Morning all! Thank, lysie.
That black culture statue is as insulting a thing I’ve ever seen. My goodness....they may as well have it swinging from a tree limb. Awful.
Good morning, Rusty. Thanks . I will.
Good morning, lysie!
What a way to start the day—all good things, especially BACON!
Thank you!
Enjoy the warm weather!
They say it’s going to be a little bit warm up our way, but I’ll believe it when I feel it. Yesterday could easily have snowed! It was downright freezing!
And this is only the ones we intercepted:

Democrats are warning GOP voters today that we are really going to miss Liz Cheney! Like we miss Bob Corker and Jeff Flake?
BREAKING: Emergency Motion Filed for Release of Cancer Patient Who Contracted COVID While Being Held in Jail Over Capitol Protest — Life Seriously at Risk
Worrell has been held for over two months after firing pepper spray during the chaos on January 6, which he says was aimed at people who he believed to be Antifa that were targeting police.
Worrell has been denied bail since March 12 — and has been shipped around from Florida, to Oklahoma, to Virginia, and now finally DC. He has been subjected to horrific conditions including a lack of water for sometimes up to seven hours and contracted COVID on top of his non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer.
The proud and patriotic American is now severely at risk of dying from COVID or metastasizing cancer advancing while being denied bail.
His doctor, Dr. Bino Rucker, M.D., signed an affidavit that was included with the motion saying that “[c]ontinuing confinement at the federal detention center presents a substantial risk of serious infection to Mr. Worrell and his transfer to home confinement would significantly decrease the risk to his health in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
The jail has been denying Worrell the medications prescribed by Dr. Rucker.
Following the Stop the Steal rally, Worrell followed the crowd of thousands of people to Capitol Hill to protest. The situation was peaceful at first, but escalated when people began to push against the police barriers to get into the Capitol building.
Worrell never entered the building.
In videos he recorded on the scene, Worrell can repeatedly be heard calling for peace. One of the clips from his phone captures him telling an officer that he was “not coming through,” when he accidentally bumped into a barricade trying to back away from the situation.
During the chaos, Worrell saw people that he believed to be Antifa pushing towards the police. He maintains that he discharged his pepper spray towards the people he believed to be leftist agitators, to protect the officers. The government claims that he was trying to spray the police, but have not offered any evidence to back this up. Eventually, they conceded that the government “do[es] not currently know with certainty the target at which Worrell was spraying.”
The government has not offered any victim who was harmed or sustained injuries by the pepper spray.
When his lawyers expressed their concern to the judge about his treatment on April 6, Chief Judge Howell argued that Worrell’s concerns about COVID are “disingenuous” because there were no photos submitted of him wearing a mask.
In an emergency filing last month, Worrell’s lawyer John Pierce argued that the Fifth Amendment protects the right of pretrial detainees to receive adequate medical care and to be free from pre-conviction punishment.
Pierce noted that the Due Process Clause mandates release because the pandemic presents a grave harm outweighing the government’s interest in confinement.
20 Governors Send Letter To Biden Rejecting Plan To House Illegals In Their States:
The mess at the southern border is completely of Biden’s making, but he expects states to help him out by taking illegals as new residents.
Recently, twenty governors sent a letter to Biden saying, thanks but no thanks.
These state leaders realize that their first responsibility is to the American citizens who live in their states.
CNS News reports:
20 Governors Tell Biden His Plan to House Illegal Immigrants in Their States Is ‘Unacceptable and Unsustainable’
“We call on you to take action on the crisis at the southern border immediately. Contrary to statements from your Administration, the border is neither closed nor secure,” governors of 20 U.S. states told President Joe Biden in a letter Tuesday.
“We have neither the resources nor the obligation to solve the federal government’s problem and foot the bill for the consequences of this Administration’s misguided actions,” the governors tell Biden, rejecting his administration’s efforts to house the overflow of illegal immigrants in their states.
Biden’s plan is both “unacceptable and unsustainable,” the governors say:
“The crisis is too big to ignore and is now spilling over the border states into all of our states. Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services called upon many of our states to identify potential housing locations for migrants. In addition, the Department circumvented our states altogether by asking private organizations and nonprofits to house unaccompanied migrant children. Often these facilities lack adequate security.
“Allowing the federal government to place a potentially unlimited number of unaccompanied migrant children into our states’ facilities for an unspecified length of time with almost zero transparency is unacceptable and unsustainable.
🤣😂
Officials at the ME’s office told the Journal they’re having trouble tracking down relatives of about 230 deceased. When next of kin have been contacted, officials said most bodies haven’t been collected because of financial reasons, the Journal reported.
This is sad.
Political prisoners. We are no better than the USSR or the CCP.
Not only the CIA, but the DOJ and the FBI have to be broken into a thousand pieces......
We needed 8 straight years of Trump followed by 8 straight years of DeSantis (or similar) to make a dent in the corrupt government swamp.

