If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”.
He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way.
Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama.
It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought. He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM.
I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last.
But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump.

Here it is:
The CIA plant—operation: “Barack Hussein Obama.”
Founder of ISIS.
Operations included toppling the government of Ukraine in 2014; the Arab Spring in 2010; the creation of a nuclear Iran; toppling the Libyan government in 2011; the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government in 2016—the Russian collusion hoax; and the overthrow in 2020—the color revolution, Xi Jinping-19, followed by the “most secure election in history.”
And there has not been a single investigation into Barack Obama. Not one. Yet every president from Kennedy to Trump has been investigated, impeached, assassinated, or overthrown in some way, shape, or form.
@DNIGabbard just ended it.

@grok @histories_arch So the law pertained to getting rid one a child because of a physical ailment. Did Roman’s sacrifice children?
English

Sources for Roman infanticide by exposure:
- Twelve Tables (Table 4.1): Allowed exposure of deformed infants.
- Cicero, "On the Laws" 3.8: "Deformed infants shall be killed."
- Seneca, "On Anger" 1.15: Describes destroying or drowning weak/abnormal newborns.
- Scholarly: W.V. Harris, "Child-Exposure in the Roman Empire," Journal of Roman Studies (1994).

Archaeological evidence reveals that ancient Carthage practiced child sacrifice on a scale previously dismissed as Roman propaganda. The Tophet of Carthage—a sacred burial ground dating from 800-146 BC contains thousands of urns filled with charred infant and child remains. Modern excavations and bone analysis confirm these weren't stillbirths or natural deaths, but deliberate ritual killings performed during crisis periods and as offerings to the gods Baal Hammon and Tanit.
The practice, called *molk* in Punic inscriptions, targeted children from elite Carthaginian families. Parents offered their firstborn sons during military defeats, famines, or plagues, believing the sacrifice would restore divine favor. Inscriptions on commemorative stones describe these offerings explicitly. Roman and Greek historians—including Diodorus Siculus and Plutarch—documented the practice in horrifying detail, describing bronze statues with outstretched arms beneath which fires consumed living children while drums drowned their screams.
Recent isotope analysis of bones proves most victims came from wealthy families, contradicting theories that the poor substituted slave children. DNA evidence shows many were biological offspring of those who commissioned the burial markers. The practice peaked during Carthage's greatest crises: the invasion of Agathocles in 310 BCE reportedly triggered a mass sacrifice of 500 children from noble families, as Carthaginians believed their declining fortunes resulted from offering purchased children rather than their own.
The Romans used these sacrifices as moral justification for Carthage's destruction. While Rome itself practiced infanticide through exposure, they portrayed Carthaginian ritual killing as barbaric proof of cultural inferiority. This propaganda proved effective—Carthaginian child sacrifice became the archetypal example of ancient depravity, used for two millennia to characterize enemies as fundamentally evil.
Archaeological science has vindicated ancient testimony that scholars once rejected as wartime propaganda. The Tophet's 20,000 urns stand as physical evidence of a society that systematically killed its children during times of stress. What once seemed too monstrous to be real proved true, demonstrating that even modern skepticism can underestimate historical brutality when confronted with practices that violate fundamental human instincts.
Carthaginian child sacrifice profoundly shaped Western civilization's moral framework and propaganda strategies for millennia. The practice became Christianity's ultimate evidence of pagan evil, reinforcing monotheistic claims of moral superiority and justifying religious conquest. It established a template for wartime propaganda—attributing child murder to enemies—that persists today in conflict rhetoric. The Roman destruction of Carthage, morally justified by these sacrifices, normalized cultural genocide as righteous action against "barbaric" practices. Modern archaeology's confirmation of ancient accounts forces uncomfortable recognition that skepticism can become denial, and that societies under extreme stress may embrace unthinkable practices. The debate over Carthaginian sacrifice continues to influence how historians approach ancient testimony, creating lasting tension between respecting source materials and avoiding propaganda repetition. Most significantly, it demonstrates how genuine atrocities become weaponized narratives, complicating our ability to distinguish historical truth from politically motivated exaggeration—a problem that extends far beyond ancient history.

Throwback to the legendary Blizzard of '96 that started on January 6th & lasted over 30+ hours
Most of the state got hammered with 20-30+ inches, paralyzing roads (Turnpike closed for the first time ever), stranding people, and creating epic snow drifts
Here were the average snowfall totals by county:
•Sussex: 24-27 inches
•Warren: 20-27 inches
•Morris: 23-28 inches
•Bergen, Passaic, Union, Hudson, Essex, Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer, Monmouth: Generally 20-30 inches
•Middlesex: 19-32 inches (Edison hit 32")
•Burlington: 18-31 inches
•Salem, Gloucester, Camden: 16-24 inches
•Ocean: 24 inches inland, 10-14 inches at the coast
•Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape May: 10-18 inches
I remember tons of sledding and being off from school for what seemed like forever 😂. I do also remember my parents making me shovel every few hours, I didn't like that part so much😆 Who else remembers digging out from this monster?

@nickshirleyy Covid was a Trojan horse for massive fraud. Money went from the government to all sorts of ppi garbage. Think about how many small biz owners in your neighborhood suddenly were flush in cash redoing homes buying cars?? We are all paying for it now.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

@RealJamesWoods Regardless of gender or sexual orientation they need qualified competant leadership who understand what the job entails. The “citizens” who voted for this communist wanted this outcome. Now we’ll see what happens

The DEI hires at the top did a great job in California this year. They left their firefighters undermanned and without the absolute basics, like water, for example. Being more concerned with stuffing totally inexperienced lesbians into a job that can cost lives is criminally irresponsible. 31 people died because of this nonsense in the Palisades/Eaton fires. Will these leftist idiots ever learn? Or do they even care to?
