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.

Get ready Pennsylvania!!
President Trump is coming there today and he is bringing his rally team.
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a Rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. EDT. You can watch LIVE on RSBN starting at 3:00pm ET.
RSBN’s coverage is normally carried here on the Treehouse and can also be found at the RSBN website.
https://www.rsbnetwork.com
There is nothing like a President Trump Rally’s coverage from 4 hours before he comes on stage until he wraps it up. RSBN’s reporters interview the people standing in line and will show the crowd standing in line and then inside after they fill up the venue.
Pennsylvania, officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has “Keystone State” as its nickname. It was the “Keystone State”, because it was the middle colony of the original thirteen colonies, and because Pennsylvania has held a key position in the economic, social, and political development of the United States.
Pennsylvania’s motto, Virtue, Liberty and Independence, first appeared on the Pennsylvania coat of arms designed by Caleb Lownes in 1778.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
I am GOING!
I live less than 10 miles from the venue.
Not sure tho if we’ll actually get in tho as my friend with the tickets cannot pick me up until about 2:15 or so.
Only one state road (309) up to / down to the location.
Traffic will be “nutz’d” as they say here in PA.
I drove up to the venue after dinner last night to have a look around and vendors were setting up, volunteers being taken in for training and the traveling groupies already lined up in the first row of parking in the adjacent field.
I picked up some swag. Very difficult conditions for the vendors with high winds and rain yesterday but should be calmer and dry today.
I found it interesting that almost ALL of the vendors I spoke with were from the ‘south’ and had nothing but good things to say about PDJT and MAGA peeps.
We ALL know that the assertions that PDJT is racist are absurd, and they are.
I gave them the name of a great BBQ place nearby if they want some fantastic ribs and chicken and such. Grumpy’s BBQ Roadhouse!
Stay MAGA!!
We will look for you!
I guess you will be wearing a red hat?
Haha, that will be a sure identifier in a Trump rally.
Woo-hoo! MAGA!
Amen and Amen!

Thanks for this, I highly recommend, he provides very clear timelines and explanations of who and what are all the parties involved. Definitely worth the 43 minutes.
Ain’t that the truth!
May the J6 farce be with you.
DC National Guard whistleblowers to say they WERE ready to be deployed on January 6 on Trump’s orders hours but were held back by the Pentagon in bombshell testimony contradicting Capitol riot committee’s story

My first thought is how pathetic that it should take over three years for him to speak up, or have an opportunity to testify, but I listened to Geoff Shepard on WarRoom this morning describing the carefully planned and executed lawfare coup the IC and Co. committed against President Nixon, including a large number of private meetings with the very judges involved, and a lot of this information is becoming available 50 years later!
It occurred to me that they’ve picked up their game since the Nixon days, and their experiences against President Trump will serve them the next time a legally elected President tries to actually be president.
This Republic was hopelessly lost a long time ago, it’s just that now that the neo-Marxist/Maoist “march through the institutions” is adequately complete, the CCP virus installed Manchurian Candidate manipulated by the CCP’s domestic fellow travelers in “his” regime are stepping on the accelerator to do as much damage as possible in the four year window that might close temporarily during the possible four years of Speed Bump Trump. As Dan Bongino and others have said, one couldn’t DESIGN policies more destructive to the US than the CCP tool regime.
Deep Throat (Watergate)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate)
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Associate Director Mark Felt was Deep Throat.
Mark Felt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt
(After high school) went to Washington, D.C., to work in the office of Democratic U.S. Senator James P. Pope. Felt stayed on with Pope’s successor in the Senate, David Worth Clark (D-Idaho). He attended the George Washington University Law School at night, earning his J.D. degree in 1940, and was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar in 1941
In the early 1970s, Felt had supervised Operation COINTELPRO, initiated by Hoover in the 1950s. This period of FBI history has generated great controversy for its abuses of private citizens’ rights. In 1976, Felt publicly stated he had ordered break-ins and recommended against punishment of individual agents who had carried out orders.
The jury returned guilty verdicts on November 6, 1980, two days after the presidential election. The charge carried a maximum sentence of ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine; on December 15, Judge William B. Bryant fined Felt $5,000 and Miller $3,500, but imposed no jail time for either.
In a phone call on January 30, 1981, Edwin Meese encouraged President Ronald Reagan to issue a pardon. After further encouragement from Felt’s former colleagues, President Reagan pardoned Felt and Miller. The pardon was signed on March 26, but due to the assassination attempt on March 30, was not announced to the public until April 15, 1981.
I read that Felt did this as revenge against Nixon for passing him over for FBlie director.
Just the kind of person you want as an FBI director, someone who does that AND ran COINTELPRO which, BTW, was only caught ACCIDENTALLY via a local FBI office break-in and eventually led to the establishment of the rubber stamping FISC. LOL! How that “fix” turn out…
Sad, and true.
I been sayon all along,…the Insurance plan, mentioned by Stroxz, in a text to Page, was to “Watergate” PDJT, to entrap him into either firing Mueller team, so they could impeach for “Obstruction” or get him in a “Perjury trap” so they could impeach him for that.
SO THAT Senate Republicans could SAY they were prepared to vote to convict, SO THAT PDJT would resign.
Just like their plan to advance RDS as “Americas Governor” while simultaneously indicting PDJT, this plan to ‘Watergate’ PDJT looked good on paper, and really ‘shoulda’ worked,…
“A frog was hopping along the shore of a river looking for a place to cross. He came upon a scorpion sitting on the shore. ‘Hello, friend frog,’ said the scorpion. ‘It appears you are looking to cross the river. I too want to cross. Would you mind carrying me?’
The frog was taken aback. ‘Why, if I let you on my back to cross the river, you’d sting me and I would die. I don’t think I’ll do that.’
The scorpion immediately replied, ‘There is no logic to your concern. If I sting you and you die, I will surely die as well, since I can’t swim. I wouldn’t need a ride if I could swim.’
The frog thought a moment and then said, ‘Your logic makes sense. Why would you kill me if it would result in your death? Come along and climb on my back and we’ll cross this river.’
The scorpion climbed on the frog’s back and off they went to cross the river.
About halfway across the river, the scorpion raised its tail and stung the frog. The frog was both astounded and disconsolate. ‘Why did you sting me? Now I will die and you will surely drown and die also.’
The scorpion replied, ‘I can’t help it. It’s who I am. It’s in my nature.’”
Human nature will lead to any power given to governments eventually being abused.
Except the government scorpions don’t drown. They’re promoted.

