Trump embraces the blockchain and crypto, it begins. The people are now seeing the corrupt and the criminals. The more they do the worse it gets for them and the more they red pill the people.

Rep. Debbie Lesko’s office said that the bill passed with bi-partisan support. “I am saddened that we would need such a bill,” Lesko said in the release. “However, as we have experienced under this administration, the Department of Energy has unleashed an avalanche of new regulations for household products, including stoves, dishwashers, washing machines, showers, toilets, water heaters, air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces. “No government bureaucrat should EVER scheme to take away Americans’ appliances in the name of a radical environmental agenda, yet that is exactly what we have seen under the Biden Administration,” she added (emphasis original).

It was 9 per cent when I came into office, 9 percent. But it — look, people have a right to be concerned, ordinary people.

That’s what the vaccines were studied to do in this country, and that’s what they did,” Birx answered. This is a blatant lie.

Within hours of the study being published, federal officials scrambled to respond. Internal CDC emails show officials were worried the paper would harm their efforts to promote the Covid injections to the public.

You can follow him at PeterSweden.com. This is big news for freedom and sovereignty. Now it is being reported that Britain is REFUSING to sign on to the World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty and that they will not sign any form of the treaty that undermines Britain’s sovereignty. That is very good news. However, the reason they are against the treaty is because countries will be obliged to give away 20% of pandemic related health products. In other words, things such as vaccines, medicines and protection equipment like face masks. In other words, it is basically a form of Global Communism. Britain has said they will require that any pandemic treaty will have to respect national sovereignty. Could this be the beginning of the WHO pandemic treaty failing? How many other countries could join in rejecting this, following in Britain’s footsteps?

Through close of business on May 3, the FBI has arrested 1,424 suspects in the 40 months since the breach and violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the DOJ reported in its monthly update.  Such an acceleration of arrests are a clear sign Biden regime’s determination to arrest and convict as many people as possible before the end of the year, knowing that if Donald Trump returns to the White House those investigations will be halted and pardons will be issued to some or all of those involved.

Roxanne Mathai was a “passionate supporter” of Donald Trump and had traveled to Washington to attend the ‘Stop The Steal’ protests. She uploaded photos of the event to social media as protesters entered the Capitol building, although she did not enter the building herself After returning to San Antonio, Sheriff Javier Salazar launched an investigation into her conduct and eventually fired her from the role that she held for nine years. It later emerged that he had campaigned for Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.   Mathai responded by suing the county and Sheriff Salazar for wrongful termination, citing violations of her First and 14th Amendment rights.

Source: thegatewaypundit.com Jack Smith has admitted to violating the same law used against J6 defendants  Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has just admitted that he and other DOJ and FBI minions manipulated documentary evidence underlying the Mar-a-Lago case against Donald Trump. Did anyone notice something,   Smith has admitted to doing what the J6 defendants are accused and have been convicted of doing: Violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The statutory charges against the J6 defendants are a specious abuse of the law but they perfectly fit Smith’s admitted conduct. One of the main tools in the DOJ arsenal against anyone near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is § 1512(c)(2), which the DOJ claims means imprisonment for a person who “corruptly…obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding…” That is what the DOJ claims happened when ordinary Americans (a) exercised their rights of free speech and (b) usually inadvertently, entered onto Capitol land after masked agitators had removed “no trespassing” signage and fencing and after the Capitol police had opened the building’s doors. The penalty is fines and/or imprisonment, with the latter potentially as long as 20 years. the DOJ came down hard on subsection (c)(2) of the statute because it contains the phrase “official proceeding.” (c) Whoever corruptly— [snip] (2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. But while the DOJ is focusing everyone’s attention on subsection (2), they’re ignoring subsection (1): (c) Whoever corruptly— (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding… Does that remind you of anything? It certainly does me. It reminds me of Smith’s admission to Judge Aileen Cannon about his and his minions’ handling of the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, documents that then served as the basis for his decision to indict Donald Trump.  Source; americanthinker.com BREAKING: New York's judicial oversight body has initiated an investigation into claims that Judge Arthur Engoron met with a high-profile attorney, Adam Leitman Bailey, who allegedly offered unsolicited advice on the Trump case prior to a major ruling.

