    Anyone Fancy War

    Newcomers to the UK are housed in four-star hotels and many of them in accommodation built for our fighting men and women while countless numbers of our veterans, many struggling with PTSD, are homeless and ignored on the streets they gave so much to defend.’

    From the Comments:

    – I was once willing to give my life for what I believed this country stood for. Today, I would give my life to protect my family from what this country has become.

    – The enemy is not abroad, it’s in your parliament!

    – I’m a veteran but would never pledge allegiance to the woke King Charles III and his shite government

    – It is amazing that a parasitical global elite of just a few thousand people can do so much harm to the rest of us with so little resistance. This strange time will baffle future historians.

    -I am a homeless veteran living in a van without mot and I for one would rather fight my government than fight for them.

    Witch-hunt: E. Jean Carroll

    1/
    I hadn’t followed this case or paid much attention for it. As I understand, it was a sexual allegation case by a woman named E. Jean Carroll against Trump.

    Trump says he had never met the woman. But:
    Giuliani says: It was sexual assault, not rape.
    Work that out – sexual assault is okay. And it can happen if the accused person says he has not met the accuser.The case ended with Trump having to pay Carroll $5 million.

    Most people in this situation will be advised by their lawyers to keep their mouths and opinions shut in public. If you are in your home with trusted people, go ahead and spew your anger and say what you want. But, sadly, Trump can’t keep his mouth shut or his thumbs off his phone. So he said what shouldn’t have been said and ended with a defamation case. The verdict last week: he has to pay Carroll $83 million + other damages.

    Sounds over-the-top and excess amounts for a defamation case.
    So how did this happen?

    Con Inc media and grifting influencers will be telling you how unfair and unjust it is. And if you only read these sites that view Trump as god, you will believe that it is a witch-hunt against an innocent man, a victim. But if you want the truth, try to read other sites as well. The lefties will say that Trump is the villain. Read more and you will find the facts in between the two sides.

    I watched a video with this explanation.
    The most important people in a courtroom are not the lawyers, prosecutors, victim, spectators etc. The most important people are the 12 members of the jury.

    The jury members are paying close attention to what is taking place in the courtroom. They are listening to what is said and done and how the people involved behave and react. Good lawyers will coach and warn their clients on every possible situation/question and advise them on how and what they say and do.

    Did Trump have a lawyer capable of dealing with this case?
    And would he listen to any advice given to him?

    He believes he is above everyone and doesn’t have to care about what he says or does. His Maga followers will bow to him and applaud him no matter what. The rest of the world doesn’t work that way.

    How did Alina Habba get selected to represent Trump for this case? For her legal skills?

    Habba LITERALLY said this to Judge Kaplan on her first day in court for the E. Jean Carroll trial!!

    What did she get paid?

    Alina Habba’s Firm Has Been Paid Over $3.5M by Trump PACs

    Attorney Alina Habba’s firm has been paid millions by former President Donald Trump’s political donors to defend him in court, data from the Federal Election Commission shows.

    A Newsweek analysis of FEC records found that between February 2022 and June 2023, Habba’s New Jersey law firm, Habba Madaio & Associates LLP, received $3,586,350 from Save America and Make America Great Again PAC, two Trump-aligned political action committees.

    This is Feb 2022 – June 2023, we don’t know what adds up in the seven months after.

    Following the verdict, Maga was full of praise for Habba who was treated so badly in the courtroom defending the god etc etc etc. Habba posed for photos which got tweeted and retweeted in Maga world.

    Then Habba alleged a connection between Carroll’s lawyer and the judge.
    Less than two hours later:

    Alina Habba Backs Down Fast After Threat of Sanctions

    After E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan filed a scathing letter with the court this morning ripping Alina Habba’s frivolous and false allegations that Judge Kaplan mentored her over 30 years ago, Habba responded with a letter saying she would like to just forget the whole thing.

    Easy to throw out allegations. Except when they backfire.

    What’s happening now?

    Magadonians
    Habba was their hero until yesterday. Now she is the villain.
    But they will never blame the one who should be blamed.

    And what about the god?
    It’s always someone else who is at fault.

    Do I take it that you believe her story and the verdict?

