Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | JusttheNews: FBI Now Investigating the Deep State and Democrat Party's Weaponization of Government and Attempted Coup Against TrumpThey don't call it a "coup." I'm saying that. It obviously was an attempted coup by bureaucrats against the duly elected president. John Solomon says MAGA will be pleased by this.
This might have been leaked by Patel or Bongino (or people close to them) to let MAGA know they're still doing the jobs they were appointed to do, and reduce any anger about the Epstein matter. Everyone's reporting they're both very angry about Bondi hanging them out to dry over that. But that wouldn't make the leak false, it would just explain why they sought fit to give the leak to a reporter. I could see people sniffing "promises, promises," though.

On the one hand I appreciate the *why* behind Trump hiring a bunch of former media people to head his departments, he needs to get a better handle on keeping these people in their lanes doing their jobs and not putting on pancake makeup to run their cock-holsters on TV every freaking day.

Where is Pomerania? Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. Pomerania is a historical region on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea in Central Europe, split between Poland and Germany. The central and eastern part belongs to the West Pomeranian, Pomeranian and Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeships of Poland, while the western part belongs to the German states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg. Pomerania's historical border in the west is the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian border Urstromtal, which now constitutes the border between the Mecklenburgian and Pomeranian part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, while it is bounded by the Vistula River in the east.

I guess that's somewhat of an improvement, but I would really prefer we stop being involved in not only the Ukrainian war, but every other fucking war around the planet.

I could see people sniffing "promises, promises," though.
No Party Member gets indicted in Babylon DC. Now if the DOJ made a simple statement that they are doxxing the perps and will likely not respond to any emergency calls to those locations, nor consider ever investigating any event on their property, then it can be a lot of fun. But that doesn't even happen in dreams. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the DOJ/FBI, experts in covering up and destroying evidence, would simply hand over evidence and assist in any way possible for private journalists to dig and do their thing. The same way Musk handed over X files to Taibbi, Weiss, Fang, Shellenberg, Zweig and Berenson and let them do their thing. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at July 14, 2025 06:50 PM (kHd4y) 92

78 Is the US sending the weapons to the EU who will then send them to Ukraine?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at July 14, 2025 06:48 PM (63Dwl) The story is we are selling weapons to our NATO allies, who are then giving them to the Ukrainians. So basically, Europe is paying our military industrial complex to build the weapons to give to Ukraine. Which, as I've said, is an improvement over *me* paying for it, but it doesn't really address the underlying concern of us creating and getting involved in all kinds of wars all over the world.

Regardless of who is buying the weapons and where they wind up, I still find much satisfaction in the fact the EU is actually paying for the weapons rather than the US just giving billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine. Especially with the way that arrogant little jackass Zelensky spoke to President Trump and Vice President Vance.

Posted by: Sherlock Soothsayer at July 14, 2025 06:51 PM (yWcpA) Yes, Sooth, that's what I've been arguing. The reason this Epstein thing is such a big deal is it's showing that Trump was told to "back down" and he did. Just like he admits to having done over the JFK files last time he was in office. He said Brennan (or whoever) told him not to release them, despite the law saying they had to be released, and Trump trusted him and said okay and didn't release them. Neither did Biden. Then Trump 2.0 released most of them after lamenting that he listened to the CIA last time. And he said he wouldn't fall for that again. But here we are.

Corporations raised prices because of Covid and realized they just don't ever have to bring them back down. People paid more. They thought,
Hmmm...what if we raise them again? Just blame it on whatever 'pandemic' or global issue is going on at the time. Like eggs.

Be well, ScoggDog, if indeed that was your name.
Posted by: EFG ======= Just a reminder, making threats (even trying to be clever about it) results in the banhammer. Scogg has been banned multiple times for violations of the really loose code which is why he keeps changing nics and uses a vpn to do that--basically don't threaten others, don't get involved in personal insult wars, and don't piss off Ace or the cobs. There are some others that have been banned that you see from time to time come back to mess with people or to disrupt conversations--Blago, moo moo, BSG, Widespread Pepe, etc. For whatever reason, AoS seems to attract previously banned individuals coming back over and over again to do shit and then leave a mess for teh cobs to clean up. Part of that is Ace doesn't require registration as some other sites do (would end sock puppetry for example). Another way would require IP probing and fingerprinting systems which ends a lot of repeat troll business. The third is require payment which is how a number of places are going--comments only for those that pay. Trolling and getting banned for it becomes less appealing if you keep losing bucks over it.