Geoff Shepard: “They Set Out To Take A Politicized Case And To Get Nixon”

On my “to be watched” list:
The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy and the Plot that Brought Nixon Down (1:01:15)
US National Archives
Oct 27, 2015
Forty years after Nixon’s resignation, Geoff Shepard, the youngest lawyer on Nixon’s Watergate defense team, is back with newly uncovered documents from prosecutors’ files. A book signing follows.
About the commie infested WWII and post-WWII era and the maligned American HERO Joe McCarthy. The US government WAS infested with communist agents which, among other things, led to the loss of China to Communism. The Venona intercepts of Soviet cables, only a few percent of which have been able to be decoded (although these days, I really wonder how much effort has ACTUALLY been applied), indicated 250-300 of them by their code names.
This video is over three hours long and based a great deal on the great book, “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies.” After watching these fact packed hours you will come away with a COMPLETELY different view of McCarthy and realize that any conservative who uses the term “McCarthyism” in a negative light is a successfully propagandized idiot.
Molyneux has been banned from YouTube and all of his huge amount of content like this deleted in the summer prior to the 2020 election most likely because HE was a MAJOR factor in the alternative media support for Trump prior to 2016 and was deluged with endless smears due to his deep analysis and interviews with subject experts on “third rail” topics. He made numerous meticulously documented rebuttals of the pre and 2016 post-election attacks against Trump.
Someone reuploaded this one:
The Truth About McCarthyism – Modern Parallels (3:26:41)
An example of one of his forbidden topics, also a reupload by someone:
Stefan Molyneux – The Truth About The Crusades (32:57)
From the YouTube video:
The real Watergate scandal turns out to be the trashing of our Constitution and Bill of Rights in the successful effort to drive Nixon from office, to imprison his senior aids, and to realign political power without the inconvenience of an election. If you were around at the time, you remember the mantra was that no man is above the law and it’s true. We are a nation of laws and not men. No man is above the law, but these people were the law. The people who were called upon and given the extraordinary powers to investigate and prosecute him preside over the Watergate trials and it turns out to be the same age old question that we struggled with since time immemorial. “Who will protect us from our protectors.”
No cause given.
26 barges break loose and float down Ohio River, causing damage and prompting bridge closures in Pittsburgh, officials say
13 Apr 2024
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/26-barges-break-loose-and-float-down-ohio-river-causing-damage-and-prompting-bridge-closures-in-pittsburgh-officials-say/ar-BB1ly2cv
A marina in Pittsburgh sustained extensive damage after 26 barges, most of which were loaded with dry cargo, broke loose late Friday night and floated uncontrolled down the Ohio River, according to authorities.
Two Pittsburgh-area bridges about 2.5 miles apart were closed after the barges broke free.
The McKees Rocks Bridge was shut down out of “an abundance of caution,” McKees Rocks police said shortly after midnight.
[snip]
The shuttered bridges will be reopened when “it is determined that it is safe to do so,” authorities said.
The bridge closures come just two weeks after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed when it was struck by a cargo vessel, killing six construction workers and leaving commuters and workers in limbo.
How the heck do 26 separate barges all become untethered and loose? WTF
Actually, it does happen from time to time. The barges are strapped together and the strain is tremendous. Fortunately, the river current is not unmanageable: you simply send a towboat down there to gather them up again.
The mass of a loaded barge is vastly less than that of the container ship which took out that bridge. But still, it’s not unreasonable to briefly close the bridge to traffic.
By design. 🚢
Happens all the time. Daily pretty much per my Capt hubby
Sounds to me like a reliable source.
There were severe storms the last few days… very, very high winds.
Combine this event that closes the river for a bit, a major shipping route, with the lock closed for up to a couple of more months for unexpected repairs on the Tenn-Tom near Demopolis, AL. Then add in the Baltimore waterways closing long term and major shipping is being forced to halt in the country. Coal is a major commodity on the barges as well as metals.
Mystery as more Fauci emails surface and raise questions about his links to Covid lab leak – after he was accused of secretly conspiring with the CIA
12 Apr 2024
– Emails show Dr Fauci went into ‘damage control’ when EcoHealth funding ended
– EcoHealth grants were overseen by Dr Fauci’s department at the NIH pre-Covid
– READ MORE: EcoHealth Alliance gathering pathogens with pandemic potential
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13302435/Mystery-Fauci-emails-surface-raise-questions-links-Covid-lab-leak-accused-secretly-conspiring-CIA.html
More questions are being raised about Dr Anthony Fauci’s ties to the Covid lab leak theory after the release of a tranche of new emails.
The former White House advisor, 83, was hit with a series of new allegations this week including that he secretly conspired with the CIA to squash debate about the origins of the virus.
Leaked documents also showed that Dr Fauci’s top aide intentionally tried to hide his discussions about the virus’s genesis by using his personal email.
And now new messages show Dr Fauci was engaged in some form of ‘damage control’ at the time his department was being probed about funding to the Chinese laboratory feared to have started the pandemic.
The April 2020 email, sent between Dr Fauci’s aide and a third-party group who distributed government grants to China, suggests they were concerned about backlash coming from the probe.
Who is going to prosecute this?
Not the WHO!
“WHO’s on first?”
Notice how the bad actors are as addicted to email, text and cell phones as everyone else?
Or, are really confident the NSA Database with 702 about searches will NEVER be used on them.
Just imagine all of the material sitting in that database, available with a few keystrokes.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS, the conspiring of EVERYONE involved in all of the evil, from Hillary’s 30,000 emails, to Stroxz texts (ALL of them!) to the texts/emails of the 40 Mueller team operatives, to Fauci, EcoHealth, Birx, etc. and Pfiser, and so on,…
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Since we can’t shut down the Database, OPEN IT UP.
It was sold as only being used to counter terrorism or espionage against the U.S.
Covid was a bioweopon attack, and qualifies as espionage or terrorism.
Subverting our elections, already designated as critical infrastructure and clearly under attack, also qualifies.
As these are direct threats to National Security, a sitting PDJT does not need any Congressional authorisation to expand the use of FISA, to incorporate investigations of election interference or Covid, and the Courts have no authority to restrict him.
Let the games begin,…
Indeed!
He will eventually stand before Christ for judgement.
Amazing how much treachery is now public knowledge … and they’re still pushing the jabs.
So simple even a 1st grader could illustrate it.
Government interference is the root of all evil.
These institutions are complicit. Read this week that Washington University in St. Louis is giving free education to “newcomers.” WTH?????
The same formula is seen with the defense industry, career politicians, and organized crime.
Lol, Jason has been successfully brainwashed 😵💫…
Pretty sad if you think about it…
Must have some good collateral on crow.
….or at least on fellow vultures.
One thing for sure: there is no Republican Party.
Well the ONLY thing remotely accurate in his list is Number 4 – and that is supposed to be a good thing?
Actually never heard of him – looked him up – Colorado /Army combat vet – surprised he is all in on this …I think only a member of the uniparty would come out and deny there is one … nobody asked that question actually .,… sad to see – they go to DC and are recruited /captured and they seem to enjoye joining the team /club ? …
Or they are blackmailed by use of the very surveillance program they are forced to support?
Read “The Firm” by Tom Clancy…it takes place in a law firm but I suspect that the exact same thing happens to freshmen members of Congress. (And if, on the rare occasion they don’t take the bait, then one of their kids will be targeted.)
John Grisham wrote it. I just read The Exchange which is the sequel.
Agh – I knew that! No idea why I wrote Tom Clancy but thank you for the correction.
(Going to go get my second cup of coffee now – cleary need it! 😜)
Yes, I’ve read it (great book), and hadn’t thought about how relevant it is to Congress. Good catch!
“Who’s been asking about dead lawyers . . . and whistleblowers?”
. . . paraphrasing a line from “The Firm”!
I guess – but they certainly don’t look/act like Blackmail Victims – maybe it’s that Stockholm syndrome ? Seem to be so willingly supporting stuff , not even blinking their eyes in code or anything like that …
Maybe once you join “Blackmailers Anonymous “ , you are guaranteed protection and so much more ? IDk
Actually, #4 is a LIE.
Circuit Judge Collier (a FISC Judge) was provided a report on violations of FISA 702 by then NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers, before he shut down access to contractors and others using FISA 702. She found that over 85% of the queries violated 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment Rights of those targeted by the 702 Requests.
We discussed this on CTH in great detail a few years ago.
Good catch , so he is wrong ( doubt it is a lie per se Just weak research ) but the larger point is the most disturbing – other than that one ( isolated ?) ruling like in 2015 ( Rogers’ era ) – no OTHER court has since found any problems – not good and certainly NOT an endorsement of the Program’s proper use..
Exactly!
Just because they didn’t “find” anything violating the 4th Amendment? In fact, that should tell you that he is TOTALLY brainwashed!
They remind me of that episode of “Amos N’ Andy” when Kingfish was selling some prime real estate and it was nothing more than a facade, a front from a stage set or movie set.
He is not brainwashed
He is compromised
He’s attempting to brainwash his readers.
Crow does not meet the IQ threshold.
I reckon he’s one of those congress critters that like to start every day with 5 lies
so they feel comfortable in what they do and don’t do in DC.
And this guy was an Army Ranger?
FISA is Bi-Partisan, supported by both Parties: Bribery and Blackmail!
Chuck Schumer – Intelligence Community Has “Six Ways to Sunday To Get Back At You” (00:00:30)
I have said this before but an honest man would have added “ and we have to put a stop to this lawlessness”.
He obviously speaks from personal experience.
“,…by BOTH parties,..”
LOL, apperently you believe “.. there is no UNIPARTY.”?
When someone tells you that something isn’t true, when it is perfectly obvious that it is, that tells you all you need to know about that person. And, why the hell is he in Congress?
Democrap who loves him some Ukraine war-read his recommendations for success from this time last year: advanced fighter planes; longer range missiles; more training and mo sanctions. It must be his Afghanistan victory experience he is drawing on.
The ‘dossier’ that tptb have on him, whether real or imagined, must be pretty damning.
6) The 2020 elections were the most secure and fair in the nations history.
Why did Chuck Schumer say there is a Deep State?
The Repubicans and Democrats are the Uniparty. We decided that from our experiences, Jason. It isn’t for you to say.
I thought it was sarcasm.
Would have been fine if he ended with “there IS a Santa Clause, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, the checks in the mail and,..you know.”
He’s either a miserable liar or an ignorant buffoon.
Or both.
Don’t get mad at the puppets when the puppet show sucks.
Doing as his master demands.
This is a thorough and complete job of brainwashing! Good grief!
This fellow is totally brainwashed or a real do-do . . . number 4 is a real lulu!
Old Kingfish could have sold him a piece of real estate! The magnificent home – actually, a mere facade from a movie set – and oil!
I am sick that the House did not at least pass the warrant amendment to the FISA approval and that Johnson was the deciding vote and confused that PTrump is praising Johnson as a good speaker. It makes little sense to me at this point. What am I missing or misinterpreting with this issue? I am truly not understanding all of this and feel like I don’t have all the information or the correct information on why this bill was passed without that amendment.
Sundance explains why President Trump is supporting the speaker in a post just below the open thread.
The FISA passed because the IC pressed congress to not be required to get a warrant. That is the short and sour of it.
https://justthenews.com/government/congress/house-lawmakers-who-voted-failed-warrant-requirement-will-have-second-chance
I hope and pray this passes but I doubt it will!!! The holy man Speaker will vote against it killing the passage!!! JMO
He would throw the Constitution under the bus if he doesn’t get money for Israel.
Confusion over Trump endorsements? Simple….here we go again. Don’t worry, it is just 76d chess. He is keeping his enemies close. It is brilliant, you will see.
There are many people in Washington, DC who are frankly obsessed with spying on Americans – “just because they can.”
Ironically, this can easily lead to weakness in your defense strategy. You naturally go for the thing that is easiest to do, and you “find things” in the data that is easiest to gather. And you will accumulate petabytes of it (petabyte = a quadrillion bytes), and you will endlessly pore through it. (And you will sell the government fat contracts for them to pay you to do so.) But you will not see, and you will not consider, any other possibilities. Your obsession with seeing … makes you blind.
That same “obsession with seeing” also makes your targets vulnerable, and they don’t know it. Because, “all that information” is “going to escape.”
