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.

Judge Permanently Blocks Biden Oil And Gas Leasing Pause In 13 States
AUG 21, 2022
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-permanently-blocks-biden-oil-and-gas-leasing-pause-13-states
A federal judge Thursday issued a permanent injunction against the Biden administration’s pause of new oil and gas leasing in federal lands.
In the permanent injunction, Doughty ruled that the executive branch has no authority to change both laws.
and the media is spinning it that Biden is opening leasing
“out of the goodness of his heart” (and old sarcastic grandmother saying)
Finally a President Trump appointed Judge!
The purpose of lawfare tactics is disrupt and distract now and the mission is done by the time the ‘wheels of justice’ slowly grind out anything meaningful or finite.
We can learn from that. More sand in the machinery.
Ah, but check this out. Apparently there were some goodies for the oil and gas industry in climate change bill.
FTA: As an added insurance policy, the language in that portion of the bill ties the green energy incentives that Biden and the Democrats sought to matching incentives for oil and gas exploration. If they want solar and wind on public lands, they “must offer new oil and gas leases first.” One energy analyst interviewed by the AP described it as a dawning realization by Democrats that they must “abandon the notion fossil fuels could soon be rendered obsolete.”

To a man who is now deceased. That was the totality of that trial, and they pulled it off in plain sight. Jeffrey himself was the client, and he obviously will not be facing a trial.
Over and done with.
I repeat, Ghislaine was tried and convicted of supplying those girls to Epstein.
Epstein, who then did all kinds of heinous things to girls in order to control powerful people.
None of these people will pay a price and the crimes continue.
But, hey, GM was convicted and punished.
End of story.
Yep.
Who then pimped them to apparently no one.
Sex with underage children is rape, not just prostitution.
And all the rapists fly free.
Except for the one that sampled his own wares.
He is now silent forever.
Well what was the “Lolita Express” for? Voyeurs’?
The TRIAL did not concern itself with that. Maxwell’s trial was only concerned with a small number of girls procured for Epstein himself.
It’s over and done with, and they’ve closed the book.
Not quite.
“Would you like a cookie?”
The Left, in a nutshell.
I wonder where they got that picture? What judge would pose for a photo with a bag of cookies and a bottle of whiskey like an aging pajama boy?Why, that would be Judge Bruce Reinhart.
Wouldn’t you just love for your daughter to bring that home?…Movies tell the future….see Son-in- Law.
Exactly
Wondering: besides the 2 men (prince and lawyer scholar), have any girls recognized other men they became ‘involved’ with?
Now older, have the girls mentioned names or guesses to somebody? Maybe they have been paid off or lives threatened. There must be a reason why we don’t know of other clients VIA the girls who ‘knew’.
Census Bureau Admits Overcounting 7 Blue States, Just 1 Red State
AUG 21, 2022
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/census-bureau-admits-overcounting-7-blue-states-just-1-red-state
In a [not so] shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.
All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.
Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College. It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn’t deserve.
Is there any recompense to the States when the Federal government lies to them about their representation?
It seems like a pretty fundamental aspect to our Constitution republic, which strikes at the core requirement to have fair representation in the House of Congress.
“He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.”
Huh. Weird thing, that Declaration…
“ He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.”
Proxy voting during COVID emergency procedures, anyone?
“ He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.”
What was that about arming the IRS?
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers”
FBI bros? Border control?
Gosh what is unique about Utah I wonder. Hmmmm
Everything swamp is a fraud.
Viral Video: Democrats Slam Voting Machines
and Undermine Confidence in America’s Elections (trendingpolitics.com)
An opinion in the Epoch Times this morning, by Jeffrey Tucker. I agree with his analysis and conclusion 100%.
“There needs to be a to-be-abolished list and any federal government institution with the word agency, department, or bureau needs to be on it. The last few years have shown us the power of these institutions and the devastation they can cause. The only sure way of preventing it from happening again is to put a hard stop on all the bureaucracies that caused our suffering. Society itself, which is smarter than bureaucracy, can manage the rest.”
I’m good with this. Let’s start today.

What’s with Kash Patel’s eyes in this picture? Are those sanpaku eyes photoshopped?
….He has problems controlling them …it is an ongoing issue…..maybe a nervous tic….
I have a gut feeling about that car bombing.
BTW, did they locate the January 6 “bomber” yet?
Here is an issue that will and is dividing folks…even here in the treehouse…
I will not try to tell anyone what to think….judge for your self…..but it may be wise to ask Why now….
https://www.infowars.com/posts/desantis-every-single-mandate-must-be-removed-vaccine-injured-should-be-able-to-sue/
videos here as well
It begins.
Divide and conquer perhaps?
It could just be that he can read the writing on the wall and is not going to be the rat that goes down with the sinking ship of the vaxx scam.
I remember when the gaslighting was THERE IS NO TREATMENT for Covid (except the killing machines of a respirator and remdesivir of course). The “only” treatment was a vax and lockdowns were going to be in place ‘until the vax.’ Wait for the vax was the mantra. If Trump had not super-speeded the vax rollout who knows how long the devastation world-wide would have continued. Ten years? WEF etc were going for broke. Funnily enough I really don’t care what his agenda is currently in not disavowing the vax. He did good and I do think he knows what was actually at stake – I’ll wait patiently for some while longer to conclude what’s going on with his current attitude towards the vax. Also – Whenever anyone does something that is puzzling I must always take into account that their family is likely being credibly threatened by the deep state and globalists – they know how to kill without being fingered (car crashes, directed energy weapons for heart attacks etc). Not tinfoil hat stuff. And deeply serious. If he is protecting his family by not overtly disavowing the vax I cannot condemn. (also taking into account of course that he has NEVER EVER promoted forced vax mandates).
