BREAKING: Just released, the official results of the Arizona Senate Audit of the 2020 election. Some (not all) of the findings: • +255,000 early votes with no record • +23,000 voted by mail after moved from the state/county. • +23,000 double votes • +9,000 more mail in ballots received and recorded than official number of mail in ballots, • +50,000 counterfeit ballots • Dominion’s best friend • Katie Hobbs belongs in prison • Adrian Fontes is a criminal • And on Jan 6, United States Congress certified the overthrow of your government.

Over at Vox Day, regarding the British Bill Gates who died when his mega yacht sank due to a Waterspout – Journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested at Heathrow just two days before one man he was supposed to interview was killed in a car accident and five days before the other man was killed in a boating accident. Vox is on the same page as we are too : “As for the idea that a waterspout could be a man-made weapon, I remind you of my introversion of the famous Holmsian aphorism: due to the finite bounds of human knowledge, the impossible is always far more likely than the improbable.”

Boat makers say doors on the waterline of the boat must have been left open for it to sink, but experienced crews say those doors would never be left open by a crew as closing them when not in use is a procedure.

Weather data is strangely deleted for the time leading up to the sinking.

The “uncommitted voter” is an enduring political myth. They’re unicorns – people informed enough to vote on the issues, yet gullible enough to believe campaign promises.

Catering to imaginary voters just pulls resources from the rest of the campaign.

Harry Truman would never have made that mistake. Neither would Richard Daley, or Fiorello la Guardia, for that matter.

The fact that guys like Tate have such a large platform is evidence of cabal machinations.

There are tens of millions of young, and not so young, men eating up real talk about sexual dynamics, race realism, and the masculine virtues of self discipline and self mastery, but it inevitably gets fed to them by sleaze bags like Tate, as a way to muddy the waters and pollute the message.

I’m not going to watch that sausage eating video, but South Park called it a long time ago. There was an episode where the parents left the church over child molestation and became Atheists. Cartman wanted to prove he could reverse his digestive process and succeeded. Then it caught on, to the point where Martha Stewart prepared a turkey and ate it in reverse on her show. Eventually they came to their senses and started eating normally and going back to church.

South Park is prophesy. There is no amount of satire from the past that can keep up with the depravity of Clown World.

US v Tamori Morgan (federal district court rules full auto weapons covered under 2nd Amendment Bruen decision). Machineguns are back on the menu, boys.
.
Machineguns for whom?
.
The judge that made the ruling is a Trump appointment.
Who is Tamori Morgan?
He’s not one of us. He’s one of them.
A quick search found this below. Perhaps, we could find a picture of this dude. I think that would confirm my 10 minutes of searching.
.
https://www.kansas.com/news/local/education/article177533836.html
At this school, students with discipline records get a second chanceTHE FUTURE
Tamori Morgan is 15.
Unlike Maniah, he doesn’t want to go back to regular school. Instead, the ninth grader, who loves writing music and rapping, wants to stay at McAdams after he’s allowed to return to Wichita public schools in January. “I learn something new each day with these people here,” Tamori said. Tamori said the program has helped him become more mature, handle his anger and improve his school work. He used to be an honors student and thinks he might become one once again. When he returns to school, he’ll do so “with more confidence,” Tamori said. Tamori isn’t the only student who wants to stay at McAdams after expulsion or suspension ends. Knowles says there are others, but the crime prevention grant that funds the program covers only expelled or suspended students. Initially the grant was for $120,000; it now is $95,000. The rest of the school’s $125,000 annual budget comes from private donations. With the decrease in funding, the school has gone from meeting five days a week to four. If he had more money, Knowles said, he would hire more teachers, accept more students, and maybe start a classroom funded by private donations for students to remain at McAdams after their expulsion or suspension has ended.
.
News article is from OCTOBER 08, 2017.
It could be a different Tamori, but I doubt it. So let me get this straight……He shows up in some bullshit news article about him being “Rapping Honor Student” with “discipline issues” seven fucking years ago and then happens to be in the case to open the door for machinegun ownership in the US.
.
Economy is blown the hell. Regular people are struggling. Illegal immigrants are being handed $5K in EBT cash ($15K for food). There was another case about some illegal fucker and his gun rights awhile back. Now this shit, with some “future doctor” showing up in the news 7 years ago and now he’s the poster boy (gangbanger – black, discipline issues, rapper….do the math) for machinegun ownership?
.
They are training their foot soldiers.
They are funding their foot soldiers.
They are going to ARM their foot soldiers for maximum damage.
.
I just don’t believe all of these gun laws just disappear overnight right before the election. Especially, when it’s not some law abiding dude that got screwed over or some pro-2a company. It’s some wanna be gangsta rapper.

