Covering Biden
Timothy Birdnow
The Biden Administration took great pains to hide Joe's imploding mental health.
Everything from controlling Biden's schedule to adjusting the lighting in his appearances to make him appear more robust were implemented by his people to gaslight America.
Apparently the country was being run by Biden's advisers - the so-called "Biden Whisperer" who set policy and handled the affairs of state. Biden was merely a figurehead.
But we already knew that.
Still, I wonder if this isn't a case of gaslighting itself. Biden is facing potential criminal charges when he gets out of office over decades of dirty dealings. And we all remember Robert Hur choosing not to prosecute Biden over his stealing classified documents when he had no right to possess them (unlike Trump who, as President, could have whatever documents he wanted) because he was Veep and before that just a Senator. So is this a way to try to minimize Biden's legal jeopardy? I've theorized that Biden played the senile old man for just this purpose in times gone by. Now perhaps he's getting a little help from his friends.
The Wall Street Journal has a conservative editorial board but was declared to be the most LIBERAL major news source a number of years back by a study from UCLA. It is more liberal than the New York Times in it's news coverage.
A poll conducted a few years ago agreed with this assessment.
So is Joe innocent by way of mental unfitness? Or is he just slithering out of the mess he's made? If the latter he needs to compensate the victims, which includes ALL of us! As ye steal so shall ye weep!

Due Process over '20 Fraud Goes to SCOTUS
Timothy Birdnow
Now this is interesting!
It appears the 2020 election fraud case is headed to the Supreme Court. Yes, I did say that!
Seems two brothers - Loy Brunson and Raland Brunson - filed two separate lawsuits in Utah over violation of due process in the refusal of Congress to investigate allegations of vote fraud AS REQUIRED BY LAW in the 2020 theft of the Presidency.
The Tenth Circuit was unable to decide the case and the U.S. Supreme Court has actually placed it on the docket.
According to the article:
The reality is the whole election fraud business was clearly swept under the rug by both parties who were eager to get back to doing the work of lining their own pockets the American People. They wanted to make Trump a bad dream from which they gratefully awakened.
But it didn't work out that way and he's back and the Supreme Court will now hear this case. If the brothers win it will force Congress to investigate serious allegations of vote fraud in any future election.
We sorely need that. The Democrats have stolen not just the Presidency but multiple House and Senate seats over the years and nothing has ever been done to stop them because there has been no political will. Republicans have been frightened to act, probably out of fear of blackmail and lawfare. There is "no controlling legal authority" except the very people who benefitted from the theft.
That has to change if America is to be restored.

According to the article:
" Their case hinges on constitutional amendment violations of the right to due process. When an election has concerns of fraud, constitution allows for a 10 day investigation to look at the potential fraud questions and determine if fraud did or did not occur.
This case is NOT one of election fraud, it is about congress and the senate NOT doing their oath of office and violating Amendment I to the constitution, Article VI of the constitution, the 14th Amendment of the constitution, section 3, the 5th and the 9th Amendment of the constitution, as well as a couple of Utah State Constitution articles. Most pertain to due process, the right to investigation, and not performing the 10 day investigation when questions of election fraud were presented to congress. "

