FarmlandInc:
But Trump appointed the current FBI director, why nominate another person, when the current FBI term has not expired.
With this nomination of Kashyap Patel to FBI and that of Peter Kushner, as Ambassador to France, Trump is surrounding himself with criminals just like himself. The next administration would be full of criminals.
Trump was a novice in matters Washington. Chris Wray was recommended by Gov Christie.
The FBI being the largest funded criminal org in history sought to taint every maga supporter it could . You very well know that if you are a target the FBI will definitely find a crime you committed or a sleazy stunt you pulled.
The democrats thought that they could finish off Trump and his supporters. Little did they know that he had a Guardian angel.
Elections have consequences you know

I trust America more than China or Russia as the only superpower.
America , Japan, S Korea and the EU for example have a moral way of doing things, protect rights and freedoms of their people though some of their leaders are selfish.
China and Russia. Are not trustworthy at all, if they had the power America has they would bludgeon weaker nations
China is not charitable at all like the countries I mentioned

Media sinking below depravity.
Hegseth mom sent him an email while he was in the divorce process accusing him of mistreating women, unfaithful and an abuser of their rights.....

NYT published the email. This email is private.

What they didn't publish was that his mom wrote the email out of anger like any mom would and that a few days she sent him another email apologizing for her outburst.

Middle East crisis . The sunni Shia conflict goes back to the founding of Islam. The two major groupings with 85% being Sunni are in a forever conflict that is playing out in Shia Syria.
However when it comes to a common enemy the two factions unite. Their enemy first and foremost is the Jews , the Christians and every other sect that refuses to convert in that order.
Shia Iran wants dominance in the ME and has proxies among the Shia in Yemen Houthis, Iraq where they are the majority, Syria Shia sects where they are the minority.
In Syria Abbas is a dictator, forced by the west and turkey into a corner where the Iran regime gave him a lifeline. Add Russia with its only overseas port in Tartus. Russia aligns with American enemy Iran.
Turkey wants to depose Abbas for its own influence and preserve sunni supremacy.
Most of Arab nations cannot survive in a democracy, they are only stable under an inheritance monarchy or an outright dictator. Give them unbridled democracy and they descend into civil war
Assad is secular, he doesn't impose religion on the Syrians.The jihadists Al Qaeda linked want power and sharia.
Iran supports Hamas so does Qatar fund it.When it's against their enemy they unite.
If that theocracy in Iran would be removed, there would be peace in most of the area. Iranians can survive a democracy easily, most are highly educated but are led by an Ayatollah and a brutal one who thinks it's his divine right to lord over the Persians.
Turkey is supporting these jihadists. Definitely if these jihadists take territory they will impose sharia. If they remove Assad, Suriya hopefully becomes like Afghanistan eventually after turning immediately into a Libya.

Donald Trump threatens 100% tarriffs on any country that threatens to create the BRICS currency.
Can the four major BRICS survive without exporting anything to the US market. Or rather is his bluster effective, how would China survive without the US market?
The world I don't think is content in having China as the guarantor of peace and a stable currency.
As far as I can tell America can manufacture most of everything to almost 100% without depending on other countries save for higher prices.

Or can you post me to two posts by two tumpers who have the same understanding of what his tariff policy is?
Slogans aren't policy.

And no one is saying they deserve "all the bad things in life".
They deserve the things they voted for. You are the one interpreting that as "all the bad things in life".
He crushed ISIS killing PhD Caliph Ali Baghdad. Repercussions. Terrorists were not happy.
Killing Gen Solemani. Terror groups not happy, Khamenei felt like he had been castrated.

He had lot of policies that were good, this reply is crafted especially for you because you love terrorists, The above three are part of the sources of your anger towards Trump

Kash Patel nominee for FBI director. Mass resignations looming. Andrew McCabe one of the main drivers of Russia hoax ran to CNN to claim he is not qualified.
There will be weeping , wailing and gnashing of teeth next year. Instead of FBI doing its job, it turned all it's attention to taking out Trump and crushing the maga movement. Cris Wray turned FBI ino the investigative arm of the democrats and RINOs. His name will live in infamy. He called parents protesting pornographyy in school libraries domestic terrorists and went after them. Praying outside abortion clinics is done by domestic terrorists. J6 protesters he targeted them. He went after Trump soiling Melania underwear in her closet. He sat on laptop from hell and watched Trump get impeached while he knew the Biden were corrupt He played a key role fotmenting J6. He sat on Weiner laptop , which has hundreds of thousands of Hillary Clinton emails. He raided Epstein island and buried whatever bones they found there. He sits on the list of paedophiles who abused children : trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine. Tulsi Gabbard was also put on a terrorist list under Wray.He said 2020 was not rigged, I'm very sure the FBI knew how,when,where and who were the masterminds of the fraud,but Wray sat on it The FBI investigates everything but they don't act on it if the interests of Washington DC swamp are going to be negatively affected.The FBI has been entrapping citizens to commit crimes in order to appear good eg several terror attacks, Michigan Governor kidnap attempt,J6 protests, etc.

Kash Patel. You have a tough job surrounded by weasels and scoundrels. Wray is a prime candidate for the hangman.

Can't wait for Documentaries on how the swamp took control of the govt and finally lost.
Kash Patel worked under Devin Nunes to discover the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign. He authored a report that FBI refused to declassify .A copy of the report sent missing, the Mar a Lago raid was looking for that copy.
He will be thf FBI director? Popcorns futures has never been brighter.
The worst criminal organisation I'm America, FBI will be cleansed , the demons exorcised and banished to Martha's Vineyard where they belong.
Trump team this time is nothing like the 2016 backstabbers.
Director Wray getting done good advice. Remain in DC area.

