THE GAME PLAN
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in the country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster and more effectively, despite more resistance than has ever been mounted against the function of a U.S. presidency
The purpose of President Trump is plainly visible and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, that they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are those stupid, greedy American citizens who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 185 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.

When will YOU no longer believe the MSM – Part 2
KIWI in AMERICA:
A few weeks ago, in this Post, I listed but a small fraction of the less consequential lies the Mainstream Media have told about President Donald Trump. Today I will cover a shorter list of:

Part 1:
When will YOU no longer believe the MSM? – Part 1
https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2025/07/when_will_you_no_longer_believe_the_msm_part_1.html
Infuriatingly excellent list of “False Media Narratives” followed by the truth! ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC are all IC run mockingbird msm! The propaganda and made up lies their news programs spew 24/7 is poisonous! Seriously something has to be done to stop this daily poisonous drip!! Hope and pray that broadcasting licenses are terminated because the truth is so often ignored or ridiculed!!! Wonder if their news programs only can be banned? Just do something President Trump! JMO
AG Bondi immediately fires Alina Habba’s replacement after judges vote to oust Habba as Interim US Attorney of New Jersey
https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1947768353025556950
It’s really breathtaking the sheer number of things President Trump is having to reverse, having to deal with, even in the midst of the economic, military, foreign affairs, and sovereignty issues; here’s a cultural issue that I didn’t even realize was a thing:
The Trump administration directed the National Park Service (NPS) to remove signs that were critical of American history and instead promote the “progress of the American people.”
The order directed as many as 433 NPS sites to remove critical signs meant to “inappropriately disparage Americans” while insisting on messages to promote the “progress of the American people” and the “grandeur of the American landscape.” A deadline was set for September 17, 2025. Certain messages that were erased pertained to climate change, past racial divisions, Native American history, and slavery. Per the New York Times:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/22/report-trump-administration-directed-national-parks-to-remove-signs-critical-of-america/
Leftists are insane.
They believe that putting their radical leftist crap up in our national parks is a good thing, while at the same time believing they are the guardians of clean air, land and water. It’s OK if they pollute; it’s their stuff and it’s more important than anything else.
Oh, good grief 😑
What pray tell do our nat’l parks have to do with climate change and slavery? Rhetorical. Tell Old Faithful to quit spewing…
Read up on UNESCO and Trump Withdraws From UNESCO. There are 23 US National Parks that are/were part of this global organization. Pretty sure these are the beginning sites where the critical messaging will be removed. Bites when you can’t control your own national parks. Thank you for withdrawing the second time President Trump.
There are 23 sites in the US, not 23 parks.
I just listed all the parks on the UNESCO list.
You can see the list if you scroll down to the post I made early this morning that includes the video by that globalist tool.
There was no way for me to tag you or I would have.
If you see any errors, anyone, please correct them.

Thank you for the correction. Posting the National Parks Experience site which lists 14 National parks as UNESCO Heritage sites. In addition to the 14 National Parks there are five other National Park Service Sites with UNESCO World Heritage Status. I believe there are 24 sites total. Within the total are places like The Statue of Liberty, Frank Lloyd Wright Homes, The Alamo, etc. Good to read up, one is one too many. https://www.travel-experience-live.com/list-of-national-parks-that-are-unesco-world-heritage-sites/ or the UNESCO site info.
Is there anything biden’s dirty hands didn’t change?
Via Devolution, I don’t believe the nuclear codes were anywhere near that shitshow at any point in time.
And now we’re out of UNESCO and don’t have to kow tow to their bs.
Daily FAFO from yesterday… – I’m sure there will be some today for a bonus round

Multiple white officers rendering aid to a black man who just tried to kill one of them?
More evidence of sYsteMic rAciSm, huh?
What has our nation come to that we need to gun down citizens like rabid animals.
A man wielding two knives stabs a police officer who was responding to a domestic disturbance.
Do you think those knives may have been threatening someone on the property?
Would you “feel” better if the man had stabbed, maimed and perhaps killed one of the occupants of the place?
You are aware of the number of knife attacks that have claimed the lives of people world wide?
Anyone stupid enough to stab a police officer hopefully has enough brain cells to realize that it may end their life.
Meanwhile, yesterday in the winded city:

