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.

Has YOUR city BANNED all oil and gas drilling? Brentwood, CA has …
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/brentwood-moves-to-ban-any-future-drilling-or-production-of-oil-and-gas/ar-BB1ii7lS
I expect Brentwood is also a Nuclear-free zone. And soon, I expect, they will ban driving and home heating … since they’re so proudly fossil fuel hostile.
For a minute I thought this was Brentwood the tony suburb of LA. But it’s Brentwood the city which is near San Francisco.
Yah, where are they going to get their gas and oil if they shut down drilling here? It’s OK if it comes from outside of the city or state? NIMBY? That drilling has been going on since the early 1960’s, I found out. https://www.osti.gov/biblio/6093526
Chevron has a big refinery north of Oakland, which is supplied by pipelines.
This oil drilling ban, is mostly for political show, since most small land based oil wells are of a smaller well casing size, compared to say, the deepwater wells, which can be up to a 16″ well casing.
The US petroleum pipelines and routes are divided into sectors, and are primarily based with the starting point of Cushing, Oklahoma.
From there, the crude flows to the different regions, within the USA, to the refineries.
Geological setbacks do occur, and also big producing land based oilfields happen. Like the oilfields in North Dakota, and west Texas, where volume of the number of wells, produce enough to supply a refinery.
This is why, the liberals, are attacking the pipeline process and development. Because a pipeline is a 50+ year commitment to the oil industry and the wells that produce the product, that they wish to stop.
Let me tell you that there is open and intensifying WAR against the refineries in Richmond, and Martinez. Almost daily … the local news media (the leftist controlled, KTVU Fox News) … run stories about “discharges” from the refineries … common things such as “flaring” of gas, and micro particulate matter. The supposition is that EVERY discharge is dangerous and life threatening.
https://www.baaqmd.gov/news-and-events/page-resources/2024-news/021324-announcement
Make no mistake … there is an organized movement afoot to SHUT DOWN these Bay Area refineries. So you think gasoline prices are high in CA now? Just wait till all the Bay Area refineries shut down. Yeah … that’ll drive you out of your ICE autos … and then … “get you out of your cars” altogether. Eat bug-powder smoothies and bike to work, Plebes!!!
“The Air District estimates that the emission reductions achieved by the rule will result in tens of millions of dollars per year in health benefits by reducing early deaths and other health impacts of exposure to particulate matter.”
Estimates … like every other global warming claim
When I first moved to the Lake Erie region of NY in late ’97, there was a coal fired power plant in Dunkirk, NY. If the weather was warm you never saw any discharge from the stacks, ever. If it was cold outside, you saw condensation from the warm exhaust hitting the cold ambient air in the form of clouds. A good photographer could utilize camera filters and shadows to make the exhaust look almost black in places and those pictures were ALWAYS used in the media. Always.
Yep. But now we live in the era of no-see-ems … The GIANT swirling plastic patch the size of TEXAS in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Uhhhh … yeah, we wouldn’t get any actual pictures of that … so they now call it “micro plastics” … so small, they can only be seen through an electron microscope. And the EPA is regulating micro particulate matter … so small … again, an electron microscope. But they’re piling up in children’s lungs … and we’re all gonna dieeeeee! an ugly, painful death … a highly “respected” government agency says so … so no more diesel … and no more ICE autos.
They’re … saving … our lives, right? How benevolent of our dictators and destroyers.
If I was the CEO of a major oil company I would stop all sales of oil and gasoline products to retail or wholesale oil/gasoline/natural gas customers within that district. Let’s see how long the people would put up with those government a**holes’ “green” policies.
Yes, they tried that, a few years back. Remember when that pipeline went offline that supplied the southeast with gasoline, and people were filling up plastic bags full of gas?
They blamed it on computer hackers, but no one was arrested or named as the culprit. Which means, more than likely, that the government, itself, shut the pipeline down to see the public reaction, to their future goal of banning oil and gas.
I do remember that, now that you mention it. I think the reason I (and probably most others) forgot was exactly because the story disappeared with no one being blamed for it. That DOES sound like a typical false flag event engineered by nefarious entity (or entities) inside government. The media journalists usually won’t let a story die unless their Deep State government masters tell the media corporate bosses to “drop it.”
Throughout the years I have known and dealt with a number of oil and gas executives. You obviously don’t understand the mindset of an Oil Company CEO. He has battled his way to the top and is at the end of his career. They got to where they are at by being a great company politician and whenever possible avoiding controversy, because there is a 50/50 chance of being on the wrong side. Their goal is to spend the next 5 to 10 years avoiding any divisive issues, running up stock prices (because they make most of their money from stock options) keep profits up and pushing any serious problems down the road so that who ever follows them has to deal with them. At the end of their time as CEO they can retire, cash in their options and have enough money that the next 4 generations of their family can live like the top 1% of wealthy in the country and never have to lift a finger if they don’t want too. You can’t do this if you tackle controversy like climate change activist head on.
“You obviously don’t understand the mindset of an Oil Company CEO.”
LOLOL! As if they are unique among CEOs!! I’ve observed CEO behavior quite often in my many decades on this planet. I’ve met CEOs of my employers/ corporations and those of other corporations that frequently get into the news.
Based on what you described, oil & gas company CEOs are pretty much like CEOs in every other industry. About 99% of them want NO controversy. However, ALL of them are responsible for maximizing the bottom line for shareholders (of publicly-owned corporations) while doing so legally and responsibly.
When a state outright denies them access to the raw natural resources that they can safely and responsibly extract to make their products, they should be doing whatever possible to convince that government to change their policies. PR can be used as part of that persuasion. The population depends on oil for energy for transportation, heating, cooking, and a large percentage of electric power generation. Any population’s unified attitude can have a significant impact on the state’s elected leaders.
What you’re describing is apparently what plagues the majority of our politicians as well. They all exhibit No testicular fortitude to do what’s right, but instead prefer to remain out of public sight so that the media doesn’t pick on them. Or they make assertive soundbites in front of MSM cameras and microphones, then follow up by NOT making any substantive or impactful actions.
I stand by my suggestion, knowing full well that few if any oil co. CEOs will have the guts to make as bold a statement and action to stand up to the also-gutless political leaders.
It’s the same as unionized workers going out on strike to protest unfair labor practices., or consumers boycotting a company because of unscrupulous or politically biased policies. The oil company merely boycotts the state.
We all know about recent changes to the law, regarding obligations of corporate leadership.
Used to be their primary obligation was to shareholders, but then they got DEI legislation passed (I forget the name) which said they had an obligation to all “stakeholders” including the birds and fishes, and could make decisions which loweredreturn to shareholders, in order to benefit these other “stakeholdets”.
However, theres an earlier change in laws/regulations regarding corporate governance, I recall hearing about.
The rules on compensation used to encourage CEO’s and boards to think long term, instead of quarterly share price.
I think the change may have been 30 years ago or more…
I have heard that Japanese CEO’s long term stock compensation is based on how the company they ran does after they step down not on a current quarterly basis. This encourages them to think long term. I agree we need to rethink how we do CEO and Board member compensation to force long term thinking rather short term stock price runup schemes. The whole climate change / CO2 connection was easily disprovable when it first came out and shut down. Instead they just decided to ignore it and hope it went away. That has proven to be irresponsible for everyone, shareholders, employees, royalty owners and consumers.
Brentwood is near UCLA in the middle of the city. OJ Simpson murdered Nicole in Brentwood. Chances are there was not going to be any oil drilling in Brentwood.
Brentwood the city where the drilling is going on is actually east of San Franscisco in Contra Costa County. Here’s some info about the oil and gas field. https://www.osti.gov/biblio/6093526
Why don’t they just ban exhaling, as it puts out massive amounts of CO2?
A King, tired of his subjects constantly haranging him to “do something”, led his subjects to the beach,…where he raised his arms, and commanded the tide to come in; it didn’t.
The “there oughta be a LAW!” is the origin of much mischief, as often times there already IS, and a fair amount of time the appropriate, common sense responce is “Well NO, there really SHOULDN’T.”
I’ve always said sarcastically (but also truthfully) that the real problem is fitness nuts. What gives them the right to consume 2x the calories of everybody else, just so they can burn it off by using 4x more Oxygen than us while exhaling 4x their poisonous gases?
That is exactly what Herr Führer Klaus Schwab & his globalist nazis in the WEF / WHO / UN/ Davos Group / CFR etc. want to do and have been actively trying to do with covid vaxx, with policies against farming (food production), with absurd greenhouse gas objectives, and everything else that is anti-human in which they are promoting and/or engaged.
They’re trying to kill 3/4ths of the global population (stop them from breathing.)
My responce to that is;
I agree,…you first!
No, Klause go ahead I’m right behind you,…you just show me how its done!
I actually really do agree with the WEF’ers that the Global population DOES need to be thinned out, or purged,…
Me and the WEFers just disagree on WHO should be purged. They think I should, and I think THEY should…
Yeaahhhhh.. Your sarcasm is duly noted and appreciated, even though I fully agree with your proposed “purge” policy……
Herr Fürer Schwab and his private jet-setting cabal obviously subscribe to a policy that more or less follows a “more restrictions for thee but none for me” type of philosophy.
lindak: It’s not the same Brentwood, but, actually, there is an active drilling rig on the grounds of the VA, in the Brentwood that is in LA. There are also gas lines that run up and down the canyons and fire road north of Sunset Blvd., in the LA Brentwood. There are oil and gas operations scattered all around the greater LA area. After all, that’s how LA really got started–by oil men, such as JP Getty.
Speaking of that Brentwood … I have a very wealthy uncle, Stanford Business graduate in the 1950’s, who lived in a mansion in Brentwood in the 1960’s. Really one of the most beautiful communities in LA.
He now lives in Jackson Hole, Wy (and another location, I won’t mention) … He insists there are FAR BETTER places to live in the USA. Speaking as a Californian living in a beautiful N.CA suburb … he’s absolutely right.
Yes, Brentwood in SoCal has fine restaurants anf great boutiques. However, Kenji’s Brentwood is in the NoCal area, as in Northern California. But us Los Angeles people can only think of SoCal being the heart of the world, so there. I know that for a fact! Trust me. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Not that Brentwood.
From the article: “But in August of 2023, the California Supreme Court, in the case Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. County of Monterey, ruled that cities and counties cannot regulate methods and practices of oil production, but left open their ability to regulate where that production takes place.”
As IF oil drilling a pump jacks harms ANYONE’s health … however, just like the FRAUDULENT WHO study that found Roundup kills people … ai expect the WHO has a “study” citing the environmental hazard of pump jacks.
We in Seal Beach California loved our oil wells – great revenue to the City and they had a melancholic beauty set amidst the wetland habitats slightly inland with their semi rusted mechanical pumpjacks.
There were 24,000 Chinese illegals that crossed over in 2023. Since October 2023 20,000 more have crossed illegally. Let’s not kid ourselves, your average Chinese citizen doesn’t have an extra $20,000 to make the trek to the US border. I also seriously doubt Xi likes the optics of his citizens fleeing for asylum unless he has planned it. This is a well coordinated CCP attack.
“Chinese Nationals Are Surging Over The Border — This Isn’t A Crisis, It’s An Invasion.”
Excerpts:
The Biden administration’s long-held talking point is that the current border crisis is fueled by a surge of struggling migrants from unstable Latin American countries. Chinese migrants, however, not natural disaster victims in Central America, have become the fastest-growing people group to take advantage of the lapsed southern U.S. border.
America’s number one foreign enemy isn’t just sending spies through gaps in the abandoned border wall. It’s also actively fueling the death and destruction at the open southern border.
Cartels do most of the fentanyl smuggling, but their operations are directly sustained by investors linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

