In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Posted in Uncategorized
Praying! Praying for our country to daily see more clearly that God is our Creator and Savior. That we as a nation will continue to develop a desire to know him and the way we were created to live. Pray that we in MAGA more and more grow to see the principles of our Creator as the optimum principles by which to live. Lord please open our eyes to see you, to submit to you, and to begin reflecting your glory as we are transformed in your influence. Let us truly be a light in the darkness, a city on the hill, a people whose wisdom and life attracts others to want to know you.
Help us rid our lives of sin and disobedience. Let us reflect your love, grace, and mercy to others, yet an unwavering strength in our convictions on how to live. Let us have wisdom in how we as individuals shape our nation and our government servants in our constitutional republic.
Give me the heart, energy, and strength to reflet you as I work and interact with my family and friends today.
Amen
Amen, Country Doc.
Thank you ed.
Amen
Amen!
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.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
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.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
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.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
Version 5/3/25
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
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 hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
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 the 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; who respect 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, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. 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 302 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.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Amen
AMEN
Good morning America, how are ya?

Steve Goodman wrote City of New Orleans when he was quite young and I think he first recorded it in 1971 or so.
Arlo Guthrie covered it and his rendition took off like a rocket.

Oh, yeah!
Didn’t Willie cover this song with Dottie West, too?
Long years ago, in the early 80s in New Orleans Pete Seeger was doing an outdoor concert and he covered it in grand fashion.

Some American cities are seeing a growing trend of churches being purchased by local Muslim communities and converted into mosques.
The 2020 American Mosque Survey counts 2,769 mosques in the country, a jump of more than thirty percent in ten years.
Most are converted buildings, very often former churches, at a time when more than seven thousand churches have shut down or been sold since 2000.

Somehow almost as if it were all planned ahead of time. But still VERY sad….
Orthodox Churches are bursting at the seams.. maybe it’s just the Protestant Chirches that fell off..
Greek Orthodox?
The last and current popes are ruining the Roman Catholic Church. Yes some Protestant churches are doing same thing. Ordaining gays and trans, the traditional churches are not. I had been attending the Methodist Church. The Pastor tried to explain to me that we know knew more about human sexuality. I pointed out the Romans and pagans knew about and practiced homosexualality, peophilia, and had people living as the other sex. That the only difference is now there are drugs and surgeries. That Christianity was a rejection of those morals. I quit that Church and went back to the Missouri synod church in which I had been raised that is biblically based. So is the Wisconsin synod, but the LCA (Lutheran Church of America) is like the reform churches. You cannot pick and choose from the Bible, and they seem to want to throw out all St. Paul’s writings, and letters which are books of the Bible. My church is indeed busting at the seams, has it’s own elementary school and a coop high with the other churches of the synod in the city with lots of young couples with lots of children of all ages. My old Methodist Church is dying a slow death and many member churches are leaving for good.
Orthodox Christian prayers are collected in several categories that deal with some of this life’s challenges.

Curious about how much foreign money is driving this?
Partial AI response to question;
Foreign governments and entities have funded mosque construction in the United States, particularly in earlier decades. After large-scale Muslim immigration began in the 1960s, countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran commonly financed the building of mosques across the U.S.. For example, from 2013 to 2016, the Turkish government provided $100 million to construct the Diyanet Center of America, the largest mosque complex in the U.S., located in Lanham, Maryland. This center, funded by Turkey’s religious directorate, includes an Ottoman-style mosque, guesthouses, a recreation center, and conference facilities.
Qatar supports anti-American terrorists and legitimizes the Iranian terror regime that vows “Death to America” and tried to assassinate President Trump.
Don’t fall for Doha’s pro-US facade. Qatar consistently acts against America’s interests
Other speakers at this Iranian conference are the Qatari Prime Minister and spokesman of Qatar’s Foreign Ministry. Doha and Tehran are united in their pursuit of their goal to destroy America

We hear you and we know this. And it is helpful to get reminders. At the same time, the reminders feel like they carry a deeply buried anger at Pres Trump that he deals with all world leaders as he works to put America first on the world stage. It has been a VERY long time.
Ever since globalists (in house — Dems the active agents; GOPe the enablers) decided the USA should enter and “lose” the Vietnam War, each “war” or military action” thereafter was designed to kill American young men and women and to squander and corrupt American prosperity for the purpose of America “losing” on the world stage, China’s triumph (rep GOPe) and Islamist victory (rep Dems, the “agents”). Coup de gras – 9/11. That is, until TRUMP.
No national leader on the world stage worth his/her salt talks to/works with only their friends and allies.
I wish faithful CTH readers and reporters whose efforts I value and read early every morning could comment with more charity and insight about what Pres Trump might do – rather than with mainly this is absolutely wrong and dangerous. It almost feels like another (not-purposeful, caring and compassionate) split-MAGA effort.
Timing might be important. Strategy might include some wisdom.
“Strategy might include some wisdom.”
Reading the news includes choosing wisdom in having a strategy to discern what is read.
Pay attention to what is not in the morning news. Discern that.
Do you think we’re in a hot war ?
It sounds like you are upset that PDJT is dealing with Qatar.
PDJT must deal with ALL World Leaders…even those we consider enemies or hostile.
Qatar is strategically located and it is very important for our country to not necessarily cultivate them as an ally (which would be ideal) but to at least try to prevent them from being an enemy.
President Trump is doing a great job, generally, with regard to international diplomacy.
He’s fighting the globalist world order cabal.
If anyone thinks they can do a better job than President Trump, then by all means, step right up.
Or just sit there and criticize, whatever.
Qatar absolutely needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later.
0.o
Nothing wrong with criticism – unless of course one wants to shut down free speech.
Otherwise, you are right in that the situation with Qatar has many nuances. You are correct that criticism without context, strategy, statement of goals/objectives does not amount to much.
Dear 47FuzzySweaters,
It is my opinion that you have made a clearly intelligent and insightful comment about the need for President Trump to strategically communicate with the outside world.
It is a dangerous planet. The greatest strength we have is a leader who has the ability to treat other leaders honestly and with as much compassion for their national situation as is possible.
President Trump has always been transparent about leading the world to respect one another. He is the only president in our lifetime that has not used his position to benefit from bloody death and war torn destruction.
Here is wishing you a marvelous Thanksgiving feast with loved ones.
Thank you, Miss Denise.
Be blessed, dear.

Qatar is a vile country. They took 13 Australian women off a plane on the runway at Doha airport and had them all examined gynaecologically to see if any of them had given birth in the last 12/24 hours.
They were escorted off their flight by armed Qatari authorities, some women claimed they were made to take off their underwear and subjected to non-consensual gynaecological inspections by a nurse in ambulances on the tarmac.
Someone had dumped a newborn baby in a bin at the airport
They NEVER apologised
They NEVER paid reparations
Happened in 2020
NOW FINALLY those women have won the right to sue Qatar
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australian-women-win-right-sue-qatar-airways-over-forced-strip-searches-2025-07-24/
SO dont tell me ANYTHING NICE ABOUT THOSE BASTARDS IN QATAR
But cherry-picking salacious articles could lead one to believe America is the same, in clouding our governments.
👮 🧩🧩🧩
What happened to the baby?
Was the baby still alive?
Depending on their laws…if the baby was deceased…
would that be punishment under their laws? Homicide?
And considered a crime scene..and possible suspects?
And if the baby was found alive…abandoning it in a
trash bin in a public place…would that be a crime under
their laws?

