Elections have consequences. Trust fund boy will put all these homeless shelters in the highest tax bracket areas. Run down property values as penance. Whitey must pay. Commies gotta commie.
The east village is not a top area though. It isn’t great – at all.
Isn’t that where all the artists congregate?
Yes. Very bohemian, very rich trust fund kids slumming vibe since the late 50s/60s. Think Ginsburg and punk protest kids.
Dangerously hip and cool, but it’s supposed to be safe from the real crazies. Oh well.
Years ago maybe, try to rent an apartment on Avenue A today.
It’s that “me and thee” thingy…
I love seeing the Hundredaires from Kentucky get all hot and bothered over NYC.
Your concern for all the very wealthy in NYC is noted. I am sure they feel the same way about you.
Tread lightly dipshit.
A new clown tries to enter the House…
Exact language from a week ago. Possibly under a different name.
Bless your heart
I remember seeing that exact same comment from a troll here about a week or 10 days ago. Can’t remember his name, but you’re the same guy. When you idiots start repeating yourselves, you just get downright boring.
More like schadenfreude; the only ones who will get hot and bothered are the champagne hipster commies of East Village and the surrounding area (the working and middle class have basically given up in NYC, and are the only ones I truly feel for).
After all this time play acting it’s rather nice that they may get what their votes have always promised (but they always wanted someone else to deal with).
Another insult to southerners.
Not your first time.
We notice…
This is not the first time a “Wealthy Elite” area of NY City, that helped put a communist mayor into office, has revolted.
They did the same thing to DEMOCRAT Mayor Deblasio when he tried to settled Illegal and Auto-Pen IMMIGRANTS arriving in Sanctuary NY City into these very same districts. They actually sued the City and blocked street with protests.
Geee .. just like that other Elite (we are smarter than everybody) location called Martha’s Vineyard.
As for those voters who put this evil clown in office….”stupid is as stupid does!” seems to fit perfectly (for me).
Votematic? I just wish he didnt vote so many times
And his vulture friends will be waiting to buy.
“You make your money when there’s blood in the streets”, said someone.

US ‘drawing up list of Iranian military leaders to wipe out – including IRGC commander – if ceasefire fails’
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15761929/US-drawing-list-Iranian-military-leaders-wipe-including-IRGC-commander-ceasefire-fails.html
Shocking.
OBTW, that list has been drawn for years and recently updated for the deceased.
Wish a similar list of the USA’s biggest enemies could be drawn up……
ANY DEMOCRAT. But more specifically, any in our government.
This being the truth would not surprise me in the least.
Time to cut off the head of the snake…

That’s NATO SecGen Stoltenberg smoozing the Senate traitors.

Probably not true. But if it is true…
Hell to pay.
i question the source, as well. i think we should be questioning just about all of it – ESPECIALLY when it tries to align with our existing biases.
Well, just dang. Yikes
I saw that and chalked it up to the fog of war. Regardless, the US IC and DOW Intelligence would know.
And coming on the coat tails of the Secretary of the Navy’s termination?
Something like this – I stick under my cap as something to be looking for, just in case.
Trace the intelligence, as these European leaders aren’t wise enough to cover their tracks that well.
If this does turn out to be true – I should propose to President Trump he keep it under wraps until an opportune moment – like a G7 meeting – and then present the receipts.
If this somehow does turn out to be the truth, I’m pretty sure President Trump would not need Congress to void NATO participation.
Then I would strongly suggest to simply acquire Greenland through a hostile takeover – buy out Greenland for a fair price, then simply move in. Control of the North Atlantic would become a true national security issue then.
It’s been this way for a long time.
We are at that moment when a player in the game of hearts who is going for broke” (aka “shooting the moon”), tips that one card that reveals their intentions to the entire room.
That moment when their previous moves that seemed like foolish errors suddenly are seen for what they were -strategy.
IMHO this is Trump’s superpower- ripping off the masks of deceit.
Actually it’s past time to behead the snake but yeah, I agree!
Not hard to believe and likely already happens with reports being passed on anything landing in Europe on it’s way to support Epic Fury.
Also, China Inc. is not the only nation renting satellite access time to the Iranians. France has a quaint history of renting all sorts of stuff to the highest bidder.
Also, while talking about NATO Members supporting Iran. Significant leans vs the Central banks of the Following are still held by the UK and Germany .. related to national defaults starting in 2009.

The US now considering suspending Spain from NATO activity. The UK and Germany know darn well what Spain is doing in aiding Iran.

