Olympics Pres: We Would Screen Out Men if Science Could Tell Men and Women Apart
By the age of three, all humans should be able to know the difference between girl parts and boy parts. I was three and half when my twin brothers were born, and the difference was obvious.
Western Civilization in Decline
The author of that piece claims Western Civilization has been in decline for a couple hundred years. I would argue it’s more like five hundred and accelerated in the last three hundred. Music, literature, theater (with maybe Shakespeare as the exception given the coded messaging in his plays) physical media such as marble, oil on canvas, etc., all had their height in pretty much the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Even my beloved Mozart did not compose some of the more complicated a cappella pieces Palestrina did for the Sistine Chapel. Increasingly, cultural media is just far more simple, and not nearly as well executed.

The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 18:
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, 3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. 8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray? 13 And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

Response……
Such liars. There is no “Donald Trump’s Project 2025,” etc.
Complete and total falsehood is never an obstacle with these people. The astonishing aspect is how they know we know it is all garbage, but they seem to relish that aspect.
That is because they RELY on the Sheeple being COMPLETELY BRAIN DEAD!
This “statement” from the “Kamala campaign HQ”, IMO, is classic Saul Alinsky “projection.”
It’s KAMALA HARRIS (or whoever is potentially put in her place) who has the REAL “Project 2025 agenda” — the Democrat agenda of:
Erasing the borders of the United States of America;
Giving away American citizenship with the stroke of a pen to millions upon million of illegal aliens in this country;
Installing (by any means necessary) a Democrat President of the United States;
Installing (by any means necessary) a Democrat-controlled government at every level, from local Sheriff on up;
Allowing the WHO, the WEF, the UN, and Communist China to control how the United States government behaves (erasing the sovereignty of the United States);
Allowing perversion in various forms to become “the new normal”;
among other items.
This is aside from the fact that this “Project 2025” that the Kamala HQ references has been completely disavowed by President Trump.
This is aside from whatever the “actual intentions” were/are, of those who formulated this “Project 2025.”
Of course Donald Trump has distanced himself from project 25 as many a writer has pointed out, but the devils have little else to go with and continue to spit out lies and ignore the truth as they spin spin spin with their own insidious disinfo.
Loved this image from DP’s open!!!
I knew the science people would love it.
Steve, open your
orificemouth. 😂 Those squares in the bottom row of the main table all have very short half lives, so they must get eaten first.
Sounds like a plan!!!
I remember when the Deep State pushed this lady out of Trump’s cabinet.
NEVER AGAIN.
I volunteer to be Trump’s Director of “NO YOU CREEPS AIN’T PULLING THAT SHIT AGAIN”. Our duty is to inform Trump of BACKSTABBING BULLSHIT so he can say “NO” to it.
KT is quite a valuable asset.
Thank you, De Pat, for a scientific Tuesday post.
With chocolate.
Reminds me of Odufus saying “We are the ones that we’ve been waiting for…” 🤣
nasty narcissist
Wow, that little girl playing the violin was incredible!
😍
Three enjoyable minutes. Talented youngster.
Main takeaways from the Trump/Elon conversation:
-Trump can talk off-script about policy for hours, while Kamala can’t talk without a teleprompter.
-Trump and Elon seem to have a great relationship and mutual respect for one another.
-Trump was authentic and transparent, compared to Kamala and the Dems who are fake and deceitful.
-The reach of this conversation will dip into new demographics Trump is not normally accustomed to reaching, and hopefully will increase his support. He certainly did not lose any support, so we can only view it as a net positive.
-Most of what was discussed was nothing new, but this conversation was targeted at a broader audience that is not already engaged heavily in politics.
-Trump’s promise to delete the Department of Education is a winning policy that is supported by MAGA, Libertarians, RFK Jr. supporters, some Leftists, etc., and should be talked about more.
-Trump has plans to utilize Elon in the upcoming administration, and Elon is willing to contribute, particularly in shrinking Government spending, which is also a winning policy supported by most.
-Trump did interject Elon a bit too often for my liking, but luckily Elon did a great job navigating that, and was able to maintain the flow, which improved as the conversation went on.
Overall, a huge win for Trump, for Elon, for X, and most importantly for The People. It’s not often we get that kind of transparency and access to our leaders. The more of this, the better!
Elon needs to improve his tie knotting skills. Or get longer ties.
Elon needs to shitcan ties. 
FIFY. 
Not around DJT.
Likely not popular position around here.
Good for you. Seriously. Folks wanna dress up, go for it. Freedom of choice. Zero difference to me.
Me, not much for dress codes. Clean well maintained clothes. Some other stuff.
Next Trump rally, I’ll have to check in with “rally dress code.”
Trump entering eateries or the like is good with normal folks, in normal clothes.

Unrelated to Trumpy stuff.
Somewhere around ten years.
Dressing up for God, IMO, is a matter of respect. There was a discussion on the topic a couple weekends ago with the choir director and one of my biggest fans. In the summer, a little relaxation can be in play, but not the way some people come to Church. Women, specifically. It’s a matter of respect.
“Respect”? or… “Reverence”?
BOTH!!!
“And” logic.
Both, actually. The discussion began with my fan going off on the family who sat in front of him, and the two women in the group yakking the entire Mass. Noise from a small child is generally forgiven unless the kid screams through the whole thing. But all the talking, mobiles out while scrolling, truly immodest dress, etc., is disrespectful. Even the paster noticed. I’m hoping he says something, although, this guy SUCKS at public speaking. He’s already pissed off a lot of parishoners just by changing the Mass schedule.
OK. Everyone is welcome to their opinion.
Which I do respect.
Some churches have gone to relaxed standards to increase their reach.
I still will not go into a church without wearing at least a skirt and blouse and I HATE SKIRTS AND DRESSES!
I’m a skirt and dress girl, but even then, skirts to below the knee, and tops to elbow or below. St. Augustine of Hippo laid all that out 1600 years ago.
Hey since you’re around, I saw a docu about this the other night. What’s the general Catholic view on it ? (if you might know)
Prophecy of the Popes
The Prophecy of the Popes is a series of 112 short, cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Catholic popes, beginning with Celestine II. It was first published in 1595 by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion, who attributed the prophecy to Saint Malachy, a 12th-century Archbishop of Armagh
The Catholic take? Curiosity, but I’ve never heard anything more than that. Certainly no prelates talk about it. They’re more concerned with the next Consistory.
Do you mean the next Pope?
I guess I’m curious because the so called prophecy could be seen as saying Francis will be the last
Yes. A Consistory is the election of a pope.
I know all about that prophesy. None of us pay attention to it.
TY
It was interesting to me since I can’t stand Francis
Many of us can’t either. The thing is…I’m in the “it’s not him” camp. There’s too many contradictions from the first few years to reconcile. He said Mass in Latin Ad Orientum and then wants to ban it?
Something isn’t right.
In this day and age the idea of that doesn’t shock me at all.
Trump can teach Musk The Art of the Ties.
I was thinking the same.
Some Classic Trump.
this interview is good. But the bigger story is that two of the most important world figures agree on the world. Whats that tell you? The most consequential technical genius perhaps ever and the most consequential political figure are talking about stuff on equal footing, and Trump knows everything Musk is talking about concerning energy, artificial intelligence and economic development. no politician could energetically engage on future problems like this. Most would need a staff of ten doing packets of research for each topic and still the politician will have no idea what to think.
OUR Very SPECIAL Genius(es)!

