The Still Hour – Verses and Prayers for Sunday
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement; who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Thank you Harrison.
Good morning Sherry. Hope you have a blessed Sunday!

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 48 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.
AMEN
Amen!
Amen
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Amen
Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏
Blessed Sunday Frank!
“Some perspective on gas prices”….
Gas at Shell near San Diego Airport is $6.19 and it’s not just the tax.
You’re right, it is also due to the closure of 2 refineries in the state and the cost of transporting gasoline refined in LA and TX to the Bahamas then through the Panama Canal to CA ports. All Gov. Dippity Doo’s doing.
8 dollars I have read in some places. The ignorant will blame that on the war instead of oil and gas leaving California.
I think we need a constitutional amendment that says they cannot pass laws like Obama care that do not apply to them
Also that their salary cannot exceed a GS federal employee’s salary (and or military) Like military VHA they can receive an additional stipend for living in DC or cost of travel to and from their home during session. Same for their pensions, but based on years of service.
All sexual trust fund distributions are public record.
Not sure how you stop insider trading.
… and these same congress Critters wanted to tax as income:
Our Healthcare Plans … as a government created penalty for those opposing Obamacare
Airline Reward Miles and other “pay back shopping perks”
Any market increases to the value of our homes and personal savings
These congress critters still force us to pay taxes on our own retirement savings by mandated Required Minimum Distributions … after wrecking Social Security and precipitating the destruction of the traditional “pension concept”.
They TAX our social security benefits (collected as a tax) after wrecking the fund via “borrowing” and expanding use of the fund for welfare programs (i.e. SSI and Disability Payouts).
The literally TAX Medicare BENEFIT recipients via PREMIUMS to cover the “borrowing” from the fund by Congress for welfare programs (Obamacare and expanded Medicaid for example) and by expanding eligibility to those NOT paying into the benefit plan.
That’s on us. We allow this by ignoring what they’re doing for themselves. We have for decades. Term limits should have been put in place long ago. Salaries should have had caps on them and so should travel expenses. We allow them to write their own ticket and don’t raise a stink ever in any sort of numbers.
People asked about this will give the same answer”Well, I can’t do anything about it.” Therefore nobody says much. Nobody gets mad. Nobody is willing to stand together and demand our elected by us officials answer to us. Most Americans turn away unless it is a crisis issue like electing Pres. Trump was.
It happens at every level of govt. We elect them but only a small percent of us who are eligible actually vote. We have a crisis staring us in the face in NOv. How many of us will turn up and vote to save Pres. Trump’s America first agenda? We had better because only overwhelming numbers of us voting will beat the corrupt election systems still in place.
Politics has evolved into a career … from being a service to others and country/state/village
{ Jasmine Crockett’s pastor is taking her place in Congress, here’s a reminder of what he said after Charlie Kirk was killed }
I was thinking that wicked ‘itch with the split personality was ENOUGH! racial supremacy+ for US Congress…
apparently not;
Nope… a male wicked ‘itch is being sent to ‘finish the job”.
SO… along with the other exemplary suggestions in this thread…
There really should be a sanity test – along with street-&-patent-drug testing – for holding public office AND administering elections at every level; psychopaths, sociopaths, & the drug-addicted need not apply; I’m 100% serious about this.
We The People ought to be *extremely* discriminating about the mentally deranged holding office,
*skin color not a factor*… just no more mental cases anywhere in gov’t.
Crikey already!
Addendum:
Add Caste & Class supremacy to the sanity testing – the “I’m better than other Humans because of my…”
is not a sane person.
In my life the MOST RACIST people I’ve met are Liberal/Progressives, notice how there isn’t a “Person of Color” in that picture.
They’re also the most rigid in their world views, refusing anything that rejects that. They’re also the first to first to FORCE “Gender Transitioning” onto their own children.
Also come on, you can see just from the looks on their faces, they aren’t happy and if they’re married they’re slowly smothering the life from their spouses.
BINGO, all of it.
I am female.
I am white.
The worst are liberal, progressive, white females.
There is no logic– no balance — no discernment.
Currently, I hide from people that I have known for a lifetime.
I feel like I woke up in the latest version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
I look in their eyes 👀—and the person that I once knew is … gone!
🌬️
…I am white.
I am male.
The worst are liberal, progressive, white males.
I just snoozed on Facebook one of my friends from 5th grade with a TDS, and I have the same reaction as you to him and those like him.
I am female.
I am not white.
I completely agree with you.
The most hateful, racist, disgusting, dangerous group in the western world are the AWFULs.
I am female.
I am mostly white… My GrandFather on my Mother’s side was full-blood Chicasaw, so I have “red dirt” in my blood… I did have blond hair but it has aged to grey, still have blue eyes so no one knows about my “red dirt” unless I tell them.
The worst are liberal, progressive, politicians, be they male or female or dim/commies or repulsicans…
They have no logic– no balance — no discernment… and, represent no one but themselves…
Currently, I never hide from people, if they don’t like what I say, they can kiss my Royal ass! (Yes, my ass is Royal ’cause I am actually The Duchess of Middleham)…
I have awakened in the latest version of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I look in their eyes — the person that I once elected to be President, is … gone!
Agree! It’s almost like they are experiencing perpetual menopause with all the emotional turbulence that goes with it! Out of their minds!
They are so emotionally and mentally unstable its reflected in the number of physical ailments they display. Their physiology has been deeply damaged by their psychology.
That sour look on their faces is from bending over a litter box for too long…
Careful, this is Cat Lady territory. 😎
It’s ok to laugh at cat lady jokes!
When I sponsored 3 cats, I referred to myself as a “Crazy Cat Lady Dude”.
It is impossible to sponsor cats… Truth of the matter is that the cats were sponsoring you.
Don’t you know that cats have staff and dogs have owners? It’s true.
It appears that jjoy has never served cats…
On the contrary, Chris… I have had cats for my entire long life… That is how I know that they sponsor us. as opposed to us sponsoring them…
Cats are like Mules, not stubborn, not onery, just have a mind of their own and are too intelligent to put up with our bull shite…
Chapeau, jjoy.
My feline to servant ratio is now safely 1:1
🐈⬛😂
They are intelligent. The best cat of my life is 16 years old and knows what turns on the sink water. She rubs her head on the faucet handle knowing that when I turn it, she gets a drink.
My dogs do not knock things off of tables and shelves….
Dogs will if you get a big enough dog with a long enough tail because they are constantly wagging. It’s not on purpose though like cats do.
Chris “Crazy Cat Lady Dude” Hyde…. has a nice ring to it! 🤣
Hence, the 😎.
I love cats – but I am not of them.
HEY! I resent that comment. Oh, wait…sorry, it only takes me a few seconds to clean up after my boy.
They are constipated, frumpy, biatches that have never enjoyed a moment of life and worry about trying to control every inch of planet earth at all times. Absolute psychos.
Went on a date with some when I was younger and identified it very quickly and bailed. And of course they lashed out like the psychos they are even though I was very cordial and non confrontational. They couldn’t handle not being able to control me.
They have serious mental issues.
Yep .. and also look at photos from the BLM and ANTIFA protests conducted by the same liberals.
Crazy Cat Lady Disease:
Toxoplasmosis (tok-so-plaz-MOE-sis) is an infection with a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. People often get the infection from eating undercooked meat. You can also get it from contact with cat feces. The parasite can pass to a baby during pregnancy.

