Picked up a copy of the local rag, The Boston Globe, yesterday, while out and about and noticed that the Cambridge City Council voted to ban all city departments from posting on X.
I don’t use X, though do find their rationale amusing.
Since the Globe article is behind a paywall, here is another local reference:

Par for the course for the communist city of Cambridge.
Shocked the article didnt endorse bluesky
“no ethical social media companies under capitalism.”
Had no idea local papers were that far gone but i havent read any since the 90’s

An excellent summary of how The Truth is twisted, twasted, and twusted into Anti-Truth!
The Mockingbird Media and their government stool pigeons SUCK.
Just like an actual blizzard rather than snowstorm has turned into a bomb cyclone and nothing has changed, not even the democommies ability to clean it up in 40years!
Every little storm now-a-days is a “bomb cyclone”
and/or, every little storm is a “Killer hurricane”,
and every little happening is a “bombshell”.
Our media is now trying to frighten us of any little normal event…
Fear sells
Fear is destabilizing.
And a lie.
Yes, and atmospheric river for .. heap big rain storm coming… stress the “authentic “ self awareness and knowledge “adjacent “ phenomenons too .. lol!
There was some reference to Musk, whatever one may think of him, as a “White Supremacist” in the Globe article: ad hominem attack, and likely, psychological projection!
But bluesky is allowed Blooming lefty scum

One American sounding name says it all to me and do tell an AWFUL… Time to take a chisel back to Ellis Island, where you came in and your accent butchered your last name to fit the American dream👍
Keep in mind that the immigrants didn’t fill out their own admission paperwork ’cause most didn’t speak English…
The clerks, (men only at that time) wrote down the names using phonetics… There were lots of misspellings… Keep this in mind if you are trying to track down your family tree.
ON city time or their own time? Just X or all social media sites? City time, okay, they should be working but it should include all social media sites not just X.. On their own time, that is censorship and not legal. It sounds like on city time to me.
Not for nothin’, but the “signal not the noise” here -as Bannonites like to say, is the recognition of how effective propaganda is upon people. And it is effective because it works exactly as intended i.e. to program the human mind to a specific thought or framing of thought/s.
I do not recall any time period during my lifetime wherein critical thinking skills were more, well, critical.

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 49 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.
60 Minutes
@60Minutes
CBS News chief Washington correspondent @MajorCBS sat down with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington, D.C. They spoke on Friday, March 6th about the state of the war with Iran, potential American casualties, what an Iranian surrender could look like, and more.
Cont…and video linked…
We are fortunate to have leadership like Secretary of War Hegseth today. A very uplifting interview.
JMO.
He will be helping to bring Constitutional justice to the treasonous blue state / cities.
His JAG corp has already been called into service in the DC area to handle cases for the past year.
The serious treason cases will be handled by his team outside of the fraudulent DC judicial / jury pool environment. Even appealed cases will flow up through JAG, not through the not-so-supreme court.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
What’s JAG? Unce upon a time it was a great car.
“Judge Advocate General,” The Senior Military Legal Officer for the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.
There was a long running tv series by that name, too. If the tall, short-haired brunette star looks familiar, that’s because she was the “Good Witch” from the popular Hallmark series and movies!
Thank you.
Military Tribunals probably. Judge Advocate General Corps. Lyndsay Graham confirmed this was a possibility years ago when they found out what Clinton did to Trump.
Link?
👍
Hoping lots of future work for JAGs as the current crop of judges are ruling according to their individual bias and destroying our country/communities…bill
What I can find thus far is that JAG officers are assisting in prosecuting misdemeanor cases in the District of Columbia due to losses of DOJ prosecutors from that office (think J6 jerks that left). These are only JAG officers who otherwise qualify in the DC court systems and does not cover JAG officers who do not qualify to work inside the DC.
That doesn’t really seem to add up to using JAG officers across the USA nor to prosecuting serious cases.
You listen the Hegseth and you realize he is a soldier not a politician. It’s very refreshing. It’ also why the Democrats hate him.
I have to admit I was expecting a shrill shill from the far left interviewing our Sec of DOW and almost didn’t click on the link. That was a great interview, Thanks!
How refreshing to listen to an intelligent non-political SoW. No stuttering, non-answers, no ands, uhs or evasive answers. No wonder the left hate this man.
Hegseth is an apex alpha male. It’s no wonder that the estrogen-laden, deluded males and male wannabes of the left fear him. They suffer from toxic masculinity shock syndrome.
Megyn Kelly says the are editing interviews again………….