She needs a fly. Or two.
Hoe naturally attracts swarms of flies.
AND unzipped ones 
Ouch
[snort]
My point – they’re missing from the toon.
Thought I was agreeing, only added a few, flies. OK, swarm(s).
OK. One or two flies are enough. Don’t wanna over do it.
The word salad is “FOS”!!!
Okay, let me find the flies… I’ll get that to you shortly. 🤗
Perhaps this works?
I saved the layered Photoshop so I could move the flies around if you guys like. An odd number probably works best.
Odd number does work best.
It looks good.
Thank you, Gail!
Yikes, I checked Branco’s site and think I may be infringing on his copyright by addding flies. Oh dear. Oh dear. It’s fun to see, but I don’t want to infringe on the great Branco!
I think you are fine as long as you attribute the cartoon to Branco.
That’s good. I never want to do the wrong thing. 😊
And aren’t using it to make money.
nice…blood on her hands too?
I absolutely LOVE that Branco gave Kamabla the Sleepy Joe empty thought bubble AND the Obama TOTUS!!!
Be interesting to see if the salad bowl full of letter shapes will be a standard accessory, much like the sippy-cup was for Joe.
It certainly fits.
Listening to Trump and Musk:
I wondered if this was true:
Too much word-salad gives her uncontrollable flatulence.
I wonder if Kamala farts when she cackles.
The female of the species …
is badass.
And pees a little bit, too!
Yup goes along with her age. Bet she wears diapers too.
(She is too darn lazy to do exercises to combat age weaken muscles.)
That depends …
😮
IMO, an obvious truth.
Invite the dimwit.
Allow her ignorance to be on display for Millions.
Elon had a X post yesterday where he said he’d be glad to do a similar Space with Kamala.
What’s with the “halo” framing, like they did with the Obamanation?
They love to poke at Christians – in this case Catholics.
apparently Kommie is no saint…ugh
Also the head tilted up so the saggy skin under the chin doesn’t wrinkle. You can see the wrinkle marks.
I am more than a decade older and do not have those marks.
Well, ain’t you special. 😉
Of course I am!
I comment here don’t I?
I’d rather be “Special”…. than “Special Ed”. 🙂
🤔😉
BQQM!
nice catch
Also notice the upturned face, that’s Obastid’s favorite arrogant pose too.
Exactly. Plouffe is behind this. They’re re-running 2008!
Yeah I heard his name in conjunction with this election cycle.
I wonder how much he was involved in the assassination attempt? I am SURE he was involved in orchestrating the lawfare against Trump.
They (think they) are above us in every way 🙁
I always thought the snoot up was showing us their nostrils.
instead of nothing up my sleeves it’s nothing up my nose–Hunter prefers old school though 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that would be revealing in so many aspects.
And that’s why it’ll never happen.
Elon would need some special protection to avoid the massive loss of I.Q. points involved in listening to Camel-Uh for more than a few seconds.
I’m sure one of his companies can whip something up.
They’d have to be in same room cuz otherwise her grubby staff would be shoveling talking points to her like they used to with ‘former’ pres biden
That’s true. She’d have a teleprompter hiding in the corner.
She’s gonna need the Obama TOTUS.
If there was a competition for worst Olympic committee ever, these guys would win it 😂
Betcha they got bonuses.
Let PDT direct the 2028 Olympics in the US and it’ll recover.
True. Except we need Trump in the WH.
Yes, surely Trump can and does multi task, as no one else can.
But, LA?
LA is a sewer, with laws ensuring LA remains a sewer.
Good money after bad.
—
Change the Olympics venue, which won’t happen, and I’d agree with Trump getting involved with the Olympics at some level.
Regardless, if Trump is in the WH, he’ll get involved.
and why give LA not only $$ to clean themselves up as a venue and be presentable–but also give them revenue streams (hotels/ etc)?
give it to a community that deserves it.
Apparently about $2 billion dollars worth.
Ask Zelenskyy. He knows where billions go to hide.
“The Games May Never Recover”
____________
The games will be just fine, they cost nothing.
It’s the ‘committee’ of worthless gasbags, demons and communists that should never recover.
The X wheels are a nice touch.
Love it!
Trumps X-Spaces conversation with Musk is now at 1.6 million views:
That does not include other media, such as Rumble, Gab, etc.
It’s the reaction after the pitch 😁
.
Showing it can still be a game of gentlemen….
Incredible delivery. Great reaction by both pitcher AND batter.
Elon Musk:
DOJ, FIB AND HLS need a refresher on fundamental American values.
They need shizcanned. The alphabets are totally corrupted. Start over with the US Marshals in charge and work from there. Accept experienced patriots from the agencies who are vetted thoroughly by the Marshals.
Will never happen. PDT will not do it. He will try to do with them what he has with the GOP.
What makes you think the US Marshals aren’t also corrupted?
That’s practically a biblical understanding of human nature (corrupt, fallen, sin nature) behind that legit inquiry 😉 😉 Nice to see you here, Steve!
Well more to the *immediate* point I’ve often seen people say that PDJT should use the Marshals to X, Y or Z…and I wonder why the people who say that just assume there’s no issue with the Marshals.
I agree; where is the evidence?
IIRC, Voice of America is a broadcast intended for and directed to foreign countries. So it’s good enough for foreigners but not good enough for us.
Sad.
One person’s theory about J13:
Trump and beyond. On J13, We, America, The World, Dodged A Bullet.
Our preferred way ahead IS fragile.
Wild. But certainly possible.
Is THAT why Trump jumped up screaming “fight, fight, fight?” Did he know or suspect what they were trying to do?
Man, we live in some scary times.
Aubergine
Well, there were all those “fake” Secret Service agents around President Trump on 13 July. What “orders” were they given?
That photo of President Trump on the floor of the stage in Butler PA after he was shot in the ear — one believes he was gathering his strength to STAY OFF ANY STRETCHER.
Agreed. I’m sure he was praying.
Agreed. Proof of life. It matters.
Agree “it is a scary time we live in”
Oh, I am totally on board with this theory.
I was wondering WHY the DS was floating that photoshopped image of Trump being hit in the vest.
Once they had him “hit” they could have applied the coup de grace somewhere else.
They have done it before.
Possible, we’ve seen several people put on stretchers that appeared well enough not to need one. Abe was one. The woman out in California with the sheet already over her head but she tries to get free before they shove her in the back of the ambulance. Forget what that one was about but it was high profile at the time.
AND IIRC she ended up dead.
Yes she did. 😮
Ellen Degenerate’s ex, iirc
Yes, that was it. She had been saying things publicly about pedos and child traffickers before her car went nuts and crashed into her garage, then caught on fire.
With her locked inside.
Anne Heche?
Yes! That was the name!
Wikipedia has a good description of her death. No drugs found in her system.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Heche
I had the same feeling when I saw Trump duck and they piled on him when Trump got up I overcame with fear that they would kill him on the way to the hospital. Then I checked myself and thought I was over reacting. Yes they would have killed him . He wanted his shoes why did the shoes fly off? Maybe one of SS took the off. I agree with the whole post These Truths
Secret Circus person yelled: “Donald… Duck!”
Sorry, couldn’t resist 🙂
Funny 🙂 I cannot spell 🙂
How is your wife doing?
We are both great now. Thanks for asking. Turns out we both had it. IVM and Zinc 2 days in a row and now good as before.
Good stuff glad you got over covid so fast 🙂
Trump said his shoes came off because the SS tackled him so hard.
Maybe they did not wanted for Trump to walk away 🙂 Only kidding
Syringe mark is hard to spot between the toes. Junkies used to use that trick in order to deny that they are junkies.
Trump knows 🙂
You don’t see this every day… 😂

