The best way to refer to us collectively is by our nation.
99% of us never gave any thought to the Redskins, and all my friends thought changing the name was the bigger slap in the face.
We don’t care if hot White/Adian/Hispanic chicks dress up as NDNs1. Just so long as they’re hot.
We don’t really care if you call us Chief, but Tonto will probably earn you a punch.
We remain the demographic that enlists in the military more than any other, but rates of domestic violence and other crimes on the reservations continue to be a major problem, indicating that maybe it’s not the best way to go.
NDNs like Whites, Asians and Hispanics. We’re not as relaxed around Blacks and we generally really hate [dot] Indians.
Sometimes in film and TV shows you’ll see NDNs wearing what may seem like a strange mix of western and classically Native attire.
This isn’t a mistake. Around the time that the first Yellowstone prequel was set, the majority of Comanche wore “mixed” White/Hispanic and Native clothing.
Interestingly, at the same time, the bulk of the Navajo were stubbornly clinging to buckskins and furs.
She must be a fraud. If she feels threatened that much, she should report it and resign. Instead, she bows down and hands yet more power to the left she presumably fears. It is also possible she is stupid. My understanding is Davis recommended her and was crucial to her appointment. ABN
In 2015, even before President Trump came down the golden escalator, CTH was outlining a ‘new era and dimension’ in American economics that could be possible if a presidential candidate focused on specific Main Street policy. {Go Deep}
Throughout the next four years we watched carefully how Donald Trump was organizing that Main Street revival {Go Deep} and what specifically was creating the economic growth {Go Deep}.
One of the points emphasized in 2016 about Trump’s unique MAGAnomic policy, was how both Trump and Bernie Sanders agreed on the problem. The difference between them was the solution.
Think of it like economic football.
Both Trump and Sanders identify the rigged game. Bernie Sanders wanted to change the referees so that government controls the game. Donald Trump’s approach was different. Trump wanted to change the rules of the game, not step in and try to play referee to a rigged game where the rules were flawed.
One of the examples of economic “rule changing” is trade tariffs. You don’t need govt to regulate the corporations directly (ie. raise corporate income taxes). Instead, you can change trade policy to make the better corporate decision a return of production back to the USA (a fundamental rules change).
Both approaches involve a different govt policy, but Trump’s approach changes behavior. That’s MAGAnomics.
One of the reasons Trump’s approaches are much more effective, is that his rule changes extend beyond the American corporate game. Trump’s approach changes the behavior of foreign governments and foreign corporations, a win/win/win.
An example is the Japanese government investing in America to offset reciprocity tariffs; while Toyota, a corporation, invests in specific auto manufacturing expansion to avoid baseline tariffs.
You don’t get that kind of result through Bernie’s approach changing the American referee in an all-American game and raising corporate income taxes. And don’t forget, the corporation can just move offshore and avoid income taxes entirely. Apple used to have their company incorporated in Ireland. Trump’s rule changes brought them back.
The Promethean Action PAC is now highlighting the fundamentals of Trump’s MAGAnomics and how the policy is distinctly different from all U.S. economic policy before it.
This short piece provides an excellent explanation of what MAGAnomics means to this administration and how that explains some of what the Promethean group is saying in its videos, which are models of conciseness and appropriate brevity. Reposted this piece in full with the author’s permission. ABN
UPDATE: This is an interesting episode for several reasons. For non-Christians, it provides insights into both Catholicism and Evangelical, or Born Again, Christianity. With regard to Candace, it displays her bad side more than any other episode I have watched. She is a very good talker, and like all very good talkers can use speech with aggressive, devastating effect. For me, she went too far with Marx, who relies on emotional appeal more than rhetorical skill. He did come off as arrogant, especially in the beginning, but settled down considerably after about ten minutes. At that point, he sort of got the moral or histrionic upper hand over Candace, imo. He describes real experiences, does not appear to be a child abuser or trafficker and was reasonably polite toward Candace. Another side of this interview is it shows how powerful crowd-sourcing has become and how interesting people like Marx and Owens can be. I am a fan of Candace’s work and have praised her many times. I know very little about Marx. He also appears to be an interesting character but I doubt I will pay much attention to him unless something new happens. Lastly, from a Buddhist POV, I have to say both of these people embody a deep power which only Christians appear to have. They are both doing a lot; they are both forceful and generous personalities; they are both very much in this world, and also deeply immersed in their versions of spirituality. Most Buddhists are more withdrawn, even avoidant, and most of us do not do stuff nearly as passionately and with such perseverance as Christians. ABN
Donald Trump‘s top counterterrorism official has resigned in protest over the Iran war, accusing Israel of pressuring the US into a conflict he says was built on lies.
Joseph Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said Iran posed no imminent threat and the war was started ‘due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,’ adding: ‘I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war.’
Kent, who served under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, accused the President of reneging on the non-interventionist principles he campaigned on.
‘Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation,’ the former Army Special Forces soldier wrote in his resignation letter.
‘The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.’
Trump’s top counterterrorism official has resigned in protest over the Iran war, accusing Israel and its ‘powerful American lobby’ of pressuring the US into a conflict he says was built on lies
Kent, who deployed to combat 11 times and lost his wife Shannon in what he calls a war manufactured by Israel, is closely aligned with the populist ‘America First’ wing of the Trump administration, including Gabbard and Vice President JD Vance, who have both warned against new Middle East entanglements.
His resignation lays bare a widening split inside Trumpworld. Kent accused high-ranking Israeli officials and members of the American media of running a ‘misinformation campaign’ to deceive the President into believing Iran posed an imminent threat, drawing a direct parallel to the lead-up to the Iraq war.
This is a major upside of this war for Israel — every day more Americans become aware of the danger of Jewish Supremist infiltration throughout our government and society; their bribery, blackmail and murder. Trump’s cabinet have all bowed and scraped before the Jewish Supremists. A possible good side of that is at least some of them are covert true patriots waiting for right conditions to disarm JS power over USA. ABN
