The Giants and Diamondbacks have moved their Aug. 30 game to Aug. 29 and now will play a split doubleheader on that Saturday and take Sunday off. It allows the Giants to have a travel day before they return to Atlanta to play the rained out game. Avoids a logistical nightmare.

Trump is literally cooking the Islamic regime from the inside, and today we witnessed yet another public crack in the system.

Most people are completely fixated on this MoU, treating it as the main story. In reality, it is largely just a pretext, a tool being used to advance much deeper games. The real game playing out is something else entirely, and people should be looking elsewhere to understand what’s truly happening.

Few days ago, one faction of the regime’s gangsters has been faking letters supposedly from Mojtaba Khamenei to claim that negotiations with the US were personally approved by him. Others quickly learned the trick and started playing the same game.

Today, one of the rivals claimed they have access to Mojtaba’s confidential letters with the current negotiating team. It turned into a full-blown public shitshow. Honestly, it was both ridiculous and entertaining. The pigs are turning on each other.

Let me lay out the full picture for you.
Khamenei, to coup-proof his rule, massively empowered the IRGC and turned it into a powerful state-within-a-state. But then he became afraid of his own creation, so he deliberately prevented power from concentrating in any single hand and allowed different competing cartels to form inside the IRGC.

Most of the top figures in these cartels are deeply corrupt, ideology is just a facade for them.

At the same time, he personally cultivated a loyal base from the poorest and most broken layers of society: fanatical, powerless people who were extremely loyal to him personally and would attack anyone on his command like rabid dogs.

After his death, the IRGC clearly took full control of the country, but they are far from united. They’re now openly fighting each other for the real seat of power.

Trump, with his deal-making style and the huge carrot of money, especially after the naval blockade pushed them into real poverty and begging, has brilliantly pushed these corrupt elements forward.

This has created open clashes with the more ideological factions. One of these hardliner cartels belongs to Saeed Jalili and includes figures like the cleric Mahmoud Nabavian, a sitting MP.

Today, Nabavian went on state TV and announced he wanted to reveal Mojtaba Khamenei’s confidential letters criticizing the negotiating team and the current deal. He started reading them live, but they cut him off mid-sentence. The network later called it a serious violation, announced legal action, and even one of the directors resigned and was rebuked.

This was their last desperate attempt to stop the negotiating team from reaching Geneva. But it failed. Just hours later, the other side, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and his crew, still made it to Geneva.

A few days ago, they even put the approval of this Memorandum of Understanding to a vote in the Supreme National Security Council. Everyone approved it except one person, and many believe that lone dissenter was Saeed Jalili, from the same cartel as Nabavian.

Meanwhile, another IRGC cartel, Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, tried to sabotage the surrenderist negotiators’ trip to Geneva by claiming they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM immediately clapped back and said the Strait is wide open (and ships are moving freely). Perfect own-goal.

Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He understands these animals better than anyone. He’s weakening the regime from within, without firing a single shot. Just as he predicted, as soon as the corrupt ones smelled real money, they sold out the entire regime and its ideology without hesitation.

Let the man cook, trust the process.

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just release 1,600 pages of documents on her last day in office. She exposed something far uglier: the intelligence community didn’t investigate the lab leak. They built a protective cocoon around Anthony Fauci and called it national security.

They had the evidence early. A May 2020 report from Lawrence Livermore laid it out plainly ... all the conditions for an accidental release of a lab-modified coronavirus were already present at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Precursor viruses. Reverse genetics work. ACE2 receptor testing. Biosafety failures. It was all there.

Instead of following that evidence, they let the man who approved the funding for that research steer the entire origins discussion across 18 intelligence agencies.

Fauci didn’t just offer opinions. He shaped the narrative, suppressed dissent, and later lied to Congress about his involvement. And the agencies went along with it.

Whistleblowers who tried to push back were retaliated against. The institutions that were supposed to protect the country chose to protect one well-connected bureaucrat instead. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a decision.

Corporate media is pretending this never happened. They won’t even touch it. That silence tells you exactly whose side they were on.

This is bigger than Fauci. This is proof that when the truth threatened powerful people inside the system, the system circled the wagons and buried the evidence. Tulsi just ripped the cocoon open. Now we’ll see who tries to sew it back shut.