I’m not sure that Mr Fischberger, a member of the IDF, is actually motivated by a deep concern for America. He’s concerned about his own country and wants to see our country solve his countries problems.
He is concerned about the US as well
It should be noted that Eitan Fischberger is a former IDF staff sergeant and is a US-Israeli citizen.
But remember, it is “antisemitic” to talk about dual loyalty. So simply “noting” that makes you a Jew hater.

Well said!

So sad that conservatism has its own ‘woke’ and imitates the same leftist evils in applying ‘woke’ to its people.
Sounded as if they were following NY Slimes ‘woke’ tyranny to a tee.
The professional conservative movement is as big a scam as the GOP establishment.

No ma’am that is an observational statement.
What’s the expectation? Complete conformity?
He’s playing the little fiddle of always trying to get in the last word. It is tiresome.

Well, truth has no agenda. If someone can point to a lie I’ve told, then fair enough – I’ll gladly eat crow.
I’ve commented here 15 years now. What I post is the truth…so to paint me as a newcomer is well… shortsighted.
If the truth has no agenda, and I post the truth then there should be no “will” because there is no agenda
The human mind is a wonderful organ,capable of wonderful things. The one thing the human mind is incapable of is creating truth.

The anti President comments on the other thread is a little concerning.
They are completely ignoring the fact that the courts have refused to allow release of documents from everyone including Dershowitz
Now that he has called for the release…AGAIN, watch them now go back to that very argument… “well you know muh courts…muh lawsuits…
Same isht different day.
In politics there is what is desirable and what is possible. I will wait and see how thing play out before deciding who is right and who let us down. Trump is hampered in every effort by district judges and a lying media, gets little to no support from the GOP in the legislature and is often reduced to doing what is possible.
All of it part and parcel to the act before us. No one on here seems to be raising any red flags about the advance of the police state under Trump (no more pennies, digital dollars, palantir, etc). To me, this is all just more theater to keep folks from seeing what the JINOs (aka SOS – syn of sa+an) are constructing around them. Yet if it were kumswallah the supposed maga crowd would be up in arms. This is shrub Jr and paytriot act 2.0.
No more pennies is not satanic it is economics.
The plan to end the penny in the U.S. was first proposed as part of a broader discussion on currency reform in the early 2000s. Specifically, the U.S. Mint proposed eliminating the penny in 2006 due to rising production costs and inflation, which made the coin less practical.
In 2011, the Mint conducted a survey showing that a significant portion of Americans supported the idea of discontinuing the penny.
Canada officially ended the use of the penny on February 4, 2013.
Inflation is the cause not Trump. One cent hasn’t went away, it will be present in pricing, the final total of the bill will be rounded up or down, depending which is closer to O or 5. It’s not really complicated or evil.
I am also not in favor or the digital dollar, but this started long before Trump with direct deposit of paychecks and debit cards. When it the last time you got a paycheck and had to cash it at the bank? For me 4 decades, my employer started direct deposit in the mid 1980’s.
Debit cards were first introduced in the 1960s.However, it wasn’t until the late 1970s and early 1980s that debit cards began to gain significant traction, especially with the introduction of the ATM card that allowed for direct bank account access. The average person choose convenience over cash. The government loved it, they now can track every penny you earn and spend.
Trump just sees the direction we are going and wants to make the US a leader. He really has no power to stop it, and even if he did the next Democratic president would be in favor of digital currency.
Trump is in charge. If this were a dem – folks would ne up in arms
Period…but they give a pass to their guy. These are similar excuses to shurb Jr and patriot act – oh he just sees the signs of the times…the terrorists were around before him… yada yada yada
And yes – removal of anonymously spending cash is satanic… the penny just step one
lol!
Free the pennies!
Morning entertainment I guess.
I was 100% against the Patriot act. Two Senators spoke out against it, Ron Paul and a Democrat, Wisconsin’s Russ Feingold. Paul caved only Feingold voted against it. He lost to Ron Johnson. So much for doing the right thing. Don’t get me wrong I live in Wisconsin and support Ron Johnson a very good Senator, but we also have the disaster New Yorker Tammy Baldwin as a Senator. But as I said politics is the possible.
People scream no matter what happens.
Agreed. The US used to mint a half-penny for 64 years until 1857, and it was phased out because of the increased value of copper. The “large cent”, a penny slightly larger in diameter than today’s quarter, was also reduced in size.
So it’s not the first time that the US has reorganized its currency, and it won’t be the last.
In the immortal words of the Talking Heads David Byrne…..
“Stop making sense”. LOL.
Same as it always was.
What’s the argument in play here?
Yes the UK quit minting the sixpence a while back too.
In our discussions, we have to make sure not to conflate electronic banking (debit cards, direct deposit, CashApp) with another animal entirely, and that is programmable digital currency.
There is nothing inherently wrong with electronic banking. Also, we have to do everything in our power to preserve the use of cash money. Cash can be used when the electricity is down.
The gateway to programmable digital currency is a biometric digital ID. Without a biometric digital ID, the whole programmable currency system won’t work.
I’m just pointing out the difference in electronic banking and the hideous control the government would have over us with a Central Bank Digital Currency.
Keep up the reminders.
The government already has hideous control. Ask anyone debanked in the last few years in the US or Canada. The credit card companies even went along with reporting gun purchases.
I argued to increase the value of our currency, as opposed to countries around the world decreasing the value of their currencies. For example, legislate that at 12 midnight, next January 1, the decimal point on all dollar contracts would be moved one place to the left. Then each penny would be worth one of today’s dimes.
My idea fell with a thud — no one was interested. So goodbye to the poor penny: you jingled in our pockets, but you are wanted no more.
I find it hard to believe you are upset that the US has outgrown the use of pennies.
Explain why. How does that make us a police state.
I’m keeping my big jar of pennies I have accumulated and will pass them down to grandchildren. Someday one or two of those pennies might be rare.
Mission creep
When was the last time You counted out 4 pennies to make the correct change in a purchase? They cost more to make than their purchase value. POTUS is doing all he can to save the tax payers money, what a pity that you think you can do better.
I don’t have digital money but my daughter and some friends do. I don’t begrudge them that but currently it isn’t for me.
Yep, while quite comfortable with different mediums of exchange, and financially literate.
We have never used a debit card, use only one credit card for major or sizeable purchases.
It is likely that digital transactions are “ the way of the future “ and we will need to adapt.
For those that want it..good luck to them.
Using cash for all things that using the C.C. doesn’t garner useful points, is helpful for any of us that like me are Scottish 😉
Cheers to all!
Okie…

