Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
We will always remember Wheatie,
Pray for Trump,
Yet have fun,
and HOLD ON when things get crazy!
We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:
“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:
- Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
- Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
- Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
- Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Just got home (like 15 minutes ago) from our big weekend project — Peter Gabriel concert in Palm Springs. Details to follow.
I was just looking to see when you last commented as I was going to ask if anyone knew if you were OK. Hope you had a wonderful time!
Oh it was hot this weekend too. Supposed to be 100 by Thursday. Get some sleep!
Lots of uploads from it already.
We were up and to the left and a mite closer than this video — row M off of the floor, and section 121. Really nice seats.
Thats good. You cannot be so far back that its like listening to the radio. Nice to be able to see them play.
Details?
It’s an old geezer who looks nothing like he used to look, playing songs everybody’s heard 10,000 times at least. Oh yeah, there ain’t enough Honey Buckets so there’s a half hour wait in line with no shade. And there’s too many stoned people who talk too loud and think they’re at a sing-along but none of them can carry a tune.
Fun times.
[seriously though, I hope you had a good time] 😆
The problems were very near the opposite.
If you knew what he looked and sounded like 25 years ago, he pretty much looks and sounds that way today — just slower and less athletic.
He was playing in support of an album that nobody has bothered to publish yet, called “I/O” (due out in December).
It was in a nice, new facility that is usually used for hockey. There were some issues about it being cold inside. There were, however, plenty of restrooms.
Finally, semi-autistic Silicon Valley types don’t do sing-alongs well.
Glad you enjoyed yourself.
And really glad you allowed my rude commentary about geezer concerts roll off your back. 🙂 🙃

Part I — the Problem
PG was playing a concert in San Francisco on a Wednesday in a huge venue deep in enemy territory. Available seats were over $400 and were far from optimal. The Fiancee would have had to take two days off work; we would have had to arrange transportation to the venue; we would have had to probably spend the night in SF (itself $$$) afterward, and we would have been threatened by the homeless, the mentally ill, street crime, and filth — both repulsive and health-threatening.
PG is 72 years old. His concert bassist, Tony Levin, has been with him for 57 years. His guitarist, David Rhodes, has been on concert duties with him for 54 years. Simply waiting for the next tour has significant risks.
Part II — The Plan
Instead of dealing with San Francisco at all, even if only 60 miles North of us……we’d go see the concert in Palm Springs, 450 miles South. I could drive down Friday, the Fiancee could fly into Ontario airport Saturday morning, we could see the concert Saturday night, spend the night in Palm Springs, and drive back together on Sunday. No missed work days!
Part III — The Execution
I knew I had to spend the night near the Ontario Airport, in some cheap flop — but hopefully one without gang-bangers, drugs, or prostitution. So I did an Orbitz search in a larger-and-larger circle around Ontario until places started getting cheap. East and West of Ontario looked iffy, but the same circle also went North…..and I found the High Desert Inn in Hesperia.
When I plotted my Friday route, based on that location, I found I could cut over on CA-58 and miss all the joyful Friday LA traffic.
I’d always imagined Palm Springs to be farther East of Ontario than it actually is — that worked out well. We easily found a Motel 6 that would work…..
Part IIIb2 — The OTHER Execution
When we checked into the Motel 6 in Palm Springs, we were dismayed to find that there was no apparent power plug near the beds to run my CPAP breathing machine. After the concert, we moved the beds and discovered one, but the Fiancee had been quite concerned.
Note that the “cheap flop” in Hesperia had no such issue.
Part IIIb3 — The OTHER Execution
On the way South, I decided to stretch my legs and get some gas off of I-5. The Harris Ranch exit had a number of gas stations, so I was thinking “competition — they’d likely be fair”. I was charged $6.68/gallon. At the next exit, gas was a dollar cheaper.
Part IIIb1 — The OTHER Execution
I had printed directions from Mapquest as well as my trusty GPS, which needed a map update. Both went nuts when they tried to get on CA-58 in Bakersfield. It seems that the locals had a new section of freeway, and the computers attempted to steer by side streets across the space the new road was to occupy.
So the directions I had were detours around the construction zone and temporary road-access when the freeway was beginning to be used, mixed together. On the ground, some of the temporary road access was made redundant by (undocumented) final road access, and much of the detour roads were being rebuilt because of damage sustained when they were a detour.
It took me an entire hour to pass this section.
Going to post some outlines —

