President Trump Announces Rally In Michigan on October 12th (Tuesday) on the Capital Steps – Will Call for Michigan Forensic Audit

0

President Trump announced today that he will be in Michigan next week calling for a forensic audit in the state.

President Trump released a statement on Friday, October 8, 2021, that said:

Big Michigan Rally coming up on Oct. 12th, on the Capitol steps in Lansing, where Patriots will demand a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam. The Voter Fraud is beyond what anyone can believe. Anyone who cares about our Great Country should attend, because unless we look to the past and fix what happened, we won’t have a future or a Country. Matt DePerno, Rep. Steve Carra, and Kristina Karamo, who I have endorsed, will be there. Let’s Go, Michigan, don’t let us down!

We knew election night that Michigan was stolen.  President Trump was up by tens of thousands of votes and then by morning, his lead was stolen.

The numbers never added up.

TGP obtained video of a van pulling up under the Detroit Center where ballots were being counted and dropping off tens of thousands of ballots.  Republican observers were locked out of the room where counting took place and AG Bill Barr prevented the FBI to investigate the crimes taking place there.  It was a communist takeover and our justice system didn’t care.  They were part of the coup.

President Trump was extremely popular and Biden wasn’t.  This was because of President Trump’s results with the economy and foreign affairs which totally outshined the Obama/Biden Administrations.

Let’s hope the people of Michigan come out in the thousands to support President Trump and the fight for free elections forever.

Federal Government Drops ALL Bogus Felony Charges Against Brandon Straka, #WalkAway Founder Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanors in Government Attempt to Break His Spirit

0

On Wednesday, October 6, Walk Away founder Brandon Straka pled guilty to a Class B Misdemeanor for the crime of disorderly conduct inside the US Capitol Grounds on January 6th.

Brandon did NOT go inside the US Capitol, did not participate in ANY violence, did not encourage violence, did not plan any violence, yet the corrupt and politicized federal government charged him with TWO felonies and a misdemeanor.

Brandon Straka was charged with crimes because Brandon Straka is EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE as a grassroots organizer!

Brandon’s story is amazing. After being a dedicated liberal for years and years he started to do a bit of investigating and decided he could no longer support the viciousness and lies of the left.

Today over 300,000 Americans have joined Brandon and the #WalkAway movement and have not looked back!

And THAT’S WHY Brandon Straka was targeted by the corrupt federal prosecutors for attending the rally on January 6.
Brandon is effective. He leads leftists to the light. And once they Walk Away they DON’T walk back!

After Brandon’s hearing this week where he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct, the demonic media portrayed this as a victory for their cause by proclaiming – Brandon Straka pled guilty for his ROLE “in the Insurrection.”

Brandon has spent 4 years advocating AGAINST political violence, and advocating for civility and respect in American politics.

Sentencing is December 17th.

Examples of Class B misdemeanors are graffiti, criminal trespass, and theft of property under $500.

The Gateway Pundit heard more about Brandon’s situation. Obviously, the leftist prosecutors put Brandon out of work for the past 10 months. Again, they did this because he is effective. How many other Republican operatives have flipped 300,000 Democrats to Trump in the last 4 years?

We also know from speaking to Brandon’s associates that he has not heard from the Trump campaign or GOP since this nightmare started in January. That is really tragic.

It should be clear at this point to ALL conservatives and populists that the current GOP is not up for the battle we are facing against godless Marxists.
Something needs to change.

Newsom Admits 12-Year-Old Daughter Has Not Yet Vaccinated Despite K-12 Vaccine Mandate for Rest of State

0

“Rule for thee but not for me.”

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom (CA) admits in a recent article published by LA Times that his 12-year-old daughter has not yet received the jab despite being qualified.  According to the governor, his daughter has a series of other shots to get first before she will get the COVID-19 vaccine.

LA Times reported:

Newsom’s office would not comment on whether the governor would support legislation to eliminate personal belief exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The governor has said the state’s process offers an “accommodating” personal belief exemption and will provide adequate time to hesitant parents to talk to their doctors and school nurses. He said his own daughter, who recently turned 12 years old and is eligible for the vaccine, has not yet received it because she has “a series of other shots” to get first.

The democrat governor prioritized other vaccines than the COVID-19 vaccine that could “save others lives” and “would end this pandemic”. Is he trying to say that this pandemic isn’t as dangerous as what the media want us to believe?

This is clearly a violation of his own K-12 vaccine mandate. This is an abuse of power by breaking the rules that everyone is expected to obey.

On October 1, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom announced the nation’s first k-12 vaccine mandate for in-person learning. Fresh off of a rigged recall election, he has gone into overdrive.

