Tina Peters assaulted in prison. Please President Trump, send the team who captured Maduro to Colorado and free Tina before it is too late.
https://www.the-sun.com/news/15808942/tina-peters-trump-ally-prison-fight/
thats not gonna happen, but the admin could play VERY hardball with CO’s finances, remittances, etc. this needs to start YESTERDAY.
The Admin has been playing hardball with Polis but he wants attention because he thinks he can be the next President of the US by defying President Trump today.
he’s in a crowded field with newsom, shapiro, and others. IMO the marxists know they have to put forward a slick-looking straight white male next in order to plausibly be selected next, so polis has little chance.
but i disagree that they are going hardball yet. it could be ramped up tenfold. CO would buckle a lot easier than their role model CA, if they had to spend millions for every penny they get from the fed daddy. i think they would determine pretty quickly that their point had already been made against this poor lady, if it started hurting.
Following orders from #FakeInstalled Governor Polis, the guards sent in a prisoner to attack her. When Tina pushed the goon away, they charged her with Felony Assault and threw her in Solitary.
President Trump has put Gov. Polis on notice not to murder Tina, which is what Polis and the CIA really want, as she is exposing their worldwide program of Dominion CheatWare election theft.
“… Last night, Tina Peters was assaulted at approximately 9PM MT in La Vista Correctional Facility.
Tina was inside a maintenance closet to fill up a water unit when an inmate approached her in the closet and began striking her in anger.
Tina raised her hands and pushed the inmate away. Per Tina, the camera showed her pushing the inmate away from her out of the closet.
She was subsequently handcuffed, shackled, and brought to solitary.
Tina was told she is being charged with Felony Assault for defending herself against an unprovoked attack.
She will be locked down completely for 24-72 hours and held in IDO (the hole) for an unknown period of time.
As far as Tina is aware, the inmate who assaulted her has not been charged, slept in their cell last night, and will face no consequences. This incident is clearly a targeted attack against Peters.
In all likelihood, it is being used as an opportunity to isolate and harass Tina Peters.
Tina has been warning officials that something like this would happen eventually. She was advised to apply for the Incentive Pod. Tina has applied repeatedly and been denied despite nothing disqualifying her.
Something is not right at LVCF.
Tina has minor injuries but is not seriously injured as of this morning.
Can you imagine 70 year old Tina Peters being charged ANOTHER felony charge for defending herself?
Please support Tina! Support her Legal Defense at http://Tinapeters.us and continue to pray for her safety and swift release!

