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.

…prelude to Christmas,
…it’s a time, amongst all times, to selflessly help,
( it is also time to resist asking questions, as Joy arrives…)
Christmas on the prairie, 1975.
Thanks to Jesus…and subsequently the Ingalls…and…untold millions of others…
At the time of original airing on TV,
millions of U.S. households watched at the same time…
…and concurred with the message, because many lived it then – and do, today.
Video
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has arisen as a Gray Champion in our Fourth Turning*: allow me to offer salient excerpts from his Christmas Message to The American People.
He courageously exposes the global conspiracy to control us through fear, technology, and gullibility as exactly that: a global conspiracy!
I hope the excerpts lead you to reading the entire message: it will be worth your time!
“DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup
has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite
group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high
finance.
This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on
the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other
seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments,
and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously
ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal
side effects.
We all know how much the mainstream media has contributed to
supporting the insane pandemic narrative…
…(It is) part of a criminal plan hatched by the World Economic Forum, the
UN, the WHO, and a galaxy of organizations and foundations that are ideologically
characterized as clearly anti-human and – this needs to be said clearly – anti-
Christian.
One of the elements that unequivocally confirms the criminal nature of the Great
Reset is the perfect synchrony with which all the different Nations are acting,
demonstrating the existence of a single script under a single direction. …
…Political and religious leaders, representatives of the people,
scientists and doctors, journalists and those who work in the media have literally
betrayed their people, their laws, their Constitutions, and the most basic ethical
principles.
The electoral fraud of the 2020 presidential election against President Trump has
shown itself to be organic to this global operation, because in order to impose
illegitimate restrictions in violation of the principles of law it was necessary to be able
to make use of an American President (i.e. Biden, The Manchurian Marionette) who would support the psycho-pandemic and support its narrative…
…The Democratic Party, part of the deep state, is carrying out
its task as an accomplice of the system…
…How have we come to be considered
enemies by those who govern us, not in support of the common good, but rather to
feed a hellish machine of death and slavery?…
…The answer is now clear: throughout the world, in the name of a perverted concept
of freedom, we have progressively erased God from society and laws. We have denied
that there is an eternal and transcendent principle, valid for all men of all times, to
which the laws of States must conform. …
…we have allowed the Law of God and the law of nature to be violated, legitimizing the
killing of children in the womb, even up to the very moment of birth; the killing of
the sick and the elderly in hospital wards; the destruction of the natural family and
of Marriage…
…These natural moral principles of the Greco-Roman world found their fulfillment
in Christianity, which built Western civilization by giving them a supernatural
impetus.
Christianity is the strongest defense against injustice, the strongest garrison
against the oppression of the powerful over the weak, the violent over the peaceful,
and the wicked over the good, because Christian morality makes each of us
accountable to God and our neighbor for our actions, both as citizens and as rulers….
…The Son of God, whose Birth we will celebrate in a few days, became Incarnate in
time and in history in order to heal an ancient wound, and to restore by Grace the order broken by disobedience. …
…Dear American brothers and sisters! Dear Patriots! this is a crucial moment for the
future of the United States of America and of the whole of humanity.
But the pandemic emergency, the farce of global warming and the green economy, and the
economic crisis deliberately induced by the Great Reset with the complicity of the
deep state, are all only the consequence of a much more serious problem, and it is
essential to understand it in depth if we want to defeat it. This problem is essentially
moral; indeed, it is religious.
We must put God back in the first place not only in our
personal lives, but also in the life of our society. …
…Yours must therefore be a work of truth, bringing to light the lies and deceptions of
the New World Order and their anti-human and antichristic matrix….”

