• @LauraLoomer

• If Blondi is fired, I’m told @GovRonDeSantis has been considered/floated for the role of Attorney General by some over the last few months. There’s also a private push behind the scenes by some GOP donors who want to see @KenPaxtonTX as AG, but he has US Senate aspirations. However, discussions have been taking place for several months about who could be Blondi’s replacement if she ever was fired or resigned. She has not done a good job as AG and everyone knows it.

• @WallStreetApes

• INSANE Joe Biden’s Senior Climate Policy Advisor directed $5 billion taxpayer dollars to a NGO THAT SHE WORKED AT. “She previously worked for them — So she sent money to the organization — $5 billion. Is that not blatant corruption”. This wasn’t the only time this happened. Congressman Eric Burlison: ‘Democrats gave grants to their friends in NGO's that they use to work for’ and gives more examples. “$5 billion is very difficult to spend. $5 billion is an absurd amount of money” (video)
• The CEO of Rainmaker, the cloud seeding company currently modifying the weather in Texas, explains how they “spray an agent” into our air. Using only 3 drones, spraying only 1 pound of this agent, causes 40 MILLION pounds of water to fall. “You disperse the material — So for every pound of this that you put up, you get in excess of 40 million pounds down on the ground. 40 million pounds of water”. “How many drones does it take to do this?” “Like, three. That's it”. (video)
• TEXAS! According to NOAA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin, over 10,000 square miles of area is scheduled to be cloud seeded all the way through November. 10,000 square miles of chemicals sprayed into the air Texas residents will be breathing in. Its already started. (video)

• Nicole Shanahan just published the Dark MAHA Report—and it’s a bombshell. Deep state elites have run top secret geoengineering projects since the 1950s. They have advanced tech for mass “psychological manipulation.” This is no longer a conspiracy theory—it’s all real. (thread)

• The most powerful family today isn't the Trumps or the Rothschilds. It's a family that avoids interviews and stays off social media COMPLETELY. Yet almost EVERYONE uses their product daily. Here are the top 10 most powerful and richest families:

• @mtgreenee

• First, they said we were crazy for saying they are controlling the weather and spraying chemicals in our skies. Now, they are admitting that they are controlling the weather and spraying chemicals in our skies, BUT that it’s not causing any harm. Call me crazy, I don’t care. but I’ll go ahead and say it. Weather modification and geoengineering is deadly and dangerous. And guess what, they can’t prove it’s not. My bill will ban weather modification and geoengineering. The government and companies who profit off of these practices don’t get to control our weather because we are all affected by it. We aren’t lab rats and weather is not a controlled environment.

• @MJTruthUltra

• Tucker Carlson: The frustration for normal people about Jeffrey Epstein is when they keep watching a certain class of people get away with everything, every single time. I can’t argue with that… (video)

• @TonySeruga

• BTW—President Trump @realDonaldTrump could appoint Matt Gaetz
  @mattgaetz as Attorney General in August 2025 via a recess appointment, allowing Gaetz to serve in that role without Senate confirmation until the end of the Senate's next session, which would be at the conclusion of the second session of the 119th Congress (typically in December 2026). Under Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the president has the authority to make recess appointments to fill vacancies during Senate recesses. These appointments do not require Senate confirmation and expire at the end of the Senate's "next Session." The 119th Congress convenes its first session on January 3, 2025, and its second session begins in January 2026. A recess appointment made during an intrasession recess in 2025 (such as August) would therefore last until the end of the second session in late 2026.
• Let this sink in: There are well over one million politicians and their aides that, just like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, are marxists/communists. The communist takeover of the U.S. has been in play for over 90 years. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was Trained in Terror Tactics and Bomb-Making in Castro’s Cuba Alongside Domestic Terrorists. She has been a dangerous far-left radical since the 1970s when she took fifteen trips to Cuba where she was trained in terror tactics alongside future members of the M19 and Weather Underground domestic terror groups. In 1983 the Capitol was bombed—SHE was the ring leader. You know what else is interesting:

• @LeadingReport

• BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders says the U.S. needs a border and that Democrats have done a poor job enforcing it. “You don’t have a country without borders. If you have borders, you should enforce that border. Democrats have not done as good a job as they should. Period. End of discussion.”
• BREAKING: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon warns that the GOP could lose 35–40 House seats if they don’t fully release the Epstein files. 
• BREAKING: House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin calls for hearing to subpoena Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino to publicly release all information they have on the Jeffrey Epstein files. 

• @ProjectConstitu

• BREAKING: The Secret Service Had Intel 10 Days Before Trump Rally Shooting — AND DID NOTHING!! That’s not a mistake. That’s a cover-up.We now know the Secret Service was warned 10 days before the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, PA — and they ignored it. (video)

• @EYakoby

• BREAKING: The niece of the China-based billionaire reportedly funding left-wing protest groups in the U.S. led the “Jews for Zohran” Mamdani campaign. This is a foreign psyop happening in plain sight—and we’re all just supposed to pretend it’s normal.

• @OcrazioCornPop

• SPECIAL PROSECUTOR GAETZ: Matt Gaetz name is being floated to INVESTIGATE & RELEASE the Epstein Files. WOULD YOU SUPPORT TRUMP APPOINTING @mattgaetz FOR THIS JOB?

• @EricLDaugh

• BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi dismisses charges against Dr. Kirk Moore, who faced years in prison after destroying COVID vaccine vials, giving his own patients vax cards who were not vaccinated, and giving children saline instead of the vax for parents who wanted to avoid the side effects. "Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today."

• @NJBeisner

• Did everyone already know all this? I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but what the hell? Donald Barr worked for the OSS, the predecessor to the CIA. Barr eventually became headmaster of the most prestigious schools in the nation, the Dalton School. In 1974, he hired as a teacher a completely inexperienced and unqualified twenty-one-year-old named Jeffrey Epstein. Mind you, Epstein hadn’t even graduated college, but Barr hired him as a teacher. Donald Barr is Bill Barr’s father. Bill Barr was the last person to visit Epstein in his cell. He was Attorney General when Epstein died. He initiated investigations by the FBI and the Department of Justice's Inspector General to uncover the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death. These investigations later concluded that Epstein died by suicide. Donald Barr is also the person who introduced Epstein to Robert Maxwell, Ghislane’s father. Robert Maxwell had ties to Mossad. He eventually “died at sea.” Donald Barr wrote a book called “Space Relations,” which was a fictional used account of elites in space sex trafficking young girls. All of this is very odd. (video)

OpenVAERS: 

• VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,025,775 Reports(+454 from prior report) Through May 30th, 2025. 

SKirsch.com:

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
