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.

ICYMI President Trump is doing his first interview after the fake arrest on Tuesday night with Tucker.
Oh NOOOOOOS! The poor judge and DA are REALLY going to be threatened now. Trump is sure to say something “mean” (you know, truthful) about them.
Allow me to go ahead and “Thunberg” it: How DARE he!
SPIT!

The Only Way to Restore the Norms Is to Finish Them Off

He’s right. I’m glad to see the Tennessee GOP figuring this out and expelling those lawmakers. Let the left shriek. We don’t operate under rule of law anymore, and a majority of the population wanted it that way. Fine. We need to keep going after them until they decide maybe rule of law is a better system.
Three broke the rules but only two expelled. And the one who was allowed to stay was the white woman. Extremely bad optics. Yes, optics are important. All three should have been expelled. TN GOP just played right into the race card.
These events are going to increase. Any, ANY group that hasn’t gamed out their responses will run right into that wall.
We need to forget about the “race” card and just do the right thing.
Race is never overlooked. Unless you are blind. Doesn’t have to be either bad or good, but it’s just a fact of life. And the right thing would have been to chuck out that third person.
And not because of her race, but because she’s as guilty as the other two!
Bad optics? Too bad. We are tired of being afraid of “bad optics” when it is the correct optics. For too long they have been getting off for bad behavior for hiding behind the “race card”
even you seem to be afraid to call it out after all of this. Stand up
I’m standing. Be the fool. The correct optic was to chuck out the white woman, not because she was white but because she was as guilty as the other two!
Are our AG’s and DC polls gonna do anything….my experience is the only time they move is when the blowback from us becomes deafening.
One mistaken assumption….”They” will back down at some point…but naw …they are gonna fight till the death of them or our country/us.

Trump’s Latest Endorsement Comes From a Particularly Interesting Place
Former and potentially future President Donald Trump has been bringing in the endorsements, even and including after the unprecedented indictment against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. On Thursday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) released a statement sharing that he was endorsing Trump. An excerpt of the statement, as well as a link to it in its entirety, is currently the pinned tweet on Donalds’ personal account.
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2023/04/06/trumps-latest-endorsement-comes-from-a-particularly-interesting-place-n2621653
He is a very smart guy and I think he realizes it is going to take Trump to pull us out of this shit show. He will bring manufacturing back and make us an energy exporter again. We can still be the strongest country in the world if we get democrats out of office.
Replacement for Desantis.
I like Rep Donalds also. I have seen him on OAN several times and he’s black but he’s pure MAGA!
Can someone here explain to me how there will ever be fair elections again?
Beat the Dems at their own ballot harvesting game. Then it gets banned immediately.
That said, we’re talking about something that requires a vast amount of people, coordination, logistics and money. So…
The Dems will be onto something else by then….and the republicansonce again will be trying to play catchup…but they are running outta time
Or they will just manufacture enough fake ballots to win no matter how many we harvest. If the courts don’t rule fairly in AZ it’s over…..unless we try civil disobedience.
ballot harvesting is the technique of 3-4 “election” cycles ago – they’ll have new ones and they learn every time we whine about their methods but do nothing to stop it.
furthermore, this presumes that they are just clever and not committing fraud. this is a false premise.
My faith in President Trump is unshakable.
For any in doubt read is thoughts on revenge.
Millions will be engaged in doing a lot more than just voting.
“ Faith, but faith without works is dead” or something like that.
You’re misplacing your faith, Dekester.
to be clear, i’ve no doubt whatsoever that he will WIN the ELECTION. he has already done so twice.
the point, however, as we now know, is who “wins” the “election,” who is installed, and who consents to be governed by it.
And stuff boxes till they overflow. What would happen if the vote/ballot counting totaled 500 million! Maybe then the court system would realize something was fishy.
The courts already know….corruption or fear rules the courts.
If inhouse security surveillance systems should happen to film you filling out your ballot choices inside a voter’s home in majority mail in ballot Commie States there is an opportunity for instant canvassing!
“Beat the Dems at their own ballot harvesting game.” ok, that’s a solution, now where is the actionable plan to achieve it? We have no shortage of ideas, good ideas, but I have yet to see a practical, doable plan. That requires leadership and participants. There is no way that I can see that even if we had the manpower. There is no way we would get within 100 feet of ballot boxes. Reminder: We were banned from the polls in 2020 or at best, kept in the distance.
You will never beat them at this game. You need to end it with limited mail in ballots, voter ID, paper ballots and one day voting. Also voter rolls need to be reviewed and phony voters deleted. you cannot compete with decades of voter experience.
…the beginning…
Shasta County, California voted to go with verfiable hand counting of verified paper ballots….
( no unverified black box counter, machine)
How and why did the beginning, begin…?
That’s a 66% Republican county.
Good luck doing that in PA/MI/WI/AZ/GA.
Local politics matter! There’s a reason the Democrats spend millions on local races such as the state SC race in Wisconsin. State and county races for judges, county commissioners and school board positions are a big deal and our side puts little effort into winning them. The Democrats know if you win local races it gives you access to money, and control of the voting apparatus for cities, counties and states.
And probably NC. 👍
Perhaps but need more information to see if it is in conflict with other initiatives in NC like deadline is election day.
Good luck getting that in Florida! We voters are on the pay-no-mind list!
That’s awesome Gymcy81! Well done!
Are there any local news articles about this that you can share? I am very interested in understanding this process better.
Thanks in advance!

Gymcy81- Just my opinion, but see the Cali SoS as a brick wall here so folks need to be prepared to fight it. Even if they tie it up in litigation, the attention of the fight might scare them away from pulling a fast one in your county as they risk criminal exposure so the defacto election result would still be more credible than if Shasta is forced to use machines. Remember what SD said- sunlight is an important part of the solution.
“…The three supervisors, Jones, Kevin Crye and Chris Kelstrom, ignored Menoher’s suggestion and eventually voted to have the elections department develop a process for hand-counting ballots. That process would need to be approved by the California Secretary of State’s Office and make accommodations for people with disabilities, according to Jones.”

