THE GAME PLAN
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it.
He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough.
They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it.
You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Blessings and gratitude because He listened, and He answered our prayers.
🙏🇺🇲❤️🤍💙
I challenge you to meditate on the effect of Donald Trump. Consider the fruits of his labor and you will be amazed.
Listen to what President Trump says, his transparency in what he thinks, and the purposes behind his actions. You can see the consistency in the words he speaks, what he asks/demands of others, and the massive nearly overnight changes he is making in the world. It is amazing. It is amazing he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass, often seemingly on his own team — but less so this term.
The purposes of everything he does, plainly visible despite our battered conservative skepticism, are for benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating.
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse and rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us. He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us and the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator. These are the same principles our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that our Creator and His principles are Truth, and are the best standard by which we should live. They believed that a nation which preserves the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles was the best way to keep a nation strong.
This faith and trust in our Creator, attained and developed individually and collectively by our nation’s founders through the careful study of history, is undeniably the standard woven throughout our founding documents. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 99 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.

I know there is a Blues Brothers joke in there somewhere…
Did that stupid women that said she would stay in El Salvsdor, until the “Maryland man” was returnef to the U.S. come back empty handed, yet?
Don’t bother to drink bottled water either. It’s not necessary.
Lunch menu choices are: white toast dry or four whole fried chickens and a coke.

PoliticsNEW: China Caves On 125% Tariff For Major U.S. Export
Excerpt:
When reacting to news of the latest exemption, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hailed it as an indicator of success for the president’s tariff strategy and insisted that China will soon come to the negotiating table. While speaking from the White House on Tuesday morning, Bessent emphasized that an ongoing trade war will cost millions of Chinese jobs if the CCP does not change course.

