‘Can Men Get Pregnant?’ OB/GYN Refuses To Answer Sen. Josh Hawley

How did she do on the MCAT?
Picture.
“After being questioned by State Security this week and released with a warning letter, young Cuban Selena Lambert Ortega continues to experience political police repression. Her offense? Launching a social media poll comparing political preferences between Marco Rubio and Miguel Díaz-Canel for the Cuban presidency.”

I am disgusted by the amount of fraud with taxpayer funds and even more exasperated realizing it’ll never be stopped. It’s too easy and obviously politicians benefit from it. I think the intent of the people who want to destroy this country is to get us to throw up our hands and resign ourselves that we can’t do anything about it.
What we should be doing is working to remove Uniparty politicians via primary this next cycle. And educate people to never vote for an incumbent. If they won’t enact term limits the voters must take responsibility to be the term limit.
I am sorry to say this Execution in Iran took place after all:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-15467285/navid-afkari-iran-wrestler-execution-Donald-Trump.html
After promising that help was on the way…. President Trump HAS to follow through. Every President, so far, has let these people down.
I am shocked that he believed what he was told about no executions 🙁
The ME consortium handling the Gaza reconstruction needs to spearhead liberating Iran.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, etc. and so on… and once again you parrot the same talking points.
We don’t know that he really did.
^^^^^^^ EXACTLY! ^^^^^^^
Nor, what is in progress.
New moon 0% Sun18Jan
We really don’t know anything.
There is a serious blackout even with media venues that provide at least some regular coverage.
Some of the accounts I follow haven’t posted in as much as 11 hours ago.
It looks like media manipulation, even the pizza graphs are all blue which makes no sense.
It’s late at night 3-4 am over there right now.
Last night there were still planes flying out.
Did anyone see Mimsy Graham this morning?
He looked rough as a cob, as if he had been drinking all night and not slept at all.
His voice sounded shaky and hoarse.
Not sure what to make of it.
Only thing to do is wait.
It’s not the time for anyone to go bananas and set their hair on fire, that’s for sure.
Like JScott says, Sunday is the dark moon and the closer to Sunday the darker the sky gets.
Hm.

Here’s an interesting comparison by Ms. Lei of the islamic republic to the ccp and soviet models and why Xi should be nervous. And why Taiwan needs to pay attention.
I like the way she ends the video.
Aw dang it….I forgot to edit the link so it wouldn’t post the whole graphic hazagaza.
Tousi has the latest in his video “US Military on Standby.” He seems to think Israel asked for more time to prepare in case Iran strikes back against them and Tousi thinks the Arab countries are asking President Trump to hold off because it could set off a wider M.E. war. Touch said their real issue is they don’t want the oil competition from a free Iran. From the way he talks, there seems to be stress between the Persians (Iran) and the Arabs.
Tousi also commented that the military may have cautioned about the number of resources needed.
I still believe President Trump is committed to a free Iran because it is better for everyone. But the above comments may have merit. So President Trump needs to move carefully.
Concerning the hanging, President Trump never said he believed them when they said no hangings. He said that was what he was told. Especially with the time differences, it’s not clear when it happened and what President Trump knows about it and when (assuming he does know now).
Tousi also reported that Iran said they would hang people on Friday (tomorrow).
Meanwhile the ship is still headed to the M.E. and President Trump has had more time to talk to people and plan. At his heart, he is a traditional and methodical man.
The final issue raised is that Secretary Bessent is tracking the money they are taking out of Iran.

Thank you. I looked but didn’t see anything new that helps add clarity. One thing is I listened to Mrs. lei and from that I understand China has definite interests in Iran for a variety of reasons. It sounds plausible they might also be pressuring President Trump.
It seems unnecessary/useless for Graham to go to Israel except of course if he is just trying in some way to be relevant.
Unrelated to this is someone reposted something from Sarah Palin about Greenland where she said President Trump is right and she had warned the same thing about Greenland years ago. She sounded enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I can’t quit thinking a perfect job for her would be to lead the Greenland initiative after the initial what shall we call it — conversion? acquisition?. It might be something she is willing to do. One thing for sure is she has experience with the general area. 😃
Good point.
When I’m in the thick of things my mind more often than not blanks out. So while this seems like good advice, it’s hard to do. But President Trump is a genius at this.
That article was about a hanging in 2020……..
“Iranian wrestler Navid Afkari was executed in 2020 for protesting against his country’s rulers
He was hanged at age 27 despite efforts from Donald Trump and Dana White to save him”
Thank you for posting.
You’re welcome. I wish peeps would read more than “headlines” before posting a link to a story about what happened 6 years ago and trying to make out like it just happened.
Just about to post to c4a that the Daily Mail is a DS rag, completely unreliable.

