Happy Birthday, Melania!

History 6 Minutes

Melania Trump, née Melania Knauss, {original name Melanija Knavs}, was born April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia [now in Slovenia]. She grew up in Sevnica, Yugoslavia, where her father sold cars and her mother worked in the textile industry. She attended the Secondary School of Design and Photography in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. She then studied Architecture and Design at the University of Ljubljana for one year before leaving to pursue a modeling career. She found success, first in Slovenia and later—under the name Melania Knauss—in Milan and Paris. In 1996 she was brought to New York by Paolo Zampolli’s modeling agency. In the course of her career, she appeared on the covers of several magazines, and in 2000 she modeled for Sports Illustrated’s popular swimsuit edition.  Melania is fluent in Slovene and English, and also speaks Italian, French, German and Serbo-Croatian.

Knauss first met Donald Trump in 1998 at a fashion industry party in New York City. He was then married to Marla Maples, whom he was to divorce in 1999. After a long courtship, Trump and Knauss were married on January 22, 2005, at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida. It was his third marriage and her first. In 2006 Melania gave birth to Barron William Trump, her first child and Donald’s fifth. In that year she also became a U.S. citizen. During this time, Melania continued her career. In addition to occasionally modeling, she marketed a line of jewelry sold by the QVC company and developed a line of caviar-based skin care products. Melania strongly believes in women equality and stands for it.

In 2015 Donald announced that he was entering the U.S. presidential race. When he made immigration a central issue, the details of Melania’s own immigration history were scrutinized, including allegations that she worked in the United States before acquiring the appropriate visa. Although Melania did not take a prominent role in the campaign, she spoke at the Republican National Convention in July 2016. Her speech initially drew praise but was later revealed to contain sentences and phrases similar to those spoken by Michelle Obama eight years previously. A speechwriter apologized for the seeming plagiarism.

Melania subsequently maintained a low profile until several weeks before the election, when she defended her husband after a series of women accused him of sexual assault and harassment. On November 8, 2016, Donald was elected president of the United States, defeating Hillary Clinton; he took office on January 20, 2017.

Melania initially made few appearances as first lady, and she did not move into the White House until June, after her son finished the school year. In 2018 she launched the Be Best initiative, which focused on children. Its main objectives included ending cyberbullying. In May 2018 she underwent an embolization procedure for a benign kidney condition. During her husband’s reelection campaign in 2020, Melania took a limited role, though she spoke at the Republican National Convention in August. Two months later both she and the president tested positive for COVID-19, but both recovered.

The Controversies

The Photos

When Donald announced his intentions to make a 2016 presidential bid for the White House, the normally private Melania was pushed into the national spotlight along with her past modeling work, some of which was considered racy. One of the first controversial images that began circulating online was her 2000 British GQ spread that had her lying naked on a fur blanket.

Not long after, more controversy followed. On July 30, 2016, the New York Post published nude photos of a then 25-year-old Melania, including one in which she lay in bed with another woman. Many of the photos were published for a men’s French magazine that is no longer in circulation.

Discussing the nude photos, Donald told The Post, “Melania was one of the most successful models and she did many photo shoots, including for covers and major magazines. This was a picture taken for a European magazine prior to my knowing Melania. In Europe, pictures like this are very fashionable and common.”

The Speech

While Donald Trump was campaigning for the 2016 presidential elections, Melania Trump gave a speech on July 18, 2016, at the Republican National Convention. The speech became controversial after it was found to be partly similar to Michelle Obama’s speech given at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. According to the Biography website, a staff writer took responsibility for the mistake:

Shortly thereafter, Melania staff writer Meredith McIver took responsibility for the gaffe, claiming she accidentally included part of Obama’s speech in Melania’s talking points. McIver issued the following statement explaining what transpired:

“In working with Melania on her recent first lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech.”

The LanguagesMelania Trump is a multi-linguist with good command over Slovene, English, German, French, Italian, and Serbo-Croatian. {Britannica}According to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff (“Melania and Me”) and Mary Jordan (“The Art of her Deal”), nobody has ever heard her speak anything but English and Slovenian, except for “Bonjour” and a few such basic expressions. {Imdb}

The Degree

She was embroiled in a controversy regarding her degree in architecture and design from the University of Ljubljana. This alleged false claim was mentioned on her official website. After this was highlighted by the media, it was removed.

