found this on X/twitter, posted by Matt Van Swol where he decided to see if his name was used as someone who donated to political campaigns – where he never did – under what is called smurfing; where donations are made to politicians falsely using innocent individuals names in the growing campaign finance fraud story. He found a bunch of donations in his name in a State he never lived in or visited.
He shared two links so people can check their own names to see if they too are victims of this smurfing. I tried out the first one, and thankfully nothing there, but, the volume is high so a lot of people are trying it out
Am posting both his tweet, and then a direct link, as a reply to this comment, to one of the sites for those not using twitter/x
here’s a link to check my donation site:
https://checkmydonation.org/
and here is a link to the FEC site:
https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
OMG!
I just put my last name into a state I formerly lived in.
It retuned a couple hundred small donations by same person to ActBlue! Obviously bogus!
Surely this is big time fraud?
Wow! That’s scary and, would infuriate me too!
I checked, even used my maiden name (sorry Democrats, this woman actually knew how to find her birth certificate and marriage license 🤣 ) just in the State’s i’ve lived and, like the author of the X post, he checked in State’s he’d never been in and the site got so busy figured I’d do that later on.
Also am planning to check the names of those in my family who have passed on years ago, just to see if they are still donating to candidates!
Last election cycle I checked to see if their names were still listed as active voters, and was glad they weren’t added to that list; and had done that after I began getting campaign literature in the mail for Democrat candidates that was being mailed to my late husband, who had passed away over a decade earlier – and then I called our Nv. Sec. of State office to put them on notice and then I called the county’s Republican party headquarters to put them on notice what was going on – and suddenly the mailings stopped!
We, as citizens, do have to watch these private corporations (all political parties are private entities) like hawks!
<I just put my last name into a state I formerly lived in. It returned a couple hundred small donations…>
I’m surprised they didn’t flag ‘Grasshopper’ 🙂
“How Much Did You Contribute to Democrats?”
$0.00
but, haven’t checked all the States yet 😐
I donated to Romney once. Does he count as a Democrat? I still think he was better than reelecting Zero. But not that much better. Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney all look like Democrats now that we elected Trump three times.
Oooh my embarrassment. And it is permanently recorded. It will shame my descendants long after I am gone.
But no. No one else is abusing my name in those records. Just me.
Just a question -but how would someone know it’s their name and not just someone with the same name that lives in another state? Is there anything else that identifies them as a specific person?
Good question.
The easiest way to bust Act Blue, is to verify they sent donor letters to every donor for their tax returns.
Yea, that’s a thing.
Why is keeping record of this even allowed?
Federal Election Commission requires candidates to record where their campaign contributions come from; so probably there is a time factor for how long the records must be kept.
At 5:49 am is the bar chart showing support for the SAVE Act bill of many Americans, all voters, Hispanic, black, dem voters all above 70% and house & Senate Dems below 1%.
I would add Senate GOPrick RINOrats at about 10%.
Another positive indicator of PDJT’s economic policies from working America…

