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.

Holy-Moly Mortgage Rates Hit 5.64%, 10-Year Treasury Yield 3.12%, Long-Term Treasury Bond Fund Gets Massacred
by Wolf Richter • May 7, 2022
https://wolfstreet.com/2022/05/07/so-the-fed-gets-ready-to-walk-away-from-the-bond-market-and-all-kinds-of-stuff-happens/
In 2021, a home bought at the national median price at the time of $326,300, with 10% down, and financed at the average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate at the time of 3.09%, came with a monthly payment of $1,251.
In 2022, a home bought at the median price of $375,300, with 10% down, and financed at 5.27% came with a monthly payment of $1,869.
In other words, the mortgage payment jumped by nearly 50%, and related expenses of property taxes and insurance also increased. This 50% jump in cost of homeownership at the current price is going to wipe out demand from big layers of potential buyers.
[snip]
Interest rate repression, including through QE, caused the biggest housing bubble ever. Interest rate increases, including through QT, are going to unwind it. It’s the Fed’s effort to get the housing bubble under control before it tears up the financial system again.
When you hold an overinflated balloon between your finger and thumb and try to let some air out, sometimes it gets away from you.
I figure my locked 2.5% rate means with 16% Inflation and a 6% real yield on newa mortgages means the banks are paying me to live here since I’m paying in heavily depreciated dollars.
Shovel more and more sand into the gears
Most mortgages are packaged and sold. The 1970s inflation caused the savings and loan debacle, when banks had to pay higher rates for short term deposits than they were collecting on long term mortgages. Banks don’t need your deposits today because the FED created $ 9 trillion dollars and stuffed the cash in the bank’s pockets. That’s a big difference today than the 70’s, then you could get high interest on your savings, today nothing.
Previous financial planner. CFP, Series 7 and 66 certified. Very aware of the S&L crises as well as the GFC.
Now I run a construction business and small farm. Got away from the financial centers as much as I could!
Wise choice, OCB!
Okie…: Smart.
“Most mortgages are packaged and sold.”
And The Fed has bought $2.7 trillion of them:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/current/h41.htm
We used to talk about billions, but billions have gone the way of the penny. Now we throw around trillions, what’s after trillions. This cannot possibly end well.
What’s after trillions?
Default.
When they have to start printing 10,000 dollar bills the stack won’t be as high.
A complete failure of the once greatest country in the world. FJB and worse.
Will we survive demented china joe, or faux president?
Here are the next names, and the list continues at the link ~
One million
One billion
One trillion
One quadrillion
One quintillion
One sextillion
One septillion
One octillion
One nonillion
One decillion