Imdb made a larger issue with the claim:

On July 29, 2016, USA Today reported that Melania Trump’s personal website was taken offline. Previously, Melania’s bio-statement stated there that she received a “degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia.” However, a biographer questioned the veracity of that claim by suggesting that Melania never completed her studies. At http://www.archive.org, the WayBack Machine has preserved a 2012 snapshot of Melania’s website, where she printed the now-disputed statement.

The Books

An early attempt to use the first lady platform for public good generated attention for the wrong reasons: In September, Melania sent a package of Dr. Seuss books to one deserving school in each state as part of National Read-a-Book Day. However, the gift was spurned by a Massachusetts elementary school librarian, who decried both the selection of her school and the choice of Dr. Seuss as a “tired and worn ambassador for children’s literature.”

The Unnamed Family Friend Revealing Secrets

The following month, the secretive first lady was profiled in Vanity Fair. According to the article, it was Melania who pushed a waffling Donald into announcing his candidacy for president, knowing that he would regret the missed opportunity if he didn’t. On the flip side, she supposedly never expected to find herself in the White House. “This isn’t something she wanted and it isn’t something he ever thought he’d win,” said one longtime friend of the couple. “She didn’t want this come hell or high water. I don’t think she thought it was going to happen.”

(I cannot believe she “pushed” him into something she didn’t want and never thought he would win.)

Personal Quotes

[on the accusations against her husband] I believe my husband. This was all organized by the opposition. Did they ever check the background of these women? They don’t have any facts. (…) That never happened. [Oct.2016]

My husband is real. He’s raw. He tells it like it is. [Oct.2016]

Don’t feel sorry for me. I can handle everything. [Oct.2016]

[about the attacks on her husband] The opposition doesn’t want to talk about WikiLeaks and the Emails and Benghazi and all the rest of the stuff – they don’t want to talk about it. So, they said: ‘Let’s do something to hurt his campaign’. [Oct.2016]

[defending her husband’s attacks on the Clintons] They’re asking for it. They started it. They started from the beginning of the campaign, putting my pictures from the modeling days [into the newspapers]. That was my modeling days and I’m proud of what I did. I worked very hard. [Oct.2016]

[on the media bias against Donald Trump] When did we hear or read any great stories about my husband – or about me? The true stuff. The facts. The real stuff. We never read the New York Times. They are bashing, bashing, bashing. [Oct.2016]

In my opinion, Melania has only gotten more beautiful as time has passed.  Her look is softer somehow and she is by far the most gorgeous First Lady we’ve ever had.

  1. WOW – thank you for this biography of our favorite First Lady. Boy howdy – she handled every nasty barb, rock and arrow with the utmost grace. In videos, she handles herself with regal grace. She’s also got serious down to earth common sense, her husband says.

    I loved the way she defended Barron like a snarling tigress when some magazine said he was autistic or retarded after his appearance in the middle of Election Night 2020 – she sued the pants off of them – for 2 million bucks – and won! Paid for Barron’s education through graduate school and a European grand tour afterward!

    I love the Japanese American sculpture she chose for the White House grounds. It’s very symbolic of the interrupted Trump Presidency – which we hope is continued in 2024.

    I love her remodel of the Rose Garden.

    I also love her subtle and not – so – subtle messages in her fashion choices.

    I love that she can wear stilettos at her age. I never could walk in very high heels, even when I was young and size 5.

    I imagine her wardrobe has a team of people keeping it up, finding new choices, delivering what she needs – and is housed in a climate controlled secure warehouse, catalogued and computerized on those dry cleaner tracks that they can punch in a number and pull up that red dress or leather leggings and matching shoes, bag… and I can’t imagine how her jewelry is secured… she doesn’t wear nearly the amount of jewelry that the British royals do.

    That’s my Melania blurb. I’ll follow with a few of my favorite Melania dresses.

It’s hard to keep this straight sometimes….GD Ashley was born on 4/26/96 in GA (HB and I were both there – she is preggers now and we are hoping her baby girl might be born close to her Grandpa’s BD in July) and GS Gage was born on 4/24/97 in VA, 2 days short of 1 year between them. Piper was born in 2009 in NE.