The video included is weak on info…
I don’t think she was being critical of the LEOs at all, rather, a reasonable question seeking to understand.
I understand and I apologize if I was unduly harsh. It was a simple logic question to me.
I know a good number of cops and I don’t want any of them to have to take a life however in defense of your own life seems a legit reason to do so. Nor do I want any of them to hesitate and deprive their families of their presence because they did hesitate.
I think “rabid” persons running wild may have been her point.
Agree! Remember the Tueller drill? Sergeant Dennis Tueller of the Salt Lake City Police Department wondered how quickly an attacker with a knife, or other melee weapon, could cover 21 feet (6.4 m), so he timed volunteers as they raced to stab the target. He determined that it could be done in 1.5 seconds. Most cops can’t draw their gun and shoot that fast! Cops don’t need to be stabbed before responding!!! Once an assailant gets close with a knife the officer’s life is in danger!!!
What has our nation become that people are attacking citizens and cops to try and kill them on a daily basis ??
It’s not just us…its global…and its a God Problem…the absence of God!
So right Aggie. I couldn’t get out of my head the post someone made here yesterday about a family member, a nurse in assisted living, who was forced to participate in the euthanization of a mentally impaired man.
This man wasn’t old, wasn’t terminal, wasn’t anything, and he didn’t want to die. This was in Canada. This is evil incarnate.
I think drugs really destroy civilized behavior and despair.
Hunter’s 3 hour interview is ample evidence of this.
It has come to understand that rabid animals in the process of harming others, need to be put down before they harm anyone else.
I’m good with it.
You’re an idjit…
Now now, be nice
Wow, watch the video and think of your Dad, Brother, Husband, Son, or Daughter on the receiving end of the ‘citizen’. Just wow.
I am thankful Every day that my bff was in an accident and she is no longer a HPD officer.
If said citizen is trying to stab somebody — generally seen as an overtly aggressive, potentially lethal act — then one should expect that they might get ‘gunned down’.
Moral of the story: don’t be crazy, don’t stab people (unless it’s self defense).
Rabid animals pose a serious threat to countless lives.
If a person threatens the lives of others the person must be neutralized in the most expedient and safest manner to protect the innocent, whether LEOs or everyone else.
To restore respect for law and order would require a return to honor and worship of God as the highest authority.
If God is removed from any society, it descends into “every man for himself”chaos.
God bless America once again! Each of us has the responsibility as children of God to demonstrate our belief in our thoughts, words. and deeds. Good will overcome evil.
What has our nation come to, that so many of our citizens (and the uninvited) are encouraged to comport themselves like rabid animals?
Was he even a citizen? He wasn’t very civil.
Eliminate the rabid animal with the knives.
Why was a mountain climber prosecuted for climbing a mountain?
When mountain runner Michelino Sunseri climbed and descended Grand Teton in record time last September, he posted information his route on social media. According to the National Park Service (NPS) and the Justice Department, Sunseri thereby implicated himself in a federal crime punishable by six months in jail.
Although the NPS later reconsidered its recommendation that Sunseri should be prosecuted for his seemingly inadvertent use of an unapproved trail, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Wyoming tried Sunseri anyway. Two members of the House Judiciary Committee recently decried that baffling decision, saying it “appears to be a prime example of the problem of overcriminalization”—a problem that President Trump is keen to address.
President Trump instructed all federal prosecutors to prioritize civil and administrative remedies over criminal enforcement where conduct was unintentional, non-harmful, or gained no advantage.”
The fact that Sunseri advertised his route strongly suggests he did not realize he was breaking the law. And as WyoFile noted after Sunseri’s trial, the path that the NPS said he should not have taken, known as “the old climber’s trail,” is “a historic trail so well-used that it’s become a skinny singletrack.”
In fact, Cato Institute legal fellow Mike Fox notes, “record holders before Sunseri had used the same trail, and tour guides who charge hefty sums frequently lead hikers up the same route. Only two tiny and ambiguous signs inform the public that the trail is off-limits.”
One of those signs, at the top of the trail, said “shortcutting causes erosion.” The other sign, at the bottom of the trail, said “closed for regrowth.”
Ed Bushnell, one of Sunseri’s attorneys, argued that his client was not “shortcutting,” since he was using a long-established trail. Bushnell added that it was unclear whether the “closed” notice referred to the area around the sign or the trail beyond it.
“There is no clear prohibition there,” Bushnell said. “This is not conspicuous signage.”
After Sunseri was cited for using a prohibited trail, Hageman and Biggs say, he “took responsibility for his actions, expressed regret, and volunteered to help officially close the alternate path, which receives regular foot traffic.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed criminal charges anyway.
The government’s subsequent plea-deal offers were onerous given the nature of Sunseri’s violation. In a May 19 email, Frank Lands, deputy director for operations at the NPS, described one of those proposals, which entailed a fine combined with a five-year ban from Grand Teton National Park, as an obvious “over criminalization based on the gravity of the offense.” The case is pending.

Law schools lost their damn minds a long time ago, apparently… churning out ijits!
Obviously! LOL
The whole world is full of ijits now AmaraGrace. I have a story to tell but it’s off-topic so I’ll save it for the open thread.
I wanna hear your story Dixie… the deliberate dumbing down evidence-in-results is relevant to the solution.
Open thread then…
Representatives Harriet Hageman and Andy Biggs are supporting climber Senseri in resolving this overstep of common sense.
Unapproved trail. Yep America has lost it’s tiny collective mind.
Think how much money and resources are wasted on frivolous lawsuits like this. It’s mind boggling at times.
Was it overstep? Yes. However, I can see this from another standpoint:
There is a safety concern. Mr. Sunseri is obviously experienced and not irresponsible, but there are going to be people who most definitely are not — this tends to end tragically and expensively, with search and rescue that costs the taxpayers’ money. This is why certain trails wind up prohibited because “stupid people”.
There is also a manpower concern with regards to security. Guess who else tends to blaze trails in national/state parks? Poachers and drug manufacturers (and increasingly terrorists). Keeping an eye on that tends to wind up costing yet again taxpayers’ money, and there typically isn’t enough manpower to do so. I guess this could also be considered a safety concern.
That’s not even going into the minor issues with littering and having to do clean up; and yes, that happens…a lot. Cleaning up litter and graffiti takes up a large chunk of park resources. It’s so bad that it’s almost impossible to keep on top of it and the damage it causes.
So, in retrospect, if a person takes a prohibited trail or decides to trail blaze and gets caught, receiving a fine, at least consider why that might be the case.
Moral of the story: evil or irresponsible people tend to be the reason why we all can’t have nice things.
Source: was a park ranger at one time; the problems have only gotten worse.
Six months of one’s lifetime to be spent confined in prison for walking a trail. Makes perfect sense.
I just said it was an overstep.
I gotcha, Jane. Thank you for the cogent advice. When we visited The Grand Canyon, people were doing scarey things, e.g. posing for pictures in dangerous places
Six months incarceration for walking in nature. That belongs to Americans. For the punishment of something that may or may not happen at some point in the future.
We know future, because the young man clearly did not smuggle drugs or poach or leave a trail of destruction in the wake of… his walk in nature… currently. Or else he would be incarcerated for smuggling drugs poaching or destroying nature.
Ok.. 🤔
Read what I said.
“Why was a mountain climber prosecuted for climbing a mountain?” Because it was there.
Biden holdovers, obviously
Many crimes consists of elements that make up an offense and they include the terms “knowingly and willfully”
It is hard to prove that. This gentlemen’s presented neither, nor were the warning signs clear.
He’s innocent
Two small signs neither of which clearly said using the trail was prohibited! Bondi has some house cleaning in Wyoming!
Has there been an update on how Dutchman is faring? 🙏 continuing for he and Mrs Dutchman and all treepers.
I have been wondering about our Dutchman also Brislurker.
I hope he is improving.
I saw him post several days ago but have heard nothing since but it wasn’t on the presidential thread. It was obvious for him to post is difficult because although his post made sense, several words were jumbled. Maybe it’s just too hard for him right now and Mrs. Dutchman may not be aware of how we worry about Dutch.

