THE BIG PICTURE

Homo Umbrans – “The corruption of language and the annihilation of the soul. All over social media, print media, and network television, leftists are wringing their hands about the death of free speech in America occasioned by the chilling effect that comes when people’s lives can be destroyed for their opinions. I guess they should have thought of this before they went all in on destroying peoples’ lives for their opinions.” – John Carter  – ANOTHER MEGA READ FROM JOHN BUT WORTH IT!!!!!

Borderline Lunacy? – “Trump is doing his best to disassociate from a profoundly troubled world, wars now his that he calls someone else’s, and a US economy he’s put on a path to ruin. After 2/3rds of a year in office, Trump is spewing the same rhetoric, he now understands the Ukraine War, as he said he did in 2023, the first time he told us he understood it. In point of fact, he understood nothing then and he understands nothing now. Paralyzed in his ideology he’s wiping his hands of Ukraine, Russia, and Europe/NATO, assuming he’s the guy at the fort, getting rich selling repeating rifles to Apaches. Instead, he is NATO, and understanding the war in Ukraine, he’s siding with Ukraine taking back all the territory they’ve lost and maybe parts of Russia with it.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Grand Jury Indicts James Comey – “Contrary to internal consensus by Deep Staters that the investigation was fruitless, the Trump Department of Justice scored a big win today against one of the president’s biggest tormentors.” – Julie Kelly

Days of Judgment – “You better believe Martha Stewart baked a cake last night — the lovely Gâteau Opéra perhaps? — when she got the news that the ham sandwich known as James Comey got indicted by a federal grand jury twenty-two years after that same ham sandwich indicted the goddess of hearth and home for lying to the FBI and the SEC over a trumped-up insider-trading rap, and sent her to federal prison for a five-month stretch plus five additional months of confined home-making and two years of supervised redecorating. Jim Comey was the engine who pulled the choo-choo train of seditious fakery known as RussiaGate. which then expanded into the years-long ass-covering operations of the Mueller Investigation, then Impeachments One and Two, then the J-6 FBI-engineered “insurrection,” then Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional J-6 committee gong show, and then the four various fugazi prosecutions against Mr. Trump in 2024 designed to derail his re-run for office, bankrupt his family, and stuff him in prison for the rest of his life.” – James Howard Kunstler

Good for geese, good for ganders – “Breaking the frame of “why are they doing this to me? Let’s take a little stroll down memory lane, shall we? Because those who control the past control the present, and there really should be no mistake about that through which we all just lived.” – El Gato Malo

When does the political Left say TAKE AWAY THE GUNS? – “Some of the lawmakers are saying it now, of course, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. But what about after any weekend in Chicago? Those murders don’t count? Let’s try to figure this out. If you say GANGS ARE STONE COLD KILLERS AND THAT’S THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE STORY, you’re a racist.” – Jon Rappoport

Is the Autopen Portrait ‘Beneath’ the White House? – “The White House unveiled its new Presidential Hall of Fame on Wednesday, and one Presidential portrait in particular was a bit…unique. As you can see, our esteemed 45th and 47th President is pictured on the left and the right. In the middle is, ostensibly, President Joe Biden. More accurately, it is the Presidential autopen, which Trump maintains was the true President during the Biden regime. It is a savage dig, and one that a lot of people feel is beneath the office of the President. But…is it? There is no bottom. The Democratic Party and their left-wing allies have proven, the last eight months in particular, that there is no low they won’t sink to. They are completely sold out to the cult of progressivism, and they know they are losing. They are panicking and that makes them dangerous. If there is no bottom, there is no level for the White House to be “beneath” even when it comes to something as traditional as a wall of Presidential photos.” – Kira Davis

FBI had 274 plainclothes agents embedded in Jan. 6 crowds, congressional source says – “Disclosure by the FBI to Congress answers a long-simmering question but does not reveal what the agents did that day.. A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events. But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters. The news comes in the wake of claims by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that the FBI had no undercover personnel in the Jan. 6 crowds.” – Joseph M. Hanneman and Steve Baker

He responded to OSF’s statement on X, saying, “That’s the best you could say about my nearly 100 pages of evidence that triggered the Trump Administration’s investigation? Your rebuttal is just, “Nah, we don’t do that?”” -Tyler Durden

