Dear KMAG: 20190704 Open Topic

This FOURTH OF JULY 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! KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both).

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.


And what do we want to be able to tell our VSG?

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:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

A Look at Fourth of July at the White House, Past and Present

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/F20170704AH-1453-2017-1200×720.jpg

Let me start off with a huge HAT TIP to duchess01 for alerting me to this great messaging from “the top”.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/look-fourth-july-white-house-past-present/

Please CLICK ON IT!!!

Well worth a visit for the EXCELLENT slideshow which puts the absolute LIE to the contention that President Trump’s Salute to America is in any way a vanity project.

Just take a look at WHICH past Presidents of the United States did this before. (You got a TINY HINT of JUST THE BEGINNING at the very top with TEDDY ROOSEVELT.)

FAKE NEWS IS FAKE.

UNMASKING TRUMP IS UNMASKING.

And yes, our LION isn’t ALONE!

Look VERY CLOSELY and you may see a HONEY BADGER!

NO! Not THAT ONE! THIS ONE!!!

Yes, our HONEY BADGER has a message for us that I used for the header!

SO – without further ado, I am now honored to post THIS JULY 4th OPEN THREAD, in which WE THE PEOPLE provide THE NEWS.

And GOD BLESS these UNITED STATES of AMERICA!

NEVER STOP HOWLIN’ IN DEFENSE OF OUR FREEDOMS!

Guess I should have posted this on this thread.
Will say that I was shocked.

ozzytrumpster

aahahaaa. Another own goal for the demoncraps

kinthenorthwest

Boy did they screw up on this one LOL

ozzytrumpster

Sorta to be expected. They are natural born fuckups

kinthenorthwest

lately yes

ozzytrumpster

Potus baits and switches and screws them up for fun

kinthenorthwest

Can’t believe that any American would want to see the destruction of America politically and/or economically like liberals do.

kinthenorthwest

Problem is that its the elites that have been talking away from the people lower than them.

ozzytrumpster

They don’t think they are Americans as you do. They are the international elite with the right connections and educated at the right colleges-not that their degrees are worth the paper they are written on. They are here to rule to great unwashed ignorant, semi literate, bigoted worker drones.
Tough gig but someone has to do it

grandmaintexas

You are entirely correct. Have had occasion to speak to a few (am related to them 😀) and they were shocked that POTUS would want to replace the entrenched bureaucracy. They deeply believe that “decades of experience” outweighs the ballot box. I responded, “Well, why call ourselves a republic then? Why have elections?”
Silence.

ozzytrumpster

You can choose your friends not your relatives

grandmaintexas

I love them. They are wonderful individuals. We pretty much stay away from politics. 😀

kinthenorthwest

Just can’t/don’t understand WHY
Probably never will.

ozzytrumpster

They are brought up to think they are better than you

kinthenorthwest

Come to realize at my 70 years i don’t need much, and I’d never be happy be a super rich slop.

ozzytrumpster

To use Scott Adams words. It’s emotional disconnected. Their beliefs system sees them as better than us. They have to have all the trappings of nobility-wealth,power, immunity from laws that apply to the common herd but deep down , in a very well hidden corner of their little black souls they no it just isn’t so. This induces insecurity and any challenge to their moral, intellectual or political power results in rage and fear.
They is chicken shit we’ll see them for what they truely are

kinthenorthwest

God has been good to me–homeless in 84 and now own my own home…No rich by any means..My yearly income is not even as much as many make on welfare…In fact I think it considered below the poverty limit. However, I have all i need..

ozzytrumpster

Then you are wealthy. Wealth is not having envy

kinthenorthwest

I do count myself wealthy in blessings…..very richly blessed…

kinthenorthwest

I do count myself wealthy in blessings…..very richly blessed…
When I wake I am blessed & thank the Lord, when I realize I am awake & thinking I thank the Lord, & then the final morning thank you is when I am walking, thinking and alive.
At night I feel blessed to have another day in which the Lord has shared with me….

Teagan

Wanna bet Obama never even looked at them nor was aware?

patfrederick

I think this idea was born of Michele’s question–all THIS for a flag?
it then hit an evil genius somewhere how we feel about our flag and how to try to stick it us once again…

kinthenorthwest

I don’t even think he was aware of anything but all the adoration that he felt he was getting.

B.b.S.s.Saint

The lefties prove once again they are just one contradiction after another.

ozzytrumpster

Potus is having a ball. Every time the dems try to assume a semblance of gravitas he makes them make utter fools of themselves. He’s got them to paint themselves into so many really awful policy decisions that Houdini himself couldn’t wiggle free

B.b.S.s.Saint

It is a grand spectacle!

daughnworks247

This morning on FOX: The only living Medal of Honor Recipient from the Iraq War, threw out the first baseball for the Met’s Yankees game. He was invited to the Yankees owner’s box afterwards. Photos were taken. In the background of the owner’s box —– behind the Yankees owner and the Medal of Honor Recipient – a Betsy Ross Flag.
Betsy Ross was an abolitionist.
Learn something new every day.

grandmaintexas

The Founding Fathers were well aware of the slave issue as a future impediment to this nation. Washington felt it so deeply he freed his slaves (after Martha’s death I think his will stipulated). I think he hoped others would follow his lead.

kinthenorthwest

WOW TY All for information

You wrote a poem for kids last year or year before and I was wondering if you might write 1 or 2 for kids on integrity/character, a fun 4th of July one?
Hard to make a fun one about integrity/character . . .
Johnny Tremain was a boy, just fourteen,
Living in Boston and working for pay,
Watching his friends risk both life and limb
In our past, in Revolutionary days.
King George III, ruled our colonies,
And took their money by taxes and fees.
Work there was hard and those taxes were high;
The Patriots rebelled, wanting to be free.
Colonists were forced to buy tax stamps
To get the money to pay Britain’s debts.
Johnny’s friends helped our country rebel
Against British rule and British threats.
Johnny was not such a likeable lad,
Hardworking, yes, but had too much pride.
He thought himself better than others,
But then he changed when his friends died.
Johnny’s friends fought so all could be free,
Giving their lives so others could live.
Johnny learned to think more of others,
Not what he could get, but what he could give.
What Johnny learned is called character,
Though some would call it integrity.
It means to be honest, decent and true,
And think of others, not just of you.
It means to be fair, and be a good friend,
And to help others who are in need.
It means to be gentle, humble and kind
And work hard, yes, and try to succeed.
Now Johnny Tremain wasn’t a real boy;
He’s from a book written by Esther Forbes,
Living in Boston a long time ago,
When America was ruled by British lords.
Though Johnny’s not real, the history’s true,
And what he did could’ve been you or me,
Working and living among patriots,
And watching them die for our liberty.
So we celebrate this 4th of July,
The day we vowed to fight to defend
Our freedom from the rule of others.
We recall, too, Johnny and his friends.

gil00

Great! Kiddo is wearing all America themed clothes head to toe tomorrow, his choice. Doing his big box of party popoers, er “fireworks” which I think he wanted to sleep with, and let me know I get to do all the cooking too. And we will finish reading our Betsy Ross book too…..
Thank you Bakocarl!comment image

Will say this is my favorite “God Bless America” Video
It was back when Hollywood cared about Americans.

kalbokalbs

Great tribute to America by so many icons we grew up with.

kinthenorthwest

Yes so many great Icons…They truly loved America and Americans.

