The anti-Russia, pro-Ukraine fanaticism infects their msm and therefore the public at large. Worst of all it is a consistent vein running through the best of their alternative media. Farage is one of few exemptions. Perhaps Tommy Robinson can provide some intellectual leadership.
If you look at how many disasters are unfolding over there, they are handing their nation over to the Muslim hoardes from cripes sake- shutting down their economy with all these stupid scams green energy baloney, they are throwing people in jail for thoughts, I mean the place is insane.
It’s no wonder they need a distraction, and for the scale of how bad things are there, they then need a HUGE distraction, this is this war and this Russia threat game they play with their people.
The Europeans in control over there are just disgusting evil scumbags.
I wish Donald Trump would just disconnect us from everything they got going on over there, I want nothing to do with these people.
I’m done.
We never wanted any of this!!
It’s so weird to see the British mind so insanely focused on defeating Russia due to historical, ancient animosities and jealousies while the Islamic takeover of Britain is almost fully complete. Living in the past while the future destruction is fully underway;
makes sense that President Trump is fully focused on making sure the United States can retain itself while the world goes insane.

NEW: First lady Melania Trump is putting Hunter Biden on $1 billion notice over what she claims are “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about her, demanding he immediately remove and retract the content and issue an apology or face legal action, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the letter that Alejandro Brito, attorney serving as litigation counsel for the first lady, sent to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Aug. 6.
Brito demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” which were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in early August.

[…]Brito demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” which were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in early August.
[…]”Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer,” Brito wrote.
[…]”These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,” Brito wrote. ”
Indeed, the video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide.”

Go get him, Girl!!!!
I’m so glad to see this; I’ve seen a number of the TDS sufferers post this vile garbage on Facebook. It makes me sick.
He was given a deadline of 8-7. So far crickets…
The problem here is that Hunter Biden has nothing at all, he claimed not long ago he was broke.
And people like this have nothing to lose.
You can’t expect Hunter to do the right thing at all, he could tell her to go pound sand because you can’t get blood out of a stone.
I get where she is coming from, and I’m glad to see her fight back, but if there is nothing there to take?
Does she want a stack of his paintings in lieu of payment?
France has just wiped her Gallic feet on doormat Britain.
They’ve triumphed in court against the opening of oil platforms in the North Sea.
Because opening them doesn’t align with Britain’s economically crippling Net Zero commitments. This will cost 200 jobs and £150 million in lost tax revenue. The Chancellor is preparing to raise income and inheritance taxes….again…to fill Starmer’s black hole in the nation’s finances.
Had enough yet, Brits?
All hail, Gaia!!!

