The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 93 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Amen

The death penalty was one of PDJT’s ideas…in his many rally’s…death penalty for drug dealers etc…
If not by courts, then by high seas.
She sticks up for guilty criminal adults; but 73Million abortions yearly – the real death penalty- are a ‘right’ for womanhood’s judgement.
Sick and depraved are too kind of words for the likes of AOC.
God Help US
And they have the nerve to complain that illegal immigration must be tolerated because birthrates are below replacement levels. We’re not supposed to hate, but I seriously dislike these “people”.
I also;utely hate ‘what’ they do; they have to deal with God about the why they do it.
I would throw in “criminal” for good measure.
Today is another opinion day at SCOTUS, and that means another Callais watch. Callais is the only case left from the October argument list. The case challenges a provision in the 1965 Voting Rights Act that been used to create congressional districts in which a group that is a racial minority in the state is a majority in that district.
The Callais challengers claims this violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. If the Court strikes down this provision of the VRA, one expects there would be a lot of lawsuits challenging districting in which these minority-majority districts were created. This could really upend all the redistricting being done in several states, and not just in blue states.
Callais is not only the one case from the October list that has not been decided, but Justice Alito is the only justice who has not written a majority opinion from October. Make of that what you will.
Sean Spicer recently claimed in “The Huddle” podcast that the Callais decision has been written, that the racially-defined district provision has been struck down, and the liberals are slow-walking their dissents to make it too late for the states to redistrict. No one else appears to have heard this rumor. However, Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist just revealed that the liberals in Dobbs slow-walked their dissents, so Spicer’s claim may be accurate.

