Massive ‘My Son Hunter' Bridge Banner Goes Up in Dallas, Texas
[Breitbart] With over 4 million views of the trailer, it appears that My Son Hunter has inspired folks in the Lone Star State to spread the word about the highly anticipated movie. The Dallas 1776 Bridge Brigade put up a massive banner on the Northpark Blvd Bridge over Central Expwy (75N), in the heart of Dallas, Texas.
Literally a sign:

#2  Antifa demonstrations at all the theaters showing this movie?

I’ll start the countdown the brown shirts can’t let this opportunity go to waste

Or am I being too cynical?

#3  Looks like that tweet, up several days, has c. 1200 likes, a tiny fraction of what any of hundreds of pols or luvvies (theirs or ours) would get for saying "I made a poopy!"

The Grand Turk
Erdogan just makes major threats against Greece!
[Twitter]


Yes, yes. He does so regularly. Thus far the only price Greece has paid is to be the first stop for Turkey’s regular release of Moslem migrants colonists into Europe.
Al Arabiya has more:
Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
on Saturday warned Greece it would pay a "heavy price" if it continued to "harass" Ottoman Turkish planes over the Aegean.

"Hey Greece, take a look at history. If you go further, you will pay a heavy price," Erdogan told a rally in the Black Sea region.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
has in recent months complained of what it calls provocative actions by Athens, saying such moves undermine peace efforts.

The two uneasy NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure....
neighbors have long-standing sea and air boundary disputes which lead to near-daily air force patrols and interception missions mostly around Greek islands near Turkey’s coastline.

Athens accuses Ankara of overflying Greek islands.

Turkey says Greece is stationing troops on islands in the Aegean Sea in violation of peace treaties signed after World Wars I and II.

An infuriated Erdogan on Saturday accused Greece of "occupying" the islands.

"We have only one word to tell Greece: Do not forget Izmir (Smyrna in Greek)," Erdogan said, referring to the end of the Greek occupation after Ottoman Turkish forces entered the city in the Aegean coast in 1922.

"Your occupation of the islands does not bind us," Erdogan said.

"When the time comes, we will do what’s necessary. As we say, we may come suddenly one night," he added, using his often-repeated words when he talked about launching an operation into neighboring Syria.

In June, Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Ankara would challenge Greece’s illusory sovereignty over the islands if it continued to send troops there.

#5  Turkey and Greece have been fighting for centuries. Nothing new here.

#6  But I think we can rely on Brandon to take sides with Turkey.

#7  Probably for something reciprocal that the Turks won't honor anyway, Abu.

#8  Eh. just about on time.
He is completely blocked on the east, can't tableflip the applecarts on the south-east... Syria is deadlocked... Cyprus area is also deadlocked between NC opposition and Israeli graft... Egypt is evading like crazy, Libya is too far for domestic consumption, Can't really brag about Ukraine or Russia and live...
So yes, it is time for another barkfest vs Greece.
After quietly selling off the islands and their non-armed status on the previous merry-go-around...

Government Corruption
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mistakenly publishes confidential data for 120,000 taxpayers on its website

#3  TW, it was the last time before the first time, that the middle time was so successful, it gave the IRS such great results, so they tried it again. smile not 😒👌

#4  There was no "publication mistake." Human consumption levels and impacts on renewables will be constantly monitored. Your identity must be made readily available.


Posted by: Besoeker || 09/04/2022 5:23 Comments || Top||

#5  So, Raj, your expert advice please? Is it worthwhile / necessary for me to contact my accountant? Will she even be able to determine whether I was one of that 120,000? If I was, am I basically totally screwed?
Posted by: M. Murcek || 09/04/2022 6:08 Comments || Top||

#6 

Wonder how many of the 120,000 are MAGA voters?

Will the IRS be paying for the CREDIT & ID THEFT Protection Services for life (eg. Lifelock)?
Which is about $11,880,000 a year for the next 20 to 60 years.

#10  Not to worry, the 85,000 new employees can protect us with their guns!

#11  49 Pan, are you paying attention? Those thousands of agents aren't being hired to protect YOU.
Posted by: Rambler in Virginia || 09/04/2022 9:59 Comments || Top||

#12  ^ Just Pan engaging in a bit of sarcasm. His thought processes are still intact, I assure you.
Posted by: Warthog || 09/04/2022 10:04 Comments || Top||

#13  M. Murcek (et al) - I wouldn't worry about it. It looks like the 'released' data is limited to 990-T forms and related schedules, so unless you contributed $5,000 or more to a nonprofit in the past couple of years, your name / information isn't part of it.
Posted by: Raj || 09/04/2022 10:27 Comments || Top||

#14  Thanks, Raj. Sorry to put you on the spot, but you are the go-to expert for that stuff here. I greatly appreciate your take on this.

#15  $5,000 or more to a nonprofit

Sounds like a problem for a lot of lefties.

#16  $5,000 or more to a nonprofit

What? Are you saying they doxxed George Soros?

#17  Back to paper only. Same with voting.

#18  $5,000 or more to a nonprofit

A PAC donor list. Mid-term Republican donors?

#1  Please, I fell for this Baby Lon Bee BS, too many times, it is not satire; this guy belongs in a nursing home for dementia patients, not 1600 with a 'football' at his knee. For All our sakes, please will somebodies in Congress wake-up, and call the game @half-time, make real choices, make America what she should be; a leader of the world, not a CCP follower in Brandon's International Crime Syndicate?

JUST SAYING
The new LSD PC term for Pedophile is “minor attracted persons.” 👨‍👧‍👦

Does anyone seriously think the DOJ or the state of PA will indict JB?

#3  I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that the best wat to stop "mean tweets" is to just close down Sh*ttah...

#4  Re: #4 Does anyone seriously think the DOJ or the state of PA will indict JB?


Only if Biden is planning to move into the Mar-a-Lago Neiborhood, and ostensibly preparing for a life post-presidency.

#8  Seems the media is spending a lot of time rumor mongering who t Mar a Lago
They seem to want this speech off the front page as soon as possible
Posted by: Sock Puppet of Doom || 09/04/2022 17:35 Comments || Top||

#9  The Dorf Brandon campaign has been going on for a month+, the last couple weeks has had staged slurring from both parties, staged leaks about the content of the speech, all to culminate with that night.