    I have not followed the case and the details. I do not have enough info to make a judgement. Carroll may be telling the whole truth, she may be lying totally, or there may be parts that are true and parts that are false.

    The case I have laid out is not about Carroll.

    Trump and Maga are calling it a witch-hunt and blaming everyone else. Sure, it is in New York and the decks may have been stacked against him. There may be jury members and judges who are left-leaning.

    But, say, it was a similar case of a Conservative man facing this accusation. If the client had a good legal team and followed their advice, it would have played out differently. He should have left it to his lawyers to handle it and kept out of it. At least publicly. He wouldn’t have ended up with the defamation cases and the $83 million payout.

    The jurors could have had doubts about Carroll’s testimony. But watching the drama from Trump and his team – in the courtroom, outside it, on social media, plus the deposition – would have changed their minds.

We are under attack not so much for the particular things we say or do but simply for wanting to be free, for wanting to be able to think through our lives, and for wanting our lives to be the products of our own choices.

Often this research was ignored by institutional policymakers. Occasionally it was even attacked. It is a sad state of affairs when something as simple as following the science constitutes an act of heresy, but here we are.

    The main Democratic super PAC supporting President Biden’s re-election bid, Future Forward, is beginning this week to reserve $250 million in advertising across the most important battleground states, a blitz that it says is the largest single purchase of political advertising by a super PAC in the nation’s history.

    The ads, which are to be split between $140 million on television and $110 million on digital and streaming platforms, will start the day after the Democratic National Convention concludes in August and will run through Election Day, the super PAC said.

    – This teacher seems to be going beyond teaching critical thinking, into deprogramming from a pervasive herd mentality. His skill is in giving the student room to reason without feeling attacked

The report says that Biden has ‘grown suspicious’ of Netanyahu as the war continues, and says that Biden’s fear is that “Netanyahu is eager to drag the U.S. into a wider war in the Middle East.”

    Israel trying to drag the US into a wider war?

    What an outrageous slur against Israel!

    Israel can defend herself! Ben Shapiro told us.

    Witch-hunt: Dems against Trump
    Persecution by Dems, Legal matters, Election interference, ballots etc

    (I want to complete this series on witch-hunts, today.)

    This comment refers to the general category of witch-hunts that Trump claims have been against him.

    It doesn’t need much explanation. It is the Dems who have been making allegations against Trump, issuing indictments, interfering in the election process, trying to keep him off the ballot.

    Trump ramps up attacks on the justice system when trials and key rulings loom, analysis shows

    The posts generally portray Trump as the victim of a Democratic scheme designed to derail his presidential bid, with an array of judges and prosecutors working against him at the behest of President Joe Biden, and all part of a partisan “witch hunt,” a term he used about 250 times during that time period.

    Now, we see that the witch-hunts (or the claims of them) against Trump come from the Democrats or the left-side. We can say that these are untrue, not fair, unjust, interference and so on.

    But the ones instigating the hunt are on the Dem side. They are the political enemy of the GOP and they are doing what they can, by fair means or foul, to win. May not be the right thing to do, but at least they are doing it to their “enemy” on the other side of the political divide.

    Witch-hunt: Within the GOP

    Recall those attempts being made by Dems to get Trump off the ballots?
    In March last year, Trump’s allies accused DeSantis of violating state law. The purpose was to get him off the ballot.

    A Pro-Trump Group Files an Ethics Complaint Against DeSantis

    MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump, filed a complaint with Florida officials on Wednesday, alleging that Mr. DeSantis — the former president’s chief potential rival for the Republican Party’s 2024 nomination — is operating a shadow presidential campaign.

    The super PAC said that Mr. DeSantis should be considered a presidential candidate because he has taken meetings with donors, raised money for a political committee and toured the country to sell books, while allies are reaching out to potential campaign aides.

    “Governor DeSantis’s failure to declare his candidacy is no mere oversight,” reads the MAGA Inc. complaint to the Florida Commission on Ethics. “It is a coordinated effort specifically designed for him to accept, as unethical gifts, illegal campaign contributions and certain personal benefits.”

    The pro-Trump super PAC, which sent the complaint via certified mail on Wednesday, is asking the state commission to impose “the most severe penalties” under Florida ethics law, which include, among other things, impeachment, removal from office, public censure and ballot disqualification. NBC News earlier reported on the complaint on Wednesday.