first we need to realize that elections have selectively been stolen for decades
not going to stop any time soon
one solution: we cut off their money supply
don’t purchase from the ones financially supporting our enemies
“first we need to realize that elections have selectively been stolen for decades” Perfect statement, Amjean. And if you look back for the last 20 years, since the rise of the machines, it becomes pretty apparent which ones, all the way down to the local level.
Keep asking. It makes people think.
Good post. 👀
Fair Elections — some updates on what’s happening
>>Wisconsin got a lot of attention for the Supreme Court Justice loss to woke activist. But we had a win Tuesday too. A special election for State Senator put a MAGA in the Senate AND gave the Senate a supermajority. This gives them to power to impeach government officials including the governor.
Get this –discussions are already happening about impeaching the newly elected radical judge.
>>Cleaning Voter Rolls Removes a Major Cheat Slush Fund:
Dems rely on phantom votes (dirty voter rolls) to bump their candidates by 3% to 15% per election.
Cleaning dirty voter is one of the most effective things we can do. Omega4America is one of many efforts, their fractal program (funded by Mike Lindell) gives them an edge in identifying phantom voters. AuditNY, Omega4America are some ..I’ll start to compile a list by state with website/contact info for anyone who feels they want to do something to help.
Court cases –55 active court cases right now fighting use of machines according to Mike Lindell.
State Legislatures
— NC legislature is moving forward an important election intregrity bill with the help of a rep who just switched parties from Dem to Republican.
–TX ready to vote on 5 election integrity bills.
I’ll try to track and report as am able on state legislature actions, esp where our phone/email may help.
Some counties around the country have recently gone back to paper ballots.
Other CTH commenters have also been updating us on election integrity measures and updates.
Just a note — Omega4America had 5000 volunteers as of a few wks ago and I believe AuditNY has 1500. Think what progress could be made in the next 18 months if all these efforts had 500,000 volunteers!
Thank you sunrei. NC voter rolls were already cleaned (after a decade at least) right before 2022 midterms from a lawsuit from Judicial Watch and reported by Tom Fitton.
Actually, NC voter rolls are examined and cleaned up every January in odd years after elections. This year in January 246,556 voter registrations were expunged from the record. That’s actually a pretty low number compared to 2021 and 2017 after the 2020 and 2016 elections.
And NC updates the voter registration data on a weekly basis that is open to the public. You can also search for previous voter registration data going back to 2004.

Thank you for the positive news.
To be, or not to be, that is the question!
Our public school systems has been largely taken over by communists that have been trained at institutes of “higher” learning called university/college campuses. The children being pumped out of these systems are the ones who end up voting for some of these laws with ideas that are so far removed from our Constitution. That’s because the schools are so busy teaching kids about everything BUT civics. This is deliberate and as far as I’ve seen, pretty successful. I’ve seen first hand what this ideology does to, as Rush used to say, young skulls full of mush.
It’s a real uphill battle and it’s not just about elections.
The Media,education and election systems need to all be destroyed
This desperately needs to be addressed. One of the most important areas that we need to fix asap.
The only way (I can see) is a parallel system. It’s highly unlikely that we’ll be able to “destroy” the education system in this country – it is far too corrupt and will protect itself. The only way I see through this is to use a parallel system to thwart the indoctrination centers. Those of us conservatives haven’t been able to make much inroads into school vouchers throughout the nation and our children can’t wait. Either homeschool or pay for private (legitimate) education. It has to be a major sacrifice on the part of new parents – get. your. children. out. of. public. schools.
Agree 100%, but even the private schools will need a close look to ensure they are not taking pages out of the public school system. I predict in the near future the blue states will be enacting laws that prohibit homeschooling. Forewarned is forearmed.
There were never fair elections even with paper ballots, but we need paper ballots to have more control over our elections.
It is absolute insanity to rely on machines that can connect to the internet to count votes for anything much less a national election. This act alone is criminal.
Any machine that has this capability should investigated for fraud and immediately banned from all future elections. Paper is best though.
Sorry but nope.

Did France’s little Napoleon really believe he could rein in Moscow’s bloodsoaked ally? Macron’s trip to China was almost as embarrassing as his efforts to stop Putin invading Ukraine, writes JONATHAN MILLER
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11947527/Did-Frances-little-Napoleon-really-believe-rein-Moscows-bloodsoaked-ally.html
All those protests in his country against him and there he stands. Still in power. France had better get more adept at voting because he isn’t leaving on his own. Either that or completely shut down that nation and cut off the govt. from any tax dollars. Protests are not working when the bad guys refuse to leave.
Who’s to say he did actually win? Don’t we have the same issue in the US?
Yes. But he’s still there. So if the voting is cheat prone, then do other things. Protests there are not seeming to be enough.
In france they defaced Lepen’s paper ballots rendering them uncountable
They have been yellow vesting for years to no effect.
The comparison is an egregious insult to Napoleon.
I’m sure everyone is shocked that the democrats are blaming Trump for Biden’s F’ed-up withdrawal from Kabul.
We have a mentally ill criminal squatting in the oval office.
Word is, they’ll have a new Easter Bunny this year at the white house Easter egg hunt, one trained specifically in leading Joe away from the crowds where he might go off script.
Pathetic.
BREAKING NEWS: White House Blames Trump for Poop in Biden’s Pants.
I stole this from another poster yesterday.
🤗
To be fair, the thought of Donald Trump regaining the Presidency is a Depends moment for most of the corrupt swamp dwellers. 🙂
They rolled out this b.s. because of PT ‘s surging poll numbers. But you can’t keep saying the withdrawal was fine ( as they have been) then do this flip flop creditable. Everyone knows that if PT was in charge, Americans and equipment would not have been left behind … nor would the air base have been abandoned.
The everyday onslaught on freedom and the republicans are consistently silent. How could anyone vote for these a-holes.
Unfortunately, they are completely different when running for office and then turn into swamp creatures the minute they get to DC. Maybe we should start pre campaigns now with candidates we choose. Not legal to run actual campaigns before deadlines, I’m sure, but that doesn’t prevent the ones we want from getting out and about in their home districts and making their name well known well before election season starts officially. Find good people and promote them now.
Third party fixes that. 👀
we don’t vote for them. its an unelected oligarchy. we consent by continuing to participate and obey – thats the problem.
Primary 95% of the Republican’ts in office!
Violent crime around the country goes without arrest or in rare instances of arrest are converted into violations that may carry a fine that is waived.
In the meantime, our justice system presses felony charges against President Trump with flimsy rational. And the FIB/DOJ continue jailing Jan 6 protestors, 2 and a half years later. The attack against us is clear and accelerating, avoidance of this truth is dangerous. The attacks will become more severe as the current ones go undeterred and unpunished. The state has seen just how much they are allowed to get away with. Death squads are not that far away. Call this another conspiracy theory that will turn out true.

bjork, I have searched high and low for the bull pic on the internet. No luck. I also spent much time trying to remember when you posted it and searched CTH. COULD I beg you to post it again? I am trying to identify the breed and a possible genetic trait. TYVM

be well
I don’t think that’s Ferdinand.
bjork,
thank you. BUT. I feel dreadful. Not the right bull. I need the feet to show. The other bull did not have hooves…..but had three “toes”. That is what caught my eye and genetic interest.
Wow. Just wow. Thank you.

Pointing out their actual source of money is like using the third “wrong” pronoun. Very triggering.😂😂😂
I’m not usually watching Tucker but caught it last night and he was making fun of NPR.
Just flat out making fun of them.
It was hilarious. And eye opening.
Probably the most disgusting thing in all of this crap is that my hard earned tax dollars are paying for every single part of this bull woke government.

