I seem to remember an orb traversing the United States. Biden shot it down after it went over a bunch of military bases.
The Pentagon And NASA Have No Earthly Idea What These Flying Metallic Orbs Really Are
If anyone really believes NASA and the Pentagon don't know what these are I have some swampland for sale cheap.
They are now calling them Unexplained Anomalous Phenomenon or UAP's. Why? No doubt UFO's have become associated with crazy hillbillies on moonshine.
Our government is waging a campaign to convince America there are aliens among us. Now why do you suppose that is?
Remember when Jean Pierre theorized the Chinese spy balloon was a UFO?
I know when someone is whizzing down my back, and when it's raining.

We won one!
Pentagon bans drag shows on military bases after GOP pressure
Pardon, but why were drag shows being performed on military bases?
Remember the slogan "be all that you can be" I guess they should have said "be all that you can be - and a little more too!"
A day before the Pentagon celebrated the June 1 start of Pride Month, top defense leaders were quietly enforcing a militarywide ban on drag performances.
The move became public after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley stepped in to stop a drag show at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., which had been scheduled for Thursday.
In enforcing the ban, which stems from a long-standing Defense Department policy that has not always been applied, critics say the Pentagon appears to have acquiesced to GOP pressure in recent months to cancel those performances at military installations.
Republican lawmakers, in hearings and letters to the Defense Department, have raged over drag shows and diversity programs, which they claim hurt recruiting efforts and compromise warfighting.
LGBTQ rights groups have slammed the apparent shift from the Pentagon, noting the U.S. has a long history of supporting drag shows going back to at least World War I.
Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said Austin has been "unwavering” in supporting LGBTQ groups, but by banning drag shows, he "chose to side with the politics of fear and discrimination peddled by extreme members of Congress.”
so now the trannies are crying like little bi, er, girls because they don't get to play dress-up in front of all those big strong soldier men.

The Senate nullified the debt ceiling bill. They say they can break the debt ceiling in certain instances including money to Ukraine. That will soon morph into anything they want.
Why in a bare 2 1/2 years since Biden was installed are we on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia?
Because the PTB who are printing money into oblivion think they can take the 75 trillion in resources that Russia has. They will go the limit.

So now Fort Bragg is now Fort Liberty.
I ask; did they get a corporate sponsor or something? Is Liberty Mutual bankrolling the place? Will Limu Emu and Doug be on the billboard at the entrance?
How long before they start doing such things?
Daniel 7:25 speaks of the Antichrist "he thinks to change times and laws". I don't know about the Antichrist but the woke mob certainly thinks to do just that.
Muhammed did the same when Muslims took a city; they destroyed the statues and symbols of the conquered land and replaced them with their own. It's why the Taliban kept blowing up statues of the Buddha in Afghanistan.
Or as Sun Tzu said, seize that which the enemy holds dear. They are seizing our history because we hold it dear.
They are trying to erase us as a People and replace us with their own country.

When the image is more important than the reality. Biden has stopped an oil company from drilling near Chaco Canyon, a site revered by American Indians.
One tiny problem. The Indians want the drilling to go ahead … but that would ruin the narrative.