And all because of one reptilian
Exactly, and now you think that the Federal Reserve is now going to sell the trillions of dollars in Treasury Bonds and mortgages they bought at 1% – 2% when the bond market has devalued the bonds by 50%?
Winston: In other words, the source of America’s “wealth” is us.
It always been.
Amen
Been saying that for years.
Well said, Puzzled!
In 2022, a home bought at the median price of $375,300, with 10% down, and financed at 5.27% came with a monthly payment of $1,869. Same home in the future selling at $187,650, 10% down at 5.27% monthly payment equals $741.68 monthly interest payment.
The issue in a depression, even $741 per month is a challenge. you can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip.
You forget that 50% of the homes in the United States don’t have any mortgage and are owned free and clear!
So what?
if you have a Communist/Fascist/ Totalitarian government you find out who and what really owns your home and it is not YOU.
You are sounding as crazy as the Leftist loonies today. Nobody is going to take your home!
“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” – just how they plan to “achieve” this is a mystery to me, but they bandy it about all the time – so be certain they have a plan to accomplish just that. The how is 25 decillion dollar question.
I’m a locked 2.7%. Got our forever home right before 3November 2020. Lucky us 🤞🏼
I guess I better gear up to start cleaning out foreclosures in Central Florida, again..
There’s the new job you’re looking for!!
It ’twas brutal from 06 to 08! We’d come in, cut down a yard that hadn’t been touched in a year, and then start filling up a 36 yard goose neck dump trailer with every thing the former tenants couldn’t carry out when the Sheriff dispossessed them, to go and dump it all into the Orange County Landfill. There was no time to sort the stuff out and sell it via second hand stores or to even donate whole houses worth of useable goods to homeless shelters or other charity organizations. After the houses were junked out, including the attics, which are not fun to be in any season in Florida, we’d begin the cleaning process which was a challenge with no power or water. Once we were done, the other trade crews would come in and rehab the houses which the Hedge Funds from Atlanta quickly flipped. The money was great until the HF’s stopped paying us vendors. They kept sending work, promising to pay but never did. Most of us did not have the capital to bang it out in Court with the banksta gangstas and cut our losses and got out of it right about the time the Brazilians were buying up property like mad in Central Florida, requiring more construction, irrigation and landscape installation.
something tells me this time around a lot of people are simply going to refuse to leave their current home – and I mean like a hard refuse, not whining online or spending some time in court.
And a lot of sheriff’s are going to decide not to do the bidding of Davosian banks by putting their own lives at risk to boot people out.
Maybe.
Saw the video, with documentation it was legitimate
Remember banks were auto-pen signing eviction notices, as they had so many of them?
Oops, they accidentally evicted a guy that was not behind on his payments.
HE showed up in Court to contest, the Bank neglected to send a Representative.
He had all the paperwork, showing he was up on his payments.
The Judge found in his favor, and signed a court order, allowing HIM to take “ownership” of the Bank.
The video is of him, showing up at the Bank with the Sheriff, serving the Bank manager with the papers, and telling him he has 15 minutes to vacate.
It was GLORIOUS! Needless to say, they came to a settlement, and he did not ACTUALLY end up “owning the bank”.
100% with ya. This will be depression level dispossessed yet an armed and tired of being pushed around society.
How many deputies will die attempting to foreclose with bank rep present before sherrifs start telling the banks they’re on their own? I know that’ll be my last stand should it come to that.
agreed. The difference between this depression and the last? IMO during the 30’s there was still some semblance of loyalty and community.
This time, I simply do not regard the republic as still standing, so my tolerance to an appeal to “law and order” is VERY low. the only loyalty left to offer is to Davosians, unless we decide to stop consenting, so yeah – no thanks.
obeying the “law” of an illegitimate government that has abdicated its most basic responsibility to its people… is neither a moral obligation nor an ethical imperative.
Back in the days of the Dust Bowl and depression, folks who lost everything still had a place they could pack up and go. A place that offered them hope and prosperity and a future for their children. That place was California. Funny how things have changed.
The creepiest part was when we’d pull into a cul-de-sac and nearly every cookie cutter house would be vacant! It was really pretty sad overall. At this stage I don’t think my back will let me perform that kind of work. It’s just as well, I didn’t care for finding a bunch of kink gear people left behind.
In the 80s in Houston, as oil approached $10 a barrel, entire subdivisions were nearly vacant. It was a very sad time for Houston. The folks who had the cash to buy the repos made out like bandits though.
This is why the Sheriff’s election/position is so important. Remember the Natl. Park Police who stopped tourists from photographing open air, but “closed” national monuments or using the rest rooms during a government shutdown. Some of those brown shirts take glee in confiscating property and inflicting pain, just following orders.
Many squat in other people’s homes right now and have rights ….why not squat in your own? However I can see it may turn out to be , system wise, easier to squat in someone’s house rather than your own. 😒
When I went in to real estate I and a partner had an entire defunct subdivision to sell. The houses were $10,000 to $ 10,500 depending on a fireplace or not. Veterans could buy with just $50 down payment if they qualified. There were times I had loan the $50 deposit. Gas at the time was 25 cents per gallon. Lol
Oh my goodness! When gas was 25 cents a gallon I was 16, just driving an old 1949 Chevy,(family car), and would walk along the highway picking up glass soda bottles to turn in for the 3 cent deposit to buy a gallon of gas for Sat night cruising. Oh….those were the days.
Amen! Back in the day before the leftist corrupt msm began labeling We The People as racists, homophones, chauvinists, deplorables, sexists, extremists, scumbags, insurrectionists, haters, anti science, anti vaxxers, isolationists and xenophobiaists! That’s just a partial list!
It would be more efficient, wordwise, if they just called us ‘panphobic’. (since we fear and hate everything and everyone)
I’m so stealing that!
I was born in the wrong decade, apparently.
Real estate is a major part of our economy, buyers, sellers, renters, lenders, processors, underwriters, appraisers, homebuilders, architects, city planners, the secondary market where loans are resold, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA, USDA, FHA. Beyond that many folks borrow against their equity and both local and federal taxes are significant. Raising rates this quickly for the average Joe will slow down the economy quickly.
It’ll have knock on effects as you suggest as well. Most notably property taxes and states who fund pensions via those taxes.
I keep repeating this: Property taxes are another government pick-pocket scheme. Most of us rail at the democrats’ plans to tax unrealized gains. But we have all just gone along without a whisper with how property values are assessed by our local governments. We may have paid $100k for our home 30 years ago. But during the years the tax values assessed have increased exponentially as other people in our market area have sold and moved on. Even though our property may be able to be sold at a terrific gain, the fact is that we/you are still living there. The cash return is not yet in our bank accounts. Yet our taxes keep going up. For those on fixed incomes, they may lose their homes due to nothing more than values inflated by a combination of the market and aggressive tax assessors.
Home owners don’t really own their homes when the government can take it away for small amounts of unpaid taxes.
And to add insult to injury, if a homeowner wants to dispute the valuation in order to get a small reduction, the government requires the homeowner to expend more money for appraisals, attorney representation and related costs to prove that the assessor is wrong.
There needs to be a movement to keep property valuations stable until the assumed increase in value becomes realized gain.
Homestead tax exemption is great, if you can obtain it. While not perfect, my gains are capped at 3% per annum for property taxes, and I can dispute the increase still should I so chose to do so.
Both Florida and incredibly California have a property tax cap at 2%.
We had a situation locally, at the time of the last government-induced real estate bubble. A young woman inherited her parents old home, in which she was living. The house was an old farmhouse, the area around it grew into a suburban area, especially during the previous real estate bubble.
The government conducted a reassessment at the height of the bubble. The woman was not fully employed due to mental health problems, and was going to be forced out of the home her parents thought they had provided her, a home that had been paid off for decades.
Property taxes can become outright theft.
I could go on and on about people who were hit hard by that last bubble.
Most homes in my area only went up in value on paper.
It’s been going on for a long time.
In 1866, in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, a widow w/ five minor children lost 400 acres of prime bottomland and a big fine house because she couldn’t pay $12 in tax. Her husband, a LTC in the Confederate Army, was killed during the siege of Vicksburg in 1863.
the “movement” you suggest should be simple: come take it, MFer.
If only a few do it, thats their problem. If millions do it, thats the fascists problem.