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a class of drugs that are typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and other psychological conditions.
Your Spouse Started Antidepressants and Became a Stranger ⋆ Brownstone Institute:
“I don’t know who this person is anymore,” James told me, his voice cracking as he described his wife of fifteen years. “She started Zoloft eight months ago for some mild anxiety about work. Now she’s rewritten our entire history together. According to her new narrative, I’ve been emotionally abusive for years. She’s filed for divorce, moved in with some guy she met at a yoga retreat, and told our kids that daddy was never really there for them.”
He paused, searching for words. “The strangest part? She seems completely unbothered by destroying our family. It’s like she’s watching it happen from outside her own body.”
Welcome to the SSRI marriage apocalypse: a phenomenon so widespread that entire online communities have formed to support its casualties. Spouses gathering in digital refugee camps, comparing notes about partners who transformed into unrecognizable strangers after starting antidepressants. The stories are eerily similar: personality changes, moral compass spinning wildly, empathy evaporating, sexual connection obliterated, and a strange, detached willingness to torch everything they once held sacred.
But here’s what makes my blood boil: The mental health establishment celebrates these relationship demolitions as therapeutic breakthroughs. “The medication lifted their mood enough to finally leave that toxic relationship!” they’ll proclaim, completely ignoring that the “toxicity” might be a drug-induced fabrication. This is my fundamental criticism of the therapy industry: therapists attach to their client’s inner world as if it’s absolute fact, unquestionable truth.
Even without SSRIs, people alter reality and create stories to cope with pain. But add psychiatric drugs to the mix, and you’ve got modern therapists providing unfettered validation to chemically distorted narratives, rarely approaching cases with empirical scrutiny. They jump right on the victim mindset, and in many cases, actively create it. “Yes, you were trapped in an abusive marriage!” they’ll affirm to someone whose brain chemistry has been so altered they couldn’t recognize genuine love if it slapped them in the face.
The Spell-Binding Effect
Dr. Peter Breggin, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former consultant to the National Institute of Mental Health, who’s spent decades exposing the dark underbelly of his own profession, called it “medication spellbinding:” the insidious way psychiatric drugs prevent users from recognizing their own drug-induced dysfunction. (I’m actually traveling to Dr. Breggin’s home next week to interview him, and you can bet your ass I’ll be drilling deep into this spellbinding phenomenon.) It’s not just that SSRIs change you; they rob you of the ability to perceive that you’ve been changed. You become a stranger to yourself while believing you’re finally seeing clearly.
“Lisa” sat across from me six months after stopping Lexapro, tears streaming down her face. “I feel like I’m waking up from a nightmare I created. I had an affair. I told my husband of twenty years that I’d never really loved him. I was prepared to walk away from my children without a second thought. Now I look back and think, ‘Who was that person?’ But at the time, it all made perfect sense. I felt nothing. No guilt, no remorse, no connection to my old life. It was like living in emotional Novocain.”
This is your brain on SSRIs: chemically castrated, not just sexually but emotionally, morally, spiritually. The same serotonergic manipulation that’s supposed to lift your mood also severs the invisible threads connecting you to everything that matters. But you won’t realize it’s happening because the drug disables your ability to recognize its own effects.
The psychiatric establishment has convinced millions that flooding the brain with serotonin is as benign as taking vitamin C. They’ve never bothered to mention that serotonin doesn’t just regulate mood; it shapes moral reasoning, empathy, pair bonding, sexual response, and the entire constellation of neurochemical processes that make us capable of authentic human connection.
This is why I have profound concerns about prescribing these drugs during critical developmental periods. When you chemically alter serotonin in a developing adolescent brain, you’re not just tweaking mood; you’re potentially rewiring their capacity for intimacy, identity formation, and even sexual orientation. The explosion of gender dysphoria cases perfectly paralleling the mass prescribing of SSRIs to teenagers? That’s not a coincidence worth ignoring. That’s a red flag the size of Texas that nobody wants to acknowledge because it threatens both Big Pharma profits and progressive orthodoxy.
When “Treatment” Becomes Home-Wrecking
Here’s what the hundreds of stories flooding my inbox and online communities reveal: SSRIs create a spectrum of personality destruction, and we’re essentially playing Russian roulette with human consciousness. The response varies wildly because we’re experimenting with pharmaceutical compounds that fundamentally alter human nature itself.
For some, there’s an almost immediate activation syndrome (conveniently buried in the clinical trial data). Within days or weeks, they experience impulsivity that would make a teenager blush. Reckless spending, sexual promiscuity, acting without any consideration of consequences. One woman described it perfectly: “It was like someone disconnected the brake pedal in my brain. I was all accelerator, no caution.” Affairs happen in this state. Life-destroying decisions get made. Families implode while the person feels euphoric about the destruction. …”
More Big Pharma Evil.
The Tribunals can’t come quick enough for these mon$ters.
SSRI’s have been around a very long time and you will find opinions that they are life saving for many people and destructive for others . It will never end and that topic doesn’t really belong on the Presidential forum anyway .
Thank you Gipper. That was information probably needed by many.
Including me, Dixie. I had no idea.
We did know about the psych med Wind-Up Killers the Deep State keeps releasing, however.
“The Tribunals
can’twill come quicklyenoughfor these mon$ters.”If they can’t eliminate us, they settle for making us miserable.
I was speaking from the viewpoint of one who suffered deep depression once I lost everything dear to me. Doctors (several) tried to get me started on anti-depressants. I refused and followed my own inclinations instead.
The depression itself was bad enough but it would have become worse had I chosen the medical way as your comment explains. Meditation worked for me but I had to throw myself into it competely….with determination.
It’s also useful in thinking about some of the wacky things people do that we might ascribe to political views. It’s a good reminder of what drugs, even prescribed drugs, can do to people, and especially those with screwy views to start with.
Just watched the Nixon film on Warroom.films. Things have not changed. A 49 State win for Nixon was just too much for the DS to let stand.
I think I have had enough. I have always enjoyed politics but it has turned into the most evil, diabolical process that turns my stomach. I actually watched the Congressional panel during the time of the Watergate debacle.
People like Barr and Schiff allegedly working behind the scenes to disgrace President Trump is a replay of portions of the setup of Nixon. The secret meetings of the opposition and President Trump’s supposed loyal Cabinet and the potential corruption of the judiciary are echoes of the past. And, it looks like they will get away with it again.
No wonder Dan Bongino will never see things the same way again. I will have to find a way to divert myself from politics.
It has been a joy being part of this wonderful crew of Treepsters and Sundance is phenomenal. I may come back at a much, much later time. I need time to find peace.
Be Blessed.
Some people shouldn’t read The Treehouse right before bed. Late at night I watch a distracting movie or re-watch a good comedy movie or cartoons.
Good luck
True; actually just finished watching My Cousin Vinny, still makes us laugh. Agree, find a way to unwind, humor always shakes off the mud of doom and gloom before turning in.
Giving up doesn’t help stop or change it. I admire the people who keep trying for years to expose and stop the corruption.
Right now there are many positive things happening ! Seems a strange time to retreat. I never thought comnry and shifty and bidet and even obuma would be facing the exposure of their crimes and lies!
And The exposure of the media collusion and lies and crimes!
People like Sundance! Thank you Sundance and team
Some folks can only take so much. There are times I take a break fora day or two.

I cannot imagine “offering up Alaska” to Russia is going to fly with anyone.
Welcome to the Treehouse Wiliam! 😀
Well William, Russia sold it to the U.S. in the first place so I guess we’ll see. There is quite a history there. I learned this here recently when someone posted how close Alaska actually is to Russia. It was a very interesting story. Sorry I didn’t save the link or I would post it for you.
Alaska has a lot of resources-I don’t see how it would be good to sell it
Very interesting!
Also plane parts:

Don’t worry. President Trump will only engage in deals that serve our interests.
A good rule of thumb is to assume sources like The Telegraph will phrase things to suit their views. Wait to see what President Trump says.
By the way, even The Telegraph didn’t say he was “”offering up Alaska.” They weren’t clear about it, but the implication was perhaps “selling” something. But again, we need to wait to hear from President Trump.
Another possibility is development in the Arctic, which could be very interesting.
I hope it’s not true!
Imagine giving Russia access to minerals in the US but putting tariffs on Canada. Absolutely outrageous!
Sounds like the Usual and Expected Agit-Prop Pushback by the Evil Empire.

The craziest part of the DC crime data story is the fact that the 2020 spike never disappeared – they simply started undercharging and stopped reporting.
