Sheinbaum defends transfer of Mexican cartel members amid efforts to appease Trump
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/21/sheinbaum-mexican-cartel-trump
“Come to Jesus!”
What we saw yesterday at Davos was nothing short of that wonderful expression. Our Great American President Trump didn’t bandy with words, he used his normal jocular delivery, but deadly serious.
Welcome to the new; “New World Order.” Wholly created by our VSGTDT and his MAGA army.
They leave wicked trail, like a slug it’s visible when you stand back and look, but you must look. Now Mr. Trump is standing there pointing it out on the world stage.
Our governments throughout the West are rolling frauds, with installed leaders taking orders and cash from HQ, the WEF.
The (WEF) Wicked Evil F_ckers” …was created by Henry Kissinger to act as the public relations wing for the glo-bull-ist in their quest to destroy the West.
Stan, why would they want to destroy the West? If you want to cull the herd killing off 9 out of 10 humans, human freedoms with independence is an anathema to the demons quest for world dominance clearing out the “useless eaters” H. Kissinger
Finally, these evil glo-bull-ist gangsters are facing a man of resolve, who is on a clear mission to save the world from these demons. With the shield of God and good, who truly wants lasting love & peace for the world.
Our Great American President Donald J Trump is that man. Thank you, Lord.
For once in my lifetime, the demons are on their heels. Even the installed fraud Gavin Newscum’ in Davos took his normal gobbledygook to new levels of incoherent nonsense. Carney (Canada), Macron (France) and others are snuggling up to the Dragon (China) for cash injections to save their socialist giveaways, “free” healthcare no Army etc.
Since the Davos WEF spectacle started, everyone bent the knee to their overlords specifically the banker’s cash. You’d get these glowing platitudinal speeches ending in the same spot, the willful destruction of the West.
In my apathetic bliss voting every 2 to 4 years, Republican since Reagan, these demons have been selling us down the river my entire life. Sadly, R&D’s are a distinction without a difference. This wicked paradigm is being shattered, WWG1WGA, with our unity were unbeatable, divide and they can conquer.
Again, thank you President Trump, that speech you delivered is what I’ve wanted to hear my entire life…awesome!
MAGA …with God is the only way.
Well-stated StanH !!!!

Heads of WEF/GLOBALISTS/UNI-PARTY/WARMONGERS/NEOCON$.. are dangerously spinning….VSGPDJT got fun to deal with those beauties ..they just do not know what hit them next…but this is only way how to do it…
Still waiting for arrests of Don Lemon, William Kelly, and their coconspirators…
Arresting Don Lemon would be a strategic error.
It can wait until he gets arrested for something like raping little boys (quite likely).
The arrest of a key BLM participant who has no prior Narrative form in the public mind, however . . . good move.
Disagree. That smug SOB laughs at our laws and hides behind a constitution that does not in any way protect his criminality. Targeting him would send an important message about the media strategy the left is using.
You’d be right if he really had just happened to drive by and report it. Or if he had passively filed it. But he – by his own words – conspired to plan it and engaged parishioners directly and attacked their faith by instructing them on how the pastor ought to be praying thereby obstructing their 1A religious freedoms and dictating acceptable religious behavior to them.
Anyway, put him in handcuffs, make him lawyer up, bankrupt his ass.
This is Fifth generation warfare.
Lemon is not important. It is much better to allow him to expose himself than make him a martyr.
Play the long game. (You do know if he wasn’t at a Diddy party or Epstein island, he was at something similar, and they’ve already got him dead to rights on doing revolting things, don’t you?)
IMHO
The whole church operation was outrage bait, and a test run.
I trust Team Trump – that is, the ones who recruited PDJT in the first place.
In fact, you have to ask
Did Lemon get flipped to being a CI / Judas Goat??
That’s what I was thinking! Or maybe he was set up to be one.
He is conveniently on camera saying all the right very! incriminating things.
Isn’t that cute. Another apologist. We need some backbone here not appeasement or your fear
No. For us to decide which lawbreakers to arrest puts us on the same level as the Biden DOJ, with targeted law enforcement of those we choose to prosecute.
We should not be the ones who play at being Llevrenty Beria, leave that to the left. (“Show me the man I’ll show you the crime.”). That would turn the Trump DOJ into people like Alvin Bragg, Fanny Willis, Letitia James or Jack Smith.
Lemon broke the law; consequences please.
God’s got the wheel here
{ BREAKING UPDATE: Magistrate Judge REFUSES to Sign Complaint Bringing Charges Against Don Lemon – Magistrate’s Wife Works in AG Keith Ellison’s Office! }
Little miss “I’m black, I’m special” got arrested. More coming.
An arrest has been made by the Bondi DOJ in the church invasion. One arrest. Please control your exhuberance.
Yippee Kay-yah…ONE arrest!! I will reserve judgement on whether or not to be excited -would like to see sweeps and a few dozen people, including Walz, Frey, Don Lemon, and Keith Ellison perp walked by the end of the day…
The mainstream “news” and demtards will be shouting…..”This is a political arrest of a woman of color!”
No one cares anymore.
Not true. Don’t let the media’s power to ignore fool you into thinking nobody cares. That’s EXACTLY why they ignore…hoping the short attention span of media addicted Americans will save their allies.
Not only a woman of color, but a “Reverend.”
Oh no, a ‘woman of [their demonic] god!’
So now the big bad bullies have “murdered” a mother who was a poet, and “disappeared” a woman of color reverend. ‘They’re targeting defenseless women’ will be their rally cry.
We’ve heard it all before, ad nauseam.
So what.
That’s huge.
The arrest of this woman chills the entire BLM industry.
Politicians are just actors, guaranteed a soft landing somewhere. This person, she gets no automatic soft landing.
The air just went out of a lot of sails.
I hope and pray you are correct.
Will they sacrifice her or come out of the woodwork to “save her”???
Either way, the organization is mapped… we’ll see what happens… she might be a teetering domino that facilitates a lot more dominos falling.
They will burn the place down.. I hope Trump is ready.
Well way to go Nekima, wear that badge with pride as you are the first and hopefully not the last to be arrested! To think of all the worthy candidates for arrest and your the first! What an honor!

