NEWS JUNKIES -- CHECK OUT OUR HOMEPAGE


Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert

 

 


 

 

NOTE FROM KANE

As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.

I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.

So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.

Carry on, CFP Nation.

When Swiss protest.
“According to the National Councillor, the identity card “takes away the identity of the Swiss citizen”. The bone of contention is the new identity card, pictured above. For comparison, the old identity card is shown below.”

“While the original application was for a K-12 school and community center, the representative of the traffic engineering firm hired by the school repeatedly referred to the secondary use as a “Prayer Center.”

In a fundraising pitch on his personal Facebook page, Ziyad Awad, principal of the school, wrote, “Support the project of the new building of Islamic Academy of Alabama and a Masjid. An ongoing charity in this holy month, a project to purchase a new building for the Islamic school and a mosque for the Islamic community.”

Pope Leo wants Europe to become more like Lebanon.

As he was returning to Rome after his recent trip to Lebanon, Pope Leo called upon Christians to stop regarding Islam as a threat, and to make friends with Muslims.

“I think that one of the great lessons that Lebanon can offer the world is to show a country where Islam and Christianity are present and respected, and where it is possible to live together, to be friends.”

(In Beirut, Christians and Muslims control their own quadrants. Since the civil war ending in 1990, the neighborhoods of Beirut have become segregated by religion.)

You would think that the Church is rich enough already that it doesn’t need to pander anyone, not even wealthy Persian Gulf princes.

What Is Happening Here?

Neil Patel is Tucker’s longtime business partner — they created Daily Caller together.

I know what’s going on but I’m not going to post it here publicly.

From a blog: “Tucker Carlson spoke at the Doha Forum and in a conversation with the Qatar Prime Minister, he said he has not taken any money from Qatar to do their bidding. He also told Qatar’s Prime Minister Al Thani that he was buying a place in Qatar because he likes the city. As an American, he said he can do what he wants. Qatar has financed the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas leaders do still live in Qatar. Laura Løømer thinks Tucker is going to convert to Islam. I don’t know about that, but lately he has been speaking up for radical Islam during interviews, downplaying the invasion of Europe, and minimizing Hamas’s actions while harshly criticizing Israel.”

‘…See how a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could unfold…’
IMO?
An EMP followed by Drones.
Lots of drones.
China has the capacity thanks to every Western Administration since Dick Nixon.
Millions of autonomous hunter/killers swarming a grid until nothing moves then shifting forward, followed by airborne and amphibious troops. This would provide relatively undamaged infrastructure and deny the defense concealment in the rubble.
Remember Stalingrad?
Rubble made great cover and concealment, the most effective weapon became a sharp shovel, the Russian SPETSNAZ still use them.
Could be it will unfold as the ‘experts’ think but so far, most ‘experts’ refight the last war that their favorite side won.

It is legal to purchase Ivermectin pills OTC in Texas…you’ve always been able to get the lotion 0.5% OTC. You just have to ask the pharmacist for the pills. The lotion is on the shelf.

That is a very good thing. It is truly a wonder drug. During covid I kept a tube of horse paste in the house for me, but I didn’t need it.
One of my horses gets conjunctivitis in the spring and summer when the flies get bad. (Fly masks don’t completely work.) Used to be able to get the eye ointment for it over the counter in feed stores “Terramycin”. Now you need a prescription, ridiculous. Last summer as I was finishing the 2nd tube and her eye wasn’t completely cleared up, I coincidentally wormed her with ivermectin horse de-wormer. Well, the next day it was way better and cleared up by day 2. Now if she gets it I just give her a dose of ivermectin and poof! All gone.

The rise and fall of the American Bar Association | Jonathan Turley, Opinion Contributor, December 6th
This week, the Federal Trade Commission issued a little-noticed letter to the Texas Supreme Court that could have a significant impact on the legal profession. The state justices are exploring a radical change in bar admissions, seeking alternatives to the American Bar Association.

In their letter, FTC officials indicated that they view the ABA as an effective monopoly in bar admissions. The potential state change itself may be less important than how the ABA itself has changed in bringing about these growing calls for separation from the roughly 150-year-old organization.

In the fall, the Texas Supreme Court issued a tentative opinion that declared that the ABA “should no longer have the final say on whether a law school’s graduates are eligible to sit for the Texas bar exam and become licensed to practice law.”

There are many accrediting organizations for colleges and universities, not just one. Do the same for bar exams.

I thought it was significant that Turley wrote about it. His voice on a topic such as this carries a certain weight…

The Texas Supreme Court is more than correct on that. The ABA is nothing more than a leftist labor union, and suppresses any conservative viewpoints from members.
Heck, in the 1970’s anyone could take the bar exam and if they passed, they were licensed as attorneys in Texas.
It was a MUCH better world back then.

RE: Minnesota Tax Cheats

DOJ & IRS , subpoena every Minnesota NGO’s Tax Form 990.
Tax form 990 is required for every Non- Profit in America to show a paper a trail for said public finances.

Things would be a whole lot more ‘ AFFORDABLE ‘ if States didn’t allow foreign nationals to rip- off our National Treasury.

Make NGO’s legal again.

Utah’s Hi-Fi murders shocked the nation 50 years ago… [50 years ago… in 2024]
What drove the news: Four men held up two employees at gunpoint in the [downtown Ogden] Hi-Fi Shop on April 22, 1974, binding them in the basement and robbing the store.

A 16-year-old boy arrived to speak with the shop owner and was also taken hostage, along with his mother and the father of an employee, both of whom had shown up to look for their kids. [The story is a bit gruesome…]

Well, Tampon Tim and Sister/Brother marriage enthusiast Illham Omar are claiming not to have any connection with the Somali Grifters they were pictured with, all while claiming Trump HAS TO BE guilty of going to Loloita Island because a photo of Trump and Epstein at a party proves Yrump is a child molester.

Anyway, the non-federal law-abiding idiots running the “sanctuary state” of Minnesota, (which famously doesn’t recognize federal law regarding immigration) will now probably declare they don’t recognize federal laws such as RICO, embezzling, and fraud either, so they can get off of helping those same grifters heist over a billion dollars of our money to fund foreign terrorists, buy luxury crap for themselves, etc.

(And people tell me Texas can’t secede from (this soon to be third world “Union”, cause it’s against federal law)

The museum they opened in 2010 on shore is great if you get the chance to go. The museum is part of the tour out to see the Arizona. You are only allowed 15 minutes in the Arizona Memorial and the navy is strict about that so if you want to really want to see it all plan on 2 or 3 visits. The museum you can stay at all day once inside. Was worth every penny it cost us to go see it.
