Juliette Ochieng, AKA Baldilocks, is up first with Not So Crazy After All: Conspiracy Facts

A friend on social media asked her audience – including me – to provide two instances in which conspiracy theories were later proven to be fact, so I told her that I would give it a shot. Said friend and I agree roughly 98% of the time and, of course, respect each other's opinions. But she thinks that conspiracy theories are bunk, and I think that some of them are valid.

Bookworm Rook - The Highly Suspect Timing of SBF’s Arrest (UPDATED): Did the government issue a warrant for Sam Bankman-Fried ‘s arrest to forestall him from giving testimony before Congress that might harm the Biden Administration?

Third, and most explosively, Bankman-Fried seems to have been funding his donations to the Democrat Party partly from money laundering our tax dollars out of Ukraine.

Enter the VAMPIRE.

Don Surber - Facing layoffs, WaPo staffers go nuts

In the nearly two years since the premature end of Donald Trump's presidency, the Washington Post has lost 500,000 subscribers and a ton of money -- just like President Trump predicted.

Jeff Bezos decided to cut staff to fit the revenues they bring in. Imagine that. He is refusing to subsidize the deep state's propaganda machine.

Chicks on the Right - Democrat Representative Katie Porter thinks pedophilia is not a crime, it’s just an identity

During a hearing regarding Anti-LGBTQ violence, Rep Katie Porter stated, “The groomer narrative is an age-old lie to position LGBTQ+ people as a threat to kids.” She then went on to say, “This allegation of ‘groomer’ and ‘pedophile,’ it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow, and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity.” They are criminals, because PEDOPHILIA IS A CRIME.
