In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

A complete & total Weaponization of Law Enforcement, the likes of which has never been seen in our Country before. Hillary Clinton’s lawyer takes a leave of absence from his Democrat law firm, run by Chuck Schumer’s brother, to work free of charge in the Manhattan District Attorneys Office, to “GET TRUMP,” while at the same time illegally writing a book about the fully “tainted” experience. The Injustice Department, working with the corrupt FBI, also stocks the D.A.’s Office. DISGRACEFUL!!!
To paraphrase Billy Jack, when policemen (the FBI) break the law, then there is no law, just a fight for survival.
Exactly what PT has been engaged in since 2015.
I loved those Billy Jack films. What a great inspiratin he was. I was a junior in high school at the time. I cried so much at the ending because of the unfairness of it all. It saddened me for the longest time.

Can it be possible that the Injustice Department is making veiled threats against Republican Members of Congress who are investigating Democrat corruption, in particular the Laptop from Hell? These threats must be investigated, and Republicans, like in the recent past, must not be intimidated by Radical Left Thugs and Scoundrels. The great people of our Country won’t take it anymore!!!
There are no “real” Republicans left…………….
If the “real” Republicans are all the ones since 1860 up to the election of President Trump, that might not be a bad thing.
“The great people of our Country won’t take it anymore!!!”
sure they will 817. most of the american people are now lemmings. single mother households and k-12 have seen to that.
tally ho.
With legalized pot to keep them sedated and compliant.
And members of minority groups that overwhelmingly vote Democrat because the true American culture of liberty and limited government is not really what they are interested in. Voting was a primary reason for the Great Replacement.
“The great people of our Country won’t take it anymore!!!”
Sternly worded letters must be sent!

Spirit Airlines
known as the — ahem – “budget” airline
Philadelphia Passenger Loses Shoes, Shirt, Wig Allegedly Brawling with Airline Employees Alongside Daughter
I have just about decided to never fly again. On the one hand I can sympathize with people who are tired of the airlines finding ever more ways to wring out more money from their passengers. On the other hand people who act like this should be banned from flying for at least ten years for every offense.
If I cannot drive, I don’t go. There are a few places I want to go but do not feel comfortable, flying.
Like other scams or gimmicks, many of the budget airlines were started as an “affordable alternative” and therefore attractive to some, for whatever reason…penny pinching or affordability.
Standards and service, now lowered the least possible standards, to acquire more passengers (translation-increased profits).
I’m with you Aggiegirl!!! If I can’t drive my gasoline powered truck there I don’t go!!! I haven’t flown since before 9/11! So I haven’t taken my boots off to go anywhere nor will I ever!!
Bubby, Love that ICE! I have not read the article but for me, the title says it all, plus the news we see here and there about unruly passengers etc. I have taken this further…I drive and do not stay in a hotel. Not the big or the little guys. They all have problems…the smaller ones, in my own humble experience, seems to be housing illegals…which would explain my biggest phobia…Bedbugs.
I should not have to buy a spray can of bedbug killer to bring with me when I spend money at a hotel!
Between the drug trafficking, prostitution and robberies that occur outside and inside these establishments,….I drive straight thru to where I go.
You are aware TSA can set up checkpoints on any highway that comes under the interstate commerce clause.? There they can do to you everything they can do at an airport including body cavity searches and seizing your vehicle/ property.
Mike: If stopped by the TSA while driving east, I guess I’ll have to toss the 5 gallons of water I keep in the back of my Jeep. They might have questions about the Ka-Bar, also. I use it as a toothpick.
I had hoped that President Trump would be the one to rid us of the unConstitutional TSA; but as time went on, I realized that the moment he tried, they would kill a bunch of Americans to make him look bad.
yes, I know.
I would follow the truckers that avoid the weight stations lol
they know all the back roads
And let us not forget all those pilots flying with “modified” health standards. The worst case scenario is both the pilot and co-pilot having “medical” issues. No thanks!
Seriously.
I was asking about cardio pulmonary physiology and where the flight surgeons all went…about a year and a half ago….
Here! Here! Girl. I have decided I am not going on another aircraft unless it’s my very own private jet….
It would seem, maybe just since zero, all standards have been lowered. IMO, standards were lowered for him too since he is not a natural born citizen and he actually had ZERO loyalty to America. All he wanted to do was destroy and tear down the civilization we HAD.
The entitled bunch are doing the dirty work…the other is sitting back laughing….
I going out on my tree limb here….does anyone think the decision makers or leader/legislators kids act this way?
I watched the video and there is something about it that I 100% completely predicted accurately, just by reading the headline.
Hmmmmm 🤔
Actually lowering the standards started when they were busing kids to integrate schools….I’m thinking if we took a longer look at why that happened (busing) we would find it had nothing to do with helping Black kids.
“something about it that I 100% completely predicted accurately, just by reading the headline”
You must have unheard-of psychic powers, Just Me
Otherwise I can’t for the life of me fathom how you might have predicted that … ummm … whatever it was that you predicted

So true. I have been pulled out several times for extra scanning. 65, gray haired, female, Caucasian, one traffic ticket in my past. Obviously more a security threat than that tattooed, pierced, deadlocked, fellow talking to himself and agitatedly pacing around the concourse.
The bald headed guy carrying the soda that turns and leaves with the big grin on his face really says it all.
Animals acting like animals can be very entertaining. That’s why we have zoos.
It really has nothing to do with the venue, they can put on that show anywhere. I’ve seen it many times in stores and restaurants.

