Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Susan Crabtree: During Trump's North Carolina Visit, a Secret Service Agent Abandoned Her Post to... Breastfeed Her Baby, Who She'd Taken to "Work"DEI, baby. Susan CrabtreeCrabtree also reports that Ted Cruz and Darryl Issa are suggesting that the Secret Service covered up the whole Hunter Biden Cocaine sitch. This is interesting: They found a "partial hit" on the DNA left in the bag. This means that while they did not find a direct hit, that is, they did not match the DNA to someone in the database, they found a, let us say, "family resemblance" of that DNA to someone in the database. Gee, who could it be? How about we just get a DNA swab from one to three people? Hunter Biden, Ashley Biden, and Joe Biden? Because you know that's what the "partial hit" was detecting. Someone in the Biden family is in the DNA database, either because they're a criminal, or because, as president, there have probably been a lot of times Joe Biden has been swabbed.

Setting aside the reality that it happened, imagine people in the workplace - women specifically, and they'll sue your butt if you don't agree - thinking this behavior is acceptable and moving the Overton window to where it's not something to even think about before they do it.

People have no idea how bad the NATSEC situation is, especially due to the open border and overall unvetted immigrant situation.
We have thousands of foreign intel assets on the ground providing HUMINT and carrying our surveillance on sensitive installations and key units. They have been caught numerous times either using cover provided by foreign owned companies or outright just crossing the border and undertaking various direct, on the ground operations. I won’t get into the details of what they are trying to accomplish, but everyone in one of the positions impacted has been forewarned. The alerts and notifications have risen to the highest level in some time. Keep your eyes open and situational awareness at its top level. If you see something that doesn’t look right, report it.

Tough reading Posted by: It's me donna at August 15, 2024 12:13 PM (IyPmt) ======= Children of Dune is my favorite book. The story is effectively over after that. God Emperor is more of a coda (and 400 page long political treatise). Heretics is an effort to restart things, and Herbert was simply not very invested.

Thanks to new footage presented by Julie Kelly [andy: above #87], overwhelmingly likely that the FBI surveillance footage is fake and the bombs were actually planted not the evening before but day of Jan 6 That explains why no one including secret service was able to "find" the bomb.

Which is why they’ve stonewalled and covered up the pipe bomb story. When the public realizes it was an inside job, the whole charade collapses Darren J. Beattie @DarrenJBeattie Aug 14 100% And the hoax can't just be contained to the pipe bombs either, as though that's not big enough I've always suspected that if backed into a corner they could try to contain the pipe bomb hoax by claiming that it was just an exercise or drill (indeed false flag ops often run concurrently with similar "drill") But even this excuse can't contain pipe bomb hoax because of the TIMING--- the pipe bombs were "discovered" in EXACT synchronicity to the Ray Epps orchestrated breach of the Capitol-- The Ray Epps Orchestrated breach is suspicious and dirty as hell in its own right, as we have famously reported. But the timing of the pipe bomb discovery is the critical dirty lego that links the two together And of course, if the pipe bombs weren't planted the evening before, this also means the FBI surveillance footage is fake Posted by: andycanuck (i0CiB) at August 15, 2024 12:17 PM (i0CiB) 118

Rowe is asking for more money (because that always fixes the problem, right)?.
Rowe seems to think the agents are the victims here: "One thing that want to talk to you about is this: Imagine if you had a family member, maybe your father, your mother or sibling or spouse, and they've dedicated their lives to being a core professional. They...become a special agent or uniformed division officer. "They've made contributions, but somehow, one day, they show up to work, and somehow their co-workers now viw them differently. They view them as inferior. They view them as not being significant contributors to what we're trying to do." "If that was somebody special to you, I'm pretty confident you would be upset by that." "I have been saddened by some of the comments that have been directed at our agency, some by people who actually carried the same commission...that I did, or that you do. But we cannot allow that toxicity to creep into our culture."

Ethnic equality did not ignore fundamental differences between people.
Even if you believe in IQ stratas, they're not *that* pronounced, and they just create a scale of ability and behavior. Sexual equality, while making some reliable gains has FAILED -->IF We HAVE to sensibly realize that ethnic differences can be ignored, but sexual differences are UNLIKE ethnic differences. To put a scope on it: • Races occur *within* species. So they're not even on the main taxonomic tree. • Sexes transcend the Kingdom level of the standard taxionomic tree. • "Sexual dimorphism" is especially pronounced in primates. So, regardless of whether there are animal species where male and female are pretty much physical similar, that AIN'T the primate substrate. • Sexual dimorphism also happens at a level above our species.

Posted by: It's me donna at August 15, 2024 12:06 PM (IyPmt) I enjoyed Dune II. Or about 90% of the movie. Great cinematography, Chalamet was more believable as Paul this time around, Rebecca Ferguson was great as a half-crazy manipulator, and the story didn't drag much. They did noticeably change the ending to set up a third movie, though. But yes, Zendaya was a terrible choice as Siani, and that ruined the other 10%. We're supposed to believe that she cares about Paul, but....there's no real evidence of her caring. She's too hung up on being a "strong Fremen woman," and not only does it make her look really whiny and irrational instead, it completely cuts against her character in the book. Maybe that's a fault of the writing, but it matches pretty well with what I've seen of her in other movies. Posted by: Dr. T at August 15, 2024 12:27 PM (ofC7S) 194

