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.

‘Nuttin Butt Azz’ Basketball Tournament at High School
Twerking in THongs
I’m sorry but that needs to be stopped.
I’m not on Instagram. So I could not view the video.
Where are the mothers and grandmothers?
They should be grabbing those girls by the ear and dragging them off the court.
The article was from Breitbart and you can view…at your own risk. It is a disgusting display of very overweight women wearing thongs twerking. Truly disgusting!
Don’t apologize. I didn’t try to see it. I know how idiotic it is. Don’t the girls realize that will make them a target for rape and murder. Where are their brains? Don’t answer that…….
That video is too disgusting for words. Is there no shame any more?
At least they weren’t men. As far as I could tell. So they have that going for them.
That guy is new to the concept of making an apology; he *does not know how* to do so effectively.
He coulda shoulda had somebody with basic language skills write something down for him.

Murdered by Illegal Aliens
The Harris County DA Kim Ogg today said that those two perps will be tried on capital charges. If found guilty, they will be eligible for the death sentence.
Too bad Kim Ogg lost her primary to another candidate who is said to have been backed by Soros money.
Get this case done before January 1st when Kim Ogg has to leave office.
They strangled that poor girl with their bare hands after raping and torturing her for two hours. Insane evil monsters being ushered into our country every damn day.
Wonder if the border agents asked them “Will you murder anyone?” and the response from the illegal aliens was “Of course not!” “Ok you’re good to go.”? Is that the screening being used? How many more 12 year old girls will be raped, strangled and dumped face down in a drainage ditch before the border is closed and illegal aliens are arrested on sight and detained then deported? We can’t protect our children from the criminal hoard Biden is letting walk into the country! Unbelievable and sickening to the very soul!
The ship has already left the docks, despite three years of warnings from people who are willing to name the people destroying elections and call out their practices.
Here, I recount the stupidity of Arizona’s 2022 midterms and overall national election procedures that mask transparency and therefore force us to trust those who say to simply feed them more ballots earlier, and everything will turn out just fine, and the results will be honored.
We will never win this battle if we don’t acknowledge that the vote count, its duration, and its accompanying narratives bury any and all efforts to outmaneuver people who have been doing this a lot longer.
I hope TPUSA and Presler are right – but… let’s go ahead and ignore the cobra in the room.

Illegal Aliens Kidnap Indiana teen
MUST READ!
We are finding explosive details that there is a “Digital Driver License Program” being accepted by multiple states since 2021.
These digital licenses could be issued to the millions of illegals crossing the board and allow them circumvent standing in lines at our local DMVs.
We already see the illegals being given smart phones as well as a new app that allows them to apply for asylum.
But worst of all, this process could be automatically registering these illegals to vote. And since they would have a “valid” state ID, what could stop them from voting in person?
More help digging on this to verify if illegals do have these IDs.

The real problem is once we deport all the illegals, we then have to also purge them from the voter rolls.
Seven federal agencies have pushed tech giants to censor Americans, Media Research Center says
The MRC analyzed actions of several federal agencies as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hand down its opinion on Murthy v. Missouri, a case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana to prevent the Biden administration from colluding with and coercing Big Tech companies to censor Americans. The watchdog group found that the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Justice, Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, National Science Foundation, and Department of the Treasury have all pushed for various forms of censorship.
“One document shared with financial institutions by federal law enforcement ‘noted that those Americans who expressed opposition to firearm regulations, open borders, COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the ‘deep state’ may be potential domestic terrorists,’ despite them not having to be suspected of committing any specific crimes,” she added.

