Who does the media think they are, telling us what to believe all the time?  We’ve watched in amazement as the angle is placed in the headline.  They are literally telling us what we must think, or how we must view whatever situation.  Whether it’s the war in Ukraine, the pretender’s corruption or the three separate cases that Trump now faces, they leave no doubt as to how you should look at it.  Or whether you should look at it.

These guys from the top law enforcement agency have been testifying before the Judicial Committee this week, and they’re making us question why we would view their agency as honest.  They’re telling their tale, how evidence the agency had in its possession was withheld by their bosses, how roadblocks requiring approval from a higher power were thrown up at every turn.  One of them is an unimpeachable source, since he’s stressed and married to a man.  What’s the left going to say now?

Meanwhile, there is apparent written PROOF of “under the table” deals with America’s adversaries.  It looks like the wheels are coming off the administration.

We’ve all seen the video, “I told them if they didn’t fire the prosecutor (Shokin) they weren’t getting the billion.”  Why did he brag, in front of everybody, that he leveraged American aid to get a prosecutor fired?  Where was that?  Ukraine!?!

Now there are calls for a Special Prosecutor.  You mean, we’ll have to wait for at least a couple of years, and nobody dares discuss it in the meantime?  “That matter is under ongoing investigation, so, no comment.”  By now we know how this works.  

The whistle-blowers testifying before a Congressional committee seem to implicate the highest law enforcement agencies in the land.  If we can’t trust them…  

We know the news channels are not to be trusted.  There is terribly damning testimony about official corruption, but the news-people want to talk about the cases against Donald Trump.  If only they could keep the spotlight on him, catch him with facial expressions while speaking that seem to express guilt.  If only!  We’re deep in uncharted waters.  Who knows what they’ll say or do.  It will be interesting, because new ground is being broken.

Glenn Beck hyped something on his program today.  He gave Fox News until the third hour to respond, just in case.  It turns out that their employees have a portal where they can donate to the charity of their choice, and Fox will match their contributions up to $1,000.   The Southern Poverty Law Center is on the list, and they regularly make claims against the channel.  But the corker is that the Satanic Temple is on their list of charities.  We’ll see what they say, but odds are they won’t address it at all.  

Is the land full of bloody crimes?  We probably don’t know the half of it, but there are plenty of murders.  Our big cities have places that the Police won’t even go.  There are several series on TV devoted to the solving of murders.  It never ends.  Now the news is on the case of a serial killer, and who knows how many victims may be involved?  

We’re at a crossroads in the United States.  Will the Deep State prevail, and they’ll just keep telling us what they want us to believe, and if we speak out, we will be banished as dangerous?  That’s pretty much the world we’re living in, wouldn’t our founders be amused.

We’ve still got the Bible.  We’ll trust in that.  Thanks anyway.

It’s highly unusual but believe it or not, we have good news.  What a difference a day makes, because none of this saw daylight until after the monthly letter went to the printer.  Have you seen the former IRS agent that wants to spill the beans on what exactly transpired on official vice-presidential trips to foreign countries?  His lawyer was on last night, saying that attempts to report the situation internally had been ignored.  He says he has the goods, and is ready to go under oath.  So far it’s apparent that he’ll only be afforded an audience at Congressional committees.  The mainstream media, so far as I can tell, is ignoring the story.  

Several things seem to have hit the fan all at once.  Remember when the pretender shut Trump down at the debates?  “Fifty one intelligence agents say that’s a bunch of garbage,” or words to that effect.  It has come to light that the current Secretary of State wrote that letter and got everybody to sign on, along with their official job position. They all said the laptop from you know where was “Russian disinformation.”  If that doesn’t show that the entrenched bureaucracy fears Trump, there’s another recent example.  

We were left shaking our heads when we learned that Fox News decided to settle the lawsuit brought by Dominion election systems.  Apparently Fox did have a case that would have embarrassed Dominion at the very least, and might have won.  But we’ll never know, the case was settled on the first day of trial.  Bill O’Reilly says the settlement had nothing to do with the anchors or guests on the popular news channel.  He says that Rupert Murdoch (age 92) was going to have to testify, and told his lawyers to settle the case.  But they’re giddy on the mainstream, like this proves something.  

