“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Senator Bill Hagerty: Kash Patel does have relevant experience, particularly when it comes to the mandate of turning these agencies around that have become completely corrupted — and I look forward to seeing him take the FBI apart.

Senator Hagerty has been our one consistent Senator from Tennessee. With Marsha, we never know what she is going to do and it’s mind boggling at times.
SHE APPEARED to BE SOUND when She was in the House…
My Son was Childhood Friends with a Staffer for Her during Her time in the House.
WONDER WHAT Happened ?
Important safety tip: Never get between Marsha and a Fox tv camera.
On the plus side: Blackburn was one of 11 Senators who voted against the $40B for Ukraine.
Even in normal times, advancing the argument that these nominees “aren’t qualified” is pretty rediculous, however given we have just been thru four years of an administration where NO ONE, from the POTUS and VPOTUS to the cabinet, wad AT ALL QUALIFIED, means that every time anyone advances the argument that PDJT,’s nominees aren’t qualified, they should get the Ron Johnson responce.
This is an excellent example of Government overreach by the unConstitutional EPA. I hope President Trump can nip this. If he doesn’t perhaps SCOTUS ruling on the Chevron doctrine can derail this overreach.
“(WATCH) Kentucky Coal”
Excerpts:
This is a coal-fired power plant. It’s located in eastern Kentucky and runs on one of the state’s most abundant natural resources to provide electricity to some 600 thousand homes.
But an aggressive new rule by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, could change that for this plant and some 200 others.
They must cut 90 percent of the carbon dioxide they release into the air by 2032, or shut down.
The problem is, America gets about 80 percent of its total energy from fossil fuels, while renewables provide 13 percent. Energy producers say the new EPA mandate could lead to critical energy shortages and increased costs for customers.
According to Tony Campbell, CEO of the power plant’s operator, Eastern Kentucky Power Cooperative, the cost of complying with the EPA could exceed 10 billion dollars — more than double the value of what he says they own.
Tony Campbell: Our balance sheet’s only $3.8 billion, $3.9 billion dollars. Well, how are we going to afford that? Our current average residential member is about a bill of about $157 a month. After we build all this, it’s going to be somewhere between $257 and $308 a month, and our end consumers aren’t going to be able to afford that.
Robert Stivers: A secondary potential adverse impact is, when you have to go out and put it in a 50-acre flat area, a lot of times that’s productive farmland. You take productive farmland out of the inventory, that just puts more pressure on the farmer, the farming community, to be productive with less land. That’s where you get into, potentially, what are the consequences with fossil fuels versus renewables, or green energy? And what is the cost? And cost has many connotations.
While the government offers incentives for cleaner emissions, it’s taxpayers who end up footing the bill. Since 2011, more than 16 billion dollars in taxpayer money has been made available for research, infrastructure, and additional tax credits in the shift to green energy.
https://sharylattkisson.com/2024/11/watch-kentucky-coal/
Hopefully PDJT cuts the EPA off at the ankles…
A creative way to shove it up the EPA’s backside is to use their own “carbon capture” nonsense against them. With some 600,000 customers, including rural land owners and farmers, they can take all of the plants, trees, pastures, etc and declare them “carbon sinks”, take carbon credits, and tell the EPA to go bob their head…
Dry ice is Co2 smashed together. Last time I checked, dry ice is really cold. How is that warming the Planet again?
The EPA. Congress passes environmental laws, and the EPA promulgates regulations and enforcement mechanisms to implement those laws. So, manufacturing of everything except consumables is moved out of the United States to China to comply. Meanwhile, consumers must put up with toilets that need to be flushed twice, washers that don’t get clothes clean, $10 light bulbs, and tubby little cars. This is why we can’t let the Democrats retake the House of Representatives — because laws need change.
The outrage from the left and “former agents” just proves he is definitely the RIGHT man for the job.
“Bill Barr Inadvertently Makes the Case for Kash Patel As FBI Director While Left-Wingers Go Into Shock”
Excerpts:
Still, some are trying to make that case by sharing a quote from Bill Barr’s 2022 tell-all book in which he trashed Patel as having “virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency.” At the time, Barr was referring to the possibility of Patel becoming deputy director at the FBI.
Fortunately, I can write a few more, and I’ve got just a few things to say. First, the idea that the FBI should perpetually staff itself is exactly how it became a corrupt agency more intent on protecting “the shield” and damaging its political enemies than serving the American people. The bureau is not a fourth branch of government, free from the confines of the accountability of voters.
That last sentence – maybe I should invite the author to read Sundance’s excellent articles on the 4th Branch. 😏