This is one of my fave (old) utube videos on the insanity of “immigration” that Robby’s put on social media to spread its message farther.
In the downside of diversity article listed at the bottom I am fairly certain that the massive new study cited is correct in its findings pertaining to diversity as it exists now, but I believe it is highlighting the wrong kind of diversity.
The whole goal of the massive introduction of different cultures to the US begun by Ted Kennedy and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was to further destroy American values, the same as the Great Society and leftist indoctrination of academia were.
Focusing on racial and ethnic differences only plays into the enemy’s hands; the real focus should be on preventing diversity of ideas on political systems. Had all of those aliens been screened for their political beliefs, and only the ones who understood and desired our system based on American political theory been allowed in, instead of deliberately choosing populations that only wanted to use us for what they could get, the results would have been much different.
I have served with a diverse blend of racial and ethnic members and the color of their skin was not the deciding factor of my willingness to share a foxhole with them, it was their Americanism. Let me serve under an Allen West or a Hung Cao, and I would be quite satisfied.
Are we the first generation in the history of the world to need a study to prove to us what every human knew instinctively at any other time?
Agree.
There’s an aspect of the Virginia redistricting map that nobody has mentioned. Not only does each district that reaches into the metropolitan area trend blue, they are also subject to the massive electoral fraud that occurs in Democrat controlled cities. I believe that is the real motivation behind the redistricting effort.
Given that Fairfax cheated in multiple tranches to pass this lunacy, people are definitely thinking about it.
It’s like a terminal cancer, except worse!
💯 🎯 😔
most definitely. the further away from the voter that the vote is processed, the better for them; and the more likely the disenfranchised citizens are to accept it and consent to be governed, regardless of the means to reach that result.
it worked brilliantly in 2020.
But not so much Accepted the further away from NOVA .
historically the disenfranchised do not vote. The poor, the ethnic, the broken. Have never voted in the numbers of those who are comfortable with the existing system. This is Poli Sci 101.
Some how that got turned around in the last 20 years or so and now they all vote mutiple times . Yeah the cheat is the goal.
If I read the stories correctly, it was the “Mail In Ballots” that gave the redistricting plan the “narrow” win.
With a low voter turn out for the referendum (3 Million out of 6.1+ Million), it would not take many Mail-In Ballots to create a the “narrow” victory.
Geee … how about a vote and ballot canvas while the law suite halting the referendum is being conducted.
Yes, as it ALWAYS is when the votes don’t go the way the COMMUNISTS want.
THE EVIL ONES IN EVERY SCREWED STATE ONLY WIN BY FRAUD.
If it remains, they should change the name of the Commonwealth of Virginia to the Commiewalth of the Titanic.
We need to rethink how we set up State districts. You have many states that are rural and only have one or two high population areas, making much of the State disenfranchised by a relatively small geographic area.
Much of the US is rural or smaller towns.
Maybe we should start by repealing the 17th Amendment!
This is precisely why the democrat party and their financial owners target high population centers for take over. Once they get their nose inside the tent … the flood gates open to import more BALLOTS to cement the walls defending the bastion.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of the emerging battle between the Controlling Financial Masters and the Ideology of the Marxist-Islamic monsters those same financial masters have (and are) planted in NY City and other locations.

What are the similarities between congress and the SPLC? they are top heavy with lawyers.
And reminds me of the ages old joke of why a shark in the ocean won’t eat a lawyer…
Professional Courtesy.
What’s the difference between a dead skunk and a dead lawyer in the middle of the road? Skid marks before the skunk.
So true, Professional Courtesy is why congress would never initiate an investigation of the SPLC.
The Feds didn’t listen to SPLC; Barack Obiden would tell them who to target next for federal dollars.

PDJT has launched a blistering attack on Prince Harry after the royal urged the US to honour its obligations to Ukraine and Nato in the war with Russia.
The President sarcastically dismissed the Duke of Sussex’s ‘great advice’ and said that he believes he speaks more for the UK than King Charles III’s youngest son.
Mr Trump, who has repeatedly branded Harry’s wife ‘terrible’, also hit out at Meghan Markle as he spoke in the WH last night.

