Item 5

What were these 70 year old English people doing in Afghanistan in the first place?

Item 22

It use to piss me off to no end that when I was a teacher in Clownifornia every 2 years I, not the students, would have to have a test for tuberculosis. What were the chance of me getting tb versus the untold hundreds of students from Mexico and beyond that came here undocumented?

William heard a lot of stuff like this: "I can't pass this course, señor, I don't speak TB."

"ITEM 17 ... 'Monica Lewinsky believes former President Bill Clinton should have resigned from the White House after their affair.'

"Really? I always thought he should have seen an optometrist."

[Lewinsky/Walz ("Tampon Tim") would have beaten Trump, damn it...]

--- "ITEM 19 ... 'Katy Perry is scheduled to blast off on the next launch of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket ...”

We're reminded of the old, old joke: "See why Jayne Mansfield will never drown."

P.S.: Bezos, you dirty old man. True, Katy is a tad older than Joan Barry (Mary Louise Gribble), but never mind that. No wonder Charlie Chaplin was your hero:

Thus depriving the Pentagon of an additional $8.5 billion for nightclubs, casinos, bookies and hookers.

This might be the only intelligent thing Bill Gates has ever done.

Brandon Johnson was/is a member of the Chicago Teachers Union. He had no political or administrative experience. The union rammed him onto the people with their army of paid supporters and no one bothered to analyze whether he was qualified. They chose him over a proven highly capable man with decades of experience and achievements. Very sad, very, very sad.

Let's be clear here, this is all about money. You do not have to have a proven record if you have enough money to buy an office. The national education system has won after decades of getting radicalized. They no longer teach, they indoctrinate and it is unfixable in terms of our judicial system. The best that we can hope for is a complete destruction of the unions that have promulgated this and then the complete removal of todays system and replacing it with affordable alternatives. I'm not sure we are tough enough to bring this about.

Yeah, but isn't this a sign of the times today how we debate who is the worst instead of just making a category for the most corrupt states? I swear, every time I think a state can't get any dumber and any more corrupt, some state proves me wrong. I lived in Oregon most of my life and while it was always clear it leaned left, at least they had limits to the madness. Not anymore. Both Oregon and Washington state have gone full nuke left today. I think Washington state made have the edge on the insanity here but we are splitting hairs I guess. They can't seem to look at California and see where this will all lead them. Leftist refuse to learn from history or the very reality they see all around them. By the way, I no longer say it can't get any worse.

Would be one of the happiest days of my life if I ever see James Comey in leg irons and an orange jump suit. But I ain't holding my breath. Wishing for this is kinda like wishing the Epstein files will ever be released.

What I don't understand is why the entire legal community isn't clamoring for his neck to be stretched ; besides violating the civil rights of millions he has made an absolute laughingstock of their profession . Nothing like losing faith in a segment of society that will not police their own .

People lost faith in the FBI and DOJ long before Commie was there. It took it to a new level of hell, one not seen except in totalitarian regimes like Stalin or Mao had.

Because enough of them belong to the club that they are all related in a common drive to remain in power. So far, it has worked for them. Comey and others are protected by the club just like soldiers protect their fellow soldiers. It is for the common good. In the case of the rogue judicial system members, that good is defined by getting and keeping power.

I heard he was busy taking out the WH garbage and sprucing up the lawn to try to get Trump to talk to him again. Judging by what I saw while watching that meltdown, the runt needs to get some new advisors by canning his EU advisors who want to undermine Trump and Lyndsay RINO Graham and the Dems and then buying some really good knee pads. If he thought the minerals deal was bad, just wait until this next round of talks. I guarantee there won't be any WH Oval office repeat. Standby you text messaging, Vold, for further news.

I'd agree with you. The flu isn't a Corona virus, the common cold is. Even had the Cov failed to spread, the tests would still come back positive because they gave positives to the common cold.

Look around at who was panicking. Also, remember all the people they murdered to advance the narrative.

Reiner Fuellmich is a lawyer in Germany. He started investigating the origins of COVID. This is an interview with David Martin, a specialist in corporate asset protection and patent security.

Fuellmich was arrested and put on trial last year. I don't know what the outcome was. Basically they will do anything to protect their lies.

The brainwashed masses. The government has Pushed the narrative that vaccines are unsafe for decades. This started during Reagan and they were given protection from liability.

Every year we have a new strain of influenza and every year they trot out a vaccine. People have become conditioned to it and forget that there are many diseases that lack a cure. Ebola for example.

Thought about adding aids, but it's easily stopped by elimination of risky behavior from our lifestyles.

Unfortunately there are people who fear not getting sex more than death.

ITEM 12: NBC reported, “Disease outbreaks and starvation deaths will increase as a result of USAID cuts, officials say.”

We've all seen the deep state playbook, especially when Trump is in office so there is some truth in Item 12.

Get ready for the next pandemic because the gain of function research has probably produced a form of bird flu (H5N1) or a new strain of COVID that will be more deadly and serious. The government must restore its failed reputation from COVID-1 and be able to say "We told you so" and "This pandemic was caused by Trump, Musk, MAGA, and DOGE".

It's coming. On Saturdays, I get to put on my conspiracy theory hat. My previous ones have all come true. I sure hope RFK, Jr is up to this deep state war.

The Trumpster keeps dropping shiny things for the Left to chase after. There are so many that it's got to be planned. I'm expecting bombshells dropping on Dems just before the midterms and their October surprises won't make the front page.

Most of them will probably not see the actual full footage. They will get a few 3-4 second clips of Trump being blunt, surrounded before and after by 15 minutes each of multiple panelists "interpreting" it as how horrible Trump and Vance are.

Yes, all of the above are in the deep state and including big pharma, NIH, CDC, FDA - all who hold keys to developing, releasing, and mandating treatments to screw up Trump's term. I think the next pandemic (and I have no doubt there will be one very soon) will be more virulent and dangerous to make Trump's 'no-mandates' policy cause the deaths of many people.

The government really screwed their reputation and trust with Americans and have to restore that at any cost.

I don't know how it is now, but when I was working for the government, we used an issued credit card for any purchases while on government ordered trips. We had to pay the card off within thirty days. We submitted a voucher for the expenses and the government decided what they would reimburse for. It was intended that we use it for fuel food and lodging. If we went to an expensive venue, we might only get a portion reimbursed.

I played it safe and never used mine.

Another blockbuster highlight report. My favorites were:

Item 11 - Gen. Flynn, who was set up by Comey, telling him 'what goes around comes around'. Remember Jimmy, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Item 13 - You can tell a lot about a person by how they spend company money while traveling on company business. Those Pentagon officials, if misusing government credit cards, should be fired asap. Where I worked, more people were fired for travel expense report abuse than any other reason.

Item 17 - Don, you give Bill Clinton too much credit for taste in women. Look who he married.

Item 26 - The UN is the mother of corrupt NGO's. The U.S. could save a lot of money by just getting out of this den of thieves once and for all and kick it and those third world faux diplomats out of NYC. As a side bonus, it would help relieve traffic congestion south of 60th St.