Here is another reason he is the RIGHT Man for the job.
“FBI Statement re: Trump’s Patel Pick Drowned Out by Chorus of Whoops From Former Agents”
Excerpts:
Meanwhile, several notable former FBI agents have weighed in on the choice — with delight. The Trump-Vance Transition Team put out an email collecting the statements of several:
Oh, I expect the confirmation process will be a doozy, as they say, but I’m not gonna lie: This one change might be the most refreshing of all — and I am here for it.

Think everyone is possibly overlooking the most likely path for most of PDT’s appointments. When Mike Johnson puts the House in recess for 10 days, PDT constitutionally will put the Senate in recess. He’ll do all the recess appointments he wants with no interference
Oldguy,
Respectfully, that is plan “C”, and depends on Mike Johnson to keep his word to do his part.
He has already broken his word, (Where are the J6 videos?) and shown himself to be a Speaker in the mold of McCarthy and Ryan, both of whom lied to PDJT.
Even though recess appointments are Constitutiinal, they were never intended to be used to seat an entire cabinet, if a new admin, if done as you describe it comes across as appearing gimicky, and the American people don’t get an opportunity to see these nominees whovwill be instituting major changes in their lives, vetted.
Lets get as many thru as possible, using (and if necesary finessing) the confirnation hearings process.
Hopefully the RINO Decepticons will shy from the spotlite, or get burned.
Then, both the recess option and the appointing of acting, and the inevitable SCOTUS challenge to test just how much absolute power DOES the POTUS have?
After all, if its true that he can FIRE at will, can he not also HIRE at will?
Of course, the upside of recess appointments for Thune & Co. is that they are never forced to go on the record.
I’m sure there will be the requisite “anti-Patel” squawking from the Communo-Fascists but that is some very encouraging “press” and well deserved support for Kash Patel.
Speaking of “requisite ‘ant-Patel’ squawking”. Here is a great example of the leftist’s cries. 😜
“Raskin Is Not a Happy Camper About Patel Pick, What He Has to Say About the ‘Deep State’ Is Hilarious”
“says ‘Deep State’ is made up — “just means anybody who doesn’t do the will of Donald Trump.”
Excerpts:
Disgraced former FBI official Andrew McCabe threw a fit about it on CNN shortly after the nomination was announced. John Bolton lost his mind trying to bizarrely compare Patel to Lavrentiy Beria, one of Joseph Stalin’s chiefs of the Secret Police. Nate Sullivan humorously claimed that Joe Biden kept the FBI “insulated” from politics.
When all the right people are attacking him, you know that he’s the right pick. The bottom line is they don’t want the reform hammer that Kash Patel would bring into the Bureau. Patel wouldn’t just sit on his hands, but will clean up the FBI and stop the weaponization.

*****************
Raskin is proving again, Patel is the RIGHT pick.
“NEW: Jamie Raskin is not happy about the nomination of Kash Patel to head FBI —
— says ‘Deep State’ is made up — “just means anybody who doesn’t do the will of Donald Trump.”
“Apparently [Wray] has demonstrated too much independence and objectivity in the job for Donald Trump, who wants much more of a personal loyalist in the position, and that’s why he’s gone to Kash Patel.”
“I mean, the deep state. Nobody’s ever defined it, apparently. Just means anybody who doesn’t do the will of Donald Trump.”
The panic over what Kash Patel is going to do is absolutely glorious.”
Turtle – I say – Let their tears flow unimpeded 😉
Yes. After the destruction they have accomplished in just 12 years, they deserve to cry a little. Family’s savings have been decimated under BHO and FJB mismanagement. Not to mention that “fundamental change” that has destroyed the fabric of our country. The cultural rot they have injected into our children and citizens cannot be dismissed.
They have destroyed our laws and belief in the justice system.
Ratskin doesn’t know what the Deep State is, he’s unaware of his surroundings.
Jamie Raskin probably spent hours over his sentence expressing his opinion of Kash Patel in order to word it as negatively as possible.
For better or worse, the business world is filled with examples of people who were hired as CEOs of companies for which they had no industry experience.