McCarthy thanks our mugger.
Let me give a good analogy about McCarthy's debt ceiling deal.
Many, many years ago I got mugged. I had been out (drinking beer, I might add) and went to a gas station. I had to go to the bathroom (I had been at a bar after all) and went to where this gas station had had the bathrooms (on the side of the building). I turned to find a large, muscular man blocking my way - and holding up a knife.
Now I was young and stupid and mad as a wet hen. I had to think about my situation; I was facing a larger opponent, nowhere to run, and he was armed with a deadly weapon. He knew what I was thinking and just stood there with the knife plainly visible. (A real pro.) Then he told me to open my wallet.
I did. I had sixty bucks inside.
He didn't take it all; he took forty and left me twenty. He let me keep my wallet.
And at the time I was grateful. I was grateful for his benevolence in not robbing me of everything - including my life.
I was also enraged but understood it could have been worse.
But that was the immediate reaction. Later I was furious at the sheer gall of this vile man to take that which was not his and threaten to KILL me if I didn't hand over a few measly dollars!
The fact is he was entitled to none of my money. Not one red cent. I was the victim of a crime.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what occurred with the whole debt-ceiling fiasco. We were victims of a crime. But Kevin McCarthy, too chicken to resist, took a deal that left him with one twenty dollar bill. Biden walked away with the rest, money he had no right to in the first place.
The thing is, McCarthy was not in peril of his life. All he feared was some political backlash.
I would say he sold us out. He got a few meager crumbs, scraps fed to a dog under the table.
And we are told we should be grateful, that this is the best deal he could get. Like me with the mugger, by the time we all get our backs up over this it will be too late.
Of course the police never did catch that mugger. But in this case we know exactly where that mugger resides; on Pennsylvania avenue in the District of Columbia. If I knew where the man who mugged me lived I would have taken action against him. But the GOP will cravenly crawl to the man who stole our lunch money.
This is a habit with the GOP.
Saul Alinsky, the author of Rules for Radicals, the playbook for all of the modern Left, observed "the fear of a thing is worse than that thing itself" and the media and the Democrats have instilled fear of blame in the GOP. They shiver with terror at a government shutdown. Now, they have gone forward with that in the past, but always they are the first to cave based on media polling. Why, pray tell, does the GOP always get the blame from the American People? Well, yes, the media frames it so, but is it really an accurate picture? Biden was the guy who was refusing to negotiate in any real way. Interestingly enough I didn't see any polls one way or the other over this. That tells me the GOP was probably winning the p.r. battle.
Alinsky also said "if you push a negative long and hard enough it will break through and become a positive". The GOP never does that. They dip a toe in the water and finding it a bit chill run back to their mommies.
Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military philosopher, admonished generals to not go half-way "penetration (into enemy territory) but a short way leads to dispersion (of forces)." Tzu believed dipping a toe in the water was worse than useless. You go all in or don't go at all. Now McCarthy has shown weakness, that he can be maneuvered out of political fear. The GOP did what they always do - caved. They pulled out their wallets and handed over the money when Biden demanded, and are telling us we should be thankful we didn't lose our shirts along with the contents of our wallet. In politics strength is everything. The PERCETPION of strength is what matters. Now the sharks smell blood in the water.
Chuck Schumer touted this deal. And Biden was all smiles. Why? They won. They showed our side was as cowardly and foolish as John Boehner or Paul Ryan used to be. And why not? We put Ryan's bestie in charge (Ryan, Eric Cantor, and McCarthy were three amigos, the so-called Young Guns.) McCarthy is cut from the same pucillanimous cloth.
So now McCarthy has handed over the one tool he had to keep the Biden Administration honest. Biden no longer faces any debt ceiling issues. He can spend as he pleases without House oversight.
He mugged the GOP and America. And the one man we relied on to stop this robbery is thanking him for not taking more.
This is much like hiring the Hells Angels to work security at a Rolling Stone concert. The security is worse than the threat.

McCarthy-Biden debt-ceiling deal fully funds the climate-industrial complex - Competitive Enterprise Institute
cei.org
So why did we elect a Republican Congress?
Let me see now; we've got most of the new IRS agents. We've got a guaranteed increase in spending to the tune of three TRILLION bucks. We surrendered the only hold we have over Biden for two years - meaning he can do as he pleases until after the next election. We keep the Gang-Greenous climate radicalism alive.
What did we get? A tiny bit more oil and gas drilling, something that largely won't happen because everyone knows Biden will simply close it back down. It's expensive to get these wells up and running.
Man, they saw McCarthy coming. I've seen teenagers swindled less by used car salesmen.
In answer to the title question, yes he would!
Nikki Grace adds:
Apparently the Senate put some stipulations in the debt ceiling. They can borrow above it for certain categories, including more money for Ukraine. So basically there is no debt ceiling. They have negated the original bill for debt ceilings.
What happens when countries continue to print money not based on production? We are speeding up the inevitable.

