“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Soros was vocal about Putin because Soros was a main ideologue in the Ukrainian biological network, and Putin exposed it. Even put Soros’ name and face in his military slide show accusing him of creating biological weapons. Putin exposed Soros’ corruption.
Soros was vocal about Trump because Soros was funding Antifa, BLM, Caravans, Kavanaugh protesters, etc., and had his tentacles in all levels of US politics and all branches, and Trump exposed it. Trump went on Fox News and called out Soros every time he funded riots or protests. Trump exposed Soros’ corruption.
So why is Soros now being vocal about Xi? Well, logic would suggest that Xi is looking to expose some of Soros’ corruption.
What is Xi looking to do? Move into Taiwan. Deductive Reasoning would suggest Soros has his tentacles in Taiwan and doesn’t want Xi to expose it. But what is “it”?
We know there is heavy US influence in Taiwan and there are US funded labs there. But a lot of people suggest it’s microchip production the Chinese are after, as George Soros does have a large number, but not controlling stake, of shares of a semi-conductor company in Taiwan. Only around $8 million worth, which is pennies to Soros. But it’s something to keep an eye on for sure.
It’s also important to recognize that Trump, Putin, and Xi, all have a common enemy in George Soros, and therefore the deep state as a whole.
When Soros speaks, we all should listen. He doesn’t just talk to talk…and he gives away his game if Clandestine is correct here.
Is everybody really going to sit back and say nothing about how Deep State Snake Republicans used the same dishonest tactics as Democrats, just to get their good old boy in?
It's hard to drain the swamp when you have all of these corrupted rats clogging the pipes!

Nearly all mass shootings, along with nearly all violence in our cities, trace directly back to kids raised in unstable families with absentee parents. So predictable that I knew it was the case with the Texas shooter before it was confirmed. Maybe we should talk about this.
The Democrat narrative about gun control does not predict or account for the sudden rise in school shootings and other mass attacks. It's a narrative that asks you to ignore the entire 20th century up until right about 1999.

We can send $40 billion dollars to a country across the world, but in our own country we have parents who worry about never seeing their kids again when they drop them off at school. Infuriating.
Rowe said that “just two days before I was scheduled to arrive, we received a phone call from a woman at the GSA who informed us that our permits were being revoked. When we asked for an explanation, she said, ‘security concerns.’ When we asked her what kind of security concerns, she said she didn’t know. She only told us that the decision had come down from ‘the very highest levels within the GSA.’”…
“Over the last twenty years, Dirty Jobs has filmed in many sensitive environments under government control. We’ve received permits from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Seabees, Coast Guard, NASA, and The Army Corps of Engineers,” he noted. “We’ve gotten permission to film inside the Capitol and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. We even got a permit to film inside the National Security Agency! In all cases, we worked closely and in good faith with the government and scrupulously avoided any areas that were deemed sensitive or secure. Never once in twenty years has the government revoked a permit — much less at the last minute, and with no plausible explanation.”
The host added that his production team also received a phone call from someone at the highest levels of the GSA who claimed the decision had “nothing to do with security, and everything to do with politics.” The caller — apparently also a GSA higher-up — said someone in the agency “doesn’t like Mike Rowe’s personal politics” and deliberately set out to “string us along until the last possible second, for the express purpose of ‘yanking my chain.’”
Petty. Really. And bad PR for the feds, too. The brain trust really is gone.
To win any fight, we must first know our enemy. There are those who argue we are in a struggle with Marxism, though in reality, we battle the organizational and operational tenets of the Marxist tree, not the ideology itself. We know that this is not a Marxist movement because it ignores Marxism’s core clientele: the workers. In fact, these people despise the Marxist’s traditional constituents. Instead, they toil for a small minority of the “marginalized” in society whom middle Americans find to be fringe and anathema to their core values.
Even then, their movement doesn’t seek a revolution of the marginalized. They define the ills of society so that governments can unilaterally impose restitutive “justice”: defunding law enforcement and prosecution, promoting violence and riots, and forcing curriculum indoctrination throughout the educational system. They seek power through chaos.
If there is a power that wishes to usurp a democratic and free market society, then to attack with the chaos of a Marxist “revolution” will drive those most affected to willingly surrender freedom for security — You will own nothing and be happy! — and into the warm arms of the promise of a new civilization dedicated to the progress of mankind. Italy once succumbed to the promises and adopted fascism upon the bourgeoisie’s and governing elites’ fears from the encroaching evils of socialism, as had been witnessed in Soviet Russia.
Don’t be fooled by rhetoric. Fascism is an evolution of socialism. The difference is how the economy is managed. Ludwig von Mises summarized the primary differences between socialism (the Russian pattern) and fascism (the German pattern). Socialism owns everything, and the individual is simply a serf to the state; fascism “preserves private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary markets,” though these markets are highly controlled by the state.
One of the obstacles to full understanding of just what the enemy is all about revolves around the concept of symbolism.

The Biden Administration’s Ministry of Truth is on hiatus after the woman tapped to head the board decided to resign after her past came back to haunt her.
As of this writing, Dr. Oz is still ahead in the Pennsylvania senate primary. Without the election system fixed, this week’s primaries saw a mix of wins and losses for President Trump.
Elon Musk continues to send arrows at Twitter. This time, he wants to know the percentage of bots operating on the platform, and the powers that be at Twitter aren’t saying.
Democratic witnesses testifying before Congress claim that men can get pregnant and abortion at any time is just fine.