That’s OK, there are other court cases to be played out.  This is not the end of the story

It’s enough to break your heart.  But not mine.  All the brand-name organizations are in the middle of mass layoffs.  If they hired any minorities, the law-suits can’t be far behind.  Discrimination, you know.  Why is everybody having such a hard time, especially after going to great lengths to “do the right thing,” hire all the right people and publicly buy into all the ESG nonsense.  What a shame!

Florida has apparently passed a law that bans ESG considerations.  The loons will have a breakdown.  That sounds like good news.

We almost wish we hadn’t seen it.  A lady activists breaks into tears while worrying about global warming.  It’s such a crisis, it made her cry on the BBC.  What her emotions have to do with it is anybody’s guess.  Stupid people believe stupid stuff.  I’m about to cry too.  For joy!

Americans in Sudan are on their own. Rival generals are engaged in slugging it out to control the military, and things have become a lot more dangerous.  Not only that, Americans have been informed that they’re on their own.  There will be no evacuation.  It’s too late.

Good news is in the eye of the beholder, but several things broke last night that I’m glad I didn’t know in time to put them in the letter.  It looks like the wheels are about to come off the pretender’s administration.  We’d like some palatable news from time to time.  The end is not yet, but it will take a miracle if we survive the next two years.  It starting to look like we might survive.  The Biden regime may not be so lucky.

In a missive dated Oct. 27 of that year, Louisiana attorney Robert W. Fenet told Hunter and his uncle, first brother Jim Biden, that he had secured a contact for them at Houston energy company Cherniere, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

“I confirm I have requested [the contact] to be available for a call from Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on Monday morning,” Fenet wrote.

The attorney did not immediately return a message from The Post requesting clarification on why the then-former vice president was name dropped.

President Biden has a history of ties to Cherniere’s executives: He named former company lobbyist and vice president Ankit Desai as his political director in 2005, and former board member Heather Zichal became his campaign climate adviser in 2020.

We can hardly watch news from the border.  The third world is flooding into Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California.  The administration has other priorities.  It can’t be bothered with questions about the invasion that’s taking place.  We’re being warned that the human flood that we can’t even watch is about to get a whole lot worse.  What’s going on?  I think I heard it somewhere, “If you don’t have a border, you don’t have a country.”  We’ve seen the seizures of deadly drugs.  The statistics are mind-numbing.  The news shows us that the “migrants” are wearing wristbands showing that they’ve paid the cartels for organizing this disaster.  It looks like we’re cooperating with the cartels.  Can this ever be turned around?

No, the war in Ukraine is much more important.  If the pretender can make out the words on the teleprompter, we’ll all be put in our place and realize that the war in Ukraine is the most important thing going on.  And it might be.  We’ve long-since lost track of the money that’s been sent, and not just from the U. S.  They’ve been begging all the Western nations, warning of dire consequences should Ukraine once again become a Russian possession.  You hear of the “domino effect,” and wonder whether we’re headed for world war.  

Never mind the domino effect.  We’re told that the missile systems we’re providing require American operators.  Yesterday the big headline on the Drudge Report was that Putin was readying his nuclear arsenal for attacks on Western nations.  You have to consider the source.  But it looks as though most of the concern is way off in Eastern Europe.

Every bad actor on earth knows it’s the time to move.  We certainly hope the pretender is not the one making decisions.  He’s shepherded around by people who tell him what to say, and he tries to put a little of that pretender spin on it.  You think he would dare balk at anything he’s told to say or do?  He’s in deep trouble as it is, and will need all the cooperation he can get in the months ahead.  It’s going to be gut-wrenching if the Ukrainian and Chinese dealings are ever taken up by the mainstream media.  

Elon Musk used to be a darling of the left. Then he bought Twitter. Now Mr. Musk is their whipping boy. The mainstream media is just beside themselves that free speech, wrong or right, would be allowed in the public square. It’s an outrage to the tech world and the government agencies that they can’t control information anymore. At least they control the TV networks, the newspapers and most social media concerns. They’d love to ban Musk himself. It turns out that some of these reporters were tracking his private jet and his personal calendar. He pulled the plug on their accounts. Now they’re screaming from the rooftops that he’s silencing reporters from big papers. He says they’re trying to get him assassinated.  

He keeps dropping secret Twitter information revealing that the social media company was meeting with the heads of government agencies with requests for the banishment of “disinformation.” They couldn’t allow free speech on the subject of Covid 19! They couldn’t allow mandated closures to be discussed by regular people!  

