So we have donated all for Democracy! Zelensky just suspended elections until they win. Notice the RINOS supporting "Democracy”.

Zelensky previously banned any and all pro-Russian parties and he consolidated the television and news outlets. Hitler did nothing different from what Zelensky has done with our money and blessing.

This is a great short video about the Extinction Rebellion Mob which has been blocking traffic and other attention grabbing stunts.
Extinction Rebellion's stated beliefs are well beyond the projections of even the most ideologically driven actual climate scientists.
Extinction Rebellion's demands, if implemented, would be more damaging to the global population than the worst case scenarios in the UN IPCC's Climate Reports.
Extinction Rebellion is way more extreme than you think

Tim adds:
Strange; the deep environmentalists often believe Man SHOULD become extinct. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement is a prime example.
So what are THESE clown rebelling against? Our extinction or the extinction of someboody else? Seems these two radical groups want the same thing.

You might be interested in reading some of these stories of adverse Covid-19 vaccine reactions.
https://au.jabinjuriesglobal.com/
Why would we risk a young, healthy person's good health for a jab which doesn't immunise them from the disease or reduce transmission of the disease, a disease which has a miniscule chance of seriously affecting a young healthy individual?
Sure, these adverse reactions might be a small minority, but they are certainly not rare, or mild, or with no long term effects.
The vaccine mandates were never grounded on a sound medical basis. We were lied to by health authorities and politicians.
We should never allow this to happen again.

Anyone remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah? The radical homosexuals there attacked some innocent people too.
Trans rights 'whistleblower' with sign saying 'stop female erasure' is attacked at NYC Pride March while naked men on bikes ride past children in Seattle as millions gather for LBGTQ+ events across the US
Violence is par for the course for these people, who are haunted by their own guilty consciences and lash out.
It's what those carrying guilt do.
According to the article:
- A crowd of Pride marchers got physical with a woman in Washington Square Park for holding up a sign that read 'Defend Female Sex Based Rights'
- The rowdy crowd surrounded the woman and began smacking her sign from all directions, as she screamed 'stop f****** touching me'
- Completely naked adults were seen riding bikes past children in a Seattle Pride march, as their exposed genitalia were on full display
This is an evil movement.

Censorship is a real and growing danger.
With Our Literary Past Being Adulterated Beyond Recognition, Collecting Old Books Is Now a Radical Act – The Daily Sceptic
dailysceptic.org
"Buying old books is now a political act. And your personal library (even if it only runs to a couple of shelves) is no longer meaningless beyond your front door. If publishers and institutions want to distort our past, by bending its stories to fit this morning’s trendy narrative, then we should be angry enough to set it straight again. And home is the best place to do so.
One word of advice, though. Look for an alternative place to store your books, should the need arise. Who knows? In three years’ time the sensitivity police may well be empowered to enter your house and audit the content of your shelves. No kidding.”

Long, long ago, on the grey shore of a green isle, two rather small armies met, a few thousand on each side. One group came from a tiny islet barely large enough to hold even their few numbers. The land was mud and reeds, and little else. A silver bend of river snaked it’s way inland, but a causeway covered in waves at high tide blocked their passage. Only when the tide ebbed could they reach the actual shore, and there stood the second group of men, not all that different from the first.
Among them stood an older man, almost ancient by the average standards of the day, but straight backed, still strong, still proud. An old man with a young man’s vigour, but ready to die. A man with the scars of old battles on his flesh, and an inexorable confidence about him, like one who has weighed the days of his life already, and counts them full, and is content more...