“Biden thanked Macron for welcoming more than 100,000 Ukrainian refugees into his country. “
https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3233683/us-french-presidents-state-support-for-ukraine-global-security/
It’s the same thing here, some politician such as Paul Ryan will tell the citizenry some hard facts about Medicare or Social Security, but then turn around and give away our tax dollars to some other country or non-citizens in this country.
Then Americans get criticized as not having “earned” their Social Security.
“Not earned” thats because they paid us 0% on the money we sent in and bitch when they have to pay out more when we live longer.
The scoop on RFK, Jr. for those who want to do some due diligence.
https://healthimpactnews.com/2023/another-former-associate-with-jeffrey-epstein-files-to-run-for-u-s-president-in-2024/
The article hits PTrump right away and insinuates he was an ‘associate’ of Epstein too. A good guess is many or most very wealthy people knew or were in social situations with Jeffrey Epstein. He traveled in those circles for years. Does that mean every one of or most of them were perverted scum? We know PTrump wasn’t running with Epstein’s perversions, yet this author alludes to that as he just might have been by the phrasing he uses. Typical media spin out on Trump.
Not sure your point with this article. It slams Trump and Kennedy with insinuations galore. Kennedy has a dicey past and it was all documented. No secrets there and it will be used against him. Not news at all. The tone though, of this author is pretty obvious to understand. He is also wrong on Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, says only Covid concerned Kennedy, and possibly Gardisil, which is false. RFK has taken on many vaccine issues not just those two. The whole article is slanted by distorted facts and is suspiciously a hit piece that sounds almost like it could have been written by Anthony Fauci himself who is an old enemy of Kennedy’s anti vaccine work.
That site you are copying the link from has some highly questionable and unsubstantiated sources, so what is its real motive? Who is really pushing the negatives on Trump and Kennedy here? Beware your sources. Might not be what you think.
Most people are smart enough to think for themselves and figure it out. I did when I read it.
A lot of people are so politically stubborn (both conservatives and leftists) that any article has to be 100% aligned with them otherwise the entire content of the article has to be discarded else they be thoroughly offended. If people discard content as a whole because it has to be 100% pure, they’re gonna miss out on a lot of otherwise good information.
Well everyone conveniently forgot about this guy’s past because he was outspoken against the Covid vaccine.
I knew all along about this guy and his crazy past by reading about it, the suicide of his ex-wife was all over the news, along with his drug issues and infidelities, so I couldn’t understand how people could all of a sudden elevate this creep’s credibility and reputation because of his rantings over the Covid vaccine.
It is one thing to believe his comments against the vaccine because he was exposing the corrupt relationship between pharmaceutical companies and the government-I applaud this- but to somehow forget his shady past, and to elevate this guy’s reputation because of it is insane. This Kennedy has always been a little bit of a quack. He’s never met a vaccine that he likes even though some have saved countless lives. He’s pushed the Autism link for years in association with the vaccines but with very little evidence or proof to back it up. Maybe he will be proven right-I will applaud his exposure.
I agree with your comment that we shouldn’t discard information that doesn’t align with our politics, but this article sure fails in what we should all be interested in and that is the truth. Some articles are just so bad that everything should be discarded.
Just because your name is listed in a black book doesn’t mean you were blackmailed and compromised, and we all know now that this was Epstein’s main purpose. But he ran in these circles, people of importance with money so having your name listed doesn’t really mean much without further evidence. If we had any real journalists today they would most likely find this guy connected with our intelligence agencies, but sadly we don’t and will probably never know any more.
And if Trump were blackmailed by Epstein then he sure isn’t cooperating with the laws of blackmail.
Agree about Trump, but if this stuff was in RFK Jr’s diary, it was in his diary. Also, I doubt the author of that book would have gotten away with what he said if it weren’t true. He would have been sued. I don’t think any candidate is squeaky clean, but there are some things that point to a bad character and those can’t be ignored. I am anti Covid vax, but I think some vaccines are necessary. Anybody who tosses vaccines for polio, measles, etc. is on dangerous ground.
I didn’t say it wasn’t true about RFK. There’s plenty of not so nice stuff in his and his family’s history. This article is slanted however in ways that are suspicious. The article insinuates many things that might not be true however.
Epstein and Maxwell made a point of socializing with and being seen with famous and influential people.
Many celebrities attended parties at Epstein’s because that’s what socialites do, they socialize. Also even people with money like free food.
Thank you for sharing that….it needs to go viral! One thing is for sure…marital infidelity and alcoholism, seems to be a problem within the family. Not to mention ‘people dying’?
This article needs to be preserved!
My spidy sense told me that after a day or so…he was “too good to be true”.
None of that info on RFK is new. It’s all been in the public eye for years. Did you not get the slanted intent of how that author treated both PTrump and RFK? Highly suspicious who actually is behind that writing. Be careful who you draw conclusions from.
If only the media would talk about Bidens infidelity resulting in his wifes death and how he showers with his young daughter. Just for starters
The suspicious auto accident in which a few family members perished? Does anyone believe its an accident? Asking for a friend….
If these people would allow that to happen and other stuff…to those who were once loved ones…there is no depth to which the cold hearts would sink.
Just take a gander at the Clintons background associations and story. Horror story more like it. They get a pass too because nobody goes after them.
Some of it, I had been aware of…and I do tend to ‘react’ first then get my thinking cap on, later…and you are so very right about ‘who wrote’ it. years ago, I had read a book about the ladies of Camelot. It was not favorable towards the men of the family. But they all came out smelling like roses.
Later on, I did find info showing that Teddy had been a Knight of Malta, which seems to have been scrubbed.
At the end of the day…John Adams was right about out Constitution and government being for a moral and religious people.
I agree with you.
And there’s this:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/09/crackpot-rfk-jr-jail-energy-ceos-in-hague-for-treason-punish-climate-deniers-video/
Environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lamented that there were no current laws on the books to punish global warming skeptics. . “I wish there were a law you could punish them with. I don’t think there is a law that you can punish those politicians under,” Kennedy told Climate Depot in a one-on-one interview during the People’s Climate March. The interiew was conducted for the upcoming documentary Climate Hustle.
Kennedy Jr. accused skeptical politicians of “selling out the public trust.” “Those guys are doing the Koch Brothers bidding and are against all the evidence of the rational mind, saying global warming does not exit. They are contemptible human beings. I wish there were a law you could punish them with. I don’t think there is a law that you can punish those politicians under.”
Kennedy saved his most venomous comments for the Koch Brothers, accusing them of “treason” for “polluting our atmosphere.”
“I think it’s treason. Do I think the Koch Brothers are treasonous, yes I do,” Kennedy explained.
“They are enjoying making themselves billionaires by impoverishing the rest of us. Do I think they should be in jail, I think they should be enjoying three hots and a cot at the Hague with all the other war criminals,” Kennedy declared.
“Do I think the Koch brothers should be tried for reckless endangerment? Absolutely, that is a criminal offence and they ought to be serving time for it,” he added.
Kennedy previously called for jailing his political opponents. Kennedy Jr. lashed out at skeptics of 2007 declaring “This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors” In 2009, RFK, Jr. also called coal companies “criminal enterprises” and declared CEO’s ‘should be in jail… for all of eternity.”
******
I’m not sure he still holds such extreme beliefs, but I think he still believes in the global warming/climate change hoax. I was hoping that maybe after seeing that it was part of the Great Reset part against humanity, he would re-evaluate his position in light of new information, but I don’t think he has and I think that says something. I know that Professor Mark Crispin Miller, who used to believe in the climate change/global warming scam has since changed his position, and has even questioned whether weather weapons have caused some of the extreme weather events (e.g. suspicious CA fires) that are used to promote the climate change hysteria. I see that as intellectual integrity–someone who is open to new information and willing to change his/her position in light of new evidence. I don’t see that with Kennedy.
RFK is just another