Thank you so much for Archbishop Vigano’s letter!
i urge all Treepers to forward to their clergy, friends and family.
Thanks for being a safe place to post and share, Sundance, a a most blessed Christmas to all!
Greetings Ausonius- and many thanks for posting this most important message.
Ausonius,
Thank you for sharing this important message, and thank you for your many contributions to the Treehouse!
Merry Christmas!
82 yo Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former Papal Nuncio to the United States, is a defender of Freedom and Nature’s Law. He is one who loves America and what she stands for.
In a few paragraphs he gives a concise, intelligent, and relevant summary America’s situation. He ties it all together.
Thank you for sharing this important article.
former Papal Nuncio to the United States
He may be retired, but he’s still on the job, thank heaven!
This wonderful man risks much in bringing these messages to us.
He lives in hiding.
Let us pray for his continued protection and safety.
Many thanks to all for the nice comments!
Yes, Archbishop Vigano is a gem!
An Italian archbishop who loves America, cares for America, worries about America, desperately wants the best for America…
…much more than the fake American illegally occupying the White house right now!
I found his message uplifting, encouraging, and admonitory, and hope that it spreads throughout the country.
It’s my birthday today, and like everyday, I’m spending it hanging out on my small branch in the Treehouse being enlightened and entertained by Sundance and my fellow treepers. You all are absolutely the best! A Blessed Christmas to you all!
Happy Birthday,JN!
Merry Christmas to all!
Happy Birthday wishes to you!
Best wishes to you & yours. Cheers
Happy birthday JN! Mine was yesterday and I was blessed by having my family, vaxxed and unvaxxed around me. G-d is great and good, and may He bless you and everyone else, wherever they may be.
Happy Birthday JN!
And Merry Christmas to you and to all!!
Christmas Eve Travel Chaos: Hundreds Of Flights Canceled Due To Staffing Shortages
24 Dec 2021
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/flight-cancellations-christmas-eve-upend-holiday-travel
Update (0937ET): As Christmas Eve morning progresses, air travel chaos across the US worsens.
As of 0800 ET, CNN’s Pete Muntean said US airline carriers had canceled 450 flights due to staffing shortages linked to COVID-19 cases. He said 169 United Airlines Holdings Inc. and 127 Delta Air Lines Inc. flights were canceled.
The number of cancellations worldwide totaled 3,000, according to Flight Aware website. This is the latest blow to holiday travelers.
Holiday travelers received a troubling last-minute message: major airlines are canceling flights on Christmas Eve due to staffing shortages linked to COVID-19 cases.
According to Bloomberg, at least 200 flights on Friday have been canceled by United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc.
“The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation,” a United memo said, which was obtained by CNN.
We dropped our adult son off at KCI yesterday and what was missing were travelers. Plenty of staff, but no actual travelers getting on the planes. He didn’t have to wait in line for anything other than waiting for his plane for almost 2 hours in the actual waiting area. The parking garages were only half full and there wasn’t a ton of traffic around the air port. Easiest drop off we’ve ever done.
I saw quite a few out of state plates at the local gas hub at the beginning of the week. Makes me think more people chose to drive or stay home.
I’m thinking a loud message is being sent by the pilots and flight attendants.
Daily Mail US on Twitter: “American and Southwest Airlines’ CEOs say they don’t believe masks should be required on planes anymore https://t.co/IozHmDGwxP” / Twitter
Update- seems my company is delaying . Guess it’s taking them longer to read Title 7. Initially told us they would have a decision on exemption requests by January 3rd. Here’s their email yesterday.
“I am reaching out because you have attested that you would like to submit a request for an applicable legally recognized exemption from the vaccine requirement. I have received your documentation and I wanted to provide an update on next steps.
Decisions will begin to be communicated to employees in January. If additional information is needed from you, a meeting will be scheduled with you between the weeks of January 4th and January 21st. We plan to have a final decision to each employee by the end of January.
If for some reason we cannot approve or accommodate your exemption request, you will be given adequate time to decide to receive the vaccine or work with HR to create an individualized exit plan over the course of the weeks following.
If you have any questions, please feel free to respond to this email.“
The delay is better, more of the medical community will be forced to fess up to at least the fact that vaccines do not stop the virus or its transmission. There is no risk/benefit that possibly justifies mandates. Even the SC shouldn’t be so dumb as to step up and validate a vaccine mandate under these known conditions. It will always be your decision although the pressures being applied are significant.
“Individualized exit plan….”
Yellowstone Caldera can’t come soon enough in my opinion.
Stay strong brother.

List of Organizations That Help Americans Fight Mandates Against Our Freedoms
https://cleverjourneys.com/2021/09/10/list-of-organizations-that-help-americans-fight-mandates-against-our-freedoms/
Thanks!
Are there any corporate lawyers that help businesses? Specifically wondering if a business is headquartered in another state, but has separate businesses around the country under different names. Does the whole business employees count as one or can they be counted as separate for the mandate?
As Coffee and Covid lawyer pointed out, a religious exemption is not GRANTED by an organization, because it already exists per the constitution.
All you need to do is provide them notice that you are exercising the already existing right.
If they don’t acknowledge it they are in violation of the law.
Love this Stu, it is simple…it’s beautiful. Thanks.
There is no escape from this. Even “conservative” companies, like Rumble, require employees to be fully vaccinated — just check out their job listings on LinkedIn.
Wouldn’t it be nice to turn that phrasing around and be able to use that against them–
–” …submit a request for an applicable legally recognized exemption from the vaccine requirement…..”–
to
“Please submit your applicable legally recognized vaccine requirement for my lawyer to review.”