Previously, students who are 16 or older are only eligible for the Pfizer jab. Now, children ages 12 to 15 are qualified to get the Pfizer shot under emergency use.

It is not the first time the leftist governor has violated his own mandate. Last July, Newsom pulled his 10-year-old son from summer camp after maskless photos of the children surfaced.

In California children aged 2-11 must wear masks during “camps for youth, youth sports and other youth activities including theater and music performances and band.”

Democrat Newsom acted like the victim and threw the summer camp under the bus when confronted about the pictures of his maskless son.

Another incident was when Gavin Newsom attended a dinner party at The French Laundry, a restaurant in Napa Valley that charges $800 per person for their tasting menu while he told Californians they can’t gather with their families for Thanksgiving.

Your child has to get the poison jab, but Newsom’s daughter doesn’t.
Your child has to wear a face mask, but Newsom’s son doesn’t.
You can’t gather with your families for holiday, but Newsom can.

Twitter Censors Thread From Entrepreneur Who Regrets Taking the Vaccine After Serious Side Effects

0

Twitter has censored a thread in which Michael Robison explained that he regretted trading “my solid health, for a temporary freedom to travel and freedom from being criticized.”

Robison — an investor, entrepreneur and the founder of SPARTN Monkey Rescue — had posted his personal story about his health declining after taking the COVID vaccine and warned people to “THINK, STUDY & BE AWARE” before getting it themselves.

“I am not anti-vaccine… but I will caution…. Proceed with care!!! Police cars revolving light I am now fighting a T-Cell Lymphoma as a result of the degraded MRNA Protein Spike via dendritic reaction, called by Pfizer a waning immunity! It is not truly a safe precaution for #COVID19,” Robison wrote.

Robison continued on to say “the CDC, Pfizer, Moderna and J&J know that the instability of IVT use of MRNA is accompanied by the bodies clearing of the Inert 19 Protein Spike by the immune system. When it leaves the cell structure compromised after insertion & clearing…. It results in autoimmune issues….”

“One such issue is the risk and causation of severe results such as Leukemia and T-Cell Lymphoma. Another common long term effect is autoimmune disorders that impact the skin…. And require life long maintenance and treatment…” the thread continued. “All such issues and cases have been consistently reported to VAERS which is co-managed by the CDC & FDA…. But no attention or research has been prioritized or funded for this repository of information!”

“My caution is this…. Be aware. As late as 2018 all of the groups involved were still convinced that MRNA was still far too unstable for use in vaccine distribution. This vaccine is the largest form of a clinical trial in the history of mankind,” Robison wrote.

He concluded by saying, “my caution is this…. Be aware. As late as 2018 all of the groups involved were still convinced that MRNA was still far too unstable for use in vaccine distribution. This vaccine is the largest form of a clinical trial in the history of mankind.”

Soon, the first post of the thread had amassed over 100 retweets — and was noticed by the censors.

First, Twitter slapped on warning on the tweet claiming that it is “misleading” because health officials say that the vaccines are safe for “most people.” They also took away the ability to like, comment or share it.

Next, the platform made it so that if you clicked on the first tweet, the ones below it no longer appeared.

Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, Robison said that “this stark, swift and harsh censorship by Twitter is a reminder that the ‘facts’ you read on any social media platform are not unbiased or unfiltered. Rather it is dictated by narratives that fit the political or personal gain of those in charge of multi-billion dollar platforms to which we have surrendered our lives.”

“It’s good to be reminded that social media is nothing more than a highlight reel of life, managed by agendas, driven by money!” Robison continued.

You can follow Robison (and his adorable monkeys) on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook — for now, anyways.

Arizona Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema Allegedly Not Returning Joe Biden’s Phone Calls

0

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema was ambushed in a women’s bathroom last week by left wing activists who were angry that she wasn’t supporting the Democrats’ massive spending bill.

Instead of supporting Sinema, Biden brushed it off saying that’s just “part of the process.”

Now Sinema is apparently not returning Biden’s phone calls. Can anyone blame her?

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Kyrsten Sinema Is Not Returning Joe Biden’s Phone Calls

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) reportedly does not always return President Biden’s phone calls concerning the negotiations of reconciliation, CNN reported Thursday.

“Biden himself has sounded exasperated at both Manchin and Sinema,” according to Democrat lawmakers who have spoken to Biden about reconciliation negotiations. “The President told progressives this week that he has spent many hours with the two senators ‘and they don’t move.’”

The legislative standoff is so bad that CNN’s sources told the news organization that Sinema does not “always” return phone calls from Biden.

To resolve any bad blood between the negotiating factions, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reportedly suggested Biden assemble both senators in a room to hammer out a compromise on the massive tax and spend package, but Biden reportedly believes that would not help the interparty standoff.