Amazing to me how the “royals” propagate propaganda.
If the prince was so much all-in for participation in NATO….he should have told Starmer to step up against Iran. Instead, we have inaction, and even the suggestion UK supplies to Iran intelligence concerning our military movements. What say, Harry?
Ukraine is not a NATO member. We don’t have to fulfill Biden’s little adventure.
But to apply Harry’s fecklessness as a reflection of gingers…well, that’s an insult to gingers all around the world!
There’s just something…..special…with royal progeny that comes with Europe’s royalty being all intermarried and related to each other…..just like people hear about the demographic also taking over Europe.
honour its obligations to Ukraine and Nato in the war with Russia.
what, pray tell, are our “obligations”?
Absolutely none!
I so this so called attack live and all that happened was a reporter ask President Trump a question regarding Harry in Ukraine. President did not even know he was there and just said Harry did not speak for the UK. Then ask how the wife was. There was no attack and he sat there matter of fact.
Why are we obligated to Ukraine? We’ve already contributed millions and weapons.
They are not a member of NATO.
They are not and never have been an ally.
We have no reciprocal defense contracts with them.
WHY? Why are we obligated?

Definitely agree. They are free riders; and
find it interesting how the Sec. of War made the point that if the IRGC goes after U.S./American boats, ships in the Hormuz straight that the IRGC boats will be treated like the US treated the cartel boats in the Caribbean – purposefully letting the world know those EU nations ships are on their own.
No more free-riding while simultaneously exposing the bribe payments those EU nations are paying to the IRGC for their ships safe passage.

Trump push to restrain birthright citizenship gets ammo from unlikely source: liberal polling group
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-push-restrain-birthright-citizenship-gets-ammo-unlikely
And what I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR IF I WAS IN CHARGE is evidence that Biden Admin. officials, after becoming aware of the investigation under Trump 45, made contact with SPLC officials to warn them — particularly after Trump was favored to win again in 2024. THAT would be very interesting.
https://nitter.poast.org/shipwreckedcrew/status/2047022407052120227#m
It’s almost surreal how the media and Democrats are whitewashing the allegations against the SPLC, casting them as the good guys who just happened to pay informants. Here’s a quick sample of what’s actually in the indictment:
• “active promotion of racist groups”
• “made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC”
• “coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees”
• “directly paying leaders” (because nothing says “informant” like paying the guy in charge)
• “high-level SPLC employee who had knowledge the documents had been stolen”
• “donated funds would be used in the commission of state and federal crimes”
• “SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities”
All of that will have to be proven in court, but these are nonetheless extremely serious allegations. The indictment describes a sprawling scheme involving money laundering through fictitious front companies, multi-million dollar fraud against donors, conspiracy, the commissioning of burglary and theft, as well as tax and 501(c)(3) violations tied to funding the activities which the SPLC publicly claims to oppose.
https://nitter.poast.org/HansMahncke/status/2046964374233870340#m
It is surreal!
And, of course, it’s not just how they frame and justify SPLC.
Just looking at how the Democrats and their supporters/voters justify, support, ignore all the terrible stuff that is happening to our country is surreal.
Whether it’s:
Illegal immigration
Sanctuary Cities
Rising crime
Lawfare
Corruption in our government and institutions
Grooming of kids
Illegal voting
Corrupt judges
.
.
.
There are so many things that obviously illegal, corrupted, terrible for our citizens and our society, but they don’t care. Somehow they justify in their minds that it’s ok and they just don’t care and they support and/or justify it that they continue to vote for this stuff.
I think it was John Adam’s that said something like our Republic requires a moral and religious people to survive, or something to that effect. It’s pretty obvious to me that we have strayed far from being a moral and religious society and it shows everyday.
God help us.
i think we would find 10x the scumbaggery looking into the obama DOJ. he is the one who perfected the art of stoking racial division for political power. it would not surprise me to find that SPLC had an informal seat in his cabinet.
He was exactly what a racist would be expected to be.
I’d be looking at coordination under Obama/Holder.
That is when we began doing our best to inflame the country with false charges of racism.
SPLC was actively doing so and well positioned to organize riots in Charlottesville.
Now, who was first? Who influenced whom?

Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco.
From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.”
The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative.
The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.
I think the destruction of USAID financing is why I’ve seen the rash of SPLC infomercials begging for money lately.
Is that Ayesha Khanna related to Ro Khanna?
They both have the same native country and are both frauds and anti-American…unknown about the blood/family part.
Tides Foundaction Soros connection?
Yes.
Sounds like Iran is in panic mode. Nothing from Trump on this yet. So, unless Iran has given an acceptable counter offer Trump thinks he can work with he won’t play the extended negotiation manipulation game.
Al Jazeera an Iranian mouthpiece said it was for a bilateral meeting with paki then he was going to Moscow
.. and just like that there is a meeting between the Pakistani Government and the US Delegation while those same Iranian officials are boarding their flight to Moscow .. where the US Ambassador is meeting with the Russians …. just before the Iranians arrive for talks … and then resumes his discussion with Russians after the Iranians depart.
But hey … those pesky Iranians did not meet with the US … right???
I had a great chat with a friend of mine, a middle-aged gay man who left Seattle after the 2020 riots made the city he called home for thirty years “unlivable.” He’s traditionally voted Democrat but asks me for my opinions sometimes.
We were talking about taxes and he shared “I wish they’d tax the rich and spend it on social programs instead of war.” I asked him “what percentage of federal income tax comes from the top 1%?” “I don’t know. Maybe 10%,” he said.
I told him it was 40%, and that the 1% paid more than the bottom 90% of taxpayers combined.
He was shocked. And we both agreed the tax code should be simple and transparent.
And then I asked him what portion of the federal budget is spent on war versus social programs and welfare. “50% for the Pentagon and 10% for welfare programs.”
I told him it was basically reversed and that social entitlements and welfare spending was actually more than 60%. Again, he was shocked.

The resentment and envy machine that drives the political left’s slogans thrives on people simply not knowing.
They know humans are basically lazy and won’t look into the details of media reporting unless made to. That’s how Obama got elected, with no push back on any of his background or his eligibility or his money backers, by the majority of voters. TPTB backing O gambled on the people being starry eyed at the prospect and build up of Obama, never questioning was he real. They swallowed the media stories and never questioned a thing about his true history or his agenda. He told us he would fundamentally change America and he did. Too bad the public didn’t bother to look at what he meant by that statement.
TPSB on the left are going to do it again and again, gamble people will believe the lies without looking for the real facts, because human nature doesn’t change unless something catastrophic happens to force them to.

The coming midterms will probably reveal that very thing unless people pay attention to what’s happening and get out and vote in mighty numbers. That might be the catastrophe that changes the people down the road, reveals the truth they have been ignoring or too disinterested to look for, but it might be very very much harder to fix things by then.
It’s not just that they don’t know, it’s far more accurate to say that they don’t want to know.
They don’t WANT to know. Wanting to know would require a (excuse the word) fundamental shift in their very way of life.
Sounds like a classic case of pretending not to know things.

actually sort of sad that taxpayers have to pick up the tab on illegal misbehavior by the government. Just as its sad that the Trump administration has to pay Carter Page who was a CIA paid person. Was he not the reason they got into the hopping telephone calls? Not saying he knew but they used him.
as much as I hate the left, I admire their brutal political fight. They don’t screw around and when they get full control, they immediately go to work passing laws and moving hard and fast to the left. Their goal is to have 100% power forever. 70/30 isn’t nearly enough. People are all pissy about these VA democrats. Why? Did you expect them to behave like republicans when they get full control?
Trump’s unwillingness to use his immense political power to go after the GOP will end up hurting him and all of us. The GOP isn’t gonna do anything the rest of this year, just like they didn’t do anything all of last year. Spare me the apologetic crap list of GOP “accomplishments”. They haven’t done shit. The VA democrats have done more in a month than the national GOP has done in 15 months.
What they pass can never be undone or overturned. Open borders and Obamacare to name just two have done irreparable damage. That’s why this country keeps moving left.
i’ve been saying forever… as measured by their speed, unity of ideology, brutality and violence, how they mobilize pawns into the streets, and so many others… they are far more dedicated to their cause than we are to ours.
there is certainly a cadre of people who try to enforce uniformity on the right (like the usual “you must hate america if you disagree with anything trump does”) but our side is a lot more willing to voice dissent and hold our leaders accountable for doing what they said they would do. there is NONE of that on the left.
This is not the same GOP from 50+ years ago. They are smart enough to know that if they can keep their base poor, angry, and lower-educated, they can rinse-repeat the money grift without losing support.
Although something tells me that’s going to change.
When you work without boundaries you move fast and sure but, in the end, you will destroy and not build. Sure the democrats swing wild and free but look at the lost of their states, their very lives. They are on the road to destroying our nation simply by not caring. You might find that brilliant but I find it utterly stupid. Use to watch shows that had a leader trying to destroy the world and people helping. I’d say they were all democrats.
I think you overestimate Trump’s political power; your statement suggests that he can do anything he wants and it is only his lack of application of that power that is wanting.
As the reality is much different and he is executing a brilliant strategic operation against an enemy that is well entrenched in all areas of power and have gained those positions through centuries of accumulating that power, forgive me if I’m going with Trump’s judgement over yours.
Well well well…