THE EU HAS COLLAPSED AS IT’S SUICIDAL LEADERS SCREAM FOR ATTENTION AND DESTRUCTION (VIDEO) – Garland Nixon

UNREAL: Former CIA Director Publicly Slobbers All Over Al-Qaeda Terrorist Now Running Syria – “Al-Sharaa has worn many hats over the years — al-Qaeda insurgent post-Iraq invasion, protégé to infamous terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Nusra founder, to name a few — but none more ill-fitting than his newest role of “statesman,” a guise which the United States government is apparently desperate to help him pull off. Here’s what Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa looked like when he had his jihadi costume on up until just a few months ago. And this is what he looks like now after his makeover, having his taint licked passionately by Deep State puppet David Petraeus: Some of the sicker bits of sycophancy from Petraeus: Announces “it is obviously my privilege to interview His Excellency, Ahmed al-Sharaa” · Opens the interview with the Muslim greeting “As-salamu alaykum”” – Ben Bartee

Now that Al Qaeda controls Syria, the U.N. General Assembly finally recognizes Syria’s Government. – Eric Zuesse

Crisis Escalation Becomes Euro-Cabal’s Final Meal Ticket – “It has become clear that the EU-NATO establishment has chosen the path of acute escalation as their current strategy against Russia. The question is why? There are several reasons, the most overriding being that the political structures of Europe are crumbling before our very eyes and endless war-mania is the only way for the cabal to sweep their various polycrises under the rug, stupify their masses, and retain power.” – Simplicius

Debt has Castrated the Fed – “Nothing Stops this Train. Exploding government debt is taking over, forcing countries to lower interest rates and hike taxes not for the economy, but for the debt. For months now Donald Trump has been hammering Jerome Powell to cut rates because of exploding interest payments on our $36 trillion national debt.” – Peter St Onge  – MAYBE THEY SHOULD WORK ON REIGNING IN SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Powell’s Rate Cut Explainer Sends Gold Near $3,800 – Peter Schiff

A horror story in paper markets – “Our headline chart shows silver storming ahead amid reports of backwardations and soaring lease rates. Will it continue, and will gold be next? Driven by poor liquidity, in Europe this morning silver was $45.03, up $2.00 from last Friday’s close. Gold was up a less spectacular $68 at $3750 on the week, but with a firm undertone. In this report, we look at what is currently driving gold and silver prices higher, and whether it will continue.” – Alasdair Macleod  – SILVER IS NOW WELL ON IT’S WAY TO $47!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can Social Security Be Saved for Future Generations? – “Are we wise enough to refuse politicians’ offer of “free money” to spend today that was stolen from our future, and from our future generations? Probably not. Can Social Security be saved for future generations? Many have already concluded it’s hopeless, and if the current trajectory is left untouched, that is pretty much baked in. Only a radical reform of the program’s basic purpose, design and funding mechanisms could return the program to anything resembling sustainability and fairness.” – Charles Hugh Smith

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How to Turn Trash Into Tools in a Grid-Down World – “When the lights go out for good, the first thing you’ll notice isn’t silence but rather the absence of convenience. The shelves get stripped, the hardware stores empty, and your once-taken-for-granted stash of “extras” starts thinning out. That’s when you realize that necessity is the mother of invention, and what you used to call trash may just become your lifeline. A bent can or a broken bottle, the things we used to kick down the road suddenly turn into raw survival material. If you’ve got the mindset and a steady hand, you can shape them into tools, weapons, and even food-sourcing materials.” – Bob Rodgers

How to Build an A-Frame House – “Whether you’re looking to build a rustic retreat or the off-grid home you’ve long dreamed about, the A-frame cabin offers a simple, incredibly sturdy and comparatively low-cost option.” – Fox Chapel Publishing

9 Homesteading Shortcuts to Make the Simple Life Even Easier – ” Maybe you work full-time, live in a smaller area with less land, or you just live with a packed schedule. Well, I fully understand how that feels. My husband works a full-time job, we have multiple children, and when we began homesteading we had only 2 acres and ended up only using about a half acre. But what I’d like people to see is that there are ways to be a little more self-sufficient without biting off a chunk of a huge homestead. There are ‘shortcuts’ if you will.” – Jennifer Poindexter

Does Antibiotic Ointment Expire? – “You probably have a dusty tube of Neosporin, Polysporin, or some generic triple-antibiotic cream shoved in your bathroom cabinet right now. Maybe it’s from last summer’s camping trip. Maybe it’s been riding around in your bug out bag for years. And here’s the kicker—you’re trusting that ointment to protect you from infection when it matters most.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20    Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.  Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.  For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
