I said a few days ago, “with DNI Tulsi Gabbard putting strategic pressure from the inside, and We The People putting accountability pressure from the outside, this Deep State intelligence nut just might begin to crack. In fact, I might even argue that cracking is exactly what we are starting to see.”
Today, we see evidence of just that; perhaps even the first signs that John Ratcliffe is on board. Perhaps.
The context here is important. Within the larger administrative state network: CNN is the preferred PR firm of the State Dept.; the CIA use The Washington Post; the FBI use Politico and the New York Times; the DOJ use the New York Times and Wall Street Journal; while the control lawfare embeds within the domestic IC spread their narrative distribution to the NYT, WSJ and Politico depending on the context.
When we see the Washington Post contracting, shrinking or otherwise limited in their activity, we can be confident the feeder system from the CIA is subsequently diminishing. If the CIA was operating at full narrative weapon capacity, the Washington Post newsroom would be bustling. The opposite is also true, although we have not seen much of that until recently. So, that’s the context:
WASHINGTON – Washington Post CEO Will Lewis stepped down from his position on Saturday — throwing the prestigious Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper into further turmoil just days after the publication laid off some 300 staffers. The Washington Post announced that Lewis would be resigning effective immediately.
He was succeeded by Jeff D’Onofrio, the former Tumblr CEO who joined the newspaper this past June as its chief financial officer. D’Onofrio will assume the role of acting publisher and CEO.
Lewis framed his departure as the culmination of a difficult but necessary transformation, saying “now is the right time for me to step aside” after two years leading The Washington Post. (more)
If we see CNN get sold to David Ellison and Paramount, that will indicate the Marco Rubio operation at the State Dept. has similarly been successful. Though I wouldn’t look too optimistically toward the NYT, Politico or WSJ because the DOJ and FBI leadership are still struggling to get their arms around it.
The diminishment of the Washington Post is a very good sign and should not be downplayed. However, a follow up note of caution always exists because the worst elements of the control state have signaled a shift, moving public opinion operations toward social media platforms and outlets.
The power of the Silicon Valley technocrats has already started enmeshing with the alure of political sway. As traditional media has lost all credibility, control operations need to adapt, modify and shift toward venues where stakeholder equity finds the greatest value. Larry Ellison has prepositioned his assets to be a strategic player in this regard.
Thus, we must not diminish our smile at noticing the cracks in the Intelligence Community, which are also represented in the apoplexy toward Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. So, we should call this Washington Post diminishment another good crack in the nut.


Inch-by-inch…. 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Slowly I turned…step by step. Inch by inch.
🤣🤣🤣😇🥰
Sorry, I just had to say it!
Over Niagara Falls…

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck…
Glacially at first. Then all at once.
I believe the intent is for the avalanche to start late-summer/early-fall and thereby secure the back-half of President Trump’s term with mid-term victories.
He’s the master at political planning so count on it happening. He also might bomb Iran during the Super Bowl.
The time difference to the Middle East is mostly 8 hours ahead of EST. For Iran it is +8:30.
I hope he uses accurate targeting equipment, because the Iranian population does not deserve another 48 years of despotic rule, because they are made angrier at the USA than they are at Khomeini. I would like to see Iran become an ally of ours because it is the only way the whole Middle East will ever become a decent place for normal people to live.
I wanted us to nuke Khomeini in the late 70s, but now I see a slim possibility of more civil behavior throughout the Middle East if we get it just right. Maybe President Trump is hoping for the same thing, but he has a lot more knowledge of the Middle East cesspool and I will trust his judgement, no matter what he decides.
Perhaps such action will occur after the Superbowl:

Moe! Larry! The Cheese!
Why I oughta…
Lots of things in play, what a time to be alive. And love the map lol.
“Anti-European Moat” delights.
I don’t think the WaPo eliminating completely its sports dept. as well as reducing their local news staff is evidence that we are succeeding in getting their Deep State Intelligentsia ties to crack.
Okay… 😂😂
I’ll take your opinion, without any justification for it over Sundance, who has been watching and evaluating these things for a very long time. And, who I must say, has never seemed too convinced that the deep-state would ever be cracked. Now, he believes there’s a slight glimmer of hope and you, with your critical thinking and deep analysis, think otherwise.