While I grieve over the potential for more injustice lodged against her….there is this thought….
She should find comfort in knowing that she is really important enough, to be receiving this abuse….what are TPTB so afraid of in a 70 yr. old ailing woman?
Did the instigator get a sudden windfall to her inmate trust account? Commissary tab paid off? Enquiring minds want to know.
She needs an Angel…an army of Angels…
Acts 12 6-17…
The governor of Colorado is no better than King Herod, who imprisoned Peter….
She needs an Angel…an army of Angels…
Acts 12 6-17…
Praying!
What we need to do is find out address where she
is being held, her inmate number…..
And absolutely swamp that facility with cards
and letters!
I am talking massive campaign…Miracle on 34th Street
style!
Every single correspondence must be opened and checked
for contraband.😉Then delivered within a timely manner—
regulations on that.
Then when her living area fails to comply with amount
of mail….arrangements have to be made to store.
And that mail campaign has to continue. ….
Just a few dollar tree cards and a book of stamps.
Or, a book of stamps, a box of envelopes and just a
quick pick me up…thinking of you message on a
single pick of paper.
It is a win – win.
AMEN!
The Stalinist state of Colorado was listening to the three panel judge’s questions and slap downs of its Brown Shirt attorney who had no legal comebacks.
I think they can see what’s coming, and so had to set Tina up. Was this attacker promised anything if she helped?? Reduction of sentence perhaps?
Yes, this is how fearful Colorado’s evil rulers are I think. Desperate times (for them) call for desperate measures.
Call me a “conspiracy theorist” if you like.
I’m waaaay past believing there is any morality or conscience in any of them.
Updated news on the assault
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/video-released-alleged-assault-tina-peters-colorado-prison/
And that appeals court could have ordered her release that day if they chose to do so, yet they do nothing but let her remain a prisoner even though they know she is being treated unjustly.
Yes the whole thing makes no sense. She has been in prison six years without incident, but after finally getting her case reviewed and the judges deciding there were problems and she will probably get released a seventy year old woman in poor health just randomly decides to attack another inmate? That is absolutely ridiculous. She was attacked in a very specific location so the attack could not be seen but her protecting herself would be on camera. That is a setup, it doesn’t happen naturally. The higher court needs to look into it as it pertains to her case.
Tina Peters isn’t exactly Big Bertha enforcer of the cell block.
That looked like a planned attack. The inmates waited for Tina to go in the closet, then immediately went after her. If not for her quick defensive actions, Tina might be dead now.
This is all a case of Elder Abuse- tell me something, if this isn’t that, then why do we even have laws that protect the Elderly?
Watching the video it looks like Tina gave better than she got.
Coming to America shortly after the Dems pack the Supreme Court
Part II to that $1 Billion Question: Which indigenous groups get to claim the title “indigenous”??
The originals?
The migrators who displaced the originals?
The “indigenous” neighboring tribes that invaded and took control?
The Indians from the US driven out by other Indians or US Government, who invaded Canada displacing “Canadian Indigenous” tribes?
The categories of “indigenous” who displaced other “indigenous” is endless.
A good lawyer, representing an “indigenous tribe” would make a boatload of money getting answers to those questions, settling just whom gets to take over the land in question.
Then there is the actual science of anthropology and natural history of human immigration and displacement that has occurred every where else in the world but only apply for areas where “white folks” live or migrated.
If these Peoples walked over the land bridge from Siberia, that means British Colombia belongs to…Russia!
#GetOutOf Putin’sLand!
What about people indigenous and non indigenous mixed? What percentages qualify? The questions are endless.
do property rights still exist in the former republic of the US?
Property rights? at this point we don’t even have privacy rights- women can’t even pee in a public bathroom anymore without knowing if a crazy man may walk in.
But apparently, 50% (or more) of the women in the US voted for that.
There is this thing called Voter Fraud Charles- it’s a big problem incase you haven’t gotten the memo.
No- 50% or more of the women in this country never voted to give up our privacy in the bathroom.
This should be a no brainer for you.
Or a crazy woman. Never use public bathrooms.
AS long as you pay for them….property taxes.
When I wrote my check for property taxes this year, I put in the memo line “House Ransom.”
That’s exactly what it is, ransom. I now have clear title again to my property until they send the next “ransom demands” letter in November, telling me how much I need to pony over for another free and clear title for another year. And…and..at a rate on an unrealized gain.
The government will argue they give you services for your property taxes. Police and fire protection, garbage removal (in some municipalities), street maintenance, plowing and sweeping. Maintaining parks for you to use, and mostly educating your children while reminding you that you were educated for free too (at least the majority of people). Of course services vary by community and you can opt out of some but you still have to pay up. The real problem at every level of government is still waste, inefficiency and corruption.
These services can be achieved by a VAT tax or an increase of a fraction of a percent on sales tax, car registration renewal, waste disposal. But they’re holding the deed to your property over your head…ransom
I wonder about that.
Yes you have the right to pay taxes on property!
This will re-draw a whole lot of maps and then what?
I see a giant can of worms being opened.
I think at some point they’ll be looking at seizing retirement accounts, not just heavily taxing them.
Right now they are not really heavily taxed when compared to when you were working.
The theory is you put money away tax free which means more money earnings from more compounded interest. Then when you retire your income decreases and you pay less money in taxes as you are in a lower tax bracket living on SS and retirement savings. That is probably true for most retirees. Especially people without company paid pensions, which have mostly disappeared. That screwed me as I fell into having a very small company paid pensions, but wasn’t offered a 401k until into my forties.
You can also minimize that by rolling over smaller amounts that only have a small effect in your income taxes each year into a 401k and after 5 years each amount and it’s earned interest can be withdrawn tax free. I do agree with you that the Democrats want to get their hands on tax delayed retirement savings. I also say all taxation is theft, only collected by force and coersion.
Oh, why not?
Anything is permissible now. For certain people.
Here’s the thing which propelled this appalling situation…
King Charles in his last year’s address to their parliament (in scripted remarks… by whom, I think we can guess) pontificated that Canada was “stolen” land from indigenous people.
My eyebrows went up…both of them. I suspected then that something as egregious as this was in the works.
No pleasure in saying my spider senses were correct.
He has his wealth and obviously doesn’t give a shit about anyone else.
Interview With German MP Björn Höcke: On the Decline of Elites, MAGA, Post-Democracy, and the AfD’s Path to Power
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/interview-german-mp-bjorn-hocke-decline-elites-maga
They will never vote their way out of this mess…
He isn’t wrong & Ms Sears turned the election into a referendum on democrat behavior so she offered nothing to redress Younkin’s monumental failures.
And Glenn Youngkin is exposed for the fraud he was. I weep for Virginia, birthplace of so many of our original patriots.
Illegal elections are the first step in ‘conquering’ a nation. AND Islam is the only bedfellow for the ‘conquerors’……..the rest is history that has been written many times in many nations.
God Help US
Note the ‘blue’ states with high Islamic populations are winning the fight ‘against’ The American Dream.
Yes–Carlyle Youngkin is a fraud.
He was sitting at the Convention with Nikki Randhawa and Mount Pompeo, waiting for the Good News from Butler.
It’s tragic that so many of the original colonies including VA, “the birthplace of American Democracy”, are now the birthplace of totalitarian Democommunism.
This should be a good example for the President to get things done on future elections, they still have not been secured.
I know he doesn’t have the help of the republicants and definitely not the dims, but more exposure to past fraud is needed.
We all see it here, but the average American doesn’t get how bad it is.
We have little to no say in who runs this country and steals from us.
I voted for Youngkin so I guess I got what I voted for.
“Dems have been in power for two minutes and they’re already exercising all of the power available to them, and then some.
Youngkin was a corporate shill. He quietly moved corporations into VA with huge subsidies (your tax dollars).
Now the corporate elites have their radical in place and are going to kill small businesses and ensure elections are rigged indefinitely.”
Republicans the party that doesn’t exercise legal authority for fear of being called racist by the IC run mockingbird media! So what do they do instead but run a black woman to show they’re not racists! How did that work out? But in fairness the DC area is a hotbed of leftist deep staters!!!
once again for those in the back, the “modern” west has shifted from voting being important to CONSENT.
we can complain all we want about broken and illegitimate “elections” – but if we ultimately fall in line and pay our taxes and obey government once its all done, whatever the vote was worth hardly matters. our passivity is CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED.
Well if there are enough of you and these are stolen elections, make some big noise. You can do something about this.
I keep saying the same thing, the bottom line here that people are missing is that we’ve just lost another state.
I live right in the middle of MA and VT and can’t solidly confirm that once we’ve lost the state to the Left, it’s damn hard –if not impossible to get it all turned back around again.
I don’t know how you all feel about Balkanization of the US, it’s certainly not in Trump’s plan, BUT I can tell ya as a person that lives on an island that is entirely surrounded now, we take it all quite seriously.
Red states that are sharing long borders with flat out insane blue areas have got huge issues that at some point are going to be worked out- through secession or other means.
My state did recently actually have a vote on secession- so don’t minimize the issue or what the solutions will then be.
Losing Virginia is a major loss.. and it was done through voter fraud shenanigans of course.
The only way to turn Virginia reliably red is to shut down DC and move all the bureaucrats to somewhere else. I don’t see it happening.
Northern Virginia and Richmond control the state.
Same situation as most every other state with one or more large blue cities. Multiplied exponentially by the Federal leviathan and all that associated money close at hand.
Charlottesville is a cesspool of rabid liberals too. Sad.
There are now MANY entire states that are being entirely controlled by the one deep blue city.
This is a huge issue that has got to get solved urgently.
The entire rest of the population literally are being robbed and they’ve got no representation at all..
if what he claims is true, where is the FBI and DOJ? We are in perpetual complaining mode on the right, but can’t seem to do much else. We automatically say the election was stolen, but that’s easy to do when you don’t have to prove it was. Also, is this person claiming that GOP voter turnout was at a level high enough to win in VA? I don’t think it was even close, even without one lick of fraud. GOP voters simply stayed home.
On the fraud issue, at some point someone has to do something. I thought that’s what we voted for with Trump and his assigned people, right? We are one full year in and not one thing on election fraud. It’s as rampant as it ever was. Someone needs to sneak a 2026 desk calendar into Trump’s office. He’s 10 months away from losing the house and senate if nothing big gets done. The GOP is working hard to make sure the house goes to the dems. They might try to keep the senate for money reasons, but that is looking more and more unlikely.
Running a never-trumper for Governor was a sure-fire way to lose. A state that PDJT carried only a year before. And a huge tell about that State’s GOP.
They can now enjoy their time in the wilderness.
Anyone who gives a penny to the VA GOP is a fool. They planned on losing.
Anyone who gives a penny to the nation-wide GOP is a fool… they plan on losing, it is not just the Virginia GOP!
See, it was the Uniparty RINO’s turn with Yungkin; now it’s the socialists’ Uniparty Demon’s turn. Keep up, would ya? 😂😊
What an utter and complete cop-out.
People continue the stupid thought that someone ELSE will rescue them and they sit on their backsides waiting for that someone else to solve all of THEIR problems.
I sure as hell don’t remember massive marches, with phone-in and write-in campaigns that deluged the previous legislature to fix the voting issue or most other issues (in fact, in recent memory the only issue I remember any appreciable citizen action was for 2A and school related issues) – which is a STATE level issue at its core.
I also don’t remember deep vetting of any of the candidates and the information being shared far and wide and flooding the state level party and voting organizations with true patriots.
Yet, as always – it’s “somebody else’s fault.” Pathetic.
On top of NATO EU members saying they cannot defend themselves vs a Russia they overwhelm in every category power measurement … without the US …. let alone deploy assets to Greenland.
Here’s an interesting note … the much advertised “deployment” of German, UK, French and Danish Troops to “defend Greenland from the US” amounted to being nothing more than a “training exercise” …. sending fewer than 250 TOTAL personnel to Greenland ON CIVILIAN Airliners. By the way, those contingents have already departed for their home bases.
NO Aircraft (not even Military Transport to Carry the deploying troops)
NO Drones
NO Multi-Role Frigates
NO Combat Troops, the 250 were all Command-Logistics types.
The current “permanent” Danish Forces on Greenland consist of a Command-Logistics-Training Unit (about 200 troops), a few local volunteer Home Guard militia squads and few (2-3) fisheries patrol vessels.
I am not convinced that Denmark or Europe writ large actually care about or want Greenland. It’s all about posturing, looking like they are opposing orange man.
*edited to “Greenland”
I know that … that is the point of the comment … to point out how shallow the arguments of the EU remain.
In the interest of obscuring a countries ( fra, ger, gb ) bad policies on illegal immigration, energy, economy….
Is part of the meaning of ‘posturing’
include positioning to grift money ( from usa, nato ) ?
( kind of like the eee uuu etc. does with the unneeded ukr / russia conflict – as people die )
I do not know
People know
Actually, there is a pattern here, whatever Trump tries to do, the three Musketeers of Western Europe try to stop him. They are like all lefties, they don’t want him to succeed.
EU Members, European NATO members and Euopean nation states have no clue what’s going on. 🙄
“Greenland is Ice.” Nearly all of it is covered by ice and is uninhabitable. There are a few small settlements in the coastal south, but most of it is no man’s land.
There might be plenty of natural resources there. Now, try to profitably get them out . . .
The former Ambassador to Denmark was on Varney this morning and I heard the very best explanation for why President Trump is so determined to get Greenland. Firstly, he warned Denmark in 2019 that they needed to secure Greenland because China was pushing that way. They agreed to spend $200m to do so. But they didn’t follow through. In addition, Denmark is in violation of Article III of the NATO agreement which states that each member must be able to defend their own territory.
President Trump will win this one.

