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…

Lord,
Thank you for having the Grace, to forgive me my sins, and for the blessing of allowing me to live in THESE times, and bear witness to this titanic struggle between you and the evil one, between your warriors, and the forces aligned to enslave humanity.
I pray for our country, and for the World, and know that we are secure in your hands.
I am content, at peace knowing that YOU are “in charge”, and that with you, ALL is possible, and without you NOTHING is possible.
Please lift the burden of despondency, which afflicts so many, Lord. Let them see thru the lies of the father of lies, and understand that distorting perceptions, to make them THINK he is winning, is simply one of his deceptions.
Make all of his minions stumble, grumble, fumble and ultimately fail, and their feeble attempts to achieve dominion over the earth, to come to naught.
Bless President Trump, his family, ALL warriors, and Treepers. Keep them safe, strong and resolute.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

“If I give you one message to hold in your hearts today, it’s this… Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. Relish the opportunity to be an outsider, because it’s the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference. The more that a broken system tells you that you’re wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead, you must keep pushing forward.” ~ President Donald J. Trump

(Not meant to be a post about a certain letter of the alphabet.)
https://twitter.com/OzRestored/status/1377533024061976578
Transcript:
— One of the most overlooked aspects of human trafficking is the method of transportation. How are they moving these people all around the world?
— I believe it’s through container ships. I’m currently standing on a container ship with roughly 10,000 containers.
— Maybe 5 to 10% of the cargo that comes in and out of the United States is scanned, x-rayed, and looked at by CBP.
— Any one of these containers you see on this ship could have about 75 people in it.
— We know… I’ve talked to CBP agents before… they have found containers with advanced life support systems, food, and supplies for these people to live in these containers for a substantial amount of time while they move from port to port.
— I believe it’s a huge problem. I honestly believe… I have seen with my own eyes… I have seen families… I have seen children… We’ve seen stowaways…
— And it really makes you wonder. Is this how they’re moving them all? Right here…
I saw a video where they were trafficking people from the Long Beach port to Baja California. They were being put into diplomatic containers because no one would look for humans there. Also saw fetal cells and humans being transported in those Red Cross vehicles with the big Red Cross. Again, because we have trusted so no one would suspect wrong doing. It’s going on right in front of us every day.
I wonder what the rules are regarding scanning diplomatic containers…
Here is a 2019 article about the Port of Long Beach.
Trump administration forces China to sell the Port of Long Beachhttps://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/05/trump_administration_forces_china_to_sell_the_port_of_long_beach.html
Now which Senator has direct connections to Chinese shipping by marriage again?
Older 2017 video with some interesting info.
Cargo Vessels Evade Detection, Raising Fears of Trafficking Operations
Description:
— “Hundreds of ships are switching off their tracking devices and taking unexplained routes, raising concern that the trafficking of arms, migrants and drugs is going undetected. New technology enables authorities to follow the routes of suspect vessels, but security experts say taking on the smugglers will require greater coordination.”
What are the chances that the ChiComs aren’t bringing combatants and such here this way?
I’d imagine China and other bad actors would be using containers to smuggle all manner of things.
No doubt. I recall years ago Chinese immigrants were found in a chamber created by a hidden double hull. They mean to colonize America, they have declared it their goal long ago.
Spartan aeronautic school in Tulsa Oklahoma has a robust business training Chinese pilots. They house them in a dorm. Pasadena, CA has robust“birth tourism” for Chinese pregnant ladies. I am sure the parents of many US citizen kids are eager to move here. Finally, “ghost ships” in shipping/smuggling has been a thing for decades – where a ship’s ID numbers/flags are changed, like putting a stolen license plate on a stolen car.
Praying and Praising !
Michigan Elections Forensics Report Says 66,194 Unregistered Ballots Tallied
https://www.floppingaces.net/most-wanted/michigan-elections-forensics-report-says-66194-unregistered-ballots-tallied/
All this election fraud discovery and announcements reminds me of a lone Wolf howling at a mid-night moon.
Indeed but if the lone wolf is joined by a dozen others all around you then that tent canvas starts to look pretty flimsy.
Give it time, the truth will out.
Is that the 2nd mean, vicious wolf howling close to the crooks tent?
Yup, sure is. And it will soon be followed by the Arizona wolf.
“Pennsylvania, one of the top battlegrounds of the 2020 election, has agreed to remove the names of about 21,000 dead people from voter registration rolls before the general elections this year.
The agreement was reached last week, according to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election-integrity watchdog group that first identified the names of 21,000 dead people who were still registered to vote a month before the 2020 election.
