Gas prices collapse and CNN removes the gas price graphic from their home page…
Exxon Mobil down $10+ per share.
Figures! Good news doesn’t fit CNN’s M.O.
The moment Biden was installed as president CNN removed the Covid case counter from its news feed. Poof! Just like that!
The U.S. Treasury Dept press release, with links to sources mentioned, titled “Treasury Proposes Rule to Implement the GENIUS Act’s Requirements to Counter Illicit Finance” – it’s about setting up the ground rules for stablecoins:
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0435
Have nothing to do with anything named GENIUS. It is a google trap.
“Day 444, love the number : )”
Of late this comes to mind; “Childish”
With the institutional weaponization of words that started in earnest in the 70’s most people pointed and laughed and said, “that’s goofy, get away from me.” I was one of them.
But the demons stayed at it. They used their enemy MSM, infiltrated education, entertainment, sports…and they knew in time they could control the masses with saturation. What started as a trickle is now a torrent, but “FINALLY” now with headwinds MAGA!
“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” aka the “Big Lie”. Attributed to Goebbels, but much older.
Now along with the constant drubbing from the enemy MSM and their shock troops in newly minted victim classes gives us the “Karen’s” …yuck! A despicable phenomenon that blossomed with our Barry-O.
Just pull their slimy cord, show’em a MAGA hat and they instantly start spinning, spitting and screaming the “F” word.
It would be fun to put groups of on a stages, Broadway perhaps Radio City Music Hall, show them a picture of President Trump, and it would be like loud, ugly Rockettes without nice Christmas music screaming the “F” word. For the finale, perhaps “The End” by the Doors playing, the evil builds to a crescendo that is so pervasive that a vortex opens and swallows them up, “and sold-out crowds roar every night.
Great news for the theater district, unlike Hamilton, it has an honesty that is refreshing. The bad news with the vortex is that they need a new cast every time, around 300, the good news is no need for rehearsal, just be your despicable self and it’s NYC at two shows a day they have a solid 180-day run. They can call it “No Kings”
The producers are thrilled about the Off-Broadway potential. Just think Chicago, Minneapolis, SF, Portland et al you name the blue hive. Very cheap to put on the road, just use the No Kings preprinted placards, and it sells out before they hit the stage.
Some of the producers are getting clever and including holograms of CNN, MSNOW or now, Tucker, Alex Jones, Candice Owens, MT Green etc. forming news panels and it’s like a drinking game, every time the news panel say “Trump” combined with “Nazi” heads literally explode.
“A good time had by all”
I go through this soliloquy because of the past 2months with Venezuela, Iran and Cuba is batter up. Again, President Trump has endured withering attacks from the usual suspects and supposedly our team.
FINALLY, SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THESE DISTRACTIONS, CONSTANT PAINS IN OUR ASS!
I for one am glad to have these distractions removed. I’m not prescient but I do have the ability to be reflective, to look back and see this treachery that we’ve been exposed to, my entire life. “I believe in Love, I believe in Peace…but these are wicked installed regimes that are brutal, talking will not get it done.
So, I say, Thank You to our Great American President Donald J Trump for having the intestinal fortitude to save the USA and by extension the world despite what the enemy MSM says and that includes, Tucker & Alex.
Prayers up for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Marines, do your job and come home, no Vietnam’s, no Afghanistan’s/Iraq’s constant Wars on Terror, punctuate it and be done.
MAGA! …with God is the only way.
I posted a video up thread that is about just this.
Soliloquy Or pontification either way dittos Stan LeyCup. 😎
I like u, Stan H!!!
Keep calm, Trump has this.
I notice that many people have been hyper-ventilating over everything, but especially over the news of Iran and the ceasefire. It seems they cannot shake the built-in systemic response to any event, and the complete distrust of everything conditioned into us through psyops by the invisible enemy that controls most everything—a legitimate response for sure.
One of the tactics of leftist movements, in their goal to completely subjugate us, is the destruction of trust in government institutions and individuals that surpasses the normal legitimate distrust inherent in the American DNA, in order to reach the extreme where trust is never allocated to anyone or anything in any circumstance, so that effective resistance is hindered to the point where it cannot develop at all in any meaningful way, and all the enemy has to do is wait it out; in other words, even though our goal is the return to the limited constitutional republic and the sovereignty of the people as originally designed, we are so divided because we cannot coalesce around any effective strategy or person due to the complete paranoia conditioned into us, that when the rare and legitimate leader and strategy does appear, it cannot be totally accepted or recognized.
