Suddenly, School Choice: Its Rapid Post-Pandemic Expansion Sets Up a Big Pass/Fail Test for Education
Eight states – including Arizona, Florida, Indiana, and West Virginia – have approved “universal” or near-universal school choice laws since 2021. They open the door completely to school choice by making all students, including those already in private schools and from wealthy families, eligible for about $7,000 to $10,000 in state funding each year for their education.
DP – People who have children in private schools are already paying double. They may as well get their tax money back. However, this somewhat defeats the purpose of private schools if the schools are mandated to take anyone who applies.

The Problem with the Durham Report Most Americans See
Tweet hopper:
There are those who are not buying Ice Cube’s little rant here. We’ll see.
It’s a deal.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
For those who think Trump shouldn’t be POTUS in 2024 because he didn’t fully “drain the swamp” in his first term, allow me to offer some perspective.
Do you remember what it was like in 2017? Do you remember how many people were still completely brainwashed by the TV?
If Trump arrested Deep State actors as soon as he showed up, it would have been chaos, civil war, mass civilian casualties, legitimate threat to NATSEC, breakdown of society, etc.
At the time, a small percentage of the population even knew about the Deep State, let alone believed it was a real thing. Trump and his supporters were mocked relentlessly back then for talking about the Deep State, and now it’s widely recognized as a reality.
A large percentage of Americans believed the MSM at the time that Trump conspired with Russia. On top of that, Trump was hamstrung by the Mueller investigation. If Trump went scorched-earth on the Deep State during this time, it would not have worked. The Leftists were already emboldened to riot due to the BLM insanity. It would have been ugly.
We were on pace to handle it in Trump’s 2nd term, and then they released C19 on the world, the bio-medical police state was implemented, mail-in ballots were sent out en masse, the steal happened, and everything changed.
However, Biden’s disastrous term pretty much confirmed Trump was right about everything, and the American People got a quick 4 year dose of full-blown Orwellian totalitarian dystopia.
This caused a significant portion of the People to wake up to the realities about corruption and degeneration of society that Trump was talking about. The Left, the media, the corporations, all of the elements of the Deep State went completely batshit crazy, exposing themselves to the People.
Now add the optics of Biden weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump over nothing, and all the sudden, if Trump went after the Deep State in his 2nd term, the public would not only understand it, they agree with him.
Then add additional layers, like that Biden admin and their Deep State affiliates are 100% responsible for the war in Ukraine, as they are trying to defend their illegal offshore proxy they created via CIA color revolution in 2014. Funding and arming nazi military forces and dragging the US/NATO into WW3 with nuclear superpower Russia and China waiting patiently in the shadows.
Why will Trump drain the swamp during his next term? Because the People get it now. They see what he was talking about. They had a front row seat to witness it for the last 7+ years.
Trump now has the political ammunition and the global support to do what is necessary and rid the world of the Deep State. And equally as important, the Deep State have lost control of the narrative because of the parabolic takeover of citizen journalism thanks to Elon’s introduction of free speech on Twitter.
Trump didn’t have all this going for him his first time around. Now much more of the world is awake, and more of them will continue to wake as WW3 and nuclear destruction looms over us all.
Trump said it himself. “We are in a position to do that now because Pandora’s Box has been opened. People will say ‘now we get it’”.
The Left are right; if Trump wins 2024, it WILL be a “Retribution Presidency”.

James Woods thinks Dems are plotting to put Newsom in. How would that be accomplished? He’d have to begin as VP. Then if Joe is out of commission for 2024 and Kamala doesn’t run for president, then Newsom is the guy? I haven’t seen Kamala tied to any of the Biden scandals, so they can’t get rid of her that way.
Easily accomplished … Kamela Harris could resign while Joe still resident (she will readily do as told_…
Joe nominates Newsum. then Congress approves … then Joe is removed under Article 25 … viola’
Newsum becomes Resident … a year before the election
I could happen, but what would be the benefit?
He’d be a lame duck from day1. He’d still have to campaign and run. He would be associated for all the bad news that’s about to come in the last gasp to stop maga.
We’d get more time to see what a scumbucket he is.
Out here in CA, we’ve had plenty of time.
Yet you still need more time to get your butt out of there.
snicker
he wants to be the one to turn the lights out 😉
“He’d still have to campaign and run.”
(Remember Biden and the 2020 election?)
Nor’easter NAILED it.
Deep State AND Dumrats INSTALL presidents.
Votes do NOT matter. Vote counters matter. Nov 3, 2020 <<< 
Yup. Tucker is already saying that Biden will be installed in this election.
Or visa versa. Joe is taken out. Kamala assumes power, nominates Newsom for VP. Kamala either resigns with a lot of cash or is taken out because she was never eligible to be President.
Many ways.
NOT our Wolf !!!
Thank you!!! And THANK GOD!!! 😀
Jackson hated the Swamp with the heat of a hundred suns, blaming the city for the death of his beloved wife. Despite serving two terms, his tomb does not mention his Presidency at all.
Jackson died on June 8, 1845 and was laid to rest two days later in the tomb. The inscription on his reads simply, “General Andrew Jackson, March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845.”

Perhaps late summer / early fall.

Enjoy the history, avoid the woke while there. Nashville has its own putrid moments now.
Yea.
Extended I-40 pit stop.
Likely it’ll be an overnight visit, with a long afternoon or full morning at the Heritage.
Perhaps I’ll find something else of interest. stay longer.

IL guvner. Convicted. Prolly BS conviction. (Politics) Trump pardoned, IIRC.

I think he was convicted of trying to buy or sell Obama’s Senate seat. Blago has always been interesting, IMO. He has held views that are similar to ours even though he is a Democrat.
Yup. He was just engaged in standard Chicago politics, but he got caught, and had to go down to keep Obama pure as the driven snow, so that they could fool us all.

