Current Polymarket odds of Don Lemon facing criminal charges as a result of yesterday’s church storming are 22% yes 78% NO. The yes odds are down 23% since the question opened this morning.

at some point here soon, Trump is gonna publicly explode on his FBI and DOJ. They are embarrassing HIM. He doesn’t get to sit in the peanut gallery and shoot spitballs. They work for him and he hired their leaders. Do something or admit it’s a situation beyond fixing so the rest of us can prepare to protect ourselves and our loved ones. These animals will eventually be coming after us. No question about that.
In case folks haven’t noticed, the terrorist left in america has just shifted into top-gear. They aren’t one bit afraid of Blonde, Patel, Dhillion, or anyone else. They have assurances they’ll be fine.
So of it may be a risk-reward calculation. What are the odds of getting a convictions in Western Mogadishu or DC for a gay black man and the reported plus size BLM lady? One “good” thing about Renee Good was she was white. Most clear-thinking black folks I know are keenly ware that illegals take jobs they used to do and compete for resources (food, housing, medical care etc.). Perhaps Don Lemon was trying to regain the attention (he lost but still craves) while simultaneously providing black martyrs and pulling in the BLM sympathizers. Remember “he who shall not be named” is conducting “juror training” sessions to protect the marginalized.

“They aren’t one bit afraid of Blondie, Patel, Dhillion, or anyone else. They have assurances they’ll be fine.”
ANTIFA, BLM and Lawfare have total control of the federal court system so much so that they can manipulate the “RANDOM” assignment of judges. Once you understand that it’s the very same Black women who work in the district court clerks offices that manufacture fake ballots in the county elections offices!
There’s no way 99% of these cases in federal court are RANDOMLY assigned to Obama-Biden judges without manipulation?
Got to look at (and expose) clerk of the court.
Tar and Feathering….?
Hold the trial at the Fergus Falls District U.S. Court of Minnesota
At some point here, JinWis is gonna get the boot.
Poly want a cracker?
Right now most would like to see some of the other globalist traders prosecuted, do believe those odds are probably right.
Even though Trump is only one i trust as POTUS, i am getting tired of his arrest threats
This…
This is only one reason we are so angry…
Well, I am at least.
who is THEY?
it is well past time to name names. otherwise this is just outrage porn.
Lets start with anyone in CONgress who has a job making less then 200g that now is a multi millionaire.
We can start with Pelosi or Graham, even Mitch, or how about Ilhan Omar or AOC?
The list is long so there are plenty of places to begin.
I agree we have been robbed blind for decades. These people are suppose to work for us and that is our tax money, nt their private bank account that gets laundered through illegal NGOs etc.
And that’s just for starters…
Thank you.
The Government is they. USAID and Ned is part of USAID. Everything Dodge investigated is being added by into the budget by Republicans and Democrats.
Boom.
We all know who”THEY”are, dear Muley.
Or we thought we did.
It seems the “THEYs” have increased in exponential numbers.
“THEYs” who Biden and Mayorkas et al invited in without let or hindrance, promising them the largess from all our pockets (without informing us).
But worse than the money stolen are the thousands of lives which shadowy “THEYs” are guilty of taking, leaving bereft and grieving families, and communities destroyed.
“THEY” are responsible for stealing our peace, a precious commodity we haven’t had for years.
Outrage porn?
Not at all, my friend…
Outrage and unrequited fury on the other hand?
You can’t imagine…
All of congress who make a salary that turns into multi- millions of dollars after a few terms in office, USAID, democrats who gave our money to illegals, anyone who gets grants for ghost projects that steal billions from us–do you not know who “they” are yet?
Who is “they” and why are you mad over this??
This feels more like a life choices / better career thing.
Does it?
(I am tasting my words, and choosing which ones I spit out.)
Are you not just a little peeved that for decades we are by law required to hand over our hard work, no matter what job we are engaged in, through taxes, fines with penalties and interest if we do not follow the law in a timely fashion, while Congress and various agencies have overspent this nation into penury?
See the Pentagon which has failed its annual audit for 8-9 years, billions missing, year after year.
Trillions in national debt?
Various people and entities thieving through lies and fraud and corruption, including those who wrote the laws and exempt themselves from many of them?
While the citizen milch cow attempts to live within his or her means?
Life can blindside one, even with “better life/career choices”.
If it has not done that to you, count yourself fortunate.
Think of what this country could be if we didn’t let illegals in and there was accountability in govt.
We are trillions in debt based on theft. Very little of our tax money has been used to benefit the people who paid it.
