When I hit a pothole while driving here in Cali, I’m reminded of how many billion$ we’ve given to illegal aliens, so they can vote for Democrats who will do nothing to fix our crumbling infrastructure.

Yeah, you can’t sue the city etc for car damage. Want bigger BigGov???

I’ve lived in Cali since I was 5 and am extremely old. I have a sneaking suspicion they’re trying to herd us out of Cali into what appears to be a less insane red state, but then they’ll shift the red state to blue once they have us trapped there in detention centers. Not paranoid much?

The bigger problem is the vulnerability of our infrastructure to foreign agents and domestic terrorists. We’ve been talking about our power grid for decades but nothing seems to be doing about that. How about our bridges; any major highway bridges ready to collapse? And we learned that our air traffic control computers are out of date and need to be replaced. The Demonrats have invested taxpayer money on green energy that is a farse.

What happened to the funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the roughly $1.2 trillion that Congress authorized in 2021 to address infrastructure problems? Much of it was intended to support traditional infrastructure like roads, bridges, rail, transit, water systems, and broadband—yet significant portions went toward the green energy scam.

This green energy scam has contributed to a large transfer of wealth from taxpayers to corporations and executives in those sectors. Meanwhile, if you travel on U.S. highways, bridges, and other infrastructure, it’s clear that much of it remains deteriorating and at risk of further decline.

This is no big deal. It was done deliberately so that the elite class in and around Washington DC would have a place to swim. They weren’t comfortable with the Potomac waters pre-spill and now they feel right at home, diving and cavorting in their natural element.

Milwaukee used dump into Lake Michigan. The Deep Tunnel was then built which doesn’t completely

solve the issue as the concrete used leaks reducing capacity by 1/3. Something happened in 1971 when work quality started to head south.

It’s not just the lack of concern for infrastructure or that we have a thirty year history of buying inferior products from abroad, but a propagandized uniparty programmed understanding that “somebody” will fix it while whistling past the grave yard.

It comes down to a liberal or conservative purview. Take it back to the intentionally tumultuous 1960’s and 70’s when the 60% plus liberal minded youth friendame’d the politically astute universities of Marxian cultural “Revolution” that intentionally divided America to this day, slandered the military and anyone in uniform service to America, oh, and intentionally assassinated the 3K’s that promulgated that faith in America.

These educated and indoctrinated youth cabals took it upon themselves to become the Boomer generation’s leaders going forward, but not before they had hijacked the movements of the day, championing Marx, Castro, Guevara, and Ho Chi Minh communists friendame’s, specifically vowing from the threshold of their political university to “march through the institutions” (Gramsci), as America’s leaders and indeed they did by the 1990’s when their uniparty under the Democrat banner immediately made their old friends China and Vietnam favored nations, simultaneously in liberal fashion assuming that with AI coming there would be no further use for America’s middle class skilled manufacturing sending it abroad to slave regimes. Three decades later, the now wealthy Democrat uniparty gave America DEI hires in everything from SCOTUS to engineering to Socialized body sovereignty killing medicine because AI will take the place of empirical wisdom.

Democrats: “Hire the mentally handicapped, not to worry, we got AI”.

They made names for themselves by claiming false witness against America and the status quo (conservatism), which by its namesake conserves, maintains and protects. Not the perpetually

“Progressive” restless liberal that can be talked into anything if allowed to use virtue as a cudgel, that align’s with fantastic ideology from a captured academia that controls the levers of a burgeoning bureaucracy that works to insulate Representative responsibility. They/them of the collective Leftist ilk take no responsibility, ever, because in their purview everyone is an ideological victim and there are only oppressors and oppressed. They have for six decades matastisized into a systemic cancer of “naturalized” corruption of crime and cronyism, like all totalitarian regimes, conglomerates, and entities run by ideologue's that have little time for peace and maintenance.

Remember, this is why they invented the term “conspiracy theory”, to stop you from remembering. “History, America, the military, and anyone in uniform service for America, cops, fireman, mailman, civil or Federal bad”, including the Executive Branch unless they can control it from within. If not, well we can just go back to the 1960’s to see how that will be dealt with or look at how their offspring deals with it today.

It’s not complicated my Boomer’s: According to the WEF, 1971, DAVOS 1942, and the EU’s WHO/China connection, “It only takes 8% of a generation to revolutionize a country”. We Boomers just in America were 80M strong, minus 8%. The Leftist’s from the 1960’s and 70’s are still with us now retiring with the loot, oops, with thousands of 501-C 3-5 “charitable” NGO gig’s for their offspring in tow, and the most influential institutions, academia, including sister medicine (education, castration of body sovereignty), bureaucracy (Representative’s insulation and regulatory control), tech (propaganda/censorship), and corporate (cultural management to normalize), the four horsemen of the Apocalypse President Eisenhower warned about in full context in his 1961 farewell speech. They have been in control for the past three decades like covert cancer taking systemic control of every American body organ, beginning with attacking the middle class biome to begin with in the 1990’s. Covid of 2020 fit perfectly as a molecular demise for it’s multi faceted purpose. “Get rid of those old Boomers, they know to much like history, and their offspring are dead weight”.

