OK let’s deal with this. The biggest ‘elephant in the room’ open secret in Washington DC. The money laundering. Let’s deal with it. No, they don’t actually SPEND all 4.5 million dollars to spray alcoholic rats with bobcat urine. I doubt they spent as much as $100,000 on it. What they are doing is what they have been doing for decades: stealing your tax money and laundering it. People who’ve been studying and researching how the money laundering game works internationally have known all along the USG does not actually spend $2500 on a hammer or $1 million on a box of parts. Look, as they steal the money and send it out to be laundered, they got write SOMETHING down, OK? About where it went, what it was used for, right? Here’s the brutal truth: you’ll never grasp exactly HOW MUCH they’ve been stealing until you realize about 75% of ‘foreign aid’ PLUS all of these weirdly expensive ‘studies’ are money-laundering fronts. Nobody audits the foreign aid, something the Ukraine madness has highlighted for the past 3 years. What Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are being brought in to do is to primarily REMOVE THE COVER for the money laundering operations that have been ongoing for more than a century. The Biggest Lie they ever told you was that they 6 trillion a year or whatever it is to fund this USG. That’s never been true. What they’ve been doing is stealing around 5 trillion/year. And you need an awful lot of laundering to cover up that kind of trail. Heads should be on a swivel because the last time a real initiative was undertaken to audit the Pentagon, it was suddenly ‘discovered’ that $2 trillion of taxpayer’s money was ‘unaccounted for’ and an investigation had been launched to try to discover where the missing money went. Then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld came out to announce the missing $2 trillion and the launch of the investigation on….September 10, 2001. Guess what happened next?

There needs to be an immediate hiring freeze inside the USG. There are reports from good people inside the government, much as

@obama hired approx 2500 personnel to subvert the 2017

@realDonaldTrump transition and presidency, the current administration is doing the same thing. This CANNOT be allowed. If no hiring freeze, then all new hires should be put on notice, their jobs should be terminated on Inauguration Day. The subversion ongoing inside of this administration is outrageous and must cease.

@VigilantFox
TMZ Founder: Hollywood Is In a State of PANIC Over Diddy Sex Crime Scandal

“Every celebrity in the world seems to have gone to one of these white parties. Everybody wanted to go. And if you got an invitation, you went. So you can pretty much count every high profile [celebrity] has been to one of these parties.”

Harvey Levin went on to explain that Hollywood can get very loud very quickly when it wants to. But oddly, they are utterly silent on the Diddy allegations.

Harvey Levin explained that numerous videos reportedly kept by Diddy over the years have now been seized by federal authorities and are being shared with civil lawyers.

This has caused widespread panic in Hollywood, as people are questioning whether they might appear in the footage or be implicated in past events.

“I think there’s a lot of panic, and that’s what we’re hearing. And people just don’t want the association, and they don’t want to talk about it. I think it’s that simple,” Levin said.

I have stopped creating AI images. First of all, it isn’t art. Secondly, a few days ago I went to create an image of a girl by a waterfall and was terrified when a girl by a waterfall had a black cloaked demonic figure behind her as if it was going to choke her. I also note that most of the images created by others tend to be dark, bizarre, or sexualized. Not all, but the majority. I hoped to use it to bring some beautiful ideas to life, but ultimately, after the demonic image manifested in front of me, I could not justify utilizing it anymore. Beware.

Please join with me and pray for my dear friend and Salem radio colleague, Dennis Prager. He had a bad fall and doctors are currently assessing the best treatment options. His impact on my life, and this country, have been enormous, and I’m praying for a full and speedy recovery.

It’s a back injury. Please, pray.

Regardless of how anyone feels about Trump’s picks, let’s isolate what we know: -The enemy is terrified -Elon is bullish on justice Based on the reactions from the Left, Trump appears to have touched some nerves with his appointees. Great sign. Elon is excited about it, and he is incontrovertibly one of the smartest living beings on Earth. He seems to be all-in on the situation and he has been in Trump’s ear the entire time. I trust his judgement and his vision. If Elon is excited, that’s a great sign. The country is in good hands. Also, Trump and Congress just proved that us bitching about who we want on the Internet, solved absolutely NOTHING and changed zero minds. Trump still picked Rubio for SOS, and the Senate did not pick Scott for SML. We may have influence, but not raw power. My point is, that it’s out of our hands now. We generated enough votes and hired Trump to get the job done. Now all we can do is see if he and his team can produce results. If they do, awesome. If they don’t, well then we are right back where we started, but at least there will be less LGBTQ flags flying around, cheaper gas, and it’s infinitely better than Kamala. Ultimately my message is … relax. Let it unfold. Focus on what we can control, which is replacing the failed corporate media, and waking up normies. The rest is in Trump’s hands now.

Luke 17:20-25

20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21nor will they say, `Lo, here it is!’ or `There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” 22And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it. 23And they will say to you, `Lo, there!’ or `Lo, here!’ Do not go, do not follow them. 24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of man be in his day. 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
