Marco Rubio was impressive on Wednesday.

@JerryDunleavy

The opening statement given by Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio just now eviscerates decades of failed U.S. foreign policy: “Out of the triumphalism of the end of the long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus, and this consensus was that we had reached ‘the end of history.’ That all the nations of earth would become members of the democratic Western-led community. That a foreign policy that served the national interest could now be replaced by one that served the ‘liberal world order.’ And that all mankind was now destined to abandon national sovereignty and national identity, and we would become ‘one human family’ and ‘citizens of the world.’ This wasn’t just a fantasy — we now know it was a dangerous delusion.

Here in America, and in many of the advanced economies across the world, an almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense of our national economy shrunk the middle class, left the working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and of rivals. An irrational zeal for maximum freedom of movement of people has resulted in a historic mass migration crisis here in America but also around the world — it’s one that threatens the stability of societies and governments. Across the West, governments now censor and even prosecute domestic political opponents. Meanwhile radical jihadists openly march in the streets and sadly drive vehicles into our people.

While America far too often prioritized the ‘global order’ above our core national interests, other nations continued to act the way countries always have and always will — in what they perceive to be in their best interest. And instead of folding into the post-Cold War global order, they have manipulated it to serve their interests at the expense of ours. We welcomed the Chinese Communist Party into the global order, and they took advantage of all its benefits, and they ignored all its obligations and responsibilities. Instead, they have repressed, and lied, and cheated, and hacked, and stolen their way to global superpower status, and they have done so at our expense and at the expense of their own country.

In our very own hemisphere, despots and narco-terrorists take advantage of open borders to drive mass migration, to traffic women and children, and to flood our communities with fentanyl and violent criminals. In Moscow, Tehran, and Pyongyang, dictators — rogue states — now sow chaos and instability and align with and they fund radical terror groups, and then hide behind their veto power at the United Nations Security Council and the threat of nuclear war. The postwar global order is not just obsolete — it is now a weapon being used against us. And all this has led to a moment in which we must now confront the single greatest risk of geopolitical instability and of generational global crisis in the lifetime of anyone alive today.”

Hebrews 3:7-14

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, when you hear his voice, 8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, 9where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. 10Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’ 11As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.'” 12Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today, ” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

Psalms 95:6-11

6O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! 7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice! 8Harden not your hearts, as at Mer’ibah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9when your fathers tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. 10For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways.” 11Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.

Mark 1:40-45

40And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once, 44and said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.” 45But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

@CarloMVigano

The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is a decision that the State can legitimately take, and this is a principle dictated by Natural Law even before positive civil law or Canon Law. Conversely, the “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and indisputably incompatible with the network of pseudo-charitable organizations in the hands of the Bergoglian Hierarchy, the Democratic Party and the NGOs attributable to George Soros, and with the system of complicity between the deep state and the deep church, both of which are actively engaged in the dissolution of the social, economic, cultural, and religious fabric of the Nations in which they have taken control of the institutions. Stopping illegal immigration would make them lose an inexhaustible source of profit, paid for by citizens’ taxes. The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and unquestionably incompatible with the subversive plan of ethnic substitution shared by the globalist elite, because it thwarts it and prevents the creation of the premises for social revolt that are intended lead to a further restriction of fundamental freedoms. When we hear representatives of the deep church (i.e. the Bergoglian “church”) or the deep state speak, we ought to realize that these people are emissaries of the subversive globalist lobby, and that every word they say is false, because behind an apparently acceptable excuse they actually hide unmentionable criminal purposes. Let us not be surprised then if “Cardinal” McElroy – appointed by Bergoglio as “Archbishop” of Washington, heir of the serial abuser and right-hand man of the Argentine Jesuit, Theodore McCarrick – is so busy with immigrants, LGBTQ+, the environment and vaccines: these are the points of the Agenda 2030, which the Bergoglian “church” has been promoting since the Mafia of St. Gallen managed to have a puppet of the World Economic Forum elected “pope”. And let us not be surprised if what the exponents of the deep state and the deep church have in common is corruption, vice, and perversion.

Remember when I showed in the Vaccine Education Summit that young woman that looked like she had lupus, well, Suramin is an antidote, if you will, to the mechanism of action, which is: inhibit reverse transcriptase because we know this COVID-19 isn’t a vaccine, it’s a manufactured virus. And they put Syncytin. They put the XMRV envelope spike protein, that alone causes all the diseases that could qualify as COVID, Long Haul COVID, they knew exactly what they were doing, and they published, in January of 2020 a review of all the wonderful cancers and viruses, and everything that suramin inhibits. And it was all of our work and all we tried to say for almost 30 years since I first worked with it in 1986 with HIV AIDS. Now you hear, Oh, AIDS is coming back. Oh, black man. And you know, we’re going right back to the game is the same. We could have cured AIDS in 1986 with things like Suramin and Ivermectin and cancer. They’re making money.

