    Insurrection Riots: Finding The Funding

    in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

    Posted

    If this is as wide spread and as blatant as I read on here regularly it should be a piece of cake that even Barney Fife could find.

     

    Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out there are agitators/funders on both sides and maybe hard to tell apart.

     

    Catch and prosecute all protesters/agitators/funders that are breaking the law regardless of political persuasion.

    Incompetence is fixing the roads after the tanks drive over them? Do you not want them fixe

     

    Personally I would rather see them not fugged up in the 1st place.  President Trump was elected to get spending under control and start paying down the debt.  This $60+ billion would be a nice 1st payment.  

     

    I can remember a few months ago when Elon Musk was bragging as were many of his followers here when he found a 5 million dollar contract he could get us out of.  Now its just, oh well, its only 60 mil. No biggee.  What happened?

    The United States of America to Honor the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army

    with a Grand Military Parade and Celebration in Washington, D.C.

     

     

    On June 14, 2025–the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday–the nation will honor its legacy with a grand military parade in Washington, D.C. President Donald J. Trump will join veterans, active-duty troops, wounded warriors, Gold Star Families, and Patriotic Americans from across the country to celebrate our heroes who have protected our country through strength and selflessness. Tickets for the Parade and Celebration are available through America250’s event registration portal.

     

    This historic event will commemorate the legacy and enduring strength of the U.S. Army, while looking boldly toward the next 250 years of American patriotism and technological advancement. The event is designed not only to showcase the Army’s modern capabilities but also to inspire a new generation to embrace the spirit of service, resilience, and leadership that defines the United States. The parade will trace the Army’s evolution from the Revolutionary War through to the U.S. Army of Tomorrow. Attendees will experience 250 years of Army heritage through historical U.S. Army personnel reenactors, period-accurate equipment, vehicles, impressive flyovers, and military bands participating in this landmark event.

    Plans for the parade, as first detailed by The Associated Press on Thursday, call for about 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 helicopters to follow a route from Arlington, Virginia, to the National Mall. Until recently, the Army’s birthday festival plans did not include a massive parade, which officials say will cost tens of millions of dollars.

     

    But Trump has long wanted a military parade, and discussions with the Pentagon about having one in conjunction with the birthday festival began less than two months ago.

    Yay and congratulations to the US Army for bravely defending our country for 250 years.

     

    Boo to the YUUUUGGGGEE military parade wasting tens of millions of dollars. The Army doesn't need nor did they even want it. I thought we were trying to pay down the debt to save our country after decades of mis management of Democrat Presidents.

     

    The price of the parade obviously wouldn't pay off the debt but at least it could make a down payment.

     

    This is just another boondoggle massive waste of money which we see so much of from this administration.

     

    Sadly I will have to miss it cuz I have other engagements.

    Why does your second point matter?
     

     

     

    Nobody that lives in the region (Palestine/Isreal) wants a 2 state solution.  They both want a 1 state solution.  The only ones that want a 2 state solution are you and other western do gooders.

    Nationalization of Industry: The Nazi Party platform included calls for the nationalization of certain industries and profit-sharing.

     

    State Control of Welfare: They expanded social welfare programs, although these benefits were primarily directed towards "Aryan" Germans.

     

    Anti-Capitalist Rhetoric: Nazi propaganda frequently criticized "capitalists," particularly those associated with Jewish people or international finance. 

     

    Their overall goal was a one world government just like what the Dems push for today.

     

    Maybe they did have some socialism cross over just as the US does (SS/MediCare/Medicaid/Student Loan forgiveness/SNAP/WiC/Space program/etc) but that doesn't make us socialist I wouldn't think.  You're mileage may vary.

     

    The reason this caught my eye is I'm currently reading The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard Evans. All of this talk about Hitler and Nazis made me interested in studying up a little on the subject. Richard makes the case the Nazis weren't socialists.  It was all about racism and the Aryan race and power.  Also the total and utter disfunction of Germany and it's governments after WWI and played a huge factor as well.

