Kent Clizbe · Why They Lie

With Trump’s enthusiastic help, Miriam Adelson, AIPAC, and a handful of billionaire foreigners just bought the seat of the sole remaining member of Congress who truly represented Normal Americans, Thomas Massie.

A hostile foreign power spending $30 million in a Republican Congressional primary is end-stage corruption, an indictment of a sick system.

There’s a quiet all out war for the future of our country. Let us not misdirect our precious resources. I do not believe I lost due to fraudulent votes, mail-in ballots, hacking, or mistabulated results. I respect those who want to make sure, but I won’t be requesting a recount.

Meanwhile, a typical Boomer MAGA echo chamber commentator complains:


Prices for everything are on the rise. People are having to choose between filling the tank in the car and bringing home milk and bread for the family. Credit cards are maxed out. Huge numbers of people are struggling just to pay the rent.

The mills and factories are closed. Even major retail chains are going out of business. In many small towns, the only businesses left are the Smoke Shop and the Dollar Store. Meanwhile, giant data centers are being fast-tracked all over the country, stealing good farmland and sucking up the groundwater.

Trust in the electoral process is at an all-time low. Increasingly, people feel there is no point in voting at all. They believe the system is rigged, and they have no real voice.

Government continues to grow in size and expense. Taxes are absurdly high. The national debt is approaching the point where it is a national security threat. The day when America goes bankrupt is fast approaching.

Life expectancy in this country is, for the first time in history, declining. Americans are being poisoned by food produced by a corporate agricultural industry and exploited by Big Pharma. They limp into old age, pumped full of medications and staggering from one surgery to the next.

The educational system is broken. Our children cannot read, write, or do basic math. Children in countries with a fraction of our resources outperform our young people handily on every standardized test there is.

Only the billionaires seem to profit. Government, in fact, appears to exist primarily to cater to their needs and desires. They get richer. They acquire ever larger amounts of influence. The little guy is now a prop trotted out at election time and then quickly forgotten thereafter.

The GOP is doing nothing of consequence to change any of this. It pretends none of this is happening.

Totally ignoring the fact that the Trump (and his handlers) IS the GOP now. There is no GOP, only Trump and his golden handlers, who pump money constantly into the projects the handlers choose. MAGA has nothing to do with America or Americans now.

So, the Rump remnants of MAGA, mostly Boomer-age, whine that we need a GOP candidate who will come into office and:

  • Drain the swamp

  • Release federal files being hidden on the most egregious cover-up of high-level crimes and perversion in American history, the Epstein Files

  • End America’s stupid involvement in never-ending wars in West Asia and the Persian Gulf

  • DOGE review of ALL federal spending, and cut unnecessary and corrupt programs

  • Immediate deportation of ALL illegal aliens

  • End the H1B-8A corrupt foreign perversion of the American job market and federal contracting

  • End DEI and Affirmative Action

  • Eliminate the federal debt

  • MAGA

Well, I think we voted in that person in 2024. At least that’s what he promised.

Unfortunately, he lied. We got snookered.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me the third time….? MAGA is dead.

Once in office, Trump followed through, sort of half-heartedly, going through the motions with several of his promises, with a lot of smoke, but very little fire. But for many/most of those promises, Trump and his minions not only reneged, but gas-lighted his former supporters as fools, idiots, dishonest tools who he didn’t need any more.

DOGE disintegrated and disappeared. Corrupt spending identified and continued.

Big talking appointments--prior to moving into their Swampy offices--talked big. Think Bondi, Patel, Bongino, and others. Once in, they became the swampiest swamp monsters imaginable.

Trump rejected America First, and reveled in promoting the sources of his massive donations--dual citizen Miriam Adelson and her cabal, mostly. Now he’s rejected and alienated some of his most energetic and loyal former supports: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Massie, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, etc, etc, etc. Trump declared that MAGA meant whatever he wanted it to mean--”Get on the Trump train or get away, losers”

Until we America First citizens realize that we’re in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic, manipulative liar, and we must break up with him and take out a protective order, or nothing will change.

Idols were common in the world around the Israelites. When God gave the Ten Commandments, the Israelites had just left Egypt, where the Egyptians worshiped dozens, even hundreds, of gods represented by idols. These idols were believed to hold the power of the gods.

MAGA is dead. The GOP is a rotten husk of lies and foreign influence.

Meanwhile, Trump and Israel are left with one last option after Iran has absorbed all they could dish out--nuke Tehran. Will Levin/Adelson/Hegseth tell Trump to do that? And will he obey?

America First is the only way forward. No foreign entanglements. American interests. Independent, 3rd party, or some other formulation that reflects the values and desires of Normal Americans will emerge as the swamp-infested “MAGA/MIGA” organization self-destructs.

Trump told us, his 3 time voters, to screw off, in no uncertain terms:

“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats’ work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

I guess we should have expected Trump to be a bust, since his last time in office had similar results:

“In 2020, then-President Trump said he was succeeding: “We’re draining the Washington swamp!”

But it wasn’t true.

