A Conversation with Jake Tapper
A Conversation with Jake Tapper
CNN’s Jake Tapper is one of the most respected people in news today. As CNN’s chief Washington anchor and co-host of “State of the Union,” Tapper has sat down with presidents, covered inaugurations, and continues to interview senators, dignitaries and newsmakers week in and week out.

Taking us into the world of political stars Charlie and Margaret Marder, Tapper re-creates the world of the 1960s, complete with backroom deals and secret societies. In this new journey, they befriend dazzling celebrities like Frank Sinatra and must learn to deal with sinister forces from Hollywood’s stages and the newly founded Church of Scientology.
Jake Tapper has covered historical political events such as the inauguration of President Barack Obama and the death of Osama bin Laden. His work has won him several awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Live Coverage of a Current News Story and the Edward R. Murrow Award.

How DARE YOU disagree!-----Climate Crisis? There is NO Climate Crisis! | Facebook
Climate Crisis? There is NO Climate Crisis! | Facebook"...ever wondered what happened to David Bellamy?
"I’m skeptical about man-made climate change. There’s absolutely no proof that carbon dioxide will kill us all. It’s not a poison, it’s the most important gas in the world. Carbon dioxide is an airborne fertilizer. How can farmers grow increasing amounts of food without a rise in CO2?”
"The 80-year old environmentalist and former broadcaster, admitted that his skepticism signaled the end of his career as he had known it.
“From that moment, I really wasn’t welcome at the BBC,” he said.
“They froze me out, because I don’t believe in global warming. My career dried up. I was thrown out of my own conservation groups and I got spat at in London.”
Mr Bellamy said things first began to change in 1996 when he spoke out against wind farms during one of his regular appearances on Blue Peter.
“That was the beginning really,” he told the Daily Mail. “From that moment, I was not welcome at the BBC.”
“I worked with the Wildlife Trusts for 52 years,” he said “And when they dropped me, they didn’t even tell me. They didn’t have the guts.
“I read about it in the newspapers. Can you believe it?
“Now they don’t want to be anywhere near me. But what are they doing? The WWF might have saved a few pandas, but what about the forests?
“What have Greenpeace done?”
Mr Bellamy’s wife Rosemary admitted that they had both been devastated by the developments.
“It did upset us terribly,” she said. “But we pretended not to be upset, didn’t we David? The best thing to do was not to talk about it. So we didn’t.
It’s been very difficult, because he does feel strongly about things.”
Mr Bellamy insisted that he had no regrets about being so outspoken and had not changed his opinions about global warming.
“I still say it’s poppycock,” he said. "For the last 16 years, temperatures have been going down and the carbon dioxide has been going up and the crops have got greener and grow quicker.
"We’ve done plenty to smash up the planet, but there’s been no global warming caused by man.
“If you believe it, fine. But I don’t and there’s thousands like me."
He added: "Who cares if they’ve put me on the back burner? I can still talk to my flowers, which are all fine and growing amazingly and say, “Thank you very much, David!”

MUST READ!-----Deprogramming of January 6 Defendants Is Underway
Deprogramming of January 6 Defendants Is Underway
That passage is part book report, part white privilege mea culpa submitted to a federal court this month by Anna Morgan-Lloyd, one of the more than 500 Americans arrested for her involvement in the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
- The entire investigation is an attempt to prosecute people based on their beliefs.
- Those who purge their views and admit their wrongthink will be given mercy.
- Those who don’t will pay dearly.
“My lawyer has given me names of books and movies to help me see what life is like for others in our country. I’ve learned that even though we live in a wonderful country things still need to improve. People of all colors should feel as safe as I do to walk down the street.”
The 49-year-old grandmother of five from southern Indiana was charged with four counts of trespassing and disorderly conduct even though she walked through an open door and was inside the building for about five minutes.
She was ratted out to the FBI by a county worker who saw her January 6 posts on Facebook.
On Wednesday, Lloyd, who has a clean criminal record, pleaded guilty to one count of “parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building”—but not before she consented to undergo a reeducation exercise at the urging of her court-appointed lawyer.
(Like many January 6 defendants, Lloyd does not have the means to hire a private attorney.)...READ ALL!!!!

