Trump, the chairman of Trump Media and Technology Group, was one of six board members removed on June 8, state business records show.
Among the board members removed were Kashyap Patel, Trump’s former point man in the White House; Scott Glabe, a former assistant to Trump who was counsel for the media company; and Donald Trump, Jr.
The SEC served Trump Media and Technology Group with a subpoena on June 27, according to a regulatory filing

Biden Sold a Million Barrels From US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China-Owned Gas Giant
The Biden administration sold roughly one million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-controlled gas giant that continues to purchase Russian oil, a move the Energy Department said would “support American consumers” and combat “Putin’s price hike.”
Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government. The Biden administration claimed the move would “address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump” and “help lower energy costs.” More than five million barrels of oil released from the U.S. emergency reserves, however, were sent overseas last month, according to a Wednesday Reuters report. At least one shipment of American crude went to China, the report said.
The Biden administration also claimed the Unipec sale would “support American consumers and the global economy in response to Vladimir Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine” and combat “Putin’s price hike.” But as the war rages on, Unipec has continued to purchase Russian oil. In May, for example, the company “significantly increased the number of hired tankers to ship a key crude from eastern Russia,” Bloomberg reported. That decision came roughly one month after Unipec said it would purchase “no more Russian oil going forward” once “shipments that have arrived in March and due to arrive in April” were fulfilled.

Navy commander who misled families into drinking poisoned water given award upon retirement
https://taskandpurpose.com/news/navy-pearl-harbor-toxic-water-commander/
The Navy commander of a joint military base in Hawaii where thousands were poisoned by water contaminated during a massive fuel leak was recently awarded the Legion of Merit upon retirement.
Capt. Erik Spitzer, formerly the commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, was relieved of command on June 14 by Capt. Mark Sohaney, according to photos released by the Navy. Spitzer was criticized in the midst of the water crisis for providing conflicting guidance that residents’ water was safe in the days after the fuel leak. But during the change of command ceremony, Spitzer was awarded the Legion of Merit Award, which is awarded to service members “for exceptionally outstanding conduct in the performance of meritorious service to the United States.” His award citation praised his response to the leak at the Red Hill fuel storage facility and says his role led to the “expeditious restoration of clean water.”
Exclusive: Army Training Says Soldiers Must Shower with Transgender Persons of Opposite Sex
An Army training slide obtained by Breitbart News instructs soldiers to shower with transgender members of the opposite sex even if they have not undergone a surgical transition.
The training slide offers a “vignette” instructing soldiers on what to do if they encounter a female soldier who identifies as male according to the Department of Defense’s personnel tracking system known as Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), but has not surgically transitioned and still has “female genitalia.”
The slide, titled “Soldier/Unit Training Barracks, Bathrooms, and Showers,” reads:
Vignette: Following his transition from female to male (which did not include sex reassignment surgery) and gender marker change in DEERS, a transgender Soldier begins using male barracks, bathroom, and shower facilities. Because he did not undergo a surgical change, the Soldier still has female genitalia.
The slide instructs soldiers: “Soldiers must accept living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive, and characterized by little or no privacy. … Understand anyone may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex despite having the same gender marker in DEERS.”
It also tells soldiers that they should be “respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others,” but that “transgender Soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not ‘match’ other Soldiers.”
The training slides warn soldiers that violations of Equal Opportunity (EO) policies may result in disciplinary actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and that EO policies “apply to working, living, and recreational environment (on and off-post, during duty and non-duty hours).”

Treasury faces mounting scrutiny for giving Hunter Biden ‘cover’ with new rule for document requests
The Treasury’s new rule severely affects how Congress conducts its oversight on sensitive financial records
“The Biden Administration changed the rules to severely restrict Congress’ access to suspicious activity reports in the dark of night and with no explanation,” Comer told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “We now know Hunter Biden and other Biden family members have racked up at least 150 suspicious activity reports for their shady foreign business deals.”
“The Treasury Department’s sudden change of longstanding policy appears to be a broader pattern by the Biden Administration to run cover for Hunter Biden and possibly hide information about whether Joe Biden benefited financially from the Biden family’s business transactions,” he continued. “The American people deserve answers and the Biden Administration must comply with congressional oversight.”
Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, a member of the House Oversight Committee, called the agency’s stance “unacceptable” and said the Biden administration has been denying Comer’s SARs requests for the younger Biden for “weeks.”
“It’s simple – Hunter Biden is a threat to our national security and Americans deserve to know if his business transactions put our country’s well-being at risk,” Fallon said

