    Different eye colour. Different ears. Those are the obvious differences.

    This kind of conspiracy theory discussion is a distraction. It is from an old playbook.

    Believe what you saw with your own eyes ... a man wrestled to the ground when he went to assist a woman who was knocked to the ground, disarmed, and then shot repeatedly in the back, in front of a crowd.

    Question when an adorable young girl stands up in front of a group of lawmakers and tells a tearful story of babies pulled from incubators, etc., with no evidence to back up her story whatsoever. Or when an Israeli tells stories about babies baked in ovens, hung on washing lines, etc. when the facts released by the country itself show that only one infant was killed that day, in cross fire.

    See Tintin' s above post confirming duplicity
    I absolutely do believe what I see with my eyes. Isaw a staged production, with bad actors.
    The majority of these emotive news events are manufactured, you are being played.
    Just my opinion of course .

    Drop Site

    🚨 The Trump administration has moved to push through more than $6 billion in new arms sales to Israel by bypassing long-standing congressional oversight, and notifying Congress only an hour beforehand.

    A statement from House Dems. Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member
    @RepGregoryMeeks
    states the administration is repeatedly ignoring Congress’ constitutional role, refusing to brief lawmakers on Gaza policy, and failing to justify bypassing the congressional review process. It also criticizes Secretary of State Marco Rubio for providing no documentation for the move.

    "Everyone's in a state of despair right now, wondering if the UN is dead or dying, says Prof Jeffrey Sachs. But everyone wants the rule of law, other than the world's biggest bully, the United States"

    Do we need a United Nations for our survival?


    Professor Jeffrey Sachs: "We need the UN... Everyone wants the rule of law... except the biggest bully US"

    Personal note: To "bully US" I would add Israel. Or perhaps it should be renamed 'the United States of Israel' to reflect reality.

    There's enormous tension right now around the world about an impending attack by Trump's "beautiful" naval fleet against Iran. I'm a bit surprised the US-Israel military haven't attacked yet. Perhaps they are simply trying hard to provoke Iran to do the first missile launch (given the circumstances, Iran would be justified to do so under international law, which the US ignores), so that the US can claim they're only 'responding' to Iran initiating the attack.

    Another possibility is that the USA naval fleet is planning to sit there long-term in order to terminally strangle Iran's economy. That could be played both ways though. How much does it cost USA to position this large naval force in the middle east, plus a multitude of military bases. I'm guessing a billion dollars a day, but that's my uneducated guess.

    Does anyone have a good estimate of the daily cost of the USA military posturing against Iran?

    Maybe bankrupting the USA with a military attack against Iran is worth it for Trump, who needs to deflect public attention from the Epstein files, domestic riots, and the examination of the Trump administration/zionist involvement in Charlie Kirk's assassination.

    Trump vs. Wall Street: The "Republican New Deal" Begins



    Promethean Updates
    Feb 1, 2026
    Summary:
    00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - Trump vs. Wall Street: The "Republican New Deal" Begins - January 31, 2026
    01:39 Regime Change at the Fed
    05:00 Why They Assassinated the American System
    08:20 The Receipts: $18 Trillion on Main Street

    In this episode, Susan Kokinda discusses the implications of Kevin Warsh's nomination as the Fed chair by President Trump. This move marks the beginning of a Republican New Deal aimed at supporting Main Street over Wall Street.

    Highlighting Ambassador Jamieson Greer's impactful speech at Davos, she outlines the return to the American System rooted in Alexander Hamilton's economic principles and the shift away from the Globalist model.

    The episode dives into the historical context, comparing Trump’s strategy to past American leaders who championed similar economic reforms and were targeted by the British Empire.

    During his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to cut down the cost of new housing by up to 50%.

    But in 2026, it's a different story: "I want to drive the housing prices up for people that own their homes." says Trump.

    Trump: We're Going To Drive Home Prices Up, Not Down!

    Trump: We're Going To Drive Home Prices Up, Not Down!
    The entire purpose of this video is to provide a false and misleading image of Trump. This is really why it is so awful to allow talking heads to tell us what other people mean when they speak. I can (occasionally) understand it for some complicated geopolitical information, but does anyone really need an interpreter for Trump?

    Right from the start, she tells us something that isn't true; she immediately plays a video clip of Trump proving my point. Then she has the audacity to claim he said something different.

    She claimed "Trump was going to reduce the cost of homes by 30 percent," while

    Trump said "my objective will be to lower the cost of building homes by 30 to 50 percent and much of it is regulation." (implying that removing regulation would remove costs)

    Words are important, and when someone who makes their living with words consistently gets it wrong, it either indicates a lack of knowledge about the topic or suggests a bias, dishonesty, or a desire to manipulate information to serve their agenda. It's fairly clear where this woman is coming from.

    I could go on critiquing the rest of the video, but it probably won't make much of a difference. You have bought into the I hate Trump culture lock, stock, and barrel, and it is doubtful that anything will change your mind.

    Trump has done more in one year to help home buyers than any president in history.

    Trump signs executive order to ban Wall St. investors from buying single-family homes - New York Times
    Housing on Federal Land Aims to Ease Affordability Crisis - New York Times
    Trump enveils new home buying plan - BBC
    Rental market starts to see the Effects [lowering of prices] of Trumps Immigrations Crackdown - Newsweek
    Trump's first time home buy program - Refiguide
    Trump pauses 50 year mortgage plan, drafts 401K down payments to help buyers - housingwire
    Blue collar wage growth under Trump sees largest growth in 60 years -AOL

    There are even more examples of Trump's efforts to lower cost, cut regulation, help first-time home buys but I don't have the time nor the inclination to pull all the info out for you.

