This FAKEBOOK FALLS FRIDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA KAG! world.
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
Always be able to tell our VSG this POWER STATEMENT in TRUTH:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.

It is extremely gratifying to finally see the Silicon Valley Social Media Censors being taken to task by Senator Josh Hawley.

This guy totally gets it. Silicon Valley is now a COMMUNIST THUG OPERATION, operating out of ENEMY TERRITORY in CHINA-OCCUPIED CALIFORNIA.
There was a point in time when people realized we needed to go after Section 230. I remember posting quite a bit about it. THAT was when we finally had some kind of idea WHERE to attack the beast. But BEFORE THAT, we merely recognized that something was WRONG with Silicon Valley, and they would have to be ORDERED not to censor – possibly even BROKEN UP.
Steve Bannon was the first on populism’s side to prominently suggest this. What was NOT obvious THEN, but is extremely obvious NOW, is that the left’s MASSIVE attacks against Steve Bannon began IMMEDIATELY AFTER he began talking “anti-trust” against Silicon Valley.
Now – after talking to Tonawanda today, I realize COMPLETELY how socialism in general, and Silicon Valley in particular, snuff out ideas that they don’t like – by a very stealthy campaign to keep the discussion level of that item below some critical value that THEY UNDERSTAND.
SO – now that I understand how Google and YouTube are actually run by RED DIAPER SOCIALIST THUGS – certain things make sense – that these organizations might “farm out” the silencing of viewpoints they don’t particularly want to reach whatever critical value they must not reach. And we all know that OUTSOURCING is actually a form of denial of “how it got done”. When “methods” have to be used – why – just outsource! Outsourcing – oddly enough – turns out to be a form of the MAMET PRINCIPLE – “pretending not to know”.
On July 30, 2017, I made the unknowingly risky decision to publish a piece SUPPORTING Steve Bannon’s “radical” and “unthinkable” idea of reining in Silicon Valley censorship. It was based on the idea that SOME kind of “information anti-trust” was fully in line with Trump’s form of populism – that this was almost DESTINY for the MAGA movement.

It was NOT HARD for me to figure out that, after ALL the left-provoking things I’ve risked over the Obama years, the FIRST EVER STAKING OUT of my lowly abode JUST MIGHT HAVE BEEN CONNECTED to that little article, and the surprisingly warm reception it got. (Don’t trust the numbers on Twitter – more on that later.)
The intimidation actually got way worse, as in “classic thug type”, but there is no way that I, personally, can positively connect it to Silicon Valley. But I simply assume that the threat came from there. I stepped on SOMEBODY’S hedge fund.
I should note that whatever I or others did in response, it ended the problem. For a while.
Great Awakening, baby. Think they don’t use violence? Don’t think they use threats? Think again. The bogus staged Charlottesville incident (August 11-12) and the Las Vegas Massacre (October 1) followed shortly after this.
Followed – thankfully – by the firing of Treasonous McCabe and the deployment of QAnon, due to – in my opinion – militarily significant actions by the communists in conjunction with a politically motivated COUP ATTEMPT using the FBI and the Soviet American media.
Vegas was the last straw for “puttin’ up with the coup”. And I’m very glad people did what was needed after that, to end that bullshit.
Go on from there, to see how I was “awakened” to censorship at Twitter. This is actually a lot of fun to read, because in it, I am SPECULATING WILDLY about all sorts of stuff that we now know was not just true, but RIDICULOUSLY TRUE. Oh, man, that was fun.

From there, I eventually got on the “230” bus, almost a year later. Here is a nice thread:
Archived here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1034468267056930816.html
Clearly, BANNON’S idea of actually CHALLENGING Silcon Valley took hold. Red Diaper Sergey and Google pulled back from China to Communist California, and – well – now we can see that….
IT TAKES A VILLAGE OF PATRIOTS ON THE INTERNET TO SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERY OTHER VILLAGE OF PATRIOTS IN REAL LIFE.
Heck – I may just have a Sam Adams.
And ponder the beauty of my new favorite composite number, 230.
W
When we post tweets here…does it generate a ‘pingback’ back to Twitter?
In other words, does Twitter know when we post a tweet somewhere?
I’ve noticed how the tweets seem ‘connected’ to Twitter, because of the way that a tweet will change in a post here…if the tweet is deleted on Twitter.
The tweet is in Twister’s database. When someone loads a page with it here, WP asks Twister for the data and displays it for the user at the Q Tree.
Yikes.
So…each tweet is like a little ‘filament’ back to Twitter’s database?
I’ve also noticed that the number of Likes will update on a tweet posted here, as the tweet ages.
So this explains it.
A way to get around twitter’s control is to copy the text.
Then put the text inside [angle bracket open blockquote angle bracket close] and do a right click to copy the twiter URL embeded in the date. (add * in front to disable)

HTML Tutorial
https://www.quackit.com/html/tutorial/
I also like to do screenshots of tweets, and I even use those images on TWITTER, rather than “retweeting”. Saves the images of tweets that are likely to be deleted, too.
I’ve noticed that the Anons over on 8chan do screenshots of tweets, rather than posting a tweet.
Now that I think about it…I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ‘live’ tweet posted there.
I need to learn how to do screenshots.
Is it hard to do?
I’ll do a tutorial later. Good idea. Too late now for me to get started. But a good idea.
Wolfie. You might want to check out anonymous conservatives blog
Also I can’t get into phcs site. Hope he’s ok
Super-simple screenshot method (I’m sure Wolf has better tricks, but I’m here right now):
Find the “function” button on your keyboard (fn, usually lower left). Find the “Print screen” button (prt sc, usually upper right, can be under another word on the button, mine is under “insert”). Get whatever it is you want to screenshot where you want it on the screen. Hold “function” and press “print screen.” You have copied the image of your ENTIRE screen, and you only want a piece of it, so I usually go to Word, paste in the image (press control + V, or left click on the document and click ‘paste’. Then in the “Picture Tools” tab at the top of the page, go to “Crop” (usually in the tool bar on the far right), click it and crop your image. Save it as a jpg.
Everyone has their on way to get images from their computer on to here. I actually use the meme generator imgflip.com because it’s easy.
Thanks, Aubergine!

thanks ! 🙂
Windows: You can use the Screen Snipping tool that’s built in.
There are good screenshot utilities out there. Snagit is popular for Windows and Mac but at a small price. Greenshot is free, full of features that make it a little confusing at first.
This is a common question, search DuckDuckGo for “screenshot tutorial” or “screenshot how-to” should come up with a lot of good hits.
Assuming you are using Windows I also recommend Paint.Net as an image editor. It’s more like Windows Paint but with a lot of nice features, but not as steep a learning curve as The Gimp.
and here’s how to use the Snipping Tool in Windows to capture a Screen Shot…
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots
On an iPhone or iPad you just hold down the power button and then click the home button to put a screen shot of your whole screen in your camera roll.
To do it faster without wearing out your physical buttons, you go (only have to do this once) into Settings/General/Accessibility and turn on AssistiveTouch. Under that option, pick Customize Top Level Menu, and make sure there is a Screenshot button there.
Now you will always have a little grey and white virtual button, like a little ghost, on your screen. You can drag it anywhere to get it out of the way. When you press it once, your top level menu appears. You press your Screenshot button there and the entire screen, minus the top level menu, gets captured to your camera roll.
Hey Wheati, if you have an android you can hold the power button at the same time you hit the “down volume” button to take a screenshot of what exactly appears on your screen. Then use the photo editor if you need to crop it.
On a Mac computer running OS X, you hold down the Command key (also labeled with a 4-leaf clover) and the shift key at the same time. While keeping them down, press the number 4 (the regular number, not F4) on the row above the letters. (I haven’t tried the number pad 4 in a while, but I dimly recall that might not work.)
It sounds complicated, but once you’re used to it, it’s an instantaneous one-hand gesture, like using Command-V to paste.
That turns the mouse cursor on screen into a little cross, like the target cross on a fighter jet’s display. It has 2 little numbers. The top one is how far to the right the cursor is from the left edge of the screen. The bottom number is how far down you are from the top of the screen. Both numbers are in pixels.
Anyway, visualize in your mind’s eye the smallest rectangle or square that will surround the whole Tweet, pic, graph, block of text, etc. that you want to capture. Use the mouse or mousepad to move the center of the targeting cross to any corner of the imaginary rectangle. Just eyeball it. No need to refer to the numbers unless you want numerical coordinates for some reason.
Now hold down the mouse button (main button, usually on left if there is more than one.) While holding this button down, drag the cursor to the opposite corner of your imaginary rectangle. As you drag, you will see a box form. This gives you guidelines to make sure you get everything you want.
When you release the mouse button, everything in the box will be screenshotted to a file on the right side of your desktop.
If you change your mind before releasing the button, press the Esc key to escape out instantly. Then no file will be saved, and you can always start over.
If you press Command Shift 2, instead of 4, it will instantly screenshot the whole screen. But this is typically much less useful, unless you are teaching a computer class. One sequence captures a single window. I thought it was Command Shift 3, but that doesn’t seem to work now, and I’ve forgotten the details. Very useful, particularly if a window is obscured, or it is too wide to fit on the screen all at once.
Screenshots are above my expertise. Basic HTML is about all I know.
However, as is obvious from my ‘notes’, anything I think is important gets copied to my LibreOffice to be archived.
Ooh, ooh, ooh! I can do screen shots. I’m on the road to tech stardom………..not.
I can screen shot but then can only link to iCloud photos
i can do jello shots…does that help??
Let’s do vodka shots with jello and see what we come up with
It helps, with some things 😄
do we really need the jello? LOL
Is that Swahili?
Oh boy am I going to be tired when the alarm goes off this morning…
Sorry to keep you up late! Hope you get some quality sleep! 😎
I got busy and am trying to catch up…..is there a summary of what the problem is with PHC from yesterday?
There is no summary. Not sure I want one. Let me sleep on this.
technical or the human kind?
cuz I can tell you what the human one was…
people visit PHC’s site all day and all night long…they post songs, prayers, brief messages or whatever and he reads them whenever he’s awake.
he usually responds or at least likes everything…and since he started the site, he’s been a fairly early riser…but time zones VARY…
yesterday Patrick slept in (bless his heart) and many posters were concerned (it is hospice after all) for his well being…and some were getting very anxious about it
then a couple of very protective friends set everyone straight…to give the man time to rest and respond when he can and wants to.
if there were technical problems, I haven’t a clue…
I used to sit with many terminal ill people. There was a fine line I had to remind myself not to make them feel responsible for me that they had to be there for me and not what was time for them. Even evening I gave them permission and they were grateful. I am not sure what stage Patrick is only God and he knows.
I go and check quietly in and see he and his friends have fun and leave.
May God keep him in the palm of His Hands and surround him with Love.
AMEN!
In his Tues night show, Tucker Carlson reported on a ‘Global Alliance’ between Big Tech + Telecoms + LeftistMedia…for the purpose of censoring any conservative messages…world wide.
He called it a Leftist Takeover of the Internet.
This seems like a violation of our Anti-Trust Laws.
Yes it is. There was a write up by Purdue Univ about price fixing among a cabal of Multi-national corporations.
Here is one case, the one I was thinking of:

Here is another (same Prof.):

I posted Brian Cates good thread about Social Media and their “influence” and how much they do, do not suppress us. It’s worth reposting again. Then I have a very smart friend who said this after I shared Cates thread:
“He is 100% correct. I’ve said it before, there was no social media during Reagan’s two wins, the 1st one everyone knew something was wrong, the 2nd time he’d kept his promises.”
IMO, and I observed similar strength in the two Florida state seats Special Election outcomes/voter enthusiasm We over-performed for GOP dominated districts – meaning we’re silent, but deeply engaged.
It’s a very nice night out tonight …..
P.S.
And…. President Trumps rally was BEAUTIFUL.When he was here for the rally’s during the campaign .. There was magic in the air everywhere.. A very positive energy had everyone in town feeling good.Kinda feels like that tonight, out in the air…
Wow – what an article…… makes me stop and ponder a bir. Just getting caught up after a few days away- today is intermittent too.
I need to do a deep dive on everything to catch up…. prayers to all. Here we go!
“Wolff’s Law” …is this a thing?
Yes.
Wolff’s Law of Bone Remodeling
This is the Anatomical Principle that bones will grow and remodel themselves in response to the forces, or stresses, that are placed upon them.
This principle was developed by German surgeon and anatomist Julius Wolff in 1892, as ‘Wolff’s Law of Transformation’.
Wolff’s Law is causing people to grow ‘horns’ on their skulls…as a result of spending hours using smart phones.
Yes. It’s true!
Young people…and people of all ages, really…are growing bone spurs, or horn-like growths, on the back of their skulls from spending so many hours looking down at their phones or iPads.
Staying in this posture of ‘looking down’ for hours, stretches the muscles in the back & neck…so the skull, which is a bone, responds by growing spurs.
[youtube

Silly Billy’s. All teenagers are demonic. Some grow out of it.
It helps to have awareness of what your body is doing and to use the muscles to have good posture instead of hunching over or protruding the head forward or letting the ribs collapse. I doubt that people with athletic and dance training are prone to growing “horns.” Obviously horns are a sign that the body is being forced into positions it wasn’t meant to be in, because it’s having to adapt.
Wonderful—now kids will purposely hold their heads down so that they grow horns. Think I am joking? We already have people that surgically implant horns and many other things.
BREAKING:
Refinery on fire in Philadelphia, a few miles from the Philly Airport.
There were reports of huge explosions…felt from miles away.
People were awakened.
Blast wave broke windows and knocked pictures off walls.
Firefighters are currently working on the blaze at the Refinery, trying to get it extinguished.
It’s too soon to know if this was an ‘accident’…or what.
But it is hard not to be suspicious, given everything that is going on.
OMG – this one is a SCREAM!!! LOL!!!
This is a slow burn…but it makes me laugh every time I see it.
LOL. It was like watching a moonrise, for the first 90 percent of the video.
Hello all. The May report for the federal budget was released and like 64 out of the last 65 years, it was a deficit.
We took in $232b and spent $440b for a deficit of $208b
The cumulative federal deficit is now $739b and we are on pace for one of the worst years in history. If Dems ever ran on fiscal discipline, this would be an easy win for them.
They cannot DO what they are not – so THAT ain’t going to happen 😉
Well, I can picture them suddenly making this an issue, even if they have to lie through their teeth about their true intent. It would be a way to try to split off people concerned about burgeoning debt and overspending (such as, say, me) from the “Trumpers” (as they call us when they’re trying to be polite).
Is it not the House that draws up a budget?
Is the House not run by the Dems?
As I said, they cannot do that which they are not – and being fiscally responsible is that which they are not …
But if they want to have a crack – it would be fun to watch 🙂
Like I said…they can campaign on it and use the same excuse we do: Why pass such a budget when the Senate won’t pass it and the POTUS would just veto it.
Besides, it’s actually NOT true that budgets must start in the house. It’s TAX BILLS that must start in the house. Article I, section 7.
Hi NYGuy!
*waves*
It’s good to see you!
Thank you….almost back to 100%. My head is completely cleared. I worked very hard at getting thinner and stronger. So my new picture represents that.
Hey, you just changed that because it was a Trump picture a few minutes ago.
Heheh.
Glad your head is better!
😊😘
That is very good news.
Woohoooo, NYGuy is looking good and feeling spry!!
That is great news, NYGuy. Glad to hear about your impriving health 👏👏
BUT under President Trump it is not only decreasing in size it’s doing it exponentially
No it isn’t. We are on track for one of the worst annual deficits in history.
” We are on track for one of the worst annual deficits in history.”
Not really suprising since President Trump could not get a budget through the ‘ReBOOBlican’ Congress with Paul Ryan PURPOSELY FIGHTING HIM the entire time.
EXPECT a GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN in September folks.
This is one of the reasons I did not see a DemonRat Congress as a ‘problem’ President Trump’s hands are now completely untied and he can fight as hard as he wants without it looking like he is fighting his own party.
Since Mck Mulvaney made some major changes I think with the comming shutdown some government departments will NOT be reopenned.
House of Commies. Nothing productive gets done while communism holds the House hostage.
Nothing productive got done while the Republicans held it either.
Of course that doesn’t necessarily contradict your statement…if you think about it.
Hi NY Guy!!!
hope you and your NY Gal are doing well!!
NYGuy!! Man, I’ve wondered how you been. Nice to see you!
So fascinating that they have Dem voters reduced to this level of reasoning.
^^^^^^^ Love this meme!‼️^^^^
Showdown in Oregon. Repubs walk out to avoid giving the Dems (the majority) a quorum to ram thru legislation the Repubs can’t fight…Governor orders State Police to arrest them to bring them back. (Repubs are hiding out in other states at the moment.)
FTA:
“It is absolutely unacceptable that the Senate Republicans would turn their back on their constituents who they are honor-bound to represent here in this building,” Brown said in a statement. “They need to return and do the jobs they were elected to do.”
A vote on House Bill 2020 was scheduled for Thursday morning.
Declining to show up for the floor session means the Senate lacks the quorum needed to conduct business. With 18 members in the Senate, Democrats hold the majority, but they need two Republicans to reach a quorum of 20.

