I live in the reddest of red states and sadly about 80% of the elected Republican party is Israel first.

The younger gens are different but the boomers are all Israel first. It's just part of their upbringing, unfortunately.

I love when Harris delivers a low-key win like this. 🤣

Also kudos to Shapiro & his ghost writer for dramatizing standard vetting questions and giving us some raw meat to gnaw on.

I'll believe it when I see it. But here is Byrne's reply for the record:

IMO is behind a lot of the $XMR action right now.

Sleepydude makes a great point in his latest with respect to how the Greenland question is also a NATO question.

If they ally against us w/respect to Greenland, NATO is essentially fractured, and it'll be the Euros initiating the separation.

And try this search string in X to get a general idea of the narrative:

"Obama quietly followed the law and focused on immigrants with criminal records."

Try variations of the phrase to get an idea of what accounts it's seeded with.

Here is apparently the text of the paper:

Another thing to consider: vaccinated folks are getting vaccinated all the fucking time. If they're taking the shot twice a year, cancer will always be within six months proximity to vaccination.

I have stopped giving advice on the vaccine. Know family members who have successfully processed over a dozen doses. I'm grateful that both the vaccinated and unvaccinated in my circle seem to be surviving.

Don't really trust any of the studies floating around and hope RFK delivers some that are readable, responsibly conducted, and have data that can be publicly analyzed.

I dunno fren, that sounds kinda plausible to me. 🤣

Do you have any good sources for tracking the day-to-day reality in Iran? Reliable reporting is very hard to find on some of these matters. Even in the US we see inaccurate reporting on highly monitored events like J6, Summer of Floyd, Rachel Good, etc.

My outlook is I don't have a prayer of accurately tracking what is going on in a closed society like Iran, and I really don't have anyone I trust to provide info on it.

Does anyone have analysis/thoughts on why historic deportation numbers under non-Trump presidencies was so high, and in particular why the media flex on Obama's deportation numbers?

I know for damn sure that border has been wide open for every non-Trump day, because the reality is a multitude of industries are run on illegal labor now, and said fact is integrated into the argument in favor of open borders. A huge % of schools and neighborhoods are dedicated to illegals, and many government programs prioritize illegals over citizens.

So what "enforcement" was occurring that DHS was reporting on? Why does the media flex on this topic when their goal is clearly to have the public take a soft stance on deportation?

Is it simply that their best card is to make Trump's immigration management look inept? Create an alternate history that border enforcement was better as well as "nicer" under prior admins? I could see that.

The simplest explanation is the more rope they're given the stronger the case is when the crackdown comes.

New crimes also trigger new statutes of limitation, cuz lord knows this shit has been going on for long enough that some folks would be off the hook for earlier crimes.

If the resistance was subtle and hidden, there'd be reasonable doubt and it'd be harder to sell to juries and the general public. I think white hats very much want the public to see the contrast between say COVID enforcement and immigration enforcement, and how representatives, cities, corporations respond to each threat.

e.g. Why is ICE checking for ID a gestapo event now, but mandatory vaccines/masks and vaccine passport were not? People subconsciously have an understanding of the deep, pervasive hypocrisy of their government/culture/news.

Some wild action in $XMR too. Think Iran & Venezuela might be driving some of this as well.

Polis has an interesting backstory and has been completely out of the spotlight nationally.

Jewish, homosexual, "married", Democratic member of the Liberty Caucus, Carol Swain protege, very wealthy w/many businesses, pro Bitcoin, pro raw milk.

Part of the gang of four billionaires pushing to turn the state Democrat: Pat Stryker, Rutt Bridges, and Tim Gill.

Maybe someone local to Colorado can give a read on him. He may honestly be a Libertarian goofball.

Most (all?) Libertarians I know distrust Smartmatic/Dominion, so why is this one so trusting of them?

Agreed. I look at it as I'm an unpaid therapist for the city.

Could it be the announcement of the first COVID death (Jan 9th 2020)? Very close but having trouble pinning down the significance of the 3:07 time. Would love to find the original CCTV video.

January 19th 2020, a few days later, seems to be a bit of a Q kickoff.

Also correlates closely with the Gamestop boom a year later (January 2021).

Maybe it's related to his Twitter ban? But that looks like it happened on January 8th.

The 9th would be an unusual period of social media silence for Trump so whatever he was doing on that day/time should stand out, but I am not finding anything.
