USRAID (as in tax dollars)

imothy Birdnow

USAID was corrupt to it's very core:

USAID official plead guilty in bribery scheme involving $550M


Increasingly it appears the entire Federal government is nothing more than an enormous criminal enterprise. The Mafia can only salivate over what the government does to us regularly.

The Cult of Demon Crats

Here's an essay that hits the nail on the head:

Look no Further than Apocalyptic Cults

Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the "apocalyptic" part. This is what they are best known for -- the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas.

The cults preach that the only way to "escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader's teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.”

Gastupid Walz

Timothy Birdnow

Gestapit already you dimwits!

Tampon Tim Walz Compares ICE Agents to ‘Modern Day Gestapo’ (VIDEO)

I doubt this pinhead has the foggiest idea what a Nazi is. He clearly doesn't understand it comes out of HIS philosophical pursuasion and not from the right. He apparently doesn't know this is HIS way of operating, not ours.

I weary of every and any oppositio to these simpletons being mischaracterized as Naziism. It is a ridiculous and wholly indefensible shibboleth of the nastiest sort.

BTW the Bolsheviks had a slogan in the thirties "first brown then red"; they saw Fascism as a transitional stage between capitalism and marxism. They rightly understood it was a leftist movement, one in competition with their own but one of their own. Once the war started they suddenly discovered it was "right wing" and began calling naziism and fascism right wing and the media and academia aided them in this gaslighting. I don't know if Walz is really this stupid or if he's just a liar, but it's wellpast time we made it plain THEY are the Nazis and Fascists, not us.

Perhaps he has forgotten the use of the FBI to go after Biden's politcal enemies? That was REAL Gestapo tactics. We are sending ICE to arrest criminals who openly violate laws that are on the books. Who is the Nazi?

In honor of Tampon Tim I recycle this:

Walzing with Timbo

There once was a cackling shag girl
who really was a ding-a-long
Swept off her feet and she went to D.C.
and she hid in her room
as she waited for the old man's fall
then she'll go a Walzing with Timbo you'll see

Walzing with Timbo
walzing with Timbo
She'll go a Walzing with Tim in D.C.
as she cackled and schemed and always managed to be
wrong
Oh she'll go a Waltzing with Timbo, you'll see!

So Joe Biden just gave up and he said that soon he
would be gone
Kam hustled quick so she'd be the nominee
and the word salads flew as Joe Biden she denied she
knew
She'll go a Walzing with Tim in D.C.

She denied she was the Border Czar, lied that she was tough on crime
wanted us to go to war while taking our last dime
But we all still remember that she made sure crooks
served no time
Now she wants to Walz with Timbo in D.C.
As the Trump-et shot it flew and her new v.p. has not a
clue she picked a hard leftist 'cause a Jew wasn't right
and she jumped into the deep end and hid a record she
could not defend
Oh she'll go a Walzing with Tim in D.C.

Walzing with Timbo
walzing with Timbo
She'll go a Walzing with Tim in D.C.
And her cackle may be heard with a salad full of many
words
She'll go a Walzing with Timbo you'll see

And her ghost won't be found as she'll campaign deep
from underground
She'll go a Walzing with Tim in D.C.

FED up

Timothy Birdnow

The real reason is because they don't want Trump to succeed. They are kicking the can down the road so as to keep the economy just simmering until it's too late for Trump to get any credit.

When Will The Fed Cut Interest Rates?

FTA:

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirm that the Federal Reserve has made a lot of progress on inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew 2.3 percent over the past year. It has grown at an annualized rate of just 1.6 percent over the past three months. Despite this progress, however, Fed officials voted to hold the federal funds rate target range at 4.25 to 4.5 percent last week.

When will the Fed begin cutting interest rates — and how far will rates fall this year? The short answers are "not soon” and "not much.”

The Fed is currently in a holding pattern, awaiting further clarity on the fallout from President Trump’s trade war. On the one hand, lower inflation readings would seem to warrant a lower interest rate target. Recall that the real (inflation-adjusted) federal funds rate target is equal to the nominal target set by the Fed minus expected inflation.

