Pretty much the second the news came down, Tucker Carlson had a guest on solely to say "yes I agree, it will be impossible for Trump to get a fair jury" and made some jab about how in New York people poo poo in the street.
They know he's probably hosed so before anything has even happened they're already trying to paint the jury as a bunch of biased commies so that if he gets convicted they'll already have primed everyone to believe it could never have been a fair trial. And if he's found not guilty, they can shout even louder about how oh look, even those loony lefties couldn't deny his innocence!

TRANSITIONING INTO VIOLENCE

Another school shooting has occurred and this time it was carried out by a ‘trans’ person.

Apparently this person had a lot of anger about how trans people have been treated including many using her ‘dead’ name. The anger may have combined with hormone treatments, which might have led to mental illness. After all, what sane person can execute children?

Lately there has been pushback against the trans nonsense. A woman simply can’t be a man or vice versa. They can pretend to be transitioning, but they never arrive. It’s never complete because it’s impossible. It can only end in sexual mutilation and all too often after that in suicide. Still, we have the trans movement drummed into our head daily—along with climate change, which is complete bunk. Worse, Marxist educators are grooming kids and persuading them that they are really the opposite sex. Sexual mutilation of children is therefore considered a ‘right’ to some of these crazy people. This is an abomination.

The pushback is apparently angering the trans ‘community’ and they are lashing out to keep their delusion going. For some reason they want all US citizens applauding and endorsing their delusion or we are called bigots and haters. They want demonic pedophiles in libraries and classrooms for ’trans story hour.’ It’s sick.

“Trans Rights Or Else” Looks like we found out what the “Or Else” means…

Christians in particular are targeted by the communist trans establishment and it all plays into Joe Biden’s fiendish hands. After joking about ice cream, the mendacious boob launched into his predictable monologue about seizing guns. Communists do not want the people to have them.

Joe could not wait even a single day before making the murders political.

He’s also wrong. Guns do not pull their own triggers. People do. People are evil, not guns.

Our government has become a power-mad swamp that continues to grow. The Swamp may consider guns to be evil, but that’s not entirely true. They simply want a monopoly on guns. They want more powerful and control while they want the rest of us to be broke, powerless serfs who are forced to live in pods and eat bugs.

Our sympathy goes out to the victims and families of such a wicked crime, but what occurred was not due to the of the lack of gun control. It was the lack of mental illness detection as well as a school that left doors wide open for the assailant. It’s time to keep all schools locked down. Hire a trained and competent security guard to monitor the grounds.

That’s what Biden should be pushing, but he won’t even secure our southern border.

THERE IS NO FREE PRESS WITHOUT A FREE JULIAN ASSANGE

Special Guest Post

In this epic political cartoon, Elon Musk takes on a daring mission to break into the stronghold of the deep state. Armed with his wit and determination, he sneaks into the dungeon where the freedom of speech Twitter bird is being held captive. With a quick strike, he sets the bird free, symbolizing the restoration of free speech.

As Elon continues his mission, he encounters Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who calls upon him to help free the Freedom of the Press bird, represented by Julian Assange. Together, they embark on a heart-pumping and adrenaline-fueled journey to save the publisher who only published leaks that exposed government crimes. With each step of this daring operation, the message is clear:

There can be no America without freedom of the press, and there can be no free press without a free Julian Assange.

This excellent political cartoon is a call to arms for all us who value the power of free speech and the importance of a free press in a democratic society. The cartoon highlights the importance of a free press and the need to free Julian Assange so that the people’s voices can truly be restored and they can all find their way back to the promise land that America stands for, symbolized by the Emerald City waiting for them just outside the deep state dungeon doors.

quote:

Guilty Until Proven Innocent- Trump Indictment”

The Marxist Democrat Deep State Swamp Party along with their RINO Republican Uniparty allies, are determined to keep Donald Trump from running again. They’ve already weaponized justice when the FBI blatantly turned partisan for the Democrats.