Here is a clear-eyed look at the coming fiscal disaster and how the GOP capitulation on the debt ceiling is but one more nail in a long-awaited coffin.
Sacred entitlements remain untouchable. Middle-class welfare – ie. consumption – will continue to eat up an ever-greater share of the budget. It is this that is leading to slow fiscal ruin.
The gross debt-to-GDP ratio was 62pc in 2007(IMF data). It will be 122pc this year, and 138pc by 2028, with no sign of reaching a plateau. By then it will have overtaken Italy.
It is a sobering thought that the US is racking up as much debt-to-GDP accumulation over 20 years as it did over two world wars and the Great Depression combined.
You can blame it on the Lehman crisis and Covid, overlaid with Trump’s unfunded tax cuts and Biden’s unfunded multi-trillion fiscal spree, but behind that lies a structural rot across most of the federal budget.
China’s fiscal deterioration has been just as bad. The difference is that China funds its own borrowing (for now) from high internal savings. Foreigners have some $25 trillion of net debt claims on the US government and US corporations.
America’s net international investment position has gone from near balance a generation ago to minus 62pc of GDP. Part of that is the distortion of the strong dollar. A big chunk is not. America is selling the family silver to live (so is Britain).
"It is alarming to us, and should be to other investors, too. What is even more alarming is the lack of concern on the part of the US policymakers,” said Stephen Jen from Eurizon SLJ, who advises Asian sovereign wealth funds.
"Foreign investors should not be blamed for starting to wonder if the US Treasuries and the dollar are still safe. We believe the US debt problem will have consequences for the markets in the not-too-distant future,” he said.
The immediate effect of the debt deal is contractionary. The US Treasury has added $500bn of financial liquidity since early February by draining its account at the US Federal Reserve in order to keep the government going.
This has acted as a form of quantitative easing (QE) and overwhelmed the Fed’s quantitative tightening (QT), flattering the spring rally on Wall Street.
The process is about to go into sharp reverse as the Treasury taps the debt markets to rebuild depleted coffers. The next few months will see synthetic QT on steroids.
[...]
To continue pushing this Rooseveltian spending agenda after the economy was at near full capacity and in a V-shaped recovery was playing with inflationary fire, but it also guaranteed that interest costs would blow up in her face.
It has proved to be a Faustian Pact. By next year the interest burden will be 2.7pc.
From there it will ratchet higher every year by mechanical effect. Every item of the US fiscal apparatus – entitlements, interest, and rising defence costs for the new Cold War with the dictators – all paint a portrait of runaway debts.
The US borrows in its own currency and has a modern tax-raising apparatus. It is not about to run out of money like Philip II in 16th century Spain, or Louis XVI in 18th century France.

While I rather doubt the Intelligence services were pro-Brexit, I do believe they tampered with the election. I believe the Brits tampered with OUR election too. We know they and the other "five eyes" nations were working hand-in-glove to take down Trump. For instance, the Popodopoulis incident had all the earmarks of a British Mi6 black op. That way the CIA could have "plausible deniability".

Thousands of more illegal aliens will be admitted to the U.S. by the implementation of a phone ap that lets them apply.
Might I ask the most basic of questions? WHERE ARE THESE DIRT POOR PEOPLE GETTING SMART PHONES so they can use the apps?
I mean, we were told they are refugees, carrying nothing but the clothes on their backs. Yet they manage to apply for asylum with a smart phone. Where are they getting them?
And how are we vetting people we are not personally interviewing? I mean anyone, ANYONE can be on the app.
America is being erased and the public is gleefully handing Biden the eraser.

Saudi Arabia is mad at Russia for lowballing them on oil prices.
According to Yahoo News:
The report found that Saudi Arabia's efforts to curtail production and push oil prices higher earlier this year have been undermined by Moscow's flood of cheap oil supply,and that the oil-rich nation has expressed its anger at Russia for not following through on its pledge to throttle production, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
"Saudi officials have complained to senior Russian officials and asked them to respect the agreed cuts," the report said.
Members of OPEC+ said in early April that they would reduce oil output to help prop up oil prices. But recent data suggests Russia isn't following through on its side of the deal as it seeks to generate revenue to help fund its struggling economy and war effort.
Oil prices have been in a solid downtrend since they peaked in March 2022, right after Russia invaded Ukraine, which set off a slew of supply-chain related problems and helped push oil prices above $120 per barrel. WTI Crude oil fell 4% on Tuesday to just under $70 per barrel, while Brent Crude oil fell 4% to $74.07 per barrel.
Saudi Arabia needs oil above a key break-even level of $81 per barrel to help fund its massive budget of so-called gigaprojects, which include a 110-mile long city in the desert called "The Line" and a resort in the Red Sea that's the size of Belgium.
Economic advisors have privately warned Saudi senior policy makers that the kingdom needs higher oil prices for the next five years in order to keep funding billions of dollars of projects, according to the report. That's in part because the projects have failed to attract a lot of investment from abroad.
Now isn't that interesting; Russia is ramping up oil production just as Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy have agreed to increase American oil production.American oil is not competitive in a market where oil is cheap. The Russians know that.
So they are ramping up drilling so we can't.
I'm sure the Saudis are mad at the Russians for this; they like being in control of the price of oil. It's their principle tool - and weapon.
This could signal a crackup at OPEC.
What it also signals is lower prices are coming for gasoline and natural gas.
Granted, this helps Joe Biden, who is in desperate need of things improving before the next election. And Mr. Putin would love that; he needs Biden to stay in power. Trump will rein him in if he is elected and Putin knows it.
So riddle me this Batman; if Biden's oil embargo is working why is Putin selling so much more oil and gas?

