  2. Dems are angry with Musk and DOGE b/c they simply can’t have a paper trail of all the regime change stuff that they had been doing to destroy Pres. Trump (and they are more interested in protecting Obama than Biden). Paid for by US taxpayers!

    Here’s some of what our government has done in the name of its own citizens (amongst all kinds of other corruption): opened our borders, actively terrorized the citizens through censorship campaigns, funded operations around the world to try to get rid of Pres. Trump and send his people to jail.

    Without cheating and lying the Left has no leg to stand on. That’s why they are so militant – constantly projecting what they themselves are doing onto their opponents, and they hate those who have not fallen for all the lies and brainwashing.

  3. Here’s my quote of the day….!

    🤣

    Sen. John Kennedy

    “A lot of my Democratic colleagues and members of the tofu crowd are very upset and screaming like Musk stole their dog. But they are not talking about what Mr. Musk is finding.”

  4. “There’s a massive part of the US Government that operates in complete secrecy, beyond democratic accountability, and for purposes the public is kept completely blind to.

    It’s what Dwight Eisenhower warned about – and that was 65 years ago.

    Exposing USAID is a public service.”

    “Yes. And CEPPS is the exact USAID program that ran a formal explicit global Internet censorship program, pooling 100s of censorship NGOs into one combined network, with the express stated purpose to pressure foreign governments to pass laws & regulations to censor speech online.”

    “Wait, what? CEPPS has raked in massive amounts of USAID money and still controls half a billion dollars in active government awards—yet they just funnel it straight to partisan NGOs, splitting it between the Republican-aligned International Republican Institute and the Democratic National Democratic Institute?”

    Huh.

    Looks like that whole uniparty thing is really a thing. And taxpayers fund it all.

  5. Paul warned of this happening. Calling out wolves, snakes, vipers and such seems to be good and right. For those taking exception to “name calling”….well when it’s appropriate it’s appropriate. We are not in the “right wing echo chamber”….calling fellow believers closed minded is just about like taking offense at being called a never Trumper…maybe.

     29 I rknow that after my departure tfierce wolves will come in among you, unot sparing the flock; 30 and vfrom among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore wbe alert, remembering that xfor three years I did not cease night or day yto admonish every one zwith tears

  8. Journalism is alive and well in some places.

    “FBI employees are in hiding of sorts while sissy men Norm Eisen and Mark Zaid rush to their defense.

    As I explain here–the subterfuge is the latest coverup of the FBI’s involvement in J6.”

  9. No NJ, it was the links for all the footnotes.

    Some have clearly taken offense to my wolves and snakes comment.

    I’m sorry that’s the case, but given what has been exposed about those men, what they did FROM THE PULPIT! and all, seem totally and completely appropriate and accurate. They were intentionally misleading their “flocks” on it, all for politics and to target a candidate. Those are exactly the type of wolves and snakes referred to, those speaking twisted things

  11. Snakes, wolves and vipers is correct. I’m not usually that surprised by our religious leaders any more, but it was actually quite shocking to me to learn that French and Moore had government funding for their pulpit propaganda. I had assumed it was coming from a religious source.

    They promoted their project as doing the “heavy lifting” for “busy pastors” so ministers don’t have to spend valuable time considering confusing political issues. Why these men retain any credibility in the Christian community is beyond me, but perhaps there are more positive things in their “ministries” than I am aware of.

  12. ” These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.

  13. He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

    Samuel in first Samuel, page 161, 162 of English Standard Version Reader’s Bible, vol two.

  16. This is an excellent interview by Tucker with Mike Benz. Benz is former Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Policy in the State Department. AJ sometimes links his Tweets here which is where I first heard of him. Benz is a very measured, mostly unemotional clinical interviewee.

  18. It turns out that too much politics is not healthy for some people. Time to disconnect and decompress if you find yourself becoming anxious or depressed over the political climate on either side of the aisle. As christians we know where our peace ultimately comes from, but turning off the tv or computer for awhile may assist many people in resetting their equilibrium.

    “Opponents of President Donald Trump are suffering severe health issues after his November victory, according to Glenn Burnett, an internal doctor from Wyoming.

    Burnett said he advises his patients to turn off computers and televisions to restore their mental health.
    Burnett, who spoke with journalist Mark Halprin Thursday night, disclosed many of his Democrat patients are experiencing a number of severe mental health issues due to former Vice President Kamala Harris being defeated.

    “We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure,” he told Halprin. “And then people are that there’s some genuine fear, panic.”…..

  19. It should be a no-brainer that physicians don’t cut the healthy body parts off of children, but apparently it takes a Presidential Executive Order to get through to some. Of course, they may start cutting again at any time, but one hopes that the pause will give some time to have a change of heart and avoid a costly and permanent tragedy.

    “CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital said it is pausing all gender care surgeries for patients under the age of 19 in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order on gender care….”

  22. I’m kind of excited about this one. Perhaps rk is getting her wish and discussion of abortion is being linked with adoption. Who would have thought the CDC would be the one to make it happen:

    “Users who search for abortion information on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website are now directed to try searching for the word “adoption.”

    The change comes less than a week after more than a dozen federal agency websites — including the CDC’s — went offline. Some of the CDC’s webpages have since been restored, but scientists and public health researchers are concerned that the information that has come back has been altered in some way.

    If users click on the “Also try: adoption” hyperlink, they are brought to a search result page with a mixed list of CDC articles. Many of the links are to health guidelines for families considering international adoption.

    It is unclear when the change to the CDC’s website occurred, but some public health workers speculate it happened when the sites were pulled down late Friday…..”

    “Good afternoon, @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James:

    I am conducting a constituent audit of your finances. Your 2023 financial disclosure shows a Virginia investment property worth $100k-$150k with $250k-$400k in mortgages, but reports $0 income from it. And how did you obtain $250k-$400k in loans on a Virginia property worth $150k or less?”

  25. “Disgusted by the moral cowardice of Wheaton College.

    This elite Christian college rightly congratulated alumni Russ Vought upon his confirmation as OMB Director. Cool.

    But after a pathetic left-wing bot bully campaign the college “leaders” decided to *rescinded* the congratulation and posted an apology (!!!) for being nice to Vought. Disowning their own wildly successful and influential Christian alumni because of some pagan loser in the Facebook comments. Ugh.

    This is the literal definition of surrendering to the woke mob. It demonstrates total moral weakness, cowardice and a desire to be “liked” most of all by secular society over basic Christian decency and bravery.

    Remember kids, Stand on your Christian principles against the world — unless some childless miserable Karen is mean to you.

    If you want your kids to become strong moral leaders — do not send them to @WheatonCollege.”

  26. As Mike Benz mentioned, the “labyrinth of lies” of USAID was so pervasive that many Americans couldn’t even conceive that our own country was doing these things.