Well, not the right people finding things out after f’ing up. Getting whites off the land like other places in the world.
There is nothing in this article to tell us if the rancher had a legitimate reason to shoot the illegal alien. It’ll be interesting to follow up and see what is discovered.
The rancher along with all Americans have a legitimate right to fire upon illegal invaders. In fact it is the duty of all Americans to do it. If you want the invasion to stop and you want to stop spending money like water on illegals and you want a safe peaceful country for your family to live in then you MUST protect it!!
You must defend it.

Mayes, Fontes Oppose New Trial As Hamadeh Focuses On Evidence Hobbs Kept From Judge
“Hobbs -the then-Secretary of State- knew of problems in Pinal County with ballots being incorrectly tabulated as an undervote. But Hobbs, her staff, and her attorneys kept that information secret from Jantzen during a Dec. 23 trial.”
Clarion is that you?
https://www.americaoutloud.com/arizona-corruption-katie-hobbs-belongs-in-jail/
FTA “Arizona is corrupt, and Katie Hobbs belongs in jail. Just the News published a great article that I encourage you to read. The recently stolen role of Secretary of State in Arizona is currently occupied by Adrian Fontes. Fontes is seeking to have Lake prosecuted for tweeting evidence from the public Senate hearings, specifically regarding the mismatched ballot signatures that we’ve all seen a thousand times by now. So what’s really happening here.
Well, Katie Hobbs and her organized crime crew – the same Katie Hobbs that abused her power by requesting her political opponent be censored in an election she was overseeing and competing in and who threatened to have election officials arrested for not certifying her fraudulent election – is now attempting to intimidate Kari Lake for questioning her and her gang’s corruption.”

She used to post on CTH.
That’s right she did! She even commented on one of my posts which totally surprised me. I hope she returns, she understands the corrupt Federal Judicial system as well as anyone!!!
She posted on election night 22.
I missed that what did she post? Do you remember?
Excellent and rye-opening information.
My burning question is who are the real people pulling our strings. Dr. Malone wonders the same and he states it is not Klaus Schwab or Fauci.
That answer will be the key to our freedom.
In our short 246 years from the Declaration of Independence to now the West moved into accelerated invention improving the human condition for all of mankind, but in the West specifically. From Archimedes, Galileo, Newton, Edison, Einstein, Tesla, et al…the sheer amount of invention is staggering as compared to the rest of the world.
Why? The Western concept of the individual, as enshrined by our Founders in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. One of the best examples for me, my grandmother would talk about; we went from the horse and buggy to space flight in less than 100 years. I thought of making a list but it would just be bragging.
It didn’t happen in much, much older societies; India the Caste System, China was imperial and then Marxist, Asia, ME/Africa tribal, South America tribal colonial, aka the 3rd World. Why?
Now here we are the West is under full assault. The very thing that has given us our modern world is marked for destruction, why? The NOW/WEF/CFR (parasitic pirates) have determined we are over populated and the world herd must be culled.
Back to pesky math, the world population is give or take 7.5billion people, of that the West represents around 1billion people. How is destroying the West (1 billion people) going to save the world from over population? It must be that Bill Gates common core math?
With the WEF just recently ending their coven in Davos and still these evil insipid NWO/CFR/WEF/Davos parasites are still ripping at the foundations of the West by dividing us, attacking our successes, as raaaa…cist, white supremacy, jingoist, homophobic, nationalist, fascist, selfish…you name the stupid victims slogan.
However when you look under the hood is due to the (WEF) insatiable greed. The world that “they” created built on the brilliance of others, ostensibly because “It’s not fair” and if you don’t agree you’re, “selfish, racist, homophobic…yada…yada…yada. You know, Zimbabwe needs a Taco Bell.
The answer is: If we want to stop the lunacy mind our own business. You look around the world from the plastic bottle to McDonald’s or the cell phone, these Wicked Evil F_uckers (WEF) have littered the world with “their” highly profitable plastic crap and glory be, now “we” have a problem.
Their solution for “their” problem is diluting the West with an invasion of illiterate 3rd world squatters, who marvel over indoor plumbing. This destroys the Western concept, you and I, while “they” ostensibly save the world from “their” crap,
If we want to save the world from “them” cut it off. Close down tens of thousands, big box, chain stores, fast food poison dispensaries and all of the plastic crap that represents, industrial farming, the constant tenuous supply chains, MAKE OUR OWN DRUGS! For God’s sake …in short stop glo-“bull”-ism.
Instead of destroying the Golden Goose let others make their own Golden Goose. If someone asks, we help them, otherwise; “We Mind Our Own Business!”
Make America Great Again! ..and we can share, if they want it, if not, well…
That golden goose…the one other’s have not made…is because they can come and take ours.
Does anyone know if there are still countries that one should bring their own toilet paper, when traveling?
I know on my lengthy drive, I carry my own as the ‘facilities’ in some places should be condemned….here in the USA…!
Maybe the FIRST thing you learn when you sub contract and work at all types of dwellings, some occupied and some not, is to bring your own TP!
Most of these creeps are pirates, very few actually created anything but are selected to front these created mega corporations. Like LifeLog to Facebook.
It’s a massive fraud perpetrated on the world.