Christmas Market Killing in Germany
Timothy Birdnow
Timothy Birdnow
A Saudi doctor rammed his car through a crowd at a Christmas market with five dead and two hundred injured in Magdeburg Germany.
His name was not released by authorities but the media scuttlebut is he is someone named Taleb A. who allegedly is an anti-Muslim immigrant from Saudi Arabia. The media is quite quick to claim he is anti-Muslim even though we don't have a lst name - now how do they determine this?
Here is the money quote from the article:
According to the AP article he was a "former Muslim" who was angry with the German government for allowing so many Muslims in, and he was a strong supporter of the Right Wing Alternative for Germany party (ADF).
See, it's all "right wing hate" and not Islamic jihad.
Germany's government is collapsing and the Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, lost a no-confidence vote recently, forcing new elections. I smell a rat here. I suspect the German government is promoting the wrong guy, or if not is lying about his views to tar the conservatives who will be running against Scholz and the leftist coalition backing him.
The article quotes an anti-terrorism expert - Peter Neumann - who says this man in no way fits the profile of a terrorist:
"After 25 years in this ‘business’ you think nothing could surprise you anymore. But a 50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim who lives in East Germany, loves the AfD and wants to punish Germany for its tolerance toward Islamists — that really wasn’t on my radar,"
Yet the German government is insisting this guy was a right-wing extremist:
"On Saturday, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters: "At this point, we can only say for sure that the perpetrator was evidently Islamophobic — we can confirm that. Everything else is a matter for further investigation and we have to wait.”'
Nancy Fraser is a member of the leftist Social Democrats, the same party as Chancellor Olaf Scholz, you know, the guys who made this mess in Germany and who want to win back power in the February election.
I think they are gaslighting us.
And if not? The Koran has a concept called Taqqiya, which means you can lie to infidels to advance the cause of Islam. One would suspect this guy did precisely that.
None of this would be an issue had Germany kept these "refugees" out in the first place.
BTW He ran an organization helping Muslims immigrate to Germany.

Drones Everywhere
Timothy Birdnow
There's everywhere! They're everywhere!
US drone mystery deepens with 5,000+ UAV sightings, including military bases
This increasingly looks like the precursor for an invasion,or at least some sort of major event.
This article tries very hard to justify the government's reassurances, but color me most skeptical.
If any drone is flying over a military installation it should be shot down without delay.

"Gender Fluidity" is the Social Construct
Timothy Birdnow
One must wonder at "transgenderism" in the animal kingdom. While animals don't wear clothes or makeup so it's harder to tell what "gender" rolls they are playing it is generally possible to see who is male and female. You don't really find male lions hunting with the gals, for instance. You would if "gender" were fluid.
While this paper does not address this issue directly it does analyse the sex differences in mice that are subject to inflammatory damage in vitro and finds the females far less prone to most behavioral changes from the developmental problems created by hypoxia and the like.
So what does that tell us? We all know boys are more likely to get a plethora of issues like Aspbergers and autism as well as ADHD etc. This paper shows that it is sex-selective even in animals and goes back to the very earliest stages of life. So, sex (and gender) are NOT simple social constructs as the looney left is claiming but instead are in fact hard-wired biological imperatives.

The Groomers at U. of Minnesota
Timothy Birdnow
The University of Minnesota has been paying to get five year olds to play with sex-change dolls in an overt effort to sexually groom them to switch hit early on.
'They want to groom your children': University of Minnesota fronted cash to get 5-year-olds to play with sex-change dolls
This is a state college and thus funded by taxpayers. They have absolutely no free speech rights to permit them to do this.
Time for a class-action lawsuit.
This transgender business is a long time in the making. I remember back in the '90's when there was this crazy idea floated of "male lesbians". Feminists kooks found a way to blame men for everything and still have the pleasure of a few around by saying they aren't masculine but actually womyn in men's bodies. This was a short-lived thing and everyone laughed it off, but it was a trial balloon for transgenderism. Now they are openly claiming we do not know what sex a person is; it's just how they feel.
And in the process they are erasing every gain made by women over the years as men are now openly competing with them. Feminism forsooth! They are pushing women to the back of the bus and they have nobody but themselves to blame.

