My quick "drive by" morning routine: Revolver, Breitbart, RedState, PJ Media, Townhall, Real Clear Politics, Just the News, The Post Millennial, the Daily Sceptic (UK), Spiked (UK), Citizen Free Press, Issues and Insights, and Twitchy. Sometimes Newstarget.com, Watts Up With That, and the City Journal. Best Substacks for news that I subscribe to are Matt Taibbi's Racket News, Shellenberger's Public News, Coffee & Covid by Jeff Childers, The Dossier by Jordan Schachtel, Christopher Rufo, and Lee Fang. I also follow Glenn Greenwald on Locals. Several of these aggregate stories with just links: the Daily Sceptic, Revolver, Citizen Free Press. Those can take you to interesting other rabbit holes! And yes, I pretty much read all of these at least once a day haha

Free George Santos! Lock up Hunter!

If NOT George Santos, they've implemented their 'Hegelian Dialectic' to such extremes there's any number of situations to use as common diversions, distractions or COMPLETE DENIAL as usual.

It's OK, J.D. The Morally Bankrupt and Sociopathic Rhodes Scholars and WEFFERS are INDOCTRINATED to naturally develop evil and it's cover/shield. Though it always requires a bit more time for the good in the world to catch-up, once it does THERE IS NO STOPPING IT. What is that quote about lies?

"A lie can be spoken and will spread around the world before the truth even takes the first step."...Is that it? IT'S A FACT.

I’ve found the reporting by Sundance at The Last Refuge (www.conservativetreehouse.com) to be very informative and often prescient. Catherine Austin-Fitts (Solari), Martin Armstrong (Armstrong Economics), James Rickards of Daily Reckoning, Tom Luongo, Jim Willie, Zero Hedge and Ed Dowd (Phinance Technologies) have been helpful on the economics side. I read Jeff Childers of Coffee & Covid for a legal / Florida angle on things. Some others I follow to varying degrees (and many on Substack) include Matt Taibbi, Michael Schellenberger, Lee Fang, Townhall, Gateway Pundit, Clif High, True the Vote, Dr Robert Malone, Dr Peter McCullough, Steve Bannon’s Warroom, John Solomon’s Just the News, Sasha Stone, The Federalist, Defending the Republic, and Mark Skidmore’s Lighthouse Economics. The list has been a two year process of constantly adding and deleting sources. Then I think back to when I subscribed to the Chicago Tribune, watched Fox News or PBS and called it a day. Life is more complicated now, but I’d still rather be awake than asleep.

So complicated trying to get truth, right?! Geez, since the plandemic... a constant search for real truth.

Real America’s Voice and Frankspeech.com (Mike Lindell) Both hours of Bannon’s Warroom afternoon show (2-4 Pacific) are on Frankspeech). Both sites present the news and happenings from the actual people involved. No mindless “debates” like Tucker referred to.

There's a guy named Rolo Slavsky out of San Francisco, I think, who writes a great deal about the Russian/NATO war with information and perspective I don't see elsewhere. He's made some predictions that have turned out to be true. He badmouths Zelensky and Putin and their respective gangster oligarchs, too. He could be a good addition for those looking for a different view of the war and all the mechanizations surrounding it and possible ramifications for us. Another guy in this area is Pedro Escobar. He has sage observations about the beginnings of WW3, plus more on geopolitical issues worldwide.

Thank you JD for bringing all this great information to us: so few venues that can be trusted.

Another excellent source of info and perspective on the Russia/NATO war is the substack Meaning in History by Mark Wauck (among other issues) with frequent links to Tom Luongo and interviews with Col. Douglas MacGregor.

Does that mean that you are no longer a former Yellow Dog Democrat?

The Santos arrest was also to distract from the hell that is going to be unleashed on America when the border swings wide open for all on Thursday morning, including terrorists, Chinese nationals of military age, etc., to enter without any resistance.

I've found Breitbart and even Townhall often print Swamp narratives. Not all of Townhall, but many of its writers are directly linked to establishment. You can see it in the articles they write and the sources they name. The Western Journal seems to have some of the same issues. To be honest, I don't trust the entirety of any conservative or alternative media, but I trust *none* of the reporting from legacy media, so I'll continue to do as much of of my own research to verify reporting as I can and continue to be skeptical of anything I can't confirm.

Santos staffer:

I can publicly confirm that during my brief time in the Congressman's office I had met secretly with agents from @FBI in an effort to work as a confidential informant and human asset against the Congressman during my course of employment in his office. I cannot go into further detail at this time.

Why did Santos staffer do this to the one he works for in US Congress? Was he compromised by DOJ/FBI?

Expand full comment

I don’t know.

Possibly turned on the congressman after the public revelations . Maybe pressured by the Feds to be their CI. Maybe a plant by the Feds and the Twitter feed is a cover.

You’ll not get the truth from Main Justice.

It is so obvious how they play the BS News distraction. Just because they turn the page doesn't mean you have to stay on that page. Santos is just a remnant.

It is not stupidity. It is all part on the evil plan.

Biden admin to allow for the release of some ILLEGAL ALIENS migrants into the U.S. with no way to track them

After more than 11,000 migrants were caught crossing the southern border on Tuesday, the Biden administration is now preparing a memo that will direct Customs and Border Protection to begin releasing migrants into the U.S. without court dates or the ability to track them, according to three sources familiar with the plans.