It should have stopped at the first one. Everything after that is the churches’ fault.
Rick Santorum tried to warn us.
It appears to slow guy, the “churches”, ALLOW this.
Calling him deranged is meaningful. But what, exactly, is the meaning?
In the case of mad (angry) jack I’ll take this definition…
Deranged : disturbed or disordered in function, structure, or condition.
Like the way he starts with the answer he wants then shuffles and twist things to fit the answer.
Like the way he starts with the answer he wants then shuffles and twist things to fit the answer.
^^^ Perfectly suited for, “show me the man, I’ll manufacture his crime.”
Bit like the AGW cult.
We’ve seen that Trump doesn’t toss around words lightly. The names he uses for people have meaning. He could have used “dishonest” or “rabid” or something, but “deranged” has a different meaning:
adjective
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/deranged
It’s pretty serious for a public person to call someone insane. I wonder what Trump knows.
Yup. Something is up here.
Supreme Court narrowly interprets ban on “encouraging or inducing” immigrants to remain unlawfully in the United States
https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-narrowly-interprets-ban-on-encouraging-or-inducing-immigrants-to-remain-unlawfully-in-the-united-states/
There is further discussion at the link. Bottom line: Hanson lost the case and SCOTUS ruled that intentionally soliciting and facilitating illegal immigration is against the law and does not violate a person’s First Amendment rights.
SCOTUS is scheduled to issue some opinions tomorrow. This article outlines 10 cases that have yet to be decided.
https://amylhowe.com/2023/06/26/entering-the-final-week-with-10-cases-left-to-decide/
The “true threats” case (number 10) looks interesting! Some of the others – not so much.
Yea, I was less than impressed, with what SCOTUS chose to hear, rule on.
Disappointed more like it.
Agree, “true threats”, was the only one of interest.
There’s a lot of great stuff below them. Makes me think that maybe the politicized circuit courts are “withholding cases” from SCOTUS.
good point
They decided an attorney-client privilege case but are holding the opinion.
Can we use this against Briben?
Excellent suggestion! It should be possible to easily prove that he has “intended for an immigrant to come or remain in the U.S. while knowing that is unlawful.”
Oh, the “I Did That!” with Trump – just perfect!
A series of, I did that.
High employment.
Low unemployment. Overall, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian…
Low inflation. Low fuel costs. Build the wall…

Not working we can sniff out the insincerity.
The locomotive in the header is the DeWitt Clinton — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeWitt_Clinton_(locomotive) . It was put in service in 1831 and named after the former Governor of New York, who had died in 1828. The Mohawk and Hudson line (incorporated in 1826) had previously been pulled by horses — you will note that the railcars are essentially carriages.
It should be noted that the Golden Spike marking the Transcontinental Railroad was driven in 1869 — only 38 years later.
This is similar to the Wright Brothers Kitty Hawk flight in 1903 compared to the 1938 introduction of the famed Supermarine Spitfire of the Battle of Britain.
In both cases, there was an explosion of sophistication and ability over a fairly short period of time.
“It should be noted that the Golden Spike marking the Transcontinental Railroad was driven in 1869 — only 38 years later.”

If it was actually made of gold, it was removed about ten seconds after that.
If not by the railroad, then surely by a bystander, as soon as no one was looking 👍😁
It wasn’t actual gold, but was removed shortly thereafter — it’s now at Stanford University.
Leland Stanford was the actual person who drove in the ceremonial “Golden Spike” with a silver hammer.
Stanford University is named after his son.
Amazing how the best way to stifle innovation [such as the Industrial Revolution] is for the government to underwrite it.

YW My oldest son spent his first year of HS there at Henry Ford Academy 🙂 He was one of only a handful of white students in that school as one had to live in Wayne County & so many Detroiters used HFA as a way to get a decent education for their kids there. It wasn’t a bad school but some classes were Very unruly & Nathaniel couldn’t learn in that type of environment (that’s what he told us) w/ his ADHD issues, hence just that one year.
He tried out for basketball but didn’t make the team but later the coach called him after a number of players got scrubbed due to poor academics & he was able to join as a late addition. He was a skinny little pre-pubescent white kid playing with fully grown young black men & it was a Grueling challenge for him. He did develop a decent outside shot & got in a few scores in the handful of games he played in. Fun, but hard, times. He might have had the most family members there cheering for him on U of M’s Dearborn campus, where they played 🙂
One of his coaches was a solid Christian man who said he put those kids through “college level” paces & he was blown away that my son was quite familiar with a number of Christian rap artists. It was a very culturally stretching season for N but so good for him in a school of hard knocks kind of way!
Some of the main parent meetings were held in the scaled down replica of Independence Hall there, so it was Almost like touching a bit of history just being part of that extended institution!
Is this the place that has the bus Rosa Parks was on when she refused to give up her seat? I think this may be the bus.
could be. They had the car where JFK died there one time when I visited but not sure if that was part of their permanent collection…
Yes. Same bus.

“Burisma Accountant, Who Blew Whistle on Biden Crimes, Found Dead”
_____________
I’m thinking that probably qualifies as an assisted suicide.
Isn’t anyone with evidence against the Biden crime family, or the Clintons, or Hussein, who goes public before testifying, or before publishing their evidence, etc., looking for assistance?
Leftists believe in youthinasia (and everywhere else too).
And even if they didn’t, murder-for-hire to protect VSICs (very self-important crims) is part of the Crim party platform. Even before that plank was added, it was always understood.
So anyone who is a ‘whistle-blower’ against Murder, Inc., whose identity is known before testifying or publishing what they know, is like someone in Star Trek wearing a red shirt.
Or someone in a slasher film.
The girl who goes exploring, alone, at night, in the woods, by herself, in the dark, to look for whatever is causing all those blood-curdling screams, and the sound of chain saws, in the distance.
After everyone else in her group has wandered off in that same direction, one by one, never to return.
Because who wouldn’t?
That’s what regular people do.
Besides that, we’re talking about Ukraine, the democrat playground for murder, money laundering, bio-weapon development, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, general atrocities and crimes against humanity.
Both Brandon and his bag man are on public record making direct personal threats against people, for far less than possessing evidence that would expose a tiny sliver of their criminal activities.
She didn’t even have to actually have any incriminating evidence.
For those who are just having thoughts about ending it all, but can’t do it themselves, an increasingly popular alternative is to go public and say you have evidence against the Brandon crime family.
They’ll reach out, and take care of you.
They’re good like that.
Everybody knows.