Coothie
So glad you went to the concert!
Part IV — The Concert
Peter Gabriel has put on a couple of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life — Secret World and Growing Up. I would thoroughly recommend watching them on YouSchmoob.
This concert was not up to that level. Further, half the music was from a CD that is yet to be released.
So many people were recording the concert from the audience that the viewscreens were nearly as bright as the stage. People are awful, and cellphones doubly so. Some of the non-musical interludes seemed a little globalist in their preachiness….but PG was somewhat careful.
That said, the man knows how to entertain, and his band was phenomenal. The staging and special effects were beautiful and really enhanced the music.
As noted in this clip, the video backdrops were commissioned from artists around the world — for this song, the artist is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_Weiwei
(That’s one of the new ones, BTW — I’d never heard it before.)
Part V — The Extract
The Fiancee was tremendously concerned about getting home in time for her to make it to work the next day. OTOH, we had to stop to take a picture of a Joshua Tree, numerous “pit stops”, a couple of gas stops, a detour to see the Tehachapi train loop, lunch…..
So what was nominally a 7 hour trip took 11.
One nice point was that we ignored the GPS and other instructions and just rode CA-58 until it hit I-5. It took us by a large ugly fire in Bakersfield where we could see the flames, but we just kept driving.
Part VII — Summary
A nice little operation that saved us hundreds of dollars. Quite the treat.
Part VI — Happy Details
The Fiancee had never before seen a Joshua Tree, and we both got to see a train do the Tehachapi Loop.
At the point where the train crosses over itself, the tracks are 77 feet apart vertically.
^^^ N I C E.
Almost looks like a model railroad… picture so crisp and clear…
(I have enough cars to do it, but finding a room big enough…
“Cuppa, why is all our furniture outside???”
“I’m just modeling the Tehachapi Loop…” 🙂
BOOOM…. )…..
Now there IS a great idea.
^^^ Someone build a scaled version of, The Tehachapi Loop. 🙂
Tehachapi Loop is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. While living in Ridgecrest, CA, many Saturday’s we’d drive an hour. Sit of the side of the hill, eating lunch, watching trains.
I did see someone’s layout of a mountain line.
To render the differences in elevation he’d have the trains move in a spiral which was enclosed; to see the spiral you had to crawl under the table and then prairie-dog into the big plywood box he had built.
Our neighbor in Taxachusetts had the entire attic dedicated to model rail. He put together SEVERAL 4X8 sheets of plywood … VERY COOL.
I think the last word is mis-spelled. Shouldn’t it be BROOM, as in ‘she chased me out swinging her BROOM’.
A broom with a view 😀
every Christmas, my grandfather took over their sitting room. he had the most wonderful putz…kids from the neighborhood couldn’t wait till Grandpa started up the trains. he had all different scales–he built houses and stores–there was a tunnel for the cable car. he spent hours and hours on arranging everything just right.
but none of us got to flip the switches and run the trains. Grandpa was adamant about that.
but still…it made Christmas magical
Christmas trees with train(s), will make any kid smile.
I loved the trains going around the Christmas tree.
Here in NC there was a store that specialized in trains and such. I loved to go in and just look. (Bought some stuff too to give to my train loving friends)
Yep. We had one that is probably still in my parents’ attic, probably from at least 6 decades ago now 🙂
Wow! Sounds like fun. We had (before the books and schoolwork invasion hit 🙂 ) a few layouts in different gauges and brands in our downstairs living room… Started out as BRIO, then added LEGO trains (the ones from around 2000, not the battery-powered crud), then Lionel, then Trix/Fleischmann H0.
If we didn’t get killed by LEGO bricks on the floor, it was a lot of fun… The LEGO train was like a Gauge I or LGB, but of course not much detail (being plastic), the Lionel was from 1953, still going strong (needs a new smoke unit because someone who I won’t name got a little too aggressive cleaning it 🙂 ), the Trix and Fleischmann are nice H0, but the RP25 wheels on the Trix (I found out 🙁 ) don’t play well with the Fleischmann switches… so Big Boy and his Mikado brethren are waiting until I get ones that are compatible (and affordable)… And the Brio (also from the 1990s and early 2000s) is all from Sweden or Germany and all manual; no battery-powered RED CHINESE locos or anything like…
It was a lot of fun… sigh… maybe we can build some of it back up… or move some furniture out 😮
Nothing like a model railroad, but it seems kids don’t have the interest that they used to. When I was a wee bairn, the Sears store in Hayward had a HUGE layout downstairs around Christmas… late 1950s/early 1960s… and the place would just be full of kids looking at the Lionel Trains and begging their parents to buy some, even if it was just a 151 Semaphore or a 145 Gateman… or the Sheriff and Hobo car 🙂
Grandpa brought his trains from Austria, but the rest he built. he lovingly made street signs and stop signs. railroad crossing signs. there were so many levels. sigh…when he passed, my Grandma gave the entire thing to my uncle. Pop was mad, but it was hers to give. My pop got the accordians (because Pop played)
Does he like Weird Al? 🙂
Makes me think of this Far Side (sorry):
That’s the thing with toys, especially when you forget about them for a while (busy with school, sports, friends, etc.) and then you want them and they’re gone… I had a Kenner Girder-Panel-Highway set that I just loved, along with Tonka/Buddy-L/other construction toys… now they’re going for hundreds on eBay 🙁 Still, I’d take the Lionel train over any of them…
[I always wondered if Buddy-L was founded by an Englishman (who had just banged his thumb with a hammer… Bl00dy …L … 🙂 ) ]
Pop’s been gone almost ten years now…but he loved to laugh, so i would think he’d love the parodies.
he had his own band–they played at weddings and dances at the Austrian social hall. he was really good.
For some reason this comes to mind… 🙂
My toys got given to my brothers kids — the brother I DIVORCED and have not seen in over four decades. He does not even know I am married!
WHOA!!!
🙁
When my mother had the carpets ripped up, I knew it was only a matter of time before the train made it to the living room. It’s only happened once.
Hope it comes out again. My guess, lots of smiles and more. 🙂
Part VIb — Happy Other Detail
Another reason I wanted to take the CA-58 route is that it gets close to the beginning of I-40. I hope that experience with this will come in handy sometime soon.
There is, BTW, another train loop in California —
I can’t imagine Chutkan ruling in Trump’s favor. I expect he will have to appeal her ruling. But it’s going to look very bad for her if she tries to muzzle a presidential candidate in the middle of a campaign.