All true and I agree. I think if clear explanations are given though for why he says certain puzzling things like his stance on H1-B visas, on UKR policy, etc. then issues will be quieted down and the media would have less power to stir things up.
Tell people what’s going on as much as possible and not let things hang in the air for the enemy to explain and exploit any way they feel like, including lying about all of it to the voters. I also am aware that things tend to be made clear after a bit of time and we end up understanding the end game. However, time is a factor now and maybe people have to be made aware right now why things are going the way they seem to be on certain issues.
There has to be a top priority, imo, for the 2026 midterms or the risk is everything worked for since Jan.will disappear and worse things will be thrown at the President like it was in his first term. Our country will be at a standstill still and we will be facing the grinder machine again that’s bent on destroying America as we are working to restore it. They have the media still, under their thumb and that can’t be minimized.
They not only have the media, they also still own and operate the DOJ, FBI, CIA, the corrupt “courts”, our corrupt “congress”, and a voting system that is subject to voter fraud.
No, he did not!!! My opinion. Who is the US? He has chastened China in many areas. They were enabled by Joebama Admin (just the latest enablers) to take over both of our hemispheres, e.g., Panama Canal, Venezuela, Mexico, military-age men in CA, land owned beside our military bases, food processing ownership, clot-shot, etc., etc., etc.
This is not a simple sweep-up and gone especially with globalist judges in every unfriendly place.
Actually, President Trump’s successes so far are remarkable. More power to him and us and full speed ahead.
Without the international repairs and our economy first — always economy first — there would be no hope for any future with whatever he could do internally. It would just be undone again, like it was after the coup-govt took over.
Got a link for that or is that your guess?
When I vote, I stick with my choice.
I may disagree with some of his decisions but I trust him because he has more facets to consider than I know about.
The Bunker Class treated President Trump like he was radioactive until they were absolutely sure he’d win. Then came the avalanche of cash and there went MAGA AS FOUNDED. Let’s see if we can get back to where we were.
Clean up the DOJ, FBI, CIA, arrest a few traitors, and we would be on our way back to MAGA!
Our voices collectively, are Voices in the wind. Our voices show confusion.
PDJT is working for us — even in our confusion.
One of his greatest contributions has been to wake us up to reality of the invasion and takeover of our country by our own citizens.
He does it by hyperbolic speaking, using nick names, saying outlandish things
Causing the enemy to react and then have egg on their faces
No he didn’t. He isn’t the one causing problems. That would be mainly the UniParty™️ CrapWeasels, their embedded holdovers and their always helpful media and podca$t influencer$.
Easily manipulated fair weather friends filled with self pity and supreme arrogance all at the same time are a whole separate problem however.
They vociferously spread their misplaced anger to manipulate others. Misery loves company.
Nattering Nabobs of Negativity.
Patience, discernment. Discernment, patience… All it takes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, CountryClassVulgarian!
About a week or so, I was tempted to invoke (2:16) this classic quote by Spiro Agnew for exactly this context in the Treehouse.
True story, my first job out of college, I worked for a nephew or son-in-law (not sure I remember which) of Spiro Agnew at The Berkshire Eagle.
The media amplifying noise for the DS, communists and globalists is creating much of the perceived fall in support for PDJT. Some is real, but not much.
It looks to me as though Trump was trying to sucker Democrats with the Epstein files all along and MTG and her Merry Men were getting in the way. Interesting email on Obama attending a party at Epstein Palm Beach house. Which Epstein referred to as wild. I believe Trump had to know about that one.
Of course he is listening! Aside from Country Doc’s post here daily of Sundances ‘The Game Plan’ article, you should (re)read this.
Most of the media and lunitc liberal complaints are for issues CONGESS controls, not President Trump. Why do you think he has to EO remedies.

Mark Levin has made highly annoying disagreeable noises for just about as long as I’ve had ears. I wish I could “Enjoy The Silence” where that psychotic is concerned.
I lasted about five minutes with Screamer.
I have been “Enjoying The Silence” with him ever since.
Be specific. WHAT is it that people haven’t caught on and are drinking the Kool Aid you refer to above?
What is happening again?
And, since this is a consititutional republic which, on paper still us run by We the People — what do We the People need to do?
Once again conflating Mark Levin with President Trump using the phony words “to silence her”.
At least the fifth time in a few days.
Agenda much?
Levin is representative of Levin and a singularly secular Jewish worldview.
To bad, since Greene is the only one that does not take AIPAC money . Ossloff doesn’t either. She would of been the only one that could meet Ossloff head on. Is there another candidate for Ossloff’s seat? Seems like we have decided to just mark Ossloff’s seat as safe.
That piece of trash stole the seat. It’s safe because of mail in statistical cheating.
This is disturbing & mentally unhealthy for anyone that would use it…

My daughter heard about this. The idea of seeing & hearing my son/her brother again was very tempting. Really tempting.
I was against it. In the end it terrified her so she let it go. We had to let him go.
We’ll see him again one day.
Agreed, I had to let them go once already and to be honest, I don’t need artificial anything to remember those I’ve lost.
I agree with your notions on the potential psychological aspects of all of this. That’s a receiving end consideration (impact).
On the flip side (not an attack): suppose one’s son or daughter happened to be a fertile mind with dozens of novels, poems, musical compositions or scientific theory (etc.) saved for posterity. Or just a truly fine human being or strong family member. Wouldn’t/Isn’t it wonderful to revisit and admire their wisdom, humanity, lives/being?
I have some tapes of my grandfather from when my mom interviewed him on a road trip about our family history.
There’s a difference to listening to a recording of someone who has passed that is the same every time you listen to it and having a computer algorithm chop it up into pieces and use it to assemble things they never said and might not actually believe.
The former is a treasure I value immensely. The latter would be a stain to my actual memories of my grandfather.
Chris Plante on WMAL radio has a recording of his dad. His dad was a war pilot and died when he was a baby. He used to play it for his audience on Veterans day (I think). Nevertheless he was simply sharing a precious memory he has of the dad he did not get a chance to know. Interesting thing is he sounds just like his dad.
I posted below earlier today:
“I get the main point: where’s the dividing line between preserving the past in whatever medium and creating a different/imaginary past through artifice?”
There is a caveat, especially as one ages. Our memories change as well.
Yikes!
Never had heard of this
2wai while never having been a church goer, experience is very much compelling me to continue in seeking a God of my understanding.
As this entire race for A.I. appears to me to be almost demonic.

Cheers!
It is straight from the pit of hell.
Well, I’m out of luck on this one. A video is required and my husband passed away 28 years ago. We didn’t have money for a camcorder at that time. No video then = no AI conjuring now. (Yes, I checked it out…)
Maybe! Don’t forget that static photos can be arranged in order to produce video.
I get the main point: where’s the dividing line between preserving the past in whatever medium and creating a different/imaginary past through artifice?
I wouldn’t be interested in AI either but for a different reason. I do not like all this artificial stuff PERIOD. I have my husband’s memory in my head and I don’t want anybody fooling with it.

“About Islam: A Letter to President Trump”

This has several points on policies to protect America.