Fraud of an AI aided kind…as if the pharmaceutical industrial complex needed any help in defrauding the people…
All of this AI garbage is gonna get 10000X worse. It’s just getting started and you already cannot trust anything you see or read or hear. The amount of fakery on the internet is beyond belief. Most internet searches are completely useless. The internet 20 years ago was much more useful than it is today.
Wait until the AI stuff starts stealing identities or hacking into accounts, or creating false accusations of serious wrongdoing against people, etc. AI is not being designed for good, it’s being designed for evil. This is all very bad.
🎯
And people believe what they want to believe and use false information to spread their ideology and hate. Hard to have rational, common sense, coherent discussions about issues. Everything seems to be driven by emotion rather than common sense and that’s the lefts playground.
Here is what bothers me. This could all be mitigated with legislation that requires AI be prominently labeled as AI or the creator will be harshly fined.
And banks are setting us up for failure by not allowing meaningful verification methods. They should use both vocal/facial AND a passcode that AI would have to crack.
How hard is it for AI to duplicate your face or replicate, “My voice is my password”? Anyone with a tiny brain can see this train wreck coming.
Yet they do nothing.
PAID to do nothing.
I’ve found a very simple work around for that, don’t use online access.
I do my banking in person the same way I did 50 years ago.
A lot of these tech problems are cause by peoples unbreakable addiction to those stupid smart phones that they get sucked into using for everything.
This^!
That’s good if you can. As a physician there are now > 15 functions that I absolutely cannot do without having a smart phone. No choice.
Every time I go in the bank they are after me to met with them about investments, Cd, …… It is total BS. PNC is a necessary evil since they have the corner of the market in my area. They bought up all the mom and pop local backs. Only thing that is kinda local is a teachers credit union bank. Forget that.
Go to smaller Credit Union. I haven’t set foot in a Bank since 1980 when Credit Unions were allowed shared draft (checking) accounts. When I first started using them some retailers wouldn’t accept them.
I have never regretted that decision.
Banks are addicted too. Fewer branches, less hours and sorry service.
What about when/if there is another “scamdemic”? They already tried to tell the masses that the physical money was dirty, spreading disease and pushing the CDBC.
In Mexico the president just recently announced that soon they wouldn’t be able to pay for their gas or their highway tolls with cash going totally electronic.
And all that verification also has a cost. I have 60 websites I must access for my work that require yearly and many require quarterly password changes. Now many of these are requiring 2 factor authentication.
Setting aside I will N-E-V-E-R acquiesce to biometric data usage…
AI is already faking peoples voices in scams and via pictures for facial recognition.
2FA coupled with strong passwords is ample protection…
Have you noticed that AI has not gone quantum computing yet?
Speaking of things that are so hyped. It is said that no security system will be safe from Quantum computing. And it is said that AI is intelligent and will produce sentience and sapience.
NO!!!!!!!!!! Prison time is what stops this.
Elle ….you are so right about bank accounts. The access on the internet by computer, phone….which you are basically being forced to use …all of your money will be vulnerable, Although the Bank now covers losses, that will come to an end when the cost becomes too much. Even if you took everything offline, your info is still out there.
Close all accounts with new ones ,still accessible through the banks access. My family member wired money to an account that a couple hours later found out was fraud. Went to bank immediately to report and stop…even had name, bank, account number, but could not get money back. The Fraudster had a way of intercepting money before it actually showed being deposited.The bank account holder was unaware, a straw man. The money went into thin air. They have no way of stopping the fraud that is about to be rampant.
Years ago, banks would verify SS numbers to government ledgers to ascertain if the person presenting it matched the approximate age and location where the SSN was issued. For example, if a thirty year old southerner presented an SSN issued in Hawaii a decade before they were born, it raised a red flag.
New bank accounts were also verified to prior banking relationships in good standing. A young adult with no financial track record required a relative who is an existing bank customer to verify their new account.
Since the advent of human trafficking that has all changed. Resident aliens regularly use check cashing places that require no background checks. And people now send pictures of checks for deposit. They don’t even need to present the actual check anymore.
Any good hacker, scam artist or inside employee can access banking funds these days, because face-to-face, human relationships are no longer required to conduct financial transactions.
UK’s pedoKing may not be making any statements Easter week, but the American government is – and it doesn’t involve big Easter bunnies directing the president away from crowds…

Are you glad you’re not in the EU?
I think that is part of Trump’s plan. The EU is going to face some tough choices within a week; the significant number of the people of Europe that are not awake now are going to be slapped upside the head hard and forced to take a good hard look at reality–some will close their eyes, plug their ears and sing la,la,la,la, but others are going to be taking a hard look at the dipsh1ts who got them there.
Could a turn to more populism, protection of their western civilization heritage, and nation be on the horizon? A complete surrender to accepting a deal with Trump and the movement of Europe to a position within the influence of a free America, instead of Team Slavery?
Tune in next week: same bat time! same bat channel!
Long – but worth quoting..
Food for thought.
Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride
For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface.
The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities.
Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed.
In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines.
In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive.
A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent.
By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right.
In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.
President Trump is learning the Europeans that the old status quo is no more – there wil be NO “return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. “

One of the many reasons why Immigration has been my #1 issue and why I was initially drawn to Pat Buchanan’s Populist campaigns. If the borders had been closed like Heritage America had wanted back in the 90’s, we would not have half the problems we now have.
On the ground reports from ten years ago, from a Liberal, in Northern California:
– winter coat drive for the ‘poor’ in an outer suburb was 100% Latino
– Head Start in the same area – 100% Latino
– one woman said she stopped volunteering for a local charity when a ‘client’ showed up in a brand new $60,000 truck
Where is the progress on kicking out illegals from HUD properties?
I know there will be lots of pushback and sabatogue in places like California and from within HUD.
This is an article from Gateway Pundit which should remind us to be skeptical considering any source of information, but especially for our purposes here in the Treehouse comments section. Beware of the bots and trolls being used to drive a wedge between us, the only thing that matters at this stage is MAGA and getting a Congress that represents us and not Team Slavery.
Trust in President Trump, he is fighting an invisible enemy so vast and entrenched that his brand of misdirection is the only viable strategy at this time.