I’ve been watching this and it is hilarious. Oregon governor is out of her mind.
LOVE the Oregon Repub Senators.
i do too! the session is over June 30th so they have to remain out of state till then…they only need 2 of them for a quorum.
the fact that they left the State shows strategic thinking! LOL
Shades of Wisconsin dems back in 2011…..
I think Dims in one other state did the same thing a little later…
Anyone remember that?
So the precedent has been set!
Can the state Leo’s cross borders to get them?
the article said no–they have to stop at state lines–not hot pursuit lol…but not sure
So you couldn’t stand 2 feet from the border saying nana nana naha
Born, raised and educated in Oregon….haven’t lived there in decades, but I distinctly remember the Democrats doing this very thing. Remember the ones that fled eventually got tired of being away and returned to business.
Wonder if sending the state troopers out is legal…have they broken the law?
Democrats in Texas have done this a number of times
I received this analogous email from The NRA today:
“As the legislative session comes to an end, Oregon Senate Minority Caucus left the Capitol building and are refusing to attend floor sessions in order to prevent a quorum on certain pieces of legislation. Because of this, anti-gun legislators are now threatening to bring back the omnibus gun control package, Senate Bill 978, by forcing a floor vote should enough Senators return to the Capitol. Please click the link below to thank our pro-gun senators for standing up for our Second Amendment rights!
Contact Your Senators!
As a reminder, here is a breakdown of Senate Bill 978 and why it would adversely impact your Second Amendment rights:
Legalize age discrimination for firearm dealers to allow them to refuse service to young adults for no reason other than being under the age of 21.
Impose a one-size-fits-all government solution for firearm storage and require them to be made unavailable for self-defense.
Further victimize gun owners who have suffered a loss or theft of their property with criminal penalties if they fail to follow certain requirements when reporting them, including holding the gun owner strictly liable for the future illegal acts committed by criminals using the stolen firearm.
End the centuries-old practice of home manufacturing firearms for lawful, personal use.
Allow local governments to create “gun-free zones” in public buildings, colleges, and airports where law-abiding citizens are disarmed and left defenseless against criminals who ignore such arbitrary boundaries

Mural of George Washington that ‘traumatizes students’ to be covered up
https://www.thecollegefix.com/mural-of-george-washington-that-traumatizes-students-to-be-covered-up/
All of this started because American CEO’s caved to the online mobs. Give them an inch and they take a mile.
Read today it would cost $600,000 to cover it. Wonder where that money will “found.”
If the Republicans were smart, they would slip the Democrats the money to pay for it.
This is a huge political opportunity. The Democrat insanity in California is doing EXACTLY what Trump predicted to the media with Charlottesville, when they tried to make us start taking down statues of the Founding Fathers.
This is a golden puddle of SHIT that the Democrats have stepped into. I say make sure they ROLL IN IT.
Jump up and down in it gleefully, they should.
California Dems MUST discredit themselves on this. Particularly a certain presidential candidate.
Trump should jump all over this. EASY POINTS. This is like KNEELERS SQUARED.
He can basically shame every California politician who has NOT SHAMED this action themselves.
And remember my new saying about “KNEELERS” (which I’ve reduced to a SLAVE’S shame word)
“KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTERS, OR STAND UP FOR GOD, COUNTRY, AND YOUR FLAG”
The KNEELERS kneel before their MASTER. WHO is their MASTER?
“Kneel before Zod!”
It is not the students—they are a product of their indoctrination—the producer being the ‘education’ system.
Watch the murals get vandalized so they’ll have to be replaced.
Hicks’ transcript released…nothing new supposedly added. but the skeevy pervs were noted…
FTA:
In his line of questioning, Nadler focused almost exclusively on issues related to Lewandowski. Throughout the session, Lewandowski’s name was mentioned 68 times. Nadler even referred to Hicks as “Ms. Lewandowski” on three separate occasions until Hicks was forced to correct him. “My name is Ms. Hicks,” she said.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Hicks,” Nadler replied. “I’m preoccupied.”
It was Michael Wolff’s book, Fire and Fury, claimed that Hicks was romantically linked to Lewandowski. After the deposition, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who is not a member of the committee, said his sources in the room noted how “old, pervy” Democrats pressed Hicks about her love life.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house-judiciary-releases-hope-hicks-transcript
‘Old Pervy Democrats’ seems to be the norm.
They’re. Just. EVIL.
Inquires regarding one’s “love life” easily snswered.
Quite emphatically, “100% non of your damn business!”
That’s a good answer but I like mine.
“Better than yours.”
😉
No doubt true!
WP having a hissy fit on me again.
Alright, someone fill me in. News pundits are in full blown MELTDOWN over Iran and the President calling off the strike.
Everyone banging war drums on the LEft and the Right.
What the heck?
President sent a message to Ayatollah through leader in Oman, Trump asked to talk, lot of issues on the table. but no response.
Centcom must be on fire.
Don’t trust John Kerry and the Obama team at all……… Ben Rhodes is far too engaged, like he was counting on the strikes and disappointed Trump did not follow through. Almost like a set up – smells “off” or “bad”.
Haspell and Pompeo on board for a strike……. who the EFF leaked it to the NYTimes?????????
I would say Pelosi or Schumer…I didn’t read the articles, but headlines say they came out of the WH yesterday SMILING–when are they ever happy after a meeting with POTUS? so i think they thought the strikes were coming and leaked the news…but I will go read those stories now…
To me, this tends to indicate POTUS just executed a jiu jitsu reverse setup of the people who set him up, by okaying the strike, then calling it off at T minus 10.
It indicates he was suspicious, and flushed out from the shadows some people who were anxious to see him fail.
Any individual person who was involved (like maybe Pompeo) could conceivably have been in on the sting, along with POTUS.
Not so sure in this regard about Haspel, former CIA Station Chief in London when Mr. Strzok and Mrs. Page were there interviewing disinformation provider Christopher Steele and celebrating their own “wheels up, rings off” fake honeymoon in the Corinthian Hotel.
Iran, in my view, already has nuclear weapons. The weapons have already been tested underground (in China’s other Mini-Me, N. Korea, A.K.A. Norkistan,) and are ready to go.
And the Mullahs spent hundreds of millions of $s on a package of EMP technology and hardware from Russia, even before Soebarkah released the Shah regime’s assets and bribed them with planeloads of crisp folding money.
Even one of those EMP devices exploding high enough over the central USA would knock out all three electric power grids (East, West, and Texas) in the Lower 48, and basically end civilization as we know it. And a missile doesn’t have to be launched from Iran. It could be launched from the deck of a commercial freighter in the Gulf of Mexico, or from Venezuelan territory. We don’t have NORAD radars or defensive ABM missiles in that part of the country to shoot it down.
One missile, carrying one bomb, we’re dead. It doesn’t have to be really aimed. Just explode at a high enough altitude over the middle of the country.
So I definitely want the Mullahs out, pronto. Tucker Carlson, for all the good he does, and as bright as he is, hasn’t figured all this out yet.
But I favor encouraging unrest from within to effect a native regime change. Failing that, I favor some type of military coup-de-main operation that would result in the mullah regime definitively falling.
What I want to avoid is the type of precisely-calculated, tit-for-tat BS that is so dangerous and gets so many of ours killed to no end. Of course, what I don’t want is exactly what the Establishment of foreign policy “experts” do want. They apparently put something in the water on the Harvard/Yale/Georgetown/Tufts campuses that distorts the human brain that way.
this story says Schumer and Pelosi were “celebrating” after the WH meeting and there’s a photo. CNN says it’s not about Iran; Pelosi asked after Schumer’s mom who was in the hospital and they’re celebrating cuz she is OK…
FTA:
CNN reporter Seung Min Kim tried to explain it away by stating definitively on Twitter: “Schumer was telling Pelosi he was overjoyed because his mother had just been released from the hospital and is OK. Pelosi had asked how his mother, who had been rushed to the ER, was doing.”
http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=60371
Calling BS on Narco Nan!
Did you see that little clip that showed Schumer, Pelosi and crew, all happy-happy and giddy after their meeting at the WH yesterday?
That was when they thought the air strikes were going to be happening.
I’m sure they were crestfallen when they heard the strikes were called off.
Hah.
They probably already had their narrative planned…to call PDJT a “hot head” and “dangerous” if he hit Iran with air strikes.
I think that Pres Trump is handling this just fine.
😁
All the usual warmongers are disappointed.
Fk em.
Pres Trump is not falling into this trap.
In that brief time between when the air strikes were set in motion…and when they were called off…some of the Dems were already talking about how “Trump doesn’t have the authority” to engage us in a war.
They would’ve proceeded straight to “Impeach him now” if he had gone through with the air strikes.
agreed…another trap…avoided!
Trump is a genius! Amazing. He has DEFINED his ENEMIES and their DUPES.
Khashoggi me once, shame on you.
Khashoggi me twice, shame on me.
Brennan me once, Brennan me twice
Why in the FUCK is that BASTARD FREE?
To create self-confidence in the losing side. The more confident they are, the more blind they get.
I do think they were blind on this. It was too easy. That may be intentional, though. I think Kim is being set up by China to put on a political suicide vest and solve TWO problems for China. And then the ChiComs pretend they had nothing to do with it.
Very interesting game right now.
NEVER Forget that President Trump + AG Sessions = FISA WARRANT for a YEAR without going through any courts. link
Any bets there have been warrants out ‘observing’ the ‘Shadow Government’?
Remember Q’s
We have it ALL
These People are Stupid.
Do you really think John Kerry and Oh!111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bummer, while they were flitting around were SMART ENOUGH to managed to escape surveillance?
I’m convinced they’ve had it all for a long, long time and it continues today.
My question is that the cabal keeps on merrily doing their thing, even openly, as in O going around with his shadow government. Are they that arrogant? Are they unable to change direction? Is is desperation? What degree of confidence do they have of success at this point?
Grandpa just said O buzzes around because he is heavily invested in a revenue stream of going around and being a gofer ambassador for the NWO special interests.
Heavily invested, and I would be willing to entertain the idea that his privates or very existence are on the chopping block if he fails to keep alliances going.
“They” have too much invested in him to allow him to fade into the night.
Yes. It makes a lot more sense now. Grandpa has some keen insights. 😊
Agree, DP…..definitely PAY FOR PLAY….When he (Michelle, Hillary, et al) are summoned, they’d better show up and perform… think organ grinder and monkey.
They all sold their souls to the Devil…eyes open and willingly.
Last night, I noted that OT posted suspiciousness of Barr, et al and Rosenstein remains on their bad list.
Does anyone have a brief summary of POTUS’ interview with Hannity from Wednesday night? I haven’t anything, but some of the OT thoughts are based on their perception of things POTUS said in that interview.
Now I still believe that these things are in motion, and not yet completed or at “fruition.” AG Barr did indicate it would take place before the next election cycle.
I like that thought. Easy to forget that POTUS, who is well aware of the depth and breadth of the spying on him, would know that these enemies of America would have to be monitored. It’s his job to keep America safe from foreign AND domestic enemies.
Trump be like Lucy…