That’s why they’re doing it, to destroy the private school system, by busing everyone from the public wasteland school system to the private schools.
Then when everyone withdraws their kids from the private schools for home schooling, TCTB will bus everyone to people’s houses, where they’ll vandalize your property until you let them in and teach them.
Just part of the plan, nothing to worry about 👍
As long as Putin is fighting globalists he’s OK with me…
“Enormous power grab: Germany, France want to end veto rights in the EU this year.
In what may be the beginning of the end for European nations, Germany and France are determined to reform national rights, including the EU right of veto, this year. The debate has caused a stir in recent months, and in recent weeks, the measure has been put back on the agenda.
France and Germany are convinced that a large-scale institutional reform of the European Union, including the abolition of the veto on European Council votes, could be achieved this year, French EU Affairs Minister Laurence Boone and German Minister of State Anna Lührmann told Euractiv.
The two ministers said that both countries consider it important to abolish unanimous voting in the European Council in areas such as foreign policy and taxation before the enlargement of the European Union. This could mean, for example, that Brussels would be able to implement a flat tax rate across the EU or even involve itself more deeply in the war, both moves that Hungary has rejected and in some cases even deployed its veto to stop.
Paris and Berlin claim abolishing the veto is a change that is possible without amending the EU treaties, a point hotly contested by a number of European parties, as it would not only give Brussels enormous power but also the largest states, such as Germany and France. This would subsequently allow for the EU to enact a liberal immigration policy, green rules and various other progressive goals without any hindrance from Hungary and other smaller, conservative nations.”

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, June 27, 2023
✟
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
BE MY VOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Thank you for these.
Amen!

Glanced at it briefly.
Smacks of a good reason to not Twatter.
Perhaps extend the thought to FB, Tik, Tok, Instagr…AND them others, for which I have no clue what they are.
Glad I’m not on any of them.
From the article: “However, it’s clear that the idea behind the sweeping system of digital surveillance combined with thousands or even millions of subtle rewards and punishments built into the online experience, is to condition people to censor themselves. In fact, after enough time online, users will lose both the knowledge and the vocabulary they would need to even have politically dangerous thoughts.”

This is exactly why I am using, and with greater frequency, the language they don’t like.
Fag, homo, tranny, all of it. Bringing the old vocabulary back, and normalizing it again.
I sense what they are describing above, everywhere, all the time, and the instinctive response is to go the opposite direction, to do more of what they attempt to silence. What they call ‘politically dangerous’ is what we ought to be doing.
If we want to get back to normal, we have to do what was normal, back when things were normal.
That must include re-stigmatizing perversion and the grotesquely immoral.
A large part of the battle takes place in the arena of language, at least as far as influencing the ostriches (normies) is concerned.

Some of my ancestors were amongst those Scots-Irish. There are other folks on here with similar lineages to the backgrounds of those patriots. Our SC QTree posters probably know the history well along with the Santee/PeeDee region from which his work for America originated.
Currently we make the same choice from the precipice that Marion and his patriots as well as those who sided with the Tories made. The choice identifies which side you are on and all are revealed for who they are. There is no neutrality. So yes, seeing the precipice is always necessary.
And it’s always a glorious sight.
I only ever heard of Santee in The Patriot movie. So much deep AND fascinating history in America!
I have been refraining from posting these, but this one is an exception since it involves the enemies of the American people.
Another one gets what he deserved.
I do not know if he deserves it but he seems to have been delusional believing the jabs were good.
Reality is a harsh master.
PC kills, as they say.
Skepticism is necessary – particularly against the “politically correct” – like the Pfizer-NIH narrative on vaccines.
True
“Preventive medicine specialist, public health specialist, vaccination expert”…
I’m sorry for the loss of someone who obviously had a lot to contribute, but this is a
🚨warning🚨that we can’t trust the “experts.”
The politically favored lack of skepticism toward the jabs was unwise.

TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 2023Good morning! Today we note that history repeats itself in odd ways. On this day in 1905, Russian sailors aboard the battleship Potemkin mutinied and called for the overthrow of Czar Nicholas. Their coup attempt failed. Now, on the same weekend 118 years later, another Russian mutiny has failed.
Fascinating.
FBI Accused of Threatening Jan. 6 Dissenters
By Noah DeGarmo – Staff Writer
Jun 27, 2023
https://dallasexpress.com/national/fbi-accused-of-threatening-jan-6-dissenters/
The FBI threatened to fire agents for criticizing the bureau’s biased approach to investigating the January 6 Capitol protests, according to an agency whistleblower’s allegations.
The whistleblower reportedly claimed FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate threatened to fire employees who said the agency’s investigation into the events in the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, was notably different from its investigation into the Black Lives Matter protests that occurred throughout the nation following the killing of George Floyd.
The anonymous FBI whistleblower claimed in an affidavit to Congress that Abbate threatened employees during a February 2021 video teleconference with agents in charge of the bureau’s 56 field offices, one of which is in Dallas.
According to the affidavit, Abbate heard some employees were questioning the FBI’s response to January 6 and contrasting it “with the response to the post-George Floyd protests and riots in the summer of 2020.”
“Abbate told the audience that anyone who questions the FBI’s response to his decisions regarding the response to January 6th did not belong in the FBI and should find a different job,” the document alleges. “He stated that the FBI’s response to January 6th was consistent with the response to the Summer 2020 riots.”
The deputy director reportedly challenged all employees who did not agree to call him “personally and he would set them straight.”
The whistleblower added that they “have never seen a direct threat like that any other time.”
“It was chilling and personal, communicating clearly that there would be consequences for anyone that questioned his direction,” they shared.
FIBbers are lousy liars.
Tyrants.
When they don’t have the law and authority, they resort to threats and intimidation. Always the indicator of criminality.
Some people cannot handle the power given to them. Seems to be getting worse .
And many times, those are the people who want and seek the power.
That is true the rest of people do not need power to feed and find their identity.
Thank you!!!
Walls are closing in!
Somebody said this mockingly about the Biden regime media on Twitter today, and it was so perfect, I LOLed!

The faith will live on in home churches and in the heart.

That same queoir, erm, choir (the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus) long ago performed “Walking ’round In Women’s Underwear” at a Christmas(!) concert, to the tune of “Winter Wonderland” …. 😡 😡 😡 😡
Had to have been 40 or 50 years ago now…..
“Equality” is not enough for them; they want superiority, total control, and the eradication of the traditional family, as well as the eradication of the church.
Pergamon: the SF Gay Area…
I think they squandered our tolerance not tolerant any longer. It is like everything I thought if I do not bother them they are not bothering me and we live our own life.
This does not work any longer because they invaded my space and the space of children. My failure being tolerant.
““Walking ’round In Women’s Underwear”” I thought that was “just” a Rush L. parody song 🙄
“NYCPride Marchers ” were effective showing even the hardest lefty what the intentions are by the pride comunity.
I hope that any caring parent rejects this agenda forcefully by protecting their kids. This is a family affair and community to protect the children.
Another day.
Another reason to NOT visit NYC.

