1) President Trump was given a full state welcome, according to Piers Morgan, not even accorded any other head of state in Mediocre Britain. If anyone can make MB great again, it's the Donald.


 


 

2) There was a ridiculously hostile 'hearing" in the Senate with Kash Patel, FBI Director. In one exchange, Sen. Dick Turban asked why the Epstein memo was unsigned. Patel responded, "Would you have preferred I used the autopen?" In the rest of Patel's testimony, he repeatedly tried to answer questions, such as...

1) It is just dawning on a few DemoKKKrat terrorist sporkporkers that they are about to reap the whirlwind. First come the calls to "turn down the temperature"---you know, the "temperature" of terror that they turned up. Nope. Time to kick that thermostat over to "Stomp." For example, here are some gems from the Party of Terror:

*Hakeem the Nightmare Jeffries: "We are going to fight this in the streets."

1) The suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk is in custody, a bilgepickle hater named Tyler Robinson of Utah. His own father turned him in. His bullets had fascist writings etched in them. As Techno Fog points out, 33 hours to catch him was remarkably quick, considering it took days to catch the murderous Luigi Mangoine. Related to this, liberal fascists thought they were free to dance on Charlie's grave. BlueSky and Reddit had hordes of these barbarians. The vomitous rag called The Nation said to remember who Charlie "really is" and called him "d...

1) Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Word as I recorded this is that he is dead. Suspect in custody. Getting to a boiling point where people are not gonna take it. MSNBC said it could have been a "supporter shooting off a gun." Yeah, sort of like Ryan "Baby" Routh or that decaying slimepocket Thomas Crooks. This one will send shockwaves, and I'm guessing they won't be pretty and they won't be "change at the ballot box."

1) I do have a tiny shred of sympathy for the DemoKKKrats over at "Liberal Patriot," who, having failed to get any interest in the "abundance economy" or "good management of cities," how are down to "When Trump Screws Up." This is not a strategy. They admit that redistricting isn't the DemoKKKrats' problem (though they fail to point out that the most likely outcome after MO has convened today to take up the issue will be an R gain of 7-8 NET seats after Kollyfornia, or a lock on 219 in the House.

Meanwhile, in DC., where there hasn't been a murder since Lincoln was shot, Mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser seems to like the Trump safety forces, and has ordered her cops to give full cooperation.

1) President Trump is threatening to remove crime from other major cities by sending in the National Guard. Naturally, DemoKKKrats oppose this. I say again, this is the party of death. Of course, "Let's Go Brandon" Williams, the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) doesn't want to ruin his peaceful and bucolic sanctuary that saw 35 people shot, five killed in the Labor Day weekend just through Sunday. New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) is probably on Trump's list. The police chief there says that without federal support, they couldn't do a thing about crime, implying that t...

1) This is yet another reason the DemoKKKrats are going extinct. A transoid shoots up a school. Forget that they refuse to address the fact that a) he (and he was a he) was mentally ill; b) that he left a written legacy of hate against Christians; but c) he also hated the transoid he had become and said so. Instead DemoKKKrats lash out against people who are praying for the families. This is a sick and totally demonic party. They might as well just take the 666 right now.

1) So DemoKKKrats won a special election in IA, which was a flip in the state house and removed the R supermajority there. Very low turnout. Yet doesn't sound like the DemoKKKrats are all that pleased. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is back to the libtoid mantra of DemoKKKrats aren't fighting hard enough. Remember this from earlier in the year? They are "bringing a pencil to a knife fight." So what? Chuck Norris can kill you with the eraser. Meanwhile, Patrick Ruffini says gerrymandering is forever; that one of the main reasons TX r...

Nevertheless, Kash Patel tweeted "No one is above the law." We'll see how far that goes, but very good first step. Meanwhile the Feds found that James (Scrotumtoter) Comey authorized leaks on Russia-related lies, but did not prosecute him. Gee, wonder why?

Schiffty's job was to leak classified info. This is according to a DemoKKKrat whistle blower. Now Ed Martin has him in his sights for "mortgage fraud," but there may well be far more forthcoming.

It was a . . . say it with me kids . . . a COUP. And it will be proven as such. There are steps every day. Over the weekend a special counsel was named to look into Count Dooku (Jack Smith) for improper and political prosecutions. This Rasmussen poll shows 68% want accountability (i.e., arrests).

1) The Russia Hoax docs continue to drop as Tulsi Gabbard tries the case in public. First she showed Zero was implicitly tied into this conspiracy. Now the newest document drop from Kash Patel shows that Cankles specifically gave approval to "Crossfire Hurricane." Speculation is that the next drop will tie it all up on a bow by implicating Rutabaga. Meanwhile, the Daily Beast came within a whisker of being the next giant contributor to the Trump Presidential Library when it retracted a story saying Melania met The Donald through Epstein.

Tulsi Gabbard clearly has more drops planned, is trying the case in public, and making it hard for the Deep State to come to any conclusion other than the fact that the Obama administration led a coup.

Gabbard followed through by releasing thousands of more documents and cannot understand how Mulehead and Bull Durham "missed it." Ah, Tulsi, I love ya, but come on. They didn't miss anything.