     

    Anyway, I suppose we can all have opinions on it.  I'm gonna lend a little more credence to Richard who researched and wrote a 3 volume account of the Nazis over some guy on the internet.

    Hitler as the Scourge of Socialism

     

    Richard Evans, in his magisterial three-volume history of Nazi Germany, is quite clear on whether Hitler was a socialist: “…it would be wrong to see Nazism as a form of, or an outgrowth of, socialism.” (The Coming of the Third Reich, Evans, p. 173). Not only was Hitler not a socialist himself, nor a communist, but he actually hated these ideologies and did his utmost to eradicate them. At first this involved organizing bands of thugs to attack socialists in the street, but grew into invading Russia, in part to enslave the population and earn ‘living‘ room for Germans, and in part to wipe out communism and ‘Bolshevism’. 

     

    The key element here is what Hitler did, believed and tried to create. Nazism, confused as it was, was fundamentally an ideology built around race, while socialism was entirely different: built around class. Hitler aimed to unite the right and left, including workers and their bosses, into a new German nation based on the racial identity of those in it. Socialism, in contrast, was a class struggle, aiming to build a workers state, whatever race the worker was from. Nazism drew on a range of pan-German theories, which wanted to blend Aryan workers and Aryan magnates into a super Aryan state, which would involve the eradication of class focused socialism, as well as Judaism and other ideas deemed non-German.

    I would really Love to see/hear someone play that pipe organ sometime.  They have rolls like a player piano for it which are cool but would rather see someone actually play it.

    Democrats are the actual party of Nazis. The Nazis in Germany were socialists. And today's Nazis accuse other people of being Nazis while doing Nazi things like funding Planned Parenthood (whose stated goal is killing as many black babies as possible), protesting on campuses and calling for death to Jews, running socialist welfare programs to keep black people controlled by the system, mandating experimental vaccines and treatments and locking down anyone who disobeys, and supporting senseless wars all over the globe. Pure evil!

     

    Hitler would be proud of the Democrat party.

     

    I don't think this is true. Their name had "socialist" in it but that was spin and marketing hype.

    Were the Nazis socialists?

     

    No, not in any meaningful way, and certainly not after 1934. But to address this canard fully, one must begin with the birth of the party.

     

    Quote

    To say that Hitler understood the value of language would be an enormous understatement. Propaganda played a significant role in his rise to power. To that end, he paid lip service to the tenets suggested by a name like National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but his primary—indeed, sole—focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda.

    Raise taxes on the wealthy and stop giving ICE goons raises 

     

    How wealthy is wealthy?  Raise it how much?

     

    We have a $1.8 trillion deficit in 2025 according to the budget office.  We have 735 billionaires in the US.  Even if each one paid a billion in taxes we'd still be a trillion short.  

     

    Sounds good, but how do you see this penciling out?

    Happy Memorial Day!

     

     

     

    I was at the VA Hospital yesterday for an appointment.  While I did receive my usual excellent treatment there, I did notice a couple of things.

     

    1. They had in the hall in the past pictures of LGB veterans or people that work there.  They took them down. I was expecting that and whatever but it looks as if they were just ripped from the wall.  The scars are definitely visible.  I guess fixing it would be a waste.  We probably need that money to fix up old airplanes or build a dance floor in the Rose Garden.

     

    2. As I was walking down the hall I saw a group of employees chit chatting.  One said (not an exact quote but really close) "whenever we try to do anything we have to go through DOGE and it's a real pain in the neck.  Now maybe if you have an inside connection to Uncle Donald you can get it."  This is the first time I've ever heard employees bitching there.

    James Comey to be investigated for posting “8647”

    😂 The point, which clearly sailed  over your head, is that Comey inspired copy cats that FBI agents as part of their job now must address.  

     

     

     

    And my point sailed over yours evidently.  For a cop I'm sure it would be nice if people didn't do things he has to investigate. That way he could hang around the office and eat doughnuts like Andy and Barn did.

     

    If it's too much trouble for him to investigate things maybe he should go back to his radio show.  Dumb move by Stretch, but I don't feel sorry for Dan.