Government – Big Social Media Censorship Industrial Complex
Once one realizes that Federal Agencies created Big Tech in the first place, then one quickly realizes stories like these are a big smoke screens to continue “the appearance” that we live in a functioning Constitutional Republic.
It all goes back to a six minute speech by President Trump I’ve posted here several times over the past week.
In it, he states “Our movement is not just another four year election. This is a crossroads for our civilization.”
Those are pretty strong words. That is not just your usual pre-election rhetoric just to get your vote. He isn’t simply looking for votes. He’s trying return the country back to us, We the People.
There has to be enough people who are awakened to what’s been going on, so they hear what he’s saying and join in the fight to wrestle back control.
Here’s the speech. In the first few sentences he states, “Our movement is about removing the corrupt establishment and creating a new government.”
Think of those words. That’s a big deal!
If anyone hears those words and STILL thinks there isn’t some sort of “Master Plan” underway to take down the deep state and drain the swamp, then I don’t know if anything will convince you.
If I were of that mindset, then I would be asking myself, “What does draining the swamp look like? What does taking down the deep state look like? Am I already witnessing it, but just don’t yet recognize it?
Should I listen to this short six minute speech again and listen to the words carefully? Will I then say, “Well son of a bitch! He is draining the swamp and taking down the deep state.”
Those two promises are the most important of our favorite President’s “Promises Made, Promises Kept”.
Only after those two have been accomplished can we get to “The best is yet to come.”
And we will get there because nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing!
Thank you for posting this Maga Minuteman! That is an awesome video and I shared it on Facebook and like you I intend to reshare it several times in the weeks and months to come to hopefully wake a few more people up to the truth! Thank you again and God Bless you patriot!
Utah Governor Cox Paid Private Company to Collect Signatures for Ballot, Now Unwilling to Prove Signature Validity
June 20, 2024
Spencer Cox spent $415,000 for 28,000 signatures to stay on the primary ballot and refuses to verify or allow access to the signatures.
There is an active criminal investigation in Washington County against the same company cox paid to collect signatures.
Extreme lack of transparency with this process. The public has zero access to these signatures. WHY!?
1) We don’t know how many were turned in.
2) We don’t know the rate of verification.
3) They were all verified by a single office.
Where is the media who’s supposed to ask these questions to get answers for the public?
We are told to blindly trust, where’s the verification that should come with this?
These signatures may be legitimate. But how can we be certain?
The public deserves transparency in our elections processes!

The Murky Business of Transgender Medicine
The “gender-affirming care” business has always had an aura of madness around it. Wielding the authority of white coats and prestigious degrees, doctors have convinced large swaths of the public that some children are “born in the wrong body.” The solution? Stop puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones, and then, with the stroke of a knife, remove body parts—most commonly breasts, less frequently genitalia.
These medical practices use scientific rhetoric to affirm what is, at bottom, an ideological program. And gender activists have been successful enough at capturing the legitimizing institutions—medical societies, regulatory bodies, and teaching hospitals—to repel most challenges to the burgeoning child sex-change industry.
Now, though, the consensus appears to be shifting. European governments have backed away from many of these dubious procedures. In England, the Cass Review has raised grave questions about the scientific evidence behind “gender-affirming care.” In the United States, the public has turned decisively against the use of puberty blockers and gender surgeries on minors, with some state legislatures banning the practice.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-murky-business-of-transgender-medicine
Don’t support medical and surgical intervention for children suffering from gender dysphoria? Well, I think the FBI is gonna have a problem with that.
How the Associated Press gets election results to report to the public, according to them. This also matches what we see locally.
On election night, there will be a couple people from the press, usually someone from Edison is there. They are present for the announcing of the results right at 8pm.
They are given the same print out as the observers. Then they hop on the phone and read the numbers to someone on the other end of the line.
It’s like a game of telephone. Remember as a kid, how things would get all scrambled up by the time it made it around the circle?
This could be part of the reason we see changes to the totals on election night. It’s not as exciting as some other theories, but should be considered as well.