To the extent that they coincide with lower inflation expectations, lower inflation readings result in a passive tightening of monetary policy as they push the real federal funds rate target up. To prevent policy from tightening further in the face of falling inflation, the Fed must lower its federal funds rate target.

On the other hand, Fed officials are worried that higher tariff rates introduced by the Trump administration might unanchor inflation expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell summarized the anticipated effects of higher tariff rates at the post-meeting press conference last week:

If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment. The effects on inflation could be short-lived, reflecting a one-time shift in the price level. It is also possible that the inflationary effects could instead be more persistent. Avoiding that outcome will depend on the size of the tariff effects, on how long it takes for them to pass through fully into prices, and ultimately on keeping longer term inflation expectations well-anchored.

Powell made it clear that the Fed’s "obligation is to keep longer term inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one-time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem.”

The tariffs are, in effect, an adverse supply shock, similar to the adverse supply shock caused by COVID-19 in 2020. The Fed could not prevent the disease from spreading or rescind stay-at-home orders in 2020. It cannot repair supply chains disrupted by higher tariff rates today. The best it can do is look through the adverse supply shock and keep nominal spending on a stable trajectory. Its failure to do this beginning in 2021 resulted in above-target inflation. The Fed does not want to repeat that mistake.

Here’s the problem: although disinflation warrants reducing the federal funds rate target, that move could be misconstrued as an attempt to offset the decline in economic growth associated with the higher tariff rates. If the public expects the Fed to deliver an expansionary monetary policy in response to the adverse supply shock, inflation expectations will rise and potentially become unanchored. To avoid that, the Fed is holding its federal funds rate target steady for now and assuring the public that it will not attempt to offset a tariff-induced contraction.

Remember, this is the same Fed that told us under Biden inflation was purely a temporary thing and prices would go back down. Remember that? Powell was right there making that claim. In fact Powell has been wrong on just about every issue throughout his tenure of office at the Fed. But now we are supposed to belie he's right on this, yes sir!

That he has been feuding with Trump has nothing to do with his slothful slowness.(Sheesh!)

"For the time being,” Powell said last week, the Fed is "well positioned to wait for greater clarity before considering any adjustments to our policy stance.”

How much "greater clarity" does the fool need? In April, inflation as measured by the consumer price index rose at an annual rate of 2.3%, down from 2.4% in March and below forecasts. In fact it was the biggest drop since the start of the pandemic.That means there is no reason to keep interest rates up. All that does is stifle economic growth, and Powell knows it.

The big difference between this and other periods of inflation is that we have actually done a major tax increase that hits other countries and not just our own citizens. We are taking in vast sums of cash via the tariffs, and at the same time we are drawing whole industries back to the United states. Yes, we still have inflation, but the Fed does not need to bump the money supply to cover the costs so much. Spending is still way too high and won't come down much; much of it was hard-wired in from the Biden era and courts won't let Trump just suspend it. But now we have money coming in to cover it, money that is not directly taken from the pockets of the working class and middle class.

I reiterate; this is only Powell's way of screwing over Trump by screwing over the American People. It's much like what Nicholas Biddle did to America when Andrew Jackson wanted to disband the Bank of the United States. Biddle raised interest rates to strangle the economy. Powell appears to be doing much the same.

Warren Harding raised tariffs on many goods with the Emergency Tariff of 1921, especially on farm products. It was formalized a year later by Congress with the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act. We know what happened - the greatest boom in American history. While I do not credit the tariffs with CREATING the boom (Keynsians try to claim it was the government spending to build a national highway system but I think that's balderdash) I point out the tariffs in no way hurt the economy. Much is made of the much-later Smooth-Hawley in the 30's but there was a lot more going wrong in the economy then than the tariffs. A big part of it was the Federal Reserve cut the money supply by over a quarter and it froze borrowing.

I would further point out that most modern Presidents have imposed new tariffs (if not to the extent as Trump is doing). Ronald Reagan, the free trader, imposed his Proclamation 5601, large tariffs on European goods and services. He also imposed heavy tariffs on Japanese goods, as well as Chinese steel and aluminum. Reagan often spoke against tariffs but when push came to shove he actually imposed them - and the economy roared under the Gipper. No inflation.