So I agree with what he’s saying, but know he’s a lying, cynical POS who once recommended these death jabs and made a big deal of making it a fined offense to ask for proof of vax to be a customer at a business but did not stand up for the employees of all these businesses.
Many large FL employers mandated the jab and his response was the muh corporations the GOPe and NRO phonies all cling to when government using corporations to censor, debank, etc. comes up.
Add to that he claims he took the clot shot which if he did makes him too stupid to be elected and if he didn’t (which I suspect) a big liar that through his lie may have influenced others to take the clot shot he knew was dangerous and did not take.
He’s going this route because it is Trump’s major weakness with a lot of his base.
Your last sentence says it all.
So, Lulu, you voting for lil’ Nikki “Pothead Communist” Friedchicken?
Great post for suppressing R turnout in November, there. Great forward thinking. Always let your blind emotion run off with your common sense.
Sometimes I despair over the lack of reasoning capacity on the right. Emotions are for children.
Oh, and PDJT supposedly was jabbed, too. So that makes him a fool or liar as well? Sauce. Goose. Gander.
DJT is 70+ years old. He might have thought as a senior it made sense. No healthy 40 year old can claim that. My personal belief is anyone who took the jab is an idiot – but I was trying to be polite as I can see the seniors may have believed it was a good risk for them.
I don’t think my comment affects FL voters governor choice in Nov. I’m appalled by him playing this cynical political game because he knows that’s where they are now attacking Trump with is base.
This isn’t emotional – it’s factual.
DeSantis had no good reason to take the jab.
DeSantis is not stupid – so he’s likely lying.
DeSantis is saying mandates bad now but did nothing to defend FL residents from jab mandates at their jobs.
Trump is being attacked about the jabs now to target a percent of his base and DeSantis runs out with this? Just a coincidence I’m sure.
All Great points Lulu…..thats why it angers some….they can’t be argued against…This is how you know DeSantis is a RHINO who is being allowed to break RHINO rules…for now. The election fraud is another thing. He is NOT doing what is needed to end the fraud.
AG, I think 95% of Floridians frustrated with aspects our Governor’s trajectory will be voting for him in November. I will be voting for the Foam Party Disco Biscuit Eating Poseur Of A Senator instead of “Dockamint” Demmings. I hope the Governor starts focusing on our shortcomings here at home once he is re-elected. If he isn’t responding to our calls and emails now, maybe a “Rally In Tally” of his Voters might get his mind right.
President Trump never, not once, ever, suggested, recommended, installed mandates. Not once; that is another lie that people keep on pushing.
President Trump instigated Operation Warp speed to find treatments and possible cures. That the deep state actors within the federal government funded medical community steamrolled their way into controlling the narrative that vaccines was the only way to go – it was President Trump that introduced on a national stage the early treatment ideas of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and even UV light for hard surfaces and was immediately vilified by the press (who probably got their talking points from the Fauci’s and Birx’s of the world).
It is not a major weakness of Trump, it is a major weakness of people who refuse to wake up and realize they are being played by the biggest mass-hypnosis through media the world has ever witnessed.
I’m not talking mandates. I’m saying that you don’t promote a deadly injection – full stop.
It’s no different than recommending people ingest arsenic etc.
It is a weakness for him – as more people die, become disabled, or wake up to their decreased life expectancy the media will flip this onto him. They are already going that way starting with Alex Jones, but it’s coming.
Personally, I think his best bet at this point is to never mention them again as he recommended them long after it could be considered ok.
I’m disgusted the RD is going this route after his own behavior which was no different than DJT – it might have actually been worse on the shot issue.
YOU don’t. But it happened. It could have been longer lockdown periods… much longer.
This type of argument… “You don’t…”
Moral high ground fallacy In which a person assumes a “holier-than-thou” attitude in an attempt to make himself look good to win an argument. Moralistic fallacy Inferring factual conclusions from purely evaluative premises in violation of fact-value distinction. For instance, inferring is from ought is an instance of moralistic fallacy.
I do agree one of PDJT’s weaknesses, and a well-known one, is his germaphobia. What more perfect way to manipulate and railroad a coronavirus into a world-wide episode of Fear Factor than with a famously germophobic person?
This is why he bought into vaccinations, as did a majority of the people across the world. PDJT grew up in a time where polio, measles, and many other deadly illnesses were kept in check by vaccines. It made sense to include the creation of vaccines into the mix. Still does. How was he, or anyone else to know, that the ones pushing these particular genetic manipulative injections is what these scientists were pushing?
His germaphobia blind-spot was the one entry door the deep state knew they could use, and use it they did.
As a voter, I have no problem with President Trump in a 2024 campaign (assuming he, having been vaccinated, probably boosted, doesn’t develop health issues). I will vote for PDJT in a heartbeat even after I have had to endure actual devastating losses in the death of business partners to the shot itself, family members who have nastily shunned me for not joining the crowd of vaccinators, and too many close friends who have now passed on from sudden deaths and/or suddenly discovered stage 4 cancers. My entire social network has been gutted to the point where I have a new appreciation for the hermits, now called the Desert Fathers, of the early years of Christianity, at times wondering if perhaps I have some of those hermit genes, cause I’m still here, still independent, still trying to make things work, and still anxious to see the Revenge of the Lion – it’s going to be wonderful!
Though his spouse was a cancer patient… I agree with your last statement. Oncology still is recommending for their patients to this day.