They also arrested school board member chauntyll louisa allen.
The Hindustan Times (of all places) has a good article about who lil miss chauntyll is.
Harding High School, a school mentioned in the article because a student there was “fatally stabbed,” was our rival school decades ago. Can’t imagine sitting in the bleachers for the rival homecoming football game these days. . .

The country has fallen, says the anarchist who is being paid to make the country fall.
Very clear from this reaction that he is hoping to stoke the agitators up to the 3.5% Rachel Maddow refers to as the percentage necessary to revolutionize the country and make it ungovernable.
The vast majority of these crazies wouldn’t really want what they think they want if they were successful. No one would live a civilized life.
Did she make it to the police station before they let her go?

21 million Americans went to college and still earn less than $20 an hour.
College grads now make up a record 25% of unemployed. And their unemployment rate is now higher than high school grads.
College degrees ain’t what they used to be.
My good friend’s daughter, in her 40s, with a PhD was laid off a few years ago from her research job, and still has been unable to find another one. Has been living off her severance, unemployment, and inheritance from her grandparents. She has other PhD friend’s who have had to take office jobs not earning much.
I have been giving this book to all my family members with young children
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-smith-the-preparation-rethinking-education/id1634237894?i=1000729743852
My hubby has a high school diploma.
He became Vice President of a manufacturing company, second only to the owner.
He interviewed people to fill the Purchasing Agent job, a job where they’d need to be able to figure out things like how many 3″x3″ widgets can be made out of an 8’x4′ piece of plywood.
Hubby put together a simple, I mean really simple, test each applicant was required to complete, and after 3 people with college degrees in mathematics failed the test — he no longer required the applicants to have college degrees.
512
Depends on the kerf width of the blade and the acceptable tolerance of the finished product. If 3″x3″ is minimum acceptable then you can’t get 512. If acceptable tolerance allows for material loss during cutting then 512 is the answer.
At least that’s what I’d tell them, but I’m an engineer.
A smart engineer, too.
Exactly!
😉 It is the engineer who determines how much
is needed.
Unless the company does not have or need an engineer.
I worked for a major paper company back in the 70’s to the 90’s. The young engineers were some of the most stupid people I have ever known. To save money they hired from the bottom third of the class. They also had some foreign engineers that couldn’t do anything, but were needed to meet quotas as as they had a lot of government contracts. The few good engineers were older guys hired from other companies. Then I got into the electric power industry and those people were by and large top notch.
“The young engineers were some of the most stupid people I have ever known.”
Sound like the college degree candidates my husband interviewed back in the 1970s, that caused him to give the job to a high school graduate.
Nice to work with educated people who don’t have anything to prove, other than doing a good days work.
In 🇺🇸 American vernacular, we always
use the term 4’x8’ and not 8’x4’, which
is more international, ie foreign vernacular. 😎
I am an American 🇺🇸 female and even I know that! 😉
Operations, ie engineering, production, field
or line production figure out how much quantities
and what types of products they need to produce
a product on any given scale of quantity or quality.
Specific quantities and types needed are then passed
to the Purchasing Agent.
Typically it is then the job of the Purchasing Agent to
procure the items requested.
The job of a Purchasing Agent is to find the best price
at the lowest price and delivery time frame needed.
Definitely not a job that requires a college degree.
In American vernacular “we” don’t “always” use any term; we are — at least I thought — free to speak and describe things our own way.
As an American female who has worked with building materials most of my life — including with 8’x4′ sheetrock and plywood — I’ll say 96″x48″ if I so choose.
Different businesses do things differently. Sometimes there is no “engineer,” and the production people — no matter their level — are the last people to calculate price per unit.
So a Purchasing Agent, or Buyer, may often do that job, as was the case when my husband was hiring someone for that job.
