No ‘trauma bond’ here. Regardless of who is president or in Congress, they’re all corrupted crooks based upon my observation.its just a giant money-laundering operation. I agree with your closing paragraph. The (so-called) ‘US Government’ has become a bloated behemoth.

Mr. Leake: Has it occurred to you that sometimes good people like Donald J. Trump must do the difficult thing? From what I've learned recently, this plan has been "on the table" for MANY years - the Iran incursion. But no President had the guts to do it because they were more worried about their re-electability or some other thing. I hope you will apologize when your fears are not realized.

Good people like donald trump? That's laughable. I'm no democrat but good Lord, do you pay attention to what's going on? It was his executive order that gave the green light for the "new/modern" "vaccines." Its trump working with the homo thiel to get palantir up and running to surveil you 24/7, giving the green light for 6g which has nothing to do with internet, this will work with musks neuralink (chip in your brain that you most limrly inhaled because he doesn't want to stop any chemspraying) and along with gates crypto social credit network (patent 060606) yes 3 6's is going lock you up in your digital prison. He has protected glyphosates and the path for future more deadly pesticides. You really need to come to terms with the fact that your government hates you (the whole pedo uniparty) and wants you dead. That's ehy he said, "take the beautiful vaccine." He also said he didn't care about the epstein files. What kind of monster doesn't care about children being trafficked for the purpose of sex, torture, blood extraction, and impregnation for babies to rape?

Here's the future and it's coming at break-neck speed. He's another bibi controlled demon, no different than any other before him.

Spot on Linda, but I don't suggest that we should hold our breath waiting for him

to Leake an apology when everything turns out to be another win for our great president

and for our great country.

ALL WARS ARE WRONG! Killing begets killing. The US Military and DOD have been involved in the creation of more wars and killed more people since WWI - providing munitions to ALL sides of war using propaganda to create them. US supplied all sides in WWII and were not involved up until 1941 when Roosevelt wanted an excuse for using the atom bomb. He was asked by Hawaiian Queen to move the naval base and military base off of Hawaiin land. Roosevelt refused. She then asked friend, Gen Tanaka to speak to him in November of 1941. Tanaka gave him until December 7 to remove the base or it would be bombed. Roosevelt told NO ONE, as he wanted an excuse to test Einstein's A-Bomb, which massacred over 800,000 innocent Japanese men woman and children ... just for an excuse to enter the war and cover up the fact that they were invested in all sides. This was pre Operation Paperclip, where all high ranking governing positions in all facets of industry and commerce were taken over by Khazarian mafia ... (1930s). I read these translated documents in 1965, which my father found in a deserted Nazi camp in Holland in 1944.

Hillary Anderson's avatar

John, not all wars are wrong. Some enemies refuse diplomatic means to negotiate peace. The threat of nuclear arms held by Iran is very real.

Trump has worked hard to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. He talks about how the tremendous numbers of deaths on both sides (as high as 31,000 a month) distresses him. Just how do you propose another country ends that conflict? Trump is using tariffs to exert influence and to reduce our debt. Those things are within his power and he rightly exerts it.

Trump has closed our southern border ending massive illegal immigration that has introduced all manner of undesirable effects, people and political strife. Illegal immigration has created huge division and animosity in our country. How have we come to the place where the enforcement of immigration law is irrationally opposed? I have been sickened watching normal-seeming people become hysterical and crazed, screaming foul language, trying to injure federal agents and interfere with efforts to remove criminal illegal immigrants from our communities.

Hundreds of thousands of documents regarding Epstein have been released. How long is voyeuristic obsession with that degenerate going to distract people from far more important issues? Why are you participating in that?

Trump is building a coalition of countries in the western hemisphere to insure safety and mutually beneficial agreements.

Trump is demonstrating strength. That is good. Why is it so many have no stomach for enforcing consequences and using military force? It is idiocy to ignore Iran’s threats to America as they re-build nuclear armaments.

Sideline quarterback Trump. But in my opinion it’s not the best use of your literary talents.

prsmith's avatar

I agree, Hillary. We carry a big stick for good reason and sometimes the application of that big stick is necessary. I just hope that we realize the dream we all have for Iran (and Ukraine).

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

agree and by the way:

Thousands of Iranian Americans rallied in support of recent military operations following strikes targeting the country’s ruling authorities, with pre-revolutionary Iranian and American flags seen waving together in demonstrations across the United States.

Houman Hemmati, a Jewish Persian American who escaped Iran’s Islamic revolution in 1979 with family as a child, told The Epoch Times the patriotic surge in the diaspora “ isn’t politics.” It is “ family coming home.”

“ The Iranian American community is not celebrating death, we are celebrating life,” Hemmati said. “The life that was stolen from us in 1979 is being returned to our brothers and sisters in Iran, and we owe that miracle to the moral courage of the United States and Israel.”