155 UNDOCUMENTED IN YUCATÁN # ARRESTED
#Police #Yucatán At the police checkpoint on the Mérida-Cancún highway, 155 undocumented immigrants were arrested.
The event occurred at the checkpoint installed at kilometer 217 of the Mérida-Cancún toll road, where the agents stopped a vehicle enabled as a Campeche taxi and two buses that came in convoy.
When checked, the two buses detected 155 passengers, including men, women and children, originally from #Brasil, #Honduras, #Jordan, #Dominican Republic, #Guatemala, #India and #Pakistan, who did not count legal papers to be in #Mexico.
The undocumented immigrants were referred to the corresponding authorities, while the truck drivers and the taxi passenger were detained and taken to the building for their legal status.
The units were moved to the #Valladolid corralón.

Just wanted to point out one thing, in 1989 George Herbert Walker Bush chose to NOT SUPPORT Chinese Protestors yearning for freedom.
Had he supported the Tienanmen Protestors, there would be NO CCCP. There would be NO NEED to protect Taiwan. There would NO RICH Chinese COMMUNIST OLIGARCHS getting FAT OFF OF AMERICAN INVENTIONS AND INDUSTRIES STOLEN FROM AMERICA. And consequently there wouldn’t be this disaster on our Southern Border.
Had Pres. Trump been President in 1989 you know he would defend America, and he would helped people striving for freedom from Slavery. He is literally our last best hope for a better future while the best the intellectual descendants of George HW Bush can offer is a Harridan who wishes to help the CCCP by robbing Anonymity from the Internet.
That description has nothing to do with the Hegelian Dialectic.
Not the actual definition used by philosophers. Coming up with a higher truth that encompasses both sides of a debate.
Nor even the misapplied definition of splitting the people up against each other to gain power over all.
in general…it makes the point. now go clean up memphis.
Sounds like the debate over the Patriot Act post 9/11. A few wise people advised against but a lot of conservatives supported it mostly because idiot George was pushing it and they were fearful.
Whatever its called, its how they justified creating the FBI, FDA, DEA (actually predecessor FBNDD) CIA, EPA, AEC, etc.
And they use it because it works..
It was the idiot George who also pushed the too big to fail bailouts.
George may have been an idiot, but those things he did, to prepare the way for his successor, were NOT by accident and idiocy.
The Bush jr. admin paved the way for his successor, and his ‘transformation’ and it was NOT by accident!
G. Bush appointed Mueller to head FBI, which brought in Comey and Wiesmann.
They subverted FBI with 7 and out, and weoponisation of background check process, enabling the reshaping of intel on ideological grounds.
Signed MOU between CIA and FBI, ..
Signed Patriot Act, …
Bush set everything up for Obama, ..
“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.” H.L. Mencken
Which is precisely why they create a crisis.
“To put it simply, the basis of Hegelianism assumes that the human mind can’t understand anything unless it can be split into two polar opposites…. Good/Evil, Right/Wrong, Left/Right, Thesis/Antithesis.
For example when people are talking about 2 political parties, what they’re actually referring to – without realizing it – is the thesis and the antithesis, based on the Hegelian Dialectic. The only real debate that occurs on any subject relates to the minor differences between those two parties. Nothing is said or done about the issues that neither left or right is discussing. In polarity politics, they control the agenda.”

We’re absolutely on the Venezuela plan down the drain.
What is going on here is just what happened there..
Exactly what will happen here. The average citizen is still getting some food from garbage cans. A hamburger costs ~ $500.00 dollars the last time I looked. From 69th in wealth to no food or clean drinking water in about 10 years. Also had those vote counting machines installed in time to have the Communists elected forever.
Anyone who is fantasizing that Russia is so much better than the US should read about, among other things, their COVID handling. If anyone thinks the US had strict lockdowns, they should read about Russia’s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Russia
That’s odd, I watched live cameras from all over the world during the covid scam, and the Russian ones showed their citizens going to work, going shopping, having fun with most of them not wearing masks.
Read the wikipedia info or news articles with quotes from citizens there.
No thanks Troll. Wiki is for children.
Wiki was pretty good in the beginnings, but now is like going to the New York Times for objective news. Pure leftist propaganda.
Yeah, I call Bullshyte, as well.
I DID read at the time, and not from WIKI.
Putin did NOT accept the ‘generous offer’ from Big Harma, for Pfizer/Moderna clot shots, Russia developed its OWN vax for Covid, called Sputnic.
It was OPTIONAL whether to take it, and sceptical Russians hada low compliance rate..
Putin left it up to LOCAL health officials to decide Public Health Policy, and there were very few if any lockdowns.
Go home and try it again, as this anti-Putin rhetoric is of no value.

Every so often, not often enough I include IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) in my posts.
Back when Covid was raging, I got the currious idea to look and see how Putin and Russia were dealing with Covid.
I looked at a variety of different sites, did searches, etc.
I was doing it to satisfy my own curiosity, and so didn’t save the links, because I never anticipated arguing with someone else about it and once I read it, I have a memory, and so don’t NEED to save it on my phone.
I DID the research, reached my conclusion, my OPINION and am quite comfortable with it, now.
And I am neither in love with TC, or with Putin,..I just consider neither my enemy.

The wikipedia information was a nicely-organized detailed collection of info that I had read from reputable sources, that’s why I posted the link to it.
Everyone knows about Wiki’s reputation here but apparently you don’t.
Post a link to info you think is correct. Or, alternatively, pick out some of the info from the wikipedia entry and counter it with your own sourced facts. Either way is good.

If the info I posted is incorrect, please do post a link to info you think is correct. I’m looking forward to reading it.
You used Wikipedia as a source?
HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Piss off Troll.
I don’t use Wikipedia either, but I wonder where there’s a good source of information about Russia.
Seek out and source some reliable Russian live-streamers and follow/review their streams and form one’s own opinion.
I have a mix of men and women I follow, now for a few years, mainly after Covid, to see how things are going, how their personal/business lives are affected and to brush up on my Russian. Some are pro-Putin, some anti-Putin. I like to see multiple perspectives.
One thing I noted in the live streams from Moscow and St. Pete, both citizens and fixed live cameras, was the lack of overt policing and also bicycle and other type fencing like we see commonly in D.C. I have a couple D.C. live streamers/videographers that I’ve followed for comparison. I started with that when the convoy was there in 2022.
I spent some time over a number of years in the 90’s in the FSU and my family is from southern Russia.
I think it’s healthy to be skeptical. Do one’s own research and come to independent conclusions.
Yes. Thank you. I do try to always make my own opinions. I don’t let myself to be influenced by other people.
I never cared enough about Russia, but seeing all the praises for them makes me wonder if things are really that good over there.
I think the fact that Russia is a big place can mean that one person’s impression can be very different from another’s.
Think about the difference between parts of Chicago and places in other states.
It’s huge.
Good for you.👏👏👏

At Nike I worked with a woman from Moscow – she was smart as a tack. She went back to visit and said her friends had a self-cleaning shower. They’re not as backwards as I used to think. Saw this on X – absolutely magical – and started following this guy:
It’s definitely healthy to be skeptical but if you are around here enough you’ll see that for some reason Tucker Carlson’s glowing reports of Russia have caused some people here to think Putin is the most benevolent leader ever and Russia is such a fantastic place to live. Much of it based on photos of the subway stations.