And as was my point originally, even the job of calculating price per unit does not require a college degree.
96 X 48 / 9
She should “learn to code”. Joetato Bribem said so.
Seriously, one can learn a “trade”.
I worked in carpentry, tape & bed and painting apartments until I was 32.
Worked my tail off to get an engineering degree. Was hired and never looked back.
A 40 year old is not too old to learn a new profession.
Most do. 🤷♀️
My father actually lied about his age when he went
into the Merchant Marines. He was 15.
He then went into the Air Force and retired at 41.
He then found another career.
Two different retirement incomes and then Social Security.
I actually did basically the same. Although my career
paths were drastically different…vested in one retirement
fund. Changed careers and vested in that retirement fund.
Most of the younger guys I worked with were eligible for
retirement at 38-41 years old. They still had children at home
and health insurance costs alone are enough to…break the bank.
Most have started their second careers in the same type field –
but different in many ways, and are now working on their second
retirement income. The foundation of their first career enables them
to transition into another with relative ease. 👏
And a lot of them served in the National Guard, I am thinking
they may be getting some type of benefits from that also!
Yes, I agree 40 is not too old…that is when many are working on
their second career.!!
I would prefer a system which incentivizes good and useful work, rather than gaming the retirement system. And citizens who want to accomplish more than shopping for “benefits”.
Just one example of what I am referring to…..
I had an Uncle who was a firefighter 🧑🚒 in the Navy.
He retired from the Navy at 41.
Tired of handling the hose…he then became a Fire Inspector
for the government, then later retired from there.
Grandfather retired from Navy at 38.
Then retired from the Post Office.
And then he worked at Arlington Cemetery-
and finally he retired and as he put it…just
became an old geezer.🤣
Two different retirement incomes…plus social security.
Always kept insurance benefits!
See how that works? I could give at least a couple dozen
examples just within my family!
None of them were/are paper pushing cubicle rats.
I was taught at an early age….always look at the retirement
and health insurance plans. They are part of your salary.😉

Since Sundance tends to post things on his X feed first, does this mean that there will be a column forthcoming about the “Problem of Pam”? Perhaps with a possible solution?
Everything the President is achieving in Davos, and globally, could be wiped out in November if we lose the House, which is looking likely, unfortunately. But the entire momentum of the mid-terms could be flipped on its head IF we start seeing some serious action on exposing AND arresting “some people who did something” in 2020!!
But I think we are all losing hope that any of that is going to happen with Susie Wiles’ puppet, Pam Blondie, at the helm of the DOJ!
as was the reason for Obama

getting massive numbers of Somalia “refugees “? 🤷♀️
Same goes for the other countries and the

Tucker Carlson on the Somali Invasion and the Self-Loathing Ideology Destroying America
Someone in America is brainwashing to not marry and have children with white men…. it’s hilarious trying to date, or have kids nowadays as a white man. Then you have all the DEI BS taking away the ability to make a living. Obama , the leftists, the Chinese CCP and others are behind this BS.,,, and it is irreversible in the current state.
I’m glad people are at least willing to talk openly on this topic, though looking at those numbers and what we know about what families have more children it’s hard not to think we’re all going to be living in a north St. Louis city type environment before they’re done.
And in St. Louis even the black families don’t prefer that.
Nobody here likes her but Ann Coulter warned about this in her 2015 book, “Adios, America!” There have been others trying to warn America, but they would still be silenced had Elon Musk not purchased twitter.
She was right, but most of the populace was still quivering in fear of being called “racist.”
She got upset because President Trump didn’t do enough fast enough to reverse the trend in his first term – as if he could have, and especially while under non-stop attack by the self-anointed elites, the globalists, the left, and the media (but I repeat myself).
I’ve said often my biggest complaint about President Trump is that he came along three decades too late.