Milei President of Argentina appreciates shout-out by Trump on X-Spaces yesterday:
Oooh, I bet that gave bureaucrats a shiver.
This should be read along with
https://mises.org/mises-daily/forgotten-depression-1920
In 1920, the United States went into a depression — production fell, unemployment rose, markets declined. Rather than running the printing presses to prop up the foolish who had steered the economy into the ditch, the government cut government spending and interference — and the economy pulled itself out of the ditch in 1921.
By contrast, the Great Depression started in 1929 and government actions kept it going through most of the 1930s [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forgotten_Man:_A_New_History_of_the_Great_Depression ].
Milei’s chainsaw looks better all the time.
Very interesting.
Learn stuff, lotsa stuff everyday here QTree.
Aligns perfectly with Elon and Trump talking about increasing Federal spending, increases inflation.
Inflation is a distortion in the pricing signal. Another thing that can produce inflation is an increase in the government-mandated minimum wage.
No matter what wage someone is paid in their first job, they are probably overpaid. They need to get accustomed to the saddle of showing up on time, doing something useful for their employer, and being reliable to their fellow-workers. During this initial period, they are likely worth less than nothing to their employer — and if the government mandates that they be paid $100/hr, they will never be hired.
The true minimum wage is, and always will be, $0.
THIS!!!
Mandated minimum wage changes the motivation of the first time employee from learning and serving to entitlement.
It also ENCOURAGES the paying of workers under the table.
Min Federal Tax = 10%
NC average Tax = 7%
S.S. — tax total = 12.4% — I include Employer + Employee
Medicare tax = 2.9% — I include Employer + Employee
___________________
TOTAL (saved) = 32.3%
24.65% by employee & 7.65% by employer
So $10/hr is equivalent to ~$12.50/hr and the employer saves an additional 0.76/hr
….
The current Federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour
Federal Student Minimum Wage – $6.16
Federal Under 20 Minimum Wage – $4.25
However, around here ~$10 is typical.
Technically, the so-called employer portion of SS is false; it is paid by the employee because it would be paid as wages if not mandated to be paid to the gubmint. .
EXACTLY, it is a typical slate of hand. That is why Corporations talk of a ‘Compensation PACKAGE’ It is not just your pay check but all the rest, like workman’s comp, SS, medicare, life insurance, health insurance….
If you shake hands with an employee for $10/hour, you will likely pay about $14 and they will likely get about $7.
Sounds about right. Thanks for bringing the nuts and bolts to the conversation.
AMEN!
A business has to make a profit so the owners are paid for THEIR TIME/INVESTMENT. If the minimum wage is jacked up too high, if the business is burdened with too many regulations, taxes and high energy costs, the business either MOVES OUT OF THE COUNTRY OR CLOSES!
It is really simple to understand but it is never TAUGHT.
I can remember taking a small business course in MA, and the instructor patiently trying to explain to an exceptionally DUMB idiot, that YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT! He could not get past her conditioning that making a profit was EVIL. 🙄
Well, he should have just asked her who the sugar daddy is that would pay the bills.
I am sure he was tempted. DUMB BLOND really fit this woman! She gave the other blondes I know a bad name.
Unfortunately business share in some of the blame. Some people are content with their minimum wage jobs and giving longevity raises are unfortunately not part of the normal practice for mid size and smaller companies. They likely could of avoided all these hikes in minimum wage if they were given with more frequency.
You are taking aim at the WRONG entity.
Just as an example of what my small business has done:
Running costs:
Diesel: originally $1.20 per gallon now $3.76
hay: originally $1.50 now ~$15.00
Grain: originally $2 for a 50 lb bag now $24 per bag
Hoof trimming $7 per horse now $44 per horse
Essentially you can add a zero going from 1995 to now. Yet my prices only went up 1/2 that and I had to EAT the difference.
…..
This is what INFLATION has done.
A much simpler example was my hay guy had to pay TRIPLE the amount for fertilizer between 2020 and 2021 but he can not CHARGE triple the amount for his hay. He certainly is not going to raise the wages for the guys who help him.
The Tiger Rescue actually had a MONTH LONG WAITING LIST a couple years ago. Normally I can donate an ill pony that day. People were off loading horses they could not pay to care for and could not sell.
Now add in the COST of regulation for the businesses that are now regulated.
Federal Regulations Have Made You 75 Percent Poorer
Your closing sentence should be engraved on the Treasury facade.
If one were inclined to give a 10-minute speech on Keynesian economics, it would start with GDP per capita — stuff per person. This would be modulated by “aggregate demand” boosting GDP — if people are fearful and not buying, government can step in and buy stuff, leading to more stuff per person.
If there were one word to summarize Austrian economics, it would be “malinvestment”. People won’t feel good if they are loaded down with useless crap.
Libertarians know that everything that government touches turns to crap…..which means that all those government schemes to replace organic demand with government spending cannot increase people’s well-being.
To round things out, money flushed into the economy without a corresponding increase in well-being inevitably turns into inflation.
Remember when Obama complained about having fewer “shovel-ready” projects than he expected? That’s a sign that money going to increase “aggregate demand” will not actually provide any economic benefit.
You might as well just call it “malinvestment” before you write the check.
To illustrate: One guy is paid to dig a hole and a second guy is paid to fill it in.
If you are NOT putting a post or a tree in that hole 😆 then it is “malinvestment”
ANOTHER FAVORITE: The Broken–Window Fallacy | Mises Institute
They do a great job explaining the fallacy.
I consider the War in Ukraine an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. Remember Black Rock is already buying land at rock bottom prices JUST WAITING for the flood of tax payer money coming to ‘Rebuild’ Ukraine.
Money that goes to windmill farms when they litter the beaches of Nantucket instead of providing energy is “malinvestment”.
Your ten minute pitch would be enlightening. Appreciated.
You already got about 3 minutes of it. Much of the remaining would cover the problem of measuring GDP — there are several methods that are supposed to come to the same result, but clearly do not. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_domestic_product ]
Keynesians love the expenditure approach because they want to justify government expenditures.
ALL government paychecks should be EXCLUDED from GDP because THEY SUCK MONEY out of the economy instead of producing something.
The only exceptions would be those actually building something useful like roads, bridges, damns and maybe the postal service.
here’s a thought…let’s exclude them from GETTING a paycheck. keeping excluding one after another until the budget balances again.
LOVE IT!
Don’t forget to go after the PENSIONS too!
Why should we PAY a pension to some ASSHOLE who spent his time at ‘work’ viewing PORN on his government computer? OR working for the DNC?
good point!
And, again, the genius of these videos is that they are real…..
and
I should point out that I am old enough to remember when various proposals would be sent to upper management to be evaluated against “Internal Rate of Return”. Interest rates would act like a knife to divide good ideas from stupid ones — none of this DEI and woke BS would have survived ten seconds of such scrutiny….not to mention green, net zero, or decarbonization.
So interest rates were artificially depressed some decades back so that these idiotic and inane ideas might seem plausible. I doubt that any accountant under 30 years old has any clue how to even make such an evaluation any more….
You can probably guess which side I favor.
Good job on explaining these basics, coothie.
People won’t feel good if they are loaded down with useless crap.
Reminded me of one of my favorite vids:

Seems like that would be a piece of cake for the Real ID matching process
one would hope
If they can ID 50000 fans watching a football game they should be able to find this one but…………..they’ll probably never find him and the motive unknown. Standard Operating Procedure
“They” only find what they WANT to find.
no doubt 🙁
He looks like a typical left winger. I useful idiot for the dems.

interesting possibility
Certainly looks like one!
Here are a few gems from the replies seen on nitter
Not donated to Trump campaign.
Donated to winred, which means part of it goes to Trump but not all of it.
True. However there is MORE to the story.
This is unlike the 2020, when RNC pillaged Trumper donations through WinRed. Donations RNC shunted to never Trmp r-Con assholes..
Fast forward to Trump 2024.
WinRed linked in Trump 2024.
“Joint fundraising proceeds shall be allocated among the committees as follows: 50% to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 general election), 50% to Save America, and any contribution exceeding the legal amount that may be contributed to either of the Committees will be allocated to Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. (2024 recount fund).”
>>> ZERO dollars to the rank and file r-Con assholes. <<<
Personally I think this is good, if not strategically smart.
https://secure.winred.com/save-america-joint-fundraising-committee/bf1d23bd52c25ba6
So if I feel like helping DJT with $1000 donation, I have to donate $2000 in order to satisfy my feeling.
That’s a helluva cover charge.
Laughing here. Yea, one helluve cover charge.
After this troll, I’m done for this nonsense. Was trying to be helpful. My mistake.
IIRC, there is a mail in option, all goes to Trump, IF that is indicated on the donation form.
Addition cost is a buck, I suppose. Whatever stamps cost, paper, ink…
People donate however they wish.
Rathe confidant Trump had several good reasons to have this agreement with WinRed.
https://secure.winred.com/save-america-joint-fundraising-committee/bf1d23bd52c25ba6
WinRed HOPEFULLY is ALSO getting Senators and Congresscritters elected.
Ideally yes.
Perhaps not so much Winred, as RNC managing WinRed process AND vectoring money, MAGA way.
If I were to guess, Trump has vectored Lara Trump to ensure WinRed supports MAGA types.
Perhaps also the swill that can be herded when needed.
The incumbents likely have a machine that keeps them in office.
Trump will cover all bases. Lara seems to be doing a great job.

I do wonder if any Trumps will run for office in 26, 28… Hope they do. Business minds. Honest. America first.

I’m not pleased with this. While I understand it, those older Americans should be respected more than being lumped in with SlowJoe.
JMO. No personal offense intended. 😍
Nearly posted a like thought.
Sorry for any offence PGroup. I guess that I took that to be that he needed to be in some type of memory care facility rather than “functioning” as pResident.
I was not offended by you, or even by the meme maker. Just had a twinge of yuck because those oldsters never consented to having their pics lumped in with our Crook in Chief.