Bill Clinton imposed a 100% tariff on European goods while he was President and the ecomomy did fine. No inflation.

Both Bush's and Obama all imposed tariffs at some point in their Presidencies and it could not be tied to either inflation or economic malaise.

On the flip side of all this we had Jimmy Carter, who was a big believer in cutting tariffs. We had stagflation and malaise under Carter's tutelage.

Again, I am not saying tariffs are some sort of catchall fix. But I am saying they certainly do not justify the actions of the Federal Reserve at this point in time. While Powell is a keynsian dufus, I suspect he knows the history here. Or he should.

These are powerful, transformative times. We have a Federal Reserve that is still operating on the thoroughly debunked theories of John Maynard Keynes and Great Depression thinking (and that depression was only GREAT because the fix was more of what caused it in the first place). And we have the Ruling Class desperately clinging to their power and their world government ambitions. Jerome Powell is one of them.

Told Ya So!

Timothy Birdnow

The communist Van Jones is admitting the Democrats really screwed up in covering for Joe Biden's dementia.

I said way back when that the Republicans should have gotten on this and rode it for all it was worth before the election. It was crystal clear Biden was losing it, had actually lost it. The Hur report said as much, making the claim Biden shouldn't be prosecuted because he was senile. I said at the time that if everyone fully understood that they would be angry because they had been openly lied to. Americans can be spun, even lied to with a certain amount of plausible deniability (they thought it cute when Clinton did it for instance, but his lies were always parsed and lawyerly logic-benders.) This was an open, overt lie to the public and it insulted everyone's intelligence. I said back then the GOP could ride that thing to victory. Now van Jones, a radical leftist Democrat, is admitting this lie is going to haunt them for many years to come.

It's fun to be right!

The Finger of Pfizer

Timothy Birdnow

House Rep. Jim Jordan is opening an investigation to ascertain if Pfizer tampered with the 2020 elections by withholding positive testing data until after the election to hurt Donald Trump.

Good.

Trump is the one who FUNDED their research and yet they no doubt believed they would make out better under Joe Biden. So they bit off the hand that fed them. They should have to explain why they waited until just days after the election to make their big announcement.

The race was so close that may well have flipped the election to Trump.

From the article:

"The inquiry follows reporting from The Wall Street Journal indicating federal prosecutors are reviewing statements made by Dormitzer during his current employment at Pfizer rival GSK.

According to GSK, Dormitzer allegedly told colleagues in late 2024 that Pfizer intentionally delayed the release of successful trial results until after the November 2020 election.

GSK stated that Dormitzer, visibly distressed, visited the company’s human resources department shortly after the 2024 election to request a transfer to Canada.

He allegedly voiced concerns that a second Trump administration might investigate his role in the timing of Pfizer’s vaccine announcement.

Which means he knows there is a trail connecting him to the timing of the announcement. These are the actions of a guilty man.

The article continues:

Dormitzer reportedly told coworkers that the decision to delay results was not a coincidence and that Pfizer’s top three research and development executives were involved in slowing clinical testing to ensure that data would not be finalized before the election.

He reportedly clarified that the delay was related to trial progress, not suppression of completed findings.

Pfizer has not publicly responded to the claims. Dormitzer denies making the statements attributed to him.

Uh,sure it was!

The Deep State was desperate to get rid of Trump, and no doubt this Dormitzer fellow figured he needed to be on "the right side of history" and not help a guy who wanted to dismantle the post-WWII order. It was a good gamble, because the people who have been in power worldwide have remained there throughout everything - the end of the Cold War, the Reagan revolution, etc. And they had the money and would blackball anyone who didn't show fealty to them. As talk show host Jesse Kelly points out, there is a kind of membership card you have to have to succeed in the U.S. and internationally. To have the card you have to say the right things, do the right things, prove your allegiance to the social and political order. That's why when something like the transgender movement starts everyone falls over each-other to promote it; they know this is what is expected of them and if they don't get on board their membership cards will be revoked and they will wind up living in the MIDWEST somewhere working for some second rate company and never return to the seats of powwer and privilege. So they back the Ruling Class every time.