Taking Iran and this ceasefire as an example, on one side we have this hyper distrust that nothing is ever going to work, the doom and gloom in many cases extending to the point of: it’s all over we might as well just kill ourselves now and end the misery and suffering. This attitude is exactly the goal of the Tavistock developed, IC and media deployed, psychological operation that is in effect. Even though we have right and numbers on our side, we squander those powerful advantages and acquiesce to their divide and conquer strategy, with a significant number of individuals affected.
On the other side, the vast majority of us have the desire to reach our goals and experience true liberty and freedom, but although there are more people waking up to the strategies deployed, there are not enough that have made ‘never surrender’ their motto, or taking the classic American philosophical statement, “You can have my gun, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers,” to heart.
Trump is the leader we need right now, period, end of story! I mean this guy has been fighting for us against a power that has been accumulated for centuries; they have used every means at their disposal, every node of that accumulated power for the last decade–up to and including assassination–to thwart him.
And yet!
And yet, not only does he still stand, he is constantly defeating their plans and intrigues at every turn. This guy is the Energizer bunny when it comes to the enemy of Team Slavery.
Seriously, what more does he have to do to prove this to you? ? To show you that no matter what misdirection he employs in his statements, that his fealty to American ideals are genuine; that his desire to Make America Great Again is his driving force?
If you cannot see this, I implore you, I beg you, to consider that you have fallen for the psyop.
If your principles are those of the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, and that the means of implementing those principles in government is the Constitution of the United States of America, get on board now, we have our Washington to lead us. The time for discussion is long over, it is time to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
If we direct our force in this one direction, our numbers, our belief in the rightness of our cause, and our determination will win the day.
Appropriate the enemy’s tactics of standing as one solid wall, brooking no dissent in the ranks, and following our leader. It’s time to choose sides, you’re either on Team Freedom or on Team Slavery, there is no squishy middle; in our foxhole or the enemy’s; for us or against us; you decide.
The Speech:
https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/reagans/ronald-reagan/time-choosing-speech-october-27-1964
Well-articulated post. Thank you!
Contrary to what the liberal leftist MSM would have us believe, we are in a spiritual war with evil and God is our Commander in Chief. And Trump is His servant leading the way. I choose Team Freedom every time.
I am completely with you on spiritual point, and that Trump is his servant, as I cannot conceive how he has stood without the hand of God protecting him; especially the millimeter miss in Butler, PA.
And President Trump’s patience is exceptional. Forget about trying to deal with folks that just want his job, but having to deal with people who are allegedly professional who for some reason are not judged for saying and preaching and spreading and supporting evil. And these are the ones purportedly on his side.
Note to self – Pray more for President Trump.
I had an epiphany this morning.
While getting my oil changed I chatted with the shop manager. He was very talkative, it turns out he was born in Mexico and his parents came here when he was young, both had Visas. He wasn’t specific about how they came to stay permanently, but I gathered that it wasn’t through protocol.
He bragged and bragged about his grandfather, his father worked for the railroad for 55 years, his mother had a job. He stated he didn’t approve of what ICE was doing; I cowardly stayed silent, they had my car.
The epiphany? Re his parents, when talking about ICE, he specifically said: “They earned it.”
In his mind, because they entered successfully and worked hard for all those years that “earned” them the right to claim American citizenship, the right to stay. (Never mind that they held jobs which an American might have enjoyed.)
It’s moot now, the grandfather, the parents, are gone, and my conversationalist is himself a grandfather, of course of anchor babies and anchor grand babies.
It suddenly occurred to me that that must be what they all think: They earned it.
Because you know, their efforts after coming mean more than following the immigration laws of what used to be a sovereign nation. Instead of realizing that they hit the jackpot by residing in a safer place and having the opportunity to earn more money, they feel entitled.
This illegals that “earned it” are not the problem. They are responding to incentives and disincentives created by the U.S. gov’t and their respective home country.
The ultimate villain is Our unrepresentative compromised uniparty gov’t that operates based to bribes, blackmail and political survival…
