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

Ask any of those kids what they are protesting. Sure will be some clueless answers. Then go find the blm and Antifa bots in the crowd ginning them up. Makes for a mob really. This is the new blm antifa movement, paid for by the commies running the anti America show. Good for TX. Break the party up and keep the pressure on them.
.
Sure, lots of outside agitators in these crowds, but it would stop quickly if school administrators announced a deadline time to disperse failing which students in the prohibited area would be expelled, school employees fired, no appeal. Announce on loud repeating PA.
Cops would only need to start grabbing and identifying people at random, and no need to depend on lefty DAs, or use big force to try to pushback large crowd.
Grab them individually at random. Trespassers arrested, ID’d students (or employees) summarily expelled (or fired).
.
Not sure if you are suggesting ways to deter or address these protests, that will fall on deaf ears, or pointing out that University admin and Cops, so City admin. actually, by their action/responces are encouraging the protests, cause they certainly are.
And lets not leave out the parents; “You got yourself IN, you can get yourself OUT”, ..”and when you do, good luck with paying FOR your University education, cause I ain’t payin’ for you to get a degree in protesting!” attitude on the part of the parents would stop it, as well.
Of coarse unless the parent co-signed for the Student loan, Papa Joe is going to forgive their loan, so no worries, right.
My hope is that these rediculous protests, combined with the student debt forgiveness B.S. of Joe, are going to make for a public very unsympathetic to protesters that seem like spoiled, ignorant brats.
And that perhaps after the experience of having areas of cities destroyed by BLM/Antifa, there will be less coddling this time around.
Come on Chicago Dem convention, when Palestinian idiots and Urban poor p.o.’d at seeing illegals taking all the goodies are both threatening to disrupt the convention,…lottsa pop corn on hand!
You can bet a lot of these are trespassers brought in from outside, paid for by the Soro crowd who love to stir up this kind of garbage. They are the ones who foment the troubles on university campuses like Columbia and Yale. Those are not all students who rant and rave. They are paid performers and the Democrat party has money tied into that too from some reports that you read.
History repeats itself. .. growing protests against Israel in favor of Hamas, this time, on elite college campuses.
The epicenter of all this hateful demonstration is Columbia University, where students, faculty, (professional?)
agitators camped out in support of terrorism, hatred of the only bastion of Middle Eastern freedom.
These protests are the descendants of Occupy, Antifa, BLM, CHAZ/CHOP, and Stop Cop City. The violence may
not be the same (yet). The pattern is the same. Radical leftists think that squatting in some sort of annoying version of a campout helps them get their way.
When authorities give in – leadership at Columbia surrendering in some ways:
School officials are at a loss about what to do .. another tent city has arisen after cops tore down the first one on
Monday.
Columbia’s President Minouche Shafik made the tactical blunder of agreeing to negotiate with the troublemakers.
By doing this, she’s already lost. Her surrender is imminent. That, is the consequences of coddling children; not holding them accountable for what they say and do.
These kids have never been told NO and have never suffered any consequences in life. They couldn’t tell you anything about the middle east, Hamas etc. They no nothing.
.
She didn’t make a blunder. She’s an Egyptian-born Muslim. Who somehow is both a US and UK citizen.
.
New York is no longer New York. Police in NY were attacked and objects thrown at them when they tried to break up the crowds/riots. Would never have happened in my day. As a former NYorker, working in Manhattan most of my life, cops are who we counted on to keep us safe (full disclosure Ex and son both NYPD ret)
But how can we ever forget our great military that was held *hostage* in Nigeria just a week or so ago?!
WTF has happened to the USA??!!
The Commies and Islamic terrorists are here
And as we all know, America is no longer America.
And as John Cleese says, England isn’t England anymore.
The Socialist Democrats with Joe Biden at the helm. That is all that needs to be said about that.
It is “free speech” when they are interfering with others rights.
Wet behind the ears, and dumb!
Aggiegirl approves that message!
She lived it…I love her resistance to the ‘haters’.
I encourage all to read her 3 autobiographies….she knows what she is talking about. Its been a while since I read them…but if I remember correctly, she spent her First Communion Day, Catholic, or part of it, in a bomb shelter, in Lebanon.
“Donald Trump gave up his wealth for America. Joe Biden gave up America for his wealth.
Know the difference. Donald Trump was too patriotic for Washington, DC.”—Brigitte Gabriel
I don’t care about Israel, or Palestine. I care about America. America first!
The people who bring their hate to America, must be stopped….along with those embedded in our system, be they citizens, or anything else (in congress).
Outside paid reinforcements are coming everyday from our southern boundary.
We must root them out and do away with them by whatever means possible. If they are in Congress, they must be voted out, and if they are hidden among our citizenry, we must dig until we find them and we must get them out one way or the other until they are completely gone from our shores. We cannot tolerate their kind of hatred spewing out in our midst.
There is no Palestine..The are Palestinians but there is not a place
anywhere on a map called Palestine…
What concern of that mine??? No Palestinians have ever bothered me.
Have an Israeli’s?
You’d better care about Israel. This is a real domino theory unlike the Vietnam War.
Watching this reminds me of watching the video of Valerie Jarrett, during the Great Divider’s tenure, of her I think either a valedictorian or a graduation speech of some kind, at Stanford, claiming that the goal of making the US part of the worldwide caliphate was going well. 1978.
The video seems to have been long since scrubbed from the internet.
But yes, they’ve been outspoken about their true goals for a long time.
She needs a place in Trump’s cabinet (officially or unofficially) to take care of the Muslin problem here in our country. She would have a lot of passion to see it to completion.
One of the very few times I disagree with President Trump —
Bill Barr continues to remain “lethargic” as formerly accused.
Have we all been transported back in time to the 1979 movie set of “Being There” with Peter Sellers?
If so, this “Twilight Zone”- real life episode -not only features a drooling, depends wearing president.
His lawfare lackeys, inept handlers, and the fools in Congress (waving their miniscule Ukrainian flags) have joined the parade of useless idiots.
This is insane! 🤡
You are so right! It is a Twilight Zone-Real Life Episode. The one thing that really amazes me is the number of institutions and people that are involved in this episode. It’s not just a few Bad Apples. It’s
thousands of Bad Apples in the federal, state, local governments, federal and state courts, election officials, media personalities, private companies and just individuals that spout lies and misinformation supporting this corrupt nonsense.
I couldn’t dream we could become so widespread corrupt as we have become and that it’s definitely a Twilight Zone experience to me.
Agreed. It’s devastating and very frightening to witness this occurring in the US and the entire West.
I fear Americans will ultimately act as all past citizens of other countries did when communist/fascist tyranical regimes began stripping their rights, committing atrocities right b4 their eyes. They did nothing… and terrible results occurred. We humans do not like to believe that bad things will happen if we do nothing. We pretend b/c the alternative is so potentially life threatening.
50% of Jews remained in Nazi Germany. They couldn’t believe what ultimately did happen … could happen. They likely didn’t want to uproot themselves, abandon their homes, stuff, etc. They decided to “ride-it-out” and assumed all would be fine in the end. They were wrong. They lost everything anyway and not just their stuff. They lost their lives too. All those German Jews were sent to brutal, unfathomly inhumane concentration camps and most died there.