    If spreading falsehoods about Trump were a sport, you would be on the podium.

    President Trump looking fabulous in a tuxedo speaks with reporters on Air Force One after attending the Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington, D.C. on January 31, 2026.

    Reports are he talked with the Bushes, Jeb and George W. You can imagine being a fly on the wall at that event.

    President Trump and President Bush will meet tonight at the Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington D.C.

    This comes 24 hours after both of them appeared in the Epstein files as blackmailed murderers and pedophiles working for Israel to devastate the Middle East.

    Tonight is the meeting of the
    Alfalfa Club, whose sole purpose is to hold a dinner in January. George W Bush will sit with President Trump. Carlyle’s David Rubenstein is president.

    It’s a century old club founded to commemorate Robert Lee’s birthday. Obama went twice.

    In response to post #2007 above by rgray 222:

    Maybe you own your own home? In that case I'm sure that what Trump is saying would be agreeable to you. But it sure is NOT to many, many others. There are plenty of online commentaries from american citizens stating they can't afford life in the USA anymore, one year into Trump's presidency. The prospect of 50 years mortgages isn't relief.

    As we write these words, Trump has once again sent american military personnel in harms way in an armada near Iran for absolutely no good reason, other than he's just obeying Netanyahu's orders, and at the cost of billions of dollars, sending the money printing machines in overdrive, which is exactly the sort of stuff that has inflated the cost of everything in the USA. And which creates a high risk of super inflated cost of everything worldwide if Iran decides to close the straight of Hormuz for Iran's security against their USA aggressor, which Iran can't be blamed for, really.

    Trump is doing the exact opposite of what he promised during his 2024 campaign.

    So, Trump has withdrawn funding for the UN? But the USA remains on the UN Security Council, where they veto all motions that propose to help Gaza/Palestine?
    Such hypocrisy.!
    The USA's complicity in Israel's genocide of Gaza should result in the USA expulsion from the UN Security Council. And Israel should be kicked out of the UN General Assembly.

    David Icke, and others, speak about these 'beings' as some external entities that control the elite. Personally, I think the evil is within and activated by choice by the individual, and these people group together because like attracts like.

    President Donald Trump speaks from the White House — 2/2/2026
    CNBC Television - 10 hours ago


    Trump announces creation of critical mineral reserve


    "Today, we're launching what will be known as Project Vault to ensure that American businesses and workers are never harmed by any shortage," Trump said at the White House.

    The initiative will combine $10 billion in EXIM bank financing and $2 billion from the private sector, Trump said.
    U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said that 11 additional countries will be announced for the critical minerals trade club this week.

    People are saying that Thomas Massie became a Liberal because his new wife, blessed be their marriage, is supposedly a Radical Left “flamethrower.” This new union all went so fast that maybe he didn’t know what he was getting into but, nevertheless, he is an absolutely terrible and unreliable “Republican” — Perhaps a RINO, or maybe even worse! Ed Gallrein, a Farmer and War Hero, is running against Massie. He is a HIGH QUALITY individual, and there is no Candidate for Congress that could be better. He is running because he realizes Thomas Massie has been totally disloyal to the President of the United States, and the Republican Party. He never votes for us, he always goes with the Democrats. Thomas Massie is a Complete and Total Disaster, we must make sure he loses, BIG!

    Trump's twisted notion of 'democracy', as per the continued interference in the middle east:

    US threatening Iraq over who runs the country
    The White House has reportedly signaled cuts to Iraq’s oil-export revenues if former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki returns to power


    The US has warned Iraq of possible economic repercussions if former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki returns to power, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

    Last month, Iraq’s Shiite bloc in parliament nominated the 75-year-old al-Maliki, whom Washington views as too close to Iran, for a third term, likely securing his return once a new president is elected. Al-Maliki served two consecutive terms as prime minister from 2006 to 2014 – the first leader to do so since the 2003 US-led invasion – and previously held other cabinet posts.

    The White House has stepped up pressure on Baghdad in recent days, people familiar with the matter told the outlet, and warned that al-Maliki’s return could prompt financial measures, including limits on oil-export revenues.

    The leverage dates back to the aftermath of the catastrophic US invasion of Iraq, which placed Iraq’s oil proceeds under US oversight and effectively gave Washington supervision over 90% of the country’s budget. Exports are deposited in an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the name of Iraq’s Finance Ministry and managed by the central bank, funding salaries, pensions, and government spending.

    US President Donald Trump has warned that Washington would “no longer help Iraq” if al-Maliki returned to office, accusing him of pursuing “insane policies and ideologies.” Iran has reportedly urged its Iraqi political allies to resist US pressure.

    Al-Maliki has denounced what he called Washington’s “blatant interference,” insisting that the choice of prime minister is a sovereign matter.

    Under Iraq’s power-sharing system, the premiership is reserved for a Shiite politician, while the presidency and parliamentary speaker posts go to a Kurd and a Sunni respectively.

    The politician spent 25 years in exile and returned after the US toppled Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-led government. He participated in the US-backed “de-Baathification” program, which critics say fueled sectarian violence and Sunni radicalization.

    The US invasion and its aftermath caused widespread violence and disruption across Iraq, with multiple surveys suggesting hundreds of thousands of deaths and long-term social and economic consequences.

    TRANSLATION:
    Trump won't have Thomas Massie because he's out of control, since Massie won't accept Israel's bribes (unlike most GOP members).
