Apparently Virginia Republican party is having a primary runoff for senate. I have heard nothing about it, no media, mailing etc. Three candidates, two of which are CIA mopes (fake candidates). Great work GOP. Looks Like Warner is a lock.
Voters in Virginia will elect one member to the U.S. Senate in the general election on November 3, 2026. The primary is August 4, 2026. The filing deadline was April 2, 2026. The election will fill the Class II Senate seat held by Mark Warner (D), who first took office in 2009.

That is how the RNCC rolls in allot of States.
They Work to hold the voter turn-out very low, by withholding advertising and enhancing “the favorability numbers” in media reports on their preferred candidate, so they can use relatively small Blocks of Ballots to tip the vote by “close margins”.
Best ordinary folks can do at this point is get out the word and encourage people to cast their VOTE, so it is not turned into a dumped Ballot, if needed, by some machine.
Indeed, that’s how the GOP campaign funding works, even here in Texas; not hearing much at all out of the Paxton Campaign for US Senate, whereas it’s all Talarico all the time ; have read that Thune as Chairman of the RNSC, has allotted $0 for the Paxton Campaign, though he has given well over $100 million to candidates in other states, Georgia specifically, and have read that the GOP is really pi$$ed at Trump/Paxton for Trump’s endorsement of the Paxton candidacy; IOW, the GOP establishment is working to get Paxton beat.
Yep … I live and vote in Collin County .. North of Dallas.
Been watching the media stories as well as noticed the utter lack of campaign support for Ken Paxton. Don’t be surprised if Corny Dog John Cornyn shows up in public to denounce him.
Thune’s sorry hide poured millions into fellow globalist Cornyn’s primary beatdown. Both total pieces of excrement.
I receive texts and emails every single day from the Paxton campaign, probably because I have donated a couple of times.
Talarico’s campaign has pulled in more than 3x what Paxton’s has. Maybe Elon will help out Paxton’s campaign with some money for radio and TV ad time.
And there is no Republican Party at all in Colorado.
i’ve seen it before in VA. If an upstart wins the GOP primary then the GOP tanks the race. They figure they can win next time against the Dem. But we are always supposed to vote for the rotten GOP establishment candidates.
I think the headline of this article that Zelenskyy “demands” US patriot missles is interesting.
Many will laugh at Z’s arrogance, but after watching our esteemed Congressmen slather over him and stand in line to kick his boots, I think it’s an actual demand, or should I say threat. Get me the missiles or I will release the blackmail.

Call his bluff please.
Or in the immortal words of Dirty Harry “Make my day!”
I wonder what would happen if the US provided targeting information to Russia that included Zelensky’s location?
It would become an international cry for the President’s head on a pike.
The optimal solution is to just ignore the Zelensky boot lickers in Con-gress and stop all international sales of arms to the EU, who then give them to the little dictator.
Quit feeding the EU period. Force them to do it themselves.
To hell with those people.
And they can take their precious Ukrainian flag pins with them.

Hero armed citizens saved lives. An armed populous protects lives and protects against tyrannical gov’t.
The actions of the good Samaritan may have saved lives by distracting the gunman long enough for diners and workers at the crowded burger joint to get away, according to Lane Koehn, who took the video from his car.

Good man, saved lives.
Our larger media tends to ignore this type of good citizen, while vilifying inanimate weapons. Height of stupidity tailored for – ????
As noted: “When seconds count, the police are minutes away.”
The 2nd Amendment is a NATIONAL defense policy, because a nation consists of its citizens in their homes. It places that first line of defense exactly where it must be.

Heinlin was very prescient.
Was Heinlein the author who imagined guns that teleport into your hands when you need them?