DePat: ty for the link to Shadowplay. I already bought it for $6 and look forward to reading it.
Long, long ago during my extended Shakespeare phase I got the distinct impression Shakespeare was Catholic. Now I cannot remember why, except that the “clues” were always implicit but there.
If true, it would be an interesting angle on who really wrote Shakespeare.
Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. He was actually educated by Jesuits back when the Jesuits were still what St. Ignatius Loyola founded.
There is very little evidence that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and such that exists is suspect. That does not necessarily mean he did not.
But there is substantial evidence that he did not. Many find it conclusive, and others do not, although the latter will often find it formidable.
The extent and provenance of his education is one of those questions which is the subject of sophisticated speculation. I have never seen any case which could be called conclusive, other than the fact that whoever wrote Sahekespeare was necessarily erudite and well educated, as well as worldly. This would be consistent with authorship by committee. And Elizabeth herself was erudite and well educated, as were many of the nobility, and some of the non-nobility.
Because Shakespeare was written during decades of turmoil, government repression, secrecy, intrigue, fierce factionalism and extemist inclinations, it is difficult to truly understand specific motives and intent. Many things were hidden, had multiple meanings, and unknown aspects or layers of significance.
My own assessment is that certainty is impossible. But Shakespeare is an amazingly fasinating subject, as that whole generational period is, which is why I am grateful for your link and look forward to reading the book.
“Is Bloomberg serious about this? Do Republicans feel terrified by Tim Walz’s masculinity?”
When you are a latte-drinking, soy-eating, socialist candy-ass, this guy looks masculine to you:
Jazz hands? Really?
I spit water all over the floor, Aubergine. thanks for the LAUGH!
Lol, YW. And sorry about the floor!
it’s just water…lol
but those jazz hands? HYSTERICAL!!!!!!
Shades of Liza Minnelli:
giggle giggle
It needed cleaning. 😆
Walz is a Fag AND a Chinee agent..
All that other stuff, further detracts from a total communist fraud.
My GELDINGS are more masculine that Tim Walz. Candy Ass is a good description.
😂
This is a masterful explanation of the seriousness of “Tampon Tim” Walz leaving his unit pre-deployment. Coward for sure, but I had no idea how important his role was, and how devastating his leaving it would have been to the unit:
“The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of controversy regarding the military service record of Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. My X account has seen the most traffic it has ever known as I have discussed this issue at length, and I thought it would be a good idea now to take a deep breath and kind of recap where we are at in this controversy. I know for sure that the veteran community is fired up over this issue, but I sense that many from the non-veteran community do not know what to think given the competing arguments from both sides of the political aisle.
I would like to share my own personal experiences and thoughts as a retired Army colonel and veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan. What I hope for civilians to understand is this: The issue is not the number of years Walz served, or when he submitted his retirement paperwork, or what his final rank was, or even — just as a stand-alone proposition — whether he ever went to combat. No, the issue is the unique and special position of trust he held when he decided to walk away from his soldiers, his unit, and his nation. I’ll explain.”

This article needs to be spread far and wide.
Article is in the queue. Will be read.
—
My take. As I recall.
Think back a bit, to Iraq.
Bush and company scrambling to sustain Iraq War.
Long deployments. Rotations, one after another. Active Army assets over taxed.
Reserve Army was Activated as never before in my life.
Typically these guys do a weekend a month. Two weeks in summer. Allowed to miss some of that stuff.
NOT truly trained, maintained training level for active combat.
Walz knew about the Warning Order AND I understand Deployment Order.
Walz was in a key leadership role.
Yes. I have never been in an active war zone, thankfully. Above is what I know and understand having served with many warriors, Marine Corps and Navy. Incredible respect for them.
—
Now add in Walz Serial Liar, Embellishing, Lying, Refusing to speak honestly.
—
BTW. It would be telling if Walz released his DD-214 received at his final discharge. (Enlisted are discharged every time they reenlist.)
DD-214 lists major deployments, Medals and Ribbons and rank on date of discharge.
IMO [I am not a vet] there was a failure of command when Walz pulled this stunt. He should have been told delay your retirement or face court martial.
Of course the command structure may have determined that he couldn’t be trusted to lead his troops in combat once he played the retirement card. But in that case, he should have faced court martial for conduct unbecoming.
Probably an option to say no to retirement request. If so, should have been, no.
Dunno about the Court Martial stuff. Would likely have had to escalate to, refusing to deploy or the like.
Dunno know much about Army Reserve rules. Officer or enlisted.
He went around his direct report, who states he would have said NO. He went out of the chain of command to someone who would say YES.
This guy is a piece of shit.
I missed that. Thanks. Walz is a despicable person.
Excellent article.
As I mentioned before, the sergeant RUNS the battalion on a day to day basis from what I could see as an Army wife.
Also on the: “….I can hear my midwit Democrat pals shouting, “WHAT ABOUT CADET BONESPURS, HMMMMM!?!?”….”
THAT is PURE IGNORANCE!
I have bone spurs on my heels. I used Vietnam boots to cave in. It was HELL trying to wrap my ankles with elastic bandages in such a way that I could keep the back of the boot from rubbing raw spots on my heel spurs. We are talking a few hours walking in those boots, not days on end.
Also I have a bone spur on my thumb. It HURTS like a mother if it gets touched. I therefore wanted it to be removed. I was told they could remove it but it would just grow back even worse and there was a chance of infection.
So yes, Bonespurs ARE DISQUALIFYING for a darn good reason!
GREAT article.
Captures the issues incredibly well.
Everyone, non-veteran and veteran alike should read this article.
Aubergine, thank you for posting.
YW!
… there ya go … team work, team mates .. for life!!
Explains exactly how we, Vets, feel … coward …
This is personal to me in a different way. I am working me way up to telling the story. It’s very deep for me.
Would that perhaps fit in a stand alone post, pulling in some of the Walz threads by way of comparison?
May the Lord minister the oil & wine of His grace in those areas where those wounds still need healing. God be with you in the timing & delivery of your tale.
Thank you.
YW. I look forward to whenever & however you choose to share 🙂
Help!
we need that meme with the guy and the poking stick, “C’mon Kamala, do the X space!”
Alison, will this work?
Add wavy long hair and a skirt.
Love it 🩷🩷🙌 Thank you, Barb 🤓
IIRC, it was kalbo who called this one — there was a massive DDOS attack on the Musk-President Trump interview last night:
https://vigilantfox.news/p/the-elontrump-interview-highlights
Musk posted on X last evening.
“Suspicious Dog” says this “smells funny” — might be real (Fauci actually is “vaccinated and boosted” for a total of SIX COVID-19 “vaccine” injections) — or, might be a “nudge” to get the sheeple to get their “annual updated COVID vaccine.”
(On the other hand, Yours Truly’s “fully vaccinated and boosted” sister has had COVID three times — and one’s guess is that she’ll line up to get the “2024-2025 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” when it rolls out in the next month or so.)
https://modernity.news/2024/08/12/dr-fauci-reveals-hes-infected-with-covid-for-third-time-after-being-vaccinated-and-boosted-six-times/
Fauci ‘Covid’ = COLD virus!
Fauci is a lot of things, all not good or nice. But Fauci is not ignorant.
Any Jabs Fauci got were photo ops, with saline or whatever is harmless.
Fauci has Covid…is PR skeery stuff.
Federal lies on parade.
Coming in a couple months, latest covid skeer or the like. Get Jabbed or stay home. Majority of Americans will flip the Feds off.
T.H.I.S. right here …
This is infuriating, but informative.

