Schiff was suspiciously specific about Kash Patel being repeatedly mentioned in Jack Smith’s fraudulent Volume 2 report—a document supposedly unseen by anyone outside of Smith’s team. It’s almost as if Smith used the report to smear Kash (recall that Kash was nominated while Smith was still crafting his phony reports) and then tipped off Schiff.

“It’s almost as ifSmith used the report to smear Kash…”The good news: nobody cares what these crims say anymore. It’s all lies, smears and bullshit that falls to the ground and sticks to their Dirty Cop shoes.
Another reason Dems are apoplectic about Kash being confirmed may be this…
FBI has been delaying/ignoring a Court Order for years to release
all info re Seth Rich murder.
My guess is that info is with Anthony Weiner’s laptop and no one in the FBI knows where that laptop is!!!
The NSA has it all saved.
It’s called obstruction of justice. Put ’em in jail!
It’s back with its owner.
Didn’t know that!
Kash is irrelevant in this matter. Who is Chief Magistrate? Who is the Chief law enforcement officer? The President. “Susie.” “Yes Mr. President.” “Call over to the FBI and speak with whoever is in charge now while we wait on Kash and tell them they have 40 minutes to walk over the file on the Seth Rich murder.” “Consider it done Mr. President.”
There. Done. When in charge, be in charge.
No! # 47 NEEDS to Go to the office. State ” GIVE ME THE SETH FILES! I’LL WAIT!

An interesting article regarding the Brutalist architecture of Federal Buildings. When it see those buildings for some reason my mind goes to George Orwell’s 1984 or I just think of Communism.
“Trump Wants to Make American Buildings Beautiful Again”
Excerpts:
Trump’s executive order “maintains that federal architecture should serve the American people on two fronts: by enhancing the beauty of their public spaces, and by ennobling the federal workers who serve them.”
This vision hearkens back to the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson, who was a self-taught architect, particularly believed in classical architecture as a way to inspire a young nation. He echoed English architect Christopher Wren, who said, “Architecture has its political use; public buildings being the ornament of a country; it establishes a nation, draws people and commerce; makes the people love their native country… Architecture aims at eternity.”

Wow – watching Outnumbered on Fox. My goodness, what has Leslie Marshall allowed to happen to herself???
She now looks very, very overweight and has those same bizarre overarching eyebrows a la Nancy Pelosi depicted in Nancy’s freak photo. Kind of shocking. More Libby side effects?
The VSGPDJT effect…
Menopause? …w/out making food and exercise adjustments for changing metabolism? Just a thought.
Sometimes those adjustments don’t help. Just saying.
Reminds me of Disney villainess.
Same thing happened to Victoria from State Department…another uber Liberal Democrat. See a pattern here?

Tulsi’s Hearing Exposes Bipartisan Rot of DC Swamp (16:53)

Imagine being on the Senate Intelligence Committee and having presided over and endorsed and supported and defended every single one of the lies that have emanated from that community, the lies, the destruction the wars. The illegal spying and then somebody for the first time in decades comes before the committee to be appointed to run those agencies who says I have fundamental radical critiques of these institutions and you react to them as though they’re the ones who are crazy when you’re the ones who have overseen the Iraq War and the lies that justified it, oversaw all of the lies told by James Clapper and John Brennan, all the lies that were told as part of Russia gate in the 2016 election and the Hunter Biden laptop in the 2020 election, the lies that were told about COVID. You’re responsible for all of that. So, of course, anybody who comes to you and says I’m here to indict these institutions, I’ve been put in charge of them by a President who just won an election not to continue them and not to preserve them, but to dismantle them, of course, as the guardians of the status quo, as the protectors and perpetrators of that ideology, of that dogma that’s under attack, you’re going to be extremely angry and nobody is doing that more so when it comes to challenging bipartisan Dogma than Tulsi Gabbert. I think it’s so important to note that the media narrative about the Republican party is that they’re all marching lock step behind Donald Trump. This is utter nonsense, it’s complete garbage. The reality is is that especially in the Senate, especially in the Congress, the majority of members of the Republican Party who serve in the Senate, in the House hate Donald Trump’s ideology, hate the ideology on which he ran and hate his foreign policy. They have to pretend that they’re behind him because they know he’s the most popular person by far in their party and they know that they can’t get anywhere inside the party if they say the truth, but you look at people like John Cornyn or Tom Cotton, none of these people have been aligned with the Trump foreign policy as he articulates and expresses it ever. They’re radically opposed to it.
It’s true what he says about the Republicans and Trump.
Related to that, this is also true:
MAGA/MAHA is the biggest movement there is and Republicans would do well to remember that.
“hate the ideology on which he ran and hate his foreign policy”
Of Course, because…”There are $Trillions at stake”

