And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

MATTHEW 19:16-26
16And behold, one came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?” 17And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said, “You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20The young man said to him, “All these I have observed; what do I still lack?” 21Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. 23And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

“‘A Bunch of Dead Robots:’ Frigid Chicago Temps Turn EV Charging Stations into ‘Car Graveyards’ ”

Unless one is traveling cross country, I don’t know why anyone would ever use a public charging station.
JD Power Study: Electric Vehicle Owners Prefer Dedicated Home Charging Stations
John Voelcker
Feb. 5, 2021
“Many non-EV owners’ concerns revolve around public charging: Where do I find a station? How often do I have to recharge? How long will it take? How much does it cost? These questions reflect the “gas station model,” in which adding energy to a car requires visiting a place.
In reality, 80% of EV charging is done at home — almost always overnight — or while a car is parked during the workday. So how easy it is to live with an electric car depends in part on how easy it is to juice up at home or at the office and how much it costs in those places.
There are three ways to charge at home, each with pros and cons. Every EV comes with a portable charging cord that lets the driver plug it into a 120-volt (“Level 1”) household outlet.
Using those outlets is easy, but the charge is slow. More and more of those portable cords now allow charging through faster, higher-power 240-volt (“Level 2”) plugs like those used for electric clothes dryers.”
There seems to be a disconnect in expectations. If EVs are only to be used for short trips around town, so that a charge overnight at home would be sufficient, that’s one thing. But many people have looked at them as substitutes for gas-powered vehicles. That would mean traveling cross-country for vacations, business trips, and the like, in which case people need reliable, available charging stations, similar to gas stations. But instead of realizing that EVs were not meant for such trips, people have had to learn the hard way by setting out on a journey, only to find that charging stations aren’t available or aren’t working or take forever to charge the vehicle, greatly inconveniencing them and impacting their timeline.
Maybe it’s a marketing issue. But I think if EVs had initially been marketed as vehicles intended for local use only, that would have negatively impacted their sales. Few people can afford the luxury of housing, insuring, and maintaining an extra car that they can’t rely on for a road trip. Instead, EVs were touted as the new “green” answer for the planet, so of course people thought they would be substitutes for gas-powered vehicles.
Typical of the Leftist Advertising. It never ever lives up with their promise but DOES siphon money from YOUR pocket into THEIRS and increases their control of your life.
This! 😡
Playing off of…
Typical of the Leftist Advertising.
>>> Fixing something that is NOT broken.
EVs solve Nothing.
EXACTLY.
Not unless we BURN THE COAL and FIRE UP THE NUKES.
Then they’re excellent, although we could probably develop an electrochemical way to recycle CO2 from the atmophere into some kind of liquid organic fuel.
Teslas are basically COAL-POWERED.
Feds think it is a secret…
And they can be nuclear.
It’s probably not that difficult from an engineering standpoint to make methanol out of water and CO2…but it won’t be as cheap as extracting it from plants. If we had really cheap energy, that could change…and we could burn the same carbon over and over again in cars. The climate pukes will have to find another excuse to force us to live as cavemen.
Exactly. Climate commies would become some other type of commie.
My preference would be the dead kind.
But oh well.
My preference would be the dead kind of commie, but oh well.
“There seems to be a disconnect in expectations. If EVs are only to be used for short trips around town, so that a charge overnight at home would be sufficient, that’s one thing.”
_______________
If I remember correctly, a full charge is about 330 miles, so 165 miles each direction.
Much further than a short trip around town. Most people don’t drive that far (330 miles) on a daily basis.
THAT is ‘name plate’ under ideal conditions.It would be much less in cold weather, esp with the heat on, defrost, stuck in traffic…
My Last commute in MA was ~55 miles one way. Going shopping afterwords without a recharge esp in weather like we have today ( a balmy 14 F in NC) would be a bit dicey.
My daily commute was 194 miles round trip for over a decade.
That is HORRIBLE! Actually that was if I went straight home. If you added the trip to the boarding stable every day, it would be over 150 mi a day.
I hear you, Gail. I loved my house, I loved supporting counterterrorism LEOs back when that mattered. It was extra bad some days and you never knew until you got safely home. Mom should not have taught me we can do anything we set our minds to. hehe
It falls right in with their plans for control. They want 15 minute cities and don’t want the unwashed from different “sectors” mingling/plotting with each other
Mingling/plotting used to be called socializing. 😟
Socializing..so quaint yet so inherently dangerous to the we vil control you crowd!
Exactly! They’re trying to ease us into the prisons of their making.
Yep including using the very pervasive cyber prisons in the financial area and communication area. We all jumped at the convenience of online transactions..now they can track and deny if they want. We all use (even here) love being able to talk freely but now..they’re ready and able to take the info we’ve provided and use it to prevent us talking .
It’s almost like we slept walked right in prison gate. .
What is the difference between a 15 minute city and feudal serfdom?
… about a thousand years /s 😉
Boom!
In other words, they LIED.
Workplace will have charging outlets for employees. <<< That IS LOLF.
Planning my life, my day, around charging stations is
stoopidignorant.Gas stations are everywhere.
Read somewhere, EV owners commonly complain about, “battery charging anxiety.”
In Boston, they did not even have PARKING!!! I used the subway, bike and walked.
Sounds a lot like a 15 minute city.
The local Albertsons [now Safeway] here in Port Orchard WA installed two charging stations. Did they run a line from the nearest power pole? Nooooo …
The city built a nat gas powered generator on the periphery of the parking lot to power the damn things which are at the best locations relative to the store.
The smell of subsidy is intense with this one.
What happened to their carbon credit scam?
Just wait a bit…
THINK SMART METERS. The ability to shut down individual houses separately.
This is from my 2015 notes:
JEFFID: America is voluntarily shutting down its energy production
In short can the USA survive a 20% reduction (201GW) of generating capacity for three years or are there going to be frequent blackouts sparking riots? The reduction of capacity so far has already brought the grid to the edge. There is no more spare capacity buffering the system from what I can see.
New natural gas plants and the pipelines to replace coal are not being built as planned while the coal plants are being shuttered at 5 times the rate expected. Most of the plant closings are on the east coast where it just so happens “George Soros spent $33 MILLION bankrolling Ferguson demonstrators to create ‘echo chamber’ and drive national protests” SEE: (wwwDOT)dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2913625/Billionaire-George-Soros-spent-33MILLION-bankrolling-Ferguson-demonstrators-create-echo-chamber-drive-national-protests.html
The 1977 riots during a 24 hour blackout will give you a taste for what is being planned.
SEE: (wwwDOT)brooklynhistory.org/blog/2011/07/07/the-1977-blackout/
Nuclear plants are not being build fast enough and 1/3 may be shutdown. While there are plans for a number of new reactors, no more than four new units will come on line by 2020. The planned reactor here in NC just got shelved so who knows whether those four units will ever get build amid all the protests and lawsuits. Besides 2020 is much too late to save the USA from the planned blackouts of 2017.
See: http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2013/10/14/several-u-s-nuclear-plants-retiring-early-others-at-risk/
and
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/09/us-usa-nuclear-nrc-idUSTRE8182J720120209
Instead of building new hydro, dams are being torn down and building new hydro plants is a nightmare.
See: http://www.americanrivers.org/initiative/dams/projects/2013-dam-removals/
and
http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/analysis/the-debilitating-cost-of-federal-regulatory-compliance/
The reality is a lot more coal plant capacity is being shuttered than was initially expected. “EPA’s power plant-level modeling projected that Agency regulations would close 14.5 GW of generating capacity.”</i> This was WAY under the actual number of closures. <i>”More than 72 gigawatts (GW) of electrical generating capacity have already, or are now set to retire because of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations.”
Really underestimated that didn’t they?
And this does not include the temporary 18 month closures for retro-fitting with a three year window so that half the plants needing retrofiting go down and then the other half with a total of three years worth of closures. So that’s another 129 GWs shut down for three years. In 2013 the total installed electricity generation summer capacity in the United States was 1,060 Gigawatts(GW), down 3 Gigawatts from 2012. Can the USA survive a 20% reduction (201GW) of generating capacity for three years or is there going to be frequent blackouts sparking riots?
…..
Trump forestalled this.

