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.

Was there a somewhat recent article by Sundance, discussing US governmental officials asserting that whoever had the best social media presentations would control the outcome of the war in Ukraine?
What was the date of that article?
Seems like this is at play today with the professional J6 program airing tonight.
This one? “Even the Washington Post admits the Ukraine central government is desperate to push morale boosting propaganda which seems constructed from the efforts of the U.S. State Dept, specifically the intelligence community within it. “Videos of assaults on Russian tanks or positions are posted daily on social media. Artists are creating patriotic posters, billboards and T-shirts. The postal service even released stamps commemorating the sinking of a Russian warship in the Black Sea.”
These examples are targeted toward a western audience and likely not being carried out by independent Ukraine government operation in Kyiv. Promoting the image of Ukraine is a construct of the U.S. state dept and U.S. intelligence.
The global impression of Ukraine must remain elevated to continue the U.S. proxy war against Russia. However, as noted, the WaPo is starting to shift the goal posts and expectations away from a Russian defeat in the donbas region.”

Obama Judge Amy Totenberg Sealed Halderman Report Showing Material Voting Machine Issues in Georgia – This Week CISA Released Junk Rebuttal to Report Still Not Released
By Joe Hoft
Published June 5, 2022 at 12:00pm
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of an investigation of voting machines in Georgia. This report has still not been released. This week CISA released a report showing material discrepancies in these systems while attempting to downplay these material issues.
Corrupt Obama Judge Amy Totenberg is a real piece of work. She is the sister of another piece of work, government-funded NPR’s far-left correspondent Nina Totenberg.
We first reported on Obama Judge Totenberg in 2018 when she got involved in that election and tried to steal the Georgia governor’s race for Democrat Stacey Abrams.
Then in 2021, Judge Totenberg committed her gravest offense as a judge. She sealed and covered up the results of the Halderman report in Georgia. To this day we don’t know what is in this report. Halderman’s investigation into the voting machines in Georgia started before the 2020 Election and was completed in July 2021.
Steve Bannon interviewed Kurt Olsen, about cybersecurity analyst, J. Alex Halderman, who found flaws in Dominion voting machines and warned about the potential for future attacks. Judge Totenberg sealed the report. According to court documents, Halderman wrote his report after he was given 12 weeks of access to an unused Dominion ICX voting machine. Professor Halderman requested the report to be unsealed to be shared with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a standalone United States federal agency responsible for our infrastructure, including our voting systems.
Here is the interview:
The report eventually made it to the CISA and they released their report this week. Many believe that this CISA report was released in an effort to mitigate the results from the Halderman Report when it is finally released.
Judge Totenberg is the corrupt judge who also allowed Hillary’s attorney Marc Elias to use the 14th Amendment to try and prevent Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running in the 2022 Election:
…U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama appointee, has been engaging in her own activism from the bench, allowing a bogus activist lawsuit to proceed, despite past court rulings that established its claims as void under the law.
The attack, masterminded by Steele Dossier architect Marc Elias, has tried to use an archaic section of the 14th Amendment to claim that Greene and several other prominent, pro-Trump Republicans, effectively seceded from the US and should be disqualified.
Crooked Judge Amy Totenberg has a biased and politically motivated past. She is still keeping the Halderman report under wraps. There is no good reason to do so. This is one reason why this judge is referred to as crooked.

