🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 So Russia was right about the bio labs!? “The US Has Relocated Ukrainian Bio-Labs to Africa and Are Planning to Release Avian Flu a bioweapon To Start Another Pandemic, and Blame It On Putin. The U.S. bioweapon operations was relocated due to Russia’s liberation of the labs in Ukraine. Biden-owned Metabiota and other intermediary NGOs are running cover for the U.S. State Department and DoD, posing as humanitarian organizations to conceal their true objective of pathogen production for Big Pharma.“
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Director of Nat. Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases EVIDENCE of past US government funding 120 biolabs in 30 countries, including UKRAINE "The full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from you, the American people"

Obama’s CIA coup in Kiev in 2014 toppled Viktor Yanukovych. The Poroshenko regime (2014-2019) began attacking Donbass, a Russian-speaking region historically close to Russia. After 2014, Kiev turned against Russia, the Orthodox faith, and the shared history of the two peoples. In 2019, campaigning on uniting the ethnically divided former Soviet Republic, Zelensky won a landslide election. Once elected, however, under the thumb of the Banderites, he changed his tune. He could have told Biden, "I won’t sacrifice my country for your war against Russia," but decided differently. December 2021, Biden rejected Putin’s proposed mutual security accords that would have left “neutral” #Ukraine intact. Biden told Putin, “Russia doesn’t say who can join NATO.” Once again, as in Minsk I and II, Russia’s legitimate security concerns were brushed aside. According to ex-Biden adviser Amanda Sloat, senior director for Europe on the National Security Council, Ukraine could have avoided war in December 2021 with one step: “Ukrainian declaration of neutrality,” she said, “would have prevented the destruction and loss of life." On 18 February 2022, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reported that Ukraine had ramped up artillery attacks along the civil war Line of Contact. (Since 2014, NATO-armed Ukraine and neo-Nazis thugs had killed thousands of ethnic Russians in the Donbass.) 21 February 2022, Russia captured a Ukrainian soldier, killed five others, as they crossed over the border into Rostov. The Kremlin learned the invasion of Donetsk city was imminent. Three days later, with about 100,000 troops, Russia launched its “Special Military Operation” - not a "full scale invasion." Putin did not wake up on 24 February and decide, “I think I’ll invade eastern Ukraine today," nor was the US campaign to expand NATO into Ukraine a last-minute maneuver. US State Department documents show Ukraine’s future membership was discussed as early as 1994. Citing the UN principle, “Responsibility to Protect,” #Russia intervened in the eight-year Donbass conflict after all prospects for diplomacy had failed. Putin had learned growing up in the tough streets of St. Petersburg, “If you know there’s going to be a fight, throw the first punch.”

Iran is back to bombing us because we were bombing them because they were bombing us because Israel was bombing them and Lebanon. How about we leave? We have zero interests in Iran. None. How much are we expected to suffer for Israel? How long do we have to be their servants?

Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase: "We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament. No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good. So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily. Can you prove it? No. And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident. That is not an accident. And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that. The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on." @BretWeinstein

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has now claimed a deal with Iran was "close," "imminent," or "days away" at least 38 times since March. In that span, Iran went from "begging to make a deal" to "dying to make a deal" to "willing to give us everything" — yet somehow keeps not making the deal. The ceasefire announced April 7 was supposed to last two weeks while both sides finalized an agreement. That was two months ago. Trump's latest prediction, made Tuesday, is that a deal could come "in two or three days." His previous "two or three days" prediction was May 23.

The applause at the end was from the 12 surviving members of the USS Liberty as guests of Rep Massie in the House gallery. x.com/i/status/2064060246814…

Representative Thomas Massie's full 5 minute speech honoring the USS Liberty, victims, and survivors on the 59th Anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, with twelve surviving members in the House gallery as guests. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) became the first Congressman in decades to deliver a major speech on the House floor explicitly dedicated to memorializing the crew of the USS Liberty, questioning the official narrative of the 1967 attack, and addressing the injustice, cover-up, and the intentional attack and murder of US Sailors at the hand of the Israeli Military. ☦️ Memory Eternal for the USS Liberty's Fallen! 🇺🇸

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921. They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year. Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move. They lost them for two reasons. The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs. In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack. Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet. That fight dragged on for years. The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois. Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting. So now it's all gone. The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything. Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize. Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up. But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works. Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team. And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago. Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes. Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team." There it is. "Billionaire-owned." That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line. Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it. Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return." When you run things this badly, you sell what's left. They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect. Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check. But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires." Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in. Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster. Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.

Iran, now refusing to release its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz and the global supply of oil, is demanding that the price of an agreement include an end to US backing for the Israeli-directed horror show in the Middle East. Like a spoiled toddler, Trump is thrashing around – while cashing in on the volatility of the oil markets – trying to impose the old rules, when the terms of the confrontation are no longer under his exclusive control. His latest tantrum – one cooked up in Tel Aviv as much as Washington – is that most Arab states, including Iran’s neighbours in the Gulf, be forced to sign the so-called Abraham Accords with Israel. This is being presented as the framework for a regional “peace deal” involving Iran. In truth, it is the very opposite. The accords are designed to cement Israel’s status as the Middle East’s top dog, subordinating Arab states’ interests to Israel’s, and thereby isolating Iran in the region and leaving the Palestinian people and Lebanon to a genocidal Israel’s mercy. This is another swindle, like Trump’s “Board of Peace”, which dresses up US and Israeli criminal aggression and genocide as peacemaking. What the past 20 years of lies and misdirections have sought to hide is a simple fact: it is not Tehran that is led by unhinged, genocidal megalomaniacs threatening the security of the region and the world. It is Tel Aviv and Washington. Since the pair launched their criminal war of aggression against Iran three months ago, Tehran has shown restraint, acted with caution, and displayed a willingness to negotiate in good faith. Too bad there are no responsible adults on the other side with whom it can make a deal. This is an extract from my latest article Israeli claims about an Iran 'threat' were always a lie. Now we have proof. Read the rest here: middleeasteye.net/opinion/is…

I don't really understand how the LA mayor race is a race at all How is "There was no water in the fire hydrants" not just 100% disqualifying for both incumbents? What is the point of paying taxes if the lowest possible expectations are not met?
