A Rigged Game
Glenn Glazier
Even Chunk Yogurt and Ana Kast-aspersions are admitting that Big Gov't (i.e. Democrats & RINOs) have set up the system so that the wealthy become SUPER WEALTHY, and the Average Americans becomes impoverished.
Be careful there, Young Turks, you're starting to sound like Conservative MAGA country!
MSNBC Accidentally Airs The Truth

Tim adds:
The strange thing about the young is they do understand the corporatism of the Democrats but their solution isn't to return to true capitalism but to promote socialism. They don't realize you are trading one set of thieves for another if you do that, and the new set has even more power. They don't understand these megacorporations love big government and use it as a tool to get wealthier at the average person's expense. What is neededis what G.K. Chesterton called Distributism, which is small enterpreneurs running a decentralized economy.

Stephanopoulis: We Must Lie
Greg Malakoff
The democrats that relentlessly accuse their opponents of disinformation are busy lying at levels never imaginable before. The only thing worse than a lie, is telling half truths with everything out of context. We have many dangerous enemies on the world stage, China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Mexico, but none are as diabolical as the democratic party and their filthy disgusting media.

The Empire Strikes Back
Jerry S. Rainforth
This is an excerpt from a long article on the effects and results of the recent pandemic.
By Jeffery Tucker
It was about a growing global revolt that needed to be tamped down. The most extreme trick in the shock-and-awe playbook was infectious disease.
This provoked a global establishment, backed by intelligence agencies and the world’s richest corporations, into extreme action with the purpose of reminding populations of the world about who was really running things. As part of that, global media companies, tech companies, and Pharma companies became rich with subsidies and forced consumption. It was not only a political coup but an industrial one too.
We are left today to pick up the pieces even as elite forces are attempting another power grab through the World Health Organization, as its international health regulations imagine many world scenarios of "lockdown until vaccination.” Many nations in the world today are working to stop these efforts.
What was my main takeaway from these meetings? It became very obvious to me that we are facing today a beast of a different sort than we’ve ever seen. The problem is not only national but global. It is not only government but an international government/industry combine that seeks to become a ruling cartel that utterly disables freedom and democracy all over the world.

Ukrainian Lawmaker Votes Against Aid
Timothy Birdnow
Congress has one and only one Ukrainian in its membership. And she voted against the Ukrainian aid package.
What does that say about it?
If U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz,who was born and raised in Ukraine, thinks this is a boondoggle why do we doubt it?

U.S. Buying Old Soviet Fighters
Timothy Birdnow
Your tax dollars at work!
Business InsiderBusiness Insider
US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says
Yes, we really ARE buying old Soviet MIGS from Khazakstan!
Hopefully we're giving them to Ukraine and not using them ourselves, but given the problems with Boeing who knows?
Any way you slice it it's a bad deal. It's perhaps better than nothing for Ukraine but not much.

Ukraine's Defensive Perimeter About to Collapse
Timothy Birdnow
Ukraine's defensive line is about to collapse, according to The Institute for the Study of War.
All the money we are about to pour into the Ukraine is money down a rat hole.
Russia will win this. They have the manpower, the equipment, and the determination. While Ukraine has Western aid they don't have the manpower to win; they will need NATO troops, boots on the ground.
I suspect we're going to see a movement to get "peacekeepers" in the region, and then an "incident" will occur to turn this war into a world conflict.

Biden Set Trump Up
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well....
The National Archive story takes an intersting twist. Seems the GSA was holding a whole pallet of classified documents then called Trump and demanded he take them all shortly before the raid on Mar-A-Lago.
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/04/28/new-bombshell-evidence-emerges-was-trump-set-up-in-classified-docs-saga-n4928572
So the Biden Administration shipped classified documents to Mar-A-Lago to set Donald Trump up for this prosecution.
Even if that was not the intent, it was the GSA that mishandled classified material, not reviewing it before shipping it to Trump.
This has all the earmarks of a Barack Obama dirty trick.
Strange how little the media is reporting on this.
Meanwhile Joe Biden had classified documents from when he was a Senator and had no right whatsoever to be holding such material. Yet no charges were filed against him, ostensibly because he's senile.
Ameirica looks increasingly like a banana republic.