for a look at the news from Saudi Arabia, link to their online news paper:
https://www.arabnews.com/saudiarabia
2 articles at the top of the fold, among other stories:
“Iran will be the biggest loser from escalation: Riyadh”
and
“US military kills six in strike on alleged drug boat in eastern Pacific”
New article up about Iran missiles and drones being shot out of the sky aimed mostly at Saudi air base. Only 2 dead, Indian nationals, cleaning crews injured, same nationals. I guess they would rather live/work anywhere rather than India. That or is this a new Hindu conquering method?
No, they are “guest workers” who do the jobs Saudis don’t want to do. The other Gulf states, likewise.
Indentured servants, mostly. Slaves? Perhaps.
Slavery is alive and well in the muslim world.
Data Republican’s deep-dive, in substack form, titled “Data Analysis of the State of the Iranian Conflict on March 8, 2026”
https://datarepublican.substack.com/p/data-analysis-of-the-state-of-the
It is a lengthy, beautiful, deep-dive with links to the source material she used over the previous several days to create this article; and she has asked those veterans with specific experience for their input, corrections, additions, etc. so this may turn out to be the beginning of a deeper look.
Excellent, detailed. The military has so far been successful, but political change could take 2-5 years (Mike Flynn).
P.S. Saw an Instagram post which claimed Iran sent a warning missile at our most modern and largest aircraft carrier as a warning, and it allegedly turned and headed out.
Secobd allegations is that they haven’t used their hypersonic missiles yet, and if they used one to sink an American aircraft to carrier, President Trump would have a massive decision. Too big a reply could close sections of the area for years and send us into a worldwide recession?
I sincerely doubt that they have any such [operational …] weapons. If they had, they would have used them by now.
“Attacking every neighboring country within reach” was no accident. It’s how they roll. The word, “consequences,” is not in their vocabulary.
Having seized power 47 years ago, they now consider themselves to be invincible. And, they want you to think that, too. They want to elect (sic …) a new “leader,” just like the last one, and keep on going for another century. But I think their days are numbered and in the single digits now.
Too Bad they don’t have a Baghdad Bob that could entertain us
I posted your link on the open thread and cited you. Thanks Bess!
🕶️✝️🕶️🫵
The “mosaic defense” pretty much is decentralized oppression of the people.
The Iranian people are not going to be able to change their government until these abusers decide to stop abusing.
I do though find some inherent contradiction between the absolute faith in the Mosaic pushed by the article and the absolute faith in war claims pushed by America and Israel.
Without being able to know what the stockpile was and what it has been reduced to, we don’t really know that the decrease in launching is because of our strikes.
If you are given 100 missiles and only given permission to fire 10 of them, you are going to run out, but still have 90 left awaiting new permission. Just one of many possible explanations that are swept aside by preconceived notions.
Frankly, if we have reduced the Mosaic by 90%, then it wasn’t all that good a defense to start with.
And history is full of “underestimating” the enemy.
I’m pretty sure that, if these nut-balls had a missile and the remaining capacity to fire it, they would have done so long before now. I think that the USA and Israel know a lot about what they are now facing, having faced it for almost half a century now. And they know how to take it out, and are doing so. They can remain in-theater for as long as it takes.
Interesting there is a “Mosaic Center” (shopping district) in Fairfax Virginia . International wondered what that name meant.
Romans maid lots of mosaic floors. Pictures made by piecing together lots of different colored stones.
👌 = excellent
That was a fact-filled summary with balanced analysis worth reading.
One aspect not mentioned about the Mosaic missile cities is their tunnels.
The tunnels are getting plugged with no communication or re-supply for the trapped soldiers underground. When they get off a missile, they are immediately targeted by bombers.
See this 16 minute video I found yesterday:
WEF Seth Moulton does political theater and credit to the Boston Herald for doing some real journalism:
Moulton’s State of the Union guest referenced in police reports involving
‘sexual assault and juveniles,’ according to police
Ed Morrissey published an opinion piece on Hot Air:
“Gomes da Silva issued a statement insisting on his innocence and claimed never to have been contacted by police in either case. Moulton’s office told the Herald that their review never showed that Gomes da Silva had been charged with a crime. However, the Herald isn’t standing pat on those responses:
A court may consider this argument for unsealing the records. Gomes da Silva made himself into a public figure, specifically in the context of law enforcement and immigration policy. It seems highly unlikely that he made that choice without knowing he’d been at least a “person of interest” in two sexual assault cases in 2021. Moulton presented him specifically as a case against current immigration policy and enforcement, a matter of great public interest, which means that the media has the right and duty to fully explore Moulton’s argument.”
Schumer says the SAVE America Act could take 20 Million people off the voter rolls.
Notice: “people”, not “citizens”.
What percentage are Democrats or Liberal – 75%? 85%?
How does he know it would take 20 million people off the roles?
Probably because he knows how many millions of illegals are here and what percentage of them has been voting without being caught.
Death certificates and Deportation orders.
He knows there are also millions of ghost voters, the mail in ballots that go to empty buildings tc.
As of 2024, 35 states require voters to present some form of identification to vote, with 25 of those states specifically requiring a photo ID.
That is half the states that already require photo ID.
Where are all the disenfranchised people complaining in those states? Why isn’t the media putting all those disenfranchised people on TV telling their stories? Combined those 25 states should have hundreds of recently married women telling their story of disenfranchisement. Those 25 states combined should have thousands of disenfranchised blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, Native Americans and other marginalized people on TV telling their stories of disenfranchisement.
Yet the Democrats and media haven’t presented even one of these poor disenfranchised people to put on TV. Why? Because they don’t seem to exist.
This exact analysis doesn’t see major media light of day because it’s too simple in its refutation of the idiocy going on in blue states to steal elections.
That said, even with ID all of the other methodology around mail in ballots and gerrymandering, etc is enough to overcome actual fair voting.
Just b/c a person presents an ID does not mean they are a legal citizen. How many states issued DLs (that’s a photo ID) to illegals/ Remember Gov. Walz bragging about signing that Bill giving “DL for everyone”? Minnesomalia isn’t the only state to license illegals. And how many SSNs did the OBiden regime give to illegals? That’s one of the documents easily forged to gain a DL.
No but ID’s can also prove they are not citizens. It doesn’t mean the Democrats won’t cheat, but it will definitely make it harder for them to cheat.
Back in the day… the DL included clear statement, check box indicating citizen or not. Also every January you had to send form to us customs and immigration with address and status. They kept pretty detailed paper files – including correspondence and even school report cards. My wallet was stolen and all my ID including green card. I was disallowed from attending classes at jr college because- even tho school had copy of my legal docs , I couldn’t show card in new semester. This I know, having seen it when I naturalized to citizen in 1977 from “permanent resident”. Lots of immigration status changes thereafter…
Georgia requires photo ID. Georgia surveillance cameras filmed(!) an election steal in-progress. And Georgia did nothing about it, except to try to imprison a President who called them out.
Without the 20 million he refers to (that is probably a minimum number) there would be a greater GOP majority in both the House and Senate, maybe even great enough that the RINOs would not be able to thwart passage of the MAGA agenda.
A great many non-citizens (legal and illegal) get registered to vote under Motor Voter because verifying citizenship either isn’t being done at all or is being done only here and there regardless of state laws. Even if they do not personally vote, their registration is being used to vote for them using mail-in ballots (and other fraudulent methods) that also are not verified very well if at all.
The Democrats are absolutely never going to support any bill like the SAVE Act, nor are they ever going to support deporting any illegals. I believe many RINOs are also of similar outlook because they also benefit one way or another, maybe also at the ballot box, from having so many illegals in the country.