Thanks. You and I did not do this, “they” did this, take “their” stolen trillions and correct it, as it’s already fixed.
Your posts are always most thoughtful.
Yes. “ mind one’s own business” When I don’t it invariably ends poorly.
Egomaniacs are incapable of every minding their own business.
Cheers!
It used to be a pejorative to call someone a “busy body” for the modern glo-“bull” -ist it’s a badge of honor.
To mind your own business was encouraged when I was a kid.
One of my long dead grandfather’s used to say: “everybody’s business is nobody’s business” in fact it might even be enforced with a belt if one was caught crowing to loudly. Perhaps that is where these WEF jerks are, spanking and sent to their rooms.
👍👍
It was like “they” left us alone for a while. With our ingenuity and limited resources we built our own little country within the US. Nice restaurants , shopping, sports complexes, churches. Had our own Utopia. Then when “they” stole to the point of no return… then the “build back better” came about…..we consume too much or is it we have nothing left to steal.
That’s the point. I like to tell young people I was well hydrated before the plastic bottle, they will actually look at you with confusion.
Main Street not Wall Street.
re: disposable plastic bottles
Yeah, we all should be able to drink our own tap water and refill our own re-usable bottles or canteens with it
If not, start raising hell at your town meetings to hold the water plant’s management feet to the fire
That whole high-lead content fiasco out there in the Midwest was solely a water-plant mismangement
They switched to a new water source (lake? river?) that was slightly more acidic than prior, and it was dissolving lead from the galvanized water distribution piping that brings water to your house
Solution? There are additives that will buffer the pH back up out of the acidic range, problem solved
They either didn’t recognize that, didn’t do proper testing that would have alerted them to the problem, or the manager at the plant didn’t want to incur the added annual cost for the additive
Instead it got blown up to a national controversy accusing Republicans of wanting to poison poor people …
… despite the city or county government being Democrat (why let facts get in the way of a juicy accusation?)

Then Trump will blame DeSantis for not firing Fauci and warp speeding the vaccines.
Try harder
I saw an article this morning that the garden gnome is charging $50,000-$100,000 for his speeches. First, who in their right mind would want to listen to what he says and second, his million$ will be useless while he is burning in h*ll. I cannot forget what he did to the Beagle dogs in the name of research and if God were a just God, he would let the same thing happen to Fauci.
There are many who still think Fauxci walks on water. And many of them are wannabe Fauxcis.
“First, who in their right mind …”
It doesn’t need to be people in their right mind, it can be Democrats

Man Who Stood Next to Ashli Babbitt When She Was Shot on Jan. 6 Is Sentenced

Jail you long enough in the worse of conditions and eventually one will do or say anything just to be outside of the bars and see their family.
If you are on probation and the government rules your life and can move to put you directly into jail at any time, you are that much less likely to volunteer to testify in a civil or criminal case against Michael Byrd or others for the variety of charges or causes of action for which they might be guilty or liable.
It’s not just persecution, although it is that. It is putting into action that the best defense is a good offense.
It may appear Ukraine has started to use chemical weapons. I’ve seen this suggestion on several sites. Wait for more do for more confirmation. Read the entire thread.
Now show us the videos of apartments full of families being destroyed at night.
What a sick way to die, war is hell. And Old Joe just keeps pushing for more.
That’s hard to watch.
But, thanks anyways.
Coal exit can happen only with stronger policies, and with China cooperating, says study