New Rasmussen poll has Biden and Trump at 46-46. That seems impossible… but the narrative is being constructed for a Biden win in November…
… and most likely using millions of fraud mail-in ballots – that are counted LAST in most states. That enables political operatives to bring out the number of fraud mail-in ballots needed to change a win for Trump to Biden.
Not enough is being done to protect election integrity and we are losing cases in a number of states.
JUST requiring that all mail-in ballots be verified and COUNTED the DAY they are received in the presence of a Trump campaign rep and Biden rep… would reduce the serious risk of massive nationwide election fraud very hard, nearly impossible, to commit.
We NEED to clean-up these voter registration rosters nationwide too. In most states, they are 40% inaccurate- contain ineligible voters… that can then be assigned a mail-in ballot without their knowledge… and they’ll never know.
Biden is now considering declaring a Climate Emergency in order to give himself 100 more dictatorial powers – used after 9/11 and Covid.
Sometimes I go for a few days not reading any media, podcasts, etc. Mentally, psychologically, it’s too stressful and distressing to read it. I know why many Americans keep their heads in the sand. It’s too much. It negatively affects our ability to function.
I also do worry that … maybe our generation really is the one that must endure the horror of Revelations and Armaggedon. BTW, there will be no pre-trib rapture… for those who erroneously believe they will escape suffering and testing … and be permitted to just watch it from on-high as a spectator. That ain’t gonna happen.
One Catholic priest – an official excorcist of the Catholic Church – declared that he was “brought” (not sure exactly how but miraculously) to the office of the Antichrist. They both saw each other and the alleged antichrist was surprised to see this priest in his office. Priest said this satanic man is alive and is already a world leader. Priest refused – not permitted – to disclose who it is… but said we will all know soon. That was about a year ago. This is a holy prayerful priest. He prays constantly everyday. You must be holy and close to God to serve as an excorcist. If you are not holy and close to God, you will be destroyed facing demonically possessed people you are trying to free from demons. Sometimes its easy but often it takes a while to free a demonically possessed person. It’s also not surprising the Catholic Church (RCC) would forbid him to say WHO the antichrist is. The RCC is extremely careful with any mystical pronouncements, visions like this… or anything similar. MOST of the alleged visions are rejected by the RCC. No other Christian Church investigates prophetic pronouncements like the RCC does. Those the RCC does approve as real and true – few- are true. I respect the RCC for that. I DO worry about the sitting pope though. The RCC has definitely been infiltrated by many, now, devilish clerics.
But… of the 12 Apostles Jesus Himself chose, one was a liar, unbeliever, betrayer – Judas. That’s 1 in 12.
The betrayal of Christ and the Gospel has infiltrated all other Christian denominations and churches too. Anyway… PRAY everyday as much as you can that God will have mercy on us even though we don’t deserve it.
Invoking The Blood of Jesus Christ as reparation for our sins and those of the whole world is a very powerful prayer at this time in human history. Pray.
I will follow the SCOTUS immunity case today. After that, no more scary insane “news” for a few days. It’s too much.
Lots of detail and it is mind boggling what is happening here in our wonderful country and all over the world.
It just reinforces my belief that the human race is deeply flawed. Our founders laid the framework for a free people to chase their dreams through their abilities and initiatives and restrained government intervention. However, humans took it from there and bastardized the intentions of our founders over many decades and we are what we have become because of it.
Some people claim that our country was founded for slavery. That is nowhere to be found, I think, in any founding documents, but some very flawed humans argued that they had that right and thus slavery was allowed. Later, less flawed individuals found that slavery was evil and illegal. My point I’m trying to make is this was done by humans/people, not our original government as originally founded.
Just ranting my frustrations about what we are experiencing today in our wonderful country.
JMO-Having a bad day
Yes the rapture 1 Thessalonians 4
When Paul says “we who are alive,” he’s referring to those who are on Earth AT the time of the Second Coming… which is post tribulation.
Why only write about something so important – Rapture — in just Thessolonians… and almost in passing?
Why not reveal the rapture in Revelations where it should properly be?
St. Paul was actually explaining how our bodies would rise instaneously. The thessolonians thought that those dead in Christ would rise in some long drawn out process. Not surprising b/c “man u r dust and unto dust u shall return.. etc” St. Paul was saying … no, it’s instantaneous.
Most of St. Paul’s letters were intended to correct misunderstandings, praise good behavior and scold bad behavior.
IF you/we get the Rapture, great! I WANT to escape the terrible suffering that will be the tribulation… but…
…. if you do not get the easy way out like you believed… will that cause you to become angry/bitter toward God?
Will you be prepared to sacrifice your life for the love of our savior? No.
You won’t be prepared b/c u assumed you’d escape.
OR … will you assume u were not worthy of rapture… and become despondent?
Satan will try to convince you that God didn’t rapture you bc you are destined to hell… bc God doesn’t love you.
No other Christians were spared. The early Christians were not spared martydom. The apostles were not spared either. Many have accepted martydom for the love if God. Jesus Himself suffered terribly because he loved us. Shall WE who live in relative luxury and ease… be asked to give LESS?
And… The Rapture was never part of Christian teaching until sometime between the 19th-20th centuries. It’s a tad prideful to assume that only in the past couple centuries did SOME christians realize the true meaning of thessolonians when millions of faithful Christians have studied the Scripture for almost 2000 years. No one ever noticed that line in Thessolonians b4?
Sure, go ahead and believe the lies Satan is spreading. Jesus told us Satan would be deceiving the elect — if possible — at the end of the age, and Satan’s lie about the rapture never being part of Christian teaching before the 19th century is one of his lies.
So here is more from 1 Thessalonians for you –
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
That says the Lord Himself will rapture His elect to meet Him in the air and always be with the Lord.
The the Bible immediately goes on to say,
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
“Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman who is pregnant, and they will never escape.”
Notice there that God’s elect know the times and seasons and have no need of anything to be written or explained to them. They know the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Well, how can that be? How can Jesus come like a thief in the night after we just read He will rapture His church so we meet Him in the sky? Two totally different events, for two totally different groups of people.
He tells us that WE know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night, and while people are living their lives from day-to-day and saying “Peace and safety!” destruction will come upon them, and they will never escape. God is not talking about His elect, His children whom He has already removed from this world, He has already caught us up = raptured us into Heaven to be with Him.
God’s elect will be raptured. Those headed for destruction will remain on earth and the Lord will then return — with His raptured children — and fight the final battle of Armageddon, and WIN.
The rapture is NOT about escaping anything. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that in this world we will have tribulation. The rapture, like everything The Sovereign God does, is for His glory and in His time. Christians will be caught up to meet our Savior in the air because it will be the fulfillment of God’s time and nothing more.
Whatever happens on this hard rock, Satan has no sway over the power of God’s perfect and unbreakable salvation given to his elect. I could do nothing to gain His favor, and I can do nothing to lose it, either.