Groups gathered in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, chanting and dancing in the streets, many waving flags, photos of President Donald Trump, and handmade signs. Hemmati described the patriotic displays—brimming with emotions, prayers, and tears of joy— as expressions of gratitude and jubilation.

“We are more American today than we have ever been, because America just reminded the world why we risked everything to come here,” he said.

“ We did not come to this country to escape one tyranny only to watch America hesitate before another. We came because America is the one place on earth that still believes freedom is worth defending, and this week, America proved it again.” . . .

Like all of the other fake wars propped up by lies, orchestraded by the world banks, rothschilds, etc.?

Water under the bridge, isn't it.

Trump inherited a whole lot of deep state bullshit.

Either you want the same old Deep State WEF NWO, or you can (possibly) see the potential of coming world peace and a NWO arranged by an elected leader - rather than the globalist de-pop crazed clowns at the WEF.

Odds are good - with the citizenry support of both Venezuela and Iran - almost unanimously, want the U.S. to takeout the evil regimes.

Both countries, are... have been, important to Russia and China. If the new regimes, are anything close to democracies.... Russia and China just had their legs taken out... the evil doers in both countries, won't be around to assist China and Russia in their quest for regional control.

Checkmate, by Trump (America), is on the horizon

Steveo's avatar

You're sadly confused. Trump is the deep state. Everything you parroted is a political boob tube programming. Good luck!

While Russia is weakened from 4 years of war, it's as good a time to put Iran in its place.... China hasn't been flapping their gums too much - laying low.

Wow, you need to turn off the boob tube, it's programmed your brain to believe everything they say, which is a lie.

prsmith's avatar

Who is this 'they' you reference? The propaganda from both sides is thick. AI complicates reality. It can be difficult if not impossible to discern truth and your truth is not necessarily my truth.

That said, if you've got processes to discern the truth, to weed out the propaganda and to determine who is telling the truth, I would dearly love to learn about them?

Steveo's avatar

It's easy. I don't believe anything politicians or the media says, like the politicians they're all operated by israel op's. They do not have America, or any other countrys best interest at heart. They're all to be destroyed, depopulated and repouplated with a different face and the only way to save everyone is to have a new world order, one world government. As the day tapes stated, it's been planned for decades, and "they couldn't stop it now if they wanted to." The grorgia guidestones also told us this was coming, and they were anonymously installed in 1970, and mysteriously blown up a few years back. What they have planned for the future and what they're implementing would blow most peoples minds. They just can't fathom such a sinister, evil machine existing and especially in their government. Even with the content of the epstein files, which is going aways as quickly as every other false flags, assassination attempts, kirk assassination, and on and on. The idea of government is a farce. There are people pulling their strings for a greater purpose, they're greater purpose. It started 100 years ago and it's not going to stop. Everything has been a lie. Good luck.

Kelleigh Nelson's avatar

Read your Bible Steveo. God promises curses and blessings in Gen: 12-1-3. He also called Israel and the Jews, MY PEOPLE. Jesus is a Jew. In Isaiah 49:16 God tells us He engraved Israel in the Palms of His Hands. Romans 11:1 Paul tells us, "I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin." In the first two chapters of Romans, Paul states three times, "To the Jew first and also to the Greek."

Zechariah 2:8 the Lord states, TOUCH NOT THE APPLE OF MY EYE.

The entire Bible is written by Jews save for the Book of Luke.

Be careful Steveo...if the Lord loves them, who are we to hate them? That's obviously not what the Lord desires. Like the NT states, there are good and bad in every group of people, and that includes the Jewish people...we know who they are and the Lord tells us to pray for our enemies. There are also wonderful Jewish people especially those in Israel who work daily to help humanity with their medical advances. They've saved countless American soldiers in the theatre of wars with their advances.

The modern political state of Israel is not a theological lucky rabbit’s foot, who are currently committed to a genocide in Palestine, and the Greater Israel expansion.

Not all Christians believe in the lucky rabbits foot interpretation of Genesis that Zionists do. ( Orthodox and Catholic for example )

S Terry's avatar

The US have created MORE wars using more munitions than all world wars combined. This goes back to Napolean's war. Obama is by far the worst. He is not even American - Barrie Soetoro born in Africa to Ann Dunham CIA who with Lolo Soetoro CIA under guidance of CIA director GHW Bush, between 1965-67 massacred over 300,000 innocent men women and children in search of President Soekarno's gold warehouses intended for the people of the world - claiming he was PKI! GHW took Barrie under his wing and groomed him for President. Barrie-Barrack Obama (stole name and Chicago College student identity) dropped more bombs and killed more people than all world wars combined. Sick world we live in. I have evidence. Shocking when we wake up to Truth.

