So, the Ukrainians used a drone to strike at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. NPP—that’s Nuclear Power Plant. Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo Russia says Ukraine hit it! As a result of the shelling of the city of Energodar by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a fire broke out at the Zaporizhzhya NPP cooling systems facility. Currently, all 6 power units of the station are in cold shutdown, there is no threat of a steam explosion or other consequences. The radiation background around the NPP and the city of Energodar is normal. The Ministry of Emergency Situations employees are working at the scene of the fire, the fire sources are being eliminated. There is no threat to the plant.

It’s mid-August and the headlines are increasingly looming around the Ukraine v Russia conflict. (snip)
The last week or so has highlighted a marked increase in urgency and hostility amid those in the CIA/DoS who control the events in Ukraine. Everything about this insufferable World War Reddit is sketchy, including the ongoing absence of any frontline reporters anywhere in the “battlefield” giving updates on what we are told is intense fighting.
I have never seen a war that did not have a single journalist war correspondent,clad in a helmet and flak jacket, giving updates on what is happening on the ground from a location near the battle zone.
Anyone who considers themselves a political analyst yet doesn’t watch this guy closely is missing the forest while staring at trees. Team James Clyburn and Team Barack Obama head the control mechanisms within the private corporation known as the DNC, the club apparatus.
In this recent interview Clyburn talks about how he views the state contests and the expanding electoral map he needs. If you know the game, if you truly understand how the ballot collection game is played, then you understand Clyburn is hedging his AME bets because he has to.
Clyburn’s strength is also his weakness,
White Riot: Anarchy in the U.K.

“White riot—I wanna riot—white riot—a riot of my own!” So sang U.K. punk rockers the Clash in their 1977 debut single, “White Riot.” Well, now Britain has numerous white riots of its own, all across the country, following the recent mass stabbing of little girls at a dance class in the seaside town of Southport on 29 July, the named suspect for which is a supposed “Welshman” of black Rwandan parentage.n(snip)When in Leeds,

A federal grand jury indicted executives of the voting machine company Smartmatic, along with the Philippines’ former top elections official, Thursday for participating in an “alleged bribery and money laundering scheme.” Smartmatic is currently suing conservative media outlets over their 2020 election reporting. Roger Piñate and Jorge Vasquez are accused of taking part in a scheme that involved laundering money and paying $1 million in bribes to Juan Andres Bautista, former chair of the Philippines Commission on Elections, from 2015 to 2018, according to a Department of Justice press release. The “co-conspirators” allegedly bribed Bautista to “obtain

How Kamala Climbed the Peaks of DEI

The media are hopping mad about Republicans referring to Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire.”
(snip)”
Apparently, it’s racist to notice that DEI exists.
(snip)
The most easily fooled Republican, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, took all this to heart and lectured his fellow Republicans not to use the “DEI attack.” (“Totally stupid.”) His argument is: “Look, I disagree with DEI, but she is the vice president of the United States.(snip)
So was Dan Quayle. I don’t remember liberals stoically refusing to sneer about Quayle being a silver spoon, golf-loving WASP.

as California’s attorney general, Harris was the one who deceived voters into passing propositions that unleashed a criminal hellscape
The selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris has led to intense debates over crime policy, war claims, gender identity policies and other issues.
Some attacks have, in my view, been inaccurate or overwrought. However, the greatest danger from this ticket is neither speculative nor sensational. A Harris-Walz administration would be a nightmare for free speech.
For over three years, the Biden-Harris administration has sustained an unrelenting attack on the freedom of speech, from supporting a massive censorship system (described by a federal court as an “Orwellian Ministry of Truth“) to funding blacklisting operations targeting groups and individuals with opposing views.

Noticing the outlet with the story is always the first step in identifying the motive behind it.
Together with the New York Times, Politico is the most favored outlet by the FBI, DOJ and domestic IC apparatus. snip)
(snip)Politico is told by Trump officials they are holding “foreign originated” “hacked documents” from a “senior official inside the Trump campaign.” This is the exact scenario that Politico and the aligned media railed against on behalf of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Now, however, the same Politico is running to the typeset to share what they previously said was illegal to report and share.
They’ve got nothing. But keep watching.
People should become familiar with the THIRD AMENDMENT to the United States Constitution. It is there for a very specific reason.
Amendment III – No ¹soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
¹I would argue the armed person protecting the president or vice-president meets the general guidelines for a soldier in peacetime.
The U.S. Secret Service, assigned to the detail of Vice-President Kamala Harris, broke into a private residence in order to avail themselves and their contingents to the bathroom facilities of an American citizen without permission.
This is the simple albeit massive question that even President Trump himself doesn’t spend time thinking about. Melania does.
♦ To stop him in 2016, the FBI and DOJ ran a comprehensive surveillance operation against his campaign. The same people manufactured a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2017, the DOJ and Congress ran a comprehensive Special Counsel operation against his presidency. The justification of the SC operation was to prove a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia.
Prior to his passing, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects–but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us.

But Obama was not always so worried about misspellings and radical resemblances. He may even have cultivated them as he cast himself as Chicago’s
In a discussion about Vice President Kamala Harris’ stunning surge in the polls last week, podcaster Joe Rogan stated the obvious: “She’s the least popular vice president of all time, and then in a moment in time, all of a sudden she’s our solution.”
Rogan is right. The vice president who has been a national joke for four years, tapped by President Joe Biden because he’d promised his base he would choose a woman of color, has suddenly become a serious contender in the presidential race. And now she’s picked a radical Minnesota governor with a disastrous record to round out her ticket.

