HALF-FULL REPORT 08/19/22
As they say, “Do you want the good news or the bad news first?” Okay, the good news.
The DemFascist “Inflation Explosion Act” passed late last Friday (8/12). On Tuesday (8/16), Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) published an “Open Letter to American Job Seekers” warning them: “Don’t Work for Biden’s IRS Army.”
“These new positions at the IRS will not offer you the long-term job stability you may expect from a position with the federal government. Put another way: this will be a short-term gig. Republicans will take over the House and Senate in January, and I can promise you that we will immediately do everything in our power to defund this insane and unwarranted expansion of government into the lives of the American people.”
You can bet your bippy that’s exactly what they’ll do because they, along with a very large majority of voters, are in a state of rage over this. This is good news you can count on.
The bad news? Every psephologist in DC is predicting red wave in November, if not a tsunami, especially in the House. Dozens of House Dems are vulnerable and knew they would be far more so by voting for 87,000 more IRS agents – and they were right, every GOP candidate running against them is hammering away right now on their unconscionable vote.
Yet every single House Dem, all 220 without a single exception, voted for it. There is only one reasonably possible explanation: Pelosi assured them all that the fix is in, it’s fully rigged, taken care of just like it was in 2020.
Maybe Pelosi was lying – but House Dems were reassured she wasn’t when they saw what happened to hyper-woke LA County District Attorney George Gascón on Monday (8/15). The recall petition for the November ballot got 150,000 more signatures than needed – but the DemFascist crooks who run the county recorder’s office disqualified 200,000.
It was done this way: Los Angeles Bans Observers From Watching George Gascon Recall Count.
In other words, Dem cheating is now in broad daylight for everyone to see. Getting away with stealing the presidency of the United States has given them carte blanche on cheating however and wherever they want.
What happened in Los Angeles County on Monday is terrifying – it’s the cheating canary singing in America’s electoral coal mine. Pelosi may be right about having enough House seats rigged to keep her majority.
And this November is for all the marbles, it really is do-or-die for America. Scariest of all is what happens if there is a widespread conviction that our election system is irretrievably corrupt. Then the only alternative to the ballot box is the cartridge box.
Mind you, there has been only one armed revolution in history that replaced tyranny with freedom instead of more of the same – ours in 1776. History does not repeat itself. So please pray that Pelosi’s calculations are wrong.

In the meantime – this was a fun week. Topping the list is HH – Harriet Hageman – obliterating Obnoxious Liz by 37 points. 113,000 to 49,000 votes, what a wipeout. POTUS celebrated:
Then there’s the Mashed Potato. Announced yesterday (8/18), CNN has fired their chief Trump-hater, Mr. Potato Head himself, Brian Stelter and canceled his show Reliable Sources which was anything but.
This after CNN’s new CEO Chris Licht replaced Trump-hater Jeff Zucker and fired Chris “Fredo” Cuomo. Today everyone’s asking, “Is Don Lemon next?”
Here’s how the Babylon Bee reported it:
The Bee’s motto is “Fake news you can trust” – and notes that “Everything about Brian Stelter is fake news… including his initials.”
Now let’s move on to…
************
Is this no accident, Comrades?
That is, could Trump be playing Merrick Garland like a fiddle, suckering him into siccing FBI fascisti into an illegal raid on his home?
There’s all this media talk of the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation having a “mole” in Mar-a-Lago. Latest is Red State’s Did a Family Member Implicate Trump? Top Aides Think the Answer Is Yes (8/18). It’s impossibly stupid, even suspecting Melania is the mole. Trust me, the Trumps are ROTFLMAO over this.
No, it looks like the Mar-a-Lago mole is Trump’s, not the FBI’s, telling them exactly where the boxes of documents were in which Trump planted land mines the FBI and DOJ could step on. In addition to attorney/client privileged communications, he planted his distinctive passports: Trump Team Drops Email Proving FBI Wrongly Seized Passports After Media, DOJ Attempted to Mislead Public with Spin.
Why would Trump do this? To achieve exactly what’s happening.
Garland and Wray are puppets of the same Deep State string-pullers of Biden. They are terrified of him and want to destroy him through indictment and conviction by a DC Dem-rigged jury. So Trump sets them up, his mole telling them they’ll find damnable classified nuclear war documents and such.
Of course, there was nothing like that to be found, the agents acted illegally, it’s on security camera video (which Trump now says he’ll release in his next move), the raid has electrified the GOP electorate, while the Daily Mail reports this morning (8/19): Majority of American voters now agree that the FBI is ‘Biden’s Gestapo’ after the controversial raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
Remember that 1980s TV series The A-Team, and George Peppard’s famous tagline, “I love it when a plan comes together”? So does Donald Trump.

