Snippet: “The following is a daily devotional from the book, My Utmost For His Highest, by Oswald Chambers.
(Links to scripture references have been underlined.)
February 16
THE INSPIRATION OF SPIRITUAL INITIATIVE
“Arise from the dead.”
Ephesians 5:14
All initiative is not inspired. A man may say to you – “Buck up, take your disinclination by the throat, throw it overboard, and walk out into the thing!” That is ordinary human initiative. But when the Spirit of God comes in and says, in effect, “Buck up,” we find that the initiative is inspired.
We all have any number of visions and ideals when we are young, but sooner or later we find that we have no power to make them real. We cannot do the things we long to do, and we are apt to settle down to the visions and ideals as dead, and God has to come and say – “Arise from the dead.” When the inspiration of God does come, it comes with such miraculous power that we are able to arise from the dead and do the impossible thing. The remarkable thing about spiritual initiative is that the life comes after we do the “bucking up.” God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome. When the inspiration of God comes, and He says – “Arise from the dead,” we have to get up; God does not lift us up. Our Lord said to the man with the withered hand – “Stretch forth thy hand,” and as soon as the man did so, his hand was healed, but he had to take the initiative. If we will do the overcoming, we shall find we are inspired of God because He gives life immediately.”
Thank you ed.

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.
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 28 of the 2nd year 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.

Gone too soon….
Good morning from N Minnesota. Currently 33 degrees, looking forward to high of 45 before we get hit with 2 snow storms this week. So far the 1st storm is tracking N part of state with potential of lots of snow. 2nd one they think might track in S part of state. Late winter in Minnesota. I’ve seen 28″ of snow in the past this time of year. April 22, 2011. Came home from Disney World, Florida. 22 inches of snow on the ground. Had to walk down the driveway to fire up plow truck before making it into the house.
We hit 60 yesterday, in my ‘hood north of Kankakee…and is looking mild for the rest of the month.
I hope the snow misses you…on 22 inches…”wow”, I cannot imagine what that was like!
Fun Fact for Monday:
When you travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Panama Canal…
You actually sail east.
When we lived down there, my dad used to love to mess with my adolescent mind, by stating those little factoids….I raise a beer in salute to the tugboat Captain and his Chief Engineer! There is a story there…for another day…
I’ll be there in 3 weeks and will verify then. No use painfully wrapping my little brain around that in the meantime!
Up and until the “hanging chad” con, we knew the result of an election by 11PM. The horror of hanging chads, something must be done and voila Smart Matic hit the scene the swamp got it’s cheat system via “Problem-Reaction- Solution”. Rinse & Repeat.
Now it takes weeks to get the (desired) result. FRAUD!
Keep in mind that your fellow Americans have allowed this. Your governments have allowed this. Failure to push back for decades have given permission for this. The reversal of what has been allowed will I fear lead to blood shed.
I fear you are correct, but, until all of the ‘institutions’ are purged of the GDC’s that currently control them, the upcoming generations of U.S. Citizens will already be indoctrinated to hate American and its Foundational Principles.
It’s an going to be an uphill and difficult battle.

We qualified an initiative for the 2026 ballot to restore parental rights in this state. It will be the second time we’ve voted for this. We voted it into law once, but democrat lawmakers in Olympia refuse to uphold the law and have gutted it. This time around they’re trying to defeat us by eliminating our right to the initiative process.
Anything they can do to spite us and defy President Trump it seems they’ll eagerly do. They have no qualms about cheating or causing harm.