There. Fixed it. And since that is NOT going to happen, please STFU… But then the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research would have no funding.
Coal production by country:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-production-by-country
Reductions in emissions by country:
The effect on the earth’s climate temperature of reducing coal usage in America is absolutely -0-!! It’s just virtue signaling while the loss of coal energy will/is hurt(ing) our economy!! But on the bright side those billion short tons of coal America has in the ground aren’t going anywhere and will be available for future use when the climate change hoax insanity ends!!
Both you and VOWG are preaching to the choir.
MY POINT is that based upon THEIR complaints, CHINA is the absolutely essential key to solving what THEY claim they want to solve. Without China reforming which I pointed out THEY won’t do, it is all meaningless.
Which is why I told them to STFU.
And, BTW, I didn’t link to other data about China like every year for the past several years they have built more new coal fired power plants than the rest of the world combined.
Virtue signaling or another way to bankrupt and control us while a few people get extremely wealthy?
CO2 is not now nor ever has been a climate driver. Current atmospheric levels are a little over 400ppm. It ah been as high as 5,000 to 7,000 ppm. Wake up Co2 is needed for life on the planet, if it gets too low everyone dies and that will include the idiots who think it should be reduced. Citing science is a waste of time, just keep in mind, too low you are dead.
1000 ppm is the go to number for greenhouses.
5000-7000 ppm would probably give you a massive headache,
land might kill you if you breathed that mix for long enough.
But that’s humans, and not plants.
BP’s 2022 report, for anybody interested in the detail…

CCP’s crushin’ it with the CO2… more than double U.S. emissions, and growing stronger…
This looks like a chart indicating wealth redistribution…. because it is.
Damn I am so disappointed and pissed.
So many just don’t understand or maybe just don’t care what is happening in our country and even out state! Just, because it is not you being persecuted or robbed of your American rights does not mean you will always be safe.
Most people don’t recognize that it is not just about Kari, Senator Frye-Mueller, Flynn, Trump, the Jan 6th people charged & still in jail and so many other cases where there has been an outright abuse of our American constitutional system.
Come on people when do we stand up and do something? When do the citizens of America wake up and realize that their rights and privileges as a legal American are slowly being taken away. Maybe it’s not you this time, but with what is happening it could very well be you reaching out for your American rights that are no longer there.
Maybe the government’s failure to impose proper American constitutional law benefits you or doesn’t affect you now, but someday it could very well be you who will be the one asking for the enforcement of your American constitutional rights and law. Remember even many of the ones that remained silent and/or supported what was happening in 30s/40s Germany ended up on the trains
We had the opportunity to “stand up and do something” when we were mandated to stay home, not work, not assemble, not worship, not sit with our sick, not bury our dead, not witness our new lives being born , donning masks to get our basic need for food met and taking a untested vax. Our willingness to follow, comply and submit is all the evidence I needed to determine where we are as a people, as a nation.
How well I know—Someday even the ones that were 100% with what the Globalist were doing will realize this. Probably when they are the ones riding in the boxcar.
Howzabout stand up and don’t do anything. On April 15th is the best time to not do anything in absolute reciprocity with the gubmnt not doing anything worth spit in a gutter.
Good Morning Treepers……………

Now this is scary – Wonder if the reverse is true?
Could be they just hate sleepung with someone stupid enough to get vaxxed when they told them not to.
That’s what I’m going with!
I have to wonder who collects this data and where their funding comes from.
Will Baker: No one is collecting data and these reports are tripe.
Shedding of vaccines has been documented in our furry friends. I know someone who was able to avoid a legally required vaccine, due to acceptable titre levels from hanging out and playing with vax’d litter mates and mother. And they are not doing sexual intercourse….am guessing its through oral secretions, the paws, walking in pee….lets face it puppies pee…a lot!
A lot of universities with research and med schools often have a department of ‘comparative’ medicine, where animal research and human research meet. I know they study that stuff. Why don’t we hear about it…other than kitties with kidney failure or dogs with congestive heart failure or diabetes…??? I know someone who’s dog gets insulin…and another who’s dog gets lasix (diuretic).
That research came from somewhere…and the use of ‘human’ drugs….
be well this day…..
Reminds me of a river through the Mohawk State Park, circa 1962…there was a bridge and very cold river near our campsite.
Thank you for the morning nature picture! Nature, our true prosperity.
You, too.
Hows the recovery now days?
Oh, look. The “it happened with Trump, too” headline goes away and the correct story comes out. Wonder if it will make the MSM headlines… LOL.
US military failed to detect previous spy balloons from China
Feb 6, 2023
https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-military/2023/02/06/us-military-failed-to-detect-previous-spy-balloons-from-china/
At least three Chinese spy balloons floated over U.S. air space during the Trump administration, and another previously flew during the Biden administration, but it’s unclear which government agency tracked them or whether the presidents had previously been briefed on them, defense leaders said Monday.
Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, the head of Northern Command, which is responsible for the area around the continental United States, Canada and Mexico, told reporters Monday that his organization hadn’t been aware of any previous balloons.
“We did not detect those threats, and that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out, but I don’t want to go into further detail,” he said.
He added that intelligence agencies “after the fact… assessed those threats through additional means of collection…and made us aware of those balloons that were previously approaching North America, or transited North America.”
Former President Donald Trump denied in a Truth Social post on Saturday that any balloons had been detected during his administration.