This is how I learned……didn’t have engineers/tech guys from India, so had to make do.
My mom taught me not to fear, ‘it is already broken, what is it going to hurt to try to fix it’. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t.
When my oldest son was 12, I came into the living room one day to see that he had taken the tv apart just to see how it worked. He put it back together and it never skipped a beat.
To this day he has a passion for figuring things out himself.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Jack Smith May Have Handed President Trump the Golden Key to Pardon Tina Peters
https://joehoft.com/breaking-exclusive-jack-smith-may-have-handed-president-trump-the-golden-key-to-pardon-tina-peters/
“… The Arctic Frost Document, an inventory of Americans spied on by Jack Smith, features a unique entry on page 101. It is believed that this entry refers to Tina Peters. In the list of those illegally spied on, there is a line that lists Mike Lindell, and it includes a reference to “Mesa County”.
Mike Lindell was involved with Tina Peters for some time. He invited Tina to his first symposium in South Dakota. That was the first time we heard of Tina, a county clerk from Mesa County, Colorado, in charge of elections. She shared at Mike’s symposium in South Dakota that she had identified altered results in her election systems after a recent election. This was shocking news and the highlight of that first symposium. There are countless articles linking Mike Lindell to Tina Peters and the election fraud she discovered IN Mesa County.
Tina Peters was later indicted in a Colorado state court and indicted on bogus charges and put away for 9 years. President Trump is unable to pardon her because he lacks the authority to pardon a state crime. No President to date has pardoned someone for a state crime. However, if her case in Colorado was managed or significantly impacted by individuals who were part of the federal government, then some believe that President Trump could pardon Tina.
Before today, there was ample evidence that the federal government under Biden was involved in the Tina Peters case. There is an argument that if the federal government led the effort, directed it, or was a significant part of the effort to indict and imprison Tina Peters, it would give President Trump the ability to pardon her.
The FBI issued a statement almost immediately after Peters came forward, stating that they would investigate her for potential violations of federal laws. The Biden regime never formally prosecuted Tina, but it appears that Biden’s Department of Justice was working closely with local Colorado officials who sought to put Peters in jail.
The Mesa County District Attorney, Dan Rubinstein, included Matthew Kirsh, the United States Attorney for Colorado in a May 17, 2022, email to multiple District Attorneys across Colorado. The email is titled “Rule 3.8 Meeting” which appears to reference the rules of professional conduct for prosecutors.
The email suggests that Rubinstein was having some trouble reconciling the prosecution of Tina Peters with prosecutors’ rules of professional conduct and had to call in the cavalry to help him brainstorm ways to avoid being “accused of wrongdoing…
Another glaring piece of evidence that the federal government led the Tina Peters case is that if this was ‘only a Colorado issue’, why were US Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, participating in initial Mesa County discussions via Webex regarding the findings of Clerk Peters and her actions related to those findings?
We also know that the full force of the federal government was directly applied to those associated with Tina’s situation in that the FBI raided Tina’s home.
In addition, Tina’s associate Sherronna Bishop’s home was also raided by the FBI.
Also, ‘My Pillow’ CEO Mike Lindell was also targeted by the FBI, and they confiscated his phone while he was traveling in Minnesota. These were federal actions. He was communicating with Tina Peters and offered her his support.
The official statement behind Tina Peters’ indictment included mention of the federal government,
It’s easy to see that the federal government was involved in this case and that the federal actions noted above, like the raids (that they conveniently ignore now), indicate that this was much more than a Colorado issue. …
In July, Joe Hoft was on OAN with Dan Ball, and he mentioned that there is an avenue for President Trump to pardon Tina Peters. If the federal government was behind her arrest and her indictments, or if they ran the operation against Tina, there is good reason to believe that this was a federal operation. This would open an avenue for President Trump to pardon Tina Peters. This was based on a discussion with a top attorney in the Trump Administration.” …….
Tina’s case is similar to PDT’s New York case; a federal prosecution disguised as a state case. Both he and Tina were essentially charged with Obeying the Law. She obeyed the Federal Records Act and he obeyed Best Business Practices.
She’s really being charged with exposing the CIA’s Voting Machine CheatWare, which they use worldwide to install Puppet Regimes like Biden, Zelensky, Lula, Maduro, Sheinbaum, etc., etc.
BTW, Tina is actually Colorado’ Secretary of State. She was walking away with it when Soros/Obama Election Moll Jena Griswold rigged the Republican Primary and installed a Zuckerbucks nobody, who dutifully “lost” to Griswold.
The Feds conspired to railroad Tina in state court specifically to avoid a Trump Pardon, which is Sedition, Conspiracy, Obstruction and Conspiracy Against Rights, for starters.
Indeed, it proves Tina’s point. They used state charges because while they don’t have complete control over Presidential Elections, they do have complete control over Colorado’s fixed and rigged elections. They know there will be no Colorado Governor to pardon her as long as they invent and count the votes.
And Georgia.

Top MIT scientist blasts ‘climate hysteria,’ says global warming fears are driven by money… not evidence
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15236133/Scientist-climate-change-hysteria-nonsense.html
Any bets on how long it will take before this MIT scientist has a sudden heart attack ?? Involved in a fatal car accident ??
First Bill Gates, now MIT.
There is a need to move away from the climate change agenda. All this AI and crypto will require a lot of underlying infrastructure and the energy to run it.
Anyone invested in that tech will need to back off the climate hysteria as well.
Evidently, the big server farms for AI use and extraordinary amount of water to cool their systems.
In Texas, where water is crucially limited in many parts of the state, this is shaping up to be a huge battle.
And Gates has purchased a lot of farmland that I assume comes with water rights.
Banned from ever publishing again?
Denied all future grants?
Blackballed at MIT?
Attacked relentlessly for every woke infraction that can be dug up or fabricated?
Like General Patton?
just after WWII Patton commented that the USA should have been fighting the Communists instead of Hitler’s Nazi’s… A few days later he was killed in a single car “accident”.
Richard Lindzen is an Emeritus Prof, so probably why he can speak out. In my memory, he has always been knowledgeable and did not sell out. I might have forgotten. Most important message: “Human-Caused Climate Change Hysteria” is another wedge created by global elites to destroy the we Americans, the USA, and the developed west for their ultimate global triumph taking over all resources. Sundance has been writing about this attempt from the beginning of TCTH.
Note Lindzen’s warning: “a multi-trillion dollar industry “. Another arm of total corruption. Where have we heard this before? And it is only one of many.
Also, please note, to help support President Trump/MAGA, both internally and on the international stage, that these these corrupters today (on YouTube and elsewhere) are trying to maintain that all interglacial (natural) warm periods were caused by “human-civilization activities.” This is very recent, now that we are gathering evidence that we intelligent homo sapiens have been imagining and developing “societies” and “civilizations,” as Earth warm periods have permitted, way earlier than first 4,000 years, or even 10,000 years (Gobekli Tepi, etc.).
Why is this info worth being added to the Presidential thread? Because President Trump is one of the most intelligent, savvy, and creative homo sapiens sapiens, in bountiful support of we amazing Americans for having created a Constitutional Republic. We MAGA supporters need to pull together, band together, to question propaganda and ideology (for enriching ONLY the wealthy corrupters), not only in American politics but in every scientific field.