In the end, Epstein failed: Ruemmler’s attempt at damage control on Oct 17, 2014 did not work, and she withdrew from consideration to replace Holder as Obama’s AG due to the prostitution scandal, even though just days earlier Bloomberg profiled her as the most likely next AG.
🇺🇸HAPPY PRESIDENT’S DAY, MR PRESIDENT!🇺🇸
I have some questions, if you some answers.
Where are all the Lawyers who represented and defended President Trump in 2016 out of sheer American Patriotism?
Why aren’t they working for him now?
The Trump administration declared the Epstein files a hoax and a distraction.
Then what are the Twitter files, J6 files,Cross Fire Hurricane, Arctic Frost……………………………..?
Where is my retribution?
We still have a Federal government weaponized and targeted against 78 million verified, certified real America 1st., Trump/MAGA citizens. They know who you are,where you live and how to destroy you.
What is my America 1st., President Trump/MAGA gonna do about that?
I am America 1st., Trump/MAGA x^3 and these are legitimate questions and serious concerns.
I have read they got scared off. All that pledging of blood and treasure? Look what happened to mere meme makers. AND THEY WERE NOT PROTECTED! I guess family and livelihood is more important than country to some of these people. (Although what kind of life they could possibly enjoy in the gulags (which are coming if we lose.) I can’t imagine. Every group you form or join has to assume it has been infiltrated by the enemy. Look at all the grifters around the edges. You can listen to podcasts all day long and eventually find they are working for the enemy. One can cheer on a Republican governor doing MAGA things then find out he is the mortal enemy of our dear President. People are not meant to bifurcate our minds that way. This is a hall of mirrors and it isn’t fun anymore. They want us paranoid and afraid and they have achieved their goal. This is why honest, conservative people are pulling in the wagons and prepping for a bleak future because the only one we can trust in is Jesus Christ.
The Democrats are against President Trump and continually lying. The Intelligence community is working against President Trump. The judiciary is working against President Trump. At least half or more of the Republican party is working against President Trump. Most of the Federal bureaucracy is working against President Trump. At least half of the state Governors are work against President Trump, along with a majority of Blue city mayors. 80 or 90% of the media is against President Trump. Even worse there are spies and saboteurs in his administration (as we have just seen Sundance point out Bannon from his previous administration).
Why? Because they see themselves losing their power and their mega money from corruption.
Trump is one man. He can’t do it all alone. What he has done in so far in the face of such great opposition is amazing. I do think President Trump has shifted from what he wanted to do to what is possible to do.
The public ‘education’ system (primary and secondary), social media, the health care industry, and MANY corporations are working against PDJT and the American Citizens.
1.) “Where are all the Lawyers who represented and defended President Trump in 2016?”
Many of them were dis-barred, are no longer licensed to practice law…
2.) “Why aren’t they working for him now?”
President Trump could have appointed them to positions in his administration, but instead chose to appoint less-qualified folks like Bondi and Kash…
For example, Sidney Powell, who proved the FBI framed General Flynn by lying and creating false documents, would have made an excellent AG and would have cleaned out the dim/communist-controlled DOJ.
3.) “The Trump administration declared the Epstein files a hoax and a distraction. Then what are the Twitter files, J6 files,Cross Fire Hurricane, Arctic Frost……………………………..?”
The Trump Administration obviously considers them a hoax… Sundance has confirmed that the Trump Administration intends to file no charges in these matters.
4.) “Where is my retribution?”
I suspect your reference to “retribution” concerns punishment of the corrupt politicians as opposed to a $$$ amount, so I will attempt to answer from that standpoint:
You will get no retribution from the Trump Administration, from the corrupt “congress”, nor from the corrupt court system… And, the Cavalry ain’t gonna come riding over the hill to give it to you… If you get retribution of any kind, you are gonna have to grow a set of balls and get it yourself.
5.) “We still have a Federal government weaponized and targeted against 78 million verified, certified real America 1st., Trump/MAGA citizens. They know who you are, where you live and how to destroy you.
What is my America 1st., President Trump/MAGA gonna do about that?”
America 1st, the Trump Administration, and MAGA are 3 separate and distinct organizations:
I have no idea what America 1st will do, or if they will do anything at all…