Michael Shellenberger asks the Rhetorical Question of the Week on Monday (8/15): Why Is The UN Promoting A Kind Of Food Production Proven To Reduce Yields, Raise Prices, And Topple Governments?
“Today the world is in its worst food crisis since 2008. The number of people suffering acute food insecurity increased by 25% since January 2022 to 345 million, according to the United Nations World Food Programme. Why, then, is the UNEP trying to steer nations away from fertilizers that increase food production?”
He well knows the answer: Because UNEP is run by global warming religious fanatics who care more about power than people starving. Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is starving and disintegrating because of it. So he concludes by asking:
“Why is the United Nations promoting a kind of food production proven to reduce yields, raise prices, and topple governments? And what can be done to stop it?”
The answer is by a GOP-majority House refusing to fund the $300 billion Climate Change Hoax greenie welfare in the Inflation Explosion Act. It’s Solyndra on almost 3 orders of magnitude. Hundreds of billions in subsidized Dem donor Third World unreliable green power fiascos.
The only thing that really is going to “Save the Planet,” i.e., human civilization, is for a GOP Congress and ultimately a President like Trump who knows it’s a hoax to drive a stake through the heart of Warmism as an unadulterated Fascist Lie and kill it dead.
One more reason of the life-or-death necessity of having honest elections in November to sweep this DemFascist Congress into the dustbin of history.
************
As you are reading this, there’s another power of fascist evil being swept into that dustbin: Putin’s Russia.
Yesterday (8/18), The Hill (meaning Capitol Hill) disclosed, Putin’s On The Brink.
”Putin’s most dangerous ‘bad bet’ is now unfolding. With the destruction of the bridges necessary to resupply and/or reinforce them, the 20,000 Russian troops on the west bank of the Dnipro River are trapped, effectively surrounded by Ukrainian forces without the capability to break out or to fight for any extended period of time.
All this makes Putin’s internal situation worse, as more and more members of Russia’s power ministries focus on his ongoing — and disastrous — mistakes. Eventually, a critical mass of Russia’s decision-making elites (those with guns or money) will conclude that the country needs to cut its losses by withdrawing its forces from Ukraine, because doing so would be a precondition for the removal of Western sanctions and allowing Russia to rebuild its army and economy.”
But it’s worse than that. Not only are 20K Russkies trapped on the other side (west bank) of the Dnipro in Kherson, but Ukraine has begun blowing up so many ammo depots, airfields, and command centers in Crimea itself (seized by Putin in 2014), that they are madly escaping Crimea for Russia proper.
Forbes (8/16): The Ukrainians Have Struck Another Russian Airfield In Crimea.
8/17: Satellite Images Show the Destroyed Russia’s Military Base Near Dzhankoy in Crimea.
8/18: Russian Aviation Flees From Crimea: Where the Enemy Planes Based Now.
8/18: Multiple Explosions Rock Russia’s Crimean Port City Of Sevastopol.
And Forbes again yesterday (8/18): Blasts Rock Russian Bases All Around Ukraine As Kyiv Strikes With Rockets And Drones.
If 20K Russian troops surrender in Kherson and the Russian command bails from Crimea, the war is over with a massive Ukraine victory. Which is why Putin may in total desperation blow up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe, totally controlled by Russians, causing a radiation catastrophe far worse than Chernobyl – and blame it on Ukraine.
That will seal Putin’s doom. And Russia’s – and the opposite for Ukraine.

In closing, I need to quote TTPer Mike Ryan on the Forum. In response to Jacob Fraden’s extraordinary “What’s In Store for Russia?” on Tuesday (8/16), he commented:
“At the risk of sounding like a dreaded neocon, Is the problem cultural (nurture) or is it the result of 1,000 years of natural selection (nature)?
A North American region with a similar culture [to Russia’s] of enduring feudalism is the upper Mississippi Delta, in the black belt south of Memphis and running south along the river.
After more than a century and a half and with endless huge federal handouts, the slave mentality remains deeply entrenched in the Delta.
Manager:worker ratios are 1:4 there, while 1:17 is more common elsewhere in the USA. Alcoholism is endemic in 30% of the workers. This means that the Delta is an extraordinarily expensive place to do business even though the labor rates are low. Just like in Russia.
The USA has thrown every sociological, financial, educational, managerial, and spiritual tool we have at the Delta and it is still stuck in its pre- industrial revolution feudalism. It does not appear that tools from the nurture menu have much impact on hundreds of years of nature.
Somehow, based on America’s experience with the Delta, another century to overcome the lingering Russian feudal mentality does not seem long enough. The Soviets bet the farm on human animal husbandry – what we call diversity – to make their New Socialist Man, but only made things worse by interbreeding the Muscovy culture and gene pool into each of their federal republics and oblasts.
Where once you could scratch a Russian and find a Tartar, now, after Stalin, you scratch a Russian and find a feudal Muscovite.
On top of the alcohol problem endemic in feudalistic cultures, the rate of Russian opiate addiction is 5x the American rate. Russia simply can’t muster a modern workforce at scale.”
And in response to one of Skye’s Links yesterday, Electric Vehicles May Present Major Problem During Natural Disaster Evacuations: Experts, Mike commented:
“This past May’s major disaster exercise covering parts of British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon, and Northern California was abruptly cancelled by Biden’s FEMA.
The cancellation trigger was the emergence of extensive public and government paralysis in large part due to stranded electric vehicles and critically compromised passengers.
The simulated repeat of the year 1700 tsunami and Cascadia Fault earthquake destroyed runways and forced a ground-based logistics response.
Three out of every five people died in the simulation, with 20 million deceased bodies feeding giant swarms of flies within the first week. The simulation became very ugly before the plug was pulled.
Own an EV in the Northwest? You will die if the Cascadia Fault does its thing and you can’t self-rescue.

Such observations epitomize the exceptional value of To The Point – for where else could you find such insights?
I am so very appreciative of all TTPers who share their knowledge and insights on the Forum. Mike is spotlighted in the HFR now as a heads-up that he will be manning the HFR helm while I am making a living running expeditions and explorations in Ireland, Central Asia, Portugal and the Himalayas during September and October.
Mike will be raising the HFR bar on me, I’m sure. Thanks, Mike – and thanks to our entire TTP Family.
