In the “Dynamic Duo” post yesterday about the recent moves by Gabbard & Rubio, somebody commented that Rubio, Gabbard, and RFK were the only three getting anything done. I’m sorry, I must stand up for the following people:
Vice President J.D. Vance (Argue with me all you want, JD has been a loyalist in my opinion.)
Secretary of State Marco Rubio (Was not a Rubio fan but he has been outstanding.)
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent (Kyle Bass thinks Bessent will go down as the greatest Treasury Secretary.)
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (As a Treeper said in the Bragg comments, Pete has found his footing and up to the job.)
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins
Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick (my favorite Wolverine)
Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer
Secretary of HHS Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Secretary of HUD Scott Turner
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon
Secretary of VA Doug Collins
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem (See her response to southern border; to LA riots.)
Add: Tulsi Gabbard; Lee Zeldin; Jeanine Pirro; Steven Witkoff; Karoline Leavitt; Tom Homan; Jameson Greer, Peter Navarro; Alina Habba, Ed Martin, Emil Bove, Todd Blanche.
100% agree!
did I miss Mickey Johnson-SOTU….. he should be first there also bondi,ca$$h/rat cl*ff..too…..
Yes!!!!
Without SPECIFIC accomplishments bring listed, in most cases that’s just a list of people.
THIS is the problem EVERYWHERE:
Is the Trump Admin Being SABOTAGED? Pam Bondi is Proving to be a BIG FAILURE! (29:06)
Viva Frei
18 May 2025
From a guy who works with DOJ cases: “90% of the lawyers working at the justice department are liberal Democrats who hate Trump or never-Trump Republicans. And they haven’t come close to fixing that problem.”
SO, here’s how Trump can actually fix things:
Start by submitting everyone in his executive branch to a polygraph test, ask them if they fully support his MAGA agenda, and fire everyone who indicates that they don’t. That will leave perhaps 10% manning in his branch.
THEN, take dictatorial powers and do the same in every other branch and level of government. According to Steve Bannon, and I agree, since there are perhaps 20 or 30 true MAGA in all of the 535 in CONgress, that will leave 20 to 30 in CONgress.
There, it’s fixed. Can’t do that for obvious reasons? Sorry, then anything short of that, fuggedaboudit. Stop dreaming.
Pam Bondi is where she is because she defended PDJT in a sham impeachment, which any attorney could have done, and because she’s a pretty blonde.
That’s it. President Trump likes to raise up attractive young women and make stars out of them.
He’s not going to make a silk purse out of this sow’s ear.
She’s a corrupt liar, it’s disgraceful that a corrupt liar is heading the Department of Justice.
Not to mention a former employee of Qatar.
“Only the finest people.”
Not quite. Blondi and Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles worked for Ballard Consulting whose client was Qatar.
What’d Pam do at Pfizer within 12 months of taking her Oath as AG, as per her Filings for said Office??
She’s Amirosa, without a tan.
I don’t disagree with this as far as Bondi goes. She is there 100% because she is apparently loyal to Trump. He rewards apparent loyalty. She does not have the CV to do this job.
To be fair to Trump, if he had appointed a super competent, ethical “cleaner” as the AG, the GOP senate would have never approved the appointment. Look no further than Ed Martin.
GOP is the lesser of two evils people say? Really? LOL
She will prove to be his Achilles heel.
Do you realize that when a court, any court, defies a decision by Trump that Trump sends the Department of Justice to intercede on his behalf?
So all those court orders that Trump has so far successfully fought off is due to the work of the Department of Justice.
Those are wins.
Do you know who runs the Department of Justice? Pam Bondi.
I just don’t get where all this Pam Bondi bad mouthing comes from. The woman is winning for Trump day in and day out. And all I encounter on this site are people complaining because they are not able to see any results regarding the Epstein kiddy porn case.
I agree Johnny. I’ve noticed Pam’s updates when President Trump has his cabinet round tables.
She will state the number of court cases regarding PTrump’s EOs etc that the DOJ is working.
As much as I wish our DOJ had more fire in the belly rounding up the blob and slime, I think to all those court cases DOJ lawyers currently have to deal with just to maintain the MAGA agenda. Of course, that has been the strategy of the dems.
Don’t talk down to me about what I realize. I know how the DOJ works.
The DOJ exists independently of Pam Bondi. She may run it now, but it is not she herself arguing all those cases, they have attorneys for that.
The Epstein case, someone high up in government interceded on his behalf. This has been explained over and over, but you and others are fixated on the videos which may or may not exist.
Pam Bondi LIED when she said she had the files on her desk, and claimed to have seen the videos.
A proven liar is unfit to hold the office of the Attorney General.
Epstein was allowed to perish in his cell in police custody, just before a trial which would have brought out information that has been concealed from the public.
You don’t care about the fact that other who enabled and perhaps financed and covered up for this man are still out there, and likely still in positions of power, but many other people who believe in justice and rule of law and integrity and silly things like that do.
Well, you talk down to us…frequently!
Your wise perspective is so refreshing! AG Bondi IS a winner! She has had President Trump’s back from day one with a superb legal record of wins freeing him to MAGA! She is effectively leading and collaborating with an historic effort to target and remove the heinous evil Biden imported into our communities. The constant lowlife nasty personal smears on her here on this site are not warranted, not honorable, not worthy of our great MAGA movement! 🇺🇸
First Mr C. great phraseology ; “silk purse out of this sows ears”. 😁
Second thought would be that a disgraceful and corrupt liar leading the DOJ has been the case for many years. Might be that the last fairly good AG was a Reagan guy named Ed Meese. He also defended Trump a little while back in stating to the Supreme Court that Special Counsel Not Really (Jack Smith) was not a constitutional appointment. So there’s that. Peace fellow Treepers
TY. I’m a girl btw.
It starts at the top with Justice. Yes, it’s an accumulation of many years. We were supposed to be trying to drain the Swamp, I can’t see how that can happen with a dirty AG.
Inconvenient truths.
Winston,
Four years ago when we realized we are stuck with Biden for four years, Sundance posted something that hit me like a 2×4 on the forehead…
Live your best life…
Several times since many like-minded people as me would ask how I stayed so upbeat through all the Biden-Harris corruption. So, I told them what Sundance told us to do.
Now, I’m not perfect as I still get down about things that are happening or not happening. But you Winston are on another level when it comes to despair and doom & gloom. As for me and my household…we will continue to dream and hope in the True God.
I wish you well but I won’t be reading you anymore and I would kindly ask, man to man, please do not respond to any of my posts.
I am honored and humbled when Dutchman, Maquis, Colkitto, Betsy Jones, Black Knight Rides, 4GypsyBreeze, BetsyRossRocks, Lorrie Girten, Aggiegirl, WORDMAN, CountryDoc, Marcia, Regitiger, OuthouseCounsel, cn, TroubleMaker10, MAGAMinuteman, Charlotte99, NWTex, mr.piddles, Bubby, JinxyCat, IndianPrincess, and other legends reply to something I write.
“Why them?” you might ask. Because with each of them and almost every other commenter in our beloved Treehouse…they are trying to live their best life.