“It’s been four months since Hurricane Helene devastated the southern Appalachians, and FEMA still can’t find western North Carolina on a map.
The Pentagon wasted billions of dollars over the last four years fighting “climate change” and “white supremacy” while fast-tracking delusional men with fake breasts into positions of command.
California — which prides itself as a kind of premier “laboratory” for the federal government — cut its firefighting budget, stopped executing controlled burns of dangerously combustible brush, and diverted record rainfalls into the Pacific in order to save a “sacred” fish.”
“After President Trump’s executive order forcing federal workers back into the office, Wilson’s “professional government” ran to social media to shriek about the horrors of having to put on pants and function as adults.
Who would watch their children? How would they ever be able to work that second job that they do when they’re pretending to work their federal jobs? How can they be expected to rejoin their coworkers when it’s been only five years since the beginning of COVID?
If you watch enough of these videos online, it is impossible not to conclude that a substantial percentage of the federal workforce do absolutely nothing to justify their burden to American taxpayers. They are the definition of dead weight.

U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico expected to start March 1
Sources say there could be a process for Canada, Mexico to seek specific exemptions for some imports
New tariffs against Canada and Mexico are expected to begin on March 1, but will include a process for the countries to seek specific exemptions for certain imports, three people familiar with the planning told Reuters.
The tariff situation remained fluid on Friday and no decision is final until U.S. President Donald Trump makes a public announcement.

”The Swedish state isn’t in control”
The Swedish PM and goverment are holding a press conference about the recent massive increase in bombing attacks and fatal gang shootings.
The government says it had inherited the problems and that the state is not in control at the moment.
The government announces new law proposals, including the removal of Swedish citizenship from criminals and wiretapping of kids below the age of 15.
More than 30 bombs have exploded in Sweden since the start of this year
Swedes getting culturally enriched good and hard.
It’s the fate of all western nations that don’t immediately course correct. England and Ireland are both likely already lost. Germany not far behind.
When one looks at places like Minneapolistan and the difference in the cultural birthrates it’s hard not to conclude that we’re not also already lost. Especially when you contend with all the radical libbies who not only don’t see it, but fight against anyone who does.
Back in the 60’s and 70’s I thought Sweden was the most boring place on earth cuz it was so clean and orderly.
Then about a decade ago, they decided to abruptly transform it into the biggest scariest sh*t show in the West, literally overnight.
Good Luck finding your Happy Medium, Sweden.
Can you do it? We shall see….
Heard they were talking about shipping criminal non-residents to out-of – country jails, because Swedish jails are overwhelmed now.
So who IS In Control?
It seems sorta like a big deal to me to go on TV and say your government isn’t in control.
Okay, so who is?

