It’s Tuesday. There are 273 days until the midterm elections. A reprieve in Springfield, a note to Texas Democrats and Epstein’s best friend wants us all to move on.
Border Control Corruption Is Far Worse Than You Think

Garrett Graff: “U.S. law enforcement has never experienced a scandal as big, as far-reaching, destructive, and as far-lasting as the wave of corruption and criminality that has overtaken CBP and the Border Patrol since 2005. It’s a story that too much of the public still doesn’t know and too many policymakers still don’t understand…”
“Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink.”
I totally agree about Texas. When I saw Jasmine Crockett was running against Talarico I thought WTF. It looked like he had some good traction going. As you wrote it's the last thing we need is infighting. Especially by people are actually fighting for us. I hope it doesn't get ugly. And I wish I had a dollar for every time I said WTF.
The Dem primary is next month; in the current news cycle, any “attack ads” - which I suspect are funded by rich R’s- will be forgotten. I thought Allred had announced he wasn’t running. If he is, he deserves to lose, I certainly won’t support him in another primary. His campaign against Ted Cruz was full of stupid unforced errors the final month, he failed to address the number one concern of Texans, affordability. Cruz’s campaign was full of the usual lies, so his shift to centrist positions was doomed to fail.
Nevertheless, we keep up the pressure.They want to "break us", according to some protesters - they are unbreakable, fearless, and damn strong..because they keep showing up despite the illegal actions those ICEA GOONS commit. Keep recording everything. There is no way to get out of that jam being recorded.
Is dumbass MarkWayne going to drive from OK to DC? Does that dipshit not realize he WORKS in a blue city surrounded by blue states. Is he gonna land in SC or OH and drive the rest of the way? I mean I know OK is last in education, but isn't there someone smarter than this guy to elect to the Senate from OK?
I'm pretty sure that whole "Alternative Super Bowl Halftime Show" is just Kid Rock wearing different outfits and pretending to be all the other "performers."
Hey Angie, Maybe because he's Jewish and a DEM, he thinks if he plays ball with the Nazi's they won't throw him in an Ice facility. I mean seriously...
They actually tried to torch him and his family in their home. And God only knows how many death threats his family has received. sigh...
If the federalization is done and the elections rigging takes place, you can count on real physical Civil War with many targets. Book it. The Administration and FBI have BROKEN the chain of custody with the ballots. Aside from hauling in the Russian and Syrian asset; to explain, the lawsuits hopefully on the chain of custody will be challenged. God only knows what they will do, including targeting undocumented (that cannot vote)
Ms. Guthrie's disappearance is weird; why would someone kidnap this woman? Her house is like three miles from me, close to where my boy attended elementary school. The helicopters were out in force all day Sunday, clearly search & rescue units. This time of year, we assume it's for lost hikers in the nearby mountains; we are so sorry there appears to be evidence of force involved. According to local news, all her valuables were left: wallet, cell, car, so not a robbery. Hoping she is soon found and returned to her family safe and sound.
Trump is an idiot savant. He's an idiot because he seems completely unaware of how obviously foolish and ludicrous he is. Come on, the guy can't even keep Iceland and Greenland straight on the world-wide stage. I mean, how can he criminalize immigrants, when he's married two. And how can he question the integrity of an election that he's clearly lost, when it's been investigated and recounted ad nauseam. Because he's a brilliant grifter. He promoting ideas that dumbfucks can't figure out are clearly impossible, like nationalizing an election. The Constitution clearly says feds have no say in how states conduct elections. According to Barbara McQuaid, it would take no less than a Constitutional amendment to change that. Congress can't even pass a spending bill or enforce their power of the purse or war powers let alone a Constitutional amendment. So, it all boils down to paying attention (thank you, alt media for help with that) speaking up, and showing up both on the streets and at the polls.
Trump has always been a Russian asset; they bought the 2016 election for him through social and legacy media. Which is why he used the DOJ under Bill Barr to suppress the Mueller report, Pat Cippione to ignore congressional subpoenas, etc. The Republican Party (with few exceptions) showed their hand in 2018 when a delegation spent the Fourth of July in Russia. The billionaire class hit the jackpot with Trump 1.0, just imagine if the Covid pandemic hadn’t hit. We’d be where were are right now.