I think so, too. I have faith. Now faithful is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.
I love that thought. ❤
He head faked them again. Like Lucy and Charlie brown
Yup.
Hope there are numerous ZFISAs out there on the traitorous bastards…thinking “two hops”.
As crying Chuckster would say, six ways from Sunday to screw them.
Wish there was a liked very much button
Daughn when I saw Schumer and Pelosi leaving the meeting yesterday celebrating I had the feeling that POTUS was set up.
I was so angry but never underestimate POTUS not to see through the evil these people are.
Many here I noticed from posts had the same feeling when they saw Schumer and Pelosi.
That is why I like people here they are tuned in and not easy fooled.
Potus is running rings around them. Let’s them think he’s walked into a trap and then snatches the victory out of their grasp
Yea.
Since President Trump briefed Congress critters, he can strike when he’s ready to do so, or not at all.
One of these days, Congress critters may admit, President Trump is always a few steps ahead of Congress…
Suspicious here too, SS. I didn’t like it at all.
As much as I’d like Iran bitch slapped, if not their entire MIC destroyed, I’m glad it played out this way.
President Trump as we know is not only dealing with tyrannical Iran, but add in CCN, MCM, deep state and D-Rats.
There are other ways for President Trump to nail Iran “under cover”, so to speak.
The most ignorant thing the Iranians and the rest of the cabal can do is underestimate President Trump.
President Trump will prevail:-) Me thinks!
Why take Iran down when taking the whole cabal who set up the PHONY Iran deal is possible?
TAKE THE WHOLE DAMN AXIS DOWN.
If Brennan, Rhodes, Osatan, Jarrett, Strzok, and the whole crew are not part of the yield, the PROBLEM has not been solved.
Hopefully the cabal of assholes will be taken down and ultimately jailed or worse.
Yep, looking for payback, full of vengeance…all compliments of American Justice.
Disinformation is necessary. So are canary traps. At this point, we have no idea what is really going on.
Enjoy the show.
Yeah, PDJT had just told Hannity that Iran was under control. I can’t imagine he would go from under control to war overnight.
I’m going to wait and see before I form an opinion on what is really happening.
If Obastard and Lurch told Iran to go after us right now for politics, would that be TREASON?
Asking for a friend named “Old Sparky”.
If it is not treason—it should be!
Don’t forget – the President of Japan also just met recently with the Ayatollah.
My question: where is JOHN BOLTON on this matter? I can’t find anything from him on the internet.
Previous opinions were divided on whether Bolton is a neo-con war hawk or not.
The whole situation with the drone being shot down smells like an elaborately-laid TRAP for POTUS on MULTIPLE levels.
Bolton is always for war MIC. President Trump knows this. President Trump will not fall into Bolton trap.
President Trump 100% does not want war. If the military option
is employed, President Trump tailor the strategy.
My non strategic thing says nails launchers, tracking / fire control radars, munitions storage, and Command and Control structure.
Do not be surprised if President Trump already knew that he was not going to strike—earlier, he clearly indicated that he believed that it was not Tehran that ordered the strike.
Somebody has been trolling again! 😎
There you go, JW.
OMG! She is the female obama!
she’s trying to be…same hype…same empty suit
She’s achieved empty skirt.
Ask Willy.
LOL
Interesting how she is appropriating that “whitey” cultural look. I mean they’ve lightened her skin, and she already wears her hair like a white woman. Trying to appeal to whites…
trying to appear less radical and liberal imo
Even using a FAKE POPULIST TAGLINE.
Very smart. I think SHE is the candidate against Trump.
What, did she eat a Willy Wonka blueberry?
Spit!!!
Oh slap. Somehow I read that as Willy’s Wonka (or the reverse)…
Oh no …😆
Well, there’s my new nickname for Kamala:
Smurfette.
I like James Woods’ nickname: Heels up Harris.
I had to go back and check the color! You’re right!
Blue woman bad!
Kamala as a bird cage liner…
Then again, it might put off the bird(s)…
You could use it to collect those samples for bowel cancer screening
Don’t want to clog the bog with her, though…
Hmmm. Bogclogger Harris…
Do you get political advertising containing prepaid return envelopes. Excellent for stuffing with lots of rubbish advertising and sending back. They pay on weight and the envelopes are anonymous. Just in case you want to cut them a cheque. Extend that idea.
Many, many, MANY moons ago when I moved over here to beauful downtown Deutschland, I had a change of address form set up so that any important mail wouldn’t disappear, but my mother would get it and forward it to me.
Unfortunately, she got junk mail as well, which petered out after a year or so.
Except for the $cienos, who never give up. So, Mum tore up a bunch of their junk mail, stuffed as much as she could into the prepaid return envelope, and sent it on its way.
Just to make sure, she sent another couple of *cough* SASE replies of the same girth to them.
The junk mail stopped…
Too bad she didn’t have a brick or some lead fishing weights 🙂 (heck, maybe some material from a neutron star or a pulsar, but she’d have probably had a tough time fitting it into the envelope, and getting the car to start, etc) ….
Hmmm. The $cieno event horizon. Might be worth a try, anyway…
I reckon a stool sample, ripened over a couple of days would create an event horizon. And prob hazmat team
Perfect for the range.
Right now, she is my lead contender for who the Commies are really going with in 2020
– maximizes the yield from the intentional Biden “anti-old-white-guy” debacle
– very close to Obama in terms of Axelrod media strategies, allowing play recycle
– explains “Jussie world” investments
– explains Obama / Rice media strategies
– explains much of Kavanaugh and Barr hearings
– strongest play against their biggest fear – loss of black votes to Trump
– “heels up” cancels out against fake Trump-Stormy narrative
I am almost sure it’s going to be this broad.
Their wide field is a SCAM, which hides the REAL candidate.
Well, the calendar says it’s summer. 🙂
“Summertime” by Edward Hopper, 1943.
Seeing the summer theme of Hopper painting’s reminded of this poem.
A LOVER’S QUARREL
We two were lovers, the Sea and I;
We plighted our troth ‘neath a summer sky.
And all through the riotous, ardent weather
We dreamed, and loved, and rejoiced together.
At times my lover would rage and storm.
I said: ‘No matter, his heart is warm.’
Whatever his humour, I loved his ways,
And so we lived through the golden days.
I know not the manner it came about,
But in the autumn we two fell out.
Yet this I know–’twas the fault of the Sea,
And was not my fault, that he changed to me.
I lingered as long as a woman may
To find what her lover will do or say.
But he met my smiles with a sullen frown,
And so I turned to the wooing Town.
Oh, bold was this suitor, and blithe as bold!
His look was as bright as the Sea’s was cold.
As the Sea was sullen, the Town was gay;
He made me forget for a winter day.
For a winter day and a winter night
He laughed my sorrow away from sight.
And yet, in spite of his mirth and cheer,
I knew full well he was insincere.
And when the young buds burst on the tree,
The old love woke in my heart for the Sea.
Pride was forgotten–I knew, I knew,
That the soul of the Sea, like my own, was true.
I heard him calling, and lo! I came,
To find him waiting, for ever the same.
And when he saw me, with murmurs sweet
He ran to meet me, and fell at my feet.
And so again ‘neath a summer sky
We have plighted our troth, the Sea and I.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Oops! Switch that.
itswoot thank you for sharing this poem I loved reading it.
Well, there is this!! “My life, my lover, is the sea” 🙂
Thank you. You’ve shown me a new poet to read. Rarely found: plainly written rhyming verse with a poet’s flair in words that I don’t have.
Will catch up in a minute, very interested in Wolf’s tweets.
Speaking of tweets, an interesting exchange with our mutual acquaintance regarding corruption in gubbmint and specifically AG Barr:
Crap. Too early in the a.m.
*
Is the * the right thing to do? I know how to screenshot but do I need an uploader to get it within my comment? Hate being a non-tech person but it is what it is. 😀
That is a perfectly fine method for bing information to the blog.
Last tweet in the string:
I have answered this question OT over and over again. YOU CAN NOT CLEAN HOUSE like you would a badly managed Denny’s.
Why? BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT FIRE RANK AND FILE without a whole heck of a lot of wrong doing on their part AND TONS OF PAPERWORK and we are talking LAWYERS!
“The American Federation of Government Employees: Department of Justice employees join Union
I can not find the original link but it was right after President Trump took office
https://dpeaflcio.org/about/affiliates/american-federation-of-government-employees-afge/
The Daily Caller has a very good article: Here’s Why It’s All But Impossible To Fire A Fed
Removal of Federal Employees for Misconduct or Performance
It takes about a year to two years to jump through all the hoops necessary for firing a Fed. The print out of all those hoops is over 30 feet long accorting the the Daily Caller, just to give you an idea.
Yep.
Isn’t there some bill in the works to be able to fire federal employees for incompetence, etc?
Yes it is mentioned in the last link:
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/02/06/removal-of-federal-employees-for-misconduct-or-performance/
However that was in 2017 so I do not know if it passed.
They passed such a bill regarding the VA – I know that. But the OPM must be thoroughly de-loused as well as laws changed in order to be able to fire Federal workers more easily. IMO, no government agency, whether State or Federal, should be unionized – period!
I disagree wholeheartedly. If federal workplaces are ionized, as you seem to want, then computers will be getting zapped by electrostatic discharge, and we waste enough money as it is.
Oh, wait. You meant union-ized.
Yeah, I agree about that!!
😀
ROFL
Think Rush made this same point yesterday….it’s a very long process…deliberately so by unions. Remember how difficult it was to get rid of bad apples working in the VA facilities?
Like this guy from GSA.
I swear, reading anything Some Dude write anymore for me is like:
“Blah, blah, blah, Eeyore, blah, blah, blah, we’re doomed, blah, blah, it’s over, blah, nothing happening, blah, blah.”
Thank God I don’t live in THAT head.
Lol!!!!
Some Dude has good analysis when it comes to economics. But he is not real good at incorporating NEW IDEAS from someone else especially if it requires he change his world view.
That is what I like about Wolfie. He was pro-vaccination but he read what I wrote and was open to the new information.
(I have no problem with Vaccination IFF it is done intelligently by looking at all the information and then making the best decision for THAT individual. It s Vaccination by bueauRAT fiat that I have problems with.)
I feel similarly about vaccination. It is important, but children are being over-vaccinated too soon. I don’t want NO vaccines, too many children died from preventable disease. My aunt was permanently disabled by polio.
The key to really being considered an intelligent’discerning person is when one is open to other ideas or information – then analyse, keep what’s useful and discard the rest.
Trump called this “flexibility”. It’s not the same as “wishy-washy” or “flip-flopping” or even John Kerry’s “nuanced”. Trump does not turn off his brain to the old when he listens to the new. He’s very scientific.
I’ve got no problem with THAT attitude, Gail.
It’s the people who are convinced that ALL vaccination is useless and who believe it’s unnecessary…that I have issues with.
I’m enough of a “believer” in it that I got seven or eight shots before a trip overseas one time.
Before there were vaccines the homeopathic doctors were doing some effective things to help people deal with pathogenic/infectious dangers. Everyday moms could administer to their children. The medical mafia persecuted them ruthlessly.
Recently doctors have been making individual specific “vaccines” that are helping with particularly difficult conditions. Some of those doctors have mysteriously died.
There is more to this story that we are not hearing.
That’s the main reason I stopped caring about the opinion pieces – it changes so much that it doesn’t mean much. We went from Sessions is doing nothing, to trust Sessions investigations take time, to Sessions is being really slow but stick with him this is big, to TABLE FLIP Sessions sucks! Shut up “Trust Sessions” crowd! to Whitaker is going to clean it up to Oh no can we trust Barr to Barr is going to do the job to Barr is amazing to Look we can’t trust Barr!
You know, when you’ve literally held *every single possible permutation of positions*, it’s real easy to go back and point to an old post and say “As we predicted on…”
All this back and forth is simply too much drama for me. Elevate your thinking so that multiple possibilities can play out. One thing Trump likes is OPTIONS, like any good hockey player he wants as many opportunities as possible to SCORE. We’re always worried about a single game and Trump is trying to win the Stanley Cup each of the next four years. (Yay Blues!)
Excellent description of the problem OT. This is a risk of using “leader’s-dogma-following” as a cheap form of (a) narrative dispersal / education and (b) community crowd control. I believe that it back-influenced Sundance to hold “too-clearly-defined” positions, rather than just leaving things sketchy and unknown, or partially known. And worse still, the EEYORES that the enemy fed into the system likewise back-influenced SD to greater pessimism without his awareness, which is pretty amazing psychology, and very pro, IMO.
Example – instead of holding myriad sequential views on Sessions, his position could have evolved in decreasingly sized steps to a complex view that would eventually center the community on truth and accurate prediction, albeit very loosely.
“Sessions is a good guy, but there are problems, which recusal makes even worse, and he may even have a very independent agenda from Trump. Replacing a good AG with a better one with more freedom and more aligned views on the necessity of swamp clean-up makes a LOT of sense.”
The community would not have become fractured with such positioning.
Likewise on Q. SD became brittle, and brittleness was encouraged by SEEDED community influence.
Any resemblance to the reasoning behind my closing the doors is purely FACT.
DIVISION’S IN THE BIN
SHE AIN’T GETTIN’ IN
Fun times. 😉
I do not know if the change with SD was slow—to me it felt like overnight. I wish I could remember when I thought it happened. At the time I was like WTF!
If you ever pin down the date or even the approximate date, please post about it. Could be significant for a variety of reasons. If you want to make sure I see it, you can use the private message to wolf (with underscores) construct.
Now you have my brain smoking! LOL! There were red flags—I am doing my best to remember when. There has been so much water under the bridge since—thanks to a Trump presidency. Ha!
Here we go again—I have never done a private message with the construct you are talking about. I know—I know—computer illiterate. Just I am at home a private guy who rarely sends PMs.
Although there were earlier red flags, to narrow the window, I would have to say that the Scalise shooting in June 2017 and the Las Vegas shooting in October 2017 getting towards started something really rolling. There were many nuances that have escaped my memory.
The battle with talk-radio Levin and Limbaugh late 2015 early 2016 were some early red flags—maybe it truly was not as overnight a transition as I thought. Not saying it happened that early—but that is where the pressure was put on.
I sometimes believe that SD’s talents got him in Deep State water with the TPTB!
OR, HIS TALENTS WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE WHITE HATS AND SD IS NOW PLAYING HIS ROLE! Making it necessary for SD to separate CTH from other sources of Truth. BIG TENT for largest exposure of Truth!!! Different strokes for different folks—if you catch my drift!<<<This is why is still find it difficult to speak negatively about OT—although I have. I simply have not been able to put all the pieces together.
Damn it! I knew I should have kept a record! Sorry Wolf.
Ah! There was a moment (what was the event???) where SD went all Eyore on us. There was a poster even calling SD—SD 2.0—or SD V2—something like that.<<<I was definitely not the only one to recognize it!!!
I am hoping to trigger someone else's memory that may help me find one of thousands of comments that I wrote.
I am zeroing in on the appearance of FBI anon shortly before Q.
I remember the WTF moment! When SD went after Bill Mitchell—although there were definitely earlier red flags! The attack on Mitchell was definitely without much substance—Mitchell rightfully threatened to sue! I am thinking this is all connected with Ginger and Adam (?)—2 or 3 of Mitchell’s guest hosts early on YourVoice America.
Damn this is really starting to look like what you said earlier about an ego problem. There was an attack on Bongino, as well.
180° opposite scenario—SD was trying to warn us about other false narratives being spun to soft-land the entire corrupt scheme. UUUUGH my brain is melting!!!
Exactly. It’s difficult. And that is why I think it pays to juggle multiple theories at all times.
It is so true that we simply do not know what we do not know. This is what helps me keep an open mind.
I think BAM hit the nail on the head with this comment about a post SD made alluding to something big…but he never followed up about it. That I think was the trigger. If we can find that post. https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/06/22/dear-kmag-20190622-open-topic/comment-page-2/#comment-179897
OK – that jogs my memory. I have always thought he was INFLUENCED at that point, and it may have had something to do with Q and other things.
I will be very blunt about that – I do not know if it was a WHITE HAT or BLACK HAT operation. So I’m not going to speculate which it was. But I remember that point, and I believe that he was influenced by somebody in a hush-hush way.
Good or bad? Lies or truth? Who knows?
Very good – I think this clears up a lot of things. I was not the only person to observe this.
Also note that somewhere in comments I talked about the theory of controlled opposition, and that it’s basically impossible to avoid. It’s not DIGITAL either – not binary.
ALL OPPOSITION is “controlled” to some extent – just by being in opposition to something. GET USED TO IT is what I say. The idea that something is either “not controlled” or “controlled” is a fallacy. The idea of “controlled opposition” is extremely useful, but it becomes dangerous when we think it’s pure.
COMPLICATED BUSINESS!!!
Anything to do with this guy Adam Gingrich that used to appear on YourVoice? There was a fallout because of a superpac that Mitchell did not want to be a part of and some coordinated attacks against Mitchell and having guests on talking about Q etc…—I think SD was party to that.
Oh, yes. IMO he was poked, promoted and activated by the Cabal to increase division.
The Cabal loves to increase DIVISION, and especially BAD DIVISION. It’s just their thing. They want CANCER, not GROWTH.
Watch out for their corrupt super pacs!
Absolutely Wolf. Just like propaganda can be bad or GOOD!
However, I still do not think this was the ‘genesis’. In my comment to start this conversation, I point back to the time between April – October 2017—Scalise shooting, LV shooting, FBI Anon, QAnon.
THAT is the time period where something where I think it all happened.
Things were very dicey in that period of time. The cabal was trying hard to take down and control Trump, and CTH was a source of Trump’s input, as well as “smart Trump reading” by Sundance. I think the Cabal may have intervened by a lot of camouflaged influence, including the beginning of DEMORALIZATION TROLL INSERTION AND ACTIVATION.
I’m sure they were trying to influence and undermine SD in that timeframe. They were sure doing it to me.
Wolf! You gave me a full body chill! I believe we have a very similar line of thinking here.
I think people underestimate the (potential) power of websites like CTH—I do not think the CABAL does. That is why I continuously point to the downfall of Little Green Footballs—I believe Charles Johnson was compromised.
You must have seen the article, re: digenova, Toensing, Rosenstein, etc. The post raises doubts about Barr.
I just don’t get the hopelessness that comes through there. It stinks like controlled oppo stuff. First there’s the buildup and positive vibes and then gradually it gets around to Eeyore. 😒
BINGO! Controlled oppo—I cannot prove it—but somewhere along the line something changed. Comprimised? If you go back very early in the Trump presidency, SD sounded much like Q and had many of the same theories about Mueller being a White Hat<<<just one of several examples.
I even posted comments of my suspicions AT THE TIME without mentioning who I was suspicious about!
My comments went something like:
If Fox News is controlled oppo, what is to say that their are not SEVERAL LAYERS of controlled oppo—somewhat like a safety relief valve system or over-flow to catch the ones who have "caught on". Example, would be that talk-radio is their to catch the Fox News crowd—when talk radio is outed, then websites (hinted at without saying like OT) catch that over-flow…etc………
Remember—$$$Trillions at stake$$$. By telling you the truth with seemingly inside information is exactly how they gain trust making the reader feel like they have a voice and an ally to fight back. BUT, it is just another way to lure you in and SLOWLY guide you to where they want you to be.
$$$TRILLIONS$$$ How far will people go to manipulate and stay in power???
Now, also remember that some may believe that using such tactics for the better of the country is justifiable. Example: If all of the corruption were to truly come to light and mass arrests were to occur—what would that mean to national security? Could a coalition of Russia, China, Iran, ………feel it was time to attack a country in a full-blown constitutional crisis?
That is just off the top of my head brain-storming that I did at the time. I mostly got called a conspiracy theorist for such posts.
Conspiracy Theorist! 🤣🤣 Hiya James!!!
Hey! I resemble that remark!🤩
No name calling on this site–Unless of the SuperHero type!!!
I remember that! Good post!
Well, I saw the unfamiliar names posting about what a traitor Sessions is…some more familiar names made an attempt to cut off the never-ending rants and actually post their displeasure that SD not only allowed it to happen but hasn’t done anything to stop it. After those few posts, I decided nothing has changed and left the site.
Noonan sounds like the Church Lady on Quaaludes:

If I had a relative that wrote about me the way that bitch writes about her relatives, I’d never speak to her again.
I have a very bad word for women like her, that I won’t write here. But it rhymes with a word used in football, what you do when you just can’t advance the ball. Sort of like Peggy, herself, can’t advance her ignorant opinions of our President past the bubble she lives in.
Not sure she’ll read this, but worth the effort. H/T to you, Aubergine.