Sundance seems to agree with Tucker regarding Russia. Sundance went to Russia to see for himself.
I may not trust Tucker, but I do trust Sundance.
Touche!!! Well done 😉
The mean girls are triggered. lol
I’m glad you don’t necessarily trust Tucker, that’s a good thing. As for Sundance, I missed the part in the article where Sundance says he has been to Russia but maybe it’s elsewhere. If you can find it I’d appreciate it.
You know it’s easy to be a visitor to a place and form a good opinion of it. It’s another matter to actually live there. Be sure to read about how Russia handled COVID. They enacted some harsh treatments of their people, the kind of stuff people in this forum routinely complain about (for good reason). Did you see my comment about a protest after which multiple people were jailed and some even imprisoned? It was not an antifa-style riot, it was a large peaceful protest about the severe lockdowns.
You cannot judge a country by the appearance of its subway stations. China has some magnificent modern buildings, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Same with Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
Do you know how long Putin has been “President”? Do you think we would tolerate a President who has been in office for that long time?
Apparently communism was good for Russia …
😒
You’re supporting communism. OMG.
You missed my sarcasm face. 😒
I abhor communism. I came from a Dictatorship country and I know how bad that is.
I missed your sarcasm face! Thank you.
i’ll give you that. carlson’s parents were communists i believe.
It might have something to do with the fact that the gay mafia, trans mafia, the eco mafia and the woke mafia have not been allowed to rule the roost in Russia.
It also might have something to do with the fact that Russia is fairly to strongly nationalist, with strong and revered traditions, and its population likes it that way…which makes them an obvious target of and threat to globalists and globalism…perhaps you should add those things to your equation of what ‘some people’ think.
Which begs the questions, What does he do with gays, trans, and eco-fanatics? Silence them? How? Are you OK with this?
go there and talk to the citizens.
OK, then you find what you consider to be a reputable source of information about Russia’s COVID lockdowns or Putin or the Russian government, and post the link here and I’ll read it.
Do you know how long Putin has been “President”?
You are making false statements left and right.
Putin has bounced between President and Prime Minister every few elections due to the constitutional constraints.
He is their leader though.
AND, up until the mid-20th century, American did “put up with” Presidents serving more than 2 terms. FDR was elected 4 times.
Welcome to the Thunderdome!
Seriously? OK, the title changes, but he’s still been in control since 1999 and he title has been “President” since 2012. Kind of like Xi, though with a facade of democracy.
But go ahead and defend a despot and maybe even wish for the same here in the US. And then don’t cry if you get what you asked for. We actually already have it, in a way, and it’s Trump who is leading the fight against it.
Why do you care about the internal machinations of the Russian government so much?
Bk I had an unfortunate interaction with the poster you are interacting with. Projected onto me. Haven’t had that done to me here in a long time
He’s whining over on page 3 about everyone teaming up on him and ‘stalking’ him because they point out his falsehoods or disagree with his/her position.
It showed me its mettle when it projected onto me because I exposed what it was saying was not true. Your pretty good at exposing these influencers. carry on my friend
I saw that post and came back here to see what the bally hooing is about. It’s quite interesting. I always find it interesting when someone casts insults then blame others for not tolerating their rudeness.
I don’t normally get “attacked” on this site and apparently that means I’m part of a “clique’. I wish I’d known that….
So here’s an idea….why don’t you put all that energy you’re expending on taking out our dictator.
Considering the western Globalist governments want to take out Putin because he is a pro Russia Nationalist and anti globalism ….you find a reputable source of info about Russia, Putin . It does not exist among MSM.
President Claudine Gay of Harvard loves Wikipedia!
Yeah, yeah … and the trains run on time.
so how much degradation of culture, and infrastructure does one need to suffer before that freedom actually enslaves you? Forces you into the Fortress of your own home?
Why do we need to give up anything? Can’t we have both?
I don’t think anyone is fantasizing about Russia but we all can see they are doing much better than we are at the moment protecting their nationalism. No place is perfect, but when a former hardcore communist country looks better on economic issues, on national sovereignty issues, on productivity issues, on refusing to kow tow to the world cabal, on military issues, etc., than the supposedly greatest republic and democracy in the world, when their people look happy and prosperous compared to the bitter, angry, mentally ill nation destroying itself from within that we are at the moment, it does evoke comparisons and grudging acknowledgement of those truths. Admit it and we can work to correct it.
It isn’t a fantasy when groceries in the USA cost 4 times what they cost in Russia. Or when the public transportation is clean, safe, dependable.
Putin is no monster or oligarch he wants his people to finally thrive after years of destruction under the Communists.
You are so wrong about Putin. Do you know how long he’s been “President”?
At this point … I’m almost ready for Trump to become “President for Life” … like Dear Chairman Xi
Trump is by far more benevolent than Putin.
Who cares? That is the business of Russians, not ours.
And he has been President and Prime Minister on and off in both roles.
Would we have elected PT for that many terms ? If we were prospering then probably yes only an idiot die hard progressive would vote for their demise.
Not long enough!
We pay more to the multi-nationals (that hate Americans), so prices can be subsidized to allow countries that hate American to pay less. Sound about right?
They aren’t the Soviet Bear anymore. That’s what people feared.
“Do we want children from elementary school to be imposed with things that lead to degradation and extinction?” Putin asked. “Do we want them to be taught that instead of men and women, there are supposedly some other genders and to be offered sex-change surgeries?”

Bull.
Most definitely not.
Is this a better source for you all? https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/12/21/russias-response-to-the-coronavirus-the-2020-timeline-a72420 It’s an easy read but too large to post here. Here are just a few highlights.
In Feb 2020 Russia evacuated its people from Wuhan and quarantined them all in Siberia. Think that was pleasant for those people?
In Mar 2020 Russians returning to Moscow were ordered to quarantine.
President Vladimir Putin announces a non-working week from March 28 to April 5 in an address to the nation aired on March 25.
Russia halts all international air traffic on March 27 and closes all border crossings from March 30. Hundreds of migrants workers are stranded in Moscow’s airports.
After Russia’s total number of confirmed cases surpasses 1,000, Moscow enacts a citywide lockdown from March 30. Most other regions follow suit and small businesses across the country prepare for the worst.
And it got worse. If you disagree with this source then again I ask that you post your own reputable source, don’t just lob an insult. We should be seeking to know the truth.
Here’s another entry for those of you claiming that the citizens were not upset.
On April 20, around 2,000 people gather in Freedom Square in the heart of Vladikavkaz to protest the self-isolation order as the North Caucasus region struggles to cope with rising infections and a worsening economic situation.
There are numerous reputable sources documenting the protest, one describing it as “massive”. People were arrested, some were imprisoned. Russia doesn’t tolerate dissent very well.
My statements are from the link that YOU provided…

No one said they aren’t harsh at times. They are. It is still a dictatorship in truth but with much more modernized economy and populace. They certainly don’t look unhappy or dreary anymore like during the strict communist era.
Putin has a very iffy past with his associations and actions. We get your point. But there’s no joy in looking at what happened in America during Covid either. Lockdowns, people out of work and forced to take vaccines. Stores, schools and even churches closed for months. Citizens of most countries were extremely upset. It works both ways sometimes. No excuses of hero worship for Putin, just recognizing his nationalism and his fierce protection of his country and people.
Were you told the truth about the virus in the US? I looked at the wiki links and most of them are self referenced to other wiki articles. The Moscow times states that lockdowns were controlled locally. There was no national lockdown and nobody was fired for refusing a vaccine. It was voluntary. Now compare this to The US and continue to argue that somehow Russia is “bad” worse than our own responses.
Provide a link to info that you consider correct. I’ll take a look at it.
And please don’t link to someone’s blog. Please link to published researched articles.

Well that supports MY view of how Russia handled COVID.
Until the World knew what
was going on…..especially around
Feb. 2020……
Each country took its own
precautions to contain.💁🤷♀️
I don’t know what point
you are trying to make❓
Wrong
Provide a link to correct info then.
Your link is nothing more than quarantining people coming from a dangerous area from abroad, that were later released.
Their lockdowns did not last very long.
And trying to distract Treepers with posting links to knowledge we’ve all got from previous conversations on this site is diversion.

I very well remember the lies and Orwellian revisionism of WWII Balkans history, and then current propaganda against Russia’s little Orthodox Christian brothers & sisters our old friends & allies the Serbs in the Globalist war crimes in the Balkans of the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Speculation was that Clinton’s bagboy thief Sandy Berger stole documents from the National Archives exposing Clinton/Nato ties to Al-Qaeda in the Balkans

“Что? мной. волноваться ?”
Shops, restaurants and schools have shut in Moscow in a partial🤣 lockdown, as Russia battles record Covid deaths and infections.
Many still out and about in the capitalRichard Galpin, BBC News, Moscow
On a grey, damp day here it seems little has changed as a result of the partial lockdown.🤷🏻♂️ The streets may be a little quieter than normal but there are still plenty of cars, including taxis, on the roads.
The extensive metro system has also been quite busy, as have the bicycle couriers who deliver takeaway food.
Construction work on a major shopping development continues, albeit at a slow pace.
Truly tyrannical!!🤣🤡