Rite Aid just filed for bankruptcy and could be closing more of its 2,100 stores
So let me get this straight, Rite Aid was filling legal scripts for opioids. Now the gov change the rules and sue them and put them out of business.
I.E. we have the drugs coming in through the open boarders now and we don’t need your services anymore.
Thank you, your gov.
Yes thats what happened. Rite aid kept building stores here in CA too.
Yep. The square scoops, too. High quality, great taste, great price.
And tube testers too… (just don’t short them out with the ice cream 🙂 )….
Bye,Done has the Ty-D-Bowl touch in spades…..
I remember square scoops! Smart n final sells some thrifty ice cream but only a 5 gallon container!
IMO, Rite Aid has been on the financial ropes for some time.
The chain really did try to bridge the gap between the old “independent family pharmacy” and the current “impersonal mega chain CVS-type pharmacy” concepts.
My rite aid closed a few yrs ago. Cvs is everywhere like starbucks. Not as many walgreens, but their service is awful. Cvs is $$$ though. Told me 1 if kiddo’s meds wasnt covered anymore. Normal $5 copay but they wanted $30. Costco had it over the counter for more ounces and less than half the price.
We still get decent service at a local Rite Aid, fwiw…
We usually get my son’s non-transplant related meds there, depending on insurance issues, at least historically. We get the transplant meds from the Transplant Pharmacy shipped monthly, except when insurance made us go elsewhere & that’s when we couldn’t get sufficient Prograf & he had his Rejection bout in summer 2020 & “we almost lost the liver”…

First Kurt I’ve read in months. He nails it with a minor omission.
R-Cons are just as much the problem, as D-Rats.
Buy guns and ammunition.
There are some Republicans who are democrats. People are voting for them and they are complicit because they vote them in to power.
“Voting” is a proven copout.
“If voting mattered, they wouldn’t allow us to do it”
Vote FRAUD must be fixed or NOTHING will ever change.

“When all hell breaks loose, you can expect communications to be down, you can expect chaos to rain, and if you think your local gendarmes are going to roll up in their back and white cruiser to solve your problem, you have got another thing coming.”

If you think………you have another THINK coming!
Sorry for the rant, but this one drives me right over the edge.
How about “you expect chaos to reign” not “rain”.
Yes. If he had said “rain down,” that would have been different.
Oh, my! Is that in there, too!? I missed it. Good grief.
Although, chaos could “rain” down on someone. That would be correct.

Hmmm. Ionophores and anti-parasitics… aren’t those good against COVID???
Could it be that Big Pharma is trying to clear the deck for their clot-shot for food animals, e.g. cattle, hogs, poultry, etc.??? No use having animals protected against the clot-shot/slab-jab spike protein…
Paging Gail…
Well, sort of.
An ionophore assists a substance with entrance into cells. A ZINC ionophore assists zinc through the cell wall, which helps kill covid and other cold viruses.
The ionophore mentioned in the article is an antibiotic ionophore. Why they are using it is to assist the antibiotics they give the animals. So it’s different.
I have bad news for people. It’s not just fast food. These chemicals, like glyphosate, and various hormones and antibiotics are in most food you buy in a grocery store, organic or not.
Organic food is “allowed” a certain level of them. The only way out is grow it yourself, and/or REALLY know your farmer!
They claim that glyphosate leaves the soil in a short time, but if your organic farmer is growing in soil that had glyphosate applied in the last ten years, I’d bet the residue is in the food.
That’s my two cents, FWIW.
Agreed.
However you have to be careful about WHAT is being broadcast. Notice the focus of the article is on MEAT…
Added to my War on Meat.
You do not NEED the antibiotics if you are pasture raising meat.

Message should go viral.
Message could be applied to many engineered conflicts, with the same root cause. Sad.
Things to be gleaned there but is decidedly one sided.
Totally. Several excellent points.
Message is simple. Convert or submit and America is next. Then we can all live under the tyrants chosen for us, not be ground into the dirt for our beliefs and who knows, you might get a benevolent tyrant. One that ignores the harsher dictates of the Koran. Well at least till the fundamentalism spreads, but first things first and besides as tyrants we don’t really have to listen to the fundamentalists either. After all it’s all in the book. Typical thug talk.
Bolded that one part for an explainer. The Western Roman Empire that led the Crusades saw this as a black and white issue. The Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople saw it as a gray issue as they had been living with Moslems invading their lands for centuries before the Crusades began. They knew many of these leaders in Islamic states paid lip service to the fundamentalists of their time and knowing such they could work with them to an extant knowing that when one Islamic leader fell there were huge bloody fights over succession and happening such they’d be weakened and with luck a more thoughtful Islamic leader more concerned about wealth vs the Book would take power.
Now the prime motivator for West, East and Islam has always been economics, but the rhetoric for each has been sharply different, at least between West and Islam with again the East being more gray. But we’ll leave off the economics part for now as it continues to be a sore spot for all.
At one point after hundreds of years fighting the Islamic Scourge and each other, Constantinople was sacked by the Crusaders and they fled to the North toward the Black Sea and Ukraine. After about a hundred years they were able to retake the city and began again until the Muslim hordes finally sacked their city so they had to flee again to the North. In a lot of ways the Western Crusaders kept mucking up the plan in how to deal with Islam. Any way those Eastern, Constantinople sediments on how to deal with the Islamic states ended up in Russia where they remain today.
Of course there is much more involved, but that’s the general theme I’ve picked up. The West has had excesses, Islamic States have definitely had excesses and the East because of it’s close proximity to the expanding Islamic States has had to thread its way between the two and often enough not in a glorious way.
Could you clarify your next-to-last paragraph? Who sacked the city and who did the fleeing? I know I could look this up but it’s easier to just ask you. 😆
The first sack was done by Western Crusaders in 1203, mostly under the insistence of the Venetians in conjunction with a few of the other Western powers. Reason giving was to help a heir to the crown but the heir’s claims were very much disputed and it was a pretext. There had been some bad blood between West and East but it got worse when East imposed taxes on the Venetians who had been allowed to sell in Constantinople tax free for decades.
About sixty years later the old aristocracy was able to seize the city back from the Crusaders and held it till the Ottomans’ finally breached it’s walls after a long siege.
The second and final sack that still has Constantinople in the hands of Ottoman Turks under Mehmed II occurred in 1553.
In both sacks of the city most of the inhabitants were put to sword, people murdered raped, and treasures looted.