“Democrats” want the add’l D voters, welfare state, election rigging and chaos.
“Republicans” want the cheap labor, election rigging and chaos.
If I was born in a third world shithole, I would escape to the U.S. as well. Why? Because I respond to gov’t incentives and disincentives to further my own best interest.
Can’t blame the individual operating in a corrupt system they can’t control.
Our problem is Our gov’t.
So, who elects said govt and should have the motivation to stop things like this illegal immigration but doesn’t? Yeah we should all our hands perhaps.
The majority of the voters/people in the good old USA have not paid much attention to this problem or the anchor baby issue either, for decades. Many of them also don’t vote at all or they vote for a headline maker whom they know little to nothing about. If you’re going to blame the govt. then you’d best blame the people, who far outnumber the members of our governments, who put them there too.
The best way to stop it is like the guys with the dump truck in “Civil War”.
The same can be said of those proponents in favor of reparations. They feel entitled and they think that they earned it. I say “Bovine excrement.”
I was an expat with a resident visa in two foreign countries for 13 years. As much as I loved my experience as an expat, never once did I feel I was anything more than a guest in those countries.
Working for a big US company, I had a 3-month work assignment in early 2000’s on a software project for a Swiss bank. The hotel required, by Swiss law, that I show my temporary work visa for a stay that long. As a visitor I could not, by Swiss law, rent an apartment without a temporary residence visa.
The project ran over a bit and the desk clerk reminded me many times over a few days, that my visa had expired. I had a knock on the door one morning. Standing there was the concierge and an armed Swiss soldier. I was asked if I wanted to go to the police station or the airport.
Americans are ignorant of immigration and that is suicidal for a sovereign nation.
What?! As the son of immgrant parents and grand parents, this riles me. One does not enter a country illegally and then “earn” citizenship by deeds! – one applies for it by respecting and following the immigration laws of the country they want to live in.
My maternal grandparents immigrated here between WW1 and WW2. They bought tickets in carriage decks of a ship for New York. That ship instead docked in the Danish Antilles where they both served for years as indentured servants before they were allowed to get on another boat for New York. In Ellis Island they gave up their passports in order to enter, they were forced to change their last names which the judge said was too long and too hard to spell, and they began the process for US citizenship.
They both worked tirelessly in hard labor jobs, exploited by unions in NYC. They never gave up – becoming American citizens was their dream – they respected the law, followed it and did not give up until they had citizenship.
My father immigrated to New York after WW2. He had valuable skills then, but still went through the legal process. Applied for citizenship and got married. Even so, they still waited for his citizenship before having us kids. He followed the law.
Illegals are just that.
Reagan gave blanket amnesty in the 80’s in exchange for a border wall.
(Still waiting for the wall)
And he and his people knew there would be no border wall or increased security. That was a fib they told the base.
Happened to see their story in the Daily Mail. No, I don’t read it, but I do check for their photos.
But this story caught my eye because the title so obviously told the reader what an injustice this man and his family have endured. It helped that his wife and kids are cute (all American family cute except they are Canadian.)
He’s a Canadian citizen who is a consultant living in Martha’s Vineyard who was banned from reentry following a vacation in Canada. He took his family because he needed to renew his “right” to live in the US and they enjoyed a short vacation as well.
Now he plans to look do whatever it takes to get back to Martha’s Vineyard because that’s where he wants to live.
He has no sense that he is taking a job (and sounds like it pays well) from an American or that he can’t just “decide” he’s going to live here. He said he’s even willing to change jobs if that’s what it takes, even though he likes his job.
I’m no stranger to people thinking they have a right to be in this country, but this family’s attitude shocked me. By the way, his methods for living here did not include applying for US citizenship.
At the end of the article he warned other Canadians in the same situation to be careful so as not to “run into” the same problem.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15704025/canadian-family-denied-entry-united-states-michael-freeze.html
I read that story a day or so ago (don’t the propaganda papers always pick what they think will cause the most rage/sanctimony?) and the photographs belie the other favorite narrative that only people with a certain amount of melanin in their skin are being affected.
Can anyone explain how this behavior fits into a ceasefire, does the ceasefire apply only to the US?