Opinions start at 10 EDT. Live-blogging at http://www.scotusblog.com (not affiliated with the Court).
(And in case you’re wondering, Roberts probably does have the authority to threaten to release the majority opinion and tell the dissenters their dissents will be published later. But it would take character and backbone to stand up to the liberals….)
Wethal…In your experience, is this a common thing re delaying dissents?
Or..Is this something new/specific to this particular Court?
Thanks!
I think it’s fairly new, but then so is the leaking.
Even liberals like RBG and Breyer had respect for their colleagues and for Court traditions. RBG and Scalia were personal friends.
Those days are long gone.
Waited for the pun/limerick/joke at the end…and it never came.
LOL! Gotta keep you on your toes!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
The brief from the SCOTUS was late.
The order, the Democrats hate;
But winning is easy,
When you can be sleezy,
Like for WORDMAN’s puns, we must wait!
Nice! Especially considering you did that at 05:57!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
This. I’ve been watching it closely.
It is why the Democrats are going completely unhinged in places like VA to steal seats.
They are about to lose a bushel of House seats throughout the South.
OS, I hope you are right but I will only believe it when I see it. I never trust republicans not to seize victory from the jaws of defeat.
The U.S. Supreme Court hears one case today, Blanche, Acting Atty Gen vs Lau, about aliens, including those who have committed or been convicted of certain crimes being ineligible to be admitted to the U.S. and subject to removal.
Here is a link to listen to the audio, expected to go live at 10:00 a.m. east coast time:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/
The question before the court is “Whether, to remove an LPR (lawful permanent resident) who committed an offense listed in Section 1182(a)(2) and was subsequently paroled into the United States, the government must prove that it possessed clear and convincing evidence of the offense at the time of the LPR’s last re-entry into the United States.”
as a side note – Thank You to the Treepers who gave some great advice on how to track down and eliminate the constant take-over of being able to visit, read, comment on this site. It appears it was definitely on my end, and followed their ideas and was able to eliminate a spam site that was somehow embedded itself for whenever I accessed this site, but eliminated that from notifications settings on the Chrome browser page. THANK YOU Treepers! Free at last!
side note – spoke too soon, that thing is still there when accessing the site. but so far, was able to easily get rid of it. so progress.
Approximately 80,000 federal employees live in Fairfax County, Virginia. That’s about one in ten of all registered voters in the county, and close to two in ten of all those who actually vote.
The answer is to move some of these federal agencies the hell out of DC into other areas of the country, preferably to cities that such a move won’t change the state’s or congressional district’s red makeup.
I have been wishing they would do this for years. There is absolutely no reason why all these departments and agencies need to be crowded together in DC, the most corrupt place in the country. Spread them out into the red states, where supervisors and employees are much more likely to be sensible Americans, rather than raving communists.
No, sorry, do not MOVE them!
SHUT THEM DOWN!
Most bureaucratic “jobs” are unnecessary!
Eliminate the job and the employee will move away, we would hope to be countered by sensible people.
Amen! Great idea.
Exactly. How many of us are saying, “Boy, I really miss the 10,000 USAID employees right now. I don’t know how I can go another day without their handing out peanut paste in sub-Sahara Africa.”
Or have our USAID confiscated by some dictator and doled out/used for their own political gain!!! The people in need get just enough to keep them malnourished! Most of it is completely wasted! There are no benevolent dictators!
Next up, defunding all NGO’s and by default positions lost that shuffle the NGO paperwork! Long past due!
Bingo!
I remember POTUS talking about it under his first administration for departments such as the farm bureau etc…I can’t remember if he moved any departments out of DC back then.
Yes! Shut MOST of them down. Just a bunch of parasites sucking off the taxpayer accomplishing/producing nothing of worth.
I think they ought to move the whole lot of them to Death Valley.
For Summer.
They should Winter in Nome Alaska.
Or Minot, North Dakota.
…. or the Great State of Greenland, USA
Sshh, Greenland won’t do it if they figure out what we will send them.
Business and citizens moving from blue states to red states is not “flight.” It is colonization.
Not always true.
There is a substantial minority of normal humans in every blue state – “yearning to breathe free”!
If I ever get the chance to move from mine before I am too decrepit, which is unlikely, the first thing I would do is find a Republican town committee like mine (mostly MAGA diehards even here in blueMA) and get to work.
That is after slapping a Trump sign outside my dwelling.
I pray that your dwelling doesn’t get vandalized. Even in Red South Carolina I’m not taking any chances.
80,000 government employeeeees in this area alone; smaller government should be the primary goal of all patriots.
Don’t move them; get rid of them!
God Help US
It was the early mail in ballots that won it.
Gavin Wilde [1] identified as unnamed wiitness 2 [2] in recently declassified Ukraine Impeachment testimonies, his ties to Eric Ciamarella [3] and Peter Strzok are well knwn.
Wilde played critical roles inside the intelligence community in
[1] Gavin Wilde | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
[2] Unmasked: Secret ‘Witness 2’ was anti-Trump intel officer pushing Russiagate, Ukraine impeachment | Just The News

Thank you! I hate it when they don’t name names…
In most cases, the person affected can be integrated into a network that pursues an agenda (anyone who worked politically in 2019 and can’t make anything of Eric Ciarmarella is suspicious). If the name is already known and is still being kept secret, then it smells bad. Now for seven years.
Virginia’s redistricting ammendment passed as expected ( ≈ 90K votes or 51.5-48.5%)
Court cases incoming…
After VA’s General assembly voted in 1/26 to place the constitutional amendment on the ballot, the process was quickly disputed. Three major unsolved cases are siting before the SC-VA:
Primary elections will take place on 8/4/26