The organization provided Pennsylvania state officials with the names of 21,000 registrants who were not removed from the voting rolls after their deaths.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, said Pennsylvania failed to update voter registration records—violating the federal “motor voter” law. Pennsylvania law requires election officials to reject ballots cast by individuals no longer alive. ”
It follows that if they were on the rolls in 10/20, and shown as voted, then these votes should be counted.
What?! You want to count dead people’s votes?
My error.
Corrected to: “then these votes should NOT be counted.”
Good eye, jx
I thought that’s what you meant! Just had to be sure!
The truth is out we know what happened, there was massive fraud and foreign interference in the last election! And everyone knows it, the DOJ/FBI/IC, Democrats, Uniparty, deep staters, the corrupt Supreme Court and Federal Judiciary, the corrupt leftist msm and big tech! They all know what happened it was so obvious with the 3:oo AM stoppage of counting waiting on the fraudulent ChiCom Joe ballots but chose to do nothing about it preferring to go back to the status quo. They had to get rid of President Trump’s agenda “America First” “Those two words were kryptonite to the agenda of Wall Street’s multinational corporations.”- Sundance and kryptonite to all the corruption in Congress as well! The question is what can be done with that truth? I see no desire by Congress (both parties) or the Federal Judiciary to act on that truth even as more details about how the fraud was perpetrated become known! There has to an epiphany of some kind or were stuck with “the two most pathetic candidates in the history of the Democratic Party. A vice president who didn’t even win a primary in her own state. And a demented pervert, among other things, who can’t even tie his own shoelaces or know where he is and they crammed them up our nose with a fork of fraud so blatant that it is visible around the world.” – Sidney Powell! God help us! Hosanna!
Wolverines, my friends, wolverines!
This is LAUDS people:
Sorry tried to add a flyer they sent me- my kids elementary schools has teamed up with planned parenthood to turn parents into covid snitchers.
Nein nein nein!!!
Nein for sure.
It is just the flu, after all.
One scary thing, how many people will get the giddies when they see an opportunity to “…make a difference…as an influencer…use….testimonials to promote positive health habits.”
It’s sad how many will gladly take the fake testimonial talking points in hand to spread the word, possibly turn in those who won’t listen. All for the children of course.
I almost think I should go just to throw sand in the gears- as we say around here. Lol
Heh heh, this seems like a textbook example of something that could use a load of sand thrown in the gears. The CTH community would be rooting for you.
F.F. Report
Have not noted any mention so far at CTH, so here we go: LA Times recently ran a big article in the front (national / world) section about distribution of information via leaflets regarding a “White Lives Matter” rally to be held today in Huntington Beach In Coastal Orange County Ca. These leaftets were reportedly distributed by the ”Loyal White Knights”, a supposed major national KKK branch. It was also reported by the Times that similar WLM (KKK) rallies were scheduled to happen today across the nation.
The Times was very in-depth, reminding us that in the 1980’s white skinheads ran amok in H.B. etc. etc. The H.B City council rolled over and took up the “No H8 in H.B.” position, denouncing the KKK and “WLM” folks (who it seems never even existed).
Days passed and I forgot all about it until two “emergency alerts” came through my phone today announcing an unlawful assembly and to leave or be arrested. Mind you, I was not ever involved and was at least 5 miles from the “event” safely at home.
Alerts led me to do a bit of research, and learned that there was no actual WLM rally, but that the BLM folks had hundreds gathered at the HB pier to “counter protest”. Voice of OC called the “WLM” rally a “fizzle”.
Here’s the thing- HB is home to many Trump supporters and Downtown where the pier is located is a destination for folks from all over the region. It would appear that the “WLM” rally was a F.F. designed to give the BLM and associated scum a “reason” to “counter-protest”, thus hoping to incite the townspeople to react.
The good citizens of HB do not take kindly to anyone taking over their downtown, and a few scuffles ensued. Interestingly, there were a couple of people with Trump flags and American flags, and clearly, they were plants to smear Trump in an attempt to rile up white folks to an ugly end. By and large, the LA Times and Left / BLM folks failed to spark anything in a place they thought was a powder keg.
No “Loyal Knights” showed up, a few BLM folks were arrested and the real eye opener was the text on some of the signs that were obviously made by the BLM organizers:
“For Black Liberation through SOCIALIST REVOLUTION”
“Hail 76th anniversary of Soviet Army Liberation”
Citizens did a good job not getting suckered into this trap. The Left / Media appear desperate to start a race war. Perhaps this is to offset, and place blame on “WLM” in advance of the explosion of BLM violence due to erupt over the Floyd trial?
Did anyone note similar traps set in their regions for Sunday April 11th??
Link to Voice of OC (leftist leaning) to document the noted signage:
Expected ‘White Lives Matter’ Rally Fizzles Out With Few Scuffles, Some Arrests in Huntington Beach
I admire people who keep their heads while those around them are losing theirs.
“Then you will be a man”.
Direct Photo link to BLM group/signage (fingers crossed this works):