Does anyone still have confidence in the Cancer industry? I know I don’t. Years ago ….Readers Digest had an article about “Good Cancers”. Where it explained there are cancers that will crop up …especially breast…that should be left alone. But the cancer industry treats all cancer the same and puts all patients through the same dangerous regimen of therapy. …..How many people die from the treatment and not from the cancer? Sound familiar?
He was jabbed before she announced her cancer – I’ve often wondered if she took the jab and that brought on her cancer.
Trump put Pence in charge of Covid and the the pre-election…
.
A day late and a dollar short.
.
1 of the comments to the infowars article asks, ” Do you think President Trump and DeSantis are working together with DeSantis saying what President Trump can’t”?
I don’t believe it but it’s an interesting thought.
It sure seems like Trump and DeSantis would be talking directly with each other. At least I can hope.
This was always coming. Another last resort to sell as a “flaw of #45″… and False-i suddenly retires at the same time too.
Shiny object shiny object alert!! Give me a break.
Next in… crashed economy when a gazillion dollars is allocated to “vaxx injuries” in new govt crypto currency…. ma’am just let me get that tracker in place so you can collect your allotment.
Next in 89,000,000 IRS agents are here to assist you in getting your settlement on injuries, see this was a good idea… these people are a thin plot B-rated movie at best.
Beware The Lessons Of War….
Karl Denninger
Better pay attention folks because this can and might come here.
The daughter of a Russian political philosopher was killed in a car bomb Saturday night that was meant for him, officials said. Russian criminal investigators said they were investigating her death as a murder.
That a car bomb was involved is obvious. The question is now “who set the bomb?”
If in fact this is traceable to Ukraine then if we support Ukraine we now declare that assassinating political figures is acceptable in wartime.
We have two choices: We either cut off Ukraine right here and now, or that’s our position.
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=246680
I doubt the Ukrainians acted without US assistance and as directed by the US Rent-a-Generals in Kiev. This may also explain the sudden dismissal of the Ukrainian Security Chief, who saw a war of assassinations as dangerous development.
Hopefully the Russians tie the assassination to the US and they publicly expose the fact.
Then a few democrat government officials begin to go up in flames as repayment. There are plenty of proxy foot soldiers who will do the job for them in the US for a visit to the Oasis of the 7-Virgins, ironically thanks to JoeBama himself.
I doubt they acted without US assistance, but I’m wondering if the US acted without Ukrainian assistance.
Good question … plus we have the very public record of Members of the US Government (from both Party’s) advocating for the assassination of President Putin.
I put nothing past our country anymore.
It occured to me that “whoever” planted this car bomb( I vote CIA) has created an excuse for” Russia” to retaliate in kind.
I have been hearing that Zelenskyy is losing his usefulness. Perhaps this bombing will be an excuse to take out Zelenskyy and blame Russia.
On Intel Slava Telegram, it was reported the Ukraine’s secret police had a high ranking official shot in the head the day after the Russian girl was bombed in her father’s car. The retaliation may have already started. It is thought her father, a college professor and openly supportive of the Ukraine operation by the Russians was the original target of the bombing. The father at the last minute decided to not drive with his daughter from a family party as described in the press. The father was not associated with the Putin government as the western media has described.
Bombing Russian girls is not cool.
I’m guessing we did it ourselves and didn’t outsource the job to Ukraine. And we should be darn careful because that means the children of Americans are fair targets now.
As you know, the current occupants of the Us Government never believe they will suffer the consequences of their actions. In this case, US Politicians do not realize that their puppet masters have placed them (and possibly their families) in the crosshairs.
The Russians are a peculiar lot … they are historically more prone to exact revenge from the correct targets, than act indiscriminately.
We already have been doing that. Remember the boyfriend of GA Gov. Kemp dying in a fiery one-car crash on the freeway? Yeah. Kemp kept saying over and over that “conspiracy theories” were stupid and not supported by the evidence. Sure, Kemp. Sure.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9022709/Daughter-Georgia-Gov-Kemp-mourns-death-Sen-Loefflers-aide.html
Kemps’ DAUGHTER’S boyfriend. Jeesh.
That is a gem friend! Slainte
When Trump speaks of the swamp, I wonder whether he realizes Cocaine Mitch is one of the ones at it’s head…I wonder sometimes just how ignorant Trump was of the true swamp while in office.
Early on he knew it was deep. He knows now it encompassed almost everybody.
That’s why he is destroying all the RINO’s in the primaries. It not only helps the MAGA movement but incapacitates Mitch. His recent comments about Mitch make it obvious he knows…
Don’t forget Trump endorsing Mitch…….but my belief is Mitch was gonna cheat his way in…Kentucky was going to boot him….So in order to have the cheat believable…he had to have Trumps endorsement. Look at polling before Trumps endorsement.
I think that before taking office, he was ignorant of the true depth and breadth of the swamp, but we all were.
Since then, I wouldn’t call it ignorance but he seemed to believe he could deal fairly with some of these people, as if they all wanted what was best for America.
If Mitch can do a thing that’s good for America and still get what he wants, yes he will do it; but if America and the swamp are at odds, then damage to America just can’t be helped.
I believe he knew it then and realizes it now more than anyone. If there is any fault IMO, it was perhaps a belief or hope that some of them could be persuaded to quit their evil ways and follow the right path to serve America instead of themselves. I doubt he’ll ever make that mistake again.
That was the purpose of his litmus test in 2017, immediately after his inauguration. President Trump proposed the repeal and removal of Obamacare to be replaced by the “Republican Plan”… Just as the Republicans claimed they wanted.
Lyin’ Ryan and Shanghai Mitch both failed and confirmed what he knew..