Okay… 🤣🤣🤣
Well said–LOL! 😉
the fact that none of my predictions has come true is merely proof of my farsightedness.
Hah…..! Indeed….!
Not discounting Sundance, but this Bezos move is bigger all around.
Amazon missed projected numbers by a good margin-affecting their price stock; Bezos space efforts have been honed to reach the moon rather than fancy flights over the planet and the announcement about WAPO. All announced in tandem.
It could very well be that multiple needs are coincidentally being dealt with simultaneously.
Big move to dump the Sports Section of any newspaper?!?
IMO: take a more macro view and ask the question…….What else might be going on for Bezos & Co,?
Pays attention in class: F
Don’t make me break out my “ruler”, Ron,
That is so 2 days ago.
Sundance tells us a CEO is gone today.
Think of it as an asset that has been burned, no longer useful. They are being provoked into changing tactics and methods, which involves risk of further exposure.
@ RJH
Exactly.
Where are they going?
Guessing they want their own Joe Rogan or Charlie Kirk,
Just watched a Movie from 2006 “Man of the Year” (Robin Williams). Predictive. A Zelensky like comedian becomes president! But, he’s not really President because a silicon valley tech company had a “glitch” with their spanking new voting machines. Heroic feminine whistle blower, is abused and slandered by globo corp, but saves the day, and the comedian does the right thing.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0483726/
Maybe they’ll try Al Franken again.
That didn’t work out so well…

he is such a d o g!!!
Where are they going?
You can bet the bank they aren’t sitting at home collecting unemployment.
They are losing control.
But they aren’t quitting.
baal worshippers have been in business since babylon.
📌
If the past is any indication, they are going to substack where the former WaPo readers will still follow them. Nobody normal read the WaPo anyway and they still won’t be normal over at substack. So expect a substack about how celebrity chefs marginalize lesbian midgets of color.
“The diminishment of the Washington Post is a very good sign and should not be downplayed.”
Dude literally did what?
If they are contracting, because the IC gravy train has been cut off, who do you think they fire first? The non-essential human interest stuff, or the people that actually butter the bread (at our expense, I must add)?
I bet they hold on to those clowns, with the hopes that there is a sea change and shift in the wind.
Yup. That exactly.
WaPoop will end up being nothing more than a tax write off for Bezos.
Oh and great map meme to close SD.
😆😁 Trumpland!
I don’t think Bezos has gotten what he wanted relative to the $Billion he’s lost on that investment.
He’s trimming the losses.
He paid $250 million and it is estimated he has lost 177 million.
He just closed his grocery stores. Tidying up the 1st qtr balance sheet. Bye bye Post.
And he will retain the government contracts that allowed him to buy it in the first place.
I liked the Moat against Europe better.
The map of the western hemisphere is geographically brilliant!
Saved.
JMO.
“The IC nut is cracking”.
Yup.
Everyday, Americans get to watch in real time, President Trump’s plan to reshape the political battlefield for 2026 / 2028.
It includes the genius move by our President Trump to defund the “national democrat / RINO, communist party in the USA” by, not just reducing, but eliminating, the dark money secreted away by the Executive Branch’s intelligent agencies over the past 8 decades that have been used to take full control of the “national democrat / RINO communist party in the USA.”
First came the D.O.G.E. removal of their USAID domestic dark piggybank of annual Continued Resolution (CR) funds.
Then came, using the tariffs, returning to the USA’s treasury the unconstitutional CIA’s foreign cash caches from Europe, Japan and South Korea to the tune of $1.5 trillion.
Everyday, Americans get to watch in real time, President Trump’s reshaping of the political battlefield for 2026 / 2028.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Most wars are always won on logistics.
Outside observers focus on the battles.
General Trump is cutting off the enemies’ supply lines while the whiners complain about not having any big victories.
The enemies are collapsing. You just have to know where to look.
There’s a line in the movie Broadcast News where Holly Hunter’s boss says to her something like this in a snarky way: “It must be nice to be right all the time.” And she replies, “No, it’s not!”
That’s you, Sundance. God bless, and I get it too. Please, take good care of yourself. You’re not alone here because you are loved and appreciated in this treehouse you’ve created.
