BOMBSHELL! Report confirms Trump authorized 10,000 troops for Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
BOMBSHELL! Report confirms Trump authorized 10,000 troops for Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
A bombshell report has confirmed that President Donald Trump authorized 10,000 troops to be at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, because of the possibly rowdy crowd he expected there for the vote in Congress to adopt the Electoral College results giving the White House to Joe Biden.
The revelation simply destroys the Democrats long-held and daily-promoted ideology that Trump was trying for an "insurrection" on that day, a move which by definition involves the overthrow of a government and the takeover by another of all finances, military decisions, foreign policy decisions and more.
That's because it would be inconceivable that a president would summon 10,000 troops who would be in opposition to him if that actually was his plan.

- climate taxes,
- 'carbon credits,'
- banning cow farts,
- prohibiting new petrol-powered vehicle sales by X date, and
- pushing spending bills to procure more solar panels from China, to save the planet...
The problem is that corporate media only focuses on recent history - and not "in context" (as they love to say). Context is particularly important when it comes to climate change - as their narrative collapses when looking at a long enough timeline.
To wit... a funny thing happened when the Washington Post tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the "disaster of global warming" ...
Left brings political terror back to the mainstream with Trump attacks | Blaze Media
Left brings political terror back to the mainstream with Trump attacks | Blaze Media:
If progressives continue feeding their supporters a steady diet of apocalyptic rhetoric designed to provoke extreme reactions, a portion of that audience will take it seriously. The left is so self-righteous in its beliefs and so confident in its power that leftists genuinely think they can encourage multiple assassination attempts on the opposition candidate without facing any consequences.
Democratic politicians and their media allies are treading on extremely dangerous ground. This kind of escalation is a disastrous game with no winners. If any cooler heads remain on the political left, they must stop their party’s embrace of political violence. The path they’re speeding down leads only to a terrible outcome, one that no true patriot would want for this country.

'Bull****. This is systemic': Army won't identify consequences for briefing that designated pro-life groups as terrorists | Blaze Media:
Members of the House Armed Services Committee grilled the U.S. Army's deputy chief of staff for operations, plans, and training this week over the recent revelation that nearly 10,000 soldiers at North Carolina's Fort Liberty — called Fort Bragg prior to the Biden-Harris administration — were trained to believe that pro-life organizations qualify as "terrorist groups."
Lt. Gen. Patrick Matlock suggested during the Thursday hearing that corrective action has been taken, though he was altogether light on details, refusing to indicate whether someone had actually been fired, suspended, and/or demoted for likening champions of the unborn to mass-killing jihadists.

Why Do Media Think Democrats Are Worth Cheating For? I & I Editorial Board
It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party...
- To quickly recap, the unnamed whistleblower said ABC agreed to fact-check Trump while ensuring “Harris would not face comparable scrutiny.”
- The affidavit also says Harris was provided with sample questions that, while not the exact questions that would be asked, nevertheless “covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.”
- There were also issues that could not be raised – Joe Biden’s health; Harris’ performance as San Francisco’s district attorney; her brother-in-law and “key campaign adviser” Tony West, who allegedly “fleeced taxpayers for billions to give to left-wing groups and lawyers” – since they would reflect poorly on Harris.
It was as if the whistleblower got a copy of the script.
So much of what is asserted checks out with what everyone saw.
- It also looks bad for the network because Dana Walden, a Disney co-chair who oversees ABC News, has been a close friend of Harris since the 1980s, and their husbands closer for even longer.
- Trump would have fared better if the debate had been on another network, but he says the Harris team insisted that she would debate only on ABC...
Threat by Kamala Harris to 'walk into' homes of gun owners previews her plan for totalitarianism, Tucker charges * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Threat by Kamala Harris to 'walk into' homes of gun owners previews her plan for totalitarianism, Tucker charges * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Kamala Harris' plans to attack gun owners, as she outlined when she was a prosecutor in California, is a preview of her agenda for totalitarianism, according to commentator Tucker Carlson.
WND already has reported on her proclamation that any time they wanted, police could walk into a home and check whether the resident was doing what they wanted with his or her guns.
Now Carlson has commented: "This is openly totalitarian. If we don't resist this, we're done."
A warning!-----My French Teacher Was Beloved for 25 Years. Then She Was Asked About Hijabs. | The Free Press
After Spence fired beloved French teacher Anne Protopappas, “overnight, I felt demonized, discredited, disqualified, and delegitimized,” she said. Now she’s suing the school. - By M.J. KochProtopappas’s firing stems from a May 2023 incident that took place in her Advanced French class, which was being taken by eight Spence seniors.
- Out of the blue, according to the complaint, one student asked, “Why did France ban the hijab?”
- Protopappas said she responded by thanking the student and then giving the class some background about why the French law banning hijabs and all other visible religious symbols in public K-12 schools was in accordance with the country’s belief in secularism, or laïcité. She said she invited the class to consider the pros and cons of this law, which came into being after a nationwide debate in which some Muslim women advocated to protect young students from family pressures to wear the veil.
- According to Protopappas’s complaint, the student who had asked the question, Sarai Wilks, “unexpectedly burst out of anger and displayed an uncharacteristically emotional and intensely personal reaction to the discussion, focusing on how unfair the French law was to her friend from her former school on the West Coast who wore the hijab.”
- Sarai is not just any student. She is the daughter of the head of school, Felicia Wilks, who began her tenure in July 2022...

“What is a small business application?” Roth begins. “When I started my business, I didn’t have to apply at the federal level.”
“What does this mean? Because we have 33-plus million small businesses, but that only grows on net less than one million a year. So how is it possible that we have 19 million new application starts? And so far, no one’s really been able to give me an answer,” Roth explains.
Lies always follow dirty money-----Pentagon Gives $1.5 Million To Dem Activist’s Fake Meat Laboratory
“America’s foreign enemies are laughing at us." By Spencer Lindquist
The Department of Defense awarded nearly $1.5 million in taxpayer money to a Democratic donor’s company, which makes fake lab-grown meat from fermented fungus.
The Better Meat Company, which uses fungus protein to make fake meat in a lab, is led by CEO Paul Shapiro, an activist with a history of donating to Democrats.

- “We are investing in sources of protein such as chickpeas and tofu. The Department is not funding research into ‘lab-grown’ or ‘fake meat’ – nor does it have plans to include such protein substitutes in service members’ MREs,” the Pentagon spokesman went on to say.
- The grant will, however, fund a “facility for mycoprotein ingredients,” the same exact ingredient used to create the fake meat...

YOU’D THINK THIS WOULD BE BIGGER NEWS: An Arrest for Supreme Court Threats.