Rishi Sunak will join 46 other European leaders in Moldova today for the second meeting of the fledgling European Political Community.

If you watch Chinese mainland films and series on Rakuten Viki they are very conservative, very male/female oriented archetypes. And boy do their sets look opulent. The clothes, the beauty of the actors,(there are no woke actors or themes) the corporate settings, the cities. We really need to know what is going on there. It looks like the USA population paid for this ascension and wealth of China and the entire east. Our government and politicians sold us into slavery, sold our heritage.
Tim replies:
There was a conscious plan to make China a world superpower.Made
We STILL give China foreign aid for "developing countries" even while they keep buying up our debt and lending us money, lending us money to give to them!
Through the Clinton, Bush, and Obama eras the U.S. systematically dismantled our industries and shipped most of them to China. We did it for "environmental"
I am of the opinion this whole thing was planned, that it was decided by the powers that be that the U.S. would be the tech industry, China the manufacturing center, India the collection and distribution center, Africa and Latin America the raw materials center, etc. I think they planned this to make us "interdependent
China was the key; make China a rich world power and all the rest would fall in line. So now they've succeeded, and we made China rich off American taxpayers and American wealth. But China has her own plans for the future. And we may not like them much.

Arise young child! A rise and be glad
the morning is here, wash your face and be clad!
the sun pokes it's face over mountain and glade
the trail awaits, it's a gentle soft grade!
A hike in the wood
down a green sylvan pike
the dawn so pleasant down the trail I strike
All the birds are so happy, no time to be sad
now hurry along son so much to be had.
thus the trail does becon thus the morning does bade
and I eagerly strayed from the night times long shade!
O'er the hills and the valleys , o'er rivers and streams
In the stillness I dally not for long so it seems
In a race with the sun, which so lazily hurries
I find marvelous fun, and in joy have few worries
Oh what a wonderful thing is the morning in June
all the birds are out singing, all their marvelous tunes
but still that old sun seems to race far ahead
and my brow is now damp, and my skin turning red
And every so often a path breaks from the trail
and I'm not really sure if my course will soon fail
Do I turn right or left, do I follow the sun?
Do I turn at the cleft, or do I stay on this run?
I make my choices though I'm not really sure
the woods whispering voices to my mind as a lure
Each step of the way the road seems to grow narrow
Each passing climbs steeper, and I find it does harrow
The shadows are creeping, longer now in the afternoon
I wish I were sleeping, but it won't come too soon
the trail is long and is dusty and hot
I don't feel as strong as my hopes would allot
And still I have such a long way I must go
I climb up the ridges and climb down below
the bugs are about now and I swat them with zeal
I'm hot and I'm tired with a sore on my heel
The pleasant breeze of morning has turned a hot wind
it happened without warning, like a curse for ones' sin
My water's running dry now and my food is nearly gone
I swat away the flies and I miss the bright blue dawn
Oh where did the glories of the morning fly?
so playful and so joyous but now they are so shy
It's getting late now and my hike is winding down
I know not what my fate entails but I trundle without sound
I long for laughter, I long for friends
I hope that after I'll make my amends
The shadows long now, like ghosts on the path
their haunting songs put me in fear of their wrath
Shadows of the blades of grass
loom over me like sharp knives of brass
The trails are all converging now, my choices narrow more
is this the end of my great hike, or is there more in-store?
It seems it didn't matter which road I chose to tread
all roads pose the same portents, they fill me all with dread
And there in the distance I spy a high dark wall in the twilit gloom
I hear the cries of birds of prey, I fear the hand of doom
But there is no way to pass the wall, or turn back from my route
the grass is dry and withered now, the trees bereft of fruit
Then I see the tiny door in the wall so great and small and bare
My only route to get back home, I must take it, I must dare
I seek what lies beyond the door but the bright and sunny day
has turned to dust and the sun to rust,and my limbs will not obey
I stand alone on that windblown plain
the twilight gone
as is my lane
But I am afraid in a way I have never been before
what, pray tell, lay beyond that way
what beyond it is in store?
But there's no going back and there's no sitting still, though I desperately wish there would be
so I slip off my pack and I hike up my will and I poke in my head for to see
An undiscovered country, a morning pure and bright
a better place to tarry a place with joy and light
I looked back on my trail and saw my still self there
a strangely empty visage, a cold and blank dead stare
What do I care?
I slip inside the door
there I'll find so very much more.
