala would be really bad for his business, thus, this every so tiny olive branch to President Trump.

I live in Chicago on the far NW side. many of my neighbors are Police, Fire, Teachers, and high ranking lawyers and Judges and city workers. My area of the City is border line Republican but you will NEVER see any Republican signage posted unless you want to start filling out insurance claims for the property destruction you WILL have.
During election cycles the Dems flood the area with Dem election signage and "Proud Union member" signs.I have a Dem committeeman living across the street who is also a top union official.
This year NOTHING! No signs anywhere to be seen.
My take would be that these people (Dems) can't bring themselves to support Harris, they would probably have supported Biden because he's Irish and Catholic but NOT Harris.
I won't go so far as to say they will vote for Trump, but I figure they will either not vote at all or not vote for Harris but vote for all the other Dems on the ballot. I'm sure some will hold there nose and vote for Harris anyway.

Here, behind enemy lines that would be the best outcome I can foresee. The City of Chicago voting majority Trump would be a Miracle!
I would like to witness a Miracle before I die.

Bezos knows Trump is going to win and is more than likely afraid of media/social media outlets being targets of the DOJ for election interference.

He couldn’t care less about moving the Washington Post off its leftist slant. Otherwise he would’ve made changes when he bought the Post way back in 2013.