Michelle Obama Lashes Out At White People During Interview For New Book
“Former President Barack Obama’s wife said she felt obligated to keep her hair straight during her tenure in the White House…”
No one made you do anything. Your own personal insecurities is why you changed your hair and to pander to white people to get your husband elected. Don’t blame me, I don’t give a damn about your hair, I care about policy, and your husbands policies sucked.
“If you are so adverse to American culture there are plenty of places in the world where you and your hair will fit in, so emigrate, we don’t need stereotyping racist in this country of any color.
That ain’t even her “hair”..
She’s been lashing out at white people since her college days at least. Go read her thesis for an eye opener to what Michelle thinks. Our First Lady can’t stand the people who got her husband elected. She made sure she took all the perks she could grab while Obama was President knowing it was mainly white people who gave them to her. She is not a nice person.
Her thesis was hardly what one would expect from an Ivy League student, regardless of the sentiments it expressed. Poorly written by someone who has resented everything this country has done for her. She is an over privileged ingrate.
That is exactly what we expect from the Ivy League now!
Over and under on how fast this book goes to the Barnes & Noble clearance bins…
That said, can pretty much guarantee a copy will end up in the bathroom magazine rack at my sister/BIL’ s home. Right next to Comey’s book, which has been sitting in that rack since its publication
The Montgomery Wards catalog was the most popular publication in early America, you could find one in almost every outhouse across the land which is why they began printing it on glossy paper. Has the publisher of Comeys book worked this one out yet?
Exactly!!! There’s a whole continent where Big Mike’s hair un straighten is the norm!! Unfortunately for us that option is probably off the table, better to stay here in multimillionaire comfort and complain!! Try living off social security!!! JMO
Because she is shallow, she assumes others are equally shallow.
Hair. She really thinks we worry about her hair…. Never mind her Marxism, it’s all about her frigging hair. 🙄
I genuinely have no idea what her has has ever looked like. Her racist BS, I know very well.
She’s been carried through life by guilt ridden white liberals because she was black…just like her husband…
Then she turns around and bites the hand that has fed her…
She kept her hair straight but not her husband.
There’s your problem.
If there ever was a true example of DEI, it’s her.
She’s gotta a lotta balls saying that
Nice. Even does when she’s not saying anything.
My experience is that a certain set of black American women have had the idea installed into their heads (probably through neurolinguistic programming) that “white people” care deeply about the appearance of the hair of black women, and that black women are required by “white culture” to straighten their hair to fit into the dominant culture and access jobs and money.
Which produces a feeling of victimhood and resentment.
Mission accomplished.
Now, to a white person into whose head the appearance of “black hair” never entered, not even once, that sounds absolutely nuts.
The first time you hear it, you say, “whaaaaat the hell? That’s crazy.”
Then you realize it is a firmly entrenched “reality” in someone else’s head, and if you are awake, you ask the right f’n question –
who put that turtle on that fencepost?
In any event, Big Mike isn’t speaking out to nothing. He is enforcing a preexisting victim script to divide us against each other. It is a dose of narrative engineering to keep black women inside their tribal preconceptions.
It is a good bet that there are influencers, here and elsewhere, hammering on the installed Narratives of tribalism and division for other population subgroups. We all have nudges.

Focus – Big Mike interview

Emotion – few things are more personal to or the subject of more social anxiety than personal appearance (hair)
This is how we are divided, Americans against Americans. This is how our eyes are taken off the ball of the suffering of Tina Peters, or the fact that our elections are fake.
Where is your focus being directed as you read through today’s presidential thread?
What tribalism is being invoked?
How emotional is the story? Does it involve alleged vile acts that grab your gut?
Why is it bring drawn into your attention zone?
Cui bono?
^ further proof, that
people do not know,
what they do not know.
And when someone adds high confidence and self-esteem to the not knowing,
then some may read or hear something, and just shake their head
and (whether it has hair, or no hair ) and come to wish
that some could learn a little bit more,
about what they do not know.
(but their self confidence, constantly gets in the way of their learning)

Which is kind of funny since Schumer got them what they wanted. A promised vote on ACA subsidy extension. So healthcare is front and center heading into an election year. Unlike a Democrat, Thune will make good on his promise which will box Johnson in.
It’s like art of the deal. Schumer presses for 3x what they want, then settles for the basics. Unfortunately for him, the radicals in the Dwmocrat party want instant gratification.

President Trump has challenged all republican senators and congressmen to get out the positive message about what the Administration has done for the past 10 months to Make America Great Again with America First policies.
Below is the list of 24 republican senators who voted against eliminating the globalist, filibuster, senate rule.
Eliminating the globalist, filibuster senate rule is a key President Trump America First policy position.
Keep an eye out to see if any of them are going to start to energetically support the Administration in the press.
They don’t get credit for PR events that don’t highlight the Administration’s great record for the past 10 months.
For example, Senator Kennedy of LA had one of his folksy news conferences that lacked any mention of the good progress that the Administration has had in Making America Great Again. He earned an “F” grade.
These 24 senators are globalist, a title they have earned by their vote against eliminating the globalist’s filibuster, senate rule and their lack of energetically supporting the MAGA / America First administration’s record for the past 10 months.
Let’s see if they can get shed their globalist mindset and start energetically supporting the MAGA / America First administration.
Americans are watching.
Especially disappointing is the presence of so-called leader Thune’s name on the list of 24 globalists.

Donna,
Thanks for the comment.
Some MAGAs like Kennedy’s folksy dialogue but no MAGAs like Kennedy’s voting with his globalist cabal against President Trump’s identified MAGA / America First priority policies.
He used his “folksy” comments this weekend as a smoke screen to try to cover up his treasonous vote against eliminating the globalist filibuster rule in the senate ….. a vote requested by MAGA’s leader President Trump.
It didn’t work. More people understand that he speaks with forked tongue.
The one you need to get rid of is Cassidy
He up for reelection and trying to play MAGA
A better list of Globalists that you can check any time are those taking AIPAC & MIC money. If the bench is not enough they’ll just go to the dug outs and get the needed vote if it’s deemed important enough.

HOSTAGE TESTIMONY
“I Dug for Weeks. I Saw the Stars. They Caught Me and Beat Me for Days.” — Avinatan Or
Released hostage Avinatan Or revealed chilling new details from his year in Hamas captivity:
He spent weeks digging through a Gaza tunnel trying to escape.
He broke through, saw the night sky, and wrote “HOSTAGE” on a sandbag.
Hamas caught him, tied him to a chair, and beat him for days.
He was kept alone, shackled inside a tiny cage barely larger than his mattress.
Or told the audience in Washington: “Because I’m alive, I have a responsibility — to speak clearly about good and evil, and to remember that division destroys us.”
Fellow survivors Noa Argamani, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, and Eviatar David also shared how global Jewish support gave them strength inside the tunnels.
More than 2,000 people rose in a standing ovation as the four walked on stage.

Regurgitating 2 yr old liberal leftist Israeli attacks to counter a powerful witness against Palestinian brutality and how much it helped the captives to have global Jewish support.
It’s remarkable how the ranks of the “antisemites” keep being expanded to include even a great many Jews.
And its also remarkable that you don’t even try to refute the (quite indisputable) fact that Bibi was a Hamas supporter.
No accusations of anti-semitism in what I wrote.
And calling Bibi a Hamas supporter?
Are you trying to be a ridiculous parody?
I have been reading more about WW2. All sorts of countries working together while wanting each other to fail. Playing two enemies against each other is a common tactic. With lots of different possible outcomes, good and bad.
Maybe I will get around to judging it when I get all the facts, not just biased attacks by Bibi haters in Israel. I am sure not going to defend it now.
But why even try to counter victims describing the evil they endured?
Lots of people share responsibility for that evil. The UN. Most international states. Probably even both sides of Israeli politics.
But there is a big difference between evil and those that give evil some assistance. And frequently, the inability to call evil what it truly is enables, even requires, that very assistance.

Yes. But its too bad you cannot notice what all the people who have persecuted her have in common. Their names are Governor Jared Polis, AG Phil Weiser, Assistant AG Rob Shapiro, SOS Jena Griswold, Mesa County DA Dan Rubinstein, and US Attorney Matthew Kirsh. That’s some coincidence, isn’t it?
It’s not a coincidence a group of Jew-flavored tyrants, perverts, Deep State scumbags, Election-thieving Obama shysters and dirty cops would cluster together.
But it doesn’t implicate an entire people, either.

Bombshell emails between ANU professor Lawrence Krauss at the centre of an Aussie sex scandal and Jeffrey Epstein are exposed
Krauss openly supported Epstein after he confessed to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008, and appeared to gush over him throughout their years-long correspondence – continually reiterating the need for advice, organising calls, and asking for a ride on his private jet.
‘Beyond anything else, you are my friend. I hope we can both always remember that, no matter what,’ Krauss told Epstein in 2011, three years after Epstein confessed to the charges charges and was jailed for 13 months.