I saw videos of people clashing on insta- apparently they arrested a guy with a Trump and don’t tread flag…
My friends and I probably spent half our senior year of high school at HB or Newport instead of in class.
It’s a wonder we ever graduated.
Yes, but there was a bright side to your activity.
You received the much needed Vitamin D from the sun which allowed your body to fight off the flu.
While I have not seen any false flag operations (designed to keep the hate alive) here in my corner of Texas, what I have seen is people on Facebook adopting memes designed to blame conservatives for mass shootings. This meme is absurd on its face, but the hate it engenders is real. This propaganda is reminiscent of war propaganda designed to make killing the enemy palatable, or even desirable. This is dangerous stuff, folks, and we need to call it out when we see it.
These are Psyops created to damage the American mainstream and turn us against one another. Bad hombres all.
Why Joe Biden? It’s simple. HE’LL DO WHAT HE’S TOLD! And when they are done with him they will remove him, one way or another.
What difference would it make if they did remove Biden? Why would the next one be any better than Biden? Who ever they put there would be the same as Biden. Would it not and if not, why not?
Yup, the “communist stooge of the day” is what they are called.
Exactly fang. Many spend time with the timing of kamala. It will happen when they decide and their agenda won’t be altered one bit, just as ours wasn’t with GOP. We only thought we had a voice, a choice. Trump was the anomaly. He’s gone.
The appropriate term for biden is “stooge”
…AND S*HT HIM LIKE SETH RICH ???????
EVIDENCE: How CNN Faked A Story About Matt Gaetz, Got Caught, But Still Won’t Remove It.
https://thenationalpulse.com/news/cnn-faked-a-story-about-matt-gaetz-but-still-wont-remove-it/
It Is time to sue them for slander. If they know it is false and don’t remove it that is malicious intent.
Looting in Minn. Cell phones, sneakers, and vandalism.
It seems a little early this year, but aren’t we getting into the looting season?
You reminded me of the old Looney Toons shorts.
It’s looting season!
Rabbit season…
Wabbit
Looks like the new Oldsmobile’s are in early this year! Great movie and a great line. I believe that scene from the Blues Brothers was filmed at the old Ford City Mall before it was torn down, for those of us old timers.
You forgot televisions.
What seems most noticeable, there is an actual crime being committed when a looter doesn’t wear a mask while getting his loot.
“Yeah, well uh…
The thing! With the thing…
And uh…
That other thing!”
Week is not starting off well Riots in Minneapolis, BLM protests at Iowa capital and Portland’s ICE building set on fire.
Police Cars Damaged Protestor Shot After Police Shooting On 63rd Brooklyn Center MN
Trooper arrests BLM teen activist at Iowa Capitol
Protesters set fire to ICE building in Portland
…. with police in it
(I read elsewhere)
Tried to find an article on it because I read earlier that they had locked officers in the building
I do know that twice last year they locked officers in police precinct buildings and set fire to them
Antifa Terrorists Set Fire to Portland ICE Facility While Federal Agents Were Inside Building (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/antifa-terrorists-set-fire-portland-ice-facility-federal-agents-inside-building-video/
Portland is so screwed
Wheeler asked for National Guard several times and Gov Brown said no!
Sacrifices will have to be made, dontchaknow?
I wonder, was it the same federal agents on their knees in front of the FBI building?
Weeds will grow anywhere, you have to tend the garden, Portland is like all insanity, basic facts must be followed like ‘enforce laws’.
Something else I noticed…the 18 year old in Iowa that was arrested they called her a teen…himm that was cutting it a bit.
Portland is so 2020. *yawn*
Are they trying to make some sort of statement there? Or… something else?
RE: the first video… night vision drone footage of the inevitable and insufferable MN riots would be cool…
On yesterday’s political page someone had a video of the riots going on but it looks like YouTube took it down
It is hard to feel sorry for those who despoil their own nest.
I doubt “They” are. I bet they don’t even live there…
First vid makes the top 10 in my chimpout collection!
Just those fun loving kids letting off steam./s
maybe they really need copter fly over the sea….
’Summer of love’
⬆️ truer than most recognize.
that was the birth of the alinskyites.
people have glossed over those years into nothing more than kindly, beaded and fringed, eco-friendly, flower children.
the reality was a hardcore, criminal, violent, underbelly who polished their technique
with help from communist ‘revolutionaries’.
bill ayers and bernadine dorn, the SLA, angela davis, the chicago seven, etc., etc., etc.
their legacy is monstrous.
We Oregonians can not understand why these people are not arrested, night after night this is going on. We are so grateful to not live so close to Portland.
Portland has not been safe for anyone regardless of your political party for several years.
But it’s the “white supremacists” who are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat.
sooooooooooooo..they want have a revolution……sang John Lennon….I hope they back reverse by gen. Pinoch*et style…..we can dream… this looting.burning can last for too long….