OK, this one got to me (h/t Marica’s blog) — this 90-year old veteran is AT THE PAWN SHOP, pawning his wife’s jewelry to raise money so he can take care of her (she has dementia.) He looks just like my late paternal grandfather.
Watch what happens.
(Hint — the GoFundMe that was then set up for him already has over $300K raised.)
Wonderful news. Happy for this great man.
kalbo
What was heartbreaking to Yours Truly was watching this man pull out from his old wallet a few trinkets of jewelry from his wife that he was going to pawn to raise some money to help take care of her. It immediately brought back memories of how deeply my grandfather and grandmother loved each other. They were married for 54 years before he passed away.
Yes, heartbreaking here also.
Tough for the old guy to reconcile with.
Whatever her awareness level is, likely she’ll never know about her treasured jewelry being pawned. Surely at one time, that jewelry related to warm happy memories. Thankfully she is in great loving hands.
Your grandparents were lucky people to be able to share their love for each other 54 years. 💖
Last week my husband and I celebrated 59 years. Yes the love is real and gets better every year 🙂
You are so right .. the Mrs and me are now at 45 years and lovin” it!!
Congrats. 45 a few weeks ago. Happy wife. Happy life. 
Congratulation 🙂
Wonderful milestone Singing. God bless you Both Richly!!!
Thank you 🙂
YW 🙂
Just looked at the GoFundMe for Donald, the vet. It’s at $387K. There are a couple of updates from the organizer on the webpage.
Great updates.
Nice to see the GFM organizer is looking out for Donald, as he is certainly vulnerable, to losing that money.
The organizer and Donald need to run silent, so Donald can best take care of his wife and be himself, safe.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-elderly-vet-friend-donald
kalbo
Agreed, and I think the organizer is going to arrange the “run silent.”
Just looked again — $390K out of the $400K goal is raised.
Wonderful news.
Donald relax a bit, AND focus on DW and his own health.
For some reason my screen got all watery….
Better call my computer guy….

Now they have been taking the DNA of only 30% of the illegal invaders. These whistleblowers are extremely courageous.
“Catherine Herridge Report: Whistleblowers Reveal Homeland Security’s Sinister Plot to Drive Them to Suicide for Exposing Border Agency’s Federal DNA Collection Failures”
Excerpts:
The whistleblowers have risked their careers to reveal that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of DHS, has systematically failed to collect the DNA of illegal immigrants as mandated by the DNA Fingerprint Act. This law, passed in 2005 with bipartisan support, mandates the collection of DNA samples from non-U.S. persons detained for immigration violations.
This failure has allowed violent criminals to evade detection and commit further crimes on American soil.
In an exclusive interview with Catherine Herridge, the whistleblowers detailed a chilling campaign of retaliation, including demotions, the stripping of law enforcement credentials, and the creation of a hostile work environment. According to the whistleblowers, the agency’s intent was clear: to silence them at any cost.
The whistleblowers, who collectively have over seven decades of law enforcement experience and held TOP SECRET clearances—Mark Jones (20 years), Fred Wynn (18 years), and Michael Taylor (31 years)—assert that the agency’s non-compliance has directly endangered American lives.
The whistleblowers argue that if CBP had adhered to the law, potential suspects could have been identified much sooner. They specifically point to Rachel Morin’s murder as a case where compliance might have saved lives.
Michael Taylor: One of the supervisors said, as a matter of fact, the agency’s goal is to bankrupt you, make you quit, die, kill yourselves, or preferably all of the above.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/catherine-herridge-report-whistleblowers-reveal-homeland-securitys-sinister/
the collection of DNA samples from non-U.S. persons detained for immigration violations
Here’s where the whistleblowers missed. There has to be an immigration violation. If the alien claims asylum, and is allowed into the country, he/she has not committed an immigration violation. Ergo, no requirement to take DNA because not detained.
“….There has to be an immigration violation….”
Isn’t crossing the border ILLEGALLY a violation?
Also ASYLUM is for the first safe country entered and not 1/2 way around the world or at least that is what Trump was trying to implement.
https://www.unhcr.org/publications/background-note-safe-country-concept-and-refugee-status
All true. But released and not detained is the key.
Had the govt provided an asylum hearing immediately [which is what should have happened], then they would be required to take a DNA sample. Because they released them without a hearing, they have been legally allowed into the country and do not have the criminal intent needed to be liable for the crime of illegal entry. All that can be done to these aliens is deportation, which DJT will be doing upon assuming office as POTUS.

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
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH
What concerns your heart today – pray you learn;
It’s the heart that reveals – for what you yearn;
God knows your heart – and the heart praises God;
The loyal heart – in thanksgiving – gives Him laud!
What – in faith – does man ask of God – his Lord?
Does he ask for money – or peace – to be cured?
Does he ask for understanding – knowledge – too?
Does he ask what God wants him – today to do?
What – in faith – will he undertake – this day?
Will he help another – to find his way?
Will he selfishly – ignore his brother?
Put his needs over those – of the other?
Will he – in faith – defer his safety to God?
Is he afraid to let go – and give Him laud?
Does he doubt God’s protection – and His care?
Does he trust God – with all he does and dare?
Faith is the substance of things hoped for;
The evidence of things not seen before;
It requires us to step forward – unsure;
Of what will happen – of what is in store!
What happened to Peter – when he doubted?
He sank into the water – to Jesus – he shouted;
I am in trouble – help me please – Oh Lord;
Had Peter had faith – he would’ve been on board!
Jesus rebuked him – for his lack of faith;
Oh Ye of Little Faith – to him – Jesus saith;
Will He say the same – when you’re filled with doubt?
Or will you have faith – and turn troubles about?
Do you know faith is blocked out – by your fear?
Listen and heed – give the Spirit your ear;
Repent of your sins – cleanse your heart today;
With the Spirit inside you – turn your fear away!
When you are troubled – try hard to refrain;
From losing heart – close to God – please remain;
It is His Spirit – who dispels your fear;
Repent of your sins – draw Him close and near!
Ask Him to increase – your faith and resolve;
Have no doubt He’ll oblige – doubt He’ll dissolve;
Step upward – outward in faith – be not afraid;
Oh Ye of Little Faith – may it ne’er be assayed!