Germany’s Merz: United States is trying something that amounts to the destruction of WTO.
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1990368127616491816#m
Some replies
The USA is enacting policies that Europe has been using on America since WW2. I find it odd that Europe seems to think there is something unfair about these policies. If you’re looking to blame someone for the destruction of the WTO, look no further than China.
It’s hypocritical to talk about US tariffs when the EU has taxes on foreign goods entering Its zone. The US has every right to impose tariffs on EU goods
Type Germany and China agree to reduce trade tensions in your favorite browser.
Those socialist German oligarchs are perfectly happy to suck on Xi’s Winnie the poo if they can remain selling their auto’s in China even if it means their own citizens in Germany end up driving Chinese electric vehicles. Their next move will be handing over American Ai tech to Xi and a return of buying Putin’s gas at the end of Zelenskys reign.
Something that amounts to the destruction of the WTO? Well, now proceed America…

Our voices collectively, are Voices in the wind. Our voices show confusion.
PDJT is working for us — even in our confusion.
One of his greatest contributions has been to wake us up to reality of the invasion and takeover of our country by our own citizens.
He does it by hyperbolic speaking, using nick names, saying outlandish things
Causing the enemy to react and then have egg on their faces
We need Republican votes and RINO votes, yet much of Republicans are our worst enemies. He is showing us that .
It was hard enough to point out the fallacies of the left, but We the People were being duped by that
It will be harder yet to expose and reverse the very intelligent and cunning lies of the RINOs, WEF and take our power back from them.
We elected Donald Trump because HE came to US and said the enemies within are robbing us blind and taking our country away. We agreed and elected him as our president/Leader. He is leading.
Donald Trump is doing his best to right the wrongs, point out the lies, protect us, bring back America as a nation.
The left and RINO enemies are complicitly screaming – “he’s mean, he thinks he’s King.!” But he is being the leader he said he would and that we asked him to be.
Because of the wisdom of our founders, Donald Trump or any president, doesn’t have the power of a king. God didn’t want Israel to have kings . God demands to be on the throne of each individual life and our nation’s founders set our country up that way — as a constitutional republic.
So for President Trump to be successful, We the People have to complete the power needed to lead this nation back to the True principles of our Lord — represented well in the principles of MAGA.
The principles of MAGA are not perfect, but the principles of our Creator are perfect. The principles of MAGA, however, are pretty close to the principles of our Creator, and the best agenda this nation has had in 250 years since the constitution.
Because we are a constitutional republic, we have limited the powers of each branch of government. Because we are a constitutional republic, Donald Trump cannot right this country by himself — but he is being a better leader than any we have had since Washington, who was supported for two terms by the legislature.
For us to be successful as a nation, We the People must:
-step up and take our power back
– Support the Leader God has given us in Donald Trump as he follows the principles of MAGA
-Submit ourselves to the principles of our Creator- who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
– Be willing to serve our fellow man in this country with the zeal and love that Donald Trump has
-Be willing to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor
We must have faith the we are as God has Created us, and saves us through his Grace and Mercy:
-Created in His Image
-We are the preserving salt of the Earth, a City on a Hill, a light in the darkness
-We are competent to counsel
-We are a royal priesthood calling others to follow the Lord as we follow the Lord
-We are vessels who contain, reflect his glory, and show his power by our own honest transformation
President Trump is only a man, in a purposely limited role, but by God, look what he has done. It is near miraculous!
Imagine if every one of us in MAGA could have the energy and effectiveness of Donald Trump, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ronald Reagan, Charlie Kirk, Billy Graham, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Elon Musk, Lewis and Clark, of the Apostle Paul, David, Abraham, Peter; These are all mere human beings, with major imperfections, but who influenced the world greatly with ripples that continue.
The truth is that, with God, each of us do have the energy and capability to be a light of change of the magnitude of Donald Trump or any other great leader.
If we want to Make American Great Again, we must lay down our lives to return it to what made it Great in the first place: A Nation ruled by a people who collectively believed that God was our Creator, Guide, and Savior.
Charlie Kirk was a 31 year old kid. Look what he did in his short years. We each have this potential within us. With God, all things are possible. The first step, every day, is to plug into the power of our Creator.
We can Make America Great Again. President Trump cannot do it alone. He needs We the People. He needs me. He needs you.

I’d love for the administration to give a full explanation as to why the US flag was dragging on the ground outside the White House yesterday.

Imagine your neighbor Japan has been lending the whole world money for the last 30 years… basically for free.
Every month, Japanese grandmas and grandpas put their savings into banks and insurance companies. Those companies couldn’t make any money keeping the cash in Japan (interest rates were 0% or even negative), so they shipped trillions of dollars overseas and bought American, European, and other countries’ bonds. That giant pile of Japanese money is a big reason why:
Japan was accidentally acting like the world’s nicest (and richest) uncle who kept paying everyone’s credit-card bill.
But this fall (November 2025), Japan finally said: “We’re done. We’re old, we need the money at home for pensions and hospitals, and we’re raising our own interest rates.”
When Japan stops lending for free and starts bringing its money back home:
In plain English:
The world has been living on a 30-year discount from Japan. The discount is ending. Life is about to get a little more expensive and a little less crazy.
In other words, the value of the dollar against other currencies is going to drop as the demand for US assets (e.g., treasury securities) drops.
We need a campaign about what happens to brains on AI.
Imbalances in trade leave people in one country holding too much of another country’s currency.
The first country investing that money back in the second country is a standard practice. Treasuries. Real Estate. And so forth.
AI needs to get its head out of its derriere. Japan stopped being the issue over 40 years ago. It switched to S. Korea, then to Hong Kong, then to Indonesia. Now China has all the excess US cash.

And the “Republicans” who made it all possible.
Another fake Deep State NGO. They got a Cartel Judge to invent a Congressional Seat for the Uni-Party.
Utah is eaten up with Deep State Tyranny, Open Borders freaks and Trans pathology. The Governor is a perv. Their universities are really just CIA Recruiting Centers. Utah Valley University is run by a State Dept. New World Order -president.
It was not happenstance that Charlie was assassinated there.