Putin, declining Trump, a great negotiator, and pressing forward harder than before along with reunification statements from Putin and NATO cause me to think Putin sees the perimeter as either Russia or NATO. Adding Finland to NATO pushed it over the line. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 14, 2025 07:03 PM (Kq8pV) --- --- Apparently Putin informed Trump recently that there will be a new Russia offensive within the next 60 days. This will be a push (perhaps final?) to occupy the entire areas of the oblasts in Eastern Ukraine that he's after. Then Putin can claim the objectives of the 'Special Military Operation' have been reached and he can arrange a ceasefire. Trump announcing today that they'll be sending more Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine is a reaction to that news, I believe. This war may still end this year. It seems it all depends on what happens when the winter comes and this new offensive has ended. Posted by: SpeakingOf at July 14, 2025 07:12 PM (6ydKt) 170

If Trump was really serious about: • Instantly ending the Ukraine/Russia lover's quarrel • Crippling the Deep State, Five Eyes, other evil • Saving hundreds of billions of dollars • Keep the US out of endless wars • Preserve our Peace Through Strength stance • Have his face on Mt Rushmore He would pull the US out of NATO.

The top 10% earns 50% of the income and pays 75% of the taxes. That means a flat percentage across the board cut in federal tax rates would disproportionately benefit the top 10%.

>>Right, but didn't we establish that a special counsel must be confirmed by the Senate or the case is invalid? The same people who opposed Martin as DC US-Attorney would have to flip to support him as a special counsel to dig into something they favored, which was the destruction of Trump.
Yes, it was established. And that's why I said I think the situation of a special counsel to investigate a specific issue might have a different outcome with than a more broadly powerful US Attorney. Particularly if evidence to back up the conspiracy charge is presented. If you read Solomon's articles there were at least two perhaps crucial issues that were hidden from us and much of Congress. One was the classified annex in Durham's report and the other is the classifed annex to the Hillary email report. Trump needs to declassify both. But we'll see.

225 White leghorns are bred to lay over meat so you end up getting well over 300 plus eggs per year from a prime pullet until the first molt. Most chickens laying brown eggs don't come near that production.
Posted by: whig at July 14, 2025 07:25 PM (ctrM5) So just stain the white eggs in stale coffee. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 14, 2025 07:29 PM That is a pretty good plan. You could probably buy eggs at Walmart, stain them in coffee, and re-sell them to Whole Foods and make a tidy profit above your labor costs. If you are a friend and contributor to Gavin Newsome, you could use illegal immigrant child-slave labor and REALLY make a profit! Posted by: Pillage Idiot at July 14, 2025 07:35 PM (HlyYF) 245
Also, the brown (pasture-raised) eggs are superior in taste and yield. I find that I can get my serving from one brown egg (Vital Farms) versus two white ones, and that offsets the higher cost.

I immediately imagined what my old Sgt. Major would have to say to a reponsible troop. Flaying would be kinder.

228 Not condoning the invasion by russia but I can see why putin did it.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at July 14, 2025 07:06 PM (e5NfL) --------------- Because he could and was told by Biden that he could. Putin's problem now is that he didn't know when to stop. There was a point early on when he had the territory he supposedly wanted that he could have kept with little negotiating, I suspect that's what he promised Biden's people but being a megalomaniac it got away from him and here we are. Posted by: Decaf at July 14, 2025 07:29 PM What despotic dictator doesn't like a quick and easy military victory that adds both land and treasure? Instead, Putin got a long, costly, and deadly slog. He still has the tools to "win", but I am kind of reminded of the dog that loved to chase cars, but then had no idea what to do when he finally caught one.

at 240, I think I'm confusing a special prosecutor with special counsel. To bring charges you need to be confirmed (Jack Smith wasn't); to just write a report (a counsel) you don't. Gaetz or Martin could be special counsels to investigate without needing to be confirmed (I think). Then it's up to the AG to decide whether to prosecute. But Bondi may lose their report on her desk.

We need a special council with subpoena power. I'd like to recommend Trey Gowdy for the role.

I had small part of a fence replaced. Maybe 25 feet long, 6 ft high. 2 guys, day and a half of work. $4k including materials which was basically some wood. Didn’t include painting or staining.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at July 14, 2025 07:15 PM (ImXfC) Dude, if I had only known I would have loaned you a post hole digger, a shovel and a wheelbarrow to mix your bags of quickcrete in. A true man could finish that in two afternoons including the stain. Posted by: Kindltot at July 14, 2025 07:46 PM (D7oie) 255
Never mind the eggs. Did Hillary actually do anything criminal in ordering up that fake dossier and sharing it with Obama? I thought her crime was pretty much records destruction (and then lying about it). Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 14, 2025 07:49 PM (xp7+v) 256

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 14, 2025 07:29 PM (vegAM) There is a recipe for cracking the shells of hard boiled eggs and leaving them to steep in a combination of tea, ginger, anise, salt and a few other spices until the whites are stained. We always called them "tea eggs" though I am sure they have a clever name as well. Posted by: Kindltot at July 14, 2025 07:55 PM (D7oie) 257