Maybe “accidentally” leave a copy in a printer where a “right wing” person will be directed to look for it?
Mail it anonymously to an investigative outfit–maybe Dinesh D’Souza?
yea just release the shit.
its to the point we aer in a LEAK WAR
If we all stop and think about it….there will-or can- NEVER BE and unbiased opinion from much of anyone. A small child being asked “which do you like, blue or red” will always have an opinion that is different from the next one. What difference does it make? Well, a judge (or another adult) should be able to set these differences aside or should NOT BE A JUDGE.
Too bad there isn’t something like that chemical that can be put in the swimming pool water that forms a cloud around a person who failed to politely leave the swimming pool and go to the powder room.
The CISA report must be the least damaging info.
Texas just gave up after the No Standing ruling?
come on States – its your job – before its our job. our job risks ending this country.
Sorry to tell you it is already ended. Nobody wants to stand up for America. This is not the time to try and stand up for anything, cause they all will beat you down, no matter what you stand up for. We can no longer be a United States, thank you all social media and main stream media. You have done the job, just like they told you to….and paid you to do.
i think the arrest of PDJT will be a fire
Hope it never happens. Don’t like thinking of that much trouble in these times. And if it does, you are right. big fire.
At least a dozen so-called “red lines” have been crossed since the lockdowns. Nothing has been done. Every day, things seem to be getting worse.
I was flabbergasted when the lockdowns began because I could not believe that Americans would give up their rights so easily. But they did. And here we are.
I am an old, broken-down ex-soldier. I can’t pack the gear anymore. However, I will do anything I am physically able to do. If anyone comes for me and mine, they had better have their affairs in order.
It will take a lot of organization and discipline to get us out of this mess. The commies will not go “quietly into the night.” They never admit they are wrong. They never apologize. All they do is double down, over and over again.
We cannot negotiate with them. We cannot compromise, since to a commie, compromise is “everything for them and nothing for you.”
The real question is: How long can this go on? And what are we going to do about it?
Elections, you say? I believe that, going forward, there will be no more legitimate elections.
So, again, what do we do? Sit around and complain on blog posts, I guess.
No, we pray! No weapon formed against us will stand! The battle is the LORD’S. if we say we love the Lord, we must hate evil.
Speak for yourself.
Georgia, what a corrupt mess. I feel bad for the citizens that have to live with that rot.
We did not vote for any of it! Kemp and Abrams=Rock and Hard Place😒
The problem with Georgia wasn’t voting initially. It was the passive tolerance for the ignorant affirmative action cesspool that is metro Atlanta that went/has gone on for far too long. It has metastasized to the entire state now. I don’t know if people sat idly by to be relevant in football or other sports or what, but it appears to be a lost cause. I can’t even stand driving through it anymore, much less stopping there for any reason, and I used to love it. Used to attend Braves games frequently as a young man. What a waste of a once great place. Not casting stones though, as the three large metro areas of South Carolina have suffered the same fate and for the same reasons. Our state and local government and our judiciary are filled with backward proudly ignorant buffoons. I really don’t know how Florida has managed to gain that ground back, but maybe it’s all the wealth from tourism that spreads to non leftist people and entities. That and the transformation of Hispanic communities into conservatives. Georgia and South Carolina need some of what they have though or we’re doomed.
“I really don’t know how Florida has managed to gain that ground back, …”
Florida booted crooked election officials giving Florida honest elections and allowing the voice of the people to be respected and accurate:
-snip-
“Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday issued an executive order suspending Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher, effective immediately. The order follows the recommendation of Secretary of State Michael Ertel to remove Bucher from office.
The governor, in another executive order, officially acknowledged the resignation of Dr. Brenda Snipes as Broward County supervisor of elections, effective Jan. 4, formally terminating her duties.”
Susan Bucher resigns after being suspended by Gov. DeSantis (wpbf.com)
Excellent point. SC and Georgia both have open primaries as well. Otherwise Georgia would be rid of Kemp and we’d be rid of Miss Lindsey. Idiocy abounds unfortunately.
What about Laurel Lee?? He appointed her, then she took $250K in Zuckerborg Bucks to “insure a free and fair election”, gave a closed door presentation to the Dom!n!on folks at the most recent gathering of Florida Election Supervisors Conference, then sandbagged canvassing efforts and refused to clean up voter rolls. She resigned just recently. I for one, would like to know how many dead people voted in ’20!
Much obliged for the info as I wasn’t aware of this one.
I’m not a Floridian but am so proud of everything Floridians have accomplished since 2018 🙂
Governor DeSantis has knocked some heads together ala Moe of the Three Stooges and herded most of the cats in the Legislature into a holding pen. I just wish Georgians would be in the streets over this. I miss the years we spent in Gwinnett County in the late ’80’s. What great growing up years. I shed a tear the last time I drove through Dacula. I prefer to remember it with one flashing red light.
Only DeSantis booted the election corruption in the Democrat Ghetto Cities in Florida. Bush and Rick Scott were afraid of them. Why, I don’t know!
Florida was 30000 odd “Votes” give or take away from the Boutique Socialist Methfreak Pervert Andrew Gillum running things into the ground with a 40+ % State tax on all businesses his first day in office! Our RINOs in the State Legislature are world class and the Demoncrats are stealthily moving here from California. We are hanging by spider silk.

Thank you for that since Dish decided we don’t need to watch anything, even tho it is paid every month. AGAIN, Thank you all very much. Oh, and by the way, DISH STINKS. Don’t ever get that lost cause. anyone else would be, could be and probably is better. Just my personal opinion, not a political thing.
Two Utah Moms File Open Records Requests on Election Records – State Lt. Gov. Tips Off Reporter, Blocks Them from Access, and Feds Are Called In

