Odds & Ends
The persecution of people who support PDJT and the idea of America continues. Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, had his cell phone seized by FBI agents. This is part of the ongoing effort to silence conservatives.

Here’s what they’re up to now.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is speaking of “flattening the curve” — but she’s not speaking about COVID.
She’s using that propaganda phrase for a whole new purpose now. The “curve” is energy use.
Thinking outside the box. Good problem solvers often can think well outside the norms. In the case of the Mar-a-Lago raid there appears to be a larger story going on. One has to look at the whole gamut of what is going on to fully appreciate that. What might seem to be one thing on the surface can turn out to be something else entirely.
Another example of the politicization of the law enforcement agencies in this country surfaced last week. Steve Bannon, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, was indicted on a litany of charges related to attempting to build a wall on the southern border.
Satire Warning:
In the past the headline below would have been a clear lead-in to a piece of satire. This kind of headline would be seen in places like Babylon Bee. The only problem with this one is that it is the truth.
After Using FBI To Suppress Son’s Crimes And Raid Political Rival’s Home, Biden Warns Democracy In Danger
What follows is satire. Of course, all good satire contains truth sprinkled in.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 of this series have highlighted how specific activities have dissolved the rule of law and shown the corrupt nature of secret courts and ubiquitous surveillance.
PDJT continues to call out the corruption in the swamp that is Washington. PDJT continues to stand for all Americans. This post speculates on just what the evidence is that PDJT has.
During the George W. Bush years, Glenn Greenwald rose to prominence for his opposition to the White House’s record on civil liberties.
Oh, the left wing establishment loved him. But Greenwald is a not a one-side-of-the-aisle critic. When it comes to outing government repression to the disinfecting rays of sunshine, Glenn is an equal opportunity critic.
Recently Greenwald published a thread on Twitter. Here he describes exactly what’s going on with the suppression of dissident voices. This is not “they’re private companies; they can do what they want.” Greenwald lets a flood of sunlight onto the dark crevasses of Big Tech/government collusion.
The Biden administration’s student loan relief scheme has gotten a lot of press. But there is an item that needs to be noted about this wave of the presidential wand. And that is outside the fact that Biden is trying to bribe voters to vote Democratic.
The new wrinkle, and one that’s sure to send politicians scrambling, is how some of those who get their loans “forgiven” may owe state taxes on what effectively becomes income. Again, from Bloomberg:
Residents of New York, Virginia and eleven other states could end up with a surprise tax hit of hundreds of dollars next year on forgiven student loans.
President Joe Biden’s announcement that the government would forgive some student debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 was welcome news to many carrying large loan balances. But 13 states have laws that treat this forgiven debt as income, meaning that it’s subject to state levies on earnings.
This entire episode is a reminder that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
One person’s view with some thoughts of my own.
The Mar A Lago raid by the JØbama FBI/DOJ reeks of political theater with a purpose – to advance their agenda narrative and to prepare the way to more communist tyranny.
FBI director, Christopher Wray, has already publicly insinuated that MAGA people are domestic terrorists, and domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to ‘our democracy’
What about Antifa and BLM, the domestic terrorist, shakedown mafia who operated a protection racket and got big money from corporations – who destroyed cities, businesses, targeted and killed innocent law enforcement? ...
The September 1st speech by Joe Biden at Independence Hall in Philadelphia was “one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in Us political history.” Biden’s handlers tried to walk this back the next day when the backlash was off the scales AGAIN.
