THE GREEN IMMORALISTS
Thousands are dying from Russian missiles and bombs in the suburbs of Ukraine.
In response, the Biden Administration’s climate-change envoy, multimillionaire and private-jet owning John Kerry, laments that Russian president Vladimir Putin might no longer remain his partner in reducing global warming.
“You’re going to lose people’s focus,” Kerry frets. “You’re going to lose big-country attention because they will be diverted, and I think it could have a damaging impact”
“Impact”?
Did the global moralist Kerry mean by “impact” the over 650 Russian missiles that impacted Ukrainian buildings and tore apart children?

THE CRISIS BIDEN WANTS
The Democrats are well aware of the old adage, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” and are busy applying it as gas prices spiral out of all control.
On Monday (3/07), Transportation Secretary Pete “Mr. Mom” Buttigieg appeared to be fantastically out of touch when he responded to skyrocketing prices at the pump.
“Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American people as well,” asserted Buttigieg. “Last month, we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle charging network so that people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV.”
It was a real “Let Them Eat Cake” moment for Secretary Pete, but there is a method to his madness: the administration isn’t just out of touch, it is actively trying to use this crisis to impose its green agenda.
THIS EVIL INVASION BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE EVIL ENVIRONMENTALISTS
For more than 40 years, the environmentalist movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels and poses an “existential threat” to human and other biological life.
This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not destroy, Western civilization. It should now be obvious that the “Greens,” the environmentalist movement—not global warming—poses an existential threat to humanity.
Were it not for the green movement, Putin would not have been confident that he could get away with invading Ukraine. Main reason? During Trump’s presidency, and due to his policies, the United States became independent of foreign oil for the first time.
Immediately, starting within minutes of Biden’s inauguration by his killing the Keystone Pipeline, the Democrat Party, an extension of the environmentalist movement, forced America to revert to dependence on foreign oil, including Russian oil. Putin got the message.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY HONORING THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT
A marriage, a friendship, a close family relationship; all of our important relationships are built on countless moments, innumerable interactions that either build qualities of trust, joy, and respect - or undermine those qualities.
I want to show you what is arguably the most important moment for building a trusting, satisfying, loving relationship.
We can often think that what makes a difference in a romantic relationship, or our relationship with our kids, or other friends and relatives, are the big things; the romantic getaway for the weekend, or the great gift that we buy. But there is a moment that packs more leverage, more meaning, and more potential for doing good – or harm – than almost any other:
UKRAINE HAS WON AND PUTIN HAS LOST
The fate of a Russian column trying to enter Kyiv (3/01)
Against all the odds, Ukraine has won this war militarily. It has won because it has fought bravely and skillfully and now there is nothing Russia can do to change the political and social structure of the country.
Putin has lost big time and all he does now will create more damage against his own country than he can deliver against Ukraine. But it is unclear if he realizes or even cares about the mess Russia is in.
The destruction and murder of civilians goes on day and night, in Kharkiv and other cities, because like a petulant ex-lover, Putin wants to destroy Ukraine. It is an “if I cannot have her no-one will attitude.” But he has been jilted – it is over for him.
MAD DOG PUTIN
Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin in Sochi, January 21, 2007
Many observers are questioning the mental health of Vladimir Putin these days, and for very good reason. After all, what kind of leader engages in such brute activity toward the people of a neighboring country who have done nothing to earn his savage rage?
Yes, what sort of man?
It is high time that I publicly share a story about Putin that I’ve shared with my students for several years now, since it was first told to me. I’m publishing it here for the first time. He is Mad Dog Putin indeed.

With the price of gas, homes, and groceries out of the reach of most Americans, Biden began by taking credit for doing nothing to stop Putin from invading Ukraine. And then vowed that he, along with a coalition of “freedom loving nations” would fight Putin until the last Ukrainian.
During his unhinged tirade, Biden revealed a plan to end women’s sports in America, but failed to name one thing that would actually stop Putin. Except locking Vladimir in a room and forcing him to listen to a Biden speech.
A POUND OF UKRAINIANS
Ersatz “president” Joe Biden stumbled through his State of the Union address last night (3/01), flubbing several lines from his prepared text and ad-libbing lines that did not make sense. Here is a list of his biggest mistakes:
- Biden mistakenly says “Iranian people” instead of “Ukrainian people.”