Hard NO
Was reading a comment somewhere (can’t remember where so unable to give attribution) that hit a spot, the person commenting made the point that it will be interesting to watch today’s Democrat party completely destroy the last vestiges of their beloved Camelot dreams when they tear into RFK, Jr.
I think that’s what’s going to happen too. Might even wake up some of those old blue collar democrats that Reagan was able to reign in.
Kennedy will be the splitter pulling votes from Dementia Joe. Watch for Killary to throw her hat in the ring and get the nomination. Just a hunch.
I do not believe Dementia Joe will run for re-election. The fact that he is unable to go to the King’s coronation says a lot.
He’s heavily anti 2nd amendment gun rights also.
The Kennedys are not highly intelligent people. RFK Jr. doesn’t have the capability of critically analyzing and understanding climate research, which is math heavy. So I’ve never put any stock in his position on that issue. I didn’t on vaccines either until covid came along. He’s right on that, and maybe he’s right on other vaccines too, I don’t know, but I can’t take his word for it because I don’t think he has the ability to analyze that kind of information.
Add to that the brain-destroying effects of drug use. I doubt any Kennedy can be trusted.
He is a leftwing liberal. That’s all you need to know.
Give me a break! Do you not think that if President Trump was involved with Epstein that it would be front page and out all across the country by now. Before he even became president they searched the world over to find anything they could to use against him. They ended up having to make things up!
You want to solve the cheating in elections? Elect President Trump in 2024. Might need 90 to 100 million votes. He keeps his promises and said that he would put paper ballots in across America. Problem solved!
RFK is a cricket eating climatard!
RFK Jr. Is a Wagyu beef tartare and caviar eating Greeniac, who wants us to eat crickets out of a catbox!
Fed’s Balance Sheet Plunges by $101 Billion in Two Weeks, as QT Continues and Bank Liquidity Support Begins to Unwind

Botched FBI, Army Special Ops Training Raid Captures Unsuspecting Hotel Guest
Army special operations forces and FBI personnel raided the wrong room at a hotel in Boston, cuffing and interrogating an innocent man.
APR 6, 2023
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/botched-fbi-army-special-ops-training-raid-captures-unsuspecting-hotel-guest
A joint training exercise gone wrong left an innocent man in handcuffs in the bathroom of a hotel in Boston earlier this week. The practice raid, carried out by the members of the FBI and U.S. Army special operations forces personnel was supposed to involve the mock capture of a role player, but they barged into the wrong room and interrogated an unsuspecting guest.
its just a few bad apples, the rest are fine….
I think I noticed that Hannity is no longer wearing his FBI pin. Am I correct?
He is swapping it out for a 🦗 pin
Hannity should join Warmongers Anonymous.
I read that the “unsuspecting guest” was a Delta Airlines employee.
I think they just interrogated a soon-to-be wealthy man.

Golly… that was explosive… breaking news.

