Satire is very hard to do – but nobody(!) does it better than “The Bee.”
Number 3 is *chef’s kiss*
Parody, but in these times it seems to be the case!
Many people alerted me to this woman at PROMETHEAN ACTION.
And Sundance dedicated a thread to one of her updates.
Here is another one, current this week, which succinctly outlines facets of what is in play at this moment, both here and across the pond.
I thought it was excellent.
…if there is a “Special Relationship” it is not in the form sane people would like to think.
Not buying the FDR explanation.
She is correct about them throwing as many different things out there to get people upset. I just saw a news report that the US will have to help Taiwan of China attacks. And that the US would have to do more than they’re doing with Ukraine, and give more weapons and provide troops to help them.
It’s interesting that they chose today to give this report.

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Israel has asked the United States in recent days to renew its military strikes on the Iran-backed group in Yemen, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
[…]and called for “more intense combined attacks against Houthi regime targets — not just [Israeli] air force fighter jet strikes, but also a renewal of American attacks and the formation of a coalition including additional countries,”
[…]

NO. We need our munitions.

GERMANY
Germany continues to crack down on the second largest party by popularity in Germany.
They are now forbidden to work in some government organs.

Germany want their East Germany, and National Socialist Germany BACK. (A historic totalitarian Germany – HAS TO ACT TOTALITARIAN, almost like: GRAVITY, (almost impossible to change that).)
Elections deemed critical to preserving the UniParty Establishment are rigged by various means. New Normal post the fake covid pandemic.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Demands The Appointment Of A Special Counsel To Expose The DOJ’s Role In Hiding Epstein Files
https://www.infowars.com/posts/watch-rep-anna-paulina-luna-demands-the-appointment-of-a-special-counsel-to-expose-the-dojs-role-in-hiding-epstein-files
No offense to APL, if a Special Counsel is named, the Epstein Files is not the situation I want to see prioritized above all else.
Brennan, Comey, Clapper and anyone else involved in subverting our Republic is my priority.
I have a funny feeling Ratcliffe’s got the goods on Epstein–>BRENNAN
Alan Dershowitz is speaking up … About The List. The Epstein List. The Epstein List That DOES EXIST.
My, my!
I saw his interview. I only hope he has written down those names and has documents in several locations. I’m afraid he might meet with a sudden unfortunate accident.
That he very conveniently is barred from revealing per a conveniently mentioned convenient gag order. Conveniently enough however, he can speak of its existence as long as it damages the President.
Conveniently.

Zelensky Meets U.S. Senators to Push for Drone Defense, Joint Arms Production
U.S. joins “Coalition of the Willing” as Zelensky warns of 1,000-drone Russian attacks
Zelensky warned that Russia is preparing to launch drone swarms of up to 1,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in future attacks.
To counter this, Ukraine is seeking significant support to bolster its air defense, especially through investments in interceptor drones.
https://gnbnow.com/zelensky-us-drone-defense-meeting/
==============================
twitter Zelensky
I had a good meeting with U.S. Senators @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenBlumenthal.
I’m grateful for their participation in the Ukraine Recovery Conference, as well as in the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
It is important that the United States joined this format – for the first time.
Our current priority is bolstering air defense.
Russia is aiming to launch attacks involving up to a thousand drones at once.
That is why it is crucial to scale up protection, particularly by investing in interceptor drones.
We also discussed the continued supply of weapons from the United States and joint weapons production.
We are ready for different formats, including purchasing a large defense package from the United States, jointly with Europe, to protect lives.
We also touched on the bill introduced by Senators Graham and Blumenthal regarding additional restrictive measures against Russia and those supporting its war effort.
Without a doubt, this is exactly the kind of leverage that can bring peace closer and make sure diplomacy is not empty.
Thank you for the meeting and for working together in the name of peace and security.
Creepy Senators who appear to work for another country.
What the hell does Zelensky have on these Senators. And why doesn’t Thune’s and Graham’s constituents vote them out of office? These folks are obviously compromised either through their corrupt donors or otherwise, which is my guess.
Those two. The two worst war mongers. What a terrible picture to see of those three. Ugh.
miss Lyndsey graham …..makes me sick…….war pig……….pos
Yet the President endorses him. And not for the first time. This is not America First/MAGA/MAHA. Hope SC MAGA community can put up a successful candidate in a primary.
There is a MAGA candidate in the primary. He was interviewed on the news tonight–with either Rob Schmidt or Jesse Watters, can’t remember–apparently a friend of President Trump. It was a good interview and the candidate defended President Trump (sort of) for his endorsement of Graham, politics and some such . . .
All of this is vile. I am disgusted.
Epstein’s Former Lawyer Says He KNOWS “FOR A FACT” Documents With NAMES Are Being Suppressed
https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/epsteins-former-lawyer-says-he-knows
Alan Dershowitz says he knows “for a FACT” that the Epstein Files are being suppressed to protect powerful people.
“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them, but I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know. But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong!”
@SeanSpicer asked, “Just out of curiosity, without names, are these politicians, business leaders, both?”
“They’re everything,” Dershowitz replied.
This is a HUGE statement because Dershowitz was part of Epstein’s legal defense team.
What he said ensures the Epstein story is never going away.
Dershowitz is known marked man for speaking up like this. Hope he has multiple copies of that list and has a kill switch on them.
Epstein had no talent other than blackmail,” meaning he was most likely an asset for one or more intelligence agencies, and those agencies are now being protected.