Given the political and judicial developments over the past few weeks, I am thoroughly and deeply convinced that we got it all wrong.
Some, some perhaps even somewhat well intended, thought that the reopening of the Clapper/Comey/Brennan/Clinton/Obama treason matter was done in a rush to distract from the suddenly pressing (((Epstein))) imperative.
I am now convinced things were different.
The Deep State actors, including their moles and “influencers” [with]in the “conservative” movement, found out through early leaks that the Tulsi declassifications and other totally legitimate, if somewhat tardy, moves of the DOJ were imminent.
That’s when the Epstein diversion came into place. Making action look like reaction . . . yes, smart and evil diversion.
No doubt that a few of those suddenly apoplectic over (((“The List”))) were honest and they just herd-reacted according to how much independent thought could pass through their dignified brains.
However. . . think of how incredibly well organized, rather than grassroots, this (((E))) hysteria became. The same words, the same “Trump self-immolated”, “I supported Trump BUT”, the same comments on YouTube videos on ANY subject – “show us the list” and variations of the same…
If you believe this is all spontaneous and happenstance, well… think.
Like our Sundance likes to say, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
MAGA all the way!
There is no way that President Trump would have won the 2024 election without the populace learning that the MSM does not give them news.
The E files bombardment is classic MSM. I am thankful the Murdoch family jumped the shark. I hope it bites them in their behinds in a huge financial way. If President Trump brings down Faux and WSJ, bless him.
More and more people are relying on alternate media including podcasts.
I think it is wonderful that the Trump Administration has welcomed all the new voices into the WH pressers. It’s cementing their viability and giving them the added access that will increase their followers.
I keep spreading the word to friends and acquaintances, if you’re not reading and viewing many alternate news sources, you aren’t getting the news. I tell them to learn how to filter disparate information. Keep track of who is getting it right. Begin to see when you are being manipulated.
Cronkite is dead, Comedy Central is not news.
If they want to be informed then learn how to be. If they choose to be fed pap by the MSM, they deserve what they get and are fools. I’m going down fighting.
Andrew McCarthy a stain on the great MacCarthy name in Ireland, is a disinformation agent helping the coup traitors on Faux now. I never forgave them for firing Trish Regan a real Trump Republican patriot. I had noted years ago their cancelling of pat Buchanan a articulate patriot against the 7 nations in 5 years plans and their earlier illegal wars against the Serbs in support of WW2 Nazis who ran Holocaust death camps in Croatia
And Cronkite helped cover up the JFK killing and promote the Warren Commission whitewash.

The House Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to rename the Kennedy Center Opera House after first lady Melania Trump, approving an amendment by Rep. Mike Simpson (R‑ID) as part of the fiscal year 2026 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill.
…
“First Lady Melania Trump serves as the Honorary Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Kennedy Center,” stated Simpson, who chairs the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee. “Naming a theater after her is an excellent way to recognize her appreciation for the arts.”
…
Under Trump’s leadership, the Kennedy Center has canceled drag events targeting children, eliminated its controversial “Social Impact” department, fired former president Deborah Rutter, and embraced Christian programming, including a sold-out screening of Angel Studios’ The King of Kings. “This is family-friendly programming that we will be doing more of in the future,” said Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell. “The American people want to see more shows that reflect their values.”
Democrats and progressive celebrities have responded with outrage.
…
When asked by a journalist about actors boycotting the Les Misérables performance during his visit to the Kennedy Center, Trump responded: “I couldn’t care less. All I do is run the country well.”
{ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/22/kennedy-center-opera-house-one-step-closer-melania-trump-opera-house/ }

That’s how you handle outrage with the constantly outraged. ignore them.

The hostile atmosphere against the law abiding American citizens in the DC federal court system has reached a level that is unsustainable for the 2025 Executive Branch to perform its Constitutional law & order responsibilities.
Witness the the most recent actions by the “New Jersey District Judges Use Arcane Rule to Block U.S Attorney Alina Habba.” Without a doubt, the DC Federal Court System has become a “clear and present danger” to our Constitutional Republic.
To honor his oath and to fulfill his Constitutional law and order duties, President Trump, staying within the bounds of the Executive Branch, will “cutout” selective “prosecution cases”, such as represented by DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s coup charges, and transfer them to Pete over in the Executive Branch’s military judicial system.
The American people deserve and voted for the rejuvenation of the Constitutional law-and-order in the Executive Branch, replacing the 4 year destructive actions by the communist biden administration.
It is time to, Constitutionally, roll over / and or past the democrat obstructionists in the DC court system.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
All true.
Any great legal minds which could offer strategies of bypassing this odious, immoral, illegal, and blatant SUPERBIAS of the corrupt judgectivists in DC specifically but also on the East Coast more generally [NY, NJ etc.]?
Do I seem to remember Newt Gingrich talking, during the 2012 campaign against Moron Romney, about strategies of brazenly defunding certain courts, to the extent that they cannot function anymore?
ROUGH PLAY is needed with these scruple-less monsters. Time is of the essence.
Just say no and back up the no with US Marshals. Yank the obstructionists off the bench and jail them.
Revoke D.C.’s Home Rule Charter, then defund the D.C. court and fire the judges. Bulldoze the jail that tortured the J-6 prisoners. Make the site into a park and plant trees there.

