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.
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 361 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.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.

(Video)….
When the Insurrection Act is invoked, we will see the US military.
JMO.
“When the Insurrection Act is invoked, we will see the US military.”
That is a true statement.
However, there are instances when the US military can be involved to support securing the border and removing enemy invaders after they crossed the border, without the need for the implementation of the Insurrection Act.
With the announcement above we see a careful ramp up of force to end the conflict. President Trump is demonstrating to everyone WHY the insurrection act will ne necessary.
President Trump understands that you can lose a war by winning a battle the wrong way; in this case by calling in maximum force before the public is ready for it and making martyrs of the Leftist rioters.
With some of last night’s acts by Walz and rioters, we’re either nearly or already to the point where the majority of Americans will understand why sending in the military to end this insurrection was the only viable solution.
Yes. Establish foundation, case development, foreshadowing.

The U.S. Space Force already has a well established base in Greenland with an 10,000 ft runway and a strength of several hundred service members. That force can easily be reinforced. A squad sized group from 3 EU countries with significant internal cultural / political troubles is not much of a chess move. This step by the EU calls to mind the “would you believe” rescue force that Agent 86 of the Get Smart spoof could never deliver.
President Trump is highly skilled at the game which is in progress. I believe that U.S. acquires substantial, if not complete dominion and control over the island with no shots fired.
President Trump said it best in his TS post.

Mastermind of lottery fraud admits he rigged jackpots
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/30/mastermind-of-lottery-fraud-admits-he-rigged-jackpots.html
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Left has also managed to use computer means to steal the Powerball or MEGA jackpots?
This guy was able to and could designate who got paid.
What better way to fund their poltical agenda? The perfect crime.
Does anyone know if this has been investigated? If it hasn’t been looked at, how would that investigation begin?
I think it makes perfect sense, they were able to steal elections. Why not billions of dollars from the lottery too?
Could they launder money as well? Organized crime is always looking for ways. Politicians look the other way if they get paid. So maybe…..idk.
Why are we reaching for 8 year old stories.
Why is the PowerBall over a billion dollars and ending up in California? When this guy was stealing the jackpots he sent the money to the people he wanted it to go to.
It happened 8 years ago. Is it happening again? Either it is or it isn’t. Anyone checking? Nope…..
A person In Arkansas won the most recent billion dollar Powerball
FWIW, your article doesn’t mention the PowerBall, and does say this resulted in improved security for lotteries.
Hi Jim. I am saying that the computer can be hacked, manipulated. That is the issue. The article is just an example of what happens. That guy was stealing just fine. He got caught because someone investigated. My point is who is watching the lottery? It is multi-state. Several Governors have become criminal in their behavior. MN Gov. Walz has a huge fraud problem. Even the Attorney General of MN has been accused of taking cash from Somalis. So who is watching the MN lottery? Those guys? Not good…..
I have been screaming this for last couple of years. We have seen these huge lottery totals but do we really know that the winner was legit?? The theft is surrounding us. Our government is watching the money leave Iran and knows the exact destination but yet trillions have disappeared here and politicians just shrug their shoulders while flummoxed.
Thank you! IMO this is something that should be looked into.
People look at Powerball and ask, why are the jackpots so huge now?
In 2015, they literally changed the odds by adding more numbers, which go from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 290 million, which causes more rollovers into higher balances. Second was the increase in ticket prices, from $1 to $2 per play, which causes the balance rate to literally double.
Higher balances are psychologically triggering because humans are so bad at at probabilities and risk assessment; we all think that if we throw a couple bucks in we could be the winner.
Meanwhile, no one is asking what kind of administrative costs go into Powerball. Literally 50% goes to the States, retail support logistics (the ticket machines), administration, retail awards to the store that sold the winning ticket, and marketing. So a tremendous amount of money is changing hands on the back end as well.
Right PS that is why I mention this. Maybe the back-end amounts are the hook and why no one is looking to see if there is fraud. That appears to be a common practice (fraud) in our state governments (MN, CA, IL) and also our Federal government (USAID, grants, etc.). Until DOGE no one was looking where the money came from or where it went.
The lottery is not sacred. It is gambling. Who usually is attracted to gambling? Organized crime–or more recently–Crazed Communists, Marxists and Loons.