So naturally this guy figured this was what was expected of him to keep his membership card. He never dreamed Trump would return. It was the safer bet, but he lost.

And now Jim Jordan is going to investgate and this guy ran away to Canada. The coup against the king failed and we all know what that entails.

It is right and proper for Congress to investigate this and if any laws were broken the guilty parties need to be punished. The Deep State has always punished those who oppose THEM, after all, which is why a guy like this would do such a thing in the first place. We have to make OUR punishments as much to be feared as theirs.

At any rate the Bible says everything hidden will become known. It's time we knew about the dirty dealings that went with that 2020 election.

Muerte a Los Gringos

Timothy Birdnow

They always admonish Americans not to drink the water in Mexico. Now I suppose we can't eat the tacos either...

Three U.S. State Department Advisors Gunned Down at Taco Stand in Mexico

And the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that Donald Trump can't use the Foreign Enemies Act to remove invading aliens. Odd; this illustrates plainly there is a guerilla war being waged on the U.S. by the Cartels down in Mexico. These advisers were foolish in not acting as if they were in a war zone, which they were.

I wonder; was the stand named muerte a los gringos? Maybe that should have tipped them off.

These are not murder victims; they are fallen heroes in an undeclared war. They should be afforded military honors.

A New Palestine

Timothy Birdnow

Rumor has it President Trump may be working on a deal to ship the so-called Palestinians aka terrorists to be resettled in Lybya. Not the worst idea but not the best either.

You would still have them all together and they have proven themselves to be a very bad mix. Libya had already been a hotbed for jihad, and bringingin the Palestinians won't improve the situation. We may just be moving terrorists to new digs.

Maybe instead of annexing Greenland we can turn it into the new Palestine? I'm sure they wouldn't be so eager to blow stuff up in 40 below weather.

Then there is South Georgia Island. This large sub-Antarctic island is entirely habitable but unoccupied because in bygone days it was too far from civilization. Now it's now. The only reason it's not inhabited now is the British government appeases the environmentalist wackos and keeps it in a "pristine" state, going so far as to exterminating the reindeer population that had been imported by a previous colonization proect. The island is certainly big enough - 1,450 square miles (about half the size of the West Bank and Gaza, but it should be able to accomodate the population easily enough.)

We need a more creative solution. Moving them to another terrorist hellhole in the region is a bad idea. Hey, Australia seems to love them these days and it's a hot desert continent...

Biden has Prostate Cancer

Timothy Birdnow

This is sad, even if I have no love for Joe Biden. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Joe Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer

The man is already sick and demented. He will end his days in suffering, I fear. Let's all say a prayer or two for him.

I do wonder if all the Covid shots Biden received had something to do with it.

Kabuki Theatre Law

Timothy Birdnow

Conservative Court my a, er, foot!

US Supreme Court blocks the Trump administration’s use of Alien Enemies Act

SCOTUS ruled in an unsigned decision (cowards) by a whopping 7 to 2 margin that Trump must have hearings and trials for each and every one of the probably 30 MILLION illegal aliens he seeks to deport.

I must ask, why is the Court now demanding an impossible legal burden on the directing of foreign policy by the President of the United States? They have ruled in the past that this is outside of the scope of the Coourt. Remember, these are NOT American citizens, nor do they play them on t.v. (well, maybe they do the latter). As such they do not have the right to access the legal system as do citizens. Their rights are limited.

Let me ask; did the Court rule this way against Harry Truman when he evicted 2 million, or against Dwight Eisenhower when he evicted three? Did they demand hearings for everyone deproted under Barack Hussein Obama?

Were there legal precedents restraining the deportation of Irish back in the 19th century?

This ruling is legally novel and not at all rooted in American law or American tradition.

In 2023 this same court affirmed that Joe Biden had final authority over immigration and enforcement when conservatives sued to make him enforce the laws on the books. In fact SCOTUS said they had no authority to restrain him. So why have they changed now?