GOT it.
And in a few months it will be deaths from cold. Which is generally more dangerous than heat. The Jab Club rule is in force, as usual; The first rule of the Jab Club is: Do not talk about the Jab Club.
And the reason why there are all these who are dying of suddenly, is something that has to be kept in the dark, while some excuse can always be found. It is the hot or the cold or traffic accidents or whatever.

The resources of this earth belong to God’s people. Prosperity is a part of God’s promise. Lack and poverty are a lie.
God reminds us many times in His Word not to fear.
You may not know exactly how God will do something, but His promise and His oath are unchangeable, and He can not break them (Heb. 6:16-20)!
Authority – power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience
Dominion – sovereignty or control; God grants people dominion over animals; domination, ruling over others, having power
Marxist – social, political, and economic philosophy, named after Karl Marx

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – THE TIME OF THE ESTABLISHMENT IS OVER – [13 August 2024]
This is a time to realize the GREAT I AM really is in control…it’s not the people who have tried to control this earth…THE TIME OF THE ESTABLISHMENT IS OVER and we should be shouting and decreeing this…the Establishment in this country and how they’ve infringed on our freedoms…the Establishment is over.
[Word heard – July 23, 2024]
My children, your enemies have pushed this too far and they will continue to press forward and the more they continue in this direction with their plans, the more people will leave the part of the Left. I told you mass exodus and it’ll become a mass chaos – more voters turning against them because they will make it more obvious in this time – voters and their opinions do not matter to them – the survival of the Establishment does.
Disenfranchising their voters in this party will become more evident. An outcry will become louder and a revolt will be seen. Your enemies don’t care about laws or how elections work. Their selection is all that matters.
My children, your enemy’s side will become more disarray and a great divide is growing. Many things have been hidden from the public with their lies and they’re about to catch up with them, more in this time. Lies on a scale never seen that will start a great shaking on the side of the Left but it will draw the ones on the Right out in the open with them. Lies will begin to be exposed more in this time. Get ready. I am drawing them out to expose them and dispose of them in this nation from their power.
Republicans that are a part of this Establishment – their masks are also about to be removed with the shaking of Washington. No more politics as usual. They’ll begin to expose themselves, where they truly stand, because fear is gripping them, knowing there is no chance to stop My David. He is coming back to the seat of the President. They are shouting – How do we hide all we have done?
MORE…

Covid under Gestapo Walz, orders police to shoot paint balls at citizens outside.
Walz Gestapo….only following orders they’d say.
orders. clearly the wrong answer. We both know that.
MN LE needs to get their heads out of their Gestapo asses.
The fact checker gang out in full force on this but the curious thing is that of course they all use this same paragraph with no explanation of if it wasn’t enforcing the curfew then what was the reason police would be doing it.
This is the paragraph~~~Users incorrectly claimed the police were enforcing a COVID-19 lockdown in Minnesota. Other users falsely said Walz “ordered” police to shoot at residents.
The police action was not related to COVID-19 lockdowns, and there is no evidence that Walz asked officers to shoot paintballs at residents.
The original video played by and with commentary by local news people… Also a page of comments beneath from 4 years ago so YES it was real and the fact checkers are LIARS
So he sends out the Gestapo to harrass peaceful folks BUT ALLOWS CRIMINALS TO BURN DOWN THE CITY!
Got it.
That’s some of that equity for ya

@admthrawnuru2 years ago
For anyone wondering, it was not a lawful order. The executive order, Emergency Executive Order 20-65, imposed “curfew… in all PUBLIC PLACES within the City of Minneapolis and the City of Saint Paul,” in which a public place is defined as “any place, whether on privately or publicly owned property, accessible to the general public.” The list of examples does include driveways, but courts hold that the curtilage is distinct from larger whole yard. In Florida v Jardines, SCOTUS said specifically that a front porch is not public for 4th amendment purposes, though it has the implicit public invitation only to communicate with the residents (i.e. you can walk up and knock, but you couldn’t just walk up and sit in someone’s porch all day). The porch is also a well-defined area with clear ownership. Ergo, gatherings on a porch, much like in a fenced-in yard, are private gatherings and not covered by the curfew order.
Sure, you can say people should follow the orders of armed and irritable police, that’s probably good advice for your health… but by the same token police should follow the law. 2 years later and no cop was punished, in fact we still don’t know who did it (National guard said it was MPD). That’s not right.

@emily.bhattarai4 years ago
I am one of the women in this video. There was a curfew in effect that stated “the curfew is for all public places, including streets, stretching from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m in Minneapolis and St. Paul.” It didn’t mention anything about not being able to be on your own porch/property. This was a complete violation of our rights as HUMAN BEINGS.
& in reply to her:
@robwaters982013 hours ago
@infiniteblaz3416 its an unlawful order by an authoritarian and abusive local government. The ‘porch’ is private property excluded from the definition of ‘public places’ as defined by the Supreme Court (Florida v Jardines). It doesn’t matter if the police offered her milk and cookies or pulled out loaded guns and ordered people to go inside the house, the police (under control of the state executive branch and Governor Walz) had ZERO legal authority to make such a request/order.

If this is truly you then you have a giant lawsuit that you can file. The whole thing was unlawfully ordered. If you want to be a millionaire sue them.
Thanks for the follow up posts.
In my world, Walz story line is meaningless. Does NOT matter.
This sort of stuff really needs to go viral. Walz Will Be Toast, as he should be.
Local news is also FUBAR.
Absolutely agree. They shot AT the people on the porch who had on their face masks too…
The newscaster also said some had been “whacked on the leg by batons” while on their porches

Massachusetts begins mass deportations as ‘sanctuary state’ crushed under burden of illegal immigration
The number of filings in Massachusetts immigration courts could reach nearly 59,000 by the end of September. The 2023 fiscal year saw 54,000 deportation cases, the largest number of filings in the state since 2001.
In July, Healey announced that the state would be limiting stays in overflow shelters to five days for illegal immigrants, and that the state is offering to pay for plane tickets and travel expenses for illegal immigrants who want to leave the state.