Cuppa Covfefe

Here is a great explanation of The Pledge of Allegiance, a classic by Red Skelton.
This version has the text with it, and subtitles (CC) for those who need them.
Red Skelton was profound with his humor, art, and sketches; he was also a great patriot.
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/redskeltonpledgeofallegiance.htm
And Nike, Krapernick, AOC, the DEMONcRATs, and all of the other Demonc detritus FAKING interest in the proletariat: Watch this, and learn. For you are currently living a lie; a lie spawned by Satan himself.
Learn, Turn, or Burn. Your Choice, Your Eternity….
Choose Wisely, for You Only Have Once…
Here it is on YouTube: (the original conservative account on YouTube has been terminated… 🙁 )

Independence Day
Independence Day is here!
Get out of bed; stand up and cheer!
All up now, it’s well past dawn,
Put the flags out on the lawn.
Roust the kids; wake up each,
Pack the car – we’re off to the beach.
Look for a good shady spot,
So we’ll be cool when it gets hot.
All the kids play in the waves;
It’s so nice when they behave.
Mmm. Those Coney dogs are best;
Think I’ll lean back for a rest.
Now we’ve all had lots of fun
Playing here in sand and sun.
Pack the car, we’re going home,
And then a picnic with Aunt Joan.
Kids playing ball, we’re playing cards,
All comfy in Joan’s backyard.
The sun’s just down, it’s getting dark,
We’ll watch fireworks nearby in the park.
Stars explode and comets leave trails,
Sparklers and fountains with fiery tails.
Little pops, bangs, and great big thumps;
The kids all laugh, but the dog jumps.
One last time, we’re back in the car.
We’ll be home soon, it’s not very far.
Unload the car, all put away,
Home safe now, from a happy day.
All of us, up the stairs we tread,
And get the kids ready for bed.
After our day of sun and sand,
Together now, all holding hands.
We bow our heads and thank the One
Who gave us the sun and sand and fun,
Who gave us our right to be free,
And live our lives in liberty.
The kids are now all safely tucked in,
Us too, and what a day it’s been!
Our country, bar none, is the best,
Since by our God, we’ve all been blest.
May we remember . . .
All our freedoms come from God,
Whether at home or abroad.
He’s our Creator, we owe Him
All we have, both life and limb.
Though we, in life, didn’t seek His face,
He still treats us with mercy and grace.
And though we’ve lived a sinner’s role,
He loves us so, He saved our souls.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
May God continue to bless America!

So very nicely said!

We going to have to watch it together–Looks like all major stations have refused to air it.

B.b.S.s.Saint

It is my understanding that RSBN will be live streaming from Washington, D.C.

kinthenorthwest

that is where I will probably be.

Teagan

PBS and OANN will be broadcasting, as well. Screw the networks! ….they are beyond despicable and hopefully crossed the Red Line with this declaration of anti-Americanism.
In my little residential community (not the town), there is a full display of Americana ….lots of fun events throughout the day, food stations everywhere, a traditional, well-attended flag ceremony, photos of residents who served in the military (in their uniforms back in the day) on TV screens throughout the venue, live music and finally topped off by a truly impressive fireworks when it gets dark tonight.
This is addition to the very popular parade downtown this morning. Yes, at least in this little corner of the South, patriotic pride is alive and well.

B.b.S.s.Saint

Yeah, “merica is alive and well. I am there in spirit!

Chris

” Looks like all major stations have refused to air it. ”
..when you just KNOW it’s gonna be GREAT !!
Happy 4th all

kinthenorthwest

Trump is so right on the parade.

B.b.S.s.Saint

Maybe I am too jaded or learning the brilliance of our VSGPDJT, but I was wondering if this “military parade” is a cover to move military assets into place to deal with the cawball and the congre$$ional members when they are not in session, so a major swamp drain could happen. Just some more wondering as i stare at the sky.

bakocarl

From your lips to God’s ears . . .

suspected (and HOPED) the same thing…didn’t want to say it out loud and jinx it…LOL

daughnworks247

I threw up a thread with all the links to the coverage in DC.
There will be so many fireworks in our neighborhood, it sounds like a war. The Russians would never dare invade Mississippi on July 4th!!!!!!!!

wheatietoo

Chief Border Patrol agent of the Tucson area, dispels the lies of AOC and the media:

kinthenorthwest

This video needs to be retweeted all over the place and shared on FB too.

Teagan

Doing my part…just sent it out to a long list of patriots who will do the same. Go to Heck, AOC! Such a puppet liar.

ladypenquin

I follow you, but can’t remember the handle. Can you give me the link to the tweet, please?

Teagan

It’s a video posted by wheatietoo …look at 00.37 time.

kinthenorthwest

I shared on tweeter and FB

From the article:comment image
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Ahead of Trump’s planned July 4 military parade, several dozen Imperial walkers began to arrive in Washington throughout the week.
The AT-ATs were dropped off by U.S. Space Force Star Destroyers just outside the city and then slowly marched toward the capital (rather than being dropped right next to their target, for some reason). Military bands solemnly played the Imperial March in honor of their arrival. Trump was seen at the White House, pointing excitedly at the looming all-terrain armored transports through an Oval Office window.
[ … ]
Some light Antifa resistance attempted to milkshake the walkers but were crushed.

Linda

I like that last sentence the best. lol

gil00

The left is miserable amd desperately wants company. This is hilarious but I dont think they can lsugh at it.
Lets party anyway!

Wheatie!!!! crackin me up!!🤣🤣

Happy Independence Day America!
Keep Making America Great!
God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
To be livin’ here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
And they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
To the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
And New York to L.A.
Well there’s pride in every American heart,
And its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Dear Bren – the following is being posted without my even looking at it. It is NOT up to me if anything posted here meets my approval, other than that it not be illegal content, doxxing, etc.
I repeat – I have NOT read it. If there is a problem, we will find out after I let you post it. 😉
More seriously, I see no reason for people to NOT post things which change in veracity upon group examination, or which turn out to be photoshops, fakes, frauds, lies, disinformation, etc., as long as the people posting are either (1) intentionally demonstrating the fakeness, (2) uncertain about the fakeness, and submitting it for examination, or (3) innocent of knowing that it was fake. That is precisely how we root out the problems and figure out what is disinformation and what is not.
KNOWINGLY trying to fool people here is a different thing, but even that is extremely useful to me.

PRIVATE MESSAGE TO WOLF (underscores removed, END EDIT)
*****************
I was wondering if you would look at it before posting. I researched as best as I knew how to vet the claims in the article from Free Thought Project. I tried to trace back to the source information. I do not want to include spoof sites or clicks that are not wholesome clicks, especially regarding items 7 & 9. If it passes the Wolf sniff test I would be happy to see it posted. Thanks bren
As a follow up to discussion that occurred under the https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/07/01/discernment-102-seeding-the-clouds-of-smoke-and-mirrors-with-misdirectional-disinformation/ thread regarding not falling for the conspiacy of the day I would like to offer this article and research I did to explore the topics. Sometimes what is considered conspiracy today proves out to be true later on.
This article was posted in my congregation’s weekly newsletter, I dug it up and did some follow-up research on the 10 theories that were offered up.
Day12 of Tevet 4th month of 5778 (Jewish) – Dec 30,2017 (Gregorian)

Top Ten Conspiracy Theories That Turned FACT in 2017
https://thefreethoughtproject.com/ten-conspiracy-theories-were-proven-2017/
by Matt Agorist – 22 Dec 2017
Matt Agorist is an honorably discharged veteran of the USMC and former intelligence operator directly tasked by the NSA. This prior experience gives him unique insight into the world of government corruption and the American police state.
Agorist is also the Editor at Large at http://www.theFreeThoughtProject.com
In 2013, Professor Lance Dehaven Smith—in a peer-reviewed book published by the University of Texas Press—showed that the term “conspiracy theory” was developed by the CIAas a means of undercutting critics of the Warren Commission’s report that President Kennedy was killed by Oswald. The use of this term was heavily promoted in the media by the CIA.And—up until recently—it has served its purpose.
Now, however, in 2017, those who were once called “conspiracy theorists” are being vindicated as they watched instance after instance get exposed all year long. To be clear, we are not talking about outlandish, unprovable, and off the wall theories that completely lack evidence. We are talking about well-researched cases that were deliberately dismissed and ridiculed by the mainstream as a means of oppressing the information and protecting the establishment.
Ironically enough, 2017 is the year the conspiracy theorists were proven right as the mainstream media and government began pushing wild conspiracy theories without evidence to back them up.
To show just how vindicated the well informed are, below is a list of the top 10 conspiracy theories that were proven as real in 2017.
1. Hollywood and the political elite have been exposed for their rampant and horrifying sex abuse against men, women, and children alike.
Just last year, as good people tried to point out that although Pizza gate may not have taken place in some restaurant in DC, the idea of sex abuse among the elite was no laughing matter. However, anyone who mentioned sex abuse among the elite was scoffed at and ridiculed by those in the mainstream.
This ridicule was in spite of the fact that the former speaker of the house admitted to raping multiple little boys and was sentenced to prison last year. This ridicule was also in spite of the fact that whistle blowers have been shouting from the mountain tops about the rampant abuse—for decades—only to have their cries fall on deaf ears.
This year, however, it was different. With Harvey Weinstein as the catalyst, former victims came forward and began publicly naming their abusers and even getting the police involved. The American people also learned that their ostensible representation in D.C. was spending millions to silence the victims of their apparent uncontrollable sex abuse.
No longer will companies like Disney be able to hire convicted pedophiles as the world looks the other way — nor will sicko politicians be allowed the immunity to rape and pillage as they see fit. (My note: 2019 June/July Update: NXIVM case breaks this open even further)
Screen shot of initial duck duck go search:
2. Weather modification just jumped from “chemtrail” conspiracy theory into mainstream reality, as Congress began holding hearings on geoengineering
Geoengineering is finally going mainstream as the U.S. House Subcommittee on Environment and Subcommittee on Energy Hearing, in November, held the first House hearing about the science that until now has generally been considered a “conspiracy theory” and relegated to the fringes of society by the Praetorian Guard mainstream media — controlled by the ruling power-elite oligarchy.
The controversial subject of climate engineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term “chemtrails” – is stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny for the first time.
The congressional hearing, titled “Geoengineering: Innovation, Research, and Technology,” was attended by members of the House committees as well as representatives of think tanks, academics, and researcher scientists to discuss the future of geoengineering research.
Now, those who deny the fact that government is involved in geoengineering will be the conspiracy theorists.

