Congressional GOPers are getting set to approve the latest NDAA which fixes the government spying problem by making it easier for government to spy on us.
I wish I was kidding.
They are such useless twits, aren’t they? Gotta be that they are on the take. At least, I hope they are on the take or being blackmailed. I hope they aren’t consciously this stupid and evil. There is no reason for the GOP to do anything right now. Sure, we can’t enact a single law because the Democrat Senate and Pudding Brain will not agree. But this doesn’t mean we have to do anything. Let them stew and complain. Nobody gives a darn about Ukraine or any of the other things the Establishment is on about. All people care about is gas, groceries and our increasingly chaotic border. Just say no. But, they can’t. They have to “do something” or someone who hates them will hate them even more.
Harvard’s President is being kept on. They have to: she is the definition of the Diversity Hire and if they boot her then it will start the whole system crashing down. Do keep in mind that all of the major institutions of the Western world are now run by people just like her: mindless ideologues promoted because they check boxes and obey orders. Start pulling at even one thread of it and it’ll unravel…that is, the rank incompetence of these people will be revealed. So, she gets to stay. Though given that she booted people from Harvard for plagiarism in the past the coming lawsuits will be enormously funny. As will the lawsuits soon to hit CVS as they were just caught on tape talking about how to exclude white people from the hiring process.
Side note: all our laws about civil rights? No longer in effect. They are just there to beat you down. If your rights are violated, nobody is going to do anything about it. You won’t find the DOJ going after CVS.
But it is past time that in our Red States we enact Civil Rights laws and start vigorously enforcing them. We do control some major powerhouses – notably Texas and Florida. We can make corporate and education America feel quite a lot of heat. And all it will be is just enforcing the notion that we are all equal under the law. Nothing radical or new. Nothing hard to explain. Fairness; that’s all we’ll be enforcing.
Word is that Ukraine will raise the age of conscription up to 40 because that’s what all nations on the road to victory do.
What a mess that is turning into. From what I’ve read up to a couple million military-aged males have fled Ukraine. And if they’re getting ready to conscript 40 year olds it means they are at the bottom of the manpower barrel. Today Zelensky was in DC trying to drum up support for even more money. He’ll probably get it but, seriously, what point is it if there’s nobody to give the arms to? It is way past time to wind this up – ask Putin to name his price and then try to make him back off 10 percent of it.
The Hamas apologists have raised the death toll in Gaza to 18,000. Keep in mind that back in 2002 the Palestinians said that the IDF had killed thousands in Jenin. Turns out it was about 50. They’re lying now as much as then. My guesstimate is about 500 dead…this based upon word that about 100 IDF soldiers have been killed. Figure firepower differential means about 3 Hamas dead to each IDF and then add some more because Hamas uses human shields.

The American propaganda media has so distorted the Ukraine conflict that the truth may never be known. I work closely with a lady from Poland who recently went back home for a couple weeks and what she reported back opened my eyes. People in Poland don’t even talk about the war, and no one is worried about Putin. In fact, Poland has the same problem with Ukraine that we have with Mexico in that thousands of Ukrainians have poured over the Polish border and have started making demands. The current conditions are that if a Polish household takes in someone from Ukraine, they need to house them and take care of them for a minimum of 6 months. On top of that, many Ukrainians are complaining about housing conditions, dietary needs, etc., they are becoming a real problem in Poland. Also, the opinion of America in Poland is souring because many of them see America has the aggressor. And all you have to do is closely examine the American narrative to realize what a fraud this whole thing is. The American establishment will have you believe that Putin will not stop in Ukraine and once he conquers that country, he will be on to the next, and then the next, when in reality, Putin has never moved beyond the eastern region of Ukraine and has lost much blood and treasure in the process. Russia simply doesn’t have the man power or the arsenal to do much of anything else, but if you believe Lindsay Graham, Putin is an all powerful megalomaniac hell bent on conquering the world … and nothing could be further from the truth. We are being lied to.
I also have to think that Ukraine has A LOT of dirt on our political class who have used Ukraine and foreign aid as an ATM machine over the last decade. On top of that, we know Hunter Biden has enjoyed Ukraine’s sex trafficking industry so there is that too. This whole thing reeks of corruption and incompetence and sadly, lots of people are dying because of it.
I read a lot and archive a lot of the stuff I read, then periodically purge articles that are no longer relevant. During that process I came across this post from Stilton’s Place that seemed worth sharing.
