Pull up a chair and open one of the thousands of rare books that sit on the shelves of the best bookstore in Pennsylvania. Book lovers won’t be the only ones enchanted by Baldwin’s Book Barn. This five-story bookstore in Pennsylvania, with its slanted ceilings and curved doors, provides ample opportunity to meet new people and explore a part of PA’s rich past.

Time seems to stand still at Baldwin’s Book Barn. Nestled among the rolling farmlands in West Chester, the barn was built in 1822.  The Book Barn, originally opened in Delaware in 1934, moved to the old barn in Pennsylvania in 1946.

Lilla and William Baldwin, who founded the famous bookstore, lived on the property in a converted milk house.

Today, Baldwin’s Book Barn beckons book lovers, historians, and curiosity seekers with its five floors of rare, out-of-print, and antiquarian collection of books.

But, that’s not all. You’ll also find an impressive collection of used books, maps, and prints among the more than 300,000 items that line the bookshelves.

In fact, you never know what treasures you will find on the bookshelves. Looking for a favorite book from childhood? A long out-of-print masterpiece you’ve always wanted to read? You just might find it at Baldwin’s Book Barn, what may be the largest bookstore in Pennsylvania.

Guests are invited to pull up a chair, sit back, and read for as long as they want during business hours. Don’t be surprised if one of the resident kitties rubs up against you as you read and relax.

Baldwin’s Book Barn welcomes shoppers daily between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

    10 dead in California shooting, horrible gun wielding ANTIFA protest against our great police in Atlanta – Nothing will happen to them despite night of rage and destruction. Yet our January 6th protestors, over a Rigged Election, have had their lives ruined despite nobody killed except true Patriot Ashli B. This situation will be fully rectified after 2024 Election. Thank you!

    A great honor to have won the Senior Club Championship at Trump International Golf Club, one of the best courses in the Country, in Palm Beach County, Florida. Competed against many fine golfers, and was hitting the ball long and straight. The reason that I announce this on fabulous TRUTH is that, in a very real way, it serves as a physical exam, only MUCH tougher. You need strength and stamina to WIN, & I have strength & stamina – most others don’t. You also need strength & stamina to GOVERN!

  16. UK ONS admits their data is flawed; the vaccines may not be beneficial after all. Sorry about that. The UK ONS admitted that the misinformation spreaders got it right and their stats are wrong. Which means that the COVID vaccine might not be helpful after all.

    EXCERPT: “Executive summary — Norman Fenton, Martin Neil, Clare Craig and Scott McLachlan authored a letter to the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) pointing out serious flaws in their data. These flaws would make the unvaccinated look worse than they really are. The regulator agreed they were right.

    [Editor’s note: An honest regulator is a rarity. This would NEVER happen in the US.]

    Bottom line: The UK government can’t prove the vaccines work. Nobody else can use their data to prove that the vaccines work. But we can use the data to prove the vaccines don’t work. Stay tuned…”

    TRUTH President Trump

    What’s going on with this one? As everyone knows, two primary Countries for money pouring into the coffers of Hunter and the Biden family are China and Ukraine. Seems that a large portion of the Classified documents which went to the Biden Penn Center made a big stop in Chinatown, D.C. The person in charge was a friend of Hunter named Cathy Chung. You can not make this up, but even I hope it is not true! Just think of what our poor Country has been suffering through?

  30. “Rogan, Snoop and a March on Washington” — there must be choice

    Robert W Malone MD, MS
    29 min ago

    By: Matthew Tune

    EXCERPT: “Just over a year ago, I was sitting at Joe Rogan’s studio in Austin with his Chihuahua, Snoop, in my lap watching history in the making as Dr. Robert Malone and Joe Rogan conducted one of the most influential and transformative interviews in the history of podcasting. Dr. Malone had been suspended on Twitter the day before the interview suggesting that “somebody” didn’t want his ideas to be heard. And with the recent revelations from Elon Musk’s Twitter Files and email exchanges released, it’s not too farfetched to think that the Biden Administration and Big Pharma were willing to muzzle any and all dissenting voices that spoke against their “safe and effective” COVID vaccine narrative. With an estimated audience of 11 million listeners, Rogan’s podcast routinely eclipses all the major TV networks’ top news shows and offered Malone a back door to reach millions of people who wanted to hear an alternative point of view.

    I was there with Louisa Clary, my Co-Organizer of the Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming march in Washington DC, to coach Dr. Malone on the details so that he could help us promote it on Rogan’s podcast. After the interview, Dr. Malone realized that he had forgotten to bring up the march. I appealed to Joe to join us in DC as the headline speaker, but he stopped me in mid-sentence and said, “Dr. Malone, let’s go in the studio and cut that in.” So at the end of the podcast, you hear Joe say that they are back (with Snoop in his lap) and Dr. Malone proceeds to announce the Defeat the Mandates march on January 23, 2022 from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial.

    Our mission statement was simple: “We want to be free. Free to work, free to travel, free to learn, free to question, free to speak, free to pray, free to say no. Stop the mass firings. Stop the segregating by vaccination status. Stop calling Americans unpatriotic for making a personal medical choice. Stop the censorship. Americans of every class and color. Democrats and Republicans. Vaccinated and unvaccinated. United we stand. In peace we march.”