World leading diamond company De Beers Group advertising supports HuffPost woke agenda and vitriolic, leftist propaganda.
https://www.floridafamily.org/full_article.php?article_no=1094
BuzzFeed is HuffPost’s parent company. As you can see from the BuzzFeed stock chart, the company is crashing. BuzzFeed took control of HuffPost from Verizon in early 2021. Verizon all but gave HuffPost away to BuzzFeed in order to eliminate HuffPost’s annual losses of around $20 million. Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed CEO said. “Though BuzzFeed is a profitable company, we don’t have the resources to support another two years of losses.”
HuffPost.com is a leading leftist propaganda machine in America. CNN garners up to 500K viewers on a good day. On the other hand HuffPost has approximately 1.5 million visitors per month many of whom have signed up for the leftist’s sites push notifications.
HuffPost has too many leftist gaslighting articles to report in one article or email. However, here is one example. On November 24, 2023 HuffPost published an article that once again falsely claimed that Tucker Carlson favors Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s. The article is titled Kinzinger: Wagner Leader’s Russia Challenge A ‘Massive Blow’ To Tucker Carlson. HuffPost is deliberately tarnishing Tucker Carlson in the eyes of leftist readers with lies.
HuffPost.com feeds its readers with deceitful and hateful propaganda which likely inspires disdain toward other Americans and promotes Islamist propaganda. Huffpost.com routinely publishes many venomous articles that inflame negative attitudes towards Christians, Jews, American troops, police and white people. These articles certainly inspire division at the least and disdain for other American citizens at the worst. HuffPost publishes dangerous Islamist propaganda that has defended misogynistic Sharia law, defended the Muslim Brotherhood, fundraised for the Council on American Islamic Relations, blamed Christians for worldwide conflict with Muslims, promoted an anti-Semitic blog and encouraged Islamist demagoguery. Examples of HuffPost’s vitriolic, leftist hate and Islamist propaganda articles are posted here at this floridafamily.org article.
Worldwide leading diamond company De Beers Group has advertised its Forevermark and Lightbox Jewelry at HuffPost off and on for years. The De Beers Group website states “We’re the world’s leading diamond company, owned 85 per cent by Anglo American and 15 per cent by the Government of the Republic of Botswana.” Florida Family Association sent numerous emails to express concern to De Beers Group and Anglo American officials regarding its advertising support for HuffPost. However, the company continues to advertise. De Beers Group certainly has the right to advertise on whatever shows it chooses. Likewise, you have the same right to voice concern and not patronize companies that support racist, anti-white program content.
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to encourage De Beers Group and majority owner Anglo American officials to stop supporting the woke agenda and vitriolic, leftist propaganda at Huffpost.com.
Click here to send your email to encourage De Beers Group and majority owner Anglo American officials to stop supporting the woke agenda and vitriolic, leftist propaganda at Huffpost.com.
Huffpo knows that the people know, thusly where they had a comment section for every story, they have none now going on some 3 to 6 years. Same across the board for all but a very tiny amount of leftists sites.
Added to top line of letter.
“When a site like Huffpo widely stops allowing comments on it’s site, it’s past time you stopped supporting it.”
The puffed Ho…
I’ve been saying that for decades.
Shot from guns…..
Hopefully HuffPo’s influence will wane.
(That November 24, 2023, date must be a typo.)

Well, it could be.
Is Being Conservative Healthier?
S.A. McCarthy
June 24, 2023
https://washingtonstand.com/commentary/is-being-conservative-healthier
A recent scientific study is declaring conservative women are more attractive than leftist women. The great question posed by this finding is one that science cannot answer: Why?
A Danish study published in Scientific Reports in March used artificial intelligence to analyze thousands of photos of Danish political candidates and discovered that “For females … high attractiveness scores were found among those the model [program] identified as likely to be conservative.” The AI program found that left-wing women who were analyzed typically displayed contempt and were considered less attractive by the AI program’s standards. Those findings matched up with rankings performed separately by humans.
The study’s authors went on to write, “Attractiveness was not the only correlate of model-predicted ideology. We also found that expressing happiness is associated with conservatism for both genders.” Both conservative men and women were found to smile more, while leftist politicians of both sexes displayed contempt and neutrality in their facial expressions.
The study’s authors posited that their findings are most important in considering potential invasions of privacy on the part of AI. While ethical considerations over the use of this new technology are crucial, of course, another important question to ask is what these findings mean about conservative and leftist people themselves and the lifestyles that they lead.
We have more fun!
Yikes, might be getting ahead of Michaelh here…😮😏😁 anyway…2 of 10 the rest in the thread reader.

Just another institution opposed to America.
We have been paying for our own demise with tax dollars and by supporting uniparty activities.
Infiltration versus invasion.. Been going on for a very long time.
I worked in a university library for about 10 years. Libraries attract some of the weirdest people you’ve ever met.
Man, DP, I am glad I am not a book under the age of 18.
Communists and Fascists have a thing controlling access on reading good books. They only want people to read propaganda.
50 years ago, this little southern town used “Friends of The Library” – a volunteer group of mostly Republicans who worked at the library without pay … Well, the DIMs decided we were depriving citizens jobs … so they had us disbanded and the County budget grew, and grew. Same with ‘candy stripers at the then county-owned hospital … when HCA came in and built a much-needed hospital.
We gave up our sovereignty decades ago, bit by bit starting at the city level … and made it possible for CoC to become powerful …
like frogs in the warm water … to start
Libraries has fallen deep in ethics and moral standards. I hope parents rebell or buy their kids the books that are healthy for their age. My husband and I always believed buying our kids books from early age. The love of reading books carry on into adulthood.
So the ALA is not into that Freedom of Speech thing.
Libraries paralleled ACLU on the road to communism.