CR Passes
Timothy Birdnow
The CR that was passed by the House on Friday was trimmed down 1,359 pages after a revolt by Conservatives against House Squeeker Mike Johnson. The bill went from 1,547 pages to just 118, despite "Tiny" Johnson's protestations.
The revised bill passed 256 to 34.
Now how hard was that Johnson? Turns out you didn't need all that pork in the bill to get it through. And the Democrats were probably more frightened of a government shutdown than were Republicans; think on that Mike!
At any rate the thirty four Republicans who voted against this did so primarily because they stood with Trump in wanting the debt ceiling eliminated. I don't know why Trump wants this so badly but it's a bad sign. (Well, actually I do; he's going to have to spend a LOT of money when he first takes office to do what he needs to do - close the borders and evict millions of illegal aliens, for instance.) But it's a mistake on his part to get rid of the debt ceiling in that it is the only thing that constrains Congress at this point (though it rarely stops them) and in two years the Democrats will probably be back in charge of the House and possibly the Senate. Unless the Republicans take bold action now and move Trump's agenda (and I doubt they will with Johnson at the helm and I suspect the Democrats will see to it he's re-elected as Speaker) they will follow the normal trend and lose seats - in a House where they hold just a five seat majority.
So eliminating the debt ceiling may be good for now but terrible for later. I don't know why Trump doesn't see that.
Not having read this bill I cannot comment on it, but it IS a bit disturbing the Democrats are not all that unhappy with it. I wonder if something isn't lurking inside of it.
But at least we eliminated much of the pork and Johnson showed his hand yet again. We cannot move forward with a guy like that at the helm.
Johnson spoke of a "sea change" coming; when will that start Mike? The election is over so there was no political fallout to take even if the government shut down, so why wait until the next Congress? His reasoning is faulty to the point where I do not believe what he is saying; he knows he's full of guano.
If you can't take a risk when there is little risk why would you take a risk when the stakes are higher?
The GOP is still a corrupt and feckless institution.

DOE Backs Down
Timothy Birdnow
More winning!
Department of Education Withdraws Rule on Transgender Athletes in School Sports
The rule would have forced schools to accept athletes who feel like the sex of their choice to play in that category. Many districts were putting rules in place to keep the sexes segregated in sports and the DOE wanted to ban such rules.
Why now? Because the Department of Education is facing it's demise under the Trump Presidency. They're scared.
Good; they should be!

No Country for Old Men (Or Women)
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a disturbing little story about our government. It seems a Republican House member, one Kay Granger from the great state of Texas, has been awol since July. Nobody even noticed she was gone, it seems, but eventually a local news source started digging and it turns out Granger is in a nursing home for those suffering dementia, being placed there after she was found wandering the streets incoherent.
So for five months we've been without one Republican vote when the House is on a razor thin margin.
Doesn't the fact that nobody seemed to notice her absence suggest our lawmaking body is top-heavy? I mean, if we don't even notice some old gal has disappeared, was she really necessary at all?
There needs to be a law passed that requires House and Senate members to vote. If they miss, say, three votes in a row without a valid excuse they should be suspended and perhaps - at least with the House - a special election held.
This shows our government is shlerotic and not at all concerned with actually doing what they were sent to D.C. to do.
Fortunately Granger did not seek re-election. She is being replaced by Republican Craig Goldman for the Ft. Worth area district.