Because whites left the cities after all the mess the democrats made of them.
I beg to disagree Elon. Yes, the white population in these cities (predominantly blue and crime ridden) have dropped drastically. That does not mean “whites are dying”. It means whites have left those cities – and for good reason. Now do a similar comparison to areas that are predominantly red or at least less blue.
The world population is said to be 6-8% Caucasian; I recently saw someone claim it was 15%, definitely an outlier.
Whites reproduce at a far smaller rate than either blacks or hispanics.
No one can look at this several decade long trend and say that Whites are not diminishing quickly as a part of the world population. And it seems that every day I read of more murders of what’s left of the white population in America, frequently with total impunity.
____
Elon Musk is from South Africa, he immigrated here from a literal white genocide. Yes, whites ARE a rapidly dying minority.
Whites especially low income were pushed to have relationships with Blacks especially starting in the 80’s.
Still are
Just watch TV for one commercial cycle or notice billboards and poster advertising anywhere
Even overseas!
Many brown folks from elsewhere have been ensconced in non-blue or red areas, to the detriment of those locales.
A Democratic Virginia lawmaker is backing a bill that would ban the state from verifying a nonprofit’s eligibility to provide and receive federal taxpayer benefits, a move that comes as scrutiny over the misuse of taxpayer funds continues to intensify.
The introduction of House Bill 1369 by Virginia Democratic state Del. Jessica Anderson came in the wake of a massive fraud scandal involving nonprofits in Minnesota and amid pressure by the Trump administration for states to enact better oversight of how taxpayer money is spent.
“No state agency responsible for the administration of federal funds shall impose a requirement on a nonprofit charitable organization providing a federal public benefit to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of eligibility of any applicant for such benefits,” the one-page bill states.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/somali-fraud-scandal-va-democrat-pushes-bill-killing-oversight-nonprofits
Even if the state agency responsible for administering the federal funds couldn’t require a proper accounting of the funds the federal administration of those funds could still require it … and discontinue any funds if not executed.
At least until the left gets in power.
But think of what this very proposal says: We Intend to steal and ha ha you can’t do anything about it.
Minnesota: fraud king…
Virginia: hold my beer
Nick Shirley is onto California next – MN & VA are gonna be holding CA’s keg.
“Theoretically” this law is moot as soon as it’s passed.
The requirements for verification of suitability of FEDERAL GRANT FUNDS is and can be written into ALL FEDERAL GRANTS. So, if a State Government insists on not complying with the Terms and conditions of the FEDERAL Grant … the Federal Agency administering a FEDERAL Grant can deny ALL funds to the intended recipient of that Grant.
The responsibility is now directly in the court of the House and Senate Leadership that authorizes the funds for the Grants, to add the appropriate requirements to the funding Bills they pass.
The Executive Branch entity administering a Federal Grant can also ADD accountability rules to the Grants as they are delivered to the States per their legal and constitutional responsibility to safeguard public funds.
Exactly. So let’s keep the majorities in the House and Senate, and the WH.
Don’t give them any money. Just move all those 80,000 IRS agents all across the country and have them manage all welfare. Do not let the states do it anymore. If they don’t like it, let them raise their own money.
AWFL poster girl.
Listening to Liar Raskin on the Jack Smith hearing, I’m reminded of the old saw, “If you have the facts on your side pound the facts, if you don’t pound the table.”
A lot of table pounding going on.
And a vile attempt to whitewash Smith’s crimes.
Republicans did very little to support J6ers and Trump….another pitiful hearing. Sure getting tired of this charade.
I so agree.
I truly believe that this is a huge part of the money stream for the left. Another more hidden USAID. I think Doge found it and it is now being brought out to stem the flow of funds b/4 the midterms and to attack the deficit in the future. The numbers are to mindboggling otherwise. Fix this leak and I can see doing away with Income taxes.

