Georgia Guidestones stuff:
And now, the Tucker actually went there video (no, this does not make up for not talking about 2000 Mules, but since he’s the only one actually going there and calling selling off the national oil reserve treasonous, it’s worth a view):
Oh, and, uh….
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Resigns
And it started out so promising.
Oh, well.
So, this happened:
JUST IN: Governor Abbott Authorizes Texas National Guard, State Troopers to Apprehend Illegal Aliens and Return Them to Ports of Entry
Just in time for the mid-terms.

New Russian MIL Report on US Biolabs in Ukraine 07/07/2022
Russia’s Special Military Operation has found documentation pertaining to a third party evaluation of the US biological network, specifically the Defensive Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine, pertaining to the facilities from 2005-2016 (Remember these dates). The document contains the data on evaluation of healthcare, veterinary and biosecurity system efficiency prepared by a group of U.S. experts in 2016.
The experts confirm that despite 10 years of activity in Ukraine, “there is no legislation on the control of highly dangerous pathogens in the country, there are significant deficiencies in biosafety… The current state of resources makes it impossible for laboratories to respond effectively to public health emergencies”.
Some good news:
Covid shots for little kids are DOA
But at this point many parents have seen and experienced the side effects of the vaccines for themselves. They also know firsthand that the shots do little if anything to stop Omicron infections (though they may not be aware how terrible the data truly are). And they know that Covid is a minuscule risk for children who are not already seriously ill, and that most kids have already been exposed.
(All the Sesame Street ads in the world can’t change reality. Congrats, Elmo. You’re in the 1 percent. Cute Band-Aid, though.)
Guys… I feel bad for you all, I really do.
How Joe Biden Is Using the Controversial Title IX Program to Destroy Innocent Men on College Campuses
The policy in question is Obama’s Title IX rules governing how schools handle sexual misconduct on campus. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination at any school receiving federal funding. Like all civil rights law, the scope of Title IX expanded dramatically, and in 2011 President Obama took it to it to new, ridiculous heights. The administration required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of the evidence” standard for judging sexual assault allegations, where if an accused person is deemed even 50.01% likely to be guilty, they must be held responsible. Schools were also encouraged to erect star chambers with single investigators, where accused students were denied any right to cross-examine an accuser or even see all the evidence against them. If they resisted, colleges were threatened with the loss of federal money—including access to student loans. For the vast majority of colleges, such a loss would effectively be a death sentence.
In one of his most underrated moves to Make America Great Again, President Trump quickly repealed Obama’s policy. That should have sent it permanently to the ash bin of history.
But alas, no. Not only is the policy back, but activists have concocted a version that is far more wicked than its predecessor.
Reading room pieces just from American Thinker today. The others….
Follow the COVID Money
As Deep Throat whispered to Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal (“Follow the money”), so, too, the American public should be demanding the same of its political leaders: Follow the COVID money to determine why we continue to spend a fortune on something that seems to have only a relatively limited benefit.
But our elected officials are embarrassingly quiet on answering the basic question of who exactly is benefiting from the constant rounds of shots being foisted on or recommended to the American public?
Maybe the silence comes from the fact that the pharmaceutical industry spends more on lobbying than any other industry group. In 2020 big pharma spent over $300 million lobbying officeholders and government officials. It clearly pays off. The research to develop the COVID-19 vaccines was nearly all funded by taxpayers. The distribution of the vaccines, once developed, was further funded nearly entirely by taxpayers. The record-keeping and reporting on the vaccines is also at the expense of taxpayers, and the new repurposed Pfizer drug Paxlovid, used to treat COVID, has been paid for by taxpayers.
If the vaccinations are proving to be ineffective in stopping the march of the disease, are they really worth what the federal government is paying the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture, distribute, and administer them? Is the public being played for suckers by a cabal of industry giants and their friends in the medical bureaucracies?
Jordan Peterson in Hot Water over Pronouns (Again)
Peterson wrote: “Remember when Pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.” Peterson is not bending to the woke mob, and says he’d rather die than delete his tweet. Good for him.
Democrats’ Anti-Democratic Delusions Require Population Control
GOP freakouts and the Ten-Day Rule
Richard Baris said it succinctly: “Last month, it was ‘Ukraine.’ Week before Roe, it was ‘Gun Safety.’ We call them ‘News Cycle DEMs.'” This is of course perfectly true, but the corollary is that, unfortunately, many Republicans react to these Dem media and Twitter onslaughts in total Chicken Little mode.
A seemingly major event takes place, often artificially magnified in its supposed political importance by the Twitter Dembot mob and the usual media suspects, followed by an equal-in-volume GOP chorus of “the midterms have slipped away from us,” “we are doomed,” and endless variations of these morose themes flood Republican timelines and articles.
Recall former British prime minister Harold Wilson’s eternal political dictum: “a week in politics is a long time.” I’ll add my less well known dictum: “always remember the ‘Rule of Ten.'”
Regarding Wilson’s statement, a few moments of consideration will show that what seemed momentous in the fast-changing media cycle was totally removed from the voter’s consciousness, if it ever penetrated it in the first place, within a matter of days as the Baris cycle pedaled on.
But using the Rule of Ten, Republicans can divest themselves of this unfortunate habit and direct their energies to more profitable use.
Don’t hold your breath.
Oh, and another headline I found:
Happy 4th? Soros Claims ‘Far-Right’ SCOTUS ‘Greater’ Threat Than China, Russia
Why is that man still walking the earth?
And from the Babylon Bee:
First 12 Things Trump Will Do When He Inevitably Returns To Power
- Spray Febreze on the Oval Office curtains to get the old man smell out: Step one to draining the swamp is giving it a flowery scent.
- Make Pelosi wear a sweater on the beach: I mean, really.
- Welcome back Mike Pence, just to tell him he’s fired: It’ll be the highest ratings for a single episode of The Apprentice. Maybe ever.
- Invade Afghanistan so he can show how much better he would be at withdrawing from Afghanistan: He’s been dreaming about this one every night when he goes to sleep.
- Finish building that wall, but make Hunter Biden pay for it: Hunter will borrow from Joe, who will borrow from China. 4D chess!
- Make everything at the dollar store $1 again: And abolish the fed.
- Sneak out of the Oval Office for a quick 9 holes: Trump needs to keep his golf skills sharp so he can challenge Putin to a match for the fate of Russia.
- Bring back the McRib: And make it permanent this time!
- Find Osama Bin Laden’s body and kill him again: USA! USA! USA!
- Declare total infinity immunity with no take-backs: Should put an end to congressional witch hunts.
- Put Dr. Fauci in the stocks in the National Mall so everyone can throw cabbage at him: Somewhere up there Samuel Adams is drunkenly smiling.
- Buy Greenland and make Mexico pay for it: And then drill for oil like there’s no tomorrow.
There’s not enough Febreeze in the world for that.

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

HOSEA 14:2-10
2Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, “Take away all iniquity; accept that which is good and we will render the fruit of our lips. 3Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses; and we will say no more, `Our God,’ to the work of our hands. In thee the orphan finds mercy.” 4I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. 5I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar; 6his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon. 7They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon. 8O E’phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit. 9Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
MATTHEW 10:16-23
16“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, 18and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. 19When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; 20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel, before the Son of man comes.
SATIRE!
Have a great weekend.