The people who know about it wonder. I mentioned this at dinner last night and no one knew.
It has not been. reported well for months.
First Rule of the Wild:
— Don’t Look Like Lunch —
After the strong Trump administration, the Biden Democrat foreign-policy dweebs came out of the gate looking weak and like simpering simps
… like knock-kneed Bambi fawns
Now they’re trying to play emergency catch-up
Yeah
Good luck with that, kids
Report: Biden Spends Sunday Afternoon in Unscheduled Oval Office Meeting with His Senior Team After Blinken Warns Russia and China About Military Attacks
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/report-biden-spends-sunday-afternoon-unscheduled-oval-office-meeting-senior-team-blinken-warns-russia-china-military-attacks/
Lemme guess, dude’s gonna blink. A lot.
from the article:
The unusual meetings come as Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned both Russia and China about military attacks on Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, in response to threatening military maneuvers in recent days.
(Also in the news was Iran’s nuclear facility in Natanz going dark, with some reports crediting an alleged cyber attack by Israel.)
Is this simply sick stagecraft, or do these people actually believe they have a grasp on the circumstances and have a genuine chance to influence anything at all?
“have a genuine chance to influence anything at all”
Story yesterday or day before was about Iran talks somewhere (Paris? Londoon?) and mentioned Iran, Russia, and China talking amongst themselves
The US was not invited to the talks, and US “diplomats” were no more than innefectual onlookers from the periphery
So much for projecting American “power”
… or even having any
Hapless would be undeserved high praise.
The regime is signalling weakness on all fronts.
Zeroing in on vapidity:
Obama ‘deterred Russia from doing even more’ in Ukraine, Blinken claims, as he’s grilled on ‘costs and consequences’
Obama sent Ukraine the items the Russians most feared: Blankets and MREs.
Democrat policy is quite dangerous. In Victor Davis Hanson’s book, The Second World Wars, he drives hone that WW2 was preventable, but for British appeasement, American isolationism, and Soviet collusion with Germany. WW2’s outcome was predictable given the manufacturing capacity of the Allies.
Today, we have Democrat appeasement and collusion, in addition to leading from behind, while America has shipped its manufacturing overseas. If Russia and China launch wars on two fronts, God help us.
Our President Trump was like the Ringmaster in the international circus. All he needed was a chair and a whip to keep the lions and tigers at bay.
In context, Seneca, your somment is profound truth to level of poetry.
Joe Demento must have been pissed that they interrupted his valuable nap time.
He didn’t know what day it was since that excommunicated Catholic was in church
ChiCom Joe will be asking them to wait until our military stand down and purge of “extremists” is complete and “maternity flight suits” have been made so pregnant women can fight in the military! Strongly worded letter to follow! Result will be Putin and Xi ROFLAO!
Minnesota blacks sure do like those police shootings. Free shoes, food and TVs for everyone.
27 million +
Waiting for massive coverage and investigations of this federal building attack; perhaps aoc etc. can weigh in:
“Andy Ngô: “Watch the moment federal officers rushed out to respond after #antifa set the @ICEgov facility on fire last night. Antifa barricaded the front of the facility to trap people inside while the building was on fire. #PortlandRiots”
https://t.co/NaXYzSJoj6“
Why on earth are they still attacking ICE? The Biden Junta have opened the gates and they are getting all the illegal immigrants they could ever have wished for.
Folks are circulating all kinds of memes and cartoons that speak to the absurdity of pushback against voter ID, and yes as far as they go their points are valid. Basically, everyone has to have a photo ID to function in society, so what’s the problem?
My take: It’s not really about minorities or racism AT ALL. That’s just the “Woke” cover story to give Rinos a good excuse to cower in the corner.
All the fuss revolves around the millions of completely non-existant and dead voters who naturally have an extremely limited ability to obtain photo IDs.
And, of course, the political criminal class truly depends on THOSE “marginalized” voters don’t they?
LOL…the USA is Sooo 4th world.
Point to ponder;
If voting changed anything it would be illegal !
Voting almost changed things in 2016. That’s why they have to make it illegal.
Point to ponder;
Illegal voting changed everything!
That was a slogan I used during one of those “sticker campaigns” YEARS and YEARS ago!
I love Ron DeSantis but there is only ONE President Trump who can lead our Country out of the hell we are in today.
…seneca …with help of patriots in the military…..it get worse by day…
True that. This will become ever more evident, even to those who believe
Trump was not legitimately re-elected. And the truth of the level of fraud, in virtually ALL states,
should begin to come into focus and widespread awareness THIS week . God Bless
P45 his team incl Byrne Wood Powell LINDELL SD Seneca Menagerie Ad Rew CTHers all.