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.
I warned at the beginning of this Ukrainian conflict that this was going to create a whole generation of hardened thugs. I have been proven right with this insurrection by the Wagner group (so named after Wagner, the German composer.)
Wagner is battle hardened by conflicts all over the world, but especially in the eastern Ukraine. Now they are trying to seize control of Russia itself.
This was fairly inevitable.
I suspect the U.S. has a hand in this too. I wonder if we didn't promise Prigozhin not only no opposition if he tried to take out Putin but perhaps even covert support.
No way to prove such a thing now, but it is my guess.
Prigozhen is a rather shadowy character who rose very high very quickly after spending 12 years in prison for robbery. He got out, started a hot-dog stand, and then became a top restaurateur and caterer - owning another non-Russian named company (Concord). If I were of a suspicious mind I would think the non-Russian names meant something - ahem!
At any rate, he rose very high fairly quickly and wound up with his own private army. Oh, and he denied having anything to do with the Wagner Group for years. He also denied heading a hacker organization (which was named in the Mueller probe, along with his indictment.)
There is a slim chance the man was a CIA plant all along. I doubt it. But he might have been turned by them. I find it hard to swallow that he got the idea of taking out Putin on his own, even though he has a lot to gain from it.
The thing about this is that this is a very, very dangerous game we are playing now. Like it or not Putin isn't going to just roll over for this. And he has the aid of the Iranians, and no doubt others will come to his aid.
If Putin has intelligence suggesting CIA involvement here I imagine he'll retaliate in a most unpleasant fashion Probably try to assassinate Biden at minimum.
I really doubt Wagner can take out Putin. Putin has vast resources at his disposal, and he's still popular enough that the public won't join with Wagner. Without a popular uprising Prigozhin cannot possibly take and hold enough territory. Putin can.
And Putin can always order something really nasty. Like a tactical nuke on his troops in Rostov or elsewhere, or biological weapons, or whatnot.
I find this most interesting as the Ukrainian offensive against Russia pretty much petered out. But the Ukrainian government says their "biggest blow is yet to come". https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/20/ukraine-says-biggest-blow-yet-to-come-in-counteroffensive-push Right at this moment when Wagner invades Russia. The timing is entirely too convenient.
I expect there to be a big push into the Dunbass now that Wagner has vacated. Surprise, surprise!
And this will have all sorts of repercussions, be they a stoppage in the flow of oil and gas (which again just happily dovetails with Western green energy ambitions), to further restrictions in fertilizer (hurting agricultural production and thus killing poor people), etc. And if it takes Putin out there are worse guys waiting in the wings. Shoot; Prigozhin himself is worse than Putin.
And if Putin retaliates over this? If he believes the West had anything to do with it?
We are closer to nuclear war now than at any time since the Cold War, and possibly since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And we have a senile geriatric who never did have more than half a brain asleep at the wheel.

Iranian forces are ready to deploy in Moscow to help Putin against Wagner. They claim that they saved Assad and now can save Putin. Iran won’t do this unless Putin is advancing their goals. That means it’s possible Iran is also involved in some form in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. Keep in mind Ukraine is another heavily Christian demographic unlike most of Europe which is heavily secular atheists.
Chechens are also coming to Putin’s aid against Wagner. Keep in mind Chechens are also Muslims. Although they are Sunnis and Iran are Shia, Chechens likely also has interest in Putins activities and goals.
Yevgeny Prigozhin the leader of the Revolution in Russia against Putin said in a message in response to Putin's speech:
"Because of Putin, Russia lives in corruption, fraud and bureaucracy. We are not going to obey Putin, and we will not surrender. We are patriots, and we are marching to Moscow. We will not abandon the war against the Ukrainians, and we will continue it with all our might.”
Reports that Wagner's forces were sighted 320 km from Moscow. According to estimates, about 4 different Wagner convoys are moving towards Moscow. If they continue at this rate, they are expected to reach their destination this evening.
At the same time there are reports that all of Wagner's forces left Ukraine for Rostov to strengthen their grip on the city in preparation for the arrival of the Chechens.
Key Russian government officials already left Moscow to St. Petersburg