AT the link n Ukrain.

“…Another challenge for Ukraine is a new tactic in which Russia deploys recurrent waves of smaller infantry units of two to four men. That has flummoxed Ukrainian drone operators, who find it difficult to target them, according to a drone operator with the 25th Brigade who uses the call sign Groot.
“This is one of the main reasons for (Russia’s) success in Pokrovsk,” he said. “It’s harder to detect them,” especially under the cover of leafy trees.
“As soon as the infantry get under the tree lines, it’s really hard to get them out of there with drones, and that’s why we depend a lot on our infantry.”…”

I had some ideas a long time before the Ukrainian war. I told people here, and at another site, what was needed. Of course, I was called a buffoon. I was told by “a highly qualified defense equipment expert” what a fool I was. But now…

What’s needed is a sort of robot horse. A Walker kind of like star wars but built non-idiotic and to survive. They could be built cheaply. Like maybe the cost of a Tesla car or less. Look at these links and tell me, if they had 50,000 of these, how would the other side fair in a fight. They could haul ass, hide in the forest, have at least 12 hours of battery power so they would be quiet. The duck looking feet could be used to dig in like a backhoe very fast, and the slanted high sides would stop the fear of smaller land mines from spooking the troops because they would not disable them or hurt them.

These things could come in waves. Rush in, fire off, anti-tank, anti-bunker missiles while firing machine guns, maybe fire off some grenades. Burn their ammo up, turn around and rush off to resupply while the next wave hit. Small diesel engines could recharge the batteries on the way back to resupply. The noise wouldn’t matter after all the shooting.

If you really wanted to be crafty. Put cameras all around and train AI that drives the robot walker to run away from drones and dodge them. They would hard to hit. They would have some limited top armor so to kill them they would have to increase drone size, making them easier to see and dodge.

There is a similar robot used by the US military but it is mainly used to carry kit and for resupply. In order to survive in today’s battle space a more dispersed pattern has to be adopted. There is lots to learn from this war and the previous Azerbaijan/Armenia conflict, where Armenians got their arses handed to them thanks to Turkish drones.

Whilst Milgram”s obedience to authority experiment is certainly pertinent to help understand the covid situation, we should also be aware of the Stanford Prison Experiment which was held at the behest of the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence). The experiment was basically about the adoption of social roles. Students were separated into 2 groups, prisoners and guards. The experiment, by Philip Zimbardo, had to be cancelled after a few days as the guards became power mad sadists and the prisoners were extremely depressed.

Given the navy has it’s own prisons (brigs) there should have been no need to conduct such an experiment. I remember thinking, imagine this experiment applied to an entire society. This is exactly what happened during covid. For those who think I may be exaggerating, go on YouTube and type in tape measure Karen to see how the ‘guard’ mentality permeated society and the lengths some people will go to when they feel they have righteous justification to lord it over perceived ‘deviants.’

It occurred to me that Kiev has handed Putin an easy way to take the fight nuclear if he wants to. He can evacuate all the Russians out of western Kursk oblast (already in progress) and then start dropping tac nukes on the ukranian forces there.

> waterspout

I realized I didn’t know exactly what a ‘waterspout’ was, so I looked it up.

[from noaa.gov]
Waterspouts fall into two categories: fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.

Tornadic waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water, or move from land to water. They have the same characteristics as a land tornado. They are associated with severe thunderstorms, and are often accompanied by high winds and seas, large hail, and frequent dangerous lightning.

Fair weather waterspouts usually form along the dark flat base of a line of developing cumulus clouds. This type of waterspout is generally not associated with thunderstorms. While tornadic waterspouts develop downward in a thunderstorm, a fair weather waterspout develops on the surface of the water and works its way upward. By the time the funnel is visible, a fair weather waterspout is near maturity. Fair weather waterspouts form in light wind conditions so they normally move very little.

If a waterspout moves onshore, the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning

—————————————

So, basically a tornado, except it sucks up seawater instead of mobile homes and lawn furniture.

> Kamala Harris wants to boost taxes by $5 trillion.

Sure. That would work exactly like raising the minimum wage to $25/hr.

The Fed would collect more money, but the price of everything it tried to buy with it would go up proportionally.

Have you figured up how much tax you’re paying? Remember you’re paying tax multiple times on the same income; when you make it, if you invest it, just having things you bought with it, and when you spend it. Not to mention all the “excise” and oddball taxes.

In 1775, George III’s royal taxes on the Colonies was between 1% and 4%, depending on who does the figuring.

So far, the current Feral Government has done almost everything that the colonists were angry at George for. We now have a tyranny far worse than the one we fought a revolutionary war over.