Horrific new details revealed about Rachel Morin’s brutal rape and murder as suspect denied bail
Rachel Morin was strangled as well as savagely beaten, it was revealed Friday — as the illegal Salvadorian migrant accused of raping and killing the mom-of-five was denied bail.
Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, a 23-year-old suspected gangbanger, attended the Friday hearing via video link from the Harford County Detention Center dressed in a black and white striped jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind his back.
The court heard that Morin, a 37-year-old mom, was brutally beaten to death and found partially naked after she was attacked on the Ma & Pa Heritage hiking trail in Bel Air, Maryland, on Aug. 4.
Hernandez is charged with first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree rape and first- and second-degree assault.
According to police, the fatal assault was so brutal that her family said it appeared as though “her head had been smashed with a rock.”
Authorities said Hernandez entered the US illegally in February 2023 and was known to be affiliated with violent street gangs in El Salvador, where he is suspected in the murder of another woman.

On June 25th, the OSOS will have a public hearing to implement the removal of the 30-day residency requirement for voters in Washington State.
Now, not only can you register to vote same day until 8PM on election day, but you no longer have to attest to being a resident for at least 30 days prior to registering and casting your vote.
This is in direct violation of the Washington State Constitution and we must fight to protect the right of the citizen to vote.

Another Transgender goes Berserk Mass Murderer
Transgender Utah woman shot parents dead, told police she would ‘do it again’: police
An “armed and dangerous” transgender woman accused of gunning down her parents in their Utah home spurred an hours-long manhunt this week, telling authorities she would “do it again” after her capture.
Mia Bailey, 28, was arrested Wednesday and charged with 11 felony counts related to the double homicide of parents Joseph, 70, and Gail Bailey, 69, and the attempted murder of her brother, according to the Washington City Police Department.
Bailey allegedly broke into her parents’ home around 7 p.m. on Tuesday and shot her father in the head and her mother three times, police told KSL.
She then went downstairs to find her brother and his wife locked in his bedroom and shot through the door before fleeing the scene. Both survived; Bailey later told police that she didn’t care whether the shot killed her brother, according to court documents reviewed by KUTV.
“Mia told officers that she went to the residence with the intent to kill her parents,” the affidavit read. “Mia stated ‘I would do it again. I hate them.”

Dr. Tony (“I am Science” and I love to torture Beagle puppies to death) Fauci blames “president’s staff” NOT President Trump
Fauci blames Trump admin staff for feeding him misinformation, animosity
Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci in a new interview blamed former President Trump’s staff for feeding him misinformation and becoming “furious” over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fauci said he and Trump got along “very well” at times. But, he added, when stay-at-home and social distancing orders were initially placed in March 2020, the former president went along with it, hoping “understandably, but not realistically,” that it would be similar to the flu and “disappear like magic.”
“And I was saying you know, it’s not,” the doctor said, adding that the disagreement happened in front of the press.
But, the doctor continued, Trump “didn’t seem to get that upset with me, but his staff started to be gradually furious with me for doing that.”
After the former president claimed hydroxychloroquine, a medicine used to treat malaria symptoms, would combat COVID-19 and Fauci publicly rejected the argument, he said the White House team started to “try to discredit everything I said.”

Lovely to see Canvassing Boards across the country are waking up to their responsibility to actually agree that elections are legal and accurate before certification.
Just having a few commissioners with the guts to challenge a certification has compelled the radical left to use lawfare and force to make them do what the fraudsters want them to do, which only serves to wake up more people on how widespread the fraud is and who is ultimately responsible for it.

KJP Claims Video Where She Said Biden Video Was A Deepfake Was Also A Deepfake
https://babylonbee.com/news/kjp-claims-video-where-she-said-biden-video-was-a-deepfake-was-also-a-deepfake
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an awkwardly contentious exchange with reporters today, Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the video where she said embarrassing videos of President Joe Biden were deepfakes was also a deepfake.
Confusion arose this week after Jean-Pierre alleged that Biden had been the victim of a smear campaign by right-wing extremists to circulate doctored videos that make the president appear incompetent and feeble, though she now claims the video of her doing so was also a deepfake.
“That’s clearly not a real video of me,” said the black and gay White House Press Secretary, who is gay and also black.
“These far-right conspiracy theorists will stop at nothing to spread their dangerous propaganda. Any evidence that allegedly shows me saying video clips depicting the president as unfit to serve were deepfakes is clearly a deepfake.”
They Rarely Report the Revisions – Three Months of 2023 Job Gains Wiped Out After Updates

