Trump rejects 'Project 2025' plan after criticism from Democrats: 'I have nothing to do with them.' | Blaze Media

A spokesperson for the plan released a statement Friday.

“As we’ve been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign," the statement read.

"We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy & personnel recommendations for the next conservative president," the spokesperson added. "But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement. Rather than obsessing over Project 2025, the Biden campaign should be addressing the 25th Amendment.”

False pride - American Thinker

False pride - American Thinker - By Eric Utter
Pride.
  • Everyone is so proud. So damn proud!
We just came through Pride Month. 
Pride parades, celebrations, commercials, and notices were ubiquitous, everywhere, like drag queens...
It seemed nary a crosswalk, sports team, business, or email was unadorned by some form of acknowledgement or touting of the LGBTQ community.
So proud! 
Couldn’t be any prouder of our gender (whatever it is today) or sexuality!
Because that is what matters, what is really at the very heart of who we are, right? 
  • And that’s why they want to make sure youngsters are involved, as well. 
  • The younger the better. 
  • The younger, the prouder!...
You know who else is proud? 
  • Nearly everyone! Muslims, feminists, Native Americans, “educators,” “journalists,” the polyamorous, etc.
  • Everyone but straight, white, male Christians...

EU vs. Europe - by Mark Wauck - Meaning In History

Still and all, just as in the US, Simplicius’ point remains: Hoi Polloi Are Sick. - by Mark Wauck - Meaning In History - Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen
  • Europeans want negotiations to start and the killing to end. 
  • The EU elites in no way represent the opinions of Europeans. 
  • Orban (President of Hungary/negotiated settlement) represents Europe (Europeans).

Interview Disaster: Biden Claims to Have 'Put NATO Together' but Was Just 6 Years Old When It Was Founded

Interview Disaster: Biden Claims to Have 'Put NATO Together' but Was Just 6 Years Old When It Was Founded

However, if there was one moment that crystallized just how non-reassuring the results of Friday evening should be for team Biden, perhaps they ought to look later in the debate, when Stephanopoulos asked Biden to look toward the future and make the case for him for being the candidate for another four more years, and he responded in part by saying he “put together NATO” — an institution founded in 1949.

“You talked a lot about your successes in — at the beginning of this interview. And– and I don’t want to dispute that, I don’t want to debate that,” Stephanopoulos said at the outset of the question. (Because of course he didn’t, which is why he was chosen for this interview. But I digress.)

Feds Target Those ‘Warranty Void if Removed’ Stickers

Not a BIG story, but imagine if a GOP rep had said same.-----Dem Rep Compares Biden to Jesus JAZZ SHAW

Democratic Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia ...While introducing Biden at a fundraiser earlier this week...compared the President to none other than Jesus Christ. 
  • But what is it about Joe Biden that reminds Beyer of the Savior so much? Apparently it's his ability to endure hardship and suffering...

"He died to demonstrate the universality of human suffering—that suffering was not the end," Beyer said of Jesus. "We each endure tragedies in our lives and hardships and suffering."

"But few had to endure more than this man," Beyer said of Biden, according to a White House press pool recording of the event. "Losing his wife, losing his daughter, and losing his son. The vicissitudes of American politics."

I had long believed that comparing anyone to Jesus Christ was something of a non-starter, but the rules have apparently changed in the 21st century...

"What is it with these paranoid celebrities
  • Trump was President for four years and showed ZERO signs of endangering our democratic republic. (January 6th was not orchestrated by Trump.)
  • Biden as President has weaponized the Departments of Treasury and Justice and has persecuted his political opponent in a style worthy of the U.S.S.R.
What scares me is November 5th, or whenever, finding out how many people bought into Meathead's paranoia.

It's happened to me many times lately.-----With the election nearing, Facebook censorship is increasing - American Thinker

In 2020, Twitter (before Elon Musk) and Facebook went into full censorship mode. - Andrea Widburg
Facebook, however, is back at its old tricks...
  • The new approach holds that conservatives who post statements that are popular with conservatives are improperly seeking “likes” and “follows.” 

If the image is blurry, let me restate here the reason that Facebook refused to allow my friend’s post: “It looks like you tried to get likes, follows, shares or video views in a misleading way.”
In other words, “Your post is spam and/or clickbait.”

Who lied? Why is there no outcry?!!

A flash mob of roughly 70 looters ransacked a California gas station convenience store, which cost approximately $100,000 in losses. The owner said it took Oakland police about nine hours to respond to the looting. Around 4:30 a.m. on Friday, a flash mob looted the 76 Gas Station & Mini Market near the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The owner, Sam Mardaie, said there were two employees working at the time and the looting lasted around 40 minutes. The business was only offering window service at the time of the pillaging. However, the looters broke into the market through the front door.

Checkmate? US Removes Missiles From the Philippines As China's Xi Plays JFK to Biden's Khrushchev

BIDEN: George, I'm the guy that put NATO together, the future, no one thought I could expand it. I'm the guy who shut Putin down... - streiff

...Most concerning is that claiming “checkmate” in the Pacific overlooks the fact that China has the largest Navy, largest Coast Guard, largest Naval Militia, and largest shipbuilders in the world. It also has the world’s largest fleets of military controlled merchant ships and owns ports globally...

  • At issue was the Typhon missile system, which would be critical in any conflict with China or anyone else in the Pacific... 
  • Well, China says "no," Hoss, and they are calling the shots with Joey SoftServe in the White House.

A US mid-range missile system deployed in the Philippines for annual joint military exercises -- to the annoyance of China -- will be pulled out of the country, a Philippine Army spokesman said Thursday...

The presence of the mid-range missile system on Philippine soil had angered Beijing. 

Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun warned in June there were "limits" to Beijing's restraint on the South China Sea and over the deployment of ballistic missiles in the Asia-Pacific region...

Judge issues ruling at 11:58 p.m. to block release of Covenant School killer's manifesto, other documents | Blaze Media

Judge issues ruling at 11:58 p.m. to block release of Covenant School killer's manifesto, other documents | Blaze Media:  

A judge has ruled that writings from the Covenant school killer will not be released "at this time." There has been an ongoing legal battle to secure the release of the writings that the killer left behind. After the tragedy last year, Nashville police vowed to release the documents, but that day never came. The FBI pressured against the release of the documents, and the families of the victims oppose the documents making their way into public hands.