Until recently I thought the coal plants were being mothballed. Unfortunately that is not true. They are being DESTROYED! That means if we run out of electric power here on the east coast in winter we are totally screwed. (wwwDOT)powermag.com/tricky-business-taking-down-old-coal-plants/
On top of that, thanks to the Obama edicts many towns are banning wood burning stoves/fire places and the EPA has put stringent new regs on newer models of wood stoves.
EPA ban on wood stoves is freezing out rural America: But the larger problem is the Sue and Settle sweetheart lawsuits through which Greens dictate policy.
…The EPA has recently banned the production and sale of 80% of America’s current wood-burning stoves…
Utah Proposes Winter Wood Burning Ban to Improve Air Quality… “The ban would eliminate solid fuel burning in fireplaces and wood/coal stoves from Nov. 1 to March 15” (wwwDOT)ehhi.org/woodsmoke/utah_proposes_ban_0115.shtml
Should Canadians have a right to burn wood for heat? “…Across the country [Canada], the burning of wood for heat is under fire. In Montreal, it is already illegal to install a new wood burning stove….”(wwwDOT)cantechletter.com/2015/03/canadians-right-burn-wood-heat/
The insane in charge of DC are really driving us into a corner. Just in time for it to hit when a REPUBLICAN is president. (Clinton did this by setting up the Foreclosure mess to hit under the last Bush.)
Your questions appears to be very timely…so glad you asked. 
It’s evolved into identifying every carbon user in the universe, (China apparently mostly excluded along with the EU getting a major pass) from country, state, corporation right down to the individual user so that they can guilt trip you and corporations into buying carbon credits thanks to the IOT.

Wow–hope they had some serious BarBQ!
Yeah, if those boys are leaving all that bacon on the ground, that’s a crime! You could feed every homeless person in the state like a king with that many tons of pork!
I get hungry just watching that video!!! 🐷 🍔 🍖
Yum!!!
I’m just grateful that I’m excused from all this bull#@%$ 👍😂
The EU isn’t getting a pass of any sort… we’re getting soaked every which way. They just have a different name for all the taxes, such as “EEG allowance”, which allows them to charge us DOUBLE what they did five years ago, and pay wind/solar vendors even when they are producting ZERO power. Add to that the fact that there are diesel generators on the offshore (and possibly onshore) turbines to keep them turning when there’s no wind, so the mechanism doesn’t freeze up…. fancy that…
In Germany we have the highest electricity rates in the world (or close to them… the lead keeps going back and forth, but the rates keep going UP, UP, UP) 😡 😡 😡 😡
Time to hook up generators to the exercise bikes.
Better to hook up hoses from car exhaust pipes to Houses of Parliament.
Yes, then that would explain the lack of color on their maps for EU since they’ve already been knuckled under and wrung dry. Ackkk!

Yeah, that’s a big Whoa… His audience looks shell shocked. I don’t think they were ready for that.
Some are saying it’s from 2016 and cut out of a larger piece… IDK… Still going to shock people to here Moore talking that way as it resonates and could easily be cut for today because it fits now more than ever.
herehear. It’s trending big time.I had heard Michael Moore say something similar before. Maybe it was just the end of that clip that might have been going around. That was excellent.
“…Some are saying it’s from 2016 and cut out of a larger piece…”

Why does Joy have blond hair?
All I know is that every time I see a clip of her, she looks different than the time before. They keep experimenting with her appearance.
Well it’s not working… 😂
Pig with lipstick, is still a pig. 
Do the pigs have any particular color they favor?
Have not noticed.
Why does Joy have blond hair?
Common with lefty maggots.
Life IS Great as a conservative.
In some circles it would be called cultural appropriation to make one’s hair look like that of a different segment of the population. I personally don’t care; just pointing out the hypocrisy.
I get a Temu popup on my phone showing various items for sale. One item is a gray haired curly wig. In the video a 20-something models it and surprise … she looks darn hot/cute. I would never have guessed that granny hair could look good on a barely adult aged female.
LOL
sexy grannies unite 😉 😉
Nor do I care. I laugh at or make fun of the nonsense.
Because she’s a cultural appropriator.
Yes. (I typed my reply before I saw yours.)
Great minds….
Pretty darn funny. 😂
I must have watched close to a hundred reactions to this video. I’ve never heard the original, just this Haley Reinhart / Postmodern Jukebox cover.
This guy is apparently a singer, and he loves this song, and he hates the way most singers try to do it.
So he starts out very skeptical.
But by the end, she has won him over completely 😁

Paging Kalbo…😁
LOL!
Reality is I am not big on reaction videos. The Music is great. Yammering goofs, not so much.
Surprise. Slow guy can be baited…So, OK, I went back. Great music. Great voice. Visual delights. 🙂 Bonus, Haley lost weight or more likely, years before gaining…

Thanks for cluing me in, to Haley. 🙂

Didn’t know the crazy plane lady could sing 😆
I don’t normally get to play this loudly at this hour…..
…..but the Fiancee is down at some quilting thingie.
I’ve excavated my way to the final exterior door to re-key and re-keyed its deadbolt. I noticed it was getting cold and dark and zipped off for groceries instead of re-keying the handset — that’ll be for tomorrow, and that will officially make the old keys entirely superfluous.
I updated the Fiancee’s computer — she never keeps her software current, so I do it when she’s not around. I’m currently defrosting her little refrigerator.
We’re concerned about a couple of drains, so I got a “Drain Weasel” widget to poke around with….and it’s hauling out a bunch of gunk from the shower. It’s the basic model, only 18″, but I can’t imagine that the drainage was being helped by the hair clots. There are nicer/faster widgets, but the sterling characteristic of this thing is that it fits through the shower grating and was only $4.
The clothes washer is also backing up a bit, so I’m going to try and liquid plumber it….the major problem being that I don’t remember how the standpipe for the washer outflow and the p-trap for the laundry sink interact. I’ll have to look under the sink to see which trap I should use the liquid plumber in.
When the cat’s away!
Just took the last large chunk of ice out of her fridge, which means I can go to sleep — it won’t melt and spill all over the floor.
I hope your work is appreciated. You could be having gambling and booze parties in her absence; instead, you’re doing handyman chores.

Leave that communist shithole, Brainiac!
Go on tour giving speeches.
Why would he?
Unless he wants to throw himself into the machine like a human monkey wrench and collapse the whole Death Star from the inside 😂
I don’t think he will. The only reason I could think of is to document what they put him through and what the indoctrination consists of.