OMG.
I made a minute and a half, then I started to skip around. Then I heard “exploiting Jewish emotional attachment to Israel.” Then I quit.
I mean, gee fucking whiz, why would a Jew have an emotional attachment to Israel? Hmm. I don’t know, maybe because the most Holy place in their religion is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem?
Or, let me think, could it be because they think of it as a last-bastion place to go if another Holocaust begins? I think that could be it, since we have morons on college campuses in AMERICA shouting about intifada and cheering palestinian baby-murderers!
Or could it be for a similar reason that I hold Scotland in my own heart, and, though I have never been there, have a deep love for bagpipes and tartan? Because my ancestors were there over a thousand years ago, and that ancestral history has deep meaning for me?
I am sick to death of hearing about how Jews should feel. When there are six million of your ancestors literally exterminated by a government less that 100 years ago, that might change your perspective a bit, don’t you think?
Amen.
Thanks, Linda. This one is really starting to get to me.
He’d be in deep doodoo if you had a nailgun.

AMEN!!!
Most excellent post.
Extra points for the bagpipes and tartan reference since I have those deep in my family history and soul as well. 👍
Thanks, TB. I appreciate it. We are all connected in some way to where we come from.

We Must Change Our Constitution
Second time this morning, I’ve read / heard (see PRs eighteen minute video posted ~30 minutes ago)…
It is even worse when people with dual nationalities hold policy-making offices, including but not limited to sitting in the House and Senate.
Slow Guy finally recognizes the evil, of Dual citizenship. Once I see it, I cannot…
I agree. The Congress woman Spratz naturalized citizen is angry that some people do not want to give money to Ukraine. She is quitting and she was born in Ukraine.
I swore my loyalty to the US when I became a citizen. Muslims do not have too Obama changed it because Muslims only can be loyal to their faith.
If one benefits from this country one has to make this country first.
She is not quitting due to politics, according to her. IIRC she’s pregnant and wants to raise her own kid instead of some childcare place doing it.
I did not know that I thought she has teenage daughters ?
Carl is spot on again.
I remember when Dual Citizenship was NOT ALLOWED. Boy friend in high school had to choose. USA or Canada.
So the US Supreme Court F..ck us Citizens over yet again.
Verse of the Day for Monday, October 16, 2023
✟
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”
2 Thessalonians 2:15 (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.

Kyle & BB are discussing the mess in Israel. Kyle brings up a VERY IMPORTANT POINT. Listen to this and think of the call for a Day of Jihad that DID NOT HAPPEN!!
1:03:40 starts the reasoning thread.

Saudi Arabia is NOW working to CONTAIN THE MESS.
There is a lot more.
…
As far as the ‘This is a Movie’ crap. It is not so much a movie as a Chess Game where the other [Satanic] side gets to make moves and ‘our side’ gets to COUNTER THOSE MOVES. As General Flynn and others say, it is 5th generation Warfare, however it is WARFARE and there ARE CASUALTIES. Many, many people miss this very important point. DO NOT EVER FORGET THEY WANT MOST OF THE POPULATION OF EARTH DEAD AND THEY WANT IT SOON.
There is no way the ‘good guys’ could have just gone in and arrested all the bad actors across the world a decade or two ago. The Cabal had TOO MUCH POWER. Think of McCarthy and the Church Commission.
McCarthyism and the Red Scare | Miller Center
The Deep State made McCarthy a laughing stock via the Deep State controlled media.
So this time the CENTURIES OLD Satanic Cabal problem is being approached like you would approach a very nasty time bomb. Wires are being strategically cut. Think how Al-Waleed who FUNDED RADICAL ISLAM MOSQUES IN THE USA was defanged, Hillary was unmasked, CEOs and politicians were forced to step down….

I am still listening.
At ~1:20 Kyle starts discussing Thomas Wictor who is an IMAGE ANALYSIS. I remember Wictor mentioning way back when that he did analysis for people in the middle east. I really really wish we had his threads available still.
If the NSA has them, then they are on the web somewhere. It’s just a matter of finding the right snoop-type autistic over on 4chan or reddit.
As I remember it, Wictor was given the nickname of “The Professor” by Middle Easterners who paid close attention to his combat analysis skills.
HMMmmm,

Kyle & BB are talking about BiBi being sort of ‘swampy’ and then mention Kolomoisky has dual citizenship with ISRAEL — MOSSAD AGENT MAYBE???
Yes. That’s how real life works.
Yep. The opponent does get a chance to affect the outcome.
That’s why I have difficulty believing in a detailed plan. If there was one I’d suspect we are on at least Plan D by now…and that’s assuming we were still on Plan A as of 2016.