They trampled their own rules of justice to get at Trump. Hillary paid for a fake dossier to help prosecute Trump with her ‘Russia Russia Russia!’ bundle of lies that cost our country nearly 45 million dollars to refute as bunk. Hillary should be arrested for that alone, but the Democrat Swamp Party is immune to any prosecution. Hunter Biden is a prime example.

Still, for those resisting the Swamp, seemingly serious crimes can be drummed up out of nothing. As long as the Democrat-controlled courts participate and ignore all exculpatory evidence, it spells doom for their targets.

We all know there is no evidence supporting a case against Trump, but he’ll get arrested anyway. Like the impeachment campaigns against him, facts don’t matter. Only anti-Trump lies and rhetoric matter. The problem is Trump could very well get convicted in a New York court because most of them are heavily biased against Trump. He will certainly not receive equal justice in that state. Remember, the Democrat Marxists stole a presidential election outright. Do you think they will won’t sentence Trump to prison based on a legal mirage? It can certainly happen.

Meanwhile, all the ‘orange man bad’ anti-Trumpers are cheering and drinking mimosas. Their irrational hatred for the man drives them to disregard the travesty that has happened. That is, our judicial system has been politicized and weaponized similar to any third world banana republic.

We’ll now have kangaroo courts and show trials similar to the Stalin era. Heck, we already have them considering how the January 6th protestors were cast into Pelosi’s dungeon-like gulags without any due process. There was never any push back or consequence for that when it was proved that the Marxist Democrat’s subsidiary, the FBI, helped smash windows and open doors at the Capitol to trap the protestors. They got away with it, of course, so naturally they are emboldened and will continue to employ a corrupted justice system to get Trump.

Over and over the leftist politicians and their propaganda media bark at us and say, “Nobody is above the law.” We already know this is untrue. Those allied with the Swamp get a free pass.

Hunter committed felonies, but he runs free. The entire Biden family is compromised, but there’s no investigation. Top officials in the FBI can lie to Congress and nothing happens. Hillary can engage in pay-for-play and destroy evidence and nothing happens. Fauci can enrich himself by killing millions of human beings and nothing happens. Trillions of dollars can go missing at the Pentagon and nothing happens. Something does happen to real journalists who blow their whistles on such corruption, though. They get harassed, murdered, or locked up.

Julian Assange is the prime example.

Trump will be arrested and get his mug shot. He will be tried in a kangaroo court and convicted. Higher courts that are controlled by the globalist powers will not overturn the decision. Will Trump be sent to jail? Don’t be surprised. Will that spark a great pushback or even a civil war from his supporters? Probably not. Our country has already been conquered and all we do is complain.

It’s time to stop complaining and take action. This is a threat to the American people. We are fed up. We, the people, have to save our country.

quote:

THE CROWBAR AND THE CLAMSHELL

Big Government Security Agencies Are More Tight Lipped Than A Clamshell

I often receive the complaint that my cartoons are too negative and pessimistic. I’m asked to draw things that are ‘more positive.’ I find this to be a difficult task considering we now live in an era of relentless attacks by globalists, ‘woke’ Marxists, and the Deep State Swamp Uniparty government.

Big government includes ‘security’ agencies that serve the Deep State Swamp as well as globalists such as Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. The security agencies’ main job is to make their masters more secure while they make the American public less secure. Agencies such as the NSA can illegally track your phone calls and email. They are able to know everything about you. The FBI can falsify documents, use ‘plants’ at events such as the January 6 protest at the Capitol, where protestors are tracked, traced, and jailed. The CIA can operate using all kinds of dirty tricks that violate our Bill of Rights. The 4th Amendment is all but dead.

The 1st Amendment is going away. Notice how a Trump supporter was convicted for using an anti-Hillary meme. It was a direct assault on our free speech. He was convicted and may face 10 years in the slammer. Those Jan. 6 protestors also using their 1st Amendment were railroaded into gulags without due process. More will follow.