Great article and excellent summary of events. Let’s not forget it was Obama who green lighted the DOJ to spy on Trump. The Kenyan’s hands are all over this current civi unrest. The Mrs. and I watched Obama’s movie last night “Leave the World Behind” on Netflix and it is embarrassing. It’s comes off as something written by a high school drama team complete with all the stereotypical racism one would expect from high school kids. Yet this was written by a former President … who was worshipped by anxiety ridden white people.
Remember when Harry Reid stood on the Senate floor and outright lied about Romney not paying his taxes. After the election, Reid admitted he lied and was proud of it because “we won”. That’s who Democrats are now. They are dishonest, unethical, violent, and deranged. American Democrats are simply the worst people in the world, bar none, and the world will be better off when they are vanquished. We must see to that.
Nah, I can’t go along with the “worst people in the world” idea. They are not cutting off heads or holding hostages who are gang-raped, or forcing slave labor to make shoes and phones, or using child labor to mine toxic minerals.
…though come to think of it, they support these people.

No, they’re just aiding and abetting those who are doing those things.
AND funding them, and apologizing for them
That was from July 2021. Since then a lot has been added, such as the confirmation that the media conspired with the Left to hide negative information about Biden, the kind of information that we later learned would have changed the outcome of the election. And a lot more has come out about ballot manipulation, examples of signatures accepted that we blatantly bogus, etc.
As the TV character Gomer Pyle was fond of saying, surprise, surprise, surprise!
These figures don’t appear to include the vast numbers of purely bogus ballots accepted and then counted as votes–that is, ballots received well after the legal deadline, envelopes without signatures and envelopes with signatures obviously not matching the signature on the registration.. This kind of thing was enabled by mass mailing of unsolicited ballots which could then be stolen, picked up where postal workers dumped them, etc. to be dumped in drop boxes.

A while back I cited the famous line from MacBeth, “something wicked this way comes.” Multiply that by ten.
Supreme Court Accepts Case Challenging Jan. 6 Obstruction Charges
This looks to be good news. Of course, the verdict is a ways off and the direction it takes isn’t certain, but with the court current leanings I suspect this will have positive, long reaching ramifications.
The U.S. Supreme Court will take up a Jan. 6 defendant’s appeal of the Department of Justice’s novel use of evidence-tampering law to prosecute hundreds of defendants for obstruction of Congress.
The DOJ had charged nearly 330 defendants and former President Donald Trump with obstruction as of Dec. 6.
President Trump was charged in August with several counts related to obstruction of the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. A grand jury indicted him for obstruction of an official proceeding, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, among other counts.
Defense attorney William Shipley predicted that the Supreme Court’s decision to take up the obstruction case would put an end to the D.C. prosecution of President Trump.
“The decision by SCOTUS today to take up the appeal on the 1512 ‘obstruction of an official proceeding’ case means the Trump D.C. case will not be going to trial,” Mr. Shipley wrote on X. “This is the easy way to make that happen without directly acting on the Trump case on an expedited basis.”
Marina Medvin, a defense attorney who co-authored a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the challenge of the DOJ’s prosecutions, said the 327 cases at issue should never have been felonies.
“The tide has turned,” William Pope of Topeka, Kansas—a defendant charged with obstruction—wrote on X.
“The Supreme Court taking up the obstruction of an official proceeding appeal is a clear message to the DOJ that government extremism has gone too far; that more than three hundred Americans, including President Trump, myself, and many currently in prison, were wrongfully charged,” Mr. Pope wrote.
The DOJ has used the specter of 20 years in prison that comes with the charge to coerce defendants, Mr. Pope said.
“Sadly, the DOJ has for the last three years used the obstruction charge—which the Supreme Court is now primed to throw out—to pressure January 6 defendants into taking bad plea deals,” he wrote. “The outcomes of many cases would be far different if not for this DOJ malpractice.”
Judge Nichols said the §1512 statute does not apply to the Jan. 6 prosecutions because the cases don’t involve evidence tampering.
Judge Nichols wrote that §1512(c)(2) “requires that the defendant have taken some action with respect to a document, record, or other object in order to corruptly obstruct, impede or influence an official proceeding.”
Judge Nichols threw out the §1512(c)(2) obstruction charge against Mr. Miller on March 7, 2022, Mr. Fischer on March 17, 2022, and Mr. Lang on June 7, 2022.