    Carlson has told people he doesn’t know why he was terminated. According to the source, Scott refused to tell him how the decision was made; she only said that it was made “from above.” Carlson has told people he believes his controversial show is being taken off the air because the Murdoch children intend to sell Fox News at some point.

  14. new variant causes itchy eyes–same as spring allergies…which is why they are going after benadryl
    FTA
    A new omicron subvariant is spreading in Florida with an odd potential symptom: conjunctivitis.

    Helix, a surveillance company that tracks emerging variants across the nation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, discovered the variant known as XBB.1.16 or arcturus makes up as much as 5% of new COVID cases in Florida. Arcturus appears to be more contagious than other subvariants, and doctors are reporting the strain may be linked to a rise in red itchy eyes.

    Health experts say it’s unlikely conjunctivitis would be the only symptom associated with a COVID-19 infection, and note that allergy season is here, too. However, doctors are reporting that along with cough and cold symptoms associated with COVID, children are coming in with “itchy conjunctivitis with sticky eyes, not seen in earlier waves.”

    Conjunctivitis is a swelling of the thin layer that lines the white part of the eye and can cause discharge, crusting, and cause the whites of the eyes to turn red or pink.

    FTA
    James Lindsay, a political podcaster, said, “The Left believes it owns your kids. Defeat this narrative. Mock it like when this joker said it was time for ‘unity’ (on Democratic Party terms).”

    LifeNews, the pro-life organization, pointedly charged, “So if you have an abortion you just killed my child.”

    Kyle Becker, media commentator, told Fox, “Biden just said that your child is not really your child. Parents, do you agree?”

    “Parents, your children are NOT property of the state. This is not the Soviet Union. You must stand up for Parental Rights!” said Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill.

    Fox explained, “Vice President Kamala Harris faced similar backlash in October after referring to America’s youth as ‘our children’ while speaking with late night talk show host Seth Meyers.”

    “When you see our kids, and I truly believe that they are our children, they are the children of our country, of our communities, I mean, our future is really bright if we, if we prioritize them, and therefore prioritize the climate crisis and the need to address it. If we think about our children, prioritizing the need to bring our country together,” Harris said.

    Anonymous social media commenters were blunt:

    “Oh hell no they are not.”

    “So he can sniff them.”

    “So he can shower with them,” said another, suggesting substance to reports that Biden’s daughter’s diary includes a notation about her probably “inappropriate” showers with her father as a child.

  17. “Fox News Did Not Want to Get Rid of Tucker Carlson, But ‘Blindsided’ Him After Network Informed of More Lawsuits Coming –“It just happened. And that’s the nature of television news, the most wicked industry in the United States of America.”
    KYLE BECKER
    APR 25, 2023
    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Fox News host Tucker Carlson was reportedly “blindsided” when he received a call from CEO Suzanne Scott on Monday morning, informing him that he had been fired from the network, according to sources. Tucker Carlson, who was in the midst of negotiating a new contract, had recently been in talks to renew his contract through 2029, according to a Vanity Fair report.

    The news came just days after Fox News settled a $787 million defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over disputed claims made by Carlson and others at the network about the 2020 presidential election. Insiders revealed that the order for Carlson’s termination is believed to have come directly from Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who owns Fox News.

    On Monday night, his “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show was awkwardly replaced with “Fox News Tonight” hosted by Brian Kilmeade, who brushed over Carlson’s sudden departure. “As you probably have heard, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” he said. “I wish Tucker the best. I’m great friends with Tucker and always will be. But right now, it’s time for ‘Fox News Tonight,’ so let’s get started.”

    Bill O’Reilly, who preceded Tucker Carlson in the coveted primetime 8 p.m. slot, believed that Carlson’s termination came amidst more potential lawsuits related to the 2020 election, as well as an ongoing lawsuit filed by former Fox News booker Abby Grossberg.

    “Because the pending litigation was harpooned this morning,” O’Reilly told Chris Cuomo of NewsNation. “Carlson didn’t know.” “It just happened,” he went on. “And that’s the nature of television news, the most wicked industry in the United States of America.”

