In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

A Zombie Apocalypse Of Morons…

Eggs. It’s definitely the eggs. Not just eggs. Meat, too. Stay away from both. Eat your bugs and be happy you dirty little grubs.
excellent
It’s more expensive for farmers to harvest eggs from chickens than to grow a supply of bugs as replacement protein.
Thus the push to convert from traditional protein sources to the cheaper bug protein for growers. More profit.
1. I question whether it is more expensive to produce eggs than it is to produce the same amount of protein from bugs.
2 If it is that cheap to grow bugs then feed the bugs to the chickens to produce cheaper eggs.

CCP BALLOON INFO According to CNN…
““The domain awareness was there as it approached Alaska,” NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck told reporters on Monday. “It was my assessment that this balloon did not present a physical military threat to North America… And therefore, I could not take immediate action because it was not demonstrating hostile act or hostile intent.””

Relieve him of command.
Now.
Should have been done a week ago.
Dementia boy, of course, won’t act because Xi won’t give him permission.
Also, once again, the more my government tells me it was a surveillance operation, the more I suspect it was a weapon.
Tedros just predicted an outbreak of H5N1, the granddaddy of all pandemic boogeymen. From Laurie Garrett (Trump hating, “prize winning author”! on public health) to BBC apocalypse shows, weaponized bird flu has been floated for decades.
If you wre to speculate what was going on in the Ukraine or Taiwan biolabs, H5N1 would be at the top of your list.
It is also a highly deniable pathogen, because birds cross national boundaries so isolating the origin of the virus is difficult.
Was the Chinese balloon leaving a trail of weaponized H5N1? Are the other Chinese balloons just identified elsewhere in the world doing the same, so the pandemic erupts everywhere all at once?
These are very serious questions. We need answers, and I don’t trust the FBI as far as I can spit to get them.
More fuel for that fire.
Projection anyone? Now the DS via Alfred E. Neumann goes after Elon Musk, alleging Neuralink is moving around pathogens via monkey brains (never mind Pfizer transporting monkeys down American highways in pursuit of gain of function for jabs profits).
As one commenter notes, this looks like the Quiet War on super hyperdrive and all information warfare guns are now blazing from the DS.
They move on O’Keefe, move on Musk, put out hit pieces on Rogan O’Handley (DC Draino) . . .
And if the Russians do go full on wrap up mode in Ukraine in 10 days, TPTB may decide the sniper attacks are no longer sufficient.
Very concerning.
But the Chinese Monkey Farm in Florida is no problem at all for some reason.

FBI Targeting Catholics!
At the request of the SPLC and ADL the FBI was targeting traditional Catholics who preferred the Latin Mass as violent terrorists. The FBI targeted Roman Catholics for INFILTRATION by undercover agents for Anti-Semitism, Anti-LGBT and Anti- Black extremism.
The FBI document cites the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), including the group’s list of “Radical Traditional Catholicism Hate Groups.”
The document showed that the FBI’s field office in Richmond was considering infiltrating groups of traditionalist Roman Catholics who prefer the Latin mass, a whistleblower revealed Wednesday.
Former FBI agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin published the alleged document, which he wrote is “dated January 23, 2023” and originated with an “intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office.” Seraphin, who describes himself as a “confirmed Catholic” in his bio, did not say how he obtained the document. -Daily Caller
No wonder real crime is surging! LOL
The FBI is behaving like the KKK.