re: Dutch farmers. I am not disputing that there may be a local pollution issue w/ammonia, nitrogen. Because it’s beside the point.
The point is THE REMEDY. Did you see my post upthread that farmers in Poland and Italy are also protesting? It’s the EU that is telling the nat’l gov’ts to do this. The tech to mediate these gases is extant and does not involve 30% of the farmers’ land being confiscated by the gov’t to be used however the gov’t sees fit – according to one report to hand it over to asylum seekers, which I also posted.
eaglesoars wrote:
With respect you have fallen for this ” New World Order ” bullshit and your post proves it.
Firstly the EU is not telling the Dutch government what to do. The designated wildlife conservation areas are defined by and agreed to by the member states of the EU. This is a work in progress that started in 1979
The tech to reduce ammonia emissions does exist if you read the 2004 Iowa State Uni paper I linked to on the last thread and the Dutch governbent is prepared to spend $25 BILLION over the next 8 years to do this.
As to land being confiscated by the government, have you any idea at all how much land, say, a 2000 head hog farm takes up? About a tenth of the area of a small walmart parking lot. It is called intensive farming for a reason.
You also fell for the give the land to asylum seekers myth. Firstly there are NO asylum seekers in that part of Europe. Asylum can be sought in the first ” safe” country or embassy you get to when you escape a country due to persecutions for religious, racial etc reasons.
Geography tells me any asylum seekers that arrive in Holland passed through some very safe and nice countries on their escape from hell.
And so we circle back to the government destroying a pig farm the size of a small parking lot and giving the land to economic migrants. What will they do with that land?
The Netherlands exports 85% of its agriculture produce. Second largest exporter of ag products in the world.
The Netherlands does not have enough land to grow all the feed crops the pig and cattle and dairy industry consumes so they import it. Much from South America. Soy and sunflower.
So we have a situation where animal feed and specifically raw proteins are being imported into an area and proteins in the form of meat and dairy products are exported.
Good so far? However not all the raw feed protein is converted to meat so you have an excess of excreted animal waste protein breakdown products that ends up as a pollutant. Basically the Dutch have too much pig shit and pig piss. Not enough land to spread it on.
Not a very good example but why is there such a big air pollution problem in Los Angeles but not in Texas? More cars in Texas than LA but it is the car DENSITY that is the issue.

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2022/07/08/abe-shinzo-spent-his-last-days-advocating-defending-taiwan-belligerent-china/
mmmmhmmmm……
…Abe was the longtime leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has for years advocated for Japan to elevate its status as a defense power, including potentially establishing a proper military. Japan does not have armed forces – only “Self-Defense Forces” in light of its post-World War II constitution.
As part of his advocacy for Japan to elevate itself as a defense heavyweight, Abe had grown increasingly vocal in insisting that China invading neighboring Taiwan, a sovereign country that China insists falsely is a rogue province under Beijing, would be an “emergency” for Japan.
Under communist dictator Xi Jinping, China has grown increasingly belligerent on the issue of Taiwan, repeatedly threatening an invasion. Xi himself promised in a 2019 speech that anyone supporting Taiwan as a sovereign state would have their “bones ground to powder.”
Abe first appeared to return to political prominence in 2021 after some time in private life following his resignation. Reports in November indicated the former prime minister was planning to visit Taiwan to show support in person.
A month later, Abe publicly affirmed, “a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency,” a mantra he would repeat often for what ended up being the rest of his life. The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded by promising a bloodbath.
“Anyone who dares to return to the old path of militarism and defy the limits of the Chinese people will face a bloodbath,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin warned in December….

Last spring, Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa put a ban on agrochemicals. His goal was an ambitious one: to transform Sri Lanka into the first nation with 100-percent organic agriculture. Less than a year later, the country is left in an economic and supply shortage crisis as a result.

That’s why the fascination by the left with Venezuela when it was being taken over by the communists. The approach has been modified from putting cronies in charge of the oil fields to putting cronies on the boards of directors of major corporations. Result is the same as desired by the NWO, but less visible.

Well in conclusion to my ramblings LA county would be a great place to live and there would not be a smog problem if either LA was on the top of a hill or because it is in a basin then less people lived there.
Going back to the Netherlands topic for the last time.
Most places on the planet excess Nitrogen application to the soil is a problem but as we discussed months ago fertiliser is expensive. So no farmers deliberately add excess Nitrogen to the ecosystem.
The excess Nitrogen fertiliser runs off the land, into streams and rivers where it causes problems by stimulating alga growth which depletes oxygen in the water and kills fish but that water rushes down rivers, over waterfalls and ends up in the ocean. Where it continues to damage the ecosystem but it is diluted and eventually planet Earth sorts the problem out.
Planet Earth cleaned up the BP oil spill in the Gulf eventually.
The Netherlands = LA basin
No rivers, no waterfalls, no water rushing to the sea. What nitrogen compounds that are in excess to what plants use stays there.
Unless we move Holland to the top of a hill….

“I was told Hunter had sexual relationships with a lot of people in the so-called “elite” and families are ashamed,’ said the anonymous individual, adding that these “elite” want to “prevent the humiliation because he fucked half the kids, sisters and wives in the small ‘elite’ circles,”
The data is alleged to have come from an iPhone backup drive that contained everything from deleted phone calls and text messages, to web-search history including pornography habits.
The data released on 4Chan alleges Hunter Biden searched for porn videos of himself on popular pornography websites, with search terms including “Hunter Biden Fucking a Hooker.”
The alleged documents also show text messages claiming there are “more weapons in your son’s room than in an armory,”
The 4Chan info dump is currently ongoing and can be followed here. We will continue to provide any updates if important information is to be revealed.