I don’t think Iran can control their proxy terrorists.
That, and different .mullahs and IRGC leaders are fighting each other for control. And some are more crazy than others.
One must remember, their whole existence( Persia Iran) is to usher in the ” Twelve Inman”, they don’t want peace in any form, lieing is accepted for this purpose in their book of religion. No one should be surprised, it’s not going to stop on their part.
NJ Democrats Order USPS to IGNORE President Trump’s Election Integrity Mandate
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/04/nj-democrats-order-usps-ignore-president-trumps-election
well the governor in cheat….
USPS stands for United States Postal Service and not NJPS. When it does, then they have a right to make orders.
You do not understand NJ. Or CA and CO. Democrats absolutely control the USPS.
oh but I do, however, if the government really wants to press the issue, those not following orders can be dismissed. Lot of federal jobs have been eliminated and being removed isn’t just a fairy tale any longer.
Yes…and they were a part of the steal…
Demonrats wants others do the dirty deeds for them. Unfortunately so many useful idiots…looking for a payday.
There’s no better way to compare and contrast how Trump and Obama view the world than by looking at their presidential libraries.
Trump’s plans for his library in Miami are as gorgeous as one would expect from a President who made his fortune in construction….tall, soaring, featuring a six-story American flag displayed behind smoked glass, it lifts the spirits in the same the way Gothic cathedrals did for mass goers a thousand years ago.
This is the message Trump is sending to the world…celebrating America’s greatness!
By contrast Obama’s presidential library in Chicago has been dubbed the Tower of Doom by its critics, doubtless because of its resemblance to a maximum security prison…a huge, grey block of concrete, largely windowless, whose message to the world scrawled in two story high letters, doesn’t celebrate America’s greatness but instead preaches about how America needs improving!
This is the message our selfie-taking, tango-dancing, rock star former president is sending to the world!
The contrast couldn’t be more clear!
Whereas … Biden’s “Presidential Library,” if he ever gets one, should merely consist of a scrawl on the sidewalk of his favorite city, accompanied by a sculpture of an Autopen. 🤡
I saw this article on foxnews.com. This explains lots of things. My son chose to work straight out of high school while my partners twins opted for college. She and I supported both decisions, but I think my son made the right choice. When I was in a state university in the late 80’s, it leaned conservative but the professors were becoming more and more liberal.
Here’s the link to the article.

