  1. Vance will one day make a fine President.

    “This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.

    For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn’t have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.

    And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall’s actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?

    Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That’s another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.

    President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts:

    Number one, while our Western European allies’ security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.

    Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing.

    Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict.

    Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it.

    Number five, the conflict has placed–and continues to place–stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.

    Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as “appeasement” every acknowledgment that America’s interest must account for the realities of the conflict.

    That interest–not moralisms or historical illiteracy–will guide President Trump’s policy in the weeks to come.

    And thank God for that.”

    “The caskets of Oded Lifshitz, Shiri Bibas, Ariel Bibas (5), and Kfir Bibas (1) have been paraded across a stage with Hamas terrorists to cheering Gazan “civilians” surrounded by terrorist propaganda.

    Hamas is openly and publicly celebrating that they kidnapped and murdered an infant baby, to cheering crowds.

    Think about that for a second.”

    “🧵🧵How Soros Controled Biden’s White House

    We keep hearing ad nauseam from the shills over at CNN and MSNBC how Elon Musk runs the government and how someone who is unelected is in control.

    Strangely none of those people wanted to tell you the influence that George Soros had in the Biden Administration.

    So to recap, the media has a really big problem with transparency, and the fact that Elon Musk is looking for waste fraud and abuse, but they are silent about the fact that George and Alex Soros secretly guided the White House agenda behind the back of the American people?

    Even before Biden was inaugurated, he had Transition Review Teams assembled for every department within the government. Those teams had to understand all the operations of the specific government agencies so that the administration will be ready on day one.

    17 picks for those transition teams worked directly for Soros organizations. And he could call them and direct them on what policy to push in each department.

    The following are examples of agencies had a transition team member directly working in a Soros organization:

    State Department

    Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

    United States Mission to the United Nations

    Department of Defense

    Department of Labor

    Department of the Treasury

    Banking and Securities Regulators

    National Security Council”

      “DISTURBING: Yale researchers have found that some COVID jab recipients show signs of a depleted immune system and continue producing spike proteins years after the shot.

      “This is bad news. Very bad.”

      What was once called a “conspiracy theory” is now backed by science: vaccine spike proteins can linger in the body for years, potentially causing chronic inflammation and long-term health problems.

      Even more alarming, some patients experienced Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation, while others had dangerously low levels of vital immune cells.

      The COVID jabs were sold to us as the solution to “end the pandemic.” Instead, it looks like they wrecked the immune system and made things worse.”

  5. So he intends to serve out his term through 2026! He should have been gone a long time ago but I say good riddance!

    Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell is announcing on Thursday that he won’t seek re-election next year, ending a decades-long tenure in Washington, D.C.

    McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, chose his 83rd birthday to share his decision not to run for another term in Kentucky and to retire when his current term ends. He has been serving in the Senate since 1985.  He informed The Associated Press of his decision before he was set to address colleagues in a speech on the Senate floor.

  6. “Trump is only half right when he says the war in Ukraine was not started by the Russians but by the Ukrainians.

    It was in fact started by his predecessors in the White House, the neocon US deep state, and their NATO lapdogs in Ottawa and European capitals. They are the ones who engineered the Maidan revolution and for years worked to encircle, provoke, and weaken Russia instead of developing friendly relations.

    Anybody who still supports the corrupt dictator Zelensky, and wants this war to continue instead of having a peace deal with Putin, is morally degenerate and a supporter of destruction and mass murder.

    Canadian leftists in particular should be ashamed that they now align with CIA killers and pro-war neocons like Harper and Bush that they’ve always despised.”

  7. “Irwyn Ince, director of the Presbyterian Church in America’s missions program apologized last week for a guidance that advised illegal immigrants on how to avoid ICE. This week, he is speaking at a racially segregated event for “black worshippers” only.

    Is this how Christ’s kingdom is supposed to work – – dividing up for events by skin color?”

  8. WASHINGTON — Kash Patel, a longtime loyalist to President Donald Trump, was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation — an agency he has talked about drastically restructuring while echoing Trump’s claims of the “weaponization” of the bureau’s powers in its Capitol riot investigations and other recent cases.

    Patel was opposed by a pair of Republican senators: Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski and Maine’s Susan Collins. But he won support from every other Republican, including Sen. Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, who had opposed some of Trump’s other nominees. The final vote was 51-49, with all Senate Democrats opposing Patel.

  9. Congratulations, Director Patel! Let’s hope and pray that we get many answers to a lot of questions. Epstein – JFK, assassination attempts on Pres. Trump, pipe bombs and the FBI role in J6, just to name a few.

  10. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 19 directing all agencies to identify any federally funded programs that provide financial assistance to illegal immigrants and “take corrective actions” to ensure funds to states and localities “will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.”

    The order also mandates improvements in eligibility verification to block federal assistance from reaching anyone present in the nation illegally.

  11. NYT:

    The fourth body was supposed to be the children’s mother, Shiri Bibas. But Israeli forensic testing found it did not belong to her, the Israeli military said, describing it as a “violation of the utmost severity” of the ongoing cease-fire.