    O’Reilly predicted that Fox News would take a big hit in the ratings following Tucker Carlson’s departure. “Tucker Carlson took over from me. For the first three years his ratings were soft. He lost about a million, maybe a little bit more of my audience, and then in 2020 he took a hard right turn,” O’Reilly said. “Carlson basically programmed for a very hard right audience and his numbers came up.”

    As the Daily Beast reported on Monday night, the Fox News bloodletting came at the behest of the Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott. “In Carlson’s case, it was Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott who made the call on Friday night to can him and his show, Confider has learned, thanks largely (and surprisingly) in part to vulgar comments he made about Sidney Powell, the right-wing lawyer behind many of the bonkers 2020 election lies pushed on Fox’s airwaves,” the report said.

    “Tucker was already pissing off Fox management between his conspiracy-laden coverage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, including the repeated and baseless targeting of Trump supporter Ray Epps as being an FBI agent who instigated the insurrection; a looming lawsuit from his former producer Abby Grossberg alleging a sexist work environment; and his disparaging remarks about Fox brass in documents made public,” the report added.

    Fox News letting go of Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino, as two of the strongest conservative voices on Fox News, surely signals a pivot away from the pro-Trump base, as board member Paul Ryan advocated in a newly leaked court document. It bears watching if Fox News cuts ties with more pro-Trump voices ahead of its 2024 election coverage.”

  20. EXCERPT: “On April 19, 2023, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced his candidacy for Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Kennedy said after taking the stage: “My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign, and throughout my presidency, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism on our country.”

    To begin to understand this Covid Trojan Horse, Kennedy’s speech in Berlin, on August 29, 2020 to over one million people becomes a critical starting point. “ I must say one more thing … they have not done a very good job about protecting public health but they have done a very good job of using the quarantine to bring 5G into all of our communities and beginning the process of a digital currency which is the beginning of slavery …“ ” The pandemic is a crisis of convenience for the elites who are dictating these policies.”

    Robert Kennedy Jr. gave an important clue to the world in Berlin, linking the unprecedented rollout of 5G with the so called Covid Pandemic agenda. The pretext of a pandemic has enabled a technology (5G) with no safety studies to be put into place around the world. 5G along with the nanotechnology now being discovered within the vaxx bioweapon becomes the foundational step for a transhuman agenda.

    Bill Gate’s (Microsoft) Patent WO 060606 that was issued in March of 2020 delineates the madness of what Kennedy alluded to when he talked about, “the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism on our country”.

    It is difficult to say when this transhuman agenda to control humanity began in earnest. The beginning of mind control experiments through programs such as MK Ultra that took place in the United States and Canada from the 1940s to the 1960s could indeed be a starting point. MK Ultra and other programs led to the use of what has been termed synthetic telepathy – using technology to monitor the thoughts of individuals, as well as, transmit messaging to the minds of its victims. For a select group of people who have reported hearing voices, they were unwitting test subjects.

    The technological advancements as revealed by Dennis M Bushnell of NASA and all the nefarious agendas that were moved forward after 9/11 beginning with the Patriot Act to strip away the rights and liberties of We The People will be my starting point. In July of 2001, a very important document was presented by Dennis M Bushnell of NASA: “Future Strategic Issues/Future Warfare [Circa 2025]” Bushnell coined the term: “The IT/BIO/NANO ERA”

    Dennis M. Bushnell, “Future Strategic Issues/Future Warfare [Circa 2025]” (sic), NASA Langley Research Center (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), July 2001, 113 pp.; PDF, 1400357 bytes, MD5: c833f3fbc55d07fe891f5f4df5fb2f57. The aforesaid PDF was found on the US Department of Defense’s Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) website, as archived by the following Internet Archive URL.

    Remember, July of 2001 was only two months ahead of 9/11. On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3 trillion worth of transactions. On September 11, 2001 not only did the two World Trade Towers come down but there was a third building: WTC Building 7. At one point over 50% of Americans did not know there was a third building that came down on 9/11.”

    “One of the most informative and honest interviews that I have recently viewed that may help you to begin to piece this deception together is with Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD interviewing Dr. David Hughes, PhD. This interview will also help to validate the remarkable insights of Robert Kennedy Jr. when he linked 5G with the Covid Pandemic in Berlin, in August of 2020.”

