Charges May be Filed
Timothy Birdnow
Here is something that caught my eye. Normally I ignore the "could be" stories; I prefer concrete facts over specualtion. But the reason this intrigued me is it might explain a number of odd things happening these days.
John Solomon told Steve Bannon on his show that the Trump DOJ is about to lower the boom, with multiple indictments of major figures in the coming months.
While the proof of the pudding is in the eating, I will say this may explain why the DOJ has said there is nothing to see with Jeffrey Epstein, that he committed suicide and there was no client's list (despite early statements by Pam Bondi that she had the lista nd was reviewing it.) This all makes sense; if she is building cases against these people, and they are on the Epstein list, it would be prudent to deny they had such a list so as not to tip their hand.
Solomon thinks a special prosecutor will be appointed soon. That is to get the case out of the D.C. Circuit, where the Democrats and Deep State are assured to win.
And, as the article points out, Dan Bongino has threatened to quit if the report is not released. There is also specualtion Bondi may be on her way out. Well, maybe Bondi herself could be the Special Prosecutor? She would have to resign from the DOJ, of course. Normally a Special Prosecutor cannot be a government employee, but Jack Smith, the guy who pursued Trump for years, was one before being assigned the Trump case so there is ample precedent. And this, of course, would provide a terrific opportunity to finish Smith's investigation for good. The Smith investigation was suspended, not ended permanently. If the Democrats insist Bondi not be the proseucitor then they undercut Smith's legitimacy permanently and Trump will win that one in court. Smith, while filing to drop charges against Trump, is still in a position to refile them at present.
At any rate we won't know if this is a tactical ruse or if they really are going to pursue this until charges are filed. Let us hope they go after the Deep State. They have ruled us long enough.

Trump v.O'Donnell
Timothy Birdnow
Boy this takes us back!
Trump Says He’s Considering Revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship: "She’s a Threat to Humanity"
I have an old computer with Windows 98. It was my first computer. I downloaded a game on that back at the time where you had Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump squaring off. Rosie slashed at Trump with a long forked tongue while Trump's hair acted as HIS weapon, extending way out and hitting the obese O'Donnell. These two have been enemies for all this time now.
But that was back when people still liked O'Donnell; we've long since learned she's an angry, bitter, hate-filled woman. (BTW I once saw a tasteless cartoon where Rosie accidentally kills the orphans she took in by falling asleep and her enormous head crushing them. That was back in the early 2000nds I might add, so she's had the big head for all this time now.)
At any rate we now know who is the villain in this saga and it ain't Trump.

Quislings at the CIA
Timothy Birdnow
This is why we STILL have a huge fight on our hands. Oh, and President Trump's life is still in danger.
Report: Brennan’s Henchmen Still Entrenched at the CIA, Some Promoted After Authoring the Russian Hoax
Look, the embedding of radicals in the highest levels of national security didn't begin under Biden. It didn't begin under Obama, either. It's been quietly happening for over a quarter of a century, maybe more. John Brennan, for instance was hired by the CIA back in 1980 despite having answered on his security clearance that he voted for the Communist Party USA for President in 1976. This during the Cold War.
(I whenI graduated college in '87 almost none of my classmates in the Russian program got hired by national security and mostly for very chippy reasons; one girl had been an army brat and her father stationed in Germany and it turned out she had a second cousin or third cousing who lived in East Germany so they wouldn't hire her, yet they hired a guy who admitted to being a communist.)
Brennan also got promoted repeatedly despite his obvious infatuation with Islam. He once called Jihad a "holy struggle" in a speech, and also once made a "slip of the tongue" saying "my Muslim faith". This should have been enough to disqualify him from top-level positions at the CIA but he wound up being promoted to Director. A Communist Islamist Director.
And it's not just who he appointed; how many other John Brennans wormed their way into the Agency at the same time? I wonder if most of them are Quislings.
We need to completely dismantle the CIA (and FBI, and NSA). I doubt any of these rotten agencies are repairable.
Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about this very thing in his farewell address. He pointed out we were building a surveillance state of unprecedented proportions, and this, along with the "military industrial complex" and the big universities, could prove to be the end of a free and democratic nation. He was more prescient than anyone realized.
All of these groups metastasized in the sixties and seventies, and now pretty much rule the country. Most especially the espionage agencies, big tech, and the Ivy League.
If America is to be a free nation again we must rein in these groups. Trump is making some tentative first steps by cutting funding to the worst offenders in academica, and by appointing people not from the Deep State to the national security agencies. But it's too little; these people are too deeply inbedded.
They are just going to ride Trump out, if they don't assassinate him first, or find some new trap to ruin him. They are vipers.

