Nikki Haley: Has become the Chris Christie of the Republican Party, nothing but Trump bashing. She is staying in the race in the hope something bad happens to President Trump with the charges against him, by certain leftist democrats.

But lets see what happens after she looses her home sweet state of South Carolina by a considerable margin on election night. or if she stays in the race and then drops out, if certain leftist democrat donors of hers drop her and certain Republican donors drop her.

There cant be any political deal on illegal immigration with Biden and the leftist democrats. Biden and his people created the US open borders illegal immigration crisis. By destroying President Trump's, remain in Mexico Policy, remain in Guatemala and other nations Policy. By catch and release, and parole millions of illegal migrants into the USA. By going after Texas illegal migrant policies. There does not need to be any number of illegal migrants, for this law or any law to kick in. Because one illegal migrant person, is one illegal migrant person too many. He can undo all of his illegal migrant, open borders policies if he wants too. Biden is Playing Politics.

We all support Israel and the Jewish People, against the Hamas fighters who did the terrible acts against the Jewish People of Israel. President Trump and me, GMS Cuban are strong supporters of Israel and the Jewish People.

President Trump is popular in Israel, has many places named after him in his honor in Israel, and he even has Jewish grandkids in his family.

All American Presidents have responded with military actions against forces who have attacked American soldiers all over the world. It is the right thing to do.

All American forces have the right and need to defend their self's.

The government of Iran is not our friend, they are our enemies no matter what.

Just like the eternal communist socialist dictatorship government of my native Cuba, who say they are the continuity of the eternal revolution this statement says it all and proves it all.

Just like the eternal communist socialist dictatorship government of Maduro in Venezuela. Maduro once said when will they, the political bourgeoisie opposition going to learn the revolution is here to stay, this similar statement says it all and proves it all.

In both nations the communist socialists, political leadership live like rich $ upper class capitalists. Like I have proven with links in the past.

But Biden and his people are afraid of being too tough on Iran, because of x number of leftist democrat supporters of the Palestinian Arabs and Arab Americans supporting the Palestinians of Gaza and the Hamas fighters, especially in Michigan and other US states during this election year of 2024.

I think there are persons who confuse Republican Neo Cons with leftist democrat new world order globalists, they are not the same or similar. Leftist democrat globalists, are Pro leftist democrat policies all over the world.

Republican Neo Cons are Pro USA, economic and political interests all over the world. They support nations who support the USA. Are Pro Peace Through Strength.

Most Republican Neo Cons, don't want war at all costs, only when there is no choice left.

Don't confuse Republican Neo Cons with leftist democrat new world order globalists. They are not the same or similar to them.

US Military spending $ does help the US economy. I used to work under Republican President Ronald Reagan, at Northrop Grumman US Defense Systems division in Chicago's 2 suburb locations, I am very proud of it. I helped campaign for him twice. We had so much overtime work at our work room, we could hardly walk into our work room. At great Pay $ and great corporate benefits.

Like a 401 K account, stocks and bonds purchases, and no deduction from my paycheck for health care, I just paid x amount when I visited the doctor, which was not often.

Agree with everything except that neocons are not pro-American, they do not put Ameerica first and wish to spend our money on more pointless wars.

Some (not all, but certainly a preponderance of those in the beltway) neoconservatives and moderate GOP are very anti-American in the sense they do not understand that what they are advocating is unamerican Rhodes-ian "make the world safe for democracy" Ugly American foreign policy; the very unamerican Keynesian/Modern Monetary Theory garbage; the most unamerican fractional reserve central banking run by treacherous oligarchs; and an incredibly unamerican corporatist schema forced on us by Progressives during the late 19 century to the 1960s as a straw-man for Conservatives to adopt (which we stupidly did). -- Regarding the corporatist schema Trump (to my astonishment), said that he would abolish it starting with the so called Johnson Amendment -- and Ramaswamay openly relishes totally dismantling the infringing mess.

Most neocons do not want a to return to a "trade and exchange with all nations as friends in peace" -- that is a Washington through to Teddy Roosevelt "more Switzerland/Sweden general framework" foreign policy sans the Jingoists and Polk. In practice there is a resistance of adhering to the doctrine of Congressionally declared war only when peace fails. It has been so long since we have practiced our own principles as Americans, that many do not see that what they are advocating is the use of subterfuge and brute force as SOP foreign policy as the World Hegemon (things of tyrants and warlords not fit for civilized nations). America first doesn't mean America first in freedom but first in power even if it means we sacrifice our freedoms to gain security and dominance. The passage of the Patriot (in name only) Act, and the Homeland Security Act championed by Neoconservatives who are trying to create and keep a globalist corporatist hegemon (because of them) is the definitive point in American history where our children and grand-children will say, "This is when we ceased being a free country and started becoming an authoritarian police state."

