Could be better. But life is still good. Having some coffee is helping.
We had a busy week. Three of our four kids and two grandkids were here. Great fun, but we’re kind of wasted from trying to keep up.
July has been gorgeous here. Wasted, but enjoying.đ
This will help wake up and get us going this morning....

Thanks for that. Great reminder.
That is the BEST kind of tired, spending time with family.
I remember those days very fondly.
Now our grandkids are all grown up and we wait for the great-grands to come and tire us out.

The FBI has quietly launched an investigation into a decade of Democratic party and deep-state antics from Russia collusion to Jack Smith, opening the door for the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine whether the well-documented episodes amount to a criminal conspiracy to meddle in three U.S. elections to the benefit of Democrats and the detriment of President Donald Trump, Just the News has learned.
The âgrand conspiracyâ case was opened several weeks ago after new FBI Director Kash Patel took over, and it could get a significant boost if Trump were to declassify two secret tranches of evidence that identify a potential ignition point to the alleged conspiracy in the summer of 2016, according to several people directly familiar with the inquiry, who spoke to Just the News on a condition of anonymity.
The first piece of evidence is a classified annex to a years-old inspector general probe of Hillary Clintonâs improper email server sought by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. That annex is believed to show that credible information about possible wrongdoing was intentionally ignored by the FBI.
The second tranche of evidence was identified by former Russiagate Special Counsel John Durham in his final report. The evidence was dubbed in the report as the âClinton plan intelligence," and it was also placed in a classified annex kept from the American public and even many members of Congress.
Excerpts from the publicly-available and unclassified Durham report show that U.S. spy agencies were aware that Clintonâs 2016 campaign was concocting a bogus Russia collusion narrative to harm Trumpâs election chances before the FBI opened its now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe, in part using evidence created by the Clinton campaign or offered by Clinton associates.
Both pieces of evidence have remained sealed from public view for nearly a decade and are highly classified because they reveal sensitive intelligence-gathering methods, officials said.
The FBI declined comment.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe earlier this month released a scathing review of the U.S. intelligence communityâs assessment of Russian influence in the 2016 election, criticizing then-CIA Director John Brennan for joining the FBI in pushing to include disgraced British ex-spy Christopher Steeleâs baseless anti-Trump dossier. In particular, Ratcliffe concluded that then-CIA Director John Brennan "showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness."
Ratcliffe later posted on social media about his report, calling the smear campaign against Trump an "atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey."
If Trump declassifies the Grassley and Durham documents, prosecutors could submit them to a grand jury in an effort to try to show a distinct pattern of the FBI and spy agencies willfully ignoring intelligence or evidence damaging to Democrats while relentlessly pursuing Trump with evidence that was often flawed.
Trump administration officials have weighed naming a special prosecutor to probe the recent bombshell revelations reported by Just the News that the FBI received human source intelligence â and some corroborating evidence â that China was engaged in a scheme to create fake mail-in ballots in 2020 to help Joe Biden win. The FBI failed to investigate the matter, and even recalled the intelligence and asked fellow spy agencies to destroy it.
But the five-year statute of limitations on that inquiry is only weeks away from expiring since the evidence arrived in August 2020, leaving the potential for criminal charges or other accountability on an almost impossibly tight timetable.

The United States of America has been ripped off on TRADE (and MILITARY!), by friend and foe, alike, for DECADES. It has come at a cost of TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, and it is just not sustainable any longer - And never was! Countries should sit back and say, âThank you for the many yearâs long free ride, but we know you now have to do whatâs right for America.â We should respond by saying, âThank you for understanding the situation we are in. Greatly appreciated!â
New POTUS morning Truth.
Good morning, Lakeside Granny,
There are NO links uploaded yet for either of today’s White House events, including POTUS’ MAJOR Announcement on Russia.
Will monitor and share asap when they appear.
Have a great day.
âOne year ago, Corey Comperatore died a heroâshielding his family from an assassinâs bullet in Butler. His courage, love, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.â
This reminder of his heroism needs to be repeated every time Butler is mentioned. Corey Comperatore is a name that everyone should know. Far more so than any of the evildoers.
Thank you for this link to the best summary of Trump that I have ever seen. I just shared it with many, young and old.. I will watch it again when I feel down about whatâs happening by the leftists in our country.
Good morning, edie!
Thanks for posting President Trump’s latest TRUTH.
Looks like this TRUTH is in keeping with his meeting with the Sec. of NATO this morning.
You’re welcome and good morning, Freee-dame!
Good morning everyone. Wishing for a strong week of good news that we can all revel in. Wins too!
Fox has their little promo box up, saying:
SOON: Trump Meets with NATO Chief
AMEN and AMEN!
The Trump Wins should overshadow all the negative.
God bless John Solomon ... wasn’t it he and Sara Carter who did SO MUCH great investigative reporting, on Vannity’s show, about the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax?
Did any arrests ever come from any of their work?
Where is Sara, these days? I wish John would have her on his current show, from time to time. She may be retired and enjoying travels, etc, with her dear veteran hubby.
That gives me a chuckle ... that Solomon includes ‘grand conspiracy’ in his headline w/FIB ... considering Ka$h recently admonished any Epstein ‘conspiracy theories’. đ
Good Monday morning, Gran and ALL!!
LIVE: Pres. Trump to make ‘major’ announcement on Russia, White House luncheon, top stories
https://www.youtube.com/live/0xoOlQglBk8?si=yNIrOD64SPkbqud8
Here’s at least one YT stream that seems prepared to cover both of today’s events
Good morning, nm1 ... yes ... good news and more WINS!
Sorely needed, at this point.
Good morning, Jane!
Guess what?đ
We got some glorious rain last night.
It started after I had gone to bed and was engrossed in reading my good book.
Hubby even came in to make sure that I knew it was raining.
A nice gentle rain that was prayed for and much needed.
PTL!
Good morning, edie!
Thank you for the link to POTUS’ Russia announcement/White House luncheon ... praying Linda hasn’t held additional influence on what the meeting and MAJOR announcement will be (as in .. there is NO mention of any asset confiscation or escalation/war drums).
Have all of the bad storms passed over your area, for now? How is your a/c doing? I bet it is heavenly, in this heat.
POTUS could be talking about Ukraine, in that Truth.
How many BILLIONS have we sent?
Awaiting Z to sit back and say, âThank you for the many yearâs long free ride, but we know you now have to do whatâs right for America.”
I won’t hold my breath, tho! Has Z EVER thanked us for any of the $$$ he comes begging for? Ugh....now, I can’t get the pics of the Dems and RINOs glad handing w/the lil beggar.
Maybe he’s talking about all of our military bases, helping EU nations (cough, cough ... Germany, etc).