Barrack Hussein Obama.
He had his Obama 3. 0 . Now it's all gone . No Obama 4.0
Obama would have looked like a traitor if he had asked Biden to resign. He prevailed upon his tight buddy George Clooney to pen Ann article asking Biden to quit. His wife Amal Clooney wrote it.
Now that Kamala lost everyone is turning on Clooney and not Obama. Blaming Clooney for the DEI candidate loss.
Amal Clooney a Lebanon American is highly connected via the UN and WEF. She played a key role in ICC sham warrants of arrest against Netanyahu.

Trump also needs to have this guy Plouffe questioned The AG can simply declare there was a plot to destroy Trump, get a warrant, take away every doc from him , make him lawyer up. Drag him through grand juries, He must have committed done crime somehow or was thinking about it Charge him.

" David Plouffe, a senior advisor to the Harris campaign, is on record saying "It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again."

Budaatum I'm looking for a way where I can extract all my posts on HCL and Ivermectin including your responses
That's besides the point Report shows HCL would have saved countless lives. Trump was right but they vilified him day and night .

https://brownstone.org/articles/trumps-63-million-doses-of-hydroxychloroquine-could-have-been-great-for-america/

Early in the pandemic, President Donald Trump and White House senior official Peter Navarro arranged the donation of 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to America’s strategic drug stockpile to combat Covid-19. The government began securing HCQ in March 2020, after Trump, on the advice of his medical and scientific advisors, lauded HCQ as “very encouraging,” “very powerful,” and a “game-changer.”
Sadly, instead of embracing President Trump’s HCQ proposal, the medical establishment and the media undertook an unprecedented attack on HCQ:
Following Trump’s proposal, HCQ suddenly came under an unwarranted full-scale attack from federal officials, the press, so-called “fact-checkers,” and university professors. Many of the attacks contained outright falsehoods about HCQ’s pharmacology and safety or Trump’s endeavor to make HCQ available to eligible patients.


Why did they attack HCL? Because the vaccine would never have been granted an Emergency User Authorization EUA from the FDA if there was just one drug on the market that was alleviating COVID sickness . I rattled about this endlessly.

cc Ibime who also went tongs and hammer on me IIRC

Its a matter of public interest to know exactly what Faucci, Gates Pfizer etc were upto during this period.
Also how the democrats led by Marc Elias ( who failed to reverse Pennsylvania Senate seat few days ago) manipulated the COVID pandemic to have Joe Biden rigged in.
Stuff for the movies about to be unleashed.

Democrats and fraud in 2020 census They over counted in democrat states They undercounted in Republican states.
Just a clerical error


The 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey found statistically significant miscounts in the 2020 Census in 14 states.

The Biden administration’s Census Bureau revealed in May 2022 that it undercounted the Republican-leaning states of Arkansas by 5%, Florida by 3.4%, Mississippi by 4.11%, Tennessee by 4.78%, and Texas by 1.92%. The Census Bureau undercounted one Democratic-leaning state, Illinois, by 1.97%.

The Census Bureau overcounted Biden’s home state of Delaware by 5.45% as well as other Democratic-leaning states: Hawaii by 6.79%, Massachusetts by 2.24%, Minnesota by 3.84%, New York by 3.44%, and Rhode Island by 5%. It also overcounted two Republican-leaning states, Ohio by 1.49% and Utah by 2.59%.

Kamala Harris returns from vacation. She delivered a masterclass of a speech that would rival the "I have a dream" .

I JUST have to remind you—don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5th.

And you have the same purpose that you did.

And you have the same ability to engage and inspire, so don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.

They'll be kicked out faster. Now that but democrats, Indie and Republicans seem to be on the same wavelength about many issues.
Trump is thoroughly prepared this time.. FBI background checks are one way they controlled who Trump could nominate in 2016-17.

Donald Trump’s transition team is planning for all political appointees to receive sweeping security clearances on the first day and only face FBI background checks after the incoming administration takes over the bureau and its own officials are installed in key positions, according to people familiar with the matter.

The move appears to mean that Trump’s team will continue to skirt FBI vetting and may not receive classified briefings until Trump is sworn in on 20 January and unilaterally grant sweeping security clearances across the administration.


Makes a lot of sense. You can't have guys appointed by Biden to determine whom Trump can appoint.

They want GOP to have very narrow advantage in congress. With some RINOs they can block legislation. Sore loser Kevin McCarthy also wants the current speaker out .
These delayed counting usually ends up with enough votes circa democrat win.

Canadian town plus it's mayor fined $$$$ to a pride group.
When does this shit stop?

The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has found the township of Emo will have to pay damages after refusing to proclaim Pride Month back in 2020.

Borderland Pride requested Emo to declare June as Pride Month and display a rainbow flag for one week but the township refused, resulting in a years-long process in which the tribunal ruled against the township.

The tribunal ruled Borderland Pride will be awarded $15,000, with $10,000 coming from the township itself and the other $5,000 coming from Emo mayor Harold McQuaker.

Doug Judson is a lawyer in Fort Frances and one of the directors on the board of Borderland Pride, and said they're elated to have finally brought it to a close and is a significant victory for the organization.

Trump should go hard on him Where in the world does a case get dismissed then prosecutor releases his findings? And the case can be reopened for that corrupt Chutkan did not dismiss it with prejudice.
