I knew a family in California that homeschooled. I expect that California will make that harder and harder to do. Economically, it is already difficult.

Your children belong to the state, not you.
And then they wonder why people hate the state so much.
[NYP] Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned.
Cheatle, 53, is the second woman to lead the presidential protection agency and secured the non-Senate-confirmed role in August 2022 after a three-year stint as senior director of global security at PepsiCo.
Before that, she had served 27 years in the Secret Service, beginning in the Clinton administration.
Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.
"Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her," a Democratic insider told The Post. "Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director."
"I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option," another well-placed source told The Post.
'That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof'
This is the only place I've seen it, obviously he got it from somewhere but there's a woman sitting behind trump, that kind of ducks down just before the shots and holds up a Biden sign. Then as the shots are fired she ducks a little more, and pops back up with her camera. She didn't flinch, she did NOT react in a normal person on the downrange side of gunfire.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this was planned and not just by the patsy. He had help, the way was prepared for him. And I'll wager that SOMEONE from the FBI or CIA groomed him for this.
None of that matters when a flat building around a 150 yards away a 20 year old kid can snipe the President...
Imagine if the kid decided to first take out those SS snipers. He would have had a hay day. But remember, he didn't. He had one job. A kid who got kicked out of his own…

I can't wait to see the size of the Biden's Secret Service detail once they're out of office. Make the detail from the newly hired DEI broads. Two or three of them ought to suffice.

The story coming out is that the Penn state police had a sniper team, not set up somewhere, but in the building with the shooter on the roof.
Is that planning, or what?

[ZeroHedge] Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pushed a false “safe and effective” COVID vaccine narrative by underreporting adverse events. The mRNA shots “never should have been mandated,” Redfield told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday.
The Democrat-controlled Senate oversight hearing entitled “Risky Research: Oversight of U.S. Taxpayer Funded High-Risk Virus Research,” included witnesses Dr. Gerald Parker, Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, Dr. Kevin Esvelt, and Redfield.
Former President Trump’s CDC director accused the Biden government of suppressing data about vaccine injuries in an effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy.
“There was not appropriate transparency from the beginning about the potential side effects of these vaccines, and I do think there were inappropriate decisions by some to try to underreport any side effects because they argued that would make the public less likely to get vaccinated” Redfield testified.
Redfield said the biggest mistake of all was the Biden regime’s decision to mandate the mRNA products.
“They never should have been mandated,” he said. “It should have been open to personal choice. They don’t prevent infection, they do have side effects.”
A growing number of doctors and scientists now say that the cost to society and the cost to the individual taking the COVID injection far outweighed any of the proposed benefits.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pointed out that Biden regime officials like Dr. Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, continue to deny that the injections are dangerous.
“They’re saying they [vaccine side effects] are rare and they’re mild,” Johnson said.
“The FDA should release all of the safety data they have,” Redfield replied. “I was very disappointed to hear that they’re planning to hold on to that [safety data] until 2026,” he continued. “That really creates a sense of a total lack of trust in our public health agencies toward vaccination. It’s counterproductive,” he added.
Johnson lamented that he has been unable to get Rep. Gary Peters (D-Wis.), the chairman of the the Senate Homeland Security Committee, to issue any subpoenas to the relevant health agencies to obtain the safety data.
“I would suggest you do that,” the Republican told Peters.
Johnson was poised to spearhead investigations into COVID vaccine malfeasance himself as Chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations starting in 2023, but Republicans did not gain the majority in the 2022 midterm elections.
The Wisconsin senator said there’s “a lot more” being covered up than the COVID origin story.
“There are many aspects of our miserably failed response to COVID that needs to be uncovered, not the least of which, the sabotage of early treatment,” Johnson said. “The public has a right to know.”

So if The State wants to infect, inject and harm more it is OK. Because there was a lot $$$$$$ changing hands and The State needed to adjust the voting process for a win?