That has been my experience. My grandfather, step-mother and I have worked very hard to rid the GOP of the moderately socialist industrial corporatism (not to be confused with the converse, industrial objectivists) that has been encouraged by the Rockefellers, Romneys, Bushes, Cheneys, Hatches. These beliefs have no place in the party of abolition (no one should be beholden to owe no other man any other thing including the government) and republican self-governance, which is routinely denied in deed if not word as well.

Neoconservatism leadership has been responsible for the betrayal Goldwater against LBJ and then again to Nixon, Reagan for Ford. They tried again in 1980 to betray Reagan to Bush, blacklisted Kemp, betrayed and defrauded Ron Paul (who won the Iowa caucus and according to the rules should have gotten the financial support of the RNC but didn;t), cancelled Larry Elder from the debates, and now work tirelessly to defame, defraud, and politically destroy Donald Trump. The names by which they are called changed (Moderates, Rockefeller Republicans, etc), but what they have in common over the decades is that they (knowingly or unknowingly) support the unconstitutional rational administrative state (Fabian Socialist derived rule by bureaucrat) over the self rule of the People and the States, and at times even of the constitutional rule of the state of the United States (that is the Federal government in its duties as our Federal state).

Addenda to the previous post to Suzi Island.
Most neo-conservatives in the GOP are hard working, good hearted, and sincere. They do love this country, the nation, and their neighbors and want the best for people (in general). Many are better at practicing their faith as Christians than I. I respect that.

But Neoconservatism is conserving power structures and ways of doing things prescribed by those who have been trying to transform our country (away from Classical Liberalism) to soft Socialism, and now beyond to outright Marxism. As a nation we follow 9 planks of the Communist manifesto and the last plank (property) is quickly being whittled away. The results have been a movement that is habituated to pre-emptively capitulate to the next dialectic synthesis.

There is an exuberance in the fight for America in the contemperaneous political arena. It seems fair because it is the air that we grew up breathing (as is our nature as conservatives) but it is not. It looks as if we fought a great battle, darn it, but we are manipulated by political dialectics. We live grow and make our living in this rigged hybrid system taught to believe that everything is all well and good because we are still in the arena to fight another day. The results are the country being dragged onto the next political thesis (moved goalpost) well down the roadmap in dismantling our Federal Constitutional Republic.

I'm very libertarian in the sense of being anti-authoritarian, but I'm not a strict keeper of doctrine. I'm definitely closer to the paleo-libertarians than the Beltway and progressive libertarians. I might be closer still to a Jeffersonian, although in the end, I don't cleave to any formal camp or ideology. In an ideal world, I am very attracted to the vision of the voluntaryist anarchists. While I am skeptical that this is an entirely workable solution for a full-bodied population, I would like to get as close as feasible. More realistically I think some of the optimal models of governance are found with, or in the vein of, the American Revolutionaries, when informed by history, philosophy, and careful planning, and consciously valuing liberty, self determination, and independence, and recognizing that the first function of government is to protect the natural rights of its people. I am also a populist in my distrust of all concentrations of power (both public and private), and belief that the levers of power in any governing system should be close to those who are governed by it.

On the international level, I like nationalism as opposed to globalism, although I think I am more keen on smaller polities on the order of city-states and micro-nations (although I also see some value in large, sovereign nations that act boldly in the face of malign consensus and related dysfunctions, the type of which tend to form when weaker nations don't believe they can oppose the collective or depredation by other specific entities).

For a long while now I’ve been mostly apathetic and deliberately unconcerned about politics. I perceive that the rot in society is too deep for sincere political movements to even form, much less impact positively. The spiritual sickness that has infected the United States can only be overcome by the Church, and so long as the She is overwhelmed by poor theology and the rootless heresies that dominate in the form of Evangelicalist, charismatic/pentecostal, and Baptist churches especially, there cannot be salvation, but only decay. The issue is compounded by the fact that there is no political camp for the Gospel, nor can there be, in the United States and most western nations. I would have people retreat entirely from the political society and return to the Church, as has been done in the past.

Ideologically I would say I am a libertarian conservative.

There is still a chance for salvation for anyone regardless of what Church they may attend but getting taught bad theology certainly can be an issue that needs addressing

“At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you? Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?”

I think the worst of the bad theology in America in particular is that the average American (if / when they even bother to think about God,) tend to think that God thinks that Americans (or that clique of Americans) are his accepted and well-meaning latchkey kids, instead of the abominable sinners who need utter repentance (like every other son of Adam ever born). That's a lot of stinking thinking, (if /when there is even any thought put into it at all). To paraphrase Lincoln, "The question isn't whether God is on our side, but rather are we on God's side." The preaching of the Gospel is so important to this (and every) generation. Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins for us and our households.

Amen

Obviously love is important but the reason for that love is what we learn in the Bible about the Gospel

There is a trucker boycott being organized to protest NYC corruption. I hope it makes an impact.