“Didn’t expect, bitches?” or the essence of the Saturday manifestation based on available facts. Taking advantage of confusion of the West and AFU from the “mutiny in a country with nuclear weapons,” Russia transferred its most combat-ready grouping to a neighboring country. Not only in our army, but perhaps in the rest of the world.
At the moment, the strength of the army of Belarus is about 45 thousand people and about 300 thousand in reserve. This army has never fought, in its entire history, and we can assume its actual combat readiness. Now, the Company’s specialists will tell and show what a modern war looks like. And will teach.
Because Bat’ka realized that he would not be able to stay away from conflict between Russia / Ukraine + 50 countries. Belarus is next.
Special greetings to Poland. The Poles planned to join the conflict in the event of our counteroffensive. Now they have a seasoned, battle-tested army in their underbelly, capable of moving very quickly “at the pace of a blitzkrieg” and winning battles in urban areas and beyond. And there is one nuance, as in the old joke – if Poland has to fight with the PMC, it is not a given that the rest of NATO members on the Council will support and provide active assistance to the Poles. Find reasons to refuse. Because this brazen and angry “private military company” suddenly turned out to be shielded by a nuclear umbrella and it is quite possible to receive a dozen tactical charges in response to aggression. And maybe not tactical, depending on the situation.
Kiev also big hello. It should expect to be cut off from the West on land. The Balts should forget about Kaliningrad, in general, don’t even think about it.
Such a squiggle formed in the heart of Europe. Didn’t expect, bitches?”
My trick for cleaning up after cutting hot peppers:
Sprinkle some baking soda on your hands and add a bit of water. Scrub your hands really well with the paste. It seems to neutralize the burn, so I don’t accidentally get it in my eyes.
I was just going to invest in restaurant gloves for when I chop.
I’ve considered it, but I don’t like wearing gloves!
Even in winter, I wear fingerless ones.
If the peppers are hot enough (e.g. Carolina Reaper), they’ll end up that way anyway 😀
There are chili-corers that can remove the seeds and veins… (but that takes away all the heat and fun 🙂 )…. another thought would be any kind of grease-cutter, like the citrus stuff for mechanics…
(then that’s probably irritating, too)…
Not as irritating as a Carolina Reaper!
Or a Phaal 😀 like at Brick Lane (hope this vid of the kitchen posts)..
[I had one in Scotland a while back, asked for it extra hot, they took it as a challenge, and my Scottish teammates wouldn’t (or couldn’t, as they knew better 🙂 ) even eat it… best curry I’ve ever had, helped with a bit of Raita to cool things a bit.
Worst mistake is carbonated beverages, be they beer, cola, or tonic water… The curry does burn its way through, though…]….
And one from the real Brick Lane in London, City Spice
(he should have started with a Lassie or a Raita as “insulation”)…
My DH eats habanero peppers just out of hand. The guy is a maniac. You hot sauce guys blow my mind.
Capsaicin is good for you! 🔥 🌶 ⛽
Something like a reaper a day keeps the Reaper away 😀
Lol! If I ate one, I fear I would make the swift acquaintance of the Reaper!
Ditto!
I have always used gloves for handling hot peppers, esp. when gardening or chopping … and (real) lemon juice for hands after removing gloves … 😂
I have hand wash with lemon seem to take care after hot pepper cutting. Used to have special hand wash for kitchen same result. Is also good handling garlic or fish.
I am going to try the baking soda.
DP, your hands will sweat uncontrollably and have skin problems.No way for the skin to breathe.
Thank you for the good idea 😪 😂
🙂
Use disposable gloves and you never have to be concerned about your eyes.
There’s different grades of disposable gloves. Select carefully!
Oh love Aubergine, this is why I never get near a hot pepper.
Wonderful meals can be had with our good old American recipes!
Well, when I was young, the only “hot” food in my grandma’s kitchen was hot pepper vinegar, which the brave put on their turnip or collard greens! But not me!

Both positive AND, thought the bottom line was funny.
But this is exactly what is being pushed by the most openly hostile members of NATO — namely UK Foreign Minister James Cleverly and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. At the same time the Brits are nearly as mad at President Joe Biden as they are at Putin himself.
Why? Because Biden is the one that blocked UK Defense Minister (and IQ 60 mouth-breathing moron!) Ben Wallace from taking over for Jens Stoltenberg as NATO’s General Secretary. This was supposed to happen next month. It’s been put on hold and Stoltenberg has been urged by Biden to stay on for another year.
The Brits are pushing the world into war.
Wallace becoming NATO Chief would ensure this.
The only good news here is that France’s military, as much as likely the American’s, would rather be caught dead in a bathroom with an underaged hooker and pile of blow than have a Brit running this war.
(OK, warped, but still funny.)
Ha! Completely agree with your Door No. 3.

Wow!
Ground report: I decided I cannot do tech writing/editing contracts with fed gov anymore. I neither trust or respect what those at the top are doing. So in rethinking how I want to stay busy, I settled on creating a curation website with social media groups in Facebook and Twitter to start with. I was able to get the https://www.celebratefreedom.us domain and prepaid for the next three years. Our 250th anniversary of our republic is 3 years away and hopefully, people could use this as a central site or social media group to see what others at the family/local/state level doing to celebrate. Stress levels are a little high for me so this site won’t be a place for politics, but for positive encouragement.
I have the preliminary home page designed and accessible. I’m using semicolonweb’s Canvas HTML5 templates that lets me do stuff far beyond my own skillset. The filters are working and were much simpler to customize than I had expected.
I would love to have any suggestions or contributions. These three items: website, twitter acct, and facebook group are keeping me busy. If anyone has the time and inclination to host a group on other social media sites, I would be thrilled to add a link on my website and visit sometimes. There’s Gab and Truth Social plus Rumble. I did set up my own Locals account with Stripe for ecommerce. I need a good logo and later might make t-shirts and hats to sell. Catturd told us that he can’t make a profit from the nice catturd mugs he had made. He found someone in the US to make them but they weigh about a pound, so with shipping and cost, he can’t afford to make more.
I don’t want to recreate cool things that are already available on the Internet, but just point to those places and then write my own web pages for subjects that deserve more content. Right now, here’s the filters (or general categories): Celebrate, Explore, Faith, History, Inspire, Learn, Places, Resources, Self-Reliance, and Strive. Faith will get its own page with new content and links to existing sites. I’m working on a Self-Reliance page and will spotlight my school friend’s beautiful garden and tips she’s sharing with us on Facebook. I could see sharing healthcare tips you guys share.
Okay, back to staying busy! Loved your post today, DePat!!!
Looks great!
Thank you, barkerjim!!
Very cool. We can do some links here, etc. I like that you’re getting a 3-year start on this!
Starbucks did a bunch of Made In America coffee mugs that we bought. They’re strong and last forever. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Not sure who made them, but I think they’re in Ohio.
Wow, that would be wonderful Wolf! I remember catturd talking about how much time he spent finding someone who could make his mugs in the USA. I have one of his and think he has more and might sell them to “littermates” who listen to his and Jewels Jones’ daily chat show. I listen on Rumble. It is good to know there is a manufacturer or three out there with that ability.
President Trump mentioned it again recently and had organized a federal org to plan from the top down, which gave me the idea.They are not very active in the OBiden admin and I just think our celebrations should be bottom up. https://america250.org I don’t want government deciding how we want to celebrate. We can plan these things outside government control.
Check out the top of the sidebar!
Eeeep, you’re the best Wolf! Thank you so much. Even though this is just a start, it already has links to some cool things like the history, art, and trains. I love the trains. I need to find a post by an art council who had a benefit event for artists to create scenic landscapes on private property. I think they would be given a box lunch. Americans are creative people and we should focus on all the good Americans offer.
Are you familiar with Whyte notation for trains? It comes in handy in a lot of situations, like “what kind of locomotive did they have at that place? Oh, an American, 4-4-0.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whyte_notation
Thank you, cthulhu! No, I haven’t run across Whyte notation. I’m saving this to add to a Trains page because the is a lot of cool stuff about them. I’d say it’s in my top 5 topics pages to write for the site.
Thought I replied to you, but don’t see it now so thanks cthulhu! I’ve saved a copy of your post in the Trains folder to give you a hat tip when I write up the Trains page. hehe you guys are wonderful!!!