Additionally, it would allow the Democrats to run advertisements claiming that Donald Trump was a “convicted felon.” But because TDS is real and the concept of “nuance” is completely lost on liberals, they instead charged ahead like a bull in a china shop with 34 felony indictments against the former president. This means if Trump is convicted, the judge will have no choice but to impose an incredibly harsh sentence.  if Trump is convicted, and keep in mind that the 34 indictments are carbon copies of the original charge meaning that if he is found guilty of one he will be found guilty of all of them, there would be no reason as to why he would not immediately be sent to prison. Even if he were to be given only six months per felony conviction, it would result in a sentence of 17 years, not a term that could be put off under normal court guidelines.   It’s certainly likely that the average American is tuned out to the current court proceedings, but if the leader of the Republican party were to be jailed just a few months before the election you can bet they’d start paying attention and asking questions. The reality is that charging Trump with 34 felonies leaves the court with no wiggle room whatsoever. If he is convicted, the court will have no choice but to impose a draconian sentence on him or be exposed as a totally fraudulent entity. Either Trump engaged in an activity that was so serious it required being charged with 34 felonies eight years after the events occurred, or the “crime” of which he will be convicted of is so unthreatening to the citizenry that he can continue to be allowed to walk the streets free to potentially “re-offend.”  . The MSM is already struggling to explain the crime that is being charged. If Trump were to be convicted and given a lengthy prison sentence right before the election there’s no plausible way they could justify his incarceration. At this point the best outcome that Democrats could hope for would be a hung jury where they could blame some juror as a Trump supporter, whether or not that claim had any basis in reality; but if Donald Trump is convicted, they are opening a Pandora’s Box that may swallow them whole.

Veggies – Carrots, celery, and yellow bell peppers add vibrant colors and amazing flavors to this dish. Spices – Yellow curry powder, garam masala, and ground ginger give this stew its Moroccan theme. Slivered Almonds – Toasted slivered almonds provide crunch and deep, nutty flavors. Rice – We love serving this over a bowl of fluffy rice to soak up the broth. Substitutions And Variations Take a look at some of our favorite variations to this Moroccan Style Chicken Stew: Make It Vegetarian: To make Moroccan stew vegetarian, simply replace the chicken with chickpeas, tofu cubes, or your favorite vegan meat replacement and substitute veggie broth for the chicken stock. Add More Veggies: Take some inspiration from our Butternut Squash Chili recipe and try adding cubed squash, pumpkin, or sweet potatoes. Add Some Spice: Want to give your stew a little kick of spice? Try adding some cayenne powder to taste until it reaches your desired level of spiciness. Change the Starch: Try serving this chicken stew with Instant Pot Brown Rice, Quinoa, or couscous. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions Pour raisins into hot chicken stock, and let plump up. Combine curry powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.  Sauté chopped bacon in Dutch oven for about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a small bowl and set aside.  Brown the chicken pieces in small batches in leftover bacon grease until all chicken is browned. Sauté carrots, bell peppers, onions, and garlic until softened. Add tomatoes, honey, curry powder mixture, ginger, and raisins with the stock. Simmer until sauce thickens. Nestle chicken pieces into the sauce.

Another one of our favorite desserts to serve with Moroccan Style Chicken Stew are these Chewy Coconut Macaroons (dipped in chocolate, of course). Commonly Asked Questions Is Moroccan Style Chicken Stew gluten-free? Yes! Moroccan Style Chicken Stew is completely gluten-free and dairy-free too! Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs for this dish? While you absolutely can use chicken breasts for this stew and still end up with amazing results, we recommend the bone-in/skin-on chicken thighs or drum sticks as the extra fat from the skin provides so much flavor and helps the chicken cook extra tender. Can I make this recipe in the Instant Pot? This recipe would be great for the Instant Pot. Take a look at our Instant Pot Chicken Curry recipe for tips and tricks on cooking chicken with the instant pot. Can I make this recipe in the slow cooker? Though you’ll be exchanging crispy exterior for a fix-it-and-forget-it cooking method, the slow cooker is a good option. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on Low for about 8 hours or until chicken is tender. Why do you tent the stew with foil while baking? We tent the stew with foil the first half of baking, because it prevents the chicken from drying out and helps all the flavors really meld together. Then, for the last half of baking we remove the foil to allow the chicken to crisp just slightly for a supremely satisfying outcome. What about the olives? Some recipes include green olives, and you’re welcome to add those or any other type of olives to the stew.