Old Owl Gore, what a pig, literally. You hear the liberal ninnies scream :”But his hearts in the right place”. Yeah, right in the the devils ruck-sac used to sell the evil ones fraud, glo-“bull”- warming.
A gallows poll somewhere is screaming for a tyrant, however it would have to be stout one for this pig.
Have you been to the public library recently and looked at the books in the teen section? It seems that 50% of the titles in my library are all about “coming out” or “being gay”, or “boy meets boy”, etc. Another 48% are depressing titles like (I’m making these up, but they capture the essence) “Death on my Doorstep”, “Suicide Pact”, “The Haunting”. About 2% are actually useful books.
The other thing I’ve noted is that my closest library, in county A (I live right on the county line, in county B), has fewer than 10 biographies about people who died before 2000. Their US history section consists of about 30 books, mostly civil rights era. The next closest library, in county B, has an entire wall of biographies, that is to say, at least 1000 books, and at least 50% of these are about names you recognize in history books. They also have about 200 books on US history.
I don’t know how many books actually get checked out at libraries anymore, but it’d be nice to know that reading teens have a choice of good materials. What with Amazon closing down the Book Depository, it seems more important than ever.
Years ago a friend told me that when companies and organizations hire someone gay, that snowballs into hiring more until the entire company is being controlled by like minded, like sexual preference people. This has clearly happened in the unelected buerocrat work force in DC. It’s certainly not just entertainment industry anymore. I am not anti gay at all but I am a realist and gay’s see this as payback. Strength in numbers gives them what they insist they deserve. Unfortunately, this behavior on display is going to set them back and the good folks that are gay will suffer.
Policing too…they some departments reall do have have a Muffia.
😉
I used to love the library.
Me too. They went woke.
Not just in the teen section. They are going for younger kids than that. Our local library is a cesspool of leftist propaganda of all kinds. I was looking for biographies of famous American historical figures and all they had was Obama, Ruth Ginsberg, Kamala Harris, and MLK.
If you haven’t been to your local library lately then you are in for a shock when you do. And the kicker is your tax dollars are paying for the books!
This is very sick.
I would not be suprised to learn such a hotline was serving to identify potential shooters for grooming.
They pretend to care about children – but they only care about exploiting and despoiling their minds and innocence.
More B/S
Tough to change political genetics. He comes from treasonous dems and remains so himself despite the seasonal coat change that he uses for increased revenue.
He is from the same band as Pence.
You would think that given what happened to his father and uncle, he would not trust the mainstream media narratives and be one to question everything from the media, but instead he echoes it. He knows the government is tyrannical (the CIA did kill his father and brother), yet apparently sees no reason for the citizens to be armed??
i really don’t get anyone’s excitement just because he drones on about vaxes.
further evidence that single issue voting is always going to be a losing proposition.
Yeah, he believes whatever narrative the media gives him. I think he still believes in the global warming/climate change hoax, even though it’s clearly part of the oligarchy’s Great Reset plot to build a control grid around humanity.
Not new. Check the date. We heard it when he said it. He is a liberal. Has been a Dem forever. It’s his birthright. He has the faults of the Kennedy’s, womanizer, drugs, ugly politics. He never can be anything else but a Kennedy. That should cover all the bases on him now. According to the info he has no redeeming qualities and can never do anything good. He’s a human. We get it.
Stick to Covid…
See my comment below on “blame guns, not the lunatic” as an effort to abrogate the Second Amendment.
let him have it. the NRA is a sellout of the 2A.
RFK JR, most people have agreed with you on NO JABS…..but trying for a shot at the White House, going after the NRA and the guns of American Citizens, do yourself ad save your money. The the people see right you. The Kennedy dynasty is gone.
And just when I was starting to like him . . . .
I think we are all deluding ourselves if we think the Ruling Class will allow Trump back in the White House.
The Gathering Storm–American Greatness
The more crap operations they use against him, the more they expose themselves to the less informed, the more they harden the moderately informed and the more they plant the seed of simmering hatred from the properly informed.
Perhaps, but its obvious they don’t see it that way
Exactly. 40+% still approve of the senile pervert Manchurian Candidate puppet currently occupying the White House.
On one of his recent podcasts, Scott Adams points out the realization that would come from the dose of reality when talking to the person behind you also waiting two hours to vote and discovering they are your typical, easily propagandized low information voter. You are waiting hours to have your vote cancelled out by the idiot in line behind you.
Too many people on sites like this assume that a significant number of their fellow citizens are even slightly knowledgeable about what is actually going on. THEY AREN’T. They vote their pocketbooks and will only revolt when their games and circuses are taken away at which point, since they are propagandized, those 40% with police state help will make sure that any revolt takes a wrong turn.
How else do you think we’ve gotten here?
I agree. Yes, there is a lot of cheating in elections, but the fact that anybody voted for Joe shows just how far this country has fallen. There are certain groups that will vote Democrat no matter who (or even what?) is on the ballot. Everybody wants their “free stuff”.
Positive note…there is an up and coming alternative media …..but the left right uniparty will try and heavily censor the internet. The Media has to be taken down. Something must put fear into them where it is no longer attractive to spout lies. Fear is the tool that is needed against the left….let your imagination run wild as to how that happens.
totally agree there, but i think its beside the point that many keep making.
you could have 90% of our former republic “awake” and voting and, in the absence of acting on that awakening to ensure their will is done, he will still never be allowed into the WH again. the Davosians will, quite literally, burn the entire country to the ground before it happens. but they know they won’t have to, because they have tested their limits on one red line after another, and the people did nothing.
Remember, it is us (MAGA) that “they” want to destroy and Trump is the only one standing in their way.
The Restrict Act, the 87,000 new IRS armed agents etc., all intended to come after us (MAGA) once they get Trump out of the way. Making J6 the largest prosecutorial effort in American history has the purpose of intimidation to quell any “patriot uprisings”
They are trampling President Trump’s constitutional rights in their investigations. One would hope the SCOTUS would come to the rescue and save the nation. I have my doubts. Pray Hard!
The one thing we should do is crowd fund 100 million dollars to appeal the most egregious j6 prosecutions, like the Proud Boys, so DOJ can’t get away with a seditious conspiracy conviction on the books.
No, unfortunately, most people are fine with what they are doing to him. A huge majority supports the indictment even though 76% of the public thinks it is political. They wouldn’t be as open and brazen if they didn’t think it would benefit them. The average older voter just doesn’t understand how much of a factor Gen Z and millennials are now and how they favor all of the craziness that’s happened in the last few years. Anyone who thinks Gen Z and suburban women want rule of law is delusional. They instead want the government to go after people they don’t like.
From the link above:
“Smith’s multipronged investigation…by far represents the most dangerous legal threat Trump has ever faced.
Working with a limitless budget, no media scrutiny, zero congressional oversight, compliant federal judges, and abundant case law providing a clear pathway to multiple felony charges related to January 6, Smith is in the driver’s seat. And he knows it.
A D.C. grand jury likely will indict Trump on multiple counts for his key role in the events of January 6. Grand juries are composed of the same voters who sit on regular juries—and that is terrible news for Trump. Washington, D.C., is the most heavily Democratic city in the country…
… The Justice Department has a near-perfect conviction rate for January 6 defendants; judges refuse to move trials out of D.C. despite overwhelming proof Trump supporters cannot receive a fair trial in the nation’s capital.
When he is indicted, Trump will confront the same legal and judicial circle of hell that has destroyed the lives of hundreds of Americans and counting….
…there is a chance Smith will request, and a judge will grant, pretrial detention for the former president.
…none of the facts matter. Trump will be treated no differently in the banana republic-like atmosphere in the D.C. federal courthouse.
…Decent Americans still want to believe this can’t, and won’t, happen. But it is a near-certainty for which the country, flat-footed Republican leaders in particular, must prepare. …”

This is why we need to push on these two matters:
1) Pressure McCarthy to release all 42000 tapes DIRECTLY to the public, no middlemen.
2) Pressure MTG and McCarthy to defund the special counsel via the Holman Rule, amendment to the upcoming budget. MTG told us she would get this done and that McCarthy was agreeable. Months later, we need to power on the phones emails.
100% agree … A few days ago Sundance asked what would have him do – this !!!
I am certain that you are correct and that this is what the NYC indictment was really all about. A trial balloon to see the public reaction. Since there was no France type riots, the leftists feel they can proceed to step 2 which is the DC indictment and federal charges.
That was a totally depressing /totally sad article to read – like the 6 circles of Hell or whatever – don’t know what to think …. So depressing , just so sad ….
It’s intended to make us give up. 99.9% of the mainstream media is a lying stinking pile of gaslighting.
But worse now that DeSantis operatives are in action and reportedly paying for articles and social media support most of the right wing media has begun gaslighting MAGA as well. Expect almost every single article from here to 2024, even right wing news, to gaslight MAGA to give up.
That’s one of the 4 steps of the Marxist takeover –demoralization.
We have two cards to play and we need to play them. First, remove Jack Smith’s J6 argument by getting the all the tapes released to the public and second get MTG and McCarthy to follow thru with their promise to defund the Special Counsel via the Holman Rule w the upcoming budget.
President Trump is in there resolute, moving forward. Are we going to sit on our hands or wail it’s hopeless –or do every single thing we can do. The Dems don’t sit in depression, they are a constantly moving force. We have cards to play and we need to play every last one.
Haven’t yet seen the fat lady arrive let alone heard her sing.
That is all true , although I think Julie kelly is on the level – BUT if Republicans do not successfully fight this ( a forelorn hope ? ) and PDJT is forced to face this evil Hell essentially alone -with “ let the system work” talking points from RiINOs / DeSant /Rove etc – then the Republican Party will go the way of the way of the WHIGs – and perhaps the DC uniparty doesn’t really care that much if that happens -…
Weren’t they suppose to defund the 87000 IRS agents ….the FBI and just recently Braggs office? Don’t hold your breathe.
Stations Please
Karl Denninger
But, with a bit of contemplation (no prayer required) you will recognize that right up until Station 11 the wrongs could have been righted. The crucifixion could have been halted. The people had the power; oh sure, there were armed soldiers but not many of them compared with the commonfolk and, in addition, guns hadn’t been invented yet so swords and spears it was for weaponry — easily overcome by a mob of humans.
Yes, some would have died.
Some would have died during Kristallnacht too had the Jews taken up a baseball bat and waited around a corner once the first home or business was invaded. The Germans were armed with guns but their heads would have succumbed anyway. Yes, those who did it would have been shot, but would the atrocity (and not just against the Jews either) have continued or would the Germans have figured out that well, perhaps I don’t get to go home if I’m a part of that….
Nobody can know the outcome of the “what if’s”, of course, and on Good Friday we allegedly all go through the motions of each playing their part.
Three years ago, roughly, we were coming off two weeks to slow the spread if you recall. Except that it wasn’t two weeks, was it? That was a lie, one of many told by the few and swallowed wholesale by the many, and one of the most-damaging. Just like any of the 10 Stations prior to the 11th where nails were driven the people could have said no and meant it.