Everyday in the evening i walk on my treadmill for 30 to 70 mins at 30 min or so intervals. This is my time to read, talk and listen to the Lord. I put my cell on the dash so I listen and read the BIBLE.
Currently doing “The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, Classic Version”, along with Daily Guided Verse & Prayer, with some other devotionals.
Been really amazed how either the Devotion or Verses for the Yearly Plan, &/or Daily Verse &/or one of the Plans speaks to me or sometimes actually yells at me about current issues or personal issues.
As to God sort of yelling at me–I have stage one Cancer in one lymph node in the right side of the neck, has not spread or been found anyplace else. The Lord kept impressing on me to just leave it alone, no surgery, no radiation, or chemo. Tuned out I only needed surgery. For the week between the consults & seeing my ENT I keep fighting with the Lord about it. “Come on Lord it’s just a simple surgery like a tonsillectomy”, every day as I walked & talked with the Lord on my treadmill.. Day of ENT visit doctor tells me about the surgery. Surgery. Surgery would be removal of all lymph nodes on right side of neck, 3 days in hospital and probably take 6 weeks to recover. To myself I go DAMN—but another voice said “That’s Why”. Do 100% Truly believe it was the Lord saying to me “That’s Why”.
Hey you’d think at 76, I’d know better then to try and fight with the Lord. I just have to trust Him fully and remember that if the Lord has brought me this far. The Lord is not going to let me down. Believe the same goes for Americans & ALL Americans that TRUST in the Lord.
Philippians 4:6 NIV “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

We’ve learned that of the $100 million raised at the celebrity “Fire Aid” concert, none actually went to LA fire victims. Instead the money went to nonprofits, many that have nothing to do with fire relief.
I’ve asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation.
Cont. (And document linked)….
Some went to a non profit where Newscums wife is a board member
Can we just waterboard both of them!?
Sadly from what I have read & seen, this is normal for majority if not all of the celebrity concerts for events like the fire.
Seems that usually only about 30% more or LESS goes to actually helping the victims.

This is the problem that some of the main players will now have, their defence will necessarily stir up details that were previously obscured by a more powerful MSM suppression op and an ideologically sympathetic SM sphere. It’s not 2017 anymore, it’s 2025 and the former President has been accused of sedition by a sitting President whose cabinet members work for him not often against, this time around. The hide under the blanket and hope the monster goes away strategy will not work this time around, as the DS enforcers and protectors find themselves under attack this time.
The bottom line is that Team Trump spent four years working on a simultaneous and mutually supportive reconstruction and demolition job, painstakingly, and probably painfully, going through all their previous missteps and mistakes, whilst the DS team never thought they’d be held accountable and are now frantically running the playbook TT dissected.
No, Mark Warner does not get a Special Counsel for Epstein. A Special Counsel would be a cover up operation for the Cabal. The documents Tulsi Gabbard is releasing would be collected as evidence and then disappear forever.

Wonder if Hunter’s verbal diarrhe@ has cleared…
No it is fatal disease for Hunter, the Biden family and the Democrats. Incurable except for death.
Probably not.
Hunter is fishing around for a podcast audience.
He actually believes he can draw in listeners for the podcast he’s planning.
That whole shock-jock persona, money laundering set up that he thinks will actually work.

They don’t want Joe to testify on the pardons is my guess. If he is dying of cancer, he can’t be responsible to testify? They didn’t ask Hunter how Joe was doing in the interview the other day except to bring up the ambien issue.
The Bidens honestly believe that they could’ve kept up the farce through another election. They are still in “what could’ve been” land. I guess they have managed to live there for Joe’s fifty years of “public service”. spit.

Why is no one protesting the geo-engineering of our weather?
https://geoengineeringwatch.org/
Side notes…In the last two months, there has been a serious increase of toll road and interstate big rig wrecks, almost a daily occurrence…serious enough to shut down entrance and exit ramps…some shutdowns last many hours for clean ups and sadly in some cases, fatality investigations…and all those cars on the roads, idling…or slow moving, trying to get to an alternate route, spewing emissions…
I think that truck driver issue out of Texas, has migrated to the northern end of tornado alley…
Mr. Homan, can you hear us?
There definitely has to be regulation on that. I’ve been calling for it here for a while.
How in the world have we allowed geo-engineering to go on with no regulation?
I am totally protesting geo-engineering. Every time I see the planes making their crisscrossed clouds in the sky I flip them off.
Hey, it’s a protest.
My elected Crap Weasels don’t listen, and it’s really bad form to hope the planes fall out of the sky..
Are illegals staying off the road or have they self deported?
I think it is a combination of both.
Killing whales, killing birds, killing bats, killing trees (they cut them down to put up the damn things in many places, erosion and watershed health anyone?) — those things are a disgusting menace.
Many of the same harmful outcomes with massive industrial solar facilities.
And since they NEVER biodegrade harming the soil, forever, after their use has ended.
“Tiny” in the too-small blue shirt holding the sign saying in part “Food and Water Action”. Looks like he’s seen plenty of food action, devouring boxes of twinkies on a weekly basis.
Looks like he’s getting ready to tell momma holding the white sign it’s time to go home so she can make him dinner. And then dessert. And then a snack. And a late dinner, while in momma’s basement talking to his on-line girlfriend who he believes is a model but is ten times larger than him. And then he dreams about what momma will be making him for breakfast…and after breakfast it will be time to attend yet another protest for five whole minutes, before it’s time to go home for lunch.
Tiny sure builds up an appetite attending all these “protests”…
I should have taken pictures of the lunatics protesting Kavanaugh in Hendersonville NC a few years ago. You wouldn’t believe it.