But the FBI did nothing with their discoveries, and the DOJ did not press charges.

“Mammograms Are A Billions Dollar Business. They’re Only Useful For Profit & Always Do Terrible Harm To The Patient.” Dr John McDougall “Do Mammograms harm? ALWAYS. Should Mammograms be done? NO.” Mammographic compression causes cutaneous bruising, haematoma, rupture of breast implants & cystic masses. Repeated exposure to 3D Radiation causes Cancer. Current 3D Mammography delivers 3X more radiation than 2D mammograms of the past. For every 2,000 women, 1 woman’s life is saved. But, in the process 5 to 50 women will be treated unnecessarily with surgery, chemo & radiation. 600-1,000 of every 2,000 women who undergo Mammograms, will go thru more radiation screening & biopsies for potential diagnosis. Repeated radiation exposure causes deaths from heart disease, lung cancer & other cancers. These iatrogenic deaths are not counted as breast cancer deaths. Quote by World Renowned Cochrane Collaboration: “The best thing a woman can do to lower her risk of becoming a breast cancer patient is to avoid a Mammogram, which will lower her risk 33%.” “If Mammograms had been a drug, it would have been withdrawn from the market long ago. Very few women if any, will benefit, whereas many will be harmed by Mammography. Mammography screening should be stopped because it is harmful.” The screening that promotes health & not harm & doesn’t cause cancer is Thermography & QT Ultrasound Imaging, which has 40 times the resolution of MRI. Lifestyle Cancer prevention to Metabolic Health is thru a Ketogenic Low Carb Way of Eating, eliminating seed oils, Ultra Processed Foods & excess sugar. And avoid synthetic hormonal birth control.

Luke 1:5-25

5In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12And Zechari’ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; 15for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, 17and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli’jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 18And Zechari’ah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 20And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21And the people were waiting for Zechari’ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. 23And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. 24After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, 25“Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

This is a good thread, and it highlights some of the things I’ve been saying since election night. Things like: There will be no resistance 2.0. The sane dems will come to support major parts of Trumpism. This period reminds me of the fall of the Berlin wall. The lying legacy media destroyed itself during the election. The lying legacy media continues to dig their hole deeper by how they are reacting to the loss and Trump’s nominees. The gop establishment are still a bit delusional and think they can stand in the breech. This isn’t 2016 And while the thread doesn’t draw any conclusions, it’s clear that most have no idea what’s about to hit them come Jan 20th. We will see a blitzkrieg like we have never seen before. Energy prices will crash. Regulations will be gutted, illegal immigration will come to a stop, deportations will be swift, and pink slips will be going out to 10,000s of gov workers. Wars will end, hostages will be released, tarrifs will be placed, and on and on. It’s going to be glorious, and the majority of the country will celebrate. While many on the left’s major players will try to hide or flee. The lying legacy media won’t have any idea on what to cover or even what narrative to push. And as each domino falls, it builds momentum for the next and the next and the next to fall. By July 4th, 2026, much of America will be in a totally different place and mindset.