Rome had a long history of putting down rebellions in territories they had earlier conquered. And it happened with nearly every territory they had conquered. Like clockwork. Rome conquers you, carries off your wealth and people. Pax Romana brings peace, stability and trade, which brings new wealth and new people are born and raised. Wealth and more people generate rebelliousness. And once again, Rome conquers you, carries off more wealth and people.
Usually that was enough. If you kept up the fighting more than that, you were wiped from the face of the earth.
The NAZIs were well practiced at demonizing those who resisted and lionizing those who fell at the hands of that resistance. They even generated more atrocity in response to such resistance.
I see such resistance to Krystal Nacht as more likely to increase the suffering of the jews than to diminish it. There were many Germans upset with that blatant atrocity, but they too had been cowed with years of brownshirts marching in the streets with the police powers and a willingness to beat up anybody who didn’t salute to their liking. And they already feared being snitched on should they complain.
Christ actually stopped the violence when He was arrested. Sounds like Denninger is arguing that He should have set himself up as the next King instead of following His Father’s Will. Without His death there would be no resurrection. And without those, we would have no salvation.
Not sure that those are the best arguments that can be made to gin up a violent revolt.
Good points.
Jesus HAD to be crucified and die on the cross in order to fulfill the prophecy, the will of God, to redeem us from our sins.
Consider the following equation: several decades ago, the Communist DEMS discovered that the mentally ill had the right to run free.
Violence by the mentally ill, especially mass shootings, increased, as did calls for restrictions on The Second Amendment.
Were there calls to re-open asylums and to make a better effort to control the mentally ill? No.
As mass shootings continued, Second Amendment Rights were restricted more and more. It would seem easy to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, but given that those with mental problems can mask their symptoms, and given the hands-off attitude perpetrated by the Communist DEMS, we still see lunatics at large, most recently in a Nashville school.
And don’t you dare call a transgender LGBTXYZ person “mentally ill” !
And now we see criminals allowed to be criminals: theft is now legal up to $1,000 in more and more big cities – run by DEMS – and according to the newest mayor of Chicago, it is well-deserved payback for WHITE RACISM against EVIL CAPITALISTS!
Murder is also on the increase as a result, with more calls to restrict The Second Amendment.
So, since gun violence by lunatics has not led to near confiscation of guns, let’s try unleashing regular criminals upon the population and – illogically! – blame guns for the increasing violence!
Because the long-term problem for the Communists is a well-armed populace ready to defend themselves against the government!
President Trump’s popularity is a short-term problem for them: the next step will be the abrogation of gun ownership by regular people.
The lunatics, the criminals, and the government agencies will still have access!
Release Lunatics + Redefine Crime + Blame Guns not the Lunatic, not the Criminal = Good-Bye 2nd Amendment = Good-Bye America.
as far as i can see, gun owners comply with every last restriction.
heck, they’re arguing over the latest illegitimate diktat from ATF that a “brace” is illegal after it was installed on 40 million guns… the irony being that the brace itself was an act of COMPLIANCE with the previous illegitimate diktat on what defines a pistol/SBR/rifle.

It wasn’t communism that let the madmen out. It was the discovery of lithium as a treatment, that made it possible for patients with scizophrenia to function normally and to live among others. There’s no reason to be nostalgic about the asylums that were torn down, they were full of misery.
Most people with psychiatric diagnoses are not dangerous, and there is no grounds to take away their freedom.
Thank you: yes, I agree: why bother placing mentally ill people who are not dangerous in asylums?
At least Gov Youngkin is taller. He’s got that going for him.
He’s got the fleece vest personna going like John Thune
Julie Kelly is remarkable, but her article, yesterday, explains his uphill battle. https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/06/the-gathering-storm/
Again, may our fierce warrior prevail.
not “his” our.
There is no other to replace him. Immediately we must push hard for release of the J6 tapes directly to the public AND also the promised (promised by MTG/McCarthy) defunding of the Special Counsel.
Pity the Child
A REVIEW OF “STOLEN YOUTH” BY KAROL MARKOWICZ AND BETHANY MANDEL
4 Apr 2023
https://www.realclearwire.com/articles/2023/04/04/pity_the_child_891624.html
Why target the children? First, as Markowicz notes in her chapter on “Child Soldiers,” because kids are useful. Put a disturbed child—say, Greta Thunberg—in front of your movement, and only the very callous will attack. That tactic is hardly new—there’s a reason we’ve long talked about “poster children”—though the woke do seem to have turned it into an art form. Second, because childhood is when we shape our beliefs and our tastes. Convince a generation that it’s fragile, off-balance, angry, victimized, and oppressed, and very few of its members will ever break out.
Stolen Youth is one of the clearest articulations yet of the woke drive to destroy American society and Western Civilization. That it’s starting with our children is hardly novel for an ideological movement. The question we must now face is whether we can alert enough adults to the danger to repel it before it is truly too late. Stolen Youth rings the alarm bells. I only hope that they’re loud enough to have the desired—and necessary—effect.

These Morons in the White House, who are systematically destroying our Country, headed up by the biggest Moron of them all, Hopeless Joe Biden, have a new disinformation game they are playing – Blame “TRUMP” for their grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan. I watched this disaster unfold just like everyone else. I saw them take out the Military FIRST, GIVE $85 Billion of military equipment, allow killing of our soldiers, and leave Americans behind. Biden is responsible, no one else!
The Bribem Blame Game is one that is a part of the Alinsky tactics. They are trying to increase polarization and attempting to make the conservatives waste time defending themselves…distraction.
Can’t physically attack? Compromise from within, just like in the U.S.
Foxconn’s Pro-China Billionaire Founder Launches Bid For Taiwan Presidency
APR 06, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/foxconns-pro-china-billionaire-founder-launches-bid-be-president-taiwan
spoiler alert: nearly half of Taiwan is already pro-China. the KMT wins regularly already.
why is this our problem?
there is only one enemy i recognize: the enemy within. we can deal with all the rest of the barbarians at the gates once we restore our republic.
90% of the world’s most advanced integrated circuit “chips” are made in Taiwan and China has wisely and effectively been prevented from acquiring that scifi tech or even the scifi tech required to even manufacture the equipment required to make those chips.
THAT is the real reason they want Taiwan.
And the simple FIX? Already supplied by a recent US Army War College paper – threaten to destroy what they’re after if they invade.
Since those HUGE manufacturing plants need to be 100o times cleaner than an operating room to work, destroying them FOR GOOD would be TRIVIAL. Just a few cruise missiles – THE END. No US boots on the ground or US aircraft anywhere close to Taiwan required. Submarine launched cruise missiles will do, as usual.
That would cause economic damage worldwide, but it would OBLITERATE the Chinese economy.
I’ve even heard one apparently very knowledgeable Congressman actually say that in a Fox interview. THIS needs to be far more widely known and OPENLY STATED.
Why isn’t it? Because the military industrial complex wants the budgets required to (unnecessarily) fight China in Taiwan.
Here’s WHY the tech has been effectively denied to the CCP: the tech being USED by Taiwan is DUTCH. The ultra-precise machines they design and produce are the size of a 20 ton truck trailer and cost $150 million EACH.
ASML Holding
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding
ASML Holding N.V. (commonly shortened to ASML, originally standing for Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography) is a Dutch multinational corporation founded in 1984. ASML specializes in the development and manufacturing of photolithography machines which are used to produce computer chips. As of 2022 it is the largest supplier for the semiconductor industry and the sole supplier in the world of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) photolithography machines used to manufacture the most advanced chips. As of 2023, ASML was the most highly valued European tech company by market capitalization with about US$270 billion.