🚨 NEW: Finance YouTuber with over 2.3M subscribers has applied to DOGE “to fix the IRS.”
His IQ is 140.
Brian Kim, known as “ClearValue Tax,” submitted his resume to President Trump and Elon Musk. I hope he’s accepted. 🔥🇺🇸
Cont. Reading…
And
2/. Video…
This is exciting. So many people are volunteering to serve our country.
Yes, and Elon and Vivek will actually choose the most qualified rather than choosing people based on their sexual preferences, religion, race, or gender.
Him talking about the fraud prevalent in IRS handing out $Billions of OUR money is extremely important.
Lol he “winds up teaching the IRS auditors about the laws”. That would be because the government has been hiring people based on identity politics and not actual qualifications for decades.
“The IRS is wasteful and corrupt agency”
Yes it is. My late husband and I were audited three times because of Lois Lerner and our donations. It cost us $Thousands$. She and everyone involved in that political hit job were never adequately punished.
DOGE estimated an 80-houir work week, unpaid. There’s no way this guy will abandon a lucrative business to volunteer his time.
That would be the attitude of someone that is not a patriot. How do you know what he will do?
His negative…..his whole career of accounting specialist depends on the complexity of IRS rules and regulations…..How much of the rules and regulations would he get rid of ?
That is something that needs to be considered. He may not be the choice to do Deep Cleaning in the IRS but he may be the guy that offers up interim solutions while the IRS is being nearly eradicated.
His current expertise is contingent upon people hiring him to navigate the nightmare called the IRS. Perhaps he can train/retrain IRS agents to work under the New IRS Agency which should be far more Pro Americans. While the agency is being dismantled he can be the man who helps contribute to deciding the order in which the agency should be dismantled.
Can you imagine how many illegals in the country file tax returns using the SS numbers of Americans?
As I just posted, those regulations comprise about 2000 pages, many of which relate to international tax law. He can’t “get rid of” what he has no background to understand. But, hey, he’s getting a whole lot of free publicity.
Watch how fast he rescinds his application when he learns there’s a probable non-disclosure agreement. My impression of this guy is that of an opportunist. Being on the inside track, he might be tempted to use that information to benefit his subscribers and maybe pick up business along the way.
BTW, the IRS rules comprise 2000 pages. Attorneys specializing in international tax law are often called upon to interpret those rules and go after mega corporations that operate worldwide. We’re talking the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars here, not a few bucks on a senior’s 1040-EZ return. If this guy doesn’t have an LLM, he’s not qualified to “fix the IRS.” Which means he’ll fit right in with Musk and Ramaswamy.
His not having his LLM makes him more qualified. The fact that one needs a tax attorney is the problem.
And there it is…

On the other hand Victoria Nuland,the STATE dept./CIA NGO’s are still trying to stir up a Maiden Revolution in Georgia.

European Commission to initiate a sanctions against the Georgian authorities.
The incumbent ruling party has captured the state after the rigged election and is suppressing the Georgian protests!
======================
Statement by U.S. Ambassador to Georgia, Robin L. Dunnigan
Since arriving in Georgia over one year ago, I have worked to improve the U.S.–Georgia bilateral relationship and to support Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration.
Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s announcement that Georgian Dream will not pursue the opening of European Union accession negotiations for another four years is the latest in a series of actions that again calls into question this government’s commitment to a Western path.
Notably, the government’s announcement drew immediate praise from the Kremlin.
Overnight, we all witnessed police violence against detained protesters and journalists.
I call on the government to respect the rights of Georgian citizens to peacefully protest and to respect the freedom of the press to cover the protests unmolested.
I urge Georgian Dream to reconsider its actions and return Georgia to the path of EU and Western integration and the path of democracy desired by a clear majority of Georgians.
It is up to the Georgian government to take steps to repair its relations with the western countries who have supported Georgia for more than three decades.
https://ge.usembassy.gov/statement-by-u-s-ambassador-to-georgia-robin-l-dunnigan/
=========================
None of this is surprising. Georgia is a sovereign nation. They have only applied for EU membership, and it seems wiser Georgia heads are having a rethink.
The EU is a tyrannical union. Sanctions? Against a non member? The EU Commission has overstepped. But this is what they do. It’s a page in their playbook. They are hyperventilating.
But we knew this was coming.