Immediately after the executive meeting with employees, and perhaps in a proactive effort to control any content changes to the platform, the executives then announced a new internal “crisis misinformation” team {LINK}. Essentially new rules that will give Twitter censors new tools and justifications to block and control content.
[TWITTER] – […] During moments of crisis, establishing whether something is true or false can be exceptionally challenging. To determine whether claims are misleading, we require verification from multiple credible, publicly available sources, including evidence from conflict monitoring groups, humanitarian organizations, open-source investigators, journalists, and more.
Conversation moves quickly during periods of crisis, and content from accounts with wide reach are most likely to rack up views and engagement. To reduce potential harm, as soon as we have evidence that a claim may be misleading, we won’t amplify or recommend content that is covered by this policy across Twitter – including in the Home timeline, Search, and Explore. In addition, we will prioritize adding warning notices to highly visible Tweets and Tweets from high profile accounts, such as state-affiliated media accounts, verified, official government accounts.
[…] People on Twitter will be required to click through the warning notice to view the Tweet, and the content won’t be amplified or recommended across the service. In addition, Likes, Retweets, and Shares will be disabled.
[…] Content moderation is more than just leaving up or taking down content, and we’ve expanded the range of actions we may take to ensure they’re proportionate to the severity of the potential harm. We’ve found that not amplifying or recommending certain content, adding context through labels, and in severe cases, disabling engagement with the Tweets, are effective ways to mitigate harm. (read more)
This new approach toward information control at Twitter comes a day after the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) said they were pausing the “DHS Disinformation Governance Bureau,” and appears to be a private sector effort by the social media platform to maintain the same purpose.
Put together the two actions by the company appear to be: (1) force Elon Musk into a position of purchasing the company at the previously agreed price regardless of the fraud that may be represented in the company financials; and (2) in case Musk goes ahead anyway, put systems in place to block any attempt to restructure the platform.
While this is only one company amid several; this is a battle inside the social media sphere that highlights just how extreme the control mechanisms are, and the entrenched position of Big Tech to avoid any challenge to their stranglehold on information content.
Bottom line is the people controlling big tech do not want the rest of us thinking for ourselves.
Do you find it extraordinarily odd that one extremist side of the political spectrum has been driven to distraction with one topic of discussion? Has everyone taken notice that just one far end of the spectrum can’t stop its fixation with this subject matter?
These are some of the more disturbing examples that show the anti-liberty left has lost the plot:
That should be enough to make the point. Anti-liberty leftists and the nation’s socialist media (but we repeat ourselves) have positively gone off the rails in projecting this. You shouldn’t be surprised, since the Buffalo chumbucket (following the example of the Zelman Partisans) also was obsessed with this issue.
For the pro-freedom right, this is a nonexistent talking point, contrasted with the liberticidal left that can’t stop talking about it. We aren’t saying much about this, but that doesn’t stop the anti-liberty left from lying and claiming we are. Even if you haven’t used that particular word, it has a bunch of synonyms that mean the same thing, and failing that, you’ve no doubt used all the letters in “that” word.
Or challenging narratives.
Good Morning !
Twitter search is now suppressing hashtags about a certain movie.
True The Vote has the phone number for this person and the location for all local 501(c)(3) 'non-profit' organizations that they visited.
What is interesting in that is the number of people who were looking forward to sparing with the Ministry of Truth being disappointed. Bioclandestine had this to say:
Well that didn’t take long. I was kind of looking forward to seeing what challenges they presented to disrupt the spread of information. I was looking forward to the opportunity to prove that We the People would just adapt and outmaneuver them, again.
I should be elated due to their incompetence, but I’m not. In fact, I’m insulted. Billions at their disposal, and this is the best they could muster? The Dems thought they could stop us with a crazy-eyed theater kid… Pathetic.
Their plan was a colossal failure. They accomplished nothing, and managed to severely expose themselves in the process. All the Biden admin did was admit they are Orwellian, Unconstitutional, and Fascist. Which amplified their own malfeasance, helped spread truth and awareness more, and now are stuck with egg on their faces.
In an exercise in guilt by nonassociation, Associated Press reporter David Bauder explains in what pretends to be a balanced news story that there is widespread, “right-wing” hate behind the Buffalo shooting. This misfortune, he says, is related to Joe Biden’s decision to open the southern U.S. border to those who may wish to join us in this country. Lots of unkind Americans have questioned allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States and providing them with de facto amnesty, together with government-financed transportation to the interior of the country. Tens of millions of Americans, apparently quite irrationally, view these steps as an attempt to create a permanent Democratic electoral majority.
For Bauder, such speculation is evidence of widespread bigotry, and he cites Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism about a “mainstream view,” which “baselessly suggests that Democrats are encouraging immigration from Latin America so that like-minded potential voters replace ‘traditional’ Americans.”
Many of those who hold such apparently baseless suspicions also adhere to a “great replacement conspiracy theory,” which argues a concerted effort is underway by American elites to use immigration to replace a predominantly white population with a nonwhite one. The chant by Charlottesville demonstrators in 2017 that white Americans would not be replaced was only the tip of a racist iceberg; and Bauder and Pitcavage link this war against being “replaced” to among others Fox News host Tucker Carlson and U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.). Both have accused Biden and the Democrats of using illegal immigration to establish a permanent Democratic majority. Stefanik, although depicted as a very centrist Republican, delivered a supposedly frightening tirade last year about how “radical Democrats” were engaged in a “permanent election insurrection” by granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants. Bauder and Pitcavage associate such rhetoric not only with the Buffalo shooting but also with white racist violence in Norway, New Zealand, and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in 2018.
Equally dangerous, it would seem, was the bookLe Grand Remplacement published by the gay French deconstructionist Renaud Camus in 2011. According to Camus, “Europe was being invaded by Black and brown immigrants from Africa;” and this was creating a cultural and political crisis. Camus, whom we are led to believe published something comparable to the pro-Nazi Turner Diaries, allegedly provided a theoretical foundation for the recent disturbing manifestations of white supremacy ideology that Bauder and Pittcavage see all around us.
Except for the following facts, that Camus published Le Grand Remplacement, that Stefanik did warn (and quite properly so) against the use of illegal immigration as a Democratic electoral tool, and that the Buffalo killer hated blacks, there is nothing in Bauder’s partisan propaganda that is even vaguely true.
Americans have every right to be steamed over the cynical use of borders kept open to create a permanent Democratic majority. Among the prices being paid for this outrageous, unconstitutional action are the flooding of our country with fentanyl (much of it originating in China) and Central American criminal gangs. The attempt of Biden and his administration and their media drones to link these justified complaints to psychopathic mass murderers (mind you, only the white racist not the black racist ones) has left me livid with rage….
The author of that piece goes on to say that blaming all the shootings on anger concerning replacement theory was part of a strategic plan put in place in June 2021.
There are no coincidences, and they think we are stupid.
The bombshell that Revolver dropped yesterday caused a shockwave heard round the cabal world! Did you hear about the Ministry of Truth Czar Nina Jankowics suddenly got cold feet yesterday and the WH had to put the program “on hold”?
So how does that connect to Elon buying Twitter? Because Nina has a history with disinformation that has come around to bite her in the ass. She participated in a secret NATO funded (US taxpayer) cabal to subvert Western democracies using disinformation as cover…under the guise of fighting “Russian disinformation”. Where have we heard that before?
Guess what favorite tool was used to manipulate the population in countries like Spain…to influence them to vote for the cabal’s selected puppet?
If you answered Twitter…DING! DING! DING! you are absolutely correct!
How? If normal citizens of a country are the vast majority (95%) users…then the tweets should mirror the vibe of the country at least to some reasonable extent. How can you manipulate an election like that? EXACTLY! YOU CANNOT!!!
The cabal had tweet centers full of computers and an army paid professional bots with multiple accounts each and combined with algorithms to suppress unwanted info and highlight the desired narrative to a point that they could sway public opinion enough to successfully demonize politicians and officials that they do not control…then install their selected puppets.
The organization started up in 2015…then ran like cockroaches and closed shop a couple years later when documents were leaked exposing their dirty deeds. Shows us how corrupt the entire Western media is. Never heard about it did you?
Fast forward to just a month or two ago, Elon Musk wakes up one morning and says,”Hmmm, I am a Free Speech absolutist and I am gonna buy Twitter for $44 billion without asking them about the most valuable part of the company…the users that attract advertisers. Because I do not care about the financial…I care about Free Speech!”
That is the gist of it. Does that sound like a businessman who happens to be the richest man in the world? EXACTLY! Of course not. A typical businessman would want to know every single detail down to the cracks in the floor before doling out $44 BILLION.
Connecting the dots yet?
Why did Musk not ask about the user accounts and bots BEFORE the bid? Because he already knew!
This was a setup folks!
Did you know that Musk is the Department of Defense’s biggest contractor? Neither did I until Kash Patel casually dropped that nuke on the Gutfeld Show a few weeks back. The hair standing up on your arms yet? Well, I have hairy arms. Ewww sounding like FJB.
So if Musk knew that Twitter was lying about the % of bots…then why make the offer? To rope-a-dope Twitter expose them and buy the company at a lower price? Maybe.
But what if this exposes MUCH MORE than that?
Musk makes the offer and meets very unusual resistance considering the offer making the stock-holders much money. The WH creates a Ministry of Truth and brings in the singing Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowics to censor disinformation for our own protection…Free Speech is dangerous ya know!
So what? Right? Just another weird Swamp Critter. Right? WRONG!
How did Revolver News scoop this story? Secret documents were leaked to them about the disinformation cabal subverting Western democracies.
Guess who’s name pops up in the documents??? You already know. BOOM!!!!! The Singing Disinformation Czar Nina J!!!
The cabal needs to block the purchase of Twitter any way they can because Twitter’s value to them is not financial…it is their bullhorn! Just like Trump blindsided them…they never saw Musk coming!
I absolutely believe that this is a military op to expose the corruption from behind the scenes using a civilian celebrity figure (we have seen that before) to draw the world’s attention without the optics of a military coup!
Follow Musk’s tweets. A couple days ago “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” YA THINK?! I get goose bumps just thinking about this!
Musk has purposely drawn the attention to himself and with his tweets giving us step-by-step instructions in REAL-TIME on how the cabal destroys its enemies…THIS TIME…in broad daylight!
Does anybody think he is risking this all on his own against such a dangerous organization? Musk even tweeted “If I die of mysterious causes. Nice to know ya!” (paraphrasing in context)
Musk knew everything before he made the bid.
What are the chances that Musk makes a blind offer they cannot publicly refuse without serious trouble with stock-holders…then in warp speed panic the WH cabal scrapes together a counter with a Ministry of Truth lead by none other than a professional disinformation operative working for a secret organization…using none other than Twitter and fake bot propaganda accounts?
All by chance??? You better not say yes.
Remember Musk is the DoD’s biggest contractor. That is right, I’ll say it…3D FRIGGIN’ CHESS!
The cabal is absolutely freaking out…bet on it!!!
If JW is right, the whole Twitter takeover may well have been part of THE PLAN from the beginning. We don’t know what we don’t know in that regard.
The Democrats are forever claiming that the GOP is reverting to a troglodyte past, that they have never seen a “more conservative” party, and so forth. This is all nonsense. The GOP gets more liberal with each passing year. Today’s “conservatism” is little more than a conservation of post-1960s liberalism. As evident in the attacks on Barnette, which came not just from the usual RINOs but also from supposed “conservative Republicans,” the GOP now reaffirms liberalism’s fatuous definitions of bigotry and view of a Judeo-Christian America as inherently indefensible. If liberals had a little more perspective, they would gloat over this development and rejoice at the sight of Sean Hannity and Mark Levin making their arguments for them.
Liberalism has little to fear from a GOP that champions supporters of gay marriage while declaring opponents of it “unelectable.” In the end, the GOP is perfectly comfortable with a de-Christianized America, quibbling not over the substance of liberalism but over the speed of its enactment. The squabbles between Democrats and Republicans grow increasingly trivial. They don’t turn on any deep philosophical disagreements but upon differing prudential judgments. If the burning issue of the day is “Should the teaching of immoral sex education start in high school or elementary school?”, conservatism has already lost.
The GOP’s alleged “culture war” amounts to very little. It is just a delayed and weak response to the most insane cultural conquests of the Left. But it leaves untouched most of liberalism’s gains. Any Republican, no matter how socially liberal, can pose as a sensible defender of “parental rights” next to his mindless and reckless Democratic counterparts. But this is just cynical and opportunistic posturing. Were it not an election year, the PC leadership of the GOP wouldn’t care one whit about the LGBTQ movement’s encroachment upon public schools. Before that issue caught fire, Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel was sending out tweets in praise of “LGBTQ Americans.” So the GOP isn’t even opposed to transgenderism in principle. It just balks at a few of its excesses involving children and athletes because doing so makes for good politics at the moment.
Thanks to the sheer madness of the Democrats, the GOP will enjoy great success this year, even as it grows more philosophically lazy and compromised. Such a GOP will never solve America’s most fundamental problems or arrest its transformation into a secularist dystopia. That would require the recovery of a principled conservatism rooted in the natural moral law. But there’s simply no interest in that anymore in the GOP. At best, it is committed to the kind of superficial and contradictory “conservatism” of a David McCormick, who can sign a gay marriage legal brief at one moment, then call Dr. Oz a “Hollywood liberal” in the next.
More on the cultural aspects of leftist politics in this piece:
If you’re feeling surrounded, don’t. There are many more of us than them. The unbelievable major serial failures of the Biden administration (who bats zero?) are waking up a broader slice of the public — waking them up through mounting costs (inflation and energy), uncertainties (crime and the border), and flagrant attempts in schools to sexually debauch our kids (Biden’s handlers support this effort), among other wanton offenses.
The progressive worldview, as translated through governance and cultural dictates, is collapsing. Progressivism is daily revealing itself as, yes, power-hungry, incompetent, ineffective, but also dark. The end of empire isn’t likely to finish with a whimper. It’ll be calamitous, confrontational, and just plain nasty. The elites won’t go gentle into that good night. They’ve far too much riding on outcomes.