Who are the Haters?
Timothy Birdnow
So MAGA are the hateful ones?
ER Nurse Gleeful About Traumatic Injuries Among Trump-Voting Patients
There is nothing more hateful than a liberal. Anger and hatred is the cornerstone of the whole philosophical system.
This nurse suggested she would not treat patients who voted for Trump.
Her twitter account was allegedly suspended.
The Libs of Tik-tok are calling for her termination from her job. And they are probably right. I don't favor going after people's livelihood by and large but given her attitude I wouldn't want Nurse Ratched here handling MY I.V. drip.
And they cancel us, leading to many of our people being sacked, over the years. Turnabout is fair play.

The Greening of Pope Leo
Timothy Birdnow
American Pope Leo just called the world out over "climate change" in a rant saying the "world is burning".
He also "prayed Wednesday for the world to recognize the urgency of the climate crisis" while celebrating mass in the Vatican's new "ecological garden" and using prayers put forth by the late radical Pope Francis.
In other words it's meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Climate change is neo-pagan, a worship of the Earth rather than God. It is worshipping the creature rather than the Creator. And it is not really a scientific theory so much as a "conventional wisdom" shibboleth, a "concensus" driven hypothesis not really supported by scientific evidence. It is anti-rational, and anti-humanist as it puts people last, encourages the impoverishment of human beings to "save the planet" a planet that requires no saving (except by God). Climate change is evidence of the hubris of Man, thinking we can "destroy the planet" simply by exhaling and by using fire - nature's own tool.
Oh, and there is no concensus. More scientists signed the Oregon Petition disputing climate change than have signed off on the theory throught the IPCC or anywhere else. These studies showing a 98% agreement on the issue are fake news; they ask "is the climate changing" which anyone would admit is so (it always has) and "do humans have something to do with it" which of course we do; land use changes affect the climate, for instance. Cut down a forest and you warm the planet to a minor degree. (Notingham England now sits where Sherwood Forest once stood, for example.) That is not what is meant by "climate change" - the updated version of Global Warming, which they chucked aftter realizing the climate really isn't warming much if at all. So now they moved it into the dishonest "climate change" so they can fit any unusual weather phenomenon into their paradigm. But it is supposed to be about the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
CO2 quickly loses it's greenhouse capabilities as it absorbes a specific bandwith of radiation.The most you wind up seeing is a 2* rise in temperature. The father of the theory, Roger Ravelle, thought this was more a curiosity than anything else. (He based his theory on the work of Svante Arrhenius, a nineteenth century scientist who elucidated the greenhouse effect.) Arrhenius' theory is correct under ideal greenhouse conditions (a greenhouse has no atmospheric mixing, no heat sinks, and a roof to hold the warmth in) but in so chaotic a system as the Earth's atmosphere it quickly breaks down.
We have massive oceans which act as heat sinks, and in fact carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere and turned into calcium carbonate - limestone. Much of the limestone on the ocean floor is a result of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the oceans and reacting with minerals therein to create the limestone we see.
The Earth's heat balance is also influenced by cloud cover (we don't understand how clouds work even now) and by solar radiation output (including the bandwith of solar radiation) and by the Earth's wobble as it moves through space (called Milankovitch cycles) which change the amount of irradiation the Earth receives. There are also atmospheric aerosols, including human-produced aerosols. And then there are cosmic rays, which make clouds when they get through the atmosphere. In a period of heavy atmospheric activity we should see fewer clouds, and during a period of low activity the cosmic rays get through the solar wind and generate more. Also, the Earth receives different amounts of micrometeor bombardment. How does that influence climate?
None of this is taken into account by the climate models - it is all CO2 all day long! Now why is that?