Send the whole lot of them there asap. Get them out of the USA, withdraw our money from the support we provide and end our participation. Let Geneva have the remains of the UN and leave the USA out of it. I’m all for that.
Not one sovereign nation in the world has to do anything the UN suggests unless they want to. I’m an American and I don’t want to be part of that org. anymore. They are anti America and yet expect America to fill the coffers that provide their ability to hate us. Nope. Done with the UN.

Newsweek headline: Will Trump’s Cabinet Picks Get Confirmed? Senate Blocking Is Rare
Nov 21, 2024
LOL and WHY have they been so rare in the past?
Because true, radical boat rockers against The Blob/Deep State have never before been nominated!
Gaetz is already gone and they are not about to allow major disruptors to destroy or disrupt their allied perp agencies just because their hated Trump has, like them, an “R” after his name.
We are going to see Senate rejections like never seen before from the the 19 ‘F’ rated “Republican” Senators in the Senate who are, at this time, keeping their mouths shut. Only four nay votes are needed.
Trump should simply put himself in any cabinet positions that the Senate refuses to confirm. Then, hire his picks to be his advisors or “czars” for each cabinet seat.
Trump lets these czars sit in the cabinet office, gather all the info needed to make decisions, figure out the path forward, and hand the action plan to Trump. Trump signs the document, then the czar passes the order downward to make it all happen.
No need for cabinet confirmations.
Start with shutting off their free phones, stop sending 100s of million of dollars to the NGOs at the border, audit every NGO who catered to illegal aliens, lock up employers who hire illegal aliens, stop all remittances, stop flying them in, end parole visas, complete the wall, no free educations, no medical care, shut off all federal funding for illegals, enforce the real ID Act, no more birthright citizenship, lock up any mayor or governor who interferes with the arrest of an illegal alien, and maybe, just maybe, we would not need to hire more border guards

https://truthsocial.com/@ScottPresler/113579266117609298
Well, I very simply wish that US Supreme Court Justices and all Federal Judges also(!) had to face “retention” votes . . .
It is perfectly obvious to me that the Founders who crafted the US Constitution did not know nearly enough about the Judiciary. Otherwise, they would have invested “a second page of vellum” to further flesh out Article III.
Should Republicans should take the side of their own voters instead of listening to decadent union goons like Sean O’Brien regarding PDJT’s Friday announcement of soon-to-be-former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer – R-Ore as prospective Secretary of Labor? Given that O’Brien’s affinity for Chavez-DeRemer comes from her compliance with union bosses’ priorities as a congresswoman, not her advocacy for workers themselves.
Chavez-DeRemer was one of only three House GOPers to co-sponsor the PRO Act, which would have overturned all right-to-work laws in the United States. The Department of Labor aided and abetted an almost unanimously Democratic effort to nullify the right-to-work laws that have attracted capital and workers to conservative states like Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona.
Chavez-DeRemer supported trampling federalism along with liberty and prosperity.
Apparently she is getting pipe bomb threats so catering to unions is not a winning strategy.
Maybe she will withdraw her name. Would be nice if one of the nominees we are not so sure about would do that for a change and save us from watching one or more of them implode because they go against America First and MAGA agendas. We shall see.
Her nomination is a head scratcher for sure.
Thankfully (sic …), “politics” never came up. When a couple of relatives began to engage in a casually-political discussion, I simply wandered away. Nothing further came of it. We were all there to remember a few loved ones that we lost this year, and most of all to “Give Thanks.”
And, if I might casually observe – I think that many “divide-and-conquer Marxists” have been actively trying to sow their “seeds of division” even into these very-sacred(!) times. I think that all of us need to very-seriously be aware of these tactics.
“The cute idea represented by this image?” No! Resist! “Divided we fall.” (P.S.: Nothing personal @Maquis for having chosen to post it. I wish only to make a counter-point.)