Durham takes the stage with opening arguments
Scavino posts billiard trick shot with the Q of spades.
Was it Trump who reTruthed a meme of the Great MAGA King with a Q behind his left shoulder?
I heard that the Truth Social web app came online…still need to confirm
The Ministry of Truth is mute.
Many other events/signs within the last several days that indicate to me that UltraMAGA is on the offensive and gaining in intensity
Again, yesterday was the Q-teenth of May…a beautiful morning on my walk to work and yes…The Birds were Singing their hearts out.
My smile literally morphed into involuntarily laughter.
Anyone else care to take a hit off the hopium bong?
There were a number of good things posted on American Thinker on Wednesday regarding the Ministry of Truth. As of noon, they were all moot.

Seems everyone pushing for the lady was in reality pushing for McComick since votes for her most likely took votes from Oz. Funny how that works out, everytime. Don't confuse results with intentions. I'm not saying that was the intention of those voting, just the end result. https://t.co/ZOU4TJSyK2
Natural immunity was a problem, now it’s natural breast milk. Natural things don’t have a place in an unnatural synthetic world. They want you hooked on their drugs and products not God’s or nature’s or anything that is free.
I'm sure you're not naive, but be prepared to stare pure unbridled and unspeakable evil in the face. Also remember the second amendment protects the first, and protecting yourself is the single most important thing you can do.

