The Day in Posts 5/17
He’s Done, Congress smack-talk, Trump up, Team Biden panics, Rafah hostage bodies found, spy balloon down, Hezbollah and Iran get it, Putin & Xi, Russia & China, Gaza pier, Diddy trends & more!
The Meme of the Day is from @TexasRepublic71. Texas shouldn’t feel special- this could be one of literally dozens of small towns all across the South, most of which it feels like I’ve contributed to over the years.
If you’re new here, thanks for reading this! It’s NOT a news aggregator—there are plenty of those out there—it’s a collection of posts that catch my eye during my daily scrolling on X, and occasionally other platforms. I try to show different sides & viewpoints of complex issues, but like everyone else on the planet I have my own biases—you’ll figure them out quickly enough. You can also click the links to go to the Posts, because I’m all about giving you the sources & info to make up your own mind.
Enjoy, and please remember to like, share and comment. Also, if you want to subscribe and not have to dig it out of my social media feeds every day, this Substack is (and I hope always will be) free.
The Top 5 Posts:
Link and yes, every Dem on the committee voted against this.
Federal Reserve is trending today, as Rep. Massie’s bill to abolish the Fed is taking off on social media. Watch this for some interesting background on the Fed.
Honorable Mention:
Long post with the receipts How can this not be a conflict of interest?
Whatever implant they put in him, whatever treatment they gave him after his stroke—can we do that to every member of Congress? Pretty please? He’s making more sense now than he ever has!
And yet this doesn’t seem to bother anyone in the Biden regime or the #Uselessparty Congress enough for them to, like, actually do something about it. Wonder what that is? 🤔 What do you want to bet what’s described in this video is just the tip of the iceberg?
Long post with embedded video about the Fed, which Woodrow Wilson called his “greatest mistake.”
Watch, but be warned—it really is disturbing.
As promised yesterday, here’s more information on the spy balloon that was shot down. This balloon was captured by his Hezbollah, which means that Hezbollah and their patron Iran now has full access to some of the most current American technology available. And don’t think that Israel is the one who’s out this $200 million-this was given to Israel by America, so it’s US taxpayers who footed the bill for this, and will undoubtedly be expected to provide a replacement. *cue waving the 🇮🇱 flag*
Sadly, young Alex has now been demonetized across all of his platforms. If you follow the Substack, you’ll have seen him regularly, as he is one of the best sources of information on what’s going on in Gaza and the rest of the region. Unfortunately for him, his posts to expose unpleasant truths about a certain apartheid ethnostate, which is run by the Tribe-That-Must-Not-Be-Named. There seems to be a pattern developing here – if you speak out against this Tribe, you’re shadowbanned, account-locked and demonetized. It’s almost like they get upset when their misdeeds annd various war crimes are publicly made known. 🤔 Ain’t that right, Kanye?
Link We can only hope Hamas doesn’t manage to make off with all the aid, but I’m not terribly optimistic about that.
Link The Chinese are all about appearances, and have raised passive-aggressive snubbing to a high art. From the tiny, low-ranking reception Blinken got when he steps off the plane to the minute he left, the snubs were everywhere—I’d you know what to look for. In contrast, Putin was literally welcomed with open arms. Yet another O’Biden dumpster fire on the international stage!
Compare this to what Biden did to the Keystone pipeline…
Watch, and please try not to compare Cousin Vlad to the demented sock puppet currently being propped up behind the WH teleprompter.
And the Snark:
Diddy is trending today along with ‘He’s Done.’ This is not what you want to be trending for, sweeties! Here’s the question—did he keep anything to use as an “insurance policy?” Frazzledrip, anyone?