Not helping Cankles. Cankles is still butt ugly.
DemonRats LOVE 💖DEPOPULATION!💖
Satanic Sacrifices 
They all do. It’s an industry. A factory, and women are the machines producing the goods.
It’s hidden organ and tissue collection. It’s right there in the open, but hidden from sight by a cloaking device called “reproductive rights.”
I really believe most women have been gulled by this deceit. This is manifested in how many vote based on this issue alone.
Abortion may have started out with Margaret Sanger as a way to reduce the black population, but it has been co-opted by Big (and also Hidden) Medicine. They are using women as livestock to produce a product. And the women are mostly unaware.
That’s a very useful view of what’s going on.
Useful, and very sad.
Regarding this X post from the open…
…this might be a very simplistic take, but if all those giant corporations have ownership interests in each other, then isn’t it in their interest to prevent a market crash? I see a lot of doom-and-gloom predictions about a coming recession, and some people take it further and say the economy is going to crash. I don’t see how the entire economy could crash without those megacorps being adversely affected if they all have monetary interests tied to each other.
But if we all THINK things are going to get worse, the we will tolerate more money being taken from us, and turning to “black” MegaCorp money.
I think the patriots (or maybe the paytriots) need to get their act together. Preaching economic doom might be playing into the hands of the globalists. And by doom, I mean in the style of 1929 where some of the wealthiest people lost everything and the little guy was poor.
The economy probably will get worse under the JB fraudministration for our everyday lives with high food and gas prices, inflation, job losses, a stagnant real estate market, etc.; but I don’t know if a stock market crash is imminent. Maybe, as you seem to indicate, they are using such threats to further control us — in which case we might be playing into their hands with extreme economic fears. I think we need to look deeper, as Ian Carroll did in that video.
We have methods of resistance. But we need to understand, like Trump does, how to FIGHT on OFFENSE.
👍🏼
The Depression that followed the 1929 market collapse was the impetus for Social Security in the same way that the 9-11 attack was impetus for the Patriot Act.
Nice observation.
Preaching economic doom OR being truthful.
Being Truthful..

There are still good things there to see…
The Evils need a big crash and the dollar to crumble to institute CBDC … Central Bank Digital Currency. It may start out as USDC but the transition to CBDC is not far behind.
That is why they are trying to go to casher-less checkout. The UNC hospital has ALREADY gone to NOT ACCEPTING CASH for food at their cafe or vending machines.
For my part, if a store doesn’t accept cash, I do not shop there
I was stuck since I had taken my friend to emergency. An employee was nice enough to accept my cash and pay for it on her credit card.
No shame there, gotta do what you gotta do.
Now I pack a lunch,🤓
But how would a big crash affect the mega corporations?
layoffs and plant closings. But they could weather the storm and come back stronger after the crisis. Like someone else said in another post, similar to the covid shutdown, small guys failed, big guys hunkered down, got gov’t funding and survived. Selected businesses like Amazon and Walmart thrived.
There are real “real things” — births, deaths, etc. Then, there are “real things” — a family trade, a homeowner’s manse, a web of business/social connections. After this, there are regular things — obligations freely given and taken in the course of normal life — which can be renegotiated upon hardship or repudiated.
And, then, there is paper. The Federal government’s dollars are paper; Social Security benefits are paper; shares of stock are paper. They can be issued at whim, backed by promises of more paper. They can soar; they can crash.
In many ways, 401K’s were an amazing scam. They persuaded people to shortchange their positions in their communities and their investments in homes and businesses for pieces of paper. How many people know their neighbors?
We’ve had a very long run where the stock market was supposed to matter. To end this nightmare, we may have to wake up and watch the stock market crash. Dollars were supposed to matter, and we’ve already seen what Our Elite Overlords have done with inflation. Dollars and stocks are paper.
“In many ways, 401K’s were an amazing scam.”

From my A PRIMER ON MONEY (The comments are very good)
Money is metal coins, currency (Bank IOUs) and credit (fairy dust created out of thin air) or even beads and obsidian arrowheads. Money needs to be durable, accepted and dividable which is why precious metals were often the choice.
Wealth is LAND, RESOURCES and the labor that fashions usable and saleable goods.

I can not remember whether it was G.Edward Griffin or Congressman McFadden, But one of the 2 noted that BEFORE the Banksters CRASHED the system in 1929, they REMOVED THEIR MONEY FROM THE STOCK MARKET. Business titans such as William Boeing and Walter Chrysler actually grew their fortunes during the Great Depression.
WHAT OTHER BUSINESSES PROSPERED DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION?
The mega corporations mentioned in the video ARE the stock market. I suspect they control a bigger percentage of it than the ones in 1929 did. If not that, then I think they are more entrenched with each other than the ones in 1929 were. The point of the video is how they are intertwined so that what one does affects the others. If they withdrew from the market, the result would be cataclysmic, and I think they would be extremely adversely affected as well.
And before someone says that a cataclysmic result would be the goal, I understand that, but the video shows that the small white portions represent us and the majority of the colored sections represent the mega corps, so there is no way for them to a) all pull out of the market ahead of crashing it without LOTS of people taking notice (and for all I know, there might be laws about that), and b) cause a market crash without wiping out their own wealth.
I think we are so entrenched in our thinking that we’re not looking outside of the box.
My point is not about:
• their evil intent to destroy us
• the “need” for a crash to reach their goals
• moving us to a cashless society
• all the other things we talk about, and that internet influencers talk about, ad nauseam.
I’m narrowly focusing on the theory that a stock market crash is what they will use to accomplish their goals. I’m proposing that a market crash would severely adversely affect them, and that there might not be a way for them to withdraw from the market legally and surreptitiously, so that I don’t know that a crash is necessarily what we should be focusing on. That is all I’m saying.
I’m getting the impression that we are missing something.
“….I’m getting the impression that we are missing something…..”
Yes, you are missing the fact that Vanguard, Fidelity… handle PENSIONS AND MUTUAL FUNDS! It is not THEIR MONEY it is ours.
Eons ago I looked at Monsanto.
From my notes back then:
Financial Core of the Transnational Corporate Class notes that the control is much greater than the $$$ would suggest. I figured out how this is done. It is done is via Pension Funds and Mutual Funds. The funds provide the $$$ but the managers VOTE THE STOCK not the owners of the $$$s.
For instance when I looked at Monsanto, most of the stock is owned by Pension Funds and Mutual Funds. For example Divisions of Fidelity held total shares: 39,127,443 or 7.15% The founding Johnson family controls most of Fidelity Edward C Johnson 3rd is chairman of the group and votes that stock.
Vanguard controls 37,496,850 or 5.7%,
Another 6 investment firms like MORGAN STANLEY own between 2 and 5%
So those ten people who vote 42.19% of that stock control Monsanto. AND they do not put up ANY of the money WE DO!
Does that help?
Isn’t that the case with stocks in general, that when you buy shares of stock that is your money, not theirs?
Are you saying that the megacorps that are all intertwined and own so much of the corporate world and control so much of the stock market don’t have a personal stake in what happens with the market?
I think the point of the video is being missed.
Most of the money in the stock market is invested either via Pension Funds, 401K or mutual funds. Not many people buy stock directly.
So the money is managed/voted by financial institutions. However the financial institutions while in control, are not the source of the money.
This is what I mean:

And yes I understand that they are all entangled with each other.
However we are talking about the LOSS of money in a stock market crash and I am say IT IS US and NOT THEM who will loose money because they are gambling WITH OUR MONEY and not theirs… The Cabal has already moved THEIR money to land, gold and other safe havens.
A crash would be intended to wipe out the retail section and their weaker competitors. All the assets of these two groups would be available at bargain prices which the megacorp would buy and get stronger. Crashes no matter how severe are temporary for these guys. A crash is nothing more than a clearance sale for them and devastation for you.
Nicely put.
We saw it happen during Covid.
Yup. Bottom feeding opportunities.
Megacorp books may be affected but the top brass always have the Golden Parachute, so they’ll be good. Then just build back better.
Banks will get bailed out. Or, the new thing is ‘bail in’ where banks and funds don’t let you take your money out if things go south.

