This article dovetails with a report about the Christo-Fascist preaching on the Hill among Evangelical R-klans. “Christ Killing” is what they discuss in the privacy of their theological meetings. This surreal arranged marriage between MAGA Jews like Stephen Goebbels and Laura Looney who cosplay White Supremacy shows that they REALLY don’t understand what Christo-Fascists think about Jews and Judaism. If they really got it, they would run the other way. But hating Brown People trumps their own survival. They think they will always be valued members of the White Fascist Technate….
Some of us have spoken, written, and reposted about this. If we wait for MSM to hold people accountable via their reports, posts, or headlines, you are pissing in a hurricane! We need to do it. Period. Keep up the good work Julie. We’ll get It out there on all SM platforms. I can only trust MidasTouch, Rachel, Nicolle, and Alicia, Michael Steel, and Simone to even mention these things. So keep going. We’ll find you!!!!
Right. This is not a dress rehearsal for fascism. We are in it. We're in a coup. They have attacked us, and not just on Jan. 6, and have taken over our government. I don't think enough people realize it.
The first stage of the counterattack is happening exactly where it should be, in the courts. Another federal judge just issues another injuction in the birthright saga, this one apparently designed to at least address SCOTUS' constraints. It will be challenged, possibly struck down, but another will be filed addressing yet additional parameters. That's the way the "justice system game" is played.
The next stage occurs this November, with two off-year races for governor predominating. If the democrats win big in NJ (of course, they will retain the legislature) and also win in VA, it should provide significant momentum for
State 3 in 2026. THAT's the way that "fascism"--or communism, or conservatism, or progressivism-- is defeated in the US.
Yes there were , Jewish people who fought in the civil war . In fact the Jewish gentleman went to the VMI . Yep in the battle of new market. Moses Ezekiel, served as young man and first American born Jewish. He was well known, artist and sculptor, he lived in Rome Moses fought for the confederacy, he liked states rights. Most of all he made a lot of the sculptor’s we see today. ( Virginia Military institute) . The battle of New Market was won, by Unconditional Surrender Grant . President Grant.
It's incredible that someone who not only fought for the Confederacy, but later espoused the Lost Cause nonsense for the rest of his life, is not only buried in Arlington National Cemetery, but was eulogized by President Harding (OK, certainly the dimmest bulb on the Presidential Christmas tree) as “a great Virginian, a great artist, a great American, and a great citizen of world fame.”
But if the topic is Jews who contributed to the Confederacy, one can't forget Judah Benjamin, who served in Jefferson Davis' cabinet throughout the war.
Vance is much more dangerous than Trump even though what he says and does doesn’t get much media attention. I read Hillbilly Eulogy and one thing about the people he came from struck me. They had a very cynical, mercanary view of life. It was kill or be killed. I can’t stand Vance but he knows how to play a game and survive. What he actually believes who knows. He’s good at bending with the prevailing winds. As horrible as Trump is Vance would be worse. The good news is he has the charisma of a cardboard box. The MAGA’s wouldn’t understand what he’s saying or have an infinity for him. Only the techno bros who want to live in a world I can’t imagine existing in get him because they think just as he does. I don’t personally think Vance is going anywhere politically. He hitched his wagon to Trump but all things come to an end. Once Trump is gone he’s done too.
Vance's mentor is Peter Thiel, billionaire co-founder of PayPal, fan of Yarvin, owner of Palantir. That's all scary. But as you wrote, charisma is lacking.
Thank God Vance has all the appeal of paint drying. None of the techno, brave new world men who want an AI controlled government have any charisma at all. No MAGA would understand them and it’s not just them. They are boring and only each other would vote for Vance or any of these boring people. When Trump is gone so is Vance. The same blind ambition Pence had will lead to his eventual ruin too. Something to look forward to in this nightmare.
For once, I can't find a single thing that you said that I disagree with! Not that previous disagreements were significant, but this time I think you nailed Vance.
Although I must point out that it's "Elegy," and not Eulogy. MAGA might vaguely know about the latter; the former is far too esoteric for the typical NASCAR set. And if they find out it has something to do with poetry, they'll think he's a sissy!
Thank you for correcting my spelling error Kenneth. There’s one in every crowd. Lol My excuse is it’s over 90 here in the high desert today. I was cleaning out my garage and was too tired to proof read carefully. I agree.The MAGA’s would have no clue what Vance is talking about. Frankly I barely do. Vance is boring and I don’t pay enough attention to him to absorb. He has to be the most unqualified and unprepared VP in modern history. Talk about not paying your dues. He clocked in maybe 2 years in the senate and had no political experience prior. Had it not been for the techno bros kicking in scads of money he would never been elected to the senate. I still believe that the good news is all the techno crowd provides nothing the average person can relate to and all of them are dull, including Musk. He can’t string a coherent sentence together to save his life. Successful politicians have lots of ego, confidence, and personal charm. Vance is lacking in all areas. He only possesses too much personal ambition which was Pence’s Achilles heal too. Enter Trump’s orbit and you can expect prison, disbarment, or ruin. In Vance’s case it couldn’t happen to a more deserving individual.