Submitting a request for election records results in the Lt Gov calling in the feds (I assume FBI?).
Did she even bother to cite some law making it a crime to request election records? Have we reached the point where a state government can arbitrarily decide to punish someone for political reasons?
And yes, this is the GOP. Again.
Lets find a term to describe this best universally.
The Selected Party. the Selected. the Selections the unelected Selected are rulling our country and blocking the law from being followed.
Yes we have reached that point, many miles back
The Selected Rulers view humans as viruses.
Who Really Killed Seth Rich?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/06/who_really_killed_seth_rich.html
Russians, as Russian as Igor Danchenko
do you remember the Russian diplomats being murdered just after the 2017 election. I’d view that as US FBI eliminating ALIAS’s they’ve used to compromise people they want to spy on .
You might as well just figure you will always wonder; nobody will ever tell you even if they do find out…..they ( the powers that rule us) think we are not capable of knowing these things….it’s too dangerous to the rest of the world.
Thinking about how the Left + Elites enjoy the advantages not being bound by Truth or Reality gives them — it occurred to me:
If the parties had been reversed, Hollywood would have already pumped out a heart-breaking feature film about brave American Contractors/Mercenaries flying to Afghanistan to save the lives of former Afghan Allies + their families as Biden’s Administration left them to the mercy of the Taliban…
If you break the Control of the MAINSTEAM MEDIA – the all seeing eye – the one screen the mind looks at AT LEAST once a day to influence them.
then you got a chance. but if not, then Biden can murder anyone on earth and just tell the TV to say he didnt.
Speaking of the control of the Leftstream media, I’ve thought for DECADES that it they had any of them been honest enough to show the scale of the MASS INVASION that our country would never have reached this point of no return.
Americans couldn’t possibly have approved “be nice, just let them all in,” if they had known that “all” was millions and millions from 160 different countries, terrorists included, as well as the permanent parasite types, the many with buns in the oven, and the many who openly state that they come for the free health care.
To the American taxpayers, that bill is a far cry from free.
Yes – the Media Berlin Wall.
many people on the OTHER SIDE of the WALL (believing News) are doomed to never have enough facts to wake them up – unless they bump into us (and I’ve noticed they want to attitude fight versus accept new info)
I now call them Good Germans.
Yuri Bezmenov has up 2 excellent long videos of lectures he gave in the 80s + early 90s about how Soviet social espionage had already doomed several generations of Americans — that no amount of Truth would ever sink in now. That it would take concentrating educating a new generation for 20 years to avoid implosion…
Now that The Great Reset has begun with a bioweapon + lockdowns + coerced “vaccinations” — killing untold millions globally —– they are nothing more than Good Germans… They’ll support any order. Support carrying out any act – even the most evil imaginable – because they can no longer recognize or tolerate facing — Truth…
Hitler could not kill that many people without the solid support of the masses in Germany.
That is where we are right now…
i was at a bar the other day, and CNN was on talking about proud boys – and some barguy commented. I told him the leader his (EDIT – is) half black and spanish. then J6 came on the screen, and I said dont worry they will come for you next.
he didnt look like he was use to hearing push back.
Ever Wonder why millions and millions of people from other countries want to come to this terrible place? I have, and since the news and politicians say it is so bad, I just can’t imagine it.
Which looks like that happens daily….well, maybe not actually murder, but might as well.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/06/1-6-infiltrator-john-antifa-sullivan-has-pentagon-connections-judge-lets-him-violate-release-conditions-video/
FTA “John Earle Sullivan is a known Antifa rioter who infiltrated a crowd of Trump supporters to incite chaos on January 6th, 2021, at the Capitol. He recorded the entire thing, including the murder of Ashli Babbitt, and sold his footage to CNN and other media companies on the same day, pocketing more than $80,000. John Sullivan would eventually be indicted on charges similar to that of other protesters, but he has spent nearly no time in jail. Shortly after the initial indictment, he was caught violating and flaunting almost all of his release conditions. However, the corrupt courts have been protecting him because of who his adopted father is.
John’s dad, Kevin J. Sullivan, is a former Lieutenant General in the United States Air Force who was forced into retirement after being caught in a group of officers sending fuses for NUCLEAR WARHEADS to Taiwan. This groundbreaking report proves that John Sullivan, the rioter, is being protected from the Judicial System by Kevin Sullivan, his dad, who worked in the Pentagon. John was clearly part of a plan to entrap hundreds of protesters, and so far, it seems to have worked.
1/6 defendants are NOT receiving Equal Justice under the Law, a right that they are guaranteed by God and the Constitution.”
Just more evidence of the corrupt leftist two tier Federal Judicial system our banana republic has!!! My guess is this will not be covered by the J6 House Committee!!!
I saw that video which was carried widely in real time on Jan. 6, 2021. From it, the events surrounding Ashli Babbitt appeared to be an obvious hoax.
Others will have to observe and make up their own minds. Capitol Police refuse to release all footage.
Lastly, re House hearing scheduled for today and re any video footage, I think it’s crucial to be on the lookout for obvious editing, or other special digital doctoring of video images.
Now, if the actual footage currently impounded by Capitol police were available for comparison purposes, such a vile tactic as altering images could be easily debunked. But, alas, that ain’t the way this DC mafia rolls.
The Lunatic Leftists were happy to kill a few hundred thousand Americans with an engineered bio-weapon from China just to get rid of President Trump so what’s murdering a few dozen children to them?
FBI Agent: ” this kids has a gun and is going to shoot that place”
FBI liason: “Wait, after it we will get policy to help us not worry about Americans resisting us”
FBI Agent: “Yes sir, ty pay check”
logical conversation if you are in the f.b.i.

