    Thomas Massie
    Tribute to his wife

    This was sad news. I’d just watched a really interesting interview of him on Tucker Carlson, and it was lovely the way he spoke of his wife and family and the home they’d built. I thought it was understandable that people wondered about the timing and circumstances.

    Yes. And Psalm 146:3. The mistake is to idolise anyone. Especially once you get a sense of just how much what’s presented to us is controlled, to fit a narrative.

    Don Lemon asks a question.
    He gets told the truth but thinks it is an opinion.

    He laughed at the idea of Christianity being the most persecuted religion in the world, after claiming to be a Christian himself.

    This early interview of Candace Owens is interesting, if only to see just how much her views have evolved. Interviewer Dave Rubin (also “married” to a man, and apparently no longer on such friendly terms with her since her falling out with Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire).

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSAoitd1BTQ

    Back then she said she wasn’t really religious and supported “gay marriage”. The best indication of her future staunch Christian persona was her astute opinion on Planned Parenthood. How are we to know how much of what she said then was due to her being a relative novice keen to ingratiate herself with the host or other people in the industry, and how much was her genuine belief (or lack thereof) at the time? Maybe she’s been strongly influenced by her Catholic husband. It’s a remarkable transition in a relatively short period of time. Again, we don’t really these people. But we can appreciate what she presents now, and how well she presents it.

    The TGA have just admitted they don’t understand the risks of the COVID vaccine.

    The fact that this relates to risks to the immune system is just plain negligence.

    The Hope Accord

    Dr. Joseph Fraiman Says The Hope Accord Has Received 30,000 Signatures in Under a Week to Suspend the Use of the COVID Vaccines

    The “slow-walking” continues. Promoted ‘alternative experts’ were putting out calls to suspend (apparently a bridge too far to ban something that’s killing, injuring and incapacitating millions) long ago. Even the delving into technical, pharmacological detail seems a torturous diversion. The fact that the TGA is virtually wholly funded by the companies it’s meant to regulate tells the story.

    There was never any moral or ethical justification for pushing those injections on people. And after all this time, all the victims have is a heap of words. Virtute non verbis.

    This is surprising, for The Project:

    Interesting she called it “cult”-like.

    “Australians are not easygoing. We never think we’re this bunch of risk-averse, dobby neighbourhood snitches, but we are.”

    Perhaps even worse than loss of trust in institutions, that’s the harsh truth to adjust to – that it’s not a bad dream about something you read in a modern history book; you’re wide awake, this is the country of your birth and these are your compatriots. Hoping and praying that more wake up, and soon.

    You know why I was wrong about @NickJFuentes ?

    Because censorship used to work.

    I literally didn’t know who he was because of the level of matrix attack he was under. I made “a point” that you have to HAVE influence to fight influence and you need to climb to the top first before challenging the powerful.

    I made some jokes about him being an “angry nobody with no influence” and I was wrong.

    I assumed he was some Reddit kid who had a lot more work to do before barking at powerful people.

    Censorship worked.

    Consider this an official 180 on my position, I’m not too tough to admit when I’m wrong.

    Security lapses in focus after Trump rally shooting

    Republican lawmakers said they would launch swift investigations into how a person managed to evade Secret Service agents and climb onto the roof of a building near where Donald Trump was speaking at an election rally and fire multiple shots before being killed.

    Mike Johnson, speaker of the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives, said panels in the chamber would call officials from the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI for hearings soon.

    The House oversight panel called Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle to testify on July 22.

    While information about the incident was still sparse, early media reports said the shooter was outside the security perimeter of the rally venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person interviewed by the BBC said he had seen the man with a gun and tried unsuccessfully to alert the police and the Secret Service.

    Trump supporters blasted the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting Trump as a former US president. Billionaire Elon Musk called for the agency’s leadership to resign.

    “How was a sniper with a full rifle kit allowed to bear crawl onto the closest roof to a presidential nominee,” asked conservative activist Jack Posobiec on X.

    FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek, speaking at a press briefing, called the number of shots the attacker was able to fire “surprising.”

    The Secret Service did not have a representative in that press briefing late on Saturday, which included FBI and state law enforcement officials.

    The Secret Service said shortly after the shooting that it had begun an investigation and briefed President Biden, Trump’s rival in the November 5 election, though the agency did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment regarding its protocols.

    The Hope Accord

    Hope all the “adversely affected” don’t find it dismayingly weak and “uncertain” at this late stage, adding further insult to their injuries. When “better late than never” replaces “first do no harm” it’s no wonder many no longer trust doctors. Wordsmiths should have been alerted by the redefinition of ‘vaccine’.

    Robert De Niro on Trump:

    I’d like to see a bag of shit right in his face. Hit him right in the face like that, and let the picture go all over the world. And that would be the most humiliating thing. He needs to be humiliated. He needs to be confronted and humiliated by whoever his opponent is. His political opponent. They have to stand up to him, they don’t have to do it in an obvious physical way, but they have to have the formidability to confront him and to put him in his place because the people have to see that, to see him be humiliated.

    X user @TheMilkBarTV, an Aussie film-maker/video editor has matched the audio & synched some of the various videos from Butler, putting them together in a split-screen compilation that begins with bystanders telling local LEOs of a “man climbing on the roof” two minutes before the first shots & continues until just after Trump is evacuated to a secure vehicle. A great piece of video for putting everything into context.

    Had it been called in, there was plenty of time to get President Trump off stage until the threat was investigated. It further underlines the deficiencies of the Secret Service Protection Detail’s performance.

    He was only seated in the Senate in 2023 after his mentor, CIA contractor Peter Thiel, put up +$10 million and Trump endorsed him.

    Now he is Trump’s VP and a heartbeat from the presidency. This is a mistake.