The current version of the 1512 statute was approved by Congress to close a loophole in cases involving evidence tampering. This came in the wake of the Enron accounting and fraud scandals.
“Congress was faced with a very specific loophole: that then-existing criminal statutes made it illegal to cause or induce another person to destroy documents, but did not make it illegal to do so by oneself,” Judge Nichols wrote in a March 2022 memorandum opinion. “Congress closed that loop by passing subsection (c), and nothing in the legislative history suggests a broader purpose than that.”
Columnist Julie Kelly said she can’t see a scenario where the Supreme Court upholds the unusual use of the law in Jan. 6 cases.
“Hard to overstate the total humiliation of DOJ and 15 D.C. district court judges who upheld 1512c2,” Ms. Kelly wrote on X. “Only one—Judge Carl Nichols—dismissed the count in 3 cases. The beauty here is that DOJ appealed Nichols. If DOJ would’ve left it alone, this wouldn’t be at SCOTUS now.”
The severe prison time that comes with conviction on the obstruction charge was a major factor in the 2022 suicide of defendant Matthew Perna, his aunt said.
Mr. Perna, 37, hanged himself in the garage of his Sharon, Pennsylvania, home after learning the DOJ would seek even more prison time via sentencing enhancers for terrorism.
“I am hopeful and disgusted at the same time,” Geri Perna said in a statement to The Epoch Times after the Supreme Court announcement.
“When my nephew Matthew was charged with the four misdemeanors after January 6, we all thought that this would result in a fine and community service, as most misdemeanors do,” Ms. Perna said. “But when he was later charged with the felony of obstruction, his entire case took a huge turn for the worse.”
Defense attorney Joseph McBride said the novel use of §1512(c)(2) by the DOJ is rooted in “corruption and political hatred.”
Is there going to be a betting pool on how the three Affirmative Action justices will vote?
Defense attorney Joseph McBride said the novel use of §1512(c)(2) by the DOJ is rooted in “corruption and political hatred.”
It sure is. And every last one of those DOJ officials need hanged by the neck until dead.
We would have to expand the list of capital crimes to include abuse of political power.
I’m always uneasy about the go-to response that someone who does something objectionable should die for it. It’s got a real Soviet feel to it.
Here’s a good example of the current ideological difference between conservatives and progressives. The CNN scribe asked Vivek about the abortion pill and if he wanted to ban it, hoping to spark outrage over “denying women healthcare”, when Vivek proceeded to give her a master class on the dangers of the bloated American administrative state …
ABBY PHILLIP: Let me ask you about a little bit of news. The Supreme Court announced that it would hear a case this term that could potentially restrict access nationwide to a widely used abortion drug called Mifepristone. You oppose abortion, but: do you believe that the court should limit the distribution of this drug nationwide?
VIVEK RAMASWAMY: So I think this is a question — it’s the job of the Supreme Court- who would’ve ever thought- to judge the law. This is a case about administrative law, actually. This is less about the abortion question and it’s more about, did the FDA exceed the scope of its statutory authority when it approved Mifepristone on an emergency basis? And these emergency approvals are generally reserved for life saving therapies that need to be brought to market quickly. So this is a symptom, Abby, of what’s going on in the administrative state. The people who we elect to run the government, they’re not even the ones who actually run the government right now. It’s the bureaucrats in those three-letter agencies that are pulling the strings today. So the most important Supreme Court case of our lifetime- and I want people to understand this- came out last term. It’s West Virginia versus EPA. That said, if Congress did not expressly give an agency the right to write a regulation, then that’s unconstitutional. And so it is my opinion — it’s the Supreme Court’s that’ll matter but I’m pretty sure the Supreme Court will come down where I am on this. That the FDA exceeded its statutory authority in using an emergency approval to approve something that doesn’t fit Congress’ criteria for what actually counts as an emergency approval. So, yes, I hope they follow the law. I hope that’s where they come down. And if the people of this country disagree with that, we have a mechanism for that. It’s called the democratic process. Do it through the front door of Congress. And there’s one thing I’m going to do as the next president: it’s to shut down that fourth branch of government, rescind those unconstitutional federal regulations that Congress never actually passed. And yes, lay off 75% of the federal employee headcount. That’s the answer.