Once again, I suggest Spiro Agnew as comic relief to Vance. But I agree, I don't think that he will excite and ignite MAGA. I shudder to try and think of who might be a replacement, but there's a lot of time to worry about that.
I don’t understand. There were Jewish people who fought in the Civil War. I believe an ancestor of Larry David. Anyway, Vance should learn his own history. I am a Canadian with ancestors among the first European settlers in what is now the US. Am I more American than someone who actually lives there? I don’t think so.
I just pulled off the wall the ceremonial Cavalry Captain's sword that was my great great Grandfather was awarded after the Civil War. The faded black grosgrain ribbon holds the uniform buttons he wanted to preserve with the sword that he was so proud to receive. (Photo below).
My great great Grandfather wouldn't be proud to hear thats the descendants of veterans like himself were considered to be the inheritors of theses United States — and would be horrified that the traitors who picked up arms to wear the grey of the Confederacy were included in that Statement.
JD Vance is capable of being somewhat charming and, when viewed next to Trump, reasonable and sane. But almost everything that comes out of his mouth is so collosally dead wrong as to be mind blowing.
Oh, and multiple members of my family fought for the Colonials in the Revolutionary War and I'm absolutely certain that neither Vance (nor Trump, for that matter) can say the same, not truthfully in any event.
Julie, thanks for pointing out the truth of the matter. I have been getting flack for suggesting on HCRs Substack that we should all be fighting to have states tax their own people and provide all supports, and pay a fee to share the military costs, or have their own militaries, which they pool. States can then also pool resources if they want to. The people who were upset are the ones who do not understand that Trump pretty much told us that he wants to strip all Democrats of US citizenship and then get rid of us. There is no concentration camp system big enough to lock us all up, and what country can he send us to? I guess all of the Black Democrats get shipped to the Sudan, so I am ready to suggest big picture changes.
I also wrote this piece on losing one's US citizenship inspired by what was going on, and appreciative of your recognition as well that we are not safe just because we have US citizenship.
What you are describing was tried once before. It was called the Confederate States of America. And before that, the Articles of Confederation. Either way, doesn't work in the real world.
Trump is merely the useful idiot, who is paving the way for Vance to assume power. Vance is a student of Curtis Yarvin, who has stated,"Perhaps the poor can be used as bio diesel." Vance is financed by Peter Thiel, the Palantir wing nut, who now has all your personal data. Vance will be the devil incarnate, if he is ever allowed to assume full control. The entire Republican regime needs to be purged from power and prosecuted. Unfortunately, it will probably take a revolution to accomplish regaining freedom in America.
This is why I say insist on States rights now, and fight to get rid of Federal taxes. I think many Republicans will agree with this. My state of Illinois has a larger GDP than Belgium which has a similar sized population and they manage to provide all services from their taxes. It would be a model like the Swiss have with large state taxes, and only a token federal tax. Then some of us could have some services.
All that Trump wants to fund is 3 things:
1) billionaires
2 the military
3) ICE
I will do better having my state run things. Then, the fact that Musk, DOGE and Palantir sucked up all our data will be less useful to them. States can then decide gun control, abortion, health care,
Julie-thank you for this. For those ACTUAL history buffs, unlike the truly moronic and despicable VP, they will note the letter from George Washington to the Jews of Newport, Rhode Island basically guaranteeing the Jews safety in the New World. The Touro Synagogue in Newport was built in 1763. Congregation Mickve Israel, in Savannah, Georgia, was completed in 1820 with the congregation having been established in 1733. When researching for my newly released film, Lucky Gideon, I found a Jacob Bernstein had enlisted in the 1st NJ Cavalry in 1861.(His story is part of the film's narrative with some name alterations.) Vance is a clear and present danger to us as Americans now and to our ancestors, who most likely came long before his family did and definitely had a higher commitment to truthful history. https://youtu.be/_hUAAHVYuzA?si=ftihRMC4rxC
It was a deeply moving letter and absolutely the right thing to do, considering the historical abuse of the Jewish people in Europe and the Great Experiment of this Nation founded upon, among other things, Freedom of Religion (and also Freedom FROM Religion).

The fascists start with Jews, people of color, *and sexual minorities*. Look what they are doing to transgender people.

Jen Psaki covered Vance’s atrocity of a speech on her July 9th show.

Glad you made it back safely from Israel. Wonder if you are out of the frying pan and into the fire here.
What you are describing was tried once before. It was called the Confederate States of America. And before that, the Articles of Confederation. Either way, doesn't work in the real world.
That is then, this is now. Dentistry has changed since then too. The devil is always in the details. It works in Switzerland, we could make it work.
If you think it is valid to compare Switzerland to the US, go right ahead! The rest of us will continue to live in something called the Real World.
I am merely thinking outside the box. By my guest and stay in your both Kenneth.
Thinking outside the box is fine, but there needs to be at least a shred of reality associated with it.
Your reality is not mine.
I watched Vance's speech. UGH. The entire comment section was ranting about how he is the chosen one. Scary times.
That’s discouraging.
Yeech!

He has about the same validity as Spiro Agnew had.
