Texas Governor Orders Arrest of Democrats Who Left State​

(Bloomberg) -- Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the arrest of Democratic lawmakers who left the state to block a controversial vote on new congressional maps.

“Texas House Democrats abandoned their duty to Texans,” Abbott said in a statement Monday. “I ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to locate, arrest and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans.”

The governor’s move followed a vote by the remaining lawmakers in the Texas House of Representatives to authorize arrest warrants, which don’t carry any criminal charges and can’t be enforced across state lines. Republican lawmakers proposed a redistricting plan last week that Democrats describe as a gerrymander designed to give more seats in the US Congress to the GOP.

Homeland Security removes age limits for ICE recruits to boost hiring for Trump deportations​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday that it is removing age limits for new hires at the agency responsible for immigration enforcement, as it aims to expand hiring after a massive infusion of cash from Congress.

The department said in a news release that it would waive age limits for new applicants so “even more patriots will qualify to join ICE," the agency responsible for finding, arresting, detaining and removing people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Here’s how day labor works in Southern California.

There’s a guy, likely named ‘Juan,’ who is a citizen or a permanent resident. Juan has 8-10 different companies that he ‘runs’ in gardening, farming, home repair, construction, clean outs, etc.

Juan will quote a client $40-100 an hour, then go to Home Depot and hire a bunch of illegals for $10-20 an hour to do the work. Juan sits in his $100k truck, eating, sleeping and hooking up tomorrow’s gig while the illegals toil in the muck.

Some would call Juan a business man. In reality, Juan is a human trafficker.
 
Why?

Because they are the WEF's pawns and cannon-fodder.

And much of the current government, including all of the Deep State, is in Davos Man's pocket.

Hello "Pastor" Talarico,

You've certainly made a name for yourself; the same Pastor James Talarico who told Texans there are "at least six sexes," who frequently invokes Jesus as a political prop (once suggesting voting for Trump meant we had "forgotten Jesus"), and who is allegedly a rising star in the Democratic Party.

You also have deep ties to Powered By People, the group under investigation for aiding Democrats in fleeing Texas. They have been one of your top donors historically, plus your current Chief of Staff was one of their directors.

So forgive me if I see your “Come and take it” as pure grandstanding. Your claim that "the seat doesn't belong to ... me" may be truer than you realize, because there’s a real chance it won't belong to you much longer. Because if @KenPaxtonTX’s investigations bear fruit, the only seat you may hold could be behind bars.
 
It's true... you'll soon discover if you haven't been paying attention


It sounds STRANGE when people first hear it...

...that there is a globalist cult that runs the modern Western world...

...a cult that has had total control for a very long time...

...and this includes running most of the world's illegal and criminal trafficking networks via proxies that are created...

...proxies that are openly criminal cartels and rogue nation states...

but behind the scenes it's a group of super-wealthy oligarch families that make up the globalist cult that are dictating what happens in the world...

...carefully setting up military wars/conflicts that are sustained for years, if not decades, to protect/expand the criminal trafficking networks...

...networks that traffic in humans, drugs, weapons, human organs, children, etc...

...and so the inescapable conclusion is that until Donald J. Trump somehow forced his way into power in DC not just once, but TWICE...

...the US government was an owned local affiliate and subsidiary of this globalist cult...

...and that means in a very real sense, the world's biggest human trafficker, arms smuggler and drug smuggling cartel is and always has been...the United States government.

If you'd told someone this 25 years ago, they'd have looked at you like you were a raving lunatic.

Now?

As The Great Awakening continues apace?

You don't sound all that crazy any more...
 
yep


As I posted yesterday, this peace deal is a much bigger event than most people know.
The reason that these two countries have been at war for 35 years, is because the CIA controlled Armenia.
Their installed puppets were going to war over a very narrow corridor of land that went through Azerbaijan.
That strip of land, was the pipeline for CIA/Hezbollah heroin trafficking from Afghanistan, through Iran and then into Europe via that small corridor.

It is no coincidence, that on the exact same day that Trump announced that he is unleashing the military to go after CIA controlled drug cartels, that he also did a very public peace deal between these two countries.

Trump isn’t just going to end drug trafficking into the U.S.
He’s also ending drug trafficking into Europe.

If you want to know why Armenia was so important and why Q included Armenia with rogue nuclear states like North Korea and Iran, here’s my Substack article from quite a while ago:

Trump Is Destroying the Globalist Plan

If I can sprain my rotator cuff, patting myself on the back...

...what have I said all along about Leftists and NPC voters, and others aimed on a suicidal course? And of course others, including one with orange hair.

I believe it was Ayn Rand who said, "Check your premises." Early and often. I was anything BUT a Trump supporter early on, ten years ago. I grudgingly voted for him; and frankly, I was pleasantly surprised.

Until Operation Warp Speed. Okay...aside from the catastrophic outcome of giving Big Pharma such a blanket pass, controlled as it is by Club-of-Rome technocrats and Elites...I can understand why he made that mistake. I've expounded on it at length.

What, then, explains Trump's compleat 180 from his previous person? He's wacky for war, now. Gomer Graham is his BFF. All that's left there, is to make John Bolton head of the misnamed Defense Department.

Epstein records erased, purged from the Wayback Machine, and Trump does a poor, who, me? for the press. I didn't do it; nobody saw me do it, you can't prove I did it, it never happened.

And mean time (I put it that way intentionally, it is a mean time) we got the One Bastard Bill he was pushing endlessly. Spending cuts "someday." Money for Big Tech and the Surveillance Industrial Complex, NOW.