7 Staffers In Top Pentagon Delegation Test Positive For Covid, Despite All Being Vaxxed
23 Dec 2021
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/7-staffers-top-pentagon-delegation-test-positive-covid-despite-all-being-vaxxed
Despite the Pentagon recently touting that across armed services and the DoD about 97-98% of all personnel have been fully vaccinated, there’s been a new Covid outbreak among the highest ranks.
“Seven staffers who traveled with Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks last week tested positive for COVID-19, the Pentagon announced,” according to The Hill. She’s the second highest ranking Pentagon official in the United States government, and on that trip last week had traveled to several large US military bases.
Meanwhile, the Army, Air Force, and Marines have begun the process for discharging hundreds of service members who failed to get vaccinated by their respective branch deadlines. “The Army said it has reprimanded more than 2,700 soldiers and will begin discharge proceedings in January, while the Air Force has discharged at least 27 members,” NBC recently reported.
But the deeply awkward irony remains, underscored in these latest infections among the Pentagon’s highest ranks: without doubt those officers and staffers traveling with Deputy Secretary Hicks were fully vaccinated – and possibly also had received the booster as well. And yet the vaccine did not prevent infection in these cases.
If this doesn’t prove that they don’t care that they lie, and that they know we know they lie, nothing will.
Kool-aid Boosters
So on they’ll pretend the vac “working” for 3 months was the stated plan all along.😒
I recently tested positive & am older and at higher risk than any active duty military. May this show them all that the disease is no worse than a mild cold.
And that the Vaccine mania is Moderna NIAID patent holders’ marketing campaign.
According to this article there are questions as to whether or not the newly approved pills to treat the virus will cause new variants:

A person’s skin tone matters not. That she is a POS does.
Sadly, in our current environment, a person’s skin tone matters more than anything else.
You are spot on.
I disagree. Most people don’t care what your skin color is.
That’s true of regular people however not true of the media, politicians or persons required to execute the laws.
Unfortunately, most authorities/ people-in-charge-of-stuff do. Very, very much.
It is all about “skin-tone”. Anyone who disagrees are naïve, gullible and ignorant.

Best advice this native of CA ever got from a beat cop while working in the bad part of town was always roll, never stop. ‘Motion is life‘. That was in the 1980’s. It’s gotten worse over time. After a few years of that I took my business and left the city for good.
Under the law it’s called the Felony Murder Rule which means that if “anyone” dies during the commission of a felony it’s the criminal who is guilty of murder. Of course, under the new LAWFARE justice system that doesn’t exist anymore so the police will be blamed for the girl’s death.
“Popular Covid Home Test Kit Contains Lethal Drug That Is Fatal”
https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/popular-covid-home-test-kit-contains-lethal-drug-that-is-fatal/
Please be careful.
That is not the Abbott BinaxNOW Covid-19 Antigen Self Test being sold in pharmacies. Makes one wonder if this test has the same ingredients? Would be nice to know?
FTA “Greg Reese of Infowars.com recently published a report that reveals a lethal drug that is included in Abbott’s BinaxNOW COVID-19 Home Test Kit has a history of killing people even in small doses.” So it is the BinaxNOW Covid-19 Antigen Self Test, or the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card 2 Home Test pictured in the article or both?!
Video shows there is a warning in the Abbott BinaxNOW instructions. “#11 Do not dip the swab into the liquid reagent or other liquid before inserting the swab into the nose.” So the test is safe as long as the swab doesn’t touch any liquid before inserting into the nose! Good to know before testing!!!!
Ah…Houston there is a slight problem…what about the slightly acidic nasal or throat LIQUID in the human body where the test swab is inserted???
The Human body is well over 60% LIQUID.
Really? I wouldn’t touch the stuff for all the money on earth.

Trouble in Covidia with the Kool-Aid Boosters
“You are not fully vaccinated if it’s more than three months since your J&J vaccine!!” shouted one particularly agitated member to another attendee. “Excuse me! But have you had your booster? No, I didn’t think so. So you are the one not fully vaccinated!
https://lunaticoutpost.com/thread-277347.html
From the above link. Covid Kool-Aide insanity at a parent teacher assoc meeting.
COVID vaccination status
A Parent Teacher Association meeting recently ended in disarray after
arguments about the vaccination status of attendees. The initial
proposal to segregate the unjabbed passed without controversy although
some resentment arose from the Chairman’s instructions to spray the cordon sanitaire
separating the two groups. A short while into the meeting murmurings
arose when it emerged that many of the vaccinated group had received but
a single jab. Despite their angry protests this group was also ordered
to move to their own area of the venue.
Further confusion arose when an elderly lady revealed that she had
had jabs 1 and 3 plus the booster but not jab 2. After an animated
discussion the Chairman recommended that she sit on her own for the
duration of the meeting. Unfortunately disagreement continued among the
jabbed, rising to a clamour which eventually drowned out the Chairman.
“You are not fully vaccinated if it’s more than three months since your
J&J vaccine!!” shouted one particularly agitated member to another
attendee. “Excuse me! But have you had your booster? No, I didn’t
think so. So you are the one not fully vaccinated!” he
responded angrily.
“How dare you!” the other shouted, grabbing him by
the lapel, “are you calling me a liar?”. The pair grappled to cries of
“take your filthy not-fully-vaccinated paws off of me you granny killer”
as others joined in. Meanwhile the unjabbed cohort, embittered by what
seemed a lifetime of derision and ostracism, erupted from their
enclosure and fell upon the feuding vaccinated, venting their pent-up
fury on man and women without favour.
“Ladies and gentleman please.” the Chairman cried helplessly, before
suddenly collapsing to the ground holding his chest. A shocked silence
descended, you could hear a pin drop. Until one of the unjabbed remarked,“well at least we know for sure there’s one person in the hall who’s been fully vaxxed”.
Amen
If nearly 1% of the population dies each year, a random sampling of 10,000,000 people will likely show that nearly 100,000 of them died in any given year, regardless of any other factors.
Therein lies the motivation for more testing. The death numbers the left desires will certainly come as long as they have large enough numbers of “cases”.
This is sounding a lot like the night of 11/3/20 when the commies had to fake a large enough number of creepy joe ballots to cover up President Trump’s HUGE WIN!
“More testing to cover their covid hoax tracks” is analogous to “more creepy joe illegal ballots to cover up their BIG STEAL tracks.”
Mystery solved…… will someone please get the not-so-supreme court on the line? We have a country to save.
I went to bed that night with PDJT winning, I wake up the next morning and he lost. BS. If one state could decertify………………..I think it may snowball, thus the jan 6 psy-op