BRAVO POTUS
{ White House orders UPenn to rescind all awards Lia Thomas won while swimming as a “woman” }
{ at the White House this week: }
Why would anyone want an award knowing it to have been obtained by false pretense?
It would seem that every time the recipient looked upon it, he’d know it to be false and not a true reflection of meritorious accomplishment. He would see his lie every time, reminding him that in actuality, he’s a failure. This guy knows he couldn’t hack it competing with other men, that in truth, he was a failure competing in men’s sports.
It would be like an able bodied person competing in Special Olympics, and winning.
I’ve thought this for years, KS. Same with other so-called awards, especially in the Black community. ..such as Miss Black America, Black Journalist of the Year, Black Country Western, etc, etc. what pride is there in that? Complain about a “level playing field” and then making certain the field isn’t level at all.
Satans grip can justify anything in the mind of these people. 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
In minds twisted this badly, the award simply validates the illusion… so twisted that false is what’s real;
the trophy confirms it –
on top of allowing him (all of the trans faction) to compete in their opposite sex competitions, and the acknowledgments so far they have all been “setting records”.
The outrage that will ensue from POTUS’ official reversal of the “superior” status of males in women’s sports will put the demonic minions into apoplexy… watch the twisted minds rage about this.
People with sound minds cannot comprehend what the twisted mind perceives is real.
jay 1776 said it much better.
Well, you unfortunately are burdened with these things called a conscience and integrity and morality and honor. It’s NOT your fault. Many people have been born this way.
Because these people are sick. They are pretenders.
Experts say Canada is now on the brink of an economic recession
https://www.blogto.com/city/2025/04/experts-canada-brink-economic-recession
“Mark Carney is elected Prime Minister and NOT EVEN 24 HOURS LATER Fitch says Canada risks losing its AAA credit rating if the Liberals implement their platform.”…..
The Carnage begins….
If Canada put its pride away and made itself inviting to visit, the exchange rate of 1 CAD to 0.72 USD would be great purchasing power for US travelers. Back in 2012 it was 1:1, and it’s been falling since.
The Canadian economy is at death’s door.
Carney will pull it through.
I read an article earlier and it was talking about what China was doing in regard to the Terriffs and they were sending people all over the world and was telling people to not do any deals with the USA because they couldnt trust President Trump and I found that to be
rather funny, its never the President that is flying spy balloons over their country and stealing from them Its never our President who is breaking into their computers taking from them, so anyone who believes china should keep in mind they will do just what they want when it comes to breaking trade deals
Why would anyone sit and wait for China to come to the table and any one who listens to them needs to get their own country together.
how truly sad, that China thinks they can just run over President Trump, Mr China I would not want to push him, You might not like the end results
They are behaving,…irratically, because evsn ss they are engaged in effirts to build a coalition to oppose President Trumps tariffs, they are engaging in behaviors guaranteed to antagonise the very countries whose solidsrity they are seeking.
This is the sign of an unstable regime. President Trump continues to prrsent the Panda face, saying nice things about his good friend Xi, and saying they are talking regularly, even as Chyna foolishly insists there are no talks…China does not play well with others, and has alienated every neighbor it shares a border or even those in its neighborhood.
Overfish in OUR waters, bully us for years, and NOW you want our help?
Hence it is the Asian Nations Presifent Trumps team is negotiating with, first to freeze out Chyna,..THEN he will settle the EU’s fate, by breaking it up as he offers to make generous trade agreements, on a BI-LATERAL basis.
Eu is just a dead organisation wslking, has been for years, and will topple with very little effort.
Tariffs, put soft power back in the hands of the POTUS, and out of the hands of the cia,.
“ China does not play well with others, and has alienated every neighbor it shares a border or even those in its neighborhood.”
Yes! That’s why there’s the saying, “China is asshoe.”
The stereotypical Chinaman has always been portrayed as sneaky, slinking about under cover (Charlie Chan and Number One Son excepted).
India prepared to ‘future-proof’ trade deal as sweetener in US talks, sources say – The Economic Times
NEW DELHI -New Delhi is prepared to include a sweetener in trade talks with Washington that would “future-proof” a deal by ensuring no other trade partners could have superior terms, as it pushes for a quick agreement with the Trump administration, Indian government officials said.
The “forward most-favored-nation” clause, rarely granted by India in previous trade negotiations, would automatically apply to the U.S. any more favorable tariff arrangements that might be agreed with other countries, two officials with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
“This clause, in a sense, future-proofs the U.S. deal and is the only way to do so,” one of the officials said.
The officials declined to be identified because of the private and sensitive nature of the negotiations.
https://m.economictimes.com/news/economy/foreign-trade/india-prepared-to-future-proof-trade-deal-as-sweetener-in-us-talks-sources-say/articleshow/120730516.cms
Notice the emphasis on how India is wanting a deal inked “quickly” which means the current situation is painful, and untenable.
And, if its that uncomfortable for India, it must be worse for Chyna and the EU.
According to Chyna watcher Gordon Chang, Chyna is engaging in erratic behaviors which presage regime change.
As for the EU,. there is +-0- legacy media coverage of the mass demonstrations across europe, protesting the immigrstion policies, and the “alt-right” MEGA parties are gaining on the Uniparties, every day.
So, potential for regime change there, as well.
Tariffs are not JUST about trade, they are a tool for applying soft power, which is directly controlled by President Trump, unlike the USAID and blfack project CIA.
The muslims recently butchered a bunch of Indians. Fear porn says that Pakistan and India are on the brink of war, if true, it would be wise for India to have the biggest and meanest dog on their side. This could be one motivator for India to be wanting to make nice with the USA. The world thought that Russia would walk thru Ukraine when their war started, yet our weapons and intel has allowed Ukraine to make Russia’s ambitions very painful, India knows this.
India and Pakistan have always hated each other
and one can usually tell a Pakistani from an Indian
Pakistani’s are dirty and rude
Didn’t Pakistan used to be part of India?
Here’s an article on that history: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-62467438 Partition: Why was British India divided 75 years ago?
its a good strategy for India to move quickly
their companies can replace chinese goods
I see more products made in India now
they can improve on that while China sits
in a corner with their thumb in their mouth
I don’t think India loves the USA anymore than china does. Bring the manufacturing into the USA or reciprocal tariff the products plus ten percent.
And India can keep all those workers aspiring to be H1B workers.
English language helps.
Western separation is unlikely, Alberta political scientist says. Here’s what might happen instead
Excerpt:
Existing frustrations already led Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to introduce the Alberta Sovereignty Act back in 2022. More recently, she issued a list of six demands to Carney that she argued were necessary to avoid a “national unity crisis.”
And those frosty intergovernmental relations haven’t improved over the course of the campaign.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/western-separatism-a-pipe-dream-alberta-political-scientist-says-hostile-intergovernmental-relations-are-another-story
Best of luck to Alberta.
One of my most memorable experiences of driving thru North America was going thru Alberta listening to Enya.
Me and my guy were totally silent and captured by the scene around us for miles and miles.
It was really beautiful. And absolutely no other cars anywhere. Just lovely scenery.
Enya and Alberta, what a great pairing!
The. Best. !!!!!!!
I was in Calgary, Alberta during the winter on business in the early 70s and a chinook wind came up over the mountains and melted all the snow in town! It was spectacular, the sky was all gray clouds except for this crescent shaped blue sky at the top of the mountains as warm air poured in! Hard to describe but it was incredible and didn’t last too long.
Love the chinook winds.
We got ’em in Montana, too.
It’s such a pleasant surprise to suddenly get a warm winter day appear out of nowhere, brought by *wind* no less !
I lived in Calgary, Alberta for three years not long ago. The Canadian Rockies are some of the most epic and beautiful mountains that I have ever seen – and I have traveled the world.
I was stunned the 1st time I saw them.
They made the US Rockies look like hills in comparison!
Apple ‘aims to source all US iPhones from India’, reducing reliance on China | Apple | The Guardian
Apple is reportedly planning to switch assembly of all iPhones for the US market to India as the company seeks to reduce its reliance on it’s Chinese manufacturing base amid Donald Trump’s trade war. IPhones manufactured in China would be sold in other markets around the world.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/25/apple-source-us-iphones-india-china-trump-trade-war
Apple to invest $500 billion here…..for what?
An Apple supply chain expert, said last month that the US economy did not have the facilities or the flexible labour to assemble iPhones…….(wonder what that means?)
Training 200,000-300,000 people to come in and assemble iPhones is simply not practical…….unless it’s done in India?
Stop buying them. Simple!
Means we don’t have a huge swath of people willing to work ludicrous hours for $20 per day.
Why don’t you try it? “Steve would have.”
No IPhone production is planned in the US.
why not US?
Lucky boy! What a great thing to have a talent for /love of music from an early age.
Yep, President Trump needs Trump Rallies and So Do We (MAGA / America First).