I think many of the people who voted for this are infatuated with the idea that they are on the inside and know something we peons who put them in office do not.
We all saw this clearly during the covid scam of the millennium(s), but we returned these bums to office because “the alternative is worse”.
How so?
We need an Elise Stefanik, because the Democrats have an agenda against us, but she votes in favor of the agenda?
Everyone here needs to familiarize themselves with Bill Binney, if they have yet to do so.
Yes.
Bongino said this week that anyone who tells you that getting a warrant is onerous in cases of surveillance of this kind is lying to you. He said it takes not much more than a phone call to a judge who is available 24-hours a day. Five minutes.
I think Mike Johnson was told otherwise in the private meeting. I think I heard Dan Crenshaw say yesterday that it is indeed onerous to get a warrant sometimes.
Perhaps Dan is mistaken. But I no longer believe people who have lied to me repeatedly. Lied to get the surveillance state in. Lied to get the president surveilled and framed as a foreign agent. Lied to get their people off the hook for leaking intelligence to our enemies.
So, if the wolf comes and eats us all up because this one time they aren’t lying to me, so be it. I am perfectly content with that outcome. It was the little boy’s fault who cried wolf, not the fault of the people who stopped believing his lies. This is the way it is. This is reality. It’s how things work. People stop believing you and are no longer authorized by prudence or morality to continue to believe the liars. In fact, they are required by the same to disbelieve them.
19 Republicans Defy Speaker Johnson to Kill Domestic Spying Bill
By Glenn Greenwald
12 Apr 2024
https://rumble.com/v4p2wok-19-republicans-defy-speaker-johnson-to-kill-domestic-spying-bill.html
So all the Democrats and 19 Republicans killed the bill that contained SOME reforms only to have the SOH defeat the Biggs warrant amendment –then the FISA renewal bill with no reforms gets passed by Dems and Republicans both?
First off know that they are going to continue to use this complex system to spy on everyone, whether they have legal figleaf or not.
Its progress that the reauthorisation actually got a LITTLE resistance/push back this time.
As for PDJT and Johnson, its not 64D chess to suggest watchinh the presser, where McJohnson is talking with the volume down, and look at PDJT.
The presser gave PDJT a rare opportunity, with the press all there and broadcasting, to call attention to his signature issue, of the Open Border and to say the same thing to a hostile media, broadcasting it, that he says at every rally.
Johnson is a worthless turd, and PDJT obviously knows it.
2 Samuel 5: 20:
So David went to Baal Perazim and ·defeated the Philistines there. David said, “Like a flood of water, the Lord has broken through my enemies in front of me.” So David named the place Baal Perazim “the Lord of the Breakthrough”.
We thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your Breakthroughs for Your Beloved Children, Amen!
Rest in the Vine: The Good News!
if she put her hand on mine, I’d be like…
If not for the background canned laughter few would think this is comedy.
Cheers was one of the best comedy shows ever. I didn’t need canned laughter to know what is funny.
There is no excuse good enough for American government to spy on Americans without a warrant. None. Zero.Zip.
The ones who continue to vote for this know they will face no penalty, the voters will continue to support them “because we have to”.
I remember in elementary school long ago, the teacher would punish the whole class over a couple of miscreants.
I think we have to go back to a form of that with our “representatives”.
The Fourth Amendment is a national security provision. Because “a nation” consists of millions of persons. If anyone – especially “the Government” – can simply “know everything about them” without explanation nor justification, then your nation “is not secure.”
The PATRIOT Act was therefore “unconstitutional on its face.” But, so far, no one has ever taken the Government to court over this very obvious violation. I don’t know why not.
Because the radio was blaring “we may have to give up some of our civil liberties” propaganda 24/7, and people bought it.
We now have a nut on the court who was put there because she believes in emergency exceptions to the Bill of Rights.
And the people cheered.
Tell me what you want to do, and I’ll give you “an emergency.”
The pigs are exercising their control over animal farm.
In referencing a previous post, in a previous article,which suggested that Dominion was linked to Wuhan, China in the Georiga vote count of 2020; of course it was China. It’ll be China again, this year interfering, again. If the Hillary said that the Russians interfered, it was China. If Hillary or Old Joe are accusing anyone of crimes, THEY are the one’s doing exactly what they accuse others of doing, and either they did it first, or are currently engaged said behavior. It has been said here ad nauseum, Trump cost the Chinese trillions, completely derailed their global hegemony addiction.
President Trump also had set up to cost Big Harma Trillions of $, by setting it up so that Americans would pay the ‘same price’ for medications as the lowest price any where in the World.
I have been purchasing meds for years, from Cambodia, India, Mexico etc.
Older meds, the markup in the U.S. is x10, newer meds, x50 and it can go higher.
As an example, one newer med, in U.S. $3000/month, from India a 400 day supply for $2800.
Point is yes, China had trillion$ at stake, but so did Big Harma.
What the world needs – and we already know how to do this – is a completely open source election system. None of the software is proprietary. The election equipment is purposely “patent free” or “freely licensed.” There are no secrets anywhere. The design includes not only the hardware and software that runs the vote-collection process itself, but every process (human and otherwise) both upstream and downstream from it.
This should be an international effort, since every country depends on elections and since everyone – given the chance to do so – would seek to undermine the system to their own advantage.
Many of the most-critical pieces of software that we all use every day are managed in precisely this way. As I said, “we already know how to do this.” How to design, execute, and manage it.
Paper ballots are pretty open-source 😉
I once thought up a design for a system… using Directory Services – but not the M$ version. Unfortunately, the company with the best DS went out of business.
You can rearrange the system all you want, and expend a great deal of energy/effort/$ in the process, and get absolutely no where, much like reupholstering the interior of a car that won’t start.
Sure, photo I.D.’s, Single election day with in person voting, paper ballots hand counted AT the local precinct location, with poll watchers are all desirable.
And all were “in place” in the 1960 Presidential election, when Dominion was just a word, and yet history by concensus agrees the Election was stolen.
In Maracopa, in 2022, because of the duscovery coming out from the KL election challenge cases, we know that even with mail out ballots and machine tabulators etc. IF election officials had obeyed the laws, rules/regs and policies/proceedures, Kari Lake would have been declared the winner.
Finally, recall the County Recorder for Maracopa County Steven Richer was recruited to run, vetted and supported in his campaign by the State Republican Party.
Even assuming “WE” could do all of the changes to the PROCESS on our wishlist (single day, in person, voter i.d., paper ballots, etc.) if we don’t address the process we use for selecting/installing WHO counts the votes, it won’t change anything.
And, if address how we select/install those who count the votes, the process will be fair and transparent, even with machines.
I have a goofy neighbor, in a good way. For my last birthday she gifted me a package of those little plastic Army Men. I trail hike a lot, there’s a nearby local trail that’s popular and I use it for what I call it hikercise. I’m thinking of posting an Army Man along the trail here and there.
This morning I finally opened the package and not a single soldier is in a shooting position, not kneeling, not standing, not laying down, not throwing a grenade, no shooting position at all. The skill set of the plastic injection moulding is crap.
When President Trump is back in the White House, he’s going to have a monumental task ahead him and it wont be finished until there’s patriotic pride in our little Army Men, until manufacturing is brought back here and skilled craftsmen are once again working and helping to Make America Great Again.
Btw – where made – Asia somewhere ?
Yes
Loved playing with my brother’s army men as a kid. Sad.
I am old enough to have had one of those lead melting soldier kits that had 3 forms. One soldier prone shooting, one standing shooting and one standing charging with bayonet. Never hurt myself but the fumes must have messed with my brain. I’ve never trusted the government and refused the clot shot!!!😉
I still like going to the movies. I have have a subscription service with Cinemark that gives me one ticket a month. I took a bunch of folks from church to see Sound of Freedom when that came out.
My fiancé’ is recovering from surgery and I wanted to get her out of the house, so we went and saw Civil War, in part because I was still listening (notice the past tense) to Clay and Buck and they were touting it. I knew they were being paid to do so, but I thought they had at least enough integrity to have at least seen it and liked it to do so.
It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The anti-Trump and anti-white messages were frequent throughout. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
So glad you posted this, Donny. We still go to the movies about 3 times per year and I was tempted with Civil War. Not now!!!
I will never take my children to see a movie unless I see it first.
Hope she’s better.
Clay and Buck have no integrity.
Can’t wait for Erik Larson’s new book. Release is later this month.
https://eriklarsonbooks.com/book/the-demon-of-unrest/
The Demon of Unrest
…brings to life the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War—a slow-burning crisis that finally tore a deeply divided nation in two.
Larson does history very well. I have listened to all his books. My favorite is Dead Wake.
My wife found a DVD at the public library, we watched last night that I can reccomend.
Its called “Vice” with Steve Carrel, Sam Rockwell, Christian Bale, Amy Adams,…
Surprisingly good production it has an unusual “style” but it grows on you.
It gives a lot of detail on Dick Chaney, his history and how he ran a kind of ‘shadow Presidency’ while everyone was focused on “W” and Rove.
Very enlightening, and I heartily reccomend.
Funny, I read a non-partisan review of someone I actually trust, that said it was an equal opportunity attack on both sides.
Catherine Herridge Accuses CBS Of ‘Journalistic Rape’ For Seizing Her Belongings
“Award-winning investigative journalist Catherine Herridge accused her former employer CBS of “journalistic rape” after the network seized her records and files following her departure.
(SNIP)
Herridge confirmed to Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan that her position got terminated after she reported facts that painted President Joe Biden’s administration in a negative light.”
Read more here:
https://dailycaller.com/2024/04/11/catherine-herridge-cbs-journalistic-rape/
She got the Tucker treatment from another corrupt corporate outlet (MSM) for government propaganda.
I’m not surprised. Catherine Herridge has far too much journalistic integrity for a MSM sleezeball outfit like CBS to tolerate.
Disgusting that she is using that word, delegitimizes real rape victims.
I don’t ‘trust’ this Catherine Herridge for one second and never have; she always has come across as the mouthpiece for three letter agencies and still think she is, that this ‘firing’ and ‘seizing’ is just a setup to get inside the real victims of journalistic blackballing. She was not ‘journalistically’ raped. Disgusting game.
Really. The thought and word police are here for you. It is what they are fighting to stop.
My neighbor has two Teslas, and does exactly that.
I’m sure he’s the incredibly rare exception.
Not calling “B.S.”, but close.
I have a “stand alone” (NOT “Grid-tied”) Solar system, and an “E.V.” (actually, a 1972 electric golf cart) and knowing whats required to charge up an EV, and whats required in terms of panels etc to generate enough power to charge up even one EV, I am highly sceptical.
I could imagine someone having a “grid-tied” solar system with panels on their roof, and they ARE charging their 2 E.V.’s, by plugging into a charger that is hooked up to the same grid,…smoke and mirrors,…
….but he cant do that with one.
Yep … but a major correction is needed.
If the loans were “cancelled”, the actual banks lending the money would be SOL and would not receive the cash they doled out after the US Government approved the loans. The loans were not cancelled. The US Government is NOT the source of the loan cash.
The people “receiving the loans” had their debt forgiven, while the US Government i.e. the Tax Payer (as loan underwriter) is still on the hook to give the banks their cash. This is the reason the Courts found the loan forgiveness action of Sock Puppet JoeBama Administration illegal…the executive Branch was overstepping it’s authority by levying a tax to repay the money loaned by the banks.
Not that legalities mean anything these days or that CONGRESS (i.e. the Republican House) will do anything about it.
Yes, the word “Cancels” in the headline should have been in quotes. But the same national idiocracy that “elected” him stupidly think that the debt just goes away because, you know, just as they are on political topics, they’re even more ignorant about economic issues.
“Tax corporations more!!!” Besides the additional extortion leverage that gives the pols (see book below), assuming the corporations can’t avoid the tax, WHO actually pays it? THEY just EAT IT and not adjust their balance sheet to maintain a reasonable profit by lowering employee pay, benefits, product quality or increasing the price of the product?
Speaking just of the IQ bell curve and not the fact that far too many even on the right hand side of the bell curve totally lack the LEARNED skill of critical thought and analysis:
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” – George Carlin