https://www.asml.com/en/company/about-asml/asml-at-a-glance
Good points.
As I watch videos of American politicians declare we must defend Taiwan because of the chip industry, I think to myself, then let’s just move the chip industry to the US where it can be “safe”, (if that is the real reason and not the “pretend” reason).
William Gaynor: “Defending Taiwan” is another money sink for US taxpayers. American politicians are doing junkets to Taiwan to pick up donation (bribe) checks.
I am well aware what they do there – i had a chance to tour a facility earlier in my career. well… tour the perimeter – i was not allowed in. 😉
my point is that China is looking out for China’s best interests. If we had a government that did the same for us, we would not have lost our republic and our ability to build and protect such critical infrastructure. thats on US and the greedy oligarchs we keep consenting to be governed by, not on some faraway foreign power that is doing what it must to serve their people and power.
And…we could go back to cars without chips…..a small sacrifice considering.
That is true. I’ve been there and half is most probably an understatement. Most of their trade is with the mainland. Lots of mainland Chinese also visit as tourists.
The U.S. is living in a prior century.
Mord Bord: I agree. Taiwan is not doing the US any favors, although, treasonously, we moved most of our chip making to Taiwan.
GOOD!
Blinken Can’t Reschedule Trip To China After Canceling Over ‘Spy Balloon’
APR 06, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/blinken-cant-reschedule-trip-china-after-canceling-over-spy-balloon
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is looking to reschedule his trip to China that he canceled over the Chinese balloon that wound up floating over the US, but Beijing is rebuffing the effort, Politico reported Wednesday.
The Politico report said China has effectively frozen high-level contacts with US officials. An unnamed US official said that the Biden administration is also trying to schedule a call between President Biden and President Xi Jinping and send other high-level officials to China but isn’t having any luck.
Had the Great Cheat never happened, China would be BEGGING ON IT’S KNEES to speak to Pres. Trump, as he was SINGLE HANDEDLY beating China and Russia with a economically strong, Energy Exporting United States.
Then again the only thing that the Brandon Administration has wrought to the nation is weakness on every front. His failed Administration is peopled literally by a Clown show, where their only defining abilities are literally being Clowns. Expecting success from this lot is like expecting the Dead to stop voting Democrat!
Oh darn. I would pay money to watch the panda humiliate FJB.
Pay per view benefitting PDJT would work.
I think FJB and Blinken should make a trip.
Fashionable Jill could join them in a couch dress.
what will the people of Canada do about this?
Same as the wise folks are doing by selectively boycotting woke corporation’s like the Budweiser folks ( owned by Europeans I believe)
The ground swell here is enormous against the scum.
However, the leftists had a head start, and the fence sitters didn’t move until the splinters bit their sparse.
i applaud all efforts and voices, to be clear.
that said, it should be noted that our team is simply dreadful at sustained, punishing boycotts (mostly because we are not nearly as nasty human beings as the leftofascists and we don’t make everything about politics)…. at various times over the last few years alone, all of the following have been “boycotted”: NFL, NBA, Disney, AT&T, Dicks Sporting Goods, Pepsi, Nike, Black Rifle Coffee, Starbucks, Gillette, et al
What do they share in common? They’re all still around, and they’re all still making money.
Sad that this is what gets the people to move……why is this? There are much more serious issues for us to be outraged and move on it..

Oh, by the as a side note, there are more than a few FRENCH and GERMAN Companies with similar investments and partnerships with RUSSIAN entities. Some of those are for state of the art military hardware, especially electronics and sensors.
The members of the G7 are so heavily invested in China Inc. and friends of China Inc. that their risk profile is off the charts if those investments are impacted by decisions of those governments.
While reading Sundance’s articles on these topics … one has to string them together as well as tie them to the political combat occurring in the US and on the World Stage. Unlike the G7 members who talk a good game of ecomincs as a weapon China Inc. and their friends actually are putting the economic weapon to use.
Also, in the headlines … while the dumplings were being served for desert to the EU Delegation visiting China Inc., scratch your head over this one.
US “friend” the Philippines has requested a meeting with China inc. ally (within BRICS) INDIA to help them defend against China Inc. incursions to occupy and fortify Islands (Parcel’s and Spraty’s) near the Philippines.
Here in North Carolina when we go to church that has a school attached,we can now shoot the mentally ill democrat demon witch that comes to murder us and our family. “Cant you just feel the sunshine cant you just see the moonshine aint it just like a friend of mine to take me from behind yes Im going to Carolina in my mind”

The Democrats continue to find new ways to fraudulently get their candidates elected! Now an App which in essence pays for votes!! My guess is this is a successful test run, look for the Democrats to develop more similar Apps and run them out across the country paying for votes!!! Just a new high tech version of the Chicago Alderman’s “walk around money” buying votes! JMO
Someone from Wisconsin, please chime in here. If this is true and illegal under state law, is anyone going to do anything about it? Can the state legislature investigate? If true, can the State Legislature invalidate the election? I suppose they could remove the newly elected State SCJ if she was linked to the crime.
Either way, now that the cat is out of the bag, I do not believe this can be done again, as, if I lived in Wisconsin, I would get in line to get my $250. As the opposing candidate, I would even advertise this which would create a flood of tens of thousands of people lining up to get their money. Or do you have to be a Demokrat to get the App?

Sweden: Investigation Shows State Actor Behind Nord Stream Blast
In yet more evidence on the side of Seymour Hersh’s reporting, Sweden has announced Thursday that amid its ongoing investigation into the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, it has concluded that a state actor is the likeliest culprit.
Swedish Public Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist, who heads the ongoing investigation, stated “The clear main scenario” is that a state-sponsored group was behind the explosions.