Yep, “ Living your best life” Today! Here in British Columbia too.
Cheers!
Thanks Dekester…you are one of my legends, too.
A lot of us go back a long way.
I owe a great deal to TCTH..
🥂
Me too…more than most know!
One day at a time. Living my best life. It takes all I got, and by the grace of God, I get better at it as the challenges grow.

We have the greatest, the most perfect, the most loving God. We could never create a God as great and He could never be a God less than he is.
Rock on CountryDoc!
We’ve had 4 deaths in our small social circle of friends in the past 10 days and my beloved cousin is close to being the fifth. I certainly echo your comments, Doc.
I stop by here to learn and be inspired, not to constantly read
putdowns of Trump’s choice, especially the disparaging, sexist ones about makeup up, distracting lips, choice of wardrobe, etc. I like to think this group is better than that. I am not a Pollyanna and often question choices, but I also have a lot of Administrative and Board of Trustee experience, and know most decisions are made for the long-term greater good even though it might be a bitter pill to swallow at the time.
Proud to be in your list Arminius !
Thank you !
Love you BRR!
I am honored my friend and fellow brigader. I only dreamed after 96 we would ever get a America First Populist into the Presidency and here we are with that dream fulfilled by GOAT PDJT. God bless America!
For a long time we’ve been deployed repeatedly to the front, my dear Colkitto, only to find ourselves vastly outnumbered and outmaneuvered by a superior force but this time we are advancing and taking ground.
To borrow from C.S. Lewis, “Aslan is on the move.”
And by that I mean, our gracious God has heard our feeble and inadequate prayers and is letting us see the results HE is creating through President Trump and other good and honorable people.
To God be all the Glory!
It is possible to enjoy your best life and to look at the ugly and see what you see. Murder detectives do it every day.
Can’t we all get along? I’m not into the whole happy clappy thing, tho I will acknowledge this is a site with interesting posts.
You generated a few thoughts…
When I worked correctional health care, the instructors reminded all of us that it takes about 30 minutes to decompress and encouraged us to make our commute home easy and peaceful, for that purpose.
IMHO….we know what is going on and have limited real ability to effect concrete immediate change and we all have a belief on how life should look…but we cannot let our emotions about all the daily ‘ugly’ distract us from what is really important…our daily lives as we chose to live them…and those in our lives-family, friends…our jobs…and most important, our spiritual relationship the Lord our God, however we perceive that…
If we have that…those who seek our destruction have already lost their battle against us.
Yes!
100% agree!
As Sundance recently said…..
if you hang around long enough
with someone who limps….
you will eventually start limping!

I am always remembering what Sundance tells us…..
TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA
You left out happy little quokka-rine Kevin Hassett, whose cheerful smile, along with his command of the issues and and his wit, drives the MSM interviewers nuts. He never stops smiling as he sticks it to them.
I KNEW I WOULD FORGET SOMEONE! Thanks WetHal…Hassett is a favorite of mine too!
I left out Stephen Miller and Will Scharf, too…good grief Arminius…up your game! 😁
I didn’t see Lee Zeldin on your list, but he too appears to be doing a fine job in his role.
Without a doubt the smartest most competent Cabinet ever assembled by any President!!! JMO
^^^^^^
Here’s a random opinion of some of his people, for comparison:
On Hegseth, some of the issues around him centered on his ideas about women in the military, and his drinking and womanizing.
It looks to me like he has a handle on the personal issues, he appears fit and ready to serve and sharp.
They way he handled the females in the military issue was to me, superb. No denigration of the women, realistic policies.
As far as what else he actually does on the job, I can’t really judge.
That group chat thing was a stupid stumble, that appears to have been dealt with.
The reason I liked Hegseth started in 2021. Before this position, he was on Fox (I know!!!) on Sat mornings. While all the kids couldn’t go to school, he was homeschooling his 6? kids. Fox had little snippets each week of the classroom he set up at home and the subject matter. Whether it was all made up bunk for ratings or not, Grandmom loved those excerpts. I did too
I couldn’t agree with this post more than I already do if I’d written it myself. Well done!!!

On the modern battlefield, tanks are just death traps.
Nearly All Abrams Tanks The US Gave Ukraine Have Been Destroyed Or Disabled
Jun 12, 2025
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/nearly-all-abrams-tanks-us-gave-ukraine-have-been-destroyed-or-disabled
Russian media outlet RIA Novosti has cited a study which says the majority of the 31 US-supplied M1 Abrams tanks delivered to Ukraine have been destroyed.
The tanks, which were authorized for transfer under President Biden, have all been destroyed or damaged with the exception of a mere five. These remaining tanks were then reportedly pulled from the front lines given Ukrainian commanders’ fears they are too vulnerable to superior Russian airpower.
Why specifically a tank crew in this ad? Too many potential recruits paying attention to what’s happening in Ukraine? I think “First Target” was a very stupid choice for a title. On a battlefield, WHO would be the first target? A tank maybe?
FIRST TARGET | BE ALL YOU CAN BE | GOARMY