Yeah I don’t put anything past our Marxist power-holders now.
that next day – The saudi princes were rounded up and put under the heel of the PDJT friendly prince.
coincidence?
Generally shooting like that is to SUBMIT the law enforcement to LET the Helicopters leave US Air Space.
Does anyone even know what happened, why, or who did what? I’ve never found out. I it was ever told, it was never put out there on the front pages where the “normal average” person could find out.

LOL!

Update on the war in Ukraine
https://godskingdom.org/blog/2022/06/update-on-the-war-in-ukraine
Its a good article. What struck me was the similarities to the criminal Clinton Administration having their radical islamist national socialist Bosnian Muslim leader Izetbegovic to withdraw his signature from agreement that the Bosnian Serbs & Bosnian Croats had signed along with the Bosnian Muslims. The criminal Clinton Admin and the Council On Foreign Relations and their capstone controllers wanted war in Bosnia (and eventually Kosovo) just like they want war in Ukraine.
If you saw my meme from yesterday, it explains it all rather well
I have a question. I heard from a local teacher that teachers are saying: A law was passed by police unions that says policemen do not have to go in during a mass shooting. This was passed after Columbine. Does anyone have any information on this?
They may be referring to a court decision that set the precedent – ” No duty to protect individual citizens ” only the community as a whole.
Thank you!
I have known since I was a small child (yuup long ago) t hat the police are NOT HERE TO PROTECT individuals. They are here to help ‘SOLVE’ crimes against said individuals. Where in any book does it say that the policeman is going to protect each individual? There are not enough police to begin that, and not enough money to pay same police. They try to do what they were originally hired to do.
‘find out who did what and arrest them’.
I believe the Supreme’s ruled they do not have to risk life or limb to save yours…paraphrasing. I was surprised at the entire “defund the police” movement since demoralizing them appeared to be working just fine.
Yup, Warren v D.C if memory serves. Can’t remember when though.
However, police policies vary widely by jurisdiction so while one might leave kids in jeopardy hanging, another might charge right in.
The detectives who engaged the UCC shooter in 2015 reflected our local county and city’s policies on such matters. That was a community college. An ex-mil who was a student there also engaged the shooter unarmed, took rounds and survived.
yet they fall all over themselves to protect BLM, ANTIFA, and the politicians who make their jobs unsafe.
As was especially true in the latest Texas shooting, the real problem for law enforcement is how to intervene effectively in the situation without becoming a “Dead Cop.” Even when a SWAT unit was sent in to take out that shooter, one of the officers was almost shot in the head – the bullet struck his hat.
Sorry I still don’t feel it was justified to wait while he slaughters little kids with impunity – and citing “ WE might get killed “, “ he almost killed one of us “ when they finally did move in and Union rules didn’t require proactive action etc etc …as reasons to just LET IT HAPPEN

Let’s get serious here – does anybody think that a person who would willingly destroy an innocent human life – because it is a “problem”, has the slightest pinch of guilt or “fear from Heaven” about the say so of some clergyman. To me, I find the notion that they would even be bothered in, understand, or have the slightest “holy feel” in the first place, hard to understand. Of course I make exception for the truly desperate, with absolutely NO possible avenue for help and assistance – which in our generation should never exist in the first place.
We have known for decades there is a connection between SSRI antidepressants and gun violence; yet, it is never incorporated into the solution. Why?

Then perhaps red states should pool resources to study this issue and implement solutions to address it.
The states need to take back their intended constitutional roll to be the laboratory of experimentation and actually solve these issues in order to protect our God given rights.

A Republican candidate for governor in Michigan was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and charged with misdemeanors for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, the agency said. Federal agents raided Ryan Kelley’s home in Allendale, Michigan, on Thursday morning. NBC News received a tip about the raid, which was confirmed by a law enforcement official. An FBI spokesperson later confirmed that a search warrant was executed at the home where Kelley was arrested. He faces four charges related to his alleged actions at the Capitol, including disorderly conduct and willfully injuring or attacking U.S. property.

US is working to keep Russian oil flowing
“Negotiations are extremely active,” Yellen said Tuesday. “I think what we want to do is keep Russian oil flowing into the global market to hold down global prices, and try to avoid a spike that causes a worldwide recession.”