A private Russian paramilitary company has mutinied against the Russian military command, left eastern Ukraine and seized Rostov-on-Don.
According to the BBC:
All claims of a military coup are absurd, claims Prigozhin.
But what began as a no-holds-barred row over the military's failure to supply his mercenaries with sufficient kit and ammunition has now spilled over into a direct challenge to the two men in charge of prosecuting the war - Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and armed forces chief Valery Gerasimov.
So far this is not a coup, as there has been no stated bid to seize power from the government. Prigozhin's "private military company" does not represent the military either, although he does claim to have widespread support in the armed forces.
But it is an attempt to topple Russia's top brass and therefore a challenge to the president's authority. And even though it was Russia's leader who allowed Prigozhin to develop his rival force, he clearly has no control of him any more.
The Kremlin is taking this extremely seriously. The whole Moscow region has been put on an alert under a strict "counter-terrorist operation regime" and major events have been cancelled.
Now is the time to beware a false flag from the U.S. If the Biden junta and the CIA think Putin is vulnerable they may launch some dirty attack to pressure him - and pressure NATO into a full-scale invasion of the region.
This is exactly the kind of nightmare scenario that used to keep military planners up at night during the Cold War. This has escalation written all over it.

I can’t find a numerical comparison with today vs. past epochs but the important thing to remember is heat transfer through solid land masses is by conduction only vs. heat transfer through the ocean waters via both conduction and convection. The oceans rule, in terms of size as well as heat transfer properties.
How many submarine volcanoes are active at any given time ? The only comparison I can make would be the known subaerial volcanoes. Per the Smithsonian data on volcanoes, since the beginning of the Holocene are 1350 identified volcanoes with 50 to 70 active in any given year. Say 60/1350 = 4.4 %.
There are an estimated 3 million sea mounts which by definition are formed by volcanic source (Hillier & Watt, 2007) but this is only an estimate for the area spanning from 60 degree North to 60 degree South, yet the polar regions are very seismic.
Applied to 3 million x 4.4% = 132,000 active submarine seamount volcanoes in any given year.
Moreover, researchers from Waseda Univ. in Japan have just identified "petit-spot volcanoes” along the edges of oceanic plates bordering trench systems. These types of volcanoes have barely any observable chimney. They are shallow domes without elevated shapes like sea mounts and black smokers (acidic hydrothermal vents associated with oceanic ridge systems).
Acidic black smokers are spitting out metal sulfides which support anaerobic life via sulfur reduction.
On the contrary, petit-spot volcanoes kick out alkaline magma which have significant dissolved CO2 than was known previously.
Up until now it was thought that CO2 was delivered to the oceans only via the turbulence and aeration of the Arctic waters. The highly saline and dense Arctic waters sink down to drive the Atlantic Meroidinal Overturning Current.
Now we know that a previously unknown and vastly larger mechanism is delivering CO2 to the oceans. It’s the edges surrounding trench systems.
Inside the Mariana Trench there is the "Champagne Vent”. It is spewing out liquid CO2 at those conditions.
Yup, yup ….. "The science is settled”.
Petit-spot volcanoes involve the deepest known submarine hydrothermal activity, possibly release CO2 and methane

