DOING THEIR JOBS
“The latest viral outrage over photographs of Border Patrol agents 'whipping' (now-moved) Haitian migrants with horse reins has just been debunked by the man who took the photo.”
FLASHBACK FRIDAY – THE CRUSADER FORTRESS IN THE CAUCASUS
This is the fortress town of Shatili in an extremely remote Caucasus region in Georgia called Khevsureti. It was built by the Crusaders 1,000 years ago. The Khevsur people who live here trace their ancestry back to these Crusaders and until the 1930s still wore chain mail in feud-battles with other towns. I took this picture in 1991.
American traveler Richard Halliburton (1900–1939) saw and recorded the customs of the Khevsurs in 1935. The Khevsur men, dressed in chain mail and armed with broadswords, wore garments full of decoration made up of crosses and icons. They don’t do that anymore, but they proudly retain their Crusader Christian heritage – for Georgia adopted Christianity in the 4th century AD.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/24/21
You may have seen this meme before, but it’s here now as it explains every single one of the multiple disasters currently befalling our America.
It was Xi who carefully wove a web of blackmail around their puppet using his utterly corrupt drug-addict son, so that once installed in the Oval Office, the puppet would follow orders to unleash a cornucopia of catastrophes upon America – all with the unwavering support of key media/social media leaders and influencers on the Chicom payroll.
Yes, all this is treason. The man inaugurated as President of the United States is a bona fide traitor to his country. To what extent those in cahoots with him are knowing accomplices or merely useful idiots only time will tell.
What the coming chaos of the next few weeks will tell is whether the Xiden Presidency will survive or not.
LET THE DEMS DROWN
There is a basic reality in Washington. Democrats have a slim margin in the United States House of Representatives and no margin in the United States Senate. In the House, Democrats can lose roughly three votes for their agenda. In the Senate, Democrats can lose no votes.
Now the Democrats are squabbling amongst themselves over infrastructure, a continuing resolution, and a debt ceiling. They have no unity within their ranks on these issues. Now, they have a bold new strategy — expect Republicans to throw them a lifeline to avoid a government shutdown and a debt ceiling through which the United States runs off a fiscal cliff.
Let. Dems. Drown. Give the Democrats no lifeline.

Dave Mustaine
Most TTPers are not heavy metal rock fans, so may not know how immensely popular one of its founders, Dave Mustaine, and his band Megadeth, are with much of young America. Last Friday night (9/17) at a sell-out concert in Camden, New Jersey, Mustaine condemned “mask tyranny”:
“See, the thing right now that’s going on, is tyranny. This is called tyranny. And tyranny isn’t only in government. Tyranny right now is in the schools, and tyranny is in the medical business… And we have the power to push back against it.”
To which the ecstatic crowd chanted “USA! USA! USA!” and “F*** Joe Biden! F*** Joe Biden!” The revolt is gaining strength:

The vax litmus test and the subsequent witch hunt for and purge of the politically unreliable scapegoats:
They Are Creating The Biggest Witch Hunt In American History
THE POLISH SAVIOR OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
On September 12, 1683, Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IV as the Caliph of all Islam was on the verge of realizing the great Moslem dream of conquering all of Christian Europe for the glory of Allah. The great obstacle in his way – the city of Vienna – was about to be overwhelmed by the Sultan’s gigantic army of 140,000 Islamic Taliban of their day.
On the Kahlenberg hilltop above Vienna, the commander of the Christian forces, King Jan III Sobieski of Poland, gave the order to attack. Twenty thousand armed horsemen galloped down the slopes of Kahlenberg, the largest cavalry charge in history, with the Polish King and his Winged Hussars in the lead. The cavalry trampled the Ottomans and made straight for their camps.
Ottoman commander Kara Mustafa fled out of his tent and barely escaped with his life (it didn’t last long – the Sultan ordered him strangled). With the Christian victory at The Battle of Vienna, the Moslem threat to Europe was over. Sobieski wrote a letter to Pope Innocent XI, paraphrasing Julius Caesar:
“Venimus, Vidimus, Deus vincit” – “We came, We saw, God conquered.”
In turn, the Pope hailed Sobieski as “The Savior of Western Christendom.” Indeed he was, and still is so revered by the Polish people to this day – with no apology.
For the people of Poland stand out among those of all Europe for their pride in being part of Western Civilization – symbolized for them by this statue of their Hero King trampling the Ottomans in the beautiful Royal Baths Park in Warsaw. They will make sure visitors to the statue note that underneath the right forearm of the fallen Turkish soldier is a book – the Koran.
You owe it to yourself to visit Poland and meet the Polish champions of Christian liberty, having freed themselves from the Ottomans, the Russians, and the Soviets. We need more like them today. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #159 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
THE LION ROCK OF SIGIRIYA
Rising 600 feet above the jungles of central Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is a gigantic rock column revered for millennia as Sigiriya – Lion Rock from Sanskrit. It’s flat on top, used over centuries as a Buddhist monastery and a fortress by kings. In 480, King Kashyapa had the image of a lion carved into the rock as the entrance gate to his fortress-palace on top. All that’s left are the lion’s paws that you see.
It was a risky climb via stone stairs carved into the rock getting to the top. Today there’s a much safer wooden staircase. It’s a pilgrimage site for Sri Lankans where they get to celebrate their history and enjoy the gorgeous view on top. It’s a marvelous experience for you to participate in.

A SEA OF MISERY OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS
"A sea of misery of biblical proportions" is how Steve Bannon described the humanitarian crisis on the southern border.
Within hours of his inauguration, President Biden stopped the building of the border wall and made it clear to all comers around the world that our border is open. He invited all those migrants who have arrived from all over the world to enter what the Left swears is an irreparably racist nation.
There are hardly words to adequately describe the damage done to America since Biden took office, both here and among our soon-to-be former allies. It sure seems as though he is doing China's bidding. At China’s direction, Biden seems determined to turn all of America into a sea of misery.
AMERICAN MAOISM
“Never forget class struggle!” proclaimed Mao in Fall 1962 at the Chinese Communist Party’s annual retreat. This maxim quickly became the fevered chant of the day, paving the way for the Cultural Revolution resulting in the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese.
Modified into “Never forget race struggle!,” the command has the same appeal in today’s Woke America.
As a student of the totalitarianism of Mao’s China—which was exceptionally effective in peddling propaganda and staging performances of feigning, preening, and indignation—I find Woke America’s reinvention of Maoism fascinating and terrifying. Mao is the unsung hero for contemporary CRT intellectuals.
THE DEATH OF SCIENCE
The Woke Are Waging War on Science
The scientific method used to govern much of popular American thinking.
In empirical fashion, scientists advised us to examine evidence and data, and then by induction come to rational hypotheses. The enemies of “science” were politics, superstition, bias, and deduction.
Yet we are now returning to our version of medieval alchemy and astrology in rejecting a millennium of the scientific method.
Take the superstitions that now surround COVID-19, aka the Communist Chinese Virus.
