Deepers going deeper. The debate showed that “The Emporer Has no Clothes”, despite 51 top clothing experts working for agencies giving rave fashion reviews.

With Independence Day here,

the white supremacists are going to rampage globally!

This is obv in response to the fearsome Iranian attack that we’ve been waiting on for 77 days!

If one believes any of the above, I’m selling NFT’s out of my truck on Main St later today.

"(FPCON) "Charlie" as a result of an outgoing bumbling fool being put on full display to the world.

Like the Deepers didn't think this had to happen? I say they induce a stroke, ice him in the Whitehouse basement, let Harris step up, appoint Newsome, and then send Harris on a rescue mission to the ISS on a Boeing Bird.

There. Fixed that.

I don’t see why anybody should be panicking over this. Biden is perfectly fine to be CIC. Probably almost as good as Captain Kangaroo.

Central European Summer Time is 6 hours ahead of EDT.

Thankfully, the bad guys now know to operate only between the hours of 4 pm and 10 pm.

⚠️ BREAKING: Muslims in France 🇫🇷, with the help of left-wing parties, are going BERSERK on the streets, burning everything.

You can hear chants of “Allahu Akbar” in the background.