Death traps! I was a tank turret specialist 1967 to 1970. MOS 45 G 20.Army. Lucky to be alive.
Gracias Dios
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that we gave them technologically outdated tanks rather than spend the money to upgrade.
Training is also critical.
We did. Some of what we gave them was in old junk, which counted toward the dollar amount of the “aid”.
Congress has been buying more of them then the armed services needed, or wanted for many years.
Kickbacks on the contracts from the manufacturers, maintaining production lines and jobs in numerous States for reelection campaigns and so forth. And so, we ended up with boneyards with newly built tanks that would sit until they are cannibalized for spare parts.
The biggest change has been the use of drones. Missiles and shells have a low trajectory, and modern tanks have ways to protect from that low trajectory. Drones can fly over and hit the weak spots from above. Plus drones are relatively inexpensive.
Before Ukraine War I was under the impression that NATO Military tech was FAR in advance of Russias.
The war has proved that to be mistaken.
All the game changers (F16s, Abrahams, Bradleys, Taurus ) have been swatted and demolished by the Russ.
Russia has beaten NATO in Ukraine. US/UK/EU egos and pols refuse to accept that and many more thousands of Ukes will die before the White Flag is hoisted.
The Ukes need to sue for peace.
I agree with TheAkh, today’s and tomorrow’s battlefield is owned by the drones. Tanks, mortars and artillery, although highly effective and destructive in many applications are being left behind by the drones and the robots and the long range cruise missiles.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner: A History of Technical Challenges Under Scrutiny After First Fatal Accident
https://www.aviacionline.com/boeing-787-dreamliner-a-history-of-technical-challenges-under-scrutiny-after-first-fatal-accident
Who was onboard? That plane is like digital I.D. When they want to hack it it’s all available for the right person. Everything is fly by wire, and electric. They also are extremely durable as all Boeing planes are. The engines are a marvel to behold, which brings me to who was onboard.
This plane will tell you what’s wrong, and give you guidance to fix. You have to work to disallow its technology. I would guess what works on the 777 will not work with the 787 when you try to override some fault in flying. Maintenance you cannot override anything it will not work, causes all kinds of damage.
They literally had no time to do anything.
At 600ft it just stopped “flying”, no lift at all and pancaked in after 1.5 minutes.
How the 1 British guy survived is a miracle when you see the fireball on impact.
🙏 💔 💔 🙏
It might be interesting reading when they release the passenger list. This might be a Wet Work.
This is a lie, there is no evidence that Zelensky “pockets” anything.
Why are we telling lies?
It looks to me like we are backing away from what we’ve done to that country, with no accountability for anybody who did it.
Why would we want to do that?
Both sides seem to want to blame everything on Zelensky. That’s how you know you are on the wrong side, when the NYT says that Zelensky made stupid mistakes so it’s his fault and our leadership says he “pockets” the money we send, they are both covering up for the real villains.
General Kellogg has said we’ve accounted for what we send to Ukraine, Lindsey Graham says most of the money stays right here, this guy says Ukraine’s president “pocketed” it, which when you think about it, is ridiculous.
Lindsey is still heavily involved, no one is saying anything about it.
There was that head fake about blowing up a small number of old planes.
Just who are these lies meant to fool?
Us, that’s who.
Ukraine’s Zelensky is a barrier to peace that must be REMOVED – ex-Pentagon advisor
Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky is irrational, detached from reality, and uninterested in peace, only prolonging the conflict for personal gain, says retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor.
Zelensky is “completely disinterested in the losses that are inflicted on Ukraine,” and as long as he continues to receive Western cash, much of which he pockets, he is going to continue the bloodshed, the ex-Trump Pentagon advisor warns.
The solution? Zelensky and his band of criminals must be removed, MacGregor says.
Just now realizing this????
No, but when I hear someone of his level repeating lies it’s tearing the bandage off all over again.
JUNE 12 2025
Today, the Federal Minister of Defense of Germany, Boris Pistorius, is visiting Ukraine for the fifth time.
We had a detailed discussion on our cooperation. Agreements have been reached on additional investments in the defense industry – both in Ukraine and in Germany.
This includes long-range capabilities – there should be more of them, and there will be.
We also touched on the localization of air defense production in Ukraine and joint diplomatic efforts – everything related to strengthening our positions.
I’m grateful that the Ramstein format is being maintained; it’s important to continue reinforcing it.
Germany is undoubtedly one of the key leaders in providing assistance and protecting lives.
We truly value every support package.
This year alone, we already have €7 billion – and there may be more. Thank you!
Germany supporting the nazis… how ironic.
German leadership are Nazis. The globullusts and Nazis are the same — belief in superior people who should control the world.
The difference from the original Nazis is they wanted to get rid of groups like Jews and disabled, whereas globullusts want to get rid of everyone but themselves.
The coked up dwarfs wife went on a shopping spree in Paris while he demands money and aid.
They have their own money and it’s hearsay that she even did that.
If she wanted to exchange some of her own money for barter items during a war in an unstable country, that would be her own business.
These people aren’t innocent, but they are very much pawns all the same.
Constantly just blaming Obama and the Dimocrat useful idiots is simply falling for THE FACADE.

Chief Justice John Roberts’ Link to Rogue Judge Is Revealed
March 19, 2025
https://newsaddicts.com/chief-justice-john-roberts-link-to-rogue-judge-is-revealed/
Chief Justice John Roberts is facing renewed scrutiny after his past connection to Chief Judge James E. “Jeb” Boasberg has come under the spotlight. Boasberg, who was appointed to the U.S. District Court by former President Barack Obama in 2011, was later tapped by Roberts in 2014 to serve on the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA), which approved surveillance on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Chief Justice John Roberts Worked With Norm Eisen (5:03)
Mike Benz
3 Apr 2025
Chief Justice John Roberts spent a week living at Norm Eisen’s 150-room palace in the Czech Republic where they “worked on American and European Rule of Law issues together.” Eisen was Ambassador 2011-2014. Roberts became Chief Justice in 2005. This was while Roberts ran SCOTUS. [“Rule of Law” in the CIA’s color revolution definition means enabling their appointed (via maneuvering and funding), partisan judges and attorneys to obstruct, nullify elections of, and even imprison elected officials.]
Norm Eisen’s Perfectly Legal Color Revolution Against Trump
Jun 06, 2025
https://amuseonx.substack.com/p/norm-eisens-perfectly-legal-color
Was there a coup? That question, when asked in the context of American politics, invites ridicule from respectable quarters. Yet when the subject turns to foreign regimes, that same question is treated with analytic seriousness. Political scientists pore over cases from Georgia to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Egypt, cataloguing the hallmarks of so-called “color revolutions”, soft regime-change efforts executed through legal, media, and civic levers, rather than military ones. Oddly, however, the moment one notices similar tactics deployed on American soil, the conversation ends.
That silence deserves scrutiny. For there is a credible case that the 2020 effort to remove President Donald Trump from power bore the unmistakable traits of a color revolution. This was not a spontaneous mass rejection of a rogue leader, but a carefully constructed campaign led by a cadre of political professionals steeped in the tactics of regime destabilization.
A Company Family: The Untold History of Obama and the CIA (40 page article with footnotes)
Despite his liberal pretensions, Obama’s foreign policy was dreamed up at Langley—which should not have been surprising given his background