So if it’s Russian oil it doesn’t have the same deleterious carbon effect as it does if it’s American oil?

and Saudi might help us if we stop our Yemen Ukraine Syria fires.
main point being – Putin has all the leverage by threatening a world wide recession by simplying clicking OFF.
LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA FROM THE COMMUNISTS
The far left tells us we should be CONCERNED over global warming. Electric motors release OZONE. Ask these people what would be the effect of millions of electric vehicles releasing OZONE? “GLOBAL WARMING”. Now, ask this same group who is going to pay for these none existent recharging stations and where are they. Next, ask this same group of mental giants why the recharging stations they do have-run off of DIESEL generators. Tesla waiting on batteries – because these batteries are made in places where they can get rare earth elements, like communist china.
Clearly, they think the middle class can pay for a new electric car – I think not, But let’s move on, what happens when the batteries used by one of these cars overheats and what happens, when a car loaded with batteries hits another electric car loaded with batteries. NOTHING good.
So what should we expect if your new electric car turns into a roman candle. Your insurance rate goes up, and maybe you with it.
I’m going to stay with my gas car, get myself a lawn chair and find a hill to put it all on. So I can watch the fire flies at night from a safe distance.
CALL ME OPTIMISTIC
Why don’t we just go back to the horse and buggy days? Oh, I forgot, horses pass gas…..how about just a row boat, so we can only go where there are rivers and/or streams allow us; unless we decide we just want to walk. That should take care of things like they want….but they are NOT gonna do that….are they?
Biden Promised To Throw His Opponents In Jail. The FBI Arrested A GOP Gubernatorial Candidate The Next Morning