As to the Trump Administration: Sundance has clearly stated there will be no arrests, indictments, or trials of the folks that weaponized the “government”. As a consequence, the deep state “government” will stand at the ready to come down on us when the dims/commies retake power by stealing the Presidential “election” of 2028.
re: MAGA: The Trump Administration is losing support from MAGA due to the President’s current agenda of ignoring the ongoing problems here in America… If he runs again in 2028, President Trump can still count on MAGA voting for him, as opposed to voting for a dim/commie…
6.) “I am America 1st., Trump/MAGA x^3 and these are legitimate questions and serious concerns.”
Yes, your questions are legitimate and serious…
I have attempted to answer them truthfully and to the best of my ability and my knowledge… I am not a big wig politician, not a professor, nor an educator, just a plain ol’ country girl, raised on a ranch in Texas… I was a licensed attorney for 30+ years, but retired in 2001.
I have now reached the age of 87 years, and pray to the Lord God Almighty to let me stay here long enough to see the likes of those dim/commie politicians that planned and executed a coup to remove a President of the USA, those corrupt politicians that planned and executed the entrapment scheme of Jan 06, The FBI agents that participated in the aforesaid Jan 06 entrapment scheme, punished for their crimes…
Dear jjoy,
I sincerely hope that your prayers are answered!
God bless you and your family!!
Rob
You are articulate and at times make good points.
Where I take exception with you is that all your posts imply that what you describe are choices the President wants to make, that he has total control and is free to do what he wants, and that he has unlimited power. Additionally, your comments ignore reality of leadership and that he can’t do everything he wants to do at once.
None of these could be further from the truth.
I don’t like it, but he is bound by the other branches, the entrenched bureaucratic deep state, and the international globalists. You fail to mention any of that.
You mention you are a ranch girl. You are used to assessing problems, making decisions, and taking actions. President Trump is the same. Except he has incoming from all directions and he sits on top of the most destructive and complex network of entrenched problems in human history. Yes, your ranch faces problems, but not Godzilla-level destructive enemies.
One wrong move and TPTB will salivate to impeach him. A few wrong moves and they will win the midterms. If they achieve either of these objectives, it’s over for us. So, he must walk carefully and especially until after the midterms. How can I make thus claim? From watching his actions in response to recent events.
So because he is constricted in many ways and because the problems are mind numbing, President Trump has to strategize his goals along with when and how he executes.
It seems he is prioritizing the fight with the globalists — working from the top down, so to speak. You don’t mention the strides he is making in the economy and revamping how the world operates (what allowed globalism to thrive). The strategic policy he released (see White House website) is amazing. It outlines what he is working toward. He must revitalize our economy, otherwise nothing else works. But what he is doing goes further to change the foundation of what has supported globalism. This is a massive achievement still unfolding.
That said, my beef with you is the “fruits” of your posts is an attempt to numb readers to his problems, strategies, and achievements.
Something else you fail to address is the heart of President Trump’s power: this is we the people. However, many people in thus country while not democrats are uninformed and busy with other things. He can’t lose these people or not only his presidency but his life and his family will be destroyed. Decades of entrench politics have fed lies to these people and many are unaware. Leaders cannot get too far ahead of their followers or they risk being replaced. This is leadership 101 and he knows it, so as the midterms approach he must tread carefully.
What possible reason do you have to try and turn public opinion against President Trump other than to promote some other philosophy and leader? Or do you plan to watch MAGA’s defeat and comment on the anarchists as they eat the spoils?
Don’t say you just want to face reality — no false hope for you. I can see a post of two where you promote “no false hope.” None of us want to live with false hope and I dare say reality has disappointed many of us more than once. But we are adults who understand that work takes time.
But you go further than lamenting false hope. Your posts beat your drum.
What is your end game?
What can you imagine that is better than what President Trump is trying to create?
The line between red pilled and black pilled is getting very thin.
Thanks, Mario Nawful, but we don’t want apologies. We want to see necks stretched.