The Free Thought Project links too.
https://thefreethoughtproject.com/geoengineering-goes-mainstream-as-congress-holds-hearing-on-weather-manipulation-tech/
My notes: This article brings in Brennan and the C-A, he liked the idea of stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do.
3. 20,000 documents were released in August proving the EPA conspired with chemical companies to unleash deadly toxic substances on the public
Highly toxic chemical compounds made by Dow, Monsanto, DuPont and other companies were being developed and marketed in ever greater quantities, and federal agencies were rubber-stamping their approval based on fraudulent safety testing.
The Poison Papers https://www.poisonpapers.org/ reveal that, instead of acting to protect the public and reassess the chemicals, EPA held a secret meeting with chemical companies to assure them that their products would continue being sold.
The secret meeting between EPA and chemical companies is the most poignant example of a long history of collusion at the expense of human and environmental health.
My notes:
https://theintercept.com/2017/07/26/chemical-industry-herbicide-poison-papers/
It could be an SJW conclave and cloud seeding C-A/mockingbird set up
https://theintercept.com/about/
Another leftist activist group references the Poison Papers, they are against the current EPA regulation reduction under Sec. Scott Pruitt, by proxy the Presidency of Trump
https://www.classaction.com/news/chemical-industry-poison-papers/
4. US media giant Sally Quinn admitted she practiced the occult to murder people—and she was praised for it
Although her husband Ben Bradlee died in 2014—who was good friends with former President John F. Kennedy, and executive editor of the Washington Post from 1968 to 1991—Quinn has since taken the time to give insight into the glamorous life lived by the media’s royal couple. Some of the practices she describes are ones that would normally be written off as crazy conspiracy theories by outlets such as their beloved Washington Post.
However, Wa Post actually praised it.
In her latest publication titled, “Finding Magic: A Spiritual Memoir,” Quinn reveals that she believes she has killed at least three people in her lifetime. She claims that while she did not harm anyone physically, she believes strongly in the occult, and has used hexes on people who got on her bad side.
Seriously.
My notes:
http://www.thehealthconsciousness.com/satanic-ritual-murder-admitted-elites-washington-dc/
This article references her use of hexes and the recipient people dying
https://www.thecut.com/2017/08/sally-quinn-occult-hexes.html
5. Mainstream media finally admitted the United States has been aiding terrorists in Syria
In November, the BBC released a bombshell report confirming that the US and Syrian Defense Forces knowingly aided thousands of ISIS fighters.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/raqqas_dirty_secret
According to the bombshell BBC report: The BBC has uncovered details of a secret deal that let hundreds of Islamic State fighters and their families escape from Raqqa, under the gaze of the US and British-led coalition and Kurdish led forces who control the city. A convoy included some of IS’s most notorious members and – despite reassurances – dozens of foreign fighters. Some of those have spread out across Syria, even making it as far as Turkey.Then in December, an investigation concluded that 97 percent of the weapons used by the Islamic State were supplied illegally by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.The weapons and ammunition were originally purchased by the United States and Saudi Arabia and then distributed to rebel groups. While the U.S. claimed to be fighting ISIS, the
fact is that ISIS was one of the Syrian rebel groups opposing Assad, and as the report noted, nearly all of their weapons came from those purchased by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
My notes: An independent media outlet is also referencing this BBC investigation
https://taskandpurpose.com/raqqa-isis-fighters-secret-deal
6. The Federal Reserve bank was exposed in June to be a working arm of US Intelligence
Confidential accounts within the Federal Reserve have been used by the U.S. Treasury and other departments “several times a year to analyze the asset holdings of the central banks of Russia, China, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Libya and others,” according to a report from Reuters
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fed-accounts-intelligence-specialrepo-idUSKBN19H198
that cites more than a dozen current and former senior U.S. officials.
The U.S. central bank keeps a tight lid on information contained in these accounts. But according to the officials interviewed by Reuters, U.S. authorities regularly use a ‘need to know’ confidentiality exception in the Fed’s service contracts with foreign central banks.

7. Declassified document proved the conspiracy that the CIA planned and carried out the 1953 Iranian Coup. https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/politics/cia-iran-1953-coup/index.html The newly declassified documents, titled “Foreign Relations of the United States, 1952-1954, Iran, 1951–1954,” provide a notable difference from the State Department’s 1989 version of the coup, which left out any involvement from American and British intelligence.

8. Billionaire elitists openly admit to Ingesting the blood of young children
Once the talk of conspiracy theorists — the rich ingesting the blood of the young to foster longevity — is now a reality and an actual business in the United States https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/this-anti-aging-start-up-is-paying-thousands-of-dollars-for-teen-blood. Not only is it a business but billionaires are actually admitting their interest in it. The Vanity Fair article referenced this study: https://www.cell.com/abstract/S0092-8674(13)00456-X .

9. CIA drug trafficking conspiracy was blown wide open in an explosive History Channel series
A&E Networks addressed the government’s role in the drug war in a four-part documentary series on the History Channel, titled, “America’s War on Drugs.”https://www.history.com/topics/crime/the-war-on-drugs
“America’s War on Drugs” is an immersive trip through the last five decades, uncovering how the CIA, obsessed with keeping America safe in the fight against communism, allied itself with the mafia and foreign drug traffickers. In exchange for support against foreign enemies, the groups were allowed to grow their drug trade in the United States.
My notes; PBS Frontline also carried an article https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/special/cia.html
10. Mainstream science showed Vitamin C’s ability to fight cancer
According to researchers from the University of Iowa, ascorbate, derived from Vitamin C, was successfully observed increasing hydrogen peroxide levels in cancer cells, which in turn had a toxic result with cancer cells, killing the cancer cells in lab rats yet not damaging normal cells in the process. The researchers concluded that Vitamin C might, indeed, be lethal to some cancers. https://now.uiowa.edu/2017/01/why-high-dose-vitamin-c-kills-cancer-cells
According to the scientists, “These results indicate that an in vivo measurement of catalase activity in tumors may predict which cancers will respond to pharmacological ascorbate therapy.” Once the exact cancers are identified, which are killed by vitamin C, the researchers concluded, “this information can also be used in finding combination therapies that may increase the efficacy of treatment for those tumors with higher catalase activities.” In other words, extremely high doses of the Vitamin C derivative may potentially be added to conventional cancer therapies to help kill more cancer cells.

Interesting post, isn’t it. Molten lead & barbed wire, anyone, anyone at all.