It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Here, we have Biden judge who is poised to rule that ICE’s raids and deportations are racially discriminatory because ICE is targeting places where people of color may be — Home Depot. car washes, etc. The ACLU brought this case originally and is now joined by Democrat cities in California. This is absolutely insane. ICE is going where the illegal aliens, including violent criminals, actually are. Where else would they be but, in these places, and the like? Where should ICE go to apprehend them? And if they are people of color congregated in a particular place or community, that is apparently prima facie racist? This is insanity.

Activist Judge Blocks Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order
A federal district judge just blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, defying the Supreme Court’s ruling against national injunctions by calling it a class action. In other news, RFK Jr. is stepping up, banning illegals from accessing 20 Health and Human Services benefits under a 1998 Clinton act. RFK’s move helps eliminate incentives for illegal immigration.

Its All Staged BS…
This possibility did cross my mind.
Could releasing the Epstein files, possibly jeopardize current Middle East peace negotiations?

I noted earlier today, it’s not just US folks who would be implicated, it’s worldwide to include the Middle East and specifically probably, Saudi Arabia.

IMO. These people should be labeled terrorists and should be prosecuted at such. Firing at military vehicles makes them enemy combatants since they are not citizens. If they are citizens then they are most definitely domestic terrorists because firing on military vehicles and law enforcement cannot be considered as peaceful protesting.
Susie Wiles talk about how she gets the White House running, Elon Musk’s meltdown, Joe Biden’s low energy presidency, her father Pat Summerall’s battle with addiction and how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tried to ruin her career.
Thanks for sharing that vid. I would have never seen it but for my fellow Treepers at CTH! Much respect!
you are welcome;-)

BREAKING: President Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in a phone interview that a “major statement” regarding Russia will be released on Monday, and that he made a deal with NATO in which the U.S. will send weapons to Ukraine through NATO, with “NATO paying for those weapons, 100%.”
“I think I’ll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday,” he said, declining to elaborate.
“We’re sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%.
So what we’re doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO,
and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine],
and NATO is paying for those weapons,” Trump said.
He added that the deal was reached at a NATO summit last month.
“We send weapons to NATO, and NATO is going to reimburse the full cost of those weapons,” Trump said.

Trump plans to send Ukraine weapons via NATO allies
[…]”POTUS is sending defensive weapons to NATO. NATO can decide what to do with it. We’re not sending weapons to Ukraine,” one official said.
But Trump himself confirmed in the NBC interview that the arms would ultimately be bound for Ukraine.
“So what we’re doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine], and NATO is paying for those weapons.”

North Korean workers infiltrated US companies in major fraud scheme
President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has confirmed that the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea infiltrated over 100 U.S. companies in a major fraud scheme to fund the North Korean government by having remote information technology workers employed in Fortune 500 and other U.S. companies.
Last Monday, the Justice Department issued a press release announcing “coordinated actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) government’s schemes to fund its regime through remote information technology (IT) work for U.S. companies.”

Any credibility to this?

Believe the part about if anything on Trump they would have been released so fast our heads would spin. I thinking that the reason for
In the last few years I’ve noticed that the English Crown and Liberals are not on the best of terms so that might be why Andrew was thrown to the wolfs. But who really knows.
That is always the giveaway
So I normally don’t like Bill O’Reily but if what he is saying regarding what Trump personally told him, I can understand why files if any were not released. I get it, when sex crimes are involved AND the underaged are as well I can see why people are upset. However the collateral damage to those who were only affiliated and not involved in any illegal activity would be massive and unfair. Guilt by association sucks and with the media we have it would be a cluster####k. This is a mess and just sucks
I was wondering why no one was charged? And why no girls are out there filing independent lawsuits right now?
I think it is likely that settlement agreements were already made behind the scenes.
The last straw – the Bondi Blondi ordered the prosection of Dr. Kirk Moore, who dared to stand against the Covid Vac mandates.
This is so egregious that it makes Bondi the perfect embodiment of DEI – Dumb, Evil, Ignorant.
No more slack from me. She should be fired before the week is out.

I have mixed feelings on this case. I understand where his heart was…but he didn’t just take a stand against the vax. He submitted fraudulent medical data/records. He did commit fraud. He could have just refused to give the jab.
I would be ok if they dropped the charges, but it was still fraud. If convicted I would also support a pardon. It is a slippery slope to support fraud just because someone might support the cause.
J6er’s were called insurrectionists. I may be wrong, but I thought they kicked around if not attempted to include sedition to the charges.
What is happening with ICE officers being shot at and attacked is an armed insurrection.
J6er’s carried American flags and ICE “protestors” carry flags of other nations.
Every single one of these people committing violence against law enforcement should be prosecuted.

I do not know about an insurrection, terrorist org sounds more appropo, but one thing is for sure, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