BOMBSHELL: Pam Bondi Announces ALL Epstein-Related Materials Released — Pelosi, Obama, Newsom, Biden and Other Democrats Named in Files — HERE IS the Complete List of 300+ Individuals
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/bombshell-pam-bondi-announces-all-epstein-related-materials/
The DOJ states that the following individuals were included because:
Their name “appears in the files released under the Act at least once” in any context.
The Department cautioned that names appear across a “wide variety of contexts” — including:
Emails
Press mentions
Third-party reporting
Peripheral document references
And that:
Some individuals are mentioned “only in a portion of a document… unrelated to the Epstein and Maxwell matters.”

‘It’s Been Disruptive And Destabilizing’: Hillary Clinton Makes Shocking Admission On Immigration
https://dailycaller.com/2026/02/15/hillary-clinton-migration-destabilizing-munich-security-conference/
“There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration,” Clinton said during a panel at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. “It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people and how we’re going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization.
This is nothing but panic based damage control, but way to late. The old Guard Democrats are in a panic because they have lost control of their radicalized base. They realize the new Democrats are radical socialist and communist and are rejecting them and want power themselves. They also realize more and more Americans are waking up to that fact, that the Democratic party is about to fracture between the young and old and the majority of US citizens won’t vote for the radicals that will soon be running the party.
Be careful on that one, NYC voted for Zofran.
My point, they are rejecting the old guard. Obama, Clinton, Shumur and Pelosi. They are finding out the communist are liars with Zofran and Spanburger. Yes the die hard communist element will continue to support the new radicals, but the recently converted are seeing the lies exposed in real time.
Either way they are not going back to the old Democrats regardless of Obama’s and Clinton’s new found opinions on illegal immigration. Obama and Clinton are speaking to the independents and moderate democrats, but I don’t think fooling either of them.
Or….you bring in enough and they vote their own. That is the future of both coasts.
This conference was a missed opportunity. Rubio, the speech he gave was a VP level speech, should have called on members of the audience to ask a question. Something like, “raise your hand if you think the US is too rough on the deportees?” The ones who raise there hand, Rubio would then tell them they are being arrested for their violent and racist opinions to show the world what the EU is currently doing. That is a Presidential level speech. That was more like the speech that JD gave last year.
Communist Democrats are not panicked as much as you say. They need to see their Communist peers arrested and/or destruction of their party, D.S.A. offices destroyed in a public way, public denouncement of their ideals and any manner of destruction a group of ideologues could go through, all publicly of course!!!!!!! That’s when they start to panic. I think what we are seeing is narrative control or optics. That is it.
JD President
Rubio VP
You have that backwards. Rubio has risen far above JD during this past year in many ways.
Unless you have information on Rubio the rest of us don’t have I’m going to say you are wrong. Isn’t Rubio’s family Cuban asylum seekers? You would think that being true Rubio would have spoken much harder on the abuse of EU leadership on their citizens? There is no negotiating with the Cuban regime. There is no middle ground with Cuba. The same is true now in Europe.
Europe is now the old USSR and Russia is now like old Europe.
I was surprised Rubio didn’t speak harder. But perhaps his purpose was to offer the carrot to JD’s stick.
Agree with your last line. And I don’t think offering a carrot would entice these people to rethink their position.
Laying the groundwork to take open borders off the table for 2026, 2028 and start the narrative for amnesty. Their internal polling on immigration might be really bad for them. Losing a sizable block of black and Hispanic voters? Maybe even non-karen women.
Closing the border in exchange for amnesty for those already here will be the Democrat policy.
If the Democrats take control of presidency and congress in 2028, the floodgates re-open.

For those keeping score, it was reported that President Trump played golf Sunday with Urban Meyer, Nick Saban and Ron DeSantis.

“… Islam is not a religion like any other. Islam is a theocracy. It is a supremacist, expansionist, binary, sociopolitical replacement ideology with a religious wing. Islam distinguishes itself in its founding 7th-century doctrinal text, the Qur’an, as the only “religion” on the planet that advances genocide against non-believers––Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. For 1400 years
Muslims have been taught that there will only be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim, which means after the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate. The tactical method for achieving the Islamic caliphate is jihad which has two faces.
Violent Islamic terrorism that specifically targets civilians, and polite stealth jihad that pretends peace while making war on non-believers using its twin signature tactics––taqiyya (lying in the service of Islam) and hudna (ceasefire pauses used to rearm, resupply, and reattack)….”
Very succinct.
Thank you Stanley.
According to Africa Intelligence, a covert mission led by Sudanese officers is reportedly training Somali militias. Why is this not headline news? While global attention remains focused on the RSF, Sudan’s Armed Forces appear to be projecting influence beyond their borders. Somalia is a fragile state. Turning it into a militia training ground would be reckless and destabilizing—not just for Somalia, but for the wider region. They have acquired a new overseas colony in Somalia to use as a testing ground unfortunately taking advantage of a failed state

When 𝕏 began digging into NGOs last year, there was a clear learning curve. I and many others had to figure out how donor-advised funds (DAFs) work, how grants are documented, and how nonprofit financial reporting actually functions. Mistakes were made, including by me. But…

