    (h/t foldspace)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’),...

    So: according to the Woke, if you don’t see color, you are a racist. But if you see color, you are also a racist. You cannot win. If they want to destroy you with accusations of racism, they will. What you have actually done, and what you actually thought, doesn’t matter. All that matters is what those with the power to destroy you on the basis of accusation alone say you have done. Do you understand now why the people who grew up under Soviet communism are so alarmed now? Do you understand why I wrote Live Not By Lies?...

    Newsmax TV has scored a historic, first-ever ratings victory over Fox News Channel, according to a CNN Business report. The notable win came this week in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic prized by advertisers, when the “Greg Kelly Reports” show topped Fox’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum.” Kelly’s show averaged 229,000 viewers compared to MacCallum’s which averaged 203,000. “Before the election, Newsmax was not regarded as a formidable competitor to Fox; it was mostly dismissed as one of a handful of wannabe challengers,” the CNN writeup states. “But President Trump’s loss on November 3 changed the cable TV calculus.”...

    What is water trading? The market allows farmers, hedge funds, and municipalities to hedge bets on the future price of water and water availability in the American West.

But some experts say treating water as a tradable commodity puts a basic human right into the hands of financial institutions and investors. Wall Street’s...

    A new report suggests President-elect Joe Biden plans to hire a “high-ranking” official at the Department of Justice (DOJ) whose lone job will be to systematically undo President Trump’s immigration reforms. Reforms that the current administration has argued improved America’s national security and public safety. According to Politico, “Biden will be able to rescind some policies through the stroke of a pen on Day 1.” Others, however, will take time and dedication. Something one source tells the outlet will be the job of one person specifically. A man dedicated solely to undoing everything President Trump did to strengthen and enforce...