Once you have, as I have, seen via Mike Benz how very DEEP the rabbit hole goes, you’ll realize that closely following details about ANY pol or their relations to other pols and all of their intrigues and competitions are simply diversions from the FACT that they are merely the mostly compliant puppets who provide the Blob/Deep State a path to do what they choose to do behind a facade of voter control.
They are just the “temps” and the Blob/Deep State has been around FAR longer than they have. They comply because they get a cut of the spoils, because they were vetted by various means prior being to allowed to successfully (meaning big bucks) run for office AND because they fear what the intel community has on them or can do to them “Six ways from Sunday.”
If they fail to follow that approved path they will get the Trump treatment in all of its forms.
.
Okay, so and but the Blob/CIA is not itself a person.
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics, emotions, or motives to nonhuman things and entities.
Who — what individual(s) or group (where are they meeting, since there are little sem-autonomous fiefdoms planted around the world), is making the decisions and calling the shots? How and why, etc. Just a happy consensus among individuals concerned with and pursuing their own selfish interests and concerns?
.
“Just a happy consensus among individuals concerned with and pursuing their own selfish interests and concerns?”
YES, exactly, but only in part! But there are formal agencies which then empower them.
“You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities and fraternities, they’re on the same boards of directors, they’re on the same country clubs, they have like-interests. They don’t need to call a meeting; they know what is good for THEM, and they are getting it.” – George Carlin
“The Plutocracy is not a conspiracy in the formal sense of a membership which gathers like the Bohemian Club or even an informal assemblage such as the Bilderberg Group. “Membership” is granted solely by great wealth and control of productive assets; political influence flows from that. People who control, say, $100 million or more (via family ownership or managerial position), tend to meet one another socially or to do business, and while they jockey for advantage within a group like the rest of us, they form a small class of citizens possessing virtually unimpaired political influence. Thus in describing a Plutocracy I am not positing a semi-formal conspiracy but simply a financial elite which controls some 2/3 of the productive wealth of the U.S. This is simply a statement of fact. Their collective self-interest is in maintaining the conceptual, legal and financial systems which enable their continued dominance of wealth and influence.” – Charles Hugh Smith
And, of course, Charles Hugh Smith’s claim is reinforced by this:
Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens [Princeton University, 2014]
https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B/S1537592714001595a.pdf/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens.pdf
Excerpts:
A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. We report on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system [that describes the overwhelming influence of their true owners – W], even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
To be sure, this does not mean that ordinary citizens always lose out; they fairly often get the policies they favor, but only because those policies happen also to be preferred by the economically-elite citizens [and their Blob – W] who wield the actual influence.
.
Okay… Part of this is campaign finance reform? countering media and university propaganda? building up industries that don’t benefit directly from wars or things that are ultimately anti-American? …???
Because this is disturbing in that it seems to be anti-capitalism, and goves credence to vague anti-corporate leftism:
…Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy…
Chewing… So how does this influence “the CIA”, made up of lots of individuals with their own disparate career and family interests, a good number of whom are not brainiacs. So someone or someones directly are calling the shots. Who.
.
counsel….Exactly!
Forgot to mention: who appointed Roberts? Son of CIA daddy Bush.

On Roberts, Norm Eisen, etc. and corresponding past and current events in the US of A.
On the FACADE of reform via DOGE hype:
Benz: “And now people see, oh my god, they’re not codifying the DOGE cuts. How could they do this? And I said, “Uh, yeah.”
Me:
Of the $170 BILLION in potential cuts found by DOGE, the WH has submitted only $9.4 billion in a rescission request.
“The rescission include $1.1 billion in cuts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distribute funding to NPR and PBS, and $8.3 billion in cuts to USAID.”
USAID’s annual budget for fiscal year 2024 was approximately $21.7 billion.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, a civil war is simmering with millions of disaffected foreigners urged to travel thousands of miles with nothing, risking everything—death, rape, and slavery—promised a life of ease by an old man who we now know was just a demented marionette. Sorry. but you can’t make this stuff up.
These millions are not Americans. They don’t want to be Americans. That wasn’t the deal. All they had to do was get here and vote. Bring your gangs, bring your drugs (and worse). No problem. There are clips of them shooting live ammo at the cops in LA on X. One clever crew got their hands on a make-shift mortar. They are using it and urged to do so by a powerful group of billionaires (Ms Walton) eager to topple the United States government.
One thing they don’t want to do is get into a mortar exchange with our Marines!!! Godspeed to the Police and Sheriffs in LA and the National Guard and Marines sent to LA to end the riots!!!
Isn’t this the democrats way of keeping the president occupied with interior problems so he won’t be able to concentrate on the wider problems of ukraine/russia and iran. Just askin’
I am thinking it might be the
other way around.🤔

President Trump from concentrating

There needs to be a Bolshevik style Revolution in their own party if they want to be relevant again.
Disappointed that Alex would be using Wolf as a source. She is out there on the fruit cake level for me.
After the 1991 publication of her first book, The Beauty Myth, Wolf became a prominent figure in the third wave of the feminist movement.[2][3] Feminists including Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan praised her work. Others, including Camille Paglia, criticized it. In the 1990s, Wolf was a political advisor to the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.[4]
She is a monkey typing on the keyboard.
She’s on the right side of the poison vax issue.
She was majorly red pilled
I’m not worried about a Bolshevik Revolution in the US right now. The commies can keep dreaming, but the societal conditions aren’t in their favor. Lenin and Mao were revolting in a society where the masses were disenchanted with a conservative, traditional ruling class. Having accomplished their long march through the institutions, the would-be leftist revolutionaries will find that when any collapse happens, they will themselves be seen as the establishment by much of the disenchanted mob.
JMO.
For the current RINO members of the administration staff, it is becoming awkward to say the least on day 144.
Yup, there are hard core RINOs in the administration staff.
Their loyalty was not in doubt through 11/5/24 – they had proudly help elect President Trump to save the USA … temporarily putting aside their personal and past professional beliefs and associations.
But they are now being torn between President Trump’s MAGA / America First marching orders and their personal beliefs and past support of globalist goals and globalist organizations like big Pharma, big Legal and big War.
Are they starting to slow walk some of his orders like the RINOs in 2017 did?
It is unfair to his MAGA / America First supporters and all Americans to have hard core RINOs in key positions in this administration, working against his plans and promises he made to the American citizens during the past 4 years of campaigning.
The time has come to shed the current hard core RINOs from his staff, especially those at a senior level. It is just the right thing to do and time is of the essence.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!

‘Then suddenly, in an instant, your ruthless enemies will become nothing more than dust in the wind and your vile tyrants like wind-driven chaff! She will be visited by the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, with thunder, earthquake, and deafening noise, with whirlwind, tempest, and the blaze of a consuming fire!’

Praying there won’t be a world war.
We need to pray that there won’t be a civil war too because the Democommunists seem to be going that way.
I worry that a civil war is already here under the guise of ‘protests’…and that this civil strife is the precursor to the world war. Sort of like ‘the shot heard ’round the world’ or the attack on Fort Sumter although a domestic issue.
Our enemies, both foreign and domestic, while fueling the civil strife, are also studying these events as the country responds and how to use the response, to their advantage.
History may not repeat, but I am getting a sense of ‘rhyming’.
Are the Mexers getting restless in Chicagoland AG?
Quiet so far…right now I am hunkered down in the suburban bunker, I took the week off from work…God…mysterious ways…I get all my news from my co-workers… or what I actually see with my own eyes.
There will be at least 6 events on Saturday, within 20 miles of me.
Nothing big was reported on (yesterday) either on the MSM or via you tube…its almost as if there is a media ‘blackout’. The mayor of Chicago and Pritzker are in Washington I think…

President Trump does not want war.
Now for the contradiction.
Prior to FJB’s handlers starting the Ukraine initiative, Otto Pen unceremoniously withdrew us from Afghanistan so that there would be no distractions. It appears that we are downsizing FJB’s Ukraine initiative. Let us hope it’s for peace and not to free up our focus in order to get involved with Iran.
I’m afraid that we are trying to make it a clean getaway for those Americans who caused the situation in Ukraine.
Always but just an fyi. The idea that a war in Iran would turn into WW3 is overblown. Ru wouldn’t get directly involved (probably provide weapons) and it very likely wouldn’t be a ground invasion of Iran

This is what we get for not tearing the whole agency down and starting from scratch.