Close the shaker.
Shake. Do not stir.
Pour into martini glass where skewered olives are resting.
Sip slowly and savor.
According to one of my mother’s more anal retentive cousins, martini olives should always be odd in number. That was convenient when I was growing up as before my youngest brother arrived, Dad would have five olives in his cocktail: one for him, one for each of the rest of us.
Okay, this week:
Anti-life demonstrators have taken to invading and defacing churches ahead of the anticipated overturning of Roe vs. Wade…even if all that does is send the issue of legal abortion back to the states.
Major news outlets, including Fox and Newsmax, are not reporting anything on the documentary 2000 Mules, which outlines the massive ballot stuffing operation during the 2020 general election.
The Senate failed to pass a bill that would make abortion legal in all fifty states and do an end run around the Supreme Court.
The House of Representatives passed a $33 Billion relief package for Ukraine when the nation still needs massive work on the infrastructure.
The latest product to see shortages is baby formula. The government is sending lots of it to the southern border to feed babies coming across from Mexico, and the plant that’s been shuttered for months cannot get clearance from the FDA to begin producing said baby formula at this time. Naturally, Bill Gates has a product available.
Amid a fuel shortage, the entity known as Joe Biden put an additional moratoria on domestic drilling for oil.
And then there’s the Kathy Barnette controversy. President Trump finally addressed that.
Having been a licensed real estate agent since 1995, I have some inside, eyewitness experience on the subject. Primarily, bubbles are supposed to pop. Financial trends tend to have momentum, which often leads to overshooting the reality of the market. At the tail end of a seller’s real estate market, new listings tend to go on overpriced. This is because analyses of comparable sales will often be extrapolated using the known appreciation trend, which has already run its course. This is typically manifest as an increase in the days on market statistic. A veteran agent once told me that there can never be anything wrong with a property that lowering the price cannot fix.
The political motive for screwing up the real estate market derives from a knee-jerk tendency to pander to the inner-city minority population. They want to have more home ownership among the less credit-worthy. Thomas Sowell, in The Vision of the Anointed, puts forth a really inconvenient fact: prior to the “Community Reinvestment Act,” inner-city minority homeowners had exactly the same foreclosure rate as white folks — the point being that traditional underwriting criteria were colorblind. But that didn’t stop the demagogues, did it? Nowadays, there’s scuttlebutt going around about the (ahem) federalization of real estate appraisal. After all, there’s still not “adequate” minority home ownership…and the appraised values deserve to be tweaked in order to balance the equation.
John Burns Real Estate Consulting provides a monthly snapshot of more than 300 builders across the nation. Here are a some comments from the builders, according to tweets from the firm’s director of research:
Demand is slowing, namely entry-level due to payment shock.
Investors are pulling back.
Ripple effect of rising rates starting to hit move-up market.
If you’re thinking about selling for the inflated prices, now is the time to do it.
Bill Gates Backed Company Now Pushing 'BioMilk' As Baby Formula Crisis Worsens For American Mothers [VIDEOS] – https://t.co/RdhWINVYyB
Don’t forget months ago Gates was producing his fake breast milk stuff. There are no coincidences https://t.co/MP9eD6Gjeq
There are 1.2 million VAERS entries and over 25k deaths, and under-reporting factor is at least 40, yet the shots havent been pulled even for children. The baby formula was pulled after 4 reported deaths.
So in 10 days Canada is turning over our medical rights to the WHO. The WHO did such a bang up job with the Plandemic can’t imagine the shit show we are about to experience with this decision. If you want a reference as to what this will look like see Shanghai. Forced medical.
If Fox is being blocked from mentioning “2000 Mules” by its lawyers, it needs to fire its lawyers. They let Fox get into ruinous litigation over what they did allow, and now want to cover their butts by shutting down a completely legitimate news story of massive public interest
I was playing “Here Comes the King” just prior to the 8th inning at Busch tonight when the #STLBlues scored the first goal of the game…after which I played the Blues Goal Song. Here’s a little behind the scenes sneak peek! #STLCards

1“Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way where I am going.” 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.
Dr. Peter Kreeft wrote: “You cannot win a war if you are unwilling to admit we are even at war or you don’t know who your enemy is or you don’t know what strategy your enemy is using.”
We start with this concept today in order to establish that the sleep from which the people are awakening blinded them to the reality that there is a war going on. A war for their minds, their freedoms, their rights and much more.
Several good pieces have appeared with information those who follow politics on a granular level have known for a while, but is rather new to the writers.
One can see the steady progression of this war on speech and ideas, and the end game is predictable: Is anyone really that surprised that the Biden Administration is implementing a Ministry of Truth in the form of the DHS Disinformation Governance Board? Can we just accept the reality at this point that leftists are evil and their efforts feed into an agenda of authoritarianism? Is there any evidence to the contrary?
Before I get into this issue, I think it’s important to point out that it’s becoming tiresome to hear arguments these days suggesting that meeting leftists “somewhere in the middle” is the best and most desirable option. I see this attitude all over the place and I think it comes from a certain naivety about the situation we are facing as a country. Moderates and “normies” along with people like Bill Maher and Russell Brand are FINALLY starting to realize how bag-lady-crazy leftists are and the pendulum is swinging back slightly. But, it was conservatives that were calling out the social justice cult and their highway to hell for years.
While everyone else was blissfully ignorant, we were fighting the battles that stalled the leftist advance. This is not to say I’m not happy to have moderates and reformed liberals on board, it’s a great thing. However, the time for diplomacy and meeting leftists halfway is long dead.
There is no such thing as a “center” in our society anymore, either you lean conservative and you support freedom, or you lean left and support authoritarianism. There is no magical and Utopian in-between that we need to achieve to make things right. We are not required to tolerate leftist authoritarianism because of “democracy.” Sometimes certain ideologies and certain groups are mutually exclusive to freedom; meaning, they cannot coexist within a society that values liberty.
Regarding voting machines vs. paper ballots, 2,000 Mules and voter rolls that need to be purged:
The United States, by contrast, is an oligarchy (a regime where the elite rules) that is only pretending to be a democracy. This is why we use a Third World banana republic election system.
No reasonable observer of the 2020 election in this country could draw any other conclusion. The week-long vote count, the midnight vote total changes, the months of early voting, and the unilateral changes to election law in multiple states without legislative approval prior to the election are all signs of the profound brokenness of the American election system. Were these behaviors to appear elsewhere, our foreign policy class would have already denounced that nation as undemocratic.
In America, however, pointing out that such irregularities happened in 2020 is grounds for censorship by “private” tech companies and politicized prosecution from the federal government. This is the lesson from the January 6 protest.
In his most recent film, “2000 Mules,” Dinesh D’Souza revisits the claims of election fraud in 2020. He is right to do so. Contra Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell(R-Ky.), Republicans should not “move on” from the election. Without free and fair elections, we do not have a republic. Without the possibility of taking power, conservatives have no reason to talk about policy.
Do you find it strange that we do not dare challenge the prevailing narrative of the ‘democratic’ party of projection and the nation’s socialist media? Especially since questioning electoral integrity is a cottage industry for themselves whenever they lose.
Why does this matter? Consider it from another point of view – why is it so important to the nation’s socialist media and the anti-liberty left? (But, we repeat ourselves.) Why have they obsessed about this for months, viciously attacking anyone who brought up the suspiciously-termed ‘Big Lie’?
Could it be they obsess over this because they are hoping for a repeat performance? In military terms, this is known as ‘preparing the battlefield.’ The Biden Regime already issued a dire warning for the fall, with this key line that shows this is all smoke and mirrors:
In forecasting 100 million potential infections during a cold-weather wave later this year and early next, the official did not present new data or make a formal projection.
They are taking the time to discredit any allegations of their electoral malfeasance in order to issue the same condemnations when they do it again. The new movie, 2000 Mules, from esteemed documentarian Dinesh D’Souza, and news anchor Tucker Carlson, are raising these questions, but they are experiencing suppression – why? If you take into consideration all that is being done by the liberticidal left to destroy democracy and this country, this takes on critical importance.
Who can forget how the authoritarian leftists graciously accepted electoral defeat without the merest hint of controversy after losing to Trump in 2016? You can’t? Well, because it never happened! Somehow, we’re supposed to ‘memory hole’ near-constant complaints about ‘Russia collusion’ for four years. So before we go on, let them remind us that only ‘they’ are allowed to question election integrity.
With 2000 Mules, the leftists desperate to hide voter fraud clearly only watched the free trailer for the movie and did not spring for the $20 to $29 to actually see the entire film. The film can be purchased from the Salem radio network from Dinesh D’Souza on “Locals” at or at the main website.
After mainstream journalists became discredited as biased, left-wing propagandists, very suddenly, a new fad sprang up: fact-checkers. Now the same journalists whom we stopped believing in the normal news are suddenly believable because they call themselves “fact-checkers.”
But if there is anything that presumably a fact-checker would do, you’d think it would be to actually carefully read and analyze a claim point by point to determine its truth. (Typically, fact-checkers specialize in being distracted by a minor detail. For example, a news story might report that Sen. Nogood smashed into a green-colored van full of nuns while driving drunk. The fact-checker would then spend pages discussing how there is “no evidence” that the van was colored green. The van might have been blue. So rating: False.)
True The Vote did what the government failed to do. The organization purchased through commercial brokers the cell phone “geotracking” or “geolocator” data from specific cities in particular states where the election was decided. They then analyzed the GPS data to show the paid “mules” who visited left-wing nonprofit organizations and then drove to many different ballot drop boxes on the same day — then did it all over again the following day, day after day, for weeks.
Can the reader FEEL the outrage building over this matter of censorship re questioning the 2020 election “results?”
THAT is what is needed to effect change. Without the anger of the PEOPLE, nothing in government is going to change, because as Sundance points out constantly, the swamp and all government state and local is set up to keep itself in power.
Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”
Yes, the waking up is happening. It is not happening quickly, but methodically and completely.
That way maybe the masses will stay awake at least for a couple generations, anyway.
Congress, on the other hand….
Counting last night’s rushed vote, Congress has now spent more money on Ukraine in six months than we spend on all US roads and bridges in a year.
… something to think about the next time you are stuck in traffic or replacing a bent rim.
Q !!Hs1Jq13jV6 ID: 768ebf No.9004278📁 May 2 2020 17:34:06 (EST) What would have happened if POTUS challenged the COVID-19 narrative from the beginning? Sometimes you can’t TELL the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM. Who benefits the most? WHY ARE [D]’S SOLELY FOCUSED ON CLOSURE [RETAINING] AND VOTE-BY-MAIL? They do not care about your well-being. You are simply in the way. This is about regaining POWER. Self-preservation. Every asset deployed. Win by any means necessary. WIN OR DIE. Q
This goes for Ukraine, too. For more on the waking up and just what the Biden camp wants for Ukraine, Glenn Greenwald has a good piece.
This is a devastating piece by @jenvanlaar. Finally our side is hitting back!

