The Epstein distraction wheel is slowing down…and it looks like the pointer is going to stop on “Invade Venezuela”.
What’s the next distraction aimed at everyone calling for the full and complete release of all Epstein tapes and files?
Spin the wheel:
Invasion of Venezuela?
Of Columbia?
Destruction of the rest of the White House?
Place your bets. (But only in approved bitcoin.)

The saying “America is going off the rails” doesn’t begin to describe what has happened.
The train has left the tracks completely because the engineer doesn’t know how to get to the destination or make the engine work, babbling nonsense while pulling levers as though working a slot machine.

On the old peasant’s diet now and for the immediate future until (if ever) SNAP is reinstated: water, lots of potatoes with a little bit of butter, carrots, the very occasional egg, with chewing gum as a snack.

Interesting parallel between Hitler’s obsession with wrecking Berlin’s capital buildings and replacing them with absurdly grotesque and outsized versions, proclaiming they would last 1,000 years, and Trump’s destruction of the White House and addition of a arch celebrating his grotesque ego.

To the men and women proclaiming their faith while employed in ICE: when you die and stand before God to be judged, what will you say about what you did, and how will you justify it?
More importantly, what to you think God will answer in return?

ANTIFA is not an organization; it is simply an individual who refuses to yield to fascist tyranny.
My father was a Marine who fought Nazis and their allies during the Second World War.
My maternal uncle was a parachute infantryman who did the same.

For all citizens aged 18 to 36, be prepared to deal with the reimposition of the notorious Selective Service Act, the military draft that for generations has been used to punish young political dissidents and those regarded as socially unruly.
Draft boards are often extremely ruthless about this.

Mango Mussolini returns to his gold-plated palace in Washington and continues his plans for gladiatorial games on the ruins of a beautiful garden, babbling about non-existent diplomatic achievements, insisting that everything is just peachy-keen. Madness.

The Federal legislation passed this morning, taken in its entirety, is one of the most damaging set of policies ever inflicted on this nation, excepting only the ones maintaining slavery, and the ones reinforcing the attempted obliteration of Native Americans. Absolute total disgrace.

Advice for resisters:
Be constantly aware of your surroundings, not only for those wishing to harm you directly, but also for the presence of agents provocateurs.
The use of the latter is an old tactic used by oppressive governments, including this one.