Looking good…
Trump will be back alot sooner than most realise, better and stonger than ever.
This I agree.
Everyday more is exposed to see and learned by the people. We see blackmail of politicians, crisis at the border, higher fuel prices at the pump, gun rights being infringed, National debt rising, rise in shootings, Covid still being used for control and trying to excite a war.
The Stock Market is being artificially propped-up by the Central Bank and the US government Treasury. The Stock Market is what they know is the last leg preventing the people from feeling pain. It is the pain needed to wake the complacent, apathetic, suburban middle-class Americans. I think the Stock Market bubble-burst correction is when we see Trump return and I think within this year.
The whole damn thing is going to crash and burn without a doubt in my mind,idiots will not wake up until their belly’s are empty, this year the President will return from exile of that I am sure.
IMHO, Taiwan or Ukraine will crash the world markets when they are invaded.

Proud Boys Lose by Default in Historic Black Church’s Lawsuit Accusing Them of ‘Terror’ and ‘Vandalism’
Apr 9th, 2021
-snipped-
“Today’s ruling was a victory in favor of decency and against violent racism,” the committee’s acting president and executive director Damon Hewitt
wrote in a statement. “The lawsuit was filed with the purpose of holding the Proud Boys and their leadership accountable for their campaign of racist
violence, which they perpetrate with impunity. We will continue to move forward with this case to ensure justice is served so that the Proud Boys and similar groups are put on notice that they are not above the law.”

Why Biden is Erasing America
Posted: Apr 11, 2021
-snipped-
This isn’t like his former boss’ “fundamental transformation” style of change. No President* Biden is racing at blinding speed to destroy every vestige of our representative republic.
Which in itself is a bit brilliant because those who aren’t paying attention believe he is incapable of doing anything faster than eating his lunch time jello.

He’s a frontman. A puppet.
My belief on the weak and demented was never ever very strong. I believed him to be cold and calculating. The bumbling fool, I feel is an act. Maybe I will be proven wrong.
Just like Meuller’s act at his hearing and Weinstein with the walker..
Pennsylvania Agrees to Remove the Dead From Voter Rolls After Lawsuit
April 9, 2021
-snopped-
In November of last year, PILF sued the state of Pennsylvania. In the suit, they alleged that there were more than 20,000 dead people on the
voter rolls of that state. According to the lawsuit, there were 9,200 voters that had been dead for five years or more on the rolls, nearly
2,000 had been dead for a decade or more and almost 200 had been dead for 20 years plus.
Intriguingly, the lawsuit argued that hundreds of these dead voters cast ballots in the 2016 and 2018 elections. Did Pennsylvania choose to
settle this lawsuit because taking the dead off the voter rolls is a state law or because they didn’t want to discuss the claim that hundreds of
dead people voted in their state?

Like father, like son.
SEATTLE –
The University of Washington Medicine is looking for healthy volunteers who have not yet been vaccinated against the coronavirus vaccine.
The university hopes they’ll participate in a clinical trial to develop a brand-new vaccine.
Vaccines are already being given out at Lumen Field and across the state.
These scientists now want to create a vaccine that could be even more effective than those already in circulation.
It is a race against time. As the country ramps up efforts to get as many Americans vaccinated as possible, some scientists are hoping to find a willing few who are not yet vaccinated.
They desperately need a fresh batch of healthy volunteers to test a brand-new COVID-19 vaccine.
“And there’s fewer and fewer of them,” said Dr. Anna Wald, UW Medicine. “So we’re in a hurry to recruit.”
Wald said the trials will be held in four locations, including the University of Washington.
As it happens, Seattle is no stranger to these COVID-19 vaccine trials.
Volunteer Jennifer Haller was the first person in the world to receive what we now know as the Moderna vaccine at Kaiser-Permanente.
And 13 months later, millions of people have got a COVID-19 vaccine.
“So for now, we really want to make sure that we’re only enrolling people who could wait to get one of the really effective vaccines,” said Wald.
She said the new vaccine trial combines the mRNA technology used for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines with that used for the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.
The ultimate goal is to produce a vaccine that’s so effective we would take it only once.
“We need a universal flu vaccine, and we definitely need a universal SARS-COVID-2 vaccine that you can take once, and it not have a booster,” Wald said. “So the idea here is that if we can make a vaccine that will work against all of the variants. And this virus actually doesn’t change nearly as much as the flu does. Then hopefully, you won’t need to be vaccinated again next year.”
The company developing this new vaccine is Gritstone Oncology, which is based in Northern California.
Researchers there are actually working on a vaccine to fight cancer. They have adapted that technology to try to make a more effective vaccine against COVID-19.