They're coming for us!-----What is Behind Gen. Mark Milley's Righteous Race Sermon? Look to the New Domestic War on Terror. - Glenn Greenwald
What is Behind Gen. Mark Milley's Righteous Race Sermon? Look to the New Domestic War on Terror. - Glenn Greenwald
Note that Gen. Milley's justification for the military's sudden immersion in the study of modern race theories is the January 6 Capitol riot — which, in the lexicon of the U.S. security state and American liberalism, is called The Insurrection.
- The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture.
- Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic "white rage."
"Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified...“it is important that we train and we understand ... and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white."
...Overnight, Gen. Milley became a new hero for U.S. liberalism, a noble military leader which — like former FBI Director Robert Mueller before him — no patriotic, decent American would question let alone mock.
...But perhaps there is another explanation other than righteous, earnest transformation as to why the top U.S. General has suddenly expressed such keen interest in studying and exploring "white rage”.
When explaining why it is so vital to study "white rage,” Gen. Milley argued:
What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out..."
According to the Pentagon, the U.S. intelligence community, and President Joe Biden...the gravest menace to American national security is now domestic in nature.
Specifically, it is "domestic extremists” in general — and far-right white supremacist groups in particular — that now pose the greatest threat to the safety of the homeland and to the people who reside in it.
In other words, to justify the current domestic War on Terror that has already provoked billions more in military spending and intensified domestic surveillance, the Pentagon must ratify the narrative that those they are fighting in order to defend the homeland are white supremacist domestic terrorists.
That will not work if white supremacists are small in number or weak and isolated in their organizing capabilities.
To serve the war machine's agenda, they must pose a grave, pervasive and systemic threat...Read all!
Mom Speaks Out As White Son Terrorized at Public School | FreedomProject Media
Mom Speaks Out As White Son Terrorized at Public School | FreedomProject Media
...Among other concerns, the mother said her son “feels targeted, hated, and unsafe as a white male” at the school in question.
"With her son being bullied and targeted by teachers and students for being a white male as Critical Race Theory indoctrination takes the place of academics, a distraught mother in Ames, Iowa, has finally had enough.
“The environment, curriculum, and some teachers at [the school], have become increasingly hostile and dis-favorable toward white males,” she said.
...Perhaps even more alarmingly, the boy is now concerned for his physical safety as violence escalates. According to the mom, one of her son’s friends was “violently and cruelly assaulted” at school.
“The boy was framed as a racist white male through divisive teenage games,” the mom said.
...Yes, the situation is this bad — worse, in fact — not just in Iowa, but all over the nation.
Unfortunately, the solution is not as simple as just switching to another government school nearby.
They are all the same.
It is time for parents to save their children in the only way possible:
By leaving the government’s indoctrination system altogether like the building was on fire.

Rudy Giuliani’s suspended law license is a warning to Conservatives… the Left’s coming for you
Rudy Giuliani’s suspended law license is a warning to Conservatives… the Left’s coming for you
"Rudy Giuliani was President Donald Trump’s lead attorney in handling the aftermath of the 2020 Election...he is a true patriot who loves this country and did his job furthering the legal recourse his client, the President of the United States, hired him to follow through on.
- The fact that Rudy Giuliani had his law license suspended in the state of New York should be a warning to us all: If you believe the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen, the Left is coming for you.
The Left, however, do not care about reality or the rule of law.
Instead, they care about power.
...What we have to realize about this, as tragic as it is for Rudy, this is a warning shot to the rest of us.
If we continue to hold the line and fight for election integrity, we face similar pressure from the powers-that-be.
- It might come in the form of IRS audits, as happened under President Barack Obama.
- It might come through pressure from Big Corporations, as we are seeing with Wells Fargo closing Lauren Witzke’s bank accounts.
- Or it could be through losing your job or livelihood because you have an opinion that flies in the face of the mainstream narrative.
No matter what, we are facing a new America with these power-hungry leftists in power.
They are using whatever they can to discredit, intimidate and suppress us and our message...Read all.
EXCLUSIVE: West Texas Border Sector Set to Break All-Time Apprehension Record
EXCLUSIVE: West Texas Border Sector Set to Break All-Time Apprehension Record:
The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector has rarely been on the national radar for illegal immigrant apprehensions. Recently, an influx of Haitian, Venezuelan, and Central American migrants have pushed the sector to the third-highest rank for migrant apprehensions. With more than one quarter of the fiscal year remaining, the Del Rio Sector has now accounted for nearly 125,000 migrants put into custody.
The current number of apprehensions made by the Del Rio Sector is the highest in 20 years. The sector arrested more than 6,000 over the last seven days. If the pace continues, Del Rio will surpass any historical one-year record in its history.
"Losers or assholes"-----The persuasive power of simplicity

"When Trump famously proposed "Build the wall," it was one of the best examples of persuasion-by-simplicity you will ever see.
"When Trump famously proposed "Build the wall," it was one of the best examples of persuasion-by-simplicity you will ever see.
Being accurate matters for science and for budgeting. Accuracy often requires details and nuance and context and all that stuff.
But persuasion craves simplicity.
...We see this problem for the critics of Critical Race Theory.
They try to argue it is a Marxist worldview, and 95% of the country isn't quite sure that is true, and isn't quite sure why that matters, exactly.
Sounds bad, but perhaps not so bad for left-leaning people.
And that's who the right needs to persuade.
Calling CRT "anti-white" might be close to the truth, but that doesn't matter to persuasion.

Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate:
Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) and Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) effort to end the federal mask mandate requiring masks to be worn on public transportation, with Scott concluding Democrats only care about following “their political science.”
Last week, Scott introduced the Stop Mandating Additional Requirements for Travel (SMART) Act, which would bar the federal government from requiring Americans to wear masks on public transportation, but he could not garner unanimous consent to get the bill out of committee and onto the floor.

"They would like us to believe that what we can see happening right in front of our eyes is not actually real.
Over the past year, our politicians in Washington have gone on the largest spending binge in U.S. history by a very wide margin, and the Federal Reserve has created the most enormous financial bubble of all time by pumping trillions upon trillions of fresh dollars into the financial markets.
Of course this was going to cause very painful inflation, and prices are rising very aggressively all around us.
But Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and other leaders in Washington are trying to convince us that even though they added all of this money to the system it has hardly affected the overall rate of inflation at all.
They are “gaslighting” us, and it is absolutely infuriating...Read all!