Only Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito dissented.

What can you say about the rest? I have never trusted any of them; I openly opposed John Roberts as a Deep Stater when he was elevated, and I knew the three Trump appointees were also deep from the bowels of the Progressive insiders club. Coney-Barrett has proven herself to be one of the good old boys club, and the Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch always worried me. Now we know; they are all clones, Ruling Class stooges. Sadly these stooges aren't so funny. I prefer Moe, Larry, and Curly.

The Court gave Trump a couple of wins earlier in the year, and so I figured they would pull the big shaft on him.

From the Al Jazeera article:

The justices asserted that they had a right to weigh in on the case, in order to prevent "irreparable harm” to the migrants and assert their jurisdiction in the case. Otherwise, they pointed out a deportation could put the migrants beyond their reach.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh went a step further in a separate opinion, calling on the Supreme Court to issue a final and binding ruling in the matter, rather than simply grant this one petition.

"The circumstances call for a prompt and final resolution, which likely can be provided only by this Court,” he said, agreeing with the majority’s decision.

Thomas and Alito, in their dissent, argued the Supreme Court had not afforded enough time to a lower court to rule on the emergency petition.

Granted, this is still only a temporary injunction and the Court may eventually rule in Trump's favor but when?

This makes me very, very suspicious; it kicks the can down the road, probably until after the mid-term elections. That way the Republicans don't get the benefit of having evicted all these people as they promised and the media will say Trump broke his vow. If they ruled on it now many of these illegals would be gone and Trump could say "mission accomplished". Also, many of these illegals are going to vote in the next election despite it being illegal. You know that is true.

I've long argued our governmental system is rigged in such a way as to keep politics balanced on a knife-edge. The reason is it empowers those in power; nobody dares kick out the Ruling Class because otherwise the opposition gets into power. We are seeing that now with that rotten little punk David Hogg who is being forced out by the Democrats for challenging the status quo. I get it; I'd kick him out too were I they. But the point is he was trying to radicalize the party and they know that would be a mistake. They've long operated on this principle of being in power but not by too much lest it galvanize the enemy.

Sun Tzu put it thusly; the general should always leave a Golden Bridge of Retreat lest the enemy fight to the death. So the key to the Ruoling Class staying in power is to keep the fight really close but the left always winning, especially with their policy initiatives. And that has been the pattern all my life; Democrats are the aggressors and Republicans try to hide and hope they can survive the onslaught. Guys like John Thune or Mitch McConnell (or in this case John Roberts) will talk a good game and use the closeness of the political process to keep the voters on their sides while actively working against our wishes.

I think this shows SCOTUS is a Deep State entity.

So why did Trump's appointments wind up sucking? Because he listened to the Federalist Society, which is more Libertarian than anything. Many of it's members call themselves moderates. It's increasingly obvious they were giving Trump some very bad advice.

At any rate his picks have all betrayed America at some point. The two true conservatives left on the Court remain ever faithful, but they are outnumbered by the ambitious Deep State scoundrels, alas.

Trump is right; he cannot give 30 MILLION people court hearings, and he can't hold them for years awaiting those hearings. This was why 'catch and release' was started in the first place; the courts ruled they couldn't hold these people indefinitely but they also couldn't kick them out of the country. So Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and Barrett and Roberts have simply reinstated catch and release with this ruling.

Trump needs to house the worst of these people he's trying to evict next door to every Justice who joined in with this ruling. Make them live with the consequences of their actions. He can buy those houses that surround the Justices homes and make them group-living centers for illegals. Then those jerks would get a taste of what so many Americans have had to endure.

Again, this is a novel legal theory they have embraced and it really should not be obeyed.

BTW the American Civil Liberties Union filed the original complaint; I'd like to know how they have standing in this case? whenever our side files such lawsuits they are always denied based on standing but when leftists with no actual connection to the case file the courts bend over backwards to allow it.

We live in a kabuki theatre.

Soros Behind the Boer Genocide

Timothy Birdnow

This is interesting; it seems our old friend George soros had a big hand in the growing hostility and genocide against South Africa's white farmers (Boers, or Afrikaaners).