In the days of newspapers and 3 news channels, I never would have heard any of this. The government is struggling to claw back control with censorship, but it’s not going to happen

Covid was just the method the intel-biomed-Gates-military combine used to get you to accept mRNA as a platform technology for vaccines, to enrich Gates, top brass at Barda/HHS/military/Moderna and Gates's billionaire friends.
Covid was to get you to accept mRNA for humans
That's what the entire thing was about
Bird Flu is to get you to accept mRNA for livestock
anyone interested should look up Dr Mike Yeadon on substack, rumble, telegram (mike yeadon solo channel) and bitchute
he was Pfizer's former head of allergy research (global) - a toxicologist who spent decades at the head of drug discovery for allergy research at Pfizer.
He immediately saw the mRNA was a dangerous "vaccine" that would injure and kill people and he could immediately see why. He wrote to the European Medicines Agency immediately with Dr Wolfgang Wudarg (influential scientist who exposed the Swine Flu fraud) asking them to immediately halt the trials.
Instead he was censored to oblivion by the CIA and the Censorship Industrial Complex including the entire media sector plus Tech giants Google, Meta and pre-Elon Twitter. And though he's given 300 interviews you've likely never heard his name.
[DW] Remember: David Frum is a POS
Less than 24 hours after a failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump — which left one bystander dead and three others, including Trump, injured — The Atlantic’s David Frum blamed the violence on the former president and his supporters.
"The Gunman and the Would-Be Dictator," blared the headline, and on the off-chance anyone missed the intended tone of the piece, a subhead followed: "Violence stalks the president who has rejoiced in violence to others."
Frum’s premise was that Trump was a fascist and because "fascism feasts on violence," the former president was simply getting a taste of that which he had fostered.
Addressing the attack on Trump, which took place on Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally, as "a horror and an outrage," Frum went on to invoke history to quickly forget the name of the man who would commit such a despicable act. But first he blamed the victim, writing,"Now the bloodshed that Trump has done so much to incite against others has touched him as well."
"Trump and his supporters envision a new place for violence as their defining political message in the 2024 election," the political commentator continued, returning to his original premise. "Fascist movements are secular religions. Like all religions, they offer martyrs as their proof of truth. The Mussolini movement in Italy built imposing monuments to its fallen comrades. The Trump movement now improves on that: The leader himself will be the martyr in chief, his own blood the basis for his bid for power and vengeance."
Frum ventured further in the same vein, ultimately concluding that "the gunman and Trump, at their opposite ends of a bullet’s trajectory, are nonetheless joined together as common enemies of law and democracy."
Critics were not impressed with Frum’s take — and even less impressed with his timing — as they responded via X.
"David Frum needs help. In every way," Joe Concha commented.
"They are still trying to get Trump killed," The Blaze’s Auron McIntyre added.
"Former Bush 43 political appointees with Trump derangement are some of the most pathetic, delusional, and self-righteous people in politics. Blaming Trump and his family for his near assassination? @davidfrum definitely wins the trophy with this one. Truly a douche bag," Mike Davis posted.

[JustTheNews] The homeless encampments are visibly located between the two main convention sites.
Chicago officials have shut down a homeless encampment ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
The tents are gone from the site off the Dan Ryan Expressway south of Roosevelt Road. The people who lived there have been offered housing until Aug. 31 in a former hotel on the Near North Side.
Patricia Nix-Hodes, of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, said it is critical that the city provide permanent homes for the people who were moved.
"People shouldn’t be displaced for any major event without being offered housing," Nix-Hodes said.
Nix-Hodes also said the encampment area should not be shut down permanently.
"Unfortunately, people become homeless every day, so there will be other people who need that space when they have no place else to go," Nix-Hodes explained.
City workers have also been clearing an encampment farther south near the Dan Ryan, along Canalport Avenue.
Chicago Department of Family and Support Services Brandie Knazze said the City is acting proactively ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which is scheduled from August 19th through the 22nd.
The primary event centers for the convention are the United Center on the Near West Side and McCormick Place in the South Loop.
The homeless encampments are visibly located between the two main convention sites.
Knazze said the City plans to keep the homeless site near the Ryan Expressway and Roosevelt Road closed permanently.
Nix-Hodes said this location is a longtime spot for people who have no place else to stay.
"We don’t have enough affordable housing in the city. The shelter system has been over capacity, so people do need a place to go when they can’t find another place to go," Nix-Hodes said.
Commissioner Knazze said the City gave notice to the people in the homeless encampment near Roosevelt Road in June.
Nix-Hodes said her understanding is that outreach workers did visit the camp before the site was cleared.
Nix-Hodes said the encampment site should reopen, even if it is no longer needed for the people who are now being displaced.
"We don’t want to deprive people in the future who may become homeless from having that location, so that’s an important piece of this," Nix-Hodes added.
Nix-Hodes said it is important to think about what happens beyond the convention.
Earlier this year, the City reported a total of more than 18,000 homeless people within Chicago's boundaries.