I’d like to start by punching that moron in his smug ignant mug.
Imagine how he must feel now. He gets his big moment and goes home with his a$$ being handed to him. Lol
Never to be invited back. Frankly I’m surprised PDJT didn’t walk out.
Good evening Maquis. I’ll be a lady and just say I would aim a kick further down on his anatomy!
I just can not stand these arrogant asses!
Hope you have a great evening.
He could have been helping his wife sew their children’s school clothes and accidentally dipped the needle into an open bottle of ink and with all the talking, praying and arm movements, wrote “MS 13” on his own knuckles. It has happened many times before. I’m sure we all know someone that’s done that.
We should all be confronting lies like that.
The lack of respect for POTUS, and his interruptions is disgusting!
Not to mention the lack of respect for *the Truth*.
Professional Pathological liars is all the presstitutes are.
POTUS did hand him his arse, so didn’t let him get away with it.
I can’t listen when these media fools show no respect by constantly interrupting President Trump. Somebody should throw those a$$es out of the peoples’ house.
BTW, they can be photoshopped off just as easy as they can be photoshopped on. 😉
Oh….. that is a beautiful way to start the day.
LOL!!!!
Every other Republican Presidential candidate since President Reagan has kissed the asses of the fake IC run mockingbird msm except President Trump!!! The extraordinary thing is those propagandists that President Trump confronts about being “fake news” don’t believe him and don’t believe we agree with President Trump!!! That’s how delusion they are!!! JMO
Call your reps and make sure they all vote “yea” on this one >>> No Ranked Choice in Federal Elections.
If they want to screw up their State Elections, whatever. But keep that crap out of Federal Elections.
“If they want to screw up their State Elections,”
State elections determine Electoral Collage representation. Fair state elections matter.
Yes. They absolutely do.
But, for now, just make sure they don’t screw up Federal elections with RCV.
The way we should be controlling State elections/Electoral College is getting fake voters off the lists.
A lot of states have too many EC votes because of fake population counts. Legal Citizens *only* should count toward population.
If this gets passed, we can finally rid ourselves of Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.
And that idiot in Maine. Murk’s twin.
Exactly! The same goes for valid ID only before voting.
Here’s the TGP article, that the twit is “waiting Approval ” for.

