Truth Social, the fast-growing social platform launched by former President Donald Trump, is nearing completion of a Web application that will open the product to millions more customers.

Over the weekend, Truth Social urged potential customers to sign up for the soon to be released Web app.

"Want a sneak preview of the brand new Truth Social Web App? Sign up here for the chance to beta test from any device," it said, sending customer to a signup link. "While we won't be able to accommodate everyone, we’ll do our best to add as many interested users as possible."

Truth Social first launched earlier this year on the Apple iOS smart phone platform, but Trump Media and Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes told Just the News last month that the Web app would provide a major expansion to customers who use Android or Microsoft smart devices or prefer desktop and laptop computers for their social media activities.

"Right now we're on Apple. And we're shortly we're going to be coming out so you can access it anywhere on the web," Nunes said. "So no matter what kind of device you have, you're gonna be able to access that on the web. We just want to make sure ... that we're not only high quality, but also very reliable."

During this meeting, members will be voting on amendments that will ultimately cede additional sovereignty, control and legal authority over to the World Health Organization. This means we will be giving up our sovereignty and rights to control our own healthcare to an international globalist organization. This is very serious and very urgent.

Kash Patel: Newly Released FBI Notes Expose Their Own Lies and Conspiracy Against Trump | Kash’s Corner

“In March of 2017 … [then-FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe] is admitting—in a meeting with the team running the Russiagate investigation—that there is no connection between Alfa Bank and Trump Tower,” according to newly released FBI notes, says Kash Patel.

These handwritten FBI and DOJ notes incriminate top officials and expose a conspiracy against Donald Trump, Kash says.

“As the lead Russiagate investigator, I never saw these notes. We asked for them. And they told us—they, the Department of Justice, the FBI—told us they did not exist.”

In this episode, Kash explains what he’s found in these newly released documents and why the judge’s recent order in the Michael Sussmann case was not a huge blow to special counsel John Durham’s case, unlike what many have claimed.

Kash and Jan also take a look at the firestorm of protests occurring outside the homes of Supreme Court justices since the leak of a draft ruling on Roe v. Wade. Will the justices be influenced?

Kathy Barnette Can Win in the General Election

by JD RUCKER May 13, 2022 in Opinions, The Midnight Sentinel

https://jdrucker.com/kathy-barnette-can-win-in-the-general-election/

When Republicans make choices to vote for a candidate based on their stances, credentials, personality, or any other valid criteria, I never hold it against them. We may disagree, but one of the beauties of our constitutional republic lies in the way individual voters judge candidates. It’s the job of candidates, their campaigns, and their supporters to make cases for them and against their opponents. Whoever does the best at this generally wins.

There is only one criteria that chaps my khakis when cited by conservatives as their reasoning for voting for or against someone: Electability. While I completely understand the surface-level logic behind it, the Republican Establishment uses this as their primary angle of attack against America First patriots they don’t like. That’s why when I hear people say U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette from Pennsylvania is unelectable, I shake my head.

Let’s look at reality. Those in corporate “conservative” media at Fox News, Newsmax, Breitbart, and others are playing the “baggage” card against her. They are playing on the gullibility of Republican voters who fall for the Republican Establishment’s scam over and over again. If it were true that “baggage” based on past remarks or controversial opinions were disqualifying, then Donald J. Trump would never have won the primaries, let alone the 2016 and 2020 elections (the latter of which was stolen, of course).

By the Republican Establishment’s standards, Ron DeSantis and Greg Gianforte should never have won their gubernatorial elections. Like Trump, DeSantis and Gianforte had major baggage attached to them, FAR more than what’s being attached to Barnette. By the Republican Establishment’s standards, Mitt Romney and John McCain should have won their presidential elections while Jeb Bush should have been the 2016 presidential nominee.

Their standards are dead wrong. It’s a con. It has been proven time and again that their semi-logical but mostly flawed approach to primary candidate selection is the antithesis of how elections actually play out. We need bold candidates who paint with bright colors, not people like Dr. Mehmet Oz whose policy stances are bland pastels. He likes to stay on the fence on nearly every issue because he fears controversy. He wants to seem electable.