Terminal Decline of Civilization and Hope for the Future
The United States is well within a period of terminal decline. This is a cause of great discouragement and even despair for many. For many years the decline was noticeable but easy to deny. Slowly, imperceptibly you notice that things are not as good as you once remembered. "Oh it is just a recession. Things will return to normal soon.” Services that you always took for granted, whether it be courteous help or functioning roads and bridges disappear.
"Oh it’s just Covid. Things will get back to the way they were eventually.” But they never do. Things continue to get worse. The most perverse sexual degeneracy is paraded before us constantly. You are ruled by a head of state who is demonstrably a petty criminal and know nothing will be done about it. What used to cost ten dollars a few years ago is now twenty. Nothing seems to be able to arrest the decline.
You might be tempted to despair. You might think "it’s over.” "All is lost.” Human civilizations decline and even collapse. Rome was thought to be the eternal city, even after it had become Christian. When it, like America, was in its death throes, many despaired just as so many are tempted to do today. But in the midst of this collapse, one of the titanic figures of Christian history, Augustine of Hippo wrote The City of God. In it he argued that human cities are not eternal, only the city of God is. Far from supporting a gnostic attitude of "‘this world is not my home’ so just give up caring about this world,” this book was instrumental in shaping the thinking of those who would build Christian civilization over the next 1500 years.
We are in a very similar position as the original readers of The City of God. Rather than despairing, we should look beyond the decline to what will come next. Rather than hoping for a return to a mythical golden age of 1776 or the 1950s, we should look to the future. Recognizing that things are falling apart and never going back together, we should ponder what kind of world will we build for our great, great-grandchil
When the Saxons arrived in
Britain and saw the Roman ruins, the remains of great villas and
fortresses, they were amazed at the greatness of the long dead
civilization that preceded them, as if these buildings had been built
by the gods. It is not hard to imagine 200 years into the future people
looking with similar amazement at the lost technological achievements
of this place called "America.” "No, it’s not a legend, they really
were able to light and heat their homes by splitting the atom.”
The
only way to avoid such a fate is for those who are aware of the decline
and alarmed by it to begin constructing parallel society as the world
that exists continues to crumble. That is how classical civilization
was carried forward into medieval Christendom. Peoples began to
decentralize and localize. Their economic activity no longer could be
international like it had been when Rome keep the sea lanes and trade
routes open. New economic and political organization was an absolute
necessity to adapt to the rapid change in circumstances.
God has
given us means that were unavailable so many centuries ago. We can
begin the process of creating a parallel economy, parallel systems of
communication and information, and parallel social and political
organization right now. We don’t have to hope in a political system
that will not allow itself to voted out of power. We don’t have to rely
on an economic system that is run by those who hate us and want us
dead. We have the tools right at our disposal to begin rekindling the
vital spirit of Christian civilization for a new era.
We don’t have
to wait for things to happen to us. We can begin to rebuild even before
it all comes crashing down. That is what Gab is for. The nation that we
love, that our ancestors built and died for does not have to disappear
like so many great empires before it. We can preserve this place and
rebuild it anew if we consciously adopt this mission of civilizational
rebirth and set to work using tools like Gab.
It’s not over. We are going to win.
Tim adds:
I agree. I often say America is fallen and that annoys many Conservatives who think it defeatist. Not at all; it 's realistic. As I always say, we can't stop the fall (it's actually already happened, only the hollowed out form is left) but we can shape the future by our actions now.
The disease of socialism and Progressivism will die with the crumbling civilization, but our efforts now can make a big difference in promoting a new nation, and we may be able to shorten the interregnum.
Part of why the Dark Ages lasted so long was because of multiple disasters on multiple fronts. There were endless invasions - the Huns, the Goths, the Vandals, later the Vikings and Muslims and Mongols. And there were multiple environmental disasters; the year 536, for example, was totally catastrophic, with the sun being blotted out over parts of Europe (it was dark, DARK, not just overcast, in Ireland for over two years, leading to a total crop failure and the fall of Irish civilization). There was a cooling period during that time (followed later by the Medieval Warming Period, which gave rise to the explosion of European civilization on the world stage.) The collapse of Rome was horrific to those who lived through it. But it did make way for what we now call Western Civilization.
We have surpassed the Romans in many areas.
I do want to remind everyone though that there was massive suffering as a result of all this. We won't come away scot-free. But it's unavoidable now. America is in worse shape than the terminal-stage Rome. All the same metrics that accompanied the fall of Rome now haunt us.
Think of John 12:24 "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces a large crop" America and the whole Western World is a grain that is falling and dying. It can produce a crop, but only if it is tended by the farmer aka us.
At any rate we can't save this civilzation; people are asleep and even if they awaken in time they won't fully understand or have the means to turn the dead hand of history. But the fall will change all that; so many of the things that trap us now will die, and new things will arise. We will return to a more local and more limited system of things.
We've overbuilt, made life too comfortable and too complex. Nature abhors overcomplexity as much as it does a vaccuum. So does God, which is why He destroyed the Tower of Babel. He abhorred the pride of Nimrod then and no doubt our pride today.
The sun is setting on the West. But a candle can be lit to burn through the long dark night.

On 17th July 2015 a curious art exhibition took place with the unveiling in Detroit of an 8 and half foot tall, over 3,000lbs bronze statue. The statue had been created by an artist called Mark Porter. 700 people had tickets for the event. A smaller number of protestors had also gathered, but the event was successful enough that the statue went on a nationwide tour. It was seen by thousands upon thousands of additional viewers, and generated enormous media coverage and interest far in excess of what most artists and their works receive. more...