Alito: “Until the latter 20th century, there was no support in US law for a constitutional right to obtain an abortion. Zero. None. No state constitutional provision had recognized such a right. Until a few years before Roe, no federal or state court had recognized such a right.”
One of the obstacles to full understanding of just what the enemy is all about revolves around the concept of symbolism.

In honor of the weekend and tomorrow’s annual sign of spring, we bring you:
A FURLONG TOO LATE:
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Light rum
4 oz Ginger beer
1 twist of Lemon peel
PREPARATION
Fill a highball glass almost full with ice cubes.
Pour the rum and ginger beer.
Stir well.
Garnish with the lemon twist.
Has to be less lethal than a mint julip, right?
Okay, this week:
Someone at the Supreme Court who is still unknown as of this writing leaked a draft opinion that indicates Roe vs. Wade will be overturned this term. All hell broke loose.
The documentary “2,000 Mules” about the mail-in ballot stuffing operation in the 2020 general election premiered to sold out theatres nationwide.
Primaries in Indiana and Ohio saw a clean sweep of MAGA candidates as all of President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates won their primary races.
Pfizer dumped a whole lot of data on the clot shots that is revealing they knew what damage would be caused before the rollout of the “vaccines” now blamed for many health calamities.
Information surfaced that the Center for Disease Control tracked COVID quarantine compliance by purchasing data from a third party that collects mobile phone data.
A new poll claims more voters believe in the media than Congress.
Three states file lawsuit against the Biden Administration for censorship.
Elon Musk took his mother to an expensive fundraiser.
A judge in the Sussmann case being investigated by John Durham is reviewing the “attorney-client privilege” claimed by the defendent.
The CDC tried to reimpose the mask nonsense.
A majority of Americans want voter ID for elections. 84%. That’s more than a majority. That’s just about everybody.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but politics in America has become really, really exhausting. We bounce around from one freaking political or government crisis to the next one, and we’re never given a single moment to try to catch our breath.
Every single day Democrats are calling anyone who doesn’t believe as they do vile names, and Republicans while generally not as graphic as their Democrat counterparts, are still at times also guilty of extreme rhetoric. Whatever happened to reasonable people sitting down and hashing things out and coming to a mutually acceptable agreement, without the vitriol and accusations that permeate our current political discourse?
Is that gone for good? Have we reached a point where our political discourse will never again be calm and measured? I sure hope not, because I’m exhausted watching all the drama coming out of Washington. Our politicians on both sides of the aisle have forgotten the time-worn tradition that ‘what governs the best, governs the least’. Once the political class gets involved in anything they make it worse.
But it just seems that our professional political class revels in stirring up the emotions of their constituents over contentious issues. Keeping people on edge, frightened, and angry. If they don’t have a contentious issue they create one. Whatever it takes to fire up their base. It has become all about winning elections instead of governing. Both parties are now in a constant state of political campaigns, now and then fitting in a vote on naming a post office after someone.
The left is learning they can’t fuck with Elon Musk.
This is not a bad thing in the overall scheme of society.
So the leak distracted from the Pfizer dump. 46,000 people took the vaccine in a trial period….42,000 had adverse affects and 1200 died. FDA rules that one death in 30 days closes the trial down…it didn't…why?