EXCERPTS:
Critical safety systems, and obviously ATC and controlled airspace is one of them (especially Class B airspace) are all designed so that one ****-up doesn’t get people killed. It requires at least two and usually three or more for a bad thing to happen.
Obviously, even without all the facts, at least two ****ups did happen because all the people involved are dead and two hulls went in the water in pieces.
The “public” Flight Aware track is all over the place of course but the helo was not on it — it was running under VFR and was a military chopper. However, since it is transiting said Class B space it is under ATC control and it is their job to not have two things in the same piece of air at the same time.
That’s ATC’s first, second, third and last job.
This sort of flight in general incidentally is not uncommon around DC so spare me the “oh someone flew into whatever on purpose” bull**** until and unless you have hard evidence; if you’ve spent any time in DC you know damn well that it is very busy airspace and chopper traffic is part of it. But there are specific routes for choppers and in that area the hard ceiling is 200′ with de-conflicting being one of the prime reasons for that as runways have standard approach plates (with descent angles) and thus vertical separation at defined points for an aircraft on said descent.
This is what is known at the point I pen this and post it:
The CRJ was on approach to runway 33, having been asked if they could take 33 and had accepted it. They were configured for touchdown and from where the impact occurred I’d hazard a guess they were under 20 seconds from the runway threshold. Best guess is the collision occurred about a half-mile out and at ~120mph, a reasonable approach speed, you’d be ~15 seconds from the runway threshold. You can’t pull serious evasive maneuvers in that situation and configuration; there’s nowhere to go and the aircraft is not configured in a fashion where you can get immediate and safe evasive response anyway. You can go around, however, and in fact that is planned as a possible event and thus there is a clear path allowed for it if you miss the approach before you’re cleared to land originally.The aircraft’s TCAS almost-certainly did not alert for multiple reasons (not the least of which is that it doesn’t run at very low altitude because it might otherwise tell you to fly into a building!) never mind that the chopper either didn’t have one or had its ADS-B transponder (if it had one on board) off.The helo essentially flew into the descending plane’s path, crossing the approach path to the runway, and by the tower data which we have the trace for was above the hard ceiling for the route it was on and thus the collision occurred.The two pilots in the chopper were running a training flight; one had 1,000 hours and the other 500. What the hell is anyone doing running training flights in some of the most-congested airspace in the world and by the way while 1,000 or 500 hours isn’t exactly “green” its not all that much either. A commercial captain typically requires 5,000 hours of flight time to earn that left seat! These two in the chopper had one third of that between the two of them and had no damned business running training operations at night in what is one of the busiest commercial airspaces of the world. This goes directly to the helo’s apparent violation of the hard ceiling for helicopter operations in that area. The pilots in the helo appear, from the data, to have violated the corridor they were required to stay inside of for safe operation. In addition from the data on their altitude at impact there were also wildly out of the corridor horizontally; they had to be in order to hit the plane at that altitude as the corridor is designed explicitly to provide safe clearance from flights on approach or departure up to its ceiling.At night the aircraft probably could not see the helo as its nav and anti-collision lights are on the lower part of the fuselage and the plane’s windshield does not go to the floor, so the pilots have limited or no visibility below them in a close-quarters situation. Never mind that their attention is properly on the approach because they (with good cause) assume ATC is responsible for separation of other aircraft in the immediate area being Class B airspace — unlike the pilots ATC sees it all from the tower radar and transponder receivers and thus has course, identification and altitude on the scope for everything in the area of the airport.It is claimed the helo called back to ATC with “traffic in sight” — which was obviously not the case as they flew right in front of the plane that was descending on top of them. They clearly were looking at the wrong aircraft (or lying — and we had better not find out that was the case.) ATC had knowledge that they’d done nothing to deviate their course as there was no immediate directional or altitude change on their scope and their scope showed that the two were on a collision course andthe helo was above the hard ceiling for that area.Both the helo and aircraft run on different frequency bands thus both can hear the tower on their respective frequencies — but not each other.https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=252747
This looked one way when I first posted it and then changed.
Click on the article to make it readable.
There’s a lot more pertinent information there.
I have the same issue: where was the helo relative to the glidepath? 300 feet AGL is what, less than half a mile from the runway threshold? If that was the case, what was the helo doing in that location?

Interesting.
It’s assuming a second crew chief would actually be eyeballs out scanning out and up.
Dang. That is some sleazy, corrupt “reporting” by CNBC.
This guy was a real piece of work during Covid, too. His face was always out there, spouting the newest Covid/Vaxx lie.
Scott Gottleib is why you GOT RFK Jr.
He’s the poster boy for Agency Capture.
For CNBC to let him bash RFK and promote Vaxx without mentioning how he went straight from FDA to the Pfizer Board is like letting country doctor Josef Mengele advocate for euthanasia without mentioning his previous employer.

Strong family resemblance. Same face, almost.

Gotlieb? I wonder if he is of the MK Ultra Gotlieb clan?
So after reading lots of comments on the Helo crash the biggest question I have not seen answered is:
Was the pilot who almost crashed the night before the same one who crashed?
Wondered the same thing Elle.
If it were it would go a long way toward arguing that this was NOT an accident.
Uh, yeah.
1. Monday: Trump excludes transgenders from military.
2. Tuesday: There was a similar Helo/airline miss the night before the crash, averted by ATC and the airplane.
4. Wednesday: Almost exact same mistake happens resulting in a crash. Knowledgeable posters think it was
INconceivable.
5. They name the 2 male deceased pilots.
6. Wife of deceased pilot requests on her Facebook posts for people to refrain from mean comments so families can grieve
7. We find out it is a woman pilot
8. A trans helo pilot gets asked enough times if it was her, to the point she needs to let her friends know on social
Media that she is still alive… indicating a rumor floating that the pilot was trans.
8. They still have not named the woman pilot.
Starting to see an outline through the dots.
“They still have not named the woman pilot”
I wonder about that as well. Will we find out it is a Marcia that used to be Mark.
I heard someone speaking on talk show program that said military aircraft do not have voice recorders. He had been advocating for voice recorders for years. So when they find that helo “black box” we won’t know what was said right before the crash.
Is that true?
MANY of the Military Helos DO NOT HAVE Voice Recorders.
ONLY ” EASY ” RECORDS will Be from the RADIO TRANSMISSIONS Between the Aircraft and the Controllers
ADDITIONAL Information COULD COME FROM The MILITARY on THEIR Communications Between the Aircraft and THEIR Commands ( FOIA )
and
MILITARY ” INFORMATION ” from the District of Columbia Commands ( FOIA )
Thanks!
The Army has officially said won’t be releasing the name of the female pilot in control, supposedly per the family’s request. See my post below.
All this will do is inspire all kinds of speculation until someone inevitably leaks it.