Peter Schweizer who just came out with “The Invisible Coup” is on WarRoom this morning, talking about all of the Mexican officials who live full time in the US, and whose jobs are to further the interests of Mexico and of Mexicans in America.
He didn’t mention this but I suddenly wondered if that’s part of what happened to our ailing justice system. It seems more important than ever to limit the people who sit in judgment of Americans to actual American citizens with solely American citizenship.
the drug cartels have a very significant influence over american politics and american justice. There are many big blue cities that are totally controlled by cartel money. Many of these anti-ICE people are paid cartel foot soldiers. I hate to say it, but this isn’t new either. Likely decades in the making while everyone looked the other way (for a fee of course).
Yes, they mentioned the influence of the cartels.
This has been the direction since the change in our immigration laws in the 60s, and completely inevitable since we began unconstitutionally giving American citizenship to babies born on American soil or related territory to those who had stolen in. This trend started in 1982-83 and spread from California to other states, Texas I think was the last holdout.
President Trump signed an EO on Day One to stop this illegality, but a red state should immediately stop giving this undue reward for the parents’ criminal behavior. Immediately.
TODAY. YESTERDAY.
Does the left ever make sense.
I know quite a few people, most of whom work at local carpet mills, who keep a laminated photocopy of their visa cards in their wallets at all times. Significantly, the companies for whom they work do not hire anyone who is undocumented, but they get raided from time to time anyway.
When driving from Texas to California, we brought our passport cards with us – and had need to use them.

I haven’t paid any attention to that dope Gavin Newsome, but his 2028 handlers are pushing him into many national and international spotlights recently to see if he’s viable. The one thing his exposure has done is raise questions about whether this dude is a straight white male (like he pretends to be) or some other flavor. He presents himself like a boy-lover. He has that same vibe Obama has and it ain’t straight male in my view. Something is off about this guy besides that fact that his state is imploding and about to float-off to China.
Maybe someone will write a book after Newsome wins the WH in 2028……
He is clearly on drugs, illegal or otherwise.
And just to be clear, he is impaired by his addiction.
Sent to all three of my driving grands, one here and two at university.
Along with a severe warning from me…
And THIS…😎
All y’all be safe out there 🙏🏻 💕
Thanks BJ!.
Number 11. See rule 1.
Rules 3 and 6 are my every-time-I-get-in-a-car-SOP.
You bet, sis 💕
It’s always other people who don’t know or understand these rules who can turn everybody else’s worlds upside down.
#1 cannot be repeated often enough.
#11 ad infinitum 👍🏻
Betsy, I can’t compete with your rules! They are excellelt!
I wonder if my “friend” Gibbs, has rules for driving in snow…?
Ha!!! Very probably, girl.
There is a rule for everything…
But almost always an exception…
Almost 😉💕
I vote for #10.
Especially after >100 car pile up in Michigan just a few days ago.
The last 3 times I was at work I had to drive home in it, I could have invoked #10…but then I realized, I am not home!!!!
And hoping and praying for very safe commutes and travels, for all those who will be affected.
May the Gods of the Heat Pumps be with you.
May your pipes not freeze.
May the power lines hold.
May the car battery hold its charge…
May you have already stocked up on bread and milk….and toilet paper….
All of it, sis….
Amen 🙏🏻
My No. 1 rule, ‘If a car could come around the corner/over the bridge, pull out of a yard…etc, it will’.
That’s ’saved me so many times’.
Then there’s the one my driving instructor taught me, ‘the problem in front of you will solve itself’ (especially useful tailing tractors towing 30ft ploughs, or potato picking machines.
Another good rule – if they want the road, let them have it.
I have avoided 3 head-on collisions in the last 13 years or so by just letting them have the road in my lane. That saved my life 3 times, my sister’s twice, a family friend once, and about 8 baby goats. I’m good at avoiding the oncoming traffic by 4-6 inches on the left and the ditch on the right by about the same amount.
From back in the day when they were all RWD, and Firestone would “pay the tow” …
Getting a car moving is easy. Getting them to stop is the hard part.
Driving a motor vehicle in snow is like piloting a boat. Anyone who has operated a boat will understand.
Nothing ever stops on a dime in the water. You are constantly managing drifting and momentum, and always plan on a wide berth.
Drive your car in the snow like a boat, and you’ll be far less likely to hit things.
Nothing scarier than trying to slow down with absolutely no traction, Oldersoul.
Unless its someone else headed at speed in your direction.
true.
the citizens of Minnesota, and North Dakota, and even Chicagoland understand that
and drive pretty ok in the snow.
i remember being on an eight lane highway between Minneapolis and St. Paul in a near white-out snowstorm.
lots of cars on the road, single file, spaced responsibly, going 20-25 mph, no passing, no speeders.
it was wild!
in Indiana on I-65, another story.
got caught in a true ice storm, going 20 mph,
cars just falling off the sides of the road into the median or shoulder through no fault of their own.
road absolutely coated in ice.
luckily made it, was FWD, but i could use lower gears as needed.
when in Raleigh, people have the righteous common sense to stay home
if snow is predicted or wet roads with temps below freezing
(that’s black ice time, which you CANNOT see, which is why it’s so dangerous),
because they know they don’t do well in those rare conditions.
but i frequently see a problem nowadays with lots of “new” drivers
from Central and South America, or the Middle East, or the Caribbean
who are clueless when the weather is good ( 😆 ),
let alone snow and ice.
THAT’s what you have to look out for,
and that’s why even if YOU are experienced with those conditions,
better to just stay home and out of reach of the fools.
your fancy AWD Hummer is of no help when somebody else crashes into you with theirs.
stay safe, OS, and btw, do you think that’s part of the reason people used to call
the really BIG cars “land yachts” ? 😂
“New” drivers with CDLs, terrifying.
In Kane County, IL, just west of the city….they don’t plow the roads until the last snowflake has fallen…
Yikes.
“…i remember being on an eight lane highway between Minneapolis and St. Paul in a near white-out snowstorm.