1But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. 4And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; 6but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Anani’as. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Anani’as.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, 12and he has seen a man named Anani’as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” 13But Anani’as answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem; 14and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.” 15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” 17So Anani’as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized, 19and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus. 20And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
For a second straight day, the more rabid among us have been harping about the upcoming overturning of Roe vs. Wade, if it actually comes to pass. That is still dominating the internet and meme-verse.
How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?
My friends, do NOT get distracted by the “squirrel” that is the draft ruling on Roe V Wade. We ALL at least here, knew this was coming the minute RBG got her infernal “reward”. The timing of the release, which I am SURE has been HELD until the right moment, was curious. Most believe it was to gin up the Dem base, it was FAR too early for that, as this will “burn out” WAY before the midterms.
Others believe it was to blunt the release of ‘2000 mules’, but that will NOT stop the release, and that movie is sold out in all 200 venues, and will only SPREAD. Its impact will be a few weeks down the line when enough people see the movie, spread the word, and then others see it and realize the TRUTH about the stolen election.
So WHY did the left release the draft SCOTUS ruling NOW.
Yep, back onto Durham. He IS the 800 lb. gorilla the left FEAR, and they SHOULD. He is about to get ALL the correspondence between Hillary, her campaign, Perkins Couie, Richard Joffe, Orbis International (Christopher Steele), and Fusion GPS (Nellie Ohr) He ALREADY has more than enough info to prosecute Hillary for campaign finance law abuses, (laundering DNC and HFA campaign funds through Perkins Couie to Fusion GPS)but that is NOT the objective. The objective, as I have said before is to PROVE the conspiracy, and get ALL the players.
Once he gets HFA (Hillary for America, Orbis, Joffe, and especially Fusion GPS emails, and correspondence, it WILL open up OTHER doors. Ones that lead to MORE than Hillary. (Hi Barack…SOON bitch!).
Yes, this could be seen as a way to distract from other topics. Not just the ones mentioned, but a few others:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used location data from tens of millions of Americans’ phones to track compliance with lockdown orders and vaccination efforts, according to newly revealed documents.
The CDC specifically monitored Americans’ visits to churches and schools, as well as “detailed counts of visits to participating pharmacies for vaccine monitoring,” internal documents from the federal agency obtained by Vice show.
The CDC also reportedly tracked peoples’ movement during curfews and visits between neighbors.
A controversial “data broker” called SafeGraph initially provided the data to the CDC for free during the outbreak of the pandemic, the documents show. Then in 2021, the CDC reportedly hatched a deal to pay the company $420,000 for continued access.
George Orwell was off by a few decades, but there it is.
Voters have less confidence in the Democrat-controlled Congress than the establishment media, a Wednesday Politico/Morning Consult poll revealed.
While both Congress and the media have very low confidence levels, the Democrat-controlled Congress has an even lower confidence level than its Democrat-allied establishment media.
Fifty-nine percent have no or not much confidence in Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) Congress. Just 36 percent have a lot or some confidence in the institution.
In contrast, 46 percent of respondents have some or a lot of confidence in the establishment media, a ten-point difference. Forty-seven percent have not much or no confidence in the media, a 12-point difference.
Those numbers actually seem to be high, but still….
Don’t forget:
Those who are against abortion are not telling women what they can or cannot do with their own bodies. We're saying what they cannot do to an unborn child's body: poison it, dismember it and flush it away.
— Fr. Dwight Longenecker (@dlongenecker1) May 4, 2022
Families opting for homeschooling, private schools and other options sent enrollment down sharply in the first full school year of the pandemic, and generally it has been slow to recover.
In Houston, the largest district in Texas, enrollment tumbled by more than 22,000 to around 183,000 in fall 2021 and only about half of those students have returned. The district was shielded from making cuts in the first two years of the pandemic by what are known as “hold harmless” provisions, but those protections are expected to end. Superintendent Millard House has asked departments to cut $60 million from next year’s budget.
So where did the kids go? They are staying away from public schools.
The article does point out that enrollment is up in Florida, and down in California, in further confirmation of where the moving vans are going.
The pandemic is clearly a factor, but it’s more complicated than that.
A Dallas friend well connected with Catholic schools told me that the phone does not stop ringing at the office. Why? Parents are calling wondering how they can move their kid from public schools. Most of them are not even Catholic. As my friend said, one mother said on the phone that she wants to send her kids to a school where boys and girls go to different bathrooms and no one makes it a constitutional issue.
Homeschooling is booming, too, or another way that parents are voting against the system.
It’s all about the children, and parents are taking action.
All the Pfizer data in the universe can be released but until the MSM talks about it nobody will be listening.

26But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert road. 27And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can’dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship 28and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” 30So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31And he said, “How can I, unless some one guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: “As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. 33In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth.” 34And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, pray, does the prophet say this, about himself or about some one else?” 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus. 36And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?” 38And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip was found at Azo’tus, and passing on he preached the gospel to all the towns till he came to Caesare’a.

Okay, this week:
France “re-elected” Emmanuel Macron in an election that the more awake among us – including the French – really do believe was stolen.
Elon Musk bought Twitter outright and the left lost its marbles even if Musk himself says that in the end no one is going to be happy on the extremes of either side when he makes the place a bastion of free speech.
The World Health Organization is seeking to amend a treaty so that all sovereign nations will have to bow to its dictates.
Ukraine demands American taxpayer money to fund whatever they are funding as if they are entitled to our money.
The Biden Administration is establishing a Ministry of Truth that may or may not have teeth to it right after the Twitter announcement. Since there are no coincidences, the timing is most curious.
China is threatening to lockdown Beijing. The downstream results of that would be disastrous world-wide.
The USDA is looking to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
And Special Prosecutor John Durham’s team “accidentally” leaked information that tied the case he is building to known Democrat lawyer/operative Marc Elias.
What could possibly go wrong when the National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, organizes a “minister level launch of the Declaration for the Future of the Internet.” Put more succinctly, that would be 50 nation intelligence ministers getting together to decide what they will permit on the internet.
Apparently, a collective partner rule book is forthcoming. Big Tech will be given specific instructions on how to comply.
The global rulebook on how to handle, define and eliminate ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’ and ‘malinformation’ on the world-wide internet.
Oh, hey nothing suspicious there. Just a bunch of bureaucrats wanting to dictate what the people of planet earth think.
However, there is hope when the more intellectual conservative sites like American Thinker publish stuff like this:
Or perhaps the real quandary is this: who actually benefits from all these magnificent “achievements”? Certainly not the American people! Most Americans alive today have never been more financially insecure, less safe, or more uncertain about their futures. Never have so many Americans or their loved ones been struggling with alcohol and drug addictions. Never have Americans reported feelings of isolation, loneliness, and despondency in such high numbers across all demographics. Never have more Americans agreed that the nation is following a broken moral compass and headed in the wrong direction. After years of enduring psychological abuse from governing institutions selling nothing but fear and invasive bureaucratic mandates, parts of the country look as if they’ve been rattled into a permanent state of PTSD. Too many Americans are stumbling around like the walking wounded, waiting to endure the next round of pain that will surely come their way.
So, if not Americans, then who exactly is celebrating this deadly Jo’Bama jubilee? Let’s see — there are the narco-terrorists and sex slave–traffickers who have never had an easier time importing murder and misery at the border — especially when they can count on the feds’ assistance in transporting their “products” across the U.S. at no extra charge! The Chamber of Commerce’s support for Biden’s candidacy over President Trump’s re-election has been rewarded with a steady supply of cheap labor from off-the-book illegal aliens (none dare call it slavery!). Obviously, the home nations of all the illegal aliens wiring American dollars back to their families are net winners, benefiting from both reduced welfare obligations to their depleted populations and increased flows of taxable remittances. And the Democrats, who perversely measure their personal power according to the scope of government’s reach, profit from tens of millions of illegal aliens bloating an already morbidly obese American welfare system of government largesse.
Let’s not forget all the once-bankrupt blue states and cities that are now flush with COVID and “climate change” financial windfalls that will, to no one’s surprise, fund political insiders and pet projects having nothing to do with either so-called emergency. Certainly, “non-profit” Democrat-aligned interest groups have won the lottery as their war chests are now overflowing from the direct injection of stimulus dollars set aside for “good causes” that serendipitously happen to all be Democrat party causes, too.
Both Big Pharma and Big Defense are raking in big cash, especially considering that before the coincidental arrivals of the COVID pandemic and NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine, our legalized drug-dealers were weathering class action lawsuits for their role in addicting millions of Americans to opiates, and our perpetual war machine was navigating how to wind down two decades of conflict in the Middle East and Central Asia while maximizing its bottom line. Defense industry lobbyists can’t afford for wars to be won quickly. Pharmaceutical lobbyists can’t afford the prospect of actually curing disease. If “vaccines” worked or trillion-dollar defense budgets defeated enemies, everybody’d be out of a job. Good news: In Biden’s America, there will be plenty of disease and war for all!
It’s not pretty, but then XVII never said it would be, just glorious in the end.
Schlichter seems to think that the people will hold the line:
After decades of incoming fire by an aggressive left that wants to convert us into impoverished, gender-baffled serfs with no ability to participate in our own governance, we have a right to demand that the people wanting to lead the fight actually understand that we are in a fight. And we are now demanding that. You better not waver, you better not waffle, not if you want a future in this GOP.
Kristi Noem was weighed and found wanting. She sided with the Chamber of Commercecons against a law protecting girls’ sports and then lectured us that we were too dumb to understand how her total surrender was actually a massive victory. That’s when she lost her mojo – the based base was done with her. She’s toast – and if Trump or DeSantis or anyone else thinks about naming her VP (her anticipated presidential campaign is deader than CNN+), he’ll hear about it loud and clear.
You can’t betray us anymore and survive. W did. Mitt did. McCain did. The cons have one thing in common with Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit – they’ve been cheated on a zillion times, but unlike that lumpy harpy (who recently, and utterly predictably, came out foursquare in favor of censorship, as losers often do) modern conservatives are refusing to tolerate adultery, in our case of an ideological nature.
That doesn’t mean that the establishment isn’t going to band together and try to find a way to keep the peasants in line.
The 78-page ruling is available here. The state appeals court ruled 4-3 against the democrats. The June 28, 2022, primary will likely be moved to August because the state now needs to redraw the congressional districts.
(Via MSM) – […] The New York State Court of Appeals said the three maps violated the state’s Constitution by creating political bias. The maps were “procedurally unconstitutional, and the congressional map is also substantively unconstitutional as drawn with impermissible partisan purpose,” the court said.
[…] With no more appeals and time running out, the court ordered the adoption of a neutral map by an outside expert. The court also recommended the state’s June 28 primary be moved to August.
“We are confident that, in consultation with the Board of Elections, Supreme Court can swiftly develop a schedule to facilitate an August primary election, allowing time for the adoption of new constitutional maps,” the court said. (read more)
Last year alone, we lost nearly twice the number of young people to fentanyl as all the US soldiers who died in Vietnam. It's a national crisis flooding across our southern border. If only we had a physical barrier to stop it.
Let’s keep in mind that @elonmusk never threatened to deplatform, censor, shadow ban or otherwise distort the leftists on Twitter, he just vowed to level the playing field for ALL. The fact THAT so wildly triggers the Left tells you everything you need to know about the Left!

