The Duran: High Stakes, US Elections 2024 w/ Robert Barnes

JD Vance & The Fed

This week, JD Vance addressed the unjust and arbitrary nature of the Federal Reserve. Also this week, Elon Musk, in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd, mentioned cutting $2 Trillion from the federal government’s budget. The two topics are very much intertwined. After all, it is the Fed that enables the government to grow into the Leviathan that it is today. Members of Trump’s team are very much on the right track.

Whom Would You Vote For?

Democrats say that Trump is a fascist like Hitler. Republicans say that Harris is a communist like Stalin. This brings up an interesting question for those who say that it is our civic duty to vote no matter whom the candidates are. What if the election was Hitler vs. Stalin? Whom would you vote for?

My Prediction

My stepdaughter texted to ask what I thought was going to happen with the election.  Here’s what I wrote:

“I think Trump has a big enough lead to overcome all the massive vote fraud that the Democrats have organized.  When he wins the Democrats will organize violent riots in every city, including a real insurrection in DC on the day that Congress votes to certify the election.  They will file a hundred lawsuits to challenge the vote.”

One wildcard:  If the machine vote counting is able to switch literally millions of votes from Republican to Democrat like some of them did last time.  This may already be in the works: A Pennsylvania ABC News station “accidentally” put on their screen yesterday that Commie-La has won Pennsylvania with 100 percent of the vote having been counted.  That’s odd. I thought TV news was very fast paced and everything is last minute and constantly changing as events change.  Do they really have time to leisurely toy around with headlines for a week in the future about something that they know nothing about, by definition?

Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia

“Gore Vidal (October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012) was an American man of letters: essayist, novelist, playwright, and public intellectual known for his epigrammatic wit, patrician manner, and polished style of writing. Love him or loathe him, he had a lot to say, and was listened to closely, even by his detractors.”

Background

“Gore Vidal was a novelist, essayist, playwright, and provocateur whose career has spanned six decades, beginning in the years immediately following World War II and continuing into the early years of the twenty-first century. In addition to a major sequence of seven novels about American history, and such satirical novels as MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and DULUTH, he has written dozens of television plays, film scripts, and even three mystery novels written under a pseudonym. He wrote well over a hundred essays, gathered in several volumes published between 1962 and 2001. Taken as a whole, this seemingly varied work has an uncanny unity, exhibiting a tone of easy familiarity with the world of politics and letters, an urbane wit, and a supreme self-confidence on the part of the writer. Vidal’s lineage in American literature may be traced back to Henry James, the sophisticated American from the upper echelons of society who mingles with European sophisticates, and Mark Twain, the raw humorist and critic of American empire.”

Vidal was the subject of my first LRC essay as a contributing writer:

Human ‘Garbage’? – MSM Covers Up For Biden’s ‘Deplorables’ Moment..

1:00 pm on October 30, 2024

The Hypocritical NFL

For the past several years many NFL players have had [Only] Black Lives Matter political slogans on their helmets.  During televised games there are [Only] Black Lives Matter-inspired political commercials disguised as an anti-hate campaign.  The NFL spends a lot of money promoting “social justice” (aka socialist) political causes.

But all hell is breaking loose in woke football land with the NFL threatening to “discipline” San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa for appearing behind a post-game TV interview for no more than two or three seconds wearing a MAGA hat.  Even pro football has apparently become a part of the Demo-Bolshevik party’s never-ending political campaigning.

Human Garbage

Last night Brandon said that all Trump voters — all 80 million or more of them — are “garbage.”  This adds to Hillary Clinton’s description of the same people as “deplorable” and “irredeemable.”  Well, when I hear the phrase “human garbage” I immediately think of Hunter Biden and his father.  Who wouldn’t?  And of course Hillary Clinton and the entire Clinton crime family.

The Man Without a Country

The Man Without a Country — Edward Everett Hale short story. “The Man Without a Country” is a classic short story by American writer Edward Everett Hale, first published in The Atlantic in December 1863. It is the story of American Army lieutenant Philip Nolan, who renounces his country during a trial for treason and is consequently sentenced to spend the rest of his days at sea without so much as a word of news about the United States. Though the story is set in the early 19th century, it is an allegory about the upheaval of the American Civil War and was meant to promote the Union cause. Very powerful performances by Cliff Robertson and Beau Bridges.

If Trump Wins, the U.S. Will Become The Handmaid’s Tale…

according to one young woman Politico profiled recently.  She was among several Democrats considering a move to Canada if Trump wins the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

“Truthfully, I have thought about moving out of the country,” she said. “I’ve also thought about having to marry a friend in order to protect my assets as a single woman.”

Even the Politico reporter is a bit skeptical and asks her, “Why?”

“Like a male friend — in order to make sure my life is protected, because I feel like we’ll be going to times where we need male permission to do everything.”

Recall also Peggy Joseph, the woman in 2008 who supported Obama because she thought that Obama was going to pay for her gasoline and home mortgage.

Pretty scary that these types of brainwashed people are voting.

Brandon Wheezes Out Another Murderous Dog Whistle

Speaking in Baltimore near the harbor, the senile old pervert in the White House pointed to the water and said “I’d like to take him for a swim out there,” implying that he’d like to drown Trump.  He was giving a clear message to any nutjobs who may be listening who can be recruited as assassins before election day.  At least he didn’t poop his pants this time — as far as we know.

A Story of Minimizing Autoimmune Disease, Chronic Pain and Inflammation with Grounding

From MM:

Below is a personal account of someone who was terribly afflicted with multiple chronic inflammation related diseases and how all these afflictions improved by utilizing Grounding.