> Machineguns are back on the menu, boys.

Many people are surprised to learn that much of the opposition for deregulating machine guns comes from gun collectors.

The Fed started charging a “transfer tax” on machine guns in 1934. That was $200, which is the equivalent of $4,700 today. Besides the tax, buyers had to go through a lengthy paperwork process, and eventually submit fingerprints and photographs. They’re also not allowed to cross state lines with them without a Federal permit. And possession of a machine gun not in “the registry” was a felony.

In 1986, the “Gun Owner’s Protection Act” (another misnamed act) closed the registry; no new machine guns can be created (it’s a felony) unless they’re for sale to the government. So when the supply of new machine guns stopped, everything became “collectible.” And some of those collectors have been *very* active in lobbying to protect their investment.

Just because someone is a gun owner doesn’t mean they support the Constitution or gun rights. Some of them are just as much dirtbags as any Democrat gun-grabber.

The Democrats hate Kennedy and Shanahan much worse then DJT. They’re apostates who have turned against the Cause.

Even if they managed to get elected, they’d face the same thing DJT did with the “NeverTrumpers” in the Federal bureaucracy, committed in writing to sabotage their administration any way they could.

K&S are anathema to the Democratic Party now; if they want to remain in politics, their only chance it to switch sides. And they’re probably very aware that DJT was a life-long Democrat until 2015, so he wouldn’t be likely to hold their change of heart against them.

> Labor dispute stops Canadian freight railroads and could cause major economic disruption in US.

Canada is 4700 miles wide, but effectively only 150 miles high, like a rubber band stretched across the top of North America. 90% of the Canadian population lives within 150 miles of the southern border.

Canada’s highway network isn’t much to brag about; it’s a railroad-oriented economy running east/west. If the railroads stop, Canada is in a world of hurt.

The US imports stuff from Canada, but there’s nothing we get from Canada we don’t already make, mine, or grow ourselves. It’s just a bit cheaper to source some things in Canada, and the beancounters are hired to shave every penny.

Prices in the US might go up a few percent without cheaper Canadian suppliers, but the likehood of “major economic disruption” is basically zero.

TL:DR; “major economic disruption in Canada”, yes. In the USA, not so much.

SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity could sink NY case against Trump.

This is an all-too-common telltale sign that evil, lawless scumbags are in charge. They violate the law in order to punish Trump. Then the “solution” offered is not to restore rule of law, but to guarantee that in the future, Cabal puppets can never be held accountable for anything they do.

The immunity ruling didn’t immunize the President for crimes, it actually made it easier to breach the De Facto immunity all Presidents have been given up until they tried to railroad Trump.

Presidential immunity is now only presumptive for official acts and only absolute for Core Constitutional powers that are not abused in an impeachable offense.

Regarding Presidential Immunity —for the first time in American history— the Supreme Court, solidly relying on a whole bunch of previous cases about related presidential issues, announced a brand-new three-tier immunity test:

Tier 1: Total Immunity for Constitutional Acts. “The President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.” This blessed tier is only for when a president exercises explicit authority under Article Two of the Constitution. Things like negotiating treaties, issuing pardons, and directing military operations. As you can imagine, this is a small, well-defined tier. [and doesn’t exempt High Crimes and Misdemeanors, taking a bribe to do any of the things covered is not covered]

Tier 2: Presumptive Immunity for Official Acts. The Court declared that “the President must be immune from prosecution for an official act unless the Government can show that applying a criminal prohibition to that act would pose no dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.” In short, if the President acts officially, as President, that act is immune—but a prosecutor can still proceed if they can show criminalizing that type of conduct will not hinder the Presidential office.
Tier Two answers the Democrats’ most deranged temper tantrums. Prosecuting Presidents who order the military to assassinate (i.e. murder) their opponents would not harm the Presidential office, because presidents are not supposed to murder people, and it wouldn’t hinder the Presidential office to criminalize murder. Duh.

Tier 3: No Immunity for Unofficial Acts. “The separation of powers does not bar a prosecution predicated on the President’s unofficial acts. The first step in deciding whether a former President is entitled to immunity from a particular prosecution is to distinguish his official from unofficial actions.” For example, the Court said a President has zero immunity when he acts as the leader of his political party, or when pursuing his personal interests.
Actually, assassinating political rivals would probably fall squarely under Tier 3 — enjoying no immunity at all.
As you can see, this three-tier system neither turns Presidents into kings —not Burger King, impotent King Charles, or Solomon— nor places presidents above the law. Certainly not Trump. The decision only resolved a couple of the worst counts in a single Trump case. As for the surviving counts involved in this particular appeal (Judge Chutkan’s case), the Supremes bounced most of the counts back down to her, to apply the new test and then get back to them.