RAND – THE NATIONAL INTEREST
What Should the United States Do?
The U.S. should be mounting major information operations against Russia, China, and North Korea to highlight their differences and fuel distrust among them.
Given the differences in the objectives of Russia, China, and North Korea, the United States should be mounting major information operations against these three countries to highlight their differences and fuel distrust among them.
Doing so would increase the likelihood of decoupling at least some of their partnerships. Some examples of potential information operations seem obvious.
Information operations are also possible against Russia and North Korea.
For example, media stories could tell the Russian people that North Korea has sent a significant number of dilapidated artillery and other munitions to Russia that have been causing Russian casualties.
While the North Korean elites have likely been reassured by the food and economic resources that Russia has been providing, the media could explain that North Korea has been apparently exhausting its available munitions supplies such that Russian payments to North Korea will likely be declining significantly in the coming year.

My honest opinion..the NK troops were NEVER in Russia fighting against Ukraine.
Another Iraq has WMD psyop thing.
Exactly! It’s another MIC hoax.
Confirmation of RFK Jr.
The MAHA and Moms for Liberty and all the groups coming together to push for a change in how approvals are granted for our food, our medicines, etc., are said to be the largest grass roots organization in the US, if not the world.
That cuts both ways. Even the RINOs should vote for confirmation because the blowback would be so great if they don’t. But the left might vote against Bobby because, should he be confirmed, it would cement that President Trump, who was partly elected due to his MAHA promises, fulfilled this promise.
Obviously they don’t want to do anything which would be helpful to President Trump. And isn’t that a sick statement on the condition of politics in this country, that it supercedes any joint effort to ably govern?
It will be very *unhelpful* to the Dem Party if Dems vote Nay on RFK, Jr.
The people who were the most fired up about RFK, Jr.- initially – were Dem voters.
They’ll lose ’em all for good if they refuse to let RFK, Jr. serve.
I pray he does get the nomination. I also hope that the folks that were going to vote for him for President, tuned into how he was treated by the 🦇 💩 crazy Democrat Senators so they can truly see the rot and corruption.
I love that he called out Bernie, the “tax the rich” “medical healthcare for all” socialist for taking in almost $2,000,000.00 from Big pHarma.
If Dr. Cassidy sinks RFK Jr. , the we should pressure Thune to remove Cassidy from all committee assignments.
Something I’m wondering about. After we clear out the known criminals allowed into the US by the Biden administration, do
we stop there? Will the DACA and the former TPS go as well? What about the simple visa overstays?
Beyond that, what about the LEGAL immigrants brought in en masse and dumped on various communities to change their character and to install a voting majority?
I have heard the suggestion, first from a Canadian and then from someone here in America, that we should not allow immigrants to hold political office, that it is a foolish thing for a country to do.
On the surface, that sounds bigoted, but we didn’t used to see massive “dumps” of third-worlders forced on communities like we do now, and we didn’t see characters like Ilhan Omar being allowed to game the system and work against Americans, or chain immigration or thousands of permanent refugees with no allegiance to this county either.
What are we going to be doing about this:
Why are we only now hearing about all these communities that are 60%, 80%, 100% illegal migrants, 30,000 here, 40,000 there, 60,000 in another?
I’m beginning to think there really ARE 100 million illegal migrants infesting our nation.
Everybody. Must. Go. Home.
First, I’d guess there are 30-60,000,000 illegal entrants.
But since we’ve been giving away part ownership of our country to those who were born here to someone NOT PRESENT LEGALLY since approximately 1983 we have over forty years of “Anchor Babies.” And the newcomers are provably far more fertile than heritage Americans.
So, now think Anchor Grandbabies, Anchor Great Grandbabies. I bet it’s far more than 100,000,000.
We’re not even talking about the family members who join any of the above in this country.
Expired Green Card holders, expired student visas, expired H1 work cards, these are illegals; unknown numbers of programs granting mass approval to “refugees” from places like Afghanistan (at least one of which was just canceled to great consternation from the left).
Lastly, both Obama and Biden summarily ruled that certain illegals weren’t illegal via some program or other. We might count them as illegals, but they claim not to be.
I have read that over 40% of our current population was born outside of the country, I believe that includes legal (like my SIL) and illegal.
I have a solution. Turn them into Christians. If you do, they will hold the same values that make America great. Love, Charity, Forgiveness, honesty, faithfulness, etc.
Look at Christians across the world. They hold the values that made America great.
My immediate thought when I read the clip!
“Turn them” into Christians? Just how would you propose that be accomplished?
Turn them into Christians.
> How? You gonna ask Balaam to turn them into believers? Numbers 23-25.
IF SCOTUS rules that birthright citizenship does NOT apply to babies born to illegals, will it be retroactive or will it start when they make the ruling.
Yes, I understand that is a very big IF.
Not retroactive per the EO.
This started in 1965. There’s 100+ million.
Started years before 1965… I was born and raised near Laredo, only a few miles from the Rio Grande… Our “government” estimated the illegal invaders were flooding in to the USA at about a million per year, and that there were 10 to 11 million illegals in our Country…
The illegals continued to come year after year, yet the ‘government” continued to insist that there are only 10 to 11 million illegals here in the USA…
I fully suspect that your 100+ millions estimate is accurate…
100 million, if including their children, seems about the right number when considering illegal aliens and their children.
Just a matter of time before some, now adult, child that was born here to illegal immigrant claims their parents worked like slaves so their children are now citizens because of the 14th Amendment. Just a matter of time now that the lawfare lawyers don’t have President Trump to play with as often as before. Maybe Benjamin Crump will be making an appearance on their behalf.
Karoline Leavitt said in the first press briefing that yes, visa overstays are considered illegal and can/will be deported. The rest of your questions…I don’t know.
“we should not allow immigrants to hold political office”
I don’t think that sounds bigoted at all. We have seen countless immigrant judges go after President Trump and conservatives over the past several decades. There was one Congress critter that clearly stated her home country came before the United States.
Anyone wishing to remove my wife (a legal immigrant, Christian and US Citizen) should have their affairs in order before proceeding.
⚠️Wow! Karoline Leavitt just hung the media out to DRY for denying the COVID lab-leak truth right to their faces.
“Several years ago, when I worked in this press shop, and [Trump briefed the media] on COVID-19, he suggested that COVID may have come from a lab in Wuhan, China – and many members in this VERY ROOM mocked him for that… said he was spewing ‘conspiracy theories.’ He was not. We now know that to be the truth. The president was right again.”

