The three of you consistently deliver authentic, real takes on the news. Every morning's Brief is like catharsis as I mentally (and sometimes literally) say, "Yes! Absolutely! Spot-on!!" :-)

Awesome reporting, digs, and commentary, Ashe, Ghost, and Burning Bright! I love your work!

Gary's avatar

Agreed! If something keeps me away from my daily Badlands Brief it's like missing my coffee.

Samuel E Roberson Jr's avatar

I am the same way, I am so busy now I only have enough free time to watch and interact with the chat during Badlands Brief every morning.

I know I will get all the facts on the major breaking news stories from Canncon and his daily guest's.

ALtab's avatar

They each are amazingly gifted in so many areas, yet still retain patriotism and tenacity! What a winning combination!!

Dick's avatar

Ditto and ratified!

Badlands has been annealed and honed to a mirror brightness & is the sharpest tip of the spear. Bravissimo, kiddos.

Accelerate!

"Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Redistricting Referendum

U.S. health officials said May 8 that the government was monitoring and responding to a hantavirus outbreak ..."

Note to Editor: The Hantavirus article doesn't belong under the Virginia self-goal heading ...

Fixed.

Thank you for your service, Gary. o7

Hello Gary,

I wonder if this Hantavirus could have melted in the Virginia élections redistricting situation 🤔🤔😁

Gary's avatar

I don't know, my friend, but I hear there was Hanta-hand combat in the Dem HQ. 🤣😂🤣

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

In any case it's maybe a new DemonRats (or even rodents !) failed PLANdemic !

As a conservative Virginian, I could not be happier right now about the court’s decision. This is definitely a win for the state of Virginia!!

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

So far, so fail. Neither Oak, nor I have heard any actual person utter the words “Hanta Virus.”

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

Hello Kelly !

I asked Brave Leo AI about the etymology because I didn't know about it either :

"The name hantavirus originates from the Hantaan River in South Korea. The first virus in this group, called Hantaan virus, was isolated in 1978 from rodents near the Hantaan River during investigations into Korean hemorrhagic fever, which had affected soldiers during the Korean War. The virus was named after the river, and the broader group of related viruses"

About the virus family:

"The hantavirus is a group of rodent-borne viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans, primarily hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Europe and Asia.

Transmission:

Hantaviruses are mainly transmitted through inhalation of aerosolized particles from the urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents. Contact with contaminated materials or rodent bites can also lead to infection. The Andes virus, found in South America, is the only known hantavirus capable of limited human-to-human transmission, typically requiring prolonged, close contact."

Kelly McCulloch's avatar

I guess my brevity does allow for confusion. I have heard of Hantavirus over the decades, and it may even be a real strain of something. What I mean by the comment is that this fear porn does not appear to be gaining traction in a meaningful way. At least not yet! IF IT DOES, I definitely subscribe to Ghost’s cure of relentless taunting and public shaming. 🤓

Featherjourney's avatar

I would tend to agree. It’s not on my radar much either, but then I don’t follow the fake news brainwashing media. (Although I appreciate Badlands keeping us informed on the fake shenanigans🙏). What I can believe is that there are likely BigPharma and WHO elites who would wish it could be a problem as they watch their level of fear mongering control crumble.

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

We're many here who will happily and willingly subscribe to Ghost’s own cure ! 😁🤗

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

They keep trying to escalate (based on the news my boss plays during the day) but I don't hear of anyone else talking about it. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. They should be ashamed of themselves.

cgg's avatar

There's a message in there about hantavirus transmission and rats...I know WHAT rats are ...but WHO the rats here?

I guess the measles thing has fizzled, so they had to move onto to something else. I broke my foot a few weeks ago and where I see my doctor for OV, the podiatry waiting room is shared with pediatrics. There are several WARNING for measles posters plastered across the glass door entryway. Masks are in a box at the table at the front. A few people take them (STILL), but a lot just ignore. Even the staff doesn't wear them now and this was CV-obedience central (SF Bay Area).

(When you are on crutches because you have to be non-weight bearing, the last effing thing you need to do is to stop and put on a mask before continuing to haul your ass down to check in. The foot doesn't hurt because I'm not using it; it's the rest of me. I've never been so damn tired.)