Tonawanda

It is my fault, but you misunderstood. No reader ought to have been expected to understand the context, and again that is my fault. I got carried away by my strong feelings at the moment.
My statement was made in the context of Wolf’s particular response to a particular statement. And that interchange was made in an ever bigger context which went beyond that particular thread.
And what I said was an expression of two very strong personal feelings/concerns.
First, it’s just a personal peculiarity of mine, but I really despise it when people suggest using sadistic violence against other people. That’s just me. And I make a couple of assumptions, fair or not, about people who casually suggest the use of sadistic violence against others. I assume they are assholes, and I assume they have sadistic violence in their hearts. When they suggest sadistic violence against someone I respect, multiply my feelings.
Oh yes, I know it is a joke. Ha, ha. Maybe I should lighten up.
Second, this is a free speech site. Thank God. Personally, I want this site to exist. I do not want TPTB to concoct a phony reason to shut it down. I have not the faintest idea the exact process or standard TPTB use in deciding when or how to shut a site down, but I do understand that “violence,” phony or not, is one excuse.
It is not an easy issue because of the free speech considerations. But just because we can do it, does not mean we should do it. Poster A Fortiori had a great post expressing this idea, an idea which people should not only like, but (IMO) should actually follow, if they are able to understand it.
I just think it is prudent not to tempt TPTB with respect to expressions of stark, sadistic violence. Yes, that is self-censorship, and Wolf in my experience has NEVER said do not do that. He has made clear the simple rules: no illegality, and you take your chances.
I agreed 100% with Wolf’s analysis of the chemtrail issue, and the three possibilities Wolf suggested were very broad and covered a lot of territory, respectful to all.
When Wolf suggested a very mature, non-condescending, gracious manner of discussing chemtrails – one that was not insulting to others – my immediate smartass response was contrary to what I feel and believe, and it was meant as a “joke.” By using the despicable image of sadistic violence, I was (clumsily) trying to convey ironically that Wolf’s creative and brilliant suggestion of graciousness (“ask me about”) was one I liked, preferable to responding to people either with condescension, or suggestions of sadistic violence.
But I only succeeded in making myself look bad, alas.

bakocarl

“I assume they are assholes” . . . yeah, me too . . . and in broader categories than just sadistic violence.

ladypenquin

Not sure what all of this is about, sometimes 🐧 gets lost – but I believe similarly about what we say – which might be “sadistic violence” or vulgarity. Had an experience yesterday, OT, where I rarely comment, but occasionally engage if I’ve been reading, (looking for Ristvan’s sage legal inputs).
Poster “ilcon” made, IMO, some vile remarks involving people from our side (Sen Lindsey Graham), along with expressing anger towards DJT for not getting things done – citizenship question/immigration issues thread. Anyway, I called him on it, and he tried to rebut by focusing on his points, ignoring the cursing he engaged in. Landed up calling him a troll. I don’t think it looks good for CTH – and it certainly isn’t helpful to be attacking our own side. POTUS works with what he has – and right now Lindsey and McConnell are doing more than we’ve seen them do for years – though it’s good to remember that McConnell would not give Obama another SCOTUS pick, and in fact, left many other judgeship slots unfilled for Obama’s last 6 years, going all the way back to 2010 when we took the Senate.
Those slots are being filled fairly quickly (considering DC’s typical slow motion) today.
Those judges getting placed in the Courts will do more to repair the dismantling of our Constitution and our country, than we can expect with just having DJT in office.

Tonawanda

I voluntarily left cold turkey OT, one step ahead of the banning, and the sheer repetitive nastiness was one reason.
Like the Founders said, we gave you a Republic, see if you can keep it. Same for sites.
If I kept my collection of R. Crumb and assorted other “underground” comix from the 70’s instead of giving them away, I might be a millionaire today. Hell, I just wish I kept one Big Ass Comix so I could get a good laugh today, although the Thought Police would probably have me arrested for Misogyny in the First Degree.
But OT IMO became a mess in the comments, and detracted from the brilliant analysis.

ladypenquin

Oh, I agree., and rarely do I say anything – but I do look for Ristvan’s input… and ilcon’s remarks were particularly nasty – towards our people. Worse than debby downers. Not a nice look for CTH – I don’t mind because it’s their loss.

Cuppa Covfefe

Just out of curiosity, what did the avatar look like? I remember the “balrog” (super-troll) that doxxed SD also had a hideous avatar… and an odd handle…

ladypenquin

His avatar is just a silhouette of a person. I admit to being surprised that they’re allowing such nastiness. But that’s been the general trend for some time.

Aubergine

I followed along at least part of this discussion yesterday, and I think the “controversy” went mostly right over my head, as usual.
I think this happens with me because I have a “policy” when reading/evaluating other’s posts and opinions. I always assume “good intentions,” because I “trust” the people Wolfmoon allows to be here. If you were a “bad guy,” I don’t think I would be reading a comment from you here.
Assuming good intentions from people puts a completely different light on what they mean to say. It helps me to recognize sarcasm and/or jokes. It also causes me to think more carefully before I respond. I think part of the problem with liberals is they always assume the worst, so they are constantly “triggered” by things that don’t mean what they think they mean.

I love reading all the opinions here, yours included. There is never a day when I don’t learn something.
I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July!

Tonawanda

Going out to work on the deck in a few! Happy 4th to you, also.

I completely understand when there is an inability to have the brain override the body’s basic desire to choke the living sh&%t out of someone we feel richly deserves it. You have just basically hit on a subject which I have, personally, lived out in my life.
When I was younger I had people that paid me to do exactly those violent things you refer to. Everything I did was justified by me essentially being on the ‘ right’ side. Nothing I did went beyond the scope of living within the law, I, assumed that because when I got in over my head, the guys that came, came to back ME up,complete with all the legal cover that would be needed to keep me from suffering any consequences of not just my actions, but any course I decided to take. What my job was it was, violent at times, but spread out by immense periods of boredom & routine. The time I did let my guard down, it cost me, dearly. All this on top of the adrenaline rush when it got dicey, tuned me into a maniac in my personal life, my ego & the picture I presented to others. to put it simply, I was mean, really mean.
When you liver day to day under these circumstances, you handle it with the best coping skill readily available to you, usually resulting in macabre humor

Tonawanda

I spent many years looking at the sort of life you describe, but from a different perspective. I got to know it.
And I still deal with it in a personal way.
I would go so far as to say I think I know exactly what you are saying, and respect what you are saying.

________________________
I get you Tonawanda, many times my attempt at humor or a comment I make is taken out of context. I did not know the entire context of your comment. My apologies if my words added to your feeling of looking bad. Do I read you right in saying that TPTB will go to any, sadistic if necessary, length to “educate or indoctrinate” to bring correct thinking a person they view as an unrepentant rebel. Then based on that stae of them being an asshole, you want to respond back with greater force? I’m right behind you on that one. Sometimes the headiness of discussion here at QTree can go over my sleeping brain cells. I have to read, reread, step back, and reread again to gain full understanding. This place is the best and you are among the many treepers I like to sit on a branch and listen too.
Have a blessed and happy Independence Day! May the fire from the sky rain down and obliterate the kingdom of darkness while the loving canines are saved to wag another day.

No, no, no, you did not contribute to my looking bad. That was 100% me!

I’m going to jump in here un-invited, and not completely up-to-speed with whatever……
One of the biggest problems I see with blogs in general.. is it extremely difficult in most circumstances to to read a typed comment and understand whatever emotion is attached to it.
If everyone would use {sar} or /s or emojis or just flat say……I’m not serious here, or I’m speculating….etc….
THAT could/would improve/solve some potential misunderstandings.
Anyone could make a simple statement about “nothing” i.e. somebody’s hat…….I could turn that from a joke to an insult, just based on the “tone” of my words…….but with blogs….we cannot hear those tones, or see those facial expressions.
Just a thought……….{sarc-not sarc}

I no longer liver, I now just live. I accidentally hit send too quick, so, I’ll finish. I was much younger then & much less experienced with the way others think.
My goal was to always to be just, but as I reasoned, I don’t have any motivation to care how it effects others, This is where the flaw comes in. I wasn’t afraid to hurt people & at times, draw pleasure from it.
I am no longer that person, but, every once in awhile, that person comes out to ‘play’.
This post is meant as an explanation, not an excuse, I am what I am,not yet perfect, but I am tryin’.

While I believe that AD Barr is a good guy, I am distressed that he uses the phrase ‘ideals of democracy’ in his message. The last thing we need is the ideals of democracy being implemented across the country. California is almost a complete democracy right now and it’s as bad as any third world shithole country.
Plus I have no doubt that the reason the constitutional convention took so long is that the Framers were determined to make sure that it EASN’T a democracy in any way.
I have an irrational hatred for that word. Or maybe it’s rational.

Star Spangled Banner As You’ve Never Heard It

B.b.S.s.Saint

This gives me the chills and brings tears to my eyes every time i watch it. Then I get pissed about the idea of anyone wanting to burn the flag! This should be required watching in every classroom at least once a year, if not monthly!

michaelh

By the terms of the British, the attack would cease the instant the Americans lowered their flag. The British would accept the surrender and they would fall under British rule.
If they had lowered the flag or let it fall to the ground the battle would be lost.
The cannons hit the flag multiple times and knocked it down. Patriots in the fort, knowing that it would be certain death, grabbed ahold of the flagpole and held it in place. When they died, their bodies would be removed and others would come take their place, keeping the flag hoisted.

Linda K Harrison

Thank you Katie and MichaelH for posting and reposting this. I grew up in Maryland and our elementary school took a field trip to Fort McHenry. It was awesome. I wish the school system still taught this in the schools today. It should also be part of the immigration process. We would have better patriots.