Because CO2 allows government to tax and spend and to regulate - the wet dream of the Hamiltonian statist. And it also promotes international organizations, which many in the DAVO crowd see as the seeds to world government. It promotes redistribution of wealth by restricting the industrial emissions of First World countries and programs to help poor countries take "remedial action" to protect themselves from "climate change".
How many times did the Saychelles go to the U.N. and claim they were going to be under water? I remember one press conference where the Saychellians wore scuba gear to make this point. But you know what? They have built four new airports in recent years to handle all the tourist trade. They are building, not takiing remedial action to survive. This is true of most low-lying islands, which are actually growing, not shrinking as global warming theory says they should. And the wealthy around the world and big corporations are building more and more seaside properties. The people who actually have skin in the game aren't worried about "climate change". Those who say they are are worried more about getting their slice of the pie.
This is what Pope Leo is worrying about, in a world that stinks of moral rot and rebellion against God.
If Leo is worried about the world he should do his job and call out the immorality that is constant in the world. Why hasn't he called out homosexuality? Abortion? Transgenderism? Atheism? He remains strangely silent on those things, and those are things that the Bible quite plainly warns lead to eternal damnation. But Leo, like Francis before him, doesn't want to hurt the tender sensibilities of these powerful political groups so he goes for low-hanging fruit - Western Civilization and our industrial economy, which has produced a bounty of goods and services which provide for the entire world.
I was watching the show Survivorman the other day and he was deep in the jungles of New Guinnea. He was aided by a stone age people there. But guess what? They were all wearing cotton t-shirts, cotton shorts, and tennis shoes. Just forty years ago they would have been in loin cloths and barefoot. Their houses were better too. The poorest of the poor in this world are rich compared to the wealthiest Third Worlder of just a century ago. A rising tide raises all boats, and it has throughout the world.
That's why the Third World population continues to rise; we are GIVING them health care, medicines, better food, better clothes, cleaner water, and better housing. THIS is what our industrial civilization has blessed the whole world with, and this is what Leo is trashing.
Going green will bring poverty. I don't know if he is just too shallow to understand all this are willfully ignorant.
The Church's main job is the salvation of souls. That is her primary job. Yet we have had Popes who want to change that mission. Leo appears to be just another one of them.
Life is about the salvation of souls, nothing else. If the Church would stick to that mission God will take care of the rest. Pope Leo is promoting the deification of Man over God.
Like Nimrod, it looked so good until the tower of Babel fell and everyones language became confused. God will not be mocked.
ADDENDUM:
I was watching the show Evil where a protestant minister was trying to poach David from the Catholic Church. His pitch was all politica - all the political activism he could do free of the restraints from Rome. It was supposed to be a Satanic seduction in the show - and it hit the nail on the head. Pope Leo,like Francis before him, has been seduced by politics over the "hocus pocus" as the minister called the spiritual aspects of Christianity.

AOC Pulls a Stephi
Timothy Birdnow
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has called President Trump a rapist in just the same way George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and former Clinton hatchet man did (which cost his network $15 million in damages.
"Wow...who would have thought electing a rapist would complicate the release of the Epstein files?" the brain dead Ocasional Cortex tweeted on X.
President Trump has never been charged with rape or sodomy or any other sexual crime. AOC is referencing the civil suit against Mr. Trump by E. Jean Carroll for "sexual abuse" in which Mr. Trump, facing a completely hostile judge and jury, was found liable. It was not rape and Mr. Trump was never charged.
And the jury in the ABC News trial found Trump innocent of those charges as they gave Trump the damages when Stephanopoulos made the same allegation.
In America someone is innocent until proven guilty. And while we have freedom of speech, and we have every right to think such things, the fact remains you cannot publicly say them, especially if you are in media or government.
I hope Trump sues the daylights out of AOC.