David Gelbaum’s $100 million dollar bribe to the Sierra Club to not be against immigration, diverted millions of votes away from any candidates like Pat Buchanan in the 90’s and PDJT now, who are against the immigration invasion/Democrat Voter drives which per their own environmental science is the #1 factor for environmental degradation, wildlife decline,pollution, and CO2!
If you hadn’t gathered, its personal to me. With respect StanH, cheers friend.
Oh I agree, exposure blows their cover.
I’m speaking as a general rule, this kind of stuff (AstroTurf) is bought and paid for by deep state with the enemy MSM. Andrew Breitbart was awesome at this, he’d wade into a gaggle of these fools, invariably they had no idea what they were protesting. They were just standing there holding a sign for $’s per hour.
Great Stuff, thanks Colkitto keep up the good work.

Ty friend Stan. Ironically Ian Smith noted this back during his visit to the UN NYC back in 79 or 80. He wrote in his bio “the Great Betrayal” the same people with different signs different days. I saw this with the large signs calling Paul Manafort a traitor so the sign would be in the picture and reinforcing in people’s minds the fake (President) Trump Russia collusion coup
They need to go live in a cave somewhere.
I try to sleep, but sleep won’t come….
Like a kid who is getting to go to the fair tomorrow for the first time.
This is a win for President Trump, America, and the environment as removal of illegal invaders/insurgents carbon footprints will reduce pollution and change the weather for the better (sarc)!

The Judicial Tyrants in the California of the East Coast, NJ blocked Alina Habba for NJ US Attorney and in fact not only in NJ but other places as well they are engaging in a conspiracy against our President to enact the will of the people who overwhelmingly voted for PDJT and support his America First agenda. The enemy constantly prattle on about “Democracy” in their Operation Mockingbird run fake news media, (we are really supposed to be a Constitutional Republic) while subverting “Democracy”. New Jersey has a Liberal-Marxist infestation that has spread out from those Newark NJ 1967 orchestrated Race Riots that Jack Cashill so well exposed in his book “Untenable”.

Was Samantha Power so eager to get Srebrenica declared a “genocide” to cover for the Clinton Admin & Nazi NATO’s war crimes in the Balkans? (Eventually it was passed)
“Russia infuriated Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the United Nations, by vetoing a Security Council resolution on Srebrenica because it included the word “genocide.” Four Security Council members, Angola, China, Nigeria and Venezuela, abstained. Speaking to the Voice of America, Samantha Power then called all those who disagree with the Western consensus “genocide deniers.”
Remember the illegal wars against the Orthodox Christian Serbs was really about destruction of Orthodox Christianity in general and Orthodox Christian Russia in particular.

Samantha Powers’ adams apple is probably bigger than his pen*s, which is probably smaller than his man hands.
Only Obama doesn’t wear orange, maybe PDJT will just exile him instead of sending him to prison.
Take his passport and deport him to Kenya where he won’t be able to enjoy his mansions.
Genocide for thee…
Just guessing that Sam is also a Hamas fan.
I agree with James Woods, but the GOPe /Bush Republicans had just about killed the party except President Donald J Trump saved it. We are truly blessed to have Donald J Trump as our President. I watched him last nite and thought “your never going to see anyone like him again”. Support him and the America First agenda, but also enjoy it. He’s Cincinnatus.
We are at war, PDJT & his America First Admin are fighting an insurgency. ICE is Fireforce!
They have to do all they can to claw back monies going to sanctuary cities and states.
The federal tax monies spent on this is utterly insane.
Charge each locale that facilitated protecting these illegals.
For every cent of money the government has to spend to find, apprehend, house and deport each of them, take that off the federal dollars sent to that city/state or both. Same with prosecuting and providing any kind of care.
Change the laws so that American citizens can sue their city or state for crimes committed against American citizens by illegals in sanctuary cities and states.
If they had to pay restitution to families that lost loved ones to an illegal they may reconsider importing all of them. Or restitution to someone that was raped by an illegal.
We’ve got to hit them where it hurts and that is in their wallets.
How about, if a judge orders the release of an illegal alien and that illegal alien commits a felony type of crime within 90 days of his release, that judge is deemed a willing accomplice and is charged accordingly.
I like it a lot! And Soros DA’s that refuse to prosecute illegals for their crimes could also be willing accomplices.
Excellent idea, Rix Six.

An effort is under way among some Pentagon officials to denounce Pete Hegseth as unfit to serve as Defense Secretary, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Since May, drafts of a letter have been circulating among high and mid-level military brass and civilian workers to ‘Let the American public know this guy has no clue what he’s doing,’ one of them told DailyMail.com.
Sean Parnell, the department’s chief spokesman, came to his boss’ defense characterizing the letter as ‘palace intrigue’ or ‘sensationalized mainstream media gossip’ that he said Americans ‘don’t care about.’
‘They care about action,’ reads his statement.