Syphillis - America's Curse on Europe
Timothy Birdnow
It's now confirmed by genetic testing; syphillis is an American export to Europe and not something Columbus gave to the Native Americans.
FTA:
"When a mysterious flesh-rotting disease broke out in Europe in 1495, two years after Christopher Columbus returned from the Americas, suspicion fell on his crew.
Syphilis was soon rampant across the Continent and beyond, but its origins continued to be fiercely debated, with some historians claiming it was actually home-grown.
Now, scientists have carried out genetic testing on the bones of infected people from Chile, Peru, Mexico and Argentina, who lived between the 13th and 15th centuries and died before Columbus arrived.
They found that ancestral forms of syphilis were present in the New World before it was discovered by Europeans, suggesting the bacterium did indeed hitch a lift back with the explorers.
"The data clearly support a root in the Americas for syphilis and its known relatives, and their introduction to Europe starting in the late 15th century is most consistent with the data,” said Kirsten Bos, group leader for molecular paleopathology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.
"While indigenous American groups harboured early forms of these diseases, Europeans were instrumental in spreading them around the world.”
End
This has long been suspected by scientists who noted it's similarity to other diseases known in central and south America. But it's been an article of faith that the Europeans introduced it to the Indians because, well, we all know everything they did was evil and so they had to despoil paradise with their filthy lecher's disease.
In it's day syphillis was as dreaded and terrible as AIDS was in the '80's and '90's. There was no cure for it, although on rare occasions people went into permanent remission. But it gets into the nervous system and many of those in remission went insane from it.
Penicillin changed all that because it's a bacteria and is now easily treated (easily enough, anyway).
Now,it is true the Natives suffered from the arrival of Europeans as they were more susceptible to the European diseases. That makes perfect sense in that the Europeans were always coming into contact with other peoples, some from quite far away (like China or subsaharan Africa) and so their immune systems were better at dealing with novel infections. Also, the lack of cross-cultural trade in the Americas (for instance the Aztecs didn't even know of the Incans and vice-versa)which stemmed largely from a lack of proper pack animals and the Indians not inventing the wheel or any sort of ship capable of moving large numbers of people or cargo made the Americas isolated and as a result open to the new infections coming from the old world.
At any rate efforts to research the diseases transmitted to Europe have always failed primarily due to lack of interest by Academia and fear of a backlash by the Left, which has built it's whole worldview on the evils of Western culture.
Tehy are wrong as this shows.

GDP Revised Upward
Timothy Birdnow
Inquiring minds want to know why!
Third quarter GDP revised higherp
My suspicion is to steal credit from Trump when his economy grows bigger; they'll claim it was Biden's policies,not Trump's.

Any Government Shutdown is All Trump's Fault Says Media
Timothy Birdnow
This has to be the year's best article for Cognitive Dissonance and Trump Derangement! The title is a true work of art!
Trump threatens government shutdown unless debt limit demand met, blames Biden if it happens
Apparently the Christmas bonus Congress was giving to itself and the Democrats is kaput due to a rebellion in the ranks over the pork-laden spending spree negotiated by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
I've got news for the folks at ABC (who just paid out big bucks to Trump for defaming him):
1.Trump is not President and any "theats" he makes at this point are mere words.
2. If Trump "killed the spending bill" how did he do it? He has no vote. He is a private citizen at this point. All he could do is complain about it and ask House members to reject it.A
3. What Trump said was he did not want us to reach and surpass the debt limit. He warned we could slip into a recession if we do - and we shouldnt take the risk.
4. Trump is "putting the blame" on Biden they claim. Huh? He stated quite plainly he was FORCING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO DEAL WITH A FISCAL ISSUE DURING IT'S TENURE and not have it dumped on his incoming Administration. Biden has not and is not showing any sort of leadership here. It is his job, after all, and will be for a number of weeks to come.
5. A furlough of a couple of weeks for non-essential government workers (and if there are 'non essential' workers doesn't that suggest we don't need 'em in the first place?) is actually a nice Christmas gift for them. They will get back pay after the furlough.
5. Trump argues that a shutdown will be the Democrat's fault as they are the ones insisting on higher spending - and Biden will take the heat. He says:
"Shutdowns only inure to the person who's president," Trump said. "That's what I tried to teach [former House Speaker] Kevin McCarthy, but I obviously didn't do a very good job [with] a shutdown because he kept giving them extensions into my territory, a shutdown only hurts or inures to the person who happens to be president."
Well, who is threatening to shut the government down? Not the Republicans who are offering half a loaf anyway. So a shutdown is indeed the fault of the Democrats contrary to what ABC News believes.
BTW ABC isn't the only media outlet twisting a government shutdown to be Trump's fault. Here are a few headlines I found on a Google search:
Ap News - Government funding plan collapses as Trump makes new demands
Reuters - Trump rejects bipartisan US spending bill, raising government shutdown risk
CNN - GOP scraps government funding bill after Trump demands changes
Al Jazeera - Facing government shutdown, Trump and Republican allies scuttle Spending Bill
NBC News - Trump opposes funding bill, pushing government closer to a shutdown
Notice how each of these lays the blame for any shutdown squarely on Trump, and says nothing, nothing, not one blasted thing, about the Democrats unwillingness to compromise with this.
The Democrats are the ones shutting it all down.
More proof the media is hopelessly biased and at the same time gaslights Americans repeatedly.
This has to be the year's best article for Cognitive Dissonance and Trump Derangement! The title is a true work of art!
Trump threatens government shutdown unless debt limit demand met, blames Biden if it happens
Apparently the Christmas bonus Congress was giving to itself and the Democrats is kaput due to a rebellion in the ranks over the pork-laden spending spree negotiated by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
I've got news for the folks at ABC (who just paid out big bucks to Trump for defaming him):
1.Trump is not President and any "theats" he makes at this point are mere words.
2. If Trump "killed the spending bill" how did he do it? He has no vote. He is a private citizen at this point. All he could do is complain about it and ask House members to reject it.A
3. What Trump said was he did not want us to reach and surpass the debt limit. He warned we could slip into a recession if we do - and we shouldnt take the risk.