She is so excellent. She continually verbally smacks them around — without looking at notes!

She’s 27 years old. Natalie Winters is 23. I love it when the far-left calls her a “Nazi Barbie”.
Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point is winning hearts and minds on campuses.
Young people like them give me hope for the future.
She got it wrong, actually. All wrong.
In early 2020, Trump called covid a hoax. At that point, he was right.
Later, after talking things over with his staff, guys like Navarro, and so on, Trump changed his mind and he acknowledged the existence of covid and, so, started to work on getting out a vaccine.. At that point he got it wrong.
So today, because the covid vaccine he put out there is regarded as crap, he’s hung out to dry.
Karoline Leavitt is trying to pull his bacon out of the fire on this one by deflecting the conversation onto to the evil Chinese..
Wrong again. However, she plays right into the hands of the shlubs in the military and the Intelligence Community who need a Chinese enemy to keep the money flowing.
Trump will stay attached to the covid tar-baby until it’s accepted fact that covid never existed. At that point, Trump will be regarded as right when he called covid a hoax back in 2020.
Stay tuned.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/28/trump-south-carolina-rally-coronavirus-118269
.
IMHO, the hoax, as President Trump called it, was the ‘panicking talking heads’ exaggerating the severity of what is ‘called’ Covid, along with the over-reacting to this less than moderate (approximate recovery rate of 99% afflicted) disease . . .
Trump expressed then and usually, as far as I can tell, follows his instincts. Which are good, IMO. His instincts told him this was a hoax. He should have followed his instincts.
But there was no way in hell he could do that. The entire planet was convinced they would all die by covid unless something was done. Strong as he is, Trump would not survive trying to fight that headwind. Especially since his staff was pointing out to him that masses of people were going to be dropping dead left and right
Trumps good; but, he’s not Jesus Christ.
👍
You are wrong on this one, Johnny. President Trump called it the “Chyna virus” for a long time because it came from the Wuhan lab…. as Debra mentions, he called the fearmongering the hoax.
You are just like the vast majority of people, including Trump – You have no idea where covid came from, period.
and you like the vast majority of people are stuck on the two options offered by pharma, NSC, FBI, CIA, NSA , your hospital, your doctor, congress and on and on, i.e., – lab leak or from nature. So you pick one of the two choices based solely on whether or not you like the guy who tells you which of the two he thinks is true..
At this stage of the game, 4 years later, it’s virtually impossible to wrap your head around the third option – covid was an idea solely on paper which was force fed into the minds of people by people they agree with -like their doctor. Fact is, it was never an organism living or dead.
Any source documents on your “all in your head” theory?
Honestly, I can’t tell if you truly believe this or you’re just trolling us.
Yes, he did, he knew it was overblown
Agree . Covid-19 models were showing up to three million deaths in America (the associated model assumption books were never shown); however, the ticker on CNN got too much visibility. There was definitely a pressure campaign.
Covid’s existence has been proved again and again; starting with the notes of it’s creators, Professor Ralph Baric, Univ North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Peter Dazak, EcoHealth CEO; and confirmed by Scripps Director Kristen Andersen in 2020 when NIH asked his opinion on Covid origin.
Dr. Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, co-authored a now-notorious research paper published in March 2020 that denounced the origin scenario as a conspiracy theory and xenophobic.
Yet Slack messages obtained by DailyMail.com show just weeks before the publication of that paper, Dr Andersen told colleagues the idea of a lab leak was ‘not some fringe theory’ and was, in fact, ‘highly likely‘ the genesis of the pandemic.
I really hope the airline disaster was not a false flag orchestrated to distract ALL of us from discussing the topic of the day with the RFK jr. hearings…the problems with our US healthcare system and intentional poisoning of Americans with “vaccines”….. just saying.
Don’t forget or allow the manipulation to keep you from this vital topic.
👀 and 👂 open!
Possible but I don’t think so. The almost-crash the night before is the key to this mystery.
Agreed! I appreciate that you posed the question about whether or not it was the same pilots. That is a big question. I would think that if a military helo had a near miss with an airliner, everyone involved would be grounded. But I have no idea about this military that Hegseth just started overseeing a few days ago.
Was it the same air controllers?
Honestly it could be both because the narrative sure switched to the airline collision.
Good work being done to uncover and follow the money with NGOs.