Watch this guy’s testimony (click photo). He was offered cash to ‘go protest’ in LA. 200 USD/day. There are pallets of bricks being left at sites and these people are being instructed to use them against other human beings. As I have asked previously: Who is paying for this?
Peaceful my ass.
https://open.substack.com/pub/jessicar/p/find-out-about-no-kings
I’ll take the 200$ a day to infiltrate/ disrupt and disclose these MF’ers!!
IDK if they are offering that in Buffalo.
Give me a body cam & I will collect evidence!!!
Unless they are doing any cursory checks on vetting their recruits.
Public records – I have been registered w/the NYS Conservative Party since 1996.
Good thing I am Indy!
Press him HARD to give up those who funded him and directed him.
And his immigration status is….
Hahaha. FAFO, moron.
If the FBI arrested him it must be on Federal charges. I wonder what obama Federal District Judge will get his case and whether he gets a plea deal or trial? Are the California juries any different than the DC J6er hanging juries? So jury nullification is a real possibility?
Yes, they are federal charges.
The USDC Central District of California consists of the following counties: Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Ventura and Santa Barbara, and is subdivided into three divisions.
The Western Division is Los Angeles, Ventura, San Luis Obispo and San Bernardino, so the jury pool would likely be drawn from all those counties.
.
This guy showed his face while looking directly at a camera.
Then he made some sort of hand signals for ‘someone’.
Too much bad acting, directors cues, and lazy production values for me to believe this was not all done for the consumption of other actors looking for their spotlight . . .
How could he make hand signals when they are handcuffed behind his back? Do you have different photos than what is being shown?
.
Oh, dear.
The video which got him caught is what I am referring to, not the pictures of him getting arrested . . .
I was just reading an article saying that ICE raids are specifically targeting CARTEL MONEY LAUNDERING OPERATIONS in America and the Mexican and Columbian Cartels are BIG MAD and are taking the lead in causing violent uprisings inside the USA. ICE crippling the money laundering is a dagger to the heart of the cartels.
ICE is directly over the target. Bravo ! !
That was the reason for the LA raids. It was not to arrest people who snuck across the border/overstayed visas, despite what the MSM and rioters said.
“Here you go: The real reason the Los Angeles ICE riots started is because of a Mexico cartel money laundering operation in California
ICE was there serving warrants and stopping the money laundering and then Democrat NGOs released their troops”
“Dr Phil “Warehouse and retail outlet that you served warrants on. The belief is, and the evidence suggests that this is a cartel related business here in the United States, that this money, the $80 million that they are suspected of undervaluing the double digit millions in tariffs that they are suspected and will be charged with violations on income tax evasion.
— We also got tax evasion and we also got customs fraud and you know, ICE. Big part of ICE responsibilities are Customs, Customs laws, Customs enforcement.”
I am laughing a bit about the warrants etc and charges for tax evasion…what did they get Al Capone on? And who now seems to have ‘more indictments’ than old Al???
Go get ’em Donald!
Irony at its best!
Elliot Ness…Tom Homan! !
Nice. Confiscate their money also and pay down the debt.
Pay for the troops the Representative was so concerned about spending the money.
Bingo…confirms what I thought… with the Dems it’s all about money…Cartels are donating to the Dem party (or their affiliates) to push open borders…and their drugs on the American people
Just like the trannies…a money source is behind that as well…
A post from Wall Street Apes and DR. PHIL confirms your thinking???
Good Lord.
Yes…do you have an opinion TB of who’s behind this?
Let’s hear it smart guy…

Anybody think that Gavin and Co. don’t know this? Of course they do. It’s part of that much flouted CA economy.

Warfronts is a *Decent* channel. They are about as objective as you’ll get on military matters around the globe, on Yotube. That doesn’t mean they are objective; Simon is Euro-Centric and in very , very light smatterings of editorial commentary clearly believes the EU/WEF view of the world.
However, their analysis is very objective in terms of facts on the ground in everything they cover, and they do always present both parties’ sides to the story and make that clear.
They don’t talk trash about Trump, though you will pick up inferences of the Euro POV on some of his light jokes.
President Trump tweeted an unwritten “framework” based on the unwritten Geneva “consensus” would see Chinese students back at U.S. universities, and rare earths provided to U.S. firms “up front”, while China would face a 55% U.S. tariff & the U.S. a 10% China tariff….yet the WSJ says the rare earths are only for six months. This on-off will continue until one side builds a Harvard or the other gets weaponized rare earth processing in place.
.
U.S. has rare earths. But we have only one facility currently processing. Perhaps we should be subsidizing investments in this industry instead of EVs and windmills.
.
indeed. And for those who can’t understand why we don’t just cut off trade, it takes a little time to build processing facilities. We outsourced critical capabilities to the greatest threat to our nation, and now they have leverage over us.
I think Elon should make a suite of combustion engine vehicles. He’d make a fortune. Oh wait…
And devest in solar farms.
Why not just stop using windmills and EVs, there will then be a glut in rare earths.
John Solomon has been reporting on the Covid origin DNA and how it now appears to be a chimera or man modified virus. He seems to be blaming the Chinese still and somehow trying to exempt our Intelligence Agencies who must’ve not only known this about Covid, but possibly assisted them in creating it. Does Solomon work with the CIA I wonder? Is he trying to cover there culpability in the pandemic as the story breaks?
“Ceparately, Just the News reported the FBI has a sprawling criminal investigation into COVID cover-ups, including one based in Cleveland that is focused on the virus’ origins. Some witnesses familiar with the DIA assessment have already been in contact with agents in the case.
FBI Director Kash Patel dropped another bombshell over the weekend, confirming his agents had obtained the long-sought cellphones belonging to Fauci during the pandemic.
The emergence of the DIA research is a jarring twist in a long-running drama inside Washington as to why U.S. intelligence agencies – except for the FBI and Energy Department – were so slow to embrace evidence showing a possible lab accident/leak from dangerous gain-of-function research inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology had unleashed the deadly pandemic. The CIA only recently changed its assessment that COVID-19 had likely emanated from a lab leak.”
https://justthenews.com/accountability/whistleblowers/covid-cover-probes-focus-early-military-intel-virus-was-manufactured
Something isn’t right with Tick Tock Solomon.
I could see him as CIA or definitely working for one of the intelligence agencies.
He and Sara Carter spewed out a lot of disinformation…
He’s not a friendly, and I agree… he is seriously off. Very much dislike him and Sara Carter. They seem like DeSantis/Sea-Island ops.