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

Hello cgg !

I agree with you about the measles cases as I do about this troubling virus outbreak.

To answer your question: it's easy to find the DemocRATS finger prints all around in all these fearmongering health matters which all appears at the moment when the D's are at [Their] lowest efficiency and reliability!

I wish you rapidly improve your own health.

@GBPH: When I research the New Covenant acceptability of "hate" we have a reasonable facsimile to your position. It is found in the first of the seven letters that Jesus dictated to John in circa 96 AD - His last set of instructions during this span (approx. 1921 years and counting) of the "week of Redemption".

Speaking to the citizens of His kingdom who gathered together in Ephesus He commends them for hating "the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." In His next letter Jesus more clearly defines this false doctrine and the deeds it produces, associating it with the "doctrines of Balaam" (idolatry and human trafficking).

Nicolaitan-ism was the idea that an "elite class" of "superior" people had the right to subject ("nikē) the rank and file believers to their arrogance - insisting that they "knew best" what the people ("laos") needed.

So...this baby boomer...for what it is worth...is willing to accept that this behavior (hantavirus fear-mongering to subject the people) is hate-worthy! Maybe even "flipping tables" worthy.

Lone Star exile's avatar

Bingo!, Bullseye!, On point! I've known this for years about the Nicolaitans, but guess how many times I've heard this taught/preached from a pulpit???

That's right--Zero, zilch, nada. (h/t to Boomer Rush Limbaugh)

Or this one, "Woe to the shepherds who feed themselves and not the flock..." Ezekiel 34:2 et al. I've never heard that preached either, lol!

Thanks, HGV

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

Jesus foreshadowed this (we can find it in all 3 of the synoptics - Matt.20:25; Mark 10:42; Luke 22:25) when He warned them to not structure the gathering together of the citizens of His kingdom (the Greek understanding of “ekklēsia” which Jesus chose to use in describing those for whom He was building) as the rulers of the nations do - lording it over the people. His model was an inversion of that. These were His words to them only a few days prior to His inaugurating the New Covenant! And if we know what we are reading, we see Paul confirming that his advice to the gatherings mirrors that very doctrine!

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

Any time I've heard this discussed -- whether pulpit or study group -- no one has "understood" who they are. The usual description is false teachers. I don't know that I've heard the words "human trafficking" as part of who the Nicolaitans are.

Lone Star exile's avatar

True for me also. Perhaps HGV will elaborate on human trafficking with regards to the "doctrines of Baalam."

Doesn’t look like the Save America Act and ending the filibuster is going to happen. What if it doesn’t? Will Trump have to declare a Nat’l Emergency for the Midterm elections?

“Have to??” Why would he have to? Possibly because he “has it all!”

Evidence of the criminal shenanigans going on in our elections?

Remember Space Force?

Here’s an intriguing quote from Truthermedia (link below):

“May 17, 2020, the United States Space Force launched the uncrewed X-37B space plane which did not return until 908 days later on November 12, 2022. For those of you familiar with Q, yes, that was May [17] for 908 days, in which 9+0+8 = [17].

Guess what else?

The X-37B was actively in orbit during the 2024 election as well. The uncrewed secret plane launched on December 28, 2023.

Do you see what I see? Look at that last date. 2+8+2+0+2+3 = [17]

What are the chances?

The X-37B stayed in orbit throughout all of 2024 (including Election Day, November 5, 2024) until March 7, 2025.

These secret missions which were in orbit during the 2020 Election, the 2022 Midterm Elections, and the 2024 Election, have never been disclosed.

President Trump started Space Force.

Who is the largest contractor in history for the U.S. Military? Elon Musk.”

My favorite part of the Virginia Redistricting reversal is the Dem candidates who were ready to cash in only to discover their game table overturned.

Jim Schout's avatar

Jack Smith has brought many bogus lawsuits against people on the opposite side of his political bias, and he has lost every single one. To me this makes him a loser with extremely bad instincts.