Gaza Phase Two officially launched:
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115902017280271792
I read about significant push back by these countries last night.
Makes sense to me that they should handle the Iran issue.
They have weapons, forces, and happen to be nearby.
I know I am going to take some heat for these remarks but I have to post them. Call me every name under the sun but I do not care.
According to Tousi:
Apparently, the US warfighters and Air Force were in the air, along with a few others, well on their way to Iran. Suddenly they turned around and went back to their bases. Excuse me!
Now we are told that President Trump has changed strategy. President Trump and Secretary Bessent is now going to go after the money instead, which could take months. Meanwhile people are still dying on the streets wondering when the help will come. They can’t stop now because it would mean the IIRC will create a river of blood with these people.
IMO:
If this is true President Trump, you should not post to Truth Social, asking the Iranian people to stay in the streets to protest and die, that help is on the way, and not turn up. Stringing these people along is abhorrent. The people who put their lives on the line are dying by the thousands, fighting on, thinking we are on the way to help. They can’t stop now because they will be brutalized and crushed.
I thought it hurt you if people die by the thousands. You should never have encouraged them with that commitment if you don’t follow through.
I am beyond sad….
“the US warfighters and Air Force were in the air”
Not true.
This guy is an expert at watching military aircraft movements. What Tousi is claiming happened,
never happened….
https://x.com/steffanwatkins
I’ll remind you of propaganda and the fog of war, there is A TON of each.
Come on, now.
Try to remember that all of our media is manipulated and our news is sanitized, filtered, and out of date.
Some of what is put out on mainstream venues is as much as two or three days old.
Tousi is an Intelligence Asset and he’s going to say what he is told to say.
Try also to remember that we have our own psy-op going on over here in America, you know-the one where the DS wants us to lose faith in President Trump and turn on him.
Hold it together; you’re going to give yourself a stroke or something and we wouldn’t want that.

As is Canada Goldie, and China Lei.
I expect anyone speaking publicly is an asset of at least one or more intelligence services.
Goldie drove me to stop listening to her, she was barely tolerable to start with.
She’s 40 years old, born in Iran, got over to Canada when she was one year old, raised Canadian, got elected to the Canadian do-nothing congress, someone said she got disbarred but that could be BS.
A Canadian speaking for 90 million Iranians = Clown World.
So, anyway, after she got the interview on Piers Morgan her self-centered narcissism really came out.
How’d she get hooked up with Tousi?
Was it yesterday and the day before, she sat there and replayed her interview a million times and low rated Chink Unger and I’m sitting at my desk thinking ‘those poor people all over the world especially Iranians, counting on her for news and updates or at least words of hope.’
Ugh, that one.
Those two Duran guys turned out to be a gross disappointment, too.
That lawyer with the strong limey accent, I gave up on a couple years ago and Alex the Greek, seems like he did like Tim Pool-pretended to be independent long enough to suck people in and then turned like a snake.
One of these good days President Trump is going to outlaw all that propaganda.
What in the hell is he waiting for?
0.o
I know what you mean about Goldi. I stopped watching her after a few minutes.
The only reason I ever posted links to her show or Tousi’s is because they were the ONLY live coverage I could find anywhere.
This past week there were two times when Tousi played a video calling it something when the video was of something else that he’d played a day or two before.
Not sure if he does all his production by himself or his staff is incompetent.
Maybe, he thought nobody would notice.
Or maybe he’s suffering from lack of sleep and it was all done in error.
Disappointing any way you slice it.
0.o
Nothing negates the fact that we must do our own thinking.
Still, I appreciate you mentioning Tousi because as you say we have no news sources (except what President Trump says and he of course is “speaking” to many audiences).
At this time I’m willing to give Tousi the benefit of the doubt. He loves Iran and each specific thing happening affects him greatly (also father is there).
I know justice is slow, but Gall dang. Someone please quit pussyfooting around. I’m growing very tired of our USELESS GOVERNMENT.
It’s always been useless, the Founder’s knew it would be- which is why it was supposed to be small and pretty toothless.
But here we are.
Don’t let them distract you from this…HUGE!

Somali in US….
I wasn’t aware also big problem in Maine too!
Tucker said what many Treepers have known for some time!
7 countries in 5 years plan.
🤷♀️ He just said it a lot better….😆
Our corrupt politicians and crazy liberals……
💥💥Invade the World – Then Import the World .💥💥
I would add…
Destabilize a Country- Then Import the People.
He is on fire 🔥 in this podcast, he emphasizes how it
happens, then the impact it has on our Country—
our National identity, the economic cost…and how it
effects everything- example hospitals.
The clips he shows of Omar and others…enough that made
me say some words 🤬 I would rather not repeat! 🤐🤐
Crazy Liberals who want to save the World- kicking fellow
Americans 🇺🇸to the curb. 🤬🤐
Tucker Carlson….Rumble
Tucker Carlson on the Somali Invasion and the Self-Loathing Ideology Destroying America
I am all for closing all immigration to my country 🇺🇸
Deport all illegals, dual citizenship people 🤢
refugee status… 🤐 🤬 Visa applications, anchor babies…
Total stop until all our invaders are kicked out.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 America First 🇺🇸🇺🇸
It would be oh so unfortunate for Big Business if immigration was shut down for how ever long it took to boot all the illegals. Imagine the crocodile tears if it took twenty years to complete.
An Update From Victor Davis Hanson…
Lol, I was just passing this post around to all the other sites I go to and I forgot that it was here that I got and and then posted it again at the top.
I didn’t even know all this was going on with VDH.
What a time for him to be in recovery!
He must be very anxious to get writing I’d imagine.
Can’t imagine what he is going through right now….
God speed and God bless to a wonderful warrior!
Wow! I hope this means that Tina will soon be released and this nightmare ends.
Praying that this will happen.
This gives me great hope Tina Peters will be home soon.
I pray she can recover from years long abuse suffered at the hands of cartel masquerading under the guise of legitimate law.
Hope this also means she can sue!!!
Yay!!!!
MEH…if you want to see real police action…you tube the Chicago Police Dept at the 68 Democratic Convention busting heads with night sticks…most of the CPD were ex military and didn’t mess around…
Media excoriated them and Mayor Daley for sending them to bust heads at the “peaceful” war protest….their tactics are still in play today…
I thought the Left was against Kings … Apparently the Latin Kings gang started in Chicago and then spread to 34 states. Wonder if he crossed state lines or is just a “Minneapolis Man”
God bless our brave independent journalists!