      The criminal charge laid by Pascal Najadi of Switzerland against the Swiss President, Alain Berset as well as, the first Litigation against Pfizer Inc. NY by Ana McCarthy and Pascal Najadi in the New York State Supreme Court is a case in point.

      Having someone like Robert Kennedy Jr. who is willing and brave enough to speak of the various so called Covid Vaccines in terms of Bioweapons and crimes against humanity and is running for candidacy for Democratic nomination for President of the United States has just become a game changer.

      The Covid Trojan Horse has tried to keep us away from the evil that is behind a transhuman agenda. An agenda that wants to reduce world population by any means and control our minds and souls. “A fusion of our physical, our biological and our digital identities”, as stated by Klaus Schwab.

      This is the time for revelation and acceleration of our collective response to the darkness that has been foisted on humanity. Darkness always gives way to light and the God Spark that is within each of us can never be extinguished.”

  25. EXCERPT: “Let’s do a little regime change, one red state at a time. Did you happen to notice that what should have been an obvious moral victory for the Right a few weeks ago—when a transgender lunatic in Tennessee murdered six Christians—became instead, a civil rights triumph for the far Left?

    Instead of seeing headlines afterwards like “Left-wing terror targets innocent people for their religious beliefs during an apparent left-wing hate crime,” we got headlines about the racist Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black state representatives.

    Somehow a wanton slaughter of Christian children was miraculously transfigured into a “we shall overcome” second coming of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X, in the comical figure of Representative Justin Pearson. What should have been a huge blow to the left, a total PR disaster, a massacre at the hand of one of their own, became instead a win. The narrative was written and signed off before the slow-moving Right even had a chance to get its act together.

    Murderess Audrey Hale, many suggest, had likely been incited to terror by the “Transgender Day of Vengeance” that radical activists were planning in the wake of Tennessee’s new popular law banning pediatric penis removal surgery.

    In response, Pearson and others incited an insurrection around gun control in the state assembly, effectively shutting it down, and were then thrown out for breaking the rules. Terrified, the assembly then let them back in after it became, somehow, inexplicably, a civil rights issue around “white supremacy,” as Pearson declared.

    Congratulations, Tennessee: you have been color revolutioned! Never let a crisis go to waste!

    Color Me Yours — Color revolutions have finally come to the United States, courtesy of our leaders. The target is clear: weak red state governments which are going to be toppled, one by one.”

    Editor’s Note: All aspects of this story are being reported based on corroboration done by other journalists. For example, Dom Lucre claims to have seen Tiffany Epps’ personal credentials, including adoption paperwork. We have no reason to doubt anything told in the Twitter Spaces interview below, but we have not independently verified it.

    Tiffany Epps, the adopted daughter of Ray Epps, claims he began sexually molesting her when she was 14-years-old. She claims he was abusive in other ways as well. The details she paints of the January 6 provocateur’s life include strange incidents, such as the time when “Sgt James Ray Epps” was arrested in Mexico.

    Here is the Twitter Spaces that had several asking questions, including Lucre and #WalkawayMovement founder Brandon Straka. Tiffany Epps comes on around the 25-minute mark:

    “NPR – The Texas Department of Agriculture is ordering its employees to comply with a new dress code, mandating they abide by it in a “manner consistent with their biological gender.” An ACLU attorney says it violates federal law that bans employment discrimination based on one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

    In a copy of the April 13 memo first obtained by The Texas Observer, the new dress code — handed down by Sid Miller, the state’s agriculture commissioner — is required by all employees as a part of a “dress code and grooming policy.” “Employees are expected to comply with this dress code in a manner consistent with their biological gender,” the new policy said.”

    Carlson’s criticism of Biden-era personnel policies appealed to many of the rank-and-file, which has a large bloc of conservative members. But at the upper levels of the Defense Department, news of Carlson’s firing from Fox News on Monday was met with delight and outright glee in some corners.

    “We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” said one senior DoD official, who like others interviewed for this story was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive topic. “Good riddance,” said a second DoD official.

    Asked to respond to the news that DoD officials are pleased by his departure from Fox, Carlson responded by text message: “Ha! I’m sure.” He declined to comment further.”