Democrat GA House Candidate Floats Idea to ‘Punish’ MAGA for Voting for President Trump
Excerpt:
Democrat Suzanna Karatassos, who is running for the Georgia House of Representatives, has floated an idea to ‘punish’ MAGA.
Karatassos shared a video suggesting banning internet access for those who voted for Donald Trump.
“When this is all over, and Trump’s gone and Democrats are back in charge, and we’re rebuilding everything,” she said in the now-deleted TikTok video posted in January.
“The punishment for MAGA for voting for Trump three times needs to be that they remove their internet access for four years.”

I did think the agreement might last longer than a few hours.
Perhaps, the promise of an “American cease-fire” has already been enough to flush out these “verminous quail.” The wolf is incapable of continuing to wear sheep’s clothing for long.
I will yield to the professional negotiators, the greatest of them being The President. But, I am really enjoying the sideline position, as I observe this chess-game unfold in real time.

BREAKING 🚨 Elon Musk announced he will buy a Cybertruck for anyone that can provide proof of who wrote this scripted propaganda video that is uploaded by 20+ Dem Senators saying the same thing
Video
Which ought to tell you all just how far propaganda has now come, particularly in an “AI” world of video manipulation where you literally cannot trust “your own eyes.”
Yes, they can produce “20 videos at the same time,” each of them portraying realistic interpretations of “your candidate,” whether or not it is ‘true.’ And deploy all of them at the same time.
“Suspicious Cat™.” Hang on tight, because we’re definitely in “interesting times!”
DataRepublican will probably have a new truck soon.
Somebody added context… “the Elon announcement was made March 4 2025, Senator Cory Booker responded claiming he wrote the script and declined the cybertruck.”
Forgot the topic of the day, but a couple years ago I called my Representative’s office in D.C. and told them they sucked.
They know who I am.
I received a letter a few days later.
A couple days after that someone here at the Treehouse said they’d gotten a letter from their Rep, and posted it here.
The two letters were identical.
Identical.

The secret, never-before-used CIA tool that helped find airman downed in Iran: ‘If your heart is beating, we will find you’
WASHINGTON — The CIA used a futuristic new tool called “Ghost Murmur” to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned.
The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said.
It was the tool’s first use in the field by the spy agency — and was alluded to Monday afternoon by President Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe at a White House briefing.
This source and another with knowledge of Lockheed Martin intelligence collection tools told The Post that “Ghost Murmur” was developed by Skunk Works, the aerospace giant’s secretive advanced development division. The company declined to comment.
The relatively barren landscape made for “an ideal first operational use” of Ghost Murmur, the first source said.
“The name is deliberate. ‘Murmur’ is a clinical term for a heart rhythm. ‘Ghost’ refers to finding someone who, for all practical purposes, has disappeared,” the source said.
“But advances in a field known as quantum magnetometry — specifically sensors built around microscopic defects in synthetic diamonds — have apparently made it possible to detect these signals at dramatically greater distances.”
“Normally this signal is so weak that it can only be measured in a hospital setting with sensors pressed nearly against the chest,” the source said.
Trump himself has revealed the contours of secret new technologies — including telling The Post in January that he deployed a weapon called “The Discombobulator” to disable Venezuelan defenses during the Jan. 3 raid that captured the country’s dictator Nicolas Maduro to face US drug and weapons charges.

A Day of John Brown’s Raid on Harpers Ferry, 1859
You Are There: A Graphic History Series
In the fall of 1859, the United States was a nation devouring itself over slavery, and John Brown — a 59-year-old abolitionist with the eyes of a prophet and the hands of a killer — intended to force the issue to its bloody conclusion. Born in 1800 in Connecticut and raised in Ohio by a father who preached that human bondage was an unforgivable sin against God, Brown had failed at nearly every business he ever tried, buried nine of his twenty children, and channeled his grief and fury into a single, all-consuming mission: the violent destruction of slavery.

