With the caveat that you can believe less than 10% of what you hear....
Clearly, Putin favors the election of Trump!! Finally, after 8 years, the Democrats are right!!

BREAKING:   President Putin states that he considers Donald Trump's plan to end the war with Ukraine very seriously and that Russia supports it....
From Wauck's place.
You've heard that Trump wants to be a "dictator", right?
That line, as Trump explained later, was meant to highlight Trump's Day One priorities: drill for oil and gas, and closing the border. Politifact has the dialog. But Trump being Trump, he made Hannity badger him about it.
So Trump will "dictate" closing the border and drilling for oil and gas.
As to Sponge-Brain-Shits-Pants' "joke"........well, the context was made clear immediately!
...In response to a question about his health from Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, the 81-year-old said that all was fine with him except for his “brain.”
“It’s just my brain,” Biden told Green, which at least one governor took as a serious comment that left them confused, the NYT reported. At least three others in the room apparently said they interpreted the comment as a joke.
“He was clearly making a joke,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign chair, told the NYT, adding that he said “all kidding aside” after the comment....
Maybe.
And maybe this is the first time Biden told the truth in the last 50 years or so.
Politico offers analysis on the Biden problem.
...Meanwhile, deep-pocketed donors are starting to organize to push Biden out of the race in what NYT’s Ken Vogel, Teddy Schleifer and Lauren Hirsch call “a remarkable and growing rift between the party’s contributor class and its standard-bearer that could have an impact on down-ballot races.”
Some donors are trying to raise what’s essentially a $100-million escrow fund that will be used to bankroll a Biden replacement, the trio scooped. Others are threatening not to give to Democrats until their party leader steps aside, including an heir to the Disney fortune, ABIGAIL DISNEY, who told the Times the Biden campaign and groups that support him “will not receive another dime from me until they bite the bullet and replace Biden at the top of the ticket.”...
So, as Belling suggested early this week, who actually "nominates" the Democrat candidate? The "contributing class" or the primary voters? Even though many (most?) Democrat voters have fallen out of love with Biden, don't they get a say in a replacement?
Yes, that "contributor class" thing affects both sides. It's reported that one donor offered Trump $100 million. We can assume that that donor has a few ideas about how things should be done in the Middle East. Are her ideas consonant with those of the typical Trump voter?
Hmmmmmmm......
A few days ago we published a post asking if France's elections foreshadow those here in November.\
The Last Refuge points to other ominous parallels.
... In the USA, Democrats enjoy the activity of their foot soldiers in Antifa (Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or RevCom etc.) In France, the Democrats (NPF), within Macron’s camp, enjoy the activity of Black Bloc (the EU Antifa socialists and communists)....
...The French political manipulators (like Samantha Power) are repeating all the familiar moves – like putting agent provocateurs on the streets, people dressed in Nazi uniforms – to give the appearance of the nationalists as a “right-wing” extremist group. The Canadian political manipulators did the same thing during the Trucker rally, and the USA version of the same people created the optics for J6. It’s all the same playbook....
The nationalist/rightist party stands a good chance to gain an absolute majority in the Assembly. In preparation for that....
...The French interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, said some 30,000 police will be deployed across France late on Sunday following the second round of elections to ensure there is no trouble....
If those police are governed by the same sorts who govern the FBI, the nationalist/rightist voters will be maced, beaten, and thrown in jail------next door to the J6 political prisoners, so to speak.
Politicians usually speak in very guarded terms and--of course--with forked tongues.
Trump is emphatically NOT a politician. He says what he thinks.
That's a good thing.
He's right about Biden and Kammy, although it remains to be seen if Jill actually allows Joe to quit.
Substitute a few words here and there, and Cal Coolidge had something to say to Pp. Franny 1.
...It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. ... No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient....
In the context of the Church, we could say "more Luciferian..."
You get the idea.
Jefferson's complete quote on the Constitution, the first part of which is usually excised by "conservatives," and the last part of which is vilified or memory-holed by "liberals."
Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other....
Huh.
HAPPY FOURTH!!
Recently, about half of America's car dealers learned that a centralized system run by "experts" can be a time bomb which goes off unpredictably.
No, we're not talking about CDK.
We're talking about CDC and Covid.
But CDK is a parallel.
Senator Tammy Baldwin (Do-Nothing/WI) will not be seen with Joe Biden on the campaign trail.
This despite the fact that Tammy (Bump-on-a-Log/WI) has voted with Biden at a NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT rate.
We think Eric Hovde should make certain that voters know about Tammy and Joe's mutual affections.
How very Progressive!!
A UW-Madison researcher has taken several millions in grant money from Bill Gates (the humanoid version of the 'blue screen of death') to create gain-of-function on the Bird Flu.
And that researcher, Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, has succeeded!
What we've always needed is a cocktail of the Bird Flu with Spanish Flu! Also a mixer with the seasonal flu!
Allows the virus to colonize and develop in lungs of humans!
Just in time for a visit from President Biden.
Really, Your Excellency?
...Edward Burke, 80, was sentenced June 24 to two years in prison, after he was convicted on 13 counts of racketeering, bribery, and extortion — in charges that the longtime alderman lined up public funds for companies which paid off his law firm, shook down public contractors to do business with his firm, accepted a bribe for a federal program contract, and threatened the Chicago Field Museum with opposing a fee increase measure when it failed to help him place a son’s friend in an internship.
Prosecutors, calling Burke “greedy,” and insisting that he had not shown “a single ounce of remorse,” initially asked federal judge Virginia Kendall to sentence the politician to 10 years in federal prison....
Those are the crimes that were easy to prove. There were a lot more.
So what does +Listecki have to say?
...Archbishop Listecki, who wrote that Burke was “a man dedicated to the common good” with a commitment to “charitable generosity.”
Listecki, who served as a Chicago auxiliary bishop from 2001 until 2004, wrote that he had got to know Burke “when I was a priest and auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago.”
“He and his family were always involved with various charities and supportive of the many civic events,” the archbishop wrote in a March 25 letter.
“I was always impressed by his families [sic] involvement in the Church both locally and nationally,” Listecki added, in a letter he called a “plea for leniency.”...
Excellency, this cretin effectively stole money from contractors and Chicago taxpayers. You call that being "dedicated to the common good"?
Or are you playing games by indirectly trying to justify Catholic Charities' abuse of Catholic moneys to import criminals, sex traffickers, human slavery traffickers, rapists, thugs, and thieves by whitewashing the activity as "social justice" and "common good"?
Inquiring minds, and all that, Excellency.
Even Musk can't take Kammy's lies. He called her out on this one--which happens to be the substance of a Biden-backing ad which is running about every 5 minutes in the Milwaukee market. See Musk's remarks at the link.....
The Pope expresses sympathy:
...He said that many others face “white glove” martyrdom, a term that he has used since the early years of his pontificate to indicate a subtle form of persecution through which Christians are driven away, marginalized, and discriminated against...
Like the persecution of those who attend the Tridentine Rite Mass?
The more you know, the more HORRIBLE the Milwaukee situation.
Latest on the public schools? The State will deduct $42+ million from their aid package this year. That's for past overpayments based on MPS' HORRIBLE accounting.
And another $40 million will be deducted from this year's payment because of the same HORRIBLE accounting.
What did DPI Secretary Underly know, and when did she know it?
She says she only knew for a couple of months. Uh-huh. MPS was scheduled for a $600 MILLION state-aid payment and we're talking about $80 MILLION in "mistakes."
To most normal people, that's real money. Think Underly is--perhaps--mis-remembering something?
(A neutron bomb kills the people but leaves the building standing.)
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion to Monday’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity questioning the constitutionality of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment, suggesting not only is the office invalid but Smith cannot legally hold it....