Buh-Bye Fani Pie!
Timothy Birdnow
And down goes Fani...
Fani Willis Disqualified From Trump Election Interference Case
The Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Willis on Thursday, stating:
"After carefully considering the trial court's findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office" over what the appeals court called "a significant appearance of impropriety,"
Willis and the Fulton County DA's office vow to appeal the ruling.
While this does not dismiss the case seems possible the removal of Willis will end the matter; it makes this an even great "hail Mary" pass then before. But who knows? No doubt the office is full of partisan hacks like the duaghter of the former Black Pantther and communis revolutionary herself. (Willis' father is John Clifford Floyd IIIormer live-in lover of the Communist revolutionary Angela Davis and former Black Panther revolutionary.)
It may be that anyone taking over for Willis will see the writing on the wall and won't be willing to sacrifice him or herself. Especially with such a weak case. But of course Willis will still be in the same office as these people and will assert undue pressure. She'll still be their boss after all. That is, if it stays in Fulton County. The question of who takes over the case, and whether it continues, will be decided by the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia. Georgia is run by Republicans.
Still, the case is unraveling and I suspect it may wind up being dismissed by a superior judge at some point.
In a way this could be BAD for Trump as Willis has been a terrible prosecutor, pulling all sorts of dirty tricks to get Trump. Maybe the next prosecutor won't be so easily tarred with prosecutorial malfeasance?
Time will tell.
The court did NOT toss out the indictments as the Trump defense team had requested.

Playing Footsie with the Deep State
Timothy Birdnow
It seems Trump hasn't learned his lesson. I know he's trying to play realpolitik but Woody Allen of American politics Mike Johnson is going to screw him royally if Trump doesn't smack the little weasel down a peg.
Trump Offers conditional Support to Mike Johnnson Spending Debacle
Trump wasn't sent to Washington to play footsie with these Deep State people.

Subject to the Jurisdiction
Timothy Birdnow
Why birthright citizenship is a lot of horsepoop.
The Constitution does not Grant Birthright Citizenship to the Children of Illegal aliens
What the media omits when discussing the 14th amendment is the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". You can't pass along citizenship to people who are subject to the jurisdiction of the countries to which they are citizens. Just showing up doesn't do it (nor does it grant that to tourists or foreign diplomats, etc.)
So Trump may well be able to end it by exectuvie order and it may stick if the Supreme Court does it's job (no sure thing with good old John Roberts at the helm and you never know with Coney-Barrett and Neil Gorsuch.
The sponsor of the 14th Amendment, Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan, had this to say about it at the time:
So if we adhere to original intent then birthright citizenship is illegal. Clearly Congress did not intend to use it as a way to award citizenship as a participation trophy.
Howard further explained what he meant by "subject to the jurisdiction":
Which means that you aren't a citizen if you come here while being subject to another nation. Case closed.

