Have you seen President Trump's powerful 4 minute video message? Don't miss it!
Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.
Q describes this awakening as follows:
"The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!" ~ Q (#3038)
The video, Qanon is 100% coming from the Trump Administration, is just one of many excellent responses to the all-important question, "Whom does Q serve?"
Q Boot Camp is a quick, condensed way to learn the background and basics about the Q movement.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.
In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All

I ‘plated’, and am now waiting for someone to say, “It’s all too hard to read!”
haha, don’t let the vultures get you down....
and get well!!
I feel really bad for this man.
Before anybody flips out at me, I took care of patients like this for 40 years. What they have done to him, in order to win that seat is not only unspeakably cruel, it is inhumane.
I have seen people who have had a stroke try to speak, some cannot and never will again, and some will be like this man who can hear, but can’t make any sense out of it.
Now imagine if your party puts you (if you were him) on national television and turn you loose-unwashed, unshaven, faint from hunger and you don’t know a SINGLE person.
I just can’t pile on him, even if he IS a Democrat.
I think them doing this is just HIDEOUS behavior.
If THAT is the kind of people who would do this is
the party they belong to, then they can keep it.
Now his wife has abandoned him....
Pray for this man. He may come from a wealthy family but he is so much poorer than you can imagine.
P.S. This is Ms. B.s community service message:
Learn the signs of stroke and the way they affect your brain
Aphasia involves difficulty producing and/or interpreting language, caused by damage to a specific area of the brain

Humana announces exit from employer group medical insurance line:
Edward Dowd has been documenting that the healthiest group in America, workers age 25 to 64 who are employed and have employer provided health insurance, now have a higher death rate than the unemployed or gig economy workers. Medical and disability benefits are likely trending the same way. Which would mean employee group health coverage is becoming, or is about to become, a money losing line of business.
That’s one.
If we see another, we will know that the consequences of ignoring reality have arrived and can no longer be ignored.
What happens if several large insurance companies bow out of group life, medical, and disability, all at once, rather than take the losses? Or have to present in public the actuarial evidence for the need for a 400 percent premium increase?
The fecal matter will hit the oscillator.
Will Pfizer and Moderna be forced to cough up their ill gotten gains to pay for the consequences of the death jabs?
It’s called disgorgement.
The day of reckoning approaches.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, her husband and many others including sitting Maricopa judges and election officials accepted bribes from the Sinaloa Drug and Human Trafficking Cartel.
Katie Hobbs used a fraudulent Mortgage and Title Company that doesn’t exists to receive those bribes. 9 properties total appear to be gifted to her through the non-existent Mortgage and Title Company which funneled cartel monies.

A good-news story about bird flu
Yes, I’m serious.
Alex Berenson
The people who brought you Covid are really hoping to make bird flu a thing.
Scare stories about a potential epidemic of H5N1 influenza have taken off this week, with New York Times asking if we’re ready for “Back-to-Back Pandemics.”
(Or maybe Back-to-Back-and-Belly-to-Belly pandemics?)
Worst of all, Neil Ferguson is now making H5N1 predictions. Ferguson is the British epidemiologist who helped stampede the world into lockdown in 2020 with dire predictions of Covid patients overrunning hospitals. The rules didn’t apply to him, though, he made sure his married (not to him) girlfriend could drop by even when he had Covid.
(Side piece exemption! In his defense, she’s cute:)

Biden/USA have lost yet another war:
“Time to End the War in Ukraine”, The US Has Lost. Newsweek
“Time to end the war in Ukraine. Mediation is the best answer”: Newsweek writes that US arrogance has led Ukraine to disaster. The war has already been lost for Ukraine, and the only question is how many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians must die before Kiev accepts reality. The only way to stop the conflict is to hear Russia’s demands and start peace talks.

Key point to election fraud in her testimony:
“In October 2020, shortly before the November 3 election, Thaler was provided certain information. First was evidence that the Maricopa County computer database had been designed with various backdoors allowing us or outsiders to infiltrate it and to change the data. Second, was the identities of bribed recipients, which included elected officials. And third, on October 26, 2020, Thaler’s team discovered approximately 25,000 falsified ballots being held and with a significant sum of cash in a private residence in Mesa, rented to Dawna Chavez. I do have a declaration in your packet that you’ve been provided, detailing that.”
Last night attorney John Thaler whose law firm did the research appeared with Mark Finchem on ‘Frank Speech’ with Brannon Howse
In the interview at about 32:00, it is brought to light that Ben Toma, Republican Speaker of the AZ House has family ties to Runbeck, which runs the elections in Maricopa.
Squawking and squirming the most over Breger’s presentation was Senator Bennet, the AZ audit liaison who oversaw the event in 2021…

"Muammar Gaddafi pitched his tent on an estate belonging to Donald Trump in suburban New York yesterday, according to reports."
"The Libyan leader is scheduled to attend the UN general assembly this week. He had been struggling to find a plot to accommodate the large Bedouin tent he takes with him when travelling abroad."
"Workers were seen yesterday erecting a tent and satellites in the glamorous neighbourhood of Bedford on an estate owned by Trump. Local officials tried to stop them, saying it was illegal to build a temporary residence without a permit. An ABC News helicopter filmed a large tent on the 113-acre Seven Springs estate, with rugs and patterned wall hangings. Green and yellow fabric lined the walls in a pattern dotted with images of small brown camels, according to a local newspaper website image. Last night a state department official told AP the tent might be used for entertaining by Gadaffi, but he would not be sleeping there."

E.O. 13526 still says VP can classify. Looks like Declassify can be done by VP
(b) Information shall be declassified or downgraded by:
(1) the official who authorized the original classification, if that official is still serving in the same position and has original classification authority;
(2) the originator’s current successor in function, if that individual has original classification authority;

As far as VP Biden is concerned, wouldn’t this only apply to documents classified by Dick Cheney?