Did he just threaten insurrection?
Sure sounded like it.
Sounds like it to me. They are going to continue to create color revolution here in this country.
Stay safe and stand by the President.
I am so glad that Hegseth is DoD and we have a new, strong leader at Homeland Security. Now let’s get the rest of the appointments through.
Now we know why the Dems are slowing everything down for FBI and DNI nominations.
Thune, get your team and rear end in gear. If not you will have a failed leadership.
Watching these nominations, I find myself getting angry about those 6-7 stolen Senate seats all over again.
I hope David Hogg makes it! 😃 2026 MAGA Congressional candidates will be happy to help him.

This is advanced stage DEI.

You be the judge.
“To protect the integrity of our workforce and safety of our State, I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.”
It is Illinois. Not sure why a J6 person would think it safe to go there.
It’s over. Why are these people so emotionally invested in this? The level of hate and vengeance towards the released j6 prisoners is so over the top! Why is it so personal to them?
“Why is it so personal to them”
Because every Dem politician and every MSM outlet spewed their vitriolic spin 24/7 for 4 long years. The Dem Senators have brought this up incessantly during recent Cabinet nominations.
They think they got away with rioting and assaulting cops because their candidate lost.
Yes…for sure. Its not “safe” for a quiet, working conservative, either.
They should apply for state jobs and then sue when denied.
Billionaire Nicole Shanahan had her daughter in 2018. Why does it take having a kid before a big time lefty miraculously realizes and understands what we conservatives have been saying for decades?
That’s rhetorical.
I think that’s just life.
I know it’s rhetorical but…when you have your first child you see the world in a whole new way.
Her child is fortunate that her mom is seeing the light and is pushing back against the left, for there is nothing more destructive to a child than to have a libtard mom.
She grew up with two President Bushes, didn’t she? Who says she was a big lefty?
I recall conservatives thinking George Bush was smart and the wars in Iraq were good ideas.
Maybe hormones. After having a child I think your brain is hard wired to protect life and family.
FAA embroiled in lawsuit alleging it turned away 1,000 applicants based on race — that contributed to staffing woes
https://nypost.com/2025/01/31/us-news/faa-embroiled-in-lawsuit-alleging-it-turned-away-1000-applicants-based-on-race
“Still, the FAA as a whole has suffered staffing issues since pandemic-era mass layoffs in 2020 from which it has yet to recover.”
I would guess that The majority of the folks that refused the jabs were conservatives. They then decided they would rather have a shortage of employees than hire white people.
The guy that started this suit scored 100% on the test and yet was turned away. Unbelievable 😤🤬🤯

In a post on the X platform, Petro promised all those who leave the U.S. “productive loans” that he said will help return the country to prosperity.

Paging President Trump … cover up in Aisle 3.
The wishes of the family overrule traditional military processes????? That’s weird.
Not happening. This is a bald cover up now.
That pilot was flying the helicopter.
PDJT won’t stand for this.
I can not help myself….
Remember when we had the shooting incedent in Vegas at the beginning of Pres Trumps first term?
Remember it was postulated that it had someting to do with the Saudi who owned the top floor of the building the shooter was in.
Now second term, and I am reading this helo had something to do with the Saudi amb.
That it took off from the home of a Saudi.
And remember Pres Trump told us all he would tell us what happened in Vegas, he never did, and now we will not learn the pilots name in the current crash.
Just seems like similar weirdness to me.
Bill Gates co owns the Four Seasons top floors of Mandalay Bay with Al Waleed Bin Talal, who is enemies with MBS. There was speculation that MBS was the intended hit. Used to be a video of private security hustling someone that could have been MBS out of a casino during the shooting.
One thing I wondered is, have they recovered her body yet? From what I understand, they are still recovering bodies. Just thinking that it may be a family request to withhold her name based on not yet having complete, official finality… just a thought…
I thought I heard something yesterday that the 3 persons on the helicopter had been recovered….sorry, no link…probably BB or TGP…but I cannot say for sure.