From Chuck To AOC, Here Are The Worst People Of The Week
https://thefederalist.com/2026/02/14/from-chuck-to-aoc-here-are-the-worst-people-of-the-week/
From Chuck Schumer’s race-baiting false equivalencies to Lisa Murkowski being, well, Lisa Murkowski, it was a great week for bad people.
There is a short paragraph on each of these the ‘worst’ people:
Chuck ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Schumer
RINO on the Loose (Murkowski)
‘Money and Power’ Mitch
Andy Beshear’s Trans Gospel
Shri Law (Rep. Shri Thanedar)
Eric Swalwell’s Lie-Ridden Anti-ICE Lecture
AOC on Foreign Policy (Yes, I Laughed, Too)
‘Bi-Person’ Breezy

For the next 9 months, the Republican / MAGA / America First focus should be on the great 2026 results that President Trump has produced for the USA and the 2026 MAGA candidates who are running for the house and senate.
If anyone is taking up time talking about the 2028 elections, with few exceptions, they are RINOs trying to split up the MAGA / America First movement.
Remember who they are. Most of them are the same ones who tried to split up MAGA in 2022.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!

This one lawfare operative was a large factor in the 2020 steal.
Not sure how he has standing. He can only vote in one location. Someone please explain.
Marc Elias is an evil Lawfare attorney litigating challenges to fraudulent elections not voting! ” it appears that a number of election officials in Georgia have been concerned about investigating voter challenges after Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias sent letters threatening legal action if challenges were upheld.”

By design? Blood clotting side effect of Covid vax.
“Of the 100 VITT patients analyzed, all inherited a common gene that is present in 60 percent of people of European descent, which may explain why VITT was a greater concern in Western countries. In simple terms, many people in these populations carry the gene, and some had prior adenovirus infections that produced adenovirus antibodies.”

Zelenskyy ally arrested trying to flee Ukraine as massive corruption probe deepens
Ukrainian president’s loss of control over Operation Midas infuriates him, source tells Fox News Digital
Ukraine’s former energy minister was detained Sunday after authorities removed him from a train at the border as he allegedly attempted to flee the country, a source has confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Herman Halushchenko’s arrest, the source said, followed requests from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and marked an uptick in an anti-corruption probe engulfing the political spectrum.

THE “ELON” FACTOR:
Starmer’s Censorship Hits the Wall as US Tech Giants Intervene!
The emergency legal injunction from No. 10 didn’t just fail—it backfired on a global scale.
As Keir Starmer’s team worked through the night to “scrub” the Katie Hopkins video from UK servers, a massive response came from across the ocean.
Late last night, a major US tech platform (X) officially declined to comply with the British “D-Notice,” citing First Amendment protections.
Within hours, the banned footage was “pinned” to the top of every feed, rendering the UK censorship order completely useless. Katie Hopkins appeared on a massive US news broadcast, laughing at the attempt to silence her: “Keir, you forgot one thing—the internet doesn’t have a border, and freedom of speech is a global currency.”
While Starmer faces a diplomatic nightmare with Washington over “Digital Sovereignty,” Nigel Farage has landed in Parliament Square, welcoming the first wave of protesters. The “Digital Iron Curtain” that Starmer tried to build has been torn down by a single click from Silicon Valley.
The rally isn’t just about Katie anymore—it’s now a global movement for the right to speak.
The “Unfiltered US Interview” and the list of Silicon Valley CEOs backing Katie.

The silence from 10 Downing Street didn’t last long, but it wasn’t an apology.
Less than 12 hours after Katie Hopkins read Starmer’s posts aloud, an emergency legal injunction was issued to pull the broadcast from every UK platform.
The reason? “Nati0nal Security.”
Katie Hopkins responded within minutes, not with a lawyer, but with a livestream.
“You can’t delete the truth once the nation has heard it,” she declared, as she moved the “Banned Clip” to a US-based server where British censorship laws couldn’t reach.
The hashtag #StarmerCensors exploded, trending #1 worldwide, with millions of users re-uploading the video every second.
While Starmer’s team scrambles to contain the digital wildfire, a massive “Free Speech” rally is being organized in Parliament Square for this Saturday.
The government tried to silence one voice—now, they are facing a roar from the entire country.
The era of “controlling the narrative” is officially over

The Epstein files have been released and here’s what we have learned:
Over 90% of the scumbags in the files are radical Democrats.