One winter the weather was really bad and my husband and I had to drive from Duluth to St. Paul down Interstate 35.
The road hadn’t been plowed yet and the snow was literally rubbing the bottom of our car as we slowly drove along.
There were only two narrow tracks that went almost the entire 150 miles south that day, and one by one we all stayed in those tracks — no one even tried to speed by.
At least that’s one good thing Minnesotans have going for us, we sometimes do the right thing while trying to get home safely.
Judgement these days seems to have left the room.
Around here, no one knows how to drive in snow. While I was trying to inch my way home, I found myself at the top of a short hill and wondered why there seemed to be a line of cars parked beside the road. Then, the car in front of me started down, started to slide, hit his brakes, and wound up sliding neatly beside the other cars. I was next. I started down, started to slide, didn’t hit the brakes, and soon was on my way.
One of the problems is the 4WD that allows people to go faster, but going faster means longer stopping times. It also means if you skid off a road you will be farther from the road surface, which means your frame hung up and higher towing fees.
I grew up and live in Northern Wisconsin and have plenty of experience in snow and ice. We learned on frozen lakes by deliberately skidding vehicles in open areas. Pretty soon handling skids was instinct not thinking. I also drive a 4WD but slow down. My thinking is no matter how much longer it takes me to get home it will be much sooner than going in the ditch or having an accident, or never getting home at all.

This particular weather system is confounding the digital models. Even just two days away, they’re not certain what it will actually do, and where. The system itself is unstable, and there are surrounding powerful pressure-systems that could push it around in almost any direction.

THANK YOU Betsy jones
So welcome, quinn 👍🏻
(Ugh…. and then emergency services have to get out. I pray we will see none of this this go round 🙏🏻)
I would tell my kids all the time, and still do — It’s not your driving ability that I’m worried about — it’s all the other idiots out there. (I was lying a little bit on the first part).
On a loop with us, Charles. Because it’s true 👍🏻
Same with ours…I think they got it 😂
Thank you very much! Your counsel is equally simple and important.
Welcome, Dan…
For this one thing at least, we are truly all in this together.
Right?
Yessiree😉👍🏻
And 12 is to keep a safe distance from trucks, they can go sideways fast and take a lot longer to stop. Not just Semis but all the straight or boxtrucks as well. I drove a box truck in Minneapolis for 25 years and never had an accident in the snow. I had some very close calls by inept drivers but thank the Lord I escaped. I dreaded snow storms and my blood pressure was always high during them. Now I look out the window and enjoy watching the snow.
My British husband who has taught many to drive…cars, buses, big trucks..and himself a driver of all three over long distances including the European continent, has always driloed into our grands to keep themselves far behind the larger vehicles and not behind them. Rather in a position so the operators of these beasts can see them in their side mirrors.
Disagree, with 10. It should read Seriously, if you understand how bad everyone else drives in the snow and ice, you should not be comfortable and stay home. Growing up in the great white north (Michigan), I learned when I move to the DC and Texas that they have no clue on how to drive in snow. Everyone else is dangerous. So…….see rule 1 and stay at home.
Hubby and I grew up in Minnesota and thought we knew about driving in snow.
Then one of my sisters moved to Marquette, Michigan.
I think she said their usual snowfall per year was over 100″.
There were a few times when we were the ONLY people driving on 28/41 between Superior, Wisconsin and Marquette due to the heavy snowfall. Hubby kept his foot on the gas, not going fast, but not wanting to get stuck in the deep snow, and stayed in the middle of the trees on both sides, since the road was gone!
Michigan truly is the great white north!
If you haven’t been on the UP’s North shore of Lake Superiors in winter you haven’t experienced deep snow. Houghton, Hancock, Ishpeming, Negaunee and Marquette.
For sure.
It is a fabulously beautiful winter wonderland.
There has to be an A) and B) to #9, Betsy.
Yeah, that big block of snow you left on your car?
A) It is now a “Death Race 2000” weapon, and will fly off your car into the state trooper behind you, or
B) It will become a huge pile of snow on YOUR windshield that you will be unable to see through or around if you need to slam on your breaks for any reason.
Ask me how I know. . .
Don’t need to ask, Raven 😎
I watched a video of many people pouring boiling water on the or ice covered windscreens…
I need to say no more.
Also 😎
Been there, done that too. It’s scary. Fortunately I was stopped at a light.
I was on a clover leaf getting off the highway, thinking there was no one on the road I was going onto.
But unlike the drivers of today that do not bother to check the lane they are going into, I still turned my head and looked to the left before actually moving that way.
And there it was, a semi truck at my back bumper, barreling down the road.
That’s when I learned that if you slam on your breaks all the snow on the top of your car will be on your windshield and you won’t be able to see a thing in front of you.
Yes, that was scary, and from that time forward I never drove anywhere without first pushing all the snow off the top of my car.
I’d guess after being scared, even at a stop light, you probably do the same thing.
I read up until “the snow gods” and scrolled past….
One is better than none.
Indiana RINO legislators have failed in their duty to fight like heck against Dem fraud and electoral corruption by not redistricting as we in Texas have done and which as been adjudicated constitutional.
Paid off?
Not accusing…just seriously wondering.

