Why They're Prosecuting Daniel Penny
Why They're Prosecuting Daniel Penny | ZeroHedge
.....Meanwhile, hardworking taxpayers are treated simply as ATMs for funding the rights revolution. No once advocates for their interests. They are expected to silently tolerate whatever discomfort or danger that the rights revolution spawns.
The desire for urban cleanliness, order and safety — all are now understood as petty hang-ups of the overprivileged. Indeed, progressive residents of vagrant-heavy neighborhoods tout their compassion in stepping around comatose drug addicts without raising a political outcry.
The idea that there is a right to colonize city streets would have been unthinkable for most of the twentieth century. Public space existed to enable commerce and the activities of civil society; government existed to protect those functions. Police officers moved derelicts along, rather than allowing them to use sidewalks and business premises as toilets and shooting galleries. This no-colonization rule served as a deterrent to adopting a street lifestyle. When people did slide into social disaffiliation and dysfunction, Skid rows offered cheap single room occupancy housing, now priced out of existence due to the advocates’ unmeetable demands for improvements like private baths and kitchens.
That world of unapologetically enforced public order is gone. Nevertheless, the first time that an unconfined lunatic pushed a commuter under or into a subway car, the official enablement of untreated mental illness should have ended. Yet nothing changed, so strong is the idea that it is the alleged rights of the “homeless” that should guide public policy, not the rights and interests of normal working people.
When government abdicates its responsibility to maintain public safety, a few citizens, for now at least, will step into the breach. Penny was one of them. He restrained Neely not out of racism or malice but to protect his fellow passengers. He was showing classically male virtues: chivalry, courage and initiative. Male heroism threatens the entitlement state by providing an example of self-reliance apart from the professional helper class. And for that reason, he must be taken down.

Gaslighting: The American People Are Trapped In A Textbook Abusive Relationship
Gaslighting: The American People Are Trapped In A Textbook Abusive Relationship | ZeroHedge
......
Have we been gaslit by our own government?
I don’t think it’s farfetched to say that we, the people of the United States of America, have been gaslit.
Does this sound familiar? Lockdowns that keep you away from friends and loved ones? Losing your income and becoming dependent on handouts doled out by the government? Being censored and mocked when you say anything that is not in line with the official narrative? Being treated like a crazy conspiracy theorist who should be punished because of the harm you’re causing to others if you refuse to go along?
When you look at it this way, it feels like the entire US government and media have colluded to abuse the people. Many of the Covid-related “truths” that were promoted by the government and the media that we were not allowed to dispute have now been proven to be false. Stories we couldn’t question about the origins of the pandemic have been proven false. In another incident of broad-scale gaslighting unrelated to the pandemic, a lot of evidence has been produced that shows the Biden family may have received money from influence-peddling, but the media tells us not to believe it.
And like good little victims, it seems like a hefty portion of the country is refusing to believe the evidence, instead believing in the good intentions of their abusers. They’ve been gaslit, brainwashed, and are unable to break free of the manipulation.
And it’s still going on.
Recently Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a scathing opinion of the US government’s handling of the Covid pandemic, saying that we “have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.”
Slate eloquently opined, “Neil Gorsuch’s List of “Civil Liberties Intrusions” Is, Uh, Missing a Few Things.” making sure to throw plenty of insulting talking points into their introductory paragraph in their attempt to liken a Supreme Court Justice who was educated at Harvard Law, Oxford, Georgetown, and Columbia, to an ignorant relative one merely tolerates. And they insinuated he was a racist.
The New Republic condescendingly liberal-splained to the rest of us “What Neil Gorsuch Got Wrong About the Pandemic,” stating that “The justice’s vision of the judiciary’s role in public health may be more dangerous than any Covid-era restriction.”
The site Above The Law literally said Gorsuch was stupid in the piece, “For An Originalist, Gorsuch Is Clearly Slacking On His Definitions And Their Historical Meanings.” The subheading reads, “Is what he said stupid? Yes. But let’s be technical here.”
Law and Crime website also played the race card and did so right in the headline: Neil Gorsuch implies COVID restrictions were worse than slavery and Jim Crow, and the internet noticed.
Let’s look at that definition of political gaslighting again…
The gaslighting will escalate.
Another thing about narcissists: they just get angry when they’re called out. They will respond by gaslighting you harder or seeking to “ruin” you. (source) They’ll punish you with a loss of “privileges,” money, material goods, and freedom. We’ve watched it happen again and again in our cancel culture media. Some of us have been unfortunate enough to have personal relationships with narcissists and learned this the hard way.
The only way to end narcissistic abuse and gaslighting is to recognize it and remove yourself from the situation as much as you can. Obviously, when it’s our entire government and society, that becomes complicated. You may be stuck with just recognizing it. But that in itself gives you a certain amount of freedom and personal power. It helps you get off the hamster wheel, and you begin to spot the manipulations more easily.
One thing we can be sure of is that this will escalate as more and more people say, “No, that’s not what happened.” This is something we can expect, and in some small way, maybe we can take comfort in the response. Perhaps we can smile to ourselves because we know those who were trying to manipulate us all are on the defensive.

The gaslighting blowback was immediate, with breathlessly outraged headlines.

And they insinuated he was a racist.
An opinion piece published in the NY Times gasped, “Neil Gorsuch Has Given Himself Away,” made it seem as if the Justice was belittling every other civil rights mishap in the history of America while also blithely disregarding the folks who died during the pandemic.

Oof. If that textbook case of gaslighting isn’t embarrassing, it should be. Then again, narcissists are rarely embarrassed.
The gaslighting will escalate.

Two of the biggest for me was not getting the wall fully built, and then the Vaccine (he put too much trust in the Deep State that controls the health system), and even after all the proof that the vaccine should really never have been approved if it had been held to past standards.
Between Trump and DeSantis, I think Trump would clean house more, but not sure what that would do in the long run. If he totally rebooted the FBI, CIA, etc., etc.. Can it really be fixed with the deeply embedded CRT/DEI Human Resources and magnitude of students that are being pumped out of the woke college system? SEE VIDEO A FEW POSTS DOWN.
However, he worked non stop, harder than any past President, and all the while they were attacking him like a president has not been attacked before, wasting his time with 4 years of false accusations. But there is so much he got done besides those two issues.
Will DeSantis work as hard as Trump, will DeSantis lower gas costs like Trump, will he clean house like Trump?

For me Trump did pretty well for public, the only thing he did not do so great was keeping those folks work as heads of department.
Ron has done pretty well for Florida and he has the potential to do better given his age. Trump started cleaning the floor and pretty much ron might get it clean just like he has shown results in Florida.
I guess we will never know. It will be my first time voting for a president given me living in illinois won't change shit.
In the next "election" Trump could get %85, yes that's eighty five percent of the vote,
and Joe will get 5 million more!

And for the record, I quit some time ago arguing with any libs or any of them that profess to be a Dem. It's a complete waste of time. You're more likely to have an intelligent, meaningful conversation with your dog.
Instead I use that time to plan how to get around them, bypass them and fool them. I will look one straight in the eye and tell them what they want to hear; I either gain their trust or they write me off as no threat and when their back is turned, I make my move. I'll figuratively stab them in the back and sleep like a baby that night.
Screw 'em....every last stinkin' one of 'em. They can kiss my red, white and blue right-aligned ass. We're called "the right" for a damn good reason and they are not.
