By the way, we now have indisputable evidence that senile Joe Biden ordered the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home in Florida. daniel_g reports:
Although Biden has repeatedly denied ordering the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, court documents reveal otherwise.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday granted Trump’s request to appoint a Special Master to review the documents seized by the FBI during the August 8th raid.
The ruling “temporarily enjoins” or forbids the Biden Administration from “reviewing and using the seized materials” in the DOJ’s investigation of Trump until the review is completed.
“In pages 2-3 of the ruling, Judge Cannon revealed that the Biden regime actually ORDERED the FBI raid to seize documents in Mar-a-Lago,” Infowars reported.
Ninikitty reports for NewsBreak that in the early morning hours on a Saturday in August, 2022, Officer Mark Knighten of Pelham Police Department, Alabama, saw a young black man sitting by the side of the road.
Knighten stopped to find out why.
The young man, Walter Carr, said that this was his first day of work at the Bellhops moving company in a location nearly 20 miles from his house, but his car had broken down the night before. This left him with only one option to get there: Walk.
So Carr left his house in Homewood at midnight, after sleeping for four hours, and began the trek to the home of the family he was going to help move.
Along the way, Carr sat down because his legs were hurting. That was when he was stopped by Officer Knighten. He told the officer that he had eight to 10 miles left to go in the journey and was determined to make it to his first day of work: “I didn’t want to defeat myself.”
Officers Carl Perkinson and Klint Rhodes pulled up shortly after. All three officers took the young man to breakfast.
At 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning, another officer, Scott Duffey, brought Carr to the home of Jenny Lamey, where Carr would help her family move.
Duffey told Lamey about Carr’s trek.
“My heart just stopped,” Lamey told ABC News. She said she offered Walter food and a couch to lie down on until 8:00 a.m. until the rest of the Bellhops crew arrived, but he insisted they get to work.
Lamey said she thought about his all-night walk and how he now would lift heavy boxes in the excruciating heat and it blew her away. “I burst into tears a couple times,” she said.
Lamey said she learned more that impressed her about Carr. He said he was supposed to be receiving his Associate’s degree later this year, and then he would be shipped off to boot camp with the Marines. When he was 5 years old, he and his mother lost their home in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
Lamey found a way to get in contact with Bellhops CEO, Luke Marklin. She shared the story on Facebook and set up a GoFundMe to raise money for Walter to fix his car.
But CEO Marklin had something else in mind. “Walter is incredible, and what he did is incredible,” Marklin told ABC News. “It’s everything our company stands for.”
Marklin drove from his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Homewood, Alabama, to meet Carr for lunch in a hotel. Carr walked 30 minutes to meet Marklin.
When he arrived, the entire group — Marklin, Lamey and the police officers — were there and Marklin gave him the keys to the Ford Escape SUV he drove to Alabama. “Walter truly raised the bar,” Marklin said.
Lamey said her family will be inspired by him whenever they have tough times. “He’s like the poster boy for no excuses,” she said. “He’s just got this deep faith, he wasn’t alone.”
Walter Carr said he was so happy that he had touched people with his story and that he was blessed to bless others.
The Anatolian or Kangal Shepherd dog is a historic Turkish breed of large livestock guardian dog native to eastern Turkey.
While the Kangal Shepherd Dog is often referred to as a sheep dog, it is not a herding dog, but rather a guardian who lives and bonds with the flock of sheep to actively fend off predators of all sizes and hunt them down.
With adults reaching 132 lbs and 31″ high, the Kangal shepherd is widely regarded as having the most powerful bite force of all domestic dogs. Typically used as protection against wolves, bears, and jackals in its native Turkey, the breed has been exported to African countries like Namibia and Kenya in more recent years due to its intimidating size and capabilities as an effective guardian, where it successfully protects local herds from lions, cheetahs, and similar indigenous big cats, which has had the benefit of not only protecting livestock, but ensuring the continuity of endangered predators due to reduced cullings by local farmers.

Kevin Stocklin reports for The Epoch Times: that both businesses and residents are fleeing blue states into red states:
As a result of its political divisions, the United States appears to now be dividing itself into prosperous, high-growth states and states that are suffering a chronic decline….
Caterpillar and Citadel, which announced their exit from Illinois in June, are only the latest firms to leave high-tax, high-regulation states. Tesla, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and Remington are also among the hundreds of companies flocking out of California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey to business-friendly places such as Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Tennessee. Relocating companies have spanned industries including tech, finance, media, heavy manufacturing, autos, and firearms.
“There is a great migration going on, and I expect it to accelerate,” Glen Hamer, president of the Texas Association of Business, told The Epoch Times. “When the Caterpillars and the Elon Musks relocate, it’s an advertisement to the entire country and the entire world that something positive is going on in that state. And there is a multiplier effect.”
According to a 2022 survey of 700 CEOs, the top states for business are Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, and North Carolina. The worst states for business were California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Washington.
Even companies such as Apple, which didn’t move its headquarters to Texas, chose to establish its second-largest campus for employees there. Amazon selected Houston as one of its prime hubs. Ford, Volkswagen, and Nissan chose Tennessee as the location for major new manufacturing facilities. And in some cases, entire industries, such as firearms, which are being targeted by legislation and lawsuits in blue states, are moving south….
When jobs leave, people leave with them. According to the U.S. Census, Democrat-run states California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and Illinois together lost 4 million people between 2010 and 2019, the so-called leftugees. During the same period, the states with the greatest influx of people were Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Arizona….
Florida attracted 624,000 new residents in 2020, along with more than $40 billion in income, equating to an estimated $23.7 billion in new tax income. Florida has enjoyed two decades of net in-migration, amounting to a total income gain of $197 billion….
According to a report based on IRS data by Wirepoints, an Illinois-based economic research organization, the cost of losing companies and people is stark for states such as Illinois, which has seen decreases in its population for 21 straight years.
Since 2000, that state has lost a total of $535 billion in income that moved away, which equates to about $25 billion in lost tax revenue during that period, and $4 billion in 2020 alone. Illinois’ problems include a loss of 114,000 residents in 2021, a string of 21 consecutive years of state budget deficits, a $313 billion deficit in public pensions, and the second-highest property tax rates in the country.
“Illinois is stuck in a vicious downward spiral it can’t hope to escape from without fundamentally changing how it governs,” the Wirepoints report reads. “Structural property tax reform, reductions in pension debt, slashing units of local government—the state needs to do all these things if it wants to convince Illinoisans to stay and persuade other Americans to move in.”
Reducing violent crime would also help. Escalating crime was reportedly a factor, one among many, in Citadel’s decision to leave Chicago for Miami.
This exodus has many consequences and implications, one of which is the hardening of the Left-Right division in America as blue states get even bluer with the loss of conservative voters, while red states get redder with the addition of conservative escapees.