Spanberger is the most hated governor ever according to the polls. She totally lied about her policies, raised and made new taxes. elevated illegals and criminals over US law abiding citizens, pushes trans on their children and just about ended 2nd amendment rights.
So let’s vote to give her and the people like her total and forever power.
Stupid or corrupt?
Both.
2024 U.S.Rep election in VA:
From 4.43M votes, DEMs got 2.27M votes (51.40%), GOP scored 2.11M votes (47.64%). From being 166K votes shy, GOP won five congresional seats, one less than DEMs.
2026 Congressional District amendment:
From 3.06M votes, YES got 1.57M votes (51.45%), NO scored 1.49M votes (48.55%). Δ 89K votes.
She did not lie. You could see her coming from a mile away. She was schooled at the knee of Nancy Pelosi.
Soros needs indicted like the SPLC!
Republicans promise a lot of good things, deliver nothing.
Democrats promise nothing, deliver a lot of bad things.
No. Today’s Communist-Democrats openly promise a dystopian hellscape.
And they quickly deliver it whenever they are able to steal power to do so.
Today’s GOP are nothing but a well-dressed herd of grifters. Being out of power is better for their business.
Hakeem Jeffries gloats about the VA redistricting and threatens FL….
Best comment:
SCOTUS is about to drop a nuclear bomb on the House Democrats’ heads. VRA is going to be overturned, impacting up to 20 Districts throughout the South.
The only thing delaying it is the radical minority dragging their feet on the dissents.
Yep, and Roberts is just fine with the feet dragging gambit. A terrible leader.
Democrats the most retrograde evil force in America. Voting is not working.
Just learned the deputy Colorado SOS under Jena Griswold is out of Perkins Coi. I recall SD saying PC has or had a dedicated NSA terminal. Anywho, Griswold drove off several regular CO State employees when she first took office. Now we know why. Assume PC pretty much runs the CO SOS office.
JMO.
Bean counters and lawyers have their place in war.
But when fighting large numbers of fanatics, aka japs or IRGC, they must not be the determining factor.
Gather info on the bad guys in country, who/where/when, and get on with their destruction.
The good iranians and our end-the-bad-guys-brings-stabilization objective demand it.
Time is on the bad guy’s side …… ammo is on our side ……. limit the delay and bomb-bomb-bomb the bad iranians.
Delay in hours, okay ……. delay for days, not good.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!

REVEALED: RNC Blew VA Referendum Due to Lavish Cornyn Spending and Misplaced Priorities
https://thenationalpulse.com/2026/04/21/revealed-rnc-blew-va-referendum-due-to-lavish-cornyn-spending-and-misplaced-priorities/?feed_id=91467
The Virginia Republican Party is pathetic, but this comes down to a pretty simple dynamic. Democrats, who are LEGION in Virginia’s cities are wildly spun up about Donald Trump. They’re seething with Anger. And a large percentage of Trump voters simply do not care enough to vote when he’s not on the ballot. This is a preview of the mid-terms.
VA is about to become Maryland.
Where was the outrage from people when Texas did this recently?
At least in VA, it was up for a vote.
I hate gerrymandering, too, but I think the GOP poked the bear.
I agree with you. Live by the sword die by the sword. But Texas, in result, didn’t do anything that NJ, IL, and CA haven’t done. It’s another sign that red / blue America cannot coexist.
The more immediate problem, however, is Trump’s low approval rating which is – in part – the reason for the depressed turnout. The administration does not have long to turn this around before November. If it can be done at all.
Oh no. E’erbody hates Trump.
TX did redistricting after a court ruling on the updated census results.
Correct.
Texas was rectifying racially drawn districts after DOJ Civil rights division requested the review.
The DEM districts that were affected were specifically drawn to favor racial minorities.
There was a 5 seat swing, and the Democrats still hold 8 districts with a possible 9 in a potential swing district.
The Democrats already made up 4 of those seats in their change for 2026
The VA new map is an abomination, not only in the result, but in how it was done. Reduces GOP to 1 district, and the question on the ballot was hopelessly biased suggesting that it restored “Fairness”.
The GOP poking the bear is nonsense.
The Republican Party of VA are fine with it.
The UniParty™️ Vulture was born in Virginia.
They will spend 4 yrs crisscrossing the Commonwealth being feted for the “fight” and raising money.
Anyone still giving money to the GOP at this point should be placed under a guardianship.
Pardon my crudeness this morning but the Republicans would mess up a wet dream. They are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
The Republicans have a lot of practice at and are pros at ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory’.
What has a Republican Congress delivered on in the last 60 years?
Two wins for a Democratic President and one win for a Republican President (Trump).
1964 Civil Rights Act Ended racial discrimination in public accommodations and employment, also addressing sex discrimination. – President Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat)
1965 Voting Rights Act Aimed to eliminate barriers to voting for African Americans, significantly impacting political alignment in the U.S. – President Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat)
2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Overhauled the tax code, including tax cuts for individuals and businesses, and introduced “Opportunity Zones” for investment in low-income areas. – President Donald J. Trump (Republican)
“Misplaced priorities.” Yep, that’s what they do. Or maybe their priorities have nothing to do with MAGA.
They’ll go back to “nonpartisan” redistricting after the 2030 census.
Interesting timing…
Bald faced lie.
Seems like blatant electioneering which is unconstitutional and illegal.
“IRANIAN NEGOTIATOR FIRES BACK AT TRUMP”…
Wall Street Journal – pure propaganda, “officials” same as un named sources, same as we made this up.
Deeply unpopular which he can’t prove and doesn’t matter.
It is deeply unpopular – with Dim politicians and those with TDS…
Go for it Iran, take the initiative. I really wish they would stop talking about it and throw some punches. Our armed forces are ready.
Iran is pissed off with Pakistan now….
—
“On Iran’s state television, a senior Iranian official launched a scathing attack on Pakistan’s Army Chief. The official asserted that Asim Munir is acting as a sycophant to Donald Trump”….
Cont….
Iran is also upset that Trump continued the ceasefire….
—-
“Iran State TV: Tehran does not recognize the ceasefire extension announced by Trump and may not adhere to it”…
Break the ceasefire and declare war; Trump is ready for any decision Iran makes.
What happens next will be Iran’s decision. AND the consequences will be thrown in., too boot.
God Help US
This isn’t a stalemate; it’s a cease fire. Trump is giving them more time to realize the exact situation they are in.
The stalemate is the next move OR mate.
That doctor who helped us find Bin Laden, did they ever get him out of Pakistani prison?

