Once again the left always projects exactly what they are. They say their motto is “Don’t be evil”, because in fact they are completely evil.
Now, they don’t actually believe this. They sincerely believe they are the champions of the highest moral order. The fact that they are projecting their true nature is God’s little joke on them for our benefit.
Is Google "the left"? Sergey Brin and Larry Page don't strike me as leftists but instead more like execs who will pander to whatever audience will generate more revenue for them.
employees may not be the most partisan but they do provide, by far, the most capital among tech companies. Sanders, alone, received more than $1 million from Google workers, followed by Warren and Biden. A PAC called Future Forward USA has received $750,000.
Democrat Amy McGrath, who is running for the Senate in Kentucky against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has received more from Google employees than any other Senate candidate. Rep. Josh Harder, D-Calif., who flipped the seat two years ago and is now trying to hang onto it, is also pulling in Google money.”
I am as white as a white bread sandwich made with mayo and Swiss cheese….All this anti-white fervor will pass but it may get worse before it gets better. The dems have lost the plot and the midterms are going to be scary. I think the dems will go too far and 2028 will be a cultural and political awakening. At least that is what I hope because right now both parties basically suck.
I ran myself out of the Dems in 2021. Of course, I won’t vote for them anymore, but the GOP? It’s just another voting season of voting with my nose pinched. Lesser of 2 evils? I’m a President Trump coalition member voter. The GOP is not my affiliation. They live in a fantasy world too. RINOs need to be kicked out along with the rest of the do nothings. Then they will whine and harrumph when they lose it again.
So, you're probably not much older than I am and if you were born in the 80s, you've only known REAGAN style GOP. You need to be able to tell the diff between them and nationalist GOP otherwise known as MAGA. they could not be more opposite, much like the democrat socialists could not be more opposite from the non socialists. we were divided and conquered. It sounds like you're on the right trail with identifying RINOs, but lets not pretend the majority of the GOP is 100% pro maga with an extreme minority of RINO puppets hiding from the sun like McConnell. Eventually that show will end, to be replaced by real MAGA candidates going forward. It's really not debatable anymore. It's just history now.
Maybe. I said I’d vote for them anyway. That’s all you can expect from me right now. Hopefully you are correct. I’ve been a Republican before but not very connected to politics. I have sensed Gods hand in this They themselves need to connect to the God they profess and get some balls. Not all are wienies of course. 🤔
Check it out. The Paradigm Threat Good-Actor / Historic Antibody reading of 9/11: a ~80-year interagency struggle between a rogue CIA–British–MI6 pipeline (slow-burn holy war, religion capture, endless war) and antibody factions (NSA/SIGINT lineage, document leakers, sovereign national actors) who pre-empted the script by staging terrorism early, publicly, and at home—destroying WTC 7 (CIA NY station), forcing a War on Terror instead of covert holy war, and severing CIA domestic autonomy. Landmark NSA act: historian Robert Hanyok’s Gulf of Tonkin SIGINT audit (2001) and 2002–2005 declassification fight—proof the second attack did not occur and SIGINT was skewed—parallel to Ellsberg (1971). Modern conflicts read as agency vs agency across borders, not nation vs nation.
Investigation: Good-Actor Theory of 9/11 — Interagency War, Antibodies, and the Eighty-Year Script
Except, if the Dems take control of Congress, they will 1) impeach and probably convict/remove Trump, 2) prosecute all his Administration, 3) pack the Supreme Court, 4) get rid of the filibuster, and 5) end any possibility of any conservative ever being elected anywhere. Oh, and they will try to disarm us. That only leads one place. God help us all!
Straight, white, male, Christian, still married to his first wife, who brought 4 straight, white, Christian males into the world…. Based on your research, Gemini might mistake me for the 2nd of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse!

Congratulations on 60years - what a Blessing! We are at 30 and hope to have 30 more like you. Never apologize for being true to your nature and your creator! God bless!
Definitely pickleball! Just goes to show you how "intelligent" AI is. This is a great clip on what AI actually is from a guy that came straight out of the Matrix: https://youtu.be/a_ZKYH8v_do
In the meantime, I'm going to hide all my things and lock all my doors because all my neighbors are white with American flags! 😱🤣
Vee - I clicked on your link and saw the name, Neil deGrasse Tyson and had to stop watching because I couldn’t bear to listen if he began to speak. Did you ever see Del Bigtree’s interview of him?