Murk Does it Again
Timothy Birdnow
Oops she did it again!
Senator Lisa Murkowsky, the Pink Democrat from Alaska who calls herself Republican, voted with the Democrats in a straight-party vote to stop the Trump Administration from relocating the FBI headquarters.
If Murky is going to vote with Democrats the party should make that a permanent thing, kicking her out of the GOP.

Is Bondi on Her Way Out?
Timothy Birdnow
Megyn Kelly believes Pam Bondi is on her way out due to her gross mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein issue.
FTA:
She and Patel and Bongino really screwed the pooch with this. If I were Trump I'd ask for all of their resignations; the Administration has lost a LOT of good will, especially from those who thought Trump was a different sort of politician.
Megyn Kelly believes Pam Bondi is on her way out due to her gross mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein issue.
FTA:
Kelly slammed Bondi, describing the debacle as the worst-ever rollout of information by the DOJ.
She also noted that nothing new—especially relating to a supposed "client list”—has been released since Trump took office.
"Just look at the influencer thing. Just take a step back,” Kelly said.
"What kind of an attorney general would pretend she’s giving new information to some of the president’s most loyal advocates in the press? You know, buying ink by the barrel.

Global Warming Remains a Tepid Political Issue
Timothy Birdnow
The Democrats and the media have failed to fundamentally sway voters on their pet doomsday scenario. Global Warming aka Climate Change aka global climate flatulence has only moved a scant five percentage points since the George H.W. Bush era, according to the Democrat and CNN pollster Harry Enten.
In 1989 35% of publi worried about global warming, then by 2000 it was 39% and this year it is just at 40%.
So the decades of endless reinforcement and propaganda have failed to sway a sizable portion of the population.
The sad thing is they actually have 40% or the public buying into this stupidity.
In a sane world the leaked Climategate e-mails would have been the final nail in the coffin. Not only has nature failed to verify the models (two major "pauses" in climate warming, No net increase in atmospheric water vapor levels, no major increase in planetary albedo, No actal ice lost around the planet - just in localized spots - etc.) and the models never made sense scientifically anyway (they did things like assume there is no upper limit to the atmosphere, or ignored the logorithmic nature of carbon dioxide to absorbing energy and they failed to take negative feedbacks into account, assuming a high atmospheric sensitivity, etc.) but people notice things like the fact the wealthy aren't selling beachfront property but buying. STILL 40% could be pursuaded by the endless drumbeat - especially coming from what were once actual scientific organizations and agencies. Those of course were proven to be biased with the Climategate e-mails which showed top level researchers, people providing the data being used, conspiring to manipulate not only the data but the science journals and other methods of disseminating information. Of course the media ignored it except when they had to address it, then they found ways to trash it (like claiming these were just a few mumblings taken out of context). And the schools were completely on-board, teaching this as science on a par with Copernicanism or genetics.
Soa sizaable number of people believe in this. Of course a sizable number believe in Bigfoot, or the Loch Ness monster, or aliens who travel hundreds, thousands of light years to probe the anuses of drunken hillbilly hunters in the woods.
In a 2022 study 13% of the public believed in Bigfoot. This despite no actual campaign to make them so believe. Nessie is even worse, with 29% buying it despite deccades of research (it's not that big a lake). And a whopping 34% of Americans think UFO's are space aliens who happen to enjoy people's rectums, probably more so than San Franciscans. (That people who believe alien intelligences would go to the great trouble and expense to cross the immense chasm of space to study the lower digestive tract of a primitive species, and without just using imaging technology but rather with invasive probing, is beyond me.) Suffice it to say you can get at least 10% of people to believe just about anything. P.T. Barnum understood that perfectly.