Max Blumenthal over at Grey Zone had his phone seized by Customs upon returning from Iran, lawsuit pending.
https://adc.org/adc-sues-dhs/
Interesting to note Max’s father is Sydney Blumenthal of Team Clinton Foundation fame, who was tangled in many important cheeky shenanigans, to include Benghazi.
WTF was this tool doing in Iran of all places?
“Negotiating” for somebody as well as gathering stuff to write that is pro-Iranian. Remember the Mayor of NY City has been reaching out to Iran as well. Would not be surprising if he went as representative of the Obama Foundation, which includes representing democrat members of Congress who did not want to go public.
Read this guys Biography. He writes for a who’s who of ant-Trump media outlets … yet there is this interesting tid bit that he also contributes to R/T News and oddly has some interesting thoughts on President Putin.
Plus, his phone likely had some interesting pictures stored.
Max Blumenthal – Wikipedia
A mean person would run decapitation air strike as well as hit something critical … then thank Max for the Information.
The America I grew up respected liberty and freedom. Who cares if he went to Iran?
Me.
The same people that think Hanoi Jane Fonda is a traitor….
Playing her Barbarella role on Hanoi’s Orgasmatron, err, anti aircraft guns.
Too bad the guns were still functional. In her movie, she destroyed the sex machine.
I agree!
Max went to Iran to cover the funeral of the Ayatollah and family.
🗞️ 📰
It was a historic event….which warranted on the ground coverage.
Seriously, why would anyone even closely associated with the Clintons and Democrats doing there, sounds pretty fishy to me. Logan, Actish.
He covered the funeral of the Ayatollah and family.🤷♀️
He also had interesting interview with CEO of Explosive Media,
showed the Jewish Synagogue that Israel bombed, and did a
few interviews with people on the street.
🙄 Old news….🤷♀️
Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald): “Max Blumenthal is in Iran, covering the massive turnout of Iranians for the funeral of Ali Khamenei (and his daughter and granddaughters), and somehow has survived despite being an American Jew”
Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal): “I’ve just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family “
Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal): “A response to Mark Levin, from the rubble of the Rafinia Jewish Synagogue in Tehran, Iran, which was bombed by Israel this April” | XCancel
It was a small turnout for the murderer, and most of it under coercion.
Grasshopper.. Job of Max Blumenthal is to inform whole World about situation on the ground in the Iran….because in the many places you do not get it….we know our urinologists/presstitutes are not willing go their and report what’s going on ….got it ????
….go there….
When you arrive at the United States on an international flight you’re luggage, electronic devices and yourself are subject to inspection by US CBP. That includes your cellphones. Coming from Iran of all places Max Blumenthal has no basis for a lawsuit.
Yep, it has been that way for the past 40 years.
When I traveled for my employers … it was always an empty loaner lap top and empty loaner phone. We also had to sign forms concerning stuff on these devices and even had to have US State Department Export License and Security Forms in hand.
Same was true going to an overseas location … which is the reason we were advised and at times directed NOT take personal electronic devices nor even our “official” work devices. Foreign Customs folks even use copyright excuses to take your devices.
One of Paul Joseph Watson’s best videos (12 minutes with an unfortunate paid promotion in the middle).
This one covers the Ceuta invasion.
Reports from annointed media and Spanish government sources are attempting to convince the world that the 60,000+ Muslims have turned around and gone back. Videos and reports from citizens and people on the ground call this desperate propaganda exercise for what it is…
Brazen lies.
Very much worth a watch. I am also providing a link to an excellent report by Modernity News which lays bare the depth of this event, the repercussions for what’s left of civilization in Europe are only beginning.
(News pursuant to the scantily clad young blonde woman enthusiastically welcoming the invaders in the video…she offered to help find food for some of them and has since disappeared without trace. Her cell phone has been turned off.)

“The hunt for Mojtaba Khamenei – though it is not being discussed publicly – is occupying a significant amount of time of both the Mossad and the CIA, Britain’s The Times reported. The newspaper has described how the two intelligence agencies are trying, both jointly and separately, to trace the whereabouts of Iran’s new supreme leader, who has not been seen in public since the assassination of his father at the end of February — an attack in which he himself was also wounded.”
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bywvkf3hmg#autoplay
Surely the Times knows. They’re on speed dial.
Recovering in a CIA run hospital is my guess with the appropriate propaganda running through the London Times.
When they had an extremely delayed funeral, who really was in that coffin?
Did Honorable Sen.Graham had open coffin ????
No
Perhaps he is dead after all.
Love President Trump but he’s becoming an empty suit when it comes to Iran.

“Love President Trump but…”
You could’ve stopped there.
I believe President Trump keeps falling for the “Being Played,” like wayyyy too much. This is getting agonizing.
The “but” always gives you people away.
It used to be “Trump needs to…”
I think it is the other way around. Trump knows their game. He is playing them.
His only restraint is that it is a balancing act.
US shifts course again as Israel stays silent and Iran mocks Trump’s retreat
For nearly four months, Trump has swung between threats of major strikes and calls for restraint; Israel has yet to respond to his claim that it joined the commitment to hold fire, while renewed uncertainty threatens flights and summer travel
Oh, No!
Summer travel plans are threatened?
Well! We better do something about that!