5 minute 36 second video summary of what President Trump and the MAGA Movement are doing for our country and the world.
It’s not a new video but it is a refreshing reminder to all. I hope the link works and you are able to watch it.
The best is yet to come.
He is a flesh and blood builder/warrior who advocates for and promotes growth, faith, and freedom. I stand with President Donald Trump.

Doesn’t matter how many times that leftists screams, “This is assault! This is illegal!”, it doesn’t make the police actions either one.
But I’m sure the leftists will get a lot of traction from her screams, and the media will use it.
“This is assault! This is illegal!” will be a banner story in leftist cities today.
They aren’t protesting because they care about the outcomes in the Middle East or because they care about people. This is a coordinated and heavily globalist funded BS dance purely for the media coverage, which is also heavily coordinated.
Justice system is a woke joke in this country. Cops will be hung out to dry.
.
But largely meaningless where numbers are too overwhelming to be processed, and so no charges filed. Please see my comment above.
.
Law enforcement (very difficult job) will do what the politicians will allow and the judicial system revolving door will set them free.
Stanford did a study a while back, that explained a lot…am looking for it but cannot find it….it mentioned how even things they do, according to constituent wishes, never seem to work out as we expect.
I recall reading about that, but I read to many innate distortions in the perspecive of those writing it, to take it seriously.
Interesting article @ TGP, by a guy FROM Sweden, calls himself Peter Sweden,..
Sweden and Norway are both resisting goung cashless.
The Govt recently swung right, and is actually looking at forcing shops to accept cash.
A recent poll shows 80% want cash to stay, and the top reason given is “in case of emergencies”.
So, the more the WEFers create manufactured chaos, the less will ing people will be to accept CBDC.
I continue to think its the Globulusts wet dream, and they want it SO BAD, they are blind to the reality that its going to be impossible to actually implement.
But then, is my hope they THEY are succumbing to Hopium, just MY succumbing to Hopium?

