NATO: Trump's efforts to get alliance members to meet their treaty obligations worked. 23 NATO members are paying their fair share.Our strengthened defences have been made possible because Allies are spending more.  Defence spending across European Allies and Canada is up 18% this year alone, the biggest increase in decades

COVERUP: Why didn't the DOJ bother to tell us that a after a three year FBI investigation a grand jury determined that Reps Schiff and Swalwell leaked classified documents to the press? Why didn't they prosecute the leakers? The DOJ IG is asking the same questions. The DOJ and FBI conducted a three year grand jury investigation into Rep Adam Schiff and Rep Eric Swalwell after a Congressional whistleblower told the FBI the members were leaking classified material to the media.
COVERUP: Make no mistake Section 605 of the Continuing Resolution was designed to prevent @PamBondi and @Kash_Patel from investigating Schiff, Swalwell, and Cheney.
COVERUP: Congressional Democrat Whistleblower Identified Schiff, Swalwell As Leakers of Classified Documents to the Media.

COVERUP? Has anyone else noticed a concerted effort to suppress the drone story? The new narrative is that there are no drones and that we’ve all been seeing airplanes. Everytime I share new video it get immediately ‘community noted’. Who is behind the suppression?
COVERUP? Clearly videos like this one are merely airplanes. This is how airplanes move.
COVERUP? This is clearly a plane. Image

COUP? Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law against "antistate forces" Tuesday night in an unannounced press conference, according to media reports.

Martial law in South Korea refers to a legal framework under which the administrative and judicial powers of the state are transferred to a military commander. Under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, the president has the authority to declare martial law, as stipulated by the Martial Law Act, in circumstances of war, armed conflict or other national emergencies deemed equivalent in gravity. The objective of martial law is to meet military requirements or maintain public safety and order when the normal functions of government are perceived to be inadequate.

Martial law is divided into two types: emergency martial law and security martial law. Emergency martial law grants the government sweeping powers, such as suspending the warrant system, restricting freedom of the press, curbing publication rights and limiting assembly and association, as well as overriding the authority of civilian courts and government agencies. When martial law is declared, the president must notify the National Assembly immediately. If the National Assembly demands its termination by a majority vote, the president is legally obligated to comply. While the National Assembly retains legislative authority, there are exceptional circumstances under which a military regime can temporarily assume control, particularly in the event of a coup that disrupts the normal constitutional order.Image
COUP: They’ve been predicting President Yeol would declare martial law since September. The folks who shared the warning were called conspiracy theorists.

PARDON? President Biden decided to go back on his promise not to pardon his son Hunter. First, I think this is the right thing for a father to do. Second, this will create an interesting situation as Hunter will no longer be able to invoke the 5th Amendment and will have to testify against his father. Third, it will be interesting to see how the media handles this. Will they call the president out for breaking his promise to the American people or will they give the almost former president cover?

Biden's Statement:

Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my re-election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the courtroom — with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.

No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.

For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.Statement from President Joe Biden  Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter.

WAR: Russia announced Ukraine attacked it using US-made nuclear-capable tactical missiles, after the US confirmed the report, Russia signaled it's ready to launch a tactical nuclear response according to @CNBC. Pray for peace. Image
WAR: The use of low yield tactical nukes, especially airburst, on the battlefield would give Russian troops a huge advantage and facilitate rapid troop advancement on all fronts. It would also demoralize Ukrainian troops. The targeted areas would be safe for troops within 12-24 hours. If NATO decided to intervene it would have to accept the very real threat of European capitals being targeted with strategic nuclear missiles. Russia clearly communicated, publicly and privately, it would reserve the right to a nuclear response if NATO provided and authorized use of long range missiles inside Russia. That line was crossed last night.Image
WAR: Putin has approved changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, setting out new conditions under which the country would consider using its arsenal. The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia. bbc.com/news/articles/…