I’ve heard rumors that if the Red Flag Laws are passed, they plan on taking weapons from any one that was in the rally rather they were near the capitol or not.
how is the Senate going to pass it.
They will with the help or push of the right, or should I say ‘so called right’ which are wrong now.
THEY WILL TAKE THEM FRON ANYONE WHO EVEN SUPPORTED THE RALLY EVEN IF YOU WERE 3000 MIKES AWAY AND HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN TO DC OR EVEN KNEW WHERE IT WAS.
In FACT, IF YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS,AND CHARGE YOU WITH BEING A TERRORIST.
FDC
i dont think so
i think they want to know the homes with guns – so they start with the intimidation visits at homes without one UNTIL it sets a precedent for people to get use to it and comply.
I hate to think how right your words really are, and it is already going on. Sort of like arresting those who have children in schools where they are pushing the other agenda….I refuse to say it since you all know what I’m talking about…..and if you don’t, go to the other side anyhow.
When they issue the mandate for us to turn in our weapons, I wonder how
many phone calls will be made to the police, claiming “someone stole my gun!” LOL
And this reminds me – when you go to the doctor and they ask you if you
have ever felt depressed, thoughts of suicide, etc. answer “NO”. I wouldn’t
put it past our asshat government officials to use this against us in the
future as a reason not to be issued a FOID.
No denying that a coup has taken place in this country. It took place November 3, 2020 overnight and into the morning of November 4, 2020.
And when the Communists seize power they act quickly and forcefully to cement their power, because they know that otherwise their hold is shaky, the more people realize that they are illegitimate the shakier is their hold.
All the speech made impermissible since 11/4/20 has been to tamp down the ability of people to share/learn that they are actually an illegitimate regime.
If you were truly elected you wouldn’t have to be so fearful about people questioning, talking about the election, that you have to imprison them. Even if I ignored all evidence and somehow imagined that this corrupt stooge won the election I’d be horrified that in [what used to be] America we couldn’t talk about it openly.
See Catherine Austin-Fitts.
and an election steal WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE without a Corrupt Senate and House.
we saw what they did when they “implied PDJT stole the election”
True! This regime sure doesn’t act like their candidate was the most popular in US history.
Teachers, Parents Sue Virginia School District For Allegedly Concealing Children’s Preferred Gender Identity
Excerpt:
Several teachers and parents are suing a Virginia school district for a policy that allegedly forces educators to affirm a student’s gender identity without informing parents, according to the lawsuit.
https://tinyurl.com/5yabpcad
All these lawsuits —lawyers have no shortage of customers that’s for sure
Impressive how we buy them bombs and bullets to kill us with. Death by bioweapons, inflation, social isolation and a judicial system run amok. Whoever thought this system of money laundering/transfer up should win the lifetime capitalist award. Money is king. All hail the king.
Money and power have always been the king.
With all these law suits, why the heck are all these lawyers running for political offices? Politics must pay better than lawyering is all I can think.
All the gay people I know are sick of all the hoopla, never wanted any of it, and have nothing to do with it. They do not identify as anything other than Americans who want to live their lives and be left alone. All the idiocy, including the rainbow flag, any and all celebrations, etc. are embarrassing to them.
We have a month where we celebrate who people have sex with.
After flipping decades of the left telling the right to get out of people’s bedrooms.
Mental disorder, the left is insane.
And a very dangerous.
Don’t get me started on Juneteenth.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLDEN DAYS OF JUST KEEPING IT IN THE BEDROOM.
That is good to hear. I rant about all types of people here at times, but I have known many wonderful gay people and even some who are conservatives. When I do rant about certain people, however, I always mean those who are full blown leftists, which means all types are fair game, including “whitey” lol. In fact, to be brutally honest, it’s the white communists who are the most willfully ignorant and militant in their beliefs, and I myself am white.
Yes, and it’s the white Communists creating and hammering all the wedges in our country.
(((White)))
Your vision is too narrow to fit reality.
I don’t give a damn what color they are, and none of that should ever matter. I also know people who don’t like dogs and/or cats, does that matter? Or I have a black dog, but don’t like a brown one, is that a big deal? How about a big cat instead of a small cat….make any difference? Gees people let’s get real here. Life what it is, and all we gotta do is learn/accept it and live with it…what ever it turns out to be. I’m not always happy what life gives me, but I still have to accept it. Either Accept It or get out of the life.
The truth does not care what you think, it’s still simply the truth. Yes, there are white communists manipulating whole races of people for power and control.
If I were a black American I would consider it beneficial for me to understand who is attempting to manipulate me *due to my race* and why.
It’s the communists making this a racial issue, not me.
So have I, some of them much better than the “regular” idiots out there. Same goes with skin color also. I’ve known many people with skin color different than mine, and actually never noticed that there was a difference until the media started hammering on it.
Yes, they are being exploited just as blacks, Latinos, and women have all been used and exploited by our govt to create division.
The only radicals I have run across were the trannies that all of a sudden are free to advertise their perversion in public and in the workforce.
Yep, Commies hammering the wedges they themselves create.
Can you imagine being gay in the USA and some kooks dreaming up a flag and telling you that’s your flag now? I have it on good authority that it’s highly insulting 😉
Ugh. No doubt it’s insulting.
Sort of liked the Olden Days. We all knew who was gay or lesbian, but we still worked for them talked to them and made friends with them, no big deal….you do what you do, I do what I do and keep our blabber mouths shut…..nobodys business but our own. Now it is blabbermouths all over the place; push push push. If you don’t like it we still want to shove it in your face. The old saying used to be: what goes one behind the closed door in your own house is nobody else business…..Why make it so public? Why not just do it in the middle of the street instead instead of just talking?
To all you folks out there in OK, you have a chance to vote out a longtime Never Trumper RINO on June 28,2022. In the Republican primary. Vote for T.W. Shannon, he was former Spkr of the House in OK. You guys can talk all day about RINOs now is the time to put your votes to count against this freaking RINO.
Get rid of that RINO Lankford.
Doctors trying to determine why many young people are suddenly dying | Daily Mail Online
“Doctors seek answers.”
I’ve got an answer.
They’ve invented a new “syndrome” to cover for the fact that the jab is killing healthy people.
Because they followed the science and trusted their worthless evil doctors, governors, presidents, university deans, and HR people at their jobs. They told them it was super safe, super effective, and without it they would be unable to work, study, travel, or ride public transportation. Never forget.
Have to admit, my lifelong (a good few) “respect” of all things medical and legal, has taken a considerable dive. In fact if one ponders deeply, neither are necessary.
,
I would like to see a better article. With stats.
To say that in an entire country “young” people “under 50” are having heart attacks, does not tell us a whole lot. There are always a number of men in their 40s having heart attacks. 100 for which a cause cannot be identified (no inflammation? no clots) out of 750 a year (where did this come from in under a year?) does not say a lot.
However, athletes in their teens, 20s and 30s are not known to have heart attacks.
.
Start asking the right f’n questions:
Who has our border wide open? *Who do they work for?* Who benefits from open U.S. borders?
the way sportsmen should take a knee…………….in my humble opinion..
Yep.
That’s the only knee I remember prior to this insanity, and no one was ostracized or forced to acquiesce to kneeling for prayer.
But, now it’s prayers to moloch….and I can live without their fake entertainment.
However, I have enjoyed a few boxing matches in the last few years. 😉
.
No one should be taking a knee for anything. It is a sports event.
“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.” –Matthew 6:5-8
No one needs to make a public show that they are praying. God hears you regardless of what position you effect.