STRAIT OF HORMUZ ESCALATION: IRAN FIRES ON TWO SHIPS The British military reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, with a second ship attacked shortly after.

Again — IF this is true, why the h*LL are ships not transiting the Strait in convoys escorted by Navy ships and with air cover?
The Strait is a compact area that should be EASY to protect from a bunch of fanatics in small boats.
It’s true – there are videos and satellite images and transponder tracking.
My first thought was, “Why the hell aren’t we blowing the hell out of any small boats coming out of Iranian ports?”
ARAB REPORT: HEZBOLLAH FIGHTER HANDED OVER TO IDF
Arab sources claim an injured Hezbollah fighter who retreated from Bint Jbeil toward Ein Ebl was handed over to Israeli forces. According to the report, the fighter was initially expected to be transferred via a Red Cross ambulance in Rmeich, but locals in Ein Ebl allegedly intervened and delivered him to the IDF, where he was taken into Israel. The report also suggests additional Hezbollah fighters may still be present in Bint Jbeil and the surrounding “red zone.” No official confirmation has been issued.

IDF UNCOVERS HEZBOLLAH WEAPONS SOUTH OF DEFENSE LINE
The IDF reports multiple weapons caches discovered during operations in southern Lebanon, south of the Forward Defense Line. In Al-Khiyam, troops located an RPG launcher, surveillance equipment, ammunition, and a Hezbollah flag inside a structure used by the terror group.
In Beit Lif, additional RPG launchers, sniper weapons, and military equipment were found in Hezbollah-operated sites. Operations in Adshit al-Qusayr uncovered drones, warheads, Kalashnikov rifles, and ammunition stockpiles. In A-Taybeh, soldiers located RPGs, grenades, and an explosives activation kit. The IDF says the weapons were intended for attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, and emphasized it will continue operations to remove threats in the area.

Let me piece together key developments of the past few hours to understand where things stand.
If all went as per plan, the US & Iranian negotiators would have been in a huddle today (Wednesday), seeking to thrash out a potential deal.
Pakistan was confident as it had done a lot of spadework through backchannels since the first round ended without a breakthrough.
Where did things go wrong?
Until yesterday afternoon, the plan was already finalized. Steve Witkoff & Jared Kushner were set to fly first from Miami. Vice President JD Vance’s plane was ready to take off.
The press corps accompanying Vance were instructed to be ready for departure around 9:00 am Washington time (6:00 pm PST).
Not that the plan was final but multiple sources said security assets & details put on the ground in Islamanad were typical accompanying the US President’s movement. That meant the US was ready if Trump decided to fly in.
But then things began to fray. The US side, which shared some new proposals via Pakistan with Iran, wanted a clear response from Tehran before Vance left for Islamabad.
The US wanted the second round to show some headway, if not reach a final settlement.
Initially, Iran was inclined to give consent. That was the reason Pakistan had put in place all the security arrangements. The US advance teams had landed.