And a backdoor CBDC. Who was the BIG enemy of CBDCs? Banksters. With Fedcoin, the whole reason for the Dimon Bank, JPMChase, disappears. Jamie Dimon wasn't going to be tossed out without a fight.

He got cut in. PRIVATIZE CBDCs...now, PRIVATE bank digital currencies. Limited to chartered (Establishment-approved) banks, but otherwise, undistinguishable from CBDCs. Programmable, but not by plebes - by the Elites, to control the masses.

So the Deep State just partnered up with Big Finance, as they did with Big Pharma.

You still think Trump is different? The only difference is, motivation. He's either being bribed or coerced. He's not going along out of conviction, but the end result is the same.

Check your premises. And keep checking. There's a whole lotta shape-shifting going on.

GROK:
"Operation Warp Speed was initiated by the Trump administration, announced on May 15, 2020. President Donald Trump tasked the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Secretary Alex Azar, and the Department of Defense with spearheading the effort. Dr. Moncef Slaoui was appointed as the chief scientific adviser, and General Gustave Perna as the chief operating officer.

Operation Warp Speed was a U.S. government initiative launched in May 2020 to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Led by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD), it aimed to deliver 300 million doses of a safe and effective vaccine by January 2021. The program partnered with private companies like Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, providing billions in funding to fast-track vaccine development while maintaining safety standards. It also streamlined clinical trials, manufacturing, and distribution logistics. By December 2020, two vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) received Emergency Use Authorization, a key milestone. The initiative was praised for its speed but faced criticism for distribution challenges and transparency issues."

I know a PhD in genetics who swears the jab works as designed.

I know all the stories about adverse reactions, but until 'peer reviewed' papers prove otherwise it's deemed to be a success.

That's just the way it is!

Not saying I agree with it, but that's the mountain to cross!! Until some entity does said study it is what it is!

Just think about how many people still believe the pandemic was a natural occurrence!

and then there is this:

Do you think Trump designed those Jabs?

Or, do you think, as I do, that he got hoodwinked - as I've said at length, that he came from an era where Science was seen as magic, where Salk and Sabin and Benjamin Spock, were going to revolutionize health and family structure?

As I said....check your premises. I can and I have. Trump lacks that ability.

That he got buffaloed in that chaos, is no shame on him. The shame comes that he cannot admit it, much less legally react to the horrific crime.
 
Trump didn't design the jabs.

Looking back (aka Monday morning QB-ing) I'm not sure he understood (would any of us?) that it was a bioweapon designed to unseat his presidency.

He responded better than ANYONE could have by mounting a government operation to get ahead of whatever was going on. Telephone meetings with all the governors comes to mind. Juxtapose that response to Biden taking care of the E. Palestine disaster, or the Hurricane disaster in the Appalachians.

Remember? We ALL implicitly trusted the medical profession and their Hippocratic Oath. NEVER did we believe it would be turned into a weapon on its own. That was the mentality of the nation prior to covid. Only in hindsight do we now know that something nefarious went down.

Did Trump get 'Hoodwinked"? Did anyone else get 'Hoodwinked'? Sure, but I don't hold that against him. Remember he was Danial in the lion's den at the time with deep state actors were all around him! He stood his ground, surveyed the lay of the land and learned from the experience. Who among us would have taken the beating he did only to return 4 years later to do it all over again, BUT this time on his terms?

I didn't take the jab. Why? Probably because I'm a contrarian by nature?

It's called The Great Awakening for a reason. Just look at what we now know vs what we didn't know in 2015!

Why should he admit anything? To please whom? Shame? LOL!

I look at what he did then and compare to what he's done in 8 months despite all the pushback from the DS. He came back guns a-blazing and is kicking assets!

There are a lot more changes ahead that will blow our minds. Of course if one followed 'Q' the path ahead is clearly laid out. I'm not concerned in the least. I already know where we're heading.

Grace is what is needed.
 
^^^

We shall see.

I'm defensive about this all, because the NPCs all join in, now as the Jab is coming to be understood as a fraud...that it's all Orange-Man-Bad, simply because he was IN OFFICE when this bio-weapon (obviously worked on for over a decade) was sprung on the masses.

That's not the answer. Nor is the answer Trump's answer - to deny and deflect and ignore. He's being as stupid as the NPCs attacking him.

I didn't take the poison, either - because my spidey-senses were up. Because, right off, I knew I wasn't going to be first in line - the Swine Flu debacle taught me THAT, anyway. I saw how they artificially made it hard to get, at first - stimulating demand, using ugly aspects of human psychology. Then, opened the gates for the masses. WHILE IGNORING ugly side effects (nurse Tiffany Dover, aka Tiffany Ponte, now deceased, her grave found in her maiden name, while Dustin Dover, her husband, bought an expensive home).

Those crude manipulations made me wonder...while all the while, hearing on discussion boards about "genetic modification" and mercury and what "lipid nanoparticles" might be. And then...BLANK INSERTS IN THE JAB SHIPMENTS?

When they started offering donuts, then gift certificates, and then money...and then threatening Refusniks...that's when I knew something was up. NEVER have a population been punished for declinding a "vaccine." Not even for smallpox. And the justification, was nonsensical, anti-science. MY not getting Jabbed doesn't affect the health of those who ARE jabbed - if the Jab was truly a preventative, which it clearly was not.

So...observation, consideration, critical-thinking...a change of premises. I used to own Big Pharma stonk. Fortunately I sold (at a big profit) long before this. Because I'd have a real moral quandary if I still held some.

As for Q...I don't believe it. Not a bit of it. There's no plan in action, here....maybe God's plan, but not some scheming comic-book operation.