Yah, well, there's a long list of what Jack Smith cannot legally do besides that, such as tampering with evidence, planting evidence, piercing attorney-client privilege.......
Face it: Jack Smith is the opposite side of the Nancy Pelosi mask.
The hair-on-fire Liar's Club bunch reacts to the SCOTUS immunity decision.
Extremist elements of the left have essentially argued that the president can now order the assassination of Americans...
Precisely what Obama did.
Well, not really. The 16-y-o killed was collateral damage.
But somehow, Marc Elias et.al. missed that thing about Obama. Huh.
Pinocchio Joe's "Bidenomics" campaign failed.
Pinocchio Joe's "Trump is a felon" campaign failed.
So now he's on campaign #3: "Trump, Insurrectionist!!"
Good luck with that, you miserable dog-face never-soldier liar.
In another piece of the "insurrection" puzzle, we learn this:
...the men Biden referenced who erected a gallows allegedly to hang Pence are not among the hundreds at the Capitol on January 6 who have been identified, despite being clearly captured on video....
The reason the FBI "can't" ID these guys is the same reason the FBI "can't" ID the man who "placed explosives" at the RNC and DNC headquarters buildings on J6: those people are operatives of the Deep State. May be FBI, may be CIA, may be NSA, or may be just a hired hand of Washington's very own Marbas: Nancy Pelosi.
The Right is doing extremely well in the French snap election. There will be a second round next Sunday to determine final national assembly seats--but the Left-ish party of Macron is already in deep doo-doo.
So......
Tens of thousands of left-wing rioters take to the streets of France causing chaos.
Stores are being looted as activists set fire to the streets, launching fireworks, tear gas and smoke grenades after the results of the French election....
What happens here when Trump demolishes Pinocchio Joe?
We all knew about this a decade ago.
Businesses building electric vehicle charging stations say that finding enough electricity is a major -- perhaps fatal -- problem.
Of the 211 developers surveyed by Xendee, a California-based software company, 75% said that electric grid limitations are among the biggest roadblock to building EV charging infrastructure. The total cost of the infrastructure was a problem for 63% of the respondents, and permitting delays were cited by 53% of those surveyed. ...
An indirect sign of the same problem is the reluctance of school bus companies to jam their fleets with EV's. Their terminals simply do not have the heavy-duty electrical feeds from the utilities to ram high-amp charges into the buses.
While it has not yet affected ordinary consumers who have an EV, it will become a problem if everybody on the block buys one and they all try to charge up at the same time.
Especially if they're relying on windmills and sun-catchers to provide the juice.
When even the far-left Snopes hedges its bets, there's reason to use caution. In this case, it was the "suckers and losers" story. But does Fox6 go prudent and mention the Snopes entry?
Hell, no!
Here's the pertinent part of the Fox6 story
...The story, written by Jeffrey Goldberg on Sept. 3, 2020, reported that Trump belittled soldiers killed when the then-president canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, France, in 2018.
Goldberg reported that Trump spoke with senior staff members the morning of the scheduled visit....
Here's the Snopes commentary:
...there appeared to be no evidence of an audio or video recording of the remarks in question, nor was there any documentation, such as transcripts or presidential notes, to independently confirm or deny the alleged quotes' authenticity. Moreover, since Snopes did not witness the in-question comments firsthand, we can't say for certain whether Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers."...
Amusing that the Lying Left's favorite phrase, for the Election Fraud of '20 ("No evidence") is used here to put into question the assertion of a far-left writer writing for an ultra-far-left rag.
The only person who SEEMS to claim those were Trump's words is the disgraced (and fired) Gen. Kelly. Snopes has this to say about that:
...Kelly, who was with Trump in Paris, confirmed that Trump did call American troops "losers" and "suckers," though it was unclear whether he witnessed the comments firsthand or heard about them from someone else, or from news reports....
That's a very polite way to say "He could be lying like Hell."
Do better, Fox6.