J6 PIPE BOMBER CASE TAKES SHARP TURN
LindellTV reporter, @CaraCastronuova, breaks down what happened in the status hearing and it’s raising serious questions. Brian Cole Jr. was hit with a superseding indictment adding FOUR new charges – including terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, carrying potential life sentences.
But then came the surprise:
He pled NOT GUILTY and his defense immediately demanded a trial date. Prosecutors didn’t expect it. The room went quiet.
The defense is now moving to subpoena Congress, including January 6th committee records.
And they may argue an “alternate perpetrator” theory – suggesting someone else could be responsible.
Meanwhile, tensions exploded in court, with the judge reportedly yelling at defense attorneys during heated arguments over what evidence can be made public.
A trial is coming. And this case is far from settled.
https://nitter.poast.org/RealLindellTV/status/2047416304118968721#m
who the “judge” is in this case will matter greatly.
i would not anticipate getting any meaningful new facts or truth from this trial. it exists to whitewash.
Judges yelling at defense attorneys is never a good sign.
Neither is hiding evidence from the public.
And these prosecutors are some sort of stupid. Surprising with new charges and expecting a guilty plea?
What other crimes were they trying to sweep under the rug of a patsy’s guilty plea?
But seriously. How long are we going to flirt with Star Chamber abuses and Inquisition tortures at the same time?
Secret Courts, Secret evidence, and torturing innocents via court to extract phony guilty pleas. (See Flynn)
Now that we have indictments on the SPLC for paying informants to cause crimes, can we indict the FBI for doing the exact same thing for the last fifty years?
I second that emotion
Funny you mention that. All the left wing commentators are insisting that the SPLC “only” paid informants and that is exactly what the FBI does, so why is it illegal. But it’s like kicking someone’s front door down and then saying “well, police do it” as a defense. It’s stupid, but that’s how they are all being told to frame it.
Somebody should ask the Black Panthers about the things they say the FBI paid informers to do to them.
They pretty much blame every known crime on FBI informers.
PS. When I first heard these claims I scoffed. But the more I see the FBI pull this crap now, the easier it is to believe they pulled the same crap back then.
When we get to that stage we should include those who conspire with them. I look forward to seeing Governor Whitmer behind bars.
BREAKING:
VIRGINIA REDISTRICTING VOTE RIDDLED WITH MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD – Dozens of poll workers who oversaw the special redistricting vote in Virginia earlier this week have come forward to allege that the election was rampant with OUTCOME DETERMINATIVE FRAUD, including TENS OF THOUSANDS of dead voters and illegal aliens who voted in heavily Democrat precincts as well as the alleged use of DOMINION VOTING MACHINES at polling locations throughout the state.
Governor Abigail Spanberger is said to have received LUCRATIVE KICKBACKS from the corrupt electronic voting machines company who infamously helped RIG the 2020 presidential election in exchange for awarding Dominion the contract to be used to conduct elections throughout Virginia.
President Trump was right again… The Democrats just STOLE a ballot measure in order to further their brazen effort to STEAL November’s midterms from us in broad daylight.
THE TREASON STOPS WHEN THE ARRESTS START! Do YOU agree?
https://nitter.poast.org/JoshHall2024/status/2047441103226388950#m
100% agree. This crap will continue until there are arrests.
Yes, the massive fraud we saw in 2020 was almost all law enforcement level stuff. Very little, if any, of that fraud would be prevented by the SAVE act. Not saying we shouldn’t pass it, but folks need to get real about how the left and uniparty are operating here.
They are violating a mountain of existing laws when they cheat today. You don’t need a single new law to cover this. What we need is an FBI that has a real leader and a DOJ that isn’t just running the clock out on Trump. They all know how the cheating is taking place and they may likely be sitting on real evidence of massive fraud in many areas.
BTW: I don’t trust Dhillion one iota. She’ll drag this out until there isn’t anything left to save in america.

In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens. It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff. No amnesty!

Reuters is saying Iran may show up tonight for talks.
This is one of the reasons why:
https://xcancel.com/unseen1_unseen/status/2047643355270578599#m
The discussion is on the potentially catastrophic damage to their oil industry due to the blockade. It’s also why they shouldn’t be allowing even empty tankers (especially empty tankers) return to Iran – they can be used as storage tanks to forestall the problem.
Reuters is guessing.
They might be right….but it’s a guess based on a very real technical problem related to shutting wells down when you have nowhere to put the oil.
reuters is not guessing – they are just reprinting what the deep state tells them to print. like they have always done.
A Pakistani Official involved in the peace talks made the statement today.
The well issue didn’t come from Reuters – just the gossip about Iran, which has since turned out wrong. Iran is going to Islamabad , briefly, then Russia and Oman – to “discuss the situation”, or if you prefer “what condition their condition is in.”
It’s Friday. Only if there are goats there.