Those who don’t want to vote for Kathy Barnette because they don’t like the things she’s said in the past or they believe her resume is questionable are absolutely fine in my book. You’ve done your research and you chose a different candidate, which I absolutely respect and even admire. I disagree, but we don’t have to agree on the right path for every issue. We love America and we want to make things better, so I have no ill will to those who make that choice. We will still fight side-by-side against the radical leftists regardless of how the primary on Tuesday turns out.

However, those who think they’re doing the right thing to beat the Democrats by picking the “strategic” choice of someone with less baggage do not earn my respect. They are the gullible people who allow the Republican Establishment to stay in power. They are the people who encouraged Donald Trump to surround himself with “strategic” choices like H.R. McMaster, Rex Tillerson, John Kelly, Mike Pence, Omarosa, Anthony Scaramucci, Mark Esper, Jim Mattis, John Bolton, Jeff Sessions, and Reince Priebus.

Anyone who thinks Kathy Barnette has too much baggage to win in the general election denies what Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Greg Gianforte, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and Lauren Boebert taught us in recent years.

As I noted in a previous article, the rumor spread by Sean Hannity and others that she had an “embarrassing” loss to a “weak” Democrat in the 2020 congressional race is absolutely false:

What Hannity doesn’t mention is that the “weak” Democrat was Madeleine Dean, a Democrat incumbent in a very blue district. Compared to Dan David who ran against Dean in 2018, Barnette dramatically outperformed him, getting 48% more votes than David got in his race against Dean two years earlier.

Hannity and others are hoping that voters will equate losing in 2020 in a congressional race to a loss in 2022 in a senate race. This is unambiguously false and extremely disingenuous for them to rely on the ignorance of many voters. Her very strong performance in a very blue district is why she would almost certainly win in a statewide senate race.

Kathy Barnette is a fighter. She is a passionate Christian and a staunch America First patriot. If you disagree with her stances or qualification, I accept that. If you’re trying to strategize to get another RINO to DC, I stand athwart.

Military Throwing Cash at Recruiting Crisis as Troops Head for the Exits

Hints that the armed services might soon face a problem keeping their ranks full began quietly, with officials spending the last decade warning that a dwindling slice of the American public could serve.

Only about one-quarter of young Americans are even eligible for service these days, a shrinking pool limited by an increasing number of potential recruits who are overweight or are screened out due to minor criminal infractions, including the use of recreational drugs such as marijuana.

But what had been a slow-moving trend is reaching crisis levels, as a highly competitive job market converges with a mass of troops leaving as the coronavirus pandemic subsides, alarming military planners.

"Not two years into a pandemic, and we have warning lights flashing," Maj. Gen. Ed Thomas, the Air Force Recruiting Service commander, wrote in a memo leaked in January about the headwinds his team faces.

For now, the services are leaning on record-level enlistment and retention bonuses meant to attract and keep America's military staffed and ready – bonuses that continue to climb.

In an interview with Military.com last month, Thomas didn't mince words. He knows he is competing against the private sector to hire people, from technology giants to regional gas stations.

"If you want to work at Buc-ee's along I-35 in Texas, you can do it for [a] $25-an-hour starting salary," Thomas said. "You can start at Target for $29 an hour with educational benefits. So you start looking at the competition: Starbucks, Google, Amazon. The battle for talent amidst this current labor shortage is intense."

Paired with those competitive offers for workers are a large number of service members retiring, some having delayed leaving the ranks during a pandemic that saw huge instability in the job market.....

"This is arguably the most challenging recruiting year since the inception of the all-volunteer force," Lt. Gen. David Ottignon, the Marine Corps officer in charge of manpower, told the Senate during a public hearing April 27.

All of the military's service branches are scrambling to find ways to compete for a younger generation of talent that has plenty of employment opportunities....

The Army, Air Force and Navy have all announced reenlistment bonuses for certain career fields and specialties, some of them in the six-figure range.