Has Tucker returned to the united states? I’ve not been able to keep up like I once could so I really don’t know?
He’s probably still flitting about trying to be important.
And sticking his neck out for the truth….Sundance requires we use our brains on here thus no down botton….which I would punch several times on your comment.
I wonder if he got an answer to his request for an interview withUkraine’s president?
People keep accusing him of promoting Putin’s side of things, but he has offered equal time.
Another green gnome interview❓
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Zelensky has had more than enough
air-time.
Go….away
Triggered?
Your pretending to be a righty, is a failure.
The readers here, dont much do leftist fail trolls like yourself.
Clown….
Why is he/she a “leftist troll”?? He/she is pointing out that Putin is a dictator. Can you prove her/him wrong?
We don’t do much name calling here, either. We use to discuss different opinions.
Defend the troll all you like.
Ill speak my mind, I dont do pretend world. IE: Wiki being a good source.
We know how this works.
A lefty troll spews some hoss puckey, and suddenly, it has defenders…just like magic.
Carry on.
My opinion of Putin has been acknowledged many times, right here. What you think, and what I think, differs.
What I say to this obvious troll doesnt concern you. Carry on ” Val “. Try to defend people like this, then expect pushback, in a free speech environment. You can unclutch those pearls now too. 😉
I have asked numerous times … post links to info you consider to be correct. Please be sure that the sources are reputable. I will read the info. Please stop attacking me and provide actual info. The insults and name-calling are pointless. We should all be seeking the truth.
You can always disengage if you don’t like to pushback from the other commenters.
I’m not defending anyone. I like to hear/read different opinions.
What you say here at The Treehouse is everyone’s business if they choose to make it so. Otherwise, private message someone if you can’t stand the heat.
What heat?
“BobofThe North’s” last paragraph where he tells “Val1″, ” What I say to this obvious troll doesn’t concern you.”
“Bob” has no right to tell anyone not to comment about anyone’s post. Everything here is public, not private.
Thank you Val1.
It’s shocking to me that my unflattering remarks about Putin now make me a “leftist”. lol
I’m beginning to think the people complaining at me are the ones we should worry about ….
Its not your unflattering remarks, its your methodology.
🎯
“MAGA” is no troll nor in any way a “leftist”. He posts here quite a bit and usually has everyone agreeing with him/her which isn’t important anyway.
I admire and respect Putin and disagree with “MAGA” on this issue.
You wouldn’t know a troll if you tripped and fell over one.
MAGA does what all infiltrator wannabes do. He just blew his wad because of his weak feelzies. Outed himself.
He comments A LOT here. I disagree with his opinions about Russia’s Covid response and his opinion about President Putin but find agreement with most other things he touts. No way is he a troll.
So Sad!
Actually just annoyed.
It reminds me of when
a group of adults are
talking among themselves
and a know it all child keeps
interrupting.
Seems there are two of them doing the hand offs today. Interesting.
“Two” of what Cjzak? Two people who disagree with the echo chamber?
I will NEVER carry water for any politician, especially one with dictatorship capabilities.
These are WRITTEN words that anyone can skate past so your child butting in analogy doesn’t work. Writing a different viewpoint is now “interrupting”?
*sigh* … but I’m still glad Sundance gives voice to all comers and all opinions … no matter how malignant
So a journalist who tries to bring the truth, a direct and unafraid to ask a tough question journalist, one who can give millions of his followers info they otherwise would never see, is somehow bad to you? Very strange to be so sure about who and what he is. He doesn’t seem the type though, to worry about someone not liking him.
Blaming everyone but yourself is a famous tool of the left. We can’t engage in that dishonesty. Yes our elected leaders entered a different world when they went to DC. Most succumbed to its allure and created a life of corruption and financial plenty and want to keep it for themselves. They no longer represent us and have figured out ways to keep us out and controlled with manipulated and stolen elections.
However, it us, all 330,000,000 of us, who have sat around and been duped into believing they are not all that bad and just ignore the looming problems they are creating at will and which are ominously huge right now. Some time soon we will reap the rewards of deliberate ignorance and lack of action on our part to correct our elected officials long ago and demand they do what we elected them for. We have willingly given our power away and we need to reclaim it.
We have huge consumer power and we have yet to really exert it on a bigger scale than what the Budweiser incident caused. Yet, the majority of the citizens still won’t admit to any large problems nor will they act against their govt. members they put in place, well maybe put in place since TPTB control the elections now. They won’t demand in every state that election reforms be inserted immediately to protect our votes and free and fair elections. People are still too comfortable although realize things are a bit off in the economy and prices of goods and services. People are still functioning fairly well.
Admit to our guilt on this ignorance of the problems we all face and get straight so the issues killing is can be fixed. We can still do it. First step is to admit to our neglect of our civil duties and that we are in dangerous territory for our freedom and prosperity as Americans. Then we act in as much unity as possible, for some of us are lost forever already. Keep fighting for this wonderful nation. Never give up. Do more.
One challenge is getting an accurate accessment of how many of US there are.
You say “the majority of citisens still won’t admit,…” but since we can’t trust polling, the objective truth is we really have no idea how many American citisens are sufficiently aware of whats gone wrong, and are prepared to act to correct it.
We have SIGNS, of a great awakening,..for instance by revenue, views, and polls as a measure of influence, the msm have lost their position of dominence to MAGA Media.
As an example, when PDJT recently added a campaign promise to block CBDC’s, his rally audience KNEW what he was talking about, no explanation was neccesary.
While we can’t trust the opinion polls accuracy, if the MSM were succesfully influencing public opinion,…DeSantis would be the Republican nominee, and PDJT would be in last place…
How many of US are there?
How many that will vote for PDJT?
How many that will make some overt act, in defiance of TPTB, and in Unity and Solidarity AGAINST TPTB, if it means some sacrifice?
WE DON’T KNOW,….and neither does our enemy.
s’all I’m sayin’,…
Agreed. If the masses still believed all the propaganda, guuuuuugle wouldn’t have to be such a censorship engine.
We wouldn’t be forced to find ways around it.
Agreed which is why I said never give up. Keep fighting. I’ll believe there are more of us than we think when some positive action is taken by the average American voter who has seemingly not gotten in the game yet. No demands from the majority for election reforms, no action with large protests against the invasion and action trying to provide in person aid to the border states. No boycotts of large corporations except for the one against Budweiser. Why aren’t we all doing things like that against other woke companies? No tax protests because the govt. is sending billions overseas without our approval and doing whatever they want with them. So many things that should be done if the many are more than we know because if we had even half the country with us, the madness would stop. So tell me how many we can expect to be watching the election and protecting our votes when no state has even gotten rid of mail in voting yet? If there were a majority of us demanding that, working for it, it would already been gone in a lot of states. It isn’t. No required proof of citizenship in all the years we have tried to get it done. If enough of us had demanded in our states to make this happen, it would have been done long ago.
So while there maybe some awakening, it does not seem like it’s much more than the first yawn in the morning. We have 8 months to get a majority of voters out there to make sure the control changes to our side. If we don’t have a majority of voters working and acting on that, we are going to be in danger of another election full of fraud in all the places the left wants to steal besides the Presidency and we will be in dire straights come Jan.20, 2025. We need at least the Pres. and one other branch of the govt. We need many more of us fighting to gain back some sanity and our Constituional rights. I’m glad more people are starting to pay attention. We need more and we need them to believe the danger we are in.
And if you live in N.CA … you cannot even afford groceries anymore because of the PG&E rates! Which have been increasing at a far greater rate than inflation … and they’re STILL going up more!
https://www.pge.com/content/dam/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf
The average monthly cost … in my neighborhood … for basic electricity is well over $1,000.00/mo. And last year PG&E charged us 3x the market rate for Nat. Gas. Why? Because they could. Because the CA PUC and every State of CAL government agency wants to PUNISH … HARD … any Plebes who DARE to heat their homes. We literally keep our thermostat at 61deg.F … because my furnace never comes on at that setting (my home is well insulated with Marvin dbl pane windows) . We can’t afford to run our furnace.
i literally HATE every leftist in our government. Sorry Lord … but I just can’t love these people who want to tear it all down … but get $$$ rich in the process.
And as a reminder how the left works, remember we just lost 3 special elections to them over the last few days. That doesn’t show much awakening by any Republican or indie voter who knows the score on what is going on. Our side did not help win even one of those. Not one.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT! I hope you will continue to post this info, I don’t think it would be too much to post it on every comment page in every daily political thread.
I want to add a special shout out to the people of South Carolina. There might be significant Dem interference in the GOP primary, the turnout for the Dem primary which was held on Feb 3 was very low. Please make sure you vote in the largest numbers possible to ensure that Trump wins not only the entire state but each of the 7 congressional districts. There are 50 delegates at stake and the faster Trump makes it to the nomination threshold the sooner Haley will be silenced.
Will be interesting to see if there is a large turnout in SC, and yet no big Haley vote.
Possibly indicating a massive, genuine party switch, from D to MAGA, rather than a fake D to R switch to help Nikki against PDJT?
At last count 5 State legislators and one Big City mayor have announced switching parties, from D to R.
The press has given this little coverage, but its actually YUGE.
Most were black liberals, representing black, liberal constituencies, which means they are comfortable that their voters will still vote for them, despite “orange man bad”.
I have seen talk in social media forums of Dems excited to interfere in the GOP primary. I did read that they need to be registered to vote by Jan 25, so hopefully that will prevent some of them from acting.
The 2020 SC primary isn’t very valuable for comparison, so I looked back at 2016. In 2016, more than 740,000 people voted in the Republican primary and more than 368,000 voted in the Democrat primary. South Carolina’s primaries are open so we don’t know how many Democrats voted in the Republican primary, but considering that Trump was already such an inflammatory figure and the Dems’ top target I suspect there was notable interference. Rubio and Cruz did quite well.
This year approximately 131,000 voted in the Democrat primary. We could assume that the low turnout was due to Biden being nearly unopposed, there were two other candidates but there was no chance of either one doing much damage to Biden. But with Haley’s numerous pleas to Democrats to interfere and social media propagation of the plan plus the ease in which they can interfere (open primary) … I think there will be considerable interference. I don’t know what a reasonable estimate is, but I think it’s certainly possible that 200,000 or more Dems could vote in the GOP primary. So the South Carolina Trump supporters should vote as if it’s the general election, be a powerful force, make her lose.
I posted yesterday that SC has an interesting delegate awarding system. The overall winner gets 29 statewide delegates. And then the winner of each of the 7 congressional districts gets 3 delegates. If Trump sweeps the state, not just being the overall winner but winning every district, he can net all 50 delegates.
We really don’t have a RINO problem here in TN. Both of our Senators and all of our GOP House members range from decently conservative to full out MAGA. One of our Senators, Marsha Blackburn, is up for reelection and has no primary opposition, and the Dems can’t find anyone to run who isn’t a huge longshot.
Redistricting got rid of one Dem last cycle when the Nashville district was broken up and pieces spread around to surrounding districts. That moved the Congressional delegation from 7 GOP and 2 Dems to 8 GOP and 1 Dem. That one Dem is a radical Marxist, Cohen, who represents Memphis. Memphis is a lost cause….
l4grasshopper,
That is good to hear.
Good job!
Maybe the Dems could run Taylor Swift.
Both Tennessee Governor and Attorney General did nothing to force release of the trans shooter’s manifesto. The young woman who killed the children at the Christian School. The police and FBI were engaged in a cover-up.
Senator Marsha Blackburn is on the list of Decepticons Sundance regularly posts.
Mitchs Decepticons are 17-19 key Senate Republicons Mitch installs as chairs (when the R’s are the majority) or co-chairs (when R’s are minority) that oversee his interests in key committees.
Since Mitch keeps his 4-5 “squishies” (Murkowski, Collins, Romney, etc.) in his pocket, and keeps the overall mix near 50/50, he can have these Decepticons vote so as to have a decent “conservative voting record” knowing it will have NO effect on actual legislation…
Blackburn is like Grassley, she TALKS MAGA, in committee hearings, but she is one of Mitchs Bitchs,…
So yes, you DO have a big RINO problem; because MB didn’t get and stay where she is, without a RINO State party, putting her there and keeping her there.
But he thinks Johnson is great also.
You are correct Dutchman. Marsha Blackburn has yet to give a straight answer to regular emails about the goings on in congress. She airily responds about all the good she feels for Tennesseans and us good folks blah blah…
Yet she spends her time in TN, near Nashville/Brentwood or goes to Tri-Cities area, still talking a good game and being photographed but never doing anything that actually matters.
State party is RINO but Nashville isn’t the only place the state gets mega money. There is a butt ton of money in several parts of this state. Tourism is huge here as well. No state income tax means the people and business owners still hold a lot of power. The everyday people are solidly MAGA.
Her standing in front of cameras at SCOTUS when President Trump’s attorneys had oral arguments was weak. She said bupkis for the last years prior to that.
Hagerty rarely even responds to his office contact. He is a YUGE disappointment.
I truly hope those that voted for this maladministration have woken up and seen the light.