They need another four year phony scandal should Trump miraculously get in.
2016 it was RUSSIA. 2020 it was going to be Jan 6, which was going to go a little differently. The DC shock troops were still going to kill the protesters - Antifa who were already scheduled to be there to protest Trump, but who came anyway when Biden won. And that was going to be the scandal. Hitler Fuhrer Trump not allowing "peaceful protest" and now being responsible for murder(s). And it was going to be 3 years of investigations, hearings, protests and holdups into the illegitimate dictator president. So what is the NEXT four year scandal going to be?

https://bit.ly/3X8F9yw Posted by: Dave in Fla ======= Conflating campaign messaging and turnout doesn't work. Easy enough to do both. Candidate imagery is one of the things that one of my favorite grad school profs was an authority on. Read and discussed a lot of his research with the guy and Trump is better at it than no other politician in recent times. Even Billy Jeff. It is more that he universally repels the PTB because his rhetoric is based on truth and Dems on lies. That goes for GOPe types as well. That is why even in a positive article about Trump you get the inevitable but Trump sentence/paragraph tacked on. Master class in branding that ideologues of both the left and right largely hate. They want to talk about issues because that is how their minds work and their discourse reflects this. It is much harder for ideologues to understand how the other 80 percent or so of the population processes political information so they inevitably resort to stupid people or ill informed, etc. slanders. See that predisposition even here. To hear the message; you have to be willing to listen. Posted by: whig at August 15, 2024 12:34 PM (kW+z9) 225

What did Kamala and her secret service detail know and when did they know it? REMEMBER: Kamala Harris was in the DNC building when the so-called Jan 6 pipe bomb was discovered and removed. The bombshell video below shows that her own secret service detail clearly knew the bombs were fake in advance (how did they know this?) Despite the fact that dems have bent over backward to paint Jan 6 as a domestic terror event, and have lied to support this theory, Kamala has not milked her brush with the J6 pipe bomb for political points In fact, she has studiously covered up her presence in the DNC building.

The COST of ideology will end our civilization.
Ideology is not real. It exists in the realm of, to quote a recently popular phrase "would can be". And of course they are using what I call "Magic possibility". There is a base level of "possibility": What the universe *has* produced. Now the probably of Earth is a whisper, but the possibility of Earth is realized in Earth. So, that makes the possibility of life bearing planets reasonable. Ignorance also creates what we do not know to be impossible as "possible". But, a better word comes from Mathematics and Logic. Undecidable. It used to be that based on what we know, it was theorized about Brownian motion that all the molecules of air *might* rush to one corner of the room. It *might*. But what we describe as Brownian motion actually takes place not on the paper, but OUT THERE. So here, too. "Undecided" is a better word. Our predictions are based on a model. We are *ignorant* of any way it would be stopped. So, we're speaking from ignorance. (Which is okay.) Posted by: Axeman at August 15, 2024 12:35 PM (krQz2) 231

Trump has been branded himself, Fight Fight Fight whether he did it consciously or not at that moment. That repels the political class because it indicts their cowardly avoidance of essential truths in society. _____ Dems trying hard to brand Trump as a coward for not agreeing on the same debate terms originally set up assuming the debate was between Trump and Biden. I think most people remember that Trump was almost killed just a few weeks ago (some dem NPCs have accepted their new programming that it never happened). And that he is going out to outdoor rallies again even though the secret service showed themselves as keystone kops. A lot braver than most people would be.

You absolutely need those gooey clam bellies for an authentic fried clam. - We were recently discussing how you used to be able to find them in restaurants fairly easily, but then the world got better.

What does everyone think of that second Dune movie?
Posted by: Dr. Claw at August 15, 2024 12:05 PM (jbnUc) The DUNE movies are good but underwhelming for this reason. The story is set 20000 years (give or take 10000) in the future. It should look very foreign and alien. The David Lynch version did a great job of that in the 80s. And is the main reason I like it so well. The newer DUNEs' sets look like they could be picked up from Rooms To Go or shot in the nearest Pinkberry. I rate them good not great. Posted by: naturalfake at August 15, 2024 12:42 PM (eDfFs) 266

Harris is putting particular emphasis on rising meat prices, which she says account for a large part of rising grocery bills. --- Along with the Medicare part D prescription drug coverage beginning 2026.

404 If Kumswala becomes president before the election, it's even harder for her to disavow the policies of the Biden-Harris administration of the last three years. So I don't think that will happen. Who knows with this cum-dumpster fire, though?
I think the tapes are more to show that they were right in getting rid of Joey Shitbrains. I think the big coup has backfired, so they need to reassure nervous Democraps and donors that they had no choice.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at August 15, 2024 01:04 PM (dTTBf) --- I concede the 19th amendment. However, I believe that Thomas Sowell makes the point that pre-19th amendment is was closer to a family vote. The 19th amendment exists in the world. There is no control world to refer to. There was enough injustice totally unrelated to women suffrage before and after the 19th. Only male voters might have just screwed us in a different way. However, we're being screwed the way we are being screwed. Posted by: Axeman at August 15, 2024 01:12 PM (krQz2) 430

Second look at Amendment 19 . . .?
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 15, 2024 01:01 PM (J2vNu) Posters "look at" amendment 19 about every fourth thread here. Posted by: FenelonSpoke No obvious direct relationship with the 19th, but until sometime after it married women and children derived citizenship from the husband... women who married. US citizen derived US citizenship from it, women who married a foreigner lost citizenship. That last one conflicted with the 19th. So, corrections had to be made and a standard form to do this was made. That form was still published as recently as twenty years ago... The concept of duel-nationals was born with this unforseen impact of the 19th. If anything really needs fixing it is that, and clarify 'natural born' while they are at it... fairly certain it didn't mean duel loylaty since birth.