Top U.S. Nuclear Chief Caught LEAKING Sensitive National Security Information to Stranger, Reveals Army Chemist Was Exposed to U.S. Chemical Nerve Agent, Confirms U.S. Strike Killed Children in Iran, Discloses U.S. Plans to ‘Kill Iran’s New Supreme Leader’
“If he [Mojtaba Khamenei] doesn’t change his ways, yeah, they’re [United States] going to kill him.”
“The easiest way to get intelligence…send a pretty girl, talk to the guy…I have to resist your eyes.” “Your eyes have mesmerized me so much…Almost like you’re an intelligence.”
Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant.
Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information.
He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure. He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.
Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons:
“We’re not going to nuke anybody.” All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official’s judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors. We have reached out to the Pentagon and U.S. Army for comment and they are working on a response.

Funny how even the “smartest” of men are still ruled by their appendage. Glad our side has started to use the same tactics they use .
The rule of thumb for those with classified info, is if she’s hot and you are not, run away.
“The Iranian precondition for a US naval blockade was not the real sticking point. What I have been hearing is that the US was willing to lift the blockade during talks as a confidence-building measure.”
Utter delusional speculation/projection by this “analyst”.
The entire problem here is that the fanatics don’t want ANY deal that doesn’t leave the uranium in Iran, AND that they control those who are receptive to agreeing to this.
The inmates — IRCG — are truly running the asylum. Anyone less radical than them have yet to consolidate the power AND MEANS to get rid of them.

Mary McCord’s hubby possibly?
My bet is it’s coming from Sotomayer camp.
Or Kagan, who apparently blew a gasket on Breyer during a conversation.
All the leaks started right around the time Biden’s incompetent clown was sworn in.
The reported results of the vote in Virginia (its embrace of communism) should send a chill down everyone’s spine.
The only positive that came from yesterday’s alleged result is the provision of an in-your-face example of how quick this entire country can end up down that rabbit hole.
Counting votes matters. Our way-of-life depends upon it.
Another slap in the face example of how the Dems play smash mouth with everything, and Republicans can’t even get the Save Act passed. Dems are playing for permanent total power. Communist never rest, and everything they do is justified. November is going to be real ugly.
I’m quite sure that Washington, Jefferson, Madison and a host of other patriots are rolling over in their graves right now! God help Virginia, Texas, New York and others as they deal with an invasion of Communists, Islamic cultists and pure insanity!
I’m sure they’re like me regarding our political shenanigans, insulation of politics from voters will be the death of America.
Look at Europe, where the entire EU is unelected – intentionally.
I don’t understand why Republicans are upset about this when they lit the fuse (Texas).
They got outplayed here. Take your licks and move on.
You got it backwards..
The fuse was lit way before TX. TX was a response.
Illinois, Massachusetts and California all who are threatening to redistrict again, even though Massachusetts who has ZERO Republican districts.
This is absurd. Gerrymandering didn’t start in Texas.
Sometimes they only have one talking point to work from.
What an asinine take on things…
“Oh, they are committing fraud and violating the concepts the nation was founded on and its likely unconstitutional, but hey – their dirty tricks won, just move along.”
Stop lying. You know that is not what happened in Texas.
Regarding Texas, I was referring to the mooslim invasion down there.
Wrong. The communists have been doing this for years. But now that the Rs do it, it’s some kind of problem. Take your BS back to Reddit.
This is the Democrats’ desperate survival strategy. They are cornered. That is why it is so over-the-top.
Democrats are about to lose up to 20 ‘minority’ seats in the South, as the VRA is about to be overturned by SCOTUS. That loss is in addition to the red state redistricting (notwithstanding the Indiana traitors who backstabbed their base).
The SCOTUS decision is being slow-walked by the radicalized minority in completing their dissents (just like they did on abortion), to try to dodge the mid-terms impact.
And Compromised Quisling John Roberts is allowing the delay. Because he is full on controlled Uniparty.