    May 3, 2023
    Trump PAC complaint against DeSantis rejected in Florida

    A Florida ethics board has dismissed a complaint that allies of former President Donald Trump filed against Republican rival Gov. Ron DeSantis, finding no legal basis for allegations that the governor violated campaign finance laws with a “shadow” run for the White House.

    What is more despicable?
    The Dems scheming to get someone from the opposite side off the ballot?
    or
    Someone from the GOP, your own side, trying to get you off the ballot?

    Either we accept that this is what happens in election campaigns (which means we don’t complain about Dems interference) or we speak out about where the lines should be drawn and what is acceptable or not.

    – DeSantis having an affair with Emerald Robinson (who was prepared to take legal action as she has never met RDS) while Casey was undergoing cancer treatment.

    – DeSantis was also supposed to be having an affair with Kim Reynolds around the time that her husband was diagnosed with cancer.

    – Allegations that DeSantis was responsible in some way for his sister’s death

    – The c-word used to describe Casey

    – Casey faked her cancer to get sympathy votes

    Until around September 2022, DeSantis was this great governor of Florida. Then, because he didn’t bow down and give Trump what he wanted, RDS was put on the black list. And so did his Magadonians.

    Just a few days before the election in November 2022, when DeSantis was focussed on his re-election not the Presidency, Trump started on his petty attacks with the nickname DeSanctimonius. He didn’t care that the party he belongs to needed to win the election in Florida, he couldn’t place the party over his own need for revenge; he would probably have been glad if the GOP lost Florida. Without this party, he wouldn’t have had the privilege of becoming the President of the US.

    When RDS “endorsed” him last month due to the pledge he had signed, Trump claimed that the nickname would now be retired. It was like a school yard bully who will kick up trouble until he gets his way.

    Trump has been endorsed by many politicians and Con Inc media for 2024. Not because they like him or think he is the best choice. It is because they are afraid of the backlash from Trump and by extension from the Maga cult.

Once approved by the 2/3 of the World Health Assembly, the Pandemic Treaty will go to our Senate for ratification and will need 2/3 of the votes to be implemented. It goes into effect one month after the 40th Member State signs on and it cannot be abandoned until one year has passed. This process of “officially leaving” will then take 24 months.

    The Pandemic Agreement/Treaty draft is intended to support the bureaucracy, financing, and governance to underpin the expanded IHR. The draft IHR amendments would lay out new powers for the WHO during health emergencies and broaden the context within which they can be used.

    Kremlin confirms Carlson has interviewed Putin

    Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US journalist Tucker Carlson on Tuesday for an interview, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a daily media briefing on Wednesday. The American had announced the imminent release of the footage hours earlier.

    The Russian official declined to say when exactly the public will be able to see the interview and would not comment on its contents. He noted that being an American, Carlson was neither pro-Russian nor pro-Ukrainian in terms of his attitude to the Ukraine conflict, which is expected to be the focus of the interview.

    Nonetheless, Peskov pointed out that the interviewer’s position contrasts with the one that dominates Western media, which is why the Kremlin had granted his request. The Kremlin spokesman added, however, that Carlson is wrong when he claims that Western news outlets haven’t bothered to seek an interview with the Russian leader.

    Western mainstream media cannot claim “even the appearance of impartiality” on Ukraine and “all have a one-sided position,” Peskov explained. Moscow has “no desire” to communicate with them and doubts that anything good would come out of it, he said.

    Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that Carlson will likely publish his production on Tuesday, citing “people familiar with the matter.”

    Carlson has vowed that his talk with Putin will be released uncut on his streaming platform and will not be paywalled …

    The Council recognises the long history of Jews who have been critical of the State of Israel and its policies. Antisemitism is the hatred of Jewish people as Jews, it is not antisemitic to criticise Israel’s military actions or support Palestinian freedom and human rights.

    I’ve been welcome all along,

    That we should be ashamed,

    Don’t acknowledge me to my own land,
    Because it’s in this place that I grew,
    Don’t welcome to me my own country,
    Cuz’ I am loyal and true,

    I am welcome,
    And I’ll always be, welcome,

    Yeah you said it once, you said it twice,
