Further purchases confirm that, June 2020 excepted, it is the two Million MAGA Marches that were apparently followed by a flurry of bomb-part procurement activity by Cole—in both cases *before* anyone outside Stop the Steal leadership knew January 6 was coming. Very interesting.

Really interesting that Cole made a bomb-part purchase two days after the Million MAGA March in DC on November 14, 2020 (purchase: November 16) and then scoped out his intended target in DC two days after the Second Million MAGA March in DC on December 12, 2020 (stakeout: December 14).
What timing!

People in Ohio and Michigan - important info about the explosion of data center expansion. I know SE Michigan is battling this now as well.
Citizens nationwide and in NW Ohio are asking important questions on data centers. They're worried that facilities demand massive amounts of energy, eat up farmland, cede local ownership and control, and drive up utility costs even more. Ask questions first!

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

In Europe and Canada, they explore plans to stop the attempts of Trump & Putin to pillage Ukraine.
The options:
- A military Plan B that keeps Ukraine armed even if the US ghosts the alliance;
- Using their trillions in U.S. government debt to shake the foundations of the American financial system.

If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.

Grocery bills tell the truth Trump won’t: he promised lower prices, but costs keep climbing.
Biden knew—EVERYONE knows—broad-based tariffs and economic uncertainty are pocketbook poison, but Trump does what he wants, and families pay the price.

WTF! I don't get it. How do you finish a run on a damaged boat? How do you even tell that's their intention when they're clinging to the boat. Where would that intel come from.? And if they have such intel, why aren't they stopping the boat from leaving port to begin with? None of it adds up.