1After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber’i-as. 2And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased. 3Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples. 4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, “How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” 8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?” 10Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost.” 13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten. 14When the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world!” 15Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Okay, putting the tweetverse on hold for a few to highlight the “nothing happening” of the John Durham investigation.
Ahem.
It has been noticed by various prognosticators that a very big name in Democrat politics has surfaced in all of the information leaked this week. Sundance lays it out.
Additionally, the Durham filing itself {SEE HERE} gives us another granular look at how the prosecution is walking the tightrope of carefully balanced prosecution of leftist activists, lawfare people and political organizations outside government.
Within the filing the privilege claims are easily dispatched by prosecutor Andrew J. DeFilippis, Assistant Special Counsel to John Durham. One key paragraph is a little funny in that the prosecution uses the defense position against them. The prosecution states the “purported privilege holders who have intervened do so in a case in which the defendant has denied representing any client when he brought the Russian Bank-1 allegations to the FBI.”
The privilege controversy itself seemingly entraps Michael Sussmann. How can Sussmann claim attorney-client privilege when his defense is to say he wasn’t working on behalf of any client when he brought the information to the FBI? Whoopsie daisy.
All of that said, there’s another interesting aspect to this specific filing if you stand back away from the granular legal details and look at the arc of the prosecution within it. It appears to me that Michael Sussmann is not the REAL target of this prosecution, Marc Elias is.
♦ It looks like John Durham is using the prosecution of Sussmann, and all the details within the case, to box in a very easy prosecution of Michael Sussmann’s boss, the infamous Democrat lawyer, Marc Elias. Read the filing and you see how Perkins Coie and Marc Elias are clearly and purposefully outlined as having the major role in the activity of Sussmann. All prosecutorial roads against Sussmann are leading to Elias.
That risk would certainly explain why Marc Elias left Perkins Coie immediately after the Alfa Bank lawsuit against Fusion GPS revealed the connective tissue, and then John Durham start focusing on Perkins Coie and Michael Sussmann.
Sundance is a little late to the party on this, as there were comments here in January and February pointing out that Marc Elias was the bigger fish RICO-wise when it comes to Russia-gate.
Not only that, but Elias was also heavily involved in the 2020 election rigging.
For nearly three years, with the aid of the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA, they sought to make absolutely certain [Trump] could not be re-elected. The Clintons, Obamas and their activist worker bees in and out of Congress worked tirelessly to destroy Donald Trump. For four years, Marc Elias traveled state to state to get election laws changed to facilitate the cheating they planned. Nancy Pelosi let the cat out of the bag when she said, “I feel very confident that Joe Biden will be elected President on Tuesday. Whatever the end count is on the election that occurs on Tuesday, he will be elected, on January 20th he will be inaugurated President.”
Could it be that the white hats actually know what they are doing and that information is “leaked” to demonstrate just what they have on the other side?
So, far from nothing really happening, it looks like one of the big players behind the scenes is actually in the cross-hairs, and just like test pilots, no one really knew his name.
The information flowing out of Durham’s filings and the vast amount of emails, texts, reports, etc, etc…show that the Russia-Gate bullshit was exactly that, bullshit (excuse my Irish!). In my expert judgement of the federal government and my expert judgement as a senior intelligence official, the FBI needs a total and complete transformation or it needs to be abolished (at this moment, I favor the latter, but I’ll leave a glimpse of light to be convinced otherwise). The embarrassment and the incompetency as well as the criminal behavior of senior members of the bureau demonstrate a level of corruption that is beyond the pale. Additionally, select senior elements of the intelligence community inside the ODNI and the CIA need to be brought to account. They know they committed an egregious level of sedition in their effort to usurp the presidency of the United States of America thus the American people. If you can’t tell I’m pissed, then you are asleep. I’m upset but I am totally focused on staying the course of getting the American public back in the game. We have one shot this November…we better wake up America and get out to vote all the bums out (both parties). Enough said … for now.
Okay, back to the little birdie and the reality that with that specific platform out of the hands of the other side, panic is setting in.