Had my standard annual physical several weeks ago. Besides normal blood work etc, I asked for the covid antibody test again to compare to same time last year. I have not been jabbed or boosted. I did have covid December 2020. I’ve had worse seasonal allergies. Anyway, the antibody number this year is higher than last year which I presume is indicative of continued strong resistance.
Excellent news, Brant!
Am thinking the Justices of the Supreme Court are getting tired of being sitting targets and have decided to rip the bandage off so to speak, they have announced they will be releasing rulings on Monday June 13 and Wednesday June 15.
Hopefully the first two will be on the one about abortions and the other about guns that seem to have the radicals all riled up; get the rulings out there and that stops the theory that if the rulings haven’t been put out yet they can somehow be stopped; that kind of talk just encourages more looneys to go hunting.
Also hope the families of these Justices have all been moved to safe, undisclosed locations; was just reading that group that put out the home addresses are now going after the children by putting out where they go to school.
On the days the Court releases their rulings the releases begin at 10:00 a.m. east coast time.
the DOJ isnt looking into the Organization Ruth Sent Me and their funding.
that DOJ’s boss was suppose to go on the Supreme Court under Obama after he killed Scalia.
The one you really want to see is the WV case. If Morissey prevails, both Congress and the bureaucracy will be getting the sharp end of the stick where it really hurts.
These people should be arrested.
In honor of Pride month let’s be honest.
If LBGTQRSTUVXYZ were all republicans, the left would scream with outrage that drag clowns are a stereotypical representation of a marginalized community that demeans and debases gays with this clownish dancing around twerking in front of children pornographic display. They would also be suing any and all drag clowns and the people who hired them in order to make it stop.
You have to ask yourself how many gay men think drag clowns are bringing unwanted attention and representing that ALL gay men are pervert pedophiles?
It’s no different than midgets and dwarfs getting on stage running around making fun of short people. How about clowns made up to make fun of victims of downs syndrome? Would everyone be OK with adult clowns made up like children making believe they are humping each other for “show”? And let’s just say it, drag clowns aren’t really much different than white people in blackface performing to “entertain” people.
These gag queens are a real drag on society.
The past two weeks the Stock Market has been in a typical Bear Market Rally with resistance of 33, 250. It has been in a trading range within roughly 32,500-33,500. It now looks poised to resume its Bear Market trajectory.

I am glad you did enjoy it. Most of the commentary is all about fundamental analysis. I am strictly technical and use technical indicators when it comes to up or down decisions. The key is to believe what you see and not see what you believe.
German to Zelensky: You know those tanks we promised to send you?
Well you are not getting them
https://www.rt.com/news/556670-germany-tank-ukraine-scholz/
So, we know that Poland has been donating tanks to Ukraine, with a promise from Germany to replace them.
Only the Germans can’t replace them.
Why? Because Russia supplies the titanium that is used to armor German tanks.
And no, this is not from the Babylon Bee. Now we know why States and nations run by the Left get flushed down the drain. Collectively, the oh, so well educated Left couldn’t hit water if it fell out of a boat.
the deaths of J6 consist of murders via heart attacks and strokes to get the cops killed by Trump narrative, and then 4 cop suicides after J6 to eliminate eyes that saw too much.
Saw in the msn news pop-up window on computer that the President of Mexico attempted to blackmail President Biden into inviting dictators –
American sychophantic “journalism” has sunk to a new low – and I would say, did they even check with the State Dept. to clear that with them, making this very inflammatory claim against the leader of Mexico? Then again, maybe this is straight from the lazy, stupid, feckless people making a mess of our foreign policy.
Trump’s .943 batting average
By Don Surber
Nothing beats success like success. President Donald John Trump’s victories in the Republican primaries have convinced me that I was wrong. Endorsing candidates rocked. He is 116-7 for a 94.3% success rate. That translates into a .943 batting average.
In Tuesday’s primaries, he went 16-0. A 17th race — Ryan Zinke’s bid for Congress in Montana — is undecided but he is ahead by 1.5 points.
Sure, many of those hits were singles. Kristi Noem never was at risk in her bid for the Republican nod for another term as governor of South Dakota.
But singles add up. Pete Rose had 3,215 career singles on his way to a 4,256-hit career, the most ever. He carried a .303 career batting average too in an era dominated by pitching. I am not a Rose fan but today’s hitters never faced the likes of Marichal, Koufax, Drysdale and the dreaded Bob Gibson. He faced them all in their prime.
And Trump hit grand slams in the Ohio and Pennsylvania Senate primaries. Senators Vance and Oz would be in his breast pocket alongside his shades.
Trump’s willingness to tread where wise men never go — the party’s primaries — showed leadership because once again he kicked conventional wisdom to the curb.
His endorsements worked on three levels:

Texas LNG Export Terminal Shuttered For Three Weeks After Explosion
BY TYLER DURDEN
WEDNESDAY, JUN 08, 2022 – 07:49 PM
Update (1749ET): The explosion at Freeport LNG at Quintana Island has forced operations at the oil and gas export facility to be halted “for a minimum of three weeks,” according to local news KPRC.
Freeport receives about 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day or roughly 16% of the total US LNG export capacity. This means LNG exports will shrink and result in more supply on the grid, pushing down natural gas prices.
A “small explosion” at Freeport LNG terminal in Surfside Beach, Texas, resulted in the plunge of natural gas futures on Wednesday afternoon.
Local news KHOU reports the incident occurred around 1140 local time in the 1500 block of Lamar Street at the facility on Quintana Island.
“We are in the process of monitoring the situation and will provide information accordingly,” Freeport’s Director of Corporate Communications Heather Browne told The Facts.
~
Criterion points out that the facility is the fourth largest in the US in terms of flows. Freeport receives about 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day, or roughly 16% of total US LNG export capacity