Thank you for pointing out that very important distinction, doc.
Speaker Johnson is unfit for public office in America.
Most pols aren’t.
Dan Crenshaw claims the bill favored by him, the Biden WH, and FBI/NSA/CIA provides major reforms to domestic warrantless spying.
That NSA and FBI would support meaningful reforms is laughable. Read @LizaGoitein, one of the country’s best privacy experts, on their bill:
This list by Crenshaw is simply suggestions. No punishment to those who abuse is the same as doing nothing. This clown is not a serious person.
56 more laws to ignore.
The Constitution and the US Code weren’t enough, Dan?
In the end, even these paper-thin reforms were voted down by Speaker Pelosi-Johnson. Even Nads Nadler voted better than Johnson!
Isaiah 1:
The Degenerate City
21 How the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice;
righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross,
your wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebellious
and companions of thieves;
everyone loves a bribe
and follows after rewards.
They do not defend the fatherless,
nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
Ah, I will get relief from My adversaries,
and avenge Myself on My enemies.
25 And I will turn My hand against you,
thoroughly purge away your dross,
and take away all your impurities.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward you shall be called
the city of righteousness,
a faithful town.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice
and her converts with righteousness.
28 But the destruction of the transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks
which you have desired,
and you shall be humiliated for the gardens
that you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong shall be as tinder,
and his work like a spark;
they will both burn together,
and no one will quench them.
Atsa my gal!