This Word In The 14th Amendment Bans Birthright Citizenship, And It’s Not ‘Jurisdiction’
https://thefederalist.com/2026/04/06/this-word-in-the-14th-amendment-bans-birthright-citizenship-and-its-not-jurisdiction/
(Clue for Mike Robinson, the word is RESIDE.)
A couple of post-Easter reflections:
My first reflection is on the Crucifixion and the Ascension of Jesus:
We often hear that Jesus prophesized His fate at The Last Supper and in the Garden of Gethsemane but he also did it in His Sermon on the Mount, a connection that isn’t made as often. Here are the 4th and 8th of His 8 Beatitudes, both of which apply directly to Jesus’ fate:
“Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” and
“Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
He may have been talking about others too but you gotta know when Jesus shouted those words to the crowd that He knew what was coming for Him but He said it anyway! And isn’t that what bravery is all about?
My second reflection is on the power of prayer:
I often pick up my two granddaughters from school and cook their dinner while their RN mother is at work. Their father is a Hindu but the girls are being raised as Christians so I lead them in the Catholic grace before we eat.
Back in the 50s when I was a boy, Catholics made the sign of the cross as, “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost” but all the Catholics (except me) say the Holy Spirit now. I always liked Holy Ghost better because, as a kid, it reminded me of Casper the Friendly Ghost. But the girls were taught to say Holy Spirit so we always end our prayer before meals with them shouting “SPIRIT!” and me shouting “GHOST!”
We have a lot of fun with that but then I have them add a blessing for their grandmom, my wife, who died over the Christmas holidays before we eat and each time the words are a little different but the sentiment is always the same.
I hope she hears them. I don’t know for sure but I think she does and isn’t that what faith is all about?
Thank you for sharing that. It sounds like you and Jesus have things well in hand. Sorry for your loss.

Good night America, how are ya?
from my favorite Chicago crime site, scroll down a bit on the right side…Mayor Johnson’s neighborhood, Austin, had the most homicides.
I am wondering if there are lot of ‘teen trends’ going on there…
The welfare program requires – has always required for several generations, definitely since the 1980s – fully vaccinated babies & children. Nearly all the rest of the people with any other kind of medical insurance for their children also have been coerced into allowing neurotoxic poisons to be injected into their developing children; anti-social behaviors are one result.
Just sayin’.
BTW this book was written before the great mushrooming of the Vx schedule – lest anyone think the problem written about was ‘too many vaccines”…
ONE is one too many when neurotoxin cocktails are injected into a small Human; that more is exponentially more damaging is obviously notwithstanding.

Midwestern Doctor has done a couple of nicely comprehensive posts on the information in this book… well worth reading too, because he ties in other later undisputed – yet suppressed & unacknowledged – research findings that confirm & magnify the outcomes of Coulter’s earlier observations…so, follow his links

Always wondered why https://heyjackass.com/ never got more attention. Such an amazing site with volumes of real crime data on Chicago. I see it only goes back to 2016, I swear I was following that site during the BathHouse days of yore.
I see, 9 kills, 29 injured. Wow. Slow start /s

Tapper: When Trump threatened to wipe out the entire Iranian civilization, did that bother you as a diplomat?
Rutte: I’m not commenting on that. What I want you to know is… I support the president.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek thinks Rutte is a disaster. Why Trump likes this guy is perplexing.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has announced he is available for the position of Secretary General at NATO. Mind you, this man who ruined our country in less than a decade. He sold our country out to the globalist agenda, flooded it with migrants, ruined our economy and is the man behind the destruction of our farmers.
Now we know why he let the government fall some months ago – seemingly out of nowhere. It was all intentional, so he could secure himself a new job with his globalist friends. Now we know why he rushed the CETA treaty. Now we know why The Netherlands, under his rule, provided such an insane amount of financial support to Ukraine compared to other European countries. Now we know why he called the Ukraine-Russia war, “our war” and why he gave billions of our tax money to Ukraine and NATO. He was literally buying himself a new job. @EvaVlaar
How they do like to make stuff up and blather…
Of course, reality is quite different. None of their insane demands were agreed to as conditions for a ceasefire. At best they were acknowledged as starting points for negotiations. PDJT explicitly stated that Lebanon wasn’t included in the ceasefire and that the US points were also starting points for negotiations – with the US points explicitly the opposite if the nutcase’s “ceasefire violations” rhetoric.
In fact, here is the comment yesterday from Iran where they stated that the US’s 15 point proposal was indeed a basis for negotiation:
That proposal included no nukes, no enrichment, limited missile program, fully open the Strait of Hormuz, no more funding terrorism in the Middle East and others.
In positive news – another economic and industrial data point…