I think the most depressing realization for me in recent years is that for some people, their greed, lust for power, and corruption goes to their very core, and there is no way whatsoever to change or rehabilitate them. I think at the beginning, President Trump hoped he could win some of them over to his side. That hope dissolved very quickly for all of us.
Yes Trump was going to show the politicians and a divided nation….that good policy/economy would “make America Happy Again”.
The Republicans had no health plan. It was all talk to raise money.
Trump posted the following on Truth Social:
“Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate. This is such an affront to honor and to leadership. He should spend more time (and money!) helping them get elected, and less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China!”
When PT stops extending the olive branch and instead uses a stick to beat up on someone, they are done. People have called for him to rip Mitch a new one. Well there it is. A “mean tweet ” of beauty. 😂
Too late to beat up on him now….This is his last term. He better start going after his replacements…Thune?
Nobody says it better than Donald Trump. Mitch McConnell has been bad mouthing Republican MAGA candidates for the upcoming midterms. Mitch has to go.
Fraud At The Highest Level Of The DOD?
Karl Denninger
EXCERPTS:
Do recall that in August of 2021 the Secretary of Defense issued a mandate for members of the service to take the Covid-19 shots.
Those voluntarily taking the EUA’d shots prior to that date were considered “vaccinated” however, those who had not were ordered to take Comirnaty, the fully-licensed Pfizer vaccine.
This is because other than (perhaps) in a time of war the DOD cannot mandate something under EUA, and we are not in a declared war.
If you remember I have been challenging people to produce for me one vial of actually-licensed Covid-19 vaccine with the label and lot number on it. I issued this challenge at the time of the BLA approval and did so with a very specific purpose.
No such lot number and label/vial, nor a picture of same, has ever been sent to me.
It is alleged that in fact vials labeled Comirnaty were used to inject service members. Since Pfizer stated there was no such product in that above disclosure where did the labels and lot numbers come from? Are they EUA lot numbers and a forged label and, if so, who forged them?
As it turns out the lot numbers appear to be authentic and it is reported they match valid lots from EUA’d production, which certainly appears to show that this was a deliberate act of fraud and, in the context of approved drugs, would facially appear to constitute a crime under 21 US Code Sec 352.
The fun is just getting started folks — exactly as I predicted it would.

That’s great – maybe they can class-action sue. But 90% of our armed force – mostly young people have now damaged their fertility, many their hearts, increased their risk of cancer by an insane amount and shortened their life expectancy considerably.
It’s horrific and someone getting a slap on the wrist or these troops getting a check doesn’t fix this.
Now, think about all the college students who have permanently destroyed their health at 19 years old.
If and more likely when at this point Trump gets indicted we must maintain energy, turnout, and prevent another steal. So many good candidates out there. Continue to share information and don’t watch cable news.
They want to instigate a MAGA violent response to lock all of us up…
Indeed. Voting has never been more important. The swamp has the capacity to cheat 10%. But the voting against them lately has been such, it is overwhelming their capacity to cheat and PT endorsed candidates are winning.
Not at all surprised. Watch over the next five years, the amount of excess dead and disabled is going to be horrifying.
If that is supposed to be Mike Tyson, doesn’t he have have a pretty big face tattoo around one eye?
It doesn’t show very well. Hidden by shadows, facial hair, and forehead wrinkles.
It was originally going to be hearts.
Real clear politics has a clip from CNN of that super Trump -Hater Maggie Hagerman (sp?) – 3 points 1) she talks like she knows DeSantis running , just a question of strategy , keeps saying ‘his advisors “ hmm – that is tip on her sources 2) On Mara Lago raid , “Republicans” ( her sources – Gope / DeSantis advisors ?- no doubt ) were surprised by boomerang effect – they were hoping “it would leave a mark “ – some disappointed projection there by her and 3) claims DeSantis was first to condemn raid and that is bad for him “to defend Trump” – that is a Fake News alert …
“On Mara Lago raid , “Republicans” ( her sources – Gope / DeSantis advisors ?- no doubt ) were surprised by boomerang effect ”
Because they are clueless and have been since PT came down the escalator. They live in a world where everyone says “how high? ” when told to jump. So the real world baffles them when it does not obey a command.😂
Digging thru some old boxes …I ran across some of these do you remember them???
oh yes yes – My mom was dedicated to collecting and redeeming these.
My mom saved S&H Green Stamps and redeemed them for some things. Including a baseball glove for me.
I still have and use a GE hand mixer that my mom got from saving Green stamps in the early 60’s. It still works like new. Try getting a small appliance today that lasts 60 years.
I still have a variety of small kitchen utensils, such as spatulas, and also cast iron skillets etc that I have used since the 70’s and most of the utensils were purchased at yard sales or found in the local dump (this was before dumps changed and most people had no idea what an antique was!.our dump was a gold mine.)
I hauled so much stuff home from the transfer station (recycle station ) that I actually repurposed and used then sold before down sizing and moving.
It is or maybe was incredable what people throw away. I say was because as we go into this recession /depression, people will think twice about replacing things.
Yes, and still have some kitchen utensils from that era, and Blue Chip stamps, in use today. I remember going to the brick and mortar stores and ‘buying’ stuff. Also, Betty Crocker and General Mills box tops.
When I used to spend weekends with my grandparents, one of my morning chores was licking stamps and filling the books.
My Mom has us in an assembly line! 😂
Sure do. and Top Value (TV) Stamps, too.
Alpine cigarette stamps…..
Yes…and gas stations at that time weren’t advertising gas pump price…it was how many green stamps you would get with a fill up.