Just you wait. Washington will soon put into place a Federal property tax. Local governments will scream that property taxes are their “rice bowl”, but Congress will just laugh. When you can’t come up with an extra $25,000 a year in these new taxes, your home will be turned over to Blackrock with 10% for the Big Guys.
I expect them to implement a Euro-style Value Added Tax first.
The Tax Assessor’s Office in Orange County was like a dog in a meat house! Still is!
This is a real key and the sooner people get with it the better. It will eventually reduce bloated government having less money to bloat.
Jimmy Carter days, Phoenix Az. Refinanced my house for 60K to put a pool in. By the time it closed mortgage rates jumped from 8% to 12% thanks to now the third worst pResident behind Obie and Brandon. The only saving grace was the price of housing in Phoenix in 1985. Today that rate jump would be a deal breaker. That house is now worth 325K.
Oops, that was 1980 or 81.
It takes a lot of time by good people to clean up messes made by others – especially when the mess is scattered all over a country.
[ the smily Carter miss lead years, latter 70’s, set up a tough economic etc situation…including people losing equipment, farms, products which rippled into every walk of life..etc.
Turning the economic engine off or on is more than a light switch.
It takes a lot of people wanting to persevere to selflessly work together to turn it on. [ it’s happened before…not fast …but durable…] Many were a part of the Reagon efforts to uplift the country.
[ to many others make selfish ruins of others good selfless efforts to help others…
but, many good have gained the coping skills during life experiences to perversere through the adversities…and achieve… ]
Love thy neighbors
Imagine what it was like in the Military during the Carter years.
I was in 3rd Armored Division from 1976-1978. We never had enough money to repair our vehicles when they broke down. During alerts, the division was expected to occupy positions in the Fulda Gap. A sizable number of vehicles broke down on the way.
Due to lack of funds for maintenance and commanders who fudged the readiness reports.
Scottyguitar: Today, all that broken down military equipment would be given to Ukraine.
For those with just a little bit of commonsense will be able to buy homes by simply taking over the house loan. However, those with real common sense will be able to buy homes beginning at 50% present value and less…… I saw it before and now I will see it again.
Let’s Go Brandon!
The interest rates were raised now so they can be dropped big time in October after the new inflation stats recycle in July. It’s all been worked out and agreed to with Obama. You don’t seriously think that the New York Democrat controlled Federal Reserve is now going to sabotage Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff and the Democrat Party in the mid-term election? LOL
You leave out the two most important names in your list; McConnell and McCarthy.
Without them, Pelosi and yes, even Obama are NOTHING.
Comrade Citizen California Joe: It is not wise to say such things in public places. We will be keeping an eye on you.
They probably already are!
IMHO, IT (the collapse of the Worldwide Financial System) is and was always inevitable; the emergency measures of QE and 0 interest didn’t change that, they just POSTPONED it.
Which is why the measures have remained, despite the “recovery”.
They have spent the intervening years, figuring out how they can “manage” the inevitable collapse, positioning themselves to A) profit from it, or at least not lose, and B) retain or even increase their power, control and prestige.
Dutchman: Sounds like the perfect time for a nice little war in Ukraine.
I wish to expand on the wonderful analysis Neil Oliver writes and speaks about.
Oliver points to a Russian writer, Elena Ghorokova, who once wrote a memoir about her life growing up in the Soviet Union called “A Mountain of Crumbs.”
In it, she described how the population was ground down by fear, a want of necessities, and unimaginable hardship until people found they could best cope by pretending.
The intimate and unforgettable picture of Russian society in the Cold War decades after 1945 about the Russian peoples’ relationship with the Marxist Administrative State boiled down to this: “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.”
Many people today in the US are simply at the ends of their rope with CRT, 1619 project, BLM, gender equity, transgender and disinformation bullshit—and why wouldn’t we be?
The Biden Administration lies to us, the people. We, the people, know we are being lied to. The Administrative State knows that the people know they are being lied to.
Nevertheless, our ill-begotten but dedicated Marxist State continues to lie. They lie incessantly with impunity because it is all a great pretense played by these American Marxist actors with power against those with none.
And just to survive, the progressive left wants us to conform to their agenda and play our assigned parts by joining in the pretense.
Except we won’t. We have not yet begun to fight.
That book, along with several others, e.g. Everyday Stalinism and of course The GULAG Archipelago should be required reading in our high schools and colleges.
Also: Omnipotent Government by Ludwig von Mises.
From Amazon’s summary:
“Published in 1944, during World War II, Omnipotent Government was Mises’s first book written and published after he arrived in the United States. In this volume Mises provides in economic terms an explanation of the international conflicts that caused both world wars.
Although written more than half a century ago, Mises’s main theme still stands: government interference in the economy leads to conflicts and wars. According to Mises, the last and best hope for peace is liberalism―the philosophy of liberty, free markets, limited government, and democracy.”
“Liberalism” in the old classic sense is today’s Conservatism!
Even scarier when you think these books were written before the total digital Surveillance State.
Isn’t it amazing how Mises ‘Liberalism’ was distorted into just the opposite? People preaching those things used them to impoverish us, grow government, create conflicts and wars, and steal our liberty and democracy.
Freedom and Capitalism are intertwined. Most people don’t understand what Capitalism really means due to Marxist teachers in our schools.
Capitalism = One person freely exchanging something he owns for something he values freely offered by another owner.
Produces a win-win and prosperity every time. This prosperity is the tide that raises all ships. Everything else is just a variation of the Booty System.
If you work for the government or a multinational corporation or any business that tried to force you to take the clot shot or wear a mask, etc., you should do the minimum amount of work required to not be fired.
Screw them
Yes, but we darn well better start preparing for that fight including a leader who will lead us and not just talk about it. We teeter on the brink of the abyss at this moment. Zero Hedge had a piece on the railroads and how they are increasingly limiting service for necessary commodities. If we think things are bad now, just wait until this summer. How much longer can we take this abuse?
Agreed!
We are fighting back everyday.
Frankly it has become enjoyable.
Fortunately we took care of debt, and have a “ little cushion”
Cheers to all!
“ Nae Surrender”
I offered the following on Friday: my conversation with this military source has been nagging me since then.
Allow me to offer it again for those who may have missed it:
“Disturbing news from my contact in mid-to-upper-level military intelligence: this person checks on various technological things among our “partners, allies, and friends,” which is the terminology used to rank the trustworthiness of assorted countries buying – or being given – our military systems.
NATO countries (allies) are not particularly trusted with anything important.
According to this source, the Japanese are scared of- and even expecting – an invasion of Taiwan.
“Right now, we cannot win any scenario in the Pacific (short of nuclear annihilation). Australia (a “partner”) is the key, and there is no victory possible without Australia’s help…and that would not be coming.”
This source reported that the Japanese are thinking of preparing schoolchildren for a Chinese attack.
The Ukraine? “Morale is so low not only because of the Ukraine, but because of the entire atmosphere coming out of the illegal D.C. regime.”
Lithuania right now is extremely nervous, along with the other Baltic States…and rightly so!
MAObama’s generals and the military’s political correctness are despised:
“If I am in a battle, and the person next to me cannot really handle the job, but is considered qualified because he/she ‘checked off all the boxes’ of political correctness...”
This source expects nothing good if any kind of election fraud takes place in 2022 and 2024 to keep these Communists in power, and expects the next two years to be the most dangerous since 1939-1940.
Here is the irony of election fraud, which I pointed out to my source and with which this person agreed:
If in fact it seems that President Trump (or a President DeSantis) could be elected in 2024, the Chinese and the Russians may make their moves next year (re China) against Taiwan, various Japanese islands, (re Russia) the Baltic States, Byelorussia, and Central Asian areas (Kazakhstan?).”
And a follow-up:
“On the previous page (q.v.), I placed some information given to me by a member of the military who works in mid-to-upper level intelligence and has visited “partners, allies, and friends” around the planet where we have military installations…and where we do not.
I did not have time to report one of this person’s last comments.
“I’m not the only one who feels this way, but the more we look at the corruption and the craziness in this ‘administration,’ the more we think:
‘Why am I obeying any orders from those people AND putting my life on the line for them?’ ”
If Atlas shrugs in the military….?”
And today, Sunday, let me punctuate “why am I obeying orders from those people AND putting my life on the line for them” a little differently:
Thanks for reposting