“Tell Del that he was featured at Chautauqua Institute (NY) today in Neil Degrasse Tyson’s speech about anti science spreaders. Along with his picture. We laughed”
This friend also told me he mentioned Bobby and she and her husband and daughter were the only two clapping in the entire amphitheater. They got lots of dirty looks. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Jenna! You've given me the last nudge I need to break up with google. It won't be today, but within a week or so, they will no longer have to fear my presence.
I’ve long avoided google thru various means (I use Brave for instance) but my new job uses it for EVERYTHING and I just feel slimy having it all over my phone. Next used phone upgrade I get I’m keeping the old one to use exclusively at work so as to keep that garbage off my personal shit.
I dumped Google as a search engine years ago. They were headed down this track years ago. One of their engineers was Chinese National, who lived alone in a home in Silicon Valley, yet sponsored 80 Chinese Students to come to California schools! The local press did an expose, watched his home and found that he was the only person coming and going from the home. The neighbors confirmed that he lived alone and no students were ever seen at the home. So where where these students??? Google hires too many people from other countries and too many woke, intitled youngsters. These people have infiltrated the largest search engine on the web and it shows!
HOW?! I too want to get rid of google... and, believe it is deeper, & I need to get rid of ChromeOS too. Looking at Linux as a possibility, known for privacy. 🤔
I'm with ALF: HOW?! (Tim, keep your notes and write your next book: "How I left Google-and Didn't Die.") I watch "Hoarders" on the teevee, and it's good preventive therapy. But when I think of "leaving google," I think of those houses piled floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall with "invaluable" (to fevered minds only) stuff that--surely--will take a lifetime to clean out. Surely?
Tim, I also just got educated on google! OMG, now I'm going to have to delete all my google accounts and switch them to something normal. What choices do I have as a straight, white, Christian, married to the same woman for 47 years?
Does anybody have experience with Brighteon? You know, the Healthranger? (He has an AI that's free and unbiased!)
The more I read the comments, the more I want to become a homesteader and live in the woods (which my wife would never agree to because she likes flush toilets). Maybe I can get the Raneys (from the "Homestead Rescue: Intervention" series) to "spot" me a place already built for homesteading. (With a pickleball court already installed.)
Wait! I know, have someone develop glasses that when you see someone, they are just a blur with no characteristics! Nope, that won't work either! Sorry, I'm all out of ideas for now.
imagine experiencing this with your own (very White, Polish/Swedish heritage) mother and sister! when slightly & in jest, I did a bit of an eye-roll on all the hoopla over Juneteenth, I commented, 'when do us white people get our own 'celebrate Whiteness' holiday?' BOTH of them scoffed at me, 'well that would be EVERY day!'. I didn't even know what this Juneteenth thing was about so my 'blue no matter who' sister proceeded to lecture me on its significance.
also reminds me of that Sunny Houston (I think that's her name) saying on the View (gag, choke) that she felt 'unsafe' in a neighborhood with too many American flags flying cuz that meant they were all White Supremacists!! and the audience apparently concurred! same when she said that anybody who didn't LOVE the Super Bowl halftime that Bunny whatever guy's show, was obviously racist! mom and I watched about 10 minutes of it and looked at each other and said WTF? (yes my 88 yr old mom actually said: what the fuck?!)
the programing is sickening and I refuse to be part of it. but so many have fallen for it and never recognized when ending prejudice, (an obvious positive thing!) morphed into 'protected/preferential classes'.
Funny. I was out campaigning and collecting signatures for a voter ID initiative last year, and in the midst of it, I ran into this "streak" of homes with new American flags (creases still visible from the packages), and they were mean when I talked to them about signing. I was thinking, "What the heck is going on here?"
Then someone alerted me to a recent notice that went out to Democrats advising them to be safe by blending in with neighbors who fly flags. I was gob smacked! You have to fake being nice and patriotic to feel safe???
Good Lord! I avoided homes with new creased flags after that, and my canvassing was less nerve wracking.
You can try that, Deb darling, but I can guarantee you that AI will find your prayers are actually threatening them with God retribution. I remember when Jesus swept into the synagogue and went to work on the moneylenders and fakes— that approach might work better in this case.
Great first thought, but you need to make sure your audience is receptive or at least open-minded to listen. If they are openly hostile (as most of the Google hive has shown to be) then you are casting your pearls before swine.