Reid Hoffman, a frequent guest on Epstein Island and a key adviser on the committee formed to rehabilitate his image, paid for disinformation bots to spread Russian propaganda against a GOP candidate.
The media has not covered this. They also are not reporting on his frequent visits to the island. Why?

They don’t report on their own. There’s buku big 💰💰 for their “machine” involved.
just to help people understand your point,
i think the word you’re looking for is “beaucoup”.
but you “sounded it out” phonetically and pretty much got the job done! 😁
Reid Hoffman is a slug. I have no use for him.
As far as documented visits to the island, one in 2014. (From the files)
At least 3 visits to the townhouse in NYC.
There is some speculation regarding some VIPs not appearing on flight logs. (Clinton for example)
This could be true based on testimony from some of the girls having allegedly seen Bill there, but not appearing on the logs.
HOLY SH*T:
Discord’s own transparency reports/safety pages have referenced working with “organizations focused on fighting hate (like the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center).”
Think Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs talking about Charlie on their Discord chat. SPLC then wrote a hit piece about Charlie on 9/9.
One day before he was murdered. We’re just scratching the surface.

The craziest part… Southern Poverty Law Center funded the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. Yes, THAT rally— the origin of the vicious anti-Trump “very fine people” hoax that was supposed to convince people that Trump and all his supporters were Nazis.
Let that sink in. It was an op the whole time. Even BIDEN propagated the “very fine people” lie to vilify Trump and all Republicans.
BUT the racist rally was funded by radical leftists THE WHOLE TIME. The lie about Trump’s words was always an obvious lie. But the rally itself was a paid op. It was never real.

A well funded Community Organization in action.
Hopefully someone is looking into ACLU too.
The American Bar Association has also jumped into the loony bin with the ACLU.
The whole car ramming dead woman thing in Charlottesville needs to be reexamined. Supposedly the guy who drove the car was a “white nationalist” . Was he paid to do it? Was it all a set up?
As I recall, there was controversy about removing a statue of Robert E. Lee in a park.
Some said he was a highly regarded military general of high character and a Virginian patriot-the statue should stay.
Others said he was a leader of the Confederate military against our union and should not be recognized-the statue must be removed,
So some people got a permit to speak in the park to keep the statue. The mayor said they were white supremest and should not be allowed to speak in the park. So he sued to keep them from speaking, but lost-freedom Of Speech.
Probably a hundred or so would have attended and speak for an hour or so?
The mayor would not quit lashing out-they are white supremest and not welcome in Charlottesville. Then the governor, Terry McAuliffe, joined the outrage and raised the temperature even further. They are not welcome in Charlottesville or Virginia!!!
It then got national attention and the media and left fanned the controversy flame-the nut cases then started coming out in mass to protest and you have the beginning of the Charlottesville debacle.
If they would have just let them speak and leave, I suspect the whole Charlottesville debacle would not have happened and there would be no one killed.
If you saw the videos of that event, there is a solid argument that it was a case of self defense.
His car was under attack by “protesters” smashing the windows with baseball bats, etc…
I agree. That poor dumb kid was sacrificed and destroyed for their sick psyop.
Very good point.
Even the name “Unite the Right” was meant to “unite” patriots with the Klan to discredit patriots.
BTW, Maidan was the foreign test run for the J6 Color Revolution Op and Charlottesville was the American test run.
It’s so much worse than this The SPLC trained local law enforcement and FBI agents among many other government agencies They were propping up fake radical actors and then using them as an excuse to train law enforcement to attack right wingers