Rest in the Vine: 2023: The Year of GREAT Victory and Freedom
I believe nothing from these folks. If balloons were over head, they would have been seen and outted as this one was. These lies are an attempt to normalize China openly spying on us as Joe’s been paid to green light it. If China said they would give Hunter a million a month if Joe agreed to a treaty of surrender, Joe would do it. Perhaps he has .
So NORAD and USNORTCOMM, after all this time of detecting and protecting, have a domain awareness gap that needs fixing.
Other agencies told them after the fact, EXACTLY the sort of communication failures (turf protection?) that allowed 9/11 to be a surprise.
The idiot defense is not an acceptable excuse and neither is being caught “surprised”.
Ulterior motives explain much.
If you even accept their BS Narrative.
Fixing a “domain awareness gap” doesn’t fix the real problem: The Military will not perform its basic function in favor of practicing politics against Real President Donald Trump.
This is just like when the FBI couldn’t–or wouldn’t–stop the Parkland School Shooter because it was too busy framing the President.
Nothing a little changes to the rules won’t solve.
Does anyone know how many times our government lies to the people by omission……any time they decide we don’t need to know they just lie some more. TRUST NO ONE
….how about…every time they open their mouths!
Or they went back and found 3 of those UFO sightings they finally admitted too and reclassified as Chinese baroons
They were spending way to much time plotting the overthrow of Trump, than doing their damned jobs.
Nobody tracked these balloons, but we found out afterwards by spying?
Nobody tracked the radio signals coming from these balloons as they spied and sent pictures live back to China.
They just had to play politics and have trapped themselves into everchanging stories that keep making us look worse and worse.
Can’t wait until the cartels figure out that balloons from China that only fly over Texas had to cross Mexico.
It is impossible to predict where the winds will take a balloon. But, “where the winds will take it, and how fast, and how cold the winds are,” is precisely the sort of weather data that is being sought. There is no easier nor cheaper way to get it. The transponder might simply broadcast, say once a minute, the craft’s current GPS location (and timestamp), and the outside temperature. Computers on the ground will do the rest.
There are lots of balloons up there at any one time, launched by many different nations. Usually, they use a standard list of radio frequencies and a standard data-stream format. You can “listen in,” if you like.
“It is impossible to predict where the winds will take a balloon.”
Your Wrong.
“With a newly developed sensor that can measure wind patterns, and a design that can execute flight changes efficiently based on those readings, a Stratollite can change altitude, catch winds, and maintain position within 12 miles of a specified target for four days.
You need to get straight on a new effective and deadly weapon. You’ll have to dig a bit because it’s all very hush hush, you know.

Not another entire day commenting on balloons ….my scrolling finger is getting tired…..and Jim this is not
picking you out.
At least it is overshadowing tonight’s State of Our Lies speech.
Weather balloons like this one are up there all the time. Usually too high to see from the ground. This is a basic and essentially cost-free way to get data about the various “jet stream” winds – which actually have a substantial impact on surface weather, especially this time of year (winter). No one can predict exactly where the winds might take them, but nobody should care. No reason to “tell the President” about anything that “happens all the time.”
“failed to detect previous spy balloons” story sounds like the “non-symptomatic covid-19 sufferers” or reality:
it didn’t happen (no balloons during the Trump years in office) the same way people were not invisible sufferers of a disease they never had; so basically
there’s no there there so hint to the media: lie better or better yet, just stop.
How could the US Military fail to detect giant Chinese balloons…floating through the sky like a big pizza pie…that’s Amore!
Well.. …Was Norad still on leave from tracking Santa Clause maybe? Big job ya know ha.
“The priorities of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have not aligned with the priorities of House Republicans or the interests of their own members, and they should not expect a meeting with Speaker McCarthy as long as that’s the case,”

Americans For Prosperity Signals It Will Oppose Trump 2024
MONDAY, FEB 06, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/americans-prosperity-signals-it-will-oppose-trump-2024
In the newest indication of headwinds facing Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity has indicated it will oppose his drive to return to the White House.
While the group didn’t mention Trump by name, its rhetoric in a memo posted on Sunday to the AFP website left no doubt about the powerful, Koch-backed political group’s stance on his campaign:
“To write a new chapter for our country, we need to turn the page on the past. So the best thing for the country would be to have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter. The American people have shown that they’re ready to move on, and so AFP will help them do that.”
“The Republican Party is nominating bad candidates who are advocating for things that go against core American principles. And the American people are rejecting them…If we want to elect better people, we need better candidates. And if we want better candidates, we’ve got to get involved in elections earlier and in more primaries.”
…
promises made,
promises kept…
( while under duress )
…proven.
The verifiable facts are worthy of trust since the effort, the perseverance through adversities,
are an honest, positive, difference maker….
The American People are ready to move on from Biden and Back to President Trump. MAGA 2024. Kill Globalism – America First all the way.
I am going to write him in no matter who the candidate is.
.
“To write a new chapter for our country, we need to turn the page on the past. So the best thing for the country would be to have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter. The American people have shown that they’re ready to move on, and so AFP will help them do that.”
Meaningless bullshit. What is a “new chapter” and why do we need to “write” one. For what. To accomplish what.