The Gulf Cartel’s presence in Guanajuato — a state historically far from its original stronghold — confirms that these organizations move freely at any sign of weakness.
The capture of “Beto” Bazán Salinas is not an isolated event but the result of shared intelligence and determination to protect the national security of Mexico and the United States.

Going after the narco leaders is a good thing. Keep in mind the cannabis reality of years ago: Americans began to grow their own…and it was a “stronger” product–where today pot is legal in many states.
With supply diminished but with demand still high, the question then becomes…will Americans create an answer within the United States to satisfy demand? Look to the series “Breaking Bad” for insights.
Here is where our public educational systems can really make a difference relative to substance abuse. How do we confront this reality of “Spice” as seen in the movies Dune? A little help from my friend…
Minnesota Somali fraud, California Medicaid fraud, Ukraine, Iran, Central American drug cartels, NGO political kickbacks, Epstein blackmail operations, massive uncontrolled illegal immigration, Middle East Islamic terrorism, are all connected. They are not separate issues, but are, all of them, just individual components of one … thing. President Trump is not tackling multiple problems all at once, but is tackling the SINGLE problem from multiple directions.

Horrific truth behind photo Democrat lawyer posted honoring her Nazi grandfather on Veterans Day
He was a Nazi. Closer examination of the photos she posted shows he was SS and worked at Sachenhausen Concentration camp
A top Michigan DEMOCRAT fundraiser has pulled down social media posts honoring her German grandfather after military experts identified what appear to be SS uniforms and Nazi concentration camp buildings in her family photos.
Kelly Neumann, 46, removed the images and tribute to her grandfather Albert Neumann, who fought for Germany in WW2 following an angry backlash from the Jewish community and fellow Democrats.
But a Daily Mail investigation has uncovered troubling details about her family’s wartime history that suggest he was more than just a regular soldier.
Military historians examining Neumann’s photo collection said some images appear to show uniforms of the Nazi Party’s elite Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary force.
They also seem to have been taken at the notorious Sachsenhausen concentration camp north of Berlin, where at least 30,000 prisoners died.