LDS deep state for a long while. J edgar loved him some Mormons. Think Howard Hughs, at the end LDS were his handlers.
I’m not too excited about Trump’s proposed redirecting funds used for Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies to individuals, suggesting that this money should be given directly to citizens so they can buy their own health insurance.
The Insurance Companies would still play the same game, raise prices and if the Dems were smart, campaign on increases to individuals. Trump’s suggestion is a Uniparty solution, government would still be knee-deep in healthcare funding.
In other news, Trump’s 50-year mortgages is another sleight of hand gimmick to make housing seem more affordable and will only backfire down the road.
Both of these issues are not ‘Free Market’ or MAGA solutions, they are shades of when Trump was a NY democrat.
Also how is this change going to take place in such a short time period? It’s already mid November.
You need to regulate how much a health-care provider is allowed to charge. Hospitals are being run for profit. And sometimes they make stupendous profits.
I don’t think that you can simply “give somebody cash” to “buy health insurance” because you do not know what they will actually spend it on. The price and coverage of health insurance needs to be regulated, also.
We are stuck with Obamacare as long as the CrapWwasel CONgress refuses to repeal the monstrosity.
Until then, President Trump is trying to find ways to make it easier for Americans to purchase their coverage. Not a thing in the world wrong with that.
The idea of a 50 yr mortgage is an idea and a point of discussion.
One of many the President has for trying to repair what globalists, the UniParty™️ foreign parasites and sick selfish lobbyists have destroyed.
The UCA, (Un)Affordable Care Act was designed to destroy our Healthcare system by vastly driving up costs. I like to refer to it as Obama Hates Everyone.
Earlier government interventions were doing that very thing, but that was too slow for The Hater Obama.
Repealing Obama Hates Everyone would be a good start, but there is a lot more needed to fix our health care system.
Not repealing it will just hasten our affordability crisis. And our health care crisis. And all the things that we are told we need Communists to fix.
Remember this:
Democrats create problems that hurt people.
Democrats blame their enemies for the hurt people.
Democrats claim to be the saviors of hurt people.
Rinse and repeat until all people are hurt enough to vote Democrat.
If those solutions help President Trump remain in control of the house and senate in 2026 it will be well worth the 25 billion or whatever it costs and being put in consumers hands directly will cut costs and middlemen. Key word SOLUTION
50 year mortgages could benefit younger Americans who want to buy homes. They’d have to use it it right.. eg. use the money they save on the extended loans to build wealth etc.
Giving money directly to the insurance policy seeker and correcting the Obamacare regulation on what insurance companies are mandated to cover will introduce marketplace competition. That competition will reduce the cost of insurance. At least that is how capitalism and competition usually works.
This makes me really happy, as a Catholic that is disgusted by what has happened to the Catholic church.
Tom Homan is calling out the Catholic church on their position on borders and immigration..
This is something that we should support him in getting dealt with by the Vatican because there are a whole lot of Catholics out here that agree with what he’s saying and what a problem this all is for the church.
“Catholic Church Is Wrong” On Illegal Immigration, Homan Says
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/catholic-church-wrong-illegal-immigration-homan-says#comment-stream
From the article:
The Catholic Church’s criticism of the Trump administration’s policies regarding illegal immigration is “wrong,” border czar Tom Homan told reporters on Nov. 14.
“Secure border saves lives. I wish the Catholic Church would understand that. We have the right to secure our borders like they have the right to secure their facility,” Homan said.
“You can’t enter their facility without getting arrested. Matter of fact, the penalties for entering their facilities are much worse than ours,” he said.
“So the Catholic Church is wrong. I’m sorry. I’m a lifelong Catholic. I’m saying it as not only a border czar. I’ll say it as a Catholic. I think they need to spend time fixing the Catholic Church.”
What some people refer to as “illegal immigration,” I refer to as: Human Trafficking. One of the oldest and most lucrative crimes against humanity.
We enacted the 13th Amendment but have never followed it. Both prohibited practices continue to this day.
I am a non-denominational Christian. I was raised in a large well known protestant denomination. When I began to take my faith seriously in my early 20s I recognized that my denomination was much more interested in being well-liked by popular culture than in the truth of scripture, and even worse, in politics than in the Gospel. I had to accept that my denomination was not in fact Christian. Many of the individual people were, but they were being mis-taught and mis-led by those to whom acceptance by the world was more important.
I would challenge everyone to ask themselves whether they are supporting a denomination that views the Bible through the lens of popular culture (the world), or are the viewing the popular culture through the lens of the Bible. And to act accordingly.
It’s sad that many of our traditions nullify His Word. The Church under Constantine compromised His Word/instructions to stop the persecution (SUNday for Sabbath, easter, christmas for His feast days)
I’ve been asking this question for a long time-‘why do we think the way we think’
The ways/influence of the world are deeper than we understand ( in John 17: Yeshua prayed, I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your Word. I have made Your Word and Name known.)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
Maranatha- even so, come my Lord and King
.
I heard Chuck Missler once say “I now view my former patriotism as a form of idolatry”. He was a Annapolis grad, information technology cold warrior and Bible scholar. I have come to similar conclusions. I have also come to the conclusion that tax exempt non profit status has harmed the church for similar reasons you stated above.
Yes, the American bishops again – nearly all of them – want to play so much with the Cool Kids (i.e. the DEM/Communists) that they weaken their moral authority…
…because the Cool Kids are ultimately atheists and immoral!
The American bishops should be trying to stop, oppose, and convert the Communists in our midst!
Instead, they end up pussyfooting around the immorality of Homosexuality, Abortion, and other issues of our day, e.g. Welfare!
Yesterday’s Catholic Mass reading included a statement by St. Paul about idlers, not working, walking about and meddling in other people’s business, and that such people should be working for a living to earn their daily bread, and not expecting to eat the food of others!
i.e.
If you have a very good reason why you cannot work and need help to provide food for yourself, Christian Charity will take care of you.
If, however, you are an “idler, * ” and fooling around doing nothing, do not expect others to help you!!!
The bishops need to pay better attention to St. Paul!
* I checked both St. Paul’s Ancient Greek text and St. Jerome’s translation in the Latin Vulgate: the emphasis is on people “walking around” (to give the impression of some activity) but in fact doing nothing! (St. Paul uses a Greek word for “walking around in circles” peripatountos, St. Jerome simply uses “walking” ambulantes.)
In Greek, “ataktos” is a military term for “not in line,” “not obeying orders, disorderly,” and is used by St. Paul to describe those who are not working. St. Jerome uses “inordinati” a similar military term.
For if they are not working, they should be doing something valuable to contribute to the general welfare. Christians have no obligation to provide them with anything!
In other words: “Idleness is the Devil’s workshop!”
I strongly agree with Tom Homan here. He is right to call out the Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church is wrong and is doing a disservice to governments and nations with their anti-human stance on this issue. It is also an about-face in what the Church has emphasized.
The money trail needs to be followed. Ever since the US government began contracting with ‘faith-based organizations’ to house and take care of migrants, the whole purity of the Church (Catholic and Lutheran) came under question on this issue.
Re: illegal immigration
In part, contrary to the open, friendly, inclusive, compassionate Vatican (which, uhhhh…. is surrounded by walls)…
( 4 years late….) 5 days ago, the U.S. Bishops sent out a public message:
“We recognize that nations have a responsibility to regulate their borders and establish a just and orderly immigration system for the sake of the common good. Without such processes, immigrants face the risk of trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Safe and legal pathways serve as an antidote to such risks.”

You’re never legally mandated to participate. You’re just architecturally excluded from normal life if you don’t. The control isn’t in making you comply — it’s in making non-compliance functionally impossible while maintaining the fiction of choice.
Here we go ..
The Hoax that targeted health freedom.
“Two 30-something men with British accents were making the rounds to decry fake meat and proclaim the superiority of real meat. This is a position with which probably everyone there agreed. They also looked the part: well-dressed and clean-shaven. Of course we want our activists to look this way.
The main actor told people his name is Aldrich Willows, an entirely fictional name, though no one seemed to have checked. He explained that he runs the Alliance for Sustainable Protein. The site is down as of this writing but it was created in March 2025. If anyone doubted their authenticity, pulling up their website on the phone was the first riposte, which is what they did with me.”

what would happen if you chose to do the right thing,
instead of the wrong thing?
[ which someone might interpret as disobeying a boss ]
a. you might not get paid (some have been there, done that )
b. you might lose a job (some have been there, done that )
c. you might have to seek a different job (some have been there, done that )
d. you might have the bridge the gap in earning$, with prior saving$ (some have been there, done that)
e. you might have more clear conscience going forward (some have been there, done that )
f. there might be a better place for people to live, lives (some have been there, and done that too)
[ and yes, ‘the boss’ had to answer some uncomfortable questions, over time…and that in turn, affected the boss job – via the bosses, bosses. – because directing or choosing the wrong choice for selfish reasons, actually has a very, very high cost for many.]
The testimony was from a year ago in September 2024. The Biden immigration policy has been bashed a plenty since then. I guess there was no actual crime though?