The Air Force is offering up to $100,000 reenlistment bonuses based on experience and career field. The Navy is also offering those incentives, with fields such as network cryptologists and nuclear technicians making anywhere from $90,000 to $100,000. The Army is offering a more modest cap of $81,000 to reenlist for some jobs...

CIA Medical Office Gets a Congressional Colonoscopy

The CIA’s medical office, knocked by agency veterans for lapses ranging from its treatment of war-related psychological traumas to the mysterious Havana Syndrome ailments, is about to get an up close and personal exam from a new oversight board mandated by Congress.

The Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2022 contains a little-noticed provision setting professional standards and practices to be overseen by a new medical advisory board composed of 13 experts nominated by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees and the director of National Intelligence, currently Avril Haines.

“Each member shall be a recognized expert in at least 1 medical field, as demonstrated by appropriate credentials,” the bill says. “Each member shall possess significant and diverse medical experience, including clinical experience.” And “each member shall be eligible to hold an appropriate security clearance.”

The deadline for board appointments was set as 45 days after the bill’s enactment, which would have been about Apr. 25. Citing the press of other more urgent business, committee sources could not immediately provide SpyTalk with the names of nominees, if any.

The appointment of an outside board to peer over the shoulders of a single CIA unit’s day-to-day operations is unprecedented, roughly equivalent to Congress’s creation of intelligence oversight committees in the mid-1970s following reports of CIA domestic spying, assassination plots, meddling in Chile’s elections and LSD drug testing on unwitting Americans.

A CIA spokesperson said the board would “provide guidance to the Director on best practices and offer recommendations on how our medical services can continue to improve and innovate as we provide care to our officers at headquarters and in the field.

“We appreciate working with Congress,” the statement continued, “to ensure we are able to take care of our workforce with highly trained medical, psychological, and health professionals who have access to the latest research and advancements.”

That would be good, according to critics of the agency’s Office of Medical Services, or OMS. Language in the bill written by congressional overseers implies that the credentials of CIA medical staffers dealing with Havana Syndrome were not up to snuff. And it spells out in extraordinary detail the clinical steps that agency medical personnel must perform when assessing complainants.

The advisory board will elect its own chair and meet every three months, according to the bill, signed by President Biden on March 10. It’s required to meet with the intelligence oversight committees twice a year. The bill does not stipulate whether any of those meetings will be public.

Former senior CIA operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos, an outspoken critic of the agency’s halting treatment of Havana Syndrome, of which he is just one of scores of victims, welcomed the creation of the board, however belated. The OMS is long overdue for a checkup, he said.

“There were some individual doctors who were very good, but the Office of Medical Services is utterly broken and has been forever,” he said via email. “Maybe they're different now, but the last time I came back from Afghanistan, a long time ago, in 2012, you would meet with a shrink for about 10 seconds. ‘How you doing?’ ‘Great.’ ‘Any nightmares?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘You drink a lot?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘It's all good.’ ‘Thanks.’ And then you walk out the door.”

Suicides among war veterans, including CIA paramilitary and counterterrorism officers, have soared to epidemic proportions.

“They might be doing things differently now,” he allowed.

Black Site Doctors

For years now, questions have also been raised about the role of the CIA medical officers in the agency’s black site torture sessions.

Former CIA case officer Glenn Carle, whose 2011 memoir, The Interrogator: An Education, denounced the agency’s torture practices, says he assumed the officers filling medically-related functions at an interrogation site were from the Office of Medical Services, but the CIA censors reviewing his manuscript were adamant he remove his reference to “a psychiatrist.”

"The Agency was very keen that I not say that a ‘psychiatrist’ was involved in any way in the interrogation program, because their presence would’ve violated the physicians' Hippocratic Oath, and thus, apparently, implicated OMS,” Carle told SpyTalk. “There’s nothing in my published book about the OMS. But in my draft I had written something like, 'the psychiatrist said…'

Disappointing: Jim Jordan Says He Will Support Weak RINO Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker

In April, The New York Times investigative reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns released passages from their latest book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”

In the book, the two claimed that GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy told Liz Cheney on a January 10, 2021 call that he would counsel Trump to resign before the end of his term.