Jeff Bezos has already gone after Musk. This is just getting started.
How do you legally enter evidence into the record?
That’s a very good question.
I believe we are right now watching the answer unfold, with the tranche of emails going public between Fusion GPS and all the Fake News Media coordinating the Trump/Russia hoaxes with the Clinton camp.
And then there’s this:
They were all using Twitter DM’a to coordinate their criminal conspiracy activities.
If Musk hands the DM’s to Durham, it’s the same as giving them to Trump for his civil lawsuit. 😁
Does Elon Musk have his hands on the paper trail???????????
While that might be true, [DS] published their counter-move on Thursday. From Sundance:
I think we are now seeing the outlines of how the Fourth Branch of Government are planning to keep control over information, specifically public discussion on Big Tech platforms, even as Elon Musk moves to open the valves of information from the social media platform Twitter….
Shortly after Elon Musk made a bid to purchase a single information platform, Twitter, and then expressed his intent to open the speech valves, former Obama administration intelligence officials wrote a letter {SEE HERE} warning about efforts to break up the information control by Big Tech and Social Media.
That letter was shortly followed by a speech delivered by Obama himself where he specifically demanded that government take a larger role in the control of information {LINK}, essentially promoting an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ to control information in the public sphere.
The internet search engine operators have already agreed to align with the interests of the government. That’s not debatable as in the examples of Google {LINK) and DuckDuckGo {LINK} to name just two. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube have famously also expressed their intent to align with the control of information, based on the instructions and edicts of the same U.S. government agencies. Again, this is not a conspiratorial claim, it is self admitted and we have all witnessed it.
Today, however, we are seeing the architecture of how they plan to organize the tools.
(POLITICO) – “DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.” (link)
You can read more about Nina Jankowicz and her ideological alignment with the control mechanisms here and here. The bigger picture issue is that DHS will now work around any independence of social media, vis-a-vis Twitter as a free speech platform, by defining the parameters of allowed conversation. A bureaucratic board within DHS will now serve as the group who defines what can and cannot be discussed.
George Orwell, please pick up the courtesy phone.
I’d say the world has tossed off the mantle of COVID.
I don’t say this just because I run a pilgrimage company, but it’s beautiful to see so many people back in Rome.

Feels like Twitter changed its algorithm over the last day or two, like they’re covering their tracks before the public is allowed to peek under the hood. My followers are growing faster than usual without me doing anything different. Maybe they disabled the shadow ban function?
One of the obstacles to full understanding of just what the enemy is all about revolves around the concept of symbolism.

27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. 30The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. 31God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.” 33When they heard this they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

And that system of control is working overtime to be sure that any alternative viewpoints are shut down as soon as they are presented. Sundance has a piece on that.
Former Obama era intelligence officials, those who helped construct, organize and assemble the public-private partnership between intelligence data networks and supported social media companies, have written a letter to congress warning that any effort to break up Big Tech (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Microsoft, etc.) would be catastrophic for the national security system they have created.
Citing the information control mechanisms they assembled, vis-a-vis the ability of social media networks to control and approve what is available for the public to read and review, the intelligence officials declare that any effort to break up the private side of the intel/tech partnership will only result in less ability of the intelligence apparatus to control public opinion.
They willfully admit that open and uncensored information is adverse to the interests of the intelligence state and therefore too dangerous to permit. They specifically argue, if the modern system created by the partnership between the U.S. government and Big Tech is not retained, the national security of the United States is compromised. Let that sink in for a moment.
The entire piece is worth a read, and SHOCKER, the letter was actually signed by Admiral Mike Rogers.
So, the question of who is wearing what color hat or is a mole in one operation or the other is still on the table.
Elon Musk, whom multiple outlets have called “the real Tony Stark,” is maneuvering to take over one of the biggest tech companies in the world — no small task. Undeterred by the board’s rejection of his first offer of $43 billion to purchase Twitter, Musk now appears to be moving to “plan B.”
According to The Daily Wire, Musk, the world’s richest man, “slightly shifted his strategy in his attempt to buy out Twitter and take the company private.”
The New York Post reports that Musk, who offered to buy Twitter on April 14, is now seeking to finance the takeover plan “in a complex deal that raises debt against both the company and possibly his own stock, as well as a giant cash equity infusion from co-investors.”
This plan differs from the plan detailed in an SEC filing last week, which stated he was “offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced.”
Sources reportedly told the New York Post that Musk was now planning to increase his original $3.4 billion investment in Twitter stock to up to $15 billion in order to take the company private.
He’s busy exposing the public/private partnership involving the Intelligence Community surveilling all of us all day every day for the totalitarian move it is.
And he’s serious about it, too.
BREAKING: Elon Musk has
1. $25.5B in financing for Twitter from a group of banks led by Morgan Stanley—includes $12.5B in margin loan against his Tesla shares.
2. The rest of the money ($21 B) is coming out of his own pocket. (SEC filing)
If you are afraid of "disinformation" you are either a liar that practices it or you don't trust your ability to find the truth. Me, myself and I are fine with disinformation. I just ignore most of it it by turning off the mainstream media.
After a jubilant week in the friendly skies, White House spokeswhore Jen Psaki tried to get the people to ignore evidence of euphoria.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki mocked Americans who joyfully took off their masks earlier this week after a federal judge struck down the Centers for Disease Control mandate.
Psaki claimed “just one” plane full of passengers reacted positively to the news. There are dozens of videos showing relieved passengers freeing their faces, with thousands of flight reactions that went undocumented.
Which is why Twitter was loaded with videos of cheering passengers earlier in the week.
Instead of a liberal college doing a fake poll, they could go to airports and actually observe how many people are still wearing masks… but it's not about facts, it's about narrative.

Florida legislature has revoked Disney’s self-governing status which means that some bold new changes are on the way. Disneyland in California will remain a popular site for human trafficking but the Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL is going to experience a dramatic overhaul.
Take a look at these exciting changes on the way:
1) The Hall of Presidents will just have 46 animatronic Donald Trumps: They are the greatest robots, maybe ever. Everyone says so.
2) Chip and Dale will now reside in separate trees: We can’t let our children be corrupted by cartoon characters having too close of a relationship.
3) Avatar land will be turned into an IP someone actually cares about like Krull: Wield a sentient weapon and save the world!
4) Only the original Star Wars trilogy may be spoken of: The prequel trilogy is too perfect to corrupt with human speech.
5) The only country featured in Epcot will be AMERICA: America is like a highlight reel of all the best countries anyway.
6) All Disney princesses to be replaced with Melania Trump: Finally, real diversity!
7) Weird Disney adults who come without kids will be banned: Yessss!!!
8) Human trafficking is strongly discouraged: And no more kids on leashes, you weirdos!
9) It’s A Small World attraction to be dismantled by tactical nuke: The area will be sealed off for thirty years.
10) Johnny Depp’s character will no longer wear eye shadow on the Pirates ride: Will also incorporate ex-wife Amber Heard in a redesigned auction scene.

From the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 5:
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. [2] And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying: [3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. [5] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
[3] “The poor in spirit”: That is, the humble; and they whose spirit is not set upon riches.
[6] Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. [10] Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11] Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: [12] Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. [13] You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
[16] So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. [17] Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. [18] For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
That’s not from today’s readings, but it never goes out of style.
And for those who let anxieties get to them:
I swear I’ve sung that at every funeral I’ve done in the last thirty years.