Santa Monica Pier was OK during the day but not so much after dark.
New Years eve was a hoot when the Angelanos all came out and fired their guns into the air at midnight. It sounded like WWIII.
Once a crew decided to head to the Tool Warehouse the morning after a VERY long flight. There were 3 carloads of us and we immediately noticed that for some reason the streets were EMPTY. Arriving at the massive parking lot at the Tool warehouse we were met by some ‘black & whites’ lights flashing. The cops asked us what in the hell we were doing. WE told them that we’d just got into LAX the previous night and intended to buy tools. They told to ‘get the hell outta Dodge’ because there were riots and burnings going on throughout LA.

Brandon would fail the most basic security clearance investigation based upon this unless that information was publicly released and explained such that it was not usable as blackmail. Given that our government is working to cover this up, that shows that this was not disclosed fully and therefore usable by those who want to influence decisions and policies.

1583. Galileo made the first discovery of modern physics. While attending a service at the Cathedral of Pisa on a stormy day, Galileo’s attention wandered away from the sermon. His eyes followed the chandelier swaying in the wind overhead. Galileo timed the rhythm of the chandelier against his pulse.

“Significant food system change is needed to address food security and climate challenges, but it risks decimating farm incomes. Policy analyst Anne Finnegan examines a new OECD FAO report.”
But no fat people!
I picked it up from Conservative Tree House

Polls are still saying Biden can beat Trump in an election. That says something odd or unhealthy.

I saw a story about Biden leaving for the Middle East. It appeared he entered the plane via the cargo bay? I thought maybe they didn’t need more photos of him falling up the stairs. But I was really sleepy and thought I’d leave it for morning.

@ eaglesoars:
Trump and Russia’s fault.
Inflation rose 9.1 % for the 12 months ending June, the largest 12-month gain since November 1981.
The energy index rose 41.6% over the last year, the largest 12-month gain since April 1980.
Food inflation saw the largest 12-month gain at 10.4% since February 1981.

I think if you use the previous calculation for inflation, it would be more like 18%. I’m guessing. Using the numbers from individual categories, most of which are seriously higher than 9%, I’m thinking the avg is more like 18%
Bill Kristol lives down to expectations. Again. He put this out at 8am
Straightforward from here:
1. Biden announces not running again.
2. 2022 focus turns to R extremism, Ds do well in Nov.
3. Inflation subsides, Ukraine defeats Russia, Biden is successful 1-term president.
4. Younger moderate D defeats Trump or Trumpist in ’24.

The first thing to understand about ‘food security’ is the psychology. If people don’t feel they have it, you end up with either Sri Lanka or if the populace is dispersed enough, the starvation under Mao. If you look at Mao and the Nazi ghettoes a lot of it is timing. By the time the ghettoes were emptied and put on trains, the people were already nutritionally weakened to the point they couldn’t fight. And that’s why they were starved while in the camps. No rebellions. Weaponize the food, no worries about the guns/ammo/2nd amendment bullshit. Why do you think Bill Gates is buying up farmland? Why do you think the WEF included food/nutrition in that video back in 2018 (I think)? Why do you think the WEF just offered to buy any land the Dutch gov’t confiscates?
Some people understand this and are preparing as best we can. Others, not so much. Those of us who do put ‘food security’ at the top of the list of metrics we use to measure if our world is ok. (it isn’t, in case you were wondering)
Historically, famine has been weather-induced, which is why intelligent gov’ts built back up supplies. Even Cleopatra, I believe. But today, I can’t think of a famine that didn’t have gov’t malfeasance as its source. Yes, even Ethiopia. Maybe ESPECIALLY Ethiopia.

When I started studying history, beginning with WW II, I found I was consistently drawn away from the actual battles/strategy/tactics prism, to look more closely at what I came to understand to be the real fundamental.

I knew this was going to happen. NY is going to stop issuing concealed carry permits entirely on 9/1/22, because that’s the date when the new requirements go into effect–which nobody can meet.
They set a date of 4/1/23 for the required training course and qualification standards to be implemented. Then, sometime after that date, people can begin taking the class so they can submit new applications.
oh, yeah, Germany is fucked. That Nordstream pipeline shut down for ‘maintenance’? Well, not quite.

Harriet Hageman is impressive – to me anyway – and Liz is supremely unlikeable. I don’t see how she buys her way out of this.
Hageman was a virulent anti-Trumper in an earlier incarnation. So she’s just a standard politician who saw the light. She’s not an ideologue, she’s an opportunist. But she seems to understand the concerns of Wyoming and -oddly enough – doesn’t live in Mclean Virginia and isn’t married to a lawyer whose firm has CCP ties.

As for the house we’re in now – it shows about a 60K difference in a timelapse of about 2 yrs
That’s not what realtor.com or zillow show – that’s about 90K