He’s smart, but he’s a Cafeteria Constitutionalist—-“I’ll take this Constitutional law but not that one because it wouldn’t let me be president”.
Yep. We have to be careful with him, as with all rich people like that. He’s an ally when he’s an ally.
He’s just so slick and so impressed with himself. Every time I see him I can hear his mommy assuring him that the other kids don’t like him because they are just jealous of him because he’s the smartest boy in the class.
I don’t see that at all. I see a young, very smart, conservative immigrant who could bring a lot of young people to the GOP. Embrace Vivek
Oh, yeah, he can bring a lot to the party and the movement. He is smart and analytical and makes a lot of sense. But he is so cocky and arrogant that he really needs to smooth off some of the rough edges. Yes, he is an immigrant, whose parents as citizens of India conveyed that citizenship to him, while he may or may not also be an American citizen based on the 14th Amendment. Even if he is, it would be as a native citizen, not a natural born citizen.
I’m not sure if he needs hugs
LOL oh I don’t think he needs hugs, and the boastfulness is only because he’s young. Those edges will smooth out over time but I don’t fault anyone for being cocky. Self confidence is a must in this world if you want to make a difference.
A must watch
https://x.com/vivekgramaswamy/status/1735126791142904074?s=46
He is right but not the first person to make these observations.
Well, right now a little Vivek goes a long way
I don’t think he needs hugs but you said to “embrace him”.
Embrace him meaning welcome him. Let’s not kick the new kid on the block. Vivek dissects the Deep State better than any of them, and IMO, the Deep State is our biggest enemy.
Let’s not kick him but at the same time let’s not canonize him. He has a lot of good ideas and he is brash enough and confident enough in his “I’m so much smarter than everyone else that I need to educate them” smugness to be very aggressive in saying what he thinks, I am happy to have him doing it. I’m just not a fan club kind of person, I guess.
The House voted yes to formalize an impeachment inquiry into Joe Bidum. This is not an impeachment vote but apparently the initial step intended to “bolster its legal grounds” for gathering and releasing information. As expected, demoncrats are calling this a waste of time (anyone surprised?).
“This stupid, blundering investigation is keeping us from getting any real work done for the people of America,” Raskin claimed from the House floor before the vote.
I wonder just what “real work” Raskin is referring to (not really)? It seems the more adjectives a person puts in front of or behind an assertion (stupid, blundering), that it somehow changes anything. The idiocy of making any claim of this sort related to this inquiry, especially in light of what is already known, confirms a few things.
First, it amplifies the stupidity of trying to defend the indefensible.
Second, demoncrats are worried just how much this will affect them, both in the in its ability to expand into numerous tangents and, how all of the continuous negative information will damage their long-term fund raising and election potential.
I’m not sure if there is any forethought in the timing of each piece of the process and disclosure of findings in an attempt to inflict the greatest amount of damage to the demoncrat party, -or- if they will simply proceed in a more natural step-by-step manner as things evolve? Either way, I imagine there are many who will be frustrated at the length of time it takes to actually prosecute anyone, if any.
It would be nice, jdge1, but they won’t do anything to him. Be nice if he and his son were found for treason. But they won’t do a thing to him. Just like those DOJ officials, they’ll walk away unscathed.
This is all just a play for show. To try to make it look like the GOP is really serious about pursuing justice.
Then you got the Senate. They’d never get it to pass, anyway. So, why even bother, ya know? The days of justice, truth, and right are long gone in America.
Except, of course, that nothing either Biden has done can be accurately defined as “treason”. That word in law is narrowly defined.
An impeachment hearing is, as you say, just for show. It is just a chance to make the case to the American public that they have a corrupt and venal president who has abused the powers of his elected position to enrich himself and his family. Laws have been broken, trust has been betrayed and it is important for people to understand this. I get it. But the real purpose would be to educate people so they don’t vote for him and I doubt that he will be the candidate so it’s probably just an exercise in futility. He will never be charged because of his age and his mental infirmity. If anything, the Republicans will just make the case that the Dems need a different candidate, and I think I’d rather run against Joe.
I would think allowing a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the country unimpeded can be construed as treason
Yes, and trading secrets with China, as well.
Biden didn’t do that. That was some low-level diversity hire who did that//sarc.

The support and sympathy American LGBTQ people are giving to Palestinians is comical. I particularly loved the sign that read “Allah Loves Equity” held up by three non binary freaks. We all have to realize that Democrats are moving further and further away from reality.