His latest revelation is that the present DOJ is corrupt and bringing suits against their political opponents. I am laughing my ass off! That is absolutely hilarious. He is 100% correct because he invented the ploy. He is an expert at lawfare. The problem is he is missing the corruption by one entire administration. Where was this magnificent insight into DOJ corruption when he was right in the middle of it?

Democrats blow me away. They invent an illegal tactic and use it to their advantage. So they can easily spot it when they see it being used legally. Their problem is the words legal and illegal. They cannot understand there is a difference.

Jack Smith was expert at charging legal acts as being illegal. So he is confused when illegal acts are charged as illegal acts. To him, this makes no sense because there are no politics involved.

If you remove the politics, there is no Democrat party. That is what we are witnessing today. But, most Americans are still confused by the politics. Democrats make everything political and that is what confuses too many of us.

Jim Schout's avatar

Yes, this is precisely the same game of manipulation through political means. Their problem is they have no Constitution to hold them accountable.

We have ever so slowly allowed ourselves to be legally manipulated by the City of London’s influence. They have become addicted to our support of their corrupted system. But, Trump pulled the rug in 2017 and they came close to putting the rug back using more of their corrupt tricks. But, 2024 put the rug pulling right back and now they are trapped by their own games. But, just look at them. They are still trying to pull together using their old game book. It just needs time to totally fail.

We know how to repair our failing system. They have no clue without our support. Trump has merely turned them loose to fend for themselves for a change.

I do not understand why BB claims the Virginia Supreme Court overturned the People's choice when BB of all people should have known about the 65,000 vote drop during the coverage of the vote count. The No vote was well ahead of the Yes vote when that happened on TV in front of those who were watching. That was clearly a rigged election that the Democrats didn't even attempt to hide. What if the Virginia Supreme Court allowed the vote to continue to showcase this behavior and escalate to the Supreme Court that ALL gerrymandering is political? Virginia's redistricting clearly did not violate their earlier decision in the Louisiana case. Was this a white hat operation? In fact, go further, was Spanberger like Mandami a white hat operation? Perhaps to showcase the insidiousness of gerrymandering? With this redistricting fight going on, is it going to be the Supreme Court whose decision will lead to 'no midterms'? IMO, all states are purple and Trump's political affiliation by the way he acts is purple. However being purple does not mean it is ok to destroy women's sports or violate their spaces just because you choose to pretend your testosterone is a worthless chemical that has no effect on your body.

I believe without proof that the white hats control the DNC and have for some time. That is why Kamala Harris was chosen as Biden's running mate and in fact why Joe Biden was nominated in the first place. Ask yourself, would an uncontrolled DNC allow their party leaders to act the way they do? Probably not because they are acting stupid... and stupidity was never in the DNC's playbook. Up until 2022, the DNC's actions had a very strategic long term goal. Now they are acting like children holding a temper tantrum after a playground monitor broke up a school yard fight. People hate the Democrat Party because the script told them to act in such a way to make it happen. What deal they made we'll never know, but if they go, so do the Republicans because they are the same thing.

The more interesting fight going on now is the one in churches and the Democrat civil war due to Israel's actions in the Middle East while President Trump and whoever is in charge of Iran take one of the off ramps. The "Israel is God's Chosen" faction of church leadership will now go through cognitive dissonance now that they don't have Trump to blame for the unrest in the Middle East and soon will not have Iran to blame. It will be interesting to see how Tucker Carlson acts as it will expose to me anyway whether he was part of this Israel operation or his behavior is organic. The Democrat civil war has been going on for some time as it involves the Jewish population, many hold local civic positions, are quite well off and comprise a large part of the expert class and the pro-Palestinian faction who may have some legitimate gripes with regards to how those whom they claim to represent have been treated by BOTH parties.

I agree about 95%, but I have one point where I see this differently. You talk of purple states and I claim all states are actually red. There are actually no blue states. Now I know this isn’t what we are seeing today, but I hope I can explain my view.

If we merely go back and look at our Constitution we find out how blue states were created out of whole cloth. So much of what we are living today resulted from illegal changes to our Constitution that were never corrected in the courts legally. I could spend the next twenty hours going over the huge number of them, but most began following the Act of 1871, which in itself might have been unconstitutional. But three gigantic ones came in 1913. Two Constitutional Amendments and the creation of the Federal Reserve!