Jeffries threatening the peoples safety. In his own words. This sounds like real insurrection to me.
Just saying, my opinion and everyone has one.
I can’t be the only one who remains shocked that there is someone in the United States House of Representatives named “Hakeem.” Much less that he’s the Minority Leader.
Kamala’s old VP Website
When the democrats were in power and pushing their green new deal, they closed coal mines and told the miners to “Learn to Code”.
Now that President Trump is deporting illegal aliens and laying off federal employees, the laid off feds should be told “Learn to pick crops”.
Neither humorous nor clever. And if you had ever been laid off from a job, you would not have posted such a comment. It’s a devastating experience.
I never sat at home not doing much/illegally worked a second job while collecting a check making fun of the new CEO.
I work in the private sector, in manufacturing. Our jobs have been offshored and I have had to put on my big boy pants more than once. I’ve had to pull up roots and relocate to different cities and do what I had to do as the head of our household. I have no sympathy for the entity (government) that sold us out. They can learn to pick crops.
I wasn’t laid off from a job (other than the covid lockdowns) but I was harassed out of a job for refusing to get the mRNA vaccine.
Do you think that the democrat voters gave a d@mn about me and my job?
When they were shutting down the Keystone pipeline they told them to go learn to code or go build solar panels. Does that sound very nice?
I assume that many of these federal employees have been overpaid and underworked while sneering at us in MAGA country. Being “devastated” because of being laid off or fired seems to be a great way to learn to be humble and grateful. At least 90% of them vote democrat. They did fine during Pedo Joe’s 4 years.
President Trump taking questions in the Oval office:
Reporter’s Question: are you going to impose tariffs on the European Union?

The United States Army is withholding the name of the female copilot, on a request from the family.

Call me cynical, but that sure does sound like covering something up right?
Transgender who had suicidal thoughts perhaps?
Sounds like they are going to say it was her fault, and the family doesn’t want her remembered that way.
Tough toodles. I don’t think Trump and Hegseth will let that happen.
I get so tired of the self-righteous histrionics, and the insults at least by implication of those not in agreement with the left’s viewpoint, especially as it regards Christians who want both their church and their nation to be preserved.
I still receive informational emails from the church we left five years ago and for good reason, and thought one of the advertised topics sounded interesting:
The Crisis of American Christianity
with Journalist and Author Tim Alberta
February 5th, 2025 7-8:30 PM
Graham Chapel (Washington University)
All are welcome to attend a Danforth Distinguished Lecture by Tim Alberta on the state of American Christianity and politics in the contemporary scene. The journalist and best-selling author will discuss the cascading conflicts at the intersection of faith and political power. His talk will be followed by an opportunity for Q&A from the audience.
____
Then I checked it out:
Tim Alberta is an award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and staff writer for The Atlantic magazine. Hailing from Brighton, Michigan, he attended Schoolcraft College and later Michigan State University, where his plans to become a baseball writer were altered by a serendipitous stint covering the legislature in Lansing.
He went on to spend more than a decade in Washington, reporting for publications such as the Wall Street Journal, National Journal, and National Review. Tim would ultimately serve as chief political correspondent for POLITICO before moving back to Michigan and joining The Atlantic in 2021.
https://rap.wustl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Alberta_carnage-3.webp
In 2019 he released his first book, “American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump,” and co-moderated the year’s final Democratic presidential debate. In 2023 he followed up with, “The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism,” and in 2024 he won a National Magazine Award for his profile of Chris Licht, the chairman of CNN Worldwide, who was fired after the story published.
_______
So, it’s just another hate Trump lecture on a very left-wing campus (Wash U) under the auspices of being a true evangelical. Hah. As a conservative Christian, daughter of a small town minister myself, I resent increasingly those who bring their Politico and Atlantic viewpoints into Christianity, that of dispensing with the gift that God gave us and our forebears of establishing a nation in which we can worship freely. They really don’t believe we have the right to have borders, enforce our own laws, and preserve our sovereignty.
This makes me an Extremist.
This is typical of the type of programs our old church espouses; you can see why we left.
Here’s the review:
Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal.
For millions of conservative Christians, America is their kingdom—a land set apart, a nation uniquely blessed, a people in special covenant with God. This love of country, however, has given way to right-wing nationalist fervor, a reckless blood-and-soil idolatry that trivializes the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Alberta retraces the arc of the modern evangelical movement, placing political and cultural inflection points in the context of church teachings and traditions, explaining how Donald Trump’s presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated historical trends that long pointed toward disaster. Reporting from half-empty sanctuaries and standing-room-only convention halls across the country, the author documents a growing fracture inside American Christianity and journeys with readers through this strange new environment in which loving your enemies is “woke” and owning the libs is the answer to WWJD.
Accessing the highest echelons of the American evangelical movement, Alberta investigates the ways in which conservative Christians have pursued, exercised, and often abused power in the name of securing this earthly kingdom. He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting—and the weapons of their warfare—to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today’s believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly secularizing America that has come to distrust the evangelical church, and weaves together present-day narratives of individual pastors and their churches as they confront the twin challenges of lost status and diminished standing.
They could have called it ,Why You Should Hate Your Church.
Who’d want to go listen to that?