As members of a designated Victim Class they stand in solidarity with other Victims. That’s all that matters to them, The fact that doing so means siding with brutality and viciousness and total disregard for the humanity of others doesn’t matter to them.
They are so foolish and ignorant they think “equity” is just another word for “equality”.
It’s what they’ve been taught. Why would they think otherwise, especially when they are also taught NOT to think otherwise? I wouldn’t want to be a kid today.
This story deserves more attention

Hard to believe she just refuses to answer questions in front of Congress and then abruptly resigns her position at the DOJ. Can there be a more glaring admission of guilt?? And speaking of not answering questions, I have never seen any administration in my lifetime just refuse to answer questions. How many times have we heard Latrine Jean Pierre says from the podium, “I’m just not going to speak to that”??
I haven’t commonly used vulgarities since I was a teenager – until now. Turns out the F-bomb is the perfect word to emphatically draw attention to much of what’s going on right now.
Love it. Civil disobedience is in our DNA. There’s another meme out there where the British are telling a colonist to “give us your gun”, to which the colonist replies “fuck you”. LOL, it’s crass but funny
That’s fitting because our adversaries are crass but not funny.
„If your government does not use deadly force to defend your borders but it will use deadly force against its own citizens to collect taxes and enforce its unconstitutional laws then traitors have taken control of your government.
I fully understand the sentiments and agree, but as a Word Nazi I am also pretty rigid about legal definitions of words. So I am fine with casual use of the words “treason” and “traitors” until someone starts talking about legal remedies for their actions, and then I go back to the legal definitions. Treason is the only crime defined in our Constitution so the Founders were pretty concerned with it being defined and applied in a very restricted way.

Study: The Science™ Pins Climate Change™ on Human Breathing
From the article: (Bill Gates’ words in 2010)
Now I don’t know if this was a Freudian slip or if I’m mis-reading it, but it sounds to me like Gates recognized, even 13 years ago, that vaccines and the healthcare system were two of the ways to lower population.
In the same quote block you reference, Gates also says So you’ve got a thing ……. , CO2, that you want to get to zero, and that’s going to be based on the number of people, the services each person is using on average, the energy, on average, for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy. So let’s look at each one of these, and see how we can get this down to zero. Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero. While the audience found this quite amusing, he never bothers to add that the “number of people” is not included in his analysis of what we need to “get pretty near to zero”.
And just how can “we” get CO2 to “zero”? And why should we even try?
Also, as a hard-core radical Leftist we know that by “reproductive health services” he means advancing the butchery of unborn children.
When pressed about the ideal population of earth, most globalists/elites will put it at 10-50% of what it is now. Some put it as low as 500 million. Unless we have a natural mass extinction event, that’s going to mean killing a LOT of human beings by whatever means necessary. I would bet the vast majority of them have never thought that through.
And what would they accomplish with this? I am used to Libs coming up with half-baked “ideas” (feelz) that seem perfectly logical, until….they don’t.
What it ultimately shows is how very ignorant they all are. And it does make you wonder how, really, the rich one’s made their money. Just a moment’s thought easily disposes of the notion that Earth is too crowded.
Japan’s population density is 854 per square mile. Russia’s is 8. If Russia went up to Japan’s density, there would be 5.6 billion people living where currently 147 million live. And Japan isn’t some dystopian hell hole…sure, their cities are crowded but there are large tracts of wilderness supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life. With nuclear power and improved desalination processes we could open up wide swaths of sparsely populated land to human development. We haven’t even scratched the surface on available resources. Essentially, Earth is limitless as far as humanity is concerned. But here come the super rich Greenies to tell us that most of us have to die.
Just stupid.
And it all always comes back to the compunction of some to control–to control the lives of others, to control the planet, to control the weather, it’s always about control. Which is another reason they gravitate to the Left.
Those rich who want to depopulate the earth fail to understand; all of the wonderful things they’ve become accustom to are created or made available through those people they want to eliminate. All of those services, crops, mined resources, invented and manufactured things will greatly diminish or cease in large part to be available, regardless of whatever notion of wealth they throw at it trying to obtain it. I doubt they fully understand the vastness of what will change or how it will impact their lives. Plus, as has been mentioned here before, why is it rich people always demand depopulation happens to “other people”?
