“DICTATOR:”

RFK, JR. SMILES:

Here’s the menu.

SO IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS, YOU’RE NOT CRAZY: US begins organ-transplant reform as ‘signs of life’ found before some retrievals. “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a reform of the organ-transplant system and threatened to close a major procurement body, after a probe found premature attempts to start organ retrieval while patients showed signs of life.”

UNSURPRISING: New study vindicates eggs, says they don’t hike bad-cholesterol levels.

Well, the egg/cholesterol worries stem from an LBJ political move designed to drive down egg prices amid growing inflation. “Shoe prices went up, so LBJ slapped export controls on hides to increase the supply of leather. Reports that color television sets would sell at high prices came across the wire. Johnson told me to ask RCA’s David Sarnoff [RCA was then a major TV manufacturer] to hold them down. Domestic lamb prices rose. LBJ directed [Defense Secretary Robert] McNamara to buy cheaper lamb from New Zealand for the troops in Vietnam. … When egg prices rose in the spring of 1966 and Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman told him that not much could be done, Johnson had the Surgeon General issue alerts as to the hazards of cholesterol in eggs.”

HE’S A MASTER TROLL: Don Surber: Getting media to cover Obamagate: Crazy Like A Fox Trump did it again with a fake but accurate video.

The media refused this weekend to cover the story of the century, in which Obama personally helped create and promote Russiagate which tied the first presidency of Donald Trump up in knots for years and also served as a cover story for Obama using the FBI to spy on Trump.

Watergate was for suckers. Obama called in the pros to spy because they had experience and had the deep-state judiciary’s approval through FISA.

In his second presidency, Trump’s attorney general has the evidence and the will to take the case to a grand jury. No excitement without an indictment, of course, but we will laugh it up when they lawyer up.

It would b helpful if the media told the story but the media is a subsidiary of the intelligence community. All that fat talk about fighting government censorship masks the real role of the media to peddle the lies from the FBI and the rest. . . .

Trump’s video—which shows Obama being arrested and dragged into prison—not only entertains the half of the nation that voted for Trump, but his posting the video makes the possibility of Obama being dragged to prison newsworthy.

Did I say “master troll?” I meant “Galactic Grandmaster Troll.”

I GAVE A SPEECH AT THE ATLANTA FED A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY WERE VERY NICE PEOPLE, AND THEIR JOBS SEEMED VERY CUSHY. Bessent: It’s About Time We Took a Good Look at the Fed, Doncha Think? “As for Bessent’s comment about universal basic income for well-placed academics, there is a certain amount of truth to that. . . . Who is at the Fed, and what do they all do?”

STRIKING VIDEO.

Clearly it’s not enough to put doglegs in trenches now, you need drone nets.

Also, where is everybody?

WOW: Hillary, Obama and the FBI: Russian Intelligence Speaks. John Hinderaker comments: “The word “bombshell” is promiscuously used these days, often regarding developments that are modest at best. But these documents, on their face, deserve that characterization. Russian intelligence, of course, is not the word of God. But this wouldn’t be the first time that we learned about nefarious actions of the Obama administration through intercepted Russian intelligence communications. This deserves very aggressive follow-up.”

Indeed.