DOGE Cancels Or ‘Descopes’ Contracts Worth $1.5 Billion Over A 5-Day Periodby ZeroHedge
Over the weekend, the Department of Government Efficiency announced that agencies have terminated and descoped ’42 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $1.5B and savings of $269M, including a $1.2M Millennium Challenge Corp. DEI professional services contract for a “DCO Gender and Social Inclusion Director Full Time”.
The post came roughly a week after DOGE announced that over a three-day period, federal agencies had similarly terminated and descoped 55 “wasteful” contracts with a ceiling value of $1.6 billion, resulting in $542 million in savings. Included in those was a $47 million State Department contract for “Africa/Djibouti, Somalia armored personnel carriers and Somalia National Army crew.”
As the Epoch Times notes further, as of Jan. 1, DOGE had saved approximately $215 billion through contract, grant, and lease cancellations, according to the department. Among an estimated 161 million individual federal taxpayers, DOGE has saved $1,335.40 per taxpayer.

“Congress issued a subpoena to appear before it and the Clintons ignored it. The Clintons have ignored the law their entire adult life. That stops now.”
I just wrote what Comer should say. All he has to do is show up and since its in front of the cameras Bondi will be there…

UPDATE: It’s worse than we thought. In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.
Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states. It’s against the law to spend federal Medicaid funds on non-emergency healthcare for illegals. If states use their own money to do it, there needs to be a clear paper trail proving that federal dollars didn’t fund those services. These states failed to provide that for this $1.8 billion.
So today, CMS is announcing that we’re withholding nearly $300 million from California — which is by far the worst offender — until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly. Medicaid dollars belong to Americans, not illegal immigrants, and we won’t stop until we’ve held rogue states accountable and recovered their misspent funds.
More announcements to come.
https://nitter.poast.org/DrOzCMS/status/2011492127818043613#m
Clawing back the illegally disbursed federal funds is great
…….. that is one part of the accountability
………….. now, to stop it from ever happening again,
………………..what state employees are going to jail for breaking the law?
……………………… you break the law, you pay the price.
Buckle up for this one.
Based on our initial set of audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants.
And my team is getting it back.
Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving Medicaid.
Others insist it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants.
And others accurately point out that hospitals can provide emergency services to illegal immigrants under the program.
We can all agree on this: rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse is essential to protecting this program for the most vulnerable.
It’s also one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities.
Let me lay down the facts:
The truth is that federal law is supposed to prohibit federal Medicaid dollars broadly from being used to cover illegal immigrants. It does permit states to use Medicaid dollars for emergency treatment, regardless of patients’ citizenship or immigration status.
States can also legally build Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants using their own state tax dollars, so long as no federal tax dollars are used.
But that didn’t stop Democrats from going even further by breaking federal law to give illegal immigrants federal Medicaid dollars meant for American citizens.
Earlier this year, the CMS team began auditing state Medicaid programs to ensure they were following the law and not spending any federal tax dollars on illegal immigrants outside of emergency Medicaid.
What we found was shocking. In a preliminary review of 6 states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault.
Those states are:
CA – $1,310,032,549
DC – $2,114,628
IL – $29,778,645
WA – $2,367,194
CO – $1,506,743
OR – $5,404,368
We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked?
Whether willful or not, the states’ conduct highlights a terrifying reality: American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal immigrants’ Medicaid coverage, despite many Democrats and the media insisting otherwise. Democrats are demanding the repeal of the President’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in order for their votes to reopen the government.
This law wisely strengthened our ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on health care for illegal immigrants. Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid to illegal immigrants.