Trump’s attorneys tonight in classified docs case file bombshell motion for discovery—again insists Special Counsel Jack Smith is concealing evidence including voluminous records demonstrating collaboration btw Biden White House, NARA, DOJ, FBI, and intel agencies: Image
Joined by attorneys representing his 2 co-defendants, Team Trump again asks for records related to Biden’s DOE attempting to retroactively remove Trump’s security clearance AFTER Smith’s indictment.
Dirty isn’t even the word for these prosecutors and judges.
Keep in mind the chief judge overseeing the illicit use of a DC grand jury for a FLA investigation was Beryl Howell, who just got her ass handed to her by 4 appellate judges on Trump Twitter search.
Oh and the little story about how the totally not political archivists found classified files in the 15 boxes Trump turned over to NARA and send criminal referral to FBI?
Ya that isn’t true, either. In the works for months beforehand btw Biden WH and NARA…

In 2011, Ramaswamy used a Soros Fellowship, to help cover the costs at Yale for a future law degree. He went to Harvard University,and graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in molecular and cellular biology. From Yale he received a J.D. in 2013. He first worked for a biotechnology investment banking, Qatalyst Partners, where he worked on mergers and acquisitions in the medical industry.

In my opinion Vivek is OBAMA 2.0. only smarter. I think the Cabal KNOWS at this point they can not defeat Trump in 2024 so they are setting up ANOTHER TROJAN HORSE for election in 2028.
Remember these bastards think LOOOOooong term and have been planning the enslavement of the entire human population for centuries. To them Trump is just a road bump.
Trump getting back in 2024 (Jan 2025) is a road bump. (Very positive road bump of sorts.) 🙂
Which is why we need a VP who is purely America First, MAGA.

Exactly.
I was looking at it from their point of view.
Taking out the puppets will do nothing. We have to know WHO the Puppet masters are and they are well hidden.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s father NEVER became an American citizen. He chose not to.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s mother DID become an American citizen, well after he was born in Ohio. I can’t find out when, not listed in anything I’ve seen about his parents.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s wife is also Indian. I do NOT know if she is an naturalized American citizen. All the items on the internet mention that she is a physician. Nothing related to citizenship status in the United States. This, in and of itself, raises suspicions that she is NOT an American citizen.

Thanks for doing that part of the Dive.
So he was NEVER ELIGIBLE!
And poof, just like that he had performed his function and exited the race.
Lam’s attempted acquisition of KLA/Tencor was not completed. KLA is currently independent.
Incidentally, when KLA and Tencor merged way back when, it was a bit of a shock in the Valley. One of them was known as a bunch of nice guys whose word was their bond and a handshake was as good as a contract and who would make things right; the other was a bunch of vicious snakes who would try to renegotiate contracts even after being signed and try to shirk every legal responsibility. It was like the Salvation Army merging with a chain of whorehouses.
Your last sentence made me LoL. 😆
Talk about being on the Lam…..

Thank you.
Yours Truly will add that VIVEK RAMASWAMY, through his company, ROIVANT, invested $116 Million in 2017 into ARBUTUS BIOPHARMA, the company that developed and patented the original formula for SM-102, the lipid nanoparticle that is one of the ingredients of the MODERNA “flagship” COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine”, mRNA-1273. SM-102 is present in EVERY COVID-19 “vaccine” made by Moderna, INCLUDING the company’s “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine.”
SM-102 is FOR TO BE USED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, NOT FOR USE IN HUMAN OR VETERINARY DRUGS OR THERAPEUTICS.
https://cdn.caymanchemical.com/cdn/msds/33474m.pdf
http://www.fda.gov/media/167208/download
This document is related to persons FROM 6 MONTHS THROUGH 11 YEARS OF AGE.
Please see page 34, under 11 DESCRIPTION. SM-102 is listed as an ingredient.
By the way, there is NO VIS (Vaccine Information Statement) for people for this “vaccine” WHO ARE OLDER THAN 11 YEARS OF AGE. ONLY the following CDC Standing Order is available:
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/moderna/downloads/Standing-Orders-5yrs-older-508.pdf
IMO, VIVEK RAMASWAMY is part of the Big Pharma “empire” — and also, IMO indirectly, responsible for the “vaccine”-induced damage that the MODERNA modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” does to people, via the use of SM-102 as an ingredient in these “vaccines.”
Did Ramaswamy understand that his company was investing in something that was NOT TO BE USED IN HUMANS? That question MUST be asked AND answered.
See more info about Swampy in my comment to Aubergine.
HE STINKS of globalist SLIME.

DES MOINES, Iowa (WOWT) – Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley is being treated for an infection, his office said Tuesday.
Grassley, 90, is receiving antibiotic infusions at an area hospital. His team says he is “in good spirits” and will return to work when cleared to do so.
https://www.wowt.com/2024/01/16/iowa-sen-chuck-grassley-being-treated-infection/
CRAP, CRAP CRAP!!!
He is one of the good ones and we KNOW hospitals kill people the Cabal wants dead.
Or they have a car wreck or commit suicide.
Or a plane crash.
Kim Reynold’s Governor. Anything but America First, MAGA…
Guessing IA guvner fills vacancies.
Is Sen. Grassley “vaccinated?” If he is, the accumulated negative effects of the “vaccines” in him cannot be discounted in his current situation — even though he is 90 years old and therefore susceptible to infections, etc., simply due to age.
Vancomycin is administered via periodic vein drips from a [usually] portable pump. It is for stubborn infections that do not respond to first choice antibiotics. I do not know if there are any other drip-type antibiotics but I don’t think so.
If he’s getting vanco, his infection is very serious and he is likely in ICU.
There are a couple, but their names escape me. One that I took a while back was also available as IV drip for “stubborn” infections… fortunately the tablet was enough, and it was a short course… the packing insert was downright scary, as popped ligaments (or similar) was one of the side effects… the doc I had always liked to throw the strongest stuff possible at infections… I asked for the sensitivity list (i.e. what antibiotics would kill the bug) and a number of “more friendly” pills would have done the trick, including some IV ones…
Usually Amoxycillin would work, but this might have been the + or – which amoxcy didn’t kill…
I REALLY don’t like what the med system has morphed into over here…
Hope and pray Senator Grassley gets well completely and soon, and that there are some MAGA candidates in the wings…
I note that Grassley is being forthcoming about his illness and hospitalization.

