I don't pompeo knew anything. Except the declassified document proves he was involved
He knew it all.. Many of Trumps appointment were just there to stab him in the back in pursuit of their own agenda.
Bill Barr also knew everything, but he kept quiet.
Gina Haspel. She was London CIA Chief when FBI visited there after hearing reports that Australian diplomat had held a dinner with Papadopoulos.
“On July 31st, 2016 the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign. They did not inform congress until March 2017. •At the beginning of August (1st-3rd) 2016 FBI Agent Peter Strzok traveled to London, England for interviews with UK intelligence officials. •On August 15th, 2016 Peter Strzok sends a text message to DOJ Lawyer Lisa Page describing the “insurance policy“, needed in case Hillary Clinton were to lose the election.

Effectively a lot of people ,from.Paul Ryan to Mike Pence worked behind the scenes to get rid of Trump.

Trump is not God to know who is who. The first FBI Director he appointed was against him and supported the Russia collusion cooked up by Hillary Clinton and Obama.
He was new to Washington DC , his nominations were suggested to him by wolves in sheepskins .
Pompeo and Gina Haspel former CIA directors knew everything about the fake Russian hoax and locked up the documents. They kept quiet as the hoax was pushed out to discredit Trump.

China has announced an immediate, nationwide prohibition on cryptocurrency trading, mining and all related services, marking its most sweeping action against the sector to date. The move, disclosed on 3 August, extends earlier piecemeal restrictions into an outright ban that covers exchanges, over-the-counter platforms and mining operations.

Regulators said the decision was driven by mounting concerns over financial stability, the potential for capital flight and the significant energy consumption tied to large-scale mining. The statement did not specify enforcement measures, but prior crackdowns have included the closure of domestic exchanges and the expulsion of miners from key provinces.

HOO BOY: Dems Could Lose 25 House Seats If SCOTUS Ends Race-Based Gerrymandering


The Supreme Court is poised to rehear Louisiana v. Callais, a case involving revised Congressional maps that created two Black-majority districts in a state where Blacks are 1/3 of the population. Race-based gerrymandering falls under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a tool that allows challenges to racial discrimination in voting laws.

If -- and that's a big if -- SCOTUS limits or redefines Section 2, it could spell bad news for Democrats.


25 seats is huge number. I have seen democrats say the ruling president usually loses the house or Senate in the midterms

Fyi. The goal of government jobs isn't to make profit, but to fulfill services.
The services that the fired employees offered were essential that's why there are things like:
-lack of flood warnings,
-huge increases in wait times for seniors seeking Social Security, (forcing the agency to slot in other untrained employees from other departments which decreased the efficiency and has a cost in itself in new training and further deficiencies in the departments they came from)
and of course, agencies scrambling to hire employees back.

You live in this weird world, where facts and logic don't matter.
You seem not to understand how the government works. Or you do and you're doing your intellectual dishonest thing again.

FBI director does seem to have some goods on the enemedia.


FBI Director Kash Patel

In 2017/18, I proved the Steele Dossier was fictitious intelligence, weaponized by corrupt FBI officials to deceive a federal judge and unlawfully spy on then presidential candidate Trump’s campaign- all paid for by his opponent.

The media called me a liar.

Now I’m the FBI Director:
We just uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files, including the Durham annex, and declassified them.

Once again, I released the prior FBI’s own documents and exposed the truth.

The same media is calling me a liar again.
Maybe this FBI will release more docs directly, from FBI HQ... so we can see who is lying- wouldn't want to deprive the fake news of more bogus Pulitzers.

And then…

I have a stinky feeling Ben Rhodes was or is still coordinating the main stream media. He was the best Obama propagandist. Anytime an issue cropped up,he could on the fly immediately craft talking points for media and democrats to use. He was present in a Dec 9 2016 meeting chaired by Susan Rice which reviewed intelligence community assessment that Russia didn't interfere in 2016 elections . They faked a new narrative.

So since I'm still gloating. Tulsi Gabbard has said she has more info on 2020 elections.
Not bamboo. Budaatum. But FBI knew the Dominion voting machines had vulnerability. FBI hid this evidence going on to claim that Joe Biden got 81 million votes He didn't, I think maybe around 72m democrat dumbo stolen votes
They stole 2020. They should give Trump a 3rd term.

Let me gloat a lil bit. I've been writing since 2016 saying Trump never colluded and the pesky Putin never helped him win in 2022.
I've been called a conspiracy theorist by a lot of you but I soldiered on .

So let's do a recap.
Hillary was facing email investigation regarding her server. She approves turning the spotlight by making it appear Trump was Putin puppet.
She with FBi, Fusion GPS, media , Mueller, Obama spin a narrative that she lost because of Putin.

That has been proven absolutely certainly false. She personally approved the fake claims. The FBI ran with it.

I want apologies.

President Donald J. Trump has filed a motion in federal court to compel the expedited deposition of 94-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch, accusing the Wall Street Journal and its parent company, News Corp., of publishing a “fake” and defamatory article that falsely connected Trump to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.


According to the filing, Trump personally called Murdoch after his team was tipped off by WSJ reporter Joseph Palazzolo. During that call, Murdoch allegedly told Trump he would “take care of it.” Instead, the article was published anyway.


Joe Biden and Obama had the letter if it wasn't planted by the Gestapo.
Why they didn't release it.

$20B is doable if the purported letter is indeed produced and verified fake.
The publishers knew that Trump knew that they were about to publish it.

New York will soon require most new buildings to be fully electric, following a vote by the state Building Code Council, according to the Times Union. Beginning January 2026, gas and oil systems will be banned in newly constructed homes and low-rise buildings, with broader mandates kicking in by 2029.
After liberals war on hydrocarbon power generation,New York electricity bill have risen
...The 27.2 cents per kWh that New York households paid for electricity in December 2024 was 54.5 percent above the nationwide average cost of 17.6 cents per kWh. Last December, electricity costs in New York were 24.1 cents per kWh, 42.6 percent above the national average of 16.9 cents. Electricity prices in the New York area have been at least 40 percent above the national average over the previous five Decembers.

Climate change cult. No gas heating in new buildings in order to reduce emissions.
The goal of these people is to have more government control on what people can do. They will be bam Internal Combustion Engines in the near future .

AI data centres , Big tech cloud storage centres and Crypto mining rigs are power hungry. Expect no new investments thanks to a bunch of liberals who think electricity comes the wall sockets.

America gas is more expensive than Qatari. EU negotiates a discounted price , then Chevron Mobil etc get to deliver it

I've collated some views wrt America
EU deal.
EU will buy $750B of gas to reduce Russia dependency. Last I checked EU is a 27 nation block. It doesn't buy anything,best it can do is negotiate on behalf of it's members. Countries within EU according to the agreement have the option of buying Qatari gas for example if it's cheaper. Definitely it is due to distance and abundance.

Catch. EU countries don't export too much to above example Qatar. They do intra trade and quite a number main export is to America.
They will buy LNG gas at a higher price from America. But thats the beauty of contractual futures and hedging.
