It gets worse for Joe. Another sign that Obama and the Democrat Party are ready to throw ole Joe Biden under the bus. 

On Monday, 1-9-23 it was revealed top secret intelligence documents related to Ukraine, UK and Iran were found in Joe Biden’s private office shortly before the 2022 midterm elections. Lo and behold, the mainstream legacy media are NOW actually covering it. 
Of course Biden used his old ‘playing dumb’ tactic. He said he was ‘surprised’ that there were classified documents in the boxes. “I don’t know what’s in the documents,” Biden said. Yeah, right. This is a guy who lies as an involuntary reflex. On the other hand, Biden really is stupid and the ruling elite could have planted the boxes to get Joe removed from office. More here:

Comics, 1-10-23: Zelensky, Nazis & Churchill

1-10-23, Garrison -- We’ve all heard the comparison of Ukraine’s leader, Zelensky, to England's Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Even establishment cartoonists have penned work showing how Zelensky is following in the footsteps of Churchill.
More here:
grrrgraphics.com/zelensky-you-are-no-churchill/
Zelensky is closer to being Hitler than Churchill. Zelensky is willing to hold a scorched earth policy and fight to the last Ukrainian and even the last American. He favors nuclear war if that’s what it takes. Apparently many on the war mongering, virtue- signaling left favor nuclear war as well. Pure insanity.
The truth about Russia & the war vs Germany [WW2] is now commonly ignored.  ... Putin was part of the Soviet Union that fought Nazi Germany & where 10 million Russian soldiers died. Ukraine isn’t a democracy — especially not now. NATO & the CIA made sure of that when in 2014  they removed Ukraine’s lawfully-elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. [Here]

How the CDC Abandoned Science [here]
2-14-22, TABLET -- In order to bolster the claim that people who've recovered from COVID benefit from vaccination as much as those who never had it, the CDC published a fatally flawed Kentucky-based analysis... Ultimately, science is not a political sport; it's a method to ascertain truth.  However, the more it becomes subordinate to politics —the more it becomes a slogan rather than a method of discovery and understanding and the more impoverished we all become. 
Why UK's  'freedom day' is the latest example of COVID propagandA [HERE]
7-18-21,  CONVERSATION -- The best, or most effective, propaganda is that which creates emotional bonds ... Covid Restrictions being lifted is being called 'freedom day!' attempting  to nullify the public by encouraging us not to scrutinise government and media performance as we should. It reflects an attempt to move the discussion from science, sociology and public health to patriotism and emancipation.

Cobalt Mines in Congo for Electric Car Batteries - child labor young as age FOUR!

Picture
8-6-2017, Daily Mail -- Child miners aged  four  living a hell on Earth so YOU can drive an electric car: Awful human cost in squalid Congo cobalt mine that Michael Gove didn’t consider in his ‘clean’ energy crusade [here]
  • Sky News investigated the Katanga mines and found Dorsen, 8, and Monica, 4
  • The pair were working in the vast mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo
  • They are two of the 40,000 children working daily in the mines, checking rocks for cobalt
​Electric car maker Tesla  plans to produce 500,000 cars per year starting in 2018 needing 7,800 tons of cobalt to achieve this. Sales are expected to hit 4.4 million by 2021. It means the price of cobalt will soar as the world gears itself up for the electric car revolution and there's evidence some corporations are cancelling their contracts with regulated mines using industrial technology. They're turning to the cheaper mines using human [child] labor. There's no happy ending for the tens of thousands of children left in the hell on earth that is the cobalt mines of the Congo.

12-29-22, ALJAZEERA, Israel News from Islamic Viewpoint -- The return of Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel's Prime Minister marks a the arrival of a government that has sparked fears among Palestinians [Muslims-Ed].  Netanyahu, along with his right wing coalition partners, has a majority in the Knesset. He was heckled during his speech to the Knesset, with opponents chanting that he was “weak”. He said an end to the “Arab-Israeli conflict” would be his top priority, as well as stopping Iran’s nuclear program and building up Israel’s military capacity.
Israel News - from Israel Viewpoint
1-3-23, HAARETZ Israel News -- In Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank] the army was in the village of Kafr Dan near Jenin to demolish the homes of two Palestinians who in September 2022 killed Maj. Bar Falah of the Nahal infantry brigade. The actions in Syria’s skies and in the West Bank signaled a direct continuation of the security policy of the Bennett-Lapid-Gantz government, and indeed by all the previous Netanyahu governments. There are certain differences, little more than nuances, in the approach of the outgoing and incoming governments regarding the violence with the Palestinians. More here

As of 1/5/23 Kevin McCarthy has come in second in the race to be Speaker ELEVEN times - yet he's already moved into the office of the Speaker ... Isn't that trespassing? 