DID THE ARMED FORCES SUFFER A TOXIC EXPOSURE?
The HighWire with Del Bigtree
12 Apr 2024
https://rumble.com/v4p4aik-did-the-armed-forces-suffer-a-toxic-exposure.html
YES, they most certainly did, but the VA won’t cover anything related to that.
Del points out that when he talked on the phone with some major MSM person he pointed out that the same damaging mechanism, the cytotoxic spike protein, is produced by both the jabs and the virus at which point there was a long pause at the other end of the conversation followed by the comments of someone who had been awakened to a huge, relevant point.
On that, see my comment here about how many people even on the right hand side of the IQ bell curve never acquire the LEARNED skill of critical thought and analysis.
And those aren’t the only ones…
Property tax – why you don’t actually own even your paid-off home. Stop paying it and you lose your home.
It’s never yours.
sales tax… EACH TIME the bronco sells.
My husband made just made this point. Taxed first time its sold and every time after.
In the UK, a car is taxed new. On used cars…none.
They can increase your property taxes as a result of real estate bubbles that they create.
It’s a local issue. People need to bounce the locals and make a stink. But they don’t.
It’s partly local, because it’s not the local government that allows the real estate bubbles to occur.
I think both Massachusetts and California tried to do something about property taxes, but the government gets around it on way or another.
Since early voting became a thing, and especially after covid mail-in voting, my vote locally has no effect anymore.
A “wealth” tax on unrealized gains in other words. Biden Inc is hoping to slap a yearly federal tax on top of what we pay in property tax. The figure I’ve read being suggested is 3%.
Can’t see that gaining any traction. Can you imagine?
That that can even be seriously discussed shows how insane everything is.
Nothing screams Communism like the attempt to appropriate from people who have worked for what they have to inflict the equality of misery on everyone.
Honestly, Winston, I look at this horror show and the hell people are enduring trying to stay afloat and the worry they must all feel as they turn in at night wondering how on earth they carry on…
Not even the Democrat wing of the Uniparty in the House which would have to pass such confiscating legislation can be so stupid to sign on to this.
As you say, insanity. But that’s where we are.
“stupid” is hoping for a windfall based on our losses. This greedy man would take the last dollar from those of us who might have lost or eventually will lose everything. He has already taken all our loved ones so what the hell else does he want? This is despicable.
EXACTLY! And it is intentional. Paying for theoretical PAPER “wealth”(your artificially inflated home “value”) with actual wealth (what you earn or save).
The bubble/bust cycles caused via the application of GARBAGE economic theory are beneficial to people in an adequate position of power to change things: pols who can borrow and spend “without consequences” and cash rich oligarchs and corporations who can buy REAL assets at fire sale prices after the crash. That’s why the application of those theories are never changed.
If you look at a graph of comparative wealth over the last three bubbles, you’ll see that for the very wealthy it’s a ratcheting upward process of two steps forward (bubble), one step back (bust).
I have been posting this here for years and it never gets much attention.
Why I do not comprehend.
And then they use the tax money to increase their power and further their agenda.
Ukraine.
So let me get this straight, our rights have just been violated because some overweight woman had a cold and couldn’t make it in to vote as a result.
I could launch into how we deserve so much better than this but it’s so fitting all I can do is laugh. I hate it so much.
So, a SECURE link for her to place a WITNESSED vote remotely can’t be arranged for a Congressperson, but your vote on a machine used by a bazillion other people proved on YouTube by those on both the left and right to be easily hacked is just fine…
This country is just pure BS from top to bottom.
They had no problem with remote voting during the Wu-flu
Or the certification of the electors in the 2020 election.
thats ok debbie, they’ll warn you when they spy on your fat ass.
afterward.
Let’s see what happens on Monday, and then through Friday.
I have an alternative explanation in mind for why she (was?) held back.
At a minimum, 126 anti-Constitution AINO’S got exposed for the DS players they are.
For Treepers in those districts, instead of complaining, how about looking up the top 10 donors to the congresscritter, identifying the local offices of those donors, making some signs that say something like “Joe Smith Auto Dealership gave $10,000 to congresscritter Joe Blow last year, just so Joe Blow could vote against the 4th Amendment ”
and then go picket the donor(s) Monday morning?
At least on Monday congresscritter would get a phone call he’d actually answer.
Remember the McCain Obamacare vote?
Let’s see what happens.
Exactly. A Demorat would have masked-up, dosed herself with DayQuil Maximum Flu whatever, called for support to wheel her onto the floor to vote in a remote, taped-off section of the chamber, and then take her home.
That is exactly what happened when the vote came up for Nanzi to become SOH. Her Congress critters actually boarded planes with Covid so they could make it to DC to vote for her. Then when they were there they had to sit in plexiglass boxes to vote. You just cannot make up this level of insanity.
I am wondering if she really would have voted against or just lying to get re-elected.
.
Lesko is a no-go for re-election: she is ‘retiring’ from this representative gig at the end of the present term . . .
They had Feinstein voting when she was nearly dead.
Lesko has been a RINO do nothing for Arizona –she votes with the war pigs. She is retiring and its a cluster fark now in that district with so many Republicans running-https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2023/12/11/leskos-retirement-starts-stampede-of-high-profile-hopefuls-in-8th-district
Yet nanzi easily brought in a rep with covid to pass a bill she needed. Lets see if lesko is still sick on Monday.
Democrats get off their death bed to vote – remember DiFi with her red drooping eye and still she was hauled to DC despite probably not knowing what day it is.
This woman’s excuse is pathetic.