Then, in 1933 it was FDR’s order that forced Americans to relinquish their Gold to the Treasury. How was that constitutional?

So, you see, the Democrat party has illegally manipulated our Constitution for at least 155 years to create our Blue states. Blue states are the ones that have bought into the bastardization of our Constitution faster than the Red states which are still holding onto some semblance of the original design, but most of them are still confused because so much of America has been corrupted using our system of laws illegally against us.

I say the Sixteenth Amendment is a perfect example. It was never legally voted into law. The Secretary of State merely declared it ratified and it was never questioned by our media at the time. If the SOS said it was ratified, it was ratified! But that was how Democrats got what the wanted in 1913! They just lied and were allowed to get away with it so long as their lies sounded plausable.

We are reversing over 155 years worth of this illegal manipulation. Republicans started it! Now, we need to correct our mistake. I say a map just yesterday that showed America’s actual Red versus Blue areas and 100% of all states were Red! There were just little blue splotches scattered around in large cities. There wasn’t even one blue states except maybe Hawaii. I don’t remember if Hawaii was shown or not.

—-BB, it’s no coincidence that the essential heart of the Prussian empire was modern day Ukraine. ‘THAT is the true nature of the Invisible Enemy. THAT is who the war is truly against.’ You are 💯 correct! I find the connections between the old Prussian regime’s history and the new Israel (greater Israel plan) interesting.

—-Ashe has correctly grasped the key point, ‘…to reckon with the fact that elections are fake, politicized theatre, and that that is true even before a single voter is registered or a single ballot is cast.’ Accelerate.

—-The invisible enemy’s obtuse positioning and sheer panic is evident in that they would actually try again with the hanta virus….🤣. This one failed outright. But, Ghost’s approach must be ours!

—-Ashe, it does. ‘Sounds like setting up plausible deniability for Senate Intelligence Committee members.’ But maybe a thread that’s about to be pulled in the public’s face? Another step up the RICO ladder? Schiff.

—-Ghost, I think they have most definitely controlled elements of the US, but it has now deteriorated to ‘…they think they do.’ Hence, the obvious panic. No one with dual citizenship can serve in our government. Ever.

—-UFOs will lead where?

—-America is our country, and as flawed as it is (full of flawed people), we still are obligated to put it first. OR LEAVE.

This all is leading to the 3rd part of the globalist triad. City of London has been defanged and DC being cleared of corruption. That leaves the Vatican.

Featherjourney's avatar

It was in my queue but hadn’t read it until I just saw your link! Thanks, Anna!!

It’s a take I hadn’t thought of , that the Royal Family is being held hostage by, basically, the City of London power center.

Not sure if I agree but I am willing to definitely keep it in mind and it makes sense…the Queen/King needing to ask permission to enter the City of London!!

Pray for the decent good people of Canada…and vigilance on our northern border!

🙏❤️🕊🥕🐇🕊🌎🌟

Anna's avatar

I agree Feather. Don't really know where the royals stand on this. I read an article on substack, can't remember the author now, that said the royals were and have been the power players all along, implying I think, that the permission to enter the CofL was a ruse. That the Queen was read in on all intelligence comms. If I can find it i will share it. I think there may have been a video, too. So much info, and disinfo. Still sorting....

👍🙏❤️🕊🌟

Featherjourney's avatar

It was Promethean Action, about the Queen read in on all the City’s intel and strategy…still, I suppose you could see that as gathering evidence? I lean more towards their in on it rather than being hostages but I won’t completely rule it out 😉

Anna's avatar

Ah, yes! I remember it now. I was thinking that it was PA. Thanks for jogging my memory! I'm not keen on them being hostages, either. Otherwise, the royals would have asked for asylum here when they had the chance, lol! 😉

They wear masks today as though it's part of their wardrobe. I am a baby boomer and in no way do I or my BB friends wear masks unless it's in a retarded Drs office. Maybe get out and take a walk or travel somewhere, you'll see the same thing I do.