If you really want to understand the concerns about Molnupiravir, read this thread.
One concern of many noted in the thread:
“FDA and Merck both admit that the risk of onward transmission from MOV-treated patients exists if patients do not isolate & complete the 5-day, 40-pill course (or, presumably, take a lower dose). This is guaranteed to happen on a massive scale.”
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1474180376369278978.html
Purely greed and power behind these FDA decisions.
There can be no other reasonable conclusion when safe, effective early treatment protocols are vilified and hidden from the public, yet untested treatments with unknown risks and dubious effectiveness are promoted.
The most of the medical community is complicit, captured, brainwashed.
Do your homework before interacting with them.
There is no way I would take the Merck drug. There have been other warnings as well.
Connecticut Covid update – they made it harder to find State portal numbers – Official announcements now emphasize number of cases and vaccinations and have dropped previous link to portal ( narrative contradiction?) – But trend still same when find State portal – All cumulative numbers from March 2020 – Under 20 years old 99.9995% recovery rate -an unchanged 5 ( supposed) deaths on over 95,000 cases . Even under 50 recovery rate 99.91%
For 80 and older only 74% recovery rate , 70 -79 has 90% recovery rate and recovery rate increases as age categories decrease I.e. 60-69 had 97% and so on …. Hmmm
Since it’s Christmas Eve day – and since we are telling stories about past Christmases – I’ll repost this – Caution: have tissue handy
The Christmas Gift, a short, short story by Sallyann J Murphey
There is an old Christmas legend which tells us that barnyard animals are visited by the Holy Spirit each Christmas eve and, as a reward for the love they showed to the baby Jesus on the night of his birth, are granted the power of speech during the twelve strokes of midnight.
A cold wind, raw, relentless, swept across the snow and scattered crystals, pitter-pat, against the trunks of the trees. The dog sat in the shadow of the barn, seemingly unmoved by the bitter weather. If his body was quivering at all, it was from pure anticipation.
He was a handsome animal; a black Doberman with uncut ears which framed his face softly, making the dog look noble and much less threatening. His head was tilted slightly to one side – intelligent, amber eyes fixed on the farmhouse across the yard. This was his favorite time of day. In the confusion of the past couple of months, it had become the only thing he could count on.
Finally, the door flung open and golden light spilled onto the path. Noises drifted out on the night air, along with the unmistakable smell of freshly baked bread. The dog recognized it all – the laughter of the child, the murmur of the square machine, the man snoring quietly on the couch. This had been his home, his place in front of the wood fire, his family to guard and love.
“I’ll only be a minute!” A woman emerged, carrying a bucket. The dog’s tail began to wag slowly. She wore rubber boots and an old, black parka, with a green woolen scarf wound tightly around her neck. Her face was careworn and, despite many smile lines, her eyes looked sad.
She struggled down the icy path with the heavy bucket throwing her off balance. At one point, her left foot slipped and she began to fall. The dog started forward, but the woman caught herself in time. He slunk back to the building’s darkest corner.
“I’m here, I’m here,” she called to the animals inside and set the bucket down to slide open the huge barn door. A horse nickered from the gloom and two goats bleated greetings. “Special treat tonight” she announced, scooping out bowls of cracked corn. “Just make sure that you say something nice about us when the time comes.
The Doberman, who had slipped inside after his much-loved mistress, crept over and settled in behind some bales of straw. She didn’t see him, or if she did, she didn’t say a word.
It had been that way for weeks. No one paid attention to him anymore, and access to the house had, for some reason, been denied. The dog didn’t understand and had retreated with hurt feelings to watch his family from afar.
“Merry Christmas, everybody.” His mistress left, but the Doberman decided to stay, comforted by the company of others in the barn.