The “bipartisan” Inter movement impact project (IMIP) that she reports on was created by the far left dark money group, Tides.
You see it was founded at a meeting that Tides held for the 22nd Century Initiative.
Which was held to counter MAGA.
Guy Burgess and Heidi Burgess talked with Walt Roberts and Caleb Christen on July 24, 2024.
Walt and Caleb founded and co-direct the Inter-Movement Impact Project (IMIP) Walt facilitated such conversations for the sustainability movement, the Occupy movement, and the Trans-partisan movement in which he worked with Debilyn Molineaux, who was the first director of The Bridge Alliance,
Before long, Caleb and Walt attended the meeting of the 22nd Century Initiative, which held a conference in the summer of 2023, which sought to “forge a people-powered democracy.”
To do that, they argued, they needed to both “block” and “build.” They needed to block the bad things that were happening (particularly toxic polarization and rising support for authoritarianism), and build something good in its place — This is how the Inter movement impact project was founded.

The 22nd Century Conference: Forging a People-Powered Democracy, was created to counter MAGA “Concern about the mounting MAGA threat is percolating through left and progressive movements, and conversations and convenings are brewing.
One such is the 22nd Century Conference: Forging a People-Powered Democracy, set to take place in Minneapolis, MN on July 6 – 9, 2023.
Here, the conference organizers reflect on the strategies, alliances, stories and political imagination needed “to turn back the authoritarian tide and create a resilient and inclusive multiracial, feminist, and pluralistic democracy.”
This is the latest in the Convergence “Organizing Against Autocracy” series.” archive.is/vD7DI “22nd Century Initiative, a project of Tides Center. All right reserved.” (see photo). archive.is/yMczf

I’m wondering if anyone has read “Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup” the new book by Drew Thomas Allen? It’s the perfect accompaniment to what we hope Mr DiGenova will finally be prosecuting. Would love to get Treepers thoughts on this. The material is nothing knew to us but to see it all documented in order in a book could be useful to those just waking up. There were a few new names that I hadn’t heard before – Julianne Smith, HRC’s campaign advisor for one – but otherwise the “gang” is all there. Wondering what you ya’ll think.
Books alone don’t move public opinion.
Will the press use the book to press those claims? To inform the public about these crimes?
As you point out, the truth is out. But the MSM won’t admit it. Won’t tell the public. Won’t shame the guilty.
About the only thing we can do to pierce this censorship and deflate the propaganda is guilty verdicts.
And guilty verdicts seem a near impossibility when the Judges are part of the crime and the DC juries use the courts to play politics.

The DOJ’s indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center is a chilling attack on civil rights advocacy. “Trump’s DOJ has been weaponized by dangerous forces.

they are not defending the klan. they are defending their source of funds. the odds are good they do the same thing and may very well get caught.
It is definitely an admission that funding racists to commit crimes is just standard anti-Trump politics.