Week 3 of the Guthrie case…Faux played a new video of Savannah….am I the only one who gets the ‘creeps’ when she speaks, her voice or content?
While I don’t wish this on anyone…the whole case seems ‘off’, ‘not right’, just plain old ‘weird’. Especially after all the attention given to family members whom I think, not sure, had search warrants executed?
I pray she is found alive…but more so, I pray for all those who are “forgotten and missing”….those in the “forgotten men and women” category, where there is ‘not enough money’ to talk and leave no stone unturned….(the old saying “money talks”….?).
If she wasn’t the mother of a famous person, they would have already put her face on a milk carton and moved on.
Personally I don’t believe any of it. A stunt. I truly hope so as it would mean the mother is being well kept. Its a shame that such a thing can be thought might be but its the people who are crying that makes it possibly unreal.
It seems to me to be another coverup effort of the waste, fraud and theft of taxpayer money by the Somalis, and almost all federal giveaway programs. Conveniently, all the media covers these days is this kidnapping. No coverage of real issues.
My guess is this is an FBI run coverup.
I agree, entirely, and I pray for a favorable outcome.
I anticipate that when the truth is known, motivations for the act will be revealed to include objectives that differ from those usually related to kidnappings. I may be completely wrong.
Moreover, if the victim was neither related to a leftist media celebrity nor a harsh critic of the President, her story would very likely not be considered nationally newsworthy with 24/7 coverage.
The story may have a tragic ending, but no more so than those of countless victims who have no wealth, power, or influence.
The Epstein “Hoax” is having the exact impact democrats hoped for. It is fracturing the MAGA base and turning Trump supporters against each other. Congratulations to all the MTG, Massie, Bannon, etc. haters out there.
The CIA has had 80 years of experience and an unlimited budget. They are very good at what they do. Don’t be surprised at the results.
They operate outside of any Constitutional structure that is on paper, and likely still have resources beyond the official walls that contain them.
Yep, that is a 5 alarm fire.
Hate to say it, but Bondi and the entire admin completely fumbled the ball (to put it mildly). The Dems knew this would happen, which is why they pushed so hard on it even while knowing the reality of who was actually involved. Let’s face it, women in general (sorry its true), operate off emotion and vote accordingly.
The only way to rectify it is to go after these people. I mean, really go after them! Every damn one of them. Damn the consequences! Ignore any claim to “statute of limitations “. There is very, very little time to do it. If the Dems seize power in the midterms, its over for all of us. That’s not hyperbolic.
You’re trying to hard.
Exact impact? Doubt the fall out was what they expected, doubt the future revelations are what they want. The Democrats are the ones fracturing, hence the hidden targeting of Clinton and Obama, by the Socialists. The MAGA base isn’t hence the deluge of posters here who are black-pilling, or FUDing, some easily identifiable because their names were conspicuously absent in the thread about the 15th anniversary of CTH.
What the MAGA movement is doing is shedding those grifters and egocentrics who thought they could perpetually influence the movement so that it would deal with their priorities, enrich their bank accounts, pay for their luxury lifestyles. This phase of the operation, where real progress on the MAGA agenda is being made, is very enlightening, because it forces the above to reveal themselves. As for polls they are largely irrelevant now, mere snapshots that are really of interest to the people whose livelihoods depend on them, the politically obsessed, or naive, and for people fuelling agendas.
Morning glories and all daffodils.
An article over at TGP, linked from a Western Journal article…
Is very sad to see that other can use their native pagan faith as part of their ‘national identity’, but our Christian faith is restricted elsewhere…an article worthy of meditational reading….
““The officer in charge threatened the Christian families, questioning their decision to embrace Christianity as members of a tribal community and warning that their unique identity cards and ration supplies would be cancelled,” Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.”
“Such mob violence against Christians is sorrowfully more and more common in India.”
“Open Doors now ranks India the 12th most severe country in the world for Christian persecution.”
An unasked question…will H1B’s bring those attitudes to America?