One of the Bidenary impacts to economic analysis and/or economic outcome review has been the inability of any government statistical data to make any sense.
Quite frankly, almost every financial pundit in mainstream media pretends the data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) or the Dept of Commerce is accurate. It’s not, and we all know it.
Just like every other institution in Washington DC, the systems of economic tracking have lost all their credibility.
That said, even with all the pretending intended to prop-up the Biden administration, eventually the results on Main Street are so obvious the data manipulators have to quietly attempt to smooth the disconnect. This story below is about one small part of that operation.

‘No Tax On Tips’ Reveals the Chasm Between Left and Right
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/06/no_tax_on_tips_reveals_the_chasm_between_left_and_right.html
President Trump has focused his 2024 campaign on a number of issues that one would expect, but he shook up the game this summer by issuing a new policy proposal: “No Tax On Tips.”
While his campaign hasn’t released the usual detailed policy papers on it yet, the president made it clear what he means: “restaurant workers, hospitality workers, and anybody else who gets tips.”
The Left responded immediately with what they see as the downside: by reducing federal taxes on tips, federal revenues would drop by a huge amount of money, or at least, by an amount of money that sounds huge.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget declared that this program would likely cost the federal government between $150 and $250 billion in revenues over ten years. The Democrats consider this terribly irresponsible.
But they happily spend that much in weaponry for a war between Russia and Ukraine, or for hotels, food, education, transportation and hospital bills for illegal aliens. At least President Trump’s proposal is for American workers.
And when you re-read that number, you see that the estimate is over ten years. That means the accountants are estimating a cost to the federal government averaging $15 to $25 billion per year, in a nation with a federal government currently running a $2 trillion deficit on a $6.5 trillion annual budget.
The rest of article can be found at American Thinker…its a good one fer sure.
Servers have to pay a certain percentage of the subtotal of their receipts as a tax on their tips. Whether the patron left that much in tips to you or not. Back in the day when server minimum wage was $1.90 per hour that percentage was 8.5% in NY. Not sure what it is now.
I will probably reveal my age group, when I was approaching my 20s, took a $.50/hr job just to get the extra $20 daily in tips. The tips were given to me personally and not thrown into a pool to be divided by all the workers that shift nor reported for taxes. Those were the days…
Early in college, I waited tables at a nearby Howard Johnson’s. Mid 1970’s, Carter admin. My paid wage was $1.64 per hour plus all tips( that were not taxed). The low hourly rate was rationalized by tips not being taxed. I did that for four months.
That was my wake up call…I was just a college freshman but I realized that one could not live off of those wages and tips. In a four hour shift, I brought ‘home’ about ten dollars in tips.
I don’t know what the dollars compare to in 2024 finances but I imagine its not much better unless one works at a high end establishment.
Googled: Overall, 43% of U.S. adults say they have ever personally worked in a job where they received tips. Roughly six-in-ten (57%) have not had this experience. Younger adults, those in lower-income households and women are all somewhat more likely than others to have worked in this type of job.Nov 14, 2023