The Democratic Party doesn’t merely “admire” Saul Alinsky. They worship him. Not with incense and candles, but with the cold, devotional precision of a death cult that has traded scripture for “Rules for Radicals” and replaced the cross with the clenched fist of perpetual grievance.
This is no exaggeration. It is pathology dressed in designer suits, metastasized into institutional power.
Alinsky…Chicago’s own community-organizer Machiavelli, the man who dedicated his seminal 1971 manifesto to Lucifer himself (“the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom”)…laid out the tactical blueprint for seizing power by any means necessary.
Ridicule your opponent. Polarize. Isolate. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules until the book itself becomes a weapon turned inward.
These are not suggestions. They are commandments.
And the modern Democratic Party recites them like a rosary of blood.
Look at the historical bloodline with intellectual honesty, not the sanitized campus pablum they peddle:
Hillary Clinton, fresh out of Wellesley in 1969, wrote her senior thesis as a love letter to Alinsky…titled, tellingly, “There Is Only the Fight.”
She interviewed the man himself, flirted with becoming one of his organizers, and only pivoted to Yale Law when the power calculus shifted.
Barack Obama? Groomed in the very streets Alinsky radicalized, a community organizer whose entire early career was a masterclass in Alinskyite agitation…manufacturing crises, pitting neighbor against neighbor, weaponizing “hope and change” as the velvet glove over the iron fist of demographic replacement and institutional capture.
This isn’t coincidence. It is catechism. A generation of hollowed-out narcissists and ressentiment addicts filling the God-shaped void with the only sacrament that still quickens their dead hearts: raw, unadulterated power.
Alinsky understood the human animal better than they admit.
Strip away the moral language, he taught, and politics is simply the art of making the other side bleed while you smile for the cameras.
Democrats internalized it so completely they no longer see it as strategy; they see it as ontology.
Their entire worldview is Alinsky distilled into policy: divide by race, by sex, by class; ridicule tradition as “fascism”; seize the institutions (media, academia, courts, tech) and never, ever let go.
The Constitution? A dead letter to be mocked. Individual liberty? A bourgeois illusion for the unenlightened. Philosophically, it is the purest expression of what Dostoevsky warned us about in The Possessed: revolutionaries who begin by promising utopia and end by worshipping the devil because nothing else satisfies the abyss.
Alinsky wasn’t a liberal; he was a nihilist with organizing charts.
His disciples in the DNC have perfected the art…turning every cultural wound into electoral capital, every riot into a fundraising email, every dissenting voice into an existential threat that must be canceled, deplatformed, or prosecuted.
They don’t debate. They excommunicate. Because debate implies equality. And equality is the one heresy their cult cannot tolerate.
This is why they froth at any pushback. Not because they fear losing an election. They fear losing the only religion that gives their empty lives meaning: the slow, sadistic strangulation of the American experiment.
They are not misguided idealists.
They are ideological vampires…pale, power-drunk ghouls who have feasted on the carcass of the republic for decades and now demand we thank them for the privilege of being drained.
Fu*k the soulless machine that treats Saul Alinsky not as a tactician, but as a dark saint whose gospel must be obeyed unto the last free breath of this nation. The fight isn’t left versus right anymore.
It’s civilization versus the cult that worships its own decay.

President Trump just dropped this gem! Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool: The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.
Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up. Trump said hell no. Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.
$1.5–2 MILLION
Done in 2 weeks

COMMON SENSE!
JUST IN: Iran just pulled a thirty-year-old empty supertanker out of retirement and began towing it toward Kharg Island.
She is moving so slowly that a voyage that should take a day and a half is taking four days.
Her name is NASHA. IMO 9079107. Built 1996. A two-million-barrel very large crude carrier that has been anchored empty off Kharg for years.
TankerTrackers confirmed her reactivation yesterday. Gulf News, Iran International, and Fox News all picked it up within hours.
The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil.
Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13.
Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues.
The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week.
NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy. A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production.
After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else.
The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough.
Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13.
That cannot absorb a million barrels a day.
The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back.
The Asmari and Bangestan carbonate formations that sit under most of Iran’s giant southern fields are high-permeability, strong-water-drive systems.
The Society of Petroleum Engineers literature on this specific reservoir class is unambiguous.
Remove continuous pressure support for a prolonged shut-in and four damage mechanisms activate simultaneously: water coning upward through the fracture network, fines migration into pore throats, formation compaction under increased effective stress, and clay swelling under altered salinity and pH.
The damage is not theoretical. It is documented. And it is measured in months to years of recoverable production capacity, not days.
Maleki and Gordon estimate three hundred to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss if the current shut-in trajectory completes.
That is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement, but the direction is not in dispute.
NASHA is the archaeological signature of the clock.
When a country with the world’s third-largest oil reserves reactivates a thirty-year-old retired tanker to float on top of its main export terminal and buy forty-eight hours of time, the institutional systems designed to absorb shocks have already failed.
The insurance market, the shadow fleet, the diplomatic channels, and the reservoir physics are all converging on the same conclusion at different speeds, and NASHA is the one that shows up on satellite.
The market is pricing a ceasefire.
The Pentagon is pricing six months of mine clearance.
Iran just pulled a corpse out of the Persian Gulf and asked it to buy two days.
That is not how a reversible crisis looks.
That is how a regime tells you, operationally, that it has run out of options between the blockade and the shut-in.
The reservoir does not negotiate.

To the Iranian Nut-Jobs, I say:
”Let them Drink their Oil”
Does this sound plausible to you?
A member of Congress .. (fill in the blank) .. financial disclosure shows household assets somewhere between $6 million and $30 million.
A short time later, after a few questions from the Office of Congressional Conduct, the same lawmaker amends the filing.
The new numbers show assets between $18,004 and $95,000.
The team has a simple explanation: ‘accounting error’. They insist so-and-so is “not a millionaire” and that the amended disclosure proves it. Attorney added that members of Congress routinely rely on accountants and that nothing untoward or illegal occurred.
That’s not a ’rounding error’, NOR a minor correction.