Conditions and medical experiments in Sachenhausen
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/sachsenhausen-conditions-in-the-camp
It’s even more gruesome to see it person.
Don’t know if the exhibit at Dachau still has it …. but in 1979, while we were stationed in West Germany, one could still see the lab at the Dachau Camp exhibit-tour … even the lab notebooks were on display which added to the horror as we could both read German.
Supposedly the sexual mutilation surgeries began during this time.
Alas, Operation Paperclip brought many of the Nazi ghouls over here.
It is even worse …. allot of the Experiments actually involved “Human Endurance” to various environmental conditions and drug cocktails to improve performance.
The “environmental” experiments involved such things as exposure to various levels of atmospheric pressure and exposure to temperatures as well as liquid immersion.
Drug experiments resulted in knowledge and chemical formulas for drugs actually used by the German Military … the Uppers and Downers that drove the temporary endurance of Soldiers, Submariners and Pilots.
Allot of the data from these experiments found it’s way to NASA and DoD Technical Agencies along side the “German Engineering Experts” brought to the US by Operation Paper clip.
It would not be far fetched to learn the same is true of Medical Research Entities.

I don’t see any DAs’ or judges’ photos in that line-up… LAW SCHOOLS
have been systematically churning out the judicial perpe-TRAITORS
for at least a couple of generations.
So….democRATS ARE nazis….
All “Progressives” are nazis
What did they wan to do with the ‘un-vaxed’….I need a refresher…
And the ones who enforced Branch Covidian Dicktats ARE Card Carrying Fascists: integration of business and government.
Most of them have no idea what fascism actually means, or that Nazis are actual socialists.
The Democrat party believes African Americans are too stupid to get a photo ID to vote.
Yet 76% polled want ID requirements to clean up the rolls.
It’s a persistent level of condescension. Instead, their party argument is “just let big brother figure it all out for you”.
How Dinko Sakic and Jasenovac was and has been treated is of immense interest and a big clue to unraveling world theater events that Nostradamus Pike seemed to know so much about.

Kevin Hermening, a Republican running for the House in Wisconsin Republican, knows the brutality of the Iranian regime better than most.
In 1979, 66 Americans were taken hostage. Hermening, who was a young Marine at the time, and 51 others were held captive by the Islamic Republic for the entire duration of the conflict, 444 days.
The NY Post: “Hermening was in solitary confinement for 43 days, held in a 5×10 room, handcuffed and blindfolded at first.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/wi-congressional-candidate-kevin-hermening-understands-iran-brutality/
Trying to imagine a 5 x 10 “room”….maybe the size of a twin size bed? An American closet?
A box stall for a horse is 10×10 ?
Kevin Hermening’s second run for Congress. He lost the first time in 1980 in the same district. He was only 22 years old. He also received two drunk driving tickets during his campaign. Another thing I think hurt him was a lot of people thought Marines should have died rather than surrendered the embassy. Plus he faced Dave Obey, who was an entrenched House Rep for 14 years at the time.
I think he is a different person now. He is older and politically experienced and I never thought they should have died in that situation. Current Rep is Tom Tiffany, who isn’t running again, but is running for Wisconsin governor instead. Also Sean Duffy served in the 7th. Though I haven’t lived in the 7th since 1997 I wish Kevin well in his bid to win a seat in Congress. He faces some stiff competition in the Republican primary.

AN article worth perusal..

“The real question, though, is this: Why would anyone in a Western democracy — lands of freedom and equality — support such a murderous regime? Is it a misguided belief that opposing America is always the “enlightened” choice, no matter the cost? Or is it cultural relativism, where we excuse barbarism because it’s wrapped in “anti-imperialist” rhetoric?”
Why? Money and balance of power.

************* IEDs in NYC protest thrown by pro-Islamic protesters?
Anti-Islamic protesters bring pepperspray
Pro- Islamic protesters bring bombs
“NYPD Says Device Thrown by Counterprotesters Near Mayor Mamdani’s Home Was an IED The incident occurred on March 7 as an anti-Islam protester pepper-sprayed counterprotesters, two of whom responded with explosive devices, police say.”
The New York Police Department (NYPD) said on March 8 that an improvised explosive device (IED) was ignited and thrown by counterprotesters outside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence over the weekend.
The incident occurred on March 7 as around 20 anti-Islam protesters clashed with a few counterprotesters near Gracie Mansion, where Mamdani and his wife resided, said police.
One of the counterprotesters, identified as Emir Balat, 18, then “lit and threw” an ignited device toward the protest area, which landed in a crosswalk on East End Avenue. All of this was caught on the NYPD’s Argus surveillance camera network. Tisch said witnesses also reported seeing flames and smoke before it hit a barrier and extinguished itself “a few feet from police officers.”
Balat then allegedly fled the first scene before he got a second device from a man tentatively identified as Ibrahim Nick, 19, which he then lit before being apprehended by police.”