good call-out, counsel

Since I never read what causes these, I assume they are remote hacking attacks on Industrial Control Systems controlling heating, cooling, ventillation, etc.
Fire At New Zealand’s Largest Egg Farm Kills 75,000 Hens Amid National Shortage
FEB 06, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/fire-new-zealands-largest-egg-farm-kills-75000-hens-amid-national-shortage
The latest major food supplier to go up in flames, after decades of food suppliers not going up in flames, is New Zealand’s largest egg producer – after a blaze broke out on Monday, killing around 75,000 hens.
Prior to the fire, New Zealand farmers estimated that the country needed another 300,000 hens to deal with a national egg shortage, The Guardian reports.
Stuxnet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet
Stuxnet is a malicious computer worm first uncovered in 2010 and thought to have been in development since at least 2005. Stuxnet targets supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and is believed to be responsible for causing substantial damage to the nuclear program of Iran. Although neither country has openly admitted responsibility, the worm is widely understood to be a cyberweapon built jointly by the United States and Israel in a collaborative effort known as Operation Olympic Games. The program, started during the Bush administration, was rapidly expanded within the first months of Barack Obama’s presidency.
NO mention anywhere I can find of CHINA having chicken problems with China having BY FAR the largest chicken population while we have the worst chicken bird flu outbreak in US history and bird feed from the largest manufacturer made from US grains but with imported (almost certainly from China) vitamin content is causing chickens to not lay eggs for months, fixed by switching to a different feed brand.
China had chicken and duck problems, if I recall correctly, with an outbreak of some sort of virus at approximately the same time their pigs got hit with pig Ebola, their corn got hit with a virus, and there were huge floods that took out a number of dams.
It was beginning to look like the 10 plagues of Egypt for a while there.
China isn’t pushing to investigate the US biolabs and the likely US breach of the bioweapons treaty just on Russia’s behalf. They have every reason to suspect hostile US actions too.
We have been in WWIII for a while now.
Sadly, it is very difficult to know which enemy is attacking our own food supply- the CCP or Davos or both.
Based upon SARS-CoV-2 which…
Was timed perfectly to destroy Trump’s reelection prospects and resulted in voting system changes, now made permanent in some Dim states, that led to the election results in 2020 AND 2022. It also conveniently nipped in the bud the worst revolt against the CCP since Tiananmen Square occurring in Hong Kong and helped with the CCP’s HUGE aging demographic problem due to their past one child policy by killing mostly the elderly, the LEAST vaccinated part of their population. So many “birds” with one “stone.”
…I’ll take “CCP”, Alex.
Let us not forget….in order to get the votes close enough before relying on swing state cheat….cheating has to occur even in red states.
as this relates to the USA, why has no one been seen
setting fires and otherwise damaging companies that
handle our food processing?
wonder same…..does the gov rope off all traffic and destroy cameras before or after?
If the likes of that toad Bolton (never Trumper to his last breath) is saying no balloons went over during Trump, you can take it to the bank none went over. Defending Trump is the last thing he would ever “want” to do.
Chain of Command. If someone blocked the information going up, then it might not have gone out to Bolton.
He was a very short termer as well. But he is very reliable in terms of protecting his own tail above all else.
Sun Tzu would have had a field day with that arrogant, easily irritated blowhard of a walrus.
Our modern day Sun Tzu certainly did. I wonder whether Bolton has had enough time to reflect yet to realize how he got played, or if he has the capacity to undertake that task. If so, his face would be red on a permanent basis. Idiot.
The path of that high-altitude w-e-a-t-h-e-r balloon – just like that of every high-altitude balloon – necessarily followed the jet stream, which flows all over the planet and all around it. This was a weather instrument designed to remain aloft for a very long time. Usually, they fly too high to be seen from the ground, although “HAM” radio operators sometimes tune in to their transponder signals. (Which include their GPS location.) I’m quite sure that this unit was sending out telemetery, too, probably intended to be picked up by a satellite as is the case with most of them today.
The Federal Government owes some private company [in China] a check to compensate them for their needless loss of equipment.
The flow of air streams in the upper atmosphere has a considerable impact on weather on the ground, especially in the winter. A balloon can be put up there and made to stay up there – solar-powered (as this one was) and consuming no fuel. It is blown wherever the winds take it, but “where it goes and how fast” is what its owners want to know. It costs them almost nothing to find out. Unless an idiot shoots the damned thing down.
So why has no University or meteorology group came out and said it was a weather balloon and here’s he data we extracted from it? No one from all around the globe.
“It is blown wherever the winds take it,”
Your wrong