Sweet grandma in the background, “That makes me cry.”
Me too.
Such a difference to when Biden sees a young person. President Trump has genuine love and compassion, Biden is looking to cop a feel.
President Trump understands a child’s individual boundaries, as well. That young man requested a big hug. No one urged him to do it.
And he looked for the parent.
For starters.
The power of hugs from a real hero

Trump Advisers Meadows, Giuliani Among 18 Indicted in Arizona Election Case

The left has spared no effort to tell us that as soon as possible they’re going to arrest, try, convict, and punish everyone associated with MAGA.
The GOPe seems to think that just means “oh good, those people we don’t like.” In historical examples of anti-populist action, from ancient Rome to 20th century dictators, has there ever been a time when the people who take power through force just stop with the original target? Never. In fact they *can’t* or else they’re swallowed up by the same fervor (c.f. France).
Once rolling the death machine rolls until it runs out of people it can find to kill or until an outside entity bothers to conquer it and make an end. Neither work out for the planners or for the sycophants.
Sans divine intervention in or before November not one of us patriots commenting on these free speech MAGA sites and the sites themselves will be left standing to voice our dissent.
This is Mao’s/Xi’s China and Stalin’s Soviet Union we are already witnessing everywhere with the clampdown on our Bill of Rights.
Actually, I beg to differ, with all respect.
They are NOT, currently “arresting, Trying, Convicting and punidhing everyone associated with MAGA.”
Have YOU been arrested for being MAGA?
ANYONE here arrested for being MAGA? Buhler?
No, they are engaging in INTIMIDATION.
Of the million in DC on J6, they have arrested how many?
With these various prosecutions, in Ga and now Michigan and Az. they are prosecuting a few, to make an example of them.
They can not possibly arrest, prosecute and incarcerate ALL of us, but like all tyrannist despots, they use the few as an example, to keep the many cowed.
The Singing revolution is called that in large part because it started when yuge audiences at large public events, began IN UNISON and so WITH UNITY to openly defy the Gov. by singing forbidden pre-soviet patriotic songs, knowing the Govt. could not arrest and prosecute them all.
Very much like football crowds chanting “FJB”.
” as soon as possible they’re going to arrest, try, convict, and punish everyone associated with MAGA.” != ” currently “arresting, Trying, Convicting and punidhing everyone associated with MAGA.””
Thanks for the misquote inverting my statement; thanks for playing; kthxbye.

File under: 2025, not-so-supreme-court criminality.
In 2025, some, if not all, of the not-so-supreme-court should be charged for being part of the 2021 democrat / GOPe coup attempt to overthrow the American Constitutional Republic and its President, President Trump.
Some, if not all, of the jurists on the court sat on their hands under their black robes and didn’t lift a finger to help the duly elected President Trump while he was being attacked by the enemies of the state, the 2021 coup-d’état committed by the democrats / GOPe.
Attempt after attempt was made by interested parties consisting of both private citizens and state officials….. singularly and in groups.
Without any evidentiary hearings, all of the suits were summarily dismissed by the not-so-supreme court.
For 3+ years they watched and did nothing to stop the treasonous activity while Americans suffered and died from the illegally certified, communist, biden administration.
Justice Robert’s criminal involvement extends back to the 2015 time frame when he obviously ignored the democrats / GOPe crimes committed in falsifying the paper work submitted to illegally spy on Presidential Candidate and then President Trump. He had the power and the duty to stop the coup in its tracks, in its earliest stage, and failed to do so.
The not-so-supreme-court, the Judicial Branch, was the first step in the planned Constitutional “backstop” to stop a treasonous government takeover, aka a coup. They didn’t do their duty, a crime in anybody’s book, especially an American patriot’s.
President Trump, as the 2025 Executive Branch —— lock, stock & barrel,—— will have the power of his oath to remove from the Executive Branch, any and all of the treasonous, unconstitutional, administrative state departments, policies, and personnel.
With a new, patriotic DOJ in place, all traitors within and without the federal government will be held accountable for their deadly, treasonous actions in the 2021 democrat / GOPe coup. That will include the not-so-supreme court jurists involved in the coup.
Americans died because of their failure to protect the duly elected President when they had the chance.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!

John Roberts absolutely knows of the corruption in his FISA court and has yet to lift a finger in addressing it. The fact that Boasberg has a job today is absolute proof that Roberts is in the middle of it and scared to death of the intel agencies.
Need to add how the Court Clerks Responsible for the FISC and DC Federal District (both under Justice John Roberts’ Supervision) ALWAYS seem to schedule just the right corrupt judges to support the US Government’s cases.
Their only pre-Cross Fire Hurricane goof when Judge Colliers was assigned to review the FISA 702 Abuse Report submitted by NSA Director Admiral Rogers.
They needed Judge Colliers court magistrate Bruce Rhinehart to sign the illegal search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. The other magistrates probably wouldn’t!