Biden: “I Don’t Want to Emulate Trump’s Abuse of the Constitution” Despite Losing a Series of Court Fights

So who here on CTH is going to watch the clown show extravaganza J6 special TV show? Heck no – not me or my Hub!! I truly cannot sit & watch those EVIL commitee members spew lies after lies. I will come here to CTH to see the comments about what is happening & tomorrow listen to Glenn Beck radio & Tucker’s show. What a mess our great country has come to. So very sad.
I’m sure the ratings will be like the 2020 elections – fraudulent!! All 81 million ChiCom Joe voters will tune in!!! Polls taken will show that they demonstrated that President Trump was the instigator of the “insurrection” and should be jailed – just a wild guess! Believe nothing the corrupt leftist msm reports. I will rely on Sundance watching and reporting on the leftist propaganda scheduled for tonight! When do the Republicans get equal rebuttal time on the the same networks spewing the J6 lies tonight?
Yeah, I usually watch Newsmax but I’ll watch Tucker instead. I usually watch Tucker at that timeline anyway.
I heard something about OAN not showing it.
OAN is showing a movie that tells the truth about Jan. 6th👍🏻👍🏻
https://truthsocial.com/users/OAN/statuses/108448698634601105
Yes we are watching now!
Why give them ratings?
Good. I’ll watch that instead except I can’t get them anymore. I’ll go online.
I applaud those Treepers who can stomach it. Not me though 🤢
Not sure I would applaud anyone who’s giving clicks to this Manufactured BS.
It’s on all the Networks tonite. All regular programming has been cancelled. And it’s on every cable news except FNC and possibly, News Nation.
Am I curious about the production values of this Witch Hunt Propaganda? Yes.
Am I going to encourage these people who obviously are doing this to bring our nation down? NO.
Frankly, I think this is the one “show” that NOBODY should be watching. And that is really unlike me, cuz, in general, I think we should know what the enemy is up to.
But , in this case, I think they’ve already made it clear what they are up to.
Why. They will use the ratings to their narrative. Tune it out.
“I applaud those Treepers who can stomach it. Not me though”
I’m in total agreement with you.
Didn’t even know it was going to be on tonight.
When you’re retired you lose track of days and time.
Been riding my motorcycle so no car radio.
I find myself making excuses to go for a ride.
Riding gets my mind off politics.
Because,
I’m busy trying to outsmart everybody on the road who is trying to kill me…..(including cats and dogs)
When I ride, I don’t have time to think about the government,
Who is trying to kill us with mandates and regulations designed to break our spirits.
I applaud those who make me laugh and don’t give up….
my78 MPG . Honda Rebel 300
….Mine did not come with the blond, just to let you know….
Not in our house; not giving television ratings to kangaroo court
Not here, either. I’ll watch Tucker rip it apart!
He did a good job of that.
And now he’s got a good guest on who’s doing it, too.
No way I would EVER watch it.
The very fact that the event is broadcast during prime time tells me all I need to know.
For me, it is the advertising I’ve heard all day today on radio. Funny, I don’t recall Trump rallies, with tens of thousands, being advertised.
I hope Cheney and Kinzinger choke on their 30 Pences of silver.
On every station.
All regularly broadcast shows cancelled.
Pretty f*cking obvious.
I’m on antenna so its Hooterville for us followed by Hogan’s Heroes. 😉
FNC is non- commercial all tonite.
Tucker, Hannity, and now Laura Ingraham.
Expose of the J6 LIES.
It’s good.
Since FNC is not airing it, I’m gonna have my TV purposely tuned into FNC tonite, just for the ratings.
I’ll turn the volume off if I have to, but I’m hoping ratings SOAR on the “news” channels that are not airing this nonsense.
Tuckers doing a good job ripping this crap apart.
Full hour, no commercials.
I will be watching “El Dorado” with John Wayne and Dean Martin.
That would be “Rio Bravo” (1959). “El Dorado” (1966) is Wayne, with Robert Mitchum in the deputy part, and James Caan in the young gunfighter role. Similar remake by same producer/director (Howard Hawks). Not as good a movie, but certainly better than any kind of Congressional hearing I’m sure.
I have both on the DVR, either way. Ricky Nelson was way better than James Caan in the supporting role. Mitchum and Deeno play excellent disheveled drunks.
Good movie.
If I had to choose,
I’d go with a root canal!
I can’t imagine the average indifferent American choosing to watch. I would think they would opt for a movie/series on their streaming service any day over this – what most everyone can see wasn’t what they are making it out to be.
A good excuse to watch a movie or binge watching.
Probably a good/bad Lifetime movie on…
Stand on principle. Do not watch the Kabuki theater. Do not give them ratings. Take a stand.
On a cruise in Alaska, not watching
Nope. Not me. I’ll wait for the reports on what they say from people like Bannon, Carlson and others. Cannot stomach looking at let alone listening to these fake Americans. Ugh.