But, but, but...what of the empiracal evidence, like increased extreme weather events? First, I would point out that the theory says the atmosphere should be warmer and WETTER due to increased water evaporation.I(And we know it's not that as drowning are down worldwide from just a decade ago.) So that knocks out all the droughts, fires, and everything tying in with dryness. Oh, you may see changes to drought patterns some from that, but primarily there will be more rain and other precipitation. So that's half the "evidence" gone right there. Then the rest can be explained through normal things - we have never been able to study the planet or it's heat patterns like now and all this "historical" evidence goes back to the satellite days, starting in 1979. And in fact satellite imaging now is at odds with the surface station data, which runs much waremer. Go to www.surfacestations.org to see how antiquated and ridiculous the surface station data has become; whole cities have grown around the data stations, with air conditioner units, or blacktops, or water treatment plants right next to them. Satellite data shows very, very little warming (for that matter so do the surface stations, but less so). What of extreme weather events? They are no different now than at any time in the past, except that we are building in places now we didn't used to build (like flood plains) and so naturally are experiencing worse from an economic perspective. People are buying beachfront property. We are not seeing any appreciable sea-level rise (no more than we've been seeing for the last ten thousand years). We are only more AWARE of disasters thanks to a 24 hour news cycle and instantaneous communications and rapid travel. It's not more just better covered.
Antarctica has gained ice in recent years. Greenland just did too recently.
So why do many scientists believe in global warming? Because they can't explain why the Earth is 1* warmerthan a century ago.
Well, there are a number of possible reasons. Dr. Roy Spencer from the University of Alabama Huntsville satellitedata program, wrote a paper showing that ALL of the heating is from the Uban Heat Island Effect. Land use changes and artificial heat sources explain the whole enchilada. But this isn't a dramatic doomsday scenario nor does it advance government power and control and money. So the media won't report on this but continues to beat the drum for "climate change", an exploded theory.
That 40% of Americans are still falling for this decades long War of the Worlds scam is behond me. It's always been about money and power and control. Science was subverted to promote it.
The Democrats and the media have failed to fundamentally sway voters on their pet doomsday scenario. Global Warming aka Climate Change aka global climate flatulence has only moved a scant five percentage points since the George H.W. Bush era, according to the Democrat and CNN pollster Harry Enten.
In 1989 35% of publi worried about global warming, then by 2000 it was 39% and this year it is just at 40%.
So the decades of endless reinforcement and propaganda have failed to sway a sizable portion of the population.
The sad thing is they actually have 40% or the public buying into this stupidity.
In a sane world the leaked Climategate e-mails would have been the final nail in the coffin. Not only has nature failed to verify the models (two major "pauses" in climate warming, No net increase in atmospheric water vapor levels, no major increase in planetary albedo, No actal ice lost around the planet - just in localized spots - etc.) and the models never made sense scientifically anyway (they did things like assume there is no upper limit to the atmosphere, or ignored the logorithmic nature of carbon dioxide to absorbing energy and they failed to take negative feedbacks into account, assuming a high atmospheric sensitivity, etc.) but people notice things like the fact the wealthy aren't selling beachfront property but buying.