I’ve met a lot of interesting people, but never a “white people” or a “black people.”
Melanin in your skin protects you from solar radiation and skin cancer – a critical concern in the tropics. For this reason only, the amount you have is an inherited trait. It does not define who or what you are, nor what you can or cannot become. And, it does not confer any privilege.
When MLK referred to “the color of their skin,” there are FOUR colors that he was referring to. When we TYPECAST someone in this way, for any justification, we’re doing exactly what he spoke against.
Gosh ….I guess that means white people are never to go outside. P.S. You know dark draws in heat plus I heard BP get sunburned. No more science PLZ I am getting too smart.
The only white people are albinos and they come in all races and ethnicity.
a human being who is congenitally deficient in pigment and usually has a milky or translucent skin, white or colorless hair, and eyes with pink or blue iris and deep-red pupil.
Albinism can affect people of all races and ethnic groups, including Black people. Researchers estimate that OCA affects 1 in 20,000 people around the world. OA affects at least 1 in 60,000 males.

Does anyone know where you can get a yard sign that says something like this?
NO Socialist!
No Communist!
No Democratic Socialist Dictators!
I looked online and tried Amazon. You put that in and all you get No kings anti-Trump stuff. The Internet had some flags and bumper stickers like that but nothing about socialist/communist.
I did find this on Amazon by doing a image search, but:
Currently unavailable.
We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.
If someone has the capability to make and sell signs like that I think they could make a mint.
If you find a place let us all know about it.
YES!
Even one better that we can display next to other yard signs.
“No Communism”.
Many print shops do custom orders. Turnaround here is about one day.
There are sign making sites, just like T-shirt making sites. They may have a minimum order though.
Here is the first link that came up:
https://www.yardsignplus.com/
Found a flag like that..
https://www.ebay.com/itm/115016102102
Hard to read – yard sign is better
You can order any kind of sign you’d like off ebay. Lots of sellers, pretty low prices, and they’ll work with you to make the signs any way you’d like.
I ordered 10 4’x6′ signs for my husband’s and my 50th anniversary in 2024. Each one had an old photo of us on it. Some had words added, some had multiple photos. Hung them up between trees in our yard as decorations for the party.
I’ve had large signs made for politicians, too. Had a 3’x 10′ President Trump sign made for the back of my husband’s trailer, and 4’x4′ signs to put up along busy roads.
Good idea for great signs!
When manufacturing was being dismantled in the West and exported to the 3rd World (China,Mexico et al) and the American middle class now being replaced by the participation trophy class…must learn this phrase, “you want fries with that burger”.
Those of us old enough can remember hearing, we will no longer manufacture things but turn into a Service based economy. Shortly after Rockefeller/Kissinger opened China it began, you can envision them rubbing their grubby rat paws together, a “billion slaves”.
The glo-bull-ist conundrum, how do we get Americans and the West in general, to commit suicide?
Some pencil headed geek “academic” raised their hand, “I know!” We’ll start with kids via “education” and convince people of the West they are killing planet earth and they they’ll self-immolate; a twofer we’ll get rid of pesky Americans with Western ideals and the “green/Marxist” plan will be implemented…utopia/Cuba.”
If their Marxist utopia fully blossoms in the West they will get rid of intellectuals, politicians, educators, No Kings geriatric protestors aka “useless eaters” just like Mao, Pol-Pot et al. simply put; “Useful idiot, bullet, ditch”
Back to the demons who still wanted to cull the herd, to get to their eugenics in the 3rd world it appears that they had to allow the destruction of the West.
What we are enduring in the West is part of their evil plan. We either fight or die. Give me another reason for this level of stupidity.
MAGA! …with God the only way.

Winston Marshall interviews Steven Barrett about the Fabians.
Winston Marshall began podcasting after being kicked out of his band for retweeting a congratulatory X post to celebrate the publication of Andy Ngo’s book. Steven Barrett had to resign from his law practice with a prestigious London law firm because of one of his X posts that was retweeted by Tommy Robinson.
Rumble link:
https://rumble.com/v7djeqy-the-sinister-truth-about-the-fabian-society.html?e9s=src_v1_vyml
According to The Law Society Gazette,
Barrett came under fire last week following a post on social media site Twitter, now branded X, where he claimed to have been ‘privately contacted by a police officer…and told that what we are being told about the Southport stabbing is being managed and that their priority is that our response is managed’.
Sundance has told us that the managing of responses is why the DOJ’s Community Relations Service exists.
Sundance has posted about the Fabians. Dropping that term in the search box on this website brings up things worth reading again.