We would have the best medicine that works, vets that are taken care of, homeless supported, elderly who paid their fair share , which much was stolen, given the chance to live well with dignity in their elder years instead of paying their last dollar to be treated in an inferior facility with people that don’t care.
And that is just the start. This has all been stolen from us. We deserved better, we deserved more based on what we put in. I am sure not asking for a handout, just fairness and support of Americans that need it, not the rest of the world!
Moral rectitude.
Somewhere along the line it has been lost…or abandoned.
I suspect when Almighty God was removed as the cornerstone of America.
It would take some doing to convince me any differently.
Only trough feeders don’t comprehend.
YOU gottabe cluckin kidding me.
How to engage conversationally with a Leftist…
Why the f… are you a Democrat? You mean like that?
Unlimited openings.
I think after a year now, it’s pretty clear that the left can flood the zone and just overwhelm Trump’s people in the FBI and DOJ. The left knows 95% of the people in both agencies support what they are doing and won’t do anything to help Team Trump. No idea how you get around this either. This happened over decades of retirements and new hiring. You don’t forklift organizations that large in a decade.
In order for Obama to do what he did, the pieces at the FBI and DOJ had to already have been in-place and they were. Clinton and that idiot Bush did most of the heavy lifting. I don’t think people on the right appreciate how thoroughly full of the devil those Bushes are. From the old man on down. They are lucifer.
This is why I support moving agencies out of DC, and using personnel from different states to investigate and prosecute these people.
… so the full court press is on. Among non-woke discussion areas — you know the vintage and new ones I’m sure — there’s hardly a thread that doesn’t have people chiming in on how nothing’s happening, voting in 2024 was a waste, or any number of variations all of which add up to doom, doom, give up, don’t bother, can’t win, stay home, etc.
I’m not discouraged other than that the signal/noise ratio is awful. Not like everyone wasn’t warned that the demoralization BS was happening and escalating…
Agree … everyday I see things that I voted for happening. There are also bright spots the black-pillers and Blue Sky folks don’t want to talk about. For example, I am thrilled that Elon Musk is giving $10mm to Nate Morris, who hopefully will replace China Mitch (instead of one of his hand picked lackies). Love the updates from Burchett and courage of Eli Crane. I also love we’re not complaining about the Harris-Walz administration.
Complaining is easy … wish folks would invest ten minutes a day putting pressure on those who claim to represent us (especially the ones in-cycle and ones with higher office aspirations). Sometimes I wonder if these “MAGA black-pillers) aren’t folks from the other side just trying to get us to sit out the mid-terms. Ain’t happening here. I will vote day one of early voting and then try to rally as many like minded folks to the polls as possible.
>Sometimes I wonder if these “MAGA black-pillers) aren’t folks from the other side just trying to get us to sit out the mid-terms.
Don’t wonder; it’s a known thing. If I can dig up the recent SD posts on the subject I’ll link.

Can civil asset forfeiture be applied to cars that block federal agents?
As many here have said, civil asset forfeiture shouldn’t be a thing, but as long as it is, it should be applied here; you utilize your car in the commission of a felony, you lose it.
I have no idea how civil forfeiture is legal in the USA. It basically turns cops into pirates. State and County patrols nationwide use this tactic to steal assets from citizens so they can fund department “goodies”. I have more respect for real pirates than fake pirates that hide behind police badges.
There are so many stories about the horrid things these cops are able to do to people with completely fabricated “evidence”. I remember reading a story about a migrant family of farm workers. They went from state to state working for farmers helping them get their crops in. They were paid with cash or checks (that quickly were cashed) and the money accumulated. They were driving through TN or GA and the cops rolled them and took all of their earnings. It was six months of work for 3 or 4 family members (around 25K). It’s nauseating.
Civil forfeiture might be the most un-american thing in our nation. The cops that do this should be ashamed of themselves, but they tell everyone they are “heroes”. They are cowards.
ICE’s Operation Metro Surge Arrests Hundreds in Minneapolis Amid Protests
Last updated: 20 minutes ago
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced over 10,000 nationwide arrests of individuals accused of crimes like murder and rape, with 3,000 in Minneapolis in recent weeks as part of Operation Metro Surge—one of the largest efforts in U.S. history. Local leaders including Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey face accusations of ignoring 1,360 ICE detainer requests, while Minnesota officials dispute some federal claims. Tensions escalated after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during a January 15 incident, leading to protests, business occupations, and reports of U.S. citizens like Nasra Ahmed and ChongLy Scott Thao briefly detained during raids.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