SPLC was one of the most powerful censorship forces in the country for decades. Lavishly supported by many big American companies for many years. This is astonishing, and deeply concerning.
https://nitter.poast.org/AuronMacintyre/status/2046758186326040971#m
How is it astonishing or concerning? This has been painfully obvious for a couple decades.
The pretending not to know things is about to increase exponentially, as this case moves forward.
This whistleblower report is so explosive it should shake the foundations of the USIC and those who were running the ODNI and the CIA during the first Trump administration should immediately be brought in for questioning by the DOJ. @C__Herridge cuts no corners in her exceptional reporting and this article is no exception. “According to these accounts, the CIA, then led by Director Gina Haspel, would not document the Chinese influence operations, in a formal way, out of concern that President Trump would use the intelligence to his advantage.” You want fair elections in America, make sure the CIA has no role whatsoever!
https://nitter.poast.org/GenFlynn/status/2046705324019613797#m
“Explosive”? No. “Shake the foundations”? No. You under estimate the enemy. If the President loses the House in November, his agenda is halted. If he loses the Senate, he is likely impeached and convicted.
Convicted? No chance.

So timeline,
someone leaves investigation in a way that makes news.
Hiring diGenova makes news.
New subpoenas are issued, and sourced to diGenova who can’t do this yet.
diGenova sworn in.
Subpoenas are withdrawn.
Sounds like a big pro Brennan anti diGenova op run from inside the investigation.
It’s too early to subpoena Brennan. Start with the periphery and work your way into the target. He will be one of the last to testify under oath
From what I can tell, they backed off of subpoenaing the periphery.
But it also looks like those subpoenas were not real. Just a tactic to poison the investigation and to smear the new guy.
Meanwhile it also manipulates people who are concerned that the lack of holding people accountable for their crimes in government will give license to many more crimes by government.
Are there SPLC footprints at the capital Jan 6? Literally and figuratively.

Virginia we got a problem. The cabal has captured the commonwealth.
More like the GOP gave it away.
World-class intentional losers and Quislings.
Thune is their current mascot.
By GOP I assume you mean republican voters. Because that’s who gave it away. The VARP may be corrupt and incompetent, but they’re not the reason half a million stayed home.
VA will now become Maryland
So that they can capture the House and start imposing tyranny.
Not happening. The VRA decision is about to explode in their faces.
The Texas decision didn’t blow up in the GOP’s faces – MAGA loved it at the time.
Look around – Democrats and never-Trumpers are celebrating right now. I expect more Blue states to follow.
What part of the VRA do you not understand?
Fairly sure that one is from the bridge…
The part that requires critical thinking skills and logic. Our troll is singleminded and on a “Texas did it too” loop
Keep trying. Repeat this stuff over and over.
Maybe you will convince some weak minded person.
Oh, here you are. Lying again.
You lasted 1 day…..do better…
May it happen quickly.
For some reason it didn’t blow up in time to stop this travesty.
And I don’t trust our judges to do the right thing.
Nor do I trust them to do it in a timely fashion.
Agreed
Not yet – it still has to go through what should be numerous legal challenges at both the state and federal level. It should easily be able to be delayed till well past the point it could be implemented for the midterms.

The DC locusts have descended on Cape Charles as well, turned that part of the ESV blue–they ruined Chincoteague and Onancock and now they have taken over Cape Charles.
Setting aside the toxic nature of the un-recyclable remains, the intermittent and variable nature of its power making it extremely poor for baseline grid power, and the governments trying to “dim the sun” due to “climate change”…
…if a government really believed they were a good thing and it wasn’t just a way to bilk the taxpayer and increase control, then the best way to implement it would be to subsidize the purchase and installation of them and storage for individual houses.
This would help reduce load on the main power grid during peak usage, reducing the required size of the power plants and main distribution grid. They could allow users to sell excess power back to the grid, helping create a distributed power grid and further reducing peak demand on the power plant. They would NOT destroy acres and acres of farm land or natural wildlife habitat (if they really care about “the planet”) and NOT poison the soil.
They would also require the top surface to be hail proof…and encourage and invest in production in their own country, rather than subsidizing the manufacturing base and technological base of a potential adversary.
Why can’t the solar panels of on the tops of these huge warehouses and data centers, and covered parking lots?
Additional excellent ideas – but in the case of AI and data centers there should be absolutely zero government subsidy IMO…might even make it a requirement for the AI and data centers.