Even EIB is Deep State
Timothy Birdnow
I was listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton yesterday and was simply enraged with Travis over his sneering mockery of those who think there is something amiss about the supposed lack of evidence in the Epstein case. We were told he had a client list, and Trump said he'd release it. So did Bondi. So did Patel. In fact Bondi said it was sitting on her desk and she'd release it as soon as legal could look it over. But now she and they are claiming "nothing to see here" , that there never was a client list. So she lied to us back then - or is lying now. And we've been told it was unquestionably a suicide by Epstein and yet they can't produce a tape of his actually killing himself. Everything else, but not that.
Travis mocked at least half of his audience (I've never liked that show particularly; I think both Travis and Sextant are lightweights intellectually). He kept pushing callers "exactly what crimes do you think he was guilty of?" and of course they put on little old ladies who wouldn't slice and dice him. (I know what crimes he was probably guilty of - kidnapping, statutory rape, possibly actual rape, enslavement, prostitution, taking women across state lines for immoral purposes, etc. But he would get these people on then push them hard, so they wouldn't give him a good argument. (In all honesty I probably wouldn't have either under the pressure of being on air before millions of people.)
He even had the disgusting nerve to say "what did these men do? Had sex with women" but they weren't WOMEN they were mostly underage girls, children. These were acts of pedophilia, or at least hebefilia (sexual interest in young teens). It was NOT sex with consenting adults. Oh, and they were not allowed to simply leave the place. There is a reason why it was nicknamed SLAVE ISLAND.
I found his cavalier attitude and smug condescension enraging and will probably not listen to him again. I hope a lot of the stations (many of which are Christian) that carry the Clay and Buck show drop the program. There are better people out there.
I've long thought they were a very poor substitute for Rush Limbaugh. They are boring. And they aren't that sharp. Now I know they are also part of the Establishment. That much is crystal clear.
Travis kept saying that too "you think the entire government is weaponized against us and lying to us". Uh, yeah! It has been for some time. This government has protected the powerful for as long as I've been alive and more than that. Look at MK Ultra, as one example; the CIA was doing mind-control experiments on people and denied it for decades. Look at the EMP effect; when I wrote about it at American Thinker a guy claiming to be part of the Starfish Prime tests scoffed at me and said it was a big lie. A year later Congress finally came out with a report saying it was true. Look at the "Russian collusion" hoax, or the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation hoax.
Glenn Beck makes some good points
1. Epstein wasn’t a lone predator about Epstein:
2. The digital footprint is too large
3. Intel agency involvement is no longer a fringe theory
4. The system’s silence is telling
5. Every elite institution is on trial
Glenn flushes these out and he's right; there was way too much stuff, too many photos, too much information, for this to have been a solo act by Epstein. He had accomplices. And there are a lot of people with a lot to lose if everything came out.
And Trump and Bondi and Patel and Bongino promised to release it yet now are reneging on that promise. Why?
Something smells quite rotten in the state of Denmark.
The fact that Travis was so busy sneering at his own listeners suggests to me a man who wants not to get to the bottom of something but to cover it up.
this thing is big - bigger than even I suspected. People at the very highest levels are involved in this coverup, and there is no reason to do a coverup unless there is something huge, an earthquake.
I've tried to give Bondi and Patel and Bongino the benefit of the doubt. I've thought that maybe they were hiding what they knew to flush people out and thus make a bigger score. But they are just lying to us now and that insults my intelligence and the intelligence of every American.
As did Clay and Buck. I'm done with them.

Trump Morphing into George W. Bush
Timothy Birdnow
Donald Trump, recently accused of calling for an amnesty for illegal aliens after suggesting long-term aliens in America should be allowed to work, has backpeddled, now saying he's not in favor of amnesty but of a work program for laborers. Hmmm. Where have we heard this before?
Oh yes; George W. Bush promoted this same idea. He called it a "guest worker program" which was the same thing.
Most of us opposed it at the time because we all knew how it would play out; these "guest workers" would be here a year or two then want to stay and we'd acquisce. There would be talk of a need for a "path to citizenship" since these people were living here anyway and doing the "work Americans just won't do". In the end you have a backdoor amnesty.
also, it creates a serf class. It's much like the Romans importing Germans to do the work "Romans just won't do" and then being amazed when the Germans took over.
We understood this then. Now Mr. Trump is trying to bring back this moldy oldy.
From the Blaze article:
I am loathe to listen to a labor secretary named Chavez, I might add. Anyone remember Hugo Chavez? Or the commie labor leader Cesar Chavez?
If we are going to do a "work program" what is to stop these folks from just leaving and hiding inside the U.S.? Nothing. At a minimum they should have to have an ankle monitor like someone under house arrest; you can't let them take these jobs and expect them to go home at the end of a season or whatnot. They won't do it, and the Democrats won't let it happen.
And once here getting them out will be a real bear.
The fact is the Democrats will fight tooth and nail to keep them here once they are in the country. And they will fight to eventually give them citizenship and the vote. Oh, and use them to increase their numbers in the census so they can hold more House seats.
Also, Trump will only be here four years. The left will simply wait it out and then use this guest worker program to begin refilling the country with aliens to offer amnesty and "a path to citizenship".
Mr. Trump is making a horribly foolish error. He often mocked the Bush family, and yet he's planning to implement the same policies that Bush wanted. Bush had to withdraw that plan because of a public backlash. Let us hope Trump does the same.