Ford government moves to make freedom-of-information clampdown law
Excerpt:
The overhaul will exclude the premier, his cabinet and all of their staff from disclosing emails, texts, phone records or any other documents they’ve created in their government work.

The overhaul will essentially exempt all records from the political side of government.
It will be retroactive, ending dozens of ongoing freedom-of-information requests for documents from the Ford government, rendering three ongoing court decisions moot and killing multiple appeals.

If a citizen votes for any democrat in 2026 ……. they ARE a democrat, not only in name but also in deed ….. they will own it forever.
Banning democrats from voting in America’s elections doesn’t go far enough. For their treasonous voting crimes, they need to be deported, post haste…… heck, most of them are illegals anyhow and should be deported on that fact alone.

New poll: Dems hold advantage on economy for 1st time since 2010
https://www.wnd.com/2026/04/new-poll-dems-hold-advantage-economy-1st-time/
Inflation and gas prices spiked again as a result of the Iran war, with the average national gas price standing at $4.03 as of this writing.
A few months of $4 dollar gas and the world is falling apart. But let’s compare Obama’s and Biden’s highest prices adjusted for inflation to Trump’s:
Obama’s hightest gas price per gallon $3.96 2012 2026 adjusted for inflation $5.70
Bidens hightest gas price per gallon $5.07 2022 adjusted for inflation $6.43
Trump’s hightest gas price per gallon $4.02 per gallon 2026
Where was everyone screaming the economy if falling apart then?
The prices of other goods have also risen since Trump took office, including beef, which has reached a record-high average of $6.70 per pound due to low cattle inventory.
What factors caused the low cattle inventory and when did this beef price increase begin?
Main factors: several years of severe drought (forcing herd liquidation and low heifer retention), high input costs (feed, fuel, labor), disease/import constraints (e.g., Mexico cattle issues, import tariffs/restrictions), strong consumer demand, and parts of the cattle cycle that delayed herd rebuilding.
When prices began rising noticeably: beef retail and wholesale prices started accelerating in 2024 and showed large year‑over‑year jumps through 2025, with the U.S. national herd at its smallest since 1951 by early 2025 — the price increases became pronounced across 2024–2025. – CNBc +1
Limited grazing lands / climate change: Climate-driven shifts (more frequent/severe droughts and heat) reduced forage availability and grazing days in key U.S. regions, prompting herd liquidation and slower rebuilds. This was a major contributor. Biden administration. Methane regulations/pressure: Concern about future methane regulations and corporate sustainability targets influenced some producers’ decisions (heifer retention and herd size), but this was a smaller, indirect factor compared with feed costs and drought. It contributed to caution but did not by itself cause broad herd reductions. Biden administration.South American droughts: Droughts and export disruptions in major South American exporters (notably parts of Brazil/Argentina) tightened global beef supply at times, adding upward pressure on prices. This was a meaningful international factor.Foreign buyers / consolidation of packers: Industry consolidation and increased foreign investment in U.S. meatpacking has reduced competition in some slaughter/processing markets; that can squeeze prices paid to ranchers and create bottlenecks. Consolidation is an important structural factor that amplified price pass‑through but didn’t directly reduce cattle inventory (it affected margins and logistics). Underlying supply issues predate the Trump administration. Key points, concisely:
Preexisting roots: Herd shrinkage, periodic droughts, rising input costs, and packing‑sector consolidation built up over the 2000s–2010s; those structural weaknesses existed before any Trump‑era tariffs or policy shifts.
Price spikes reported earlier: Localized and temporary retail spikes (including some reports of very high ground‑beef prices) occurred prior to 2017 in certain regions or outlets, driven by short‑term shortages, packer disruptions, or retail pricing decisions — but broad, sustained national retail‑price increases became more visible in the late 2010s and especially 2020–2025.
Media timing vs. reality: Coverage often intensifies around political events; that can make it seem like causes are new when they echo longer trends. The fundamentals (drought, herd cycles, consolidation, global supply shocks) were largely known to industry analysts before 2017.
Quit blaming Trump for everything that predated his term.
Yep .. per the media their Uni-Party pals … The economic improvements under President Trump between 2017-2020 never existed …. and the undoing of those improvement never happened 2020-2024 under the Auto-Pen Regime.
There is a total void in time between 2010 and 1 February 2025.
This would make a great AI generated movie .. oh to be a Chinese AI studio owner.