Antigua: sprawling ‘Chinese colony’ plan across marine reserve ignites opposition
Opponents warn construction of the Yida project, which includes a manufacturing hub, puts island at risk of hurricane damage
Plans to construct a sprawling “Chinese colony” complete with factories, homes and holiday resorts across a pristine marine reserve in Antigua have ignited a storm of controversy on the Caribbean island.
Known locally as the Yida project after its main investor, Yida Zhang, the scheme includes plans for a manufacturing hub which promises several hundred jobs and increased exports.
But opponents, including local activists and environmentalists, warn that construction is already decimating valuable coastal vegetation, threatening the habitat of critically endangered animals and putting the island at greater risk of hurricane damage.
Chinese-funded development and infrastructure projects – often delivered via low-interest loans – are not new in the Caribbean.
What sets the Yida project apart – in addition to its sheer size, which spans more than 2,000 acres – is that Chinese investors have been given a license to establish their own special economic zone for the new community’s residents and businesses who will benefit from tax waivers.
Under an agreement signed in 2015, developers are entitled to set up a seafood harvesting company within the zone and net 90% of the profits. The zone is also free of all taxes levied elsewhere in the country, including income tax, sales tax and import and export duties. Anyone investing more than $400,000 will be eligible for Antiguan citizenship.
Hummm … that South China Sea “Island Resort” comes to mind … just sayin’ … 😉
Exactly.
That’s great, but only one county has that many inactives? It boggles the mind to think how bad the voter roles must be nationwide.
I’m virtually certain my grandparents are still voting and they’ve been residents of the cemetery for nineteen and fourteen years. And then there are all the rest of the relatives.
I wish there was a national clearinghouse where we could go to have our deceased relatives removed from the voting rolls. Or some other mechanism whereby the coroner and/or funeral homes have to fill out a line on a form that would direct names to be removed from voter rolls.
It’s rightfully left up to the states. However, that set of grandparents are in Illinois. In that case, all bets are off.
Honestly, it should not be that hard to clean up the voter rolls on an ongoing basis, but the people in power might lose it if that happens.
It could be as simple as a private organization compiling obituaries couldn’t it? I’m trying to think out of the box.
Possibly, but I think it needs to be coordinated across state agencies that just don’t talk to each other on a regular basis.
That’s one reason having control of the state houses is needed.
It’s the 800 lb gorilla of California counties, though, with a population, by itself, of about ten million, which is almost exactly 1/4 of all of the People’s Republic of Kalifornia (PRK).
You can extrapolate (risky, but you can) and figure the whole state’s probably got 6 million inactives.
Let’s see, Hitlary won the state by how many votes?
Did you know:

Great Subject for Friday Thread!
Josh Hawley surprised me. I’m impressed with his strong position – and especially with this:
“If the tech giants want to censor political speech & advance a political viewpoint, fine. But then they should be treated like any other publisher.”
AMEN, Senator Hawley.
The Social Media moguls have been engaging in unAmerican free speech squashing, monopolies, spying and other illegal (or should be illegal) activities.
Time to strip them down to size and prosecute any and all criminal activities.
Me thinks Hawley ‘s quote above is a statement of the obvious.
That said, it may be challenging for D-Rats to vocalize.
Hope Hicks doing our POTUS proud:
I’ve come to the conclusion that a woman with beauty AND brains, anywhere near the power centers of the NE, most likely has been scooped up by the Trump Organization. At least for some portion of her life.
Can’t wait.

I’m at the point where I believe anything nothing. I don’t know if it’s true that Pres. Trump was planning a strike and then called it off. It might have happened, but it could be fake news put out by either side for their purposes.
He tweeted it out.
Now I’ve seen Pres. Trump’s tweet saying exactly that. I believe him, but I still think things can be spun for the right effect. His audience is much wider than his Twitter feed.
Here they go, trying to destroy another conservative news source. Good for The Epoch Times, fighting back.

Thanks Wheatie!~! I was just coming over to post this!! After watching Nancy and Chuck laughing and dancing last nite…I firmly believe POTUS boomeranged them!! AND he exposed a LEAKER!!!
Canary trap was my first thought.
DP–And Nancy WAS wearing “Canary Yellow”!…Things that make ya go hmmmm
Pelosi wearing canary yellow…you think she was trying to compete with Melania? LOL epic Fail!
Exactly Right Teagan!! I want to say ..Even Nancy isn’t that dumb…But nevermind…She is!!
Didn’t both Øbominable and Ketchup recently travel to Iran?
YUP Ga and DiFiChi met with an Iranian official, if I’m not mistaken…
Kerry yes as I recall.
Also, ChiFi dined with some Iranian schuck a couple weeks ago.
Ozero was in France, I think, which is an primary covert communications hub in and out of Iran.
Yep – he thinks he’s so smart and sly that we don’t know what he’s up to…. I hope they slap him with indictments up the wazoooooo!!!!!
Interesting question. Kerry has been talking to Iran. Feinstein has been also. That could explain a lot.
That was my first thought that someone was bought off in Iran to shoot down the drone by empty suits who shadow all over the world to undermine POTUS.
YUP!! I knew VSG wouldn’t do what they thought he would..Art of War!
I’ll believe this. Someone close to me worked 14 hour days for years in a pressure cooker of a company and had TIAs that really cost everyone. The money was great, I hear, but the consequences, not so much
https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2019/06/20/Longer-work-hours-may-raise-stroke-risk/2041561033984/
Longer work hours may raise stroke risk
With hard work comes more money, and also more health risks, according to researchers.
The risk of stroke increased by nearly 30 percent for people who worked longer than 10 hours per day for at least 50 days a year, according to research published Thursday in the journal Stroke. And risk jumped by 45 percent for people who worked long hours longer than 10 years.
“The association between 10 years of long work hours and stroke seemed stronger for people under the age of 50,” Alexis Descatha, a researcher at Paris Hospital, Versailles and Angers University and study author, said in a news release. “This was unexpected. Further research is needed to explore this finding.”
The researchers looked over data for more than 143,000 French citizens, between ages 18 and 69. They gathered information on the participants’ cardiovascular risks, stroke history, smoking habits and the number of hours worked.
In all, 1,224 study participants suffered strokes. The study didn’t include part-time workers or people who had previously suffered strokes prior to working long hours.
The study’s findings line up with a 2015 study published in The Lancet that showed a link between cardiovascular risk and working long hours. That study suggested stress triggers from working long hours, as well as relevant health risks, alcohol consumption, and physical activity, all may contribute to a higher stroke risk.
“I would also emphasize that many healthcare providers work much more than the definition of long working hours and may also be at higher risk of stroke,” Descatha said. “As a clinician, I will advise my patients to work more efficiently and plan to follow my own advice.”
Deplorable Patriot My husband who grew up in Queens NY has the same working habits as POTUS.
He worked long hours as long as I am married to him. He is retired still works as adjunct in the University part time and is active in professional organizations.
In a month he will be 77 never had a stroke. He drinks a Beer on and off with his meal or a glass of wine. He is a “A personality” and thrives on work. He looks younger is slim likes to walk loves gardening always has. I guess there are exceptions to everything.
His father was the same.
Seen other studies that put stress as a greater risk factor and not stress from high powered jobs.
Stress from low paying low status jobs here,as wage slaveswithobligations, they were unable to tell snarky supervisors the facts of life. Stress where low income meant doing without and inability to provide loved ones with gifts etc. stress where low income resulted in poor food choices- cheap carbs, cheap fatty cuts of meat, etc. low income is a big indicator in stroke heart attack stats.
Like the old song goes, “Work your fingers to the bone, whadya get? Boney fingers, Boney fingers”.
Hoyt Axton sang it best, IMO

On the flip side, though, all that work seems to be making our President look younger. I think all of this has something to do with whether you love what you are doing or just showing up to get a paycheck.
Then I should be dead by now.
Yes, but, you — like PDJT for most of his life — are in control of your work. You’re self-employed, doing what you love. You call the shots.
I’ve scratched The Dominican Republic off my bucket list. It almost seems as if someone is trying to destroy the tourist industry on that island. If so, they’re doing a good job of it. I can only imagine how many vacation reservations are being cancelled every day that they report another mysterious tourist death.
And are any of the locals being afflicted? I haven’t heard of any so far. Hmmm….
https://katu.com/news/nation-world/woman-dies-after-honeymoon-in-dominican-republic-bringing-death-toll-to-10
There was a Crazy Days and Nights blind about this. It sounds like there was some rival sabotage with local alcoholic beverages. Avoid booze made in the area, and you’re probably fine.
How about traveling to Poland instead?

Demonrat Jerry Nadler referred to Ms. Hope Hicks yesterday as “Ms. Lewandowski” a total of 3 times before being corrected by her. It was NOT a Freudian slip as some maintain. He did that on purpose to embarrass her. What a jerk!
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/jerry-nadler-repeatedly-referred-to-hope-hicks-as-ms-lewandowski
Infuriating. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
THIS is how you know Lindsey Graham is NOT who he wants you to think he is…
GOP Senators Grant Policy Wins to Democrats in $4.6 Billion Migration Budget
GOP leaders in the Senate approved a $4.6 billion budget to fund an orderly Central American migration into the United States — even though the bill excludes any steps to reduce the crisis and also gives multiple pro-migration wins to Democrats.
The Democrats’ migration wins include a renewed legal shield for the illegal-immigrant parents in the United States who pay cartel-affiliated coyotes to smuggle their children into the United States, $1 billion to ease migrants’ orderly transit through the border, plus a denial of President Donald Trump’s request for extra detention beds and additional ICE enforcement agents.
The GOP appropriations chairman, Sen. Richard Shelby, downplayed the Democrats’ come-from-behind budget wins and urged Republicans not to use the budget fight for policy gains. (WTF?!)
All 16 GOP Senators — including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — voted for the package.
The Democrats’ gains include gag orders to prevent immigration officials from sharing information about the illegal immigrant parents who are importing their foreign children via the government-managed “Unaccompanied Alien Children” pipeline. It provides $30 million to the non-profits that help migrants move to their target locations, $10 million for immigration lawyers to help migrants win asylum, and $9 million to help illegal migrants get their “UAC” children delivered faster.

POTUS will never sign that mess.
Hope you are correct
Uniparty sucks.
McConnell needs to go .
We need those other 130 confirmations. Then he can fuck off and die
Yup.
Any dumbass can herd Judicial nominees through as Rs are majority.
Turtle has no magic wand.
I think he is useful. Otherwise Potus would’ve speared him
You’re probably right.
VETO THIS MESS – MR. PRESIDENT!!!
AMEN! And while he’s vetoing it, he can NAME the Republicans who voted for it – ONE by ONE – with shaking head, upturned palm, shrugs, quizzical looks, and much muttering.
So, they throw in 1.something Bn for the wall, and the rest for DIMMs wet dream and expect POTUS to sign?
Our guy Mick can find the money for the Wall elsewhere… POTUS doesn’t need this crappy little whatever…
Mitch did this same “play” recently… it’s leverage for confirming judges. Mitch is a real POS.
Roy Blunt is Missouri, and dynamiting that family out of politics isn’t going to happen any time soon.
I tell ya, once these damn crooks get in they stick like barnacles. Small town, big town. Doesn’t matter.
In one of the last state wide elections, there was a Blunt, Ashcroft, and Carnahan running for something. No Danforths that time.
The Ashcrofts are at least honest, but still some year it would be nice not to have any of them on the ballot.
No wonder these people act elitest. It’s like a snobby country club.
Funny you should say that. Don’t know about the others, but the Danforths, I’m pretty sure, belong to one of the big three CCs here. Unless I miss my guess, it’s the one that is the cheapest to belong to, but requires four sponsors. The Anheuser-Busch people couldn’t get into it, so they started their own. And there’s a third where they’ve been known to walk a bull down to one of the sports bars on Saturday night.
Don’t ask how I know these things. 😉
Politics is occupational therapy for those without jobs
Miss Lindsey is up for re election. He will try to buddy up with President Trump to get re elected. Remember he was all for amnesty before. S.C….kick him to the curb. He also chummed it up with the Nazis in Ukraine with the traitor McCain, ISIS’s enabler from the Benghazi Brief.
Dick Shelby used to be a Democrat, he changed parties back in the day to keep his seat. Think about that…he is not very conservative on many issues, more of a RINO and one Alabama needs to think about replacing.
The rest are all establishment RINOs, including my soon to retire Sen. Alexander.
These people do not represent us. They represent Tom Donahue and the Koch brothers.