This civil forfeiture deal is real. Try poaching a deer and see what you lose n the process? Everything that was used in the illeagal taking of a game species….. So why is it so difficult for the feds to start doing something that local game wardens have done for years… Again Sundance has penned it before. None of this is doable without Law Enforcements approval that means you feds..
I think this letter is fake because he normally doesn’t sign with his initials.
there is SO MUCH stuff out there that is 100% fake and this will just get worse with more and more AI. Before people share anything, they need to double or quadruple check it for authenticity. It’s not easy to do because AI is everywhere.
One AI thingy uses another AI thingy to verify “it’s legit”….LOL The smarter we get, the dumber we get. AI is loserville. Musk is wrong about AI.
It is also undated…and no ink on paper…the initials you point out as a signature…are also just typed…not signed.
I mentioned this earlier: yes, “President DJT” is almost certainly proof that it is fake.
President Putin makes more sense and has more knowledge about ‘stuff’ that has happened in the U.S. than most of the politicians in the U.S.

They are going to try and silence her permanently IMO. Please pray for Tina.
I would never suggest people don’t pray, but someone do something for this lady already. God ain’t gonna sweep down from heaven and take her out of jail.
Rapists and murders are running around our country like wild hogs and her legal team can’t get her out? WTF?
God can “sweep down from [Heaven] and take her out of jail,” but for whatever reason, He has not chosen to do so, yet.
Asking Him to comfort Tina, grant her His peace that is without understanding in horrific circumstances, and yes, asking the Lord of all creation to sweep down and make the locks fall off Tina’s jail call is something all of His children should do — for their sister in chains.
I am praying for her release.
I’m praying that more people, especially people in CO, feel shame for what their government is doing and that they act to do the right thing.

Podcast:
Sounds like the Co. judges think (6 months to a year late) that the prior case against Peters was way, way over charged with time in jail…but…Tina is still in jail (with cancer).
Supposedly, recently, a 20 yr old prison mate assaulted T Peters.
The 20 yr. old goes back to normal cell. Tina gets placed in solitary confinement.

She consulted with bernie sanders prior to running and ol’ bernie explained to her the fantastic way to turn campaigning for office (and losing) into a money-printing machine. She learned from the best.
You can bet she got her dough and so did all the people in her big circle. They never intended to win.

Why do Billionaires Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want the United States to buy Greenland for them?
The interest of high-profile figures like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and other tech billionaires in the United States acquiring Greenland is tied to a mix of economic, technological, and ideological goals.
While the idea has been around for decades, it has gained significant traction recently due to the convergence of the AI boom, the need for critical minerals, and the rise of “techno-libertarian” political movements.
1. Rare Earth Minerals for the AI Boom
Greenland is often called a “periodic table of elements” because it contains some of the world’s largest untapped deposits of rare earth minerals (like neodymium and praseodymium), as well as zinc, copper, and gold.
Strategic Control: Currently, China dominates the global supply chain for these minerals. Tech leaders view securing Greenland’s resources as essential for manufacturing everything from Tesla electric vehicles and SpaceX rockets to the high-end chips required for AI.
Tech Investments: Startups like KoBold Metals (backed by Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos) are already using AI algorithms to map these deposits under Greenland’s ice.
2. The “Freedom City” and “Network State” Concepts. A major driver for Peter Thiel and his associates is the desire to build a “Freedom City” or a “Network State.”
Experimental Governance: Figures like Thiel have long expressed interest in “seasteading” or creating autonomous zones free from traditional government regulation. A U.S.-controlled Greenland could potentially host a largely deregulated, tech-driven municipality.
Praxis: Thiel has backed Praxis, a company aiming to build a new city-state. They have reportedly eyed Greenland as a potential location for a community built on cryptocurrency, minimal corporate oversight, and cutting-edge tech like micro-nuclear reactors.
3. Cooling for AI Data Centers. As AI models grow, the energy and cooling requirements for data centers have skyrocketed.
Natural Infrastructure: Greenland’s frigid climate provides a “natural radiator” for massive server farms, significantly reducing the energy costs associated with cooling AI hardware.
Clean Energy: The island also has massive potential for hydroelectric and geothermal power, which could provide the “green” energy needed to run these energy-intensive operations.
4. A Proving Ground for Mars- For Elon Musk specifically, Greenland represents an ideal terrestrial testing ground for extraterrestrial colonization.