Boycotting Coke and Google from now on. White, Christian, conservative, own guns, worked all my life, definitely offensive to them both. This may backfire on them though. The Vikings were white and conquerors. Just saying.
Coke is just flavored sparkling, sugar water. At some point one needs to pay attention to what this garbage does to the body and the wallet. Soda/Pop, which ever name you prefer, is a scam that made many very wealthy and others very addicted, or obese, or diabetic, or poor, or all of the above!
Google is very similar to Coke when you think about it. Both are very wealthy companies, both created very addictive product lines, both diversified to capture more market share, both market themselves to the young, as freeing and cutting edge, and both went WOKE.
The hilarious part is that the more Google, et al. does this, the more tribal white people will become. Of course the AWFLs will persist in their luxury beliefs, dragging their limp wristed “men” along with them, only learning when their hand that feeds is bitten.
"Luxury beliefs"....100% correct. Absolute imbeciles, never having felt the heavy yoke of hardship, spewing marxist aphorisms from the backseats of their limousines whilst channeling Frida Kahlo. The most predictable voting bloc in the nation.
I am a white college educated conservative Christian who owns a home, has wonderful family and friends and worked hard for what I have. AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
All those in favor of DEI, DSAers and those employed by Google to name a few can suck it.
Once again the left always projects exactly what they are. They say their motto is “Don’t be evil”, because in fact they are completely evil.
Now, they don’t actually believe this. They sincerely believe they are the champions of the highest moral order. The fact that they are projecting their true nature is God’s little joke on them for our benefit.
Best revenge on them is to absolutely talk about and revel in what we have and love our whiteness.
"Don't be evil because two evils don't make a good.
And if you're evil too we've got nobody left to hate on."
Is Google "the left"? Sergey Brin and Larry Page don't strike me as leftists but instead more like execs who will pander to whatever audience will generate more revenue for them.
Make no mistake, they play both sides, but they really only support one side with vigor. The other side is a headfake.

My go to scripture, Ohio Phil. 🩷Me too. Married almost 60 years to one awesome guy. I refuse to apologize we are white.
Congratulations on 60years - what a Blessing! We are at 30 and hope to have 30 more like you. Never apologize for being true to your nature and your creator! God bless!
The New York Times is dead! Why would we ever want to resurrect it?
Hey Phil - just curious as I am also in Ohio (Northeast). May I ask what area?
Sure! We are in Waynesville, suburb of Dayton/Cinci depending on your bias. Where up North are you? Have lots of Ohio U friends from NE Ohio.
It makes you wonder what the "I" in "AI" stands for... idiocy, ignorance, imbecile...?
I'm thinking artificial ignorance sums it up nicely! Though idiocy and imbecile fit as well...
Google AI is fed information curated by Wokesters. Garbage in. Garbage out.
I just went down the Google rabbit hole. Please, somebody throw me a long rope.
Definitely pickleball! Just goes to show you how "intelligent" AI is. This is a great clip on what AI actually is from a guy that came straight out of the Matrix: https://youtu.be/a_ZKYH8v_do

The old "Pickleball Diversion"... throws Whitey off the scent every time. Like a mocha latte or an HOA meeting.
I must learn how to play pickleball asap for my own safety.
Wait. There's pickleball?
Oh, I had to go for calling 911 just for sarcasm!
Vee - I clicked on your link and saw the name, Neil deGrasse Tyson and had to stop watching because I couldn’t bear to listen if he began to speak. Did you ever see Del Bigtree’s interview of him?
Yes, he sucks lol but this one doesn't really feature what Neil has to say.
Haha! Good to know you know he sucks. It’s rather confounding, isn’t it!
That interview was infuriating. That is when I completely lost respect for the man who identifies as a so-called scientist.
Vee - you will find this funny. From my friend:
“Tell Del that he was featured at Chautauqua Institute (NY) today in Neil Degrasse Tyson’s speech about anti science spreaders. Along with his picture. We laughed”
This friend also told me he mentioned Bobby and she and her husband and daughter were the only two clapping in the entire amphitheater. They got lots of dirty looks. 🤣🤣🤣
lol that is unbelievable that Neil comes out of that interview feeling like he came out on top. Absolutely delusional!
I love Chautauqua! I wish I would have been there to clap with them.
Same
Actually I couldn’t even finish listening to Del’s interview
Right?! So cringey but I made myself suffer through it