That’s what I first thought, too, but now it may be that the more important thing was to protect Mattis and all the other traitors who did not inform President Trump? hmm🤔

When was the last time we saw a picture of Susan Rice within the White House? She is Obama’s girl to the max! Does anyone know what she has been doing, what credits she deserves, what jobs she has attempted in the White House, what she is up to?
Snakes have to slither, have to wander, have to strike…it’s in their nature. Rice is such a snake…
Isn’t she part of Netflix now
Since 2018, but she is not currently listed as a Director.
Her job there is now done.
Netsicks is now completely depraved and perverted mind poison.
So true
kinthenorthwest: Rice was gifted a board seat at Netflix to collect $$. Just like a book deal, but, much more lucrative.
That’s why for years I no longer stream Netflix, even though I might have to wait longer for some shows to get to Philo or BYU.
She’s been running the joint from day one….is my guess

Fascinating interview with ex-Israeli PM Naftali Bennett about Rus-Ukr peace talks early in the war. Arguably the biggest tidbit is he says outright that NATO govts blocked a ceasefire that both Putin & Zelensky wanted. A lot else in there too…
Further to the recent thread on Neil Oliver. GB News seems to have kicked out Mark Steyn. They are under heavy pressure from Ofcom, the British government media regulator.

The former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett just confirmed what any rational observer could’ve surmised: Russia and Ukraine reached a preliminary agreement during the early phase of the war — “Both sides very much wanted a ceasefire,” Bennett said — but the US “blocked it”
and Zelenski said he would fight but Biden would have to pay billions of dollars in cash as a fee.
Joe said ok.
Fun Fact: Ukraine owed the IMF a Crap Ton of money in loan repayments at this time last year. Wonder what those numbers look like now.

Under normal circumstances, he cannot put together a prolonged and coherent statement.
I know the esteemed Governor of Arkansas will have plenty to say, which is what I look forward to!
Here’s one for you: Do you think Biden will deliver his speech tonight demonstrating his “sharp mind and coherence” or do you think it will be an obvious demonstration he has lost whatever marbles that exist in his mind?
I hope he shows all America his limitations…beyond anything the press can hide!
It depends on how effective the medications he is on last.
Like all drugs, they tend to lose their effectiveness over time and from overuse.
I hope McCarthy rips the speech pages! 🙂

In case anyone still refuses to consider that our schools are modeled on those in China, here is an extremely disturbing and horrific article showcasing why such a person should be educated on his or her unforgivable ignorance.
This is abuse pure and simple. Ask me how many seconds would pass before I’d be at any school which treated my child, and all children, so inhumanely. In fact, I believe I would make it my life’s work to get these sorts of policies well and truly banned.

Dr.SHIVA: We DISCOVERED The Twitter Censorship Infrastructure FIRST
This sort of thing was apparent to me immediately, which is precisely why I have never used “social media” and never intend to do so. It was clear that the content was not merely being “moderated,” but actively censored. This is also why I quickly abandoned “reddit,” realizing that despite its promise it had been made useless. I have better things to do with my time, and other ways of getting information.
If I am going to “sit around chatting,” there had better be beer involved. 🍺 (And I will ignore the “sports TVs” mounted everywhere in the bar.)
I also maintain “healthy skepticism bordering on suspicion.” I do not believe everything that I hear. If you try to become confrontational, I will smile and say, “how very interesting,” and walk away. If you “want to get a rise out of me,” you picked the wrong target. 🤷♂️
Don’t you consider The Conservative Treehouse to be social media? I do.
It’s not just Twitter.
Rush used to play clips from MSM talking heads all saying basically the same things.
They are ALL IN ON IT.
All mainstream media outlet content- the broadcast networks, cable, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, etc.- are coordinated through the GEC at State. Folks used to laugh about Journ-O-List, but it was real.
The U.S. Department of State has been a nest of commie wannabees since…forever.
The real question remains- What is to be done about all this treason and lawlessness?
I don’t remember when Rush first played those clips, but the ‘Gravitas’ clips during the 2000 campaign sure cut through all the media bs.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. They all read the same script. They were all too stupid to read and interpret, they read word for word. How stupid.
I repeat – The Drama of the inventor of email…../s
It wasn’t too long ago that Sundance asked a very simple yet profound question about our personal experiences from Covid; not so much the disease itself; but the reactions/conflicts/support from those around us.
Zerohedge has an article that showcases someone that asked a similar question. Most of the answers are just as tragic from a personal standpoint.
The Political Became Very Personal | ZeroHedge
Their answers remind me of Luke 12:51-53
51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
I think this goes to show that you can’t pick your family but you can pick your friends.
Friends and Family that stick with you through tough times, especially when you didn’t deserve it, are invaluable.
A key concept in Luke 12 is that the only relationship that we have the power to unilaterally break is with God. In short, unlike other relationships, he will always welcome our return should ‘we’ break it.
That’s a brilliant scripture that is largely not what you might want to hear, but it’s true. When you go in a certain direction to follow the Truth, you will have issues with others who do not agree with your path. Yes, it’s tragic and we see this as a test of our faith.
The stories that are listed in the ZeroHedge story are really aweful. I had a similar experience of losing tons of money that I’ll never recover and it’s very dire right now.
But, I just accept it as part of God’s plan for us to endure. He never said it would be easy. He just said to follow his lead. That’s not always easy either.

