Good Morning Kids. It certainly seems as if the powers that be are both preparing themselves for a potential Donald Trump victory come Novmber, while at the same time doing everything in their power to prevent it, as all the cool kids would say “By Any Means Necessary.”
Pressure has grown on Biden, who has often touted his foreign policy experience during his political career, to help orchestrate an end to the Israel-Hamas war that began almost a year ago and has embroiled the Middle East in a broader regional conflict. With the prospect of his legacy being stained by a failure to secure a ceasefire before his term ends in January, Biden is pressing those closest to him to find a solution as soon as possible, Politico reported on Monday, citing U.S. officials who spoke to the outlet on condition of anonymity, given that they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter. . .
“Keep fucking trying,” Biden reportedly told his national security officials in a recent meeting in the Situation Room, according to one of the participants of the meeting who spoke to Politico.
A successful ceasefire deal could also notch a separate win for Biden — he believes it will improve Vice President Kamala Harris’ own shot at the presidency in the November election, according to three officials who spoke to Politico. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, CIA Director Bill Burns and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan have all been tasked to make a ceasefire deal their top focus before Biden’s term comes to a close.
For those wholly unaware, that is the trolls and any other LIV lurkers around here, ceasefire means Israel surrender and commit national suicide. Not only for immediate political expediency but because this junta and the deeply embedded globalist/Anti-American abscess known as Foggy Bottom that has been rotting away at our vitals and vital interests for decades has been driving to replace Israel with the mad mullahs of Iran as the main power brokers in the middle east.
WIth that said, this is happening:
Additional U.S. troops are being rushed to the Middle East during a rise in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah terrorist forces in Lebanon that has elevated risks of a wider regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.
AP reports Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder would provide no details on how many additional forces or what they would be tasked to do. Their precise geographical region of deployment has also not been disclosed.
The U.S. currently has about 40,000 troops in the region. Just last month U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and told the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area.
Given who and what is running our country, such as what remains of it, US troops are not being sent to aid the Israelis. Ostensibly it will be under some bullshit pretext to protect innocent civilian “Palestinians,” pardon the redundant twin fictions. Despite the recent orgasm-inducing success of the IDF pager operation as well as its conventional strikes on the soldiers of Islam known as Hezbollah and Hamas, Sadly, Israel has a Deep State of its own as well as a considerable number of suicidal leftists in its midst as insane as our own here in the USA. And the Junta here has been doing its best to oust Netanyahu and have him replaced by a leadership that will agree to the so-called 1967 Auschwitz borders in creating a “Palestinian state” that in essence will finish the job that Hitler started. Literally Hitler. No not “literal-Hitler DonaldTrump.”
But since conventional wisdom and the Leftist propaganda complex insist that Trump is that and much much worse, then of course all bets are off in making sure he never takes a seat behind the Resolute Desk.
Two failed assassination attempts (Divine providence or dumb luck?) and then this:
On Monday, the Department of Justice released a handwritten letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The letter, written months before the attempt, was turned over to authorities by a witness who received it along with other items in a box several months prior. . .
. . . “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” the letter began, “but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.”
“It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can compete the job,” the letter continues. “Everyone across the globe from the younger to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president. U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.”
It certainly is curious why the Biden-Harris junta released this letter publicly, when, more often than not, the manifestos of killers are kept under wraps as much as possible. For example the manifesto of the Covenant School shooter has yet to be fully released, despite the fact that there is significant public interest in the transgender shooter’s motives. So far, only small portions of her writings have managed to be released or leaked.
For those of a certain age who don’t remember something called “The Buy Lines” or even the 1971 hit single by the Honey Cone “The Want Ads” surely you are aware of Craig’s List and Facebook Marketplace. If the Democrats can organize protesters to magically materialize at SCOTUS Justices homes, Senate hearings or Republican conventions, surely a Routhi rebel with a gun can be had in order for the CIA and Deep State cabal to recruit to preserve our precious democracy! (vomit). Were they behind either or both attempts? Let’s just say I would not be surprised.
More than 700 members of the Deep State — a mixture of high, medium, and low-ranking government officials and staffers — signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, in a move reminiscent of the letter 51 former intelligence officials signed claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. In fact, some of the signatories of the new letter also signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, such as former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and Air Force Gen. (Ret.) Michael Hayden.
Other signatories of the new letter include Trump-haters Alexander Vindman, the former Ukrainian-American National Security Council staffer and retired Army lieutenant colonel who sparked the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump, and Malcolm Nance, a frequent commentator on the far-left MSNBC and a retired U.S. Navy senior chief petty officer who became involved in questionable volunteer efforts in Ukraine.
Recall a link from a few days back showing a very large percentage of Dems thinking it would’e been better off for the country had either of the attempts on Trump’s life succeeded. Now where could they have possibly got that sick twisted notion.
Left-wing presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed on Monday — following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump — that people needed to “wake up” because it would be a “doomsday scenario” if Trump were to win again in November.
Brinkley made the unfounded remarks on far-left MNSBC during an appearance on “Morning Joe” — a show that is so extreme with its hatred of Trump that it was pulled off air for a day after Trump was shot in Pennsylvania because the network was concerned that inappropriate comments would be made.
When asked by co-host Joe Scarborough what was at stake with 45 days left in the election, Brinkley responded, “American democracy, nothing less.”
Why the hell are they wasting time sending a carrier to Lebanon when they should be sailing it off the coast of Mar-A-Lago?!
Failing that, a nice nuclear exchange with Putin will do the job. After all Trump is Putin’s puppet, or so Hillary Clinton and all the spooks listed above who created that fiction with the Russia collusion hoax pimped.
So Zelensky and Shapiro are signing articlery shells at a munitions plant in Pennsylvania. Suddenly I remember a Bugs Bunny cartoon where his job was to hit the shells with a mallet to see if they’re good, and if not he scrawls the word “DUD” on it. Go for it boys!
Sheesh.
Just briefly, I know Mis Hum published an update on my health situation a few weeks back on his Saturday morning coffee and prayer thread but for those who missed it, my last MRI was negative, which means essentially for now I am cancer-free, and have just started a 6-month course of chemo maintenance with regular MRIs to monitor for any recurrence, presumably for the rest of my life. All things considered, my doctors are very upbeat that that could be longer than the standard prognosis. Again, I cannot thank everyone enough for their prayers and messages of support.
Have a good day.

- The board notes that “Mr. Trump may well win this election fair and square” but stresses that “Democrats returned 18 million ballots by mail compared with about 10 million from Republicans across 20 states with party registration data” in 2020 and that “it will probably still take longer to tally the high volume of ballots in [Democrat-voting] urban centers such as Philadelphia and Milwaukee than the lower number in redder, rural areas.”However, The Washington Post concedes that the Democrats’ mail-in voting advantage narrowed in 2022, with the left-liberal party casting 7.6 million mail-in ballots compared to 5.1 million for the Republicans.