Big government forces are able to put citizens under their microscopes, but can we find out what they are up to? Well, yes. Sometimes. That’s the good news. The Freedom of Information Act has been amended since it was enacted in 1967, but it still allows us to legally force government into revealing information they’d prefer to keep hidden. As far as the security agencies, critical information can often be withheld by using the exemptions to the FOIA. The most notorious of these is their cry, “National security!” It’s just one of the reasons these agencies should be broken up like so many clam shells.

When those agencies are forced to reveal something, the documents are predictably heavily redacted. Pages with a few words and a spate of black bars covering up key info. As big government grows endlessly bigger, look for this problem to worsen. Then the solution will depend more heavily on whistleblowers and we know what happens to them. They are harassed, locked up, or even murdered. Edward Snowden is a heroic and patriotic whistleblower, but he was forced to leave the country under threat of death. His crime? He revealed how the security agencies were illegally spying on us all. He should be pardoned immediately and receive a medal for what he did.

Likewise, Julian Assange should also be freed.

He’s a real journalist who did something very similar to what the NY Times and Washington Post did during their release of the “Pentagon Papers.” They received Pulitzer Prizes for revealing the government’s dirty secrets. Assange should also get the Prize. Instead, he’s received a permanent prison sentence because he embarrassed the Swamp in a presidential election year.

I guess this post isn’t as optimistic as I intended. I apologize—I’m a natural pessimist. Our rights are being trampled upon with greater ferocity and at the end it looks like we’ll have only one left—The 2nd Amendment. We may as well use it before being sent off to government concentration camps that are probably on the way for those accused of disseminating facts.

Our banana republic tyrants will label truth as ‘misinformation.’

quote:

LET THE BANANA REPUBLIC MOCKERY OF JUSTICE BEGIN!

President Trump is expected to be arraigned in court today. The 34-count felony indictment will be revealed. Trump will plead not guilty. Will he, like Roger Stone, receive a gag order? Will there be a trial and will it be televised? One thing for sure, the Marxist Democrats out to get Trump would like to see a grand spectacle where exculpatory evidence is suppressed while the Soros prosecutor—Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg—exaggerates manufactured evidence that he has stitched together like a Frankenstein monster.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg claims he has a solid case against Trump. In reality, his case is made up of banana republic political prosecution. This mockery of justice has not gone unnoticed by the American people. Current polls show that President Trump has his biggest lead in the Presidential race in the GOP.

The corporate propaganda media will be sure to say the word ‘historic’ countless more times. They use that word in the hopes that it will somehow add legitimacy to the prosecution’s case. In reality, Bragg has no case. There never was a case. Still, Bragg ran for his position on the promise of ‘getting Trump.’ That alone should have barred him from office. Prosecutors are supposed to gather evidence of crimes and present cases to court based on the evidence only. They are not supposed to invent evidence. Bragg is the one who should be prosecuted.

Expect the show trial to increase Trump’s popularity, but the danger is they will railroad him by means of a guilty verdict no matter what. Trump’s attorney’s should request a change of venue. New York City is completely corrupt.

Cankles.

There is a theory I've mostly encountered from people like Mercola that microwaves introduce toxins somehow. Beyond this, there's a broad perception (mostly repeated by kettle manufacturers) that a microwave will heat water unevenly, something that might be a concern if you were boiling a large amount of it.

Microwaves boil it fine, the main problem is you just can't do nearly as much in one go as with a kettle. The specific sin associated with boiling in microwaves is leaving the tea bag in while you do it, the mark of a deranged mind.

The real risk of microwaving water is that it can superheat if it's in a perfectly smooth container and you heat it for too long. It's a pretty slim risk, but it's also insanely dangerous if it happens. Put a wooden stirring stick or something in the glass if you're boiling just water.