Yes, it seems Soros' Open Society helped fund and foment the farm attacks.

I'm not surprised. This is why the Left blew a gasket when Trump granted asylum to 59 terrorized farmers.

Bratt Takes the Fifth (and not the Whiskey Kind)

Timothy Birdnow

The noose is tightening around the throat of former Trump special prosecutor Jack Smith.

NEW: AP reporting that House Judiciary Committee interviewed Jay Bratt, former top DOJ official and Jack Smith's lead thug in classified docs case, on Wednesday. Bratt repeatedly invoked Fifth Amendment

It was the Bratty one who pushed the Mar-a-Lago raid over objections from FBI agents and others. He also has been accused of abusing his authority to extort false testimony against President Trump.

Bratt was wise to invoke the fifth; he would have either have to incriminate himself or perjur himself.

At any rate the crimes continue to creep up the ladder and I suspect soon Mr. Smith will feature promiently in them. I hope so; I have little doubt Smith broke laws in his witch hunt to take out Trump.

Nail, Nail, the Gang Green's All Here!

This from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:

Everything Looks Like a Nail

Hansen acknowledges that recent warming was caused by a reduction in clouds, then tries to blame it on the burning of fossil fuels. When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

CloudFeedback.13May2025.pdf

The only thing which could have caused recent high sea surface temperatures is a reduction in clouds. There is no physical mechanism for carbon dioxide to rapidly warm water.

What's in a Number?

Timothy Birdnow

Just a word on the phrase that has everyone all abuzz about James Comey.

The term "86" came from the hospitality industry and it meant to dump or discard. AT first (some time during the '30's) it was a term for out of stock, but later it became a verb for uneaten portions that would be thrown out. From there the term was applied to unruly or otherwise trouble-making customers being ejected from the restaurant.

But a dictionary of slang has this to say:

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, "to 86" also means " to kill, to murder; to execute judicially ," likely referring to the size of a standard grave being 2.5 feet wide by 8 feet long and 6 feet deep.

I've also found it said that the term comes out of the Korean war where the F-86 Sabre fighter jet would shoot down an enemy aircraft. It "86'd" them.

The phrase also may have begun at a Prohibition-era bar in New York where unruly patrons were tossed out through the door at 86 Barrow Street.

I would add this is not at all a new use of the phrase. I direct you to the 1987 film Angel Heart starring Mickey Roarke where Roarke is being interviewed by the Ne Orleans police about a dead musician " He was into voodoo, they 86 one another two a week." The film was set in the late forties, I might add. Not sure how much research went into that phrase, but I suspect they got it right.


Much like the Devil having many names the phrase has many meanings - and origins.

The phrase is rather like the term "5-oh" for cops; that has nothing to do with anything but a television show about police in Hawaii, but it's now urban slang for all police.

Whatever it's origin I would make two conclusions:

1.In the end the ambiguity of the phrase protects Comey from prosecution - which he undoubtedly understood at the time and

2.Comey knew damned good and well what he was saying and what the implications were. He was FBI Director, after all, and studied crime extensively - and criminals.

One can argue, given Comey's witch hunt to take out Trump, that he was signaling to his compadres to set an assassination effort in motion. I doubt it but it certainly can be and should be looked at.

Why? If nothing else we need to have mutual assured destruction and the Left has waged an assymetric war for decades now against us and we never respond. Comey himself was part of the plot to take Trump out. So there is reason to suspect him of plotting further "for the good of the country" but even if we think what he did was innocent (and if so why did he take it down?) he still deserves the measure of what he gave Trump. The Left often uses lawfare as punishment; they don't care about getting a conviction (the cherry on top) so much as draining the target financially and emotionally and every other way. So Comey deserves a touch of that. If the Left sees that happen enough they will stop pulling it themselves.

Mutual Assured Destruction.

Make Comey speak to the FBI just like he made others, and if there are any inconsistencies charge him with lying to them. He did it plenty. Put him on the witness stand before congress, before a grand jury, etc. and make him fear a perjury trap. Make him spend money defending himself. It's not unfair or wrong; he did this to others on many occasions.