Every word of that video is truth. Reasons why treehouses get built… ☺️
And stand against all storms, threats foreign and domestic!
Got into a rhetorical exchange at church last Sunday with someone who had not heard of the massive child abuse going on in the Southern Baptist churches. “Ah, yeah, you heard it on the internet. Well, there’s lots of stuff on the internet.” People are stupid and this is why we are doomed.
Does it eclipse the homosexuality and child abuse in the Roman/Catholic church?
Asking for a friend…..
No, but it seems so over-the-top it seems engineered.
frank zappa’s 1979 album joe’s garage has a song “catholic girl”in it is a line.(in the rectory basement fr. riley’s a fairy).i went to catholic school in the 70’s we had a fr. tom .he was our fr.riley.
Yawn.
I was a victim of a fr. tom!
How can one possibly know that and why does it matter?
This video is true. My daughter has tested off the charts. She finds many things like school boring, not inspirational, too simple or people don’t understand her. One of the few things she has listened to me about was when she expressed this reality to me my response to her was “moving forward in life your state of being is going to be reflected by how you manage disappointment.” Maybe she had already thought that and I showed her that we think on the same level sometimes? Not sure but she was different after that.
I read and read and read. My third grade teacher had to go out to the Bookmobile and tell them to reach down any book on the bus. I used my library card, my mom’s library card and my sister’s library card (limit 6 for a week). I never had a library book returned late.
So thats why I have no friends! Dang.
“Oh, you’re a right-winger, we don’t want to talk about politics.”
My son says my grand daughter learns more on her phone than she does at school.
You have your fellow treepers
I agree with some of the video, although I find a disciplined application of humor and/or music and/or song lyrics to be useful in reaching those I call the semi-sentient, who might have a few neurons waking up.
So, I like to create short songs with familiar melodies that capture a sense of what people are on the edge of awareness of. And, I almost always manage to come with something either witty or wittily scathing.
Also, if you never got any of the Covid shots, it’s very commonly useful to express that in conversation to get a sense of whether the folks you’re dealing with are sheep. Let them know that they can trust you to look at craziness evil and maintain your sense of right and wrong.
Sundance, you have these subtle ways of showing what PDJT is going through, while he exposes the left. Trump uses trial balloons a lot of the time, e.g., Greenland. He is the man for these times. He is subtly weaning the EU off the forever-enduring Marshall Plan, increasing NATO contributions, and cutting through the tariff issue like no other. He is doing the same on other domestic issues, such as Birthright Citizenship and the SAVE Act. He can take the heat. His Mother and Father prepared him for this journey… God Bless them!
Well stated, Bird. We have a very stable genius as our President, and a very stable genius as our Conservative Treehouse leader. Aren’t we fortunate!? Have a wonderful Sunday.
Yes intelligence, but also what you watch, listen to and read. A full diet of Candace, Tucker, Epstein, Mike Adams, the theft and bifurcation of Judaism by some diabolical people will isolate you. Not to mention child trafficking, pedophilia, corrupt elected leaders, and more. Still hard to forget what the world’s leaders did to us during the lockdowns. The Epstein files is more of the same. My safe place is Psalm one. Don’t walk with the wicked or sit in the seat of a scoffer, but delight on God’s love, his law, & knowledge ther will be a day of righteous judgement & reward. Life the good life y’all with humility in the Lord.
Thank you, Sundance. .
@AdRem or @Sundance
How is this person allowed to have the same username as mine?
Because the person has a different email address?
That is what I would like verified. Worried me that I may have been hacked. Thank you MainCoon.
I appreciate very much this interesting…and accurate…short clip.
But as I am not on X I don’t know if the whole 17 minutes was available…
So I searched and found it on Youtube, and I will leave it here for those like me who want to hear more but haven’t subscribed.
(Unfortunately, it is accompanied by an annoying, throbbing background visual which I avoided by listening only. Having said that, I dare say the man in it reminds me of someone we all know and love, at least the backside view of him…so there’s that 😎 )
As someone who spends a lot of me-time by choice & finding it peaceful… alone does not necessarily equal loneliness.
However, most people are uncomfortable with & struggle… needing & chasing the distraction of others to pacify & escape themselves.