So if we adhere to original intent then birthright citizenship is illegal. Clearly Congress did not intend to use it as a way to award citizenship as a participation trophy.
Howard further explained what he meant by "subject to the jurisdiction":
"the word "jurisdiction,” as here employed, ought to be construed as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction on the part of the United States, coextensive in all respects with the constitutional power of the United States, whether exercised by Congress, by the executive, or by the judicial department; that is to say, the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now. Certainly, gentlemen cannot contend that an Indian belonging to a tribe, although born within the limits of a State, is subject to this full and complete jurisdiction."
Which means that you aren't a citizen if you come here while being subject to another nation. Case closed.

Opening the Gaetz of Hell
Timothy Birdnow
Matt Gaetz may get the last laugh after all.
Gaetz was run out of Congress and blacklisted by this own party for accusations made against him that never led to a prosecution. This no doubt happened to Gaetz because he led the charge to remove Kevin Mccarthy as Speaker and then went after Mike Johnson. This is nothing but payback. And, after refusing to release the ethics report on Gaetz the House (under Tiny Johnson) reversed course and now plans on airing the most lurid and dispicable accusations falsely made against the disruptive former Congressman.
Well, if they want a sexual armageddon...
The word is Gaetz may blow the whole stinking thing up. He had access to the information behind the decades-long program in Congress to pay off "bimbo eruptions" and he is threatening to go public with some of these.
Rep. Thomas Massie had floated the idea earlier of taking a page from Alvin Bragg and going after House members based on "hush money" as election tampering. I mean, if it's good enough for the Democrats to use on Trump why not use it on congressmen? But Massie let it drop; it was a bluff with him.
But Gaetz may well drop the big one here, and perhaps with a Trump-appointed AG we'll see prosecutions of RINO and Democrat congressional perverts based on the sword the Democrats handed to Trump.
As ye sow so shall ye reap!
I hate to see it come to this but if someone crosses the rubicon you must as well.
Anyway, I don't know what the report will say, but I suspect it's full of unverified accusations which the media will run with even where the report says it's unverified. It's purely to slime Gaetz to force him out of public life.
Payback is a bitch.

Climate Change Hurts the Poofters?
Timothy Birdnow
How many woke DEI subjects can you pack into one topic?
Same-sex couples more vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change – Williams Institute
I think these folks are trying to win some sort of prize for DEI stuffing!
It could just as easily be argued that a warming climate helps gay couples. For instance, many gay men are thinner than average and we all know fat is a great insulator (which is why Eskimoes tend to be beefy). So a warming world would favor the stick-thin homosexual.
The very same Williams Institute claims 60% of homosexuals in America live in the South or Midwest where it's warmer.
(BTW, an online survey done by PEW found 7% of the populaion worldwide identified as LGBTQ. Online surveys are worthless; they can be gamed very easily. And given the rather desperate nature of the gay community for acceptance I stronglysuspect we can cut that number in half at least, thus putting it under 4%, yet the way the media portrays it one would think a third of all Mankind is gay.)
I tried to find a correlation between gay and straight numbers based on climate throughout the world and was unable to come up with any correlation; it seems gay is gay. So how does "climate change" affect the LGBTQEIEIO community adversely when warmer weather does not seem to hold them back?
There is no definitive study on the matter and there should be. But I rather suspect MORE homosexuality occurrs in the warrmer climates. Cultures in the tropics seem far less judgmental about the matter than in the temperate zones. Of course that could simply be cultural and tied to Christianity, although Islam is equally intolerant of homosexuality and it comes from hot climates.
So this is just more happy horsepoo.