According to his prepared text, he was supposed to say “hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.”
- Biden refers to “a pound of Ukrainian people”
Biden tried to recover saying Ukrainians were fighting “pound for pound” with “every inch of ‘urnagy'” Urnagy?
THIS IS A WATERSHED MOMENT
The most stirring and powerful address was by Ursula van der Leyen,MD, President of the European Commission, the governing body of the European Union. Above is the video of her talk, below the full text. Please consider watching and reading it entire.]
FINANCIAL BLITZKRIEGS CAN WORK!
Russia thought it would roll over Ukraine, but the West’s Financial Blitzkrieg now threatens to trigger the unravelling of Putin’s autocracy. Excellent!
This is new and exciting… We’ve invented a whole new way to wage war! And it might even work.
It only took a day – but what we’ve already learnt about Financial Blitzkrieg is you can’t have half-measures. The West surprised everyone – especially ourselves – with the scale of the weekend financial assault on Russia.
Now Europe and the West should go much further.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY THROUGH UPDATING YOUR ANCIENT PAST
There are (at least) two major qualities from our ancient past that cause us considerable trouble. Taking conscious control of them and training and updating ourselves for our present environment can make a big difference in our quality of life.
One of these is our attraction to high calorie foods. Starvation and famine were dire threats for our hunter gatherer forebears.
Our challenge is to adapt to our abundance by consciously and purposefully resetting our habits from hunter-gatherer auto-pilot eating, and toward deliberate habits that include knowledge of how our current meals will affect our future health and well-being.
The other leftover from our ancient past is our strong bias toward negativity. Jack gave me a video clip from Ukraine as an example of overcoming it.
ARE HUNTER AND HIS DAD PROUD OF THEMSLVES FOR THE WAR THEY MADE POSSIBLE?
Ukrainian woman after Russian missile attack today (2/24)
It finally happened, and everyone should have seen it coming: Russian bombs are now raining down on Kiev — and Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Odessa, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Mariupol — making Ukraine a full-blown war zone with reports of civilian and military casualties piling up.
And we have Hunter and his Dad to largely thank for it. Hunter Biden's need to take baksheesh undercut U.S. security interests, left Ukraine a corruption-soaked mess unfit for NATO membership, and opened the gates wide for Russia to move in on Ukraine.
Biden family corruption was one of many reasons why Ukraine couldn't get into NATO and secure the Article 5 protections it needed to deter Russia. Now it's fighting alone and hoping it can defeat the Russian juggernaut, which is only just beginning.
THE GATHERING STORM IN NORTH AMERICA
Demonized Heroes
[This is VDH at his most powerfully eloquent, all the way to a crescendo of eloquence at the end.]
Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing North American elite.
The truckers remind Western audiences that modern progressivism equates muscular labor and hourly wage compensation with a sort of Neanderthalism, rewarding those who type on keyboards while punishing those who physically deliver, fix, make, and repair things.
We can reduce the divide to the embarrassing optics of a pouty-face pajama-boy prime minister with a pompadour coiffure, issuing threats to non-threatening beefy and calloused workers. Each time Trudeau speaks to his nation, the visual message is that any of the truckers could do a better job than he in both setting and explaining policy, while he would become a helpless weeping child if placed behind the wheel of a big rig.
JOHN DURHAM’S MESSAGE TO AMERICA
[Note by Jack Wheeler: Keep in mind while reading this that the author is the former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI, and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). It’s a must-read.]
John Durham has been a special prosecutor for almost a year and a half — not a long time, but plenty of time for a drumbeat to begin that he was showing little progress against his orders to examine the origins of the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative that convulsed a presidency.
His few indictments so far have been directed against peripheral players, feeding a fear among Donald Trump’s supporters that elites higher up the stack are going to get away with their chicanery.
Now, however, Durham has signaled to the American people that his investigation has legs, despite perceptions of plodding inertia. He has provided hope that accountability in D.C. — rare as a MAGA sticker on a Prius — actually might happen. Here’s how he did it.
IS CANADA BECOMING CUBA?
Canada is leaving the Western world.