Anyone else notice that there are no parents loudly complaining about the closure of so many “Daycare Centers” in Minneapolis ? It’s almost like they were all fake!
Have these “Daycare” centers actually closed?
Good question … the second part of your question is actually, have the owners of these day Cares actually gone out of business?
There are literally 100’s of Day Care buildings within a 10-15 mile radius of my home in Collin County. Those “daycare buildings” have the names on their signs change often but the same owners always seem to be involved.
Point being, the daycare physical building is NOT the where the money resides.
good question.
bondi’s Department of Perpetual Investigations felt really compelled to tell us all the investigations they had already going, when some citizen journalist embarrassed them how easy it is to get at the truth.
we then saw the LEARING CENTER sign changed out after the Department of Strong Letters told them they were ON NOTICE.
so, on the whole, we have to assume that the Department of Killer Memes and saying “FAFO” every few seconds is all over it…
Allegedly, the day care, transportation etc center’s
are ‘digitally opened’
but not physically opened. ( to have access to taxpayer money ). And apparently that is good enough for those connected to the cash flow stream$.
Are some of them becoming ‘digitally’ closed ( and new ones opening – to uhhh …meet the demand of uhhh transportation, child care etc. ( or meet the thirsty, greedy demand$ ))
( kind of like the game called whack a mole ?)
I do not know
The ( not good ) games people play…at cost$ to working taxpayers…
Things not seen are very often the most telling.
Another example would be the 2020 election fraud being “debunked.” Never saw that TV special laying out the evidence that “debunked” the actions that we all saw before our eyes.
Here are a few questions which might help move to some needed action to prevent this from happening again in the future – if accountability isn’t in the future:
Why did Texas have no ‘standing’ to dispute the election results (especially when for the first time ever – five states stopped tabulating their counts at exactly the same time)?
Has Roberts’ friendship with Norm Eisen led him to recuse himself from any cases?
Should the third branch of the government play any role when the Legislature failed to take any action with evidence that the sitting President was non compos mentis?

Two Individuals Plead Guilty to $68M Adult Day Care Fraud Scheme
Two defendants pleaded guilty today to conspiring to defraud Medicaid by paying health care kickbacks for services that were not provided at two Brooklyn social adult day cares and a home health care company.
“The defendants were large-scale recruiters who bribed patients with laundered cash and billed Medicaid over $68 million for services that were not provided,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

Albany, NY (January 10, 2026) – New York’s flagship Medicaid home-care program is undergoing a sweeping overhaul after investigators concluded that scammers, middlemen, and lax oversight drained more than $1.2 billion in public funds over several years.

Basically, they all were. And don’t tell me that officials in City, State, and Federal Government did not know this all along.