“The University of Washington Medicine is looking for healthy volunteers who have not yet been vaccinated against the coronavirus vaccine.”
I fit into that category and volunteer to stay that way.
Why would anyone volunteer to be a guinea pig lab rat at an ultra liberal Communist University?
Amen and Amen!
https://www.the-sun.com/news/2305200/doctor-dies-36-others-develop-rare-blood-disorder-vaccines/
FTA “Just three days after he received the Pfizer vaccine, Dr. Gregory Michael, 56, of Miami Beach developed symptoms for immune thrombocytopenia, a rare blood disorder that stops the creation of platelets, which are necessary for clotting. Others who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine also seemed to have developed the same disorder.”
Same here! I fit the same category but have decided not to be “vaccinated” or tested on before testing is done on animals! Not now not ever! Forgetaboutit!
Yes, I will gladly be part of the forever unvaccinated control group.
#metoo
Endless poison needles for everybody forever conditioning the worlds populace to the fake wisdom of the NWO control freaks agenda for planetory de-population.
The gameplan is no work/money,travel or social interaction until you have your “shot”,until the majority comply,civil unrest will be met with force of all sorts available for total submission, with plan A,B,C,D and God knows how many more accomplished then the final act comes into play, billions of people will be murdered because the exuse will be
“Sorry we had a bad batch”coupled with “We are reviewing our protocols”
Wake up people these so called elits are practicing worshipers of EUGENIC’S.
This is so true
People who get the shot, what is it they trust their very lives to the Libtard Communist who’s everything is based upon lies, upon lies. It doesn’t make sense to me when conservative friends tell me they got their shot.
I feel like I am talking to Sheep standing at the foot of slaughterhouse chutes. These are the same people who wouldn’t vote for Biden or a Democrat in a million years, but line-up to take the shot…..it blows me away.
The painfull truth is just too much to handle for most people, I know some really quality people that absolutely refuse to accept facts period, in a way it makes me sad, yet more determined to fight.
Good to see somebody that understands the ‘big picture’.
They are not lining up because of Biden or Fauci. They are lining up because of Donald Trump and their trust physicians. Donald Trump has staked his name and reputation on this and most of his supporters trust that he has listened to a few more experts than just Fauci or he wouldn’t have taken it himself. I know in my personal situation, my wife and I consulted with no fewer than seven doctors two of which are Mayo trained from specialties ranging from cardiology to neurology where they themselves had all personally taken the vaccine and were recommending to their patients. I still remain skeptical but sometimes you have to trust the experts. I may turn out to be wrong or you may turn out to regret your decision but I’m not going to criticize you for not taking it. I wish you folks would understand that you owe those who did the same consideration and stop with the insults.
If this “vaccine” is still classified as experimental (it is), by definition there are no “experts” to be consulted.
I researched it and made my decision not to take it yet. I may at a later date, I don’t know? However, you are correct it should be a personal decision and not a mandate. It doesn’t bother me in the least if you were to criticize or insult me. I am comfortable with my secure self. You can jump in a lake and I won’t feel upset with myself or you I didn’t follow.
Depends on who it is and how they ask. if they are A-holes. I say no and tell them what my research warned me the reasons not to take it yet. If not A-holes, I just say, No not yet.
“Then hopefully, you won’t…..” don’t we just love these vague “Maybe, could be, should be, hopefully” – sounds like the stuff you say to yourself after 65 when you’ve just gotta go – like now – and you’re sitting in a crowded restaurant – the toilet seems a million miles away, hence the “hopefully, will I, should etc etc”. Unfortunately for both the vaccine recipients and the it’s now or never toilet desperado, the consequences of it being not so sure, can be a little distressing to say the least. In both cases if they/you get it wrong, it may well be the last visit.
“healthy volunteers who have not yet been vaccinated against the coronavirus vaccine”
They need to isolate those with strong immunity to their frankenstein viruses so they can make them more selective and deadly.
Already, the current coronavirus design can trigger latent retro virus introduced to our bodies via contaminated flu vaccines. In many people, this leads to severe autoimmune response, sometimes to death.
The people I know who are healthy and have not taken the vaccine would never sign up for a trial.
This just shows how absolutely tone deaf this whole culture has become.
It’s nuts.
what I don;t get about the vaccine hysteria is that for over a year no one was vaccinated and yet people went to the grocery store, home depot, church when they opened up, people still gathered at outdoor events or for holiday. but now if you aren;t vaccinated you should be shunned from society? Why was it ok before but not now?
Because it is the Communist way to f**k the Sheep.

Report: Biden Giving Federal Employees Paid Leave to Help Border Crossers
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/04/11/report-biden-giving-federal-employees-paid-leave-help-border-crossers/
Thank the Republicans.
Don’t forget that in addition to the paid leave (i.e. regular salary), the employee is most likely eligible for per diem. This will include actual housing expenses at the temporary quarters (hotel, corporate rental) plus meals and incidental expenses (MIE). Depending on the location that could amount to about an additional $100/day for the duration of the temporary assignment.
It is like Biden admitting his open border idea fiasco has resulted to the crisis it is. The people are starting to See the debacle for what is going to very negatively affect Americans in every corner of America.
Damn do you realize how many American children need foster care, live in poverty or are living on the streets what the Hell.

Issue: Payment systems!

This is such an important point. What we saw with Parler (like them or not) was an example of how the connected economy can blacklist an individual or org if they want to. In order for America First to be allowed to grow organically (read: ensure survival), MAGA at a minimum needs their own:
Banks
Electronic payment systems
Server farms (possibly electricity)
Satellites
ISP entry to the WWW
If we are not free and independent, we may not survive past the coming putsch without our own critical infrastructure.
America is falling apart right in front of everyone’s eyes. However, this will not be seen by the eyes of a Libtard who is blinded by their mental dysfunction.
Yes.
We are also seeing useful idiots on the Left becoming targets themselves as they balk against the most radical. The Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was fairly quickly followed by purges in which the original revolutionary idiots were then taken out and shot for their impurity. Josef Stalin tolerated NO DISSDENTS.
When Leftists fight Conservatives, they get little resistance. When Leftists fight their own leadership, they get the Seth Rich treatment – bullets in the back in the wee hours.
275 Sheriffs To Biden: Stop ‘Encouraging And Sanctioning Lawlessness’
275 sheriffs from 39 states sent a letter to the White House on Wednesday calling on Joe Biden to stop “encouraging and sanctioning lawlessness.”