Iger was Disney CEO in 2015
Disney was enjoying its special status as its own government in Florida.
When you subscribe, or pay for a movie, or go to its theme parks, is this the kind of behavior you want to support?
Would Walt treat Florida employees like this?
June 3, 2015
“Pink Slips at Disney. But First, Training Foreign Replacements”
ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.
While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.
Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.
“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html
Walt was the cheapest of all entertainment moguls in his day. He regularly made live-action shows and movies in other countries to save money, and they have employed foreign animators for decades at Disney. The parks aren’t the profit engine they used to be. They either pay for cheaper labor or close.
Walt died in 1966. Filming a movie about Scotland in Scotland hardly sounds cheap. “Thomasina” was filmed in Scotland. “Darby O’Gill”, a movie about Ireland was filmed in California. I don’t remember the Disney Studios filming a movie about California in Romania or China?
Walt Disney was probably the most ethical entertainment mogul, which of course is a low bar. I don’t remember any stories about Walt hitting on Annette, Hayley Mills or Kurt Russel? Walt must be spinning in his grave (urn?) like a rotisserie chicken.
The foreign crews and equipment rental anywhere in Europe cost FAR less than USA equivalents, Boogy, and Scotland (as with all UK and Commonwealth countries) pays the producers a premium of many thousands if you go there to film and employ their actors and crews. Why do you think Vancouver BC so often stands in for NYC? Disney’s use of foreign locations began with Treasure island (1950), shot in Buckinghamshire. Greyfriar’s Bobby was shot in Edinburgh. There were others, but I’d have to look them up.
Mikey,
Walt didn’t promote porn for kindergardners and gradeschoolers.
From your response, it could be inferred you think it is OK to fire Florida Citizen employees while making them train their foreign replacements in the US, and OK to pay to watch any disney movies, subscribe to/watch ESPN, or have disney enjoy special government status in Florida?
You might even go to see an LGBQT+ biologically female “indiana Jones”?
I was mainly talking about Disney Productions, where I have friends working. I’ve only been to Disneyland once, in the 80s, and I wasn’t impressed at all. And I’ve had to train my own replacements many times. It’s an ordinary part of Capitalism, Beau, even if it sucks.
you trained foreign replacements when you were fired, for the purpose of importing foreign slave labor?
that is an ‘ordinary part of capitalism’?
c’mon man
Yes, I trained both foreign-born replacements to work in for-profit hospitals, and they call it “downsizing” not firing, and also domestic-born youngsters just starting their careers but knowing nothing, who could be paid less than they had to pay me (by contract/seniority).
Both situations have been COMPLETELY ordinary since at least the 1980s.
Agree Mikey. In the early 2,000’s Xerox Corp. laid off a large percentage of their engineers and expected them to train their Indian replacements. And you’re right about Disney being low pay. Years ago my MIL worked for Disney as an “inker”….left because the hours were long and the pay was low.
Mikey, have you read this?
What do you think about foreign low-wage-slaves under corporate control?
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/08/labor-market-bidens-migrants-americans-sidelined/
“What the Democrats have never explained is … how working families are helped by flooding the labor market with cheap illegal labor,” Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) said last week during a congressional hearing.
Disney fired their US IT employees and replaced them with H1B1 (I think that is
the number) visas from people over seas. The visa holders were given less pay.
The American workers had
to train their replacement workers or not receive their severance pay.
‘mickey mouse’ behavior….
it is easy to just buy nothing and don’t tune in to anything associated with a company that operates like this.
New unconfirmed video purportedly shows the armed forces of Ukraine deploying chemical weapons against Russian soldiers.
One video, posted by popular pro-Russia Twitter user Donbass Devushka, appears to show a Russian soldier descend into involuntary convulsions and drowning after being hit with what seems to be a chemical gas.
“Ukrainians allegedly dropping chemical weapons onto Russian soldiers. Unpunished warcrime,” alleged in a tweet featuring the video.