HERE’S ALL PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MANDY COHEN, MD, THE NEW DIRECTOR OF THE CDC:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nicole-charlotte-hardison-baby-remdesivir-covid
“Exclusive: ‘My Wife Never Got to See Our Baby'”
Yours Truly: Ms. Hardison died on 22 December 2021, from the effects of being given remdesivir and being put on a ventilator, at the Forsyth Medical Center, Winston-Salem NC. She had been admitted on 5 December with a COVID-19 infection. She was NOT “vaccinated.” She was in the 30th week of pregnancy. In the hospital, she gave birth safely via C-section to a premature baby girl (who survived and is with her father.) Ms. Hardison was denied Ivermectin and instead put on several different types of antidepressants and tranquilizers, in addition to remdesivir and a ventilator. Neither Ms. Hardison nor her husband had given consent for the use of remdesivir. She was eventually put on a dialysis machine that kept “clogging up” due to the HUGE CLOTS that were showing up from her failing kidneys. Her husband asked one of the hospital’s doctors about The Right to Try Act in order to get his wife on IVM — he was told by the doctor, “That’s for the drug companies.” Mr. Hardison was “permitted” to see his wife only at certain times — they communicated mostly by text. She was denied the chance to hold her new baby after it was born. Mr. Hardison has documentation for his statements.
MANDY COHEN, MD, WAS THE SECRETARY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FROM 27 JANUARY 2017 THROUGH 31 DECEMBER 2021.
Wow. There needs to be lawsuits all over the country for stuff like this. All of these murderers need to be brought to justice, whether doctors or the bureaucrats who enabled them.
Linda
Yours Truly has a feeling that this type of scenario — patients being given remdesivir and being put on ventilators without their consent (and even WITH THE PATIENT AND/OR THE PATIENT’S NEXT OF KIN REFUSING THEM); patients being refused their rights under The Right to Try Act — not only DID occur; but are STILL occurring.
This is exactly why I never want to go to the hospital for any reason, or any of my family for that matter.
Me, neither!
I have been mostly avoiding the medical profession for 2 decades. Last time was Covid ‘Asthma’ and the time before removal of nasty wart (Not cancer) on my breast.
For the most part, I agree with you, but if you find someone unresponsive, call 911. Been there, done that. Cleaning up the mess now.
There are times when venturing into enemy territory is required!
Living proof speaking.
If you have a severe loss of blood (even if you stop it), do get to the hospital or call 911 – that is the only way to survive. Same with an amputation, severe trauma, etc.
Also, don’t go without somebody who refuses to leave your side. That helps.
You just have to treat it as enemy territory.
Exactly. We have learned to protect ourselves, family, friends, when dealing with healthcare.
That is why they are going after Dr. Reiner Fuellmich.

Pentagon sends deployment notices to 2,000 US troops over Israel-Hamas war
By AP
The Pentagon has sent “prepare to deploy” orders to about 2,000 US troops to be ready to respond to the Israel-Hamas war, two US officials say, on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that has not been announced yet.
The troops are set to cover a variety of support roles, such as additional medical support or explosive ordnance support, including providing additional security at gate crossings, one of the officials says.
They will not be sent to Israel but could be sent to countries in the region, one of the officials says.

EXC: Hunter Biden Owned Financial Stake In Digital Banking Platform For Undocumented Migrants, Introduced Founder To Joe Biden.
➡️ ePlata, a digital banking platform partnered with the Mexican government to enable migrants to send and receive remittances, has deep financial and personnel ties to Hunter Biden.
The fintech startup describes itself as a “multi-balance, multi-currency digital wallet and payment ecosystem” and was founded by one of Hunter Biden’s long-time business partners Jeff Cooper. Documents unearthed from Hunter Biden’s hard drive also reveal that the president’s son held an 8.25 percent stake in ePlata through his company Owasco LLC, though it is unclear if he still retains the position.
Several individuals who have financial ties to Hunter Biden, however, have recently been appointed to the company’s Board of Directors.
Emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s hard drive prove the president’s son was profiting off of ePlata, receiving a $20,000 wire transfer from the company in April 2015.
ePlata “offers worldwide banking without the need for a traditional bank account,” continues a company synopsis, which also raises concerns about the platform potentially being used for money laundering and other criminal activities including human trafficking.
While ePlata was launched in 2016, in recent years it has made broader efforts to grow, including appointing several Hunter Biden-linked individuals to its Global Advisory Board in 2019.
ePlata also appears to have a financial interest in supporting mass migration to the U.S. given the company positioning itself as the premier platform for sending and receiving remittances. In emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s hard drive, the company pitched itself as “focused on providing cross-border remittances.”
Remittances represent a key financial aspect of mass migration – both legal and illegal – as it refers to migrants sending funds from their current country of residence back to their home country. The payments constitute a massive industry worth over $150 billion annually in the U.S. alone and harm America’s economy, as the sizable sum leaves the country untaxed.
Mexico consistently ranks as the top destination for outbound remittances from the U.S., and nearly 95 percent of inbound remittances to Mexico come from migrants living in the U.S.
ePlata has made the controversial form of payment a cornerstone of its business, highlighting how the platform can be used for “cross-border remittances” on the front page of its website:
“Labor moves around the globe, and when workers move so does their money. The global nature of labor often makes it difficult for someone to have a bank account in the country where they are employed. This is why ePlata allows you to transact in the currency of your choice and without limits across geographic borders. Is there any reason money transfers should be more expensive because one person lives in a different country? ePlata does not think so. With ePlata, simple, secure and inexpensive international transactions are now in the palm of your hand.”
Contrary to traditional bank regulations, ePlata appears to make sending and receiving money easy for users, including illegal aliens, given its lax identification requirements for signing up.
“You can then create an ePlata account by simply entering your name, address, email address and mobile number. That’s it, no hassle, no pain, no cost. With ePlata, setting your money free is as easy as one, two, three,” explains a summary of the platform’s onboarding.
The company’s emphasis on remittances comes amidst its 2019 partnership with the Mexican government whereby the Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer, which falls under the auspices of the Mexican Attorney General, selected ePlata as one of two fintech companies it endorsed for citizens to send and receive remittances.
The head of Mexico’s Consumer Protection Agency also highlighted ePlata as one of the country’s leading platforms for sending and receiving remittances during a presidential press briefing.
Jeff Cooper, the founder of ePlata, and Hunter Biden have a long history of collaboration, including on some of the president’s son’s most controversial business dealings implicating Joe Biden exposed through his “Hard Drive From Hell.”
While pursuing deals with Mexican billionaires during Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President, Cooper and Hunter Biden exploited the privileges of the office – including White House Events, trips on Air Force Two, and meetings with Joe Biden – to lure clients.
Cooper, who has appeared in photos with Hunter, Joe, and various Mexican billionaires, even joined Hunter on a February 2016 Air Force Two flight to Mexico.
Hunter Biden and Cooper had previously worked together trying to raise funds from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim for their venture Ocho Gaming, which a whistleblower recently revealed that Joe Biden was involved in as a “silent investor.”
The hard drive also reveals that as late as 2018, Hunter Biden and Cooper were still soliciting money from the Slim family with the assistance of Joe Biden.
“Spoke to my dad about ‘Slim ask,’ ” Hunter wrote Cooper after a visit from his father in Los Angeles. “Oh that sounds SO F’ING GOOD” replied Cooper.
ePlata appears to still maintain its links to Hunter Biden, appointing three individuals to its eight-person board in addition to Cooper who are linked to the president’s son.
Among the members of the advisory board is Vuk Jeremic, a former President of the United Nations General Assembly who became a consultant for Chinese energy giant CEFC, which partnered with Hunter on a multi-million-dollar oil and gas deal.
Board member Miguel Aleman Magnani was also engaged in business deals with Hunter Biden which eventually led to him meeting then-Vice President Joe Biden.
“I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F’ing White House and the Vice President’s house and the inauguration and then you go completely silent,” Hunter Biden wrote in an email to Magnani, alluding to his exploitation of his father’s political office on behalf of his business partners.
“I don’t know what it is that I did but I’d like to know why I’ve delivered on every single thing you’ve ever asked” and you make me feel like I’ve done something to offend you,” he added.
Fellow Board Member Xin Wang is a Managing Director at BHR Partners
Xin Wang is also on the board of ePlata, concurrently serving as a Managing Director BHR Partners, a highly controversial joint venture between an investment fund founded by Biden and Obama-era Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson and the state-owned Bank of China.
The president’s son pledged to divest of his 10 percent stake in BHR Partners in 2019, which was notoriously birthed less than two weeks after Biden traveled to China alongside his father and then-Vice President, but reportedly still owns 10 percent of the fund.
In addition to the aforementioned Hunter Biden links plaguing ePlata, perhaps the biggest conflict of interest is the fact that the company benefits from Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border and continued enabling of unprecedented levels of legal and illegal immigrants to enter the U.S.
As this population grows, ostensibly ePlata’s profits through more remittances being sent and received increase, too.
ePlata’s expansion – which includes collaboration with governments in countries such as Mexico – also overlaps with the agenda of groups such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and G20 to roll out “digital identity” infrastructure worldwide.
Once in effect, these systems have often laid the groundwork for China-style “social credit” scoring systems and even vaccine passports.
“Oh shit.”