From the Blaze article:
President Donald Trump denied that his administration was exploring an amnesty program for illegal aliens after reports of a whisper campaign advocating the controversial policy emerged.
The president made the comments during a media briefing with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins when asked about the possibility of an amnesty program.
'We got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too. We're going to work with them, and we're going to work very strong and smart.'
"There's no amnesty," said the president. "What we're doing is we're getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program."
"This morning we talked about protecting the farmers and the farmland, but obviously this president's vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues," Rollins explained, "but in a strategic way, and then ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need."
"[Labor] Sec. Chavez-DeRemer has been a leader on this. Obviously this comes out of the Labor Department, but moving toward automation, ensuring that our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce. So all of the above," she added.

Vote Early, VoteOften
Timothy Birdnow
Gee; I thought there was no vote fraud in America!
9 Suspects, Including Multiple Democrat Officials, Indicted For Voter Fraud
They have told us repeatedly there is little to no fraud, and that what fraud there is is inconsequential. I ask you, would you risk prison if it were inconsequential? And as more and more of this comes to light it's obvious it's not minimal.

Judge Refuses to Toss Charges against Backdoor Dugan
Timothy Birdnow
Prosecutions against Judge "Back Door" Hannah Dugan may proceed, a judge has ruled in the case of the radical judge who snuck an illegal alien criminal out her back door to avoid ICE (no, that's not a dirty reference.)
The judge tried to argue she was immune from prosecution because of separation of powers. But being immune from prosecution in the discharge of her duties is a world away from what Dugan pulled, which was to purposely thwart Federal officials in the discharge of theirs.
The author of the Hot Air article thinks the DoJ will drop charges if the judge admits to wrongdoing and faces a disciplinary board. I'm not so sure, nor am I sure they should. The Administration needs to make an example of her. That they didn't do so in a similar case in Trump's first term is immaterial; that was when Trump still thought these people would eventually see reason. Now he understands they only understand power.

Smokey Bear Land
Timothy Birdnow
Isn't this a violation of civil rights?
LA City Council Votes to Stop ‘Disaster Tourism’ through Pacific Palisades Area
As the author observes:
Kind of a Disaster Disney Land, only more realistic since it is, uh, real.
But I ask what right do they have to stop people from going through when they aren't actually rebuilding? Of course the reason they want to ban this tourism is to hide their abject failure to rebuild. It's purely political.
Someone should really tear this place down and build a Smokey the Bear theme park on the spot.

As the author observes:
"Facing a $1 billion deficit, LA should expand the tours to include homeless camps, drug dens, and ICE riots … and charge a fee.