  During World War I, the United States actively sold weapons to the Allied powers of Britain and France. In an attempt to limit the role of American-made weapons, Germany threatened to sink any ships crossing the Atlantic with weapons bound for the Allies. Although the Lusitania incident of 1915 got Germany to back away from its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, its wartime struggles convinced it to re-institute this policy. Knowing that returning to unrestricted submarine warfare would likely draw the US into the war on the side of the Allies, Germany wanted a way to keep the American military occupied elsewhere. With tensions high between the US and Mexico, Germany approached Mexico about an alliance.   Setting the Stage: The Mexican-American War A map showing the territory won from Mexico after the Mexican-American War (1846-48) between Texas and the Pacific Ocean. Source: Ashland University   Tensions have long been high along America’s southern border. In the early days of the Republic, what is now Mexico was the province of New Spain. When Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, it bordered the United States along the territory purchased from France in 1803 (the Louisiana Purchase). The United States and Mexico soon clashed diplomatically over the breakaway republic of Texas, which won its independence from Mexico in 1836. Ironically, many Americans had immigrated to Texas illegally, heightening Mexico’s suspicion of the expansion-focused United States.   After multiple attempts, Texas was made part of the United States in 1845. This immediately sparked dispute between the US and Mexico regarding their respective borders: the US claimed the Rio Grande River was the border, while Mexico claimed the Nueces River–further to the northeast–was the border. After a shooting incident in the area between the two rivers, known as the Nueces Strip, launched the Mexican-American War in 1846, Mexico was forced to cede over half of its territory to the victorious United States. After the war, Mexico struggled through many periods of internal unrest following its humiliating loss of territory.   Setting the Stage: Veracruz & Pancho Villa Images of Mexican rebel/revolutionary Pancho Villa, whose cross-border raids drew the US Army into northern Mexico to capture him. Source: Library of Congress   Unrest in Mexico continued through the early 20th century. Many Mexicans were upset at US foreign interventions in Latin America, which had begun in earnest under President Theodore Roosevelt. They were also tired of political corruption and unrest, especially the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which sparked a rapid chain of leadership changes in Mexico. In 1914, the United States occupied the Mexican port city of Veracruz after the Tampico Incident, where US Navy sailors were arrested while on a mission to protect US property in the region. After Mexican authorities gave what was considered an insufficient apology for the arrest, Congress and US President Woodrow Wilson decided to occupy the city of Veracruz.   Refusal to accept Mexico’s new president, Venustiano Carranza, led revolutionary (and former Carranza ally) Pancho Villa to invade the United States in 1916, likely in direct retaliation for US military assistance to Carranza-allied troops in 1915. On the morning of March 9, 1916, hundreds of raiders led by Villa swarmed the town of Columbus, New Mexico. Eighteen Americans were killed by the time US troops drove Villa’s forces away. In retaliation, the US sent an army into northern Mexico to hunt down Pancho Villa. Its leader, General John J. Pershing, would later be the leader of the American Expeditionary Forces to Europe during World War I.   1915: The Lusitania Incident and Sussex Pledge An image of the passenger ship Lusitania sinking off the Irish coast in 1915 after being torpedoed by a German submarine. Source: United States Army   As relations between the US and Mexico eroded between 1914 and 1916, tensions also soared between the US and Germany. World War I raged in Europe, but the United States remained neutral. Still, the US had strong economic ties with Britain and France, and this included selling them weapons for the ongoing war. In February 1915, Germany declared that merchant ships bringing weapons to Britain would be targeted by its submarines. On May 7, 1915, the British luxury liner Lusitania was sunk off the coast of Ireland by a German submarine after the passenger vessel had been accused of carrying munitions for Britain.   More than half of the almost 2,000 passengers aboard the Lusitania perished, including 128 Americans. The United States was outraged, and the incident firmly swung public opinion in favor of the Allies. Although Germany had acted within its state rules of engagement, there was tremendous public pressure to refrain from sinking passenger ships. After another passenger ship, the SS Sussex, was attacked in early 1916, American pressure got Germany to sign the Sussex Pledge not to attack passenger vessels.   