Couldn’t describe it better…..except the words bitter and hysterical and irrational also come to mind…..
I’m watching that movie today, “The Gauntlet,” with Clint Eastwood.
I thought that joke was hysterical and lol.
BUT….
It is a mistake not to understand what you are fighting against.
I live among these people. Most have kids. They are not stupid, in fact they are smart and successful. Most are in stable marriages, many very long term. Their husbands are liberal, but not true beta males.
Sure, there are many many that are what this joke encapsulates, and many are stupid purple hair freaks.
The one thing they all have in common is their complete and 100% inability to go against the tribe.
To understand and communicate with them, talk to them like you are talking to a 4 year old about Santa Claus or Spider-Man not being real. Or if more helpful, think of disagreeing with a freaky fanatical sports fan about a referee’s bad call.
It matters not what you say.
You are spot on. I worked with a bunch of these liberals and you can spew logic until the cows come home, but they know better and will let you know in no uncertain terms how very wrong you are.
The Barren Karen Harem
I’d have also accepted “The Barren Karen Coven”.
UGLY
Did they fly or take a bus from Brooklyn?
It’s one thing to say you won’t join a military action. That would have been fine and no one would have been upset. But Starmer denied America access to its own military bases after Americans funded Britain’s security for the past 85 years, bailed the country out in two world wars, and footed the bill for global security, including the protection of trade routes. What Starmer did is completely insane, and if anyone in London has even a semblance of sense left, they will get rid of this guy as soon as possible.

Who will replace him will be worse…if you can imagine.
Yeah, we’ve seen the Mayor of London.
Don’t forget the “mayor” of NYC…
He doesn’t sit in Parliament..yet…so is disqualified.
The influx of a cult is the problem!

If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”.
He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way.
Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama.
It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought.
He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM.
I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last.
But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump.
https://nitter.poast.org/AriFleischer/status/2030283552193958254#m
Obama was called ‘the great divider’ for a reason.
Sundance occasionally uses the term: “The Light Bringer”….of course, with the requisite ‘/s’.
Barry came to destroy.
Add steal and kill and that’s Biblical….John 10:10
The comments to Ari Fleischer’s editorial are sickening. It proves that there are many mentally ill people in our country.
They are “true believers” …. and they vote.
Most of the RINO Rs don’t want to “punch back and win”. They have no interest in winning and leading with America First policy–or any policy , for that matter. They are content to be the minority, make money and do their cushy jobs.
Conservatives are the working class! The other R’s are birds of a feather to Dems! UNIPARTY!
Working for a living causes you to develop conservative values — that is what follows the natural laws and what works. Grifting and laziness — the desire to get money or live off others with no work is the disease.
Thomas Sowell calls Socialism government sanctioned envy.
The desire for power joins the desire for money and turns to communism – Milton Friedman
When the Democrats win Republican’s don’t have to take responsibility for anything. That they don’t want to take responsibility for anything is also why they don’t get much of anything done when in power.
They actually “do” jobs?
Snow jobs!
I like Ari a lot – I’ve worked with him personallly over the years – but he’s wrong here. And we’ve talked about this before.
Despite what you make think of his presidency (I felt he was a very average president at the time), I think most of us can agree – look at the profile of the folks who have great disdain towards Obama and his family, and you’ll see obvious themes. It’s easy simply to ignore those people.
Why don’t you come out and say it?
“Anyone who doesn’t like Obama is a racist.”
There. I said it for you.
You make me ill.
Osama Obama was one of the biggest race hustlers and race-baiters in the history of our country…nothing more, nothing less. (And BTW, his mother was white so you can not say he is deeply loathed because he’s “black”)
🤮
Derp.
An effing KENYAN!
A person who is willing to publicly lie about their ethnicity is the worst kind of racist.
Obama was ashamed to be who he really was.
We are ashamed he was president.
Republicans should be more ashamed as to what we trotted out against him. McStain and Romney. Those two were RINO’s at best. Look what McStain did for Obamacare.
I never watched the kenyan speak. Not once. Knew from the get he was NFG.
Gracias Dios…..

The original Christians are long gone. And they would not have posted yesterday. Greco roman transplants of pagan stock illegally occupying Ofra are far from the originals.
Christianity is not an ethnicity.
Hard concept, I know.
Smotrich fan, are you? In favor of wiping practitioners of Christianity and every Christian Church from the Middle East?
Jesus is King.
Of the Orthodox Christian Palestinian people whom I have met, it became obvious, without their telling me so, that their families had been Baptized during the days of the Holy Apostles. They have passed down the Faith through the generations as the Way of Life. The same can be said for a number of Greek and Lebanese people whom I have met.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