I hate to be the one to break it, but it looks like the wall has cracked and there will be enough embarrassment to go around once the inner workings are exposed.  You’ve heard it, “They’re a private company and they can do whatever they want.”  It gets a little dicey when they’re fulfilling the requests of government agencies, with regulatory power.  And they call us “fascists.”  

It won’t be any fun hearing about the corruption.  It’s just so embarrassing for the country.  It’s liable to be ruinous to the pretender. The broad outlines are available, but you wonder what this administration will do to make sure we don’t understand the full extent of it.

Weekly Update

Greetings from Tyler,

Can things not slow down at all? Nancy Pelosi thought it appropriate to risk China’s wrath and has been hailed for doing so. She seemed to sing a tune that’s not exactly in line with official foreign policy. But as National Security Spokesman John Kirby said, she’s going to do whatever she wants. The ominous threats various China officials were making might have made her think twice, but she went anyway. The purpose of her trip remains a little murky.

Now China is conducting war games and firing off missiles, threatening by intimidation. But Taiwan purportedly produces nearly all the chips that power everything from common devices to automobile systems. You’d think we’d repatriate all that. Chinese officials undoubtedly possess ruinous information, but why use it? Well, maybe use it as leverage, but what could be better than a hapless old codger that is told what to say by Obama’s people? From the Chinese perspective, of course.

Odd isn’t it, that America’s foreign policy challenges are occurring at the center of corruption we’re not supposed to know about? No doubt the arms producers are gleeful that the old inventory is being expended and they must produce the new version of everything for our own military. We hope that’s what they’re doing.

Oohh, they’ve almost got him this time! Having seen a clip or two from channels that are not welcome at my place, they’re salivating over the prospective criminal charges threatening the former President. What was he doing in private on January 6? The cable networks have legal analysts, including the infamous Jeffrey Toobin, who are just sure, “The Walls are Closing In.” Sounds like a rerun from two and three years ago. Oh wait. The same culprits were saying these same things two and three years ago! It was Russian Collusion and two impeachments, and he survived much to the chagrin of the establishment.

They’re going to make a criminal out of Donald Trump if it’s the last thing they do. If they charge him with a crime, that makes all his supporters accessories. They must hate him in a way we don’t quite understand. But maybe there’s more to it. The liberals are always associating fear with hate, and they might be scared. The house-cleaning should have happened last time, but it didn’t. It’s been published that Trump is planning a second term and is already making plans to do just that. That’s probably why the legal experts are making dire predictions.

How many years ago was it that the mainstream began to equate fear with hate? They took to calling us all homophobes when no one was scared. It’s not even a word, but when has that ever slowed down an angry weirdo? We’ve been going along, keeping our heads down as every mainstream product and service preached this stuff. They just might have overplayed their hand. Several of the wokest of the big concerns are falling in value, they’re laying off employees. Maybe we don’t have to stick our heads up, maybe they’ll just fall out of favor and go broke. We can only hope.

It seems the government is not about to back off the global warming kick, or whatever they’re calling it these days. The European institutions are all pious about saving the planet. They’ve just got to get us to OBEY, and everything will be fine. We only hope they live long enough to realize what buffoons they are. Meanwhile, we’re not buying.

Neither Russia or China are bought into any of this nonsense. Nor are they “doing their part” to help with the cause. You might be interested in the video put out by the Russian ambassador to Spain, “Time to move to Russia.” It brags that Russia has good food (doubtful), cheap and plentiful gas and water, and don’t forget beautiful women. It may be satire or a spoof. But it’s a sad day when Russia can gloat about so much that we’ve lost. Europe, more so.

We’re probably all going to get drug through the laptop from Hades, ready or not. The status quo is too rickety for something not to go awry. The pretender is in isolation once again. He’s got us all wondering why we didn’t get double vaxxed and boosted. We hope for his speedy recovery. We wouldn’t want him to miss what’s coming down the tracks. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Something huge is brewing, and it promises to be one of the most embarrassing, gut-wrenching experiences this nation has ever endured.  Media companies eventually have to figure out how to save themselves.  When something becomes so well known, or is at long last given credibility by one of media’s “trusted sources,” the dam starts to crack, if you’ll pardon the reference.