Who caved on this demand?
Is this still being fought in Congress?
A little baby African elephant, a Bengal tiger and an Anaconda visiting from South America all walk into a bar together . . .
oy, it’s AI!
How else would creatures native to such far-flung areas (South America, Africa and India) wind up in a story together?
As the scene opens, we see a lovable little baby elephant struggling against a horrible Anaconda . . . all of a sudden, a Bengal tiger rushes into the scene to attack the Anaconda! He rips the horrible creature in a terrible fight. tossing and dragging around the Anaconda, allowing the little baby elephant to make his escape, stumbling away, lovably. Then we see that the Anaconda has been killed by the Bengal tiger, who then apparently bids adieu to the little baby elephant who is now being comforted by his mama. Wow.
I am such a sap, I sit and watch these things and then I read the remarks that inform me that was all AI – huh! Must have been! Critters from three disparate regions participated in this made-up drama.
Where is all this AI in the youtube videos leading us? Is it hoped that there will be such an outcry against AI foisting these unreal scenarios on the public that Congress will need to appoint a commission to analyze ALL videos before they are released to the public, deeming unfiltered, unapproved videos will be a sure danger to our democracy? That the average American unhelped by such a commission could fall into error and we need to be told what is and what is not?
Just posting this for your consideration down the road, when you hear about Congress forming that commission!
You can speed that along by having the AI put heads of Congress Critters on those animals.
Now. Who should be the lovable, innocent baby elephant? Not sure that would ever be believable.
THAT would really light a fire under Congress to do something about it – if they were being lampooned.
I realized that I should have mentioned CGI and GIGO as well!
CGI (computer-generated imagery), the means of creating these works of art, animation – rather than using real, live little baby African elephants, Bengal tigers and Anacondas – putting the real critters and their handlers out of work.
Also, a reminder about GIGO – “Garbage In Garbage Out” – an early acronym which I recall my aunt explaining to me over 50 years ago – she was a computer programmer way long ago – “people make the errors, the computers produce based on what is entered”
Doesn’t GIGO apply to AI as well? Did a human instruct the AI to put together an unreal scenario such as the three critters appearing together? Or is AI getting so advanced that it can enter its own garbage?
I can see Congress making it an element of a commission protecting the public from fake stories on YouTube that AI should not be blamed, these videos are giving a bad image to AI, an anti-tech slant. Same with the proliferation of porch pirate videos! In the comments: “That’s just AI at it again!”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday evening that millions of dollars are being smuggled out of Iran by the leadership of the Islamic Republic, adding that the United States is tracking this money

The Treasury’s focus on Iran’s illicit cash flows is spot-on. The REMIT Act of 2025 already exposed how regimes exploit informal money networks to bypass sanctions and fund aggression.
When Tehran’s leaders smuggle billions through shell companies and blended oil shipments, it’s not just corruption—it’s financing terror proxies and nuclear brinkmanship.
Bessent’s sanctions on Iraqi-Kittitian oil blenders last September proved Iran’s reliance on these schemes to bankroll regional chaos.
Cutting off their cash isn’t just about accountability—it’s about dismantling the financial pipelines that let hostile regimes threaten global stability. Every dollar tracked and seized is a blow to their ability to wage hybrid war.
But yet our own government has allowed the Somalians to “waltz billions” right out of our country.

“Correction: no nation in history has gone through a demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time”
― Patrick J. Buchanan, The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization
Seems to me that the EU and the Dems are racing to make that Buchanon quote obsolete.
Isn’t that typical? Many in this country obsessed with a foreign country while our country is robbed blind by foreigners
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the Islamic regime:
“And the other thing, as Treasury who carries out the sanctions, we can see is we are now seeing the rats fleeing the ship because we can see millions, tens of millions of dollars being wired out of the country, snuck out of the country by the Iranian leadership.
So they are abandoning ship, and we are seeing it come into banks and financial institutions all over the world.” He added that the US intends to trace and seize these funds:
“We are going to trace these assets and they will not be able to keep them. What we do at Treasury is we follow the money, whether it is through the banking system or through digital assets.”
Department of Homeland Security:
“At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation of an illegal alien, who was released into the country by Joe Biden, in Northwestern Minneapolis.
In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer.
While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.
Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.
All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.
The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital.
This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers.
Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.”