A few months ago (Nov/25), leadership of the Latin Kings authorized a “shoot on sight” directive toward federal agents, mainly Border Patrol Agents, involved in Chicago’s “Operation Midway Blitz.”

That does it! I’m tired of living on Social Security I’m opening up a daycare and applying for Federal funds!!!
Who owns that building… who is raking in the rent money the pirates are stealing???

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney is in China now.
He talks about how the progress Canada has made with China ‘sets us up well for the New World Order’.
He really said it out loud!!
You can see Scott Moe, to the right of Carney, flinching and going bug eyed at the mention of New World Order.
Moe is the Premier of Saskatchewan looking for an agricultural in. He wasn’t expecting that proclamation to be sure.
HA!!!
Who is @opticnrvs?
Keep an eye on any proposed legislation to ban inside stock training. I’ll bet the legislation won;t address options trading (where there is a ton of money to be made with non-public info).

Definitely worth looking that organization up.
Those affiliated are…..😳
Much chatter on X about it…..😎😎👻
It wasn’t just a rifle that was stolen from the federal officers cars last night – they also got a stack of arrest warrants and other official documentation.
Other information stolen:
Homan on what is going on in Minnesota:
It’s coming…
Insurrection and sedition – possibility of Fried and TipToe going to jail.
What Federal jury in what Democrat city is going to convict them? Asking for a friend!
*IF* this is real, Oh My!!
Remains returned in 12 small boxes.
Oh dearie dear, Mark Carney…
Travelled alllllll the way to China and was snubbed by Xi, no greeting sent, ignored completely
Tsk Tsk…
Might want to rethink your position with President Trump.
(I hear crow isn’t too tasty.)
This is a very interesting examination of the close similarities between the present situation in Iran and the very real potential for the same kind of thing to take place in communist china.
These days Mr. Xi has many reasons to be nervous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/wRGbpBMYfCw
Agreed Ma, China has big problems.
I occasionally listen to some talk radio show that comes on in the middle of the night, I don’t even know who it is.
But they have Gordon Chang on and some other supposed experts on China, yes, they are not in a good place and XI isn’t either actually.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we saw this sort of an uprising in China, it’s likely not if, but when.
Our independent journalists deserve awards for their brave reporting.
Americans need to create some award to replace the Pulitzer (which lost its credibility long ago) and perhaps an accompanying monetary award. Hopefully someone smarter and wealthier than me will make this happen in my lifetime.
We also need to do a better job recognizing our thought leaders (e.g., Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, Clarence Thomas, etc.). Especially while they are alive. Every black kid in America should understand the contributions of Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas (rather than just Chyna bootlicker LeBron James).
Still lmao. Webelos requirements.

It’s his face that makes every costume so funny.
I think he still has a bit for room for a Webelo badge or two 😂
I just love these.
I wonder what his elective adventure was.
No doubt getting close to his Arrow of Light by now.
He’s starting to look like a North Korean general.
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!

{ JUST IN: Maria Corina Machado Gives Her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump (VIDEO) }
“Machado:
I presented the President of the United States the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize, and I told him this. Listen to this– 200 years ago, General Lafayette gave Simon Bolivar a medal with George Washington’s face on it. Bolivar, since then, kept that medal for the rest of his life. Actually, when you see his portraits, you can see the medal there.
And it was given by General Lafayette as a sign of the brotherhood between the United States, people of United States, and the people of Venezuela in their fight for freedom against tyranny. And 200 years in history, the people of Bolivar are giving back to the heir of Washington, a medal, in this case a medal of a Nobel Peace Prize, and a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.”
Did people really believe a bombing campaign in Iran would bring about regime change? External forces bombing countries almost never bring about regime change. Clinton bomber Serbia for 77 days and the Serbs on relented when we were coming on the ground. Nobody is going to Tehran on the ground, especially President Trump.