Great, thank you Wolf! So now, I’ve started a trains folder and a swag folder to save all this info and get it grouped. That way, when I have time to pursue each task, I’ll have all the related info and provide sourcing or at least a hat tip, as appropriate. I’ll save this article to provide a source.
I wonder how the mug maker has done through all these dicey times. I’ve saved a local copy of the article, Wolf. I think I should have a link to the article and then it would be interesting to follow-up 11 years later to see how they are doing now. I don’t know where East Liverpool is as compared to where the train derailed. If we only had news people digging into these. I had talked with editors at Epoch Times in the past but I would have needed to be an author and that means traveling all around Virginia. Too much travel for me at my age. Perhaps someone there would be interested in follow-up article though. So many ideas!!
I forwarded the link to editors at Epoch Times in case it interests one of their regional reporters to follow up. I also added my new website address, twitter, and FB account and group IDs to my email signature. hehe…

Thank you, TT! i have trouble even remembering what a 250th anniversary is called. hehe… it is more than a mouthful for me: Semiquincentennial but it’s a big deal to me and I hope we hold onto our freedom for at least the next three years. 😎 So I want to spread seeds of freedom in any way I can.
The timing is really good to put the skids under the communist fail-coup and ship it back to 1917. 😉
Ship it back to 1916 and then abort it. Save a lot of grief and lives.
Yes, we love our God-given freedom and the communists cannot take it away.
That’s the first time I’ve heard of semiquincentennial. Half of quin (5) centennial (100), I guess. I just looked it up on Wiki, and that’s what it says, too. Dictionaries don’t even have it. But I think we should start using it. And yes, it’s a big deal for America!
What a good idea! Congratulations!
Thank you, RDS!
BEST OF LUCK to you, Barb !
I hope your positive energy starts BRUSHFIRES* !

Propaganda blooms as idiots when ‘planted’ …
Guess Blinken missed what the internal division in Russia is all about.
Putin’s Plan vs Putin’s Plan on Steroids and Steroids just got a nod. 😮😏😆😅🤣😂🤣
Blinken couldn’t find his way out of a wet paper bag… if Cookie Monster was holding it!
An association comes to mind regarding the bullshit Sec.Blinken spreads:
From the movie Cold Mountain:
Ruby Thewes: [about her father] “Oh, he’s so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.”
Great movie. Ruby was played perfectly.
That movie is one of my favorites. I knew women like Ruby growing up. Renee Zellwegger was spot on.
“At LAST somebody in the Fake News programming makes the Manafort connection.”
Oh my…anybody remember Alexander van der Zwaan & Skadden Arp/White House Counsel, Attorney Greg Craig and Former American approved Ukraine Presidential candidate Yulia Tymochenko?
Anybody remember Crossfire Fury, Ukraines NABU anti-corruption organization & its Director, Artem Syntyk, US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovich and corrupt US Judge, Amy Berman Jackson’s role in both the van der Zwaan and Manafort takedowns?
Paul Manafort’s involvement with Ukraine got lost in all the noise of Crossfire Hurricane, but if anyone is interested, I’d be happy to pull together some aggregated information as a reminder that Manafort’s takedown was coordinated and had nothing to do with FARA non-compliance.
that would be Very Interesting AND Illuminating, TY 🙂

2008-2014 – The precursor years…..
Meet former White House Counsel, Attorney Greg Craig. When President Bill Clinton was accused of having sex (not sex?) with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval office, the Attorney hired by Bill Clinton was Greg Craig.
In 2008 during President Obozo’s campaign, Obozo hired Greg Craig, and upon Obozo’s inauguration on January 20, 2009, Greg Craig became the White House Counsel.
During this same time frame, Legal Firm, Skadden Arp was building a brand new division in their law firm specifically for Greg Craig and after less than one year as White House Counsel, Greg Craig left the White House and took the position as the Director of the Ukrainian Political Division at the Skadden Arp Law Firm.
In 2009, two candidates were beginning to campaign for the seat of President of Ukraine. Candidate number one was Victor Yanukovych. Candidate number two was Yulia Tymoshenko.
Viktor Yanukovych was the current Prime Minister of Ukraine, a pro-Russian who had formerly served as the Governor of the Donetsk Oblast.
Yulia Tymoshenko was a Ukrainian business woman who made her bones in the gas industry and her company became the main importer of Russian gas. Tymoshenko was in partnership with Bill Clinton’s best friend forever, Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk. By 1995-1997 Tymoshenko was listed as one of the richest business people in Ukraine and in 2009 she had the full backing of the United States for her Presidential run.
In 2010, Viktor Yanukovych, by a 3 1/2% point difference, defeated Yulia Tymoshenko.
Tymoshenko, as leader of the Batkivschyna political party was appointed by Yanokovych as Ukraine’s Prime Minister and Tymoshenko immediately began to abuse the power of the Prime Minister’s office to undermine Yanukovych.
Tymoshenko was the Ukrainian spearhead working with Victoria Nuland and the US State Department to foment and bring about the Orange Revolution and Tymoshenko intended to unseat Yanukovych by crook or by hook.
In 2011, Tymoshenko was charged by the Ukraine criminal courts for “abuse of power” and she was imprisoned by the Yanukovych administration. Much uproar by the West and the US State Department accusing Yanukovych of a “politically motivated persecution” of Tymoshenko.
Enter Paul Manafort and Skadden Arp Law Offices.
According to legal documents filed during the trial of Manafort’s partner, Rick Gates, it is revealed that Manafort arranged for the Ukrainian government to hire Skadden Arps to produce a report in 2012 examining the legitimacy of the prosecution of a Yanukovych rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. According to court filings, Manafort and Gates reportedly used an offshore account to “funnel $4 million to pay for the report,”
Director/Attorney Greg Craig oversaw Skadden’s review of Tymoshenko’s prosecution, which largely defended the prosecution and conviction of Tymoshenko, contradicting the view held by the U.S. and the European Union that the case against her was politically motivated. Human rights groups criticized the report as a white wash.
On February 24, 2014 the Orange Revolution resulted in a coup against President Yanukovych. He fled the country and immediately thereafter, Yulia Tymoshenko was released from prison in Ukraine.
Six months later, Yulia Tymoshenko is working with the US State Department:
(Interfax – October 7, 2014) Ukraine’s Batkivshchyna party leader Yulia Tymoshenko and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland met in Kyiv recently to discuss the implementation of the September 5 Minsk agreements offering steps to settle the conflict in south-eastern Ukraine.
Real good memory jogging stuff, thanks for posting that.
Yes indeed … thanks so much …
TY !
EXCELLENT WORK !
Loved this one!
The Florida Police Benevolent Association formally endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in his presidential bid on Monday, deeming him as someone who will “make public safety a top priority in the White House.”