I pray they get to see the “true Light” as that is the only way! The hatred of the evil is almost over-powering!
I don’t CURSE them, I avoid them. I don’t give them an opportunity to mess with me.
God never told us to love and forgive HIS enemies, only OURS.
My hatred for HIS enemies remains. But I do pray they turn to the side of Jesus Christ. But in their current form, I genuinely hate many of them.
Has this concerning WSJ article, published Friday evening, been verified? It states Lindsey Graham claims he convinced Trump to bomb Iran.
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/lindsey-graham-trump-iran-fa5f54f0
Kind of like Bannon claiming Bannon is MAGA, not Trump.
Of course Miss Graham has been lobbying President Trump. The heir of John McNasty is blood thirsty.
But the truth of what convinced Trump can only be learned from Trump.
Oh, I’m sure with all the advisors, administration, etc. that President Trump listens only to Graham. Anyone who’s been on the Trump train for any length time knows that Trump does what Trump believes is best. He may listen but the final choice is his.
Largest Tunnels of Iran Have Been Collapsed! 300,000 Iranian Troops STRANDED Helplessly!
Interesting, but collapsed entrances are not collapsed tunnels.
They talk about similar collapses from Israel’s strikes a year ago, some of which were reopened since.
Mismatch in planning means after we finish in 4 weeks, Iran digs out missiles in 8 months and begins shooting again. So war won’t end without forcing them to accept loss.
Also, if you plan to fight 5 years from underground facilities, shouldn’t you plan on surviving 5 years underground? Food, fuel, etc should all be stockpiled.
Maybe. but toxic gas can kill them…
Even if they all die, the mullahs wouldn’t care if they can still use the missiles.
‘Food, fuel, etc should all be stockpiled.’
Etc includes HBO Max, rose water bowls, and virgins aplenty.
Thank You for the sound logic.
This video makes way too many assumptions.
We have no idea how many people are underground
We have no idea how many access points there are to each tunnel system
We have no idea what they have stockpiled there for a long war
We have no idea what medical capabilities they have underground
We have no idea what their true total missile stock is
This video is speculative and full or bluster
That being said, the main point is true, Irans strategic plan has taken a punch in the face, and now it needs a new one
These mullahs have been in power for 47 years, because no one would take them on. But, they are not invincible.
I didn’t watch the whole video but what I did view didn’t prove anything imo. A lot of AI generated content and has anyone confirmed from the ground? Palestinian tunnels were vast, with different exits and running for miles. They weren’t completely destroyed or all uncovered. With the amount of money Obama and Biden provided and the amount they made from oil etc…they had a much larger chance of building so many more tunnels in a much larger area.

Be exceptional careful about the sharing of stories on the war – there is far more propaganda then truth.
An example of a VERY heavily shared video…
The same is true with the “flowing rivers of fire” videos…

“The Fog of War.” You should presume that everything you see and hear is “propaganda.” Fake News.
Yes.
Another example of such was a statement sourced to an Israeli official that the UAE had attacked Iran. The UAE has called it a blatant lie, along with a lengthy statement that they have only directly defended themselves (i.e. shot down drones and missiles targeting them).
The only things flying in greater quantities than the drones and missiles and bombs is the propaganda…
Yup, especially the ones coming from the click bait crowd.
grok is full of shit. that ain’t skirball. does that look like ANY offramp you’ve seen in America?
Yes – and you can go compare the video yourself…
I’ve driven through the Sepulveda pass literally hundreds of times. That ain’t Skirball. Not even close.
That’s what I call clickbait.
Bull!!!! Sheeeeeeet.
The Holy Trinity is at the heart of a healthy Western Civilization when its Christians are genuinely Christo-centric in their daily lives.

Good morning America, how are ya?
35 and mostly cloudy in Kankakee…
Good morning! Same here in the Colorado Rockies, 35 degrees overnight but thankfully we’ve just received snow! The south and east USA somehow took our winter and we’ve been asking for them to send it back as we’ve had almost none.
Wow! Is that your view???
How beautiful!!!
Later this week, we are going to get more snow…
My favorites…omgitswicks…
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ql2MvDHtxlo
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2sE5zsEneZk
Loved these! However next time I would just suggest he UPS winter back here where it belongs, high and comfortable in the mountains. Yes, btw that’s my view – about 40 miles when the clouds are behaving.
Priceless!
We’ve obliged and sent it back to you. Having spring now in NE Georgia. Lovin’ it.
Balmy summer weather here in the land of Ice and snow other wise known and minnesomalia , going for a high of 60. But not to worry winter returns on a Siberian train bring our temps back to typical highs with snow in a few days. Of course the balmy temps will be brought by some strong winds forecast. Will see if it happens as planned.
Aggiegirl! Rain!
needed it!
Greetings Aggiegirl!
About the same here in northwestern Ohio!
Did I mention that I hate, loathe, despise, and detest Daylight Crazy Time?
To paraphrase Chief Dan George: Only a white man would think that, if he changes his clock, he has somehow saved the time of the universe.
Anyway, let me offer this for your halfway-through-Lent meditation:
The Seven Last Statements of Christ * by French composer Theodore Dubois, sung in Latin by a Korean Catholic Choir accompanied by a symphony orchestra!
Part I
Part II
The text and score:
* Mistranslated as The Seven Last
Wordsof Christ: there are many more than 7 words in the text!My body knows what time it is, I don’t need a clock.
The clock did not change the time I needed to go up to go pee.
Yes, pee o’clock never changes.
So true!
We have a communist government here in British Columbia, a government many loathe.
That said, this daylight savings change, will be our last.
After decades of suggesting it would be eradicated a British Columbian government has finally done so.
All be it because an election is on the horizon.
Cheers!
I agree 100%. If Congress can’t agree on whether to leave it daylight savings or natural, I say we meet halfway and keep it year round at the middle mark 30! Of course they quit trying to end it, screwing up our natural clock!
Mexico trashed daylight change scheme 2 years ago. Maybe 3. Much better life.
That was one of the best things about Arizona ! No time change! (Except the Rez)
Good morning. About the same due south a bit.
Good Morning. 35 degrees in N Minnesota and heading towards 50 this afternoon. Ice on the lake is 30 inches thick and the fish are biting.
I sprang and I sprung,
saw where God hung the sun,
Then I bounced and I pounced,
Upon my java, 16 ounce!
My dad used to say, “Spring has sprung, the grass has ris, I wonder where the posies is?”
Love yours!