The Establishment’s Scandal Scam Tactics Won’t Work Anymore
Kurt Schlichter
he regime media is circling around Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump’s other outsider appointees to do the bidding of the establishment to make sure the status quo stays safely undisrupted. But this is a new game, and they are running the old playbook. With Hegseth, it’s alleging a sex scandal that’s no scandal at all. They do it by selectively quoting from a police report that led to zero charges and by ignoring the myriad facts within that would cause most fair-minded individuals to conclude this was a hookup instantly regretted by a horny wife whose husband and kids were just a few hotel rooms away. The regime media reports, of course, exclude the many exonerating details that recovering lawyer Megyn Kelly in particular has gone over in-depth and which totally exonerate the nominee. They don’t care about the truth; they want to frame him to stop him. But you know what? This kind of smear does not matter anymore to anyone who matters.
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/11/28/the-establishments-scandal-scam-tactics-wont-work-anymore-n2648276
“But you know what? This kind of smear does not matter anymore to anyone who matters.”
Bingo!! 🤡
In this article Karl Rove urges President Trump to pick status quo people for the Number Two and Three positions that have already been serving in their respective departments. What he doesn’t understand is we want half of these “Departments” abolished. Perhaps Pete Hegseth as the head of DoD can actually get his department to pass an audit…
The Majority of the people in this country are tired of the DEI government officials and hearing about taxpayer funded Drag Shows on military bases. We don’t want government agents using their departments to overreach and outright abuse citizens. This means we don’t want lifetime bureaucrats running these agencies.
“Karl Rove urges Trump to choose deputy department heads ‘who have been in the trenches’”
Excerpts:
It will be especially important for Mr. Trump’s picks to have capable No. 2s as undersecretary, deputy secretary and chief deputy administrator — titles vary from place to place — especially if the No. 1 is new to government or that department’s function,” Rove continued.
Rove praised former Rep. Lee Zeldin, Trump’s pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, as a “smart, capable leader.” But Rove also warned that the EPA is a bureaucratic and complex department that will not be easy to navigate.
“Mr. Zeldin will need a deputy who has served in the agency, knows how it functions and how it will try confounding even the most purpose-driven leader,” Rove cautioned. “The same can be said for every other spot Mr. Trump is filling.”
Rove is essentially talking out of both sides of his mouth, as usual.
Several of Trump’s other Cabinet nominees also lack some of the long-term experience in the departments they are hoping to take charge of.
Pete Hegseth’s path to confirmation as defense secretary may face problems due to his lack of experience. Despite being a decorated veteran, he has not served in a senior defense role.
“Shaking things up works only if doing so helps rather than hurts the American people,” Rove said in his final warning. “Doing the right thing the right way matters. Who’s No. 2 matters almost as much as who’s No. 1.”
I think the American people would be just fine with firing the bulk of these DEI lifelong taxpayer funded government officials. How’s that for shaking things up.

4) when they recover from the submission of the pipe news and prosecution, slide the pardons in, then as the media recovers and starts to nip – hit them with a child trafficing rescue and prosecution,

🔥 🤔 🔥 US taxpayers are paying huge amounts of money to the government of PAKISTAN to house ILLEGAL immigrants in the Roosevelt Hotel, in New York.
Attention was brought to the arrangement by a post on social media, which soon drew comment from big hitters including Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.
“A taxpayer-funded hotel for illegal migrants is owned by the Pakistani government which means NYC taxpayers are effectively paying a foreign government to house illegals in our own country,” Tweeted Vivek Ramaswamy.
“This is nuts.”
Elon Musk, in typical laconic style, tweeted two exclamation marks in response to Ramaswamy’s post.
The original post that drew the reaction states, “The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants.
The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.
Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long-struggled with occupancy and in dire need of renovation.”
The overall cost of illegal immigration into the US was estimated at $150 billion in 2023 alone.
At a time when towns and cities across the US have been struggling to find money to pay for basic services like law enforcement and firefighting, the Biden-Harris admin spent $67 billion on illegal immigration, with state and municipal governments spending over $80 billion.
Out of a total of $67 billion spent by the federal government in 2023 on illegal immigration, $6.6 billion was spent on education, $11.5 billion on welfare and $23.1 billion on policing.
States and cities have faced significant budget shortfalls as a result of the immigration crisis. Denver City Council has had to slash $45 million from its budget, so the city can pay the $90 million put aside for dealing with illegal immigrants.
That $45 million includes $8.4 million from policing and $2.5 million from the fire department.
New York City spent close to $2.5 billion on accommodation for illegals in a single year. Many were housed in plush hotels that were closed to the general public to accommodate migrants.
Well over 200,000 migrants have entered the city since spring 2022, costing the city $352 each a night to house.
Over 150 hotels across the city have been converted into migrant shelters. Overall city funding has been cut by 5% by Mayor Eric Adams.