Musk took down Starlink. He can’t say why publically but it is because Ukraine is using Starlink to drop drones carrying chemical weapons on Russian soldiers. Musk dies not want to be accused of enabling war crimes.
No End in Sight as Jan. 6 Prosecutions Near the 1,000-Case Milestone, DOJ Reports

This should have been shut down on Jan 7. This is embarrassing to me.
It’s an embarrassment to the entire country and goes against everything written in the constitution regarding Due Process and the right to a speedy trial. No one should be languishing in a DC prison cell for two years.
The people holding and abusing them are human monsters.
I don’t think the republicans really want to address this issue. It seems the majority of them want to keep it alive so they can use Trump and J6 to distract from their participation in covering up the greatest most grotesque political hitjob of my lifetime.
WHY no arrests from the Summer of 2020 where blocks and blocks of DC were burned, along with the WH almost breached and Trump at to be taken to the bunkers for safety.
Why would DOJ and FBI arrest their own soldiers?
brrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg !
You win the internets today, Joe
“What’s his prize, Don Pardo?”
“mostly peaceful” burning, compared to J6 people walking on the grass after govt. agents removed the signs /s
60 secret service agents injured by FBI agents and antifa, which is only an idea according to b barr ? /s
Do we think this is another instance of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, trying to get re-elected in a hard pro- Trump area, or is it another “Once you see it you can’t unsee it”?

Rep Mike Johnson’s takeaway from first Weaponization Committee Hearing…
Woman who worked at Washington U. Trans Clinic initially very supportive, now, not so much. Great essay on how it started and where it’s gone:
…..” I left the clinic in November of last year because I could no longer participate in what was happening there. By the time I departed, I was certain that the way the American medical system is treating these patients is the opposite of the promise we make to “do no harm.” Instead, we are permanently harming the vulnerable patients in our care.
Today I am speaking out. I am doing so knowing how toxic the public conversation is around this highly contentious issue—and the ways that my testimony might be misused. I am doing so knowing that I am putting myself at serious personal and professional risk.”……
https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids
At the end of the essay, she explains what prompted her to write it all down and “get the word out”. She had switched jobs and was attempting to “put it all behind her”, and then:
…..” Then I came across comments from Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman who is a high official at the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The article read: “Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, said that clinics are proceeding carefully and that no American children are receiving drugs or hormones for gender dysphoria who shouldn’t.”
I felt stunned and sickened. It wasn’t true. And I know that from deep first-hand experience.
So I started writing down everything I could about my experience at the Transgender Center. Two weeks ago, I brought my concerns and documents to the attention of Missouri’s attorney general. He is a Republican. I am a progressive. But the safety of children should not be a matter for our culture wars. “…….
Transgender woman my ass. We used to have institutions to protect society from people like this.

So Mark Meadows returned the Russiagate Binder that President Trump declassified to the DOJ, and the DOJ has now “reclassified” everything …
https://www.theepochtimes.com/bidens-doj-finally-discloses-russiagate-binder-after-court-orders-release-its-not-what-we-expected-truth-over-news_5040074.html?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy&rs=SHRDJNQS
Yet it seems that Biden somehow had the power to declassify files as VP, along with letting Hunter have access. On top of that it seems that Hunter shared their contents with his overseas employers.
so ALL that President Trump believed he was declassifying was just buried
next time PresTrump needs a Chief-In-Staff-In-Charge-of Monitoring-the-Chief-In-Staff
to make sure his orders are carried out
He needs a Compliance Officer for each of his Officers
… all the more reason the Mar-a-Lago raid was carried out
Having buried their copy, DOJ scrambled to ensure that no other copies remained out there
… such as President Trump’s copy
Actually, Meadows carried out his obligation here. He was tasked with delivering the declass package back for final review and disposition
It was DOJ entirely that’s responsible for this undermining / sabotage of the President’s declassification decisions

I’m going to try and start a discussion about the true prospects of getting our republic back.
How many countries have restored a republic?
Offhand I can think of two: France and Chile
France has supposedly done it four times, but I would say they have mostly been very weak republics. I would say the current French government is more statist than republican. I was there in the 80’s and everything was ridiculously expensive.
Chile restored a republic after Allende and Pinochet. I have been there, and their history museum in Santiago ( https://www.mhn.gob.cl/ ) had very frank exhibits about Chile’s political history. From what I have been reading on-line, they are constantly being threatened by statists.
The entire world is suffering under Brandon.