U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters that Ukraine – not Russia – is holding up a potential peace deal, rhetoric that stands in marked contrast to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending its war in Ukraine.
In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to wrap up his nearly four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskiy, the U.S. president said, was more reticent.
“I think he’s ready to make a deal,” Trump said of the Russian president.
“I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.”
Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe’s largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: “Zelenskiy.”

Zelenski is in deep do-do the minute the war ends. He knows that he’ll be lucky to escape Ukraine with his life instead of hanging from a lamp post somewhere in Kiev.
Well, since Europe offered Zelensky a $100 billion dollar loan package for 2026/27, why wouldn’t Z keep on squeezing the grift?
Because Z cares about Ukrainians?
Yeah, laughable.
It is more like ‘send more consciptees to the front, there is more money to graft off of!’

President Trump has done a lot in removing the DEI scourge from large businesses, large colleges and the federal government / military.
State and local patriots have done a lot to remove the DEI scourge from the local school districts.
No doubt they all have a lot more work to do to get the DEI scourge out of America’s culture.
One overlooked sourced of the DEI scourge is the NGO called The Ad Council.
The Ad Council was founded as a national nonprofit in 1942 with the belief that creative marketing can solve complex social issues. They bully the most innovative advertisers, the best storytellers, and the most powerful platforms to force their globalist’s agenda on unsuspecting American citizens. That agenda includes pushing DEI.
It is no wonder that they have been housed at the University of Illinois since 1986 and have Lisa Sherman as their current president.
The ad council’s sinister, unconstitutional DEI power over America’s advertisers must be removed.
American companies must stop following the unconstitutional ad council rules that demand DEI enforcement. The ad council has no legal enforcement authority.
Companies can kick the DEI ad habit by just kicking it.
There is nothing that President Trump has to do. The companies can act on their own.
MAGA / America First is not only our motto, it is our duty!
👍
Are they the ones that forced every commercial to have inter racial and gratuitous gays?
Can anyone post this: “youtube: “An interracial racial couple on a cheerios ad”
And they call themselves “Legal Observers”
The latest lingo is “Constitutional 0bservers”.

Leftist Women: Even Crazier After All These Years?
https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/leftist-women-even-crazier-after-all-these-years/
“While comedically put, there’s a reality here. I’ve long emphasized that what we call “leftism” today is actually movement toward moral disorder. Just as a house or car left sitting for years without maintenance (energy application) deteriorates, so do cultures and countries.
And mental states can, too.
Without the benefit of good moral habits (i.e., virtues) and effort to maintain them, minds move toward moral disorder. In theological circles this is called “disordered thinking.””
It’s the EYES….ALWAYS the CRAZY EYES !!!

“”Treasury’s role will be making sure the funds get to the proper place,” Bessent added. “We’re the bankers here; we don’t direct the funds.”
I’m sure he’ll make sure those funds go to the proper place. /s I am a lot more skeptical than most of you that the right thing will be done here.
Make sure you have an emotional safety plan for your coming disappointment.
You’re right. It is entirely possible that ActBlue will not be receiving those funds

Update on the Target incident from Lem.
Things Got Worse for Makayla Ponce… Instant Regrets
They are destroying our country so they can import in Democrat voters who also bring their stinkin Carbon footprints which is contrary to Green Nazi Environmental propaganda. Save our Flora & Fauna, deport,deport,deport, and build that wall.
How high would our SS payments rise?
Think of it, some Somali aka 3rd world invader crashes into our country and receives upwards $6000.00 per month. Americans work their entire lives paying into the Ponzi Scheme, that is Social Security/government and lucky to get a 1/3 of that in retirement.
JUSTICE NOW!
To me this was the ultimate Uniparty Council On Foreign Relations Hegelian Dialectic picture. “Enemies” who are really friends and fellow CFR members working to destroy our Heritage America.
Well, that face is associated with an unforgivable attack on those who rule.
But really, it was against corrupt Protestant rulers for corrupt Catholic rulers.
Lem does excellent short videos exposing these ICE vs Karen’s videos.
They Just Found Out ICE Isn’t Playing Anymore
These FAFO videos are GREAT !!!
Thank you, Colkitto !!