Clueless, low-information Democrats are wailing that the Judges anointed a Presidential King by creating a three-tier test under which —wait for it— Presidents can be prosecuted for crimes. Democrats are acting like this is a revolutionary improvement of the Presidential position. But that, like nearly everything else partisan Democrats say, is a lie.
What was the rule before the Supreme Court issued its decision? Well, before Trump, no president was ever prosecuted for a crime. Not for droning an Iraqi wedding. Not for illegal wars. Not even for jaywalking or running lawn sprinklers on a Tuesday.
Presidential prosecutions never ever happened.
Don’t miss this: before Trump, presidents obviously enjoyed de facto total immunity. The unspoken rule that everyone followed was that nobody can prosecute the President, or even a former President.
During the period the de facto total immunity rule reigned, the Supreme Court never had to address Presidential immunity. There were no cases; that’s how absolute the immunity was. But now that the Court has crafted a de jure (legal) rubric, Presidents who do illegal things can be prosecuted. They can now be prosecuted much more easily, in fact. Just not for nuisance claims, like the creative, trumped-up claims brought against President Trump, such as for notating his check stubs wrong.

Let’s do a little thought experiment. Evidence shows President Obama was involved in the now-discredited Russia Dossier matter, which was used as a false predicate to spy on the Trump campaign for partisan political purposes. Evidence suggests Obama knew the Dossier was fake, purchased by the Clinton campaign. Yesterday’s new 3-tier test provides a clear procedure for prosecuting Obama for those very serious allegations.
In other words, the High Court incinerated de facto Presidential immunity, and replaced it with a clear de jure prosecutorial process. Former and future Presidents susceptible to more serious crimes than Trump’s are now fair game.
The irony! By bringing all these silly, creative claims against President Trump for keeping a few boxes of “classified documents,” and because his bookkeeper wrote the wrong thing on a check stub, the Supreme Court got an unprecedented opportunity to end forever the silent, implicit protection previously enjoyed by every other previous President. That de facto absolute immunity is gone, never to return.
And now it’s open season on serious crimes committed by Presidents.

If President Trump wins the election, this decision provides exactly the right tool his DOJ needs to prosecute the last twenty years of Presidential malfeasance and abuses of authority. It almost seems like Trump planned it this way. In hindsight, it couldn’t have gone any better for Trump in the big picture. When Trump’s DOJ brings its first charges against Biden and Obama, the media cannot wail about it being “unprecedented.” He’ll just be following the law.
Beyond those long-term benefits for President Trump, the decision also placed a massive granite capstone on out-of-control Presidential authority. All future Presidents, Trump included, must now consider potential criminal liability under the new Trump v. US standard. The new rule will make Presidents much more careful when acting outside their Constitutional authority, like when they mandate vaccine shots or something, just as a random example.
So … it’s not even so much that Trump won. The American People won.

De facto total presidential immunity will return as soon as the next Democrat president is in office: the two, even three, tiered ‘justice’ system will return with a vengeance.

RFK endorses Trump, and I felt a disturbance in the Farce, as if a million Democrat men angrily threw their dildos at the TV screen…

I saw a strange thing today. Some rebels were being arrested. One of them pulled the pin on a grenade. He took himself and the captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren’t.

What does that tell you?

Good god! I’ve had the week from hell. They’ve been slowly ramping it up, the “Beaming”. I’m running out of safe places to park. The truck stops are out, as are the rest areas. Some of my terminals are no longer safe. I’ve been trying the on and off ramps, but I made the mistake of not recognizing, “Plausible Deniability “. There has always been a tractor there to blame. But last night, in Wisconsin, I got run out off the state by the 5G towers. I was wondering why no trucks were parked on the on and off ramps in Wisconsin. Well, I found out, after 30 minutes of stopping, they start to beam you. You can move out of the range, but 30 minutes later, it starts again. I have been noticing that in all the truck stops now, there one or several trucks that are too loud. It seems to me that they are corralling all the trucks so that they can hit them all at once.

I hate everyone right now. The ones doing the beaming and the ones too stupid to notice. I’ve had my first zit in years, I guess it’s the MoneyPox! They are going to write me up for violating the Hours of Service, because I wouldn’t put up with it, I moved each time. I quit! It’s coming fast now, you’ve been warned. Those cell towers are weapons as I experienced yesterday.

Yes, with all the activity that I have been seeing these last few weeks. Those were my exact sentiments. It feels like they are losing.

In Wisconsin, it is illegal for trucks to park along the on, and off ramps. That’s why you don’t see them doing it.

I am not discounting any beaming you may have been receiving.