Far away, across frozen fields, the old church clock began to chime. As always, it started with a tinkling arpeggio, “ding, ding, ding, ding..ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…”, then paused before delivering its first bass note.
In that brief silence a voice spoke from the dark, “blessings on you all, good creatures.” The dog sat up, startled, and saw that the barn was flooded with light. The source of the radiance – and of the voice – seemed to be floating in the air, just above the horse’s stall.
“Bong…!”
“Welcome, spirit of the season.” The dog almost jumped out of his skin – it had been the horse who spoke. Well, not spoke exactly, but thought his thoughts in clearly-defined words.
“Thank you, leader of the barn,” the spirit replied. “I trust that there is much to celebrate…”
“Bong…!”
One by one, the animals described their year – the goats shyly reporting a good milk yield, a hen lamenting the loss of her chicks – before each was granted their Christmas wish; a spring kid, a fertile nest, abundant summer grazing. In the background the bell tolled, counting out the midnight hour.
The gift of speech had also been given to the Doberman, who found his mind filling up with words. They tumbled over each other in an incoherent jumble, like a dozen loud voices all shouting at once. The dog shook his head, as if he was trying to get a bug out of his ear.
“And Tramp…” The use of his name cut through all of the noise. “Tramp – it’s time you came with me.” The dog padded forward and sat staring at the light. He had a puzzled expression on his face. The spirit continued, “You have to let go. It’s time to move on.”
The dog selected his thoughts slowly.
“But… all I love… is… here. My job… to stay.”
A feeling of warmth and sorrow enveloped the animal. “You are no longer of this world,” the spirit said gently. “Don’t you remember?”
A picture flashed into the Doberman’s mind: A sunny day, running ahead of his mistress in the woods; barking at a stranger, a bad man who would hurt her with the black stick in his hand; then pain – terrible, searing pain – and, from somewhere, a final scream.
“Yes,” the dog thought reluctantly. “Yes… now I do.”
“You will see them again,” the spirit assured him. “You will be there to guide them to the light and then you will be together always.
“No, no,” the dog’s thoughts rebelled, “not… yet.”
“There is nothing left for you to do here,” the spirit went on patiently. “Yes,” the dog countered, “yes…My Christmas gift.” The barn was silent, all eyes on the light.
“What could you want?” the spirit asked. “You, who now have everything?” “Want…” the dog chose thoughts with care. “Want… to say good-bye.”
The horse sneezed and one of the goats bleated unhappily.
“No,” the spirit reassured them, “it’s all right.
The voice paused to consider. “Tramp,” it finally replied, “you may have your gift, but you must leave with me on the stroke of twelve.”
“Bong…!”
“Ten,” the dog counted, as he ran across the yard. “Go to trees.” He had seen her there on many nights, standing under the giant firs by a little block of stone. Often, she would whimper and her face would get all wet, in that strange way that humans had. He couldn’t be sure, but he thought she’d be there now.
The woman had finished arranging holly around the marker and was about to go inside. She sat back on her haunches, just as a black silhouette moved into the corner of her eye. “Don’t go,” a voice said, somewhere in her head. She turned and gasped at the sight of the dog, sitting a few feet from her side. His ears were down and he shifted happily from paw to paw, almost dancing. His tail wagged furiously.
She reached towards him, but the voice spoke again. “Can’t touch…” it warned and her hand dropped into her lap. “Oh, Tramp…” she whispered. “I’ve missed you so!” The dog sent waves of love to lap away her sadness.
“Bong…!”
“Go soon…” she heard. “Come to say… good-bye.” The wetness started around her eyes and the dog rushed to reassure her. “No… no pain. We will walk… together… always. I wait for you…”
Her tears now flowed in earnest, but through them, the dog saw her smile. She looked deep into his amber eyes. “You have always given me gifts,” she said. “But this hope is the greatest of them all.” They held each other’s gaze as the bell chimed twelve and his much-loved figure began to melt away.
The dog’s last memory of earth would be his mistress holding up her hand in jubilant salute…

