The whole religious right thing I just think of as a psyop at this point in time, I remember all of the "crusty old adults" shit in the 90s but looking back, where they really that influential?

Well..name a real victory that the "Religious Right" had in the 90s..or 2000s, or 2010s.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drafted plans to release thousands of immigrants and slash its capacity to hold detainees after the failure of a Senate border bill that would have erased a $700 million budget shortfall, according to four officials at ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

The bipartisan border bill that Republican lawmakers opposed last week would have provided $6 billion in supplemental funding for ICE enforcement operations. The bill’s demise has led ICE officials to begin circulating an internal proposal to save money by releasing thousands of detainees and cutting detention levels from 38,000 beds to 22,000 — the opposite of the enforcement increases Republicans say they want.

The budget crunch and the proposal also present a difficult scenario for the Biden administration heading into the spring, when illegal crossings at the southern border are expected to spike again. On Tuesday, House Republicans voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his border record, and immigration remains President Biden’s worst-rated issue in polls.

While Democrats and RINOs fight to send $75 billion to Ukraine and Israel, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to release thousands of immigrants, and significantly curtail its ability to hold detainees, after the failure of a Senate border bill that would have erased a $700 million budget shortfall, according to the Washington Post, citing four officials at ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

In short: because Ukraine didn't get their money, Biden('s operatives who are actually running the government) - a good friend of Ukraine, is going to hurt America, as opposed to simply closing the border via Executive Order and diverting Pentagon funding like Trump did (until the liberal 9th Circuit in California ruled it unlawful). And recall, the Biden administration is fighting with Texas to remove razor wire.

After the Ukraine bill failed, which contained $6 billion in supplemental funding for ICE enforcement operations, agency officials began circulating an internal proposal to slash costs by releasing thousands of detainees, and reducing the number of beds in detention centers from 38,000 to 22,000.

Let's not forget that the failed Ukraine bill would also allow 5,000 migrants into the country daily.

Oh the cope is increasing about the age stuff.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health...ency-normal-cognition-not-dementia-alzheimers (archive)

Last week, President Biden confused the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico.

In late January, former President Donald Trump appeared to confuse his Republican rival Nikki Haley with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat.

The lapses prompted lots of amateur speculation about the mental fitness of each man.

But dementia experts say such slips, on their own, are no cause for concern.

"We've all had them," says Dr. Zaldy Tan, who directs the Memory and Healthy Aging Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "It's just that we are not public figures and therefore this is not as noticeable or blown up."

Also, memory lapses become more common with age, even in people whose brains are perfectly healthy.

The temporary inability to remember names, in particular, "is very common as we get older," says Dr. Sharon Sha, a clinical professor of neurology at Stanford University.

Cognitive changes are often associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. But all brains lose a step or two with age.

"Even the so-called successful agers, if you measure their cognitive performance, you will see certain changes compared to their baseline," Tan says.

A slower brain​

One reason for the decline is a decrease in the speed at which the brain processes information. Slower processing means a person may take longer to respond to a question or make a decision.

That may be a problem for a race car driver or an airline pilot, Tan says. But it's less likely to make a difference to someone who is doing "an executive-level job, where there is a lot of support and a lot more time to do planning and decision making."

Another cognitive change associated with age involves working memory, which allows us to keep in mind a password or phone number for a few seconds or minutes.

A typical person in their 20s might be able to reliably hold seven digits in working memory, Sha says. "As we age, that might diminish to something like six digits, but not zero."

A healthy brain typically retains its ability to learn and store information. But in many older people, the brain's ability to quickly retrieve that information becomes less reliable.

"Trying to remember that name of the restaurant that they were in last week or the name of the person that they met for coffee, that is not in itself a sign of dementia," Tan says, "but it's a sign of cognitive aging."

A glitch or a problem?​

Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia become more common with each passing decade. An estimated 40% of people between 80 and 85 have either dementia, which makes independent living difficult, or what's known as mild cognitive impairment.