It’s hard to think of a worse environmental scandal in recent years than Volkswagen’s 2015 diesel-emissions cheating. The German automaker was rightly pursued by regulators, enforcement agencies and class-action lawyers.
The scandal ended up costing Volkswagen an estimated $33 billion in fines and financial settlements—and revealed that diesel-emissions cheating was endemic. In 2020 Daimler AG made a $1.5 billion settlement over emissions cheating in Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles. (One of us helped secure that settlement.) Last year engine maker Cummins agreed to pay $1.7 billion to settle claims that it skirted diesel-emissions standards.
In all of these cases, regulators punished carmakers that had cut corners and misled the public. But when it comes to electric cars, the government has a cheating scandal of its own. That scandal, grabbing far fewer headlines, is buried deep in the Federal Register—on page 36,987 of volume 65.
When carmakers test gasoline-powered vehicles for compliance with the Transportation Department’s fuel-efficiency rules, they must use real values measured in a laboratory. By contrast, under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality or law.
For exaggerating electric-car efficiency, the government rewards carmakers with compliance credits they can trade for cash. Economists estimate these credits could be worth billions: a vast cross-subsidy invented by bureaucrats and paid for by every person who buys a new gasoline-powered car.
Until recently, this subsidy was a Washington secret. Carmakers and regulators liked it that way. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill.
The secret is out. After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support” and has “no basis.”
Carmakers have panicked and asked the Biden administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. That is understandable. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable. But workable rules don’t require government-created cheat codes. Carmakers should confront that problem head on.

The so-called Dieselgate was not what the YSM/MCM made it out to be. The diesel engines from VW (and Audi, Mercedes, BMW and just about everyone else) performed exactly to spec, which is when you reach highway speed, or continue at the same speed for a certain amount of time, or longer, you reduce the fuel flow and make other adjustments to the mix.
That’s the way it has ALWAYS been done, and the way it’s always been tested.
TPTB just wanted to kill diesels, after Merde-Kuh’s Krew pushed people into driving them because they were better than gasoline cars, etc., etc.
They did the same thing to the German equivalent of the AAA: accusing them of always picking German cars as the best European cars, for example the VW Golf winning for years in a row.
The gubmint forced the management of ADAC to resign, and replaced them with a bunch of Greens and libturds, who immediately started preaching the religion of GAIA and how great electric cars, freight bicycles, and, at worst, train travel were going to be.
And the best cars?
Still the German ones…
Further, independent research has shown that Diesel cars have a smaller CO² “footprint” than either gasoline or electric vehicles, and for the average lifetime of a car (which is getting ever longer since everything is so expensive and no-one has any money to spare), diesels are the most efficient.
Even with the newly crippled motor programs…
My 2008 2.0TDi VW Touran STILL produces less CO² and other fakehouse gasses than the “standards”, measured both by the internal OBDII monitoring and by the sensor stuffed into the exhaust pipe during the TüV and emissions testing. The numbers are lower that those VW posts for that engine. So I think “dieselgate” is just another scam put up by the gangGreens…
I’m reminded of the 2.5µm particulate BS that’s being trotted out again…..
nothing new under the sun 🙄
sweet story. Suzanne Somers’ widower says he believes Suzanne is still with him in spirit.
FTA
Suzanne Somers’ widower, Alan Hamel, says odd things have been happening in the couple’s Palm Springs, Calif., home since the “Three’s Company” icon passed — and it seems Somers is still with us in spirit.
“Three things happened. The same day, that were very strange,” her devoted husband of nearly 50 years, told us.
First off, “a hummingbird flew into our house and made the rounds in the kitchen, and the living room and the dining room.”
The bird then “hovered” in front of a framed picture of lovebirds Hamel and Somers in their breakfast nook, and even “landed on top and stayed there.”
Hamel even snapped a pic of the bird.
After that, “the fireplace started all by itself,” and “some music came on by Suzanne’s favorite composer.”

50 years. That is fantastic. The bond did not end with Suzanne passing.
It could be any spirit [good or evil].
I’d like to know more about their spiritual beliefs.
A brief scan of their Wiki pages shows the he is of Jewish descent and that both a rabbi and Catholic priest officiated at their wedding. From what I saw of Somers’ life story, I get the impression that she had a good heart, but not that they were devout in their religious beliefs of any kind.

The US CoC needs to be taken out and members Bud-Lited.
United States Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark made a veiled attack against former President Donald Trump’s economic nationalist agenda, declaring that tariffs and reshoring America’s manufacturing base threaten the global economy.
[…] A global trend of protectionism, including here in the U.S., puts all of this at risk. To turn inward — to throw up trade barriers, impose tariffs, stop doing trade deals, reactively repatriate supply chains — is to inflict harm on our own economy. It robs our businesses and workers of new opportunities, and it raises prices for every American.
Like the free markets, the global economy is not a zero-sum game. Someone else doesn’t have to lose for us to win. On the contrary — the rise of the rest means new customers, new markets, and new allies, for us.
And a different vision at the end of the article:
Meanwhile, research from the Coalition for a Prosperous America has found that imposing tariffs on all foreign imports would create about 10 million American jobs and generate over $600 billion in new revenue.
MAGA FOR EVER!
The Chamber of Commerce targeted the Tea Party too.

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.

His first job after graduating was at Qatalyst Partners. It was founded in March 2008 by Frank Quattrone, Adrian Dollard, and Jonathan Turner.
So he was working their BEFORE it was founded?

Somebody needs to get the info to Donald Trump. Even if they are already aware, he needs to know that the people out here can see and are concerned.
It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
Walgreens Closing Boston Location in Poor Neighborhood Due to Theft, Locals Outraged (VIDEO)
Mike LaChance Jan. 16, 2024 10:40 pm 1147 Comments
Tell that to the politicians YOU SUPPORTED AND ELECTED!
I am NOT interested in PAYING ANY MORE FOR YOU FREE LOADERS!
Walgreens would be smart to say nothing, close, and let them squabble it out among themselves.
You are correct. No need to broadcast. However I am sure the news will get leaked by some WOKE DIE hire no matter what.
The NAACP should open drug stores in the ‘black area’ of Roxbury.
Not crack houses, I mean lawful pharmacies.
Go ahead 😂
NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Commies & Progressives
Always curious that they never take responsibility that it’s their own youth usually doing the thefts. Even if it’s not their blood relatives it’s the thug culture of their “community”
They could certainly arrange a ‘Community Watch’ like others do.
It’s a good idea except if the watchers see something going down and police respond…what then? Racist police arrest yutes ‘just trying to feed they families’?
When will the parents or grandparents refuse to use the jumbo container of Tide that shows up in their laundry supplies area or the miraculous installment of Charmin and shampoo in the bathroom?
The amount of theft/looting is making it impossible to sustain operations.
I was thinking vigilante… after all they no longer really have policing in DemonRat hell holes.
Maybe bring back the Mafia. They had a ‘protection racket that could be re-instituted.😋
ha! That’s a good idea
Gotta get creative.
Welp what’s old is new these days.. We’ve moved backward right into pre civil rights era….now it’s the DEI era
Yep, they want to reinvent the wheel so they can say they did it.
If they can’t get business to give them free stuff, they’ll be forced to do the community watch stuff.
Then they’ll have to give them enforcement powers.
Then they’ll have to pay them.
Then they’ll regulate them.
Then they’ll be back to police again. Never realizing they had police before or what they were for and why they existed.
and logic wins again 😃
I’m sure Piglosi, aka
Poligrip Pavement Princess Mafiosi Piglosi d’Alessandro Gambino has some relatives that she could “loan” to the cause 😀
Then again, maybe THEY are the cause… 🙂
Don’t call the police — call an ambulance.
No no. You clean up the streets and the stores will come back.
Former NAACP president. G F Y.
Professional GRIFTER!
Sorry, NAACP-guy; companies exist to make a profit. Period.
“Walgreens is closing its 4th location in Boston in the black area of Roxbury, a neighborhood plagued by theft.”
_____________
How in the world does a progressive Leftist hellhole like Boston have a ‘black area’?!?
Why haven’t the wealthy white liberals moved into the ‘black area’ of Roxbury in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion?
WTH?
🙃