Any chance you could also put up the General Flynn tweet reaming out McCabe?
It was not in their purview.
Julie Kelly on twitter:
One thing I find amusing as a reporter on the *right* actively covering J6 and Trump related court proceedings is seeing what corporate news reporters omit from their articles.
For example, I don’t see any coverage of Jay Bratt (Jack Smith prosecutor) apparently admitting yesterday that the government does not think it will have to prove that classified records were in the boxes moved by Trump’s co-defendants.
Bratt said with one exception–a photo in the indictment that allegedly shows a classified file spilled from a box in the storage room–DOJ is not aware of the presence of classified records in any box moved or handled by Walt Nauta or Carlos De Olivera.
This is CENTRAL to the obstruction charges against both men and Trump.
I also don’t see any reports about Judge Cannon’s frustration bordering on anger about secrecy out of the DC court. For the most part, corporate media ignores the fact that the entire investigation was run out of Washington–including grand jury proceedings–then switched to Florida, the appropriate jurisdiction, at the last minute to get indictments.
Cannon told DOJ yesterday things were happening behind the scenes (DC court) she was not privy to. She denounced the “secrecy” of grand jury proceedings and materials by DOJ and DC court.
One defense attorney filed a request at DC court asking the judge to docket classified docs related grand jury materials. The court denied that request but Cannon wants to see what the court refused to make available.
Even the reporting on Nauta’s FBI interview. No outrage that the FBI once again lured a Trump confidant into a perjury trap under the guise of “helping” the government?
No outrage that the FBI did not work through the Trump legal team–as it ALREADY WAS–to notify the former president that agents planned to interrogate one of his most trusted aides not just about classified files but Trump’s personal habits and private conversations? Or that the FBI clearly was attempting to flip Nauta by playing on his loyalties to the military as a recently retired Naval officer?
Just some observations…column on hearing and recent filings up soon!
We all knew there was something funny going on with those “classified” papers put there on the floor.
I read through numerous pages of Nuata’s interview with the fibbers. It was astounding and infuriating, as I was comparing it to how the classified documents, Illegally obtained by FJB, were moved around from Penn, Chinatown, his garage, etc..
The real news will be in what the Judge (and other judges when things get appealed) does – if the Judge upholds the law, including the spirit of the law, in that there is no proof that Nuata did anything he is accused of, that indicates we may still have a chance because the entire judicial system hasn’t been compromised; if the Judge lets the prosecutors get away with convicting non-crimes then we will also know where things stand, as far as checks and balances in the system.
Julie Kelly is a national treasure doggedly following the ins and outs of what is going on.
“But wait, theres more!”
Hard to keep the nuances, twists and turns of the various cases seperate, but I THINK this is the one where JOE “waived” Executive Priviledge for PDJT.
Seems obvious it will have to go to SCOTUS, to rule whether that is “kosher”; if yes than PDJT (once back in) can similarly wave Exec Priv for “COW”; Obama, Biden, and Bush admins, and start digging.
Or, SCOTUS can say no, a sitting POTUS can NOT waive Exec priv on a former POTUS, in which case Smiths case is dead in the water without a paddle.
If executive privilege can be waived by another party then it really isn’t a privilege after all!
In Episode 354 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with investigative journalist Byron Tau, who specializes in law, courts, and national security, about how a hidden alliance between technology companies and the government is creating a new American surveillance state.
Many of you are probably thinking, “Yeah, I know this. We all have cell phones. They have GPS trackers, and my phone calls are being monitored. Tell me something I don’t know.” Yet, the truth is that our smartphones, wearable devices, networked homes, credit cards, and even the tires we drive on emit an overwhelming amount of data revealing details about our lives, daily habits, and most intimate behaviors that would astonish you. That data is being captured and available for sale, and the U.S. government is its biggest customer.
In the first hour of this conversation, you will learn that in the years after 9/11, the U.S. government, working with scores of anonymous companies, built a foreign and domestic surveillance apparatus that can peer into the lives of nearly everyone on the planet. This cottage industry of data brokers and government bureaucrats has one directive—“Get everything. Get it all.” The result is something resembling a sci-fi dystopia, like an episode out of Black Mirror, and the public knows virtually nothing about it.