Corruption and treachery pays very well, doesn’t it…
But what price his honour and his soul?
The Man in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father or mother, or wife,
Whose judgment upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest.
For he’s with you clear to the end,
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

The election fraud allowed the financial fraud, Team Trump are following the latter, which will lead to the former. Once election fraud is as undeniable as the financial variety then the whole game changes. The Democrats come out to play baseball and find they’re on a football field.
I think now it won’t be the Mid-terms, but terms of surrender being discussed as the minority of a minority, who’ve been in control fraudulently, are exposed, and their true numbers revealed. Watching Davos I got the distinct feeling that the Globalists know they’ve lost and are preparing to jump into the lifeboats and sail away to their waiting luxury yachts, to watch the The SS Progressive’s last hours. They certainly won’t be getting ready to rescue any survivors, they’ll leave that to us and our consciences.
Then we’re back to 1945 and the question, asked of the millions of surviving apparatchiks will be, just how much did you know, just how much did you do?. To determine their fate. Trump’s announcement to build mental asylums is I think a warning for the future, as millions of cultists have their existential beliefs crushed before them.
Lemon has just been charged with seven others.
!!!!!
Don Lemon has not been charged in connection with the Minnesota church protest.
A federal magistrate judge in Minnesota refused to sign a complaint bringing charges against him, according to multiple sources cited by CBS News and Raw Story.
While the Justice Department, including Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has publicly warned Lemon and suggested potential charges under the FACE Act or Ku Klux Klan Act, no charges have been filed against him as of January 22, 2026.
The corrupt Judicial system in that State will continue to protect lawbreakers, and will continue to share generously in the billions of dollars in corruption that they have agreed to protect. Your salary as a judge is small potatoes by comparison to what you can not-so secretly rake in by ruling the “right” way.
Hannity says 95% of the FBI and DOJ are hard working, honest patriots. The real number is likely 5%. Blonde and Dhillion and others have staffs of people that won’t be positioning the DOJ to win any of these cases. They might file them, but in a way that almost guarantees dismissal.
……..and the GOP was gonna rein-in the out of control federal judges and courts (back in April). The courts seem unconcerned about the GOP gas-bagging on Fox News……
After reading that sydney message,
does anyone want to revisit

arriving at a Pa. post office -with ballots –
after the election, and post marked as election day,
and had a video of the event?
( then got visited a day later by someone, then silence / internet scrubbing occurred etc. )
I do not know
if you’re implying the DOJ and FBI might have been deeply involved in the 2020 Steal, they most certainly were. If you’re wondering if the GOP was involved in the 2020 Steal, they most certainly were. Many state GOPs also were as we saw in AZ and GA, just for starters. Trump had to be stopped at all costs and he was.
Trump is now trying to get these same people to pass election reforms legislatively. Good luck with that
Rudy et al came to Arizona and conducted a documentation hearing with a long line of eyewitnesses (10 hours iirc) which has been scrubbed from youtube so IDK how to share it – BUT…
*all* will be revealed – evidence was gathered in hearings in every dirty state almost immediately following the steal.
Pray Gratitude for Rudy’s impervious security… God is So Good.