What of Christian forgiveness, one asks. I reply with "what of justice". Comey cheated justice and this is just what he deserves. We needn't hate the man but he should answer for his crimes, just as Al Capone went to Alcatraz for a mickey-mouse crime of tax evasion. Capone went to prison not for his REAL crimes, but for what they could get him on. That is where we are with these Deep State guys like Comey.

If we make an example of him and some others than they will get the message; don't go there!

And by pressuring him we are shaking the tree, and who knows what fruit will fall to the ground? What has Comey hidden away? Who else can be exposed for REAL crimes?

Much like the harlot of Revelation, Comey has poured the wine of corruption and now must drink a bowl. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Federal Judge Tosses Military Border Crossing Charges

Timothy Birdnow

A federal judge hs dismissed most arrests in the Federal zone along the border with Mexico in yet another brazen effort to thwart the President's efforts to Make America Safe Again.

The order from a federal magistrate judge, Gregory B. Wormuth, added to the confusion and legal turmoil that have gripped New Mexico in the month since President Trump declared a ribbon of land along the 180-mile length of the state’s southern border to be an Army base.
Around 400 migrants had been charged with willfully violating security regulations — misdemeanor charges that can carry up to a year in jail. The arrests, which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was praising just last Friday, had swamped local jails and every day brought dozens of shackled migrants into a federal courtroom to face the novel charges.
"When you cross illegally, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Mr. Hegseth said in a social-media message.
But Judge Wormuth, a former federal prosecutor, said the federal government had failed to show that the migrants actually knew they were unlawfully entering a restricted military area. He has dismissed charges against 98 migrants so far as he works through the docket.
"The United States provides no facts from which one could reasonably conclude that the Defendant knew he was entering” the New Mexico National Defense Area, the newly declared military installation, Judge Wormuth ruled.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, the old saying goes, and these people KNEW they were committing a crime just by crossing the border without going through the proper entry points. This is utter bullshit from this judge.

I would point out that many people have been charged over the years with trespassing on military land, often on snowmobiles, and have actually gone to prison for doing so. They had no way of knowing they were tespassing at the time, but that was no excuse, the courts have said repeatedly. But if you are an illegal alien in the process of committing a crime anyway you get a free pass, apparently.

Something must be done to rein in this out-of-control judiciary.

Less Illegals = Less Murder

Timothy Birdnow

I guess it's the sanctuary city status that has all the good illegal aliens flocking to Denver that is quelling all the murders then?

Newly Released Report Says Homicides Dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025

DENVER (KDVR) — Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association . It's a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.

Why do I think Denver still won't end their fondness for illegal aliens and their desire to harbor them?

The Dog Whistler

Timothy Birdnow

Remember James Comey? He is now openly calling for Trump to be assassinated,posting on Instagram "86 47". 86 means kill or murder of course and Trump is the 47th President of the United States.

Kash Patel is opening an investigation into this; it is a crime to threaten to kill the President of the United States. And while this would probably be a harmless blowing off of steam for some average Joe and thus not investigated, a man of Comey's stature and connections and his open hatred of Donald Trump makes one suspect he was passing along an order to terminate with prejudice. Comey had been the Director of the FBI and was sacked by President Trump for plotting against him.

We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.

— FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) May 15, 2025


The medi and Democrats take every thing Donald Trump says as a "dog whistle" so why should we not take what Comey said as anything but? Sounds to me like he's putting out the call to would-be assassins. And don't forget this guy was Director of the FBI; he knows the dangers of loose lips. I doubt Comey says anything that he doesn't intend.

We either have to say Comey is evil or stupid. He's playing for stupid now, saying he had no idea what 86 47 meant. I seriously doubt that. You don't get where he was by being stupid. That makes him evil.

United States Code Title 18, Section 871 makes it a felony to threaten the President of the United States. It makes "Any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm" a crime punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines.

The big problem is that it will have to be proven Comey KNOWINGLY did this. He is claiming ignorance of the meaning of "86" naturally (he's been a lawyer all his life and knows the statute.)

