I’m Sure Not An Original Thought

The New American Digest Posted on September 10, 2025 by DTSeptember 10, 2025

I'm too old for this crap ...

This isn't just some shooter that needs to be taken down - it's a whole movement ... from the DNC and their tranzy critters down through judges overstepping their bounds and down to all the Karens that feel they're special enough to steal little kids' baseballs out of their hands.

This isn't time for long drawn-out court "investigations" and legal "we don't knows" and show trials with show judges that do nothing but enrich the legal system and provide news items.

Blood asks for blood. "Legally" is preferred but speedy and decisive is necessary.
Someone prove it's not time to call on the Committees ...

Because it's feeling like it is time ... and what that means is simply a different path of destruction than the one we're on.
But a path of destruction nonetheless.

******************************

Later that same day ...
But wait, there's more!

A school shooting in the Denver suburb of Evergreen about lunchtime today left three students critically injured.

So When The Illegals Are All Gone

The New American Digest Posted on September 10, 2025 by DTSeptember 10, 2025

"Eye-popping number of ICE jobs offered after Trump admin touts major new hire benefits"

Just what's going to happen to all those ICE people when every illegal has been transferred?
Or are illegals never going away because ICE needs justification of existence?
Or will they exist by needing to regularly confirm citizenship of everyone in the country?

"Ve vill zee your paperz now, pleaze!"

The pendulum swings ... how far?

Rules

Gerard Van der Leun
12/26/45 - 1/27/23


Gerard's Last Post
(posthumous): Feb 4, 2023
"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