The two suspects?
Sure written to make the innocent sound guilty and vice a versa.
Just more muzzie terrorism.
Yes Jim, every news outlet featuring pictures of “radical right wing protester Jack Lang”.
All news outlets using euphemisms like “counter protesters” versus pro Islamic or the real definitive Muslim Terrorists toss IED at NYPD.
Is this how the Muslim takeover of GB began? Any ‘protest’ by regular citizens were tuned into violent attacks by Muslims throwing the bombs and running away and the press pretending the protesters threw the bombs?
Yes. Oh and also, their King never met a muslim he didn’t

“Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign
against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against
deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes,
WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?”

Make sure to read the Tax poem toward the bottom
Boehner was Speaker in the Obama years, 2011-2015
That was posted in 2013.
The poster said it had been written around 2001, but that there were multiple versions all bearing some sign of modification and hard to pin down the original.
Boy was she right.
Also, Sundance reminds us that Piglosi and company took power in 2007 and that we haven’t had proper budgets and appropriations since. Even with her out of power.
But that last is something obfuscated when searching the web.
Our enemies are using immigration legal,illegal, and ‘refugee programs’ etc to do a similar op to what they did to destroy Yugoslavia and Heritage Americans are the Orthodox Christian Serbs
Many seem to forget the massive loss of American Treasure on the American Homeland, on 9/11.
If it takes 25 years to figure that out, those people have no place in American politics.
Democrats supported by RINOs and Uniparty Republicans will make sure there is an open pipeline of muslim immigrants into the country in accordance with the odious 1965 Immigration Act which gave preference to POC from third world hellholes in the browning of America effort!!!
JMO.
President Trump is the “rope-a-doper-supreme.”
He recognized that the power of the “globalist / communist / democrat / RINOs nest of vipers” in DC came from the “synergy” of the group.
You know “synergy”: the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.
Over the past century the globalist / communist in the three branches of the federal government established unconstitutional rules to hamstring any pro-Constitution president who was elected.
The “synergistic” power of that treasonous conspiracy within the federal government was legendary: To quote Congressman Schumer: Intelligence Agencies ‘Have Six Ways From Sunday Of Getting Back At You’.
Until the G.O.A.T. rope-a-doper-was elected in 2024 by “we the people” to be our weapon-of-choice against the democrat / RINOs.
He proceeded to apply the “reverse synergistic function” to the treasonous DC federal government.
What is the “Reverse Synergistic Function”? Peeling back, one at a time, the critical elements of the “globalist / communist / democrat / RINOs” structure, ……. isolating them from the group and requiring them to be Constitutional compliant in their dealings, or else.
And last, but not least, removing the “black, off-the-books” funding of the national democrat party by the CIA’s illegal, hidden domestic and foreign cash caches. The dirty little secret in DC was that the CIA completely funded the national democrat party over the past 40+ years ….. picking candidates and stealing elections through the equipment and voting procedures at the state and local level.
The national democrat party hasn’t been elected by citizens from across the country for decades.
That alone should form the legal basis for the Executive Branch, to immediately start overseeing the local voting procedures, equipment and schedules for the next decade until all of the local election fraud rings have been prosecuted and removed from our election systems.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Seriously?
This, at the same time our MAGA POTUS threatens to reach into our Texas election decisions by endorsing Cornyn over Paxton with his stated goal being saving money in the senate Republican leadership PAC while being extorted by beneficiaries of said PAC? That pot of money is there to protect incumbents from the constituents by funding their re-election campaigns.
Sherri Young,
Thanks for the comment.
” threatens to reach into our Texas election decisions by endorsing Cornyn over Paxton”?
I haven’t heard him endorse anyone. Before or after the initial vote.
Have a great MAGA DAY!
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/03/04/president-trump-announces-he-will-soon-endorse-either-john-cornyn-or-ken-paxton-urges-the-non-endorsed-to-exit-race/
So, he hasn’t endorsed Cornyn, as you claim above?
No, Trump has not endorsed Cornyn or Paxton yet. I did not claim that he had made an endorsement. He has threatened to do so and also asserted that the other candidate should drop out.
I live in Texas. I cheered when Ken Paxton announced that he would oppose Cornyn in the senate race. Anyone who has paid much attention to Texas politics surely must have recognized that credibly contested senatorial races here have been growing more expensive. The Cornyn campaign has not needed to spend much on primaries in the past. Potential candidates seem to have feared the Cornyn machine and money.
For an idea of how much money and energy can be directed to these campaign efforts:
“TX Senate Ad Analysis: The Most Expensive Senate Primary On Record”
https://adimpact.com/blogs/tx-senate-ad-analysis-the-most-expensive-senate-primary-on-record
It is in John Thune’s interest as (Uniparty) Senate Majority Leader to keep his reliable Uniparty senators in office where he (and Mitch) can demand their votes.
Of course Thune is highly motivated to keep Cornyn in and Paxton out.
Trump is brand-conscious. Now Thune is extorting Trump by trying to hold important legislation hostage to entice Trump to apply his brand to Cornyn.
Without the 17th Amendment, the senators from Texas would be leaping to vote for the (Trump-branded) SAVE America Act. It comports with Texas election law. As TX AG, Paxton has defended the state level legislation.
Now the President of the United States and the senior senator from South Dakota are trying to determine who will be the Republican senatorial candidate on the Texas ballot in November. This does not comport with the philosophy upon which this nation was founded.
Disgusting.
President Trump chose two Senators as his Vice Presidents. I trust that he is well aware of the vipers that prefer to come at him from behind.
Black off the book funding of Democrats is much broader than CIA and USAID.
Trump has been uprooting that black funding everywhere he can.
Even this Fraud is a Black funding mechanism. Waltz and Ellison are both beneficiaries of this fraud (donations, political support) and both make it easier, make more money available for theft, and persecute anybody who would blow the whistle. And that is skipping the massive voter fraud that is mixed in too.
NGOs are simply Democrat funding liberal policy.
Regulatory fines are often given to liberal policy groups instead of the treasury.
On and on it goes. And Trump has been fighting all of it.
It seems safe to say, if the government funds it, there is a scheme to misuse the money, including laundering the funds back to the DNC.
Noem can primary Thune. How is that a bad thing.
Thune is arrogant enough to take her on.
Thune HATES MAGA, so let the games begin!
…And Noem just spent $220 million on what are essentially campaign ads.
Maybe that would help her.
According to Mike Rowe @ https://mikerowe.com/2021/04/p-t-barnum-once-said-theres-no-such-thing-as-bad-publicity/ .
“P.T. Barnum once said, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” which is almost as good as Oscar Wilde’s version, who put it like this: “There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
Thank you!
“… You know “synergy”: the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects….”