Texas Evan's avatar

John your conclusion that MAGA is condoning or accepting all of Trump's actions or inactions is false. There is no worship of the man. What MAGA wants is a nation-first agenda, and Trump just happens to be 80% of the way there, a rare president considering all of them have been evil or captured by evil since Reagan. We aren't loyal to the man, we're loyal to each other. None of us will ever get everything we want. If we constantly focus on the 20% we didn't get, then we've lost sight of the big picture. But if we can get most of what we want, thats a win. So when you list Trumps perceived failures, always balance that list by his successes. Let's figure out how to get the most wins possible for 2 more years. Let's vote like children depend on our choices. Let's pray because our lives depend on God. So I challenge you to provide a balanced perspective rather than a hopeless or divided one.

He's an israeli puppet, israel first president. Wsnt to know who is behind all evil, find out who you can not criticize. There are bills being written to make it illegal to criticize israel/jews, and by republicans.

I believe we need to give Trump and his administration more time. There are four quarters here, so we’re not even up to half time! I think he’s accomplished a LOT in the “first quarter”…more than any other President, so let’s give him a chance to continue his performance in the time ahead and THEN judge the outcome of the game.

We have enough qualified persons in this Country that we should be able to create a government for THE PEOPLE run on a volunteer basis…then the graft and corruption would stop…NO FINANCIAL GAIN for our gov reps! Period. Term limits at best…

Steveo's avatar

Yep, break it all down, top to bottom. We don't need to be giverned and in particular by the lying, thieving, corrupt pedo uniparty. It's a sheep mentality. If there has to be a government, we should know EVERYTHING about them as they are public servants (serpents) and they should know nothing about us as we are private citizens. It's completely ass backwards.

Deborah Teall's avatar

Do we truly know who is and is not corrupt? I don't because I don't personally know them and even some I know I find that they are also corrupt. Just because you know someone does not make them honest and with integrity. I am 60 and have known some individuals my whole life and would never have guess their fraudulent and immoral corruption.

Deborah Teall's avatar

Because of what John wrote you think there is no hope? When you find there is 'no hope' from what someone writes, you need to find others to get additional information from. Continue to follow John as I do because I believe he has good information on some things.

Santini Fan's avatar

John wrote what so many of us are feeling.

While my hope is ultimately in God, the reality is that we were led to believe that this president represented common sense on a multitude of issues. I feel incredibly let down and realize that we have virtually no good options in our elected representatives to implement what we were promised during the election. They represent only themselves and their interests. And we’re stuck with them until we naively hope again that the next guy might actually be telling the truth.

I believed in Trump before. I happily voted for him three times. But I am disgusted, disappointed and demoralized. And I am hardly alone.

Deborah Teall's avatar

Have you looked at everything that Trump has done? Have you looked at everything that he has brought out into the light so we are aware of what has been done in the past? There are so many things. Look at the big picture from the 40,000 view. The Iran bombing is one thing but we also do not know why, unexpectedly, we went in. You cannot narrow everything down to just one thing because you will always be a depressed and/or narrow minded person.

Yes, we can list some good things that Trump has done, but this war negates everything. People will wake up after this drags on and as the full impact of this terrible decision is fully realized.

Kim Hayes's avatar

Return to 'We the People'. IMHO we will restore the Planet from the ground up.

The Federal level has proven to be a total waste of money, time & resources. Lobbyists & Foreign Countries have completely taken over Congress. Thinking Local is not just a slogan. I traveled the world for 20 years making Natural History & Wildlife Films. I learned quickly, everyone's situation is unique, so blanket policies are non-applicable 90% of the time. Plus I learned to ask everyone their opinion. The locals know what does and doesn't work in their area. Plus the words Collaborate & Cooperate need to be re-introduced into everyones vocabulary. These are just small quick fixes, popping into my head. Over all we can see what doesn't work, yet the knuckleheads that make decision keep trying to bake the same cake that already failed 11-teen times. We're entering a period of infrastructure collapse in the USA. We all need to come together , they are a lot of smart people out there. We need to re-imagine everything: all systems- Medical, Educational, Transportation, Agriculture, Sanitation, Energy and on & on.

prsmith's avatar

From the ground up to what, Kim? What would your ideal government look like? 'Local' is basically returning us to the 1800s...Indian tribes, colonies run by foreign governments and religions, tens of thousands of jurisdictions with different laws and rights and governing styles.

I don't disagree with anything you said, I just can't picture it. In your dream, would there be anything that joined everything together and maintained the greatness of America? Would we continue as a single people with a common core culture?