Since May, drafts of a letter have been circulating among high and mid-level military brass and civilian workers to ‘Let the American public know this guy has no clue what he’s doing,’ one of them told DailyMail.com.
**Three Pentagon officials — two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department — spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Aside from losing their jobs, they fear prosecution by Donald Trump‘s administration, and being replaced by people with less experience who would be less apt to challenge some of Hegseth’s decisions.
Each said the letter calling for his ouster won’t be made public until next week at the earliest.
They described its contents in the meantime – with complaints ranging from politicized decision-making to department-wide dysfunction, low morale, and a climate of paranoia driven by what they describe as Hegseth’s obsession with rooting out dissent.
They said Hegseth’s preoccupation with sussing out leakers and critics in the department has caused bureaucratic logjams, brought some basic, but essential military business to a standstill and triggered a sense of paranoia throughout the building.
One of the officials said that some Pentagon personnel feel pressured to attend the Christian prayer services Hegseth has arranged during work hours, even though they’re supposed to be optional.

***Obama holdovers no doubt
Pete Hegseth is THEE most qualified Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall during WW2.
In a few short months he has rebuilt the military into a fighting machine rather than a rainbow theater and increased recruitment of young MEN to a 15-Year High.
https://thedefensepost.com/2025/02/07/us-army-recruitment-surges/
Of course the media is trying to downplay that as the recruitment started to increase in August 2024 while Biden was still in office, but remember that was after Joe’s disastrous debate (Jun 28, 2024) and it look very much like Trump was going to win the election.
The a** kissers don’t know how to work with a real warrior who earned his place.
He’s also working to get those discharged for disobeying an unlawful order (Cv Vx) reinstated with back pay.
There hasn’t been anything reported lately on that yet it’s definitely underway.
I also like the way he reamed the presstitutes a new a*hole for denigrating Operation Midnight Hammer with their stupid presumptive insinuations & derrogatory questions.
I pray Gratitude his acumen & fortitude is increasing exponentially.
Good, let them all sign it and self identify. Otherwise it’s complete BS. Either way, they aren’t winning this battle.
Could we consider this another subversive act to derail President Trump’s ability to lead the military as Commander in Chief? Isn’t it up to President Trump to decide if Hegseth is doing a good job? . Hegseth may be following orders from his CoC, President Trump.
By this action against President Trump’s cabinet, are they are suborning his constitutional ability to lead this country at a time of delicate negotiations about Ukraine and other things?
When you consider the NJ judges removed Alinia Hubba to replace her with their own choice of US Attorney, clearly a choice that belongs to the current President, and Hegseth’s removal being engineered by Pentagon officials, one might be moved to believe that the conspiracy to take away President Trumps’s ability to lead is ongoing and has a wide net. Just saying.
Perhaps there needs to be a specific task force to investigate all of these activities to ensure that there is not a potential wide spread conspiracy between all branches of the Government.
Just asking important questions. I am no legal expert.
The Arab Muslims and the Chinese atheist infiltrators don’t know what to do about the Chrisian prayer service and are afraid they will be outed.
Is my grin showing through the computer?
Let them out themselves, then give them the boot, the combat steel-toed boot!
Who is this guy Hegseth, who doesn’t approve of leakers? Hmmph.
Fire them. Immediately.
Good, he’s smoking out the hold-overs, routing out the stay behinds and disrupting their cosy DEI setup. Obviously the Signal set-up failed, so plan B is in put into operation by the distinctly B team, or is that the B.O. team?
It looks like some undesirables are about to be fired. Cowards are assigned to the Pentagon and yet they are too cowardly to identify themselves.
***Obama holdovers no doubt
NEVER, ever forget that this legacy cadre of senior officers comprise Obama’s (& Biden’s) “keepers,” having purged our flag ranks of non-progs during that administration. It’s one of the worst-kept secrets of the Obama/Biden era. Indeed, the other ‘Uncle Joe’ set the standard for it.

The answer was and is easy: YES!
DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped a political nuke—declassified documents proving Obama orchestrated a covert coup attempt against a duly elected president in 2016. Her next move? Referring him to the DOJ for prosecution.
Then—Ghislaine Maxwell broke her silence from prison, claiming she can recite the Epstein client list by heart… and declaring that she wants to testify before Congress.
According to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein kept meticulous records—so-called “insurance files”—packed with photos, videos, and documents designed to guarantee his protection. His words were chilling: with this kind of leverage, he’d never face justice.
Among the most explosive pieces in that vault? Footage of Barack Obama with underage boys on Epstein Island.

Why would I not be surprised if that is true???
Larry Sinclair tried to warn us but Beau Biden made sure to lawfare him until it was too late.
blackmailers usually keep their incriminating files for continued blackmailing.
That Epstein didn’t is more than unbelievable. I still think President Trump has more cards than he is showing, but will show them at just the right time.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that VSGPOTUS has the list. He already told us he has them all.
This is why the criminal complaints are flying at high speed, leverage.

Kari Lake Bombshell: VOA managers met with Chinese to discuss more favorable coverage for Beijing
The revelation follows reporting that VOA hired multiple Chinese nationals with ties to state media controlled by the Communist Party.
Lake, the president’s senior adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, said the meetings with communist China officials both in Washington and abroad were discovered as part of an investigation that exposed undue foreign influence on the VOA’s operations.
“We found out in our investigations over the months that I’ve been here, that the CCP, operating out of the embassy in Washington, D.C. … were meeting regularly with VOA management to tell them how they should be covering China,” Lake said Tuesday night in a wide-ranging interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show.
Lake said the coverage was skewed to portray the country in a positive light, and that at least one VOA official with the Mandarin language division had pledged his support for the CCP at one of the meetings.”