'Being on the Tarmac at Bagram' During

Speaking to a crowd of veterans on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked about his time in the National Guard and missing a year of his daughter's life, then immediately followed that reference with a story about standing on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base and watching a ramp ceremony, and the emotional effect that had on him.
If listeners knew nothing else about Walz, they'd believe that he missed a year of his daughter's life because he deployed for combat and saw some hard things. But, as we all know now, that's not the case. He deployed to Italy
Joe Biden held his first interview today since being pushed out of the 2024 presidential race.
Biden spoke to CBS’ Robert Costa in an interview taped for Sunday morning and stated that he left the race despite claiming he was in a dead heat with Trump in the polls (he wasn’t). But Democrats were concerned that his struggles would hurt them in down-ballot races.
He also seemingly confirmed one critical part of the coup: Nancy Pelosi pressured him to drop out behind the scenes due to her concerns over him losing and dragging Congress down with him.

Middle East, tells aircraft carrier to

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and is telling the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area, the Defense Department said Sunday.
The moves come as the U.S. and other allies push for Israel and Hamas to achieve a cease-fire agreement that could help calm soaring tensions in the region following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut. Officials have been on the lookout for retaliatory strikes by both Iran and Hezbollah for the killings, and the U.S. has been beefing up
This was clearly an unforeseen development coming out of the United Kingdom. As we recently discussed, unrest has been growing among the Brits over the massive migration of illegal aliens to their shores, similar to what's been seen in the United States over the past couple of years.[snip] Not only don't they want people protesting in the streets, but they are looking to silence any complaints being made online. And he's not limiting the threat to only UK citizens. He's threatening to extradite and imprison Americans who sympathize with the cause of the protesters. This is a position that he needs to rethink very quickly.
The European Commission is threatening X owner Elon Musk with possible legal consequences for his plans to air an uncensored interview with former president Donald Trump, and calling for Musk to balance the importance of free expression with the need to suppress “harmful” content.
European Commissioner for the internal market Thierry Breton, one of the world’s most aggressive tech regulators, warned Musk that his planned Monday night interview with Trump could violate the Digital Services Act, or DSA, if X does not limit the spread of certain forms of online speech connected to the interview.
As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his police chief were frantically calling Governor Tim Walz in the summer of 2020 to save a besieged police precinct, Governor Tim Walz refused to send National Guard soldiers to help the beleaguered police officers. Later, in rationalizing and justifying his conscious decision to let riots metastasize, Walz said the Guard wasn't up to the task. [tweet] He went on to say, "Putting a young troop with limited experience in the military with a loaded automatic weapon in the middle of a system with no one giving him direction
That was on Wednesday, by the time Walz finally authorized the deployment of "19-year-old" cooks,
Republican vice presidential candidate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), fact-checked CNN’s Dana Bash, telling her that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) “knew he was going to Iraq.”
During an interview with Bash on Sunday, Vance clarified that Walz “lied” when he had said he did not know his unit would be deployed to Iraq at the time he had “decided to retire.” “On the question of when he left the National Guard, he filed his election paperwork, February 10th, 2005,” Bash told him. “That was a month before the National Guard even announced that it was possible that they would deploy to Iraq and it ended up being two months —
A 'Conservative' Columnist Endorses Harris
14 replies
I finished Megan Basham's "Shepherds for Sale" over the weekend. Paula is working on getting her for an interview for the podcast, and if that happens, it should be an eye-opening discussion. Basham's book outlines how progressive forces have infiltrated the Evangelical churches of America to undermine the conservative presence in those churches and flip them blue. Basham asserts that this effort is well-funded and occurs across multiple fronts, often aided and abetted by Christian and conservative thought leaders. One of those leaders, according to Basham, is David French. French was once a columnist for National Review before jumping ship for the Left.
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris could possibly win the state of Texas in November.
Host Jen Psaki said, “I want to ask you, you’ve seen a lot of presidential candidates run. Vice President Harris and Tim Walz are clearly creating a lot of excitement out there. Do you think this is enough? Is Texas a pipe dream or should people hold their hope out for Texas in 2024 or is it going to take a little longer?”
O’Rourke said, “The thing is you now see Democrats smiling. There is joy in our party. There’s electricity moving through the system. Yes
A Washington Post ‘reporter’ on Monday asked Karine Jean-Pierre what Biden is going to do to stop Trump’s live X interview with Elon Musk on Monday night.
President Trump is back on X after taking some time away from the social media platform.
Trump tweeted a campaign ad ahead of his highly anticipated live interview with Elon Musk on Monday evening at 8 pm ET.
Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson wants the government to intervene to shut Trump down with just a few months to go until Election Day.

Support For Her Signature Policies? I&I/TIPP Poll 13 replies
While presidential candidate Kamala Harris avoids media questions about her proposed policies, both she and her progressive allies in the Democratic Party are already on record as favoring a number of highly controversial proposals, ranging from defunding the police to free college education. But do average Americans agree? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll provides answers.
The national online poll of 1,488 adults, taken from July 31-August 2, shows it’s a mixed bag. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. It starts with a neutral question: “To what extent do you support or oppose the following actions?” That’s followed by 11 policy actions
Former President Donald Trump is set to sue the Justice Department for $100 million in damages over the government’s unprecedented 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, with lawyers arguing it was done with "clear intent to engage in political persecution."
Fox News has obtained Trump’s memo claiming "tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump." Trump and his legal team intend to sue the Justice Department for its conduct during the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, 2022, amid the federal investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records.