US army refuses to name female pilot killed in helicopter crash with passenger jet
The female pilot killed in the helicopter collision with a passenger jet in Washington DC will not be named, the US army said.
It made the highly unusual decision at the request of the family not to release the name of one of the three soldiers killed when a military Black Hawk collided with a passenger jet on Wednesday evening.
The Army identified two of the soldiers killed as Staff Sergeant Ryan Austin O’Hara and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, but did not provide details about the third, who was reported to be a female pilot with 500 hours of flying experience.

This is pissing me off.

What — or who— started the Palisades fire? Two leading theories emerge as investigation intensifies
January 30, 2025
https://www.yahoo.com/news/inside-intense-search-started-palisades-110057327.html
…sources with knowledge of the inquiry said there are two leading theories: An 8-acre blaze that fire officials thought they had put out on Jan. 1 in the same area reignited and spread because of intense winds, or a new fire was somehow sparked nearby that morning. Either scenario, the sources said, would likely be a human-caused fire because there are no power poles near the point of origin and trail area is well-traveled.
Rekindles are a thing. I only had one during my 10+ years as a company officer. We went to back to a house fire just an hour or so after we left. It was well involved again. High winds were a contributing factor, we had 20 to 30 mph winds that night and the house had a lot of framing where embers go hide/go unseen (triple headers in some doorways. The wind fans these and stokes a fire where in an otherwise calm day may not “rekindle”.
I can almost guarantee if the fire started near the prior fire it was a rekindle. High winds fan embers and increase the likelihood of establishing flames.
Trump’s War On Global Socialism (Part 1) — GreenlandDislodging Europe’s Unwelcome Toehold in Fortress America
“Trump has declared war against the Global Socialist movement. In this two-part Deep Dive, I am going to lay out the map of what is to come as Trump sets out to build Fortress America and purge the globalist ideology from its shores.
His opening volley, even before he took office, was to declare his intention to annex Greenland and Canada. As you shall soon see as this essay progresses, these are not just peripheral distractions but are actually two of the most important cornerstones of his strategy to confront the evil belief system that is tearing Western Civilization apart.”

Former Senior Adviser for the Federal Reserve Indicted on Charges of Economic Espionage
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/former-senior-adviser-federal-reserve-indicted-charges-economic-espionage
Exclusive: Qatar’s Influence Network In American Public Schools Has Unwitting Teachers Advancing Its Propaganda
The Qatari government is funding teacher salaries, curriculums, and programming in school districts large and small across the country, allowing the small country to pursue a scheme of indoctrinating America’s youth.
That is what the first batch of public records requests from OpenTheBooks, reviewed by The Federalist, shows. The “cradle-to-graduation propaganda pipeline” includes grooming teachers to advance Qatari influence and talking points, angling soft cultural changes through language and field trip opportunities, and ultimately, as OpenTheBooks points out, creating “the next generation of activists ready to sew chaos on college campuses.”

Trump ordered a sweeping memorandum that effectively eliminates gender ideology from the federal government. By 5pm today the following changes must be made:

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
…“Replace the word “gender” with “sex” on all documents”…
.
👏👏🥳🥳
Finally!!!! I have been saying this for a long time. The word gender is a Sociology term from the 70s and later picked up in Social Psychology. It’s original intent refers to masculine and feminine social roles of males and females. It recently became inflated with the biological term sex as a one size fits all.
The bathroom use order is huge. A lot of female govt employees get threatened by their management with punishment if they complain about dudes in dresses using the ladies’ room.
I won’t be surprised if they issue an order in DoD revoking clearances and issuing honorable discharges to the trannies. Just get them out, no punishment, but no more forcing people to repeat and play along with lies.
Well, that means no more trips to the post office but I understand that there is a special dispensation for cell #47, the execution holding cell, at the Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas.