Mom worked hard pasting these books together…
Lord yes…ha.
Pasting those in the book pages was my job, and after Mother got a set of dishes there were enough left over that I was allowed to spend it on a train case for my efforts.
Used that case for many years.
I loved putting on the stamps when I was a kid. Mom would let us.
Another good one by Jeffrey A. Tucker:
How Could We Have Been So Naive about Big Tech?
Only 12 years ago, I was still celebrating the dawning of the Jetsons World and dripping with disdain for the Luddites among us who refused to get with it and buy and depend on all the latest gizmos. It seemed inconceivable to me at the time that such wonderful tools could ever be taken over by power and used as a means of social and economic control. The whole idea of the Internet was to overthrow the old order of imposition and control! The Internet was anarchy, to my mind, and therefore had some built-in resistance to all attempts to monopolize it.
In retrospect, it’s rather obvious that this would happen because it has happened with every other technology in history, from weaponry to industrial manufacturing. What begins as a tool of mass liberation and citizen empowerment eventually comes to be nationalized by the state working with the largest and most politically connected firms.
https://brownstone.org/articles/how-could-we-have-been-so-naive-about-big-tech/
And so how long has Mr Jeffrey Tucker been so ignorant?
It is interesting to note that those early (and even today’s) futuristic cartoons, books, movies, et al had (have) real life physicists and engineers as consultants and writers.
That is the reason past sci-fy seems to find it’s way to reality over time in such an accurate fashion.
It’s called creativity and vision …. with contemporary visionary’s often being the ones considered to be on the fringe during their life times. With the shortening of technological evolutionary cycles, such as Moore’s Law, some visionary’s and dreamers are living to see their dreams come true.
Or it could be reverse engineering of the remains of Area 51.
Early in the cell phone era I bought a cell phone. Texting then came out and it was enabled on my phone. One of my sons was using my cell phone and was texting. The next cell phone bill that came in was 4 times higher. I canceled texting and went with basic phone functions, just calling and voice mail.
I have not joined the smart phone community. The more I read of the negative side of smart phones the longer I will remain a flip phone Cell-ibate.
I know that the smartphone is just the tip of the iceberg of the tools that the techno-control state has and is using. I know that my little form of resistance is for naught, the techno-control state has many means at it’s disposal to gather information. But it’s my resistance and I’m sticking to it.
I’d love to know how you do that. Pure talk stopped supporting 3G a few months ago which meant I had to get a new phone because my old S7 wouldn’t work on the network any longer.
Now the S10s are no longer supported with security patches and soon will need to be replaced as they will no longer work on the network.
I’d love to know how people can still use 3G and earlier clams in this day and age.
My old LG 3g is no more. I currently have a 4g flip phone from Alcatel and it’s enabled for just phone calls and voice mail. No security patches needed.
Do you want the straight scoop on the Ukraine debacle? Matt Bracken forwarded me to this most excellent discussion from Scott RItter and 2 other gentlemen that cuts straight to the Truth. It is 2 hours long, but if you are a serious minded person who truly wants to understand the roots, nature, conduct, progress, and probable conclusion of the ‘War’ in Ukraine, you will invest the time and gain a deep understanding of the situation there, uncolored by Ukie flag icons or progressive/WEF spin.
This only confirms my gut feeling that Russia is playing an existential and deadly game for the survival of Western Civilization, and that the ‘Empire of Lies’ is an empire of fools.
Thank you, Matt!
…and if an acceptable receipt can be printed for every sale, one can also be printed for every ballot.
Live Voter + Paper ballot with Serial Number + Receipt provides a far better chance to verify voting.
Also, many 3rd world nations use finger prints and it woild be easy to also add a photo to the ballot and receipt. Yes, this adds complexity but a complexity forced by criminals.
I thought I had read, before the 2020 election, that PDJT was going to mark ballots maybe with special paper or something to stop any fraud. I guess he didn’t get that done?
Pence was supposed to be doing that.
Instead of a serial number on ballots, they want a serial number on every voter too. And I don’t mean voter ID.

Hi, Ann . . .
I like the concept that you could look up the image as scanned and the votes as cast for your ballot. As long as there is no association between this number and voter, the secret ballot process is retained.
In the age of the high-speed internet, and huge data storage devices this would be trivial to implement.
The last part would be to allow people to use programs to look up all numbers cast and independently count the ballots to ensure they add up to the official results.
The ballot box can still be stuffed, but at least when it comes to the electronic counting side we would have a means to independently verify, both personally and nationally the official results.
Perhaps another database of all who cast ballots, and how many from each address would provide the transparency needed to fight ballot stuffing?
Someone need to do a Meme of Liz with this:
Lizzie Cheney turned her coat.
Voters pegged her as a goat.
Tried to say Dems didn’t cheat.
Now poor Lizzie lost her seat!
MIKE LINDELL DROPPED A BOMB LAST EVENING!
In (approximately) the last 90 minutes of Day 2 of the “Moment of Truth Summit” they dropped a bombshell – showed decisive evidence that “Hammer and Scorecard” is real, and (presumptively?) was used against this country to steal the 2020 election.
Whether by our own intelligence agencies, by the CCP, or a collaboration between them remains an open question.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THAT SEGMENT.
Once on-demand versions of Day 2 are up on FrankSpeech and/or Rumble, find that segment on your own, watch and then help spread the word!
God Bless Mike Lindell a true patriot who puts his money where is mouth is.
Call to actions will start going out on his program at 6pm EST on Frank Speech… he’s trying to encourage voter cast records and has a form for citizens to request them.