NEW: Medical codes introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to show when people are unvaccinated or undervaccinated for COVID-19 are being used to track people, the top US public health agency has confirmed, The Epoch Times reports
To my many Catholic friends, this Confessional Lutheran was delighted to learn the following about your beloved priest, Jan Michael Joncas:

NEW ULM — The Minnesota Music Hall of Fame (MMHF) will be inducting five new members on Friday, April 14 and hosting an inductee showcase on Saturday, April 15.
The induction ceremony is a chance for the public to meet the latest additions to MMHF. The showcase is a chance to experience the entire history of Minnesota Music.
MMHF executive director Bonnie Ubl said this year’s showcase will be extra special thanks to the inclusion of new Prince memorabilia.
Ubl said the entire museum received an overhaul during the winter. All displays have been reorganized to better open up the space for visitors.
This year’s inductees are The Jolly Huntsman, Rebecca “Becky Buller,” The Del Counts, Gwen Mathews and Father Jan Michael Joncas.
[COMMENT: Joncas is the author of “On Eagle’s Wings”, along with 53 other hymns. We have that hymn and “Take and Eat” in our Christian Worship hymnal, and we sang it last night before Holy Communion. Mrs. Arminius and I marveled at its majesty and beauty…again.]
Seymour Hersh: The Nord Stream Ghost Ship
The false details in the CIA’s cover story.
https://scheerpost.com/2023/04/05/seymour-hersh-the-nord-stream-ghost-ship/
Hersh solicits the opinion of an informed intelligence professional on that story about a yacht called Andromeda:
“In the world of professional analysts and operators everyone will universally and correctly conclude from your story that the devilish CIA concocted a counter-op that is on its face so ridiculous and childish that the real purpose was to reinforce the truth.”

“It’s a smoke screen? Double bluff. Look, you obviously don’t know anything about intelligence work, lady. It’s an X-K-Red-27 technique.”

FTA “But the numbers getting bandied about these days about job growth and unemployment are wildly misleading because they ignore important bits of context. Such as:
The pace of job growth slowed considerably once Biden started “rescuing” the economy.It took just nine months under President Donald Trump for the economy to regain 57% of the 22 million jobs lost during the COVID lockdowns. It took 17 months under Biden to regain the other 43%.The economy was adding jobs at an average of 1.3 million a month in Trump’s last nine months in office. In the first nine months of Biden’s term, job growth averaged 620,000.As a result, job growth is now behind the pace set by most recoveries since 1948, according to the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. Nearly three years after the COVID recession officially ended, we are still just 2% ahead of the previous employment peak. At the same point after the 1981 recession, there were 3.5% more jobs. Three years after the 1969 recession, the job market was 5.7% bigger.The jobs picture would be far worse had it not been for Republican-run states that defied the Biden administration’s intrusive COVID policies. By mid-2022, red states were 350,000 ahead of their pre-COVID highs, while blue states were still 1.3 million jobs short of where they were before the COVID lockdowns.”
The gaslighting about the economy by whispering ChiCom Joe and the White House and dutifully regurgitated by the state run corrupt leftist propagandist msm is on a par with Russian Communist leaders and Pravda in their heyday of the 50s and 60s!!!
Interesting Twitter thread:
Geoff Shepard’s book confirms this…real villain was John Dean who lied and implicated Nixon in order to save his own skin…giving the Dem’s ammo in order to go after the President…
So the deep state is now 3-0 in taking out anti war Presidents they don’t like, JFK, Nixon and President Trump in 2020! It’s all out in the open and yet the unelected deep state funded by us We The People our tax dollars is unaffected by any of these disclosures! Why is that? Just wondering?
Beware of the Restrict Act: Patriot Act for the Internet on Steroids
Can a Left/Right Civil Libertarian Coalition defeat the Restrict Act?
There is a new bill to ban TikTok, that is not really about banning TikTok, that has gone under the radar until recently. The very Orwellian worded, “Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology,” or RESTRICT act, has some very dangerous provisions. For instance, the act grants the Secretary of Commerce and Director of National Intelligence, the authority to label any foreign group or individual, an adversary of the United States, target any US citizen with associations to a particular foreign adversary as a threat to the “national interest,” and grants the State discretion to ban software and apps from nations deemed adversaries. The act would also criminalize the use of VPNs to access banned foreign apps, allows the Feds access to all online data without a warrant, and is worded so that the Freedom of Information act and congressional oversight would not apply to Restrict act cases and investigations, so no due process. Also any violations of this act would be tried exclusively in DC Appeals Court, which is one of the most partisan and politically biased courts in the nation.

Here’s the latest warning from former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty:
STOP the RESTRICT Act
Disguised as a bill against a Chinese-owned social network, the RESTRICT Act would silence free speech by allowing the government to criminalize any speech they deem to serve a foreign interest.
This would allow the Biden administration to control speech on the Internet, with the threat of you being prosecuted with a 20-year federal felony and up to a million dollar fine.
DEMAND your representative and senators OPPOSE this Trojan horse of tyranny.

And here’s the latest from the John Birch Society:
Stop Feds From Restricting Our Liberties — Oppose the RESTRICT Act (S. 686)
Members of Congress are seeking to enact S. 686, the RESTRICT Act. This bill, despite ostensibly being just a “TikTok ban,” would give new, tyrannical powers to the federal government.
S. 686 is being sold to the American people as merely a “TikTok ban.” However, this bill would do far more than just that — in reality, it would amount to a second “PATRIOT Act.”
For example, S. 686 does not just affect TikTok — it would allow the federal government to designate any country as a “foreign adversary,” without any congressional oversight, and then restrict access to any online services associated in some way with that country.
Worse, the bill would impose severe penalties on American citizens who seek any type of “transaction” — which is very broadly defined — with those services. The bill allows the government to “enforce[e] any mitigation measure to address any risk” and any “current, past, or potential future transaction” — so Americans could be targeted if they simply plan on accessing the restricted sites — and there are no provisions requiring due process. Penalties on Americans include a $250,000 civil fine, a $1 million criminal fine, and a jail sentence of up to 20 years.

Two pieces of news I found interesting that isn’t on the MSM. Raytheon associate director, Jeff Lampkin, and his wife were killed in a light plane crash in Florida on Wednesday.
Viktor Bout sent a telegram to President Trump in support because of the lawsuit against him. “First of all, I believe that his life is in danger.”
fwiw- Everything we were told about Victor Bout was a lie.
Nobody American political figure should go to Taiwan. Official US policy is one China, and going to Taiwan has no purpose other than to provoke China and make the idiots who go there look like tough guys. If the US and China go to war, our Navy will be sunk before it gets close. These dolts are all fighting as if this would be another WWII. None of them understand war or logistics.
Youngkin is whoring for Ron’s donors. He wants to break off a few billionaires from DeSantis.
Notably, some 30% of federally-prosecuted PPP loan frauds were attributable to just two banks:
The tiny New Jersey bank ended up being the sixth-largest originator of PPP loans in the United States. This led to the bank generating over $1 billion in fees according to Bloomberg.