Can’t they be used in a rally or protest to keep them busy? A portion of them would have experience as Dem activists. Give them a sign, a flag and a keffiyeh and you have an instant protester. They will even smell authentic.

Like Xi visiting SanFran the 'authorities' suddenly discover the ability to act.
[CBSnews] President Biden has directed the Secret Service to protect independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., following Saturday's attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Monday.
How very thoughtful and generous of him … or his administration, anyway.
The RFK Jr. campaign was requesting Secret Service protection long before the attempt on former President Donald Trump's life. The Kennedy family is painfully aware of how quickly life can be taken by a single attacker — both RFK Jr.'s father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, John F. Kennedy, were assassinated in the 1960s.
"In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Mayorkas announced during Monday's White House press briefing.
Kennedy is still trying to appear on ballots across the country, and his presidential aspirations are a long shot. But he does enjoy strong support from some Americans, and his events have drawn crowds.
Mr. Biden has ordered an independent review of Trump's Saturday rally and law enforcement's handling of the situation. Trump was not seriously injured when he was shot, but one spectator was killed, and two more were critically injured. The shooter was outside of the security perimeter, but managed to fire off shots mere hundreds of feet away from the stage of Trump's Butler County, Pennsylvania, rally site.

RFKs run is damaging to Biden although he does hurt Trump in certain swing states. Biden does not have the margin available to sustain the harm, though. I think that one of Biden’s handlers explained to Jill that pressuring RFK to get out by not giving him protection is liable to backfire in spectacular fashion. The post Trump assassination attempt polls are going to be brutal for Jill.

Slow Joe and his colleagues set the conditions for disaster by steering the ship of state into the night storm; then blame sleeping passengers for the wreck as the row away to safety.
He should be the next US President, he is the only one who will really root out their networks because he knows it from the INSIDE of the democrats where the rot is festering.
Trump can take care of the Bush/Cheney networks in the repubs.

FrankG, I spend a lot of time listening about it mainly as the best commentators come out of the US
RFK Jr is the only anti-corruption candidate you have
my evidence for this is Trump's previous presidency.
He didn't build the wall and he brought in operation warp speed bringing us all the poison vax. (and i am not interested in the 'dims blocked him' or 'he was deceived' excuses)
He sent weapons and money to Ukraine also - so much for America first.
He is a populist, which the Foreign Policy blob and military contractors don't like as it's a threat to their forever-war revenue
But he's not a big threat like RFK would be
He's not an existential threat
they're prepared to assassinate Trump for even being a minor threat to revenue and foreign policy control.
RFK would literally take them apart.
Also, Trump is not going to secure your southern border like you wish.
He has said he will electronically tag instead.
You want a secure southern border. Trump will say anything now and not do it. He had that chance already in 2016 and he didn't do it.
#13
Also Frank G I will say this, which is pertinent to everyone in the US.
Trump will win this election.
You are hoping that means he actions the things you care about: securing the southern border etc.
But he is not going to do any of that.
Trump will win the election
But you are not going to win the election.
That's because you're all just falling for the "I hate the other team" two-party shell game
It's one or the other side but both red team and blue team answer only to the donor class and that includes Trump.
In Australia far away here, sadly it affects us what happens in the US ricochets here including BLM including the poison mRNA, including the war on free speech - everything.

You think that when Trump wins that means you will win the policy changes that will make America great.
But the two things are different.
The Democrats are a corrupt disaster run by the war machine.
But Trump's entire first term in office shows he will promise you anything then not do it.
So really, either way you don't win.
Your only hope of getting your democracy to be responsive is to take the hard medicine, risk losing and vote for the independent candidate, you have a viable one in RFK.
You know what would happen then?
The two major parties would stop taking voters for granted.
[JustTheNews] Donald Trump as president pushed for members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to increase their defense spending to 2% of their total Gross Domestic Product as a central part of his foreign policy platform, but now President Joe Biden appears to be trying to take credit.
Members of the alliance initially agreed to the 2% spending increase during former President Barack Obama's presidency in 2014, but most members were not expected to reach the threshold by the 2024 deadline.
Prior to Trump's first term – from Jan. 20, 2017 to Jan. 20, 2021 – only three countries were meeting the target, though six reached the benchmark by the end of Trump's term.

NATO should have been disbanded in 1992 with the end of the cold war
Their only reason for existence is to funnel money to weapons dealers Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman etc as all the countries signing on have to agree to update their military equipment so it can be interoperable with NATO forces (which means buying US military hardware)