Dr. Mark Hyman: “Diabetes reversible, heart disease reversible, Alzheimer’s, now Richard Isaacson has done amazing work showing how we can reverse Alzheimer’s using aggressive lifestyle interventions.” “We’ve spent, this is a great example about $2 billion and over 400 studies trying to find drugs for Alzheimer’s and nothing has worked. The drugs that are approved are extremely expensive, have marginal benefit, a lot of side effects and cost a huge amount of money and may delay your entry into nursing home by two or three months. That’s a win. That’s not very good.” “Now there’s a couple of trials that have been done. The finger trial out in Europe and the pointer trial, which is emerging, that showed aggressive lifestyle intervention, diet, exercise, managing stress, sleep, optimizing all your risk factors. was able to not just slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia, but to reverse it. This is published data. This is not my opinion.” “Richard Isaacson also has published this data. And now using biomarkers, and we can actually test with function, soon we’ll be adding biomarkers for Alzheimer’s. So now there’s blood tests for Alzheimer’s. So you don’t have to wait until you forget your keys. And also for cancer, you’re asking about cancer, we do a multi-cancer.” “So on imaging, which is very expensive and difficult and not- Brain imaging. Yeah, brain imaging. You can see the changes up to 30 years before you get Alzheimer’s as a symptom. With blood tests, it’s not as far as that. We’re still figuring out what those times are, but you can see start, these proteins start to develop in the blood that indicate there’s something happening and you can then intervene early.” “And the thing about Alzheimer’s is that if you intervene early, you can have an incredible benefit to help slow the progression and delay it and actually reverse it. And I’ve seen this in my patients. I wrote a book about this, the Ultramine solution 15 years ago, the Dale Bredesen’s written a book called the End of Alzheimer’s and documenting that we have to get through causes.” “I think it’s a medical paradigm shift. You know, I think as most doctors are in a world that’s flat world, they don’t understand that the world is round. We’ve shifted a paradigm scientifically from a disease-based diagnostic system to understanding the body as an integrated ecosystem. And so the work of people like Lee Ray Hood from the Institute for Systems Biology, his Phenome Project, is mapping out how. our understanding of disease is completely wrong.” “It’s based on labeling people according to symptoms and where it is in their body rather than on mechanisms and causes. So I wrote a book called Young Forever, which is about longevity. We talked about it, I think, last time I was on your show. And in the book, I talk about the scientists who come up with this model of what are the root causes of aging?” “Because we think aging is just, it’s gonna happen inevitable. We’re gonna get sick, we’re gonna get older, we’re gonna get frail, we’re gonna get weak. and they’ve identified the underlying biology behind that. So if we cured heart disease and cancer from the face of the planet, we might extend life five to seven years. You can get the same thing with meaning and purpose or playing tennis.” “But if you actually drill with the hallmarks of aging, the things that really go wrong, inflammation, mitochondrial insure, or nutrition, you can act, and your microbiome, all the things that underlie disease, you could extend life by 30 or 40 years, which means living to 120, which is a crazy notion, right?” So we now understand biology in a very different way than we did before, and it hasn’t translated into the clinic. And so why I co-founded Function Health with my co-founders was to help accelerate this gap, to kind of leapfrog over this ossified system. But we need to change.”

NEWS: Tensions continue to rise over mass deportation responsibilities as we get closer to President Trump taking office. This time between the Sheriff and San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Sheriff Kelly Martinez officially announces she will not side with any “super sanctuary” policy in place in San Diego. She pointed out that she is an independently elected official, which she is, and the Board does not set policy for her office, which they don’t. Essentially, the Sheriff just called out the Democrats on the Board for virtue signaling, saying she had made her position clear and they knew she would not adhere to this policy before they voted 3-1 to approve it. Good for Sheriff Kelly Martinez for being on the right side of history with President Trump. We have 40 days left until Liberation Day begins, America!

Luke 1:26-38

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For with God nothing will be impossible.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

As you watch the pieces move about the board, if you have some idea of what the endgame looks like, you’re a very happy person these days. Hunter can talk now. About EVERYTHING HE KNOWS. Hell, as many of you know, I suspect he’s been talking for years behind the scenes. But now they can begin rolling out ‘the largest criminal investigations [note the plural, please] in modern day history.’ Declass is coming. They can’t stop it because the evidence was compiled years ago and patriots have been safeguarding it. The country is now ready to see it all. The country was not ready to see any of this in 2017. Or in 2020. Hell, not even by 2023 was much of the country ready to see the Awful Truth. Now? The battlespace is prepared. We are in position to finish the enemy off. When the Declass happens and it all comes out about JFK, 9/11, the Fed, where all the Ukraine billions actually went, what 100 bn/yr in ‘foreign aid’ actually is, where all the missing children went, Epstein Island & who was compromised and controlled there, etc. etc.?

Don’t listen to anybody telling you nothing is happening. News Flash: Trump was NEVER in any real legal danger. He knew that Soros prosecutors would go after him. He “purposely” took the slings and arrows to set future “precedent” so that past presidents are no longer above the law. Presidents can now be prosecuted for crimes once they’ve left office. Trump didn’t commit a single crime and knew he would never be sentenced. Now for the Boomerang. Have you noticed lately that a whole lot of judges are suddenly standing for the constitution instead of playing politics? What’s changed? Have you heard the term “enemy combatant”? These judges are making a choice to be on the right side of history. Do you want more evidence of that? “Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered by a local judge to release all communications between her office, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office, and the January 6th Committee regarding her RICO case against President Donald Trump and his allies, after she was found to have violated federal law by withholding them.” https://zerohedge.com/political/fani-full-release-ordered-after-fulton-da-sat-rico-records… Fani Willis was bringing a RICO case against Trump. But now she has to turn over all communications she had with other “enemy combatants” that were helping her in a conspiracy to frame Trump. Now she is going to be exposed and will find herself being prosecuted in a RICO case of treason. The perfect boomerang! This was always going to be the outcome. This is just one sting operation. There are so many more about to be exposed. Greatest military planning in history.