1917: Unrestricted Submarine Warfare to Return A painting depicting a German submarine attacking an American merchant ship during World War I. Source: National Ocean Service and US Department of Commerce   As the stalemate of World War I continued, Germany was suffering under Britain’s naval blockade. It invested heavily in submarines to fight this blockade and perform a similar, albeit hidden, naval blockade of Britain itself. Germany had a difficult choice: resume unrestricted submarine warfare to try and starve Britain into submission…but risk the United States’ entry into the war on the side of the Allies. Resuming unrestricted submarine warfare would inevitably mean the sinking of American merchant and passenger vessels on the grounds that they were carrying munitions for Britain and France.   In January 1917, the decision was made to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. On January 31, the German ambassador to the United States announced that the policy would go into effect on the following day, February 1. US President Woodrow Wilson was outraged and quickly severed diplomatic relations with Germany. Later that month, after Congress refused to make the proposal law, Wilson armed US merchant ships by executive order. Wilson did not ask for a declaration of war, however, because there was no “smoking gun” of German aggression toward the United States itself.   The Zimmermann Telegram An image of the decoded Zimmermann Telegram requesting a military alliance between Germany and Mexico. Source: Houston Public Media   Unbeknownst to Wilson and Congress, Germany had already made such an aggressive action! On January 17, 1917, British intelligence had intercepted an encrypted telegram from German foreign minister Arthur Zimmermann to Heinrich von Eckhardt, the German ambassador to Mexico. The telegram, named after its sender, anticipated the eruption of hostilities between the US and Germany due to Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare. On February 26, just after Wilson had ordered the arming of merchant and passenger ships in the Atlantic, British intelligence shared the decoded telegram with the United States.   An image of German Secretary of Foreign Affairs Arthur Zimmermann superimposed over his [in]famous 1917 telegram to Mexico. Source: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (US) The telegram told German diplomats to approach the Mexican government in the event of America’s entry into the war and offer Mexico a military alliance. Explicitly, the military alliance would help Mexico retake the US states of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, which had been lost after the Mexican-American War. To assist with this, Germany would offer “generous financial support.” Additionally, Germany wanted Mexico to communicate with Japan and try to get Japan to switch sides in the ongoing war (although Japan played a minimal role due to its location in the Pacific).   The Telegram Revealed: America’s Reaction A Chicago newspaper headline on March 1, 1917 detailing the plot of the Zimmermann Telegram. Source: Library of Congress   On March 1, President Wilson released the Zimmermann Telegram’s text to the public in newspapers. As expected, most Americans were outraged. Some, however, thought the message was a fake due to its lack of feasibility: because of the brutal stalemate on the Western Front, Germany had few resources to spare. Shortly after its publication, Germany acknowledged the telegram, with Zimmermann defending it by declaring that it was only to take effect if America entered World War I.   News of the telegram was inflammatory because it was known that Germany had agents in Mexico. Also, the US still had troops in Mexico pursuing Pancho Villa, making the telegram highly pertinent in that regard as well. Public debate surged, with opinion turning harshly against Germany. Over the course of a month, calls for war increased, and Wilson convened his cabinet on March 20 to discuss the possibility of entering the war. On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany.   United States Enters World War I An image illustrating the United States’ entry into World War I on the side of the Allies in April 1917. Source: The National WWI Museum and Memorial   On April 4, the Senate voted for a declaration of war against Germany, followed by the House of Representatives on April 6. The United States had formally entered World War I. Technically, it was not an Allied power but rather a co-belligerent against Germany. Unlike more recent wars, the United States entered World War I with only a small standing army. Although the US had actively intervened in Latin America, these were not industrialized nations like Germany. Not since the War of 1812 had the United States had to fight an industrialized nation near to, or even greater than, its own strength.   