The clock is ticking to get these records for as many counties in the US as possible by the Sept 2/3 deadine.
THE REAL WHISTLEBLOWER STORY: DENNIS MONTGOMERY, THE HAMMER, THE HARD DRIVES, THE WIRETAPPING OF TRUMP, AND THE PROSECUTION OF GENERAL FLYNN – The American Report
I will begin with a clip of Alex Jones warning Trump that the covid kill shots will be detrimental to his presidential run:
https://www.revolver.news/2022/08/alex-jones-issues-emergency-warning-to-president-trump/
Take a look at it. It is a trap. It is the same trap laid for Nixon. Someone in the administration did something and you come out to defend some aspect of it. This defensive position opens up the opposition to rain down valid criticism on you.
I know that this video is a trap, even if I did not read Sundance earlier video. (1) Trump never made the vaccine mandatory. (2) He absolutely never mandated the vaccine for children. (3) He was assured by his experts that the vaccines are safe and the experts in the bureaucracy have not changed course to this day.. Irrespective of what the CDC said or implied the federal government is mandating vaccines for the military, etc. I see no experts forcefully compelling the federal government to end emergency rule nor terminate vaccine compliancy.
If Alex Jones had his back then he would have said the above. The literally killing consequences would have been null if the above policies were in affect, which was Trump plan. In fact, it was the ‘experts’ who blocked and are still blocking ivermectin and other proven medicine.
Alex Jones should have said this and then stated that Ron DeSantis carried out the spirit of Trump orders for Florida which saved countless lives (by non-mandatory usage) and using other remedies. Trump recommended ending the lockdowns to the governor and DeSantis followed suit. This is what Trump wanted and DeSantis carried it out. If Trump followed Biden’s direction from the beginning then would DeSantis break ranks since Trump demonstrated a love for this country by sacrificing a comfortable life and it was Trump who saved DeSantis governorship? No, not at all. For AJ to point to DeSantis and say be like that is a false distinction. But, for Trump to say the covid vaccines are bad, which is clearly evident, right now is to walk into an indefensible position. The current president, Fauci, et al should be saying that the vaccine is bad. The time will come, for Trump, to broach this subject is such a way to solve this covid nonsense once and for all. Trump is not now in that position.
I am confident that Trump will win the White House again. He should appoint Pierre Kory to replace Fauci, have Malone investigate vaccines terrible affects on children (I am not talking about covid vaccines, but, that crap that has been foisted on American kids since the mid 1980’s at least.) and end big pharma immunity for vaccine injuries and death RETROACTIVELY! That time is when you talk about the covid vaccines.
All this corruption occurred before Trump got into the White House and he is absolutely not responsible about it. Therefore, he does not need to apologize for it at all.
Alex Jones laid a trap before Trump.
I support Trump, but this is BS too. He kept promoting them long after it was known how dangerous they were.
Frankly, it was obvious from day 1, but let’s say he didn’t know – he certainly knew within months and yet he promoted them until he stopped a few months ago to stop the booing.
These experimental injections are dangerous and have always been dangerous – and it was obvious from the get go but it is blatant now with daily data reports worldwide of all cause mortality, myocarditis in kids, birth rates, etc. etc. And then there’s the athletes dropping dead left and right.
It’s something he needs to come to terms with. The shots are a nightmare.
All you guys are full of crap. He has to come out and own responsibility for being lied to about the efficacy of this so called vaccine? He was lied to about how it cured covid by his experts. The ‘experts’ raised the alarm about how deadly this virus was — Rat Rosenstein’s sister — and , again, the ‘health experts’ demanded draconian actions, except quarantine from China, and the necessity of the vaccine. And, he is to be blamed for that?
And, then, there were the trials to determine how safe the vaccine was and the big pharma, the government, academia, etc. buried the vaccine injuries. The only reason we know is that the experts were sued in giving this information to us — remember that it would take, what?, 50 years to release the info — and the injuries were obfuscated. Plus, the trials were terminated early in a way to bury the vaccine injuries. The trials began under Trump, but, were terminated early in Biden’s time. The experts were actively hiding vaccine injuries beginning with Trump and he has to apologize for that?
Now that is bullshit.
Plus, the flaky PCR test was used to determine covid. Does he apologize for that too?
It is a good play to get Trump to apologize for this nonsense. Alex Jones laid the trap, these chorus of ‘accounts’ call for it and we the People are suppose to sleep walk along with that.
No way. The blame is not Trump. Even if I hated his guts, the blame is not Trump.
Disagree… individual choices are… individual.
The Experts told him it was good.
He listened to his Dr.
He took it. (proves he didn’t know, same boat as we)
Health Care Providers/Drs. listened to CDC, FDA, WHO
CDC, FDA, WHO owned by/received orders from Corrupt Politicians
It was obvious from day 1. Many people did not take it and lost jobs, family, even access to their own children because they knew. How could he not know months or over a year after their release?
As I said, it was obvious to anyone who chose to spend 15 minutes investigating before injecting something touted by people that promote reducing the population.
Your is the best explanation I have heard yet for Trump not coming out against the vaccine. I knew it must be something like it ….the connection to what happened to Nixon….but couldn’t quantify it…..Thanks.
Cheney vows to help campaigns against fellow Republicans who dispute 2020 election result
What is she trying to hide?
So she will be campaigning for Democrats?
It is what Rove and McConnell do.
The stolen election.
The swamp is losing the party, so it’s all swamp hands on deck!
Last I checked Cheney’s greatest call to fame was getting a 60+ Percent Landslide… AGAINST HER, that means she can’t even get elected as a Dog Catcher!