To confirm my earlier posting: “The Department of Defense cannot defend anything.”
Monday, February 6, 2023, at 11:30 AM local time, an unauthorized intruder breached security at Joint Base Andrews. This is supposed to be the highly secure home of Air Force One, Marine One and other special Air Force aircraft. The individual gained access to a base housing area where he was shot by a resident there.
This was NOT THE FIRST TIME someone breached security at Andrews. In 2021, a person got onto the base, got through a gate at the flight line and boarded a C-40 (Boeing 737) on the flight line.
The DOD sucks nearly a trillion dollars a year out of the U.S. economy and can’t prevent access to one of the most sensitive air force bases in the world.
America pays more than 400 generals and admirals to defend the country. This worthless, overpaid brass supervises an incompetent military failing at the most basic level.
Cut this massive Pentagon budget and stop promoting officers inside our out-of-control military.

Does anyone else find it beyond bizarre that FoxNews.com has no information at all about the earthquake in Turkey? I just scrolled down the page. Not a single story. Meanwhile, it is the lead story on the websites of NY Times, Wash Post, and CNN. I have been checking FoxNews.com for the past three days. The website had a story right after the quake, then went completely dark on the subject. There was nothing posted about it yesterday, either. I just find this extremely strange. Is FoxNews (i.e. Paul Ryan) anti-Turkey? If so, would the company go so far as to freeze out any coverage of a massive tragedy in Turkey? What the heck is going on? I don’t watch Fox News on TV anymore. (Actually, we cancelled our cable altogether and haven’t missed it.) So I don’t know whether they’re covering the story on air. But they’ve definitely got a black out on their website.
I just did a quick search and they have 9 stories in that page of results.
They fall under the category of WORLD:
https://www.foxnews.com/world
And also under DISASTERS sub-category:
https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/disasters
Go back and look at the home page of FoxNews.com. You might be able to find stories if you do a search, but you sure as heck can’t find them otherwise.
Stories in sub-menus are only a mouse click or two away; if you do a search. It works like this at virtually any website for any subject.
Home page – sub page – story…
File room – file cabinet – file…

Their front page is populated with stories that people click on the most.
Sorry, can’t fault Foxnews.com on this one. The stories are there.
Do You Believe In Science?
Karl Denninger
Excerpted:
You do, right?
If so you recognize the hierarchy of evidence when it comes to poorly-understood subjects.
The hierarchy looks like this, from worst to best:
[best]
Meta-analysis of many random controlled trials of either of the above — These are the best evidence, particularly when they debunk a claim. Again, the reason they’re only dispositive when they disprove a claim is that typically there is a financial interest among the trial operators in success, so if you find “success” its questionable. But if you find no success that you can accept as fact, as the bias was running the other way.

If you ‘Believe in Science’, you are not doing it right.
You are not doing Religion right either.
Do You Believe In Science?

Cochrane runs these sorts of meta-analysis as their primary line of work. They do God’s work in this regard in that they debunk a lot of what was otherwise accepted, and every one of those instances is very valid. Anyone arguing against a debunked position they have analyzed has an enormous burden of proof before them.
Well, here we are with masks. And not just any masks — all masks, including N95s.
“We included 12 trials (10 cluster4;RCTs) comparing medical/surgical masks versus no masks to prevent the spread of viral respiratory illness (two trials with healthcare workers and 10 in the community). Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza4;like illness (ILI)/COVID4;19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate4;certainty evidence. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory4;confirmed influenza/SARS4;CoV4;2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate4;certainty evidence).”
In short: They don’t work, and the meta-analysis was against RCTs, which are two up the chain, not one because its obvious if you’re wearing a mask or not.
Nonetheless this is conclusive.
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=248044
See that everybody? CONCLUSIVE.