In Bid To Thwart Texas Republicans, Eric Holder Promotes Gerrymandering Effort He’s Long Claimed To Oppose
Holder, the head of the left’s premier redistricting group, has lauded ‘fair’ Dem-drawn maps while decrying GOP ‘gerrymanders’
… “They’re openly talking about violating their state constitutions,” Kincaid said of Democratic calls to gerrymander in California, New York, and New Jersey. “And no one on the left seems to care, really, or push back on it at all. It’s just, ‘Oh, you know, they’re fighting back.’ No, they’re not just fighting back, they’re talking about open lawlessness. It shows how desperate they are right now.”
The NDRC and Holder did not respond to requests for comment. The NDRC did, however, remove its repost of Martin’s video after the Washington Free Beacon contacted the group.
Proponents of the blue-state redistricting efforts—including Jeffries, who recently told CNN that “some of the best and brightest lawyers in the country are looking at every single aspect of what’s possible”—present them as a tit-for-tat political move, a way to “fight fire with fire.” The reality is more complicated, given the stark differences between the redistricting process in Texas and the processes in California, New York, and New Jersey.” …

Here’s Armstrong Economics’s explanation of why ground beef prices are so high and going higher.
FTA: Some news outlets blame tariffs on Brazil that have not yet gone into effect, but Brazil only imports 5-7% of the overall supply. The United States chiefly supplies itself with ground beef, with domestic production accounting for 75-80% of the overall supply. The problem is that the US has had six consecutive years of herd contraction, and the current supply is unable to meet demand. As of January 2025, cattle inventory reached 86.7 million head, 1% down YoY, and the smallest inventory since 1951.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/inflation/ground-beef-prices-on-the-rise/
They have been working on destroying our Beef industry. I came across some incredible info about theirs plans to destroy it and hopefully I can bring it to the treehouse soon
If they can’t kill us with the jab they’ll just starve us out. I expect PT & AG secy Brookes will have to tackle this issue just like they did the egg issue.
I get short reels on FB from TDF Honest Farming…has a dairy herd/farm in OR, seems like a gentle soul, (as is Iowa Dairy Farmer)…TDF posted a ‘short’ about the beef labeled USA…has to now be 100% beef…from America…bred in America, born in America, pastured in America, sold in America etc…I tried to find links outside of FB but could not find anything to substantiate, did a shortcut this morning…
A partial Brave AI: The new rule, finalized in March 2024, requires that “Product of U.S.A.” food labels only be used on products derived from animals that were born, raised, and slaughtered within the United States. This is a shift from previous regulations that allowed products derived from animals born, raised, and slaughtered outside the U.S. to be labeled “Product of U.S.A.” as long as they were packaged within the country.
I think it starts in 2026.
My own dad was the son of a dairy herd farmer in NZ, before WW2, so I am partial to the dairy farmers…as far as beef…I could not do that…any animal I make eye contact with…could not go to slaughter…
I know how you feel my friend.
They’ve done a bang-up job decimating the chickens. Haven’t heard about aggressive moves on pigs, but perhaps the big CCP-owned farms here are resisting.

MicroStrategy’s Bold Bet on Bitcoin
MicroStrategy began buying bitcoin in August 2020. As of July 18, 2025, it holds about 601,550 bitcoins, valued at over $70 billion at current prices. The company paid an average of $71,268 per coin, totaling $42.87 billion in investment.
With bitcoin trading near $120,000, MicroStrategy’s bitcoin position has gained approximately 68%.
Its stock has done even better. Since January 2025, shares are up 46%, beating bitcoin’s 26% gain over the same period. Since launching its bitcoin strategy in 2020, MicroStrategy stock has surged over 3,000%.

The Stablecoin Trap: The Backdoor to Total Financial Control

https://brownstone.org/articles/the-stablecoin-trap-the-backdoor-to-total-financial-control/
Now, as President Trump’s Executive Order 14178 ostensibly “bans” CBDCs, his administration is quietly advancing stablecoin legislation that would hand digital currency control to the same banking cartel that owns the Federal Reserve. The STABLE Act and GENIUS Act don’t protect financial privacy—they enshrine financial surveillance into law, requiring strict KYC tracking on every transaction.
This isn’t defeating digital tyranny—it’s rebranding it.