EXCLUSIVE: Archbishop Viganò confirms he has not and will not attend Vatican ‘schism’ trial
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/exclusive-archbishop-vigano-confirms-he-will-not-attend-vatican-schism-trial/
The following is a statement sent exclusively to LifeSiteNews by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on Friday, June 21, 2024.
(LifeSiteNews) — The reports spread by certain media outlets, stating that I presented myself yesterday, Thursday, June 20, at the Palace of the Holy Office, as intimated to me by the Decree of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, is devoid of any foundation. These reports are completely false.
The Jesuit magazine America, the media arm of the Society of Jesus in the United States and the megaphone of the “church of mercy” of the Jesuit Bergoglio, has rushed ahead, while Vatican News (here) was still totally unaware of the Decree sent to me on June 11, only by a simple email, without respecting those formalities necessary for the validity of the communication of a Decree, and which I myself published on X two hours before the meeting scheduled at the Dicastery. Although all the elements were clearly stated in my communiqué, inferences and speculations took precedence, in typical Jesuit style.
.
.
.
.
I therefore wish to make it clear that I did not go to the Vatican yesterday [June 20], and that I have no intention of going to the Holy Office on June 28, and that I have not delivered any statement or document in my defense to the Dicastery, whose authority I do not recognize, nor do I recognize the authority of its Prefect, nor do I recognize the authority of the one who appointed him.
I have no intention of submitting myself to a show trial in which those who are supposed to judge me impartially in order to defend Catholic orthodoxy are at the same time those whom I accuse of heresy, treason, and abuse of power. And among them are precisely the Jesuits, the first proponents of all the moral and doctrinal deviations of the last sixty years, starting with James Martin, S.J., the LGBTQ+ activist who is a regular visitor at Santa Marta.
America says:
A canon lawyer (who wished to remain anonymous) who has read the archbishop’s defense statement, told America: ‘This is the major argument for the prosecution. His defense is a declaration of schism. It is the most egregious act of schism.’ He explained that the extrajudicial procedure envisaged usually does not take much time. If the archbishop is convicted, the pope would then have to confirm the penalties.
This anonymous “canon lawyer” considers my statement as a proof of my schismatic will: but the whole question concerns which is the “church” to which Bergoglio belongs and the de facto schism from the true Church that he has already accomplished over and over again with his declarations, with his acts of government, and with his most eloquent behavior of open hostility to all that is Catholic. Bergoglio’s “church” is not the Catholic Church, but rather that “conciliar church” born from Vatican Council II and recently rebranded with the no less heretical name of “synodal church.” If it is from this “church” that I am declared to be separated by schism, it will be for me a cause for honor and pride.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla admitted yesterday that Covid was used as a test, while also saying that he believes that the best days of Pfizer are ahead.
“I truly think that the best days of Pfizer are ahead of us, because Covid was for me was like a rehearsal.”
This is concerning.
May God have mercy on us.
“This is the Definition of Corruption” — AG Merrick Garland is Now Calling GOP Lawmakers, Coercing Them Not to Vote for ‘Inherent Contempt’

“It’s being reported Garland is CALLING moderate Republicans asking them to vote against holding him in inherent contempt. Garland, you can make this all go away by handing over the tapes. You’re willfully ignoring congressional issued subpoenas…
Garland is now calling Republican members of congress pressuring them to NOT vote for inherent contempt. This is the definition of corruption. He thinks he is above the law and can tell members of congress what to do.
Why is Garland fighting so hard to hide the tapes? What is on the tapes that is causing him to behave in criminal fashion in an effort to protect Biden? Any other American would be in jail for doing what he is doing.
Garland, release the tapes to Congress and allow us to listen to them.
Garland, why don’t you give me call as well. You should have my cell phone number. I’d like to hear your pitch on why you think you should not be held accountable?”
Looking back on the bodycam footage of the George Floyd overdose it’s pretty sad to see that gas prices were under $2.00 a gallon four years ago today.

Mel K & Kash Patel | Government Gangsters Last Stand? The People Are Wide Awake | 6-18-24 (rumble.com)
Here’s a great interview between Kash Patel and Mel K.
They discuss the Govt Gangsters. At the top of the list is AG Bill Barr. He basically says these people are enemies of the country. Kash was there during “Impeachment 1 & 2” so he knows the score. He names names. He will play a big role in POTUS Trump’s 2nd term.
The ‘Revisionist History’ About Jan. 6 Comes From Democrats (thefederalist.com)
Here’s a recent Federalist article by Kash Patel discussing the “revisionist history” of Jan 6th by Pelosi and crew.
…and Pelosi and crew are now stirring up history in India churning up a division to enhance their congressional resolution against China. Well let’s see if she can startup a secondary(or would that actually be the third conflict) in the world war stage.