Georgia’s Election Board to Fulton County: Your 2022 Election Results Were False!, by
@EmeraldRobinson
https://www.emerald.tv/p/georgias-election-board-to-fulton?r=fdolb&triedRedirect=true
Fine, but where are the consequences?
If no consequences what will stop people from doing it again, and again, and….. ?
We’re eating it today because we have a gun pointed at us.
But, we don’t. I have no gun pointed at me, not REALLY.
I maybe have a THREAT of a gun being pointed at me, which is NOT the same thing at all.
Often people who make threats, in an attempt to control peoples behavior, have no intent or even ability to carry out their threat.
After all, if they really intended to punch you in the nose, WHY would they warn you first?
They threaten “If you do THIS, I will punch you in the nose!” in order to prevent you from doing ‘THIS’ whatever it is.
And, the more they escalate the threat, the less likely they are to actually act on it.
N.Korea, for example has enough artillary, etc. pointed at Seoul to make the rubble bounce, 10 times over…the overkill is bluster, trying to compensate.
Anyway, I don’t personally know anyone that has been arrested for being MAGA, and I doubt most here do, either.
They are using a relative few, to single out for horrible persecutions and thats wrong of coarse.
If PDJT returns to the Oval, hopefully that will be rectified, if not,…prisons are designed to keep people IN, not OUT and history tells us they are unable to do both, simultaneously,….knowmsayin?
The government rule by force is the lone reason MAGA doesn’t forcibly remove the idiots running the US.
Was looking for the Stanford study but found this article:
https://news.stanford.edu/2018/02/26/americans-dont-think-ear-elected-officials/
short excerpt: “Americans surveyed believe that the most important factor that should guide representatives’ voting decisions is the general public’s wishes. Eighty percent of respondents wanted representatives to pay substantial attention to the general public when making decisions about how to vote and 57 percent ranked the opinions of the general public as meriting the most attention of any source of influence, the researchers found.”
We haven’t had a representative government since Woodrow Wilson was installed as president.
That’s essentially mob rule or pure democracy. That doesn’t work either. A representative republic with free and fair elections is the answer. The lack of legit elections is how clowns like McConnell don’t worry about how his decisions impact voters.
Let’s get back to states choosing senators and auditable elections and outcomes will look different.
Fully willing to try, and certainly will continue to try, with reservations I am not sure we can “get back” to anything as we may concieve it to have existed in the past.
It may just be that it all has to be torn down, and built anew from scratch…which is an effort that could exceed our lifetimes to achieve.
Meanwhile, I will continue to focus on local and State, and on the R party officials that run the State party, understanding THEY are the ones that install the Politicians that draw everyones gaze.
Your U.S. Republican Senator or Representative does not send a form letter reply, when contacted by their State R party Chair, acting under orders from the Executive committee.
THATS who their boss is, its who got then their lucrative gig, and who either keeps them in office, or replaces them.
So, if we want to change Congress, we first have to change out our State R party leadership.
They vette and install the County Recorders (Red State) or passively put up no real challenge to the Dens candidate(Blue State) who rig the elections, and with that power they control ALL other elected officials.
Hence, Stalin lied; its NOT “who counts the votes”, its who, behind the scenes, DETIRMINES who counts the votes.
And, one way or another, in EVERY State, that is the State Republican Party Executive Committee.
“Imagine what we can do next…4 more years…Pause” states Biden on the campaign trail. That’s exactly what has happened in his 4 current years. At least a third of those 4 years have been a huge pause from governing, the other two thirds have been held by the puppeteer pulling his strings 😛

He doesn’t care and is not embarassed because judge is facilitating. And they all know it’s any lame excuse to force Trump to sit in a courtroom being threatened and chastized to give the titillated dirtbags a thrill.

BREAKING NEWS….Republican AGs all over the country are convening Grand Juries to indict democrats for anything and everything! Oh sorry…April Fools was 25 days ago. The only flag in the GOP arsenal is a white flag.
When a candidate or party steals an election, staying on offense is the only option. I think we’ve seen that play out over and over and over.
There is no graceful way to dismount the Carousel of Election Crime once you get on. It keeps spinning faster and faster, demanding more and greater crimes to hide the previous crimes.
You know–the same way a toilet flushes.
Isaiah 1
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.
Amen!
One question: does it go the opposite direction in the Southern hemisphere?
Like a toilet, while it may SPIN in the opposite direction, it goes down the same way.
The advent of lawfare
Republicans are cucks.
see if this tweet shows up; as the twitter/X handle PFT Commenter says – One of His Best!
if it doesn’t show, it’s a President Trump tweet/X that says:
“Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him “Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy (New York Post!). Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word “Lethargic” from my statement. Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!”
That’s just good stuff right there.

Also, “Not only are you not getting the job but you are designated an enemy of MAGA. Go get your affairs in order.”

Here’s the entire translation of Segal’s report.
**Imminent internarional arrest warrants for Israeli officials: ” _It would not have been possible without a ‘green light’ from the U.S_ .”*
Senior officials in The Hague reportedly explained that the chief prosecutor at the IC would not have taken such a dramatic step without American consent.
According to them, Karim Kahn, the chief prosecutor, was elected three years ago thanks to U.S. support. After being elected, Kahn closed two cases that greatly troubled the United States: one related to secret detention cells in Europe related to Afghanistan, and the other related to war crimes committed in Afghanistan.
Regarding the intention to issue arrest warrants for senior Israelis, the sources at The Hague said that it is impossible that the chief prosecutor would have decided on such a dramatic step – in a war that is still ongoing – with very little evidence, if he had not at least gotten a “green light” from the Americans. If true, this is yet another unprecedented low in relations between Israel and the United States at a very sensitive time on the eve of the ground operation into Rafah.
Jerusalem has recently received relays indicating that the chance of issuing arrest warrants has dramatically increased, possibly as early as next month. The Prime Minister’s Office held an urgent discussion on the issue last week, in which serious concerns were raised about allowing the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli security and political leaders, including against Netanyahu himself.
At the end of the discussion, a decision was made to try to take some last-minute efforts at The Hague and in front of influential political parties, in order to prevent the issuance of the arrest warrants. During his meetings with the foreign ministers of the U.K. and Germany in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Netanyahu asked for their assistance in this matter before the ICJ.
Hilarious. Good luck with that enforcement. Any trial would be entertaining.
I went back after I posted this and reread a very troubling part embedded:
After being elected, Kahn closed two cases that greatly troubled the United States: one related to secret detention cells in Europe related to Afghanistan, and the other related to war crimes committed in Afghanistan.
Obviously this must have flown right over my head cause I didn’t hear/know anything about secret detention cells in the Europe related to Afghanistan. The organized criminal governments are getting bolder 😛
I think Sundance addressed this at the time. He pays very close attention to the chaos being sown worldwide by our TPTB.