So he'll probably walk on this, but since he wanted to go back into the fray Mrs. Patel and Bourngino may well start looking deep into Mr. Comey's affairs - and I suspect there are a few skeletal remains in there.

Maybe this guy is just stupid after all.

Just James Comey causally calling for my dad to be murdered.

Good News on the Home Front

Timothy Birdnow

I got good news yesterday; my wife's surgeon FINALLY lifted positioning restrictions on her. She has been bed-ridden at 30* or less for nine full weeks now! As of yesterday that is over.

That means physical therapy can start doing real work with her. She will be getting out of bed and they can start teaching her to walk again.

Poor Cathy has suffered terribly through this and it isn't over; she still has a wicked infection in her nether region, for instance, but it's getting better. She is still on a feeding tube and will remain so for months more at a minimum. But at least she is able to sit up - she'll be able to eat by mouth again to a greater degree.

So yesterday was a banner day!

On the flip side my 94 year old father was taking out his trash (he lives alone) and fell flat on his face on the concrete porch. Broke his nose and busted his face up. My brother tells me he looks like a club fighter who lost and badly. Brian took him to an urgent care facility and they x-rayed him and said his bones were fine. They didn't recommend an MrI so he's just got to recover as best as he can.

He's obstinate and won't wear the life alert I got him. So when he fell he was unable to get back in the house. He had to crawl on his belly until he got inside. I'm hoping this will teach him to keep the thing on him.

At any rate he's fine, if a bit worse for wear. So all is as right with the world as is possible these days.

Thank you all for your prayers and concern!

Identity Theft and the Mark of the Beast

Timothy Birdnow

I had to spend a trillion bucks and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!

$1 trillion of pandemic relief was lost to fraud, and nearly every American's personal data is for sale online: '60 Minutes'
Blaze News


How much you want to bet this mostly wound up back in Democrat coffers? How much of that billion bucks Kamala spent came from this?

Much of the problem stems from identity theft and foreign actors using stolen identities to obtain disaster relief funds.

I know I'm sounding apocalyptical these days, but it does make one wonder; all this identity theft via the worldwide web is going to force the government into a drastic solution. There will wind up having to be some sort of identifying marker placed on the individual so they can legally verify who they are. A QR code on hand or forehead (invisible except to a scanner, of course) would allow people to prove they are who they claim to be, and anyone without such a code would by necessity be forced out of the legitimate commercial market. For a time a black market would thrive but it would eventually be squashed (government doesn't get it's cut). The Book of Revelations is quite clear "No one should be able to buy or sell unless he bears the mark of the name of the Beast or the number of its name." That would essentially be a death sentence in modern times for those who refuse to take the mark since all commerce will be conducted with computers in some fashion - even in brick and mortar stores. But receiving the mark will be an eternal death sentence - damnation. So many will die and suffer for it.

But I see no way to stop it. And it's all going to be in the interest of stopping computer hacking and identity theft.

That is why I believe the Second Coming will be followed by an EMP that will take out the entire electric grid.

Matthew 24:29 states:

"The sun will become dark, and the moon will no longer shine. The stars will fall, and the powers in the sky will be shaken "

Which could be from smoke from the war blotting out natural light. But you will notice there is no suggestion of artificial light either.

In fact the Roman Catholic Church has always argued there would be three days of darkness following Armageddon, and artificial light won't work. What does that sound like?

Of course if Jesus returns with an EMP then the whole corrupt system of things will break down - all the computers will die.

Matthew 24:27

"For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."

Such lightning would take out our power. We've seen this before.

At any rate the coming of AI presents an existential threat to the human soul itself and I am of a mind to believe God won't tolerate that for long. We are trying to create a false god to supercede Him.

At any rate I suppose I've preached enough now. Suffice it to say this case of stolen identity to steal taxpayer funds is probably just the tip of the iceberg in terms of identity theft and no society will long tolerate such things. Actions are coming and those actions almost certainly will put some variation of the Mark into practice. Maybe not fully as yet,but the time is fast approaching. Be warned.