In terms of all-encompassing government, suppression of dissent and the denial of fundamental human rights to many of its citizens, Canada is now more similar to Cuba than to any free country. Canada may eventually return to Western Civilization, but as of this writing, the majority of Canadians appear to have no interest in it doing so.
According to Maru Public Opinion (2/17), "two-thirds (66%) of Canadians support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bringing in the Emergencies Act ... A majority (56%) of Canadians do not support the truckers who are protesting in any way, shape, or form ... This is a majority view held in every province/region across the country."
It is shocking to learn a majority of Canadians are on Trudeau’s side in the cartoon above.
PUTIN IS PLAYING BIDEN LIKE A FIDDLE
Vlad Putin, the evil though very calculating chief oligarch of the shriveled nation of Russia (when stacked against its predecessor, the Soviet Union), is playing chess over the fate of Ukraine, while our figurehead president and his gaggle of administration mediocrities (here being charitable) and Pentagon toadies play checkers.
On Monday (2/21), Putin recognized Russian-dominated regions of Ukraine, followed by a minor incursion of "peacekeepers," traveling by bus, not tanks.
Putin doesn't need a full-scale invasion, I believe, because his approach is strategic. Meanwhile, we’re witnessing full diversion mode as American news outlets happily obsess on Ukraine. Putin is playing SlowJoe like a fiddle – here’s how.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY THROUGH THE ADVENTURE OF EMPATHY
Empathy is about orienting to the reality of another person’s subjective experience. It is the desire and effort we take to understand another person. Without the attempt at understanding somebody who’s different from us (namely everyone else) we don’t have all of the data; we’re missing part of the truth.
Kindness, empathy, and understanding are what lead to much happier relationships; and happier relationships are at the heart of a happier life.
If you want to enjoy an immediate sense of happiness, the most powerful action you can take is to do something kind toward another person. If you want to give someone you care about a sense of joy, be curious about them, respond to them… listen to them.
The fundamental quality that leads to greater empathy is curiosity. Curiosity about the other person’s internal experience allows us to wonder important, meaningful things; to imagine what they might be experiencing that leads them to think or feel or behave as they do.

GOP BACKS DONALD TRUMP AGAINST “BIGGEST CRIME IN U.S. HISTORY”
Republicans are expressing fury over allegations Hillary Clinton operatives paid a contractor to spy on former President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign and into his presidency.
They are calling it the “biggest crime in U.S. history” while demanding “a total clean out of the political class in Washington.”
Taking to social media, Republican lawmakers offered critical reactions, with Trump calling the scandal “worse than Watergate.” Here are over two dozen of their spitting-mad denunciations of Democrat crimes against the President.
GLOBAL WARMING IS GLOBAL GREENING
Global warming is real. It is also beneficial.
This startling fact is kept from the public by a determined effort on the part of alarmists and their media allies who are determined to use the language of crisis and emergency.
The biggest benefit of increased CO2 emissions is global greening, the increase year after year of green vegetation on the land surface of the planet. Forests grow more thickly, grasslands more richly and scrub more rapidly. This has been measured using satellites and on-the-ground recording of plant-growth rates. It is happening in all habitats, from tundra to rainforest.
I bet Greta Thunberg did not tell you that. But TTP will… and there’s more to tell as well.
THE ANTI-ALCHEMIST
Medieval alchemists sought to turn base metals into precious metals like gold. The more the alchemists bumped into the reality that gold was an element, the more desperately they sought to find fantastic ways to fabricate the rare element out of nothing.
Joe Biden operates on the same alchemist principles. He tries to turn his record of dross into golden success. Hard to do when the prices of gas, food, and houses—the stuff of life—are collectively rising far higher than just 7.5 percent. Biden is hunting for the same magic excuses to fabricate a golden spin on crime.
Perhaps the greatest Biden catastrophe was turning an energy independent, oil and gas exporting nation into a dependent importer again. Looks like Joe wants to turn gold into trash, instead of the other way around.
WHERE’S HILLARY?
NY Post this morning 2/15
Hillary Clinton is in big trouble.
With revelations from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation that her 2016 campaign literally paid tech companies to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, the Trump residence, and the Trump White House, the question now is what kind of felony charges are coming.
Curiously, she's made herself scarce these past few days. Her normally active Twitter account has gone silent. But it doesn't mean she's hiding in shame. She's all full of defiance and mockery. At least just before the story broke.