In order to rendition someone, you have to have black sites to take them to initially, before transporting them out of the country.
Specifically recall a German citisen, snatched off the street, eventually he ended up in some ME Country, tortured for a couple of years, eventually released,…remember the Afgan war was over 20+ years and was initiated soon after 9/11.
Hence when they say ” related to afganistan” they mean ‘related to the War on Terror, declared by the U.S. after 9/11.’
Be extremely wary of any media activists who use false propaganda terms such as “fake electors” for “alternate electors” or “subvert” for “challenge.” They will by definition fail to cover the use of lawfare as campaign strategy.
Purely for news and expensive defense.

Why Are They Destroying Us?
If someone wished to destroy America, could he do anything more catastrophic than what we currently see and hear each day? What would an existential enemy do that we have not already done to ourselves?
“Done to ourselves”
This ignores incontrovertible fact that our elected and unelected governments are no longer a part of “ourselves.” The march through the institutions has had this as its end: Tyrannical rulers and plebes.
Also ignores the CCP strategy document on “Asymetrical warfare” written by two Colonels in the 80’s, now Generals and which lays out EVERYTHING we are seeing.
“…which have received no kingdom as yet; but will rule as kings one hour with The Beast.” Rev. 17:12.
That’s it. One ‘hour’ of power. That’s why they’re selling us out.
I’ve read that it doesn’t end well for them.
This rule will institutionalize the disastrous policies now in place that enable the trafficking and abuse of children coming illegally from other countries.
The UN’s Open borders Pact is a fancy term for plain old human trafficking. Obammy actually called it “unaccompanied minors.”
That’s a laugh.. as if a bunch of children decided to trek across the desert across the Rio Grande on their own steam!

EU state ready to help Ukraine hunt down military-aged men
Many Poles are “outraged to see young Ukrainian men in cafes,” the defense chief has claimed
“The Ukrainian authorities are doing everything to provide new soldiers to the front, because the needs are huge,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
And why would that be, a mother cried?
The Age of Conscription (for military draft) in Ukraine is 25 years of age. In the US, it’s 18! Ukraine needs to get busy and at least try to fight for itself.
Missing from the story is that there have been stories for a long time (2 years) of the Ukrainian Government literally press-ganging 18-40 year olds into service and going after males of similar age who have left the country ahead of the Press-Gangs. This DRAFT AGE increase story is a belated CYA effort.
This includes stories from NATO Troops on the front lines IN THE UKRAINE as well as from NATO Trainers commenting on the age of the Ukrainians they encounter.
…in the ghetto…
A great one by the King!
I’d rather Ukrainians fight for their Ukrainian fascist govt. But it’s still a pretty dark precedent set for 3rd party countries to essentially hunt down bodies for the slaughter
We have a couple of them near us here…they seem quite lovely.
Their young kids too.
We are all ruled by lunatics.
Here in Canada, the U.S. the U.K. the E.U. and many other countries.
Who the heck would willing fight for these globalist psychopaths?

FDA finds traces of H5N1 bird flu viruses in grocery store milk but says pasteurized dairy products are still safe
April 23, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/health/bird-flu-milk-fda/index.html
The US Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that it had detected viral particles of H5N1 avian influenza in milk purchased at grocery stores, but the agency says it still believes that the milk is safe to drink.
In an update about an ongoing outbreak of bird flu in cattle, the FDA noted that it believes the viral particles were detected by highly sensitive lab tests and are likely to have been remnants of viruses killed during the pasteurization process. The agency said that it does not think it is likely that the particles would able to infect people but it is conducting additional tests to be completely sure.
The FDA said these egg inoculation tests are “a gold-standard” for determining whether a virus is still viable and able to infect people.
“To date, we have seen nothing that would change our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe. Results from multiple studies will be made available in the next few days to weeks,” the agency said.

There Is More To This Current Bird Flu Panic Than Meets The Eye
April 18, 2024
https://themostimportantnews.com/archives/there-is-more-to-this-current-bird-flu-panic-than-meets-the-eye
The fact that so many different types of mammals are now being infected is definitely alarming.
But perhaps cows would not be getting infected if we were not literally feeding them chicken crap…
“It seems ghoulish, but it is a perfectly legal and common practice for chicken litter — the material that accumulates on the floor of chicken growing facilities — to be fed to cattle,” said Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union.
It is not known if eating chicken crap is why so many cows in so many different states are being infected with H5N1.
But at a time when the bird flu is running rampant among chickens and turkeys, it seems very foolish to take chicken crap and feed it to our cows.
The bird flu is very dangerous, and if it starts spreading among humans on a widespread basis a lot of people will die.
So why are U.S. taxpayer dollars being used to fund experiments in China that are specifically designed to make bird flu viruses even more deadly? The following comes from an extremely shocking Daily Mail article:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13314917/Lab-leak-bird-flu-China-army-USDA.html
Lawmakers are demanding answers after it was revealed the US is sending taxpayer dollars to a Chinese army lab to make bird flu viruses more dangerous to people.
Eighteen members of Congress are demanding answers from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) about the project, which was first revealed by DailyMail.com.
It is part of a $1million collaboration between the USDA and the CCP-run Chinese Academy of Sciences – the institution that oversees the Wuhan lab at the center of the Covid lab-leak theory.
In a scathing letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack last week, the bipartisan group said: ‘This research, funded by American taxpayers, could potentially generate dangerous new lab-created virus strains that threaten our national security and public health.’
Let me go break out my cloth mask and find the nearest vaxx center. Hope they give me a sticker.
A sticker? I wouldn’t settle for less than French fries!
Do they still call them “freedom fries”?
“Fries with that Groundhog Burger?”
If you get the ‘ clot shot’ you will get some fries.
Insane that some people sold their bodies for French fries. Could it happen again?
Or, if seriously concerned about what kind of viruses the mad scientists may unleash on humanutty,…you could contact Global pharmacy, and ask about a product (2 pill treatment, actually) that they carry for HIV treatment.
While its marketed for HIV, and specifically for partners OF HIV patients to ‘protect’ against them getting infected, being an antiretroviral it is equally ‘protective’ against pretty much any virus.
To do more research on the meds, search “PEP and PREP Treatments for HIV”.
Used in the event of rape, or a “one nite stand” where the attackers/partners HIV status is unknown, and if started within 3 days there is highly effective at preventing infection, (thats PEP Post Exposure Prophyliaxis) and is a short term coarse of treatment,.
There is also PREP or PreExposure Prophyliaxis, that can be taken before a one nite stand, or long term by monogomous partners of HIV+individuals.
Yeah, I know just sayin, ..its a way to aquire a stash of meds that SHOULD effectively protect yo and yours against most any virus these crazy m.f.ers come up with, from bird flu to ebola.