The president “told the progressive House Democrats that he’s been in politics a long time — and getting them together in the same room would almost be like ‘homicide,’” CNN reported.

Leftists are really angry about this.

Maybe leftists shouldn’t have harassed her in the bathroom. And maybe Biden should have stuck up for her.

What Size Should You Split Your Firewood?

0

When the weather turns cooler, those of us who rely on wood for heating will have much to do. Even if you are planning only the occasional summer cookout, fall bonfire or cheery winter gathering around the fire pit, you will need lots of firewood.

But, chucking logs and sticks into your stove, fireplace or fire pit with no regard to size or shape is anything but efficient.

firewood

To maximize your control over your fire and your return on investment you should properly size your firewood for the purpose. So, how long should your firewood be split?

For most applications, you’ll get the best results from your firewood if split into lengths measuring 12 to 14 inches long (30 to 35 cm), and three to five inches (7 – 12 cm) wide at its widest point.

This ensures quick, reliable drying, proper ignition, and effective control over heat and size of your fire. Larger or smaller sizes may be required for special applications.

Want to learn more about the proper sizing of firewood for any application? Keep reading and we will tell you all about it.

Efficiency is Important

Building and managing an actual fire as opposed to a heating appliance is not easy. It is a genuine skill, and there won’t be any knobs to turn or buttons to press if you want it to be hotter, or cooler.

You adjust the intensity and heat output of a fire by adjusting what kind of fuel you feed it and how often. Similarly, how long your fire will burn is dependent upon the fuel load.

Accordingly, you can afford yourself far better and more granular control over your fire by properly sizing your firewood.

Discounting small twigs and splinters that could be used for tinder or kindling, proper firewood, your primary fuel, is generally more adaptable to your purposes when it is cut a little smaller.

The 12 to 14 inches long and three to five inches wide nominal size mentioned above is ideal for feeding most campfires, stoves and fireplaces.

This ensures you will get meaningful heat and run time from what firewood you add without it being so large that it burns longer than you would like. It is also large enough to keep you from heading back and forth to the wood pile seemingly every five minutes to fetch more fuel.

Smaller Firewood Dries Faster

Anyone who has spent any amount of time tending a fire knows that seasoning firewood is essential to proper performance, efficiency and the reduction of smoke.

Seasoning is just another word for drying, and most species of wood in an average climate will require months to fully dry out into prime, usable firewood.

Splitting your firewood into smaller overall sections reduces the time needed to season. This is because the quantity of moisture held in the fibers of the wood is reduced compared to a larger section.

If you have ever chopped your wood into a variety of sizes you have likely noticed that the largest pieces, typically rounds intended for use in a bonfire or turning into a Swedish torch, take longer than all the others to properly season.

If you are already running behind on stacking firewood for the cold season, chopping it into a smaller size can help speed up the process and catch you up. If you decide to go with larger sizes, you must be prepared for dealing with only partially seasoned firewood and the complications that presents.

Smaller Firewood is Easier to Manage

Smaller firewood presents logistical advantages too, not just performance advantages. It is lighter, easier to carry and easier to stack. You can fit shorter lengths of firewood into or under smaller containers in a more efficient way.

When the time comes to stack, move, rearrange or inspect your pile of firewood your back will thank you that you are working with lighter chunks.

Remember that every piece of firewood you cut will have to be moved twice, at least. The first time on to the pile and the second time on to your fire or into your appliance. It might seem like a small thing now, but the extra effort you’ll put into moving those larger pieces will add up.

Also consider that it might not be you, stereotypically a young, fit and strapping man dealing with the firewood. It could be one of your elderly parents, a younger child or someone who is injured or otherwise infirm.

And a survival situation where maintaining a fire can be a literal matter of life or death, ensuring that the primary fuel is capable of being handled by everyone in the group is important.

Make Sure Your Firewood Fits in Your Appliance!

Lastly, one of the single most important reasons for cutting your firewood a little smaller is to ensure that it can fit in any appliance or fireplace.

Trying to coax and canoodle an overly long piece of firewood into a stove or firebox that cannot hold it is a great way to start an accidental fire in or around your home or get the fire to behave erratically.

Wood burning stoves especially come in a variety of sizes suitable for heating different size structures, and accordingly they will need wood cut to a particular size for proper use.

Fireplaces, too, today are found typically in standard sizes but vintage fireplaces could be any size. It is worth noting that most modern fireplaces are designed to hold firewood measuring between 14 and 16 inches long.

No matter what size appliance or fireplace you are dealing with, you’ll generally want to size your firewood to a length that is 4 in shorter than the appliance or fireplace is wide to ensure there is a gap between your fuel and the walls of the appliance or fireplace.