GLOBAL COVID VACCINATION IS A CATASTROPHIC CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
From the closing weeks of 2020 through February 1, 2022, more than sixty percent of the world’s population was injected with Covid-19 vaccines.
This means that in a period of fewer than fourteen months more than 4.7 billion people received at least one Covid shot. Tens of millions received as many as four doses. To begin administering a vaccine to the general population within such a short trial period was wholly unprecedented in the annals of modern medicine.
Untold millions across the world have already suffered severe side effects from these injections in the short term. And we do not yet know what the medium- or long-term consequences may be because these vaccines have not been trialed for such time frames. The Covid-19 vaccination crusade is a global crime the like of which the world has not yet seen.

A COLOR MAP OF THE FRONTS OF WORLD WAR III
Almost forty years ago, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov warned of an assault on the West via leftist ideological subversion. Borrowing from a classic Sesame Street routine, he asked American leaders to unplug the bananas from their ears. Few heard him.
Key among those on America’s side is Kenneth Abramowitz, founder of a remarkable organization called Save The West and author of The Multifront War: Defending America from Political Islam, China, Russia, Pandemics and Racial Strife. America is up against a protean enemy of criminal intent and is unprepared to fight in any meaningful, unified way, he says.

FEARS IN MOSCOW THAT UKRAINE COULD BE PUTIN’S VIETNAM
Many Russian political commentators in recent weeks have been increasingly aggressive in suggesting that their country can easily defeat and occupy its largest western neighbor and that there is nothing the Ukrainians or the West can do about it.
But a contrary media narrative has unexpectedly sprouted up as well. Russian military and security experts cast doubt that Russia would face an easy time defeating Ukrainian forces in the field or pacifying the country after doing so. In fact, some worry that invading Ukraine could be disastrous, a Vietnam for Putin and Russia.

The ABC interview is not the only one where Lake has demonstrated this amount of conviction and poise. Her Rumble page is full of interviews with mainstream outlets attempting the same strategy as the ABC reporter that her team records. While Lake’s poise is enviable, her defense of the views of many Republican voters about the 2020 election is something all GOP candidates need to do.
OUR ELITES ARE NO ELITES AT ALL
The ideal elites, as ancient philosophers argued, were a “natural elite” due to their exemplary character, aptitude, and work ethic. Understandably, a towering few ascended from all walks of life to positions of power, influence, and occasional wealth.
Today, our elites are in those positions by embracing woke progressivism that not only cements elite membership, it also serves as an acceptable scab to mask a lack of character beneath. And a lack of competence.
We don’t quite know, for example, how we got into $30 trillion of debt, normative $2-trillion deficits, and coming runaway inflation. We only know that the 7-Eleven manager, the owner-operator truck driver, and the electrician grasp a lot more about economics than do the elite Ph.D.s who wrote, argued, and led us into this mess.

As a young man in 1988, I went on a Wheeler Expedition with Jack to the remotest part of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, where we experienced a “first contact” with a band of San Bushmen hunter-gatherers. We were the first people from the outside world they had ever met.
It was a grand adventure for me. It affected me deeply, helping put some of my priorities in perspective, and adding to my appreciation for humanity’s richness. It also inspired me later on to write a children’s book, The San People of the Kalahari.

The Democrat
If you’re a Democrat, things are going very, very badly for you. And it’s not going to get better.
According to a recent McLaughlin and Associates study, 65 percent of likely voters believe that the United States is on the wrong track. That’s hardly surprising considering the multitude of poor decisions the fascists in charge have made since taking power.
In short, Grandpa Dementia is the proverbial albatross around the necks of Democrats who were already wearing concrete boots and standing on the edge of a watery abyss.
But while everyone is focused on the federal elections—and with Trafalgar’s Congressional Generic poll showing Republicans with a nearly 14 point lead, it does look like a wipe out at that level—we shouldn’t forget the state and local level opportunities this fall.
THE COLLAPSE OF THE COVID NARRATIVE
[Note by Jack Wheeler: This explanation by Jim Stansbury is extremely and succinctly informative. Please consider sharing it with those you know. And okay, I couldn’t resist the joke lead graphic.]