US Secretly Armed Ukraine With Long-Range ATACMS Last Month
APR 25, 2024
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/us-secretly-armed-ukraine-long-range-atacms-last-month
The US confirmed on Wednesday that it had secretly sent Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) last month as part of a $300 million arms package.
The long-range ATACMS can be fired from the HIMARS rocket systems and can hit targets up to 190 miles away, a range that marks a significant escalation in US support for Ukraine.
In response to that news, the Kremlin reaffirmed its long-stated position that it will take more territory in Ukraine to counteract the long-range NATO missiles.
ATACMS have been there since October 2023.

Listen for any mention of standing. If the Court does not want to get into the tangled issue of which acts are within presidential immunity and which aren’t, this is a way of disposing of the case. The argument is, and two groups of lawyers, one with Edwin Meese, have argued that Jack Smith had no standing to bring indictments because he was unconstitutionally appointed.
See: https://reason.com/volokh/2024/04/21/special-counsel-jack-smith-lacks-standing-to-defend-the-d-c-circuits-ruling-on-presidential-immunity-in-the-supreme-court/
This could likely blow out Smith’s Florida documents case, too.
Why wouldn’t legal scholar Merrich Garland, with a whole DOJ FULL of Lawyers to research the details and advice him, and intent on “”getting Trump” (and so presumably wanting to ‘do it right’) insure that he correctly, legally/constitutionally appointed THE Special Prosecutor that was going to prosecuting the two most important cases against PDJT?
The Occams razor explanation is NOT that this was due to carelessness, or eagerness but was intentionally done, because the cases Smith is pursueing have the potential to “backfire” with the Florida Case affirming PDJT can release the docs, and the DC case affirming no Insurection, and they wanted an emergency exit, in case the cases “got away from them”.
It’s carelessness! They have been told since learning to walk that they are the smartest people in the world.
They are not!

Something very fishy about these protests.
Gains sympathy for Jews and Israel, for some.
Notice how the media never discusses why they’re protesting?
Gaza being totally destroyed. Thousands of Palestinians dead. USA being sucked into a war with Iran because of this.
Yeah–Obama’s going to declare war on Iran.
Right.
Why not? Obammy can just pivot on his heels and display his boney posterior to the imams.
Or act to truly support israel or Bibi,…NOT.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when at first we attempt to decieve.
I am neither pro-palestinian nor pro-israeli GOVERNMENT, as am pro AMERICA FIRST.
Just think Joes people are painted into a corner; they are really undermining BiBi, with half-hearted and highly conditional military support, and yet even that is bringing the ire of these protesters and also the “muslim community in America” while simultaneously pissing off all of the “friends of Israel” including orthodox type jews.
Only Joe could piss off BOTH sides, in the run up to an election, lol.
It’s simply the reflection of Barry’s Double Game.