First you have to understand the history behind what is taking place. You’ll see the British Empire’s fingerprints behind it all and it will make sense as to why England is not only taking a seat, they are drumming up an oil crisis as well.
I’ve been reading about Britain’s complaints that they don’t have any military left to support even if they tried.
Some Empire. Iran had a much bigger Navy.
About the only Empire remnant left is the financial and insurance. And they just blew up the Insurance power. Trump took it out with his own insurance promises and military escorts.
Colonies gone. Even the big ones are independent. Australia, Canada, New Zealand are no longer part of Empire. Just some lingering fealty to embarrassing poweless monarchs.
Churchill schemed for Empirical power as we fought WW2. But it is all gone now.
Britain has degenerated to an EU satrapy that can’t break free.
Get with the times. Britain still had some power left under Thatcher. But now there is none.
You be right.
There power hasn’t been their military for several hundred years…but their ways are Machiavellian and their power is manipulation Jim – and it has nothing to do with their public facing government or only those within their borders.
A portion of the truth…
https://old.bitchute.com/video/TNff1b7otLJz/
British Empire, Commonwealth of Nations, Milner Group, Chatham House, CFR….it matters not the name. What remains unchanged is their bloodthirst for money, power, and the desire for a world federation.
And long ago, there were “The Crusades”……..
KC3 is asshoe
England was great until 1066.
927-1066
Those were the days.
My name comes from French Courtyards, so my ancestors were likely part of the problem back in 1066. But not high enough to actually be let into the castle.
morning Treepers…………be well
bjorkdream, this really brings back some wonderful camping memories.
Hope you have a fine day.
Good morning bjorkdream. 🙏❤️
Another Lefty has been!
It is really something watching them drive themselves off the cliff.
The hefty version of Gollum. He must have had the shot and all the boosters. Lefty brains were irrepairably damaged.
Another negative for AI:
“Crapuchettes warns that an invisible layoff is occurring as artificial intelligence algorithms effectively delete qualified American workers from the applicant pool, creating a massive disconnect that he says is fueling the jump to a 4.4% unemployment rate and short-term economic “pain.”
“”[Companies] are using AI effectively and therefore the worker productivity is up… part of what AI is doing is it’s driving a lot of worker productivity. Businesses don’t need to hire as quickly or they’re letting people off. …”
The globalists want our money but don’t want us to have any money via employment (by them)…they cannot have it both ways.

It has been that way with every technological change. Remember the Luddites*? Imagine what artisans thought about the assembly line? I remember when computers were going to put the fine paper industry out of business because no one would use hard copy anymore. LOL
Technology starts by reducing jobs but eventually usually creates even more jobs. Jobs will change, middle management is going to shrink. But other and new occupations will eventually replace them. It all takes time.
*The Luddites were a group of English textile workers in the early 19th century who protested against the introduction of automated machinery, fearing it would threaten their jobs and livelihoods. They often resorted to destroying machines in organized raids as a form of protest against poor working conditions and wage reductions.
Yep .. while here in the US there was that fascinating introduction of Eli Whitney (of Cotton Gin fame) called the “assembly line” and “standardization” that closed down many smaller “hand made shops” and also removed laborers from larger manufacturing businesses.
That innovation was at the heart of the US Industrial Revolution.
Technological and Innovative Advances are the unfortunate, yet fortunate, necessities found throughout the evolution of man from very ancient times.
It is arguable whether technology has actually improved the way we live our lives. Just food for thought.
Seriously?
When is the last time something tried to eat you?
And why has life expectancy increased over the decades? Advances also led to the 40 hour week. Remember people worked 10-12 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week at one time. I’m not saying every advancement had been great for us but many have been good for people.
Symbolism that was raised on a random YouTube video from a Chinese political commenter :
Khamenei became the leader of Iran on June 4th 1989. He was “invincible” but is now gone.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei
The CCP military attacked their own citizens in the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4th 1989. They consider themselves “invincible”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre
Iranian media, both pro and anti government, report that the Assembly of Experts has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei as the next supreme leader. However, there has been no official confirmation yet, and some reports say the body has selected a successor but has not publicly announced the name. There were also reports that Mojtaba has recently been injured. Fog of war…

If Paxton drops out due to some deal over the SAVE act, I will still be writing his name in out of protest over Cornyn.
Deal or not, if President Trump endorses cornyn instead of Ken Paxton, who has supported Trump to the hilt, it just may cost him the mid-term “elections” ’cause Texas hates cornyn…
Bannon has warned PT several times about Texan views on Cornyn. Bannon has been in the thick of out running show out of Texas in an effort to get the vote out over Muslim laws and Vote Paxton. Bannon is afraid TX will not support cornyn no matter …they just wont come out and vote. Senate sure is our turd n the punch bowl. PT is going to have to figure out how to deal with them. I may be completely out of the loop but it seems to me PT has leverage when it comes to the FISA renewal in April.
Remember, if Trump says he will endorse him, he didn’t say we would vote for him. Get it!!!
Someone posted here that writing Paxton in won’t work because there is some TX rule about failed candidates and their names not being counted if written in.
So, unless you want Tallarico to win, you might want to reconsider your plan.
JMO
Cornyn is gone either way.
If Corny doesn’t help pass Save Act, PDJT will not back him and Paxton wins.
If Paxton drops out, Cornyn will lose the next election without fraud voting for help. Paxton a possible AG to replace Bondi.
One can dream….The Senate would be petrified of Paxton. Maybe Paxton for Special Council or some similar position.
I assume I will do what I have done in the past, if Cornyn is listed on the general election, I will not push a button but will skip to the next section. If no one is listed that I think will represent me, I will not vote for them. I would be honored to vote for Ken Paxton.
Thanks Cactus – keep reminding people.
Wisconsin has a big one too but supposedly non partisan. Supreme Court justice. The liberal judge has 6-10 commercials a day on the channels I watch about 90% of them mudslinging and lies about the conservative candidate. I have seen just one commercial for the conservative candidate this whole election season. Remember the liberals stole a Supreme court seat in the 2020 election cheating and got another one in the last election. If the liberal wins Wisconsin will become another Minnesota.
JMO.
President Trump is on the move to remove the most dangerous threat to our Constitutional Republic and Constitution, the 2026 fraudulent elections in all states ……with special attention to the blue states / cities.
Passing the SAVE ACT in addition to removing the computers involved in the election process at the local level will toll the knell for the globalist / communist election fraudsters.
President Trump, The Executive Branch, has the constitutional responsibility and authority to insure that local elections are free of fraud at the local level and free of involvement from foreign agents.
Blue states / cities are not independent entities. At their origin are the charters issued by “we the people”. “We the people” gave them their charters. We can take back and reissue the charters to insure honest and fair elections for the Americans in those states.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Two queries about the “Save Act”:
1.) Does the Save Act forbid the use of voting machines by the States?
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the US Constitution states that the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”
This says that state legislatures have primary authority to regulate federal elections conducted within their borders.
This brings to mind the following query:
2.) Isn’t it very possible, and in fact very probable, that the SOCTUS will declare the “Save Act” null and void?
You left off the last part of Article I, Clause 1 … “… ;but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except for the Places of chusing Senators.”
The answer to your question is NO.
That is the reason the the opponents are claiming that the Save Act is a denial of rights to voters defined within the Bill of Rights.
Not to the spelling enthusiasts out there … the word “chusing” is the original spelling from 1787.
I purposely omitted the last part of Article I, Clause 1: “the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except for the Places of chusing Senators.” because it is irrelevant to the question that would be before the SCOTUS…
The “Save Act” would have already been passed by Congress and signed in to law by the President; the last part of Article 1 would not be in contention before the court.
By your own words: “the reason the the opponents are claiming that the Save Act is a denial of rights to voters” would be the issue before the court, not whether or not the congress has the authority to pass bills to alter the voting requirements of the US Constitution…
You seem to be a somewhat intelligent person, although your knowledge of legal matters is questionable at times, but, surely you will admit that the present makeup of the SCOTUS has tunnel-vision, and only considers very narrow questions for adjudication, which supports my point that the passing of the Save Act into law would not be the issue before the court.
I also see that you failed to answer my other query re: if the Save Act addresses the use of fraudulent voting machines by the States, so I will answer it for you:
No, the Save Act does not outlaw the use of the fraudulent voting machines… As a consequence, 28 States will continue to use the fraudulent machines to count our votes, and in fact, several of those states have purchased or leased new “fraudulent voting machines” or have signed extension contracts with the machine makers.
That is for State Reps… not the Federal elections which Federal Law trumps?
Each State has a Constitution modeled after the US Constitution. The US Constitution guarantees that each State will have a Republican form of Government. If the States are making up their own “rules” like Colorado does and California does and Minnesota does. The Federal Government may have to step in because a Governor cannot change the form of Government in a State to a Dictatorship even with the help of an illegally elected Legislature.
The rolls are a major issue….fake ballots produced for people that dont exist sent via mail in ballots. Save Act better be very specific about Vote ID. Many illegals got SS# and a drivers license. Birth Certificate plus photo ID?