“Life in a prison cell may well be compared to Advent:
one waits, hopes, and does this, that, or the other—
things that are really of no consequence—
the door is shut, and can only be opened from the outside.”

to Eberhard Bethge, November 21, 1943
There is another door that opens only from the inside. It is the one Jesus is knocking on.

Bandwagon for sure….. but it looks like ben garrison is the one jumpin’ on the “we got him this time” bandwagon……
Some people never learn ……..
Even some newbie MAGAs are back-slidin’ RINO / GOPe, aka opportunists.
Note to self: make a note as to which ones show their colors when they think they got him, again.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
Trump needs to fix it fast. Garrison said what needed to be said. We don’t need this to turn into an avalanche but it is about to.
It’s 3 am.
I agree with you. This cartoon is a reflection of the reality now.
So is this…
I agree. The “vaccines” need to be seen for what they are, big pharma money makers and population control. They harm people by injury and death and compromise immune systems. They have no benefit as they neither prevent contracting or transmitting the virus. In fact, they serve to cause the virus to mutate and prolong the nonsensical “pandemic.” The emergency needs to be declared OVER.
Well Dilbert, the enemy has activated their backup bot teams for this Christmas Eve effort because they know they have lost the war and are grasping at straws.
It is “doomsday” for the coupies, regardless of the time of day.
This is a good read about the current status of the war. The coup plot leaders know they lost the war months ago, they just haven’t told the front line troops.

Was just thinking on this “we got him now” bandwagon this morning, remembering all those who thought they finally got Trump only to discover it was they, themselves, who were gotten. From the early days of Meghan Kelly all through the two impeachments, realized now it will be this Jan. 6th committee’s turn to get gotten.
Having my favorite political cartoonist run with the fear porn is just another glitch in the matrix.
Having lost two people, one directly from the clots created by the shot, another from the virus after having been fully vaccinated, a third now in the final days of her life from a cancer that suddenly appeared 30 days after her 2nd shot, in full stage 4 regalia- find there are many more in my circle who, some with co-morbidities and some without, are doing quite well after being fully vaxxed and even boostered;
so find myself still wondering what the right questions to be asked are.
It does look like people are being pushed, nonstop, into the fear side of the equation and I do have to ask if these are not the exact same psy-operators who’s handiwork created the tick-tock seventeenth letter khaki pants phenomena, and are now pushing people into the next phase of their anti-Trump strategy so as to weaken his chances of obtaining a 2024 primary win? Am coming to this observation because one cannot go to a single ‘right-leaning’ site without scare stories and no balancing observations permitted without being labeled troll.
This really is another part of the Big Ugly we’re living through, right?
The commie, covid gangsters use PsyOps whenever their propaganda line starts to lose its steam.
But, the truth, when applied liberally (no pun intended), is an antivenin for all PsyOps.
They have activated their backup bot teams for this Christmas Eve effort because they know they have lost the war and are grasping at straws ……. much like the japs did with their kamikaze pilots and hitler did with his v2 rockets in the final days of WWII.
This is a good read about the current status of the war. If you are MAGA, it will make you smile. If you are a coupie, it will make you weep.

Lance Wallnau tells the story behind some of our famous Christmas carol.
“Do not let these 545 people (Congress, Supreme Court, President) shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.” Charley Reese
Most those 545 have been; bribed, blackmailed, coerced, and compromised. In effect they are most all criminals.
I commented yesterday about the Kim Potter prosecution and guilty verdict. I essentially said she was incomprehensibly incompetent but not guilty of Manslaughter 1st Degree, or 2nd Degree after reading Minnesota law.
Alan Dershowitz agrees: “An elderly driver accidentally putting a foot on the gas instead of the brake and killing a child is not necessarily a crime,” Dershowitz argued. “It becomes a crime only if the action was reckless, involving a conscious decision to engage in conduct which the defendant knows poses a high risk of serious injury or death.”
Link to Story This is just a continuation of hating the police, even by prosecutors. There was no basis for her arrest. Civil suit? Yes. Arrest and criminal prosecution? No!!
Yet Lt. Michael Byrd, the U.S. Capitol Police Officer who without warning fatally shot unarmed Ashli Babbitt is cleared of any wrongdoing! How can that be? Just more evidence of the banana republic corrupt two tier Justice system run by leftists/Democrats! Officer Bird is in the top tier along with all Democrats where illegal acts and wrongdoing are covered up/not prosecuted!
Looks lovely, Merry Christmas!

Getting sick? Did you know that 50,000 IU s of Vitamin D taken for 2-3 days is called: “The Hammer?”
https://vitamindanswers.com/vitamin-d-hammer-beating-the-flu-in-72-hours/
so I dont read too much about the vaccine because I have a Banking background and focus research on the Central Bankers. I feel like I understand the currency issues, the scientific stuff not so much. But you would have to be living under a rock not to read about PDJT position on the vaccine these past few days.
PDJT didnt actually create a vaccine did he? He rolled out the “Warpspeed” program which facilitated the quick creation of a vaccine? And I believe patents are not available to “Warpspeed” participants. Moderna is fighting this I believe and Pfizer did not participate in “Warpspeed” because of the patents.
I am wondering if President Trump isnt drawing attention to the Warpspeed program and potential patents rather than a vaccine itself. Is PDJT claiming vaccines through HHS and DoD “Warpspeed” are safe? I dont see a man like PDJT taking crap for 6 years and then blundering so quickly
Here is an interesting article on Mike Pence’s “warpspeed” program and it’s relationship with drug maker PFIZER. PFIZER really wants you to understand the U.S. Government was not involved.
FTA
“The Trump administration had offered Pfizer nearly $2 billion to rush the vaccine to market, but the company only accepted funding for production and distribution.
“We were never part of the Warp Speed,” Kathrin Jansen, a Pfizer senior vice president and head of vaccine research and development, told the Times. “We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.”
Many experts viewed Operation Warp Speed as a political stunt to help Trump get reelected.”