Yesterday I posted a heads up from Alex Christoforu, that the new script includes “six month delay”.
I found this last night:
Zelensky on US aid: ‘We will do everything to compensate for the 6 months that have passed in debate and doubt’
President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his April 24 evening address that Ukraine “will do everything” to compensate for the six months that passed while the country waited for the U.S. to pass further assistance for Kyiv.
After months of political infighting and a deteriorating situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, the U.S. House of Representatives finally passed the crucial foreign aid package on April 20, which includes $60.84 billion for Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden first requested Congress approve the aid last October.
Biden on April 24 signed the foreign aid bill containing nearly $61 billion for Ukraine into law, marking the final step of the legislative process.
Zelensky thanked Biden, Congress, and all the Americans who support Ukraine in its defense against the Russian full-scale invasion.
“Now, we will do everything to compensate for the six months that have passed in debate and doubt,” the president said.
https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-on-us-aid-now-we-will-do-everything-to-compensate-for-the-six-months-that-have-passed-in-debate-and-doubt/
Zelensky is himself a scriptwriter, he could have written this.
This may have been up before:
EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher helped advance Color Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, arguing that regime-change operatives could “govern a country” by capturing radio stations.
Now she has taken over NPR, bringing the Color Revolution home.
Real people do not listen to NPR any longer. It’s an echo chamber. Now, Soros buying up radio stations, that may be a threat.
She sucks. NPR sucks. Her message is idiotic. She’s a leftist totalitarian wannabe.
Her 11 listeners are already in her fold, so who cares.
Just second the idiots and lets those 11 migrate to MSNBC to listen to Ricky, Joy, Mika and Joe. Same, same.
You could even say she glows.
Not a good start with SC
In what way?
Open arguements were weak. His voice does not help. They are tearing him up. Should pointing out the big difference between private and public.
Meh. The arguments are window dressing / stagecraft. The justices know the issue at hand and it isn’t a hard decision, unless they want to destroy the executive’s ability to govern.
I jumped in while Kagan was questioning the lawyer whom I don’t know the name of, and she was giving him a very hard time over what right the Pres. has to immunity. Says it’s not actually a provision of the Constitution. That was among other snarky comments she made, very much alluding to PTrump, stating the election was compromised etc.
The lawyer was sort of holding his own but seemed a bit off as far as his rebuttals to her, lacking the snarky energy she was giving to him. Maybe the SC protocol demands lawyers be very even toned. I don’t know since I’ve never been a lawyer or been to the SC.
Kind of hard to tell without seeing it live, but she seemed to be having her way with him. I hope the rest is more energetic on the Trump side going forward. My listening was just a snippet also so the other justices may have been different in attitude and questioning.
Thanks for the info – have to admit that I have been pretty disappointed thus far with the energy level of most of the lawyers representing conservatives at SCOTUS…when KBJ and ACB pushed on the lawyer arguing the 1st Amendment/censorship case he seemed very tentative and ill prepared. Now it sounds like the same thing is happening here. Very frustrating and more than a little concerning!
However, as Jeff Childers of the Coffee and Covid blog points out, many lawyers are understandably concerned about which cases they take, since lawfare is now being directed at them, as well as their clients….
“It’s getting risky for lawyers to represent conservatives in elections. Since 2020, I’ve litigated five local election-related cases representing conservative candidates (not the Trump election; it was after that). In three cases I won, I was personally sued for bringing or winning the case. I am blessed to work in Florida and ultimately prevailed in all three lawsuits. But in one case, where my unlikely co-defendant is Governor DeSantis, we had to win all the way up through the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Now the democrats are seeking an appeal at the Supreme Court.
Toting the numbers, I’ve been sued personally as the lawyer by democrats in three elections cases out of five. I can’t deny it makes me think harder about taking any future elections cases. It’s like a bad BOGO; buy one election case, and get one expensive civil lawsuit for free.
It’s a problem. Every good lawyer who might consider taking a case later this year must carefully consider the risk of eventually becoming a criminal defendant under some warped DA’s thinly-sliced legal theory, not to mention the possibility of being fired from your firm, disbarred, and blacklisted.”
DC Resident to Mayor: Since Homeless Encampments Are Permitted, Can Tourists Camp Too?

https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/04/24/dc-homeless-encampments-permitted-remain-does-mean-tourists-can-camp-too-resident-asks-mayor/
If Washington, D.C., isn’t going to clean up homeless encampments, it should embrace equal opportunity for all and allow tourists to pitch a tent and save on hotel costs, one city resident says.
“If … it is your policy to continue to allow individuals and groups to sleep, cook, and live on city-controlled grassy areas, then you should announce this opportunity to both American and foreign visitors so that they can enjoy the experience and savings as well,” S.R. Hankinson writes in an open letter to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat.
That’s exactly right.
I’ve been saying this for a long time.
Tourists could go on a road trip and never pay for a hotel.
In OR every city is ordered to provide free camping over night.
.
What about all the Congresspeople who complain how expensive it is for them to live in DC?
Shouldn’t they be allowed to camp out on the grassy knolls, also . . .?
Alex Berenson is incensed over this case against Donald Trump, as any stickler for accuracy should be:
The lawfare against Donald Trump hits new heights today
New York v Trump is a joke – 34 felonies for what comes down to misclassifying spending in a payment ledger – but the elite media is keeping a straight face.
Alex Berenson
This morning, I reread New York state’s 34-count felony indictment of Donald Trump – and the indictment’s accompanying “statement of facts.” I wanted to be sure the case was as bizarre as I remembered.
It was worse.
Donald Trump’s first criminal trial officially began today with opening statements in a lower Manhattan courthouse. That dry statement is true, as far as it goes. But it does not begin to capture the miscarriage of justice unfolding before our eyes – or the profound consequences it will have, whatever its outcome.
Yet the elite media has gone along with the charade, just as it did in the insane New York state civil trial of Trump that ended two months ago. Reporters have covered both cases as if they were normal uses of prosecutorial power, rather than explaining what is really happening in them and how bleeding-edge aggressive are the legal theories underlying them.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-lawfare-against-donald-trump
Should Donald Trump refuse to participate in his show trial in Manhattan?
I’m serious. Democratic prosecutors in New York are bringing a fundamentally corrupt case against Trump. Maybe he needs to stop legitimizing his tormentors.
Alex Berenson
The Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the American justice system.
Like Trump or dislike him (and as you know, I dislike him), he is neck-and-neck with Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election. Trying the leader of the opposition party on criminal charges is no small matter in a democracy. It should be reserved for very serious crimes – espionage, for example – with irrefutable evidence.
As I wrote Monday, this indictment is the opposite.
Trump faces 34 felony counts for the way he classified internal accounting entries. Prosecutors are relying on hyper-aggressive legal theories and making the case a referendum on Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, which was wildly unpopular in New York. They are almost openly telling the jury to punish Trump for having won.
So what, if anything, can Trump do at this point?
