Jeff, I wish I could concur, but even in little ol' podunk Nevada the citizens don't have influence, let alone control. Anywhere power over people exists, corruption also exists. Real statesmen are gone for the most part, and those who remain have no voice because lobbyists and special interests are in charge. Pay to play. And I'm not in the club.
I wish I had better news, but from the city to the county, state to the federal, The People are cooked.
The government—our government—is made up of people. For the most part they are real freedom loving patriotic Americans. At heart they are in many ways even still today, I believe. They, like us, have become disillusioned as well. They, like us, are looking for answers; for light. But that doesn’t mean that once answers and light show themselves that it will automatically rise to the top—that would take something like a miracle i think. As soon as something or someone pops up in some movement, more powerful forces move in to commandeer them. When casual infiltration doesn’t work the psy-ops begin. When those don’t work, assassination comes in.
Scripture tells us that a Revived Roman Empire is ahead in the last days. A horrible Satanic kingdom that will rule the world under Antichrist for a short season. Rome (Roman Catholicism) is at the center of this. But when it will finally come, and what Americas role is in resisting it is not predicted. Our appeal is to Heaven. Keep us free oh Lord.
MTG was a firebrand all her own. That at some point it did not align with Trump is not really surprising. Nor is it surprising that MTG for all the good she did in raising issues and holding politicians accountable has “burned” out. At some point, no matter the profession, the firebrand flames out. Energy, fighting the fight and ultimately the changing landscape of the fight runs its course. I wish she would remain as she is a politician true to her beliefs. As for Trump, the Epstein files and not releasing them until Congress voted on it…any thought that Trump was playing the long game. He has consistently said he has nothing to hide, MSM and Dems insisted he was involved, Dems would have used that info in the last election if true and now the Dems seem to be backing away from the big reveal…makes now wonder!
Oops, cut it off too soon. “All politics is local.” So said someone somewhere sometime in America. It’s an old saying and a maxim I learned long ago. I don’t even remember where I learned it. Probably from some random political commentator—maybe even a Democrat—yikes! My evaluation of this truism after 30 years of pondering, where, I must admit that at first I had no idea what they were talking about, is that you can’t get started in politics without starting locally. Or at least, the locals in a community will have to agree to your being promoted in politics for some reason before you advance nationally. I guess that’s one characteristic of American Democracy (even though we are not a pure democracy, but a democratic republic, etc etc). Can anybody think of an exception to this rule of “all
politics is local?” Maybe Trump was supposed to be an exception, I don’t know. He certainly does not represent most of New York City today (which I’m thankful for). He was supposed to be an exception to a lot of things; turns out he’s extremely corrupt himself. I knew he was extremely immoral in the past, which I was willing to overlook if he had become wise enough since then to steer the country back to its Protestant/Baptist roots; but I didn’t know he was so corrupt and dangerous until he promoted Brett Kavanaugh. Then I knew something was radically wrong. And he has evidenced that he is not wise enough to steer the country back, and never actually had any intention of doing that.
When he ran for re-election, Trump promised to release all of the Epstein Files. After he won his second term, Trump did a 180 and said the files were a hoax. So, the DOJ under Trump didn't release the files for months.
In light of his actions, can you blame people for thinking Trump is part of a sex trafficking ring?
The only reason Trump and the DOJ are now releasing the files is because Congress voted for such action after much public pressure.
I don't think Trump is part of a sex trafficking ring. But I can't knock those who do, especially given the lack of transparency and the lies he's told.

I'm well aware. Most of my investigative reporting involves corruption at the local level.
Why do they get away with it? Mainly because most people are more focused on national politics than local.
I still maintain that one has far more influence over their local governments than Washington, DC.
I can't even get financial transparency from my Little League board without filing police reports...

I think you're right. I was never a fan of Greene's, but she has been right about much of what she's been saying.

You’re calling Pres Trump the most notorious sex trafficker? Shame on you for spreading false information. How rude, you have no proof.
That...is what you're taking from this article?