Obviously, if you are sizing firewood for use in an open fire pit of any kind you will have far greater flexibility in the sizes that you can utilize, but even so you should still size your firewood accordingly so that it does not overhang the bounds of the pit.

A too large piece of firewood that splits or pops can easily scatter sparks, or cause other pieces of wood to tumble and potentially result in an accident.

When in doubt, size your firewood a little smaller versus a little larger and you shouldn’t have any issues!

Conclusion

Properly sizing firewood ensures good performance in all aspects. A 12 to 14 inch overall length combined with a width of three to five inches will make for firewood that is easy to manage and handle while providing good heat output, burn time and behavioral characteristics.

Improperly sized firewood might not fit in the appliance or the fireplace being used and will make for more labor during storage and transportation.

Make your life easy and get the most out of your fire by splitting your firewood to the right size for the job!

“I’m Embarrassed I Can’t Remember Exactly Which State I Was In” – Biden Recalls Bizarre Story About a Little Girl with a Teddy Bear He Encountered on Campaign Stump (VIDEO)

0

This is why Joe Biden’s staffers mute his speeches or turn off the tv when he’s speaking.

Joe Biden delivered remarks before signing proclamations to restore national parks and monuments Friday afternoon.

Biden coughed as he attacked Trump and struggled to read his teleprompter.

At one point Joe Biden veered off script and that’s when things went south.

Biden recalled a bizarre story about a little girl with a teddy bear he encountered when he was on the campaign stump.

“I gotta tell you a quick story,” Biden said with a smug look on his face. “When I was running for office, I’m embarrassed I can’t remember exactly which state I was in, but a gentleman and I think it was his wife and a little girl who said ‘could I talk to you?’ – And she had this… it looked like a teddy bear and she said ‘could I talk to you?’ – She wasn’t sure what to call me since I wasn’t elected yet.”

Biden continued, “She said ‘I want to give you something. I want to give you some bears ears…she said ‘you gotta promise me, you gotta promise me you’ll protect the bears ears.”

Joe Biden said he was confused by the little girl’s request so her dad chimed in and said “you know, a national park.’ [Bears Ears National Monument in Utah]

We’re just going to file this in “things that never happened.”

Just In: Biden’s DHS CANCELS All Remaining Border Wall Contracts in 2 Overwhelmed Sectors; Calls on Congress to Fund “Smarter” Border Security As Unprecedented Numbers of Illegals Continue Pouring Across Areas With NO WALL

0

Last year, while Trump was still commander-in-chief, Americans were enjoying the most secure southern border they’d had in their lives. Trump had delivered on his promise to build the wall, which had severely limited the areas where cartels and smugglers could operate freely and made it much harder for people to sneak across without being apprehended.

Although construction was not completely finished (most of it was, the swamp fought at every turn for 4 years to interrupt any progress), the entirety of it was paid in full, and all of the contracts were signed – all that was needed was a little bit more time.

In other words, despite the areas that still needed to be completed, the wall was a resounding success.

But now, Biden’s DHS is ensuring that the wall will not be built, wasting hundreds of millions in taxpayer money that was supposed to be spent on building the wall in the process.

On Friday, the DHS announced in a press release that it will be canceling any border barrier contracts that are still in effect in two of the most heavily trafficked sectors on the southern border – The Laredo sector and The Rio Grande Valley Sector – and will reallocate the remaining funds to conduct “environmental planning” in the area.

The DHS will also ask Congress to approve more funding for what they call “smarter” border security measures.

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t trust anything coming from these charlatans as “smarter,” these are the same people who – in just 10 short months – have caused this unprecedented mess after being handed the most secure border in history. If these crooks are given any more taxpayer money to put towards the border, it will just be used to import and pay off more illegal democrat voters.

Biden and these sellouts don’t care one bit about stopping illegal immigrants from flooding the US or protecting Americans, the crisis on the border is all about seizing power for the long run.

They were even willing to spend a whopping $5 million PER DAY to NOT build the wall. 

The severely understaffed US authorities who are struggling with the record-shattering influx of illegal aliens on the southern border could be using all the help they can get right now as they are preparing for another unprecedented month of crossings – but instead, the open-borders Biden administration has undermined them and US immigration law at every turn, while also continuing to encourage unvetted foreign nationals to come in droves by offering up taxpayer-funded incentives and bogus amnesty that shields them from deportation.

The DHS should be demanding that Biden send in the US Military to get a handle on the border crisis, not wasting hundreds of millions of dollars that was already spent on contracts to finish the wall.

Department of Homeland Security… What a JOKE.