Wow! Have never heard this story with such detail. Awesome story, added meaning to the specific words so elegantly linked.
So very, very proud to be an American! And, always, thankful for those who fought for America. Blessed the earliest Patriots were so dedicated to Freedom, that America survived its perilous creation.
Thanks for posting Michael! (Missed it when Katie posted. Thanks Katie!!!)

A Warriors Pledge
President Ronald Reagan
January 20, 1980
Ronald Regan Patriotic Speech

If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.
…Those who say that we’re in a time when there are not heroes, they just don’t know where to look…
…the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom.
Each one of those markers is a monument to the kind of hero I spoke of earlier. Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno, and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.
Under one such marker lies a young man, Martin Treptow, who left his job in a small town barbershop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire.
We’re told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, “My Pledge,” he had written these words: “America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.”
…we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors.
…As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever.
…We are Americans.

Chris

Amen.

Reagan – Peace this Second if we Surrender

Reagan: “We can have peace this second, if we surrender.”
https://criticalpolitics.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/reagan-we-can-have-peace-this-second-if-we-surrender/

“Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum. And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.” Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits–not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”

A sad loss for truth in science and honesty and skepticism about the climate and the processes behind it (and the farces making money off of it). Also a great loss for honest journalism.
An interesting quote from that article, that could well apply to libeals:

Groupthink was a term coined in the Sixties by a Yale psychology professor Irving Janis. Booker brought it up to date by taking in the climate change scare.
He wrote:

What Janis did was to define scientifically just how what he called groupthink operates, according to three basic rules. And what my paper tries to show is the astonishing degree to which they explain so much that many have long found puzzling about the global warming story.
Janis’s first rule is that a group of people come to share a particular way of looking at the world which may seem hugely important to them but which turns out not to have been based on looking properly at all the evidence. It is therefore just a shared, untested belief.
Rule two is that, because they have shut their minds to any evidence which might contradict their belief, they like to insist that it is supported by a “consensus”. The one thing those caught up in groupthink cannot tolerate is that anyone should question it.
This leads on to the third rule, which is that they cannot properly debate the matter with those who disagree with their belief. Anyone holding a contrary view must simply be ignored, ridiculed and dismissed as not worth listening to.

Gudthots

Worthy to repeat that … in our group … often. 😉

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” – John Adams in a letter to his wife, Abigail, July 3, 1776
July 2, 1776 – Congress ended debate and approved this resolution brought by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia and seconded by Adams: “Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”
July 3, 1776 – Adams wrote to his wife in jubilation.
July 4, 1776 – After Jefferson incorporated changes into the draft of the Declaration, the delegates debated and finally adopted it on this day.
“The Declaration of Independence was not signed by any of the delegates until early August, after being engrossed on parchment by Timothy Matlack, a Philadelphia beer bottler who had fine penmanship. Most delegates gathered to sign the parchment copy on August 10, but a few others signed it later. Eventually, 56 delegates would put their names on it.” https://prologue.blogs.archives.gov/2014/07/02/john-adams-vision-of-july-4-was-july-2/

Americans, you know the 56 men who signed our Declaration of Independence that first 4th of July–you know they were risking everything, don’t you? Because if they won the war with the British, there would be years of hardship as a struggling nation. If they lost they would face a hangman’s noose. And yet there where it says, ‘We herewith pledge, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor,’ they did sign. But did you know that they paid the price?

Re the census, has anyone heard of the American Community Survey?
I only found out by chance just now.
I started on The_Donald’s thread about the census question on citizenship:
*https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/c8uvq2/its_happening_boys/esrauax/
‘There is NO reason not to ask this question. Go look at the 2000, 1990, 1980 census and 1900 questions. This isn’t new. They ask about citizenship status. Acting like this is some upheaval is just a show. It’s on the ones in between too.
‘1900 Census:
What was the person’s place of birth?
What was the person’s father’s place of birth?
What was the person’s mother’s place of birth?
What year did the person immigrate to the United States?
How many years has the person been in the United States?

You can see how the citizenship question changed over time via the population question links in the left hand column of the census.gov site.
For 2010 (Obama), there is the following:
https://www.census.gov/history/www/through_the_decades/index_of_questions/2010.html
‘For the 2010 census, the long- and short-form questionnaires used from 1940 to 2000 were replaced by a single questionnaire asking 10 questions. The questions asked by the long-form questionnaire are now asked by the annual American Community Survey.
‘The 2010 census asked the following ten questions:
How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010?
Were there any additional people staying here April 1, 2010 that you did not include in Question 1?
Is this house, apartment, or mobile home: owned with mortgage, owned without mortgage, rented, occupied without rent?
What is your telephone number?
Please provide information for each person living here. Start with a person here who owns or rents this house, apartment, or mobile home. If the owner or renter lives somewhere else, start with any adult living here. This will be Person 1. What is Person 1’s name?
What is Person 1’s sex?
What is Person 1’s age and Date of Birth?
Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin?
What is Person 1’s race?
Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else?’
Here’s the link to the American Community Survey (excerpt follows):
https://www.census.gov/history/www/programs/demographic/american_community_survey.html
‘The nationwide American Community Survey (ACS) is a critical element of the Census Bureau’s reengineered decennial census program. During previous decennial censuses, most households received a short-form questionnaire, while one household in six received a long form that contained additional questions and provided more detailed socioeconomic information about the population.
‘The 2010 Census will be a short-form only census and will count all residents living in the United States as well as ask for name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, relationship and housing tenure – taking just minutes to complete.
‘The more detailed socioeconomic information once collected via the long-form questionnaire is now collected by the American Community Survey. The survey provides current data about all communities every year, rather than once every 10 years. It is sent to a small percentage of the population on a rotating basis throughout the decade. No household will receive the survey more often than once every five years.’

WTH is wrong with people?
The left thrives on hate and misery. .Despite what the dems and the suck-up, colluding media think, most American citizens are normal. And love this country.
Butthead, like the rest of the anti-American dem prez candidates, are pandering to a far-left base.

churchmouse

It’s sickening.

pgroup

What is really sickening is that public health depts do nothing to protect us from these mentally disturbed people. They are allowed to raom the land with impunity and immunity. Some of them are even allowed to pretend to run for POTUS, when their real purpose is to get millions in donations and then drop out which allows them to personally keep the donations with no restrictions.
Clever way to get filthy rich while enjoying the fleecing of gullible people.

kyblue

Didnt the ACLU play a big role in allowing the mentally ill to roam free? Won a decision with the argument confining the mentally ill was a violation of their civil rights?
As for ‘some’ who are allowed pretend to run for POTUS, I’m thinking most all of them are a few bricks shy of a load. A sad testament to the state of this country’s lunatic left.

churchmouse

There is definitely a public mental health problem that has been largely overlooked, dating back nearly 30 years. We have the same situation in the UK.
Whether the US has a mentally disturbed candidate or elected public official at this point is unclear.
That said, I am most concerned about the time when a Western nation will countenance — and force others to approve of — a mentally ill candidate for political office.

It would be interesting to know the back story of how his father emigrated to the US. Malta isn’t exactly oppressive.

michaelh

It has nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson. It has everything to do with an assault of America’s past and history.
No one believes that Jefferson was a perfect man – his faults are well known.
He was however a man of remarkable achievement, who was used at key junctures in American history.
Jefferson’s story is the story of great man who lived in great times. Jefferson is inseparable from the American story – to remove him is to destroy American history.
For precisely that reason they have to attack his legacy and destroy his memory.
The KOM will not rest until every bit of history, every great story, every noble act, every stirring patriotic account of history is destroyed, tarred, forgotten, burned, vandalized, defecated upon, ransacked, trodden under, and buried.
The KOM cannot stand any act of American VIRTUE, GOODNESS, NOBILITY, TRUTH, SACRIFICE, BEAUTY, or VALOR to ever be recounted. The narrative they believe, their worldview, is that all human problems stem from America being America, “capitalist” (free market), Christian, Protestant, “white”, and masculine. Virtuous men are the enemy of the KOM because all KOM fundamentally requires that men be vice ridden to be susceptible for recruitment and for the cult-like mind control to lock them in. Anything that challenges that worldview, anything that challenges their lock on human minds, has to be attacked and destroyed. KOM ideology is a very jealous god that cannot bear to tolerate rivals. For the KOM, there can be no good or great men apart from KOM.
If you want to fight back, the most subsersive, counter-KOM, fingernails on chalkboard thing you can do: Speak up boldly, and openly, literally and figuratively, and tell the stories of goodness and virtue from our past. Tell the truth about men like Jefferson. Do not worry about offending others – the KOM do not have a right to not be offended, and the KOM do not have the right to define for all society which things are offensive and which are not. The milkshake throwing crowd has no claim to moral legitimacy, and men of character must stand boldly and with courage in the face of their reckless cowardice.

