  • Breaking: The Storm has arrived! In the old days, one would ring the church bells warning of an incoming storm. People from all around would understand exactly what was happening. Right now, church bells across the country are ringing…the question is anyone listening? Without accountability of those who committed the most egregious crimes of treason or conspiracy to overthrow our government are placed in checkmate, the storm will not subside and in fact it will only grow in intensity. Warning, the storm is here!

  • BREAKING: US corporate profits before tax as a % of GDP are up to a record 14%. This ratio has nearly doubled since the 2008 Financial Crisis. This also exceeds previous peaks of ~13% posted in 1951, 2010, and 2011. Meanwhile, US corporate profits after tax as a % of GDP are up to ~11%, also an all-time high. By comparison, this figure averaged ~5% between 1980 and 1995. This comes as nominal profits after tax have surged +101% since the 2020 pandemic, to a record $3.62 trillion. US corporations are more profitable than ever.

  • Cop Who Was Jailed Over The Arrest of George Floyd Believes He Was Set Up To Be MURDERED. In Prison Attack to SILENCE Him. Tou Thao says if he lied, he would have been spared prison and maybe even been made police chief. He chose to speak the truth because of his Christian faith. “There’s people in government who want us dead. If we die, the truth dies.” “I could have taken the easy way out and sided with the woke mob… if I would’ve went that way, who knows, I probably could’ve been the Chief of Minneapolis.”

  • Senator Ron Johnson reveals the single most disturbing thing he discovered in Anthony Fauci’s diaries. Johnson says this was the justification that he used to “devastate people’s lives.” JOHNSON: “One thing that I think is really being overlooked in terms of what was revealed in those diaries…” “Was early on in the pandemic, to his diary, he thought that COVID-19 would be double the flu, but he went out in public saying it was TEN times.” “He went out to the public and said it was going to be ten times worse…and that’s what he used to shut down the economy.” “To devastate people’s lives. Devastate the economy.” (video)

  • FDA's own file on Moderna's new mRNA flu shot, in one chart. - 3 in 4 adults 65+ had a reaction. - Day-stopping reactions, 4x the comparator. - Deaths of unspecified cause: 23 vs 9 — with zero autopsies performed. - Benefit: 137 people switched to prevent one case of flu-like illness. All FDA's numbers. Including their caveats. (pic)

  • Scott Presler Just Exposed What They Swore Never Happens — And Now the DOJ Is Threatening Jail Time. BOMBSHELL FROM PHILLY. Scott Presler and his team at Early Vote Action just did what no state official bothered to do: they hand-transcribed thousands of non-juror names in Philadelphia — people who told the court under penalty of law they aren’t U.S. citizens — and cross-referenced them against active voter rolls. The result? 1 in 4 showed up as registered voters. Not a rounding error. Not a clerical hiccup. Twenty-five percent. Pennsylvania is a state decided by less than 5-point margins. Let that sink in.