“He made government bigger,” Economist Ed Stringham….. ‘That’s going in the wrong direction. Looking through a list of agencies, every single one I could see, there were more employees after his presidency than before.”

“Trump launched a $6 billion “Farmers to Families” Food Box Program to bring food from farmers to families.

“Last I checked,” jokes Stringham, “we have an industry for that. It’s called the supermarket industry. It exists for a reason. Markets are good at getting things from farmer to consumer.”

“Trump pandered to women, signing a Women, Peace, and Security Act, the Woman Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Act, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, a Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative.”

“That just made the swamp bigger.”

The final straw for many former supporters was Trump’s 180 on exposing the pedophiles, perverts, and foreign influence operations in Epstein’s operational circle.

Trump and his minions on Epstein, during the 2024 campaign:

“….when asked by Friedman about releasing Epstein’s client list.

Trump: “Yeah, I’d certainly take a look at it. … Yeah, I’d be inclined to do the Epstein, I’d have no problem with it.”

Vance: “Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list. That is an important thing.”

Patel: “Been calling for ALL of it to be released so the public can have accountability- we must find out who pedo’d around with Epstein: Barr totally failed”

“Anyone else want to see the Diddy list, that the FBI and DOJ have but wont release… just like Epstein blackbook? The Deep State won’t end until we put @realDonaldTrump back at 1600 Penn”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “So, will you work with me on this issue so we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings?”

Patel: “Absolutely, Senator.”

Patel: “I’m not going to withhold information from the American public, ever. … It takes time to go through years of investigations, years of political maneuvering, and years of cover-up.”

Rogan: “Is there evidence that there’s video? Is there evidence that it was moved around?”

Patel: “You’re going to get all that information. … That’s literally what we’re putting together. And we’re going to give you every single thing we have and can.”

Bondi: “DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients? Will that really happen?”

Bondi: “It is sitting on my desk right now, to review.”

Host Jesse Watters: “You said you have the Epstein files on your desk.”

Bondi: “I do.”

Host Mark Levin: “So once all that’s gathered you’re just going to put it out in the public…?”

Bondi: “Well, certainly, nothing can be withheld on that.”

Alina Habba:

Morgan: “Do you think that by releasing information from these files we are likely to see criminal actions being taken?”

Habba: “Absolutely. I think it would be negligent for us not to. You have to hold individuals who are indeed rapists, accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion.”

Habba: “They are going through it. … When you are wanting to prosecute and actually do something with the information that you have, you have to make sure that you save the integrity of the investigation so that we can bring these people to justice…”

Habba: “Those people that were crossing state lines and trafficking those girls or having sex with minors will be prosecuted.”

Elon Musk: “Well, it better come out, hopefully tomorrow. … I think the public will be rightly frustrated if no one is prosecuted for the Epstein client list, no one at all. At least, the top five or something? … There should at least be an attempt at prosecution of the worst offenders.”

Trump Jr: “Show us all the Epstein client list now!!! Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourselves this question daily and the answer becomes very apparent!!”

“Everyone knows Bill Clinton was on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane and island a lot. Literally no one is at all surprised that he’s all over the release. What we want to know is ALL THE OTHER NAMES that the government has been hiding & running cover for. That will actually be revealing!”

Trump Jr.: “I keep hearing about some of the Jeffrey Epstein clients names being released today but I’d be willing to bet that something happens between now and then that prevents those names from ever coming out. You just know that’s coming, though I hope to be proven wrong.”

Trump Jr.: “I am on every list except the Epstein list. We haven’t heard anything about that one in a while… How is it that my father could be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one on Epstein’s list has even been brought to light? It’s almost like they’re trying to protect those pedophiles.”

Trump’s corrupt pardons in 2025…draining the swamp? MAGA?

“Trevor Milton. Convicted of defrauding investors, Milton was granted a full pardon and excused from potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in restitution payments after he donated $2.5 million to the Trump campaign and associated PACs.”

“Paul Walczak, who was convicted of healthcare fraud. He was excused both from restitution payments and from serving his prison sentence after paying $1 million to dine with Trump. Walczak’s mother is also a top Trump donor.”

“Joseph Schwartz? His fraud led to the ruin of numerous nursing facilities. He got out of his prison sentence and restitution payments after he paid pro-Trump lobbyists such as Jack Burkman to take his case to the White House.”

His July 2004 takedown of Charles Kushner was one of Chris Christie’s most well-publicized triumphs as U.S. Attorney, helping to set the stage for his successful bid for governor several years later

“Trump seems proud of his hypocrisy. How else can we explain his decision to appoint the tax-evading felon Charles Kushner as ambassador to America’s oldest ally?”

So, unless you enjoy being Gomer Pyle’s fool for the third time, it’s time that Normal Americans put on their big boy pants and admit that we were fooled for the second time. It’s time for an America First coalition to take advantage of the chaos the neocon MIGA crowd will leave us with after the coming 2026 wipe-out. 2028 can be the beginning of an America First solution.

Or we can see what it’s like to be fooled for the fourth time….