IRAN’S “NINE LIVES” GENERAL, ESMAIL QAANI
For months, IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani has been jokingly accused online of being an Israeli spy. Why? Because somehow he kept surviving while senior commanders around him were killed. But was it just satire… or something more? Here’s the story.
The running joke After a series of devastating Israeli strikes killed senior Iranian and Hezbollah leaders, one figure kept appearing alive afterward: Esmail Qaani. Online commentators began sarcastically calling him “Israel’s best asset in Tehran.”

Well, which breeds are left? (Allowed…)
Maybe muzzies haven’t heard of mine; Shiba Inu, not on the list.
Much easier to ban politicians, they are far more dangerous than any dog.
Because they are “unclean” to Muslims . . . who are now running the place.
This is a re-post of an article from a few days ago and the real answer remains the same … read the article and is clear this goes beyond offending Muslims.
The law does not ban dog breeds by name but seeks to “protect” dogs from dangerous and health as well as life threatening breeding programs … deemed to be inhumane practices.
This is a purposely set precedence for extending this use of this legal logic to “control” … i.e. Ban Raising Pork, Ban raising Cattle, ban any form of cross breeding plants, etc. (Eat the damn bugs) … then there is ban human reproduction between selected races.
How bout banning incest.
Anyone that enters The United States of America without authorization is an Invader.
Anyone that gives material support to an Invader of The United States of America is a Traitor and must be dismissed from any position of authority and prosecuted to the fullest extent of LAW.
What is the difference between a Home Invader and a Country Invader?
If I come home and someone uninvited is peacefully sitting on my couch they are still an invader and police will be called to remove them. If I at any moment believe they are presenting a danger, the police will be collecting a corpse.
I think the parallels between home invasion and country invasion are 100%..
what does this mean?

KICKING OFF – TRUMP / STARMER EXACT MOMENT HE WAS HAPPY TO AXE – NOW KING LEFT WITH THIS MESS
Now Starmer wants KC3 to salvage the relationship
I can just imagine the UK Government’s dismay once they saw THIS U.S. military in action.
Realizing what a magnificent military power they assumed was weakened by forever wars was alive and well, knowing they turned their back on such a powerful ally, must have been gut wrenching for Reform and Restore parties.
President Trump has a long memory and he usually gets payback no matter how long it takes. He knows he has barely three years to set things straight.
JMO but getting PT in 2028 for a consecutive term to finish the job is as imperative as the Save Act in saving whats left of our Republic and actually MAGA. As of this date I do not see anyone coming close to PT’s abilities. A far second on Foreign policy would be Rubio but how would he fare in the actual planning of the World reset? If not given the choice of PT then I would vote Rubio and hope and pray. The Deep State is gonna eat them alive…..Lets hope that Truth has no agenda …wins the day.
It’s unsalvageable…Great Britain has never been a real friend or ally.

How Hobbs further hurts AZ on gas prices.
March 3, 2026
“Highs Prices Don’t Offend Hobbs ”
There have been solutions offered to address gas price volatility and our dependency on California fuel, yet Governor Hobbs has resisted or vetoed every meaningful effort to expand Arizona’s fuel flexibility. During the 2023 price spike, when Phoenix drivers were paying among the highest prices in the nation, lawmakers and industry urged her to quickly pursue an EPA waiver to expand supply options. Instead, she delayed, until all the extra costs had already been borne by drivers.
In 2024, Governor Hobbs sent a sternly-worded letter to Governor Gavin Newsom to express concern about the potential impact of California’s SB 950, legislation that imposed even more onerous oversight on refineries, warning that further pressure on California refiners could harm Arizona drivers. But predictably, this letter had absolutely no effect on the pain at the pump for Arizonans.
Governor Hobbs’ failure to address the crisis has spurred Republican lawmakers into action. Over the last two years, GOP leadership at the legislature has introduced several bills to reduce regulations and increase fuel capacity. This session alone three bills are moving that would provide relief at the pump:
HB2955 – creates a mechanism to temporarily broaden allowable fuel formulations during supply disruptions.
HB2145– allows additional state officials to petition the EPA for emergency waivers.
HB2014 – requires evaluation of alternative blends to expand Arizona’s supplier base.
By contrast, zero solutions have been offered up by Hobbs and the Democrats.
This inaction in the face of recurring price spikes in 2022, 2023, and 2024, provides little hope that Hobbs’ apathy will fade regarding even greater looming spikes for Arizonans in prospective years.
AZ Free Enterprise is source.
It’s a ‘special’ place.
Cartel-Kati Hobbs was installed, as are all the uniparty-tools at all levels here going way back… so there’s that.
She/they/them/et al 100% does what she’s told –
not one extraneous syllable uttered, not one miniscule fart released; SOP.
In other news…
Her total silence on the Guthrie kidnapping, on her watch, has been deafening.
Imagine that; why is a “mystery” (winkwink).
Trump has chosen to cut the water supply & take out the international roots of the cartels first… he’s apparently saving the chore of sending local branches in bulk through the woodchipper for the final stage of ‘home-remodeling/renovation-&-clean-up’ process.
He’s a highly astute & capable builder – he knows infrastructure *always must* come in complete before the final landscaping.
Hacking at the branches while the roots still thrive would be a schoolboy error and he’s well beyond that; he is a School-Master who writes curriculums.
He’s building hemispheric infrastructure for new & Truly Beautiful & flourishing landscapes, for all neighborhoods in the entire West – *because he can, he enjoys it, and he wants Humans to have Peace & Prosperity*.
Organized crime is being taken apart at the seams; disintegrated.
Hence…
Venezuela > Ecuador > the Shield of Americas Summit and the implementation of The Americas’ Counter Cartel Coalition ACCC …
(POTUS’ quote: “… We’ll help you, just tell us where they are….” while literal “Epic Fury” rains down on another category of similarly murderous inhumane thugs in the next-subdivision-East as a demonstration of ‘can-do’ & resolve to ‘make way for building new infrastructure’) > Next for March, April, May > etc….