Joe Biden claims this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated and wants everyone in the world vaxxed with the “safe and effective” vaccines. In addition, he plans to distribute millions of "effective" N-95 masks. Anyone paying attention knows this a Big Lie. Really Big.
Masks may be a comforting placebo, but even the N95s don’t work as advertised. And new revelations about dangerous vaccine side effects have surfaced despite media suppression.
I was taught the only way to fight a lie is with the truth. However, I also know those who placed all their hope in the big COVID lie will do whatever it takes to silence anyone who disagrees. Just ask Joe Rogan about being silenced. It is nearly impossible to overcome emotion with facts for many – but not with TTPers, so here we go.
JOE BIDEN – ENEMY OF AMERICA
From the moment Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office as president, it became clear that he had stolen the job in order to destroy America from within.
12 months later, as Border Patrol and ICE agents can attest, Biden is now a full partner in collusion with the drug and human traffickers that are the cartels. In fact, Biden is probably, it’s fair to say, the largest sex- and human trafficker on the planet right now. When will we learn where the many thousands of unaccompanied children have been shipped and to whose “care”?
The volume of fentanyl flowing into the U.S. has gone up 300%, as have overdose deaths in this country. In short, the Biden presidency is a terrible blight upon America. This president has done more damage thus far than any foreign enemy has ever done in our nation's history.
THE GREATEST GOVERNMENT FAILURE IN AMERICAN HISTORY
The tally for how much the federal government spent to combat COVID-19 is now estimated to be $5 trillion. It is more than the combined costs of World Wars I and II. The left is celebrating that politicians in Washington saved us. Really? From what exactly?
Two years later, it is time for an honest assessment. Could things have worsened for the country if the government had spent nothing and done nothing? What would have happened if we had not shut down our businesses? Our churches, schools and restaurants. Our parks, basketball courts and playgrounds.
Would the public have made worse decisions regarding protecting its health and the health of its families and its employees than the politicians have made? In a word… No.
PUTIN IS NOT DETERRED
Americans want an autonomous Ukraine to survive. They hope the West can stop Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strangulation of both Ukraine and NATO.
Yet Americans do not want their troops to venture across the world to Europe’s backyard to fight nuclear Russia to ensure that Ukraine stays independent.
With Putin’s nemesis, Trump, gone, Russia assumes the appeasement years of the Obama-Biden administration are back again. As in 2014, once more Putin is moving against his neighbors.
Where does this entire mess leave America? In trouble.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY LOOKING FOR THE BEST IN PEOPLE
As a father of adults who were once teenagers, I’m all too familiar with the popular response: “Whatever.”
I much prefer how Paul uses the word in Philippians 4: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.”
“Whatever” takes a much different tone here, doesn’t it? And it reflects a profound truth about what we bring to our own experience, and to our relationships. Whatever we think about, look for, and expect – to a much larger extent than many of us realize, this is what we will find.
By understanding and owning this concept, we can profoundly improve our effect on others, and find greater joy for ourselves in the process. Here’s how.
BIDEN’S SUPREME COURT PICK SEXUALLY ASSAULTED ME 25 YEARS AGO
The news that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring is still fresh. He won’t even officially retire until October, and the Biden administration will likely spend months vetting potential nominees.
But I can tell you right now, whoever Biden picks, they sexually assaulted me 25 years ago at a high school party. I can’t remember how I got there or how I got home. So far, the people I know who were present are telling me it didn’t happen. I may have changed my story a few times too.
But, hey, look, you can trust me. I have no agenda.
I should also let you know that Biden’s nominee, whoever it is, might have a detailed calendar proving they weren’t at the party.
Don’t believe it? Believe me!
I think I should be praised for my bravery in coming forward. I think the media must tell my story without questioning the details, and Time Magazine should profile me.
Just in case you think my memory is bad, you should know, I’m 100% certain it was… whoever Biden picks. There is zero chance I’ve mistaken them for someone else.
I feel so strongly that Biden’s nominee is too dangerous to be on the Supreme Court that I’d testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee… if I wasn’t afraid of flying.
I implore the U.S. Senate to listen to my story and give it the benefit of the doubt that similar accusations against other Supreme Court nominees have been given.
Alyssa Milano, I hope you’ll consider advocating on my behalf in public.