When the claims within the book broke early in the news, McCarthy’s spokesman Mark Bednar refuted them saying, “McCarthy never said he’d call Trump to say he should resign.

McCarthy himself called the claims about his conversations “totally false” when The New York Times reported on them earlier in the day.

Kevin McCarthy released a statement on Twitter following the NY Times report. He insisted the claims were false.

Then within hours, Rachel Maddow leaked the private phone call on her show on Thursday night of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with Trump-hating lunatic Liz Cheney on January 10, 2021.

During the call, McCarthy told Liz Cheney that he would counsel President Trump Trump to resign. This is exactly what the book reported. Liz Cheney released the call to the authors. And now Kevin McCarthy was caught in a lie.

This was not a surprise to those who follow Kevin McCarthy closely. He is a weak RINO who was also caught on audio pushing the Tech Giants to censor and shut down conservative voices online.

On Sunday Rep. Jim Jordan told Maria Bartiromo he will support Kevin McCarthy as Speaker if Republicans takeover the House in 2023.

What a disappointment.

PURE EVIL: Colorado Governor Confirms State Will Allow Late Term Abortions – Defends Third-Trimester Abortions

Next to Communist China and North Korea, the Democrat Party has the most barbaric policies on abortion in the world today.

Western European countries have limits on abortions. Most do not allow abortion after the first trimester unless there is serious danger to the mother’s health.

Democrats in the US demand abortion up to the moment of birth. And several Democrat leaders are in support of infanticide or murdering the baby after birth.

These are godless people.

On Sunday Colorado’s Democrat Governor Jared Polis joined Shannon Bream on FOX News Sunday. Polis refused to say whether a law he just signed allows for abortion until birth.

Then he DEFENDED third-trimester abortions.

The Marine Corps' Intellectual Civil War

It is almost unheard of for retired Marine Corps general officers to criticize the policies of the sitting commandant, but three have recently done so. They joined Former Navy Secretary James Webb in criticizing Gen. David Berger's Force Design 2030 plan to revamp the Corps' warfighting strategy. Retired Gens. Charles Krulak (a former commandant himself), Jack Sheehan and Anthony Zinni penned an April 22 editorial in The Washington Post criticizing the new strategic vision. They appear to speak for a much larger group of retired general officers.

This is not a group of reactionary Colonel Blimps; they represent some of the most innovative minds that the Corps has produced in a half century.

Berger's vision, which he is actively pursuing, is to concentrate the Marine Corps' attention on China. He hopes to disrupt China's anti-navy, access denial strategy designed to foil U.S. power projection in that region. The concept calls for having Marine Corps units occupy islands in the South China Sea to counter China's attempt to dominate that body of water using long-range anti-ship and anti-air missiles.

The intent is to assist the Navy in disrupting the Chinese reconnaissance strike-complex that is designed to deny U.S. naval and Air Force access to the South China Sea. Once that is accomplished, U.S. and allied forces would be able to operate more freely. To buy a new range of capabilities, Berger is divesting the Marine Corps of many of its legacy combat systems. Most notably, he wants to mothball tanks. But also on the chopping block are helicopters and much of the Corps' tubed artillery, as well as some heavy engineering and logistics assets.

The four-star critics make some telling arguments against Berger's strategic direction. They point out that overspecialization against China degrades the Marine Corps' traditional mission as a force ready to rapidly deploy anywhere in the world, and that the discarded systems would be useful in surprise conflicts such as the one in Ukraine. They also point out that most of the new systems that Berger wants to buy already are prevalent in the Army, Navy and Air Force. They also observe that the new vision was not coordinated with the combatant commands, the Joint staff, or the nations laying claim to the target islands. There are also concerns regarding the feasibility of resupplying forces once engaged.

Focus on a specific potential enemy is not new to the Marine Corps. Marines developed their expertise in amphibious warfare in the years between the two world wars specifically to conduct operations in an expected conflict with Japan. Even then, there was internal debate over the wisdom of this approach.