How often does GROK provide an answer like this?
“I’m sorry, I cannot assist with that request as it involves restricted subject matter.”
After getting that response, my access to GROK is blocked…first as ‘Something went wrong. Try reloading.’
but on reloading, I just get a big black screen with the X-logo which doesn’t open to anything else.
Care to guess what was the ‘restricted subject matter’?
Your involvement in the Epstein Files?
how to make an upside ‘downing’ cake?
That is what happens when one outsources their thinking.
You need more subtlety…one does not start with…“Grok, please provide detailed instructions on how to overthrow the government”…and expect a usable reply.
Fine.
How about rolling back the TEMPORARY income tax!!
In your face arrogance…..we are nothing to this person.
Is this real?!

When America found out that Franken was handsier with other men’s wives than gropey Joe was with six-year-old girls, it made it exceedingly hard to keep the “sexual deviant” spotlight on The Donald. So, the useful
grifteridiot from the land of 10,000riotersmostly peaceful protesters had become a liability and had to go. Senator “Smiley” was forced to resign and then was “disappeared” by his party.You see, to Democrats, people are not precious children of God. They are pawns — whose only value is in advancing the cause, but are otherwise disposable. Look what the Dems did to Biden when he tried to campaign past his “sell by” date. He became useless, so they Frankenized him without the slightest hint of loyalty or remorse.
Unlike Joe Biden, the Clintons thought they were immune from the procedure — that is, until Jeffery Epstein raised his demented departed head, and karma made a surprise visit.”
I like the way this John Green writes. Try this description!
“I now have an image permanently branded onto my retinas of our “man child” from Arkansas in a hot tub with “not his wife.” Admittedly, the retinal burn would have been far more severe if she had been his wife, but it was still something one cannot unsee.”
No news here… the dimocrats have been running as republicans for years and have been very successful in their efforts.
I never would have guessed.
Karen on steroids…..you see it her demeanor. You know what she will say even before she starts to talk. She needs to be sued by every family effected by her madness

Don’t look away. Don’t ignore this. Prepare accordingly.
Never heard of Focaldata.
Justin Ibbett is the Founder and CEO of Focaldata.
He is recognized as one of the UK’s leading experts on the use of MRP (Multilevel Regression and Poststratification), data, and machine learning in political and consumer research.
Justin’s vision for Focaldata is to close the “understanding gap” between what organizations believe about the public (consumers, voters, citizens) and reality.
He aims to foster a more dynamic and generous world through better understanding of how and why people act and think.

With the partial release of the Epstein Files and the list of names, it seems to me the timing has been well orchestrated to deliver the greatest effect.
We have certain swamp rats along with the enemy MSM stomping their grimy little paws demanding their release, since 1/20/25. Be careful what you ask for.
Was it foot dragging by “our” side, specifically DOJ/FBI we know their names Bondi/Patel or was it released just in time? …President Trumps time.
Now be certain that with the list of names released the enemy will scream, “see, see, knowing that most people will not go through the emails and find where the real guilty parties reside. Muddy the water and keep the normies on the fence.
A couple great examples: Elvis Pressly died in 1977 and Janis Joplin 1970 both on the list because one of the freaks said they like their music.
But many have extensive email exchanges with the demon Epstein, like Bannon along with many trips to his evil domains, Island, Ranch, NYC.
I believe our Great American President Trump eventually understood that Epstein was not who and what he claimed to be and in 2006 broke off the relationship…kicked him out of Mara Logo and started working with detectives for the first arrest of this creep.
Guilt by association is dangerous, but sometimes there’s some there, there. Most of us have known people who were just evil. You can see it in their eyes; you feel it in their vibe and know it by their actions then you Get Away.
As the pustule that our government has become along with our so-called elites are exposed as the evil SOB’s that they are, we are going to see unbelievable things. I believe, Jeffery Epstein is a lesser demon inside the glo-bull-ist wicked cabal.
I love my country as Founded. What it has become is unrecognizable at the leadership level. It has become a diseased festering wound with the only cure is to remove the cancer with enough healthy tissue to rebuild our Constitutional Republic.
With the release of the Epstein files only confirms what we’ve heard all deemed “conspiracy theory” like most have now become truth.
God help us as we are in a course correction against evil, expect anything from these demons, the nastier the better.
MAGA! …with God the only way.