Navarro Going to Prison
Timothy Birdnow
Peter Navarro has had his appeal to the U.S. Suprme Court that he be released from prison pending appeal dismissed by the supposedly conservative court.
https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2024/04/29/new-supreme-court-denies-peter-navarros-bid-for-release-from-prison-pending-his-appeal-n2173477
This is the second time John Roberts has refused Navarro's request.
Navarro, former trade advisor to Donald Trump, refused to obey a subpoena by Congress and was found guilty of contempt.
Interestingly enough both Obama and Biden have had multiple advisors who ignored subpoena's and nothing happened to any of them, but Navarro has to serve four months in the slammer.
One example was Eric Holder, who refused to comply with a subpoena over Fast and Furious. He was convicted of Contempt of Congress but never served any time,nor was criminally prosecuted.
Navarro, on the other hand, had the book thrown at him.
Navarro's great crime was in refusing to appear before the hyper-partisan J6 committee where he was going to be put in a perjory trap so they could squeeze him to finger Donald Trump.
So a man guilty only of not participating in a lynch mob is going to prison while Holder - whose Fast and Furious scheme cost lives - walks around free as a bird.
Something must be done about this.

Biden Wants Netanyahu arrested
Timothy Birdnow
Robert Spencer says the Biden Administration has sworn out a warrant with the International Criminal Court in the Hague to have Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders arrested for war crimes.
According to Spencer:
Biden and his leftist bosses are isolating Israel, in much the way that the Bible predicted so long ago.
Robert Spencer says the Biden Administration has sworn out a warrant with the International Criminal Court in the Hague to have Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders arrested for war crimes.
According to Spencer:
If a Wednesday report in the Israeli media is accurate, this is one of the most, if not the most, craven betrayal of an ally in American history, and in the entire world’s history.
The Israeli journalist Amit Segal published a Hebrew-language story in the popular Israeli news outlet Mako that reveals an American betrayal of Israel of stupefying magnitude. "Very senior officials associated with the International Criminal Court in The Hague,” wrote Segal, "have spoken about Israel’s fear of arrest warrants for senior officials in the context of the war in Gaza. The officials told N12 [Mako’s broadcast channel] that the intention to issue such orders would not have been possible without American consent.”
The threat of arrest from the International Criminal Court is not hanging over the heads of minor officials only. "Last week,” Segal reports, "the Prime Minister’s Office held an urgent discussion on the issue, in which serious concerns were raised about allowing the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli security and political leaders, including against Netanyahu himself.” This could all happen quickly: "Reports that have recently arrived in Jerusalem,” Segal continues, "indicate that the chance of issuing arrest warrants has increased dramatically, possibly as soon as next month.”
Segal noted that this was happening with American approval: "Regarding the intention to issue arrest warrants for senior Israelis, the sources at The Hague said that it is impossible that the chief prosecutor would have decided on such a dramatic step, in a war that is still ongoing, with very little evidence, if he had not at least had a ‘green light’ from the Americans. If this is true, this is another and unprecedented low in relations between Israel and the US, at a very sensitive time, on the eve of the ground entry to Rafah.”

Ban the Jab!
Timothy Birdnow
Interesting.
ARizona GOP passes Ban The Jab Resolution
FTA:
Whereas:
Strong and credible evidence shows Covid 19 and Covid 19 injections are biological and technological weapons, and Pfizer’s clinical data revealed 1,223 deaths, 42,000 adverse cases, 158,000 adverse incidents, and approximately 1,000 side effects, and an enormous number of people have died and or have been permanently disabled after having been injected by the Covid 19 injections, and strong and credible evidence from Sweden exists that Covid mRNA shots alter human DNA, and government agencies, media, and tech companies, and other corporations have committed enormous fraud by claiming Covid injections are safe and effective, and The Florida Department of Health has called for a halt to the mRNA injections, and continued experimentation on humans and denial of informed consent are violations of the Nuremberg Code and therefore constitute crimes against humanity,
Resolved:
On behalf of the preservation of the human race, the 2024 Arizona Republican Party Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates call upon Governor Hobbs and the state legislature to prohibit the sale and distribution of Covid injections and all mRNA injections in Arizona, and for the Arizona Attorney General to immediately seize all Covid injections and mRNA injections in Arizona and perform a forensic analysis on these so-called "vaccines.”