I am amused by articles which say Bitcoin mania isn’t like tulip mania, but in the most important respects it is EXACTLY like the tulip mania. So, I asked Grok about that.
Q: Please explain how bitcoin mania is similar to the tulip mania.
Grok 3 AI:
Bitcoin mania and tulip mania share striking similarities as speculative bubbles driven by human psychology, market dynamics, and economic conditions. Below, I’ll break down the key parallels, drawing on historical context and economic principles, while keeping the explanation concise yet comprehensive.
1. Speculative Frenzy and Irrational Exuberance
– Tulip Mania (1634–1637, Dutch Republic): During the Dutch Golden Age, tulip bulbs became a status symbol and speculative asset. Prices for rare bulbs skyrocketed, with some bulbs reportedly selling for the price of a house. Speculators, including those with little financial expertise, piled in, driven by the belief that prices would keep rising.
– Bitcoin Mania (2017, 2021, and ongoing hype cycles): Bitcoin’s price surges, particularly in 2017 (reaching ~$20,000) and 2021 (peaking at ~$69,000), drew in retail investors, celebrities, and institutions. FOMO (fear of missing out) fueled mass participation, with many buying Bitcoin without understanding its technology or risks, expecting endless gains.
– Similarity: Both saw irrational exuberance, where prices detached from intrinsic value (tulips as flowers, Bitcoin as a decentralized currency). Herd mentality and greed drove demand, not utility.
2. Novelty and Perceived Scarcity
– Tulip Mania: Tulips, especially rare varieties with unique patterns (caused by a virus), were novel in Europe, introduced from the Ottoman Empire. Their scarcity, combined with long growing periods, created a perception of exclusivity, inflating prices.
– Bitcoin Mania: Bitcoin’s fixed supply (21 million coins) and decentralized blockchain technology were novel in the financial world. Its scarcity, enforced by code and mining difficulty, mirrors the limited supply of rare tulips, driving speculative interest.
– Similarity: Both assets were seen as groundbreaking, with artificial or real scarcity amplifying their allure. This perception of “new wealth” attracted speculators.
3. Market Accessibility and Speculative Tools
– Tulip Mania: The Dutch market introduced futures contracts for tulip bulbs, allowing speculators to buy bulbs they didn’t intend to own physically. This financial innovation lowered barriers to entry, enabling broader participation and leverage, which inflated the bubble.
– Bitcoin Mania: Crypto exchanges, margin trading, and derivatives (e.g., Bitcoin futures on platforms like CME) made it easy for retail investors to speculate with leverage. Apps like Coinbase and Binance democratized access, drawing in inexperienced investors.
– Similarity: Both bubbles were fueled by financial innovations that made speculation accessible, amplifying price swings through leverage and mass participation.
4. Media and Social Amplification
– Tulip Mania: Word-of-mouth and early print media spread tales of wealth from tulip trading, encouraging more people to join the frenzy. Taverns and social gatherings became hubs for speculative talk.
– Bitcoin Mania: Social media platforms, especially X, amplified Bitcoin hype through influencers, memes, and celebrity endorsements (e.g., Elon Musk’s tweets in 2021). Viral content and “HODL” culture created a feedback loop of enthusiasm.
– Similarity: Both relied on social amplification to sustain momentum, with narratives of quick riches spreading rapidly through the communication channels of their time.
5. Boom and Bust Dynamics
– Tulip Mania: By February 1637, tulip prices collapsed when buyers stopped showing up at auctions, leading to a rapid market crash. Many lost fortunes, and the Dutch economy faced a brief shock, though the broader impact is debated.
– Bitcoin Mania: Bitcoin has seen multiple crashes (e.g., 2018 drop to ~$3,000, 2022 decline to ~$16,000). While it recovers over time, each cycle leaves some investors with significant losses, especially those buying at peaks.
– Similarity: Both exhibit classic bubble patterns: rapid price increases, a peak driven by speculation, and a crash when confidence wanes. Bitcoin’s volatility mirrors tulip price swings, though its recovery potential differs due to its digital nature and growing adoption.
6. Cultural and Psychological Drivers
– Tulip Mania: Tulips became a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing wealth and sophistication. The desire to “keep up” with elites drove speculation, even among the middle and lower classes.
– Bitcoin Mania: Bitcoin is often framed as a rebellion against fiat currency and centralized finance, appealing to distrust in institutions. Its cultural cachet as “digital gold” or a hedge against inflation fuels speculative fervor.
– Similarity: Both tapped into cultural narratives, exploiting psychological desires for status, wealth, or ideological alignment, pushing prices beyond rational valuation.
Bitcoin operates in a largely unregulated environment, with varying degrees of regulation across different countries. While some nations have implemented specific laws, many aspects of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies remain ambiguous and subject to ongoing debate among regulators.
Conclusion
Bitcoin mania resembles tulip mania in its speculative frenzy, driven by scarcity, novelty, accessibility, and social hype, leading to volatile boom-and-bust cycles. Both reflect timeless human tendencies to chase quick wealth during periods of innovation and optimism. However, Bitcoin’s technological utility and global reach suggest it may outlast the ephemeral tulip bubble, though its speculative nature remains a cautionary parallel.
To that I will add that bitcoin’s anonymity is a myth if governments put in the effort required, Stablecoin potentially making tracking effortless and that if any cryptocurrency ever posed a real threat to our and the world’s, as I have pointed out in detail, rigged SCAM financial and monetary system, since governments everywhere hold coercive controls over businesses, that cryptocurrency would simply be ruled to be illegal tender and it would go back to serving the purpose it currently does – illegal activities to include, as Mike Benz has said, payoffs by intel agencies. I have never seen that OBVIOUS and fatal weakness described anywhere.

When my youngest was 4 or so, she was fascinated by these type of sunsets. She would point at it and say “Look mommy, pink sky!”
To this day, I say that quietly to myself any time I see one.

I mentioned the pretending yesterday reaching new heights via NBC Nightly News: their lead story was laughable.
The MOST IMPORTANT EVENT yesterday was NOT the increasing pile of evidence showing that MAObama attempted and led a coup d’etat against the real president, President TRUMP!
No, no!
The MOST IMPORTANT EVENT yesterday was… (drum roll)…
…the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the drugged-out rock-‘n’-roll screamer of England.
Beyond catagelastic*!
*(from Ancient Greek for “extremely ridiculous”)
Later on in the “newscast” they returned to the lead story of the day before: Malcolm Jamal Warner drowns in Puerto Rico.
Pitiful.
In Ozzy’s defense, his death is a pretty big news event.
“The Butler Probabilities”.
It is time to stop pretending and hold people accountable. A pretty good article on the timeline and the usual suspects.
“And finally, it should be noted that Kimberly Cheatle, who was director of the Secret Service before, during, and after the Butler fiasco, was appointed to that post by none other than Joe Biden, who, along with his son and brother, was at serious risk of criminal investigation and prosecution if Trump became president.
It is also of note that, according to the HSGAC report, Cheatle “falsely testified to Congress that no USSS asset requests were denied for the Butler rally.”
Now, why would she swear to that?
So let’s sum up. Under the leadership of a director appointed by Joe Biden, Secret Service Headquarters withheld intelligence about a specific threat against Trump’s life, denied requested resources for his protection, and allowed a poorly-planned, under-resourced, incompetent, and disorganized protection plan to be implemented at the Butler rally. And this behavior was characteristic of the leadership’s handling of Trump’s security throughout the campaign.”