Kim Hayes's avatar

I am unable to give you a perfect example or document to look at since we together , perhaps via 'Think Tanks' we begin to create templates that are malleable. Since it's the rigidity that destroys things. Here is a quick example: In Totnes, England they have created the Totnes pound. Exchange is equal to British pound. It is exchanged locally and used exclusively in the town of Totnes, so as to develop & keep a small local economy. It is thriving. There are multiple example spread out of these tiny start ups. prsmith please know I am not claiming to be a genius and I have all the answers, yet I do know, what we currently are experiencing does not work and has not worked for a very long time. We need to rip the band-aid off and experiment with options.

I'm not saying we should all go live in a commune and practice a big kumbaya hug and everything will be groovy! As you mentioned , we are a great nation and through incredibly Bad Management things have gone terribly south. Course corrections are needed in so many areas.

When people experiment locally and have successes this can sometimes be extrapolated outward , naturally with tweaks applicable to the next scenario. There is a saying in Permaculture, The Problem is the Solution!

The examples to back that up quickly that come to mind are one in China, TheLoess Plataeu which is 640,000km2 plataeu and it was severely eroded damaged and barely useful. A group went around and spoke to everyone across the land and got their opinions on what they saw that worked and what didn't in the area of agriculture. They condensed it all down and created a master plan. In this scenario the people were the problem so the people became the solution. They were hired to implement the plan of restoration. They were then given title to a piece of land, so they had some skin in the game. and certain rules & regs were put in place like no more free ranging goats as they destroy the landscape. If someone wanted to keep goats they had to get the fodder, branches, etc. and bring it to the penned goats. Lots of old timers went nuts, this plan won't work, it's stupid. It took 10 years and this Plateau has been completely transformed to a lush garden of high productivity. This example exists on YT, John Lie and the Loess Plataeu.

I know that was a governmental example, yet I could dig around and find a Medical one for you probably in short order.

I'm an Optimist and I know we can do this, the time has come. I revert to Buckminster Fuller a visionary:

You Never Change Anything By Fighting It; You Change Things By Making Them Obsolete Through Superior Technology.

prsmith's avatar

I agree that things are not perfect and need to change. Your example re. the Loess Plateau is a good one. I do not agree that we need to burn it to the ground and start over. We're 250+ years into this experiment which has proved to be the best ever invented with a balance between freedom and organized control. Let's focus on making the necessary modifications to right the ship but, to mix metaphors, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Isn't that the thrust of your last paragraph?

Our focus should be on rooting out and destroying the dark forces that drive us toward globalization and central control that we all know will be bad for people and will eventually fail disastrously.

Kim Hayes's avatar

I agree with you. We make obsolete the things that have out lived their usefulness and that might include people, ideas, concepts, agreements and all around systems that don't function.

Just throwing this out as an example of circus distractions....... We had minute by minute coverage of people discussing nothing or what nothing another person said regarding this missing Nancy Guthrie event. While tragic, yes. Every overpaid script reading journalist in America all of a sudden became Inspector Clouseau and knew more than everyone on the planet about nothing. I was forced to listen to this drivel, because I was caretaking a friend's 83 year old mother and she was totally enraptured in the event. Since she refused to put her hearing aids in even when I went to the other end of her condo I could not escape the nonsense. I feel sorry for the family and the woman kidnapped, yet I am (forgive me) almost more moved by the fact that 2,300 children go missing in America everyday and they get ZERO media coverage bc their parents aren't employed by a News Network.

So, yes....much hubris to clean up & clear out and right our ship! I also digress....both parties do eat out of the same trough. And the pretense that America is peddling 'Democracy' in other Nations is a giant Baloney sandwich! Besides, I for want want no part of a democracy. That's just Mob Rule! That's 2 wolves and 1 sheep deciding what's for lunch. Cheers!

The military action in Iran was not the start of a new war. It will, hopefully, end a war that Iran has had against the US for over 4 decades. It was Obaminable and Bidumb who set up the conditions for Russia to invade Ukraine. Trump has tried to diplomatically end the war that Bidumb and our European “allies” helped to propagate. After multiple assassination attempts, you’ve gotta know that draining the swamp/sewer is no easy task for this president. You see, unless you are blind, the the TDS Demonrats are fighting everything that Trump does. That they hate Trump more than they love America. Actually, they don’t love America and have embraced Marxist ideology and are bringing this country down. I, too, am disappointed that Trump has not denounced the COVID jabs. I’m glad that he spoke out against the insane number of “vaccinations” given to children and that his administration has modified the childhood vaccination schedule. But, as you know, medical organizations are fighting this and recommending their own vaccination schedules. I’m disappointed that Trump supports IVF. I see two sides to Trump. On the one side, I see the greatest president ever; on the other side, I see someone who has shown loyalty to people who are no longer serving him well. He needs better medical advisors.