1-5-23, Annette -- I don't trust what California Kevin McCarthy now says. And apparently neither do the twenty congressmen who are voting to block him from becoming Speaker of the USA House of Representatives. He's been a politician for a long time. These 20 patriots know more than we know and ole Kevin from California has been ensconced in the 'people's house' since 2007; and been in California government since 2002. He tried and failed to be speaker in 2015.
He supports gay marriage, is weak on immigration and wanted President Trump to resign. I don't want Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat 'Baptist' from New York to run the 'House.' However, at this point I don't see much difference in the RINO Republican and the Leftist Democrats.
​
I, for one, am happy that the government is doing no work and we have no representatives. What good are they?

Tucker: Biden administration is close to giving WHO power over every intimate aspect of your life

5-19-22, Fox News, TuckerCarlson -- In 2021 when ole Joe Biden, in one of his very first acts as president, brought the USA back into the World Health Organization [WHO] [in 2020 President Trump Removed America (here)] We assumed it was just part of his larger 'de-orangification' efforts [reversing all President Trump's acts]. Childish, but that seemed like a fair explanation. Still, seemed weird because there aren't many international bodies that are more thoroughly discredited than the WHO, particularly after COVID. It's a laughingstock. [..] WHO will ensure "equitable and effective access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and essential supplies and for clinical trials" and that means, again quoting, "health care workers and the most vulnerable will have priority access." Not the sickest, not the people who need the medicine most, but the most vulnerable in a larger sense. In other words, favored groups get medicine first. [..] 
The Biden administration's amendments, along with those from several other countries, will be combined to create a new global pandemic treaty. "We need a pandemic treaty." That treaty is set to be adopted in Geneva at the World Health Assembly. [..] Here's the catch. The WHO gets to define what a pandemic is, when a pandemic is in progress and how long a pandemic lasts.

Then you read the fine print:
"... the WHO will have total authority over emergency operations in the USA if there's ever a "public health emergency." Huh? [..] Every physician, practicing in the US promises not to do what you just heard, and it would become mandatory under this treaty. This is lunacy.  More here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-biden-who-power-health-policy

Republican in Name Only [Rino] Congressman Kevin McCarthy said he "does not favor legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship." But will he vote for it?? Trick! It is clear to many members of the general public that if Congress changes our laws to accommodate millions of illegal migrants by removing the current penalties of law (such as deportation). The "legalize illegals without citizenship" ruse is a way for Republicans like Kevin McCarthy to achieve amnesty by setting up bad legislation ...​
Picture
According to a report by Breitbart's Mathew Boyle in 2014 Kevin McCarthy, John Boehner and Steve Scalise tricked 219 Republican lawmakers into voting in support of Obama's amnesty actions. Apparently Kevin McCarthy helped switch the text of a bill at the last minute without informing lawmakers on H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.  More here from ALIPAC

Democrat from New York is leading in the third vote of the new 118th US Congress; his name is Hakeem Jeffries and Wikipedia says he's a Baptist in religion.

​The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise
​ 12-28-22, TIME MAGAZINE
Historian author of book about white's and exercise:
Natalia Mehlman Petrzela,

Picture
How did U.S. exercise trends go from reinforcing white supremacy to celebrating Richard Simmons? That evolution is explored in a new book by a historian of exercise, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, out Jan. 2023.
Nowadays,  according to a 2019 analysis of data on fitness tracking apps by Bloomberg, at the beginning of every New Year, many Americans hit the gym to work off their holiday feasts. This momentum usually starts to fade in mid-January. However, such new year’s resolutions are pretty new—as is the concept of exercise as a way to improve bodily health.
The author of this piece in TIME MAGAZINE SAYS: '... they’re saying [in the 1920's??] white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies. They’re writing during an incredible amount of immigration, soon after enslaved people have been emancipated. This is totally part of a white supremacy project. So that was a real “holy crap” moment ..." [..]
Today, you see quite a few fat people in the fitness industry, who now say that your body size does not necessarily dictate your fitness level. We should not presume that because you are fat, that you are not fit or that you want to lose weight. More here