“Senior Iranian diplomat at U.N. European Headquarters has defected and requested asylum in Switzerland, reports Iran International.”….
Is the theocracy crumbling or just purging to execute a defensive reorganization??? This guy is getting out while living outside Iran.
There are many forms and flavors of Islam that exist inside Iran … and each faction hates the the other as much as they hate Infidels … and each faction wants to be top dog.
Don’t count too heavily on a secular Iran emerging from any form of regime change that may occur.
The current unrest is NOT about Islam.
I believe it was Bessent that just reported all this too- that they could see the money being moved out of Iran- proving that they are in the process of leaving.
And now this, that confirms what he was saying.
There is more in Switzerland than skis, chocolate and Rolex…
knives?
CERN
BIS
And you can bet he has off-shore accounts and swiss bank accounts to help him defect properly and enjoy a cushy life!
The cold anger I have for all the gifters, war mongers and our own “con’gress and other worthless politicians just keeps getting colder. I am weary of it all.
In the 2020 census Minnesota kept its 8th congressional seat by 26 people (not citizens, bodies). Assuming deportations follow these ICE actions alone will cost Minnesota one of its 8 congressional seats, most likely in Twin Cities metro. Unless the next President lets them all come back before 2030.
10,000 is less than 1/2,000th of the number of illegal invaders who broke in from 2021-2025 (20+ Million).
That is 0.05% of what’s required to undo the invasion before 2028.
Homan needs to be deporting well over 10,000, every single day, nationwide, to make meaningful progress.
Eisenhower was able to round up more in one year, over 70 years ago.
They need to step it up. Dramatically.
Start by hiring another 100,000 ICE officers. They have the funds for it.
This is just Minnesota. 10,000 illegals removed. ICE and DHS are working in other states. Although I don’t know the numbers of deportations, they can’t get them out of the USA fast enough. I still applaud the effort.
It was well under 1 Million for year one. More than that self-deported.
I know they inherited a completely broken ICE. Biden’s goons wrecked it. And it takes time to rebuild an agency. They’ve had that year to do so.
But 22,000 agents (presently) is not enough for the job. They must ramp it up dramatically in 2026.
All this insurrection is primarily just over the most violent ones. The communists are going to ramp it up 10X once their bread and butter illegals start getting rounded up.
They now have a huge budget appropriation to do the job. Accelerate.
Hire all the disgruntled and resigning/retiring cops in all these police-hating blue hell holes. Offer them double what the locals did, if need be.
JMO but I don’t think PT has shown a willingness to deport all illegals with the exception of criminals. This is just one of decisions that has been confusing. His stance on School student visas, legal visas for that matter.
Wouldn’t you think zerohedge and other sites would know not to use the left’s language, that should be “illegal aliens.” And we need to remind every news person, every democrat, every writer, this is the accurate term.
Tallanasty: DeSantis Adviser Embroiled in Filthy Scandal Plaguing Florida GOP Gubernatorial Primary Undercard
FTA –
Now, Pushaw works for the governor’s office and apparently has been moonlighting as an informal adviser to a man named James Fishback who is running for the GOP nomination for governor.
Fishback has come under serious scrutiny over reports he lived with an underage girl for some time earlier in his life, and for his associations with anti-Israel activists. …
…All of this splits the vote and divides the field of those who might challenge Trump’s pick, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who is of course looming above all of this drama. …

Surprise, surprise NOT!
Tucker had an interview with him recently.
Worth watching. He addresses the allegations.
Lot of information came out about Florida in
that interview 😳
Tucker Carlson….Rumble
James Fishback on DeSantis’s Attack on Free Speech, Randy Fine’s Bloodlust, & America Last Globalism
Encouraged family and friends in Florida to watch.
🤷♀️ 🤷♀️ They did….and have said they are for Fishback!
They are those “Heritage Floridians” Fishback is fighting for! 👏
As for Pushaw seems that there is quite a 💥💥💥
I can see where a lot of smearing and mud slinging will be going on!
Propaganda machine uses her as a “trigger prop”…..🤣 is she still dating

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely check it out. Admittedly, I’m a little behind on DeSantis/Pushaw news of late.
Pushaw …all indications are that she is CIA.
Beginning with her affiliations in Ukraine.
And that she is DiSanctimonius “ handler “.
It appears that she was cozying up to Fishback to
feel him out, compromise or sabotage him.
She is like a version of Typhoid Mary! Toxic.
Always seems to pop up when a smear-propaganda
campaign is being launched.
Fishback turned the tables. 👏👍
Sea Island crowd probably has the Sads. Good!!
I am for the Heritage Floridians who want their state back!
Again, the Tucker interview is worth watching!
A lot of 💥 information in that interview.
Fishback is running a terrible negative campaign against Byron Donalds. Trump is supporting Donalds so why did Ron throw Fishback in the pot and loan his wonder girl out to help Fishback?
Fishback is a hack. Ron picked him to run against Byron Donalds.

Jonathan Turley –
With the DOJ investigating the disruption of the Minneapolis church by anti-ICE protesters, organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who leads the local Racial Justice Network, is declaring that the churchgoers “need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts.”…
....The reference to the faith of the congregants is only going to strengthen the federal investigation. While a civil rights charge could be dismissed as a political rather than a religious-centered protest, the DOJ clearly has authority to investigate the group…
Jeff Childers sets out the legal analysis here:
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/washed-up-tuesday-january-20-2026
It certainly appears that all involved are trying to bait the Administration into invoking the Insurrection Act on their timing, not ours.
What is bait that the fish recognizes as bait?
It’s not bait.
Which isn’t to say it’s nothing. They are creating their own legal nooses, on purpose, and there is no undoing what they’ve done to themselves
These people are really stupid.
Thanks Alex. …Childers analysis is very informative.
I’ve been calling all of them stupid since this all started. None of them care if they’re being caught on video. Protesters, activists, or criminals. There’s so much video of people committing crimes it’s unbelievable.
Andrew Mercada, Mercada Media, is a Liberal working within the ranks of the protesters. He’s been posting people online committing crimes. I’m almost certain he’s profiting from his video’s by collecting reward money.
The level of stupid required for that line of thinking is crazy. Sooo, their plan was to bait Trump to invoke the IA by conspiring to violate 18 USC 247???
Conspiracy under 18 USC 371 makes this even more stupid because the conspiracy laws increase the criminal penalties…5 years instead of 1 year…
Per offense.
Don’t need an Insurrection Act to deal with these clowns.
Take this with a grain of salt, but invoking the Insurrection Act might be exactly what they want. Hegelian Dialectic again.