“From Calif., to Denver, to Maine, Cities at Breaking Point over Biden Border Crisis”
Excerpts:
With more than 40,000 migrants arriving since 2022, Denver is at a breaking point with the weight of the costs of delivering free housing, free medical care, free legal advice, free education for their children, and other things to migrants.
We want to continue to be a city that does not have women and children out on the street in tents in 20-degree weather,” he added. “And we also want to provide all our constituents with the services they deserve and the services that they expect.”
“This is a plan for shared sacrifice,” said Johnston said.
Johnston went on to propose cuts in services to city residents.
Hypocrisy at its finest. We want to give our constituents the services they deserve….but, we are going to cut those services to pay for criminals.

For some reason, when this man was running for Congress in the Tennessee primary, President Trump was persuaded to offer his endorsement to establishment figure Morgan Ortagus if she would run against Robby.

The Covid vaccines certainly did more harm than good. Will anything come of this? Probably not.
“Florida Grand Jury Releases Interim Report on COVID-19 Response Including COVID Vaccines, Says Response May Have Caused More Harm Than Good”
Excerpt:
Officials have been accused of stating that side effects were “extremely rare” and that vaccines could “prevent COVID-19 disease” with over 90% efficacy. Moreover, claims that vaccines were key to developing herd immunity and that they were “safe and effective as determined by data from the manufacturers” will be under the Grand Jury’s microscope.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/florida-grand-jury-releases-interim-report-covid-19/
claims that vaccines were key to developing herd immunity
THIS is the thing that bothers me the most. Fauci and others repeated over and over and over again that if only a certain percentage of people were vaccinated we could achieve herd immunity. Over and over and over …. but he knew the vaccine did not stop people from being infected or spreading the virus, it was only able to mitigate symptoms. If I have time today I’m going to collect as many quotes as I can find from that butt wipe. I remember he kept jacking up the percentage and then finally stopped talking about herd immunity. He needs to be in prison. He KNEW and he still lied to the public.
As early as December 2020 even the New York Times caught on to the fraud.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/24/health/herd-immunity-covid-coronavirus.html
How Much Herd Immunity Is Enough?
Scientists initially estimated that 60 to 70 percent of the population needed to acquire resistance to the coronavirus to banish it. Now Dr. Anthony Fauci and others are quietly shifting that number upward. (…)
In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70, 75 percent” in television interviews. And last week, in an interview with CNBC News, he said “75, 80, 85 percent” and “75 to 80-plus percent.”
In Jun 2022 he finally admitted we’re not going to have herd immunity from the COVID vaccine. (smh) I didn’t check though, he probably blamed it on people not getting boosted enough.

Liberals would count this non-affair/non-story among their peers as yesterday’s lunch. Heck, they do the funky fresh thing in federal buildings, post the debauchery online, and thinks it’s just people expressing themselves — or some such junk.
But fainting, fawning and ‘Oh NO!’s go out into the ether when they hear that a Republican took more than one cookie from the cookie jar.
Even when the cookie jar is their own.

