Ghislaine ‘Ready’ To Testify As Trump Triples Down, Slams ‘Weakling PAST Supporters Who Believe Epstein Hoax’

Thanks, Brian Dunaway. 

Wow. Just, wow.

Has there ever been anyone more predictable? But (if “everyone” is correct) it took Israelophilia, rather Israelomania, for him to be sucked into the event horizon.

He’s even willing to relegate his favorite word, “hoax,” to the infamous status of “conspiracy theory.”

In his Manichean cosmology, you are either on his side in ALL things, or you are weak and stupid and evil (all the same thing in his mind). The argument is often made in his defense that he only attacks if first attacked. Not in this stunning spectacle — he attacks his own base, who always gives him the benefit of the doubt — even now, not attacking, rather stunned and alarmed and confused. (Can we call this the first stage of grief: denial?)

Perhaps he’s so defensive not because he is being attacked, but because his client, Israel, is being attacked.

But he should be glad. If he thought about it for one moment, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Israel — the only reason he pretends to care about Israel is because he cares about what a large segment of his voters care about. If at long last the truth about Israel is too much even for the American voter to take, just maybe he won’t have to spend so much time kissing their ass and supporting a self-fulfilling prophecy that might be called Armageddon.

Fire at Lake Cushman Human Caused

Tim McGraw wrote:

LOL!  The video below is from Seattle TV news about a fire at Lake Cushman in the Olympic Mountains west of Seattle. The idiotic announcer says that Mt. Olympus is seen from Seattle and shrouded in smoke from the fire. LOL! You can’t see Mt. Olympus from Seattle. The peaks shown in the video are called “The Brothers.”

Decades ago, I’d take the kids out to the Olympics to go hiking. The highway goes by Lake Cushman. It’s a beautiful lake, but the logging trucks were constant. I had to be on my toes to drive safely.

Also, this was back in the 1980s, the Seattle TV news then was all aflutter about sharks being found in Lake Cushman. They were dead and discovered on the shore. Scientists at the University of Washington posited that there was an underground channel from Lake Cushman to the sea. Turns out that a local fisherman caught some dogfish (small sharks) and dumped them in Lake Cushman as a joke.

Trump Has Completely Dropped His “Populist” Act

David Martin wrote:

I couldn’t have said it better myself, except that I would not state as a matter of fact that Epstein was “murdered in his jail cell.”  I believe the best evidence suggests that Epstein is still alive, and that there’s a very good chance that this guy seen outside a Starbucks in Vancouver, BC, Canada, last September is that man: https://dcdave.com/poet15/EpsteinVancouver2024.png

With his latest clownish remarks on the Epstein case, Trump really looks more and more like the man in “Donald Trump, The Song.

The Religion of Nature Rights

Writes Tim McGraw:

Humans are idiotic. “Mother” nature makes us sick, crippled, and finally, kills us! Any human who would give this murdering Earth “goddess” legal rights is a moron. The only reason humans live today as long as they do is because humans, over the centuries, have kept that Earth bitch in line. 

Do you think Mother Nature is going to give you a refrigerator to keep your food supplies cold? How about a sewage system? Gaia isn’t going to build that. She isn’t going to build a dam, pipes, a water purification system, and irrigation water to grow your food. 

Mother Nature wants us to die. To give this figment of human imagination legal rights is insane.

Response to the standard 4th of July message

Jim Fedako wrote:

Lew – 

A Christian brother sent out the standard July 4th message. My response:

More David Barton history.

How about this history, from other founding documents:

1. Whereas the several states are founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law …

2. In the name of God, source of all reason and justice, the several states …

3. Whereas the people of the several states profess their full belief in Jesus Christ, Our Lord …

Oh, wait, the first is the preamble to a section of the Canadian constitution, the second from the preamble to the Argentina constitution, and the third from Malta (substitute “the several states” with the respective country name).

Yet, you quoted the Declaration that was arguing for the separation of the colonies from England. It is not the document that founded the United States. That would be the Constitution — a document that does not mention God. And our government officially declared early on that the US is not a Christian nation.

Instead of invoking the names of God and Jesus Christ, the writers of our Declaration went with the then-woke, politically correct “Nature’s God.” Are you OK with that reference as a sign of faithfulness to the one and only God? Especially given the examples above, with other examples not listed.

Now, given the preambles listed above, what makes US the one true city on the hill?

I suggest you read more history than that which is taught in public schools or emanates from court historians. You might discover the writers and signers of the Declaration and Constitution were just political men. And, in the case of the Declaration, were making a political argument and not really establishing a Christian nation. Or even a proposition nation.

And that is OK. They do not need to be made saints … unless you need to justify neoconism as your religion.

“The Hump” WWII’s Deadly Air Cargo Route

Tim McGraw wrote:

This is crazy. To lose over one aircraft a day with crew for years is nuts. One thousand seven hundred crewmen died in this operation. Six hundred aircraft, or more, were lost in the mountains and jungles. Airplanes and pilots take a long time to replace on the other side of the world. It was also crazy to fly 24/7, no matter what the weather conditions. 

President Roosevelt (FDR) called Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek “Cash My Check”. Madame Chiang was the Dragon Lady. Seeing her in Congress begging for more war supplies reminds me of Netanyahu and Zelensky in Congress recently. Nothing really changes.

Wars are insane. As an aircraft mechanic, I know how much work it takes to build a plane, maintain it, and keep it airworthy. It amazes me that the planes fly as well as they do. To have people trying to shoot each other out of the sky is nuts.

Tim McGraw wrote:

The Epstein Files scandal could, and probably should, destroy Trump’s second term in office. The federal government in Washington, D.C., is even more corrupt than most Americans think. The lies from D.C. are becoming too absurd for even Trumpers to believe.

What happens when Americans believe that Washington, D.C., tells lies constantly and doesn’t give a damn about Americans? The Feds will have to rely strictly on force to force Americans to pay taxes and follow government edicts.

Epstein

Mike Rejsa wrote:

Hi Lew,

I’m seeing near-universal opinion that the Trump administration has joined the Deep State on the Epstein issue.

There is an alternative possibility… not sure I’m Pollyanna enough to believe it but what the heck.

Perhaps the impending release of Epstein data was a threat to powerful people <check>, who have now caved and given in on some other significant issue? (Most likely Israel-related) Leaving Trump et al to publicly do a somewhat amateurish job of back-pedaling.

It’s at least possible, tho Bongino’s behavior would seem to contradict. Time will tell.

Southern Baptists Get Sports Betting Wrong

Mark Seiler wrote:

Hi Lew,

These Baptists are barking up the wrong tree.

These private companies that advertise sports betting, as well as casinos, are not the real problem. The government lotteries are. 

Just look at the advertising.

Casino and sports book operators advertise the fun surrounding the thrill of placing a bet. They tout the fun you’ll have at the casino in their entertainment offerings such as watching some over-the-hill rock star or their great dining options. Sports books  show the fun you’ll have with friends while watching some sporting event with your friends, while consuming beer and chips, plus the camaraderie.

GovCo ads for their numbers rackets, aka Education Lotteries,, show the fabulous riches that will be yours if you buy that $5, $10 or $20 scratch-off ticket. Look at you! You’re wearing a gold sport coat and hobnobbing with other winners talking about your yachts. But, if you read the small print on the back of the ticket you’ll find out that for every $100 spent you will get $50 in return. It’s downright criminal. 

The biggest mistake these Baptists make is thinking that using government is the  way to make a moral society. If that’s the best route to root out sin, why do we need churches? And they wonder why the pews are empty.