That is why I haven’t watched TV in over fifteen years. I used to like NCIS until the wookie was featured in one of the episodes. I turned it off.
I have a TV and no cable, just an antennae so I can get the local weather during the storm season as I live in N. Texas near the Red River. The local weatherman is really thorough and they have very good radar and very good coverage.
Observation. Regardless of reasons or possibility of success, for timing purposes and proximity to November election, Iranian situation and oil/gas prices are pacing right along with COVID in 2020. Prices better revert back in “weeks not months” or same November result will be assured.
assured……..as planned.
Completely reject that premise. Pain at the pump is not COVID19 and this is not 2020.
History rhymes, it doesn’t have to repeat. We’ll see. I hope I’m wrong.
The rhyming part is the hit to the economy. It doesn’t matter how they get there, just get there. Inflation will spike, Bull Sh.. Snooze, BSN will trumpet, malleable low info voters will lap it up…….I think I’ve read this play book before.

“Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK
DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”
I miss the old Trump that could read a room. This newer version sure does like to insult his base… a lot! Weird.
What if peace breaks out for a century?
How do you interpret that statement as an insult to his base?
It’s exactly why I’m glad MAGA is going/has gone mainstream. I love my country as do you, but there have been a few serious signs that many in “the room” have gone a little crazy. Plus, no movement lasts forever in its original form.
He’s talking to the *slow learners*… the conservative pearl-clutchers should really try harder to keep up;
“… The people freaking out are making the oldest mistake in the Trump playbook: they’re confusing the appearance of chaos with actual chaos. They said the same thing about tariffs. They said it about the Abraham Accords. They said it when Trump walked across the DMZ to shake Kim Jong-un’s hand. Every single time, the “experts” saw madness, and every single time, later events showed the method underneath….”

Yes we will go from $3.50 a gallon because of the war back to Obama’s and Biden’s $5.00 a gallon or even Newsom’s $8.00 a gallon if the Democrats win. So I will still vote GOP for cheaper gas prices.

An article over at The Gateway Pundit points out that of the known 4849 Christians slaughtered by Moose slimes in 2026, 3490 of them were in Nigeria.
Seeing as the mad mullahs in Iran are mainly sponsoring the killers, I wonder if the Nigerians Christians may now feel a bit safer.
God willing.