I’m in SW FL. I just asked a local officer that I know if he supports Trump or DeSantis. He said “Trump has all our support but DeSantis wasn’t going to give additional funding if the bosses didn’t do this”.

Sounds like meatball is blackmailing for support.
DeSatan is morally bankrupt… not qualified to lead our country… or even as dogcatcher, for that matter…
I guess thats why his bank acct is so much bi$$er.
Mainly it matters who they actually vote for behind the partition..now whether it gets counted or not is another story
I’m not counting on it …
Good snark.
Into infinity!
LMAO!!! That’s the NAKED TRUTH right there!
👍
No, separate cages please … they have too much fun together…
Time for pepper spray, etc. …..
Or maybe a “Garland” tied between…….
😀
I see this quite often (c), does anybody know what it’s meaning is.
Example…
“Putin on the leadership of PMC “Wagner” – “I hope that no one stole anything or stole less, but we will deal with it all ” (c)
LOL! He’s setting up Wagner to be responsible for any “retaliatory nukes” should the West try dumping isotopes or bombing that nuclear power station.
SMART.
Good grief I never thought it was that !
I thought it was about money.
IMO, at the moment, I believe that Putin and Prigozhin “stung” the CIA, NATO, and rest of the West.
The c stuff I think was real Simplicious had the video of them being arrested, and a box that took two men to carry it. Of course it could have been play acting.
That might have been the billions the US paid Proz, being delivered to TR
Looked like they had a Geiger counter with them.
That has been my position from the beginning.
The media and politicians try to portray Vlad as weak, dumb, and struggling. I find that ridiculous.
Yup. Propaganda is all that is. Putin has not been in power this long, and popular with most Russians, by being weak, dumb, or struggling.
I believe Putin is talking about money … like the $!,000 Pentagon pays for a hammer… (that’s theft!)
Well they did find a lot of cash money in the Wagner offices, but the other meaning fits as also.
This would be especially amusing if NATO/Ukraine encouraged and financed Prigozhin’s “insurrection” and Putin has all the tapes / receipts.
He’s talking about the catering and other contracts Proz had with the Russian MOD …
Oh, I thought WM was pointing to it being something else.
I am pointing to something else. I love the game being played here, but I’m fully convinced that it’s a game.
If people who favor Russia want to accept this all at face value, or at least to appear to do so, that’s great, but I am more convinced than ever that it’s kayfabe that has spun Washington and Brussels around until they’re dizzy.
I can scream “It’s a coup!” with the best of them, but I hardly believe it, because I’m enjoying the strategy and tactics too much. Russia didn’t “accidentally” do all this great positioning for Russia. Although I’m sure that half of CIA fully believes it.
I think it was a sting, just as Larry and Martyanov believe…
As long as they don’t barf while they’re spinning, I’m OK with that…
But they are fed from the pits of HELL, and I don’t want them running Europe in any way, shape, or form EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Hey Aubergine!
This is still blowing people’s minds on Twitter.
She posted this as well.
Thanks, Wolf! I was going to go post it myself until I scrolled. You rock!
Mark 10:13-16:
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
I was hoping that someone here would share A’s crucial post there! Thank you!!!
Wow! That’s good!
The housing market is still way overinflated. If 100s or 1000s of houses start to sell, then more people can get into a 1st time home as others may want the former bnb upgrades.
I had never given thought to the fact that people invest in Airbnb properties. I’m familiar with people renting out spare rooms or garage apartments in their homes, but in those cases, they are already paying the mortgage and property taxes and aren’t taking on a whole new set of expenses.
I didnt think it was so widespread. So they flip a house but turn it into an unoccupied hotel.
Locally we have very very large houses ($1 mil +) turned into those rentals. Then they get trashed by house party crews. I havent heard about it since everything completely reopened post covid, but this article only notes concentrated areas. Lots more homes can be flooding the market.
Have looked into AirBnb for pit stops while traveling.
Vast majority seem to be apartments / condos, followed by homes.
Some “rooms” that would be shared with either owner or another AirBnb guest. No thanks here.
Most places get very high ratings.
Lower cost than a hotel. commonly with washer and dryer, full kitchen…
—
As I narrowed my search, it became pretty obvious, some AirBnb “hosts” have multiple homes or apartments listed.
Whether they own or lease the properties, no idea.
Stoltenberg getting a bit frayed around the edges…
“NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: What we have seen in Russia in recent days has demonstrated the fragility of the German regime. It shows weakness. Excuse me? [[German Defense Minister Pistorius: Not the German regime!] Oh, sorry! The Russian regime. Sorry! We see the weakness of the Russian regime.”