the “journalism” on this event has been the usual slop and filth, but there is a phrase i have seen repeated a lot of times… they say that the terrorist group “suspected the pastor was a member of ICE”
the subject is then dropped without further comment. i have been curious whether he IS, in fact, an employee of ICE? how did they come to this conclusion?
Perhaps pastors connection with ICE (if true) was discovered from documents stolen from law enforcement vehicle that “protestors” broke into last week?
Even if the pastor was a director for ICE it is immaterial as he was involved in the business of his church as a private citizen observing the tenets of his faith and not as a member of ICE.
We don’t disagree. …But curious to know source of their claim? Is it possible claim stems from classified personnel information reported stolen (along with weapons) from law enforcement vehicle last week?
Stolen, or left for someone to find. Cannot be sure when it comes to the FIB.
from a little earlier post by Alex1689
January 20, 2026 10:11 am-
“… The plan, or scheme, started when documents were filed in a federal case two weeks ago, which included an affidavit from David Easterwood, who identified himself as a “regional director for ICE.”
Having obtained a name, two groups of local Black Lives Matter activists hunted Easterwood down, ultimately discovering he is some kind of assistant pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul. So Lemon and the BLM activists plotted to teach the church a lesson, for including an ICE employee in its pastoral staff. (No wonder ICE agents prefer wearing masks and not filing affidavits.)
If the activists planned to confront the doxxed ICE official, the plan backfired. As far as anyone knows, Mr. Easterwood —the outed ICE employee— didn’t attend church on Sunday. None of the many videos show him anywhere in sight.
…”
…’scheme started when documents were filed in a federal case two weeks ago, which included an affidavit from David Easterwood…’
Thanks AmaraGrace. My eyes must’ve skipped right over this part when reading it first time.
See US v. Ballard (1944). Whether the religious belief is correct is not an issue for the law.
Just like Don Lemon saying they were going into a church. Some Democrats in the media are trying to claim it’s not really a church because the pastor works for ICE.
Well, the people who conspired to deprive those parishioners of their religious freedoms absolutely knew they were attacking a church. They said so themselves. Multiple times before, during, and after. Don Lemon went so far as to stand in the sanctuary and demand the pastor say specific prayers.
William Kelly released that f-bomb laden tirade because he’s scared. I have no doubt that he got calls from his paymasters, and was told he committed multiple felonies. Don Lemon? The same.
Let’s see this go on when they disrupt a Muslim church or a Jewish temple. Yeah, only Christian’s count in this blatant disrespect for the Constitution and our laws. Go ahead. Let’s see you disrupt a mosque service.
Re: law enforcement, speed tickets, illegal immigration enforcement ( ICE ), some are teaching interference tactics, rules for radicals
Whom would want to interfere with a law enforcement activity ( protecting a roadside flat tire change or engine problem fix, or a seat belt, speed, driving under influence?
Usually, no one.
Sometimes there are good Samaritans that lend a hand.
Sadly, we have a problem.
For awareness, thus is happening
( trying to spread the mnpls disruption of routine law enforcement activity? )
To plant miss seeds of thought into the public.
This was placed in the ‘news’ to advertise in a c-dem ( college campus, university. of Ia. ) area:
In a preadvertised group meeting ( not including law enforcement )
“Escucha Mi Voz reminded everyone to remember their rights during encounters with ICE agents.
That includes the right to document an incident.”
“You can record or videotape or even audio. You can take pictures. You can ask them for their badge number, for their names, for the agency they work for,” lead organizer Alejandra Escobar said.
The group also got to practice what they learned.
Two of the nonprofit’s organizers simulated an arrest as the crowd reacted.
Escucha Mi Voz also emphasized: never interfere with an arrest.
“What not to do? Do not pull their masks. Do not touch them. Do not push them. Do not touch even their cars. That’s really important to know,” Escobar said.
But the nonprofit said it’s up to each individual to know the risks if they do decide to interfere.
“But if it’s a crowd of 300 people, and there are two [ICE agents], and you’re interfering, they’re not going to arrest. They can’t. They don’t have the capacity to arrest 300 people with two vans outside,” Escobar said.”

whatever your thoughts on this terrorist movement, it is important to note that they are VERY DEDICATED to their cause.
when the “right” protested peacefully at the right place and right time and the jackboots cracked down, we slinked away quickly and called it a false flag (it may very well have been but a lot of honest people with very legitimate grievances were there).
these people are not backing down, and none of that training above is wrong. it would be good for us to remember it should we ever choose to confront illegitimate government again, which i am quite confident will be very soon. you cannot simultaneously claim to be “back the blue” and obedient to government, and defeat evil government the way our founders demanded we do so.
If the agents, or Army troops, open fire, the crowd will quickly scatter, except for the bodies lying on the ground.
Are you talking about Iran ?
No tariff opinion today. SCOTUS could list another opinion day this week. Or not.
IMO roberts is struggling to negotiate with the illegitimate members of the court; his obsession about putting on a unified face. he has been pretty open over the last few years that he considers the goal of presenting the court as non-partisan to be more important than ruling on the merits of the Constitution. he spends a lot of time horse-trading votes on cases.
this alone should render him invalid to serve on that body.
Why do Billionaires Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want the United States to buy Greenland?
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.
https://gemini.google.com/share/6853434df09a
Ancient peoples had Chambers of Commerce, too! “Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice!”
Most of the subcontinent is covered by thick layers of ice 100% of the time, and only small coastal areas in the south are realistically habitable.
I don’t readily see why the USA would want to own the place, instead of simply building a military base there.
territorial waters.
The difference between having an autonomous USA military base and one tied to NATO on Greenland are profound.
For instance, the operational reach from Greenland to our presently identified adversaries is such that it makes establishing proxies such as Ukraine, Georgia, etc. unnecessary, thereby removing the NATO encroachment threat to Russia, and signaling to China that the US would host multiple attack vectors should they strike first.
Peace through strength would allow those nations to focus on improving trade relations and providing better lives for their people instead of sacrificing them on battlefields.
Secondly, we would not need to listen to ankle-biting Euro-weenies, nor abdicate the command to a pansy like Mark Rutte, nor any future UN-acceptable globalist scum. We would be able to champion an America-first national security policy without having to build a consensus with our frenemies.
Lastly, if Greenland is in fact a natural-resource rich, there is no nation on earth that would find a way to extract those resources as affordably – while maintaining respect for God’s gift to mankind as the USA. Others may pontificate, but who led the world in bringing in environmental standards?
Ever since Greenland became a “thing”, I have always believed that something strange was afoot. Minerals would be too costly and risky to mine, military/defense reasons smells too much like a trojan horse. The tech/billionaires angle feels appropriate not only because these people have helped him get elected, but they are also policy partners.
And no, I don’t think he will ultimately follow through with invading Greenland.
He would be invading a mostly-useless icebox. If it were profitable to get to all those “natural resources” and extract them, then that would be being done already. There’s a reason why almost no one lives there.
“Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice.” Most of the territory is vacant for a reason. Not worth pursuing. The climate would make even a military base very expensive to staff and run.
You are making entirely too much sense.
Shame on you.
So is Breath of Liberty
.
Shame on him too.
The climate would make even a military base very expensive to staff and run.
How-bout a detainment camp for criminal illegals and their seditionist enablers?
“Ever since Greenland became a “thing”, I have always believed that something strange was afoot.”
Having all the unlimited US Military access to Greenland we wanted over the past 80 years with complete cooperation from Denmark and then unilaterally abandoning every military base we have there makes the “national security” argument very suspicious, Mike!
POTUS is taking Greenland as a shatterpoint to the US/EU alliance Narrative
These people always hated us, and the UK never stopped lusting after North America.
Masks off.

re: ‘masks off’
While the pandemic masks were on (2020-2024),
much was revealed.
(to those that could see and feel the objective facts of their surroundings – tyranny, corruption, pretenders…truths …)
imho
We need to spend $700 billion to buy Greenland so we can take the mask off the EU and Canada?
I think we can get masks off for free!
Great Britain giving Diego Garcia island to Mauitania will render our base there useless. That is probably the reason our military access to greenland is not a sure thing because Denmark could lose control or sell it to another power.
“National Security” has had different meanings to different mis-leaders of the US in the past; Wishy-Washy describes the best of them in their commitment & efforts to make US impervious to foreign/ usurper attacks of every kind; High Treason describes those who have left US bound & sitting ducks to invasion and infiltration.
POTUS 45-47 is a National Security Realist – he knows what each of the words mean, is crystal clear on the meaning of the phrase… and…
he not only knows what to do about it but also how to get it done efficiently & asap.
We haven’t had a leader in the office… we’ve had predators, grifters, parasites, & usurpers-in-chief who didn’t understand, didn’t care, or both;
might have had something to do with your “suspicious” feeling.
The WEF wanker called it “unfamiliar” when asking Howard Lutnik about ‘America First’s vigorous tactics of gaining cooperation in these new international agreements.
Accurate, Captain Obvious.
As PM Carney bows and aligns with the ChiComs the Albertans are planning to leave!!!
Canada is much like all of the blue states in america. Geographically very conservative except for very small pockets of nutjob leftists in highly populated cities. Look at CA or IL or NY county by county and you’ll see this in a very glaring way. I know, a canadian conservative is still much more liberal than any american true conservative.
For the people of Canada, breaking away from the embarrassment of canadian authoritarianism will require complete separation. You cannot co-exist with these people. Same in the USA. There will never be any common ground. You have to destroy them politically.
No one is paying much attention to this point: but if Alberta leaves, we’ll then see Saskatchewan leave and who knows who may be going next.
Alberta is the first Domino.