This is another reason I like the comment sections. Great for learning about new sources of truth in reporting. Thanks Neil.
I started receiving Mr. Graff’s newsletter. That man knows his stuff.
Thank you. I am following now.
How shocking. Especially that organizations given free rein since the knee jerk reactions to 9/11 would go bad.
Wow!

I know, amirite? We'd be rich LOL!
They are FRIENDS. Don't read stuff into that. They both have addressed that TOGETHER. With both running we have a better chance of landing a Dem.
She should stay in congress! She’s a powerful voice there!!
NO. We NEED her where she's going.

Yeah, Fetterman will be gone at the end of his term, and Shapiro is tanking his chance to be president.
Oh and I'm guessing Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood turned down TPUSA - even they didn't want anything to do with that shit show.
Exactly. That’s why there’s just one washed up hack and several no-names
More like they all wanted to be headliner.
There will be no more fair elections.
LIKE HELL THEY'RE WON'T BE.
LOOK at how many st taking to the streets. Look at the other countries doing the same for US.
There are 90+ year olds protesting at ICE data offices in Vermont. And they have pushed a change by their local government.
And then one must ask, how many of these ICE data tracking offices are there and where are they?!
Bless those 90 yr olds. ICE is expanding rapidly.
Nevertheless, we keep up the pressure.They want to "break us", according to some protesters - they are unbreakable, fearless, and damn strong..because they keep showing up despite the illegal actions those ICEA GOONS commit. Keep recording everything. There is no way to get out of that jam being recorded.
Yep! I started protesting during the Vietnam nam era and won’t stop til we get this orange brigade of dirtbags out of office!
TY Chrissy. ✊✊
Vietnam era I was a clueless 10 yr old. Lol
This is just a love letter to you guys. You make the horror show palatable. Thank you.
I fucking love you sexy bitches. Keep it turned up to eleven.

I'm pretty sure that whole "Alternative Super Bowl Halftime Show" is just Kid Rock wearing different outfits and pretending to be all the other "performers."
Hope he loses his drawers during one of his costume changes! Will reveal what we already know!
Cheers to a cup of tea at your tea party!! Love you guys! You are the one note of fun in all this insanity. Keep up the good work.
Shapiro gives a good speech, but he's a poser. He wants to be Obama. He ain't the one.

“…he’s a cheating motherfucker. Just ask any of his wives or kids or caddies.”
Ya’ know, I wonder if his caddies have to sign an NDA. The shit those people must hear! Seriously. Please write a book, caddies!
Have you read “Commander in Cheat”. Should have been required reading in MAGA land.

Thanks for the recommendation!
And the shit they see!
Probably quite literally.
thank you guys! This is a must- read every day. You are helping us all learn and cope each day. Well done!
Ms. Guthrie's disappearance is weird; why would someone kidnap this woman? Her house is like three miles from me, close to where my boy attended elementary school. The helicopters were out in force all day Sunday, clearly search & rescue units. This time of year, we assume it's for lost hikers in the nearby mountains; we are so sorry there appears to be evidence of force involved. According to local news, all her valuables were left: wallet, cell, car, so not a robbery. Hoping she is soon found and returned to her family safe and sound.
Does anyone think that ICE doesn’t have her? They don’t care about criminals, it’s all about revenge.
I was real worried about that with Guthrie being a reporter. I won't count them out until they find out what happened.
Trump is an idiot savant. He's an idiot because he seems completely unaware of how obviously foolish and ludicrous he is.

We can do this.
Trump has always been a Russian asset; they bought the 2016 election for him through social and legacy media. Which is why he used the DOJ under Bill Barr to suppress the Mueller report, Pat Cippione to ignore congressional subpoenas, etc. The Republican Party (with few exceptions) showed their hand in 2018 when a delegation spent the Fourth of July in Russia.

This regime is like watching an endless loop of the Twilight Zone.