But diagnosing those conditions requires more than an hour of testing and a thorough history of someone's life, Tan says, not just watching a few seconds of a press conference.

"Some people are reading too much into little snippets of interviews without really knowing what's going on behind the scenes," he says.

Part of the process of diagnosing a brain problem is ruling out other factors.

"We often ask about sleep because that can impair memory," Sha says. "We ask about depression and anxiety, we ask about medication."

It's also critical to measure a person's current cognitive performance against their performance earlier in life, Sha says. A retired professor, for example, may do well on cognitive tests despite a significant mental decline.

Assessing a president​

During his presidency, Donald Trump said that he "aced" a test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment or MoCA. But Sha says that's a 10-minute screening test designed to flag major deficits, not an in-depth look at cognitive function.

"It's a great screening test," Sha says. "But for a president, you would kind of expect that [their score] should be perfect."

Both Sha and Tan agree that voters should consider the benefits of an older brain when considering presidential candidates.

"As you get older, you have more experience, more control [over] your emotions," Tan says. So it's important to not only look at a candidate's cognitive abilities, he says, but also "their wisdom and the principles that they live by."

I'm thinking number 1. a digital 9/11. Blame it on Iran and Hamas.

Maybe all 3 to force through a digital patriot act while no one is looking. Look at that Whitney Webb interview I've posted a few times.

I'm guessing 2 since it would let the state clamp down on anti-migrant talking points.

I'm also guessing they'll do something retarded like have their Patriot Front assets pull it off because, you know, the government's run by Dunning-Kreuger retards.

So for a couple months now I've been noticing the Glowies being SUPER paranoid about domestic terrorist attacks. Remember when the drunk boomers fireballed their car at the Canadian Border? And the 3 letter agencies immediately came out and said it was terrorism.

I'm pretty sure they have super solid evidence that Muslim Extremists crossed the border with active intent to carry out a mass casualty event. Not just like suspicions it could of happened, we are talking they know the affiliations and the reasoning for their action. The case in Miami with the crazy police response for a "Teen brawl" with flights shut down, I believe was also a over the top response because they know SOMETHING is going to happen, and they are on edge waiting for the shoe to drop.

I'm guessing this is that and the Repub with ambition in the House want to make it public before hand to really twist the wrist of those fighting them on border control.

The terror organization, purported led by one Yeshua ibn Mu'un al Nool, is known to have a decentralized structure and is theorized to be capable of detonating multiple N-bombs simultaneously in dozens of American cities.

This is a rule for running ads. But probably crosses over to search results as well.

Add to or replace far-right groups with Christian Nationalists and you're probably spot on.

And if you question it at all, you're *insert every name in the book*.

An article on the "national security threat"

House Intel chair warns of 'serious national security threat' ahead of planned White House briefing​

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, released an unusual statement Wednesday warning of a "serious national security threat" without providing additional details, pre-empting what the White House said was a planned briefing for congressional leaders.

"Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat," Turner wrote in the statement.

Turner said he's requesting that President Joe Biden "declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat."

The statement didn't offer any additional details, including the nature of the threat. On Wednesday afternoon, House members began trickling in and out of the highly secure room in the basement of the Capitol, known as the SCIF, where the most sensitive, classified information is shared with lawmakers.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan addressed Turner's statement at a press briefing a short time later and suggested he was perplexed by the congressman's statement because they already had a briefing planned for Thursday. A U.S. official confirmed that the Thursday briefing is related to the threat highlighted by Turner.

Sullivan said that earlier this week, he reached out to the Gang of Eight, the top leaders from the House and Senate, "to offer myself up for a personal briefing."

"That's been on the books so I am a bit surprised that Congressman Turner came out publicly today, in advance of a meeting on the books, for me to go sit with him alongside our intelligence and defense professionals tomorrow," Sullivan told reporters.