Obama’s “Iran will not get a nuclear weapon”= pallets of cash,
“Cash” can’t be traced. Betcha those transport planes flew over with cash, then flew right back to DC, also with the same cash.
Every bill has a unique serial number on it. I think they’re still on the lookout for the money stolen by DB Cooper.
DB Cooper did not have the ability to move pallets of cash through Major Financial Institutions willing to launder the cash … and willing to show the cash never left the US.
It was flown in on US government planes. The money was not US dollars but Euros and Swiss francs. You can bet they knew every serial number and we already know Iran used it to develop their nuclear program and fund terrorism. Some might have flowed back to the US but the majority did not. Exchanging that kind of money would have been to obvious.

The demand profile for Oracle’s products is changing. The “massive central data centers” that you’re reading so much about – the ones that are supposed to consume all the world’s electricity – are actually becoming obsolete. Virtually all of these “mainframes” run Oracle products.

Oil Futures way up today. +11.13% at $101.02. YTD up 88%
Yes, designed to create worry and panic and opposition to President TRUMP’S long-term plans to stabilize and reduce prices by eliminating Iran’s constant threat to shut off the Persian Gulf.
Democracies are notoriously impatient about certain matters!
On the other hand, America has patiently allowed the Communists to infiltrate our government and society for over 90 years and to such an extent that we now must undo the internal sabotage rather quickly, lest our decline become irreversible.
Retired Magistrate here: I lived through the Carter years when you didn’t know if you were going to get gas for your car or not. You could only fill up on certain days depending on your last name; i.e., A-F a certain day and so on. Of course after waiting in line for hours there was a good chance that the pumps would be empty by the time it was your turn.
At Christmas people were discouraged to use Christmas lights because they used to much electricity and if you were cold, to bad, put on more clothes. We were also the laughing stock of the world and of course the hostages.
Under President Trump this country is respected again, yes gas is more right now, but eventually it will come back down and more importantly the chances of my glowing in the dark have gone done dramatically.
Yep, the Carter years were hell, many of us remember.
It’s all perspective and many in the US have extremely short memories.
I was a junior in college…I remember those days…having to make sure one had enough gas to be in line, idling.
Good afternoon Marcia. Yes, I lived through the carter years as well. My husband and I both worked and it was touch and go hoping we would have enough gas to get to work. There was no public transportation in the rural areas at that time.
Like you, I will pay the higher gas prices for now. Especially if my other choice is glowing in the dark.
Have a most blessed Monday.
I just paid under $4.50 for 91 in my Houston suburb. It’s been ages since I’ve paid this much.
I’ve worked in oil and gas my entire career and own a bunch of assets, so ironically, the higher prices are outstanding for my businesses.
I will note it’s been funny over the past few days seeing various versions of “it’s our patriotic duty to pay higher prices at the pump” from Trump’s biggest supporters.
Same here in North TX Collin County … price increases are now well over $1.00 per gallon for all grades … but wait there is nothing happening that IMPACTS SUPPLY in the US or the American Hemisphere, go figure.
Geee … and when will it be reported that anything happening in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea have ZERO impact on Prices at the pump in the US and the American Hemisphere in general for that matter .. unless the Financial Puppet Masters command it be so.
DOW is down about 722
The Big Dogs of Wall Street have the financial assets and super computer based tools to wag the International Markets up and down at will, within minutes and seconds ….. and still make allot of money no matter the direction market is headed … while the inconsequential little market dogs and flees suffer … and the business media cries about the suffering of the Little Dogs, Flees and Consumers.
A note of Interest, I like to follow the trends of the VIX (Market Volatility Index) as an indicator of what the Big Dogs are thinking. The VIX over 23-25 is an indication of HIGH MARKET Volatility. Early this year the was at 14 … super stable markets and WAS CLIMBING UP and had already climbed to near 20 long before the Iranian situation started to go volatile itself. Even during the on-going crisis with Iran, the Big Dogs will swing the VIX at the push of computer key to create the desired “financial context” and have the Business Media hyperventilating.
Previously the Big Dog Financial Puppet Masters were using the “Tariffs” as the excuse to wag the VIX and cause “Market Angst”.
Full disclosure .. I am retired and primarily in ALL cash positions. I DO NOT Trade nor claim to be a Trader … this is strictly a data point I use to make assessments that drive my comments.
It went almost to $120 but had dropped back to $95 earlier.
Somebody lost a lot of money.
All markets down this am due to oil fears. Nikkei hardest hit.
The Nikkei 225 closed down approximately 5.2% today (March 9, 2026), ending at around 52,728.72 after initially plunging more than 7% intraday. This marked one of its sharper single-day drops in recent history, with the broader Topix index falling about 3.8%.The primary driver was a massive surge in global oil prices, which spiked to over $100–$120 per barrel (Brent crude around $103–$115+ in reports, with intraday highs near $120). This was triggered by the ongoing escalation in the US-Israeli war with Iran, now in its second week. Key factors include disruptions to oil production and shipping in the Persian Gulf, including attacks on facilities, supply cuts by some producers, and fears of prolonged blockages in critical routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
Japan is heavily dependent on imported oil (nearly all its needs, with a large portion from the Middle East via that strait), making it especially vulnerable to energy price shocks compared to oil-producing nations.
This oil surge fueled widespread fears of:Renewed inflation pressures.
Potential economic slowdown or stagflation risks (higher costs hurting growth and corporate profits).
Possible further tightening by the Bank of Japan if inflation worsens.
The sell-off was broad-based across Asian markets (e.g., South Korea’s Kospi down ~6%, with circuit breakers triggered), hitting risk-sensitive sectors hardest in Japan, such as tech, exporters, and financials (e.g., companies like SoftBank, Advantest, and Tokyo Electron saw steep declines). Energy-related stocks gained somewhat, but the overall risk-off sentiment dominated.This comes after the Nikkei had hit record highs earlier in 2026 but has been under pressure from the Middle East conflict in recent weeks. Markets remain volatile as the conflict shows no quick resolution.
OK, didn’t I see a Mamdani post initially calling Jake Lang a white supremacist for this incident at the mayor’s home? Well, it now looks like the home made device was thrown at him. Whether he likes it or not, his post ties Jake Lang and the protest/device to each other. Like, it was Jake Lang who initiated the incident. Isn’t the left amazing how they differentiate about what a peaceful protest is?
I hope Jake Lang sues him for everything the clown is worth………..
But mark this: we are going to get election reform one way or another. It’s that urgent, and failure to accomplish it by legislation will warrant a national emergency.