When the UN commanders surrender and come out of the Astavol metal plant, Putin just might move this year not in 2023.
Whatever comes out of that plant is gonna open some eyes to the 2030 reset and force the WEF and NWO to greatly accelerate their plans. jmho
what are some possible things in that plant?
WhiteBoard: Nothing of importance. Avostal is just a nice dramatic element, giving an air of intrigue to the narrative. Honestly, I think it’s nothing more than that.
high ranking foreign military persons,bio-weapon labs, kidnapped children,etc…. Vlad know…
The fact that they tried very hard and several times, to rescue those there says a mountain when they turned off their phones and left Ambassador Stevens and the others to the mercy of the mob….
Agree
Have to wonder though if they have it rigged to blow and burn instead of surrendering. Like at the end of “We are Legion” with Will Smith.

We need to pray for any America loving men and women who may still be in the military as we watch the aggressive purging. What a horrible situation to be in.
No it’s not – they need to get out at the first opportunity. Just following orders is no excuse for the crap the US does and plans to do.
Get out, go home, take care of your own family and prepare.
‘Tis a good thing to have troops that won’t follow illegal orders.
Why would we want a monolithic mindlessly obedient military?
There are brave souls holding on in order to be where they can defy and possibly thwart tyranny.
Thank you for posting again.. Didn’t see your original post..
I mentioned few weeks ago Ft Bragg had sent troops over approx 3 months ago (?) and are in Poland now… They extended their deployment to July and now until November.. Family member being told expect to go… sheeesshhh!!!
In WWII, the Japanese planned on isolating Australia via the airbase they were building in Guadalcanal. We recognized the strategic importance and chose that as the place to start taking it all back.
China has been there economically for a few years. But if they plan on a conflict with us and want to keep us out of Australia, they may be doing the same.
China and Solomon Islands Draft Secret Security Pact – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
“Why am I obeying any orders from those people”
should be the primary question for every member of the armed forces right now. You are NOT representing your former republic being there. You are not upholding the Constitution by carrying out ANY order given by them. If you want to protect the people of the former republic, you should walk away. and declare exactly whose side you will be on.
Some of them are…
Every week the local Army post’s online newspaper lists numbers of soldiers who have been discharged for refusing the vaccine.
Usurper Biden is a paper tiger. Biden may rattle his saber when China makes its move against Taiwan but he is owned by the Chinese.
Steve Bannon said: “[Taiwan is] Silicon Valley West. The entire American economy centers around the chips, and in particular the advanced chips designed, made, and manufactured in Taiwan. It is something we have to hold. If we don’t hold it we don’t have an economy. The economy will implode.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/economy-will-implode-chi-coms-threaten-taiwan-following-collapse-afghanistan-steven-bannon-warns-magnitude-us-economy-video/
And in the AskWoody dot com newsletter from April 11, 2022, Brian Livingston stated that more than 90% of the most advanced chips–like the kind used in consumer electronics and military weapons–come out of Taiwan.
“All those chips don’t just come to us out of thin air
It’s inevitable that processors in the future will be faster, smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient than the ones that came before. The big question is where all those new devices will come from. Because of expensive clean-room facilities and other requirements, building a highly advanced semiconductor fabrication plant now costs $16 billion or more, says am MIT Technology Review story, which adds:
Not coincidentally, the number of companies with plans to make the next generation of chips has now shrunk to only three, down from eight in 2010 and 25 in 2002.
The three largest players that dominate fabrication of the most advanced semiconductors (and where their headquarters are located) are:
Samsung Electronics (South Korea)
Intel (United States)
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC, Taiwan)
TSMC is the manufacturer of Apple’s M1 series and other chips. The Taiwan-based company produces more than 90% of the world’s supply of the most advanced semiconductors — the kinds used in consumer electronics and military weaponry, according to a Reuters article.
The recent global shortage of semiconductors has, ahem, chipped away at entire industries. Largely because COVID-19 absences slowed fab output to auto makers, the United States alone produced 7.7 million fewer new cars than planned in 2021, fueling inflation, as explained in an Autoblog analysis.
But that much economic disruption would be nothing compared to other geopolitical upsets. What if China attempted to invade or even just blockade Taiwan — arguing that it’s a breakaway province — perhaps emboldened by the West’s concentration on the war in Ukraine? Taiwanese fab plants might be some of the first facilities to close, even if they weren’t directly attacked.
Many thanks to all for the – as is typical of The Treehouse – fine comments!
Concerning the above: INTEL has started a billion-dollar computer chip factory outside of Ohio’s capital.
It will take 2-3 years to be completed.
Ausonius: Part of my investment portolio is riding on the success of Intel’s huge bet (possibly a make-or-break bet) on its foundry business.
They used to be made in NY and Vermont by IBM and other companies. IBM still has sone presence but almost all of their conputer of any size and chip making is gone. IMHO
There is still Global Foundries and nano computing upstate… forgot about those
Why aren’t we helping Taiwan dismantle these facilities and ship them to the USA along with the Taiwanese? Then bomb the remaining infrastructure to the stone age. China can have a rubble pile.
You do realize that the junta currently occupying the US government has no interest in doing ANYTHING that is good for America, right?
Alligator Gar: Taiwan is not going to dismantle the economic engine of its success. However, the US must stop depending on chips manufactured in Taiwan.
People need to stop joining and quit if they are already in the military. 20 years of BS wars for profit with ROE that guaranteed deaths and maiming for US troops.
Promoting unqualified women, minorities, and sexual deviants to check boxes should have made all the qualified men quit years ago.
Then they forced troops to take a dangerous experimental gene therapy. People need to get out and stay out. Force them to institute a draft – they will produce no good troops that way.
You are quite right about the Rules of Engagement.
How ironic would it be if draft-dodging, Baby-Boomer, 70-something DEMS brought back the military draft, the very people who refused to serve in Vietnam or anywhere?!
Lulu, plenty of unqualified men get promoted too, as well as plenty of qualified women.
I hope you all have watched this interview by Trump at CBN:
Almost.
Don’t want my comment from the prior page to get lost so am repeating it here
In the last 7 days I know of or have heard of 7 people , all vaxxed and boosted, who have terrible cases of Covid. One died (a 70 yr old diabetic)
This is summer. This is not supposed to happen. What is going on
Why did Biden just come out and say expect 100 million Covid cases by fall and winter in the US?
Most of these 7 are healthy and would have shrugged this off if it was Omicron
This is much worse.
As your Attorney I advise you to take a zinc tablet and eat 3 organic apples a day..

But it is just as important to keep those murdering doctors away.
Add some L-Arginine to that cocktail for vascular health.
L-Arginine? Thanks for the tip!
As always, consult your doctor before taking any supplement. :^)