So for those who may have recently just awakened to the illusions that surround us, a/o finding more time being alone- this might be helpful…
“… in this video which reveals a psychological awakening. This social commentary is a meditation told with dark humor explaining why so many of us feel broken in a world built on illusions. This is a brutally honest look at the human condition, mixing introspection, self-improvement, and radical honesty with a kind of comedic despair only modern life can produce.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not actually depressed, you just saw through the lie, this video explores why that realization is both terrifying and liberating. We dig into meaning, identity, emotional exhaustion, societal expectations, spiritual detachment, and what “healing” really means when the system itself is sick.”
| You’re Not Depressed, You Just Saw Through The Lie |
cool unexpected mind impact
How funny. I was just this morning thinking about this specifically, CM….alone vs lonely. And as with you, I have grown to prefer being alone, which is just as well as my family is far away and getting further.
I am now going to watch and listen…
Thank you.
This sums up my life to a T. I’ve been trying to slow walk some people into the light, but I’m careful who I choose. Most people I don’t even bother with because they act and think exactly as that video portrays.
Ecclesiastes 1 v 16-18
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
https://biblehub.com/kjv/ecclesiastes/1.htm
Even though one may be alone, you’re never really alone if you have Jesus🙏 Being alone is how you charge your battery…. alone in your skin is an art in itself. Faith not Fear.
Red Pill a normal person against their will and make an enemy for life. Look for the doubters, feed em a bit of truth, see how they react. Invite them in if they want more.
This is me, I finally understand
Excellent. One aspect of this is confidence. Confidence comes from knowing. Knowing is intelligence. Confident people like PDJT are disliked and alone in a sense as the video describes. “He’s a know it all”. “He thinks he’s right all the time”.
As a youngster I was an avid reader, observer, and artist that saw things differently. All I got was ridicule. The video is eerily right. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen those rooms.
As an adult I have learned that trying to “tell” people things is counterproductive. Puting what I want to convey out there as questions, helps with interacting and engaging people to where they realize I want to know their deeper thoughts. Then I listen.
Unfortunately, for the reasons stated, The Treehouse is that intelligent person in the room that most will not listen to. There is a lesson here for Sundance. If he wants his information to be spread more widely he needs a “dumbed down” version for the masses. That is why the low information voter is the way they are, they are the people in the room laughing and joking and ignoring the intelligent one.
Does that make sense?
It makes some sense, but Sundance should never dumb down his work. It would diminish it. After President Trump was elected the first time, I loudly told a room full of my friends that Russia Russia was a hoax and was met with derision and laughter. Now I’m labeled as the one who knows everything. I haven’t seen any of these people in 5 years and I’m fine with it. I don’t try to convince anyone now. I just try to keep my close family informed. Sundance keeps me informed and I’ve never thought of myself as intelligent, just very curious.
Alan W. Watts, I presume? The author of “The Wisdom of Insecurity,” “This Is It,” “In My Own Way,” “Cloud Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown, ” & many, many others. Highly recommended.
I won’t be satisfied until Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers are all unemployed. Their TDS makes them boring and unwatchable.
I don’t include Fallon because he actually tells jokes in his monologue that have nothing to do with Trump, and his guests are NOT nonstop hatefests.
Unless they rolled out still surviving stars from yesteryear I wouldn’t recognize any of Fallon’s guests. As Arthur Spooner says, “it’s a youngman’s game”.
I remember the first time I picked up a People Magazine after a decade of being out of the country and not knowing one person in it. That was the day the music died.
Too funny! My experience as well and IO haven’t left the country…still don’t know who these “very important” people are. It’s amazing what self-promotion will get you in the glossies!
So true, with all these look at me I’m special award shows, I find I know just about no one, and when they speak I know why.
Full disclosure, I don’t watch them and can’t remember ever doing so. As such any “knowledge” of the event comes from print.
That’s the way I felt when someone mentioned “Bad Bunny” is playing the Stooper Bowl halftime show.
Evidently he’s the largest grossing concert act, at this point in time.
Never heard of him before the lead-up to the Super-Woke Bowl.
My wife has noticed a definite satanic vibe to the latest halftime acts. We’ve seen portions of past performances.
Kind of creepy, to say the least.
They interviewed some some of the football players, they were asked in knew any Bad Bunny songs. they couldn’t name any songs.