So many Americans are rooting and wishing for the Iran war to turn out badly for Western Civ. And why? Because Trump. And why? Because at the same time he is ending Iran’s long-running nuclear blackmail game, he is terminating the rackets of the Democratic Party.
I don’t see anyone here “rooting” for the Iran conflict to turn out badly.
But now with Iran making threats like “the United States will no longer be safe” and knowing that this administration already reassigned or fired the law enforcement personnel who would protect us from potential terrorist attacks, it’s hard to be optimistic right now about things.
I’d even say this – we are in a much worse place now than we were pre-9/11. The intelligence and LEO apparatus has been damaged hard.
True, nobody here is doing such rooting, but our opponents are certainly hoping for a disaster of some sort.
You’re pessimism is entirely unwarranted. We’re getting safer by the day, richer by the day, more confident by the day, and more moral by the day. It’s a long way back and very messy, but I don’t think skyscrapers coming down and 30,000 deaths due to terrorism is all that likely anymore.
I don’t see any of those things happening right now.
Your blind optimism is entirely unwarranted.
Stop projecting and start reading some real news.
Is that you Jimmy Talarico? Crawl back under your bed there in Houston and take your passive aggressive libtard bs with you. Hey genius – the IC did 9/11.
The truth is hard, isn’t it?
i guess it is all about YOU then?
We are not safe now with all the trans genders going crazy, just saying…especially from the ones that had been ‘on the radar’.
You really should credit other authors, in this case Jim Kunstler, when you’re quoting them.
American Greatness just reviewed a 1958 book that somehow isn’t in my library – yet.

The Pursuit of the Millennium by Norman Cohn is among the classics in my library: highly recommended!
As a tangent: Byzantine historians will advise us that Moscow’s Byzantine heritage post-1453 – calling itself the Third Rome (Constantinople being the second) – was adopted by the utopian, messianic Bolsheviks with Marxism replacing Christianity and Jesus being replaced by new messiah Vladimir Lenin and his “magically” incorruptible body.
Post-Communist Russia today may no longer have such a messianic vision: we shall see!
An excellent selection of books are available from the Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, which is located in Massachusetts. There are several categories of topics. The quality of the scholarship and the printed books is exceptional.

Excellent! Many thanks for the link!
Allow me to offer the opinion of one of my professors of Byzantine History:
“If you want to understand the Russians and Russian History, you must first know and understand Byzantine History!”
Senator Tillis calling for removal of Stephen Miller. What’s Tillis’ motivation?
Stephen has a wonderful “fully informed and in your face and here’s what has to happen” approach to moving MAGA forward. Tillis isn’t running for reelection. I wonder what kind of parachute pay he’s getting for trashing house before he leaves.
Would love to expose the money trail to Tillis.