You can find a lot of info out there on it, but basically it opens up the blood vessels, increases blood flow, etc. It’s a common ingredient in exercise and libido supplements.
Good on you. I add “Tree Bathing” (look it up), vit D, and when I go out, gargling with a cetylpyridimium containing mouthwash. No worries.
While the focus has moved off Covid and onto creating pots of our money to loot, there’s something real and serious that people need to keep in mind, totally ignored.
There is a “hockey stick” curve on the morbidiy/ mortality curve associated with Fauci’s China Belle, or whatever you want to call it. If you are over 65 years old and catch it, your risk of dying is about 6%.
gooooooooooooooood girl !!!!! right on target.
6-8 oz. of pine needle tea per day.
Just wait for July. It’s only my own aggregated info, and therefore likely anecdotal but July looks to be the next big hit as the 3x and 4x boosted suffer complete immune system collapse that for many has already begun. Much of this info can be found in data sets put out by other country’s. I hope hope hope that I am wrong, but having watched Van Den Bosch recently seems to confirm some of my fears. He says we likely have just months left.
Good. I’m hoping for a big enough Darwin-Award death event to wake up more of the 1/3 Persuadable and the 1/3 Lost Causers.
Whatever it takes to completely kill any chance of mandated vaccines this fall.
Re: “This is not supposed to happen”: If the FDA and pharma (J & J, Moderna, Pfizer) didn’t know what was going to happen… how is anyone else supposed to know what would happen?
I suspect more than a few in Pfizer knew what was going to happen. Look back at how fast some of the testing was cancelled.
I’ve been reading that the boosted are actually at the highest risk now.
This concerns me greatly because one of my brothers and my son, my only child, are boosted. “Boosted.”
Although almost from the outset of this craziness we noticed that diabetes is a very very high risk factor, I lost an otherwise healthy uncle to Covid the first year, he was old but had controlled diabetes. And of course that was when it was hard to get proper early therapeutics.
They already know what hell is in store for us. It is only a matter of deflecting the blame from their so-called vaccines. When will the sheeple catch on?
“Why did Biden just come out and say expect 100 million Covid cases by fall and winter in the US?”
because there is an “election” coming up, and the Davosians need us to keep consenting to be governed.
Mid-term Virus will be coming.
Lock downs will be ordered, and Mail in votes only.
4000 mules! Liberals will be lining up to make easy money, especially since no one is being prosecuted, even though they are on video dropping off multiple votes.
We need to be locked down in our vehicles, parked next to our local drop box with our cellphones.
And perhaps SOME of us brave souls might consider the “Veritas approach”?
Get recruited to be a “Mule”, use hidden cameras to record the recruitment/indoctrination, etc.?
Just a thought,..
Mid-term Variant
What you’re seeing and/or hearing is the result of being vaxxed and boosted.
the over-vaxing & boosting are part of the problem.
My vaxxed and boosted relatives keep getting covid every time they get together and they get pretty sick too. They keep saying, “I’m so glad I’m vaxxed so I won’t die!” It’s just completely insane. Also, one of my dearest friends just lost her only son, an athlete, for no good reason. I will not mention the vaccines because we are all grief stricken. I hate the people that pushed this vaccine on the world. Lord forgive me. It feels like the End Times.
I don’t care if it’ kills the whole planet, who cares. I will never live like 2020 and 2021 again.
Because the vaxx destroys your immune system
Libertybella: Same thing happened last year with the so-called “Omicron variant.” It’s all scripted theater. FedGov needs to ramp up the hysteria for the midterm elections and the furtherance of the leftist / globalist agenda
As for the not-vaxxed and fake-boosted people getting sick, yes, I am seeing the same thing within my personal or professional circles. In olden days (three years ago), these “illnesses” would be unremarkable.
Poland poised to intervene militarily in Ukraine
https://www.voltairenet.org/article216771.html
Speaking of the war, one has to wonder why Pelosi flew to Ukraine. What did she tell Zelensky in person that could not have been said on a phone call recorded by our govt.
“What did she tell Zelensky in person that could not have been said on a phone call recorded by our govt.?”
A: “Can I get that in unmarked $20’s?”
“Is my dacha ready?”
Maybe she got her sons dossier out of the Country…
Please… they are both in FL together.
Indeed and on a Disney movie set.😒
Yep. Looking more and more like WORLD WAR III.
And WWIV will be fought with sticks and rocks.
Last time Poland tried a Ukrainian Land Grab in 1920, it did not go well as the Ukrainians dislike the Polish enough that they sided with the Communist Russians during the Russian counter offensive. Poland was nearly rubbed out and saved only by a wild counter attack at the city gates of Warsaw.
This could have bad unintended consequences as the Ukrainian Government has already said they do not like the move and the Ukrainians could discard the current Government for different arrangements to counter the Polish Move.
Eastern European Countries have a quaint historical habit of kicking their neighbors when they are in distress, if their is land to be had.
The only more entertaining modern equivelant is a study of the Balkan Wars, where are the participants liked to switch sides after the start of each round.
Polish domination of Ukraine was an affair of hundreds of years.
Resentment thereof helped create the actively genocidal nationalist movements in Ukraine that considerably preceded Hitler and which persist today.
This won’t go well.
“In the grand scheme of things, humanity has perjured themselves and life as we know it has morphed into a sort of science-fiction, soap-opera with few common ancestors to reality. Even right-thinking folks require the equivalent of a cerebral chainsaw to hollow out the slew of implausible narratives into something remotely resembling reality. It goes beyond fiction to predictive programming. They’re not just deceiving you; they’re showing you that they’re deceiving you.”
Revelation of the Method
CIA Director, William Casey is reputed to have said to Ronald Reagan ‘We’ll know our disinformation is complete when everything the American public believes is false.’
https://off-guardian.org/2022/05/07/revelation-of-the-method/
Tried tracking that Casey quote down. People pushing that were avowed conspiracy theorists. One of them did work in that White House and later, much, much later claimed to have witnessed it. Also claimed to have leaked it right away. But nobody has found evidence of such early promulgation.
Timing wise they place it in February shortly after Reagan and later Casey took office.
What was curious to me is that this argument was happening during Obama’s tenure. Yes, when the IC was being targeted against America.
I do like the “Cerebral Chainsaw” line in any case.
Sounds like something Sundance would say about our daily whittling away falsities and deadwood.
I just watched entire documentary on 2000 mules on bitchute. free. I used headphones and wow, so glad to see it and it is amazing. Hope you all will go there. It was first announced on gettr. https://www.bitchute.com/video/TizNoVq1qcwb/
Thanks for the tip, but I gladly paid the $20 to see it because it took time, effort and and a big pile of re$ource$ to make it and I want Dinesh D’Souza to be able to keep producing these types of movies.
It was sold out in all theatres in TX near where I live. Many would be happy to donate – making it available for free would be a good decision – the more people who see it, the better it would be. IMO, it should be shown at all the High Schools in every state .
It was sold out here.
I was going to pay today but my first 5 minutes on Gettr it popped up free.
I’m hoping that Dinesh’s next video will be about how Dominion et al stole the votes by switching votes, fractional votes, etc, as well as the corrupt foreign governments that hacked into our election systems.
So angry watching this vid in it’s entirety.
Thanks for posting! Can’t wait to watch tonight…sold out here.
We just couldn’t work it in last night but hoping to see it today. I have ask several people about it, they are all Republicans, they had no idea what I was taking about.
saw it free last night at CitizenFreePress.com Now we see where the info goes to get action. Not holding my breath.
Catherine Austin Fitts interview in March 2022 discussing a number of subjects including Putin (towards the end).
With the very aggressive power moves by the Occupying Government last year taking place, Catherine Austin Fitts was the first one I heard explain that illegal governments have to entrench their power quickly.
Every day I see another example that brings this to mind, they’re trying to cement their steal. Forever.
Presidente-for-Life Obama has gone from scolding Justices at SOTU to sending his street mobs over to their homes.
It turns out, when the Court ruled that Honest Elections were dispensable, it didn’t appease the Syndicate, it only encouraged them.
CNN says the danger to the Court which necessitated the barricades isn’t from left-wing mobs. It’s from right-wingers planning to attack those mobs.
I’d call it bullshit–except CNN may be running Agit-Prop for the Occupation Government. Pelosi and Wray may well be planning another False Flag-Reichscourt Riot for the Concertina Government.
BTW, Ukrainian NAZIS were part of Pelosi’s Jan. 6th Trump Trap: Was January 6th violence
a Ukrainian Military Special Operation to destroy Donald Trump? (substack.com)
They were just returning the favor for Obama’s 2015 Color Revolution in their country.
“It turns out, when the Court ruled that Honest Elections were dispensable, it didn’t appease the Syndicate, it only encouraged them.”
in a sane world, it might be a good lesson to Roberts that catering to the mob, instead of applying the law of the former republic, does not get them to go away.
A breath of fresh air in Canada?
OMG a speech! that “killed” someone’s career? last i checked the Davosians were still in charge and the resistance crumbled.
I spoke with several Canadians over the weekend and they are all totally anti-Jean Charest. It is no different than those in America against Joe Biden.
No, Poilievre is not a breath of fresh air. He’s certainly the best of the bunch running for the leadership of the so-called “Conservative” party, but that party sat on it’s collective arse for 2 YEARS while our rights were stripped away, and they said nothing.
They are not, in any meaningful way, conservative.
The only conservative party in Canadian federal politics is Max Bernier’s poorly named “People’s Party of Canada”. However, the legacy parties and the liberal legacy media won’t give him airtime.
I suspect we’ll see the breakup of Canada within the next 5 to 10 years, as the West finally votes for a divorce from the abusive relationship it’s in with the eastern provinces.
And I’m just fine with that.
Poliviere is a Canadian McConnell, he is a bad actor.
I could see that in the first 5 minutes, from down here in Northern Az., so I hope Canadians can see it clearly.