I don’t believe anything the Biden administration or the media is saying about why the pipeline is down.
- and I especially don’t believe anything the corrupt, lying FBI says.
All these people do is lie, lie, lie.

Judge orders IRS to reveal if it criminally investigated Clinton Foundation, citing records ‘gap’
Tax court refuses to dismiss whistleblowers’ case involving famous political family charity, remands case back to agency to fill in blanks.

A U.S. Tax Court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to reveal if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation, directing the agency to cure a mysterious “gap” in its records in the case.
Most of the proceedings in the case involving the Clinton Foundation and the whistleblowers Lawrence W. Doyle and John F. Moynihan have been sealed, but U.S. Tax Court Judge David Gustafson authorized the release of an April 22 ruling to Just the News this week.
In it, Gustafson remanded the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office (WO), saying the agency’s claim there was no criminal investigation against the Clinton Foundation “was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion.”
“The WO must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners’ information and collected proceeds,” the judge ruled. “… It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap.”
While ordering the IRS to reveal whether the Clinton Foundation was criminally investigated, the judge declined the whistleblowers’ request to take an Arkansas state official’s deposition or compel discovery in the case, saying such actions were “outside the scope of proper discovery.”
“Petitioners evidently look forward to a trial in which they hope to prove wrongdoing and tax evasion by the target entities and to prove dereliction of duty by the IRS,” he added. “There will be no such trial in this case.”
Gustafson’s ruling, nonetheless, adds a new chapter of intrigue in a case that first surfaced three years ago when Doyle and Moynihan, two respected forensic financial investigators, revealed the existence of their IRS whistleblower complaint against the Clinton Foundation during a congressional hearing.
Moynihan and Doyle testified to a House committee in December 2018 that the Foundation wrongly operated as a foreign lobbyist by accepting overseas donations and then trying to influence U.S. policy.
The foundation “began acting as an agent of foreign governments early in its life and throughout its existence,” Moynihan testified at the time. “As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2.”
The Clinton Foundation has acknowledged that past internal audits revealed compliance problems with some of its practices but insisted those have been fixed and that it always complied with the law, strongly disputing the whistleblowers’ allegations.
Craig Minassian, a spokesman for the foundation, did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment Tuesday night. But in 2018 the foundation declared it was “one of the most heavily scrutinized charitable organizations in the world” and had “demonstrably improved the lives of millions of people across America and around the world, while earning top ratings from charity watchdog groups in the process.”
Gustafson last October allowed the whistleblower case to proceed, rejecting an IRS motion for summary judgement. He cited nonpublic evidence that the FBI and IRS may have worked jointly on a criminal investigation focused on the foundation.
More recently, reports have emerged that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating whether an FBI effort to investigate the Clinton charity was wrongly thwarted by politics.
In his latest ruling, Gustafson suggested that the IRS whistleblower office was withholding important information for the case.
“There are facts and information, uniquely within the knowledge of the Whistleblower Office that need to be considered in connection with the resolution of the petitioner’s claim,” he wrote.
And the EPA, all of 5he alphabet agencies.
I pray we might yet have just that, gub.
I don’t think this is over by a long shot.
Best thing we can do is wake people up from their slumber.
And just like that, a new generation is introduced to gas lines.
I figured this was just swept under the rug like everything else. Thanks for posting.