Oh, history…🤔

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

"Twenty months have elapsed, but the rebellion is not crushed out; its military power has not been broken; the insurgents have not dispersed. The Union is not restored; nor the Constitution maintained; nor the laws enforced . . . after nearly two years of more vigorous prosecution of war than ever recorded in history; you have utterly, signally, disastrously—I will not say ignominiously—failed to subdue ten millions of ‘rebels,’ whom you had taught the people of the North and West not only to hate, but to despise. … You have not conquered the South. You never will. It is not in the nature of things possible; much less under your auspices. But money you have expended without limit, and blood poured out like water. Defeat, debt, taxation, sepulchres, these are your trophies . . . The war for the Union is, in your hands, a most bloody and costly failure."

Democrat Senator Clement L. Vallandigham said this on January 14, 1863 about President Abraham Lincoln.

Some things never change.

When the price of gas went up Biden blamed the oil companies for not producing more oil.

Biden then went to Saudi Arabia and begged them to release more oil.

Then he used our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.

Now he's bragging about making sure that oil companies couldn't drill.

Essentially what has happened is that the decaying political establishment has imported millions of migrants from alien cultures that are entirely incompatible with the British way of life.

Those migrants have colonised large parts of our country, and live their lives how they choose to do so because our authorities are too frightened of being called racist to challenge them.

That has meant attitudes have flourished and spread which, in short, treat women and non-Muslims like shit.

And yes, I do mean that.

Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians are all directly responsible for this vast importation. Personally, I will never forgive anyone responsible.

Vulnerable working class white girls were treated like a piece of meat. Raped, abused, tortured, murdered. It was a racial attack, and it was a coordinated attack. All across Britain.

They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white.

Until the political class accepts that fact, nothing will EVER change.

These men do not live by the same rules as us - it is all beyond evil. And this is a coordinated network of organised crime right across the country. It is not random groups of scumbags doing this. It is a network. Organised. Ruthless. Efficient. It is an industry.

This is not homegrown. We imported it. We welcomed it. Embraced it. We continue to do so.

That was a choice.

Reversing it is also a choice. One we will make.

A Restore Britain Government will remove millions of foreign nationals who hate our way of life and have no reason to be in our country. Gone, and never allowed back.

With the British people’s approval, we will reintroduce the death penalty.

If a Pakistani man has been gang-raping a young English girl? Torturing her? Passing her around his brothers to also be raped?

We will put him to death. And I look forward to that. I really do.

Our report has outlined exact recommendations on what needs to be done to eradicate this cancer.

A Restore Britain Government will deliver it.

We will use the full force of the British state to crack down on these rapists and their enablers in the most brutal fashion imaginable. It will be swift and ruthless. It will be done, finally.

And I include their enablers in that.

That is why Farage tried to put me in prison. Because I wanted to deport complicit foreign family members. He found that so very extreme - admitting it on national television. Simply remarkable.

Hearing the evidence and testimonies provided to our inquiry, I can assure you that I am holding a moderate position.

I want the scumbags gone. Deported. Never allowed back.

For the very worst among them, I want them permanently removed.

Restore Britain will get called extreme, racist, islamophobic and whatever else by the Guardian, Farage, Nadine Dorries, the BBC, the Daily Mail, Zack Polanski.

I do not give a shit.

I am just grateful that there is finally a political party with the courage to do what needs to be done.

We are going to get our country back.

We are going to Restore Britain.

INSANE 🚨 Michigan election officials were ordered to destroy public election records just 7 days after certification

Federal law requires preserving records for 22 months

- Nearly 500,000 mismatched votes in Michigan
- 90,000 extra absentee ballots in Michigan
- 22,534 mismatched votes in Fulton County
- Waived signature verification requirement for absentee ballots
- Placeholder voter data used in Fulton County
- Late-night ballot surges with no chain of custody

“That’s a direct violation of U.S. Code Title 52 — This isn’t isolated. It happened in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and it’s still happening”

To give you some context on who’s speaking, this is Patrick Colbeck. He’s a former Michigan State Senator so he knows what he’s talking about

He even served on as Vice Chair of Elections and Government Reform Committee