Stromy Joe mentioned that 53 eagles were slaughtered in Tampa Bay Fl yesterday. I could not find that story but found this.
Judge issues arrest warrant for man accused of killing thousands of bald eagles
That’s disgusting. I hope they get harsh punishment
Same here but with illegals we can expect a lot more of this.
A few years ago a friend had them slaughter his entire herd of goats and sheep, take the prime cuts and leave a mess. We are talking ~100 animals slaughtered.
Which means they had skills that could be used in bonafide WORK. They had a choice to break bad and they took it. Deserve harsh punishment because they had a choice to do good and rejected it.
hmmmmmmmmmm…now go after the wind turbine people and all the eagles they slaughtered. oh wait…you can’t. the gov’t gave them permission to do it
Wonder if this is to minimize or rationalize the birdchoppers and their slaughter of large and protected birds (and bats, and all manner of flying critters)…
No-one ever complains about that….
About time LAWFARE was used against the DemonRats!

King Chuckles will be having prostate surgery and Princess Catherine has some kind of abdominal issue with surgery with a long recovery period
Wonder if Chuckster was dumb enough to get Jabbed. (Hope a Double AND Boosted.)
King Chuck and Darth Austin, having a surgery that is not common. Clot shot, I’d bet.
I knew prostate problems are common in older men such as Hubby.
They are very common. However, surgery is the last resort. This cancer is usually very slow growing. There is a looonggg watch and wait time, and then chemo/radiation, and then surgery. But it almost never gets that far.
And Austin would have had a MANDATORY physical by the military YEARLY. For him to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in December, and in surgery in January, is very weird. It would have been found in its early stages many years ago.
Turbo…? Stage 4…? Dunno. Don’t believe in coincidences.
Turbo is what I think.

Special address by Javier Milei, President of Argentina | Davos 2024 | World Economic Forum

29 mins of tactful Socialism bashing at Davos. 🤗
Don’t be fooled by the cordiality extended between the Klaus and Javier in the beginning.

Elise Stefanik
@EliseStefanik
Stefanik Executive Director’s Statement on Far Left Democrat’s Desperate Resolution Censuring Conference Chair Elise Stefanik
Washington, DC — GOP House Conference Chairwoman Stefanik’s Executive Director Alex DeGrasse released the following statement regarding radical New York Democrat Dan Goldman’s attempt to censure Chairwoman Elise Stefanik.
“Failed Far Left House Democrats are in absolute desperate free fall that Elise Stefanik continues to be one of the most effective Members of Congress going on offense every single day exposing Democrats and Joe Biden’s corruption and lies. Elise has never been more supported in her district, by her Republican colleagues, and across Upstate NY and America because she stands up for the American people especially on election integrity and the rule of law to save the Republic.
Dan Goldman is a corrupt radical New York Democrat who unethically traded tens of millions of dollars in stocks while failing to pay rent, took money from a Jeff Epstein associate, funds terrorist groups like Hamas through his family foundation, launders millions through his family foundation to attack Republican Members of Congress, and supports radicals like Tish James who are engaging in witchhunts against President Trump while releasing violent criminals on our streets. Dan Goldman called for President Trump to be “eliminated” and was widely condemned for his dangerous and violent threat.
Dan Goldman and Democrats are desperate because they know Joe Biden is going to lose this November.”
Dan Goldman fears she’ll be Trump’s running mate and what that might mean if she can carry Trump and win NY with all those electoral votes. 28.
Dan Goldman can relax. Elise will NOT be Trump’s VP.
Very True. I do not think he will choose any politician. Maybe General Flynn since there is no other way to get him in the Administration and he is a Hero among MAGA.
AND Flynn knows where the bodies are buried.😉
hahahah ….gotta love Trump!
[snort]
LOL! 😂
Perfect. Do NOT avert attention. Do NOT blink. Stare the bastard down.
Regardless, it will NOT be a fair trial.
stare the bastard down…
It IS what Trump said Sessions should have done, when Sessions caved and recused.

@charliekirk11
A progressive Georgia trial attorney just destroyed all the excuses and the “that’s racist!” bleating from the left over the recent legal filing against Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade. Here’s the truth:
-There are three special prosecutors on Fani’s case. Two are incredibly qualified, while Nathan Wade, her boyfriend, is not.
-The two qualified prosecutors, combined, have earned less than 1/4 what Wade earned, and at least one earned far less per hour as well.
-The only other time Nathan Wade was hired as a “special counsel,” it was for the sake of enabling a coverup: “Nathan Wade admitted that, despite spending five months talking to deputies and investigating the issue, he had failed to keep a single note.”
-Fani repeatedly elongated the legal process so that she could “need” Wade’s help to justify paying him more money. “Willis made choices throughout her prosecution that seem, in hindsight, calculated to require him.”
-If Fani’s relationship with Nathan Wade is confirmed, it will require disqualifying her entire office from the case, making it virtually impossible for the case to be resolved before November.
This scandal is real. The left’s fingerpointing and blame has already begun.
Joy Reid shoots both feet big time. It is so bad the producers cut her off mid sentence.
Go to 53:30 and watch til 55:05 where the producer cuts her off and goes to a guy looking down at his desk getting his notes ready. HILARIOUS!

Important legislation before the House /s
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/rep-ted-lieu-introduces-bill-calling-nationwide-ban/
FTA
Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) introduced the Glue Trap Prohibition Act, a bill to place a national ban on the possession and use of glue traps to catch rodents. Glue traps – boards coated with adhesive used to catch and kill pests – are among the cruelest ways to eliminate rodents. In their attempts to escape the glue, animals may tear off their skin, and some may even gnaw off their own limbs. Animals that do not escape die of blood loss, suffocation, or dehydration. Glue traps also pose a public health risk. The CDC urges Americans not to use glue traps, as ensnared rodents can spread disease.
The traps are already banned in England, Iceland, Ireland, and New Zealand, as well as in over 100 airports across the country. Last year, West Hollywood became the first city in the country to ban glue traps. Congressman Adam Schiff is an original cosponsor of this bill.
They must of gotten wind of someone planning to use human sized traps around WA DC. What other reason could there be? BTW unensnared rodents left unchecked spread moar disease than ensnared rodents.
LOL
they already their own type of sticky trap–the honeypot!
Another pesky minor detail. 😉 😆
Lieu should send that one to the State of Kommies for adoption.
CA deserves the ignorance.

Reading Truth and PDJT’s comments about crazy NYDefamation trial #2 and TDS judge -Some observations
1) In Federal district court , thought they changed NY state law to let her sue , but maybe jurisdictional thing
2) BUT the SAME Judge as from first trial – Lewis Kaplan age 79 – how is that fair ?
3) This same Judge wrote after first trial , in motion denying retrial , that HE thought a rape HAD occurred , notwithstanding the Jury finding that it hadn’t and to him it was ‘tantamount to a rape “ even if didn’t fit legal definition – How the hell can he be judge here !
4) odd fact 2004 ,age 60 marries former Ny times reporter – no mention of earlier marriage or children …
And PDJT will get a fair hearing …..pathetic
Just out of curiosity, NY state CHANGED the law AFTER POTUS Trump’s alleged crime was committed.