Wartime Pro-Tip –
one saves a lot of $$$ AND ‘aggravation-tax’ by, just temporarily, not driving anywhere one is not required to go; one saves both gasoline costs AND entrance fees (i.e. how many shops/stores/businesses does one casually go into that one leaves from empty-handed? That’s an ‘entrance fee’, imo); one also saves a great deal of Peace-of-Mind.
Cartel has been an element-at-war-with-Humanity for much longer than the 29 years (come Aug.) I’ve lived in AZ = my wartime experience.
God sent me an “expose yourself = you get sandblasted” experiential lesson (besides the in-house scorpions) – in my first week here – it was duly noted & that awareness has served.
“Staying frosty” in the ambient heat of AZ requires dynamic attitude enhancements… so it’s a good time to raise your standards for self-fortification all around; as I suppose applies to all of us/US everywhere in fact.
I should leave this here – re: the media narrative…
“… The media’s deception begins with mischaracterizing the strike on the Tondgouyan refinery. The New York Times unhelpfully referred to it only as a “domestic facility” and part of Iran’s “energy infrastructure,” completely omitting the critical context that the major oil refinery and storage tanks located right outside the capital city were there for a reason. Tondgouyan was the IRGC’s key military fuel depot and ammunition dump.
…
Far from being just another Middle East army, the IRGC runs oil, banking, telecom, agriculture, real estate, transportation, shipping, and even Tehran’s international airport through its network of front groups and wholly owned subsidiaries. It’s less of a military force and more of a Fortune 500 company with a rocket division. Like a Walmart with tanks.
…
The IRGC shipped about 85,000 barrels a day to Syria, and sells the rest mostly to China through a so-called “shadow fleet” designed to avoid sanctions. By blowing up the IRGC’s own refinery, Trump wasn’t just hurting “Iran” in a general sense— he was trying to bankrupt the IRGC specifically, by collapsing its parallel economy.
Many folks are deeply confused about the significance of yesterday’s refinery strike. It didn’t damage Iran’s ability to export oil, since the refinery strike on Tondgouyan didn’t affect the country’s export facilities like Kharg Island (more on that in a moment).
It was a refinery for domestic fuel. Hitting Tondgouyan hit the IRGC’s ability to keep its trucks and war machinery running, and undermined the regime’s social compact— selling fuel to its own population.
It was a precision strike on the IRGC’s economic oxygen, not reckless chaos. And it did not degrade Iran’s oil export capability, even though that’s what the useless Times hopes to trick everyone into believing.
…
In short, Secretary Bessent granted India a 30-day waiver of sanctions on Russian oil. Now it can buy cheap oil from Moscow’s fleet, millions of gallons of which just happen to be bobbing around the oceans, ready for delivery.
In one stroke of a Treasury pen, Russia gets its revenue back, global prices stabilize, and Iran’s leverage —“you can’t touch our oil without wrecking the world economy”— evaporates.
…”
so much more filling the blanks here

Apparently the Iranian military – for some reason – lobbed missiles or sent drones to attack Azerbaijan, of all places!
Azerbaijan has a 90% Islamic population, and the majority are Shia, as in Iran.
Azerbaijan, however, practices Religious Toleration, allowing Christians and Jews to practice their religions.
So, is that why the Iranian military attacked Azerbaijan?
There is also a claim that it was an Israeli “false flag ” operation to draw Azerbaijan into a northern front against Iran.
Any thoughts?
See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iranian_strikes_on_Azerbaijan
Well, I tend to go with Iran trying to make Israel look bad rather than the other way round. No one else needs to attack Iran, its falling quickly.
Azerbaijan has a great military relationship with Israel, go figure.
Azerbaijan also had goo relationship with Iran, i guess no more
Thoughts:
The levels of propaganda are off the charts.
Azerbaijan is friendly with both Israel and Europe (Macron visiting today).
Iran has attacked almost all of their major Islamic neighbors – with the predominate theory being one of a scorched earth policy, to make such a mess – particularly with oil supplies and transit paths (both air and sea) that it causes pressure to end the conflict while they (IRGC and Iranian Islamists) still survive.
It doesn’t matter if it was a false flag or not.
Azerbaijan closed the border and shut down the main north south supply chain into Iran because of the attack. Thousands of trucks are stranded and no supplies are getting into Iran.
Our Arab allies have the capability to know where a missile is launched from. For it to be an Israeli false flag, the Arab nations would have to be a willing party to the conspiracy
Dodgson, not Dodgy. Stupid auto correct.
Though I kinda like it
Iran sees Azerbaijan as an invasion threat so preemptive strike?
Kurds are massing on northwestern Iran border.
The headlines in the media today answer your question … the attacks on Muslim nations had nothing to do with religion but was the start of a 3-Step Political process for media consumption-use and use by President Trumps political opponents.
Step 1: Attack
Step 2: Apologize and blame President Trump
In today’s media headlines:
Step 3: Announce Iran will stop attacking those supporting the US
It is that simple and effective as 100% of media is not a friend President Trump … and will support political opponents of president Trump with media coverage.
Virtue signaling tribal warfare. When they aren’t killing non Muslims they’re killing each other. Any excuse to intimidate, conquer or kill a perceived “heretic”. It’s like rabies.
The Great Reset
has already happened.