Who?
So true!
This week I accidentally opened a mis-directed People magazine from a neighbor down the street.
Before dropping it in their mailbox, I thumbed through it and hardly knew anyone!
Territory of the United States instead of The 51st State. Non-voting Congressional seats just like Guam, Puerto Rico, etc…
We can’t afford to give the Conmunist Racist Demoncrats anymore seats.
at this moment in history, and considering the abysmal failur and outright thievery of our so called elections…
the kommies aren’t ‘given’ seats, they and duhminion overtly steal them – all in broad daylight
Or PAY for them.
Amen, except for Alberta to join the USA hopefully. 👍
Can we trade Minnesota for Alberta?
Every time I see that idiotic license plate from DC “taxation without representation” I think that no place on earth has more representation than DC. We don’t need any more dependent territories.
No Quebec!

Great news that the Washington Pest is imploding.
This glimmer of hope is producing exciting times.
it may be time for Tulsi to wear multiple hats, like Rubio and Bessent.
Let the cleaning begin.
Tusi’s hat is already bigger than Rubio’s and Bessent’s hats both put together.

“When we see the Washington Post contracting, shrinking or otherwise limited in their activity, we can be confident the feeder system from the CIA is subsequently diminishing. If the CIA was operating at full narrative weapon capacity, the Washington Post newsroom would be bustling.”
Some believe the CIA continues operating at “full narrative weapon capacity” via the supra-system that rose from Mockingbird origins, not limited to the WaPo but rather manipulating points spread throughout most of commercial media – even fed by “news” event creation as well.
In this view, the contraction of WaPo does not diminish the CIA’s influence at all.
Rather, the WaPo situation itself is a perfect example of high-profile events serving veiled “nudging” goals by manipulating forces including the CIA itself.
Here, the obscenely rich narcissist oligarch and self-indulgent wife, ruthlessly tossing powerless debt serfs produced by woke indoctrination in a failing nation that offers them nothing but a hard fall to rock bottom, and the highly-publicized theater of this drama continuing the anxiety-stoking of American zeitgeist.
Win-win: The psychopathic oligarch’s greed produces yet another burst of social distress adding to the downward impetus playing out 24-7 on mass media theater for all to see.
Some have mocked the brainwashed young debt serfs protesting their rude awakening by WaPo firings, in severe distress facing a steep fall in a hostile corrupt society. Try some empathy instead.
The managed decline of America requires many parts coordinated for overall results. Mass anxiety is one. The parade of events in media serves to drive this. The CIA is likely “nudging” much of this.
This is what the young debt serfs are facing as they are summarily tossed from WaPo:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/young-americas-affordability-crisis-has-political-consequences
Managed, deliberate, & intentional…
Another plausible intent of this particular theater:
Pretending that the WaPo implosion means that the CIA is in retreat.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yes, they just splintered the blob into a million pieces. Like that stuff the kids play with and no parent wants in their home.
The “blob” itself is steered, and it is called “the blob” because it is amorphous, infused throughout government, and cannot be “splintered”.
No worries…the “blob” has a lot of help from the other “eyes” around the world.
300 WaPo will not all be rehired into some single organization, I take it. Unless they all go back to the CIA.
Being a “debt slave” is a choice, but few have the understanding or discipline to avoid it. I have a 25 y.o. close relative who at 20 saved pizza delivery money until he could put a down payment on a very small, not very nice house, rather than pay rent. He spends only what he earns on his modest blue collar trade school job while saving every penny to buy his next, much nicer house. We’re debt slaves because we choose convenience over discipline. I was one, but learned my lesson.
I’m ready to downsize into a well-insulated travel trailer. Maybe I can just be freeze-dried.
“Debt serfs.”
Lol
Unless you were being sarcastic (I may be opaque but I’m not dense).
Your post reads like a Marxist’s fever dream.
I like Eastwood’s take from The Outlaw: Josey Wales better:
COL Fletcher: “You said my men would be treated fairly.”
Governor Lane: “ They were treated fairly. They were fairly fed, then they were fairly killed. We have a saying here in Kansas: ‘To the victor belongs the spoils.’”