    1. “When I look back and wonder how this happened, a few pivotal events seem to have transformed the media into a cheerleader for the pharmaceutical industry (all of which are discussed further here).

      The first was that in 1997, Clinton legalized direct pharmaceutical advertising to consumers. There are a lot of issues with this practice (the USA and New Zealand are essentially the only countries that allow it), and one effect it had was putting financial pressure on networks not to air stories critical of pharmaceuticals once they had become dependent on their advertising revenue.

      The second, discovered by investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, was that in 2016, Barack Obama gave a speech at the private research university Carnegie Mellon where he argued that the internet had become too much of a Wild West and that some curating function (no one was asking for) would need to be created to protect the public from things online that were not the truth.

      A massive push against “disinformation” followed this, and it rapidly became much more challenging to get accurate or unbiased information off internet platforms (e.g., Google) where it had previously been very easy to. Similarly, this also marked Peter Hotez going on a public speaking tour. In that tour, he argued that anyone questioning vaccination was a danger to society and must be censored to save lives (since creating any doubt about the 100% safety and efficacy of vaccines is an unacceptable “public health” risk). I mention Hotez’s tour because while much of what he absurd to the point of being comical, it helped create the framework for the deadly censorship we witnessed from all of Big Tech during COVID-19.

      Looking back on the events, I now believe that Bill Gates and the pharmaceutical companies constructed a long-term business plan that followed four steps:

      1. Create a merger with Big Tech so their interests would be aligned in pushing pharmaceuticals on the population.

      2. With Obama’s help, buy out the Democratic party (which was already bought out by Big Tech) so they would be fully committed to pushing the vaccine agenda.

      3. Use the Democratic party to push through childhood vaccination mandates nationwide at a state level.

      4. Use the previous two to push through adult vaccination mandates once a suitable “emergency” could be found to do it.

      Not surprisingly, the mainstream media was completely complicit in this as well.”

    3. “This monopolization of the media is why we frequently hear the same message simultaneously disseminated on almost every news network (including the local “independent” ones). Thanks to the herd mentality instinct, this thus makes the lie of the day rapidly become a widely held belief throughout America, and it is honestly depressing to see the frequency at which the public is successfully tricked into believing each of them.

      Note: one of the best examples I have seen of the simultaneous dissemination of a message across local media outlets can be found within this montage. It is not by any means the only example; it is just the only case I know of where someone put one together.”

    For the record:

    For seven (7) years “The American Criminal Triad: slick / w / o-bummer“ could accomplish all of their pre-coup, coup and post coup illegalities with loyal, co-conspirator surrogates — their “leave behinds” in every branch of the administrative, swamp state: executive, congressional and judicial.

    Leaving no trace of their own involvement in the treasonous coup.

    So, why did they, this week, break their cover and make the following announcement:

    “A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American Express Global Business Travel to fly migrants into the United States. The NGO, called Welcome.US.”

    They make this sound like this is a new deal when they have been involved in doing the same type of thing for the past 2 years.

    So why did they feel the need to go public this week?

    Because, they are trying to get out in front of the exposé that “they are behind the coup, against America and President Trump. They have planned it since 2015 and executed it in 2021.

    That coup is collapsing.

    Look at the facts.

    They have lost the House ……. their law-making machine has ground to a halt…… biden’s EOs are a weak substitute.

    The have lost their primary propaganda organ, tweeeeetyyy bird. The others that they fund … facebook, google, etc. have been unable to take up the slack.

    Their DeXX primary ploy to take on President Trump has been a disaster.

    Their covid hoax has petered out, years ahead of schedule.

    Events have forced them to come clean and try to muscle their way through the repercussions with the help of their media co-conspirators and their “leave behinds” who are still in control of much of dc.

    It is what communists do…… when they start to lose, they just quit and wait for another time

    “Let’s go Brandon the democrats and the GOPe, especially DeXX’s gang!”

  47. ultra maggot lies again…and there’s silence. (he was speaking to some union conference)

    “And, by the way, when you do [build the EV charging stations] — think about it this way, my grand-pop who I never met, he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born, and my grand-pop was, as they say in Maryland was from Balmore,” Biden began his story.

    However, as the Media Research Center pointed out, Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania, while his grandfather died on September 26, 1941 at John Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland.