I don’t know if this has been linked from our friends at AT, but there is one statement that caught my eye: as related to the enormous costs of illegal immigrants here in our country, grifting off the welfare intended for Americans.
“The end result is this: Big Business profits from illegal aliens while offloading the financial and social costs onto Americans already struggling”
And further along….”foreign powers habitually work to undermine the social stability, legitimacy, and peace of the United States.” A national security threat.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/01/minnesota_doesn_t_set_america_s_immigration_policy.html
We should begin by calling this by its true name: “HUMAN TRAFFICKING.”
Right?!
I thought that is what lefties railed against. Corporate greed at the expense of taxpayers.
But somehow for the jab (yeah, we haven’t forgotten) and welfare for illegals, it’s not an issue.
Excellent opinion piece posted on Fox website:
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/lee-carter-trumps-approval-ratings-reveal-legacy-media-refuses-see
Excerpts: “This is why Trump’s approval ratings feel so unsatisfying to everyone.
Critics want them to signal collapse.
Supporters want them to signal dominance.
Instead, they signal something more unsettling: stability without consensus.
Recent polling suggests Trump’s approval has stabilized after early dips — not because nothing is happening, but because everything is settling into place. The sides are formed. The reactions are predictable. The country has chosen its lenses.”
More good observations in the article. But, it’s not a “good news” for Trump either. President Trump appears to be damning the torpedoes. Indeed, more torpedoes probably need to be damned with regard to stalled movement on domestic agendas. But it’s coming with a cost. His belligerent style may feel good to him, being unburdened from reelection concerns in a second term, but it is melting support from independents and some R’s. It’s those very people that are needed to hold the Senate and House in the midterms.
While his blunt, uppercut style feels good to many supporters, middle ground voters are getting tired of it. I know the Treehouse doesn’t like hearing that, but it’s just election reality. Speak with mild Trump supporters if you know them…people who are in this quasi temporal political realm of lean right to middle of the road. I know many via work and social contacts. Listen to what they re volunteering, and how that has changed from pre-election chatter. Before, some saw a clear distinction, and voted FOR Trump. Others love America and values enough to vote for him while not very happy with him personally. Some said they sort of held their nose and voted for him as clearly the best option. CURRENT comments are more concerning, becoming negative and even alarmed. These same people now say they see a vindictiveness, a touch of power mongering, and a brute force approach to government that is alarming. Not my words…it’s what I’m hearing amongst these folks who volunteer their observations.
Of course, nothing is universal. Some in this group still support President Trump but don’t like a few of the remedies or directions he’s taken. A few are completely abandoning the effort, and either hope for a better candidate from the R’s or (gulp), even a more centrist candidate from the Dims.
Folks this isn’t trolling. By virtue of my associations I get lots of chatter from a wide variety of people. Completely unscientific of course. But if one only communicates within a tight circle of like minded, it becomes tribal. My strong conservative perspective and orthodox faith keep my foundation firm, yet I still listen and observe outside that sphere. Just my 2 cents.
Remember this: “A public opinion poll exists to influence public opinion, not to measure it.” If you tell me what you want the poll results to be, I’ll concoct a poll that does that.
Also: “A prophet is without honor.” A President who is acting decisively is not going to be popular. His popularity will be fleeting. But, that is why he cannot base his actions on the results of public opinion polls. A good commander and leader is always alone. If he’s “constantly popular,” he isn’t doing his job. Instead, he is being taken advantage of.
The devil is in the details. We’ll see what happens during election season.
I expect the Democratic and Independent turnout to be historically enormous.
I don’t have a sense for the Republican turnout yet.
Well here’s the thing. You don’t got to “independents and some R’s” if you want to get something done. I deal with this at work where the squishy middle seems to exist for one and only one purpose: to get nothing done, then whine about nothing being done.
How about instead of whining about mean Trump, the person who wrote this piece play that William Kelly / church attack video and say something to the effect of,
“You think Trump is ‘’mean”? This is the absolute evil he is up against. This is the Democrat Party when you take off their media filter. If you’re an independent or a RINO squish, you need to realize that the William Kelly’s of the world will just murder you last.”
I get it, and we can make those points to the mushy middle as much as possible. Do they HEAR it? I hope some do.
But for all the hope we carry, where is the rubber meeting the road? Throwing all polls into the hellfire pit of “fake” is not an answer. Of course some are skewed, but others are closer to accurate. Nevertheless, I’m not even pointing to polls. I’m talking about real people, who yes are mushy middle grounders (in my observations), who previously went for Trump, and are now pushing back. YES the media frames everything against him, but they did that before the election. When President Trump is putting out his OWN message, either in social media or direct interviews, his bombastic speech TURNS THESE PEOPLE OFF.
I want our President to WIN the day, and push back the evils that have eviscerated our nation. But he still has to win over enough voters to keep the CONgress from gutting everything after November!
Thanks for your concern Tokyo Rose.
All is lost, go home.
Why do I think this is brilliant 😎
Amen and Amen! My guess is it won’t happen!!!
and this will only get worse as Team Trump works to primary all of these backstabbers and lying fraud GOP senators. Once they get targeted for replacement, they will never support anything Trump wants to get done. Bill Cassidy is a scoundrel and has been notified that Trump is supporting his opponent. Cassidy will be just like Thom Tillis now. Oppose everything Trump wants to do.
Fixing our election system is mostly a law enforcement effort at this point anyway. Passing voter ID laws won’t do it as the states will just ignore or work around the law. You can manufacture legal ballots with voter ID laws in-place as long as the voter is legally registered. I don’t think voter ID stops very much of the fraud.
Blonde and Patel aren’t working anything here. One year in and nothing. They aren’t there to help, they are there to stall and run-out the clock on Trump, just like Bill Barr.
These RHINO’s do not care about the future. Their cowardly actions show imho they care only about the present and because of their selfishness are incapable of understanding that their hostility toward their base is what will ensure the death of the Constitutional Republic.

