Never heard of Franklin the turtle until Hegseth posted a meme using the character – apparently a well-beloved children’s book character and the Canadian author is very, very upset that Franklin was used for some based memes. So, be sure to check them out so you can know what is inappropriate:



And, apparently, Franklin has been hanging out with Amazona of late:

So, whatever you do, don’t make any inappropriate Franklin memes. And don’t laugh at them because the Liberals say That’s Not Funny.
So, the Somali community of Minnesota is neck deep in fraud – and, guys, I am confident it is the tip of the iceberg. In fact, my bet is that immigration (legal and otherwise) over the past 20 years is heavily driven by criminal Cartels sending people here, getting them on benefits and then raking off a substantial amount. This is why Blue States are trying to refuse Trump demands to hand over the list of people on welfare…because that would expose the fraud. It can’t be emphasized enough how much theft is driving the opposition to MAGA. Sure, you get your true believers on the Left, but most people involved – especially in leadership – are bought, corrupted and corrupting. Trump is a threat to their gravy train.
I doubt very much we’ll actually go to war in South America. This is all a pressure campaign – ultimately not on any government down there, but on the Cartels who actually run things. El Salvador and Argentina are showing there are patriots in Latin America who can change things by ruthless action. But we can also see how hard it is for one to get in, and how much local and global opposition arises. And outside those few bright spots, it is a morass of cowards and criminals running things simply to keep themselves on the gravy train.
Securing our border and lighting up the mules at sea is rapidly generating an acute crisis. To maintain their position, the Cartels have to bribe the politicians and pay for thugs to go after those who can’t be bribed. What Trump is doing – in my view – with the military build up is putting pressure on people who are starting to feel less and less pressure from the cash-strapped Cartels. They can ease that pressure by either turning over power to patriots, or turning on the Cartels, themselves. It is a high stakes gambit, and we’ll see if Trump can carry it off.
Do you believe this?
I’m not sure that I do (believe it), but then, nothing surprises me anymore.
It is extremely detailed, yet some of the details are odd. For example, the long wait in the dining room prompting JD to go check on things in the kitchen, the SS agent waiting till the last minute to drug the food, and no one noticing what he was doing.
And then I go my go-to response to pretty much anything I read or hear: qui bono? Who benefits if this is true? Who benefits by keeping it secret? Who benefits by printing the account now, in an obscure Substack article?
I could only find one other obscure site that had the same story. Given that it supposedly happened 60 days ago, it’s highly suspect.
It does go to explain why/how some people believe the most bizarre outlandish stories, though. I’m thinking it might be part of the psy-ops stuff Dr. Malone talks about, the planting of ideas and “information” in peoples’ minds.
Another gem from Jeff Childers at Coffee & Covid:
We can count on the spin being TRUMP SLASHES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
This is already a theme that pops up sometimes in the overheated, over-emoting, TDS comments online—-that Trump is destroying the Earth by getting rid of vital EPA standards, and/or letting endangered species be hunted to extinction. Naturally, not a single “journalist” asks a question a real journalist would ask, such as “what regulations have been removed and what is the end result?” or “what animals have been removed from protected lists, and why, and why are they in danger now?”
I also hear Trump is waiving some rules and allowing the Japanese to export to the USA a light pickup truck which will retail at about $23,000. Regulations had kept it out – It wasn’t “safe”, you see? Even though the Japanese drive it a bazillion miles are year with no trouble – and this will put pressure on US automakers to also come out with inexpensive vehicles. This just shows Trump really does understand trade – knows that some of the companies complaining about one thing are perfectly fine with another that benefits them. Trump just told US automakers: make cars. Build. Compete. And in that will come the higher quality vehicles which are less expensive.
Finally!
“Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs, is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosion,” Jake Tapper said on his show.

Brian Cole, the DC Pipe bomb suspect
I understand that Tapper’s script described him as a “white supremacist straight Christian Trump supporter” and Tapper said no, even as a seasoned media whore he wasn’t willing to try to sell that.
Well, you see?, he was white until racism and climate change got hold of him!
On Friday morning, the mainstream media started pushing the narrative that Cole is a Trump supporter who “believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.”
“Here’s (a) problem the democrats have. They pushed the narrative that the pipe bomber was a Trump supporter pissed off about the stolen election, but now we find out that Cole was gathering components for the bomb at least a year before the election. So it couldn’t be a pissed off Trump supporter mad about a stolen election as they kept telling us.”
……………………….
An unidentified FBI agent said in a probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday that Cole allegedly bought multiple items in 2019 and 2020 that were consistent with the components used to make the pipe bombs.
Laugh for the day (NY AG Letitia James commenting on the failure of a Virginia grand jury to re-indict her on bank fraud charges after the original case was dismissed on a technicality)
As a Grand Jury only hears what the prosecution tells it, I would love to see a transcript of that hearing to see what, exactly, they were told about Saint Letitia. A Grand Jury indictment is nothing, more or less, than an opinion based on the information given to the jurors.
As one example, if the jurors are told the technicality still exists, they would naturally fail to indict.
They keep telling us they want to fight. At some point they will cross the line. Be prepared

But “they will want to fight” like the bullies in Kenosha, and then will whine and whimper and play the victim when they are the ones bleeding.