At the time, the Marine Corps had been involved in small wars in the jungles of the Caribbean and Central America. The concept of being America's "force in readiness" was already deeply ingrained in the Corps. However, the difference between then and now is that the capabilities developed to conduct amphibious warfare were additive. The Corps divested itself of nothing to develop amphibious tractors, shore party organizations, and the use of carrier-based aviation as artillery early in landing operations before big guns could come ashore. Today, significant equipment has been retired without guarantees on investment.

Berger's defenders argue that the current Ukrainian conflict proves that tanks are obsolete. However, despite their success in tank killing, additional tanksm along with jet fighter-bombers, top the Ukrainian wish list for military aid as fighting ratchets up in the Eastern theater of that conflict.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations came to the realization that China has become a near-peer regional military threat, and the Marine Corps should be congratulated for giving serious thought to that fact. However, before further mothballing more hardware, the service should consider an approach that could realize the useful parts of Berger's vision while avoiding a nasty resource fight with the other services and maintaining the ability of the Marine Corps to fight in unexpected contingencies worldwide.

III Marine Amphibious Force on Okinawa is the organization tasked with carrying out Berger's strategy. An alternative would be to configure III MEF as a joint task force headquarters with augmentation from the other services to carry out early operations to disrupt China's anti-access strategy, with the Marine Corps' new littoral regiments as the nucleus for sub-joint task forces....

Pope proclaims 10 new saints, first canonization in 2 years

Pope Francis created 10 new saints on Sunday, rallying from knee pain that has forced him to use a wheelchair to preside over the first canonization ceremony at the Vatican in over two years. Francis stood for a long period at the start to greet priests concelebrating the Mass, presided over the nearly two-hour ceremony and then stood and walked for a good 15 minutes after it ended to greet dozens of cardinals and bishops. Vatican cameras lingered on the scene as if to showcase the pope's mobility and refute speculation about his health and the future of his pontificate.

Ukraine foreign minister says ‘aid is on the way’ after meeting with Blinken

Ukraine’s foreign minister said “more weapons and other aid is on the way” on Sunday after meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“We agreed to work closely together to ensure that Ukrainian food exports reach consumers in Africa and Asia. Grateful to Secretary Blinken and the US for their leadership and unwavering support,” ​Dmytro ​Kuleba posted on Twitter​, linking to a photo of him and the US’ top diplomat​.

​State Department spokesman Ned Price said the two discussed the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of Ukraine and ​Blinken “conveyed details regarding the latest tranche of US security assistance to bolster Ukraine’s defenses.”​

The meeting comes as a $40 billion humanitarian and military aid package has been held up in the Senate by Sen. Rand Paul.

The Kentucky Republican has insisted that a special inspector general be named to oversee the distribution of the funds, which have already been approved by the House.

The senator said he sympathizes with Ukraine over their fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin but said the US “cannot continue to spend money we don’t have.”

​Amid the stalemate, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and three other Republicans made a surprise visit Saturday to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky. ​

An aide to Zelensky said the visit by McConnell and Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas and John Barrasso of Wyoming suggested an end to the impasse.

“A decision on $40 billion is expected next week,” Andrij Sybiha wrote on Facebook. “Today, our state has the strong bipartisan and bicameral support of American friends. And the American people.”​

It Only Took About 180 Minutes For Democrats To Try To Capitalize On The Buffalo Shooting

Shortly over three hours after police were alerted to a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday, Democratic politicians took to Twitter to call for gun control legislation.

“Two mass shootings in 24 hours, in Milwaukee and Buffalo — the latter killing ten people. I’m heartbroken. And I’m angry. Angry that the GOP continues to block even the most basic gun safety measures. We can stop this. We can save lives. Republicans just refuse to. Cowards.” said Democratic Representative Adam Schiff of California in a Twitter post.

The alleged shooter, later identified in court as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, reportedly traveled several hours from Conklin, New York to Buffalo where authorities said the gunman exited his vehicle with a firearm and shot four people in the parking lot, three of them were fatally wounded, the New York Times reported. A retired Buffalo police officer who was working as a security guard at the store was fatally shot by Gendron who continued firing upon customers and employees inside the store, the outlet noted.