I don’t know any more than you do
But I believe Trump knows more than any of us know.
I also believe there is more going on than we know about
I also believe in Devolution as described by Patel Patriot.
They call it Hopium
“They call it Hopium”
Much better than Coup-ium.
I have always opined Trumps “warp speed” was to force the Communist/Fascist/ Totalitarians to expedite their “takeover plan” way, way much sooner than thy had planned. This forced them to make mistakes because they were rushed and not ready.
As I see it, “warp speed” worked and is presently working beautifully. Just ask yourself what are the drop in polls saying? What are the decline in major media viewership saying?
i see it the way you do
I always remember the Ben Franklin way of making decisions: Make 2 lists. One with all the pluses, one with all the minuses. See which is longer – which has more important items on it.
The ‘news’ is full of the terrible things coming from this admin (and I have seen several lists). I wish there were a list of our wins. They are featured one here, one there – but i would love a list – to put beside the list of Biden failures.
If i had a wish for Christmas….
He really tried to answer her questions…..
NJ to pay $52.9M to families of vets who died of COVID in state-run homes
The state of New Jersey has agreed to pay a nearly $53 million settlement to the families of 119 residents of the state’s military veteran facilities who died.
https://nypost.com/2021/12/23/nj-to-pay-52-9m-to-families-of-vets-who-died-of-covid-in-state-run-homes/
He really did try. Good for him; much respect.
Yes, he was polite and trying to answer However, shouldn’t he have asked himself these questions long before now? Before injecting anyone?
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen!
It’s one of those 800lb gorilla things. I turned on Pandora which has literally thousands of channels and selected the channel called “Christmas.” It said there were 69 million people listening to the station playing beautiful uplifting Christian and traditional Christmas music.
In comparison, those tuning in CNN to listen to snarky-woke communist agitprop are averaging 538,000 over the day, less than 1% of the people who looked for and prefer “Christmas.” And just think of the millions who like Christmas who aren’t listening to this one Pandora channel.
It stops being a poll when the number gets big enough, it’s called…Reality. aka We The People. MSM’s job1 is to make us think we are really small and they are really big. Not!
Sometimes CNN has interesting days where its viewership goes down during prime time

Imagine the US Treasury printing duplicates for the dollars that come out of their printing presses. The duplicates are then distributed among the leftist elite. Cash is great when you don’t want to leave a trail. And that cash is genuine. Not counterfeit.
On the face of it, corruption this absurd couldn’t possibly happen. Or could it? The left always coordinates. What leftists in one country do, you can bet leftists everywhere else know and plot.

McCarren Airport in Las Vegas changes it’s name to Harry Reid Airport.
I think I’m going to be sick.
There should be laws in all 50 states that nothing can be named after a politician.
https://www.thespectrum.com/story/news/2021/12/14/vegas-airport-set-change-name-harry-reid-international/8892911002/
This is really a black eye on the image of Vegas around the world
Haha, I see what you did there.
My elderly husband sometimes watches the mainstream narrative-pushing, and as a result I happened to see this news article about a local black history mural having been vandalized. They mentioned that if the culprits were caught they would be charged with a “hate crime.”
Why isn’t vandalism of statues or other memorials of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Hamilton, Adams, Robert E. Lee, etc. also considered a hate crime? It is almost always done by POCs, and these forebears are all Caucasians.
https://krdo.com/news/2021/12/20/black-history-mural-on-wash-u-campus-vandalized-with-racist-graffiti-2/
If you don’t hear anything more, the vandals were of an inconvenient race.
Yes. But WHY ISN’T IT ALSO A “HATE CRIME”?
Well, McCarren is the name of a politician, so there’s that. Used to be that politicians’ names were put on buildings and such only after they were dead. Guess the Nv. legislature forgot that part of it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!
Merry Christmas 🌵
Saw a clip on insta of FJB and Jill taking calls and wishing merry Xmas to people- one man said “let’s go Brandon” and Biden said “let’s go Brandon, I agree” and Jill was pissed.
Merry Christmas everyone 🥰🎄