2026 Virginia Senate Republican Primary
B. Mizusawa 87%
W. Farington 13%
J. Miyares 2%
“Retired Major Army General Bert Mizusawa has the most amount of cash on hand of the three GOP candidates, clocking in with nearly $53,000 in cash on hand at the end of the second quarter, per the FEC. His main priorities highlighted in his platform include reigning in national spending, simplifying the tax code, defending the military and Second Amendment, promoting nuclear energy, and securing the border.”

‘He’s betrayed us all’: Marjorie Taylor Greene teases major next step in fight against Trump
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Saturday dropped a telling sign that she and Tucker Carlson could be planning to start a new political party in the wake of their very public breakups with Donald Trump and the GOP.
Greene shared a picture to her social media feed showing her and her husband, Brian Glenn, sitting at a wooden table with Carlson at his studio in Maine.
The group is joined by two noteworthy faces: Rep. Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who lost a primary battle against a Trump-backed opponent after he and Greene pushed for the release of the Epstein files; and Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who abruptly resigned from his post in March in protest of the president’s Iran war.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/he-s-betrayed-us-all-marjorie-taylor-greene-teases-major-next-step-in-fight-against-trump/ar-AA29ffZL
Show me where President Trump promised to shirk his duty if he believed America’s National Security is at stake.
Marjorie Taylor-Stompyfoot can’t tell a #FakeWar instigated by the World Mafia from a #RealWar targeted at the World Mafia. That’s because we’ve never seen one until President Trump.
PDT had to act, not because of Israel, but because of Democrats. If they ever came back to power, they would have sent Iran nukes directly, not just billions to build one.
All of those people decided that if defending America helps Israel, then America must not be defended.
That is an anti-Christ deception from the pit of hell.
How about #No New Wars–on President Trump, for a change?

After carefully reviewing the slate of possible Democratic Senate candidates in Maine, party leaders informed voters that they’ll simply have to settle for one or the other.
“What do these people expect from us when they say we can’t run a rapist?” said party leader Mike Prather. “Once you take all of the rapists out of the equation, it’s just a bunch of liberals sleeping with their cousins. Those are your options, Maine. Honestly, we’re getting pretty frustrated with these voters and their ridiculous expectations. Deal with it, people.”
Ya, it’s your ridiculous expectations that are the problem 😂
We wish. This party always comes back from the dead. They don’t quit, they don’t stop, they don’t apologize, they don’t say sorry, they just find ways to get it done. Offence, offence, offence. And there is always money–lots of it–from sources all over the place.

Not a good look, when nurses are imported from India and are paid very low salaries. And American nurses are sidelined or just ‘not hired’.
He gets worse by the day…
Agree. It’s about lowering labor costs. I was in San Antonio a month ago visiting a friend in the hospital, and the majority of nurses on the floor were Philipinoes. I asked the charge nurse about my observation, and she, an Hispanic, replied saying only that it was an “economic issue” for the hospital.
I am not disparaging the Philipinoes, just reporting my experience.

Dana Bash, is a shrew!
To RJH: I’m a Virginian and I am supporting David Williams to fill the Senate seat soon to be vacated by Sen. Warner. I spoke with Mr. Williams at an Orange County Republican meeting last February and was very impressed by his ideas. He expressed views that were more MAGA than any of the other candidates, and to paint him with the broad brush stroke of CIA, us disingenuous at best, sir.
That’s quite a “new party”…

We need more gun control… AKA… Cowboys with guns stopping bad guys with guns. That is control.
Saturday. August 1st. Two twenty-nine in the afternoon, Mountain time.
A brand-new In-N-Out on Blue Lakes Boulevard North in Twin Falls, Idaho. The place had been open for exactly EIGHT DAYS. Busy shopping plaza, Saturday lunch rush, hundreds of people in the area. Kids in the back seat. Drive-thru line wrapped around the building the way it always is at a new one.
Three people are dead. Seven more were shot. Two of them were still in critical condition Sunday afternoon. One of the dead was an employee who clocked in that morning to make somebody a burger.
And before the coroner had finished, before a single family had been notified, before the police chief had even said the shooter’s name out loud, the same people who have been running the same play since Columbine were back on your timeline demanding GUN CONTROL.
Fine.
Let us talk about control. I teach physics for a living. I know precisely what that word means, and I promise you it does not mean what you think it means.