I imagine Sundance is going to say a little something today regarding James Woods’ defection from the Republican Party.
I call BS on his announcement. He’ll vote straight-ticket Republican during the midterms.
He did quit his affiliation with the Republican Party. He is a registered Independent now, even though he may still vote for Republicans
Leaving the republican party doesn’t mean you’re leaving your conservative values or MAGA. Republican is a party, not a way of life. I left a long time ago, went unaffiliated so I’d not be tied to any independent running but I still am very much a strong voter for MAGA and conservative. Someone once told me I couldn’t be one and not the other but I beg to differ. My views are my own and no party is going to run my life.
Yes, I understand fully. I certainly agree with James: the Republican Party sucks. It seems our entire corrupt governmental system is unfixable. Superseding these two parties seems impossible.
I am glad someone has called them what they are…UniParty traitors. I deregistered from the republiCON party after the 24 election and will reregister before the primary. The “r” side of the UniParty is just as bad as the communist dems.
I agree withhim,
“James Woods
@RealJamesWoods
Let’s get my position on the Republican Party crystal clear.
I’ve been a registered Republican since Bill Clinton turned the Oval Office into his own personal brothel.
Now that Senate Majority John Thune refuses to protect election integrity, I am disgusted with my party.
I will NEVER vote for a Democrat in my life, but the RINO elements destroying the Republican party are a disgrace.
I am a devout follower of President Trump, and as a registered Independent will continue to vote with Republicans when they stand behind this great President and act like Republicans again.
Democrats, the ragtag band of con artists and grifters that they are, manage to work together in lockstep, but getting Republicans to accomplish anything is like herding cats.
It’s absolutely infuriating.”
And here’s the link to his now pinned tweet:

Yes, and he also said:
“… he clearly feels that he is a President right now that is almost unlimited in his power & he feels that he can do no wrong…”;
*not* a flattering OPINION-only (mis) characterization… he couldn’t resist neutralizing the ‘unprecedented availability’ complement with passive-agressive ham-fisted fore & aft stabs;
because he’s still just a pathetic anti-American usurpers’ waterboy.
Trump doesn’t “promote failures upwards”… ever… Noem was not “fired”…
he promoted Noem to an international development position from a national leadership position… and that needs to be corrected *every single time* the mischaracterization is proffered as factual by his haters.
Like her or don’t, approve of her extracurricular activities or don’t, he obviously demonstrated both exquisite timing and Trust by assigning her a major position – Rubio’s right hand in this project it seems – in a fledgling international coalition. (As always… we’ll see what happens.)
That doesn’t look like a ‘firing’ to me. But… I guess it’s fine if the uniparty/dims do consider it a firing – they won’t be able to complain he did NOT fire her for her ‘infractions’.
Every richly deserved accolade grudgingly painfully acknowledged by a usurpers’ minion… more rare than leap-years… is bookended by lying-trash-talk of other things he’s accomplished &/or is working on.
Thank You Jesus I don’t have to live mentally trapped on that level of life.
Hollywood Legend James Woods Leaves Republican Party: “I am Done”
FTA – Woods specifically cited the controversy surrounding Rep. Nancy Mace’s effort to subpoena immigration records connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar, an effort that reportedly failed to gain support from fellow Republicans.
“Between this and Thune’s refusal to pass the SAVE Act, I’m done with these uniparty traitors,” Woods wrote.
“I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent. No wonder President Trump is fighting an uphill battle every day,”

It’s not the first time that the CIA has used music as a vehicle for cultural marxism. Billy Corgan is from the 90’s band “Smashing Pumpkins”.
I would gather the CIA run Council On Foreign Relations managed Media is in the Music industry and has been though this is not as well known as the CFR’s control of Congress, Corporations, Presidential administrations, bureaucracies, and their fake news media. The CFR picked much puppet Obama’s cabinet as Wikileaks revealed.

Good morning friend.
I have no doubt the sudden ascension of rap was yet another extention of social engineering by the insidious hate the USA crowd.
How these parasites got so deeply embedded at the levers of power must be continually exposed.
Academic tenure. Academia is completely anti-American and Government (taxpayer) funded and Chinese funded too.
This is so true. However amazed we may be at what PDJT has done so far, getting rid of the barbarians inside the gate is our most important task.