I could not comment on the congressional puppet Turner’s claims about Russian space weapons, but I think you,Maquis,Alex and company would have found what I wish i could have put up interesting. Much of it speculation of course, but its from a source no one ever discusses here. I don’t want cloud it up here now. Perhaps another time, but I know you would guys would enjoy speculating on it. Slainte BK
Here are the two guys police detained yesterday in Kansas City. Gonna be difficult to pin this on MAGA.
Always amazed that they can’t get pics of the perps out there immediately.
There’s apparently a third one, I can’t find any pics at all of that person. No arrests yet, no mug shots, no names. I understand the police want to collect as much evidence as possible before releasing a lot of info to the public, but I think we all know if the suspects were white guys wearing MAGA hats their names would have been published 5 minutes after the shooting. 😳
Illegal gang related…
Citizens with phone cameras.
magadonian03: The media did their best not to cover the story, other than to say “somebody did something.”
Probably just some overenthusiastic “teens.”
I noticed the media, at least none I can find, is showing a picture of perp 2. I had to watch a video and do a screen grab to get that pic of the guy on the ground in the grey hoodie.
You’re so silly.
Obviously, the guns did it.
No guns, know peace.
Except for mine. They give me a very special peace of mind.
Mine too.
Uhh…. Detained for what?
Not all of us sit in front of the TV 24/7.
Kansas City Chiefs fans tackle gunman after deadly shooting at parade
https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-victory-parade-shooting-viral-video-fans-tackle-restrain-suspected-gunman-2502369-2024-02-15
It was posted yesterday. Shooting up the crowd celebrating the KC superbowl victory parade.
My guess is, they were shooting at each other. Not at the crowd. They were just turning their pistols sideways and firing full magazines.
Not all of us sit in front of the TV 24/7.
I don’t either.
I suggest checking the UK’s Daily Mail site once per day. They usually have a good selection of the biggest stories including many from the US like this one. http://www.dailymail.co.uk
Speaking of Daily Mail, I just went there and the top headline is:
Fury at ‘douchebag’ Travis Kelce for partying at sports bar just hours after 21 fans were shot – including NINE kids – and one killed in SB parade shooting: Mayor reveals child victims are aged 6-15
Kelce is a soul-less lib. He doesn’t care about strangers. He doesn’t care if a woman was killed or kids and adults were injured.
Sorry, I don’t follow “professional sports” (prima donnas), or celebrity gossip, and British papers are mostly the latter.
I have no idea what a “Kelce” is but I’ll bet it has nothing to due with taking back the country.
A Kelce is a douchebag, roped into having a fake romance with something called a Taylor Swift, in order to gyn up interest in the NFL, to make up for the fans lost due to political correctness woke bullshyte, …
Kinda like trying the Bud Lite rebranding, for the NFL.
as to him partying after, he was just following the script, and playing the part he was payed to play…
and a big who gives a rats a**,…?
Actually it probably does. Maybe you didn’t see the other post in today’s thread showing Kelce advertising the COVID vaccine. He is rumored to have earned $20 million for being the “two-fer” spokesperson (flu + COVID shots). And his for-pay fake girlfriend endorses Biden and is seen as a powerful political influencer (among the easily brainwased, FWIW). I won’t mention her name because you probably won’t recognize it either, since you don’t “sit in front of the TV 24/7”. 🤡
Really? That is called letting the terrorists win.
Yes, it is a tragedy. That is the terrorists goal after all.
If the response to terrorism is don’t do anything the terrorists don’t like, then the terrorists have won.
It is even worse when the response is to stop living your life.
DM is nothing but Terrorism.
It’s a really really bad look for anyone on that team to be partying it up after such a horrific event. But it’s to be expected, Kelce is a libtard. He doesn’t care.
Mass shooting in KC at the end of the Chiefs parade. It didn’t see the story on the TV, it was all over the internet.
DM usually does get the perp’s pics before the suppression by the State. Their rag may be mostly gossipy, low brow and stupid but have to credit them for their lightning speed reporting of these kinds of events .
And they will often publish information the US media will not publish.
Kennedy (the MTV chick turned FOX host) and Meghan McCain (barf) both write regular articles for DM. Neither one is MAGA but it’s refreshing to see harsh criticism of the Democrats, something we rarely see in the top US media.
Difficult, but they will try.
For quite some time, the GOP had conservatives convinced that their lobbyist friends and executive patrons on Wall Street were the good guys.
But the fusion of corporate and state interests created the anti- free market behemoth we face today.
This Uniparty force is bipartisan.
What congressman Mike Turner (R. OH) pulled yesterday is reprehensible beyond words. Terrifying citizens in order to get approval for more money laundering to Ukraine…He needs to be fired, sent home and work in a homeless shelter cleaning toilets. So thr
en the ppl (hacked machines) can “vote” in a Special Election, another Demonrat. I Can See Clearly Now….
Republicans are the biggest idiots in politics. Dims sitting back and telling themselves, “This is too easy.”
Donkeys drive the global fascist agenda, Elephants pretend to oppose it.
I’m confused by the timeline.
Johnson said he sent a letter to the White House last month asking for a meeting with Biden “to discuss a serious national security issue that is classified,” which prompted Thursday’s meeting. (source: NBC News)
Last month. This is not a brand new issue. It’s weeks old.
If it is anti satellite weapons in orbit the ongoing issue is years old.
Maybe there is a new twist or development that we have known about for months.
But his Ukraine trip is days old. So too the House saying the Ukraine funding bill is dead. And there is also a FISA bill to continue to spy on America.
Come to think about it, if last month’s issue is so urgent, how dare he abandon it and take a trip to Ukraine?
It can’t be due to the dead funding bill or due to some outcome of Turner’s trip if Johnson requested a meeting about the matter last month.
And just to be clear, it was Turner who travelled to Ukraine, but Johnson was the one who requested a meeting with the White House last month. Turner is the chair of HPSCI.
Theories are great but they have to fit with the known evidence.
More Russia/Putin …boogeyman…..don’t tell me you dont see a pattern?
Years old.
And actually (as usual) the U.S. started it, with Space Based Weopons, and tjen they blame it on the Russians when they respond, in order to justify more billions invested,..what a scam.
I don’t think anybody is terrified. It’s not something really scary like a Chinese balloon.
Ukraine “foreign aid” bills are taxpayer-funded stimulus packages for the parasites of the D.C. Beltway
Setting the record straight on money allocated “for Ukraine.”
JORDAN SCHACHTEL
First and foremost, the government does not create jobs. Let me repeat: the government does not and cannot create jobs. This is especially true for the no-bid Beltway defense behemoths, which have become increasingly centralized with increasingly bloated budgets and profit margins over time.
For example, let’s consider this $95 billion Ukraine bill that just passed the Senate and is being debated before the House. If that bill passes and it is signed into law, they will proceed to print $95 billion dollars and distribute the money to an increasingly centralized list of Beltway-based mega corporations that includes Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the gang.
Despite allocating $820 billion annually to the Defense Department, the government could once more not find the necessary funds to support Ukraine. Surprise! So they need $95 billion more dollars ($60 billion allocated “for Ukraine”, on top of the hundreds of billions already dumped into the Slava Slush Fund. Given that the U.S. is running a $1.7 trillion annual deficit, that means all $95 billion will be added to the $34.23 trillion in debt that is currently on the books.
Moreover, by printing $95 billion dollars, the government therefore will debase the value of all of our dollars, and this will result in further inflation. In short, everyone BUT the Beltway defense industrial crowd gets screwed. No real value is created, and fiscal harm is imposed upon the rest of the country.
Through these top down, anti-market measures, Congress siphons off precious resources from the American economy, and uses them to make bombs and weapons for Anatoliy’s journey into the meat grinder.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFICATION Hearing in Trump Prosecution [Day 1 Live]
By Robert Gouveia
15 Feb 2024
https://rumble.com/v4dgrvi-fani-willis-disqualification-hearing-in-trump-prosecution-day-1-live.html
Nathan Wade to the stand.
His attorney says, Motion to quash should be granted. She doesn’t want to put him on the stand.
TOO BAD! SO SAD!
Fat Fani reimbursed Wade in cash for
allsome of their travels.Nathan Wade Grilled About History Of His Romantic Relationship With Fani Willis
( 12 min 46 )
Nathan Wade Takes Over 15 Seconds To Decide If He’s Ever Been To A Cabin With Fani Willis
Breaktime. Quick review by Robert.
Nathan Wade back on the stand in 5 minutes LIVE!
Attorney accidentally (?) calls Wade Mr. Willis. 🙂 🙂 🙂
And again.
In addition to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis paying her lover Nathan Wade nearly $700,000 of taxpayer funds, Fani also spread the money from the Fulton County coffers to Terrence Ahmed Bradley, who is Nathan Wade’s divorce attorney/tenant.
So basically, while Fani was having an affair with a married man (Nathan Wade), she used $75,000 of Fulton County taxpayer money to pay for her lover’s divorce lawyer’s fees.
Her lover Nathan Wade is the landlord for his divorce lawyer, as I have also uncovered that Wade is the owner of the office space that his lawyer Terrence Ahmed Bradley rents from him. He’s owned the space since 2017.
Additionally, records also reveal that Fani Willis also funneled $126,070 to another attorney named Christopher Campbell, who just happens to be Nathan Wade’s law partner.
This looks like potential money laundering of Fulton County, Georgia taxpayer funds by the corrupt, anti-Trump, Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis.
RECEIPTS! 👇🏻 I have prepared a 4 image breakdown of the receipts below.
Fani is now on the stand and issuing demands to everyone on what she wants. Including a glass of water.
And they all just jumped to her bidding.
“The testimony of one witness is enough to prove a fact.”
~Fani Willis
Please make that come back to haunt her in her fraudulent RICO cases.
She said this after telling the attorney that she had no receipts for the cash she gave Wade to “reimburse” him for the travel he charged to his business credit card. In other words, her words are gold.
ALL the testimony, all the affidavits, all of the ABSOLUTE CRIMINAL FRAUD MUST BE ALLOWED IN!
What a witch. She is still ordering everyone around, calling the attorney a liar, throwing hissy fits. The attorney, the judge. Totally unprofessional, and the judge has already admonished her once.
She really, really, really like’s talking about herself.
The worst thing to me probably, and it’s all bad, is that she gave taint work to Wade’s partner in addition to hiring Wade. The two should never mix.
Oh, and both she and the “brilliant” attorney Wade played D U M B on the rules governing public servants, gifts, etc.
She was like Kasich and his mailman dad when it came to telling us she got lots of death threats because of the fraudulent cases against President Trump and all of the others. In the brief time she was on the stand she got it in at least 50 times. WHAAAAAAAAA!
She was really lonely during COVID.
Her 49th BDay sucked.
I’m tellin’ ya’, she’s got cash stashed all over the house and I bet if the a**wipes who raided MAL raided Fani and her boy toy, you’d find gold bars thrown in suitcases too.
More Fun with Fat Fani tomorrow and more other witnesses. They will not finish tomorrow. It will drag into next week.
Just the normal type of psy op where celebrities make their private love life public to increase their “value”.
At least we don’t have wierd nicknames for this one like Benifer. Yet.
Exactly. Let’s see how long this “relationship” lasts now that most of the money to be made from it has already been paid out.
We know the script. Taylor breaks up with boyfriend and writes a song about it.
Swift Travis-ty comes to mind. 🙂
His jersey sales increased by 400%. That’s some added value.
From 10 to 40?
TraTay.
We can start our own weird name for two weird people.
They’re the TraTay, like RayRay or JayJay, but there’s two of ’em.
No they are well known liberals, but the vast majority of TwitneySwift music is listened by girls not old enough to vote
Could Taylor Swift really swing the 2024 presidential election?
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/feb/08/taylor-swift-2024-presidential-election
Actually no. According to Statista, 89 percent of her fans are Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millenials. Her fans apparently have grown older like she has. And the remaining Gen Z has a large proportion able to vote in 2024.
The idea of a psy op is so stupid it makes me believe our government could be doing it.
ok, so 85% Gen X and Millennials and 4% Boomers maybe.
The thought did occur that those juvenile females have parents and adult relatives. If nothing else those females are well-trained and innately skilled in the art of changing hearts and minds.
Ask any father who’s ever had a daughter. 🙂
“Yup, all’s ya gotta do is put on these bandaids and hold a plate of cookies.”
Taylor is a fan of the Kennedys and friends with Ethel.
Wouldn’t she want to boost RFK Jr.’s campaign?
It’s tricky though. Her BF is a big vaxx freak.
I watched the Jim McGreevey saga for years while people thought he was a normal husband, family man, and politician. To those few of us who actually pay attention, critically think, and do a little research, you could see it was a total fake and a conspiracy involving numerous high level NJ (& others) Uniparty Democrats & Republican criminal actors and media. I told people this for years, and was heavily criticized, but when I was finally vindicated, only one person apologized and gave me credit for knowing.
My point friend clarion, is that these type of conspiracies/psyops do exist and involve many multiple people and include politicians, actors,musicians etc etc
Pervert Anthony Weiner & Muslim Brotherhood agent Huma Abedin would be another, and the proof for that for me was Abedin’s emails being on Weiner’s laptop. Both I believe were agents for foreign governments.
Cheers
That’s interesting about Ethel, cuz years ago Tay got dissed at a Kennedy wedding when she was the +1 that wasn’t on the list.
It’s working on you.
The stock market remains relatively strong. However, there is evidence of a toppy formation. Despite the United States government being in a total mess, I am beginning to think Trump MAGA is having a psychological influence every bit as much as the Deep State totalitarian democrat manipulators.
I am of the belief had Trump remained in the Oval Office the stock market by now would be trading well in the 40,000’s and perhaps more likely in the 50,000’s. There are signals suggesting the stock market is due a downside correction and precaution being the prudent stance as to the stock market investor approach.
Agree and am surprised it hasn’t already happened except for the liquidity pump, reverse repo window & BTFP propping it up.
Things will be very interesting after 3/11.
Remember the market nosedive just before the 2016 election? And it made the most miraculous improvement as soon as Trump was delcared the winner? Investors knew even then that Trump would be good for the economy and Clinton would not. And now Trump has proven himself.
You might have posted this before, but generically, how are you playing the market? An index fund?
I use the Dow Jones Index. However, the technical indicators will work the same with any market. They will work the same with livestock, metals, grains, financial instruments, etc. I chose the Dow Jones because everyone knows the Dow Jones and I don’t have to do any explaining.
Since I got out over a decade ago I hadn’t really looked since Xiden took over but whoa, the change to today has got to be manipulated. No way economic factors support that.
If only folks realized how much power their retirement funds and 401K’s, etc, wield and how giving over their assets to the enemy, the financial industry, is bankrolling that enemy’s allies, the Communist government.
Oh, well.
You hit it square in the head. The last time I looked at the combined “Planners” such as BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, etc. control 26-trillion the People’s money. This is greater than many of Nations around the World.
They have successfully propagandized the people to think of their 401-ks as solely a tax-deferment vehicle and not an income generating accumulating vehicle. I do think we are at the cusp of a new innovation as to how people regard their retirement account. As with any innovation, it will take 20 years before it becomes mainstream.
Good observation
I seriously doubt the one part of this headline that says “Krebs Is In Big Trouble”. Just like every other official that knew there was factual evidence of widespread fraudulent activity, nothing will be done. However, TGP is doing a decent job highlighting the problems.
“EXCLUSIVE: Former CISA Chief Chris Krebs LIED Under Oath When He Said 2020 Was Most Secure Election Ever — Now We Have the DOCUMENTED PROOF! And Krebs is in BIG Trouble!”
Excerpts:
On Monday, we released information on a secret 2020 Election Day phone call organized by The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
CISA describes itself as the operational lead for federal cybersecurity and the national coordinator for critical infrastructure security and resilience. However, since its founding, CISA has morphed into a much more sinister and politicized organization.
CISA’s analysis of the available data for assessed El entities found:
76% of El entities for which CISA performed a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) had spearphishing weaknesses, which provide an entry point for adversaries to launch attacks;48% of entities had a critical or high severity vulnerability on at least one internet-accessible host, 4 providing potential attack vectors to adversaries;39% of entities ran at least one risky service on an internet-accessible host, providing the opportunity for threat actors to attack otherwise legitimate services; and34% of entities ran unsupported operating systems (OSs) on at least one internet-accessible host, which exposes entities to compromise.How can 2020 be considered a “secure” election when 76% of Election Infrastructure had spearfishing weaknesses, and 48% of the entities had a critical or high vulnerability on at least one internet-accessible host?
The CISA report then proceeds to describe how election officials can correct these vulnerabilities in the system. Obviously, this means the vulnerabilities are still accessible to foreign actors.
Of those vulnerabilities, 319 (0.80 percent) were of critical severity
1,820 (4.55 percent) were of high severity based on the CVSS base score.
Source: CISA Report
On page fifteen of the report – Officials found another 451 vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the systems.

Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens [Princeton University, 2014]
Excerpts:
A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. We report on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system [that describes the overwhelming influence of the administrative state and lobbyists – W], even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
To be sure, this does not mean that ordinary citizens always lose out; they fairly often get the policies they favor, but only because those policies happen also to be preferred by the economically-elite citizens who wield the actual influence.