“Maduro labeled a terrorist – Nobel Prize winner appeals to Venezuelan army and Trump talks.
The Department of State intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), effective November 24, 2025
So, why did Secretary of State Marco Rubio make this announcement at 5:38 p.m. on a Sunday? And why was it important enough that State posted the official bulletin around the same time?”

Because they have turned into a terrorist state. Many Hezbollah types in Venezuela.
Based in Venezuela, the Cartel de los Soles is headed by Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking individuals of the illegitimate Maduro regime who have corrupted Venezuela’s military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary. Neither Maduro nor his cronies represent Venezuela’s legitimate government. Cartel de los Soles by and with other designated FTOs including Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel are responsible for terrorist violence throughout our hemisphere as well as for trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe.
Expect if they can move to the other S America countries, they would: but Maduro heads this. organisation
It is entirely logical to expect that BY FAR the most lucrative banana republic to skim (steal) from would be the one which can create from thin air unlimited amounts of the world’s reserve fiat currency and where, as a result of that, massive theft can occur which is not noticed by average citizens unlike in a poor banana republic where the theft is obvious.
Elon Musk EXPOSED The Biggest Scam In History (Joe Rogan Couldn’t Believe It) (36:24)
17 Nov 2025
In fiscal year 2023, federal agencies reported $236 billion in improper payments. And that’s not a one-off. In fiscal year 2024, after massive postcoid reductions, 16 federal agencies alone still reported an estimated 162 billion dollar in improper payments. Since fiscal year 2003, cumulative and proper payment estimates across the federal government are nearly $3 trillion. That’s 8% of the entire federal deficit. Pretty soon, it’s going to start being real money. In fact, according to the Government Accountability Office, the $3 trillion in improper payments we can account for are just a subset of the total problem. The real number is almost certainly much higher. But even if it’s not much more, that still accounts for roughly 10% of the entire national deficit. That is the definition of gross incompetence. But here we are. And the madness does not stop there.
It is as if the government is designed to make fraud easy and race us towards bankruptcy. To put it plainly, we are getting robbed. And not by scammers overseas, by our own government. Elon and DOGE tried to warn us, but what they got in return was firebombed Tesla dealerships and Uniparty bipartisan support for continued spending, no matter how much waste or fraud there is inherent in the system.
What’s really going on and why? In 2022, the federal House and Senate election cycle cost approximately 9.5 billion. The median amount raised by a senator running for reelection in 2024 was approximately $11 million. That’s roughly $15,000 a day. Almost 93% of the members of the 117th Congress had a leadership pack that collectively raised $243 million just between January of 21 and December of 22. According to the Campaign Finance Institute, fewer than 50 families supply the majority of mega donor funding in US elections, a closed feedback loop of money, policy, and media reach. And in 2023 alone, federal lobbying topped $4 billion. This is the tragedy that has turned Washington DC into a swamp of entrenched political interests and has turned governing into a game of self-preservation rather than public service. And that’s why one third of senators have held office longer than the median American marriage lasts. Politics is a business and its product is power. And baby, business is booming. As James Burnham pointed out…every group, no matter how big or small, will create an elite ruling class. Burnham calls this the iron law of oligarchy. I created a whole video about it, which you can watch right here. But for now, suffice it to say that Burnham makes a very compelling case for the fact that every organization, no matter how idealistic it starts, eventually serves the people running it, not the people it was actually designed to help. Sound familiar?
The government that was once for the people by the people has become a giant parasite, stealing our money through inflation, making it impossible for the young to get on the property ladder and forcing us to pay our hard-earned money towards the insane amount of interest we have [now more per year than our military budget – W] on our insane amount of debt. Left alone, that’s just how things go. The longer any organization runs, the more energy goes into keeping power instead of wielding power to help those paying into the system. Hence, the massive immune response to DOGE, whose sole function was to reduce government waste, fraud, and abuse at a time when the country is literally careening towards bankruptcy and must, as a matter of survival, find a way to balance the budget.
To stay in office, you need two things: votes and the money to get those votes. Once you start looking at the government’s relentless deficit spending through that lens, it all starts to make sense. The deficit spending is not designed to help people, and it most certainly doesn’t, at least not in the long run. It is, however, designed to help politicians get reelected. Make no mistake, both the left and the right will shovel subsidies, grants, and contracts towards donors and districts that can bankroll them. They will throw the borders open, outlaw showing ID to vote, keep dead people on the social security roles, and inflate census counts with illegal immigrants just to stay in power. They will happily drive all of us off a fiscal cliff as long as they get to be in the driver’s seat as we go over the edge. And they will rebel against anything that threatens the flow of money.
Here is EXACTLY how we have INEVITABLY evolved into our two party system with both parties being the same on key issues (Uniparty) and 3rd parties which act only as spoilers. It is seen to be absolutely mathematically deterministic when logically analyzed! Once established, there is very little chance of change.

I wouldn’t mind the cost if it was to our benefit.
Instead it is to our harm!
Our government is parasitic. And risks killing the host.
In other news, whoever you are quoting glibly interchanges debt and deficit.
Our deficit is growing our debt at over $2 trillion a year.
Q2, our GDP was about $30.5 trillion.
Our current debt is $38.2 trillion.
That debt to GDP would collapse most countries.
I do not Want to vote for this.
–“That’s 8% of the entire federal deficit.”–
Actually $3 Trillion is 8% of the National Debt, not the annual deficit-which has been running around $2 Trillion.
Nevertheless, that is indeed a Yuge chunk of change!
Rebekah Maciorowski, an American volunteer paramedic who runs the medical operations, evacuation and training for an entire battalion of men and women on Ukraine’s eastern front, under its 3rd Brigade, asked if NATO and Europe are mentally prepared for mass casualties in war with Russia:

https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-111625-overblown-energy-strikes
so ICE left Chicago for other areas. A more accurate story is that ICE was forced out of Chicago by the Cartel mobs and their very real threat of death. The Chicago media has also been working with the Cartel protest mobs and activist groups to make things very difficult for ICE and endanger their lives. I have no idea how that can be allowed to stand. Where is the FBI and DOJ? These media people belong in jail.
I don’t blame ICE for getting out as there was no way to protect the agents from these mobs. I would not expect to see much in the way of deportations from Chicago-metro going forward. What many people don’t realize is that these Mexican and Central American drug cartels run Chicago and LA and other cities. They own politicians, law enforcement leadership, judges, media, etc……. and they have many legitimate businesses in these cities that provide many good jobs, all fueled with laundered cartel drug and human trafficking money. Same thing the Italian mob did for generations (and still does).
The Cartels won in Chicago. Let’s see if they can successfully export that template across the nation. Biden let-in 10M illegals in 4 years. Trump will be lucky if he gets half of that number gone in 4 years. The left will complain, but really will take that every time. This doesn’t even touch the 30-40M that were already here before Biden.
DHS certainly left intel assets…. you can bet they’re tracking every cartel associate and connected illegal “business” and politician they learned about while they were in Chicago “beating the bushes to startle the snakes”. The enemy may think they have won but the fight has not started yet.
ICE left Chicago? I know the National Guard left, but ICE? Have not seen that.