Paul Manafort – (Page 2 of ?????)
December 2015 – Ukrainian editor of Pravda Ukraine, Serhiy Leschenko is invited to the White House.
Leschenko’s meeting was hosted by Mike Carpenter:
Michael Carpenter is senior director of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. He is a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia and foreign policy advisor to Vice President Joe Biden.
January 2016 – Appointed in 2015 under the Biden Vice-Presidency, Artem Sytnyk is the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. He is invited to the White House.
Sytnyk’s WH meeting included the DOJ’s Regional Director for Eurasia from the Office of Prosecutorial Development and Training, Catherine Newcombe. Also included Jeffrey Cole, Resident Legal Advisor US Embassy in Ukraine, a federal prosecutor.
Syntyk’s meeting was hosted by Eric Ciaramella. Ciaramella was McMaster’s assistant (National Security Council) and was the “whistleblower” with second hand knowledge (via Fatman Vindman) of the “perfect telephone call” that led for calls of Impeachment against President Trum
January 2016 – The FBI Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section located within the Criminal Division at the FBI Washington Headquarters opens a CRIMINAL investigation into Paul Manafort.
FBI Agent in Charge, Bruce Ohr participates in the discussions concerned allegations that Manafort had engaged in money laundering and tax evasion while acting as a political consultant to members of the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian politicians.
On March 11, 2016, all the work that FBI “under-cover employee” Carter Page did to assist the FBI in their prosecution comes to fruition and Russian Evgeny Burylakov is found guilty.
On March 14, 2016, while in Italy, George Papadopolaus is introduced to Professor Mifsud
March 28, 2016 Paul Manafort joins the Trump campaign.
On or about April 18, 2016 Perkins Coie Attorney Michael Sussman working for the DNC & Hillary Clinton for America campaign and Perkins Coie Attorney Marc Elias working for the DNC & the Hillary Clinton for America campaign, called in Crowdstrike’s Chief Operating Officer, Shaun Henry regarding an alleged computer hack on the DNC Server. By April 22, 2016 Crowdstrike writes a report and declares that Russian hackers have “exfiltrated” data.
July 31, 2016 – Crossfire Hurricane is officially announced. Crossfire Hurricane was the overall CIA/FBI/DOJ operation against Citizen, then President Elect and continuing into the Presidential Administration of Donald J Trump.
August 10, 2016 – The Steele Dossier “Report 2016/95” notoriously stated that there was a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” between Trump campaign and “Russian leadership”, run through Manafort and Carter Page, arising because Putin “hated and feared” Hillary Clinton. The Report also mentions campaign aide George Papodopolas by name.
The FBI uses this August 10 report as predicate to legitimizer existing “off the books” investigations into Papodopolas, Page & Manafort.
Crossfire Dragon – was the surveillance operation against CIA operative & FBI employee Carter Page
Crossfire Typhoon – was to damage relations involving the proposed Cyprus pipeline and targeted George Popadopalous.
Crossfire Fury – was the operation to take out Ukranian opposition Paul Manafort

Crossfire Wind – was the operation to disable Walid Phares and hamper Trump’s Middle East agenda.
August 15, 2016 – Serhiy Leschenko is provided with the infamous Paul Manafort “Black Ledger” and prints an expose regarding Manfort’s alleged money laundering. Leschenko has conveniently been gifted the “Black Leger” by US Ambassador Marie Yovanovich who received the “Black Ledger” from the director of the National Bureau of Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine who is fully under the charge of the US Ambassador, Marie Yovanovich.
This will be my final Manafort post on today’s forum…I’ll try to continue on tomorrow’s forum.
Certainly will be looking forward to it. Getting more detail here than I knew existed and you lay it out expertly with just the right jabs. I’m thinking once finished this might need it’s own page. Thank you.
AGREED !
Thank you para, I really appreciate your interest in the information.
Have you thought about putting it all together and posting it as an article, so it’s all in one place and easy to access.
Correction: August 12: The Confidential informants name is Stefan Halper..not Eric…my apologies.
“August 12, 2016 – FBI “Confidential Source” Eric Halper delivers to the FBI a report wherein he names Walid Phares and Michael Flynn”
Is he related to Stephan Halper?
edit I see you corrected the name from Eric to Stefan below 🙂
:0) So many names….so little time….Sorry for the confusion Valerie, my brain said Stefan, my fingers typed Eric and I missed it in my pre-post proofing….
You did GREAT Work there!!! I just happened to recall Stefan H because I did a post, jumping off of Sundance’s work back in the day, & it got more hits than Any blog post I’ve ever written I think purely cause I had SH’s name in the title & that was in the “beginning” of naming him publicly.
It’s almost impossible to keep track of the many players & personalities & all the duplicity of the deep state in these many illegal, immoral, & unconstitutional maneuvers against Truth, Freedom, AND America!
I recall this post being so profound in the deep dive exposing so many people & machinations, truly revelatory, at least to me!

I think he actually exposed a lot of Ukrainian connections there too so it would be interesting to revisit his work given all that’s been learned these last 5 years too!
OK the apelbaum post above is deleted AND wayback machine has excluded the site from archiving…go figure…but the post is here!

Ooooo good stuff….thanks for the apelbaum post Valerie, I’ll add it to my data base :0)
YW! I bet your database is epic!!!
New Tucker Carlson, Episode 7: “Irony Alert: the war for democracy enables dictatorship.”
This was a truly great one!
This needs to happen everywhere:
Agreed. They represent the communist occupation government. Not us.
Wait… so they voted to abolish, but only IF it is deemed, presumably at some later vote, that FIB cannot be reformed?
WTH is that?
Vote that they can’t be reformed already, so you can BAN them.
Otherwise it’s just typical all talk, no action.
I believe that Ken Paxton was taken out for this reason.
When are the amish going to learn to behave? This guy should not be alive. A threat to everyone.
Stranger stabs family’s 11-year-old dog to death — ‘basically eviscerating it’ — in unprovoked attack while owner played pickleball

It’s excellent that he was pursued by citizens, despite having a knife.
People need to understand the laws of citizen arrest, so that guys like this can be confronted legally, and defended against properly.
Dude had a knife. He was committing what was most likely a felony, and at the very least a violent misdemeanor. He can be legally arrested by any citizen, and if he does not comply, the citizen can take appropriate actions. They’re not as strong as what a police officer can do, in most cases, and woke courts may indict a person even for a “good shoot”, but still – we have to stand up for what is right, and then defend each other in court.
Yes. Common sense will make a comeback if people growaset. Its either that or total societal rot.