Good. That’s another evil cult
RIP Lisa McPherson. Sea Org. RRPF. Look it up…
Also “A Piece Of Blue Sky”, by Jon Atack…
L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons (the JP of JPL, before Jet Propulsion) did a Satanic ceremony so hideous, so evil, that Aleister Crowley told them NOT TO DO IT. Most of the Google hits have been sanitized, but others are more complete, as are ones of Scieno-skeptic sites…
They, like most cults, gather dirt on their recruits (whom they refer to as “fresh meat” or “wogs”, but face-to-face call them “pre-clears”), amassing huge files which can be later used to force the victims to stay in the cult. Same tactics the DEMONcRATs and other evil organizations use…
Confession to gain collateral. Always a SCAM, but a great one.
I saw that yesterday. Exposing that group would be a definite boon. They are downright cruel to members.
Just tell that woman to Go To Hell so she can meet her idol for eternity.
Someone needs to give her a helping hand
so I went on my weekly banana run to walmart and it’s a dreary morning so the rascal in me decides the day is ripe for mischief. every time someone asked me (and there were 3 of them) if I was finding everything ok? I asked , Why? are you hiding the good stuff?
I made all three of them laugh.
job done.
When store clerks ask me if I would like to contribute a dollar to the Save The Children Fund or anything like that, I always reply loudly, “No, I hate children!”. They never know whether to laugh or scowl at me. Once a guy in line behind me said the same thing after I had said it. We gave each other high fives outside. 🙂
LOL…
😀
My husband when asked if he needs any help replies yes please ,take this to the cashier and pay for it for me. That’d be great, thanks
Me, pretending I need a hearing aid….
“SAVE THE CLINTONS? WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT? LOCK HER UP!”
hehe
I think I found my next mischief day mission…
Brilliant. I hope you know I am appropriating this response and taking full credit for it at the next available opportunity. 😜
Gonna use that one!
Priceless!
Stealing this one LOL
I’ll bet you have one of those bumper stickers that says:

This is my latest bumper sticker on my truck canopy window

https://www.theepochtimes.com/tired-of-waiting-for-a-federal-fix-border-sheriff-tackles-cartel-crime-with-bold-action_2960628.html
… “The major new effort started in January 2017 and the formula Dannels adopted is simple: Place hundreds of cameras to detect traffickers and smugglers, catch them, and prosecute them.
“We put our cameras in areas where Border Patrol wasn’t going,” he said. “We went to the river areas, we went into the mountain areas, we went to the desert areas. And this is based on intel from our ranchers and our community folks saying, ‘We have a problem on our property.’ We’ve gone to private lands and we put those cameras strategically in areas where it helps identify the smugglers.”
The sheriff’s border team, called SABRE (Southeastern Arizona Border Region Enforcement), run by Sgt. Tim Williams, has placed 400 trail cameras in the county so far—with an estimated 700 to be up and running by year’s end.
The money for the cameras was raised from private donations—Dannels refuses to accept government money, with strings attached, to expand the program.
The SABRE team piloted a test on rancher John Ladd’s land that shares 10.5 miles of border with Mexico border—from the Naco international port of entry to the San Pedro River (which runs from Mexico into the United States).
The border line has a legacy bollard fence from 2006 that contains several sets of floodgates embedded into the bottom of it that are left open from July 1 to October 1 every year. When open, the gates leave four gaps, each about 7 feet high and 6 feet wide. The fence stops altogether at the river.
“The biggest thing that we dealt with was backpacking drugs—the 50- to 70-pound bundles on the back,” Dannels said. He said countywide, Ladd’s ranch was probably the most impacted by smuggling, but the pilot program brought it to a halt.
“There were 37 experienced smugglers [on his property] that are now sitting in prison,” Dannels said.
Cmdr. Kenny Bradshaw of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office, stands next to the floodgates within the U.S.-Mexico border fence west of Naco, Arizona, on May 8, 2019. (Charlotte Cuthbertson/The Epoch Times)
Seeing immediate success, the program continued to expand and became fully operational in August 2017.
Interdictions of illegal aliens and drugs increased as cameras caught more activity. The SABRE team has two National Guard members watching the cameras 24/7 and another two analyzing the footage and photos that are captured.
Some trends started emerging, according to Williams. The cartel significantly increased their scouting operations, drug smuggling routes were changed, drug mules were now being recruited from outside the local area, and drug smuggling routes turned into human smuggling routes.
Why are the floodgates left open, when they are virtually porous… water can move through them when closed.
Is it to allow illegals attempting to enter during flooding, rather than drown ?
Nope.
Laws of physics answers this question.
Water weighs 8.34 lbs/gallon. If they don’t open the gates when it floods, the water pressure (all that weight moving at speed) would take down the entire fence.
And that’s not even counting the debris picked up by the water
Flood gates? Are they kidding? And just leave them open.
The truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
Jerry Nadler Is A Sexist Pig Who Should Be Censured By Congress
During a congressional interview, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) referred to Hope Hicks as ‘Ms. Lewandowski’ three separate times before she corrected him.
https://thefederalist.com/2019/06/21/jerry-nadler-sexist-pig-censured-congress/#.XQzTRMnc6Uw.twitter
If they’re going to censure Nadler for being a sexist pig, may as well add a few more names.
To those who say the issue with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is not our problem…..THIS is why it IS our problem!!! Many on those planes are US citizens.
“In a separate advisory to operators, FAA said according to flight tracking applications, the nearest civil aircraft was operating within around 45 nautical miles of the U.S. drone when it was taken down.
“There were numerous civil aviation aircraft operating in the area at the time of the intercept,” FAA said.
Earlier Thursday, United Airlines said it had suspended flights from New Jersey’s Newark airport to the Indian financial capital of Mumbai following a safety review.
“Given current events in Iran, we have conducted a thorough safety and security review of our India service through Iranian airspace and decided to suspend our service,” United said on its website, but did not say how long the suspension would last.”
https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/06/21/u-s-registered-commercial-airlines-barred-from-mideast-airspace/
I’m really surprised that any of our airlines would be flying through Iranian air space in the first place.
IDK why not….?
Did you see that it is possible that a rogue Iranian general ordered the shoot down of the drone without the gov’t’s approval?
Have you considered the TIMING of Iran’s recent provocations and asked why now vs. before now or later?
Have you asked who would stand to benefit right now from the US getting involved in a shooting war with Iran….politically, economically, etc?
Don’t you think that simply suspending commercial flights through that area is a simple and elegant solution vs. risking a shooting war with Iran?
Don’t you think that it would be better for a coalition of nations to help resolve this vs. the USA going it alone….esp. if it involves military action?
Why is the US responsible to be the world’s policeman?
Doesn’t it strike you as odd that the democrats WANT Trump to pull the trigger? Why is that?
Just a few questions off the top of my head. LOTS more where they came from.
I am not advocating for going it alone – never said I was.
Yes. And I never said you did. Just asking questions, and that’s all I was doing.
If I was trying to make a point….and I really wasn’t….it’s that POTUS has proven his excellent judgment to me many times over and I have full confidence in his decisions. Moreover, I would rather he err on the side of caution than give the filthy democommies infesting our country any opening whatsoever.
AMEN!
I think POTUS handled this brilliantly. Not only the correct decision to sidestep a cabal trap, but I think he identified all the enemy players and all of their controlled opposition in doing so.
And he fucked them up when they thought they’d had a win. Stupid celebrating outside meeting with Potus thinking there was gonna be an escalation that would draw attention from their crimes. Did you see how Potus waited till then to pull the rug out from under them, make their humiliation public? Like a plane trip that was cancelled at the last moment. See my avatar. It’s a video. That’s Potus with these dem clowns
LOL!!!
Whether you like it or not, the US is THE world leader and it is up to US to lead!
Whether you like it or not, the US is not responsible to police the world and we are under no obligation to shed the blood of our youth and the wealth of our nation for other nations’ benefit.
I don’t think we should take any military action against Iran that might precipitate a World War unless Congress votes to approve that action. President Trump and his administration should not become the fall guys for Demonrat political campaign propaganda.
I think Potus has taken the Patonism of letting the enemy die for his country to heart. Not just military but economic
Leading doesn’t mean pulling the trigger on any more manufactured geopolitical crises or dancing to the globalists’ tune.
I would MUCH rather President Trump continue to exposes WHO (and I mean every cabalist WHO) is behind each disruptive action. There are too many timing coincidences to think Iran did this without support from our very own traitors.
I don’t see how any American could live through Korean War, Viet Nam War, Iraq & Afghani conflicts, NKorean pseudo arch-enemy, etc. and NOT want our President to LEAD by some means other than automatic physical retaliation.
President Trump has shown it is entirely possible to LEAD the world by exposure of devious enemies. I fully support us LEADING by finding out what really happened with this drone before pulling any trigger.
Too funny how everyone is reacting like I am saying we need to bomb Iran! SMDH
Not everyone! Not even anyone! You simply provided a convenient place to anchor all the counterpoints to an argument you didn’t make! 😀
Welcome to the internet! 😉
It because of that famous Beach Boys (beached buoys? Bleached bit?) song:
Bomb Bomb Bomb,
BOMB BOMB Iran,
Bomb Bomb Bomb,
BOMB BOMB Iran,
Oh Bomb Iran-a-annnn
Just ’cause I ca-a-annnn…..
Yup! And Trump IS LEADING!!! Very smartly. 😉
Great questions!
Especially with obumma Kerry etc getting desperate. If the Iranian regime falls over the new govt is likely to spill secrets
very astute and interesting comment (OT) asking if we should be considering what the 150 means in the POTUS’s comment about the Iran retaliation attack…sounds like a specific number for that comment, no?
h/t Louisiana Tea Rose
Yes. How would they know an exact number? Wonder if it references something else.
everything he says has meaning somehow
Wonder if the 150 were Russian, Chinese, or NoKo forces?
Or if the 150 is the number of techs in the Iranian lab (centrifuge bunker, whatever), then the Mullahs know that we know their *cough* staffing…
“Be a shame if you lost all that nice shiny equipment, eh Ayamazola?”…
May just indicate to Iran how much they know about targets and the manning of specific sites. Ie. fuck. He talking about here
Probably just an approximate number. I wouldn’t read much into that specific.
But it might be a specific military facility or something with known numbers of individuals. It could also show the Iranians and their allies that we know a whole lot more than they might suspect.

Along with all the other perversions the left is trying to “normalize” or “mainstream”, cannibalism is being mentioned, and minimalized (in terms of the evil it is) more and more often. In the news over here the last few weeks, there has been almost an article per day saying how only up until recently cannibalism was “normal” and/or “accepted”. The tone of said articles being that it should still be “normal”…
I think we should all be cognizant of the fact that these people (Soros, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Billionaires Club, Klintoons, et. al.) want to cut the Earth’s Population down to 500 Million or so!
Put another way, they want TO KILL SEVEN BILLION of us. SEVEN BILLION LIVING HUMAN BEINGS!
(of course, they’ll save the animals)…
Is it any wonder they do what they do? When they are doing Satan’s work and destroying GOD’S Creation, they will stop at nothing.
So WE must STOP them.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says what’s really happening, and what we should do, for there are indeed dark forces at work:
They want to reduce human beings to mere biological organisms, making them disposable at will, useful for fertilizer (I saw something about ashes being used in a public garden), and good for a meal. The ideas of an immortal soul and sanctity of life and a Creator to whom we have to answer are antithetical to setting themselves up as gods, in control and with power over others.
I’m confused.
The email says Obama paid for it using taxpayers $$, but the detention memo says Bronfman paid for it.
What am I missing?
Also, is Stratford itself involved in all this??? Because considering who/what Stratfor is, THAT would be truly shocking.
Good catch
Huh! First I heard about the possibly radicalized policeman vis-a-vis the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack….
“Police also said that they had difficulty dealing with radicalised officers after they were discovered, citing a lack of legislation to help them dismiss those found to be radicalised.
Last year, it was revealed that a police officer in charge of the security for the staff of the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine may have become radicalised after viewing radical Islamist material.
In January 2015, the offices of Charlie Hebdo were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists who killed 12 people, the majority of the victims being staff at the magazine.”
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/06/21/new-survey-reveals-islamist-infiltration-french-public-services/
We have them here in Germany, too, mostly in the north, e.g. Berlin, Hamburg, Duisburg, Düsseldorf.
And, quel surprise, some of these süd-süd-süd-südländische officers have been caught telling their countrymen (in the hookah/shisha/whatever bars) that a raid was going to happen. Same thing with the Salafists (radical Moslems).
Rather difficult to cleanse and purge the police of riff-raff if a large percentage (10%?) are riff-raff themselves…
Oh, Merde-Kuh, what disaster you have wrought… yet you don’t worry, as you have no progeny to protect or defend…
Sometimes I wonder (after her “incidents”) if maybe she IS 10 years older than she says: then she’d be the right age to be Hitler’s daughter… she’s certainly his “spiritual” daughter… all the way down to the animal and nature religions… (shw has single-handedly removed the “C” from the CDU)..
Have you considered reincarnation?
Brings Hollywood’s new FBI drama into SHARP FOCUS as MK psy-op.
hate to be dense but when y’all reference “MK” you mean MK Ultra stuff?
Me too. Specific meaning, not just the M K words, in this context?
Actually, by MK by itself, I mean something much more broad. MK = mind control in its broadest psychological terms, like when we call the MSM the MCM (mind control media).
Refusing to talk about something in the press is, for example, a very simple form of mind control. (“We never call anybody a communist.”) Not reporting obvious characteristics that indicate race or religion is a form of mind control. Having a lead Muslim character who looks like a real hunk of man to “white suburban females” in an FBI show that basically justifies the Mueller-Comey FBI is a form of mind control.
There is a smooth transition from MK that is done publicly with NLP, etc. (Obama speeches), to more special stuff that can be accomplished on individuals with technology like drugs/hypnosis (meaning MK ULTRA-like stuff).
It’s also important to remember that the MK ULTRA disclosure was mostly disinformation to “fake the closure” of the project. Doesn’t really work. Right? WRONG. Modern techniques are way more advanced, and were in active use immediately thereafter.
HOWEVER, most of MK is accomplished openly. It’s not either/or. AND LOGIC for the win.
I have specific personal knowledge of MK ULTRA-like techniques in use in 1981, as well as more recently, but my recent knowledge is very sparse and accidental / incidental. I can really only address how GOOD the modern white hat technology is – not how it works. Even my old knowledge was basically a mistake in the protocol that I kept hidden to protect myself.
Look at Deep State FBI agent Monica McLean working with Two-Door Ford of the DID little-girl-voice Kavanaugh hit to try to pass polygraph tests to see where things REALLY are.
See how valuable this stuff is?
There is a lot of stuff I don’t reveal, but I can say that much of it seems to be in agreement with popular ideas about how MK works.
this is a message to Dora (or whomever can still post OT) from PHC

No problem!
Admittedly, I have not yet looked at the Hawley proposal myself. However, Bongino did warn about it on his podcast yesterday.
Bongino said it looked very similar to the Fairness Doctrine that nearly killed talk radio decades ago—insisting that opposing views be given EQUAL TIME. So stations that played 3 hours of Rush would also be required to play 3 hours of some Lefty with a small fraction of Rush’s audience—causing the stations to lose lots of advertising revenue. So, the stations simply got out of politics all together.
Like I said, I have not had a chance to research yet. My point is simply—be careful what you ask for.
Great point! I’ve had similar concerns myself.
If you look at *MY* 230 proposal, it introduces a new concept of PASS-THROUGH and the obligation of those who “pass through” content to provide an UNFILTERED CHANNEL from anybody who produces content to anybody who wants it.
Thus, these companies are not controlled by my 230 modification, and may provide censored content to those who want it, BUT they are obligated to provide UNFILTERED content FROM anybody who produces it, TO anybody who wants it. They cannot INFRINGE by TRICKS either. We know unfiltered costs less, so to try to infringe it by fake economic reasons would be CRIMINAL.
In other words, no content PURVEYOR can censor EXCEPT to their own end users who specifically ask for the censorship AS INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS. Silicon Valley and everybody else cannot INFRINGE against free speech for those who want to speak it or hear it. And if ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS want free speech, then TOUGH – no censorship. And EVERY INDIVIDUAL has the right to state THEIR preference.
Thus, they can CENSOR TO THEIR END-USERS WHO WANT CENSORSHIP, but they cannot censor to their end-users who DON’T WANT IT, and they have to make that choice easy, simple, and open.
I think MY SOLUTION is superior, frankly, but I’m not a Senator.
If *I* was Google, I would (1) be glad they didn’t scare me off, and (2) offer Senator Hawley MY solution as a compromise.
Quite bluntly, Silicon Valley has to make InfoWars visible to me, and they have to make ME visible to InfoWars. And if they infringe, they can be SUED.
I would add a retroactive, automatic, and unwaiverable gov’t fine of $25,000 per day of violation if the suit is successful, regardless of any damages awarded to the plaintiff.
That’s the nerve that really hurts. The hip pocket one

I liked some of the solutions that the guy from Parler stated in an interview with Epoch Times(?). They seemed like common sense solutions. Wish I could remember what they were. LOL!
Basically, anything goes accept for obscenity and pretending to be somebody else in an effort to defame that person or group.
Parler itself allows people to use others names and photos
True. Just as clarification from the interview: Parler will not permit people to pretend to be someone like James Woods if the intent is to defame James Woods. I guess parody accounts are allowed but must be clearly labeled as parody.
Someone set themselves up as Thomas Wictor with his photo and parler refused to rectify. No mention it was a parody. They may have changed policy. They are just starting. Like me driving past the gym. Baby steps
Oh yeah, they are very wet behind the ears and must still build their infrastructure to accommodate a large influx. I do not think that their servers can handle President Trump coming over at this moment.
Be alert, everyone!
https://nypost.com/2019/06/21/two-more-americans-reported-dead-after-dominican-republic-vacations/
So, with these deaths going on for a bit of time now, has anyone here encountered the results of autopsies on the deceased?
Saw a story a few days ago, it included an interview of one of the deceased’s sons. He said the DR officials said something crazy sounding (to me), I think maybe that they didn’t have any coroners available or something along that line. AND the son said he cannot afford to get a private one done, so he’s just going to get her ashes returned.
I told hubby at the time – that excuse from the DR officials smelled like bull manure to me.
Sure does. “Bull manure”, I have another term but that works
I saw one posted: ‘Shark Tank’ star Barbara Corcoran ‘overwhelmed with sadness’ after brother dies in Dominican Republic
https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/news/2019/06/13/shark-tank-barbara-corcoran-brother-died-in-dominican-republic/1442401001/
Wow. I tell you, it’s scared me off the place.
Makes me wonder if it’s Cubans or Venezuelans trying to spread destabilization through proxies working at resorts.
Commies and Islamists jump to the top of the list of people who would try to kill a nation’s tourist economy, IMO. But no matter what, somebody is trying to do it.
There could also be a globalist play there, to weaken DR as a way of forcing an influx from Haiti, as some kind of refugee play to create a new Marxist state.
Yeah I’m not sure what is going on. I mean I never wanted to visit.
I know there was something in Fiji but not to this level.
My take question everything!!!
Somehow I smell the Klintoons in this. Maybe they have some bodies to bury, and this clouds the issues? Or maybe the DR refused them, while Haiti said “yes”???
Those island nations there seem to all be under the Klintoons sway (the 10-Island thing, etc.)…
Interesting possibility. EXTORTION.
Maybe the government cracked down on PEDO too hard.
If the Clintons have money/control the autopsy results will all be natural causes. Thought- perhaps only one specific target but multiple deaths to disguise the hit and obscur the perpetrator
Just checked kitco and thought some of y’all might enjoy this page, too – it’s handy to get a quick view of where things are (metals, yes, but also world markets, exchange rates, etc.)