Talk is cheap. It’s not action.

Durham probe suffers set-back as judge limits evidence prosecutors can offer in trial: report (msn.com)
According to a report from Politico, special counsel John Durham’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s campaign and an attorney associated with the Democratic Party suffered a major setback on Saturday.
The report notes that U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper has denied a request from Durham that now “limits evidence and testimony prosecutors can offer against attorney Michael Sussmann” who has been accused of lying to investigators.
As Politico’s Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein wrote, “The ruling spares the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee the potential embarrassment of a federal judge finding they were part of a coordinated effort to level since-discredited allegations that candidate Donald Trump or his allies maintained a data link from Trump Tower to Russia’s Alfa Bank.”
Sussman has been accused of lying to FBI investigators “when he approached the bureau’s top lawyer James Baker with what he described as evidence of links between Trump Tower and Alfa Bank.”
The report adds that Durham’s office has contended that Sussman was working in concert with the Clinton campaign, but Judge Cooper was ummoved.
According to Politico, “Cooper said that permitting prosecutors to lay out evidence of such a broad, political conspiracy would amount to a ‘time-consuming and largely unnecessary mini-trial,’ considering Durham has not charged Sussmann with conspiracy but only with a ‘narrow’ false statement to the FBI.”
IMO, justice will not be served without Military intervention with tribunals.
agree – we have far too many corrupt judges
It was a very broad conspiracy. I hope a way will be made to clear the way for Durham & the prosecutors.
Well, that hopium was good while it lasted.
.
How can you disagree with this when, as your last line states, “considering Durham has not charged Sussmann with conspiracy but only with a ‘narrow’ false statement to the FBI.”
In other words, “don’t waste my and everyone’s time making political news and fodder for history books. Either sh– or get off the pot.”

About the 180* from reality Projection State:
I used to think this was just about the public narrative, for persuasion purposes.
Having recently had just such an instance in my personal life I see now it is a form of manipulation: Being told you are the violent ones makes you less likely to be violent – under any circumstances – even when justified.
Do we think a nation which for thirty years has refused to acknowledge an invasion as an invasion and imprisons cops for properly doing their jobs is going to continue to allow us self-defense? Self -defense either physically or verbally? No wonder censorship has reared its head in America.
the longer we consent, the harder it will be to self-defense, much less restoration of the republic.
Make Lamp Post Ornaments Great Again !
Censorship is their present weapon of choice before military guns on the People.
people responding to this from the LEFT on twitter, are saying Alito’s was a governement document so it belongs the people. Biden’s diary was private.
They must be called out in public when you hear something similar. Change the public perception of which opinion is NOW POLITICALLY CORRECT.
change the definition LIKE THEY DO of politically correct – to meaning “the dominant opinion to follow because they are more physical with their passion”
the point is to arrest the mortgage scammers including the Federal Reserve, and the Universities that jacked their prices up and gave $100,000 to 18 years olds at the click of a button,
Restitution from those prosecutions can cover the entire country’s debt.
some people cant get a home loan, but they can get $100,000 for COLLEGE in a loan, at the click of a button.
INSANITY and a COMPLETE ABUSE and FRAUD – w/ Collusion from the Politicans, banks, and universities
Because those who loan to them suffer no risk from default due to taxpayers (NOT “government”) covering any defaults.