BREAKING: Attorney Sues FBI for Records about CIA Asset Who Funded OKC Bombing
‘The ARA was actually a front group created by the FBI in which the Bureau had embedded at least one informant…’
February 9, 2024
https://headlineusa.com/breaking-attorney-sues-fbi-for-records-about-cia-asset-who-funded-okc-bombing/
I believe it. Someone is this organization just loves the word Aryan.
How about “51 former intel officials sign letter affirming the Epstien operation has ALL THE HALLMARKS of a CIA/Mossad Intel operation.”?
I just read the George Soros “is buying up 100’s of radio stations” in order to influence the 2024 elections.
My question to anyone who cares to offer up an explanation is, “Given that most American voters to not know who George Soros is or what he has done in his life that they should be concerned about, WHY hasn’t Donald Trump made this ugly man and his machinations the subject of his campaign? There is nothing but a long list of horrible things he’s done. I would think Trump would wish to let voters know about them?”
Think of the conservative voices that Soros can silence by buying these radio stations. Think of all that his money has bought to bring down the Republic.
He’s a misanthropist.
Teach Americans a new word.
And, Mr. President, use a poster’s words: “That’s the first thing tyrants do when they takeover a country… They take over the communications.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/left-wing-billionaire-george-soros-buying-hundreds-american/
he has been trying to silence the Spanish radio stations that abound in the west. Hispanics are family oriented and Conservative socially.
The radio station purchases are more likely because of the Radio Frequency Bandwidth. Since, the bandwidth can’t be produced, and operates within a spectrum, he is buying all of the stations, so when the world becomes automated, all of the robots will be able to talk to each other.
So yes, he is accomplishing the shutdown of political discourse, and ultimately killing off mankind, in one purchase. Pretty diabolical, if you ask me, and should be halted.
The government wants to ban HAM radio, also. Which operates and has it’s own bandwidth, within the frequency spectrum.
Guess we will have to rely on smoke signals to communicate the rebellion with each other or maybe the pony express gets revived.
French citizenship row engulfs Indian Ocean island of Mayotte
14 Feb 2024
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68292604
A constitutional change to this effect is now to be pursued by the government. Crucially the end of “birthplace citizenship” would apply only to the island of Mayotte – not to France as a whole.
But therein lies the rub. For different reasons, both the left and right of French politics see the reform as problematic.
The left says it is a breach of the Republican principle of universality, and opens the door to a citizenship based on racial origin.
The right says that changing the rules for Mayotte are fair enough, but it is in France as a whole that “birthplace citizenship” needs to be abandoned.
Too little too late, but better than nothing.
Will Islam Take over Europe?

Will Islam take over Europe?By Eva Kneifel
Even if all migration into Europe were to immediately and permanently stop -– a “zero migration” scenario -– the Muslim population of Europe still would be expected to rise from the current level of 4.9% to 7.4% by the year 2050, according to a 2017 report from Pew Research.
This is because Muslims are younger (by 13 years, on average) and have higher fertility (one child more per woman, on average) than other Europeans, mirroring a global pattern.
This is just the least-migration-filled scenario. The report states that a second, “medium” migration scenario assumes that all refugee flows will stop as of mid-2016 but that recent levels of “regular” migration to Europe will continue (i.e., migration of those who come for reasons other than seeking asylum).
Under these conditions, Muslims could reach 11.2% of Europe’s population in 2050.
…
…
At the same time, the birth rates of the long-established European population would continue to decline. The integration of these Muslim migrants will pose major challenges for European states – and significantly increase the potential for civil wars and extremists.
The civil war against “infidel” Europe has long since begun. The historic third wave of attacks against the bulwark of Europe (Bernhard Lewis) is Islam’s most successful conquest campaign in modern times. Muslims everywhere speak openly about their intention to Islamize our continent.
The following highlights very current civil war scenarios from European countries.
This war is still being waged solely by immigrant Muslims against the European majority population, who have been left defenseless against attacks by Muslims so far and who, without exception, have been abandoned by their own governments.
But governments that do not protect their populations quickly lose their legitimacy -– a look at history shows this. The first Europeans have already begun to defend themselves against the Islamic threat by casting out their elected officials. This will continue.
(Emphasis mine.)
Yes, via the senile puppet’s handlers, more predicatbly stupid.
Putin: Biden Better for Russia Than Trump, ‘More Predictable’
14 Feb 2024
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/14/putin-biden-better-russia-trump-more-predictable/
Nathan Wade takes the stand
Wade is an awful witness – to himself. It is completely obvious to me that he has not gone back and reconstructed the relationship timeline with Ms W. The examining counsel will only have his bank statements, divorce affidavit etc to pin down the time line. This is what is taking the time to harvest on the stand.
I would say that examining counsel has not got him on exactly when the relationship began – there is meant to be testimony from another witness on that.
The holiday saga – they were going on regular cruises, he paid with his credit card and then she paid him back in cash except one trip which he admitted to. They were definitely living the good old high life whilst working on the case.
Wade is not particularly quick on his feet during the examination, he is methodical but obvious when he becomes evasive.
He has not shown enough intellectual savvy to justify why he was hired for the current county case.
I think the “she paid me in cash” was contrived by his defense lawyers. I mean … come on.
Gotta ask,…
IF these Lawfare cases were truly intended to destroy the existential threat that is ‘orange man bad’ by imprisoning him for 700+ years, wouldn’t you think they would have scoured the earth to get the BEST and most impeccable prosecutors, to make absolutely sure they put him away?
Instead, this operation obviously coordinated from the WH and DOJ, seems to have recruited the dregs, the most ‘peccable’ least IMPECCABLE, ignorant of the law asshats to prosecute these cases, virtually guaranteeing they would blow up long before reaching the point of conviction.
Poor staff work,…or intentional?
The top level lawyers would not touch this with a disinfected barge pole. It is political, ill conceived and weak.
In my experience, public prosecuting/defending work tends to be filled with a range of competencies, that is the kindest way l can say it
There are exceptions however, when you get a really smart young counsel before the court, they tend to perhaps be in areas that interest them etc.
We have a situation here where both these individuals have more power than competency.
Reiner Fuellimich is an important German lawyer trying to bring the perpetrators of the Plandemic to justice.
May the treehouse keep Him in our minds and hearts.
Dr. Reiner Fuellmich led an international team of lawyers and physicians compiling what they said was irrefutable proof that the Covid global vaccination program was a coordinated effort to intentionally murder or maim millions of people. The planned “Nuremberg 2.0” trial exposing vaccine manufacturers, governments, and politicians who forced these bioweapons/killshots on their populations was derailed. In October 2023 Fuellmich was seized at the German Embassy in Mexico while on a passport errand, abducted to Frankfurt and arrested. Imprisoned for weeks without due process, he is currently on trial in Germany for what is widely viewed as fake charges of embezzlement, a “lawfare” attack designed to silence him.

President Trump stating they have it all back in August 2020.
He says, “They have all been caught. Let’s see what happens to them.”
Well if they have it all they had better do something now because we are falling fast and by the election there might not be much left to save. Who will expose and then bring them to justice?
The destruction is breaking loose all over or at least the media is hyping that it is. Like a snowball rolling down a steep hill, the breaking of the American people and our Constitution is picking up speed everyday. What is the real truth?
Fry is a very poor choice to depict as a thinker. Pretty much all of the characters on that show are poor thinkers, but Fry stands below them all, except for a few golden moments that he quickly undermines.
Does that mean that what is in the meme is not true or it is not ‘good’ because Frye is a poor choice to depict as a thinker? So when Biden said that they set up the greatest vote fraud organization in history (paraphrase) we should discount it because he is a complete evil moron?
Just means I’m guilty of a bad taste in entertainment.
But unlike Biden, Fry is likeable and not evil. Moron though was the whole plot of Futurama. Moron pizza delivery boy gets trapped in a cryogenic facility to emerge 1000 years later where he tries to escape being condemned to a future as a delivery man only to take a job as a delivery boy. Well, plot of the first episode.
No, you have good taste in entertainment! You’re over thinking this. It’s doubly hilarious because “Fry” has even figured out what the Leftist dullards can’t or, more likely, won’t!
The meme is inherently flawed, because of its WRONG, as in incorrect, focus on DEMOCRATS as being the perpetrators of election fraud.
PLENTY of evidence that 2020 election could NOT have been stolen without activecparticipatoon by REPUBLICAN officials.
Steven Richer and Bill Gates in Maracopa County, installed by the AZ State R party, Ratsburger and Kemp in Ga, Republicans actively and passively supportedthe stealing of elections in 2020 and 2022, and any meme which continues to give RINO Republicants a pass, by blaming DEMOCRATS for the theft, is perperuating a myth, and so giving cover to those that need to be exposed.
And there is PLENTY of evidence of REPUBLICAN Complicity!
I’m familiar with “Futurama” and with “Fry”. “Fry” being used in this meme works the comedy angle. If even “Fry” has figured these things out, than it must be obvious!

Wikipedia probably disputes that, you putin lover you! lol.
Is it me?? Am I the only one who feels we are living in an alternative universe?
I knew after two weeks from returning to the country of my birth after twenty years away something was amiss.
But never did I imagine it would come to this.

Unqualified Defense Ministers Anand in Canada & Austin here, have been working to degrade/injure/kill our military to render it ineffective for when war breaks out. More than likely here and abroad.
James Burnham’s “managers”?
Re Canada…Pot meet kettle…honestly, Colkitto, I am sick of seeing women in charge. They screw up everything. All for “equity”.
Here??
Obama purged patriot brass from the armed forces. That was the start of the rot.
Then Biden et al classified the troops as guinea pigs and injected them with a DoD bioweapon.
The more I extrapolate what this means, the sicker I feel.
No, its NOT you. Its the World of Men, which has tilted on its axis, and is wobbling.
We have to see it, dutch, in order to try…I say TRY…to right it. We need some Help 🙏🏻
We desperately need to humble ourselves and ask for His mercy.
Here is your Neocon war with Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. The wrong countries got bombed & invaded and the same organizations that tried to coup and hamstring our President Donald J Trump was also part of it. Not one person was ever held accountable. These war criminals I would not doubt are involved with the now the mass murder of innocent Israelis, looking for their WWIII Global “Reset”. PDJT & MAGA were thwarting these evil people.

Climate Change Cult Nuts Strike Again.
“Constitution’s display at the National Archives destroyed by climate terrorists”
Excerpt:
these kids weren’t protesting abortion, which robs black and brown babies of their right to life at a disproportionate rate compared to white babies, and they weren’t protesting the tyranny afflicting people of all colors at the hands of the “wealthy white men” who dominate Congress, and they weren’t protesting the big government that sustains itself by cheating and thieving all Americans—these kids were demanding that Joe Biden declare a “climate emergency” and make “full use of his executive authority” to issue diktats and decrees supporting the leftist. “green” agenda.”
Naturally this bothers me for myriad reasons, but to be fair to the cretins, it’s not like the document is even relevant anymore.
The state sovereignty articulated in the Tenth Amendment? I hate to break it to you, but nearly every single one of the more than 430 federal agencies has seized tremendous authority that the federal government had no right to take, and nearly every single one of these agencies has no right to exist… per the Constitution
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/02/constitutions_display_at_the_national_archives_destroyed_by_climate_terrorists.html
And the people remain unknowing and uncaring in matters like this. Barely a small blip on their daily lives yet it is another tremendous blow to everything our American foundation stands for. It is an unfolding tragedy that we are destroying ourselves through ignorance and neglect of our civic duties to recognize our rights and care about protecting them. We the people have great power given us in our Constitution and we willfully ignore that it is being shredded.
Stormy Time, on the horizon.