Her threatening to campaign against fellow Republicans has as much power as fart a against a HURRICANE! And God know’s she’s full of Gas on a good day!
So… the old saying “Sound and fury signifying nothing” applies to Liz “The Bloat” Cheney. All her power now comes from us taking notice of her. The tactic we can use to defeat her is just to mock her and she’ll eventually get off the stage!
Just when you think she has already regurgitated all the crazy, up comes a burp
biden-energy-sec-granholm-clean-energy-will-be-the-greatest-peace-plan-the-world-has-ever-known
I went to one of the ‘No Nukes’ events back in the early 1980’s and listened to leftist dingbat Jane Fonda say pretty much the same thing. It was an unscientific utopian vision based on magical thinking 40 years ago and still is today.
This Granholm woman is your typical pseudo-intellectual ‘Progressive’ who isn’t bright enough to understand just how stupid she is.
Crazy eyes all the time!
Peace like in a grave yard? That kind of peace?😒
“Liz Cheney’s defeat taught her nothing.”Is Liz Cheney mentally ill? Or just spoiled rotten?
Liz calls the entire state of Wyoming “sick” for kicking her to the curb. She is also critical of Ron DeSantis for campaigning for “election deniers” like Kari Lake and Blake Masters. I thought it interesting that Ron seems threatening to her and MAGA Trump voters alike.
I wonder that Liz never sees her failure to represent the wishes of the people who elected her as a violation of trust. Dems and Republicans both are increasingly open about their ruling class status.
“In addition, she singled out Florida’s Republican governor for dishonorable mention, saying: “[Ron] DeSantis is somebody who is right now campaigning for election deniers. And I think that, you know, that is something that we’ve got to have real pause about.”
https://spectator.org/liz-cheneys-defeat-taught-her-nothing/
Liz Cheney was a so so rep going nowhere. Now she’s in the news everyday on the TV talk shows and the left wing media can hardly get enough of her. It’s all about money and power and she is surging. But will it last ?
Indeed. But she’s a blue blooded neo-con of the highest order. And total defeat by the” little people” , is a validating victory to them.😂
She’s a snobby, inside the beltway female dog. She grew up in the most affluent suburb of DC and lives their now. She can’t stand the people of Wyoming or anywhere else in flyover country, or 15 miles away from her in the less affluent suburbs.
Her life has been an insular one surrounded by great wealth, the politically connected, and the most entitled, snobby people you can imagine.
She’s achieved nothing on her own and has had an adult life of taxpayer funded wealth.
She isn’t looking so good lately. She’s afraid of something, and she isn’t used to people standing up to her and not doing whatever she tells them to.
She hasn’t got the Jill Biden look of desperation yet, but it’s coming.
Megan Kelly did a Gaslight piece for the Babyonian Signaged Comet Pizza which is a favorite of the Democrat party, claiming there was no basement…..Yet Diner’s, Drive-ins, and Dives went to the basement previous to that Gaslight Op by Faux News……………..Does Sacrifice Night have anything to do with Marina Abromavich?
Look at the symbols in the triangles
Did you research the validity of that email at wikileaks?
I will bet you can’t find it.
We went through this in 2016/2017 with people posting faked emails – a quick search at wikileaks proved them to be fake.
I will withdraw that one but will add one better.
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/15893
MARINA ABRAMOVIC SPIRIT COOKING
Yep, that is evil.
I read every single email in Podesta’s file at wikileaks, by the way. Very revealing.
I appreciate the polite reminder to make sure of my sources. Cheers
The Podesta’s art collection is just as evil and revealing. Satan is looking forward to hosting them.
If you look into this – there was something very wrong there.
The owner visiting the WH dozens of times?
The owner being named one of the most powerful in DC – a city full of senators, ambassadors, lobbyists, the Supreme Court, etc.?
The owner a childless homosexual instagram was full of weird photos and comments about children.
The bands that played there that joked about pedophilia and killing kids.
The art work on the walls that was creepy and very pedo/Eyes wide shut
Did you ever hear my story on the faux news Megan kelly Gaslight op she tried to do with Comet Pizza (with the islamic Symbols on its signage which goes further back to babylon). She went to Comet and said there was no basement. yet years earlier Diners, Drive-ins, and dives went to the basement of this creeped out babylonian Pizza ping-pong weirdos with strong ties to the DNC
Going back to the Johnny Depp story. No matter how big a star you are, or were, the plan is to replace you. There is a Great Replacement going on in the entertainment world, which used to be dominated by Hollywood, and Holly wood was AMERICAN.
Oh, they’ll keep a few of the old ones around, just so no one suspects anything. But if they were willing to throw Johnny Depp under the wheels of the globalism bus, and Johnny Depp was arguably the biggest star in the world when the WaPo decided he needed taking down, the others get the clear message. Conform, and you might not have to go.
That’s how you get Brad Pitt wearing a skirt on the red carpet; that’s how you get this:
Johnny Created his own Sh.t pit he’s a liberal as they come.
I don’t feel one bit bad for him or any Hollywood celebrity..
No he didn’t. My point is what I said in my post.
I think I actually hate Crenshaw the most which is saying something with Haley and Pence there.
Crenshaw pretends to be one of us.
We have a Great Eye right on our Federal Reserve Monopoly 1 dollar bill. Did Tolkien & Lewis know some things being professors at Oxford? Of course they did
If wondering what’s going on in the middle of the night at the southern border, here’s a sample from last night brought to you by one of the original TPC (The People’s Convoy) livestreamers, now on mission along the south border, here near Yuma, Arizona. PDJT’s wall, imposing as it is, does little good with big holes in it, no enforcement and waiting buses. Thanks Brandon.