Accounting for the Rise in College Tuition
Grey Gordon, Aaron Hedlund
September 28, 2015
http://www.nber.org/chapters/c13711.pdf
Excerpt:
“These results accord strongly with the Bennett hypothesis, which asserts that colleges respond to expansions of financial aid by increasing tuition. Existing theories can fully explain the increase in net tuition between 1987 and 2010. Our model suggests demand-side theories have the most predictive power. In fact, our results show the Bennett hypothesis can fully account for the tuition increase on its own.”
The Bennett Hypothesis: “Increases in financial aid in recent years has enabled colleges and universities blithely to raise their tuition, confident that Federal Loan subsidies would help cushion the increase.”
Credit Supply and the Rise in College Tuition: Evidence from the Expansion in Federal Student Aid Program – New York Federal Reserve
https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff_reports/sr733.pdf
So, let me repeat the wisdom of Sir Richard Starkey (aka Ringo Starr):
“Everything government touches turns to crap.”
yep – thats the thing to prosecute for corruption.
collusion – same thing with the dumbass subprime loan scam.
I just learned of another individual who attended school, went to work, fell on hard economic times down the road, and it was only at that point that he learned his remaining student loan debt was not dischargeable through bankruptcy.
I guarantee you that most of these 18 year olds were completely unaware of that important point.
There is a middle ground between the government stepping in and paying off graduate school debt for people with money. and leaving one single class of borrowers in a permanent debtor’s prison.
There are sizable numbers of Americans stuck with a debt they CANNOT repay. Many have been attempting to pay it off for years.
I’m sick of these false choices presented as reality.
i agree.
corruption prosecuted would balance out everyone’s concern with Debt forgiveness, payment, or whatever.
This process solves everything including Abortion. Imagine banning the profit of baby parts – the impact that would have on the abortion industry interest…. it would dissapear.
its a clever way to end abortion without losing political points.
ban selling or purchasing baby parts
Ban using them would help that process.
If they got a second job and roommates, they could dedicate a lot of money to the principle. I have no desire to pay someone else’s college debt when I paid for my own undergrad and grad school and have paid tuition for my kids since preschool.
Just to get my kids through undergrad, I will have paid tuition for 21 straight years – so cry me a river.
People need to pay their own tuition or not go.
no one wants you to pay their debt.
they want the crooks who jacked the prices up and prey’d on highschool graduates to be prosecuted – and the cost adjusted to actual. or somewhere into a realistic debt cost.
I want all categories of debtors in America, to be treated fairly.
I knew a woman who opened her own business. She thought she knew what she was doing. She read books, talked to people, took courses.
In real life she ran into problems, couldn’t make a go of her business no matter how hard she worked.
She ended up declaring bankruptcy.
Other people who opened businesses paid back all their loans.
Should she have been made to keep paying forever?
Why should anyone at all have any debt discharged ever, since most people pay their bills?
The keep the unfair “cancellation” scam going to keep the whole Higher Ed racket going.
You either think it’s unfair to treat some debtors differently or you don’t.
” the crooks who jacked the prices up ” are the universities and colleges lol

California had a 53 percent pass rate and most took the exam remotely
https://www.calbar.ca.gov/About-Us/News/News-Releases/state-bar-of-california-releases-results-of-july-2021-bar-exam
Yeeeesssssssssssssss! I think I found my new profession!
Not my fault a certain block likes to perpetuate victimhood and destruction of family values.
It has nothing to do with race, but everything to do with the environment. I’m sure the percent pass is nearly identical for all groups that had a childhood in a “white” (mother and father, low crime rate, etc) neighborhood. All neighborhoods can be “white” if people really want change, except they just want everything handed to them because they’re “victims”.
No it isn’t. There are real differences in IQ between the sexes and races and within races. Not all European ethnicities have similar IQs and not all Asians have similar IQs, etc. And the differences can be quite large even within a race.
.
Maybe law schools should just stop with the affirmative action admissions and go back to blind merit.
.
Since the courts are crooked, it kind makes sense anyone can do “lawyering ” 😒😬
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD
Maybe I’m missing something… why can’t a different state petition the SC based on new evidence of voter fraud in their state being recently verified?
Maybe now that the SC justices have their a$$es on the line with the Roe leak they may decide things really have gone too far in this country and even though we hate mean tweets we need to make things right. Is this not possible?
Good question. It could have something to do with the election already being certified, but we don’t really know until we try, do we?
elections do no matter anymore.
the election time matters. its the only time power transitions – through fraud or not. violence or not.
The Court will not take the case as it is not a dispute between states.
Please edumacate yourself on election law.
Most are unaware, the Burden of proof in a lawsuit challenging ballots legitimacy, is NOT on the plaintiff questioning the validity, it is on the party asserting the ballots are legitimate.
This is why State laws are written intending that there be an “unbroken chain of custody” for all ballots; a break in the chain, and if challenged the ballots MUST be “thrown out”; there is no requirement to PROVE they were “messed with”.
This is WHY it was VITAL to the steal that all court cases HAD to be dismissed on procedural grounds (no “standing” etc.) because if they actually went to trial, the burden would be on those argueing the “election was the most secure in history” to PROVE the ballots were legitimate, NOT on the plaintiff alleging they were not.
In other words, THEYwould lose virtually every case.
(Just a small clarification: for obvious reasons, Berlin doesn’t have a WWII victory parade, but there are many memorials there erected by the Soviets where commemorations take place. The Berlin police have indeed banned Russian and Ukr flags there today. Point still stands.)
That was after killing 20 million of their own people to establish a communist paradise. US provided 80% of cordite and 1/3 the trucks used by the Red Army. Red Army was allowed to rape hundreds of thousands in eastern Germany. Hollywood did not tell me that either.
Hundreds of thousands of German women and children were raped in West Germany as well and nobody talks about that. We’re told all our grandpas were the greatest generation.
Then there’s the truth of the Weimar Republic. Why did Hitler happen? Because the allied Western nations left Germany so poor their women and children were nearly all made into prostitutes for men that came from all over the world to satisfy their perversions. There were streets and brothels for men who liked to have sex with toddlers or 8 month pregnant women etc.
The Russians and Russian army were no worse than us.
Adam Kinzinger Executes Neocon Vision For Ukraine
As the war in Ukraine approaches its tenth week, the steady flow of ominous headlines has grown to a floodwater deluge. Dissenting observers are made to watch, seemingly helpless, as the broader levy of sanity threatens to break, unleashing a torrent of death and destruction across Eastern Europe, and likely, the globe.
Leading the bad news cycle, on Sunday, May 1, Congressman Adam Kinzinger proposed a new Authorization of Use of Military Force (AUMF) in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation, if passed, would allow President Joe Biden to deploy American forces to restore “the territorial integrity of Ukraine” in the event that Russia uses chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. When Kinzinger announced the legislation on Meet the Press, he stated that he “doesn’t think we need to be using force in Ukraine right now.” However, as Antiwar.com opinion editor Kyle Anzalone ominously noted, in 2002, then-Senator Joe Biden similarly downplayed the danger of war before voting for the 2002 AUMF—under which President George W. Bush later prosecuted the invasion of Iraq.

This is from a lengthy piece by Ace of Spades:
You’ll notice they never talk about immigration, whether to support Trump or to oppose him. That’s because they’re sneaky, cowardly rats who do in fact oppose him, and support Open Borders — Oh, I’m sorry, I mean, Comprehensive Immigration Reform that Welcomes Undocumented Americans with Love and Kindness — but they know they can’t win on that so it’s just this constant series of dishonest attacks on side-issues about “character.”
Oh, sometimes they talk about Free Trade, which is very, very closely linked to Free Immigration Across Borders. In fact, the Wall Street Journal used to argue — persuasively — that it was senseless to talk about free travel of goods across borders without simultaneously talking about free travel of labor across borders as well.
So they’ll talk about “Free Trade” as a stand-in for what they won’t talk about, which is Open Borders.
But when they say “Free Trade” — understand, they also mean Open Borders.
And they will not stop subverting us and throwing elections until we submit and give up and agree to their Comprehensive Open Borders schemes. This isn’t even just an economic corporate play at this point — though it is that too — it’s a holy, racial-redemption religious point for them at this point too.
This is how they prove they’re #NotRacist to their liberal friends, wives, and lovers.
We can’t have this any longer.
We just can’t.

the abortion supreme court leak had zero impact on the decison. if anything, a leak would be used to purposefully imply the court can be swayed by public opinion in order to create the ‘perception that the court has fallen with no repair’.