Powell’s “60 Minutes” Interview: “The Economy Seems To Be At An Inflection Point”
11 Apr 2021
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/powells-60-minutes-preview-economy-seems-be-inflection-point
A little over ten years after formed Fed Chair told 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley that “we could raise interest rates in 15 minutes if we have to (but that time is not now)” (and the Fed certainly tried to raise rates only to crash markets finding the hard way it actually can’t ever raise rates again without bringing the entire house of cards crashing down)…
Keep in mind that you can destroy excess purchasing power, which is mostly held in the form of bonds, by raising interest rates.
Many people don’t understand that this is also a key part of the end game once inflation becomes out of control. Just look at what was done from 1965-1985 in terms of both interest rates and the price of physical gold and other real things in currency terms.
I think the financial reset that is coming is many times larger than that period of time but the basic principles of how you reduce current purchasing power relative to future goods and services (which all require energy) is well established.
Those who suffer the most have most of their ‘wealth’ in the form of IOUs of one sort or another.
The Democrats are beyond crazy.
They’re coup-coup.

Antrim County: The Thread That Unravels 2020 Election Theft -Apr 9, 2021
https://letsfixstuff.org/2021/04/antrim-county-the-thread-that-unravels-2020-election-theft/
And it has arrived thanks to a massive fraudulent election with foreign interference! ChiCom Joe is being used as a fascist against We The People and doesn’t even know it!
Biden doesn’t want to know-so long as he gets paid NOT to know.
He knows. Dimly, through a Tapioca/L-dopa and Viagra haze, but he knows.
Trump was Ronald Reagan version 2.0. Weren’t the Reagan years wonderful? (Except for the fact that the House of Representatives was held by Democrats all 8 years.) It is a pleasure to hear Reagan’s voice again.
Reagan, Trump, Limbaugh, voices for the ages, I never tire of them.
Re elections; Texas city and school elections are May 1. I am asking everyone to have a sign at the polling places that reads “DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR VOTE WAS COUNTED FOR”
In 2001 they tried to go to electronic machines in my county. As an election judge I fought it with help from my commissioner and defeated it. About six years ago with a different commissioner and me no longer an election judge they got electronic machines in one of those last minute emergency type deals. No printout, no nothing to prove how your vote was cast.
There is no paper trail where I vote in Texas. You spin dials and push buttons. You submitted ballot goes on through the internet to who knows where before being tallied by who knows whom or what.
Even in Collin County TX, where we vote, there is a paper print out that reflects your choices, which we feed into another computer monitored reader. However, the vote printout has a “bar code” that is the real part of the paper output that is read. There is nothing that proves what the “bar code” says. Also, the voters get NO copy of the paper output.
No certified receipt means vote canvas, no matter how detailed, is ever accurate without checking a certified voter’s receipt.
So, it is the same as not knowing how your vote was cast.