Trump is a very powerful force, yet he can’t get these two twits Thume and Johnson to get their troops in-line? BS. Trump could grind all of them into fertilizer if he wanted to.
Trump is being told by his “advisors” to play-nice. When he gets impeached and removed from office, he’ll be wishing he used his power to force the issue. It’s all very puzzling to me. Someone needs to remind Trump the primaries start in 2 months and the midterms less than 10 months. WTF are they waiting for?
Seems to me MAGA Senators could force the issue of removing filibuster by holding up on their vote for the next “must pass” bill in the Senate. Wont pass this bill if you dont remove the filibuster….

My mother – a woman with a quite strength all her own and seemingly endless patience, never messed around when it came to the “that’s not fair” game, and having borne 5 boys and 1 girl, that wasn’t a bad strategy at all.
She ALWAYS began the same way: “Life ISN’T fair.” She would then take the time to address whatever was ‘percolating’, so to speak, restore any needed peace and calm in the situation at hand, all the while continuing with the ongoing tasks of the day.
Looking very much forward to seeing her again … one Day.

What a beautiful, sensible mother you had, RCR. A quiet place in the storms which always arise between siblings. A wise and just arbiter and educator of life, and a wonderful blessing for all of you.
She’s only gone ahead, as mothers do…and will no doubt embrace you with all the love she carried for her children.
Blessings, my friend 🙏🏻
Indeed. All that, and more.
TY.
My Mother had 3 boys and she never interfered with any physical fights, which were many, she just stayed calm and let us settle down with the ever present threat of wait till your Dad gets home!!! That always worked. Back then a belt was still a legal weapon and used judiciously! Fear of the belt had a calming effect. But that was back in the late 50s. Times have changed.
Wow, my story is the same as yours, mine was late 70’s, early 80’s. The belt was the best discipline there was, not abuse, but discipline, a big difference.
Ah, but memories of “the belt” – yours and mine – remain. Ours was a rather thick, inch wide 12 inch long leather strap.
I do have to chuckle, thinking of it.
Funny, as they got older – we were living in a more “dignified” state in those days – they confessed at one point their concern about the existence of that belt – and potential knowledge of it outside the home. AS IF – with five boys, such a thing was unheard of.
My mother predeceased my father, and shortly after his death I went to retrieve that family heirloom, purely as a keepsake.
GONE. Poof!

““We have Europe buying Russian oil, still, four years later, they are financing the war against themselves. India started buying Russian oil after the conflict began, but President Trump put a 25% tariff on them, and India has geared down and has stopped buying Russian oil,” he said.”

Why can’t Europe buy Russian oil? They are using their own money. Does anyone tell you how to spend your money? 🤔
As of 5 December 2022, countries within the European Union will no longer import crude oil from Russia. And as of 5 February 2023, they will no longer import petroleum products, such as diesel and kerosene, from Russia. The purpose of these measures is to ensure that Russia has less money coming in to fund the war in Ukraine.

“You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.
Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privileges of their corps…
Their power [is] the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.”

if a bunch of MAGA people stormed the local missionary baptist church during a morning service trying to educate the poor black folks that attend the church on how they are being brainwashed and looted by their huckster “pastor”, how long do you think it would take the FBI and DOJ to have every single person remotely involved cuffed and in-custody charged with serious federal crimes?

After watching a floor speech of Mitch McConnell bashing President Trump on his Greenland stance it occurred to me Mitch McConnell can barely speak but I guess if the democrats can deny the mental and physical decline of Biden, Feinstein and the deceased female SCOTUS judge, (for some reason I have drawn a blank on her name) so too can senate republicans deny the physical and mental decline of Mitch McConnell. I may be on my own branch but as I watched MM speak, I almost felt pity for him but then I remembered how vain he is and what pity and embarrassment I felt for him left my brain.
Turtles have extraordinary long lives. In this instance not so it appears.
Justice Ginsburg.
Yes, that it. Thank you
Ruth B. Ginsburg.
And don’t forget Senators Byrd and Cochran. Could have had a good Tea Party senator instead of the senile Cochran, but McConnell interfered. Did the same in Alaska for Murkowski.
McConnell did the same to Delaware. MM was butt hurt because the Tea Party republicans primaried Castle in the Republican primary and Castle lost his primary. Mitch McConnell did the dirty work for the Delaware democrat party and attacked her and now we have Coons. Christine O’Donnell was not the crazy witch women Mitch McConnell claimed she was. Mitch McConnell used religion and the stupid weejee board game her and her sorority sisters played as the tool to drive the divide. Teenage girls doing what teenage girls do. Pushing boundaries I suppose.
I have never played the weejee board game, not because of my religion but because it is stupid and if spirits want to talk to me, they will do so on their own.

Yeah , I agree.
In my mind, I want to ask people here every morning – “So what are we angry about today?”
I’ve been angry since 2020. Angrier still when we traded McCarthy for “No Johnson” Johnson and then “The Turdle” for Thune. Still fuming that Youngkin did jack siht for six years and now we have Pantsuit 2.0 (Spanberger). That said, fire Bondi and I promise not to be angry anymore. (Just slightly pissed off though.)
Many are frustrated, which can appear to be anger and as time goes by our frustration does exhibit the same symptoms as genuine anger.
We voted to get “A”, “B” and “C” done. They still aren’t done a year later and the frustration causes outbursts of shouting and cursing and fist shaking. Okay, I reckon that is pretty much the definition of anger after all.
What we miss as we are lashing out is that “M”, “N” and “O” have been accomplished and great strides are being made toward “X”, “Y” and “Z”. It’s just hard to celebrate some victories which may seem obscure since my A, B and C are still not taken care of.
Despite our whining, The Treehouse is by far the best forum on the planet for Patriots.
Trump to be special guest at WH press briefing.
Sadly, an action against Don Lemon has to go to a Federal Judge in MN.
Goodluck with that! There is historical precedent for radicalized and politicized courts. It’s happened before. But I will be shocked if any accountability occurs.
As Harmeet states, they could have been arrested yesterday but Ellison won’t allow it, and is in fact supporting the insurrectionist.
Been curious about Candace Owens and what has people so riled up so I have watched her podcast . One of them she talked about the spectacle of America Fest and how she found it abhorrent. Gist of Candace thoughts……..Only 3 months after Charlie was murdered and this spectacle of a show was put on. The tent under which Charlie died, was a prop at the festival, where people could take pictures. His wife dressed in glamour announcing JD as Next President ….This is not honoring Charlie or TPUSA but was about money and politics….Nothing was normal about it and it made her feel sick. This is the world we are living in ….Phony , Fake, and amoral.
I bring this up because of the Great White Wolf reference to JD. I am afraid we will not have a good candidate to replace PT. Tulsi and Rubio would be my choice at this point unless God points to another who is unknown to me.
He gave us Donald J. Trump. He can raise up who He needs.
Proverbs 29:18
Without prophetic vision people run wild, but blessed are those who follow God’s teachings.