To help the US prepare to fight Germany in Europe, several hundred British and French veterans of trench warfare came to America to train new recruits. On May 18, Congress passed the Selective Service Act to create a draft, or conscription, to fill the US military ranks in preparation for combat. This law is still in effect today, although it has not been used to run a draft since 1973. Eight days later, General John J. Pershing, who had pursued Pancho Villa in Mexico, was named commander of the US forces that would head to France. The American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) would eventually number 4 million men!   Did Mexico Want to Accept the Deal? Mexican president Venustiano Carranza faced political pressure from the United States in 1917. Source: Mexican Secretary of Culture   Despite high tensions between Mexico and the United States, Mexico was not inclined to accept the deal offered by Germany. Even with German aid, which Mexico figured would be minimal, Mexico’s military was no match for that of the United States, which had dominated Spain in the Spanish-American War twenty years earlier. Ultimately, the offer was formally rejected by Mexico after a commission determined its infeasibility. Japan also firmly denied that it would have accepted any offer to switch sides in the war.   Mexico lacked a domestic arms industry and relied on other nations for weapons, making it ill-equipped to launch any sort of attack on the United States. In terms of industrial capacity, Mexico was also no match for the industrialized United States. The US also had a far greater population than Mexico in 1917, allowing it to overwhelm the Mexicans on any battlefield. Even if Mexico had been able to win sizable chunks of territory in a well-coordinated surprise attack with German-supplied weapons, it certainly could not have kept them against an American counter-offensive.   Post-Zimmermann Relations Between the US & Mexico A man waving a Mexican flag at the US-Mexico border. Source: The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)   In exchange for rejecting the Zimmermann Telegram and remaining neutral, the US agreed to recognize Carranza’s rule in Mexico. After World War I ended, the US had relatively little interaction with Mexico; immigration from Mexico did not become a noteworthy issue until the Great Depression, when the Mexican Repatriation saw angry Americans, often at the state or local level rather than the federal level, force Mexicans (or Mexican-Americans born in the United States) to return to Mexico under threat of violence. During World War II, demand for Mexican labor returned, and the Bracero Program, which lasted for twenty years, saw thousands of guest workers from Mexico labor in American agriculture.   Tensions have periodically resurfaced between the United States and Mexico over post-1960s illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and political unrest in Mexico. Of these, illegal immigration has combined with Mexican drug cartels to create the controversial issue of human trafficking. The governments of the United States and Mexico have clashed regarding how to deal with both immigration and combating drug-related violence. Similar to 1916, some American politicians have argued that the US military should become involved in fighting drug cartels in Mexico to stem the flow of narcotics northward. While this scenario is unlikely to occur, critics say that such rhetoric only harms US-Mexico diplomatic relations.   Implications Today: Role of Military Intelligence An image showing the many US intelligence agencies in the modern era. Source: Army War College   The successful interception and decryption of the Zimmermann Telegram in 1917 was a watershed moment for cryptography and military intelligence. Intercepting enemy signals, known as SIGINT for signals intelligence, is now a major field of espionage and intelligence. Since 1917, both information-sending and information-capturing technology has advanced through many evolutions. The US National Security Agency, or NSA, is the primary intelligence agency for monitoring electronic communications.   Sending and breaking codes famously played a significant role in World War II, where the Allies were able to break the German Enigma codes and Japanese codes. The Americans also used Navajo code-talkers in the Pacific to confound the Japanese, who had no speakers of Navajo, to help break the codes. After World War II, the use of cryptography continued, including during the Korean War. Today, in any conflict, all parties seek to capture and decode their enemies’ transmissions to gain valuable intelligence on capabilities, planned attacks, and potential weaknesses that can be exploited.