So as usual the Supreme Court F..cked over the citizens.

Tom Woods writes:
“The World Economic Forum is currently holding its annual meeting in Davos. Argentine president Javier Milei was invited to speak, and did he ever rise to the occasion. Milei delivered his remarks in Spanish, so an interpreter did simultaneous translation. That means the text I’m quoting from is choppy and imperfect, but it’s good enough to give you an idea of what was said. I can share only excerpts, in order to keep this issue at a manageable length, but these excerpts will certainly give you a sense of the speech:”
Javier Milei:
“Good afternoon. Thank you very much. Today I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is endangered because those who are supposed to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.
Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism. We’re here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause….
Given the dismal failure of collectivist models and the undeniable advances in the free world, socialists were forced to change their agenda. They left behind the class struggle based on the economic system, and replaced this with other supposed social conflicts, which are just as harmful to life as a community and to economic growth.
The first of these new battles was the ridiculous and unnatural fight between man and woman…. All that this radical feminism agenda has led to is greater state intervention to hinder the economic process, giving jobs to bureaucrats who have not contributed anything to society. Examples: ministries of women or international organizations devoted to promoting this agenda.
Another conflict introduced by socialists is that of humans against nature, claiming that we human beings damage the planet, which should be protected at all costs, going as far as advocating for population control mechanisms or the bloody abortion agenda.
Unfortunately, these harmful ideas have taken a strong hold in our society. Neo-Marxists have managed to co-opt the common sense of the Western world, and this they have achieved by appropriating the media, culture, universities….
The case of Argentina is an empirical demonstration that no matter how rich you may be or how much you may have in terms of natural resources, or how skilled your population may be or educated, or how many bars of gold you may have in the central bank, if measures are adopted that hinder the free functioning of markets, free competition, free price systems, if you hinder trade, if you attack private property, the only possible fate is poverty….
Today, states don’t need to directly control the means of production to control every aspect of the lives of individuals, with tools such printing money, debt, subsidies, controlling the interest rate, price controls, and regulations to correct so-called market failures. They can control the lives and fates of millions of individuals….
A good deal of the generally accepted political [positions] in most Western countries are collectivist variants, whether they proclaim to be openly communists, fascists, Nazis, socialists, social Democrats, National Socialists, Democrat Christians, or Christian Democrats.
They are neo-Keynesians, progressive, populist, nationalist or globalists at bottom. There are no major differences. They all say that the state should steer all aspects of the lives of individuals. They all defend a model contrary to the one that led humanity to the most spectacular progress in its history.
We have come here today to invite the rest of the countries in the Western world to get back on the path of prosperity, economic freedom, limited government…and unlimited respect for private property….
The impoverishment produced by collectivism is no fantasy, nor is it an inescapable fate. But it’s a reality that we Argentines know very well. We have lived through this. We have been through this because, as I said earlier, ever since we decided to abandon the model of freedom that had made us rich, we have been caught up in a downward spiral, as part of which we are poorer and poorer day by day….
In concluding, I would like to leave a message for all businesspeople here and for those who are not here in person but are following from around the world. Do not be intimidated, either by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges.
You are social benefactors. You are heroes. You’re the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we’ve ever seen. Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral. If you make money, it’s because you offer a better product at a better price, thereby contributing to general well-being.
Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story and rest assured that as from today, Argentina is your staunch, unconditional ally.”
I am listening to his speech and it is GLORIOUS. Hubby says it sounds like a combo of Mises, Hayek, Rothbard & Rand.
Amazing. If I were younger, I’d learn Spanish and apply for a visa to Argentina.
Grand Slam. Wonder if WEFers realize they’ve been bitch slapped, on their turf 
Ground Report
I ran into our city’s Clerk at the library as he was checking the absentee voting box next to the book drop off. I didn’t know who he was but he had a city logo on his vehicle & he was unlocking the box so we had a bit of a conversation. There were no ballots in the box at this time for he tipped the inside container forward & I could see inside too.
I complained about the box & said that it promoted fraud. Voting should happen on one day, on paper, & by showing an ID. I mentioned that I’d done absentee voting by mail when I was an out of state student & that there were legit reasons for absentee voting but not by everyone, like elderly, infirm/disabled (though my disabled son, who he apparently knows since he works for our city, vote in person on voting day), military, students, people who won’t be able to vote in person due to schedule conflicts but basically no one else.
He said something about having resisted putting up the box(es?) but it was “the law” & so he had to do it. I mentioned the concept of “color of law” & how in the 2020 election the Secretary of State, Benson, had made all sorts of illegal maneuvers, not lawful as outside of the legislature, that had been part of the Steal.
I mentioned that the voting machines were not secure & were used to cheat. He claimed that our voting machines are not connected to the Internet. The last time I voted those machines were Dominion so I said that there are people on video hacking into such machines from vehicles outside of precincts–to which he had no reply.
I mentioned the mules caught on video & the 2000 Mules production, which I hadn’t seen, just clips on Twitter. He supplied Dinesh D’Souza’s name as the one who had put that together. I mentioned Mike Lindell & all the work he’s doing to expose the many different kinds of fraud.
I said that Trump clearly won 2020, including Michigan before the 400,000 ballots were trucked in in the middle of the night to give the appearance of a Biden victory. My sister-in-law was an Independent vote/count watcher who was there at the TCF Center (Cobo Hall) when that massive fraud took place & she & others were kicked out during the illegal counting (she was a party to one of the lawsuits about this, but I didn’t mention that).
I mentioned Antrim County & how the paper ballots showed that Trump won even though the machines said otherwise.
I mentioned the signature verification issues that have been revealed in Kari Lake’s lawsuit regarding her stolen governorship in Arizona, & how many of the ballots did not have matching signatures & appeared to have been signed by the same person.
He said the Real Way that democrats cheat is in the primaries so I mentioned how Bernie was cheated by Hillary but then Hillary was cheated by Obama too. He said Obama was never on the Michigan primary ballot in 2008 (which I did not know)…
I mentioned the 2000 election & how W won the electoral college but AlGore won the popular vote. But that Nixon won in 1960 but JFK was credited due to the cheating in Chicago, but Nixon was too “classy” to challenge it, unlike Gore. Basically I was not convinced that there hadn’t been cheating going on in elections for a very long time. Also if Democrats were Actually interested in democracy they would be about ensuring that every legit vote counted so that the people could Actually get who they wanted into office.
I ended up shaking his hand & thanking him for doing his best. He claimed that he was a constitutionalist & would ensure that our City had fair elections…I guess we’ll see…

JPMorgan CEO and Dem Donor Jamie Dimon Defends Trump and MAGA — Calls Out Democrats for Demonizing Millions of Americans: ‘Democrats Need to Grow Up’
Jamie is a sleazebag decepticon who went before Congress just a week or so ago to act out a pre-planned play acting charade with Sen. Pocahontas Warren, where he said ‘If I was the government, I’d close it down’ regarding Bitcoin and the crypto industry.
……………………
Jamie Dimon: “I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” the head of the largest U.S. bank by assets said under questioning from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., during a Senate Banking Committee hearing. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance.”
“If I was the government, I’d close it down,” he added.
……………………
.
.
Then just days later, it was announced that Jamie and JP Morgan were going to be APs (Authorized Participants) to act as broker’s of Bitcoin for Blackrock’s ETF.