Major rocket barrage toward Jerusalem stops Knesset session, sending MKs to shelters

The goal is to create more USD denominated debt contracts through foreign countries (vassals) making weapon purchasing deals with US. Since other US exports are weak, the music for the US keeps going so long as large wars keep going.
The world still has trillions worth of USD debt contracts, but they are gradually being phased out, and even now suffering liquidity problems. New USD debt and foreign demand is created in the form of war expenditure, which can keep the flow of new USD going for a while and the liquidity created by new contracts pay for old contracts and the financial system seemingly avoids crashing.
We was wage war, kill innocent children, Jews and Arabs alike … to keep the economy from crashing. So, believe Yellen and Biden when they say “we can sustain two wars plus.
EVIL incarnate.
I think I have the plan for what to do if that stupid judge Chutkin puts a gag order on Trump.
At every rally, Trump opens the mike for a surrogate from the audience to say ALL the things that Trump himself can’t say. Maybe more than one. Hand-picked ahead of time. I’m begging, let me at a mike!
Will the bitch try a national gag order? Good luck with that.
Yes! I had thought Trump’s surrogates can say whatever he wants them to say, but she might muzzle them too. But she can’t silence the people.
As the saying goes, the truth will out…
No she cannot.
She could silence his whole team ? She is crazy enough or lets say corrupt enough.
Nope, not me. Wench, judge chucker, can try. I Am Not A Party, in The Case.
First Amendment says, I (we), can sling darts at the government, including, Jack, DOJ, judge chucker, court staff…
I believe you 🙂
That is brilliant 🙂 He just has to be careful not to tell his surrogates what to say.

Good idea 🙂

She should go back to a world she understands.
RED ALERT: GOVERNMENTS COMING AFTER PEOPLE INVESTIGATING COVID-19 AND THE “VACCINES” —
https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/breaking-reiner-fuellmich-taken-from
Yours Truly: Prof. Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, an attorney who is one of the most active and vocal investigators of COVID-19 and the “vaccines” in Germany, was removed from the German Embassy in Tijuana where he was on a passport errand, flown back to Frankfurt, and arrested. This occurred on Friday 13 October.
Dr. Fuellmich and his wife were staying in Mexico but needed to have their passports and papers updated. Apparently, the German government contrived to allow Mrs. Fuellmich to pick up her new documents and go, but Dr. Fuellmich was flown back to Germany, arrested, and charged with “financial crimes.” Arrest warrants had been issued against him both by Germany and by the EU.
Yep.
The NAZIs have returned, and only “right-think” and “right speech” are allowed… no right-wing(s), however…
Deutschedämmerung, one might say….
OTOH, the AfD are now at 23 percent in the polls, ahead of everyone else except the “C”s, the CDU/CSU. In fact, they’re stronger than the SPD and the FDP together (or the Greens and the FDP) with the FDP at the lowest they can be and still remain in parliament (five percent threshhold). In the former East Germany the AfD are even higher, as the “Ossies” can smell a commie rat (the traffic-light coalition) instantly, having lived through years of communism…
Here’s the latest poll:
N.B. The SPD, Greens, and FDP form the “ampel-coalition”, but now only have 33 percent in the polls, which is NOT enough to be a majority… and the CDU/CSU, despite having the most votes, aren’t even in the coalition…. Sinking ship of