“Proportionate Response Doctrine” by Ristvan:
ristvan says:
June 21, 2019 at 2:12 pm
“Smart move, firmly establishing the ‘proportionate response’ PDJT doctrine.
Attacking the Syrian airfield from which a chemical warfare attack was launched killing civilians—while hosting Xi —was proportionate, and also taught Xi something about the consequences of future South China sea confrontations. Not launching now against Iran over a drone downing usefully extends the idea. But now Iran also has to know that any further attacks on international shipping or threats to US forces (e.g IRGC fast boat swarms) will also be met by a proportionate response. Putting their bad behavior and bluster neatly into a PDJT designed box.
And domestically, confounded the Dems while exposing the neocons like Graham and Kristol.
A multifaceted Sun Tzu Art of War gambit.”
POTUS is Extraordinaire VSG.
Does it piss anyone else off that as soon as Trump cancels retaliatory action against the drone downing, these kl0wns have a fire at a Penn refinery to spike oil prices, just to put pressure on oil markets against Iran sanctions?
Where does God come from?
The best answer I have ever heard!
https://twitter.com/GregNorberg/status/1142133438314496000
I read some years ago of that same thought posed similarly from a direct consequence POV . . . just more plainly stated. Something like –
You say God doesn’t exist . . . I say He does.
If you’re right, when I die, I’ll just cease to exist.
If I’m right, when you die, you may be in Hell for a long time.
What’s your choice?
Weeeellll…let me think about it. Should be an easy choice. Right?
If people choose not to believe, it allows them to justify their dirty deeds because they believe, or WANT to believe, their are no consequences.
You are speaking of Pascal’s Wager.

Super Interesting read today!!
I found the 2nd comment to be the most interesting. I have not seen the footage of Ginger and Fred dancing yet. Funny that YT does not have it on my recommended feed. I wonder why?
I am always a little skeptical when people insist injecting Israel into the mix as a Dark Force—not to say that their is not an Israeli DS—but it always seems to be a blanket statement.
I didn’t get the Israeli link myself…But found it interesting that someone recorded and posted that dance…
Oooops…I guess I will have to open the link completely to see the dance. I just read the comments.
I was about to say the same thing. I am not seeing any MSM push the Chuck and Nancy dance….
They know our glorious patriotic Democrats just stepped in 12 feet deep of QUICKSHIT.
Only 12 feet? 😉
Hey, I’m unapologetically CONSERVATIVE! 😉
LOL 😉 Good one.
Ha. That presents an interesting dilemma!
How does quickshit “step into” quickshit?
I don’t know but I suspect it’s all gonna get flushed pretty soon! 😀
LOL! Afraid to get more popcorn, I am. Don’t want to miss a thing!
Please….have some of mine….
Well Nan IS from San Fran, where you can get a HUGE ticket for your dog pooping on the street, while you (and the dog) are dodging needles, condoms, drug paraphenalia and excement from the thousands of homeless camping out on the “Streets of San Francisco”…
She probably feels right at home. DANCE! Nan, DANCE!!!
Oh, Wait. NIMBY…

…..with all that popcorn, there has to be a movie in there somewhere
AMEN!
The reply was they were celebrating Chuck’s ,other being released from the hospital.
My, most people would say…,”Gosh, that’s great news, Chuck” instead of giggling and dancing. Just saying!
I did hear some audio with the short video so imagine some techie will soon have a good recording of the moment.
I just posted on the thread, which just jumped to two pages, that I find it really aggrevating that just as there is a downed drone, and we get right up to the brink of strikes, Trump calls them off, there is suddenly this stunning coincidence of a refinery fire in Pennsylvania, and a spike in oil and gas prives/futures, anything to put pressure on prices and turn global opinion against Iranian sanctions. These people are playing STUPID games and they are going to win STUPID prizes.
Excellent Points Michael!!
Well, just consider the possibility of some yummy CHICKEN-FRIED DEMOCRATS comin’ home to Sing-Sing to roost, and you’ll feel all WARM AND FUZZY AND FILLED UP LIKE WOLF.
BUUUUURP
MmmmMMM! Another Sanders who knows how to make them DEEE-LICIOUS!
Chicken you say? Oh how I love me some chicken,hell I can down 50 flappers in a settin.
Michael, I am with you too too too many coincidences going back many years on different things that always seem to pop up “just in time”.
That said, I do believe that Our Team knows the game being played. Like he did with the Our Movement speech in October 2016—in Orlando, President Trump pointed out the perps for the entire world to see.
That first mssg re: watching reactions gives me goosebumps. In a good way.
POTUS is 10 steps ahead of these clowns.

These people are stupid.

I am so Proud he’s OUR GUY!!!!!!
I would not be surprised if one of our true allies or our new allies helped convince them to go off-sides. This was just SMOOTH AS SILK.
LG&C!!!He really is!! and I love him MOAR for it !
My husband keeps shaking his head and says “people think POTUS is stupid and that is what gets them in trouble.”
One would think democrats learn but they do not they keep singing the same song over and over “POTUS is stupid.”
At the end they are the one who look stupid.
Just curious…how would anyone know about a meeting with Brennen…and why would they be so stupid to do it?
I can only answer the STUPID part…😂
FISA warrant and the 2-hop rule??? Christopher Steele, Alexander Downer, Deripaska—all foreign aggressors. Perhaps all of these idiots are under surveillance—LEGALLY.
I do believe Q suggested this more than once.
I need to find the tweet again…I read it to mean Pelosi and Schumer met Brennen after their Situation Room briefing. Probably mis-read.
Perhaps Nancy and Chuck are experiencing our intel agencies—“six ways to Sunday”! 😲
And they, nervous Nancy and crying Chuckster are toooo stuuupid to realize there are targets on them.
Me thinks…

Whenever I am prone to doubt or wonder –
I check myself, and say, ‘That mighty One
Who made the solar system cannot blunder –
And for the best all things are being done.’
Who set the stars on their eternal courses
Has fashioned this strange earth by come sure plan.
Bow low, bow low to those majestic forces,
Nor dare to doubt their wisdom – puny man.
You cannot put one little star in motion,
You cannot shape one single forest leaf,
Nor fling a mountain up, nor sink an ocean,
Presumptuous pigmy, large with unbelief.
You cannot bring one dawn of regal splendour
Nor bid the day to shadowy twilight fall,
Nor send the pale moon forth with radiance tender,
And dare you doubt the One who has done all?
‘So much is wrong, there is such pain – such sinning.’
Yet look again – behold how much is right!
And He who formed the world from its beginning
Knows how to guide it upward to the light.
Your task, O man, is not to carp and cavil
At God’s achievements, but with purpose strong
To cling to good, and turn away from evil –
That is the way to help the world along.

They’re trying another sexual assault/rape allegation with sketchy details from the 1990’s…it just goes on and on. These women are ridiculous and I don’t think anyone believes these people at this point…not even Democrats…well, maybe Joy Behar…
Oh, and of course this fraud is releasing this fakery in an upcoming book…imagine that.
…don’t know why I’m even posting this…but we have to know what these freaks are up to. The comment section is pretty funny ripping this woman’s ridiculous story apart.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/writer-says-she-was-raped-by-trump-in-1990-s-190337681.html
It’s so dang stupid and boring…It’s actually funny!! Hence, comments section!!!
Yup…It won’t take a single vote away from VSGPDJT. It just makes the Loony Left and their media stooges look even more desperate and ridiculous than they did in the last election and over the past 2 and a half years.
It didn’t work against President Trump several times…it didn’t work against Brett Kavanaugh several times…it didn’t work against Jim Jordan…and yet here they are trotting out another fractured fairy tale from 20 years ago concocted by some money grubbing puppet who can’t remember the key details. This should go over like a lead balloon.
I like this one:
“I hear Dr. Blasey-Ford wrote the forward for her book and Jussie Smollett gave a review found on the back cover.”
I wonder if she’ll hold a book signing event in the toilet paper isle at Target…
That’s supposed to be “aisle”
Although these degenerates like to frequent a particular “isle” on a regular basis as well…
Dedicated to Stormy.
My personal opinion when POTUS was single he did not need to rape any woman they were happy to date him. How dumb do these people think we are? Trump does not seem to be the raping kind because rapists rape over and over they do not just stop bad behavior.
Beelzebubba projections. Party of Rapists, Commies, Traitors and Pedophiles is projecting.

Magnanimous Panda Departs Pyongyang After “reinforcing the traditional friendship between China and North Korea”…
Posted on June 21, 2019
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/06/21/magnanimous-panda-departs-pyongyang-after-reinforcing-the-traditional-friendship-between-china-and-north-korea/#more-165332
“One of the reasons for the miscalculation is likely due to Beijing weighing their analysis and strategy based on typical Western reporting similar to THIS ARTICLE in the New York Times.
………………………………………….
NYT […] Before Mr. Xi landed in Pyongyang on Thursday, American officials said they expected him to try to secure Mr. Kim’s promise to take steps on nuclear weapons that might appeal to Mr. Trump, in hopes of gaining leverage for China in the trade dispute.
Mr. Xi signaled as much in a televised session with Mr. Kim on his first afternoon in Pyongyang, when he emphasized the need for the North and the United States to revive talks that broke down in Vietnam in February, when Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump last met.
“The international community hopes that North Korea and the United States can talk and for the talks to get results,” Mr. Xi said, sitting across a table from Mr. Kim. (read more)
………………………………………….
This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if SD isn’t some kind of disinformation agent, because how could one of the most powerful nations in the world (china) be making ANY decisions based on ‘reporting’ in the NYT?
It’s so ludicrous, I’m not even sure how to respond.
A) If anyone knows how completely bogus, fake, corrupt and orchestrated ‘Western media’ is, it is our ENEMIES.
B) to suppose that one of the most power and wealthiest nations in the world (china) is going to make CRITICAL geo-political decisions affecting their OWN SURVIVAL — based on NYT reportage — is so criminally insane that I don’t know how he even managed to type it out.
China isn’t some goof on the street who doesn’t have enough cash to do some of the most basic due diligence before making a life-altering decision…
Why… I bet china even has enough money to at least hire someone like Jim Rockford for $200 a day plus expenses…
Not to mention their entire intelligence apparatus, which almost has to be one of the best in the world. They must have a complete psychological profile on DJT and his entire team, they must have experts who have studied each of their career histories, they must have advisors specifically chosen because they KNOW DJT and his people, from long years of experience and business dealings…
With the fate of the world (and certainly the future of china) hanging in the balance… china can’t possibly be run by a bunch of clowns making critical national decisions based on the incoherent scripts written by actors and actresses like Maggie Haberman and Paul Krugman (the only two clowns I can think of from NYT).
It’s just inconceivable.
How could Xi ever get into a position of such immense power, if he is that stupid? Are we supposed to believe he’s another Chauncey Gardiner? Are ALL the leaders of the world’s nations Chauncey Gardiner?
WTH?
It’s not possible…
Just take a look at how idiotic the NYT ‘report’ is, on its face:
“NYT […] Before Mr. Xi landed in Pyongyang on Thursday, American officials said they expected him to try to secure Mr. Kim’s promise to take steps on nuclear weapons that might appeal to Mr. Trump, in hopes of gaining leverage for China in the trade dispute.”
Are those real ‘American Officials’, or imaginary ones like the NYT usually ‘quotes’?
Why would ‘expectations’ of imaginary ‘American Officials’ matter AT ALL to china? Is the team doesn’t even have a frame of reference for an option that is ‘less bad’ suddenly going to throw away their entire worldview, huddle up on the field, while Xi kneels down and draw up a completely new game plan in the dirt, based on anonymous ‘sources’ in the NYT?!?
.
“Mr. Xi signaled as much in a televised session with Mr. Kim on his first afternoon in Pyongyang, when he emphasized the need for the North and the United States to revive talks that broke down in Vietnam in February, when Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump last met.
“The international community hopes that North Korea and the United States can talk and for the talks to get results,” Mr. Xi said, sitting across a table from Mr. Kim. (read more)
There is no such thing as an ‘international community’… if it was a ‘community’, they wouldn’t be separate sovereign nations. Each nation — and more specifically, each nation’s corrupt leaders — has their own interests, which inevitably conflict with others.
Some might choose to align themselves toward peace, but not the overwhelming majority — because if they did, there’d be peace breaking out all over the place, instead of war and chaos everywhere, even importing such chaos and violence into every formerly ‘stable’ nation for just that purpose.
It’s like watching Bad Conceptual Theater… with your host, Leonard Pinth-Garnell…

