    I'm wondering if it's the conservative states are not feeling the pain the liberal states are. I know just north of us in Michigan they are very liberal and have much more grief than we do. The have an added 45cent tax on gas to 'fix the roads' that was implemented four years ago. The roads aren't fixed btw. Mich is using fear mongering against Pres Trump, too. Always coming out with outlandish news to keep everything in an uproar. They also allowed marijuana in the state to increase revenue for the state and there is an uptick in mental illness. They are very liberal with abortion etc. Not as much as Ca and Oregon and Washington, but very liberal. Yes, I see two definite camps splitting the country. Will see how it shakes out. I heard we should see much better outcomes by the middle of summer, maybe gas will come down. That would be nice.

    I have heard that this is the case generally speaking, but I think it depends on the state. For example, most blue states are over 3 bucks a gallon, while most red states are under 3 dollars. California being 4.75.

    You are blessed to be living there. As a lifelong resident of MA it is absolutely heartbreaking to see how far our state has fallen.

    Interesting how there are pockets of conservatives in liberal states. There was only one small city in southeastern MA who voted for Trump, a Catholic town too.

    For the Europeans here, so that we can once again be a little outraged by our representatives. If I would have direct access to politicians in my country, I'm afraid I would find it difficult not to slap them.

    This video shows everything that has fallen out of balance in Europe: missing principles, lack of value orientation, lost sense of honor, and absent self-protection. A terrorist who was at least passively involved in the murder of Alawites, Christians, Druze, and other minorities is welcomed in France like a statesman. The slaughter cattle embraces its butcher.

    President Trump is reportedly preparing to issue a declaration recognizing Palestine, according to a Gulf diplomatic source. The move comes amid escalating tensions between Trump and Netanyahu, following the Israeli prime minister’s alleged attempts to derail American nuclear negotiations with Iran.

    Yes. I noticed Pres Trump’s sil Jared K is not on the team anymore. I don’t think Trump is a Zionist I really believe he wants peace.

    Dear Mario, did you make this video about Our Lady of Donglu? I recently showed this to my wife, not knowing it is from you. My wife is Chinese and often thinks God forgot about China.
     
  14. anybody see this? I had to watch several times because I didn't see what others saw, but the implication is that they were doing cocaine and sheepishly hid the spoon (Merz) and the bag (Macron) disgusting leaders of the world, including Trump. May God help us with better leaders, LORD hear my prayer.

    Insane. No wonder we are in so much trouble geopolitically.

    What some people very aptly describe as 'Clown World', the insanely inept leadership of most of our Western democracies, is in increasing trouble. Starmer is performing u-turns on immigration, but it is far too late to save him and the German intelligence agency (=stasi) has abandoned its persecution of AfD.

    The jig might be up, please God. They don't even have the support of the Catholic Church anymore.

    Stasi is the right term for this institution. This (unintelligent) intelligence agency acts according to political directives and is misused by those in power to discredit the opposition instead of protecting the country. Various things are/were illegal. In the next few days, the Ministry of the Interior will be forced to publicly announce that the statements on the AfD were unlawful. However, this will be concealed in the media and the majority of society will remain confirmed in its distorted perception.

    Despite the media bias, the numbers supporting AfD seem to be growing inexorably.

    This is because former Chancellor Merkel's party has still not understood that the voters voted for a conservative change of government. Merkel had transformed the party from a centre-right party to a centre-left party.
    The new Blackrock chancellor Merz does not dare to form a coalition with the AfD because that would simply lead to media headwinds (the german past makes it possible to raise fears of a new Hitler era).
    The problem is the same as in many other countries. The evaluation of political positions has shifted very much to the left, with conservatives being labelled far-right by the media. The political positions of the AfD are conservative and almost identical to what the CDU represented before Merkel and was legitimate at the time. Nowadays that is extreme. Now Blackrock-Merz is back in a centre-left alliance and will continue to lose voters because people actually want to get centre-right. I suspect there are new elections not too far away.