There are at least three people in the country stupider than KBJ and those would be the three republicans who voted for her confirmation: Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah).
If I could, would give you a high five on this.
Always leery of people who talk to much. 😏
KBJ is a PERFECT example of a DEI appointment…Didn’t Earn It. There should not only be an IQ test for appointment, but a US Constitution test as well. This idiot is on the bench for life. When the idiocy is so blatant, as it is with this one, there needs to be a mechanism for removal.

The war against our people stretches back to BC times.
I’m the Man That Builds Bridges
1962
I cleared the rocks and timber from the wild New England shore
And I laboured long and hard to make it grow
I fought the savage Indian and I raised a family
Told King George and all his Redcoats where to go
I’m the man that built the bridges
I’m the man that laid the track
I’m the man that built this country
With my shoulders and my back
I’m the man that built the power dams
Oiled all the cars
And I laid down the cornerstone
For this great land of ours
I’m the boy that drove the wagons when the people headed west
Dug canals and pulled the barges on their way
I built and ran the factories, cut the timber for your homes
Drove the oxen when I cut and baled the hay
I built the old sod shanties and I raised the prairie towns
And I made the railroad run from sea to sea
I raised and drove the cattle to feed a growing land
And the mining towns are there because of me
Well, I stoked the mighty furnaces and rolled the flamin’ steel
I operated oil rigs and wells
And when the country needed them, I built the planes and tanks
To send the tyrants down to fry in hell
Well, my face may not be pretty and my clothes are not the best
And there ain’t no big shots in my family tree
But if you’re wonderin’ who it was that made this country great
You don’t have to look no further, it was me
Thank you, Cactus! You started out my day with energy and my head held high!
Just imagining myself up there convinces me I’d lose my balance and be a hazard to anybody next to me.

The vote wasn’t even close. Gives these rouge/corrupt judges incentive to continue doing what they are doing to block Presidential Trump and MAGA policies.
Where is Constitutionalist Rand Paul speaking out on the anti-Constitution abuse of power from these rouge judges.
Congress is so dysfunctional
JMO
Yes and people keep saying impeach those two judges. You can see how that vote would go.
There is no coincidence that we are seeing more Republicans voting with their Democratic peers as we get closer to the Midterms.
Self. Preservation.
Or political suicide depending on the state and district they represent.
Rob Wittman, CD-1, VA (R as in RINO): Gone. 63% freedom score. That’s not a passing grade when I was in school.
It’s a lot of things, but unbelievable is not one of them.
House Republicans, 81 of them, also voted with Democrats to restore funding to the far left National Endowment for Democracy, a feeding trough for leftist causes, including anti-ICE resistance.
It’s gotten to the point where you almost have to hold your nose to vote Republican, and even then that is only to keep the anarchist Democrats out of power as their sole order of business would be to disrupt and destroy the president’s agenda.