It will be interesting how Elon reacts to the EU demands, to throttle Free Speech, laced with truth.
He’s been fighting them so far, and asking them to specify what they are actually referring to… they slippery slimeball EU politicians, of course, won’t say… I imagine Elon will broadcast that, too…..
There are TONS of people over here backing Elon and others in the fight for free speech… and some countries are thinking about Second Amendment rights, as well…
CRAP!!!
That was a WARNING SHOT BY THE DEEP STATE! It is just like what is being done in the USA to the Jan 6ers.
Kyle (Defected) mentioned that in German, the conservatives have gone from 1% to 22% using the Deep State election numbers.
https://rumble.com/v3pj342-defected-ep-45-sun-900-pm-et-.html – I am not sure where.
So it looks like the BORG is fighting back.
Actually this is ‘Good’ because it means the Deep State is getting worried.
Maybe they’ll shoot themselves in their collective feet… especially if they party like Juncker…
Remember once trust is lost you do not get it back again. This is the problem the Deep State is facing. NO ONE goes from distrusting Gov’t & Media to trusting them.

The original five families: Bonnano, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese.
mafia? that’s pelosi’s background…
thanks These Truths!
YW!
I can’t believe I was right, I was just joking… we live in a nightmare 😂
LOL
A good buddy of mine (Caver) knew the REAL Godfather that the novel was modeled after.
My husband went with kids of mafia to school.

I know there are those here who follow the writings of Victor Davis Hanson. The above link is his analysis of the Hamas pogrom of recent days. His take is brutal and blunt. You may wish to read it.
He does deliver a well deserved blistering condemnation on the Hamas butchery but also adds a denunciation of the Democrat left. My impression after reading was that famous Q line, “they won’t be able to walk down the street.”
While I try to bring an objective eye to what response is appropriate I also realize that I am sitting on my couch well out of harm’s way at the moment. I do understand that war cannot be conducted without emotion. I am also aware that while it looks peaceful outside my window today it may be false comfort given the ongoing invasion of our own borders. The differences between the choices Israel and America face may be nothing more than just a matter of time.
Latter thought, striking similarities.
It started with OBAMA!
Nolte: President Pallets-of-Cash Obama Pretends to Care About Dead Israelis
You are correct. However, I am totally prejudiced against him due to his neverTrumper stance back in 2015.
He seems to have changed but I’ve never heard him say publicly that he’s sorry.
I recall reading or hearing something about his admission that it was bad judgment on his part. That was back circa 2018, I think. I value his opinion so I was surprised when his name was on that National Review cover. I chalk it up to 1 Corinthians 15:33.
From the article: “Israel now knows there is no living with a precivilizational Hamas. It must destroy it, permanently block off Gaza from itself, and adopt a strategy of chronic disproportionate response from now on out.”
_______________
After looking at the map, it is not possible to ‘permanently block off’ a festering wound in one’s side.
It’s like trying to block off your body from your liver.
There is only one realistic long-term solution, which is to evacuate Gaza, destroy the tunnels, and take it over, making Gaza a permanent part of Israel.
No country can exist with a sworn enemy inside its borders. Imagine if Missouri was taken over by HamISIS. You don’t try to find a way to live with that, it’s insane.
You eradicate the enemy and take the land. There is no other answer which does not lead to a repeat performance of October 7, or worse.
If they have not already done so, militarize the border with Lebanon and Syria in the north, with Jordan to the east and southeast, and with Egypt in the southwest.
.
The reason why peace is impossible is islam.
islam is effectively Nazism on steroids.
From Israel’s perspective (and one day soon, ours), the conflict between the civilized world and barbaric islam is just a matter of when, not if.
If you look where “the puck is going to be”, that’s reality, that is where it will be. islam doesn’t offer any other potential eventuality.
It is the only outcome which can happen, because it is the only outcome islam will allow to happen.
So if you are in Israel’s shoes — or the shoes of anyone else who isn’t islamic — the only real option is to defeat islam, or be defeated.
The civilized world could defeat islam easily, if the civilized world was:
A) serious
and
B) honest about the threat islam poses to humanity
Supposedly nine states have nuclear weapons:
Russia
UK
France
China
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Israel
USA
Exactly one of those countries is islamic.
If civilization / humanity wants to win, the time to strike is before any more islamic nations have nuclear weapons.
Everyone who is not islamic unites and eradicates Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. MAD might work if only one of the other eight countries preemptively attacked, but not if all eight do.
When Pakistan is de-nuked or effectively eliminated, every nation governed by islam gets a choice, either to eliminate the animalistic religion of sub-human murder and rape, or be eliminated by the civilized world.
No normal person wants war.
Unfortunately, islam is war.
If the civilized world has any real intention to survive the threat of islam, the time to strike is when the civilized world has an overwhelming advantage.
For not much longer, the civilized world has that overwhelming advantage.
What the civilized world does not have, is serious leaders.
Or even serious people.
Most people in the West are more afraid of politically-incorrect rhetoric, than the reality of islam.
From the article: “Israel now knows there is no living with a precivilizational Hamas.”
_________
What ‘precivilizational Hamas’ means, in reality, is ‘precivilizational islam’.
And it isn’t just Israel who “now knows”, everyone who remembers ISIS knows.
Because Israel isn’t islam’s only target, it’s just the current one.
islam’s target is, and from inception has always been, everyone who is not islamic.
From the article: “It [Israel] must destroy it, permanently block off Gaza from itself, and adopt a strategy of chronic disproportionate response from now on out.”
______________
Since everyone ‘now knows’ that there is no living with precivilizational islam, then it logically follows that everyone must destroy it, i.e., precivilizational islam.
For everyone to adopt a strategy of ‘chronic disproportionate response from now on out’ is a good start.
But if you want to eliminate the need for chronic disproportionate response in the first place, you need to eliminate the proximate cause.
That cause is islam.
Surprises the heck out of me.
“Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced Monday that he would endorse House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan to become the next Speaker.”
SOURCE:https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/16/kevin-mccarthy-endorses-jim-jordan-speaker/
They must have had time to completely compromise Jordan over the weekend.
Have a little faith. Jordan as speaker will have to unite a bunch of Republicans from two or three camps who don’t like each other.
The only way to do that is to not play dictator.
“Have a little faith.”