I don’t know enough about him but…i heard the broadcast you mention. Well there there is this, good wishes on the impending new addition:

Watching our Great President have a presser on his accomplishments, how sad he has to do this because Susie, either wont tell him or is ignorant herself, why his and republican polls are down. Guess you could say the polls are fake but he seems to take them seriously. PT’s inner circle stinks. Once the low info public is in a negative mode hard to turn their outlook around.
I really don’t think PT understands how important it is to many voters that Justice has not been served and votes have not been secured. Really the republicans deserve the poll numbers but I don’t think the RINOs care or are actually pleased.
Affordability is part of the problem but not necessarily #1. I know PT must struggle to understand how just a power bill,or insurance bills, food cost, medical cost have such an impact on the average citizens budget, many times devastating. PT sees the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and wonders why average citizens can’t see past the day.
I know firing Bondi, Patel, will not totally solve the problems of the DS but it is a start and if they are hindering the process of prosecuting the real criminals who ware suits, they definitely need to go..
What to do about the corrupt Senators, other than vote them out. I wonder why hard ball is not an option when dealing with them. Hard ball could include America First Senators refusing to vote on a “must pass” bill unless the filibuster is done away with. Then, with the filibuster gone there is no excuse not to vote for Vote integrity laws and the many things on the MAGA wish list.
Trump will never fire Bondi. There is too much of a history there.
If he can’t fire her, then he needs to hire another AG so there are two since the workload is enormous (he can claim that due to the previous admin. mess, the DOJ now needs two AGs to clean up Biden’s mess)
That’s a cancer on an otherwise vibrant Presidency that might seriously imperil the MAGA body politic after 2028.
All the very worst and most dangerous criminals in the world are running free, untouched, and undeterred. The ones who weaponized the government against MAGA and thousands of people, and stole elections and poisoned millions. The ones now laying low, and laughing, as they bide their time.
It is scary and infuriating how can PT not see the urgency? Is this Presidency about his impact on the world, his legacy? Has he become the self appointed President of the world? Is he not concerned about being impeached?
Based has gone from a frog to a turtle to a purple hair gowther so I hear.
MIC DROP: Gutfeld Obliterates the Left With BRUTAL Truth After Church Is Stormed by Radical Activists

CIA STEALS ELECTIONS–ESPECIALLY FOR CIA AGENTS.
One man, one vote, one time as they say.
You know, I just don’t want to hear it about VA, and all the hell on earth the Democrats there are quickly erecting.
This rapid hell was a known consequence. And the VA GOP knew it, too.
And the VA GOP was knowingly willing to throw their state, and themselves, into to that hell.
By running a never-trumper. Because they hate PDJT and the MAGA base THAT much.
It’s the same self-destructive playbook the PA GOP worms ran 6 years ago. And those PA worms have since gone extinct, as the ring around Philly descended into hell.
I hope the VA GOP suffers the same fate. Establishment worms that hate their own base. As VA now burns.
Aw, VP Vance and Second Lady Usha are expecting their fourth child.
Second Lady Usha Vance
@SLOTUS

Wow! this is so exciting.
What she believes in may result in his physical disappearance not just his “people” unless he bows to their allah!!! JMO
Chief federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia posted a job opening for Halligan’s job
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/judge-posts-job-opening-top-prosecutor-spot-doj-claims-lindsey-halliga-rcna254982
Does this mean that the judge gets to choose who to hire for this position? Just because Congress refused to do their job?
People stop complaining about President Trump, the whole world is fighting his efforts to save the Republic.
Crazy Times!
Anti-ICE Transgender saves Jan 6 Rioter being physically attacked by Anti-ICE protestors
She helped him flee a rally, then learned he was a right-wing provocateur
“Please help me,” Lang said, standing outside her friend’s car door, Gottsche told The Washington Post. “They hurt me bad.”
Gottsche saw a cut on his lip and scrapes on his face. From the driver’s side, her friend unlocked the doors. Lang jumped in the back seat.
As they waited for the stoplight to turn green, protesters swarmed them, shouting “That’s him!” according to video of the incident and interviews with Gottsche and Lang. People pried open the doors and kicked Lang. Some hit the car itself. Finally, Lang, Gottsche and her friend sped away.
Within minutes, footage of the moment surfaced online. It fueled speculation about how Lang had escaped the reach of counterprotesters and who had helped him pull it off. The reality was simpler — and in some ways, more complicated — than what most guessed.
Inside the car was Gottsche, a 22-year-old transgender woman and singer-songwriter who said the choice to help Lang felt easy. She thought he might have been hurt by ICE officers, carrying with him the same fear that she and her neighbors have felt for weeks.

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter driven from Minneapolis rally by large counterprotest
MINNEAPOLIS — A right-wing provocateur who was among the pardoned Jan. 6 rioters led a brief anti-immigration demonstration on a frigid Saturday in Minneapolis that ended in a crowd of counterprotesters throwing punches at him as he tried to leave.
A crowd of demonstrators had already gathered outside the Diana E. Murphy federal courthouse downtown by the time Jake Lang and a group of about 10 right-wing protesters arrived at noon. The crowd opposing Lang grew to several hundred and stretched along both sides of South Fourth Street between the courthouse and City Hall.
Lang, who was pardoned along with roughly 1,600 others on the first day of President Donald Trump’s second term, announced the Minneapolis protest at a time of heightened tension after the administration dispatched thousands of immigration enforcement agents to the city.
On Saturday, Lang wore a military-style vest with patches that said “Infidel” and “47” — a reference to Trump. Initially, he blasted “Ice Ice Baby” in a show of support for the federal immigration enforcement agency, and used a microphone to shout “Go home, Muslims” and “Send the Somalis back,” as well as incendiary remarks about how immigrants were “replacing” White Americans.

There is no such thing as a transgender woman; therefore, Gfottsche is a dude and his pronouns are he, him, his. Humans are either male or female.
Nearly three decades after this became common knowledge among Californians who were then paying attention and trying to warn the rest of the country, most Americans still aren’t listening.
I think it’s safe to say the majority of Hispanic Americans who voted for President Trump are aware of this insidious movement, but the rest of America is still ignoring the deadly realities that continue to be shoved down their throats with ever increasing success.

The administration should start focusing on the victims of these illegal aliens they are rounding up. They need to show the victims of these illegal alien criminals convicted of their crimes against the people they are hurting. Until that happens this rioting won’t end. THE MEDIA is focusing on the rights of these convicted illegals instead of the victims.
Ya might want to watch this one. 11min
WTH!!
Who is this guy?
Very interesting! Let us hope he is right…

I am curious. I know this is a private event but is Newsom permitted, legally, to undermine President Trump this way? He appears to be in direct conflict with the business of the State Department and the Executive branch.
“I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders!” Newsom said”
Biting my tounge. Not going to point out the obvious.