churchmouse

FTA. Mark Meadows is on the case:
https://reason.com/2019/07/03/defense-department-computers-among-top-sharers-of-child-pornography/
‘Last year, an investigation by the National Criminal Justice Training Program found DOD computers were among the top networks nationwide for peer-to-peer sharing of pornographic images of minors. DOD’s network ranked 19th out of 2,891 computer networks studied.
‘To prevent such widespread abuse going forward, the “End National Defense Network Abuse Act” would “crack down on this activity by upgrading the training and technical capacity of military criminal investigative organizations to confront the misuse of DoD computers, facilities, and equipment,” according to a press release. It would also arrange for DOD authorities to work more closely with civilian law enforcement on these cases.
‘”The notion that the Department of Defense’s network and Pentagon-issued computers may be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and one we must fight head on,” said Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D–Va.), who co-sponsored the bill with Rep. Mark Meadows (R–N.C.).
‘A companion bill in the senate has been introduced by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R–Alaska) and Brian Schatz (D–Hawaii).’

July 4th Celebration in Washington, DC.

patfrederick

so before I forget…Mueller day–the 17th–you’re putting up a thread–BUT that’s also a rally day for POTUS–another thread for that one?? (not to push–but you have awesome running commentary on threads!

ladypenquin

My hubby, Southern fellow, remarked this morning that he could see this day coming – the one where the Left would go after the American flag… Why? Because they came for the Confederate flag – which WAS ABOUT celebrating Southern heritage, not racism.
I note that one could trace this back as soon as they forced the end of celebrating “Columbus Day” and turned it into “Indigenous Peoples Day.”
They’re trying to make this about DJT, “Orange Man Bad” but it’s important not to fall for that rationalization – they’d be doing this with any GOP President. This is how much damage Obama did in his “fundamental transformation.”
The “Resist” isn’t about POTUS, it’s remains about turning the U.S. into a version of the EU, complete with globalists running the country.
Just something to keep in mind, along with believing that there are more Patriots than commies/fascists in this country. And, as they say, we have the guns. 🙂

Well said.
I’ll add that somewhere along the way, they changed the holiday to “4th of July” instead of “Independence Day”. Can’t have people being reminded of independence.
As my father used to correct me, we don’t say “Happy December 25th” – we say “Merry Christmas”.
So on this July 4th, remember to celebrate the birth of the United States of America…

Charlottesville has been taken over by the commies who took over the historic university. Taking over higher education is how the Left took control. Gonna take some mighty serious moves to take the country back. Given enough time, POTUS should be able to get enough good Justices in place to undo a lot of what the Lefties were able to obtain in the Courts – because they sure couldn’t get it passed in Congress!

michaelh

Just defund the Universities. Tie their funding to being not commie, with required measurable actions and enforcement for non-compliance.

Right! American taxpayers should not be funding their own demise.

I agree. No money, no subversion.

daughnworks247

Interesting. I’m reading the Declaration of Independence this morning (thanks Steve in Co). Funny how the Communist left, the Obama lackeys and Marxist professors believe the USA is somehow a “colonialist oppressor” – yet we were the ones to throw off King George and declare our independence, fought a war over it, LONG BEFORE the smaller countries in Africa rid themselves of European rulers.
We were WAY ahead of Kenya and Tanzania.

Dimms never let hypocrisy and lies get in the way of a good narrative.

For those today who are still reading political stuff, here is a column by Ann. PLEASE overlook the fact that it is Ann, and overlook the implicit attitude toward Trump.
The important thing here is her analysis of the Republican’s assessment of Kobach.
One of the most maddening and infuriating aspects of the current situation is the Republican’s almost complete non-support for the President. Dobbs refers to it every night, but no one else, and Trump is too smart and gracious to mention it.
This column, indirectly, gives reasons why:
https://www.takimag.com/article/the-swamp-in-action/

Tonawanda

Ann and Drudge have something weird going on in their minds. What it is exactly and exactly how it got there, I don’t know. But it is a weird disconnect.
How does Ann write a column perfectly analyzing how the Republicans (in their assessment of Kobach) adopted the dreary propaganda of the left in defiance of the election results a couple months before, and simultaneously act as an agent against the President?
Absolutely a Patton slap. She is in some sort of dream world.

Kingdom Citizenship
JULY 04, 2019
Matthew 25:31-46
https://www.intouch.org/read/magazine/daily-devotions/kingdom-citizenship#
This month most Americans are celebrating the founding of our country. Flags are flying, families are gathering, and fireworks fill the night sky. We do this to show appreciation for our American citizenship and to honor those who sacrificed to provide our freedoms. However, there is a citizenship that transcends all national boundaries.
No matter where you live right now, if you believe in Christ, then you and I are fellow citizens of the kingdom of God. The word kingdom denotes royal power or dominion over a specific region or people. Therefore, the kingdom of God refers to the Lord’s complete rule and authority. While He certainly reigns in the hearts of His devoted followers here on earth, we must not forget the term also refers to His sovereignty in heaven.
Jesus is currently seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven, but today’s passage points to a time when He will return to earth to sit on His glorious throne and reign over the entire world. He will vanquish all His enemies, remove the wicked from the earth, and welcome the righteous into His glorious kingdom. And as kingdom citizens, you and I will rule together with Him (Revelation 3:21 He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne).
Certainly nations and nationalities are important, but they are not eternal. All those who belong to Christ are first and foremost citizens of His kingdom. This means that all the geographical borders and barriers that separate us have been removed in Christ, and we are all one in Him. When we worship, we should see one another as fellow citizens in God’s realm.

TIME TO RE-POST THE REAL NITTY GRITTY ABOUT THE BUSHES:
Bush I, II and Jeb are globalists. Open borders, run USA into the ground in as many ways as possible globalists.
Bush spoke up during Barry’s tenure all right but it wasn’t to defend and protect the Constitution, the USA or it’s citizen/workers/taxpayers. Oh no!
“President Bush broke his self-imposed silence in January 2011, in a speech at Southern Methodist University. The only problem was, he wasn’t attacking Obama, but conservatives. Addressing the immigration debate, he said: “(I)f you study history, there are some ‘isms’ that occasionally pop up … One is isolationism and its evil twin protectionism and its evil triplet nativism.”
GWB speaking out in 2011, told us who he really is and who all the Bushes are.
LINK – http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/george-w-to-the-rescue/
——–
The Bushes are not patriot, nationalist, protectionist, Tea Party conservatives – They are globalist, open borders, unlimited immigration and they approve the infestation of Islam into the USA.
It was GWB who told us the BIG LIES – “Islam is the religion of peace” and “We are not at war with Islam.”
The Bushes are as much responsible for the four decades of fundamental (destructive) change to our country as Barack Obama. Obama has only escalated what the Bushes began.
“Today, after four decades of rampant visa dispensations, reports document sustained compression to our nation’s middle class; real average hourly wages are lower today than they were in 1973; all net job creation among working-age people went to foreign workers from 2000-2014; the number of struggling Americans forced to rely on welfare has reached a record high; overcrowded schools, which are now majority-minority, have struggled to accommodate the growing number of students that qualify for reduced lunch programs and require English language instruction; an influx of a diverse student body with fewer English speakers has sent U.S. test scores plummeting; and the importation of criminal organizations has negatively impacted the safety of what are now gang-besieged communities.”
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2015/10/paul-ryan-doesn-believe-in-borders-or.html

The Bushes were/are Fabian (closet) socialists….and early fans of National Socialists of Germany.
They were part of the Plot of 1933.

Jeb was one of the typical politicians who went to Wall Street to make millions sitting on the boards of various big banks, etc. to help cover for criminal activities.

The Bushes are SATANISTS…..

Jeb was just the STUPID heir to the throne (or so he thought).

kalbokalbs

^^^ Perfectly stated.

NebraskaFilly

Not to mention the Shrub having Bin Laden’s brother as a business partner…..