This is a “when did you stop beating your wife” kind of post. AKA a post based on an unproven assumption.
Historically Greenland has been of strategic interest. You might read up on this.
Another avenue you might explore in the modern day is Sarah Palin’s warnings about our interests and Greenland.
Do research and you’ll find dozens of articles. The mining corps are already formed. Bezos, Gates, Musk etc. It’s all worked out already. We’ve had dozens of military bases on Greenland with over 10,000 American soldiers. Denmark and the US have a defense treaty since 1951 allowing us unlimited military access to Greenland so it’s not about China or Russian invasion which is beyond absurd.
Of course people who want to make money are jumping on a new opportunity. They’d be fools not too. That is different than your assertion, which is that the acquistiion is being done for their bidding.
You think like a leftist. In your view only the government can make, control, and distribute money. Too bad for you that idea has been tried in several different ways and it doesn’t work.
What works is letting creative human beings create and organizing government to create a fair playing field where everyone can participate and benefit (jobs and oppotrunities).
The post showing President Putin talking about the United States and Greenland, above on this page, shows he knows more about America’s history with Greenland — and how we have wanted to acquire it since the 1800s — than Sunriver Patriot.
Lol 👍
Mining anything in Greenland is a near fantasy right now: the ice is one to two miles high.
Greenland’s position in the Arctic is the important thing right now, along with Communist Chinese presently tinkering in the area: they will fill the vacuum, if The United States does not, and nothing good will happen, if the Communist Chinese ensconce themselves in Greenland!
we could mine the ice and sent it to all the dopes that are worried the earf is getting warmer……

“During the campaign, Sherrill’s “Day One” message on energy costs was far more specific — and far more dramatic. She promised to declare a state of emergency on utility and energy costs immediately upon taking office and use emergency powers to freeze electricity and utility rate hikes, often described as lasting about a year while longer-term reforms were worked out.”
https://nj1015.com/mike-sherrill-energy-promises/
fooled again….
“The Facebook post, however, strikes a different tone. There’s no mention of a state of emergency. No explicit promise of a rate freeze. Instead, the focus shifts to regional cooperation, capping capacity prices, and pushing the cost of new power generation onto data centers that are driving up demand.”

Carney’s China deal: What it says, what it doesn’t, what it could mean and who will get hurt…
Excerpt:
As for Trump, he said it was fine that Carney signed a deal with China.
Now, Trump says it is fine, but does anyone think that just hours after the deal was announced that he was briefed up on the details. His chief trade negotiator Jamieson Greer was briefed by Canada’s Ambassador Kirsten Hillman and Greer’s response wasn’t a positive one.
On a whole host of issues, I’m getting the sense that the Americans are watching our behaviour and deciding we aren’t worth the effort. In my view, Trump is more likely to walk away from CUSMA at this point than renew it.

EU clings to hope it can defuse Trump at Davos
Excerpt:
European governments are holding out hope they can lower the temperature and get Trump to abandon his vow to slap punitive tariffs on European countries that have opposed the sale of Greenland to the U.S. POLITICO spoke to 11 diplomats and two EU officials, all of whom said they want to avoid retaliation and are betting that a diplomatic solution to the crisis can still be found….
….All the diplomats and EU officials POLITICO spoke with cautioned that it was too early to threaten to deploy the EU’s Anti-Coercion Instrument, or “trade bazooka,” an idea being championed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Wielding the instrument — an all-purpose tool meant to deter other countries from using trade tactics to extort concessions in other areas — still faces significant opposition.
The leader of the EU’s biggest political force, the European People’s Party group, said at an internal meeting on Monday that the option should be off the table and that the EU must be tough with the Americans in private but deescalate in public, according to two people in the room.