At a cost of $142,000 per RV, those billions could have purchased 77,465 RVs for the hurricane survivors in North Carolina and Tennessee. Those fellow Americans are still living in tents, over two months after Helene destroyed their homes, farms, land, vehicles, jobs and personal possessions.
As of last week, FEMA has provided only 14 RVs, yet there are hundreds of homeless citizens on the waiting list for a place to live.
Day One of the President’s new administration can’t come soon enough. In the meantime, if anyone is inclined to help, please visit this thread:

Jesus admonished us to forgive seventy times seven. I’m not even close.
Forgiveness follows admission and repentance. These people so relish in their evil that they cannot fathom taking the first step.
The statistics about everything regarding these illegal invaders is maddening. 🤬🤯
I’m right there with you on the forgiveness. It has been an extremely rough 4 years,
“The overall cost of illegal immigration into the US was estimated at $150 billion in 2023 alone.”
And yet the propagandists in MSM keep talking about the $$Billions it will cost to for mass deportations. Tom Homan has great responses to them, but I do wish he would quote the annual cost of keeping them here.
59% of illegals that have been here longer than 5 years are on some sort of government subsidies. Cut ALL of that out and they just might find out it is much cheaper to go back to their own country to live. They also wouldn’t be able to send remittances back home.
I have been screeching this since I knew about it.
I worked as a designer on this hotel.
The cover is that the place is owned by the Pakistani Airlines, yet that entity is owned by the Pakistani government. When we would present designs for refurbishment, we would be in front of “The General”. Some research would confirm his name. Still looking.
Yet this:
https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/business/roosevelt-hotel-owner-taps-jll-to-sell-migrant-filled-property/
“The city leased the Roosevelt from Pakistan last June for $220 million for three years to serve as a migrant shelter.
This may have been a longer term plan than we know. Why rent it in June 2023 for ‘THREE’ years? And the money is off the charts! PDJT is all over this, I am certain.
Look for other foreign-owned hotels hosting invaders.

I’m going to call ‘em like I see ‘em. Trump’s nominee for head of DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest a pastor who defied COVID lockdowns.
Cont…
Thanks for the heads up, Sen.Massie.
President Trump, please stop letting JR pick weasels from the Florida Uniparty Apparatus like they are badass MAGA.
Fredo….?
Yet another
DEA: created as yet another fascist expansion of federal power by Nixon for a war (on drugs), which he made up .
Given the amount of fentanyl and organized smuggling – the DEA is worthless at best. Dump DEA in its entirety along with his EPA and NOAA while we are at it.
A lot of the drug money in this country funds color revolutions in other countries.
His statement after he arrested the pastor. Chronister has no business being any where near anyone’s rights
“This isn’t about freedom of religion. This has nothing to do with this gentleman being a pastor,” the sheriff continued. “This would be no different it was a gym owner. If it was anyone who is encouraging large gatherings, you’re going to be in defiance of this order and find yourself facing the same type of results or outcome this pastor did.”
More details – it happened in March 2020:

Geez
Agree
Here’s the whole message. The last line is the best:
If you wanted Trump to come and go as 47th President and leave elections alone it would have been wise to grab up what you could in the first 18 hours of vote counting and let him take office with how the chips fell.
Instead, you dumbasses counted through Thanksgiving, shaved God knows how many House and Senate seats, and ran the nonsense “mandate” narrative as your utopias belched our ballots found in the mail for weeks.
Speaking of “mandates” – you will not enjoy the reform you have brought upon yourselves that will bring this house of corruption burning to the ground because you got too greedy.
I intend to help light the match.
Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered.
REPORT: Trump Wants Hostages Released by Hamas by Inauguration Day