NebraskaFilly

“President Bush and the bin Laden family have been connected through dubious business deals since 1977, when Salem, the head of the bin Laden family business, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, invested in Bush’s start-up oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc.
James R. Bath, a friend and neighbor, was used to funnel money from Osama bin Laden’s brother, Salem bin Laden, to set up George W. Bush in the oil business, according to The Wall Street Journal and other reputable sources.
Through a tangled web of Saudi multi-millionaires, Texas oilmen, and the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Bush was financially linked with the bin Laden family until Salem met an untimely end in a freak flying accident near San Antonio in 1988.
The infamous BCCI was shut down in 1991 with some $10 billion in losses.”
http://www.mafhoum.com/press2/65Safp.htm
And then there is this, which may be true or it may not. IMO, the young man in the pic they claim is a young GHWB doesn’t look much like him so……I am 50/50 on this one:
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_bush19.htm

Cuppa Covfefe

The Bushes were/are Skull and Bones, starting with Prescott Bush, GHW’s father, who helped finance the NAZIs. They had plenty of ties to the Euro globalists, without having to conjure another one. It’s the same sort of thing as saying Merde-Kuh is Hitler’s daughter – just doesn’t work, she’s too young. Ideologically, perhaps, as she and her supposed pastor father were both in the party. No way either of them could have gotten degrees without being in the party…

Who Was Paul Revere and Why Should You Care?

“Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.”
Have you ever heard that thrilling line? Do you even know who Paul Revere is?
If you’re under, say, 30, I’m going to guess that the answer to both of these questions might be no.
This is a very serious problem, but it’s not your fault. It’s a serious problem because it means you have been cut off from one of our greatest American stories.
And it’s not your fault because no one bothered to teach you about this courageous man and the great American poet who made him famous. It seems professional educators decided that other topics were more important to your education.
But they made a mistake. A big one.
The story of Paul Revere is part of our heritage. It, and countless other stories like it, unite us as a distinct people with a shared noble past. They also inspire us and stir national pride. These are good things, vital to the future of the country. Without them, we’re just 300 million different individuals living between Canada and Mexico.
It wasn’t always this way. In fact, not long ago you couldn’t have left high school without memorizing the line I quoted and many of the lines that follow.
So let me right a wrong and tell you about two remarkable Americans who lived half a century apart – one a silversmith, and one a poet.
Paul Revere and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
By 1775, the American colonists and their British masters were on the verge of war. The flashpoint was Boston. It wasn’t so much a matter of where the British would strike, but when. To give themselves some advance warning, the rebels created a team of couriers. One of them was a successful forty-year-old silversmith and engraver named Paul Revere.
On the night of April 18, two lanterns were lit in the tallest structure in the city, the Old North Church. This was the signal that the fateful moment had arrived. The British were coming. Revere rode out into the darkness to warn his compatriots to prepare for a fight. That fight came the next day in Lexington. The War of American Independence had begun.
But in the decades following, history mostly forgot Paul Revere. After serving in the war, he had an extraordinary career as an early industrialist, building a significant business that survives to this day as Revere Copper.
But when he died in 1818, his obituary made no mention of his daring ride. The only reason we still know of him is because of another crisis in American history – the Civil War.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had been an ardent opponent of slavery, an abolitionist, from the time he was a young man. By 1860, he was America’s most famous poet. An epic struggle was coming, one that would again determine the future of the nation. He anxiously wondered whether the people of the Northern states would be up to the challenge that lay ahead. What might he do to inspire them?
Longfellow remembered a story he had read many years before about Revere’s ride. He recreated it with consummate skill. As you read his glorious poem, you can almost hear the thundering hooves of the silversmith’s horse. Published in a new magazine called the Atlantic Monthly in January 1861, his brilliant ballad was an immediate success.
Schoolchildren began memorizing and reciting it at annual Independence Day celebrations. In 1883, a twenty-two-year-old sculptor, Cyrus Dallin, was commissioned to create a Paul Revere statue to stand in the plaza across from the Old North Church. It is still one of the most popular tourist sites in Boston.
What is Longfellow’s poem asking of us who hear it today? It is doing what all great art does: it calls us to think of ourselves as part of something larger—as part of something noble, beautiful, good, and true. The men like Paul Revere who fought in the American Revolution were not merely fighting for themselves and for their families, but for something far beyond that – for a new kind of nation. The men who fought to free the slaves in the Civil War renewed that promise.
If we forget these brave men, we forget what they stood for, and therefore we will forget what America means. And, just like an individual who has lost his memory no longer knows who he is, a nation or a people that loses its memory no longer knows who they are.
Longfellow’s poem reminds us.
So, go read Paul Revere’s Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I promise, you’ll be glad you did.
It begins like this:
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.”
I’m Eric Metaxas, author of “If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty,” for Prager University.

para59r

Of other riders two more were sort of known and one actually had a poem written of him too.
The Midnight Ride of William Dawes
I am a wandering, bitter shade,
Never of me was a hero made;
Poets have never sung my praise,
Nobody crowned my brow with bays;
And if you ask me the fatal cause,
I answer only, “My name was Dawes”
‘Tis all very well for the children to hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere;
But why should my name be quite forgot,
Who rode as boldly and well, God wot?
Why should I ask? The reason is clear —
My name was Dawes and his Revere.
When the lights from the old North Church flashed out,
Paul Revere was waiting about,
But I was already on my way.
The shadows of night fell cold and gray
As I rode, with never a break or a pause;
But what was the use, when my name was Dawes!
History rings with his silvery name;
Closed to me are the portals of fame.
Had he been Dawes and I Revere,
No one had heard of him, I fear.
No one has heard of me because
He was Revere and I was Dawes.
-1896 Helen F. Moore wrote this as a parody to Longfellows account.
The other guy, Dr. Samuel Prescott, a member of the Sons of Liberty, was coming home very late at night after visiting with a lady friend and joined Paul and William. Of the three he may of been the most successful (perhaps because of his nocturnal pursuits?) as when the British stopped the three he was the most ablest at getting away. There were others, but I only ever learned of these three when in school.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton withdrew from the cybersecurity conference where she was scheduled to be the keynote speaker, citing an “unforeseen circumstance,” according to an email from the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit.
Clinton — who infamously transmitted classified information over a homemade server once housed in her bathroom — was the centerpiece of the October 9-10 summit in Washington, where Clinton was to have “engage[d] in a Q&A discussion with FireEye CEO, Kevin Mandia on the geopolitical landscape and its implications for global cyber security today.”

The Stars and Stripes Forever – With Lyrics
The United States Army Field Band

Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears ‘mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom’s shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with might endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

I get chills watching this every time the chorus starts singing! (And usually the piccolos are my favorite part!)
Stars and Stripes forever is always best by military bands. Look at the conductor – he’s having a blast!
* Military conductors do it BY THE BOOK. They follow the score as written, and do not put in their own emphasis, flourish, or change the tempo to suit their tastes. Huge pet peeves of mine when the conductor tries to rewrite the score.
* When the piece is finished, they finish it with class and style. No showboating or baiting for applause.
* A male piccolo player wearing an army dress uniform isn’t sissy since he’s fully qualified in combat and weapon operations. If you laugh at him he knows a thousand ways to kill you.

FTA;
BEAVERTON, OR—Nike has released a new patriotic shoe just in time for the Fourth of July: the Sanders Air Marx, the official, signature shoe of Senator Bernie Sanders.
Every pair of Air Marx is emblazoned with Sanders’ signature and iconic “crazy old man” silhouette. The shoes pack in all kinds of useful features for people living in a socialist regime, including the following:
New ActiveShrink technology helps the shoe shrink right along with you as you wither away from starvation
Breadline Padding Plus helps you stand in breadlines for hours hoping the government is generous enough to give you some food
A Venezuelan flag, or optional Soviet Russian flag, to show your true patriotism
A patented air pump that helps you pump up your wheelbarrow tire as you slave away farming food for the government to redistribute
Comfy and aerodynamic design that helps you chase zoo animals more effectively
The shoes are completely edible and can be boiled into soup or gruel in a pinch
The shoes are not available for purchase but will be given from Nike according to their ability to each customer according to their needs.
“I’m happy to team up with Nike to release this shoe,” said Sanders. “I will make millions of dollars off this deal, which is not hypocritical because it’s me and not you.”
The Sanders Air Marx is only available in one size, as Sanders remarked: “who needs a choice of shoe size when there are starving children in the world?