I am wondering if we haven’t reached the point now where lines in the sand are drawn and will not budge, regarding the divisions – family and friends – that have only grown worse over the last 4 Twilight Zone years. Lines between those who still choose to believe the criminal MSM and those who cannot, lines between those whose hatred for President Trump still forcibly discards any tentative rational thought process and those who choose to see clearly, lines between those who are hopeful about the exposure of Deep State/Fourth Branch corruption and those who, ever more desperately fear it being exposed. I mean, The Great pretending can’t get anymore absurd than it is now, and everyone seems bunkered in on their side of choice, even after 4 years of Bizarro World screaming in our faces every hour of the day. The next moves in this crazy show may be the definitive ones…
Had an interesting conversation with my neighbors who were extolling the benefits of eliminating all meat from the diet, fish farms, etc.. They even talked up those fake meat products. UGH
The gist of the conversation was, “Well if we need to feed the world, then we’ll have to do x, y, z.”
I casually mentioned those tasty crickets. When they didn’t flinch, I added, “It doesn’t matter anyway, since they already opted for plan B: Depopulation.”
Well ^^that^^ got their attention, finally. By the year 2026, we will see what’s what.
You should have mentioned the bacteria they will be infected with when they eat that s**t.
Treepers, I found it. It turns out to be true that virtually anyone can get a voter ID card in Wisconsin. Those 8 million illegal aliens are all Biden needs to win. He’ll cheat in other ways too, but those 8 million illegals are his ace in the hole.
I’m sure the RNC is on it. 😬
Or in on it

“Their average debt relief is $25,500+ and average household income is $312,000+.”
Why are people with $312k/yr in income getting debt relief?
They can pay their own debt.

but how does he collect his 10% when he loses?
“but how does he collect his 10% when he loses?”
I feel confident it’s baked in there somewhere. He will get his share.
Actually, a valid point.
How desperate, he is “preaching to the choir”, attempting to buy votes he will get, anyway.
This move, doesn’t add anything to his vote totals, and just pisses off those who already oppose him.
SPIT! The only words I have for that hateful man and his minions.
Without getting into specifics, Speaker Johnson should be able to tell us of a hypothetical situation where having to get a warrant (which nowadays can be done almost instantly) would endanger national security.
I’d love to hear the reasoning, wouldn’t you?
I would but they don’t care enough about the American citizens to even try to offer any reasoning.
You’re trying to “bait” me,…right? lol.
Such a set up, on what “I’d like to hear” from McJohnson is SO tempting,…but ‘content crawlers’, you know?
Having to get a “warrant” makes it difficult for the hundreds of FBI Contractors to go wantonly FISHING through thousands of American’s phone records looking for “stuff” to spin and twist!
Back in 2018, on another (now deleted) account, I predicted that colleges would eventually abandon the SAT in order to bury evidence that could be used against them in admissions discrimination lawsuits brought by Asians and whites. The people in my replies said I was nuts.
So while I got that right, I also got something wrong: I assumed that when the test requirement was eliminated it wouldn’t just be a short-term change. I did not anticipate colleges backtracking as quickly as they have. I’m pleased to have been wrong about this.
nor does a “4.0” indicate the ability to read, write, speak, or even capitalize😂,
clearly enough to facilitate learning.
grade inflation is a pox. future employers, employees, customers, etc. all pay the price.
I was pleased to see the SAT and ACT reinstated for college admission.
Not all schools grade the same way and there is a prevalent permissive attitude toward cheating. The students know, though. A neighbor’s child who graduated 2 or 3 years ago had a graduation party to which I was invited. I overheard the kids talking about how the valedictorian should not have been #1 in the class because she cheated so much, but the #2 in the class had a higher SAT score and her grades were her own.
I understand what your saying, and this is one of several instances where “enlightened self interest” has caused the enemy to relatively quickly “back off”,…another being EU with the Farmers.
Hidden Behind Climate Policies, Data From Nonexistent Temperature Stations
The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.
“They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.
“NOAA fabricates temperature data for more than 30 percent of the 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”
He calls them “ghost” stations.
Mr. Shewchuck said USHCN stations reached a maximum of 1,218 stations in 1957, but after 1990 the number of active stations began declining due to aging equipment and personnel retirements.
NOAA still records data from these ghost stations by taking the temperature readings from surrounding stations, and recording their average for the ghost station, followed by an “E,” for estimate.

How Homogenization Destroys Climate Science Data (8:15)
Aug 13, 2019
EVERYTHING in the MSM is BS, people. I no longer even bother to watch it or even shows on the right that bitch about it superficially.
Dr. Drew Pinsky on The Rubin Report:
Dr. Drew: I am open to everything now. I’m open to things that I never thought I would have been open to and I really think that the door fully came open. I’ve realized that everything in the news is BS. Everything. There is nothing that I can consume on any Legacy Media that I can trust and that is shocking and that’s disturbing and it makes you wonder how long it’s been going on for and I’m concerned it might have been a very a long time.
BY FAR the best film on the catastrophic climate change scam I’ve ever seen and likely ever will see. Destroys the climate hysteria and provides the actual reasons why it exists and persists.

From Who Knows Dept ? – Stock Market off nearly 500 points yesterday (.Supposedly on war fears Of possible Iran Attack on Israel – really ? )
The experts Always need a reason … btw ALL of my 25 individual stocks ( small amounts /diversified/for dividends /buy to hold ) were down with the Market EXCEPT my DJT /DWAC , which recovered a bit and was up , the only one that went up yesterday – How odd is That ?
Seems to me whatever explanation the talking heads give, for whatever happens in the market, is guaranteed to be bull manure,…isn’t that a given?
That is true – but not everyone realizes that or believes it , and they are looking for the
“pony “ …
But my point was thought it was just odd that DJT stock went north a bit when everyone else went south …
It angers me so much that both Labor and Liberal governments spend all their time policing “hate speech” while actual dangerous terrorists and gangs are allowed to wander the streets.
Censorship isn’t about public safety, it’s about political power.
Safety would mean deporting those on watch lists and locking up gangs.
Australians keep dying because politicians either can’t or won’t crack down on real crime.
“Censorship isn’t about public safety, it’s about political power.”
Kind of a “Thank you, Captain Obvious” column since the left have previously proved this throughout history because it’s what they’re all about – they know how to run your lives better than you do – but I post it anyway:
The Political Left Has Proven Beyond A Doubt That They Are Authoritarians
April 12, 2024
https://alt-market.us/the-political-left-has-proven-beyond-a-doubt-that-they-are-authoritarians/
Conclusion:
For a Democrat, any speech that is detrimental to their goal of extorting public support for their policies suddenly becomes “radical.” The label is designed to elicit images of terrorism and fascism, as if mere words are magical and can compel the public to do great evil without them realizing it. This is childish fantasy based on projection. It’s leftists (collectivists) that believe words have magical powers, and so they put great emphasis on controlling speech in general.
I would partially agree, only in the fact that lies do have power to evoke emotional responses, but the only way to combat lies is with the truth. Anyone who says that the best way to combat lies is to use mass censorship is a liar. Democrats lean heavily on mass censorship, as we have seen with nearly every Big Tech social media platform and corporate news platform in the past few years.
The bottom line is this – When someone tells you exactly who they are, believe them. When a group of people show through a host of actions that they are authoritarians, they should not be allowed anywhere near power. It’s time to rethink our ongoing political relationship here in America and consider whether or not we should continue to live with a political movement that has made it so abundantly clear that they are hostile to freedom.
Labor and Liberal Governments are the same thing, I think you perhaps meant Labor and Torie or Conservative party?
However, England, Aus., NZ have their Uniparty too, so Labor and Torie are two cheeks of the same arse.