It’s like suggesting that the world’s largest hedge fund managers don’t do any of their own research, and instead, are making critical decisions based on what Neil Cavuto says…
It’s just so stupid, it makes me want to drive a spike into my head, just to make the pain stop, LOL!
“It’s like suggesting that the world’s largest hedge fund managers don’t do any of their own research, and instead, are making critical decisions based on what Neil Cavuto says…”
_________________
Actually it’s far worse than that.
At least Neil Cavuto has familiarity with the subject matter.
This is more like suggesting that the world’s largest hedge fund managers don’t do any of their own research, and instead, are making critical decisions based on what Alyssa Milano says…
Hedge Fund Manager Tom to Hedge Fund CFO Mike: Hey Mike, do you think we should liquidate $3.8 billion in the technology sector and go all-in on precious metals?
CFO Mike: “I dunno Tom… what does Alyssa Milano think?”
Hedge Fund Manager Tom: “Hang on, I’ll check her recent Tweets for any direct references or indicators….”
Scott – you are absolutely right about China on this one. The reality is that CHINA controls the bogus propaganda viewpoint of the Times – not vice versa. China is the lawyer who never asks a question they don’t know the answer to, and the Times is the coached witness who states the DESIRED ANSWER ON CUE.
The problem? The reality of the China-Western-Media dynamic has no credibility with the CNN mind-control populace, and only people like me who don’t give a damn about being called “conspiracy theorists” will speak it freely.
THUS, I will posit that SD is NOT acting as a disinfo agent in this case. Rather, he likely SUSPECTS exactly what we’re thinking, and KNOWS that POTUS believes the same thing – that the Western media, knowingly or unknowingly, depending on circumstances – MOUTHS CHINESE WORDS.
The closest thing he CAN say, relative to that reality, and still maintain credibility with the people he seeks to influence, is what he’s saying – that “they don’t know Trump”.
The reality is that they DO know Trump, and are trying to SET EXPECTATIONS for MEDIA PRESSURE ON HIM TO FOLLOW, because they know he is very likely to deviate.
NOW – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
What did China do to Nixon? Exactly what they tried with Trump. Catch him in a VISE – a PINCER.
China (YOU MUST TRADE WITH US), the Soviets (VIETNAM + AMERICAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION) and the KGB-CIA (WATERGATE) forced Nixon into a position of weakness, from which he tried to save himself by doing what China wanted. The media did not care – they brought him down as planned.
ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
This IRAN STUFF is not happening in a vacuum. A GAME is afoot, and the GAME IS THIS:
China (YOU MUST TRADE WITH US) connects to all the old players in a new configuration, with the addition of North Korea and Iran as proxies. The communists MUST get Trump into a “new Vietnam” which creates multiple global Soviet pressures on the United States and TRUMP in particular, and (very important) provides an excuse for VIOLENT DEMONSTRATIONS and cultural revolution in America.
Trump has smartly BALKED at every bad pitch (Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, North Korea) they have thrown at him. IRAN was supposed to be his mistake this time, and he calmly disarmed it right when his enemies exposed themselves.
Trust that IRAN and NORTH KOREA are cued to ACT OUT in some way or another, in a SCRIPT developed by CHINA and OUR TREASONOUS DEMOCRATS.
CHINA has – IMO – SECURED THE COOPERATION OF THE NORKS in some devilish plot against Trump. Xi has, IMO, promised Kim some way to be free of Trump.
They are ALL counting on containment of Trump.
Now – look at the SMOOTHNESS of Trump boomeranging them on Iran. Our MILITARY is clearly ahead of this game. It was great.
The Obama Democrats are engaged in TREASON for CHINA and we have them skunked – SO FAR – on IRAN.
HOWEVER, if we’re not absolutely certain what the plot using the Norks is, then we need to be very careful.
TREASON IS STILL AFOOT. TREASON USING BOTH IRAN AND NORTH KOREA.
If the post above were a baseball, not only would it have just left the ballpark over the center wall fence, it would also be missing it’s cover.
“The reality is that CHINA controls the bogus propaganda viewpoint of the Times – not vice versa. China is the lawyer who never asks a question they don’t know the answer to, and the Times is the coached witness who states the DESIRED ANSWER ON CUE.”
___________
Exactly. I don’t claim to know who is pulling which specific strings on any given day, but the Democrat-Marxist Party (and the Uni-Party RINOs to a lesser but significant degree) are clearly and obviously acting in direct opposition to:
A) their constituents
B) their oath of office
C) the law
D) national security
We can debate WHY they are doing this (and much more) — blackmail, orders from C_A / DNC, bribery, willful treason with Narco-Marxists (Mexico), crime syndicate oligarchy Marxists (Russia), Statist Mao Marxists (China), islamo-Marxists (Pakistan, Muzzie Brotherhood), etc. — but there is no longer any credible argument that Democrat-Marxist Party and their accomplices in MSM media and ‘big tech’ are NOT doing these things, acting in open opposition to the interests of America, our sovereignty and our Constitution.
.
“Now – look at the SMOOTHNESS of Trump boomeranging them on Iran. Our MILITARY is clearly ahead of this game. It was great.”
________________
Yes, it appears that they keep provoking DJT to react militarily (which would help the provocateurs), but instead he keeps reacting with very targeted financial strikes (tariffs, black lists, trade deals without CoC influence, etc.), which not only hurts the provocateurs, but taken in combination, synergistically erodes their capacity to keep provoking.
They keep trying to get him to light a fuse ‘over here’, and he keeps throwing water on their entire camp ‘over there’ instead.
Or to use a civil analogy, they keep smacking him in the face trying to provoke a physical confrontation, and he keeps suing them in court instead, winning judgments against them. 😁
“The problem? The reality of the China-Western-Media dynamic has no credibility with the CNN mind-control populace, and only people like me who don’t give a damn about being called “conspiracy theorists” will speak it freely.

_______________
Is it Chinese words, or Carlos Slim’s words, or Putin’s words, or Soros’s words?
Somebody is orchestrating all of this, it can’t happen without an almost unimaginable degree of coordination, because it would be abject chaos otherwise.
We might keep seeing the same black cat walk across the hall, they might not even be trying to fix that particular glitch in the matrix anymore, but the rest of the ‘construct’ is more or less ‘intact’. It couldn’t possibly be so, as a global construct, which a massive amount of coordination and leadership.
If they are all working toward the same objective, does it even matter which one it is, on any given day?
.
.
The closest thing he CAN say, relative to that reality, and still maintain credibility with the people he seeks to influence, is what he’s saying – that “they don’t know Trump”.”
_________________
Who does SD seek to influence?
His readers are willing to accept the truth, even following his unraveling of the ‘splitter-strategy’ to the bottom of the rabbit hole and back again. So his readership is plenty capable of understanding and digesting complex organizational manipulation by various power structures.
Would he not gain immensely more credibility with his readers if he continued to speak the truth plainly to them, regardless of what detractors might label ‘conspiracy theories’? Who cares what one’s detractors say anyway, if they’re wrong?
Or worse, if they’re not just wrong, but intentionally so?
Truth wins. Exposure wins. Sunlight wins!
edit / correction: “It couldn’t possibly be so, as a global construct,
whichWITHOUT a massive amount of coordination and leadership.”I am not making all of these errors… I did NOT misspell WITHOUT by spelling it “w h i c h”.
This has happened multiple times today, where I typed the word I meant to use, and when I read it after posting, the word has changed.
It’s still an English word, but it’s NOT the word I typed. Usually it’s a derivation of the word I typed, but this one wasn’t even close.
I hear you, and I know the program you are thinking of CAN BE WRITTEN and works to achieve actual socialist objectives.
It takes a big set to take it when they call you a loon because you are a “conspiracy theorist,” and SD doesn’t have them.
He wants to be “famous” and “respected.”
IMHO.
Except if he really wanted to be famous, he would use his own name, instead of the name of Butch’s sidekick 😁
Definitely agreed with your first sentence.
I don’t think SD realizes exactly how DEEPLY red-pilled Trump is, and I think THAT is the problem. Unless one acquires personal knowledge in the woo-woo region, anything that reaches up into that region seems too unbelievable to personally trust, back, or espouse at a professional level. SD may be trying to maintain credibility with people who he THINKS are a lot more “standard top secret / non-SAP” than they really are.
Or consider that I’m wrong, and SD actually does know the score. However, he may guard some of his thoughts, thinking he might lose respect, OR (and I put some weight on this) he may realize that he can’t be too woo-woo and still slip his material past certain NSC gatekeepers for Trump, so he tones it down from what he knows is true.
OMG – that would explain why they had to drive us out. Some kind of credibility preservation operation.
Remember when General Kelly was approving Trump’s reading material, supposedly?
Yeah. This is making sense.
That does make some sense to me, too.
I believe you are probably more correct in thinking that SD doesn’t understand how red-pilled the President really is. Remember, he went to all the parties, knew Epstein and the Clintons on a social basis, and worked around ALL the scum in New York. All the while, he’s sober as a judge, they all fall for his buffoon act, and he not only personally gathers information, he has investigators doing it, too. Now, he has military intel, the NSA, and FISA warrants.
TRUMP KNOWS EVERYTHING.
If SD does indeed “know the score,” he is amazing at covering it up. Some of the negative stuff he writes, the gloom and doom stuff, seems very real to me.
I do think, however, that our banishment was to preserve credibility with some people. I just don’t know if those were people around the President, or people who send money to SD’s paypal account.

You beat me to it!
Your turn next, JW!
Not tonight….er this morning. I am out—almost 1:30AM.
Take care and Good Night!
Peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams I pray for you – in the name of Jesus – I pray – Amen!
Thank you Duchess! God knows that I need all the prayers I can get. 🙂
We all do, JW – especially, our countries, our leaders, and the people – God is helping us – I really believe He is!
Your keyboard to His eyes.
Amen, JW!
And this is curious… early comments from Jerold Nadler to Hope Hicks before her ‘testimony’ commenced:
………………………………..
Nadler: “Ms. Hicks, you should also understand that although this interview is not under oath you are required by law to answer questions from Congress truthfully. I assume you understand that?
Ms. Hicks: Yes, sir.
Chairman Nadler: This applies also to questions posed by congressional staff as well, and I assume you understand that as well?
Ms. Hicks: Yes, sir.
Chairman Nadler: Witnesses who knowingly provide false testimony could be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury or for making false statements. Do you understand that?
Ms. Hicks. Yes, sir.”
…………………………………..
So if you are very specifically NOT under oath — the express purpose of testifying under oath being to compel truthfulness by making it illegal to lie — then how can you be prosecuted for lying if you are expressly NOT under oath?
It is the ‘under oath’ part that constitutes ‘breaking the law’ if you ‘violate’ the ‘oath’… and if you are not ‘under oath’, then what ‘law’ has been broken which could lead to prosecution?
Nevermind the irony of that lying sack of &^%$ Nadler threatening anyone else with prosecution for lying…
When a person is prosecuted, there are separate federal regulations for perjury specifically and lying to the feds generally. Under the United States Code, title 18, section 1001, a person who knowingly or willingly makes a material statement that is false, or fraudulent, to the feds, is guilty of a crime. What comes as a surprise to many is that unlike section 1621, section 1001 does not require that a person be under oath.

Thank you for the link.
Law isn’t supposed to be a ‘surprise’… in our system, the whole purpose of Law, ultimately, is to protect the rights of the individual — not to create an ambush.
Or for a different kind of example, if everyone understands that ‘green’ means ‘go’, and ‘red’ means ‘stop’, the government can’t change the law in the dead of night and then give tickets to everyone at 8am the next morning for ‘breaking’ the ‘law’.
The entire system of ‘codes and statutes’ is either wholly corrupt (which I would argue it is), or it applies only to those who have CONSENTED to it, i.e., federal and/or state employees, who have consented to all these ‘in-house’ rules as part of their employment contract.
The rest of us are not employed by the government, and therefore are not subject to their ‘inside baseball’ rules and codes of conduct.
Here’s the analogy.
Suppose you have a friend who is on the Washington Redskins pro football team.
You both have the exact same Constitutional rights, and you can both stay out as late as you please.
But the football team has rules (codes, statutes) which all the players must follow, including a curfew on Saturday nights before game day. Violation of that ‘code’ triggers a $20k fine and suspension for that particular game. Your friend agreed (consented) to that penalty when he signed his contract.
One Saturday you and your friend go out Saturday evening together and stay out way past curfew.
The next morning, a team manager shows up at your friend’s house, hands him a bill for $20,000 and tells him not to bother showing up for the game, he’s suspended.
Your friend has to pay the fine, or it will just be deducted from his salary anyway, and he can’t play in Sunday’s game, regardless. Those are the rules, according to the ‘codes’ he agreed to.
But if the team manager shows up at your door with a bill for $20,000 you can laugh in his face and tell him to pound sand. You don’t have a contract with the football team, and you didn’t consent to their ‘rules’ or ‘codes’ or ‘statutes’.
.
One might argue that Hope Hicks DID consent, via her employment in the federal government (in the WH). But she is no longer a federal employee, she is now a private citizen, and whatever contract she had with the federal government wherein she consented to a litany of codes and statutes and rules, is over.
So that leaves us where we started.
If I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, in a court of law or under some kind of ‘official’ inquiry, and I break that oath, then that is a obviously a violation of law.
But if I don’t take any such oath, and I say something untrue, then at the very worst, I’m just doing what nearly every politician does a thousand times a day… every day…
Very clearly described!
It would be nice if members of Congress would tell the truth once in a while. That would be a good place to start before they go around threatening American citizens with violating the very law that they can’t seem to uphold themselves. Schiff for Brains has told more lies all by himself in the last 2+ years to fill the Grand Canyon.
Josh Hawley: “Here’s what I say: if the monopoly-size tech platforms want to keep their special immunity given by the fed govt, they should stop censoring political viewpoints they don’t like ”
_______________
With all due respect (and I’m glad he’s speaking up), how does ANY of this constitute an ‘if / then’ scenario, such that LAW could be ignored so long as big tech does what it ‘should’?!?
Is EVERYTHING through the looking-glass at this point?
A) since WHEN does any corporation (much less, ‘big tech’) get ‘special immunity’ from the RULE of LAW?!?!
B) since when do those responsible for ENFORCING the RULE of LAW wag their fingers at LAW BREAKERS, telling them what they “SHOULD” do?
That’s NOT how matters of LAW works!
Don’t take my word for it, TRY it!
If you try robbing a bank, the security guard isn’t going to tell you that you should put that money back if you want to retain some special immunity from prosecution and remain free…
What the freakin’ *&^%#(%$*^&$)@#w IS GOING ON?!?
He puts a bullet between your eyes, and ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ ain’t part of the equation!
If ‘big tech’ is CENSORING views they don’t like (and everyone knows they are!), then they are VIOLATING the RIGHTS of those whom they are CENSORING!
So *^&@#&%!#%#*^$@&ing STOP THEM already!
What does ‘big tech’ have to do, shoot 500 people from a hotel in Vegas before law enforcement will do their job?!?
FYI
47 USC 230
(b) Policy
It is the policy of the United States—
(1) to promote the continued development of the Internet and other interactive computer services and other interactive media;
(2) to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation;
(3) to encourage the development of technologies which maximize user control over what information is received by individuals, families, and schools who use the Internet and other interactive computer services;
(4) to remove disincentives for the development and utilization of blocking and filtering technologies that empower parents to restrict their children’s access to objectionable or inappropriate online material; and
(5) to ensure vigorous enforcement of Federal criminal laws to deter and punish trafficking in obscenity, stalking, and harassment by means of computer.
(c) Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material
(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2) Civil liability
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).
If that’s true then the federal government is in violation of their own U.S. code.
Practically from top to bottom:
“It is the policy of the United States—
(2) to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation;”
They could fail any bigger there; you can’t even spell ‘Google’ at this point without the letters M O N O P O L Y.
It is NOT a ‘free market’ – total fail
.
“(3) to encourage the development of technologies which maximize user control over what information is received by individuals, families, and schools who use the Internet and other interactive computer services;”
Total fail; users have almost ZERO control over the abuse of their privacy and private information.
.
“(4) to remove disincentives for the development and utilization of blocking and filtering technologies that empower parents to restrict their children’s access to objectionable or inappropriate online material; and”
Total fail; your kids can see mock assassinations of the president and all kinds of porn on the ‘big tech’ platforms all day long; but make a comment about the death cult of islam or any other subject ‘big purple Kool-Aid tech’ doesn’t like, and you are suddenly ‘cut off’
.
“(5) to ensure vigorous enforcement of Federal criminal laws to deter and punish trafficking in obscenity, stalking, and harassment by means of computer.”
Total fail; ‘big tech’ has created an entire enterprise to harass conservatives ‘by means of computer’, and any obscenity is fine, so long as it targets the ‘right’ people or views.
.
The whole thing is a bad joke.
edit / correction: “They
couldCOULDN’T fail any bigger there; you can’t even spell ‘Google’ at this point without the letters M O N O P O L Y.”This is an interesting article by Imperator Rex on why Papadopoulis is so important, and not just in the Spygate mess. He puts some pretty good information together to show that Obama and Brennan probably engineered the attempted coup against Erdogan.

