looks like time for a recall election;
As small farmers who produce livestock get more squeezed out of the retail market, at least one state is leading a charge against federal government overreach: New Hampshire. Yes, “Live Free or Die.” That state, bless ’em.
The legislature passed a bill, HB396, that allows 3 beef, 5 hogs, and 10 goats and sheep to be slaughtered on-farm per month and sold to individuals, grocery stores, and restaurants without inspection. It does require adequate cooling. It’s by far the most aggressive meat-freedom and farm-to-market-access legislation in the nation.
Meryl Nass is on top of the goings-on; thank you for keeping us informed.
But the governor vetoed it. Here is her justification:..........more............
the renegade called this post: morale, though israel is mentioned;
Grok:
Likely a real/valid photograph, not AI-generated.Visual inspection of the image (the same one shared by Trita Parsi and then by
@HormuzLetter) shows strong indicators of authenticity:
- Natural details: Consistent rivets, panel seams, paint wear/scratches, hydraulic elements, and a tire at the bottom. Lighting, shadows, and the clear blue sky match a real outdoor shot on a flight line or ramp.
- Dust writing: The graffiti is messy, uneven, finger-traced in accumulated dust/sand, with varying pressure, smudges, and overlapping marks. This matches real dust writing far better than typical AI text (which often looks too uniform, “font-like,” or has melting/warping artifacts). Phrases match those transcribed (“BiBi’s bucks,” “be a Good goy and do what Israel tells you to!!!,” “Operation Epstein Fury,” “Peace Deal #64 Incoming…. ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND,” “I LOVE ISRAEL I AM A GOOD GOYIM,” “IY Flock Cameras,” etc.).
- Aircraft context: It appears to be a trailing-edge flap or similar control surface on a large military aircraft (gray paint scheme consistent with US assets). Dust/sand buildup on aircraft in the Persian Gulf is well-documented from past operations due to frequent dust storms.
Trita Parsi (a known analyst) posted it earlier the same day stating it “was sent to me from the field,” along with a quoted comment from a serviceman about low morale. The image has no obvious generative-AI tells (distorted anatomy, inconsistent physics, gibberish text, unnatural smoothness, etc.). No reverse-image matches to older stock photos or prior AI examples have surfaced in searches, and the post is only hours old (16 Aug 2026), so no major fact-checks yet exist calling it synthetic.
the fbi isn't an honest friend of the citizens;
Representative Jim Jordan appears on Fox News to discuss the recently declassified and released information that highlights ongoing corruption within the FBI.
As noted by Jordan, within the documents the FBI continued operations to interfere in U.S. elections beyond 2016 into 2020 and 2024........more..........
larry johnson speaks of russians and war in ukraine;
Hey Mr. Trump? Are you paying attention? In a long interview broadcast on Russian state television on August 14, 2026, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered Moscow’s sharpest characterization in months of where relations with Washington stand in the fifth year of the war in Ukraine. The message was studiously two-sided, and deliberately so: the United States is, in Lavrov’s telling, both a party to the war against Russia and the only country Moscow will still talk to about ending it. Holding those two claims together is the whole of Russia’s current posture toward Washington, and Lavrov spent the interview managing the tension between them rather than resolving it.
The headline of the interview was an escalation in rhetoric, if not yet in action. Lavrov said Russia believes the United States is far more deeply involved in organizing and carrying out Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russian territory than Washington admits, and that this involvement extends to the provision of intelligence. When I was with the CIA, we called this kind of statement, No Shit Analysis. He said Moscow had submitted a formal set of questions to the State Department requesting clarification, specifically citing intelligence-sharing and what he framed as an American role in strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure, including oil refineries.
In casting Ukrainian long-range strikes as effectively American operations, Moscow put the Trump administration on notice about its reason for intensifying its own campaign against the Western supply chain sustaining Ukraine. Lavrov made that intention explicit, warning that Russia would harden its methods “to dismantle everything that fuels Kyiv’s war machine from the West,” and adding that Russia was “already doing this.”..............more..........