More on Terrorist Financing and CIA Ties | The Gateway Pundit | by Larry Johnson:
“Here is an 11 minute look at Russia’s allegation that Burisma was involved in terrorist finance. The big unanswered question is what was Cofer Black, a former senior CIA official who headed up the Counter Terrorism Center (CTC) in 2001, doing while serving on the board of Burisma and a Latvian Bank that was later implicated in possible terrorist financing? Was that just a crazy coincidence?”…….

Bush Angle to Reagan Shooting Still Unresolved as Hinckley Walks – WhoWhatWhy:
A Story I Had to Leave Out of My Book by RUSS BAKER 08/16/16
George H.W. Bush knew the family of the man who shot Bush’s then-boss Ronald Reagan, in 1981. With the shooter now freed, it’s time, finally, to take a closer look.”
Shooter John Hinckley’s good friend Neil Bush (left) with the Mark (center) and the CIA Director (mid-right) who would have replaced the Mark to build a “New World Order”. They sent two shooters for Jack. They sent two shooters for Bobby. Even two “agents” for President Trump: CheatWare Voting Machines and Massive Mail-In Fraud. But Bush forgot the Agency’s “Two-Shooter”-Rule–and knew he would be exposed if they tried again.
“…Why did George H.W. Bush and his cabinet determine that John W. Hinckley Jr. — the man who in 1981 tried to kill the newly inaugurated President Ronald Reagan — was a lone nut, and no conspiracy, foreign or domestic, was involved? How did they arrive at this conclusion just five hours after the shooting, without any thorough examination? …
“Poppy,” claimed he could not remember where he was when he heard that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. I discovered a good reason why he should have remembered — because he, himself, had been in Dallas that morning. …
I also learned that Poppy Bush was a longtime acquaintance/friend of George de Mohrenschildt, the mysterious Russian “baron” who was perhaps the closest person to Lee Harvey Oswald in the year before Kennedy’s death.
Imagine my fascination, then, to learn that John Hinckley Jr., the man who shot and nearly killed President Ronald Reagan in 1981 — an attempt which, if successful, would have resulted in then-Vice President George H.W. Bush moving up to the top spot — was none other than a friend of the Bush family.
How strange is that? So strange that it literally caused NBC News’s anchor John Chancellor’s eyebrows to arch as he reported the curious connection.
The story was broken by the now-defunct Houston Post, and then picked up briefly by the AP and UPI wire services, and some newspapers, plus Newsweek.
Then it vanished without a trace or further inquiry or comment in the mainstream media.” …….
What could be more normal? Remember this the next time George W. Bush calls you a terrorist for wanting Honest Elections.
I remember that I didn’t get it at first when Trump tweeted about dopey Prince Alaweed.
We see the profiteering from war right now with Ukraine, but this time people like Mitch and Lindsey are bragging about it.
Damn…I despise these people.
Great investigative compilation and summary.

“New York City Council Opens Meeting by Praising Allah as the Supreme Lord of the World (VIDEO)”
Screenshot: NYCCouncil/Youtube
The New York City Council opened its Thursday meeting with an invocation praising Allah, recognized in Islam as the supreme deity.
During his invocation, Imam Traore began by reciting Al-Fatiha, the opening chapter of the Quran, which is known to be one of the most significant Surahs (chapters) recited in daily prayers by Muslims around the world.
The New York City Community Affairs Bureau estimates the Muslim population in the city to be between 800,000 and 1,000,000, with other sources citing numbers as high as 1.4 million. This demographic makes New York home to the largest Muslim population in the country, according to WiseVoter.

Grrrr!
Islam seeks to dominate, but islam is also patient. This is just another small step in that direction.
Mike Clark mentioned again this morning that Biden is personally pushing this mass Lawfare effort against President Trump, and I was suddenly struck by the sheer evil of a man who we know has spent over 50 years lying, grifting, pawing children and women, selling access, national security, and inside information, capitalizing on every event to further his own political/greedy interests, with no regard whatsoever for those who are bereaved, even though his actions/decisions, taking it to the next level and trying to ruin not only the man who is opposing him and his rampant destruction of the Republic, but all those who are in any way associated with that political opponent, or any who simply oppose Biden’s nation destroying process.
That this … this … this thing … was installed in our top office and at least putatively represents our nation is beyond sickening.
Got up at 5 am and filed taxes. FJB! Electric bill is due, as is LP. We’re solidly middle class, this is killing us.
Yes, we owed, both federal and state. Not a lot, but looking at all of taxes that were withheld, plus property tax, sales tax, vehicle registrations fees, etc… Yeah, I will not own nothing and be happy. One pissed off American patriot here. What to do? Vote harder? The fix is already in.
On the bright side, it’s a sunshiny day in Wisconsin. Garden beds to prepare.
Massive protest in Japan against WHO pandemic treaty. We must not cede our rights, freedom, and sovereignty to distant medical authorities, especially when they are so heavily influenced by for-profit pharmaceutical companies.
Taken without permission…
If I ask nicely, will the thieves who stole our America, please return it and in the condition we knew it before they destroyed it?
No questions asked.
Thank you.

But i THINK IT’S OUR FAULT for NOT GUARDING Our BEQUEATHED ” Hen House ” Better
We Crested the Hill in the 1970’s during my High School Years with the liberalization of education, Internationalization/ SELLING OFF of OUR Industries and the end of the Draft that gave OUR MEN a foundation for commonality in Nationalism by Service.
Deferment of Service by attending college Created a Cleaving Point within the Nation also. I Know BOTH SIDES from my Life Experiences with Service and College.
Retaliation…..?
You destroy our embassy
in another country…..
We will seize a ship
🤷♀️ 💁 🤷♀️
No sane person would believe
that Iran would not Retaliate
in some manner.

I don’t think this is the retaliation Iran intends. But I doubt that anyone will do anything about it because they don’t want to incite anything further. Maybe Iran figured that??
While the US is scrambling to ramp up anger against Iran in NATO, the world, and among middle eastern countries, a number of middle eastern countries have said that the US cannot use their bases and airports to attack Iran.
Agree.
There is no way that Iran
could let the embassy attack
go unchecked.
Iran doesn’t want the conflict
to expand, so this may be the
way to make a statement without
escalating the tension.
The shipping company insurance
companies will have to pay for
the ship and cargo.
The attack on the embassy
was bait. Looks like Iran is
not taking it….nor have the
other ME countries.
The bases being closed is
quite a statement!