@JonathanTurley
The release of the allegations of an IRS whistleblower includes this WhatsApp message to Henry Zhao: "I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight."
...That is only the latest contradiction of President Biden that he had no knowledge or involvement in his son's business dealings. The whistleblower states that the DOJ and FBI actively slow-walked and interfered with their investigation of Hunter...
...The problem is that the Bidens succeeded in investing the media in the denial of this scandal.

The Democrat Party and the Left are attempting to intimidate and threaten anyone who helps or supports Trump. Neither believes in justice or the right of the voters to decide elections.
What we've learned from pro-Trump attorney John Eastman's state bar trial
npr.org
Tim adds:
They believe only in power. And those who seek only power for it's own sake will perish by it.
I am mindful of Milton's Paradise Lost where Satan is storming Heaven; he and his angels devise all sorts of machines of warfare while the loyal angels of God fight with what is at hand. At the peak, when Satan has overrun the defenders, Jesus comes out to talk some sense into him. He offers to hear any grievance but Satan, being intoxicated with his success, sneers that Jesus only wants to save His own skin. At that point Milton says Jesus' face takes on a horrifying countenance "If all you understand is power then power you will get" and proceeds to kick the tar out of the rebels and drives them over the edge of Heaven.
Eventually those who worship power and use it only because they can will find it used against them. And it will be a most painful lesson.

The Hunter Biden deal is increasingly looking like Watergate, or at least on a par with Watergate. I would say it's actually bigger.
Two articles in Townhall seem to agree.
See this and [/link=https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/06/22/weiss-was-blocked-from-bringing-charges-against-hunter-biden-in-dc-california-n2624882]this.
If Merrick Garland can be shown to have any hand in this the GOP needs to impeach him. And if it can be shown to go up to Biden (which probably isn't difficult to do) they MUST impeach the hair sniffer too.
But knowing the Republican Party they probably won't.
After the two impeachments of Donald Trump the GOP should impeach Biden even if they don't have anything on him. You must respond in kind to such behavior. In politics it truly is an eye for an eye, and if you try to apply Christian forgiveneess you will wind up with two gaping holes where your eyeballs once resided.
Sadly the Republicans never read Sun Tzu, or Macchiavelli.

Imagine being @JoeBiden. Your son makes millions of dollars from foreign entities but does not pay taxes because that would mean disclosing that he is engaged in foreign lobbying. With the millions of dollars and no serious job, he becomes a drug addict and illegally obtains a gun. All he tells them is that he is the son of the US Vice President, and he claims that part of the money will go to the "Big Guy." He promises them access to his dad and top US officials. They hire him without any qualifications and pay him millions of dollars.
Eventually, the information comes out, and the Justice Department has to investigate. The investigation drags on for five years, and eventually, they strike a deal with him to plead guilty to two misdemeanors of tax evasion so that the government would not prosecute him for illegally possessing a gun as a drug addict, a serious crime that has sent tens of thousands of Americans to prison for years.
Imagine being the same father who, as a senator, drafted a draconian anti-drug law that sent tens of thousands of black people and others to prison, confiscated all their belongings, and gave a big speech boasting that the drug addicts should all be taken off the streets. Now that your son is one of them, when you're asked about his case, you say you're proud of him and he has done nothing wrong.
Imagine journalists and commentators like @joenbc justifying it on television, singing your praises when their own child would have been in prison long ago for the same crimes. Imagine the people who believed in the rule of law watching the two-tiered justice system so brazenly displayed.
America is in crisis. May God help us all!
Tim adds:Joe Biden wrote the Crime Bill back in the '90's - the only good thing the hair sniffer ever did, but he set the law in motion for dealing with just such a drug-addled crook as Hunter. Now Biden acts as though he had nothing to do with that bill and that it was a Republican plot to oppress black people.
Poor, poor Joe! It must be tough to have to run away from the only accomplishments he ever had.