This is NYC DA Bragg’s NY contrived/ Lawfare created election law violation case, I believe – another stretching the law to find and create a claimed violation …- he needs his 15 minutes
Will it be a secret, under the covers, jury? Just like in the New York, E. Jean Carroll, trial?
Poor Trump, doesn’t stand a chance, in this one.
IMO
All preordained at the trial level for sure —
Ironic though that this supposed election law violation case ( relating to the 2016 election ?! ) is actually a case of attempted election interference in the upcoming 2024 election … Do you think Bragg had some meetings at the WH , or maybe at least a phone call or two ?
I look forward to Trump’s attorney’s cross-examination of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer.
“You’ve been convicted of lying under oath to Congress, haven’t you Mr. Cohen?”
“So are you lying under oath now?”
Suggestion – substitute. “ So are you lying under oath AGAIN?” for word now …
Wait a minute. She lost her case against Trumpand HAD TO PAY HIM! How does that not count and why is this being brought up again?
NYs is an embarrassment to America. It is a lawless mess where the law is made up by corrupt DAs and judges to concoct ridiculous cases against anyone they dislike.
The SC should make mincemeat out of these disgusting people who are masquerading as law enforcers. It’s incredible this is going on in America. We have fallen so low and it continues to get worse.

Canada chips in $60M for Ukraine’s F-16 supplies
Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair speaks with reporters as NATO allies gather in Brussels for a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
He announces Canada will send Ukraine $60 million to help source supplies and equipment for its F-16 fighter aircraft.
Germany promised military aid to Ukraine worth 100 million euro
100 million euro. A pittance compared to our 200 -billion-
UK prepares for conflict with Putin:
Hundreds of army vehicles head to Poland
British Army protected trucks convoy to Europe for NATO’s Steadfast Defender
Several British Army convoys of Ridgeback & Mastiff protected patrol vehicles, bridge transporters, engineering vehicles and more travel through Hampshire, UK for loading onto ships en route to major NATO Exercise Steadfast Defender.
The 4 wheeled drive Ridgeback & 6 wheeled drive Mastiff Protected Patrol Vehicles are heavily armoured and designed with a large cage surrounding them to protect against projectiles.
They are used for patrols in conflicted areas to protect convoys, transport casualties, and any other combat needs.
Also seen are Alvis Unipower Tank Bridge Transporters, Iveco Trakkers transporting JCBs, Oshkosh Heavy Equipment Transporters with JCBs & Terrier Armoured Diggers, Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicles, Land Rover escort vehicles and MAN Logistic Support Vehicles & Recovery.
These are just a small fraction of the vehicles that are being deployed.
Ministry of Defence contracted Roll-on, Roll-off ship ‘MV Anvil Point’ shipped some of the vehicles seen in this video to Emden, Germany for Exercise Brilliant Jump 24 in Poland.
This is a test of NATO’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF), before proceeding onto other exercises hosted by other countries under the wider Steadfast Defender exercise.

‘We should not undermine NATO’s deterrence credibility’,
Stoltenberg says in rebuke to Donald Trump
US gridlock over Ukraine aid is ‘already’ having consequences on the battlefield, warns Stoltenberg
The idea that the USA is responsible for funding a war that is 6000 miles from our country and no threat whatsoever to us is pure made up garbage to extort money from the U.S. taxpayers without their permission. While humanitarian aid is worth sending to help the victims and should be limited, sending war money which is not tracked or accountable by anyone is an absolute NO WAY, or should be. The greedy corrupt DC cabal and others around the world are grabbing it hand over fist and are covering their disgusting deeds that we will never know about.
Every American citizen taxpayer should be objecting loudly to their govt. that this must stop. The needs of the American people must come first since it is their hard earned money sent to DC to help our citizens and country. However, it is like everything else. The people are fed lies which they accept without question and just continue to work and send their tax money to the criminals who use it anyway they choose and keep whatever they want to for themselves. At least that’s what it seems like as more and more info is revealed. When is enough, enough? When are people going to understand what is being done to them?

GEMAN PRAVDA – Putin and Trump: a new axis against NATO and Ukraine?
Donald Trump sounds like an extortionist.
It is a blunt warning (…) and a taste of what’s to come should he return to the presidency.
Ukraine is also planning to challenge Russia with new military leadership and a new strategy.
2:30 – Do we want to deal with Trump’s remarks every day?
10:10 -Trump’s words sound like an invitation for Putin.

Except these…
A preview of the WHO Treaty which will be voted upon on May 24.
Biden’s puppeteers intend to sign. The depraved hole into which the world has sunk has no bottom.
Amen and Amen! Any treaty approved by the Senate can be terminated. Giving up our sovereignty is a violation of the Constitution. Besides who is going to enforce the Who Treaty if we just ignore it or terminate it the UN? My guess the treaty will easily pass with help from Republicans, McConnell and his sycophant DeceptiCon Senators!!! How much damage that Treaty can do before President Trump gets reelected for the 3rd time I don’t know but Democrats/Uniparty will do as much damage as quickly as they can!!! More destruction of the country is coming!!!
The deepest pit of hell.
Now it’s up to the people to replace the law and the lawmakers
You can not, and do not try to negotiate with an armed mugger or carjacker.
They want us all dead. Depopulation agenda in full swing.
Exactly.
Tucker goes grocery shopping in Russia.
Think you’re furious now trying to pay for yours???
Think again.
The “wrecking” is purposeful by our own elected and unelected government!!! And it’s going to get worse!!!
Oh THANKS, Martin!!👍🏻
Tucker is a bit misguided. Perhaps he hasn’t heard of the Inflation Reduction Act and the universal benefits for the American People. In reality, we are too stupid to know how good we have it and are ingrates to our gracious overlords. Ask the regime, they will tell you.
Oh I think he understands….now.
Before he interviewed Putin??
He may have had an inkling. But as he is wealthy in his own right, not as we plebs on the ground do.
Many degrees of separation between what he may have thought he knew and what he knows now.
He’ll be better at what he does as a result.
Is Ukraine the biggest criminal money laundering operation of the crime cartel masquerading as “government”? It’s not. It’s just so obvious.
For better or worse (and I certainly hope better) it’s coming to an end.
BOOM, Frank!!!!
Don’t tell me we’re not seeing the hand of Almighty God exposing the wickedness, and at the same time, causing the scales to fall from our eyes.
I often ponder how much good could be done with the misspent confiscatory taxes we are forced to pay…and the seemingly endless billions poured into politics by donors who don’t give a tinker’s damn about the suffering all around them.

There’s a guy who says there is a lot going on in Antarctica, including a lot of unusual military technology, which I’m sure Iran would love to control.

Well, Antartica is the best place, other than the dark side of the moon, to do stuff with subterfuge.

Sen. Manchin has floated Mittens Romney as his VP choice as he considers a Presidential run. lol
It’s nerve raking, democrats winning all these elections, for Congress and taking the house in Pa?
This is the worst presidency in history
Yet they win!!!
And so many Republicans not running for their seats again
Good riddance, as any stepping down now are the “worst of the worst” RINOS, evidenced BY them stepping down,…like McCarthy who is leading the charge out.
Perhaps they know something.
Who’s voting for that ticket?
interesting analysis and discussion
Another State Bans Home Equity Theft
👇
This goes on with lots of things – Say you buy a brand new car and pay cash for it which would include the taxes on said vehicle.
Say you buy a car for 50 grand and lets say you pay 10% tax on it – which would be a total of 55,000
In 4 years you sell the car and it has a book value of 30,000 grand – Party number two pays ANOTHER 3000 on said vehicle? Why no refund for the 1st buyer from the state?
So the state is up 3 grand and owner number 1 loses 3 grand – The state is UP 6000 dollars
in 2 years the car is sold again for 17,000 Party number 3 pays 1700 in taxes – The State is up 7700 dollars and seller number 2 is out 1300 dollars
I think some states do reimburse a portion of the tax… but not many do..and its a fight to get it…
Think about all the transactions with autos – the figures are staggering… and never mind if YOU made a profit on the vehicle after you sold it
All tax is EXTORTION, so there can never be a “fair” system of taxation.
Just degrees of unfairness.
Irantica…..

The Russians sent a message through Ukrainian frequencies that if the Ukrainian armed forces surrendered Avdeevka, they would be allowed to withdraw their soldiers and save lives. The Russians proposed a safe corridor for the Ukrainian troops to use to withdraw to the rear areas.
No answer.
However, about 50 Ukrainian soldiers did manage to reach Russian lines and surrendered.
And the neocons want to keep this pitiful destruction going for their pockets and those of BlackRock and the west.
would you trust Russian assurances?
Trust is built up over time,…and my understanding (and no, I am not going to cite my sources!) is that out of enlightened self interest, Russia has made a point of treating surrendering UKE forces well.
You reward behavior that you want to encourage, and punish behavior you want to discourage.
Since you want enemy forces to surrender, cause its to your benefit in the conduct of the war, you treat surrendering enemy forces with respect, render medical care to their wounded, etc.
Its just common sense,..
Actually, yes I would.
I would trust Russian assurances. I would not trust NATO OR Ukrainian assurances.

That is what happens when you lie. One lie upon another. All lies have consequences.
Dates aren’t corresponding with previous testimony. Oops.
“Fani Pounded As Nathan Wade Testifies To Cash Money Reimbursements And Former Friend Flushes Her Defense”
Excerpt:
Appearing before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee via Zoom, Yeartie said Willis and Wade may have begun dating in October or November 2019, shortly after the two met at the conference that year.
During questioning from Sadow, who is representing Trump in the case, Yeartie testified that Willis told her she was engaged in a romantic relationship with Wade in 2020 and 2021, and said she witnessed “hugging, kissing,” and “just affection” between the two before November 2021, when Wade was hired by Willis. -CBS News