This is the video from insta. Not sure if it’s private or not. Enjoy
just a couple more items on “Operation Warp Speed”
When PDJT created it the program was for a Vaccine as well as Therapeutics and Treatments. Biden Admin dropped the Therapeutics and Treatments part of the program
A condition of “Warp Speed” was our military distributing the injections. Could this have been a safety valve?
President Trump is against mandates and says any vax is a personal choice
Thank you for posting this
Yes! Great post!
Agree, the fault lies with Fauci.. And would further add that moment in time doing nothing was not an option. I content these “vaccines” were meant for the most vulnerable, generally old people with health issues.
“… these “vaccines” were meant for the most vulnerable..”
Wrong.
To understand the development of the vaccine check with Dr. David Martin. There is nothing in his research remotely suggesting the elderly were the vaccine targets.
The vaccines were developed over a period of years in anticipation of the inevitable viral pandemic declared today. The cov2 creators/vaccine developers/pandemic prophets were Baric from UNC, Daszack from ecohealth alliance, Fauci, Collins, and the bat lady from china and a bunch of lesser knowns.
The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take the vaccine. … if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. .. People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.” -Donald Trump
To each his own. Definitely not my views.
The line for the “We got him this time” t-shirts forms to the right. Have your $50 ready. All sales are final, no refunds.

Johns Hopkins reveals how to stop the omicron variant in new ‘Home Alone’ video (msn.com)
Do you guys remember how Pfizer’s vaccines had to be stored at -200 degrees when it was introduced.? That doesnt seem very user friendly. Also didnt FDA hold up the Warp Speed vax for about a month till after the election? FDA delays an experimental status drug that was causing the world economy to crawl to a stand still?
Funny that the media narrative of the Kim Potter trial never said much about the black man she killed.
Fortunately, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison opened his mouth and did the usual lecture about what Duante Wright could have been had he not been killed. Thanks to that, now I know.
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/397085.php
Daunte Wright had led a life of crime and violence in the years before his death, DailyMail.com can reveal
The 20-year-old was involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and previously assaulted and robbed a woman at gunpoint
Jennifer LeMay said Wright shot her son, Caleb Livingston, 18, in the head and at a gas station and left him to die in an incident in Minneapolis in May 2019
Caleb now suffers from a traumatic brain injury and respiratory arrest, and is bound to a wheelchair. He cannot speak and requires 24/7 care

Useless Christmas Trivia
(That You May Find Pretty Useful)
By P.J. O’Rourke
This year, you may be back to having a great big, old-fashioned family Christmas dinner… Good luck with that.
Sometimes it’s hard to get the conversation started. More often, it’s hard to get the conversation stopped. As soon as everybody starts screaming and yelling at one another, it’s your job, as host, to quickly CHANGE THE SUBJECT!
Below are a few random items of useless Christmas trivia. Interject them loudly in a commanding tone of voice, and maybe your guests will be momentarily distracted and quit venting their spleens at one another… and start venting them at you.
(Incidentally, the following information is all true so far as the author – and Google – can determine.)
“The original ‘St. Nick’ was Saint Nicholas of Myra, a fourth-century bishop in Asia Minor who was famously generous to the poor but so shy about his generosity that he used to drop gifts down poor people’s chimneys in the middle of the night. This is why Santa Claus comes down the chimney. [Cast meaningful glance at roaring blaze in fireplace.] Anyone smell burning elf?”
“One of the miracles that St. Nicholas performed was the resurrection of three little children killed by an evil butcher who cured their meat and claimed it was pork. Pass the ham.”
“St. Nicholas is also the patron saint of pawnbrokers, just in case someone had to go into hock to buy me the matching set of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer socks, necktie, and pocket square. You know who you are.”
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was created in 1939 for a Montgomery Ward Christmas promotional coloring book. The character was originally rejected by the department store’s executives because red noses were associated with alcoholism. Did Rudolph ever get so drunk that he guided Santa to any of your houses?”
“We call St. Nick ‘Santa Claus’ because we get many of our Christmas traditions from the New Amsterdam Dutch. The way the Dutch pronounce ‘St. Nicholas’ is Sinterklass. And speaking of Rudolph’s red nose, this is how some people at this table are beginning to pronounce their words. I spiked the eggnog with Everclear, in the hope that at least a few of you would pass out face-first in your plates. Santa’s helpers are standing by at EMS.”
“Sinterklass has a helper called Zwarte Piet who wears blackface and carries bad children away in a sack. The Dutch claim this isn’t racist. I’ve invited Megyn Kelly to come over this evening and discuss the subject. She’ll be bringing her own sack.”
“Zwarte Piet also carries a broom to spank naughty children. In Norway, they hide their brooms at Yuletide, not just for the sake of the kids, but because legend has it that witches and warlocks come out on Christmas Eve looking for brooms to ride on. I’ve gathered every broom I could find in the house and left them in the front hall in case anyone would like to go for a spin.”
One of the best “change the subject” lines…..

Dr. Jill got it.
Deja-fool.
Joe’s vacant “thousand inch” stare, reminded me of Alzheimer Untouchable, Robert Mueller, when he accused himself of not knowing who Fusion-GPS was & his israeli sidehack handler, couldn’t save him.

Who was the “Israeli sidehack handler”?

Is Weissman an Israeli or is “Mathias” just anti Semetic?