Which leads to the money quote from Fletcher: “ We have another saying in Missouri: ‘Don’t p*ss down my back and tell me it’s raining.’”
Jeff Bezos has been trying to get close to President Trump since the election paying $75 million for the movie about Melania. In addition, Amazon AWS has been awarded several billion dollar contracts to provide cloud services to federal agencies. I can see Bezos agreeing to sell the Washington Post to Elon Musk & Co.
Maybe the IC is attaching itself to the NFL 😆
Not For Long…
The “circuses” part of “bread and circuses”?
DELUSIONAL: Former Washington Post Editor Suggests Paper’s Problems Come From Going Too Soft on Trump (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance
The total meltdown of the left over the recent layoffs at the Washington Post continue to prove that the media class just doesn’t get what’s happening.
On PBS, they brought on former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron to analyze the paper’s problems. To hear Baron tell it, the paper’s problem is that they just haven’t been hard enough on Trump, which is laughable.
Over the last decade, the paper has gone from being just plainly liberal to downright bonkers. They have embraced and promoted every anti-Trump story they could, no matter how unfounded. They destroyed their own reputation.
Transcript via NewsBusters:
BARON: And then I think he really became — took a real turn after it looked like Trump was going to be elected president yet again. And that was in 2024. And 11 days before the presidential election in 2024, they killed an editorial for — that was endorsing Kamala Harris. He said the paper wouldn’t endorse ever again for president.
https://share.google/Elv1FEzsem3IBvPLE
Though I always thought the WaPo had great sports and metro sections. They used to also have an “ombudsman” who actually analyzed some of the paper’s shortcomings. Wasn’t a subscriber though as I was living in Annapolis MD at the time and you could only get the “three dot” edition there (under the masthead there was an indication with periods as to what print run your paper was. The three dot wouldn’t have any late sports stories in it). So I would buy the paper in town. In those days you could actually buy a physical paper.
I found it better in general than the “Sun Paper” (seemed to be what locals called the Baltimore Sun).
Or maybe from this sort of lunacy?
Bull’s eye, Betsy. This exactly the kind of nonsense that killed it.
I cannot imagine living day in day out in their world.
I once heard meekness described as quiet strength.
That’s Tulsi.
She is the only true America Firster in the cabinet.
Looking forward to the IC and various others getting their nuts crushed.
OUTSTANDING TAKE SUNDANCE!
I’ve been of the opinion for quite some time that Ratcliffe’ obvious non-presence in this theatrical drams is due to the fact that he’s guarding the proverbial henhouse (PDJT Admin), while the wolves continue to attack the fence (ODNI Gabbard) searching for vulnerabilities, while the farmer with the shotgun (DOJ/Rubio) lies in wait to react if it becomes necessary.
You are also very correct in cautioning us to not take a victory lap yet as this battle is far from over. This said, you can clearly see that the IC is more concerned now than they have been in decades. While they have not conceded, they know they are on the ropes & are running out of realistic options.
Agreed. No one has ever stood up to the IC actors before, this is all new to them.
Hopefully they make critical mistakes in their zeal to shut down the sunlight cracking thru…the rushing of the many players with little coronation…trying to save their own skin …could be the very act that cuts off ones own head… God uses people to purpose his Will…all acts meant for ill, meant for harm against God’s children , ( can be formed) but not used…IF We Ask.. we have not , because we ask not… I’m asking for Lots lately..
Like the bully in the school yard when someone finally challenges them successfully!
And WTP, at least some of us, are waking up!
Social Media is akin to a market place, where rival ideas jostle and compete, people have real choice and success is determined by popularity, reputation and utility. The IC are used to owning a mall where all the different shops inside sell products made by a handful of companies they have controlling interests in. This is why there’s such an emphasis on digital regulation, they know that in the free market place they will struggle to maintain the societal purchase they once had.
A short walk from Pentagon City in the Underground Crystal City Metro (not cheap real estate), never saw any customers in the store.
Puppet Heaven, located at 1750 Crystal Drive in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia, is the Washington area’s only dedicated puppet store.
Opened in 1996 as La Marionette by Alban Odoulamy, a puppeteer originally from Benin, the shop has been a fixture in the underground mall for nearly three decades. Odoulamy, a formally trained marionette artist, has offered a unique blend of puppetry supplies, collectibles, and hands-on demonstrations, fostering a passionate community around the craft.