He is likely having lunch with Glenn Beck somewhere. This household does not care what he has to say about anything, ever.

Dr. Robert Malone one of eight picked by Robert Kennedy Jr for new vax board!
“Malone, who holds some of the earliest mRNA patents and has never been contradicted over his claim to have invented the technology, was an early and vocal critic of the covid vaccines.
Owing to his credentials and his incomparable knowledge of the mRNA platform, Dr. Malone’s voice was one of the most challenging and difficult for the establishment to rebut. They hated him, in other words (and still do, quite fiercely, in fact).
Not only that, but Dr. Malone is a deep reservoir of institutional knowledge, gained through his own professional experience in vaccine development, arcane government skunkworks operations, and the defense industry’s inexplicable involvement in the biomedical sector.
He took the first two shots and promptly got a serious vaccine injury, which he barely survived.”
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/man-problems-thursday-june-12-2025?publication_id=463409&post_id=165784878&isFreemail=true&r=ck852&triedRedirect=true
Malone wasn’t “picked.” Malone volunteered to be picked. That’s because malone has, and always has had, a nose for a sweet deal. Meaning he knows he’ll get paid for doing nothing except talking
Bad, bad, RFK Jr. You let the wolf into the hen house.
The good news, though, is nothing will get done with malone on the case.
So Malone was one of the loudest voices speaking about the dangers of the vax and the fact that the virus was engineered because he is a grifter? Ok.
Don’t know the reason, but mention Robert Malone and JD’s claws come out.
I’ve been paying attention to Dr Malone since his Wienstein interview, and have seen him evolve but always base his opinions on documented research. His professional background is extensive and uniquely suited to the task at hand. And he has been relentlessly attacked by the medical/scientific establishment. A plus, in my mind.
If JD has data supporting his low opinion of Dr Malone, I, for one, would like some links/citations.
I have some reservations about Malone, after the way he talked about Nicole Shanahan. It was extremely uncalled for to call her an influencer seeking attention.
“..Malone was one of the loudest voices speaking about the dangers of the vax.”
Here’s something you should know.
Malone makes money as long as the vaccine is in public use.
Which is why he will never advocate that the vaccine be entirely banned for public use.
Instead, he will always advocate for public use of the vaccine BUT only by a certain segment of the population.
If the vaccine were banned from any public use, there would by no reason to pick and pay malone for anything. IOW, malone would fade away.
Are you getting the picture of who this guy is and where he’s coming from?
From a 2021 article in Nature.
While a lot of messiness which is common in academia/research, I don’t see why you would say Dr Malone is profitting from the vaccine. I bolded the relavent text.
FTA
In late 1987, Robert Malone performed a landmark experiment. He mixed strands of messenger RNA with droplets of fat, to create a kind of molecular stew. Human cells bathed in this genetic gumbo absorbed the mRNA, and began producing proteins from it1.
Realizing that this discovery might have far-reaching potential in medicine, Malone, a graduate student at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, later jotted down some notes, which he signed and dated. If cells could create proteins from mRNA delivered into them, he wrote on 11 January 1988, it might be possible to “treat RNA as a drug”. Another member of the Salk lab signed the notes, too, for posterity. Later that year, Malone’s experiments showed that frog embryos absorbed such mRNA2. It was the first time anyone had used fatty droplets to ease mRNA’s passage into a living organism.
Malone contends that Verma and Vical struck a back-room deal so that the relevant intellectual property went to Vical. Malone was listed as one inventor among several, but he no longer stood to profit personally from subsequent licensing deals, as he would have from any Salk-issued patents. Malone’s conclusion: “They got rich on the products of my mind.”
Malone left Vical in August 1989, citing disagreements with Felgner over “scientific judgment” and “credit for my intellectual contributions”. He completed medical school and did a year of clinical training before working in academia, where he tried to continue research on mRNA vaccines but struggled to secure funding. (In 1996, for example, he unsuccessfully applied to a California state research agency for money to develop a mRNA vaccine to combat seasonal coronavirus infections.) Malone focused on DNA vaccines and delivery technologies instead.
In 2001, he moved into commercial work and consulting. And in the past few months, he has started publicly attacking the safety of the mRNA vaccines that his research helped to enable. Malone says, for instance, that proteins produced by vaccines can damage the body’s cells and that the risks of vaccination outweigh the benefits for children and young adults — claims that other scientists and health officials have repeatedly refuted.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w
He doesn’t advocated for the use of mRNA period. He was/is jab injured himself.
https://x.com/RWMaloneMD/status/1932424607778181194
Before he became “one of the loudest voices speaking out about the dangers of the vax” he was actually the loudest voice stating, and showing proof, that it was his, and his alone, patent that created the technology to create the mRNA injections –
once he realized these were killing people his loud voice changed – to be the voice of ‘oh no, don’t use those injections’ –
and now he gets to sit on the board making judgement of whether or not mRNA injections are helpful vaccines.
Dude has serious conflict of interest issues.
Malone was a warning voice early on. He’s the reason I didn’t get the vax.

Kennedy Sacks ACIP
Karl Denninger
And its about damn time.
The ACIP is a committee that develops “recommendations” for the use of vaccines of all sorts in the general population. The problem is that they’re not really recommendations; they wind up as binding requirements in most states because the CDC approves them and then the states put them into LAW with regard to public schools in particular.
The issue is the same we have with most areas of medicine today: Secondary endpoints and corrupted “trials” are what we live with. It is not unique by any means to this area but since anything on the childhood schedule confers immunity from lawsuit for defective products and bad outcomes they confer something that, by law, should not be able to be done by private and unaccountable parties at all.
What’s even worse is that there are no placebo controlled trials actually required against an actual placebo, nor does the combination of the new recommendations as they are made undergo separate study. The latter is especially nasty because all modern vaccines have what are called “adjuvants” in them — compounds that themselves do not stimulate a specific immune response but they do irritate the immune system.
As with all things the dose makes a thing a poison and thus as each additional shot was added to the schedule medical science demands that the additive impact of these adjuvants and excipients (other compounds in them) be evaluated for their cumulative and additive harms.
This has literally never been done here or anywhere else in the world.