A lot of shit. We are still in the calm. Get your shit together. The hell storm is on its way. We have to survive it to make it to the end. These reports and comms I release are just public confirmation for me to talk about certain things publicly. The end is not for everyone. So, whatever your belief system is. Hold on to it. None of my pill and intel drops have changed. The information contained therein is static. All truths are necessarily good truths. But it’s nevertheless the truth. You can take the blue pill and ignore some of it. But the red pill will always be there. Mental health is real and not a joke. When all truths are revealed, getting close to the end, some will not be able to bear it. It’s best now that you soften the blow. Get your houses in order, stocks, preps, and finances together to ride this next phase out. Take this time now to learn, and I mean unlearn, then relearn everything. Because you won’t have time when the storm comes. Why? You’ll be too busy focusing on surviving.

NATO was created in 1949 to stand up to the Soviet Union. If the West would just make peace with Russia, which Putin is willing to do, then there would be zero need for NATO. The only people who don’t want this, are NATO weapons manufacturers, and their bought politicians. NATO exists solely to enrich itself. Their business model is war, and our tax dollars are their life source. The best solution for humanity is to disband NATO, for Trump to make peace with Russia/China, then build a multipolar world, in which every country has a fair say. The days of the US/NATO waging war without consequence, must come to an end. Russia and China just want a seat at the table, and want the West to stop waging wars all over the globe for financial and geopolitical gain. They just want us to stop building our military bases around their civilizations. Peace is possible with diplomacy.

I want everyone to know who reads this, Barry McCaffrey is highly respected in the leftist neo-con warmongering mafia inside of the beltway’s military industrial complex who love perpetual war. His post shows the insanity we deal with when it comes to advice by certain elements of retired military officers. Nuclear war and nuclear attacks are not something we want on the table at all. The proactive offensive capabilities launched recently by the Ukraine are sheer madness. Instead of demanding peace and standing up for sanity, McCaffrey is stating the obvious for a nuclear counter strike as if this is going to solve the problems we face. God help us all and I pray that no one, and I mean absolutely no one, pays any attention to this too long in the tooth retired military officer. We have to cease and desist these missile attacks. WTH are they achieving? What are our goals and objectives? WTH are we doing? No one from this current administration has answered any of these questions. Congress, and @SpeakerJohnson please step in and stop this insanity! January 20th can’t get here fast enough.

Revelation 3:1-6, 14-22

1“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: `The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “`I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. 2Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. 3Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you. 4Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ 

[ 7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:  8 I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.  9 Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.  10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.

 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.  12 He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.  13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.]

14“And to the angel of the church in La-odice’a write: `The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. 15“`I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! 16So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'”

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.

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.

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.

My counsel to everyone who reads this, listens to what I say, or gives a sh!t what I do, last nights victory was historic (YES!), but as in warfare, this was only the beginning of the long slog to achieving total victory. The best analogy is that we have seized the beachhead and have broken through the hedgerows into Normandy. I want everyone to understand, we have not achieved a “VE Day”, we are more like D-DAY+1. We have our beachhead, the troops are arriving in strength, with determined purpose, and a clear mandate. But now the real work of rooting out the evil infestation really begins. Removing the infiltrators, the bureaucratic systems and processes that infect decision making and do nothing to protect the safety and security of the American people along with many bureaucrats who wish nothing but ill will to our arriving troops. Sorry, not this time Obama. Fool us once, shame on us, try to fool us again, shame on you. Making America Great Again is our marching order and #WeThePeople are on the move. Lead, Follow, or Get the Hell Out of the Way!

My friends, next up is election fraud exposure. That is what will be the “lead in” to the justice phase we have all longed for. I’m betting the Justice System takes the lead on this during Trump’s short time as president-elect. I think lawsuits are coming that will unravel the entire corrupt fraud. The enemy desperately wants to just move on. We are now able to compare data from three different elections and trust me, we aren’t moving on. That would never be allowed to happen. Knowingly conspiring to steal federal elections across the country, is treason. Treason opens the door to changing everything. That’s the whole point of all of this.

Luke 15:1-10

1Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3So he told them this parable: 4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’ 10Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

And now for the business portion.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.

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.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

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.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

Ephesians 6:10-20

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; 16besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