Ending a Taxing Situation
Timothy Birdnow
I would say this is wonderful but given the sorry state of churches these days and their wokeness it may be a disaster for us.
Trump’s IRS Says Churches Can Endorse Political Candidates Without Losing Tax Status
The de-politicization of churches began during the Lyndon Johnson when he was in the Senate. Johnson - and the Democrats - were being hurt very badly by churches, especially in the South. He took action, giving a new tax credit to churches PROVIDED they stay far away from politics. Money talks, in fact it seduces and most churches took the cash over their souls. The end result is Christianity, which had been a powerful force in public life, withered and became an impotent social club.
Trump is trying to reverse this but I fear after generations of liberalism infesting most churches it will probably work to the benefit of the Demo-left, not Middle America. The endorsements will all go to Democrats.
I know the Catholic Church will endorse whoever the donks put up.
FTA:
Well, they generally don't bother with it when it comes to LIBERAL churches. Right wing churches have been another matter, at least to some degree.
There is a reason why Catholic bishops do not deny Nancy Pelosi or AOC Communion; it's not because they don't want to chase them off. By canon law both are ex-communicated, meaning tehy may not receive Holy Communion because they are in an open state of sin - advocatting for abortions. This is one of the most condemned positions a Catholic can take and it is grounds for ex-communication. (Actually they ARE excommunicated but the Church is fearful of saying so lest they get in trouble with the IRS.)
Now at least the Church can ex-communicate them. But will they? I doubt it at this point, what with the Left solidly in control of U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
But it's still a good thing, one long overdue. Maybe we can start to restore the churches to where they should be - arbiters of moral decency. The social club approach to Christianity has done nothing but make the churches a quaint and archaic institution from a bygone age.

The IRS made clear its stance on churches endorsing political candidates in front of their congregations, saying in a court filing on Monday that houses of worship are free to push political candidates from the pulpit without fear of losing their tax-exempt status.
The IRS clarification came in a lawsuit court filing after two Texas churches and an association of Christian broadcasters sued, seeking an exemption from the ban on churches endorsing political candidates, The New York Times reported. While the plaintiffs sought a carve-out for all nonprofits, the IRS agreed in a court filing to allow churches to endorse candidates without penalty.
According to the IRS, the Johnson Amendment — which has been part of the U.S. tax code since 1954 — does not prohibit a church from communicating with its congregants about its preferred political candidates, comparing such endorsements to "a family discussion concerning candidates.”
"Thus, communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted,” the agency wrote in the court filing.
The IRS added that it has long refrained from enforcing the Johnson Amendment against churches "for speech concerning electoral politics in the context of worship services.” For several years, pastors from around the country organized to test the tax code during "Pulpit Freedom Sunday,” The Washington Post reported. The IRS only launched one investigation stemming from "Pulpit Freedom Sunday,” and the agency did not punish any churches.

USAID Gave Thousands of Viruses to China
Timothy Birdnow
Lookie here; it wasn't just Covid sent to that Chinese lab in Wuhan. USAID sent literally THOUSANDS of viral strains there for the Chicoms to experiment with.
FTA:
We KNOW gain of function research was ongoing at Wuhan, and this essentially gave China huge resources to develop biological weapons.
I would call this insane but that's an insult to the mentally unbalanced. It's evil.
Here's more:
So we basically gave them to China without so much as a basic agreement to guarantee our control of them.
This is deadly serious; we're giving China potential biological weapons (as indeed I think Covid was - it wasn't that deadly by design, so they couldn't be blamed, but it was engineered, I believe, to be used against us.) There is absolutely no excuse for doing this; if we want to store this stuff we should build our own virus bank, say, on Bikini Island where it would be safe. And it should be run by USAAMRID, the Army biological wing.
Anybody but the Chinese. They are our enemies.

FTA:
The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.
A $210 million USAID public health program called PREDICT, steered by the University of California-Davis, collected viral samples in countries throughout the globe but lacked long-term storage when funding dried up, according to rudimentary plans in 2019.
USAID’s sample dispensation plan for China is sparse: "No need [sic] information from Yunnan. They were never an official lab partner for PREDICT. All samples they helped collected [sic] are sent to, tested, and stored in Wuhan.

Here's more:
Many of the viruses stored at the lab in Wuhan may have been sampled with U.S. funding yet remain out of reach for U.S. government entities investigating the origins of COVID.
The samples were set to be preserved for testing – with human samples preserved for 10 years – the documents show. But the documents suggest that requirement was never incorporated into a formal contract with USAID.