Three years into the occupation of America, I have the same amount of ‘faith’ in the professional political-class as the day it happened.
None.
If it was possible to have less than none, I would have that.
Maybe Trump had something to do with it?
Here’s a brief respite from the Derp State and all the “brown fog” flying fast and furious…
Cowboy Kent Rollins is doing a series about the old (and current) west, aka flyover country, and this one is particularly inspiring as it involves breakfast and covfefe, erm, coffee 😀
I have to say, no matter what’s going on now, America is still the greatest country in the world. There’s nothing to compare to the wide open spaces of the USA, and the pioneer spirit and people of the West…

He has a ton of videos out there on his YouTube Channel, all of them interesting, some of them, like this one, concentrate on history and info. He also has three or four cookbooks out, which combine his strong Christian faith, his Cowboy Cook expertise and experience, and Shannon’s beautiful photography and editing and production…
And here’s one with some Welsh cowboys, down in Texas! Wonder if he got them to sing 🙂
Inspite of our massive problems, USA remains the greatest country on Earth.

On October 16, 1760, Founding Father Jonathan Dayton was born.
https://www.theconstitutional.com/blog/2019/12/23/jonathan-dayton-one-americas-founding-fathers
Dayton left college and joined the Continental Army at age 15. He served under Gen. George Washington and participated in the Battle of Brandywine, the Battle of Germantown, and the encampment at Valley Forge. He was a representative from New Jersey to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and he signed the Constitution at age 26. He served as a U.S. Congressman, Speaker of the House, and Senator from New Jersey.

Has Israel’s govt recruited a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee?
Unacceptable, wearing the Israeli military uniform, while in Congress.
Another case of dual citizenship?
Senators and Congressmen Who Hold Dual Citizenship with Israel
Truth to light. Good stuff, Gail.
Allow me to point out that, unlike all other ambassadors, Dan Shapiro does not enjoy diplomatic immunity [due to him being a citizen of Israel].
Yes but as long as Congress tolerates the open muzzies, any criticism of Mast in a similar vein is bullschiff.
Israel does not have a murder charter like islam does. Big difference.
I criticize Both – open muzzies AND wearing an Israeli uniform. Both are wrong.
And yes, I’ll never defend muzzie, convert to islam, or be murdered.
One cannot serve two masters. That is the reason it took me 45 years before becoming a citizen. I wanted to be sure that I 100% have my loyalty for the US . When I began to cheer Olympics for US not Germany to win I knew I was ready. 7 years is not enough to leave loyalty behind unless one is from a country that is oppressive. I have met to many people whose loyalty is still with the old country.
We’re glad to have you!
I am happy to be here Lucky me 🙂

Excellent quote from Sundance:
“Get comfortable being uncomfortable; because if we really want to save this nation, we are going to have to approach everything with great intensity and deliberateness.”
-Sundance
Already there, here.
If I get anymore intense, things around me are going to start to catch on fire.
To be deliberate is to be intentional, or to consider long and carefully. That I have also done.
And I admit, I am damned uncomfortable.

I suspect, but cannot prove, that special forces, perhaps only Israeli, or maybe American, too, are in the process of attempting to locate and extract hostages if it is possible.
No doubt, there is a 24/7 effort, to locate and rescue hostages.
One would certainly hope so.
Regarding the U.S. and ‘the real economy’ here is the most predictable train wreck in history. Interest rate payments on U.S. debt.
The U.S. govt currently pays close to 1% but now has to pay over 4% for new bonds. 1% of $30T is $300B; 4% is $1.2T. Republicans are going to want to cut Social Security to redirect the payroll tax to fund the military. That is Haley-nomics.

Belgium-Sweden Euro qualifier abandoned after shooting in Brussels
ESPN News Services
Thousands of soccer fans were kept inside Belgium’s national stadium for about 2½ hours Monday after a game between Belgium and Sweden was abandoned at half-time following a gunman fatally shooting two Swedish people in Brussels before kickoff.
Eric Van Duyse, spokesperson for the federal prosecutor’s office, told reporters the investigation was centering on “a possible terrorist motivation for the shooting.”
“During the evening, a claim of responsibility was posted on social media, having been recorded by a person claiming to be the assailant. This person claims to be inspired by Islamic State,” Van Duyse said. “The Swedish nationality of the victims was put forward as the probable motive for the act. At this time, no element indicates a possible link with the Israeli-Palestinian situation.”
Rhetorical. Wonder if illegals are included.
Buh…Buh….BIDENOMICS!!!