As you probably already know, the NYT has run a story admitting that the scandalous laptop computer is authentic.  Horribly, there are videos all over the place where the mainstream claim is that it was planted Russian disinformation.  Some of the videos are of the big guy claiming that he’s never discussed anything, and wouldn’t.  The “appearance” and all that. Brace yourself.  Most of the stuff that threatens to humiliate everyone is so bad it can’t be shown, or even referenced.

World leaders are laughing every time they think about the lack of understanding, and the kindergarten talk that has been on display every time our presumptive vp takes to a podium.  The pretender is about to go overseas to embarrass us further.  That seems a safe prediction.

If there were a concerted effort to weaken, fleece, invade and bamboozle, it’s hard to know what else they could do.  There’s so much damage already, it’s hard to see how we claw back an identity.  Are there really that many gullible, brain-damaged people in the U. S.?  Were people really swallowing the bizarre accusations against the former President, bad actors brimming with righteous indignation all the while?

It looks like nearly all their accusations, they were guilty of having committed.  Some of us haven’t forgotten that outright vitriol that spewed out of the mainstream in their universal contempt for a man who, not only loved the country but wanted it to flourish.  We’re finding out about people who were insinuated into advisory roles who undermined those they were supposed to serve.  That’s a major scandal the historians will have to figure out, assuming they haven’t been canceled and falsely accused too.

Our favorite little Dr. has emerged to say there’s a strong possibility that another wave is on its way, and we have to be “flexible enough” to return to stringent regulations.  Some of us weren’t flexible in the first place, but then again we live in a state that seemed to recognize the folly of authoritarianism elsewhere.  That it would even happen anywhere in the United States was breathtaking.  But there were “consequences.”  People were left without a choice. Obey, or else.  Maybe it’s time to pull up stakes and go somewhere else.  Many did.

It’s not clear whether the mega facilities we just found out about were involved in nefarious experiments, illegal in the U. S., or not.  Some of the aerial photographs of these facilities are shocking.  They’re huge!  The American taxpayer paid for all of it, but was not told.  What on earth!  Ukraine has been almost an euphemism for a money pit, and there are vast sums unaccounted for.  Meanwhile, you might be a “danger” to society if you believe any number of things that are proving out.  They sent the head of an oppressive agency out to speak that blather this week.

We can dismiss some of this as “old news,” and the media will undoubtedly try.  But something tells us that all is not well.  Blatant lies are being dug up, and are going to be on display.  Suddenly (or not so suddenly where we’re concerned) the evidence dismissed as Russian disinformation and banned from discussion on social media sites is proving true.  It should start an avalanche.  But we’ve seen the media arrogantly dismiss the truth as something that can’t be relied upon for years.  They better get it together this time.  No doubt panicked meetings are taking place in tall buildings.  How will they couch information that is reaching critical mass, that they’ve been running away from for years?

Where might the churches be?  They dare not speak of the fact that the great blessings from God are being denounced.  Apparently a bunch of congressmen, we’re talking a hundred and some odd, have sent a letter to the supposed executive saying that global warming, or climate change as they’ve had to re-define, is still the greatest threat.  What did we do to deserve this?

It’s time to face the reality that the Ruler of the universe may not be amused by what’s going on here below.  Maybe there’s a reason everything is going south, and everyone is coming north.  Enemies are suddenly a threat.  Putin keeps dangling the nuclear option.  China is sailing warships near Taiwan.  Russia is “helping” the administration with the re-reinstatement of the Iran nuclear deal.  Under the circumstances, how can this be?  The great deception better be good.  We can hardly wait.

ABC News completely ignored the ongoing scandal surrounding a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, according to the Media Research Center.

It’s been well documented that the mainstream media has ignored the story about Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings and his father, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s alleged knowledge of it, which was first reported by the New York Post last week. But the conservative media watchdog analyzed every news program on ABC, NBC and CBS to determine the biggest culprit among network news divisions.

NPR SLAMMED FOR DISMISSING COVERAGE OF HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP SCANDAL AS A ‘WASTE OF TIME’

MRC analyzed morning and evening newscasts, town hall events and Sunday political shows from Oct 14 through the morning of Oct. 22. The footage added up to 73.5 total hours of news programming across the trio of networks and the laptop controversy was only discussed for 16 minutes and 42 seconds of the total time – with none of it coming from the Disney-owned network.