I am wondering if I am becoming super sensitive, but I am starting to notice that Citizen Free Press is now publishing many articles from left wing sites. Politico, Yahoo, CNBC and others. Incidentally, I don’t recall him ever posting a Sundance article.
Citizen Free Press may very well go the way of Drudge. I still go to Citizens Free Press, but not as often as I once did.
Don’t want to dredge up Drudge— but what a bizarre metamorphosis that was!
Not bizarre if you think through the DS and its established media control mechanisms.
$$$$$. Drudge got $$$$$$ from USAID or any of the other government bureaucracies that claim that they are “fighting misinformation”.
He sold out for money.
Same here. Not sure what is going on there.
I also notice he links a lot of stories that are on Drudge.
Most of those links are used to highlight the lunacy of our larger media. CFP has also linked this site a bit.
I’m not here to defend, but I don’t think that site is flipping out a la drudge.
I generally just look at the headlines there.
All media seems to be giving those democrat fools a platform including Fox. I’ve stopped all of it except for CTH because it’s all democrat foolishness all the time and it is so disgusting.
the issue I have with Citizen Free Press is that one doesn’t know if the article posted
is a hit job until one opens the link
and, yes, they are posting more communist leftist articles every day
😥

Hahahaha – now that is a Karen. My goodness, even triggered by a smile.
I believe there is a reason for celebrating all of the children.
President Trump and the MAGA message is: We want lots of babies!
It was great to see so much coverage of the Easter celebration at the White House with all the children.

We gotta make sure all those babies get raised right!
There are people that say women have to choose between a career and a family.
How much greater proof can you have that those people are wrong than this beautiful historic picture?
They’re not wrong. We cannot serve 2 masters.
If you have a career (or just a full time job), someone else is your child’s primary caregiver.
It also emphasizes that this administration values women for who they are, WOMEN! In this picture, Karoline epitomizes the strong Mom role, her first priority is on her hip, oh yeah, while talking to the President of the United States!

However I am now cross-eyed and dizzy! But the work space does seem to be “organized” hmmmm what’s that about.
She gets more attractive by the day. Too bad that’s the first time I’ve seen her since I gave up Fox on sElection Night 2020.
She has a creative mind – it works best with a lot of visual stimulation… “flowing water purifies itself”.
Empty space is the opposite of inspiring; it feels stagnating; nothing sparks nothing.
Everything there has meaning and she knows where everything is… each thing is placed deliberately.
Makes perfect sense to me!
Good explanation of how the Human brain works – and how we can command it to work for us… synchronizing our hemispheres & creating brain-&-Heart coherence –
rather than be stagnant or allow usurpers to hack & direct it…

Nice to see patriot Trish Regan who gave up her lucrative gig at Faux News to expose the Covid op as a Coup against PDJT & We The People, murdering thousands of Americans & destroying livelihoods and businesses.
Wise observation and words from miss Regan.
As someone who enjoyed all the success of the New England Patriots and watching this head coach in action, I believe we are watching a performance of sorts.
Bill Belichick is a genius and a master strategist. This performance we are seeing with him and this granddaughter aged girl is completely out of character.
I have to suspect there is a bigger game in play.
While this young girl is very young, she is an adult and is of the age of consent. The perception is creepy but it’s just that perception.
I believe that is the game we are seeing. I believe Bill is drawing attention. That’s his role.
Ask yourself, what other people have been suspected of engaging in “activities” against those who are not of the age of consent? What crimes have been committed?
As President Trump asked last year, where are those 300,000 children?
When President Trump asks questions like that, he already knows the answer.
Major criminal clean up operation I suspect.
There was a op attempting to target patriots owner who had publicly supported his friend pdjt. Bill came from the NY giants a long time ago. I’m sure he has connections to pdjt because just everyone in the NYC sports world did.

Precious little guy.
This kid’s proximity to Trump makes me wonder if there’s something nefarious under the radar we may hopefully be privy to in the near future, anyone?
Gotta keep an eye on that little booger wiper! He rubbed his nose and grabbed the railing as President Trump begins down the stairs in the video..
Elon needs to get the kid a handkerchief or a packet of tissues. Who wrangles him during meetings I wonder?
I’ve seen some women standing nearby in pictures from Mar-a-Lago and also when they were outdoors with the Teslas.
Who has the job of wiping down that helicopter? LOL. He’s a kid, and that’s what kids do.
I am well aware. I am sure Elon doesn’t give X any technology to play with just like the other Silicon Valley Elites which means he plays with actual kinetic toys which I am also sure are scattered about AF1 hence the empty tote bag he was carrying off the plane..
Care to elaborate?
The government mafia is not beneath threatening one’s children. Elon has had lots of threats against him…I would assume his family is not off limits…nor that of the POTUS.