Color me pleasantly surprised if Trey Gowdy’s best buddy “Johnny” Ratcliffe has flipped and is now “on board.”
Love the new map! 🤣😂
Crack in the nut – and right below it is an ad with a person clutching their groin with a big blotchy red spot over it – old style pain symbol.
Love the graphic! 😂😂
A crack in the nut? From a kick in the balls?
Isn’t it also nice that these propaganda organizations are not banging the drums of war!
I must say though, it is like that nut commercial. The nuts keep crawling out of the woodwork!
“He was succeeded by Jeff D’Onofrio, the former Tumblr CEO”
What the what!?! Former Tumblr CEO? This really is the death knell of WaPo. Good riddance.
One point at a time.
Trumpland! Love it!
One of the small joys over the last Decade maybe two is the slow demise of the old Main Stream Media both print and TV. They have always been propaganda, I had not been educated at the Treehouse to be able to tell. But the Old Propaganda must be a terrible place to work…..It has all been a slow train wreck of layoffs, cut backs, salary reductions. They have to be miserable places to work. Those thick newspapers with multisections, the TV news that was must watch? The Online WSJ is a monthly, articles were on it for 30 days? Now they truly do not matter.
It would be nice to live long enough to see CBS shuttered and the NYTimes closed. I just may make it. In the meantime it has to be a horror to go into work in those propaganda hellholes. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people.
Get well! Get well soon!
We want you to get we-ll! (Clap, clap).
One of my stories about WaPo was when they hired Jennifer Rubin to be a Conservative Editorial Columnist. I read a couple of her “conservative” columns and realized she was as Conservative as Hillary Clinton. Rubin has gone on to become Bat Sh*t Crazy in her views.
Hillary used to be different. There was Confederate Flag Day in Arkansas. And “super predators.” And three strikes! And age-restricted labels on rap CD’s. We might have been able to sit down and have a discussion, but she moved away to predator city.
Bat shit crazy? Must have looked at her own reflection too much.
She’s hideous, in a sorta unattractive way.
“Slowly, at first…then…ALL AT ONCE!!!”
Just think where we will be in January 2029.
In Heaven?
I’ll consider it cracked when we get birdfeeders….
Until then….
NO MERCY!
I’d like to crack a few nuts! 🥜🥜 🥜
I find it interesting that as soon as I visit The Conservative Treehouse, I am re-directed to a McAffee virus detector ad. The same thing happens when I go to the Gateway Pundit! It seems that Google (and/or the CIA!) are still targeting right-of-center news outlets. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yes. Happens on my I phone but not with Brave on my computer.
I have and I use a Kindle tablet. Only on here., but it hasn’t happened in three or four days.
i don’t want canada as a state. i want it as the back forty hunting and trapping ground.
Maybe a really big national park? Beautiful scenery!
The tectonic plates of the post WW2 “rules based international order” are shifting dramatically. President Trump and a very few of his loyal allies, bolstered by the MAGA base, are the root cause of the shift, magnified by the hysterical reaction from the UniParty, the Deep State, the corrupt corporate media, and the lunatic left.
Shifting plates cause upheaval and change, whether it’s in the lithosphere or within the institutions of society and culture. We are living through that upheaval now.
President Trump has a rare opportunity right now to burn down the IC Deep State, but he must strike while the iron is hot.
As Sundance pointed out, the IC itself is shifting away from the dinosaur media to the new age of AI Social Media.
If the IC is allowed to successfully compete the shift, they will become exponentially more powerful and more dangerous than they are now. We are far enough along in the shift to see this happening in real time.
President Trump must expose ALL secrets and drown the Deep State in a river of sunlight. The sunshine of truth will permanently disable the current version of the Deep State and give us a brief window to confront the new version currently being built.
Pray continually that God would give President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard and the other loyal allies of our President increased wisdom and courage, and that He would strengthen their faith so that they could achieve success in this war.
It’s been 110 years in the making:
Oscar Callaway Quote
“In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press. … They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.”

Here is the bottom line….
Our Republic died in 1865…..
It was replaced by a corporation called the Federal Government…..
It did not formally incorporate until the invention of the Fed….