    A week prior to our march, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement that the “US is in a state of heightened threat” and warned that law enforcement agencies were worried that large demonstrations against vaccine mandates could attract members of extremist groups. Clearly the ghost of January 6th was hanging over the scheduled rally. In sharp contrast to government projections, an estimated 40,000 people gathered peacefully on January 23rd without one single incident. One attendee, Erin Leigh, remarked on Twitter: “Defeat the Mandates DC is about 40% Trump supporters, 60% hippies in drum circles. I don’t think the establishment will like the idea of us uniting too much.” To the consternation of both DC elite and The Washington Post, prominent “misinformation spreaders” such as Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Pierre Kory along with many others delivered compelling indictments against vaccine mandates.

    Exactly one year later from that cold, blustery day on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, let’s briefly review some of the quotes from our “disinformation-peddlers” at the Defeat the Mandates march. You be the judge whether these doctors’ statements withstand the test of time.

    The former head of counterintelligence for the FBI’s New York City office was arrested over the weekend on charges of money laundering and violating sanctions on Russia, three senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.

    An FBI spokesman confirmed the arrest of Charles McGonigal, who was apprehended at JFK airport in New York on Saturday after returning on a flight from the Middle East. 

    U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said, “As alleged, Charles McGonigal, a former high-level FBI official, and Sergey Shestakov, a Court interpreter, violated U.S. sanctions by agreeing to provide services to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch. They both previously worked with Deripaska to attempt to have his sanctions removed, and, as public servants, they should have known better.”

  44. “US Federal Air Surgeon Susan Northrup should resign — If she doesn’t the FAA should fire her. She has put the lives of pilots, FAA employees, and the public at risk by her abject failure to investigate safety concerns associated with the COVID vaccines.”

    Steve Kirsch
    17 min ago
    EXCERPT: “Executive summary — In this article, I list over 15 reasons US Federal Air Surgeon Susan Northrup should resign immediately. If she does not resign, she should be fired.

    Failing to investigate numerous safety issues associated with the vaccine that were brought to her attention is inexcusable. Her actions risk the lives and health of FAA employees, pilots, and the public. I know of people inside the FAA and pilots who have been killed or permanently disabled because they followed the FAA’s directive to be vaccinated. Susan has not called any of these people to investigate. Nobody from the FAA has. That is a dereliction of duty.

    Also, since the FAA has never held an honest roundtable where the safety and efficacy issues associated with the COVID, I am now collaborating with US Freedom Flyers, Senator Ron Johnson, and The Highwire to do our own roundtable where we invite all interested FAA employees, doctors from either side of the debate, and pilots and FAA employees who want to tell their vaccine injury story (or the story of a friend if the person fears retribution). If you would like to speak at the meeting and tell your story, or the story of a fellow pilot or employee, please sign up here.

    The mission of the FAA — For context, read this. Note the word safety comes first.

    Now, read the argument below with that in mind…”

    Mexico Bans ‘Solar Geoengineering’ Experimentation
    by Kelen McBreen
    January 23rd 2023, 11:55 am
    Government issues statement to companies experimenting with weather control
    Experts cite environmental and health dangers as reasons to halt the practice

    Mexico’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources released a statement earlier this month prohibiting experimentation with solar geoengineering in the nation.

    The government’s announcement comes after media outlets exposed a startup company based in Mexico that was allegedly using hot air balloons to spread sulfur particles into the stratosphere to combat “global warming.”

    The company, Make Sunsets, is hoping to generate revenue by selling “cooling credits” to pay for flights spraying loads of sulfur particles, which is essentially a carbon credit scheme floated by globalist groups like the World Economic Forum, European Union and others.

    In a strange comment to MIT Technology Review, Make Sunsets CEO Luke Iseman said, “We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult.”

    The Mexican government noted in its press release on the subject that studies show negative environmental impacts due to the release of these aerosols and that they can cause meteorological imbalances.

    The statement also explained, “There is an international moratorium that remains in force against the deployment of geoengineering.”

    Due to these issues, the country’s ban on solar geoengineering intends “to protect communities and environmental environments.”

    Iseman told the Wall Street Journal he was disappointed by Mexico’s announcement.

    “I expected and hoped for dialogue,” he said. “I’m surprised by the speed and scope of the response. One of my dreams is that we could, in some distant future, grow Make Sunsets legally and responsibly.”

    Infowars and Alex Jones have been warning of the negative impact geoengineering can have on the climate, plants, animals and humans for decades now.

    Last year, we covered a UN climate panel report where the group considered spraying “sulfate aerosols” above the Earth’s surface to reduce global temperatures.

    Earlier this year, we wrote about a pair of men named James Marvin Herndon and Mark Whiteside who published a paper in the “Advances In Social Sciences Research Journal” accusing the United Nations of engaging in a conspiracy to destroy the Earth’s environment.

    In November, the Biden regime even announced a 5-year plan to research “climate intervention,” specifically using geoengineering practices to combat climate change!

    One geoengineering program, the “chemtrail” phenomenon, has been written off as a conspiracy by the establishment, but the technology is now slowly being acknowledged in the public sphere.

    Even former CIA Director John Brennan admitted at a CFR conference that a form of geoengineering called stratospheric aerosol injection could be used to reflect heat from the Sun.