Great article. He also has one about Comey, Garcia, and VSGPDJT’s way with words and indirection. It’s from mid-May, but still relevant.
https://quodverum.com/2019/05/133/trump-the-angry-democrats-a-new-twist-.html
Thanks for the link, Linda…most interesting, indeed! Towards the end it mentions the ongoing investigation by Turkish prosecutors of fomenting the revolution….lots of familiar names!
I knew I liked George. He was just the kind of useful idiot they needed to dupe. But he was too smart to get fall in any of their obvious traps 😉
I really hope that when Spygate blows over that VSGPDJT gives him, ahem, something important to do.
By God I believe Israel is going to become an energy super-power sooner than anyone ever realized or thought possible!
There are a lot of people who won’t be very happy about it. How much will Crimea be worth if you can’t sell your resources, hmmm?
Fox Biz is reporting Atty General Barr is investigating the origins of “Russia wanted to help Trump” assumptions from the Intel Community……… because others disagree (Admiral Rogers).
Tom Fitton said, it’s not clear at all the Russians wanted to help Trump. Maybe they were trying to help Hillary, thwart Hillary, tie up Hillary, and certainly did not think Trump would win.
Brennan in the crosshairs.

Long but very good article about hypersonics. (We’re currently behind China and Russia on development. And there is no defense against this type of weapon, at present.)
“Scary Fast: The Global Hypersonic Arms Race That Will Change Warfare Forever”
“Griffin was referring to a revolutionary new type of weapon, one that would have the unprecedented ability to maneuver and then to strike almost any target in the world within a matter of minutes. Capable of traveling at more than 15 times the speed of sound, hypersonic missiles arrive at their targets in a blinding, destructive flash, before any sonic booms or other meaningful warning. So far, there are no surefire defenses. Fast, effective, precise and unstoppable — these are rare but highly desired characteristics on the modern battlefield. And the missiles are being developed not only by the United States but also by China, Russia and other countries.” …
“Hypersonics pose a different threat from ballistic missiles, according to those who have studied and worked on them, because they could be maneuvered in ways that confound existing methods of defense and detection. Not to mention, unlike most ballistic missiles, they would arrive in under 15 minutes — less time than anyone in Hawaii or elsewhere would need to meaningfully react.” …
“And it’s not just Russia, China and the United States that are interested in fast-flying military power drills. France and India have active hypersonics development programs, and each is working in partnership with Russia, according to a 2017 report by the Rand Corp., a nonpartisan research organization heavily funded by the Pentagon. Australia, Japan and the European Union have either civilian or military hypersonics research underway, the report said, partly because they are still tantalized by the prospect of making super-speedy airplanes large enough to carry passengers across the globe in mere hours. But Japan’s immediate effort is aimed at making a weapon that will be ready for testing by 2025.”

Quote:
“We’re currently behind China and Russia on development.”
Hmmmm. That’s news to me, whereas all the rest is not.
You got a believable, credible source for that comment?? Because, just for starters, information like that would be TOP SECRET.
I’ll assume no reply means “no, I don’t have a credible source for making that comment.”
Using OSINT sources it’s a reasonable deduction that U.S. is behind on hypersonics, thanks to a decade of defense sequestration and military rebuilding.
However the U.S. has a long history of skunkworks military projects that were kept highly classified until long after the technology had reached obsolescence.
Also given the public Russian and Chinese propaganda about their hypersonic “capabilities” I suspect that they are not as advanced as they claim.
It makes really good headlines talking about new technologies that cannot be defended against by current technologies, but the reality is that militaries around the world are always chasing these unicorns.
I’m pretty sure one of our constellation of massive U.S. Space Force orbital ion cannons could take these hypersonics out in short order.
Exactly so.
In other words…clickbait.
Pentagon’s under secretary for research and engineering Michael D. Griffin:
“But the fact of the matter is that in the area of hypersonics, to pick one, both China and Russia are observably ahead of where our current state of practice is.”
You’ll find the transcript of his March, 2019 talk linked towards the end of the article cited above. 🙂
Oops make that the UnderSecretary for R & D’s 2018 talk…apologies.
No worries. Get back to me when you find someone in that position say to Congress or anyone else (and I paraphrase)…
“We are way ahead of our potential adversaries in this area and don’t need or want any additional funding for R&D.”

“The Supreme Court Just Showed a Way Forward on Criminal Justice Reform
In a little-noticed case, the Supreme Court on Friday held 7–2 that undocumented immigrants charged with possessing firearms must know their unlawful status to be convicted of a crime.” …
“Rehaif v. United States has surprisingly broad implications because it addresses two important, atypically partisan fault lines. First, what level of intent should be required to convict people for crimes? When Republicans in the last Congress proposed sweeping mens rea reform to include a default intent element for federal crimes, Democrats balked, fearing a conga line of white-collar acquittals. Second, how broadly should a right deemed both fundamental and individual by the Supreme Court in Heller be denied to whole swaths of Americans by legislative fiat? Thomas, who once fretted that the Second Amendment was being treated as a second-rate right, here finds himself in favor of sharply restricting it.”
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/06/stephen-breyer-supreme-court-criminal-justice-reform.html
Very weird. I need a source other than Slate to dig into this. I think they’re playing fast and loose with their “whole swaths of Americans” language.
No surprise to me….

Okay my dear conspiracy theorists.
Background.
Jawad Zarif is the foreign minister of Iran. It was Zarif’s son who was the best man at John Kerry’s daughter’s wedding. John Kerry’s daughter married an Iranian (born and raised in the USA) while they were both resident physicians at Mass General. Zarif was at the wedding in 2009. Zarif is also the man who had dinner with Dianne Feinstein a few weeks ago. We know, Obama sent the frozen assets (150 BILLION), which should not have legally been released. We know Loretta Lynch pleaded the 5th, testimony to Congress, when asked about the 150 BILLION or the 1.5 billion in cash. We know ValJar is Iranian. We know Obama was so desperate for an Iranian deal he killed Operation Cassandra in Lebanon and Africa (The excellent Politico article about selling used cars, car dealers in the USA, money flowing to Hezbollah, DEA and CIA angry about stopping the operation). https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/
President Trump is elected, rips up the Iran Deal and begins debilitating sanctions on Iran. The Rial was at 17K to the US Dollar in Sept of ’17 and went to 150K to the US Dollar by last summer. Remember all the reports from Heshmat and Thomas Wictor?
Present Week:
1. Iran shoots down our magnificent and expensive drone in international waters = act of war.
2. USA response is expected, assumed.
3. Security staff goes over options and leadership of Congress is called in to be briefed at the WH.
4. Pelosi and Schumer seen happy/skipping/giddy out of the meeting with President. Excuse given is Schumer’s mother was released from emergency room. No. If elder mom is released from emergency room, natural reaction would be “relief” not giddiness.
5. From one source, we have info Schumer and Pelosi met with Brennan and key members of caucus.
6. Strike called off at about 7:00pm, ten minutes from target. Three targets were identified within Iran.
7. After banging the war drums all day long for a “measured response”, and the media accusing the president of being a warmonger……….. NYTimes released info about President Trump aborting the operation in Iran……… Ben Rhodes goes into meltdown, “Why did he not bomb…..” and “Trump is weak……..” along with all other media pundits.
8. Overnight, largest refinery on the east coast has a cataclysmic fire. Refinery is located in Philly, between NYC and DC. Will gas prices on the east coast rise at the beginning of summer driving season? Explosion was heard in South Jersey. Price for oil and LNG spike 5% on news.
9. Conservatives dumbfounded, why no strike? We wait to hear from the President.
10. And then….. the President sent a message to the Mullahs, the only reason they were not bombed was because of President Trump = To the Mullahs, the ONLY WAY OUT of their problems is through President Trump.
Does it seem a little convenient……… coincidental……. to anyone here, an assumed strike on Iran + a refinery explosion in Philly the SAME NIGHT? Start a war with Iran, deflect from failing Democrats, the Atty General investigations, th REAL problem of the southern border? We’ve learned to accept nothing at face value. Am I wrong to think about ulterior motives of those who wish to do harm to the USA or our President? What about General Jack Keane, on Fox this morning, who told the audience he heard from someone in the WH, that Trump had information the strike was from a rogue general…. not approved? The President alluded to this point in his afternoon presser with Justin Trudeau. What if it’s true? What would be the reason for a rogue general to provoke the USA into war? Interesting questions.
Bottom line: A decade ago, the prospect of war between Iran and the USA +++++ a refinery explosion directly between the two major media outlets, would cause a crash in the stock market and oil price to rise precipitously high.
But that didn’t happen, did it?
Why not?
Because EVERYTHING has changed and Trump is the President.
Because the oil market is far more stable with the USA as #1 producer.
The market knew by opening bell, President Trump is not a warmonger.
The market is a cruel mistress and the market never lies.
Recall President Trump’s recent interview where Hannity was worried about hotspots all over the world, including the possibility of Iran becoming a regional hedgemon. Trump replied, paraphrasing, “Don’t worry, everything is under control. All going according to plan.”
I think the President smelled a setup.
My take is
POTUS and Pompeo have known all along what was/is happening (who, what, when, where, and why)
AND
the “strike” was a feint to watch reactions from bad actors to see who knew what and how.
Seriously….look at the past two years. Please point to even one serious miscalculation.
POTUS’ batting record is unprecedented.
I love the orb.
It sent a lot of bad GOP actors homes, for starters.
Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House. He quit “voluntarily”. When is the last time a sitting Speaker his age did that?
His Face (ryan’s) when he and Nunes visited the ORB…said it all…
Precisely.
I went looking for it..couldn’t find–Probably whitewashed from internet…No Surprise! But Hoestly he looked like he literally saw a ghost…and then–“Ima gonna go hang with my teenage sons” or whatever (Rolls eyes)
Or Lyin’ Ryan might have meant “I’m-a gonna hang with Hillary”…
“TREASON?”
I’m open to hearing other ideas, but all other explanations fall short in terms of credibility.
Given all we now know about POTUS, my bet is he told Ryan something along the lines of…
“I know all about you. I don’t expect you to support me…in fact I don’t want you to support me…but you WILL step down as Speaker and leave Congress quietly, or I will bury you such that your own family and kids will disown you. You are small fry and I’m after MUCH bigger fish, so take my offer and don’t make yourself a target for me.”
It seemed to deflate all the msm expectations of warmonger POTUS. And now sone woman is claiming POTUS assaulted her. These people are transparently evil but are still walking the earth.
https://ktla.com/2019/06/21/trump-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-advice-columnist-e-jean-carroll-in-mid-90s-manhattan/
No doubt she has a great excuse for not coming forward in 2016 and allowing a “sexual predator” to become president. The excuse is usually “I didn’t think he would win.” Now her timing is so *interesting* as Pres. Trump just kicked off his 2020 campaign.
The Left seems to be out of ammo. They are recycling the war monger bit and the Me Too bit, and Nadler is doing his best to recycle Mueller/muh Russia. They are desperate and, though transparent, still dangerous.
Like the way you think, Daughn!

This is an interesting take by Brian Cates on what POTUS just did to the dems, NeverTrump, MCM, et al:
Here is the whole thread:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1142167393696768000.html
I really enjoyed these excerpts…so true!! 😂
.
.
“Trump about to launch an invasion of Iran?
Are people really this stupid?
Trump’s about to turn into George W. Bush, you’re being told?
What drugs are these people taking?
These are the same people who screamed that Trump’s Syria strike presaged a full scale US invasion.
**Absolutely** Democrats are trying to bait Trump into starting a US-led war with Iran.
But here’s the thing these idiots can’t grasp:
Under Trump, the US will never LEAD anything in the Middle East ever again.
We proved that in Syria.
These people are trapped in 2003. The world has changed and they can’t see it.
But the MSM is locked in this “The-US-Has-To-Lead-Or-Nothing-Gets-Done” mentality.
When it’s time to go into Iran after the Mullah’s fall, if a coalition of military forces are needed, the US will only be there in a SUPPORT role. Just like they were in Syria.
The locals will do all the heavy lifting.
People whine that it takes longer this way, they’re used to watching the US go in, invade, blow all the shit up, occupy, set up a transition gov’t, etc. etc.
Well boo hoo hoo.
Which is better: have the US lead the way, invade, occupy, f up the transition, then get stuck there for years
OR
Go the slow sure way with the locals in charge, let the sanctions work, then let the LOCALS handle the transition, which they’d do better anyway??
Trump game planned the difference long ago, it’s clear which route he’s chosen.
Of course all the idiots out there will never figure this out.”
Brian Cates is genius 🙂

I loved this:
Whoopsie!!!
You know what’s even MORE delicious??
If this actually happened, you can be 100% certain that what Iran got to see was most assuredly NOT how we would conduct a first strike on them.
True Story!
Yep. Obama ain’t running things no more.
ICYMI, here’s Chancy’s Dance after Iran briefing
What is happening here?
Simple.
The clowns were briefed that they were going to get what they wanted…..their proxies in Iran had successfully baited POTUS into striking Iran militarily…and they were giddy over that.
Later, POTUS pulled the rug out from under them when he cancelled the strike.
The BIG question is….did he actually intend to strike Iran and changed his mind OR did he never intend to strike Iran and kill 150+ people over losing a MACHINE and instead was simply playing the clowns for who they truly are?
I’ll bet anyone $100 to their $1 it was the latter.
This woman is totally bizarre:
Most women on the left are bizarre. Nothing new about that.
The beautiful part about this is that the left has convinced themselves that this bizarreness is the new normal, when it really isn’t. Thus they give credence to crap like this when in fact it just under,ones their credibility with normal people…
….which is PRECISELY why Trump rallies are drawing tens of thousands but Joe Biden can’t muster more than a few dozen.

Shocker: C-Span Shut Out Of Live Coverage Of S.C. Democrat Convention
South Carolina Democrats have decided to give MSNBC, the most partisan liberal-leaning cable network, exclusive rights to live coverage. All the other networks, including C-Span, CNN, and Fox News Channel, are required to wait three hours after the convention ends to show their live footage.
In an interview, a spokesman for the South Carolina Democratic Party, Tim Sullivan, disputed the notion that networks had been “barred” from covering the convention, though he conceded that MSNBC had indeed been granted the exclusive live rights.
Mr. Sullivan said the decision was part of a broader agreement with MSNBC that, he argued, would enhance the proceedings. Two MSNBC hosts, Joy-Ann Reid and the Rev. Al Sharpton, are set to interview each of the Democratic presidential candidates from a set constructed inside the convention hall.
C-Span, normally a stoic, quiet presence in political coverage is making their objections known. In an attempt to put a halt to a potentially slippery slope, C-Span is going public with its complaint. CNN and Fox News Channel lodged complaints, too.
“This has never happened before, ever,” said Steve Scully, the C-Span political editor, who has overseen the channel’s campaign coverage since the early 1990s.

They’re communists. It’s just that simple.
AND this explains an enormous amount about MSNBC.
– Rachel Maddow, Rhodes scholar, “trans” narrative actor
– David Axelrod infiltration as special political puppetmaster
– Ax leaving a DNC operative in charge of political reporting
– Why MSNBC was “kind to Trump” at the key junctures where the DNC hoped to push the “sideshow candidates” including Trump ahead of Jeb and other “serious” candidates
MSNBC is “red” as in the old “red”.
Yep.
You know that “MSNBC” stands for Moonbats Spewing Nothing But Communism, right?
speaking of MSNBC…funny how Rachel Madcow spends so much time ranting about privileged white men even as she tries so hard to look like one, isn’t it?

Busting the Iran fake news has been fun today. Sadly I think it distracted from the Panda dance in Pyongyang – again, timing is suspect, geopolitical noise allowing the Dragon to operate under the radar.
I’m expecting a SECOND PLOT related to Norks. Just my Wolf Whiskers thinking this Iran bust was too easy.