“ABC spent ZERO seconds on Hunter Biden,” MRC deputy research director Geoffrey Dickens wrote.

Last week, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos failed to ask Joe Biden any questions about the explosive New York Post report during a town hall event. It was not mentioned on “World News Tonight,” “Good Morning America,” or “This Week,” either.

By comparison, “NBC spent just 6 minutes, 9 seconds on Hunter’s scandals. CBS led the broadcast networks with a still-measly 10 minutes and 33 seconds,” Dickens wrote.

SENATE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS

“ABC came oh-so-close to reporting on Hunter’s scandals on Wednesday’s ‘World News Tonight,’ but ultimately offered a vague mention by correspondent Mary Bruce,” Dickens wrote, noting that Bruce mentioned Dr. Jill Biden called President Trump’s attacks on her husband and his family a “distraction” on ABC News’ “The View.”

“Bruce refused to go into detail on what would prompt the President to ‘attack’ her husband and son Hunter,” Dickens observed.

Indeed, Dr. Biden was able to avoid any questions about her stepson’s ongoing scandal when she appeared on “The View” Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Monday said that Hunter Biden’s laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is investigating Hunter Biden’s emails which reveal that he introduced his father, the former vice president, to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings in 2015, among other allegations.

The post ABC News has completely ignored Hunter Biden laptop scandal, study says first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday.

The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.

Further, Fox News has learned that the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Ratcliffe, on Monday, said that Hunter Biden’s laptop and the emails on it “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” despite claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

RATCLIFFE SAYS HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS, LAPTOP ‘NOT PART OF SOME RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN’

“Let me be clear: the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that,” Ratcliffe said. “And we have shared no intelligence with Adam Schiff or any member of Congress.”

Ratcliffe went on to say that it is “simply not true.”

“If you thought it wasn’t possible for Schiff to have any less credibility, DOJ just proved you wrong,” a senior intelligence official told Fox News.

Meanwhile, another senior federal law enforcement official told Fox News that the emails are “authentic.”

The FBI, in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings, as well as the laptop in question, said that the bureau has “nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.”

“If actionable intelligence is developed, the FBI in consultation with the Intelligence Community will evaluate the need to provide defensive briefings to you and the Committee pursuant to the established notification framework,” the letter stated.

The emails in question were first obtained by the New York Post and, in part, revealed that Hunter Biden allegedly introduced his father, the then-vice president, to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings less than a year before he pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company’s founder.

The Post report revealed that Biden, at Hunter’s request, met with the executive, Vadym Pozharskyi, in April 2015 in Washington, D.C.

The meeting was mentioned in an email of appreciation, according to the Post, that Pozharskyi sent to Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015 — a year after Hunter took on his position on the board of Burisma.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email read.

DOCUMENTS SHOW ALLEGED HUNTER BIDEN SIGNATURE, FBI CONTACTS WITH COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP OWNER

The Biden campaign told Fox News Sunday that the former vice president “never had a meeting” with Pozharskyi.

Biden, prior to the emails surfacing, repeatedly has claimed he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

Hunter Biden’s business dealings, and his role on the board of Burisma, emerged during the Trump impeachment inquiry in 2019.

Another email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair/ Vice Chair depending on an agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details.

SENATE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS

Fox News spoke to one of the people who was copied on the email, who confirmed its authenticity.

Sources also told Fox News that “the big guy” was a reference to the former vice president. The New York Post initially published the emails, and others, that Fox News has also obtained.

While Biden has not commented on that email or his alleged involvement in any deals with the Chinese Energy firm, his campaign said it released the former vice president’s tax documents and returns, which do not reflect any involvement with Chinese investments.

Fox News also obtained an email last week that revealed an adviser of Burisma Holdings, Vadym Pozharskyi, wrote an email to Hunter Biden on May 12, 2014, requesting “advice” on how he could use his “influence to convey a message” to “stop” what the company considers to be “politically motivated actions.”

“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message/signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,”  Pozharskyi wrote.

The email, part of a longer email chain obtained by Fox News, appeared to be referencing the firm’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky, being under investigation.

Meanwhile, additional documents obtained by Fox News include FBI paperwork that details the bureau’s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of “The Mac Shop” who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities, as first reported by the New York Post.