History of Scottish Song "Auld Lang Syne"
Five Minute Video here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9uQncR-L50
In the 1780s the song 'Auld Lang Syne' was written by Robert Burns and today has annually become an anthem sung the world over at New Year's Eve. T
he song is all about preserving old friendships and looking back over the events of the year evoking a sense of belonging, fellowship and nostalgia. It's long been a much-loved Scottish tradition to sing the song just before midnight...
Everyone stands in a circle holding hands, then at the beginning of the final verse ('And there's a hand my trusty friend') they cross their arms across their bodies so that their left hand is holding the hand of the person on their right and their right hand holds that of the person on their left. When the song ends, everyone rushes to the middle, still holding hands and probably giggling.
Most people only know the first verses; following in entirety:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,

Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And long, long ago.
Chorus
And for long, long ago, my dear
For long, long ago,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For long, long ago
And surely youll buy your pint-jug!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For long, long ago.
Chorus
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine;
But we've wandered manys the weary foot
Since long, long ago.
Chorus
We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since long, long ago.
Chorus
And there's a hand, my trusty friend!
And give us a hand of yours!
And we'll take a deep draught of good-will
For long, long ago.
Chorus

7-4-2010, WashingtonExam -- ​In a far-reaching restatement of goals for the nation’s space agency, USA's NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives:
  1. “re-inspire children” to study science and math
  2. “expand our international relationships,”
  3. “reach out to the Muslim world.” [Of those three goals, Bolden said in a recent interview with al-Jazeera, the mission to reach out to Muslims 
Bolden also said the USA is no longer capable of reaching beyond low earth orbit without help from other nations.
In Bolden’s June 15 trip to Egypt ... in his speech at the American University in Cairo he said in the past USA's NASA worked mostly with countries that are capable of space exploration.  But that has changed in light of Obama’s Cairo initiative. 

“He asked NASA to change … by reaching out to ‘non-traditional’ partners and strengthening our cooperation in the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia and in particular in Muslim-majority nations. NASA has embraced this charge.” More here

In the Bible we see the Israelites place an important emphasis on certain days of the week (Exodus 20:8-11), certain holidays and observances throughout the year, and even certain years. The Year of Jubilee, which came every 50th year, was a year full of releasing people from their debts, releasing all slaves and returning property to who owned it (Leviticus 25:1-13); it was also dedicated to rest.

​Winter solstice 2022:
​Shortest day of the year is here

12-21-22, Today Winter solstice 2022 the official first day of winter. God miraculously created the seasons by tilting the Earth on its axis. Seasons have an enormous influence on vegetation and plant growth and the Earth’s temperature. The four seasons —spring, summer, fall and winter follow one another. Each has its own light, temperature and weather patterns that annually repeat. 
​
The Northern Hemisphere contains North America and the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa and most of Asia. In spring, plants sprout, tree leaves unfurl, and flowers blossom. Summer is the warmest time of the year and has the most daylight, so plants grow quickly. In autumn, temperatures drop and Winter typically has cold weather, little daylight, and limited plant growth. This year is seeing record breaking cold. More here from Newsweek

​Ole Joe Biden's Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights makes uneven progress [more]
11-21-22, BrookingsEdu --  The White House has released the blueprint for an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE [AI] Bill of Rights—which is likely the signature document ...  Most noticeable, however, is the near total absence of regulation of, or even introspection about, federal law enforcement’s extensive use of AI: There is no highlighted development of standards or best practices for AI tools in that field, nor did any representative from law enforcement speak at the document’s launch event. 
And, glaringly, the "AI BoR" opens with a disclaimer that says its nonbinding principles are especially nonbinding to law enforcement. This certainly does not present an encouraging picture. One is left to doubt that federal law enforcement will take steps to curtail unapproved use of facial recognition or set limits on other AI uses, such as affective computing, without mandated direction from leadership in the White House or federal agencies...