“Let me be frank. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez — someone needs to tell her that the voices in her head are not real,” Kennedy said Tuesday during an interview with local news station KSLA News 12. “She says that the men and women of our Border Patrol and our authorities are intentionally running concentration camps on the southern border.”
“The Department of Homeland Security is out of money, and the congresswoman knows that. She says the conditions are inhumane. But yet when we send a bill over to her to vote to improve those conditions, she voted no. Her hypocrisy is breathtaking,” Kennedy added, calling the situation “a problem that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has helped create.”

Deplorable Patriot

A very liberal former co-worker (social worker, too) posted this on FB. We’ve been saying this forever, and suddenly it’s appearing in a MSM/MCM outlet.
Something is in the wind.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/06/25/paper-ballots-hackproof-bring-them-back-glenn-reynoldscolumn/416652001/?fbclid=IwAR01S60aal5dMNPlmcDbOMAawDIiDTusZ_hXm7zxbSL1h7WA7Qg80YpbvvE
Paper ballots are hack-proof. It’s time to bring them back.
The move to paperless voting started in response to the Florida “hanging chad” fiasco in the 2000 presidential election. Some people (like me) thought this was a mistake, but such concerns were often dismissed. Now, apparently, you can’t be paranoid enough. As Politico’s Bob King noted, while 10 years ago critics of paperless voting were called paranoid, now both parties are worried.
It remains true that there is no actual evidence that a single vote was changed by hackers in the 2016 election. But even the possibility of hacking has served to promote the sort of conspiracy-mongering and political hatred that led to, for example, the shooting attack on Republican lawmakers last week. In a democratic polity, people have to believe that their votes are counted honestly, or the legitimacy of the system collapses.
And if we are to believe the latest NSA leaks on the subject, Russian (and other) hackers have been interested in American voting systems for a while, and that interest — contrary to Obama Administration assurances — didn’t decline after Obama made a “red phone” call to the Kremlin. (Perhaps even more troubling, many cyberattacks on state voting systems came from Department of Homeland Security computers.

NebraskaFilly

Never forget – Muslim Brotherhood plants are thoroughly embedded throughout all of our government agencies, and most particularly, ALL of our intelligence/security agencies!!!!

MAGA Mom

They are not “hack” proof per se. Focus then turns to the machines that count them and the methods that tally the machine counts. However, it is a step in the right direction.
absentee/mail in ballots are another major problem as well as chain of custody of the machines and mail in ballots. Too many cases of boxes of ballots being “found” and stuffing the ballot boxes. Must secure our voting systems nation wide!
And ONLY citizens vote!

Teagan

Although it will never happen, I would add, IMO, voting should be for tax-paying citizens….the ones that have skin in the game.

rayzorbak

Since these “Boxes of Ballots” are only found in the Trunks of DEMONcrats…….
I say Outlaw vehicles with “Trunks” . /s

michaelh

Back in January I posted a method of confirming and validating votes using a series of one-way SHA-256 hashes. My plan was to combine electronic balloting with a physical paper trail that could be fully verified for integrity, so that if anyone tried to sneak in a box of ballots out of a trunk, a quick electronic check could immediately demonstrate that they were invalid. Mixing them in a pile would NOT work.

I remember on July 4th. Celebration in DC where a military band played Fanfare for the Common Man outside on the Mall … I know it was outside but can’t remember if it was on the Mall …. it was fabulous …. my oh my ☺️❤️

Cuppa Covfefe

“Fanfare for the Common Man” is the fourth movement of Aaron Coplands Third Symphony (with a few changes). It’s well worth listening to the entire symphony, in particular the lead up to the fanfare (i.e. the end of the third movement), which ends in a tremendous dissonance spread through seven or eight octaves. Horrifying (especially if you have perfect pitch – I almost puked the first time I heard it). But then comes a delicate pastoral passage in the winds, and the brass pick up the melody line and develop it. Sort of puts a frame around the fanfare, and provides a musical background to it…

nikkichico7

I love Copeland …. great music for concert and marching bands .. love the music 🎼 🎶🎶🎵🎶

You might like Holst’s First and Second Suites for Band (E-flat and F, IIRC). They’re great, and also incorporate folk tunes (including one from Ralph Vaughn-Williams). Fun to play, too… (many, MANY years ago)…

I was initially very mad about Frederica’s comments advocating jail sentences for everyone who insults Congresspersons.
And then I got to thinking….
Congress is comprised of elected officials, right? But the highest elected official in the land is President Trump.
So I thought…… applying the proposed law fairly would mean that there ought to be a longer sentence and greater punishment for those who insult the President. We could lock her up.

Anyone know anything about this account? After JEB! twinked about the number of presidents who died on July 4 (John Adams, Jefferson, Monroe) the Q-verse was on alert. Then this.

Given VSGPDJT’s giant PSYCH! on the census this week, it’s hard to take things at face value without eyes who see more than the surface on the twink and the account.

I sent that tweet to the @SecretService…as did others.

BigMamaTEA

Well, I read that tweet, and I considered it a threat. So…that’s what I do.

A personal story from my bubble here in San Diego….randomly met a dad with his kids at the pool the other day..we chit chatted a bit and then he asked if I was the one that flew the III per center flag..bracing I said yes..he said keep flying it and glad that I did.
Today I was out with my dog, a neighbor strolls up and asked if I noticed the gardeners cutting/blowing/making noise and I said yeah..lol he went to their boss and told him that this is an American holiday and would they be working on 5th of May ?
While we talking another neighbor who works for Apple walks by and says Happy Independence Day.
A brand new neighbor put a huge flag in his truck bed.
The little gang of kids had a 4th of July lemonade stand yesterday…they had a blast and so many people (lots of ppl that at first glance you might think they wouldn’t be patriotic at all ) stopped and gave them high fives for the decorations
The silent majority in one small neighborhood alive and well. KAG

Nobody was more surprised than me! This is a very diverse hood.
It seems that even though the headlines indicate strong support for the new DemoCommie view..it just ain’t so

A few neighbors with pools had all day parties. In the ladt hour theres been fireworks, ignoring the law and having fun. No community like yours but not a bunch of lefty losers either.

Everybody go look here…..sound is bad, but the image….well let’s see if I can post it so it won’t auto-start

Drat. It’s the image of crowd being filmed from Lincoln Memorial looking out…..Lots of folks there. EXCELLENT.

We get earthquakes daily, routinely. Its good. Pressure releases all the time instead of building up. That was a big ‘un though. Minimal damage too. If the aftershocks are over a 5 sometimes theyre considered another earthquake.

BigMamaTEA

Anybody see this? Of course, along with the Baby Trump balloon, apparently the code Pinkos had this there too. (Also, so far, I’ve found that the CodePinkos needed 20K to get those here, had a goFundme, and were short 2K. LOL!
First following comment on this tweet is perfect!

You know they’re desperate when an anti-Q smear is trending on Twitter! Remember when they used to pretend that QAnon didn’t even exist? Progress!

Don’t sweat the small stuff. We still like the 4th.

Unfortunately no. I even tried Imgur and it was still tiny. That was Obama’s 2013 Inauguration and those were giant Betsy Ross Flags hanging up there.
LOL!

The capitol hangs old historic flags a lot, for some reason.

andyocoregon

I have no connection to this company other than really liking their products, especially their ketchup.
And it feels good not having my money going to John Kerry and his old lady.

And I heard on NBC news tonight the administration is beginning to send out huge bills to illegal aliens who have been ordered deported but have refused to leave. They’re billing them almost $800 per day for every day they remain here.

duchess01

Really?

andyocoregon

Have I ever lied to you, duchess? 🙂
Yes, it was NBC’s evening news broadcast tonight.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

You might not lie to duchess.
But NBC is more than capable of lying to you.

Molly Pitcher5

I hope none of them are using my SSN….that’s something we don’t talk about much…there has to be millions of #’s being used fraudulently.

I like to request mine (and my wife’s) from Experian in January, Equifax in May, and Transunion in September.

Yeah, one illegal woman who’s been hiding in a church for sanctuary received a bill for $497 and change. Gotta love it.

andyocoregon

Oops, make that $497,000 and change. And she has an attorney, so the letter from the DOJ was sent to him.
And one more great bit of news. Corey Booker could get indicted for helping several illegal aliens cross the border who had been previously deported. That’s a big time no-no. Federal laws against that.

If you’re not burnt out on fireworks yet,there will be a live broadcast of the Fort Vancouver, USA fireworks extravaganza at 10:00 pm PDT. Of course that’s 1:00 am EST.
It’s one of the largest fireworks displays west of the Rocky Mountains.

It only went for half and hour, then reverted back to the Macy’s fireworks.
