President Trump attorney John Lauro continues running the gauntlet against the narrative engineers with this interview on NBC’s Meet the Press with Chuck Todd.An intellectually deficient Todd attempts to justify the Biden administration targeting of Donald Trump and is countered by John Lauro. WATCH: Full Trump lawyer: Election fraud case will be ‘most important’ civil rights case in decades.During the CNN interview below, it was very important to narrative engineer Dana Bash to assert that Joe Biden has nothing to do with the decisions of the DOJ, which is a rather remarkable position considering the same Dana Bash has been...

Just a short follow-up for those who are following along. Those who control the strings on the corporate puppets have gone beyond showing the visible strings; we the audience are now easily able to see their hands.In the latest Politico article, citing the potential debate between Governor Gavin Newsom and Governor Ron DeSantis, you will note the following:[SOURCE]Yes, the commonality for the venue is Georgia.It was always going to be thus, because this nonsense is following a script. Perhaps now you see why I wrote this entire article about how Georgia plays a key role in the 2024 election {GO...

Cops are trying to identify the baby-faced teens caught on wild video trashing an NYPD car in Union Square on Friday when Twitch star Kai Cenat’s unlicensed PS5 giveaway erupted in rioting — a melee City Hall blamed partly on “outside agitators.” Police on Sunday released photos of six of the eight troublemakers estimated at between 14 and 18 years old who kicked, jumped on and danced atop a parked department car during the violent mayhem, which left at least seven people injured, authorities said.

The father of a 21-year-old man who was shot and killed by police as he swung a knife at them on Roosevelt Island over the weekend said his family was “not OK.” “Please we are not able to talk with anybody,” the grieving dad told The Post on Saturday, one day after his son was shot by police. “We are not OK,” he continued when asked how the family was holding up.

A solar salesperson spent five hours in July on a site visit with Jan, a 76-year-old homeowner, to convince her that installing a small rooftop solar system on her Northeast Heights home would eliminate her electric bills overnight. Later, after printing out the one-page financial document she signed, Jan realized it was a 25-year agreement with a $79-per-month repayment plan. That’s $18 more than her current utility payments, which average about $61 per month based on a review of all her Public Service Co. of New Mexico bills since January 2022. Jan did cancel after consulting with Affordable Solar, which...

Lonzer, III announced on July 26th at a current convention on Thursday the relocation of the Fraternity’s 99th General Convention and 119th Anniversary Convention from Orlando, Florida, which was scheduled to take place in 2025.

Washington is getting serious about reports of [UFO's], what the Pentagon now labels as unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs. There is a long history of such sightings and the increase in such observations could be a sign of things to come. [...] Following that hearing a group of lawmakers asked the House speaker to form a committee to investigate government programs involving UAPs. Specifically, they requested "subpoena authority" to collect information [...] What are we to make of this news? Well, there are many reports of strange objects in the sky dating from ancient times. Historian Josephus wrote of a...

It was a shortened day for students at Helix High School in La Mesa, California. It wasn't especially hot that day but because one school in the district got out early, the whole Grossmont district followed suit. Some students were clearly happy about it but one football playe

*** Recent mid-year filings with the Federal Election Commission have shed light on which deep-pocketed donors are bankrolling which Republican hopefuls. Donald Trump*** former President Donald Trump remains a fundraising powerhouse. Past big-named backers, such as real estate heir Ronald Lauder ($4.4 billion) and private equity behemoth Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman ($32 billion) appear to be distancing themselves from the GOP frontrunner. ***Last quarter, his joint fundraising committee, comprised of his 2024 campaign and the Save America PAC touted a roughly $35 million haul. Multiple billionaires donated to the Trump-aligned Make America Great Again Inc. Super PAC during the first...

Description: Ankara's role during the war in Ukraine is a complex and sometimes controversial one. As a NATO member but not an EU state, the Turks have continued to expand their trade with Russia and have continued an open dialogue with Moscow. On the other hand, Türkiye's military industry has supplied Ukraine even before the full scale invasion and Turkish policy has been full throated in its support for Ukraine's territorial integrity - including Crimea. Turkish policy is complex and, to use the words of a former NATO assistant Secretary General - compartmentalised. It often involves cooperation even with potential...

Wait: we thought it was only those e-e-e-vil conservatives who employ violent imagery about their political opponents! But on her MSNBC show on Sunday morning, Katie Phang endorsed, and even surpassed, one of the vilest anti-Republican metaphors imaginable. At one point, guest Rick Wilson of the disgraced Lincoln Project said that unless and until the other Republican candidates acknowledge that Trump is a "career criminal" who must be held to account, the Republican Party is "dead and rotting in the field."Phang exclaimed in response: "so, let's hasten that, then!" Yup: MSNBC host Katie wants to accelerate the putrefaction of those...

The Essential Church opened in theaters nationwide last weekend. The documentary reminds me that many individuals throughout history fought state-mandated interference in how Christianity could be practiced, often sacrificing their lives. As I watched three pastors whose churches reopened in May 2020 shepherd their flock, I was encouraged by their faith but also reminded of all the leaders who failed me. Most pastors and Christians...allowed the state to deem church services "non-essential" and adopted the false morality touted by public health officials, where the virtuous treated his fellow man as a biohazard, with keeping him at six feet's distance as...

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy suggested Saturday that the United States' involvement in the war in Ukraine is "likely" tied to allegations that President Joe Biden's son received bribes from overseas energy firm Burisma. “The purpose of the U.S. military [is] to advance American interests, to protect the homeland. Not to aimlessly fight some random war that’s arguably a repayment for a private bribe that a family member of the United States received, $5 million from Burisma,” Ramaswamy said during a campaign event in front of around 60 Iowans in Council Bluffs. Ramaswamy said it's "likely" that Hunter Biden's former...

The New York Times asked readers what type of animal President Joe Biden would be, and the answers are brutally honest. The results weren’t pretty, given the people answering the question didn’t hold back their honest thoughts on the 80-year-old president. Dinosaur, hippopotamus, and a sloth were just a few of the answers given when describing the president who forgets where he is more than he remembers— and Democrats expressed these about Biden. “A camel. The way he talks, I see the camel’s mouth moving,” said Donnia, an independent from Illinois. “A meerkat,” said Milan, a New Hampshire Independent noted....

In recent weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has dashed off to Florida on short notice. She sparred with the state’s conservative governor, Ron DeSantis, over how to teach slavery in schools. And she flew into Iowa to defend abortion rights while 13 Republican presidential candidates were having dinner a few miles away. Although her words were directed at Republicans, her message was also aimed at all her doubters. Once a rising star as a senator in California, Ms. Harris has for years been saddled by criticism of her performance as vice president. She has struggled with difficult assignments on issues...

Joe Biden is pushing Merrick Garland to put Donald Trump before a firing squad. In the meanwhile, it is becoming apparent that Biden not only is directly involved with Hunter Bidden and Burisma but is a puppet of China as well. China has engaged in several provocative actions, none of which has Biden made any meaningful response to. China floated a spy balloon across the entire country, spending time over many military sites in the US. China has opened police stations in the US. China hackers are running amuckChina-based hackers have breached email accounts at two-dozen organizations, including some...