Let the courts loose. These guys will fight injunctions and state politics for years. Absolutely pathetic.
They should round up the enormous amounts of private resources outing the cheat and bring the most reliable to the fore and give them the microphone.
Of greatest importance in voter integrity is the elimination of mail-in ballots! Top priority!
Kristi Noem?
That isn’t good.
Good news! Now get this up and running asap so the midterms are protected.
The vote-flipping machines must go. You can’t certify something you can’t understand.
In-person voting starts on Saturday, ends on Tuesday evening, preventing long lines and making it easier for people who work to vote. Mail-in ballots only, with a request made at least two months in advance, with a notary stamp.
ID checked, paper ballots, hand counted, in full public view (web cam or similar), at the precinct level. Results by the end of Tuesday. 10% random audit of all precincts’ tally of voters and ballot results. Only ballots received before the close of the election can be counted.
Election Day used to be a holiday, with a half-day of school, presumably so teachers could vote.
Voting from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. should be enough for working people to make it to the polls, but who knows, with the erratic schedules many Americans are forced to work these days?
Early voting, in my local area, somehow flipped local offices to the least popular incumbent getting the most votes, and the most popular losing his seat.
Blue is considered a morning color for gentlemen in Europe.
The King of England and Prince of Wales often wear it when paying respects to personal friends and the DM goes out of their way to explain the protocol.
Pretty funny that is what it is down to.
The Prince of Wales was in fact in a blue suit, three rows behind PDJT.
6-7 rows back, there were some blue suits…
I know this post is about President Trump’s suit color and the media lunacy surrounding it, but I couldn’t help but notice the respect given to President Trump by all in attendance.
From a security standpoint, it made sense that his suit color stood out from the rest of the suits in the crowd. Easier to spot and keep track of.
The police and military were saluting him and the other world leaders were all eager to show their respect for him.
If you listen to the fake news media, they would have you believe the rest of the world thinks he’s “Mickey the Dunce”, but the respect we saw shown to President Trump told a completely different story.
Who should we trust? The media or our own lying eyes. That event was a great display on the world stage.
Honestly, it appeared as if he was considered the “Supreme Commander” by all in attendance.
Notice, an aisle seat

“Not a story.” Not interested. Got anything better to publish? Didn’t think so …
Hey if it makes Mad cow lose her mind, I am all for it.
I’m trying to find out what the Vatican actually said about this. All I have found yet is this, from an Italian newspaper, as reported by Newsweek:
“Il Messaggero, a prominent Italian national newspaper based in Rome, reported that the attire and order for Pope Francis’ funeral, according to Vatican protocols, should be as follows:
“For men, dark suit with a long black tie and a button of the same color on the left lapel of the jacket, where only Vatican honors can be placed. For women, a black dress, preferably long, of the same color as gloves and veil on the head, with the only allowed ornament being a string of pearls.”
So, is this the Italian paper’s interpretation or opinion, or were they looking at an actual announcement from the Vatican?
Did any news outlet actually look this up for themselves?
Were these suggestions, or did it say this on the invitation?
Pope Francis himself broke with tradition, didn’t he?
I’m sick of hearing “requirements” and protocols”.
He has a flag pin on his lapel too.
Where is the ask??????
Keep passing out the rope!
Ugh. That’s my Governor. Sadly, the WI Supreme Court just got another liberal Dem in the last election. Tony’s day are hopefully numbered IF the good ppl of WI wake the heck up! He also instructed all state employees how to subvert the efforts of ICE. They are to gather the agents’ information, check their badges, and then escort the officers to an enclosed office. If possible, they should seat ICE away from the rest of the office. Then they should call the lawyers.

I just read an article at the Daily Mail about Afrikaners lining up to emigrate to the States.
LOL!
This is great!
I clicked on the Gutfeld post by nwtex above and stumbled on this great impersonation of the “Fake Indian”. Tough to believe this was five years ago. I’m pretty sure it’s Kat Timph playing Pocahontas.