Just last year, Snake Head Carville was criticizing the idiocy being pushed by democrats, but someone obviously got to him, told him to get his mind right and toe the party line.

And this was the guy who gained fame because he said “It’s the economy, stupid. ” 😂
Nah, he toes the line near elections and gripes about harmful stuff for dems on the off years.
It’s not surprising that after a 40 point loss, Liz Cheney thinks she’s a GOP kingmaker with any credibility. When has scorched earth, disastrous defeat ever deterred a neo-con? Indeed it spurs them on! 😂
She is unbelievably dimwitted! How has she not yet learned the more she or anyone tries to destroy MAGA, the more MAGA STRENGTHENS!
I find it surprising. Even Hillary knew when it was over and took to the woods with her bottle of Chardonnay.

Kiev published a kill list a month ago, since taken down because of prompt activist alarm.
https://archive.ph/50otS from https://cpd.gov.ua/reports/
Speakers promoting narratives consonant with Russian propaganda
From Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).
Acting head of CCD, Shapovalov, charged that people who deliberately spread disinformation are “information terrorists,” subject to be tried as “war criminals.”
This list had later Amnesty International added after the recent damning report on human shields by Kiev.
The only crime accused is free speech, and deliberation, by writers and journalists.
All on this list are from USA, Europe, India, and more. This list was funded and compiled with direct US attendance, which became public, and was withdrawn. By no means inactivated.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/reinhart-formally-rejects-doj-argument-to-keep-trump-affidavit-sealed-calls-raid-unprecedented.
Yet he signed off on it. Ten bucks says he never read it.
Virtually every search warrant application in this country is signed off on. That’s the nature of the system. The courts accept the government proofs at face value ab initio. They are unilateral applications, formally unopposed at the time of issuance.
The validity of the underlying affidavit is where the fight later occurs. When the government screws up, all that ‘evidence’, direct and indirect, is excluded. Cases blow up. Careers and lives are sometimes destroyed.
But here, we are not dealing with a typical warrant or investigation.
This was a purely political exercise, a stunt. The risks to the Government here are 1000x greater. Entire institutions are now in play.
If the affidavit proves bogus or malicious, the FBI and DOJ will have sealed their historical fates.
That is why this stunt reeked of extreme desperation the day they pulled it.
This corrupted judge is mouthing the right words now. But the gravity of what is at stake will probably have him fold in the end. We will see.
The deep state took a gigantic risk here.
That search warrant was unconstitutional on its face. It was a general search warrant. And it was on an unprecedented target, a former President, which should have required higher standards be upheld. And it went against applicable case laws and prior court decisions.
I was pointing out how the judicial system normally operates in these matters. There are not ‘higher’ or different standards under the law relative to who the target is in this situation. The President doesn’t have a higher quantum individual 4th Amendment right than you or I. That would violate the equal protection clause.
But getting down to brass tacks, the deep state really doesn’t care about the law or Constitution here.
They got the information they were after. If a judge later says they were “wrong”, they still got the information. It will be disseminated for political and intelligence purposes in their bigger ongoing coup battle.
The ‘warrant’ was merely their fiction to swoop in and raid the joint, and grab the goods. They’ll deal with the fallout later, is how they think.
The court that will ultimately destroy them in this instance will not be a judicial court. It will be the court of public opinion and of institutional retribution once the political pendulum fully swings the other way. It is already swinging increasingly against them. That is the risk they are now apparently willing to take.
These are acts of corrupted institutions acting out of severe fear and desperation.
I don’t think they will disseminate the vast majority of the information, because it proves their crimes.
This is first and foremost a clean-up operation to protect the DC cabal, just like Hunter’s laptop etc.
Correct, job one was to take the physical evidence that PDJT had or still has? (scanned) on Obama, Biden, DOJ, FBI, CIA, and likely many people within Congress, especially regarding their attempts at preventing him from winning in 2016 and the prosecutions of him while in office. It was a cleanup operation. Information that would be useful in his RICO suit against all the above.
Second, they will use this to gin up charges in hopes of finding a corrupt judge and ultimately taking a corrupt SCOTUS to prevent him from winning in 2024.
Sunshine = Disinfectant = Cockroaches scurrying for cover.
The judge and DOJ are going to play pretend we have rule of law. They are actually playing monkey in the middle.
NBC is reporting just the opposite did the judge change his mind?
*******
“A federal judge has indicated much, if any, of the search warrant affidavit from the search of Mar-a-Lago may not be unsealed and made public. NBC’s Marc Caputo reports.”
Source:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/judge-hints-most-mar-lago-142010054.html
Not trusting NBC, but that doesn’t surprise me.
They are all part of the same broken system. This bad magistrate just rubber stamped it. Compromised idiot.
In a sane judicial world, this dirty magistrate would have kicked it up to a district judge, and a smart one would have at least held an in camera hearing before issuing anything, due to the gravity of the request.
“The Swamp™” has over the last six years consistently abused the mechanisms of law and information classification to deny justice to the American people.
Well, I see that they have done this for about the last fifty years … and that some of those Swamp-Rats are still in office. Obviously, they are entirely used to it. They’ve got their “twenty years and lifetime pension,” and “lifetime appointments.” They think that nothing could possibly go wrong . . .
But, let me tell you this: “I see a sea change happening in American (and, World) politics, and I don’t think that these corruption-besotted people recognize it yet. “We live in interesting times.” Hang on to your hats because History is right now being written. Literally underneath our feet.
Anyone that becomes a threat but won’t play the corruption game becomes a target.