FTA “Is Chinese President Xi Jinping – the great architect of the Covid lockdowns – about to be defenestrated? Those are the rumors coming out of China – and the fallout from the crippling lockdowns is part of the reason. Is it a coincidence that the expunging of Xi Zhongxun [Xi Jinping’s father] has come to light while Xi himself seemingly disappeared from public view in the last two weeks of May? Chinese institutions are always alert to changes in the political wind – no more so than the state media. Recently China-watchers have detected subtle changes. Xi, usually on every front page of the People’s Liberation Army Daily, has been much less prominent. Shen Ming-Shih, a Director of the Institute for National Defence and Security Research in Taiwan, has observed “a noticeable decline in the official references to Xi”.
In the realm of economic management there are also signs of discontent. It is widely recognized that Xi’s repressive handling of the Covid pandemic was catastrophic. In the end it was public protest that forced him to end lockdown. By Chinese standards, post-Covid recovery has been anemic. A property crash has destroyed consumer confidence and has also landed provincial governments with unsustainable levels of debt. Graduate unemployment has risen sharply. Many are fleeing to the West to find employment. …”
Would be an answer to prayer if the ChiCom’s iron fist rule over China ended!! Wonder if any of the Hong Kong capitalists are still alive and could replace the Communist Party??? I remember reading posts here of Chinese forcibly locked in their apartments during Covid and screaming out the windows for help. So very sad!
Freedom speech about spending our sunset years telling our children…
That’s why younger Americans are being taught to blame the “Boomers” for everything. To keep them from listening to and learning from their elders.
First though, they teach the children to disrespect the parents.
That’s how we get people in their 40s and 50s complaining that their parents have a house but they don’t.
As if it’s the parents’ fault.
I have one like that….and they cannot be reasoned with.
Nobody is being “taught to blame the Boomers for everything”. Your inagination is running wild.
I think the younger generation (18 and under) can clearly see that for themselves.
I am reasonably young, myself, and I look forward to a much better society over the next 20 years. ☺️
It won’t be better if your ilk are the ones pushing society to abnormal and aberrant “norms”. Instead, you will feel like you are in a Mad Max movie.
You won’t like what you have sown.
While I cannot give links, I will go on my reputation for veracity….
maybe its not being “taught” to blame baby boomers per se however…they worked hard and saved their money for their retirements. But many millennials are jealous. Very jealous.
Baby boomers are healthier…I look at my own grandma of then, retired, the age I am now…I am still working and for fun, chase my dogs on astroturf or in a sheep paddock. At the same age, my grandmother had had one stroke, two cancer surgeries, a heart attack and pacemaker implanted.
There are many article out in the vast world of Al Gore’s internet, that blame baby boomers for the economic problems. And for the problems of millennials. And of course the potential bankrupting of social security and medicare…of which has not yet happened.
Perhaps its more the generational disconnect…I heard that a lot, while growing up.

I expect the birthright citizenship/national injunctions opinion to be one of the last, if only because the oral argument was just on May 15. The Court usually adjourns for the summer by the Fourth of July.
They have to work for their paychecks now.
… there is a monstrous difference between a vaccine — a thing that induces sterile immunity such that you can neither get or transmit the infectious thing — and prophylaxis which protects only the person who takes the preparation.
The latter never can be justified on the basis of a mandate simply because the benefit or harm only accrues to the person who takes it. If I decline such a preparation the risk is uniquely mine and nobody else’s. The other circumstance, where sterile immunity is generated, protects both me and transmission to others and thus attenuates propagation of the disease in the population at-large.
These are two very different things and the ACIP knows this yet they intentionally lie and treat both the same.
This is not only a fraud when it leads to injury or death it is capital felony offense and that it is a government agency or committee involved in it makes no difference. To take a calculated risk and lose is a choice we all make every day; to be induced to take such a risk under false pretense is an act that deserves swift justice seated on an electric chair or before a firing squad.

Exactly!
If the jab doesn’t prevent infection of the jabbed, then how do the unjabbed present a threat to the jabbed any greater than the jabbed against the jabbed? It was never a pandemic of the unjabbed. That was a bald faced lie.
Q: Why has there never been a perfect sterilizing vaccine against a coronavirus?
Grok:
No vaccine has achieved perfect sterilization (complete prevention of infection and transmission) against coronaviruses due to their biological characteristics and the complexities of immune responses. Here’s why:
1. **Viral Mutation Rates**: Coronaviruses, like SARS-CoV-2, have relatively high mutation rates compared to some other viruses (e.g., measles). This allows them to evolve variants that can partially evade vaccine-induced immunity, reducing the likelihood of complete sterilization. For example, SARS-CoV-2 variants like Delta and Omicron showed breakthrough infections despite vaccination.
2. **Mucosal Immunity Challenge**: Coronaviruses primarily infect via mucosal surfaces (e.g., respiratory tract). Most vaccines, delivered intramuscularly, generate strong systemic immunity (e.g., antibodies in blood) but weaker mucosal immunity (e.g., IgA in the respiratory tract). Sterilizing immunity requires robust mucosal defenses to block infection at the entry point, which current vaccines struggle to achieve.
3. **Waning Immunity**: Vaccine-induced immunity, particularly antibody levels, tends to wane over time. Coronaviruses exploit this, as neutralizing antibodies may drop below levels needed to prevent infection, though protection against severe disease often persists longer.
4. **Broad Host Range and Immune Evasion**: Coronaviruses can infect multiple species and have mechanisms to evade immune responses, such as interfering with interferon signaling. This adaptability makes it harder to design vaccines that completely block infection across all strains or hosts.
5. **Complex Immune Correlates**: Sterilizing immunity depends on precise immune correlates (e.g., specific antibody levels or T-cell responses) that are not fully understood for coronaviruses. Unlike diseases like smallpox, where vaccines consistently prevent infection, coronaviruses elicit variable immune responses that may not fully neutralize the virus.
6. **Practical Vaccine Design Limits**: Most coronavirus vaccines (e.g., for SARS-CoV-2) target the spike protein to neutralize the virus. However, even small changes in this protein can reduce vaccine effectiveness. Additionally, achieving sterilizing immunity often requires high, sustained antibody levels, which is logistically challenging.
Among the jabbed, “breakthrough infections were experienced by up to 75% in specific 2023 settings with Omicron subvariants.”
Thee is no such thing as “vaccine prevention of infection” – hobbling the Human immune system from accomplishing it’s designed detoxification functions (producing “symptoms”)
does NOT equate to “immunity” aka * rendering one impervious to infection*.
Forever & always consistently has & will be TRUE – Vaccination is NOT “immunization” – yet those terms are conflated for the perfidious purpose of mind-raping & manipulating the target market with satanic inversion of facts, logic, & Truth to make ‘true believers’ .
Dominating Nature’s exquisitely complex, elegant, & precise design by artifice (& claiming/ expecting only “benefit”) is a hubristic fool’s errand.
It’s particularly frustrating to me that people can’t see this, because it’s all crystal clear & out in the open.
How about “Know them by their fruits”…?
“… a vaccine — a thing that induces sterile immunity such that you can neither get or transmit the infectious thing …
where sterile immunity is generated, protects both me and transmission to others and thus attenuates propagation of the disease in the population at-large….“
IS THE ENTIRETY OF THE VX INDUSTRY SCAM – THERE IS NO SUCH ACTION BY INJECTION OF TOXIC SOUP!!! Ever; no never not ever.
Yes I’m *screaming* because this has been TRUE since the beginning of Vx – not the profiteers’ claim of “safe effective & necessary.”
You can’t see that fact because they’ve hidden the Human carnage in plain sight (*all* the chronic disorders are idiopathic & coincidence); NO dot-connecting is permitted.
Well some “tinfoil hat” people ARE able to connect the dots-in-plain-sight anyway. Read the Vx ingredients and convince me this produces “imperviousness to disease contraction & spreading” and not chronic disorder

