It is Official, Jill Biden’s Wardrobe Consultant is Kamala Harris’ Speechwriter
There is no other reasonable explanation that makes sense. [LINK] Jill Biden’s wardrobe consultant/clothier must also be Kamala Harris’ speechwriter. This much fail cannot possibly come from two different people. [IMAGE LINK] Also, why are they letting Jill Biden steal snow globes from the souvenir shop?

Garland misjudged the fallout from raid on Mar-a-Logo
Michael Goodwin: Reserved, studious and precise, Merrick Garland appears to be an attorney general selected by central casting. Unfortunately, the part he is playing belongs to another era, one where the government was widely trusted. After orchestrating one of the biggest events in the history of the Department of Justice, Garland proved himself too small for the moment. Whether he volunteered or was pushed into authorizing the unprecedented FBI raid on the home of former President Donald Trump, he was woefully unprepared for the entirely predictable fallout. It should not ha... read more

The DOJ and FBI need a house cleaning
Charles Lipson: The two most striking features of the FBI’s unprecedented raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home are its bold intrusiveness and the public’s mistrust of the Bureau’s honesty and integrity. The Department of Justice could have used low-profile subpoenas to force Trump to turn over any documents, including the most sensitive ones. It didn’t. Instead, it sent carloads of federal agents to search the former president’s house. That raid was also unusual in a second sense. Although mishandling federal documents is a felony, it happens with some frequency, alas, and is a... read more

Republicans say Biden deceptive about Afghan bug-out
Washington Examiner: President Joe Biden has been accused in a report by House Republicans of knowingly misleading the country about the justification for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in his April 2021 speech. The speech set the stage for a chaotic evacuation and a deadly Taliban takeover in August 2021. The damning, 100-page report claims Biden's speech was littered with claims disconnected from the reality on the ground — which House Republicans say had cascading effects leading to disaster. Republicans pointed to five main claims, and, after investigating, the group “... read more

"The Limits of Our Freedom"
*"The Limits of Our Freedom"* by Mark Harrison "Viktor Frankl, the Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, wrote in "Man's Search for Meaning", "Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space lies all our freedom." In the most extreme conditions of privation imaginable, Frankl discovered that he was, remarkably, free to choose his response to any situation. I love this quote because it sums up the essence of my philosophy. I believe it is the cornerstone of a happy and effective life. A real, experiential understanding of this radical freedom is life changi... read more

Glyphosate & Roundup: Poison In Our Daily Bread – Why is it Showing up in Non-GMO & Organic Foods? (Podcast)

But why is glyphosate herbicide showing up in non-GMO and organic foods too?

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Bright clusters and nebulae abound in the ancient northern constellation of Auriga. The region includes the open star cluster M38, emission nebula IC 410 with Tadpoles, Auriga’s own Flaming Star Nebula IC 405, and this interesting pair IC 417 (lower left) and NGC 1931. An imaginative eye toward the expansive IC 417 and diminutive NGC 1931 suggests a cosmic spider and fly. *Click image for larger size.* About 10,000 light-years distant, both represent young, open star clusters formed in interstellar clouds and still embedded in glowing hydrogen gas.

"Hold Up Your Head!"
“Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn’t. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country – hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.” - Mark Twain read more
Victoria bans the construction of homes heated with natural gas
True North is reporting that "Victoria councillors have banned the construction of homes that rely on fossil fuels like natural gas for heating after the year 2025. This week, city councillors touted its 'zero carbon' policy, which will require all future developments to be heated using renewable energy only." That is bat sh*t crazy and falls under the definition of fake environmentalism. Natural gas is clean burning. Industrial coal is not. This is like banning farming to save the environment. It is a lie with a sinister agenda. Natural gas is clean burning but it's also cheap. H... read more

We are at war. Monday’s unprecedented raid at Mar-a-Lago, and now the traitors’ threat to falsely indict President Trump for espionage, place us in a pitched battle to save this Republic. And we cannot wait until 2024 to win it. There may be no USA in 2024 unless we can first beat back the traitors of the “deep state. ” Now we have less than 90 days to elect a “Nuclear MAGA” Congress which will use its powers to do that, and to preserve the nation and its economy while that is still possible.

Will the West’s greed and hatred lead to the end of the world?
It can certainly be said that the risk for nuclear war is far greater today than it was less a year ago. Ever since the conflict in Ukraine began, the collective West and its vassals, also known as the “international community” have been engaged in a hybrid war against Russia, stopping just short of direct confrontation. Although some EU leaders like Borrell seem to think that the West is an active combatant in the conflict. “We must explain to our citizens that this is not someone else’s war,” Borrell said in an interview published by newspaper El Pais on Thursday. “The public must... read more