Some Sanity on Ukraine and Democrats
“The war against Russia in Ukraine is World War IV”,
By Igor Mel’čuk, at americanthinker.com
The FOPs, (Friends of Putin) will squeal and down vote this because they hate supporting Ukraine.
The article makes points about why the U.S. should support Ukraine. Defending Western Civilization from brutal neo-communist tyrants is in our national interest.
It also dissects the Democrats’ encouragement of Russian aggression, starting with Obama, and their belated attempt to cover their butts by helping Ukrainians after they fought back effectively.
Russia is the invader.
Ukraine is invaded.
Putin is the bully.
Ukraine the victim.
Bullies hate it when victims fight back.
China and Mexico work out a deal for bio labs just across our border. What would we do? Next up nukes. What would we do?
.
Ew. One of AT’s worst in a long time. In addition to name-calling (“brutal neo-communist tyrants”), this article contains little but unsupported assumptions about Russia’s intentions and baseless fact-free declarations.
.
The phrase you quoted was mine.
Russia invading Ukraine is not an “unsupported” assumption.”
Obama doing nothing to hinder Putin’s actions in Georgia and Syria is not an “unsupported assumption”
Biden enticing Putin with comments about the “size of an incursion” is not an “unsupported assumption.”
The Russian Army blasting Ukrainian cities with lots of visible dead bodies is attested by a blizzard of photos and videos on line from the Ukrainians getting blasted, for any who care to look.
Putin is the bully.
Ukraine is the victim.
Bullies hate it when victims fight back.
It’s your BS Oldrealist…
Nope. I hate Pukeraine. That sh!thole has done everything it can to destroy America. F them. Bunch of NAZI Banderite heathens. And Putin violated the international law by invading, though he presented reasons for it.
There are no good guys in this. US should stay the heck out. Oh, and we should be under international sanctions for putting bioweapon labs in other countries in violation of our treaty obligations. End. Of.
“(Ukraine) has done everything it can to destroy America.”
Like what? And, the Biden family bullying Ukrainians into giving them bribes Is on the Biden’s, not Ukraine.
Sadly US are not the good guys either
It hit me when I saw WW IV.
Isn’t “Z” a symbol used for support of Russia?
And haven’t we recently had movies and games called WW Z?
No friend of Putin, or Ukraine, here.

You might just be onto something there. With the “morning after” pills, it doesn’t make sense for so many women to be seeking abortions. And after one, I’d think a woman would make sure she never wound up in that position again.
Even Margaret Sanger was supposedly not a supporter of abortion.
She thought it was excessive to kill children when birth control could take care of the issue.
I suppose there is evil and there is EVIL.
Abortion is a Big Business.

Breaking News
Remember back in the Gulf War when DU (Depleted Uranium) was all the rage? Well, both the Russians and the USA have advanced versions of DU and I needed to break the story.
Russian Version: Depleted Ukrainium, where the entire country of Ukraine has nothing left.
USA Version: Depleted Ucranium, where Biden’s brain reduces the USA to having nothing left.
Considering the state of our economy, the mood of the nation, and the mental struggles of jeer-leader,
the term biden depression has many meanings
“Experts”. Lol.
This will be interesting to watch unfold……………

With the release, of 2000 mules, its important to review ELECTION law, as established by years of court ruling precedent, as MOST people make an understandable but erroneous assumption.
Understanding election law clarifies WHY it was VITAL the prevent ANY cases from actually going to trial, WHY States have laws on the books INTENDED to insure their is ALWAYS an unbroken “Chain of custody” for all ballots, and why ALL the evidence, from audits, TTV’s investigations etc. is so devastating.
In a CRIMINAL case, American Jurisprudence puts the BURDEN OF PROOF on the ACCUSER; it is up to THE STATE, that is accusing someone of committing the crime, to PROVE it, beyond a reasonable doubt, it is NOT on the defendant to prove they did NOT commit the crime.
In a Civil case, it is up to the accuser, the Plaintiff, to PROVE, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Defendant (the accused) acted in a way that caused them harm.
This concept is so ingrained into our understanding, its understandable many would assume, without even thinking about it, that any party making accusations of ballot fraud would have the Burden of proof, of proving the ballots in question were fraudulent.
This is NOT the case; once the accuser is found to have “standing” the Burden of proof is on the party asserting or alleging that the ballots are legitimate, legally cast ballots.
If they can NOT, the ballots are to be found invalid and “thrown out” or NOT counted.
THATS long standing election law.
This is WHY States have laws intended to insure an unbroken chain of custody; ANY break, where someone COULD have added or removed ballots, makes that batch of ballots illegitimate.
And this is why, in 2020 it was vital to the steal that NO case actually went to trial.
For a criminal case against the mules, or those that paid them, the burden would be on the prosecution, and TTV’s research seems to make a compelling case, that no prosecutors seem to want to pursue.
BUT, for the purpose of “proving” election fraud in the 2020 election, those argueing it was “the most secure in history” and “there was not sufficient fraud to change the outcome” the Burden is ON THEM to PROVE it, and they CAN’T.
Which means, by election law precedent and standards, the ballots in question would be thrown out, and PDJT would obviously be declared the winner.
It is UNDERSTANDABLE, given how thoroughly the concept of “innocent till proven guilty” is ingrained, that most would not understand this DOES NOT apply to BALLOTS, and in fact it works just the opposite.
The American publics ignorance of this is something they took advantage of, and ALL of those involved in the various Court cases, including the Judges, HAD to know and ignore this.
Again, THIS is WHY it was VITAL that they dismiss every case on “no standing” or other procedural grounds.
Understand this, and tell a friend. Ignorance isn’t bliss, its ignorance.
And Knowledge is POWER.
Suppose in 2024 Trump wins. Perkins Coie is given standing in a suit claiming several states counted fraudulent ballots. Does this mean the Trump campaign or the state’s election officials have to prove every single ballot in question is legitimate or he loses?
The problem here is not the law; it is the willful rejection of election law by governments and courts in order to get rid of Trump in 2020. That institutional rot cannot be fixed by decertifying ballots, if it could the Left will use that specific procedure on us.
True the Vote is going to release everything soon (including who the non profits involved in ballot trafficking were)…