Provoked Riots and Planned Wildfires: Inside the Orwellian Reimagining of Los Angeles
As the riots rage, the familiar pattern emerges at the scene of pallets of bricks mysteriously showing up to empower ANTIFA thugs and other detestable leftists to cause as much carnage as possible.

“As the riots rage on in Los Angeles, the familiar pattern emerges at the scene of pallets of bricks mysteriously showing up to empower ANTIFA thugs and other detestable leftists to cause as much carnage as possible.
With the fake news media and self-serving political figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass running cover for the rioters, they are going to be successful in permanently destroying many blocks of the city despite the effective response from the National Guard and Marines deployed wisely by President Trump….”

WORLD RECORD: Greta Thunberg becomes the first hostage victim in history whose kidnappers’ only demand is that she leave
Shades of O. Henry’s classic story, “The Ransom of Red Chief.” Kidnappers snatch a rich man’s son, who turns out to be such a hellion that the kidnappers end up paying the father to take the brat back.
I was thinking the same thing…!
Greta Thunberg is trying her best to be relevant.
The reality is she has nothing of value, does nothing of value, and has no skillset that matters, as far as I can see. She had her “15 minutes” years ago and her name recognition is fading with each year. She is merely a ineffective pawn that is occasionally used by others to get some media attention.
I believe that she is far beyond her shelf-life and the power brokers will likely move on to other more effective pawns going forward.

Oh Look!!!
Ukraine says that mothers in Britain and other places must be willing to have their sons go die to protect Finland. Of course what he means is they must go to Ukraine to defend “Finland.” I say the first to go die should be the girl bosses in Finland and other EU Chihuahua nations who thought joining NATO was quite in fashion.

We Finally Know What Happened to the Baggie of Cocaine Found at White House: How Is This Not a Cover-Up?
https://www.westernjournal.com/finally-know-happened-baggie-cocaine-found-white-house-not-cover/
Last Friday, a report from RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree — who has been on the trail (or line, if you want to be punny) of the baggie of cocaine found in a White House locker in July 2023 — reported that the Secret Service acted to destroy the evidence the day after it closed the case and appears to have punished the official who Cheatle overruled when it came to destroying the narcotic substance.
I think they destroyed it up their own noses.
I didn’t care even at the time. A diversionary topic. There are many VASTLY more serious topics to devote limited investigative resources on.

Bilderberg is definitely one to watch closely.

Don’t worry guys, Lindsay Graham and Dan Crenshaw are invited to the picnic still. So is every democrat.
Paul continues to ignore that a reconciliation bill CANNOT address ANY annual appropriations spending.
He’s going to the picnic.
He should probably reconsider, as we know what happens at outdoor events that he attends.
Why do you keep posting garbage and lies?
“Of course Senator Rand Paul and his beautiful wife and family are invited to the BIG White House Party tonight. He’s the toughest vote in the history of the U.S. Senate, but why wouldn’t he be? Besides, it gives me more time to get his Vote on the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, one of the greatest and most important pieces of legislation ever put before our Senators & Congressmen/women. It will help to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I look forward to seeing Rand. The Party will be Great!”

President Trump posted his response to the Rand lie 5 hours ago.
First of all, it isn’t my post, the Red Headed Libertarian was merely commenting on what Rand Paul had stated himself.
Second, we don’t know that it isn’t true that “petty staffers” had “disinvited” him. This would not be the first time a staffer had done something without the President’s knowledge, and PDJT did not address that issue at all, he merely stated that of course Rand was invited.
Third, President Trump’s post was after her post.

I think, unfortunately, that the first thing that will have to be done to counter these well-organized “mostly peaceful protests” is to treat them as the insurrection that they are. And this is going to mean: “deadly force.”
Try your best to tell “innocent, stupid people” to stay away. You don’t want any more “Kent State” than you can avoid. But they also need to know that the people they are stupidly following and protecting “are not nice people, like they might be.”

Trump ‘gold card’ website opens. Here’s how to join the $5 million waitlist
June 11, 2025
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-gold-card-website-opens-005648560.html
President Donald Trump’s long-touted “gold card,” which offers foreigners a path to U.S. citizenship after paying $5 million to the government, is open for business.
But even if you have the money, there’s a waitlist at trumpcard.gov. And read the fine print carefully: Your $5 million doesn’t buy you immediate citizenship.
Trump has said that he is not seeking approval from Congress as he is not providing gold card buyers with citizenship – only a path to citizenship. The path to citizenship requirements for card buyers are unclear and White House officials have said more details will be provided soon.
The most common path to U.S. citizenship through naturalization is being a lawful permanent resident for at least five years. It requires the applicant to be least 18 years old when they apply, be able to read, write, and speak basic English (depending on age) and be of “good moral character.”
Trump has described the card, which he has also dubbed the Trump card, as “somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication.”
Darn. I thought that leaving it our of the BBB was going to kill this horrible idea.
This isn’t knew, just worse than what we already had, which should never have been.

About Fifth Pathway
The Fifth Pathway, created by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1971, has allowed certain students who attended four years at an international medical school to complete their supervised clinical work at a U.S. medical school, to become eligible for entry to U.S. residency training, and ultimately to obtain a license to practice in the United States.
Individuals who pursued the Fifth Pathway completed the four-year didactic curriculum at the international medical school, but they did not complete the internship and/or social service requirement for graduation. Instead, they completed a Fifth Pathway program, which was one year of supervised clinical work at a U.S. medical school. Since they did not complete the internship and/or social service requirement, they did not receive the final medical diploma, and, therefore, are not eligible for ECFMG Certification.
The AMA’s Council on Medical Education has withdrawn its support of the Fifth Pathway as a mechanism for eligibility to enter the first year of ACGME-accredited graduate medical education programs. The last Fifth Pathway program class supported was the January 2009 entering class, which ended in December 2009.