Outdoor urinal.
No doors, no enclosure, no privacy?
Half step away from defecating in the street.
Looks like it must be someplace in Eurolandia.
You nailed it! Belgium. And apparently public urination is common there, even for women, who lean back against walls and “drop the ace”! 😲

My mom said that even respectable, finely dressed men just whizzed on trees in public when she was a child in Germany.
In Paris they had an entire wall with running water that men whizzed against.
L’Arc de Triumphe 😀
An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of beer.
After awhile, he finds himself in a very high-class neighborhood with big, stately residences—no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of all, no public restrooms. He really, really has to go, especially after all those beers.
He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem. As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie, who says, “I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know.”
“I’m very sorry, officer,” replies the American, “but I really, really have to go, and I just can’t find a public restroom.”
“Ah, yes,” said the Bobbie, “just follow me.”
He leads him to a back delivery alley, then along a wall to a gate, which he opens. “In there,” points the Bobbie. “Whiz away, anywhere you want.”
The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since he has the cop’s blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly relieved. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie,
“That was really decent of you. Is that British hospitality?”
“No,” replied the Bobbie, with a satisfied smile on his face,
“That is the French Embassy.”
🌊 🙂
😂
eww
Yikes 
Need some input from the ladies here, whether this is actually a workable solution, or an excellent gag photo.
It looks like a 4 sided urinal??? Draining directly into the storm sewer 
Since I basically hate outhouses & porta potties this is a non-starter.
Hubby can recommend the hunting shack outhouses where one can have a download w/ a beautiful view when leaving the door open…so those are Definitely “rooms” with a view 😉 😉
This pic is even more minimalist than the outhouse at my aunt & uncle’s Wisconsin wilderness cabin “Scree & Scarp”. There were 2 walls at an oblique angle w/ a triangular roof & triangular bench w/ a hole in it. If someone happened to be hiking in the area you could wave from the throne & do business in all kinds of weather.
Apparently my uncle, who was a carpenter by trade, accompanied my aunt on a teaching mountaineering expedition to Alaska back in the day. He fabricated a number of things for the science station/base camp, including a 2 story outhouse! 🙄
“Need some input from the ladies here, whether this is actually a workable solution,”
😂🤣😂
OK, maybe we need output instead. After all, the test of truth is experiment! 😅

Paxton with a very sharp and detailed slap down to DHS

This is EXCELLENT.
Paxton is showing that DHS is the enemy of America itself.
I just had to share this pic, of which I know nothing more than the pic itself.
My mom said when she was little they called her cotton top and she had white hair. As she got older, her hair turned brown. The same thing happened with a boy cousin who was a few years younger than me. I remember when he was little and had white hair. Now that he’s an adult, his hair is brown. No idea why that happens.
My husband & oldest son were both blond the first 3-5 years of their lives. Hubby’s hair was nearly black before going silver fox prematurely (whew since I’m almost 3 years older but Might not look it 😉 😉 ). Son’s hair is now a deep dark brown…
Steve Cortes, former senior adviser to Pres. Trump who became a DeSantis supporter, now says we have to unify and support Trump.
Only Trump Can Save America
Okay, good. He has done the right thing, even though it is the thing he practically had to do. Welcome back, Steve Cortes. I welcome your efforts, but there is an asterisk by your name now.
Truth comes out.
It took this long, for Cortes to figure out he screwed up?
No reason to trust Cortes.
I think Bannon has said Cortes can’t come on his program again, but maybe he’ll invite him back “for the sake of unity” and rake him over the coals a little. Or maybe not…
Yes, Bannon was quite clear, after Cortes joined Rob.
Persona non grata.
If he allows known traitors in his midst, then he deserves whatever damage the traitors do to him.
Trump’s favorite poem is about a snake just like Steve Cortes.

Trump won’t allow Cortes in.
The musical version of The Snake poem — and it is quite rockin’, if I do say so myself 😂

Her complete lack of inhibition and/or self-awareness is oddly interesting.
I can’t stand Merde-Kuh, and am living through her damnable detritus, but I don’t think that’s her.
There’s no way she could put together moves like that.
Wonder if Ricarda Lang could pull that off… she’s still young… and an even bigger gelatinous blob, at that…
Cortes is as slimy as slimeball grifters get.
SD devoted whole articles to the sleaze of this guy and a couple others.

Steve Cortes Announces He Took “National Spokesman” Job (Money) From DeSantis PAC, Now Supports Ron DeSantis
May 9, 2023
SD: “Do not let these transparently corrupt political grifters like Republican strategist Steve Cortes raise your blood pressure; instead, mock them mercilessly wherever and whenever you see them.
[Pictured left, Cortes with fellow grifting scumbags John Cardillo and Matthew Tyrmand (the architect of the Project Veritas attack on O’Keefe) as they attend a pro-Desantis effort earlier this year.]
Former Trump ally Steve Cortes announced today he has taken a job with the Never Back Down PAC that supports Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. As a result, he is reversing all his prior points of advocacy to endorse Ron DeSantis for 2024.
The shallow character of these income chasers is pathetic. However, the Sea Island billionaires are pouring money into the DeSantis camp for exactly this purpose.
The goal of the stop Trump corporate donors is to retain their own financial status; Cortes is simply accepting their money and displaying his own character, nothing more. We said last year, 2024 would be the opportunity to see what prices people put on their allegiances. Today, is just another reveal.
There’s no merit or value in looking at Cortes, other than just to accept his objective – to enrich himself.
Meanwhile back in Florida, Ron DeSantis has separated himself legally from his state political action committee (PAC) Friends of Ron DeSantis, which now creates the mechanism for his remaining $85 million to transfer into the Super PAC ‘Never Back Down’, the same organization that just hired Cortes.”

SLIMY.
Another positive for Trump’s second term, over Trump’s first term.
Trump has a great list of who to NOT hire.
Pretty clear who supports Trump, America First, MAGA in 2024 V guesses in 2016.
Too funny….
HA! Excellent delivery!!!
Guessing Faux News does not want to fire Gutfield, only to have him a bigger star on his own. As happened with Tucker.
The replies are something. People are recognizing the outrage porn, and asking why they’re not doing something about this.
IMO it’s mostly about keeping Biden toxic for the election.
Excellent presentation!
Yes!
The twink running United Airlines:
We Have Committed That 50% of The Class Will Be Women and People of Color” – United Airlines CEO Admits to DEI Quota Because There are too Many White Men Flying Airplanes
Meritocracy is dead.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, in a recent interview, admitted that they are no longer seeking the most qualified candidates to safely transport their passengers on commercial flights.
Instead, Kirby says, “We have committed that 50% of the classes will be women or people of color,” instead of the most qualified individuals they can find.
What could go wrong with putting one’s skin color or gender over safety and competency?
Anti-whiteness appears to be evolving into a trend in the airline industry.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, a source from Delta Airlines has revealed that the company, in a leaked memo, is asking its employees to capitalize the words “Black” and “Brown” but not “White” when describing one’s race.
“I’M A GOOD PERSON! I’M A GOOD PERSON, REALLY! i SAY ALL THE RIGHT THINGS ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE! I’LL EVEN KILL BABIES FOR BLACK PEOPLE! I’LL CRASH AIRPLANES AND MURDER MY OWN PARENTS FOR BLACK PEOPLE! AND WYMYNX! I LOVE WYMYNX AND HATE MYSELF! PLEASE DON’T FIRE ME, BECAUSE I’M A GOOD PERSON!”