James Woods leaves the republican party to become an Independent. Welcome to the party pal.
I dumped the republican party in the early 2000’s when ted kennedy stood on the capital steps and screeched out Quagmire!!!!!!, backstabbing our troops that were in a hot war and then the republicans put their tail between their legs and pissed their pants. Since then, the republican party has not earned back my support. Unfortunately they do get my vote because the alternative is the democrats get power and I will always vote against the democrats. I am right where they want me to be and that angers me.
In my humble opinion, the republican party can not be made to represent the America First, MAGA base. President Trump has tried, the Tea Party has tried, MAGA is trying but it seems that the GOPe is too well entrenched in the system, too well schooled and experienced in deceit and manipulation and controls too many strings.
James Woods has opened his eyes, so again, welcome to the party pal.
Whie all states might not have this, if you go independent and a person runs as such, you have to vote for them in the primary. However, if your state does unaffiliated, you just simply state what party you want to vote in.
I’m in Oregon, the democrats control this state. For me to have a voice in this state I would have to change my registration to a democrat and vote for the least crazy commie that’s on the mail-in ballot and let their ballot counting machines decide who and what I voted for. I can not ever see myself voting for a democrat and so I will not play that game.
If you could see the type of republicans that run for office here, you would puke. No personality, no message, no effective campaigning, no fighting instincts, just pure GOPe types.
There was a guy in NJ in the 90’s who had the great idea of challenging the Democrat candidate for a Federal House seat’s signatures and the Judge found he did not have the number needed and he was tossed making the Populist the Democrat candidate for that district. Then the Hegelian Dialectic was revealed as the people who control both parties in NJ with ‘money’ ordered their Bush republican (GOPe) to help their puppet Democrats in ousting the Populist. They even bused in marxist indoctrinated Rutgers ‘students’ to protest him and of course the CIA run fake news media Alinsky’d him. The GOPe ended up helping to give that seat to their friends the Democrats.
I’ve long advised Populists to do the same thing, starting from town council, county/State/Federal.
There was even a group of Hispanic Democrats who got together to challenge the fake establishment Democrats for a gimmegrant taken over NJ city which caused the establishment panic and desperation so they had fake campaign theft and other bs thrown at them to have them removed from the ballot. Shades of what was done to Pauline Hanson in Australia.
I’m not crazy about republicans either. Fact is, MAGA is the guide to choice simple because of President Trump.
In Texas … when you enter the polling place … you are asked to show your ID and sign a statement essentially verifying your place of residence.
Then you’re asked, “which party’s primary you wish to support?”
The poll worker hands you the appropriate ballot and you sign for the ballot.
Bottom line … if your ID passes muster … it does not matter which party your “voter registration” card says you belong.
I suspect this is the case in the majority of RED and BLUE states.
The interesting part is that there was a proposed “TX Constitutional Amendment”, on the Republican ballots, in 2024 that would have the TX REPUBLICANS propose a CLOSED PRIMARIES amendment to the TX Consitution. The TX RNC, which supposedly controls the TX Legislature, never published the results of voting for that measure.
Here in my state you have to be an unaffiliated to do that.
If you think about it the republican party isn’t trying to conserve our way of life and the democrats use the poor for their gain but keep the poor as such always in need of assistance.
Understand and interesting … yet the “unaffiliated” category concept is a state matter.
Just providing another view from a different voting system.
In TX the poll workers do not ask to see our voter registration cards and have to go on what ever is in the DMV Data base, if one uses a drivers license as your ID.
So, how does the poll workers, in your state, know your voter registration selection (i.e. that your are D, R, Ind or unaffiliated) when you enter the polls??
Simply put, the Uni-party/globalist asshats want to hand power back to the Dems. The Dems will hold no quarter and go scorched earth on any and all MAGA. You think what they did to J6’ers was bad? Just wait…
Democrats love it when Republicans drop their party to become Independents.
So do the RINOs. It is stupid. The Republican party is the party of Lincoln and has a legacy to be proud of.
In over 50 years of voting I can’t think of a single thing that the republicans have initiated legislatively that represented or made my blue collar life any better. Any legislation that made it thru was by force, coercion as a pack mule for earmarks and not because they actually did it for the forgotten man.
The only thing the republicans have accomplished is to be a speed bump to the democrats turning this country into a socialist controlled and I mean completely controlled from cradle to grave nation.
If you can separate the wheat from the chaff its a great read on the CFR “Plutocracy”. The Council On Foreign Relations hates any Populist-America First like Goldwater, Buchanan,Paul, and of course President Donald J Trump. They are internationalist-Globalists who despise Heritage America and Heritage Americans and want to destroy us.

Can anyone give me a rational explanation as to why “Judge” Napalitano has a show on NewsMax? He offends me with every word he says.
try go to ….MADC*W of MSNBC…what happen…….
NewsMax has Fox News envy.
Clinton’s fellow Council On Foreign Relations buddy Speaker NAFTA Newt made sure to cover this up and deflect with the Lewinsky Impeachment psyop instead of impeaching for high treason and election theft. This would have broke the Clinton Admin and crippled the Democrat traitor party for decades, except the UNiparty (CFR) traitors saved them.
“Among other huge benefits for the Chinese regime, the Clinton administration decided, after receiving the money, to overturn a State Department policy classifying satellites as munitions. Clinton’s action made it easier for the regime to acquire the satellites needed to launch rockets. And more than a few lawmakers suspected that Clinton’s actions helped Beijing and its totalitarian allies to develop nuclear missiles, too.”

How Bill Clinton and American Financiers Armed China
https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/how-bill-clinton-and-american-financiers
“When Chinese representatives went to Columbus, Ohio, workers wouldn’t let them see the tools, because workers realized that they would lose their jobs if the tools were sold to the Chinese. The Chinese then sent a letter to the corporation saying that the deal for the Trunkliners was at a stalemate, but if the machine tools were sold to a mysterious Chinese company, well, that would have a “big influence” on whether McDonnell Douglas could close the deal on the planes.
It wasn’t just the workers who caused problems. The government could have been a hurdle for McDonnell Douglas as well, because these weren’t just any old machine tools. “According to military experts,” reported the New York Times, “the machines would enable the Chinese military to improve significantly the performance abilities — speed, range and maneuverability — of their aircraft. And if diverted, they could do the same for missiles and bombers.” Selling the tools wasn’t just a commercial deal, the machining equipment was subject to export controls for sensitive national security technology.”
😄😅😂🤣
I have had serious questions about all the crap I have had to buy from China because we no longer make the stuff here. Buying American is not easy any longer.

False charges to stop her? They did that to Pauline Hanson the Australian Populist, their version of Pat Buchanan/President Donald J Trump. .

“Hulda Clark said she doesn\’t plan to let a criminal prosecution slow her effort to learn about the causes and cures of cancer and to publish what she finds.”I\’ll be 71 next week,” she said, “and I\’d like to spend the rest of my working days doing my research.”
Was Clark’s research the real reason Ivermectin was demonized, dismissed, and ridiculed for curing Covid 1984 because it also was effective against Cancer? Why would a trillion dollar racket want to end their games and destroy their looting op?
Reporters: “Mr. President, could you lay out the conditions that would prompt you to put boots on the ground in Iran, what their objectives might be and how many troops that might entail? And while you’re at it, do you have a date in mind when you might be sending them in?”

Fake news.
Its Congressional theater and thanks to PDJT millions and millions more know this. The uniparty has been a bigger obstacle to a Populist America First Agenda than their fake enemy KKK Democrats.

These are the members of Congress who voted against disclosing sexual harassment claims

There seems to be an underlying assumption that women in Congress are not themselves offenders. Lose all assumptions of innocence when it comes to politicians.
you can apply that to the population as a whole. The feminazis have always said that there are basically no evil or bad women, only women that have been damaged or abused by men that become “bad” afterwards. Men make women behave badly………it’s the garden of eden in reverse. You would be shocked at the number of women of all political persuasions that believe crap like that. It’s a self-serving fairy tale.
Evil and wickedness are an equal opportunity thing. There are just as many evil, wicked, perverse women as there are men.
The Trouble Today With Women (The Mouth Don’t Stop)
Awwww, com’on Charles… surely you know that men always cause the good girls to go wrong…
I think if we put some focus on sexual deviance of women congresspersons, we would be shocked at what we find.
I reckon that most of these 78″ladies” (and I use that term loosly) have made use of the congressional sexual-coverup slush fund, and just don’t want their families, friends and constituents to find out…
Seems the women in Congress have a lot more to hide than the men in Congress. Remember sexual harassment is about power.
And so *POOF*! Nancy Mace is *instantly & immediately* all in hot&heavy about ‘investigating Kristi Noem’.
All puppets in a puppet show.