“She’s done a very good job,” he added. “She was very much involved working with the Republicans on saving it.”
Poor Gretchen, she has put herself in a very bad spot politically. LOL
I’m still laughing at the posterboards for all the criminal illegals displayed on the White House lawn. Only Trump could have come up with an idea that is so insanely funny.
I wasn’t following the news cycle so closely (work), but I saw a video pop up on my YouTube feed about it.
Unbelievable! MSNBC actually blurred the mugshots of the rapists, drug dealers, and murderers on the White House lawn

CNN mocked for blurring arrested migrant signs on White House lawn
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-14659409/CNN-mocked-blurring-arrested-migrant-signs-White-House-lawn.html
MSNBC and CNN mocked world wide.
So the media had the Truth right in front of them and they made a choice to “blur” the Truth?
Sounds like this story is not about the pictures of the criminals but is actually about how the fake news and very fake news criminals “blur” the Truth. Criminals protecting criminals. See how it works?
This has to be the work of Stephen Miller. Genius!
Are they all just “Maryland Dads”? If they are then why the need to blur them?
I have a hunch we haven’t heard “the rest of the story” about this Maryland Dad.
Waiting for the deep dive from the DOGE crew on him. Too many making too big of a deal about this one person for there not to be more to this story. Trafficking? For who? How was he funded? Answer that question and we’ll be shouting biNGO!
Let’s see what happens.
I think it was Stephen too.
The left-wing “media” are bringing even more attention to the mug shot posters than would have occurred if they just ignored them and didn’t blur them.
I am always amazed at how excellent the left is at strategy (way better than the GOP for sure), but totally suck at tactics.
House Democrat Shri Thanedar Introduces Impeachment Articles Against Trump
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/04/28/house-democrat-shri-thanedar-introduces-impeachment-articles-against-trump/
The man behind the newest Articles of Impeachment against Trump
Thanedar’s campaign drowning in $730K debt while pushing impeachment stunts? Classic D.C. grift. FEC filings show a $1.2M “investment loss” magically becomes a taxpayer-funded cash grab.
These financial facts suggest that Thanedar’s Articles of Impeachment are less of a political move and more of a fundraising stunt and a way to deflect attention from possibly problematic financial moves. – DOGEai
The constant efforts to impeach Trump are becoming a drag. Moreover, it seems that Thanedar, dogged by allegations of business fraud and sleazy financial manipulation, is the last person who should be accusing Trump of wrongdoing. – DOGEai
Thanedar’s $1.2M “loss” mirrors classic laundering tactics—disguising personal debt relief as legitimate campaign activity. Funneling donor cash through fabricated losses to erase liabilities fits the legal definition of transactional fraud.
This guy is setting himself up to be a Democratic George Santos.
He tortured animals with chemicals for a living.. Deport this subhuman back to wherever.

Aren’t we now being a little hard on Satan? 🤡

UPS plans to cut about 20,000 jobs and close 73 facilities as it reduces the volume of shipments it handles for Amazon, its largest customer. This decision is part of a broader strategy to reconfigure its network and cut costs amid economic uncertainty.
Forbes:
UPS To Cut 20,000 Jobs In 2025 After Slashing Amazon Shipments
Apr 29, 2025
UPS announced Tuesday it would lay off 20,000 workers this year, despite beating first-quarter profit estimates, as the shipping giant expects a decline in deliveries after cutting its shipments for Amazon in half earlier this year.
But, no, it’s tariffs! /s
USA Today
UPS cutting around 20,000 jobs amid ‘new or increased tariffs‘; 164 buildings closing
The parcel delivery service announced 12,000 layoffs in January 2024 following a substantial year-over-year decline in revenue. [due to Amazon using more of its own delivery system and more use of USPS instead of UPS which is my experience? – W]
UPS is Union. Teamsters were just bragging about the contract they have negotiated. There’s been a rash of large trucking companies folding the last few years with help from the Teamsters.
AI overview that only mentions pay raise. No pension / healthcare funding which also increase.
“The new five-year UPS Teamsters contract includes significant wage increases. Existing full- and part-time UPS Teamsters will receive a $2.75 per hour raise in 2023, and the total wage increase over the contract’s life will be $7.50 per hour. Additionally, part-time workers will see their pay increase to at least $21 per hour immediately and progress to $23 per hour by the end of the contract”
I suspect the tariffs will be used as an excuse by many companies to excuse financial results as they unwind from operations dependent on government excess, globalist, DEI, and fake news.
On declining birth rates and pending financial collapse.
The Veto With No Override
Karl Denninger