As regular readers may recall, I’m a giant advocate of Grounding, also called Earthing, and have benefited from it dramatically as has my wife and many in my immediate circle.

I urge you to read this entire article and then go to the references linked to learn more about why & how this amazingly simple phenomenon works. 

Please read and share this article:

I Shouldn’t Have To Deal With This by Joshua Fields Millburn

An Introduction to Pain

Millions of people suffer from chronic pain; I never thought I’d be one of them.

At age 37, after numerous doctors’ visits, I was diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which explained the severe pain in my ankles, wrists, and other joints; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hence my rollercoaster of indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea; and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which accounted for the dozens of excruciating ulcers that doctors found in my intestinal tract.

I began experiencing poor sleep and various skin issues—acne, rashes, cysts, dandruff, flaky skin—around the same time.

Doctors told me that my body’s immune system was attacking its own tissue, but they didn’t know why.

Maybe it was a shift in my microbiome, they said, or maybe it was stress or overuse of antibiotics.

Regardless of the origin, my first thought was, “I shouldn’t have to deal with this!”

It felt like my life was over.

Although I was relatively young, I woke every morning with pain so extreme that I didn’t want to live.

Motivated to find a cure, I tried supplements, medications, yoga, stretching, acupuncture, trigger-point release, saunas, ice baths, and restrictive diets.

Some of these treatments helped manage my symptoms (especially the last two, both of which reduced my inflammation), yet the pain and dysfunction continued daily.

Over the next two years, as I scoured online forums, health podcasts, and YouTube videos, I discovered legions of people suffering from similar autoimmune-related ailments.

Some recommended new drugs, others touted cures involving dubious homeopathic remedies.

I saw unfathomable hardships, but no long-term healing.

Eventually, I stumbled upon The Earthing Movie, where I learned about something called “Earthing”—or “grounding” as it is often called—which had reportedly helped thousands of people afflicted with chronic disorders, including:

  • Allergies
  • Alzheimer’s
  • ALS
  • Anemia
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Autism
  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Colitis
  • Crohn’s
  • Diabetes
  • Diverticulitis
  • Eczema
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Kidney failure
  • Lupus
  • Lyme disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Pancreatitis
  • Psoriasis

Many of these sufferers proclaimed significant improvements after Earthing.

Their testimonials were brimming with hope:

What Is Fascism?

My friend, Robyn Harte-Bunting, expands on the graphic above:

I think of Fascism as Socialism but with the appearance of private property.

“…State’s managers can do very well for themselves to a far greater extent than in a pure Socialist system, at least for a while [maybe a long while, especially if following on from a period of genuine prosperity generated by the free market, as in the US, which looks more corporatist than at any point in the past].

But the essence is that both systems generate the Misesian Calculation Problem and are fragile and unsustainable.

From this point of view, we have a distinction without a difference.

It doesn’t matter that Fascism is overtly violent while Socialism is covertly violent.

Fascism is currently unfashionable but all varieties of statism will f*** you up.

Robyn Harte-Bunting is an award-winning scholar and research fellow from Mises University (2010-2012). He currently resides in Vienna.

Jews Endorse “Hitler” After Attending “Nazi Rally”

That’s the spin that Commie-La, Hillary Clinton, the Lying Media Scum, and the rest of the Demo-Bolshevik party have put on Trump’s campaign rally in Madison Square Garden last night, attended by tens of thousands.  Trump of course is “Hitler,” as these lifelong fascists keep saying, and the tens of thousands from all over the country are deplorable “Nazis.”

Hitleresque Hillary lost by calling 65 million voters “deplorable.”  I wonder if calling even more voters than that “Nazis” will work for Commie-La.  By the way, the title of this blog reflects the fact that Hasidic Jews in New York attended the “Nazi rally” and endorsed Trump afterwards.

“God Expects Us to Help Him,’ Said Godless Communist Commie-La Yesterday at a Pennsylvania Church

By voting for her.  Well, Commie Honey, no he doesn’t.  He’s God.  He doesn’t need your help.  You know, The Almighty who was praised by someone in the audience at your recent pro-abortion rally who you then told to leave because he was obviously at the wrong rally?

Fluoride In Our Water Is An “Unreasonable Risk”

From HERE:

U.S. District Cour Judge Edward Chen concluded the following in his ruling:

[T]he Court finds that fluoridation of waterposes an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children.

“Reduced IQ poses serious harm.

Studies have linked IQ decrements of even one or two points to e.g., reduced educational attainment, employment status, productivity, and earned wages.”

Many municipalities have already acted to remove fluoride from their water systems.

***What about yours?***

Thank you JJ for this story.

An Ignorant but Ruthless Communist

That’s Commie-La defined.  An entitled, egomaniacal psychopath just like Hillary Clinton.  As California attorney general she imposed prison sentences for parents whose children missed more than 10 percent of school for any reason — including illness and hospitalization — just to pander to the communistic teachers unions.  California schools get $30/day in federal taxpayer dollars for each child who wastes away every day in their rotten government socialist brainwashing academies (aka “public” schools).  This feeds the teachers union bureaucracy.  Commie-La forced this single black mother into homelessness because her child, suffering from severe pain from sickle cell anemia, missed a lot of school while hospitalized for or incapacitated by the pain.  Only a heartless totalitarian could cause such a thing (while blabbering scripted, telepromptered, lying speeches about how devoted she is to black lives mattering).

To childless Commie-La (and the teachers unions) brainwashing other peoples’ children into becoming good little obedient communists (aka, “DEI” devotees) is more important than the very lives of this poor woman and her sick child.

Can you think of a better reason for abolishing the federal Department of Education (and all the state departments of education as well)?