The consolidation of power began with the Administrative state in the aftermath of reconstruction….
Once that Administrative power was going to the new Federal Corporation it set about to confiscate personal wealth (16th Amend)…
It’s birth was now complete…
Now here is the punch line….
The politicians on BOTH sides work for that corporation…..
Now you understand why RINOs and Democrats work together to keep that machine going….
And why the only way out is to BANKRUPT the corporation…..and break it up….
At issue is what will replace it….because THAT is where we are headed…..
And that’s been their plan all along…..
We are simply trying to restore the Republic as intended…
STARVE THE BEAST!
“On the morning of July 3, 1915, while Morgan and his wife, Jane—known as Jessie—took breakfast with the British ambassador and his wife in the Morgans’ three-story mansion near Glen Cove on Long Island, their butler, Physick, opened the door to a lanky man who demanded to speak to the financier. When Physick demurred, the man pulled two guns from his coat and forced his way inside…Morgan and Holt came face-to-face on the second floor landing, and the bullish banker charged. Holt fired twice, and Morgan, who weighed about 220 pounds, toppled forward, knocking his assailant to the floor…Shot in the groin and thigh, Morgan was rushed to hospital while Holt was carted away to the police station.”

“He was succeeded by Jeff D’Onofrio, the former Tumblr CEO who joined the newspaper this past June as its chief financial officer. D’Onofrio will assume the role of acting publisher and CEO.”
Verizon/Yahoo bought Tumblr in 2019 for $1.1B, banned the porn, and then sold it for $10M, less than 1% of the purchase price.
All the value of Tumblr was in the porn. When that was banned, Tumblr lost 99% of its value.
Let’s hope that D’Onofrio brings that business acumen to the Post.
Richard Nixon is smiling from above.
Trivia question for younger posters: which part of Post owner Katie Graam did Nixon say was caught in the wringer?
MAGA FABULOUS!!
The part left unsaid in this summary is MONEY SOURCES are either shifting or literally drying up. Base on the published sale prices for new media companies, the operational costs run these money loosing entities runs in to the Billions of Dollars.
ALL the “news sources” cited by Sundance have been operating in a continuously declining viewer environment. They were propped up by financial benefactors who had a stake in continuing the messaging, even as those “news sources” operated at a loss and are now losing the battle for the 40% of la la land voters in the middle. (Thus the vernier of legitimacy.)
DOGE identified the money trails from within the US Government and likely a few others from outside the government. Allot of those trails have been cut and put under pressure.
As happened 2017-2020, the financial puppet masters are making increasing amounts money under President Trump’s policies. So, they may now consider riding out the storm to 2028 as a viable option, while reassessing their business model and structure of the Global Corporation in terms of who runs the franchise nation states. Thus, the financial masters may not be so willing to continue funding the “messaging” being spouted by the current crop of media “businesses”.
Then there is the issue of literally surviving … as in staying alive. The actions and composition of the “new democrat-Marxist” party has created some angst among the elite class … the control over their highly volatile and dangerous group of current “leftist” foot soldiers is slipping.
Just gonna leave this here………
I know of no evidence that Trump has ever read either The Conservative Treehouse or Free Republic.
Trump is only trying to remove criminal invaders and fellow invaders (likely to be associates) in their company.
In a (maybe) unrelated item I came across, the CIA world factbook is goingto be “unsupported” going forward. https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/us/cia-world-factbook-countries-cec
The federal IC budget might be around $100 billion/year.

Despite the WAPO thing, Bezos is still a billionaire.
But … I still enjoy “counting his chickens, before they hatched” decision. Bezos was positive Hillary Clinton would be elected President in 2016 and bought WAPO to print endless articles of her glorious reign. Also a DC mansion to be close and convenient to the Oval Office.
Instead:
•President Trump was elected
•No Oval Office invites
•Ivanka Trump was his neighbor
•And WAPO lost thousands of subscribers due to endless lies and negative stories about President Trump
Now:
•President Trump is back in the White House
•Hillary will never be president
•And WAPO is hemorrhaging money and staff.
When you do a demolition in a big building, maybe you can exterminate some roaches and rats. But most of them scurry beyond your traps and end up infecting some other floor in that building.