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=253211
[snip]
But my central point is that women have a final veto and always have when it comes to these matters and we strengthened it, a lot, with effective contraception. Prior to that the veto still existed but exercising it meant depriving yourself of sexual congress and thus the enjoyment of same; today that is simply no longer true and that Genie is not going back in the bottle.
[snip]
The best time to address all this was decades ago — back in the 1990s when MFN status was being put on the table for China, offshoring was ramping up and Ross Perot was presenting charts and talking about giant sucking sounds. He could think in a forward direction over a period of decades and tried to sell it to America. He failed, whether due to the officially-claimed cause (his family being threatened and thus withdrawing) or whether he just realized that even though he knew he was right, and he was proved right by the way through the fullness of time, that he would not win anyway and thus he was wasting the time he had left in his mortal coil and would be better off not to do so.
The problem is this: Here we are 15 years after I wrote Leverage and expounded on several of the largest issues in this regard. Exactly zero of those issues have had anything productive done about any of them — by either political party.
NOT ONE has been addressed and in fact all of them have been made worse.

Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World Hardcover (2017)
by Karl Denninger (Author), Charles Hugh Smith (Foreword)
How the wealthy and powerful abuse finance to skim immense profits
Debasement of the dollar as a result of ill-use of leverage is destroying the global economy, and in Leverage, well known market commentator Karl Denninger follows the path of money throughout history to prove that currencies are debased when moneyed and powerful interests pull the levers of government and policy to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. The result is ugly: the value of everything―including gold―falls, and even personal safety is at risk in a world where there is limited money even for essentials like food and fuel. History is littered with the collapse of monetary and economic systems from Rome to Germany to Zimbabwe.
Presents an inside look at how moneyed and powerful interests debase the dollar through the willful and intentional failure to honestly represent short and long-term mathematical truths that underlie all economic systems
Shows how, if imbalances are not corrected, financial crises will reoccur again and again

The Winners and Losers in 21st Century America
Statistical games can be played to mask the realities of our neofeudal economy, but “narrative control” can’t obscure the facts or the banquet of consequences that these realities have set.
Charles Hugh Smith
https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-winners-and-losers-in-21st-century.html
Not everyone in America gained ground as a result of the rampant hyper-financialization and hyper-globalization of the 21st century. Let’s begin our analysis of who gained ground and who lost ground in the year 2001, when China entered the WTO (World Trade Organization) and offshoring / globalization shifted into high gear and when the Federal Reserve began ramping up its financialization / monetary manipulation–oops, sorry, policy interventions.
The top 1% and the top 10% gained ground. The bottom 90% lost ground, especially the bottom 50%. Wage earners lost ground, while corporate insiders, financiers, speculators using leverage and those lucky enough to be born long enough ago to buy assets at pre-bubble valuations gained ground.
If you want to argue with these facts, argue with the Federal Reserve Database. All these charts are drawn from the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED Database.
[big snip]
And yet, I am also reminded of the fairy-tale of Rumpelstiltskin. “All that free money” is actually smelly straw, painted gold. Because “all those trillions of Almighty US Dollars” no longer correspond to a global powerhouse of manufacturing to accompany demand, they have become meaningless.
Ships arrive at our ports, unload, take on ballast, and sail home empty.
Donald Trump, in particular, is businessman enough to understand this. The only other President that we have had who was a self-made millionaire was Jimmy Carter, and his business was agriculture.
You cannot actually “pull money out of thin air” by “borrowing from yourself.” As more and more Dollars appear, they are inevitably worth less and less. There’s only one way to fix this, and it doesn’t involve “Federal Reserve prime interest rates.” You have to make your country “great again,” and you alone can do it. No one else will do it for you. (Why on earth should they?)
Look at the Amish, quietly constructing homes for flood victims, repairing roads, building bridges…
Talk about making lives great again with zero applause, recognition or fanfare.
This country has so many unsung heroes.
God bless them! 🙏