“ This lawsuit is truly one of the most important lawsuits in modern medical history.
The lawsuit is essentially exposing to the world that the emperor (the AAP) has no clothes (“scientific evidence”).
This lawsuit marks the first serious legal challenge to the AAP’s long-standing public claims and forces them into formal evidentiary review.
If the court rules against the AAP, the implications will be far-reaching and likely trigger additional scrutiny across the industry.
The requested declaratory relief would make clear to the public that many widely repeated statements were not supported by the evidence presented.
You can only shield a narrative from accountability for so long.”

Watching JD Vance speaking at a press conference with many ICE officers behind him … and taking questions from the press
I’m really impressed with his ability to speak for 5 minutes without any hesitation or stumbling or “ummm”s
Speaks to his intellect and his ability to address and answer the public and the press
… to me at least

So pretty, I wish I was there…
I want to give USAG Bondi the benefit of the doubt for President Trump’s sake, but stories like this don’t help at all.
Source Note – IMHO Liz Wheeler has historically been pretty spot-on with her investigative reporting. I discovered her during Trump’s first term 7 years ago doing an excellent evening show on on OANN. She departed from OANN in 2020 to become an independent video journalist for a few years, then in June 2024 she joined Glenn Beck’s Blaze Media to become the host of a nightly news & opinion TV / streaming video show under her own name.
She’s been out to get Bondi from Day one!
I don’t think she’s fabricating these stories. I’m starting to see corroboration pop up in different places.
I understand people who support Trump, including me, do not want to spread fallacious stories that are intended to divide MAGA. But one cannot deny that there has been an awfully strange lack of prosecutions and arrests and revelations about all the official criminals who participated in the efforts to remove Donald Trump from the presidency, and to look the other way, as millions upon, millions of illegal immigrants poured into this country, and to expedite the printing of 1 trillion more dollars just to facilitate mostly Democrat schemes and NGO’s and absolute fraudulent scans of government welfare programs. There’s a target rich environment for a US AG to start snatching these criminals from their offices from the streets from wherever they are and getting them indicted. I don’t know what Bodie‘s been doing, and we have heard a few good things, like the rest of some of the ice riders in Minneapolis. But those ice riders are small potatoes, tiny potatoes, compared to the monsters that are roaming around DC and in boardrooms and then state capitals who have defrauded this country multiple times.
This post was interrupted multiple times by a Trojan horse scan virus that only appears when I’m in CTH. I haven’t been able to effectively block it even with Brave.
I tried to edit the post due to many serious word changes that auto spell implemented when I hit the post button.
For example, “ice riders” was entered and should read, “ICE rioters” in two places.
This web site seems to be targeted heavily some days and not at all on other days. I’ve seen others post similar problems. I don’t think there’s anything CTH admin can do about it. The problems not with CTH website software.

So true. Every day I’m grateful for what President Trump is doing for our country.
Coming sooner than later:
BioClandestine…..For those saying none of it matters until high-profile people are arrested, I’ve got news for ya.
The big fish are very likely going to be last, for optics reasons.
If you think that replacing Bondi is going to somehow make high-profile arrests happen faster, you’re mistaken. In fact it would be the opposite. It would slow us down and undo our progress.
You must understand that we are on a timeline, and the American People must see some things before they see former Presidents and high-profile politicians under arrest. These are not normal circumstances. This process must be surgical and controlled.

The question is will Home First Choice do anything about her or do they support her threatening video!!!!???? She should be fired she’s a psycho b…h!!! Wouldn’t want her giving care to anyone who supports President Trump, that excludes a lot of people in Ohio!!!

Better to LEARN to stay healthy. Optimal robust health is deliberately created –

Jealousy is a horrible thing, almost as bad as TDS.
In the Jack Smith hearing today the republicans just about hit it on the head but they missed.
It was brought up that democrats go out and say all kinds of crazy s__t without any ramifications but PDJT can’t? JS clearly stated that his logic centered on Trump knowingly said things he knew to be false, thus constituting fraud against the American people.
Isn’t that what democrats do every time they speak?
Jack Smith exists from: “Put Donald Trump In Prison,” no matter what the “reason” why.
In this case, after obviously rigging the election, they wanted to put Donald Trump in prison for saying so. Because, if they could have done so, Donald Trump would not once again be where he is right now.
Because we know that we stole the election, and because we know that what he said was true, we will now seek to use the Judicial (sic …) system that we control to “say that he knew that what he was saying was false” (because we said so … and …
P-u-t … D-o-n-a-l-d … T-r-u-m-p … i-n … p-r-i-s-o-n … where he can then “meet with a most unfortunate but un-investigated ‘accident.'”