How Left-wing Conspiracies Work – Victor Davis Hanson (victorhanson.com)
Here’s a recent Victor Davis Hanson article about left wing conspiracy theories. Kash mentions a VDH article as the best one he’s seen in five years in his interview with Mel K. Not sure if this is the article he’s referring to but thought it was worth posting in case it is.

The article explains why/when/where/how the Biden administration is sending a message to the American people of their support for Israel, but yet no supply of weapons are going there to support the threat to that nation…until after the election.
Israel & The Middle East
Biden’s Italian Strike
The ongoing U.S. policy of slow-walking munitions deliveries to Israel isn’t about Rafah
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/biden-italian-strike-israel-arms-shipments
The administration has little hope that the American people will understand why it is preventing Israel from defending itself against attacks from Hezbollah and Iran. Publicly, therefore, it has drawn the line in the sand in Rafah and screamed about civilian deaths. Privately, however, it has its eyes locked like a laser on the Lebanese-Israeli border. If a full-scale war kicks off in the north, the Obama-Biden policy of achieving “equilibrium” in the Middle East by integrating Iran and its proxies into the regional order comes crashing down.

Drag Queens to Descend on Capitol Hill for ‘Drag Lobby Day’ Next Week
The day is being set up by the far-left advocacy group MoveOn.org.

Popular drag queens “Jiggly Caliente,” “Brigitte Bandit,” and “Joey Jay” are set to descend on Capitol Hill next week for “Drag Lobby Day.”
Two of the performers, “Jiggly Caliente” and “Joey Jay,” gained fame and notoriety by appearing on Ru Paul’s Drag Race. “Brigitte Bandit” is a Texas-based activist who worked as a children’s swim instructor and is now involved in Drag Queen Story Hour, often dressing up as Dolly Parton.
The day is being set up by the far-left advocacy group MoveOn.org.
“MAGA Republicans have been viciously assaulting the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community for far too long,” Nakia Stephens, the campaigns director, told The Hill in a statement. “Our bodies and lives are on the line, and we will not be silenced.”

@TulsiGabbard: “I left the Democratic party because it is led by an elitist cabal of woke warmongers.”….
Democrat. Not Democratic.
Words matter.
And no one knows this better than Democrats.
Here’s a word:
demon-crap.
There, I fixed it.
I prefer Demonic. It is far more descriptive. It is weird how the term Democratic came about. It was Democrat in my youth. They apparently changed it in order to imply Republicans are not democratic. So now they are using a verb instead of a noun as the name of their party.
It is time for Trump to attack the Demonic party’s statements to the effect that Trump will destroy our democracy. He typically closes his speeches with the 7 things he wants to make great again. He should follow that up with the statement that in order to succeed at that we need to restore the Republic. That we are a Constitutional Republic not a democracy. A constitutional republic protects states’ rights, provides balance in government, limits federal powers, protects the freedoms of we the people, and avoids the tyranny of the majority. This tyranny of the majority, which is just a majority in large states, would result in the destruction of the Senate as a non-democratic body and the destruction of the Supreme Court as a separate institution with its own powers. The Demonic Party made a big mistake when they started the discussion about saving Democracy in the U.S. They opened the door to Trump’s we must restore the Republic response, which must take precedence over all other issues.

Former Dem Gov of NY tells Bill Maher…

“ANDREW CUOMO: “That case, the attorney general’s case in New York, frankly, should have never been brought. If his name was not Donald Trump and if he wasn’t running for president. I’m the former AG in New York. I’m telling you, that case would have never been brought. And that’s what is offensive to people. And it should be!”

I often wonder the same thing. The math on some of these polls don’t add up or make sense. If Biden is losing so much of his support base….why is it a close election?

Bill Maher Drops Unexpected Conspiracy Theory
He asks how the heck Biden is ahead of Trump in the polls when he lost:
• 14 points among Hispanics
• 43 points among Black voters under 50
• favorability among student debt holders
• 8% of women since 2020
“And yet I read in the polls he pulled ahead this week. Explain that to me.”

Garbage, gaslighting poll.