A Sinister Force for Evil
Timothy Birdnow
Instapundit discusses the end of the university system and how this offers us an unique opportunity as colleges becomes cesspools and money pits.
I agree,although I think we need to ask afew fundamental questions.
We must ask "what is the purpose of college?" I really can't get an answer to that question most of the time.
Most people say "to get an education" but that clearly isn't the purpose any longer. College kids are often woefully educated on basic issues. And their professors are no better; a few years ago a bunch of them FLUNKED a 7th grade general knowledge test from the 19th century. So it is not about educating young people.
Nor does it teach them to think. Just try to reason with a college kid and see the giant gaps in their reasoning.
It's mostly about instilling values in kids - values that are at odds with those of the parents and of our society as we have always known it.
So what is the value in a college education?
Basically it's social life and having a degree so hopefully you can get a good job.
But so few college kids get good jobs these days. Often there is no market for their degrees. Who wants to hire a bachelor of women's studies? It doesn't prepare the kids for real life. And since everyone now has a degree it has become essentially worthless.
We need to have a serious alternative to college, not just change the institutions. For some an apprenticeship in a trade is fine, but for others we need to find a way to recreate the things kids go to college for without the framework of a university that has shown itself so easily corrupted.
We need a kind of self-study program with a kind of campus atmosphere where young folks can socialize and enjoy a bit of freedom without the professors twisting their minds.
We must find a way to certify kids as competent without making them kowtow to the professorial class, the leftists.
I remember there was a program years ago which helped give college credits to people with expertise (remember the commercial with Abraham Lincoln discussing the Kansas Nebraska Act?) We need more of that. Not just the AP test to cover credits, but a more comprehensive approach that certifies knowledge without the "benefit" of a communist prof.
More thought on this is needed.
One thing is clear; colleges are now the citadels of Satan, and the source of most of the misery in the Western World. They have outlived their usefulness and are now nothing but a disruptive and sinister force for evil.

How Do You Know?
Selwyn Duke
When Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed she couldn’t define "woman” during her confirmation hearings in 2022, it created quite a stir. The story only would’ve been better if Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who’d asked the then-judicial nominee to define the term, had followed up with, "Are you a woman, Judge Jackson?” The follow-up to that then should’ve been:
"How do you know?”
Do "Scientists” REALLY Claim There’s No "‘Simple’ Answer to Define ‘Woman’”?

Kavanaugh "Malicious Prosecutions Could End Presidency"
Timothy Birdnow
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh warns that malicious prosecutions could spell the end of the Presidency as an institution.
FTA:
Justice Kavanaugh said that when presidents are subject to prosecution, history shows that it’s not going to stop.
"It’s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president ... and the next president and the next president after that.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who said that the court is "writing a rule for the ages,” along with Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Kavanaugh all said that their concern was not so much the case against President Trump, but rather the effect of the ruling on future presidencies.
"This case has huge implications for the presidency, for the future of the presidency, for the future of the country,” Justice Kavanaugh said.
‘Rule for the Ages’
Former Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben, who argued for Mr. Smith, said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution never intended for presidents to be above the law.
Mr. Dreeben also said that the crimes President Trump is charged with—including allegedly participating in a scheme to enlist dueling electors in battleground states won by President Joe Biden to cast alternate slates of electoral votes for him—weren’t a part of the president’s official duties.
Attorney D. John Sauer, who argued for President Trump, told the justices that without presidential immunity from criminal charges, the "presidency as we know it” will be changed, contending that the looming threat is that a decision to deny immunity would "destroy” presidential decisionmaking at a time in the nation’s history when it needs to be bold.
Mr. Sauer argued that the impact of the case would have implications far beyond the question at hand, raising the hypothetical prospect of President Biden facing charges of encouraging illegal immigration with his border policies.
Justice Kavanaugh expressed concern about the future implications of the case, warning of the prospect of a vicious cycle of malicious prosecutions that could hamper presidents for years to come.

538 Says Biden is Losing
Timothy Birdnow
According to 538Trump leads Biden in all swing states and is even with Commander McBiden nationally.
538 is the Democrats beloved pollster and no fan of the Donald.
"It's the moment you've all been waiting for: Today, 538 launched our interactive polling averages for the 2024 presidential general election. They show incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump essentially tied in national polls and Trump with a tenuous lead in key swing states.
Specifically, as of April 25 at 9 a.m. Eastern, our national polling average shows 40.9 percent of likely voters would support Biden if the election were held today, while 41.6 percent would support Trump."
So Biden is losing both nationally and especially in the battleground states.
Time to expect some fireworks. Biden and his ilk no doubt have an October surprise for Trump. Probably a war but it could be a number of other things. No doubt Biden is hoping for a conviction in New York.

Jill Stein Arrested at Wash. U.
Timothy Birdnow
Communist and seemingly perpetual Green Party candidate Jill Stein was arrested at pro-terrorism protests at Washington University in St. Louis.
I'm surprised the University City cops (not the campus police but the municipal cops) had the cajones.
Question; will Stein be prosecuted and treated in the same way Donald Trump was treated? Will she face hundreds of years prison time? Charged with insurrection?
Somehow I suspect not.
Washington University is 24% Jewish. Shouldn't this be prosecuted as a hate crime?