Good.
This weekend I went looking for a new truck. What I got was STICKER SHOCK!
A well equipped 2021 Ford F150 is now $60,000 dollars, And they go up from there! So I started wondering – why? I have a theory. It’s just a theory at this point but here it is:
Every vehicle manufacturer in the planet is being pushed to go electric. Go electric or go home. They are all coming out with pure electric vehicles and FORD is no exception. The new Ford Mustang SUV 100% electric (wait what?) is coming out this year.
These new vehicles have to be sold at an affordable price or they wont move out of the showroom. The problem is that they are not inexpensive so an affordable price is an impossibility – unless….
Well, unless they sell them at an affordable, competitive price point AND spread the electric vehicles’ costs over ALL their gas powered vehicles. That’s all I can come up with – I might be wrong but this seems logical to me.
And inflationary in the extreme. In a sense we are ALL paying for electric vehicles. Whether we want them or not…
We went looking for trucks too and were shocked at the price. We figured that the dealerships are just taking advantage of the Trump economic bump. We are going to wait it out and see if these inflated prices come down.
Have to find a used truck.
Driven by a little old lady only during deer hunting season. ?
? ? ?
? ? ?
I would expect the combination of debt, social unrest, more focus on self-sufficiency, shortages due to fallout of the -19 op, and overall supply and demand to keep the prices of new and used trucks relatively high. I first noticed this awhile back in the RV market when formerly one could barely give a RV away and they were stacked like cordwood, suddenly went to premium bucks and scarcity.
The last new trucks I bought were diesel-powered Fords in the 80’s for the business and they ran around 15 grand per unit. I still have two of them and they haul/tow regularly. About five years ago another of them got hit and the insurance totaled it and wrote a 3700 buck check for it, that was before the values went up. I bought it back for 400 bucks. It still runs and drives but is a ‘salvage’ due to the payoff.
One thing to also watch for with new vehicles/trucks is registration and insurance. Breathtaking in some states. Forex, where I lived in CA, registration on my trucks last was nearly 300 bucks a year on 30+ yo vehicles. In Oregon? 61 bucks a year. Wanna buy that brand new Ford truck in Oregon? No sales tax and 61 bucks a year registration. Those factors, and insurance, vary by state.
In general, corporations, and for that matter business of all types, strive to make as much profit as possible and price their products as high as the consumers will pay. Cheap money, in my opinion an artificial, unsustainable mirage, facilitates that. The reality check is doing what I did back in the 80’s, writing a check for those trucks, feeling the pain of earning that cash with the sweat off my brow in industry and doling it out after saving it up. Can working stiffs do that today on a 60-80K pickup? IDK. Not me brother, they’re way overpriced for my taste. Glad someone is buying them. I’ll continue driving my old ones. Built USA tough.
Dunes2021: My 2021 CA DMV registration renewal on a 2020 Jeep Compass (nothing fancy) is $434.
The prices and loan durations have been going up for years. Another thing to consider is that people can keep vehicles longer because of the build quality but still they are expensive.
https://www.thedrive.com/news/34333/heres-how-much-the-ford-f-150-has-increased-in-price-over-the-decades
That inflation that you mention may be in part because of the stimulus payments. If a stimulus check gets you the down payment on a new truck, that can only push prices up. Increased demand spurs inflation. Increased disposable cash spurs demand. Keep in mind that while you received $2,000 in stimulus, you will be on the hook for $12,000 in incurred debt for the stimulus bills. The rest of the money that you didn’t receive but was spent by Uncle Sam in your name is also inflationary. Welcome to the brave new world.
Yep, the same way College Costs ballooned when Uncle Same agreed to cover any cost escalations.
Also, had an interesting exchange with the gal running the admin desk at the doctors office. She said that medical practices like MEDICARE patients as the government always comes through to cover increases or use MEDICARE and MEDICAID to pay for “free stuff” like China Virus vaccines. For time, some medical practices would NOT accept MEDICARE patients with gap covering plans because the carriers of those plans put pressure on Medical Practices to reduce costs.
Yes, subsidizing EVs with gas powered is always possibility/probability. Also, computer chips have a shortage I read.
We shifted personal transportation strategies 5 years ago.
For a 10 mile radius I still use my 16 year old V6 Escape.
For 5 Hour radius, we use the wife’s 5 year old Edge.
For anything longer we rent.
Very wise, we know several folks in the automobile business, and could buy pretty much any brand at near dealer cost.
However we have an 2009 Honda Fit ( Built in Japan) and a 1995 GMC 2500 extra cab 4×4.
The tax on a new truck here in Canada factors in at 12%
The high end trucks cost over $100,000 ( ( Can) approx $75,000 ( U.S.) the tax on said vehicles, would be more than the current value of our perfectly maintained oldsters.
Many have been doing incredibly well of late., cheap money, and the plague have determined that many Canadians are staying close to home.
EV have wait lists, and quality used vehicles are in high demand.
Used RVs too.
Good idea, thanks for posting it.
(video) Pentagon reveals microchip to detect Covid:
https://www.the-sun.com/news/2685444/pentagon-microchip-skin-detects-covid-before-symptoms/
A team tasked with “making pandemics a thing of the past” created the device which can detect symptoms before you even feel them coming on.
In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, one expert said that while the chip could be inserted beneath the skin it wouldn’t be able to track your every move.
“You put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body, and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.”
Microchips are also “re-programmable”, so the subjective symptoms list can be remotely updated to start, control and/or sustain any shamdemic on demand.
Tracking devices? No thanks. I’ll take the flu any day.
If you are one of the nearly 4 million members of the Regular, Reserve or National Guard Military; you do not have a choice. Also, I suspect any employee of the Federal Government and a growing number of States also donot have choice. Nearly 20% plus work directly for the government, then there are the contractors who could also face the same requirements if the contract is to be renewed.
Oh my god. Just shoot me now. This makes me ill.
Sure I will take the ‘shot’, just mail it to me with the papers. I will give it to myself and fill out the papers and mail it back to you.
I wish to stay safely away from people, just like you instructed us to do on election day.
Shots by mail should be the norm. Certainly our beneficent government trusts the honesty and angelic nature of the populace, citizens or not.
Excellent idea. Vaccination by mail. It is good enough for the presidential selection it is good enough or everything else.
“…they are the ones viewers trust…”

Subtract public venues that carry them and the numbers look even worse.
Although, it is interesting to see side by side; CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS at the gym. Now that the alliance of convenience has resulted in the removal of President Trump, Fox is returning to being the “loyal opposition” with YIN and YANG reporting, which has resulted in their regaining viewers and resuming their “lead” as well as the ire of the others. The content of the others is identically leftist, at times nearly word for word.
These doom and gloom reports related to the MSM are always amusing to read…yet the number of people (left, right and willfully ignorant) who use the MSM as their only source of “truth” remains astounding.
So, GMO Selfing is the new purity test?