An underreported 2024 election feel-good story:
Ryan Busse got his ASS beat in the Montana governors election, after his brat kids sued the state for letting climate change ruin their skiing and singing careers.
Oh brother.
Badge? Poor, poor Badge.
Seems? No, it doesn’t. We know exactly how it’s going to go. And Republicans don’t seem to care, do they? Maybe we can get that Republican majority down to one, and then get Don Bacon to vote with the Dems. Maybe switch parties, and take a few more with him. Wouldn’t that be fun, sticking it to the Donald? RNC and “the MAGA movers” better get focused on 2026 election or the Dems will surely take the House. And the Senate (The Turd-le) won’t run interference for PDJT’s third impeachment attempt.
Curiosity here. Besides perhaps obvious closer scrutiny and too big to rig, to real to steal……I wonder if there could be some data comparison (not causation) between less votes for demonrats and folks who took vaccines/booster who aren’t with us anymore?
Is this true?
Resident Biden just pardoned Hunter?

“Joe Biden pardons his son, Hunter Biden”….
You can always count on the left to say the right is doing what they’ve been doing all along.
Joe Biden just gave President Trump a reason to commute sentences and pardon every one of the J6ers. I now expect Trump to do this on day one.
I will be absolutely FURIOUS if he does not.
This is a Day 1 mandate and requirement, as is the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate how the govt conspired to frame and set up these people.
Ray Epps in particular needs to be deeply investigated.
So, what about December 2nd? And the trip to Angola?
LOL!!!!
Their depravity knows no limits.
Liars gonna lie. We all knew that was coming.
Just listening to Faux News now. Will read further. Blanket pardon? And then Joe pardons his entire family on January 19, 2025.
I don’t think so. I think Frank and James and Valerie and the adult nieces and nephews all end up hung out to dry.
Especially the brothers and sister, because they formed an essential part of the crime family.
Hunter struck the deal, Hunter delivered, Hunter gets the pardon. Maybe Ashley, both because she’s a victim of sexual abuse (incest) and because she may have been essential to closing the Hunter deal. Ditto the sexually abused grandkids, who were used as blind holds for a lot of the money while they were minors.
Dunno. I believe James and Valerie need an insurance policy.
Checks went back and forth. From Hunter, so they may have RECEIVED checks from a pardoned person, but what about transferring those check to Joe?

Canadian Border Minister Says New Measures Are Imminent After Trump Meeting

Maybe someone can get it throught to President Trump or whomever is making some of his awful staffing picks that the least he can do for the people who suffered horribly from the covid voodoo nonsense on his watch, is not throw it in our faces that nobody cares.
Elevating the awful human beings who did these things without a second thought, is a kick in the teeth to the thousands of Americans who endured irreversible harms, for nothing.
These people did as I did, voted for him anyway.
Could he please just cut this crap out?
Is that too much to ask?
“NATO is a redistribution scheme”….
That is just plain wrong. It has to be stopped and stopped soon. Get out of NATO now. Get out of the WHO now. Get out of the UN now. Think of all the money that would save us. DOGE get on these requests, please.
Related – US supplies majority of weapons to Ukraine. The Bloomberg article also states Kellog is for withholding weapons to stop the war (Kellog’s own words said differently) and they (Bloomberg, UK, and the EU) actually think the UK and Europe can keep up production of ammunition at the same rate as Russia (which is hilarious).
Short form – the UK & EU are all in.

@mrddmia
If Biden pardons someone–like, say, Hunter or Jack Smith–they can no longer invoke the Fifth Amendment’s right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying before Congress or grand juries.
If those pardoned refuse to testify, they can face new charges for criminal contempt.

Haven’t seen this in the US press anywhere, but heard it while watching a BBC news show, President Trump has nominated his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father to become the U.S. Ambassador to France!
There’s gotta be one heck of a story behind this move.
He wants him out of the country.
KEEP PRAYING FOR TRUMP
Excess deaths due to the Fauci toxin.
If only the FB1 wasn’t a domestic terrorist organization…
Feinting goats, I tell ya…
No pretending…I second this motion.
The Communist News Network shows its true colors…
Another one should bite the dust…
I don’t get this pick at all. There are so many candidates that would be good for this role and not have the questionable background and political alignment.
Guess that I will just have to assume that PDJT is playing 4D chess or something…
Hallelujah!