He continued, "That’s his choice to do that. All I can tell you is that I’m focused on going to see him, sit with him, as well as the other House members of the Gang of Eight tomorrow and I’m not in a position to say anything further from this podium."

Sullivan declined to provide additional details about the briefing but made clear that he was the one who initiated the meeting.

"I personally reached out to the Gang of Eight. It is highly unusual, in fact, for the national security adviser to do that, and I did that," he said.

Asked whether the public should be concerned about the threat, Sullivan said, "In a way, that question is impossible to answer with a straight 'yes' ... because Americans understand that there are a range of threats and challenges in the world that we’re dealing with every single day, and those threats and challenges range from terrorism to state actors, and we have to contend with them."

"I am confident that President Biden, in the decisions that he has taken, is going to ensure the security of the American people going forward, and I will stand here at this podium and assert that, look you in the eye with confidence that we believe that we can and will and are protecting the national security of the United States and the American people."

A Democratic source familiar with the threat told NBC News: "This is a serious issue that could lead to a destabilizing situation and a national security threat."

The source described it as a “potential foreign threat” but would not identify where the threat is coming from.

Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said that there's no reason to panic.

“People should not panic — that is unequivocal. People should not panic,” Himes said.

Turner “is right to highlight this issue, but it’s so sensitive that he is right now not publicly discussing it,” Himes told reporters. “And I don’t want people thinking that martians are landing or that your Wednesday is going to be ruined. But it is something that the Congress and the administration does need to address in the medium to long run."

Rep Mike Garcia, R-Calif., said he urges all members to look at the intelligence. “I urge the president to take this matter seriously as well. And it’s not a political issue. It’s something that needs the attention of members of Congress and the executive branch," he said.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Wednesday, “I think more information will be made available as appropriate, hopefully, sooner rather than later.”

Senate leaders are not expected to attend the briefing Thursday because the upper chamber is now on a two-week recess.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., and its ranking member, Marco Rubio, R-Fla., were briefed weeks ago on the national security threat identified by Turner, according to two sources with direct knowledge. The intelligence has been made available to all members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

One source with knowledge noted that the threat is “not unrelated” to the issues addressed by the currently stalled national security supplemental funding package, which includes aid for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan, but that they are not “directly tied." The source declined to elaborate further.

I see my late night highway of death rampage has caused quite a stir. Lets see some choice quotes.

Bush Jr caused a lot of problems that we're still dealing with to this very day. I was there. I saw it. People were more or less eager to go to Afghanistan because of bin Laden. The public justification for Iraq 2: Electric Boogaloo was 'they have WMDs' and even then there were some people that were saying 'what the fuck does that have to do with Osama bin Laden?' There was never a justification and when they publicly turned it into a nation building exercise at the expense of more and more troops people were done with it. Bush barely skated by in 2004 because Kerry was the democratic candidate and he would have been worse.

You are too young to remember any of this. Stop sucking Bush Jr's dick on this when he absolutely deserves to eat shit on Iraq.

You sound like George Lucas bitching about Bush. In fact most movies in that time did. Which is why I can't be assed to hate him. You see a demon that was created by leftist media propaganda via television broadcasts in 2003, amplified by every movie, book, and TV show. Either the media is bad or it isn't. Pick one.

Says the millennial who was two years old when we went into Baghdad.

Zoomer actually. If you're gonna seethe, get it right.

It's so kino.

Ukraine haters and Israeli haters working working together to stop zionist uniparty globalist nigger lovers for all the wrong and right reasons.

Hamas is going to carry out an attack on American soil

Hypothetically if Hamas decided to attack some Jew York suburban town filled with pozzed lily white shitlibs.

Or a ghetto in Jew York filled with niggers shucking and jiving at the local crackhouse.

I have a suspicious feeling that the zionist progtards in the Biden administration would be more outraged by an attack on the crackhouse than the Vote Blue No Matter Who fags and faggettes in the suburb.