And now we have high school administrators with master’s degree’s that the deep State Leftist’s began putting in place in the 1990’s making $450 K annually today, plus perks (more than the President), that rival the number of teachers of their union hierarchy, and pathetically failing schools of indoctrination favoring Marxian theory, DEI, trans, gender, liberal ism, ism, ism’s, mocking conservative principles and faith, but they own the media that vote 92% for the historic Democrat Plantation Party’s banner that is the uniparty.

The very people we elected from the 1960’s and 70’s of a certain ilk were all in with globalism over “imperial” America, even if they had to burn the cities to the ground, and if totalitarianism is America’s “bestie” was necessary, well, America will never fall apart, who cares about the chaos, I got mine.

That’s the America we had voted for, “somebody else will do it, all we have to do is have the Democrat voting liberals capture the moral high ground by virtue signaling with ism’s”.

The Potomac empties into the Chesapeake Bay.

This is a disaster, it appears, for the lower half of the Chesapeake Bay. Yet, no one mentions that.

Out of sight, out of mind is the name of the game. We can’t see what is going on with the infrastructure that supports transfer of sewage, water and oil, so leaders just ignore it. Even those structures we can see get neglected, such as, roads, bridges and dams. We’ve wasted all this money on solar and wind energy that does little to solve energy problems in most states, and neglected the underground and underwater structures. I live in Michigan and am concerned about the Great Lakes and lakes within the state. The Potomac disaster ought to wake up statewide administrators in every state to take a good look at their infrastructure and do something about it!! Will they?

Yeah, well let’s see now, for the past eleven years since candidate Trump came down the escalator the uniparty under the Democrat banner and their 92% media voter’s and academia have slandered, hijacked and inverted everything that President Trump has proposed and done. 24/7 propaganda, omission, and flat out lies. He has been vindicated over and over in time, but by then the media minions have moved on with new conspiracy’s against him.

Busy everyday people with jobs only see the snap shot’s and sound bites, but the Left’s 20 million replacement and chaos criminals and lunatic’s the WEF sent America over three decades, and the 20 million Hillary was supposed to let in in 2016 by emptying their insane asylums and prisons from South America and dozens of other EU countries that candidate Trump warned about in 2015 and was slandered for by the Democrats has also now happened and the poor wealthy Uniparty under the Democrat banner plays the ism card every time. It’s either Trump or the “deplorable” middle class that the Left raped over six decades that the Left point’s to as being responsible. But to be clear, it is not the Leftist’s that have TDS, but their indoctrinated liberal minions that see it only as an opportunity to virtue signal to stem their own loathsome behavior and for this they rely on the pedo’s of Hollywood that have always hated America.

TDS is not a joke. It is a mind virus for those who would burn America to the ground rather than take responsibility for it because these 8% of Marxian ilk of collectivism, liberalism, and communism begun six decades ago, and fortified by their 1990’s uniparty once the institutions were captured use liberalism’s “pure liberty” of their right’s. A hierarchal theory that there are only oppressors and the oppressed, therefore even the wealthy Uniparty members that are stock market whizz’s and wealthy elite are victim’s who owe no responsibility to anyone or thing, say law, Constitution, family or God. They aspire to self, pure liberty without restraint in pursuit of pure direct democracy’s liberal right’s of mob justice. All they need do to capture the other 92% of citizenry voters is to get them to trust their media.

However as we have seen, the great majority that trusts the current administration enough to elect them on 11/5/24 no longer trusts their media because the outcome of their policy’s have always been disastrous, based on “never letting a crisis go to waste” (Democrat Rahm Emanuel) to demand fungible Fed tax dollars and build bureaucracy’s regulatory power. The people have finally begun to awaken rather than be “worked” more from their long sleep because these Leftist America hating globalist’s have nothing to offer but chaos and failure, but they/them must make it President Trump’s fault or they have nothing except more corruption.

The real question is who will they blame when they no longer have Trump? They have already told America. “First they come for the Saturday people, then the Sunday people”, and the rest will comply, pay homage to their overlords, turn Arlington’s resting patriots into a landfill, and bring in the eugenicist’s

Vote with wisdom during the mid-term’s and demand they require ID, or a non citizen criminal and lunatic will vote for you just like candidate Trump said eleven years ago and many years before that.