Hal Rogers? NOT surprised. Guy has toll roads and water parks named after him in Southeast ky. Likely he’s for 2 things: 1.bond issuance 2.The swamp (see number 1).
Joyce (OH) & Turner (OH) have long been in competition to see which can be the best at being the worst GOPe from Ohio. Reliable backstabber votes. (Others are very unreliable as well, but these just about never vote well on any important question.)
A Tale of Two Warnings: Orwell’s 1984 Comes True in Martin’s Fabian Freeway
https://thenewamerican.com/opinion/book-reviews/a-tale-of-two-warnings-orwells-1984-comes-true-in-martins-fabian-freeway/
“Fabian influence has grown since then by leaps and bounds. Today the group is best known in the United States as the Democratic Socialists of America, which pegs itself as the largest socialist organization in the country, “with over 80,000 members and chapters in all 50 states.” U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and New York City’s Democratic Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani are some of its most well-known members. More than 250 members hold public office at local, state or national levels across the country.
Those who wish to learn the inner workings of the Fabian Society so we can stop its adherents in their tracks will find Martin’s exposé both illuminating and instructive. Fabian Freeway is one of a number of Americanist classics that The John Birch Society’s publishing arm, Western Islands, is bringing back to life.”
(One of the reasons the John Birch Society was targeted by our enemies was because their re-publishing of books they do not want us to read like this one and Robinson’s “Proofs of a Conspiracy” which helped launch the Anti-Masonic Party by exposing what they really are to America back in the 1800’s)
Rogue Biden Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Withholding Food Stamp Funds from Minnesota – Jan. 14, 2026 8:20 pm
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/rogue-biden-judge-blocks-trump-admin-withholding-food/
4321….A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump Administration from withholding food stamp funds amid a review of rampant fraud in the state.
US District Judge Laura Provinzino, a Biden appointee, said the USDA must unfreeze the money allocated to Minnesota.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins previously ordered Minnesota to reenroll SNAP recipients and crack down on the fraud.
Minnesota refused to comply with Rollins’ order and filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.
Last week, Rollins suspended all federal financial rewards to Minnesota.
Thank You, Lord, for this day. May I accomplish something good in Your Holy Name.
morning Treepers………..be well

Wowza. Awesome. 🤩
Thank you.
Have a blessed day.
Oh! You have out done yourself!
Today is the oral argument at SCOTUS in Trump v. Cook.
Cook is the Fed board member who pulled a Big Tish and lied on her mortgage application. Trump fired her, but she refuses to leave.
As in the Slaughter case, when can the president fire a director of an “independent” agency?
Sorry. Now scheduled for 1/21.
(Trump)….”has consistently been underestimated as a strategic thinker. He’s also exceptionally uninhibited, and he has used that lack of inhibition to shatter diplomatic norms and practices in the service of establishing new international realities that would have seemed impossible to imagine before he first entered the White House.”
He’s entirely wrong here in his second paragraph.
I believe that much of what Trump has done to alienate our allies carries serious long-term costs, as do some of his domestic policies, such as his commitment to cutting federal science programs, his undermining of the rule of law, and his brazen corruption.
Europe and the EU certainly are not our allies- they’ve been blood sucking parasites that should be entirely cut loose at this point.
What is ‘Science” today? this person clearly ‘Trusts The Science” and what does that say?
He cut many federal programs because they were no good, corrupt, redundant, or in many cases, the job can be done better in the private sector.
The writer seems to not understand that we’re in this place in large part because of the SIZE of this government.
Obviously every problem we’re suffering from has been made far worse because of the size and scale of the government theft machine.
Making it all smaller is necessary, it’s vital, and that means things are going to get cut- period.
What choice is there? see that debt?
What the writer is viewing as long term costs is really opportunity for the private sector- for Capitalism.
If it did not result in a weak and ineffective military I would not be opposed to discouraging White recruits-they have been the majority in our military and risked their lives for too long.
New Yorkers recently voted and demanded more of this…..he will never survive Rikers
U.S. Constitution is meaningless if it does not apply to every American.
NYS and NYC gun laws now demand that it’s citizens including veteran police officers go to seminars and training before issued a carry permit.
The price of that in NYC including permit fees is close to $1,000 every 3 years now.
“Brian Mast, chair of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, and former House speaker Nancy Pelosi each posted photos with Lai’s daughter, Claire, underscoring Washington voices’ backing for her father. Mast wrote that Lai had been unjustly convicted for advocating a democratic Hong Kong, calling the verdict a “kangaroo-court ruling” that underscored the failings of Communist China. Pelosi said Lai was being held in inhumane conditions and insisted the world must not remain silent in the face of Beijing’s crackdown on dissent. Both used the hashtag calling for Lai’s release.”