I asked Brave AI, which generation has the most Liberals? In the US

“Generation Z has the highest percentage of liberals among all generations, with 43% of Gen Z adults identifying as liberal, according to a 2024 PRRI survey. This exceeds millennials (39%), Gen X (25%), baby boomers (25%), and the Silent Generation (24%)

So…only 25% of the Boomers are Liberals…which means 75% are either Independents (like me) or Conservative Republicans

Of all the generations, the Boomers are the most conservative (Brave AI)

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

I will agree with you. I am also a boomer. It seems that many of our generation are good at calling BS where it is. Where I live (Hooterville), there were those who initially complied until someone said no. The first day I walked into the grocery store without a mask I thought I would die from all the daggers thrown at me from the eyes of those with masks on. However, every time I went, there were fewer and fewer doing it. It was freaking amazing. And yes, they were the boomers taking them off first.

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

I am watching the redistricting stories. I remember hearing these in the past and not understanding the reality of what it meant. My daughter lives in North Carolina. I remember her telling me about redlining in real estate. I had no idea what that was either. I realize I live in rural Minnesota (aka: Hooterville) but I am woefully ignorant of the realities of things like this.

So much for a "free" country when this like these are still happening.

I am thankful for the decision in Virginia. Stop the fraud in elections.

ALtab's avatar

Our political 2 party system has been two sides of the same coin from the beginning. Understanding this is critical.

CT Loyd's avatar

GEORGE WASHINGTON: In his 1796 Farewell Address, he warned that parties would become "potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people". He saw party spirit as a "frightful despotism".

JOHN ADAMS: "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties... this is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution".

JAMES MADISON: In Federalist 10, acknowledged that factions are inevitable due to human nature, but argued the new federal system was designed to "break and control the violence of faction".

ALEXANDER HAMILTON: Called political parties “the most fatal disease” of popular governments.

THOMAS JEFFERSON: Initially cautious, he later recognized the inevitability of political divisions, writing in 1824 that "Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties" (aristocrats and democrats).

Aristocrats are members of a ruling class, typically holding hereditary titles, high social status, and economic power.

JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY (OR a JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT) refers to the political philosophy and movement led by Thomas Jefferson in the early 19th century, WHICH CHAMPIONED INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, AGRARIAN INTERESTS, AND a STRICTLY LIMITED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It prioritized states' rights, the "common man," and an educated, virtuous citizenry.

Core Principles of a Jeffersonian Democrat:Agrarianism: Belief that independent farmers were the backbone of a virtuous republic, favoring a decentralized, rural-focused nation.

Limited Government: Advocacy for a weak central government and strict interpretation of the Constitution to protect individual freedoms.

States' Rights: Promotion of state sovereignty over centralized federal power.

Individual Liberty: Strong emphasis on civil liberties, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.

Opposition to Aristocracy: Distrust of elite rule and financial speculators, aiming for government by the "common man".

Expansionism: Support for territorial expansion to ensure enough land for future generations of farmers.

Great expose on why the parties, starting with the Democratic Party, were infiltrated and transformed into serfs of the political elite class, also deliberately created.

I do realize the political parties are one and the same. I just had no idea that things like this still happen.....especially red-lining. That was eye-opening. I live in a place where this doesn't happen. At least not that I have been aware of. However, I am seeing more and more of the manipulation. Just mind-blowing to me -- at least today it is.

Welcome back, hope y'all had as enjoyable of a weekend as my wife & I did!

Great start to the week.

BB you drive a critical point IMHO. Trump 2.0 exerts a lot of energy driving the narrative straight at the DS Rat Bastards turf only to use that to engage Normieville while finishing on the opposite side that the evil dirtbags wanted and right where the majority of We the People desire. When you stay at the 40k level it is easy to see and keeps you calm. I love how your mind works, you have a real gift!

ASHE the VA redistricting story has been a MOAB. Again, when you view it from 40k you see how all the points you made create a perfect narrative win for We the People with all of Norniville sucked into the rollercoaster ride... almost like Trump 2.0 has a plan:-)

GBPH, I love all your digging. I have no dog in the fight and all the details, while interesting, I just file away without attaching to any of it. I am convinced that Trumnp-A-Mania will rule the day... What Trump wants Trump Gets.

This ride is really getting fun:-)

God Wins!

God Bless!!!