They’re not deporting them . They’re sending them anywhere else to be a burden in other States
it’s the latest dance craze–The Illegal Shuffle! all the blue states are doing it!
🙂 YES !
The illegals must be feeling important, being flown around, hotels, food, healthcare, spending money……..when that spigot is turned off…hate to think of the chaos that will happen.

“T….his is a good time to recall the lesson George McGovern learned when he started a boutique hotel after his political career ended, only to learn the bitter lessons of the heavy foot of government regulation. This led McGovern to express a heresy:
Well, just how much private sector experience do Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have between them? Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Not even with a non-profit organization (which maybe doesn’t count)….”
And to go with it:

‘Reshaping the Electorate’: Biden-Harris Admin Granting Citizenship at Fastest Rate in a Decade
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/13/report-immigrants-gaining-u-s-citizenship-at-fastest-rate-in-a-decade/
I bet those ‘citizenships’ skipped several required steps, rendering them improper and therefore invalid.
We shall see.
I’d bet lots of steps skipped. Improper, invalid, all of that.
Problem is identify the details. Then whatever steps to correct the problem. Courts move at a glacial pace and we don’t have lotsa time.
2024 General Election vote is ~85 days away.
Would guess, somehow courts need to intervene, before citizenship granted.
100%, we shall see.

“The severe geomagnetic storm of Aug. 12th sparked widespread auroras in both hemispheres… Upon closer inspection, not all the lights were auroras. Many observers saw STEVE:
Taken by Ian Griffin on August 12, 2024 @ Papanui Inlet on the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand
STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) is the pink ribbon of light in Griffin’s photo. It looks like an aurora, but it is not. The pink glow is caused by hot (3000°C) ribbons of gas flowing through Earth’s magnetosphere faster than 13,000 mph. Strong geomagnetic storms do a good job of setting these ribbons in motion…”

Specifically at 1:53:34 is a news clip about the NON-APPEARANCE of the National Guard to ENFORCE CURFEW during the 4th day of the George Floyd riots.
That news clip of course has since been REMOVED…
Compare that to the ‘LIGHT THEM UP’ with paint balls gestapo during the covid curfew.
Compare? With Walz, NOT surprised.
Walz needs to go. I think Walz will go. Dring DNC convention, 19-22 August.
Also think Walz was a known loser and suggesting Walz as number two, intentional.
D-rats will then bring some other less despicable puke. Still gonna be a douche nominated.

Sorry to hear it but his aides will carry on with his work just as they have been for years I’m sure
I hope he’ll have the same result as Fetterman had. Seriously.
Tonight’s comedy segment—
Can anyone explain geofencing and if this will help j6 at all?
I think Geofencing is how that PA state trooper found Dave Stewart when he was sitting in his car at 10PM.
Ah hah. Ok. He was pretty freaked out. 😳
Considering he had just bought a new phone, I would be too!
Think 2000 mules, or whatever the number was. Tracked mules carrying likely illegal ballots, stuffing boxes. Track folks by their phones.
same way they tracked Crooks to DC near FIB building, shooting range…
Commercially available information.
Commercially available so getting warrants wasnt necessary?
But they did and thats why its unconstitutional?
I hope pdjt gets in and pardons everyone immediately. And goes after the actual criminals.
Professor whoever (NM fired him. Law Professor.) did 2000 Mules.
The stuff with crooks prolly a warrant.
J6
>>> Stuff Feds did was, my understanding, “strong arm”, “bully” VZ, T-Mobile, etc. That would be illegal.
>>> Feds did the same with banks, CC used in DC and local area J6, prolly J5 & J7. Illegal.
Feds, I think also got airlines to NOT sell airline tickets to customers flying into DC and out coinciding with J6. Gotta be illegal.
WAG. Feds with Hotels prolly did some shenanigans also.
Dave Clements was the Prof. Gregg Phillips was the guy who did the Geo fencing for True The Vote 2000 Mules.
Thank you.
Finally had a chance to go back and read the Fourth Circuit tossing the J6 Geo fencing warrants. AWESOME!
Guessing a whole lot of J6 cases may get tossed, if lawyers can tie in the geo fencing warrant. Fruit of the poison tree, or whatever lawyers call it.
Makes sense. Ty.
Yea. I should have read the article, before trying to answer what looked like a simple question.
Geofencing is when you start with the area and ask the phone system what phones were in the area. A search warrant would start with the phone and ask where it has been.
Got it.
If I read the article correctly. Feds used a warrant to figure out who was in an area – within the geofence. Cast a wide net looking for all the fish.
Perhaps I got the article wrong.
Hm. Ok. Ty.
And they had no crime to connect to the warrant. I see.
Yes. Better stated — regular police work would start with a crime, identify a suspect, and get a warrant for the location of the suspect’s phone over some time period.
Geofencing starts with an area and traces all phones that were in that area. There is no “suspect” or even “crime” to start with.
Ergo the “fishing.” Ok 👍
guilty until Proven innocent 😡
This opinion is noise unless SCOTUS rules that such searches violate the constitution.
Ok. Seems noise is abundant.
Please bypass this post if you have a weak stomach for disgusting things that Tampon Tim Walz (or somebody with the same name) may or may not have done.
OK. You have a strong stomach.
You may have heard about the young Tim Walz of the same age as Kamabla’s Tim Walz, who drank horse semen and had his stomach pumped when it disagreed with him, only to gain notoriety in the local and regional newspapers, which somebody saved.
Well, no more than a day or two after I read about this, The Climate Change Channel ( whoops, I mean the Woke Weather Channel) runs a story that drinking horse milk isn’t weird – it’s healthy!
“Horse Milk Ice Cream Could Be In Your Future”
Yeah. Nice cover job.
I see what they did there.
Seems it was Tampon Tim who had the weak stomach.

With 10% of the votes counted she is ahead by 3%.
They came surprisingly close.
Next time, in two years, with plenty of organization, they can get rid of her!
Omar still as a general to go through, no? Maybe enough people will hate Walz’s track record so much her R opponent might sneak through.