The Democrats long ago turned their backs on the White Working class, Black Americans are realizing, like the Chicago Flips Red group, that the Democrat-marxist criminals are dropping them for Illegal alien invaders aka Replacement Democrat voters for Heritage Americans.
Looks like Vlad knows something…
Russia’s state nuclear company Rosatom evacuates a further 198 of its staff from Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant.
Yes, we must continue with a Republican congress, no matter how many RINO’s it is stuffed with, a Democratic takeover of one house is death.
You fight with the army you have, not the one you wish for.
Fight the RINOs in the primaries.
And fight the Democrats in the General.
But don’t expect the RINOs to have your back in the general if you win the primary.
I don’t expect anything from them except their narrow self-interest. If we have one of the houses lost to Dems though, we have no leverage whatsoever, but if we have a Republican Congress there are paths of influencing RINOs by making MAGA in their self-interests.
Even though we may not have gotten what we wanted, the fact that we have had a Republican congress–even though stuffed with RINOs–has given us a few more victories; they at least have to perform to a certain level of pretend, whereas Dems are free to openly resist every single proposal.
👍 💯
We can also install DINOs in blue state primaries where R’s can never win the general.
They routinely pack our Republican primaries with fake Republicans. We can- and should -do the same to them in reverse.
It’s about time we level the playing field and give the UNiparty a taste of it’s own medicine!!
Absolutely!!
Somehow the Silent Majority must get off their arse, get motivated and vote in the midterm election.
Hopefully we can keep the House and Senate and elect a few more MAGA in the process.
It’s unbelievable to me, considering what Democrats want to do to our country, that anyone would vote for them, but they do.
Maybe the July 4th 250 Anniversary Celebration will motivate people to fear what will happen to our country if Democrats win either House or Senate.

And this right here is why a whole lot of the drama, the squabble and the infighting that goes on is a waste of time and energy and often makes us look bad.

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States.
Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the “Great Satan.”
This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter’s legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States.

Saudi Arabia built the East-West Pipeline *45 years ago* knowing Iran would one day use the Hormuz as an economic weapon.
A full ONE-THIRD of the crude that normally goes through the Strait daily is still getting out of the region via this one pipeline to the Red Sea.
Cont…
Saudi built a pipeline, and the US got out of middle east oil by drilling our own (drill, baby, drill…thank you Trump).
I think Iran runs a real risk by threatening, or blackmailing, the world over the Straight of Hormuz. They exposed themself too early (weakened state and before achieving nuclear weapons).
It might take a couple years, but alternate methods could be built to totally bypass Hormuz permanently. Forever.
That would be devastating to Iran’s economic survival.
Dear God make it so. I am more than ready to never think about Iran again.

They were established in 1992. I don’t see anything about building houses or having to sign pledges….
Only We the People can fix this!🇺🇲
Is this real? I’m not sure how they could get away with forcing people to sign or else. Sharia is not the law in the USA and NO ONE has to obey any of it anywhere here. This should be immediately stopped because it is in direct opposition to USA laws. A community for only certain people cannot be legal to build and restrict who lives there either. Where is Governor Huckabee?
‘No-go zones’ are delineated boundaries where Muslims establish and strictly recognize their own sharia laws. All businesses therein are
Muslim businesses.
This practice has gone unchallenged. If you are not Muslim you simply ‘no go’ there! I don’t think they can legally force others to vacate, but they can certainly make outsiders very uncomfortable if they choose to stay.
The Hasidic Jewish community essentially does the same thing, although they don’t threaten outsiders. They merely choose to live, work and transact business with fellow travelers. Their storefront signage is all in Hebrew, the children attend Hebrew schools, etc.
The Amish have generally shunned outsiders in their insulated communities as well. It is interesting to note that both the Hasidic Jews and the Amish basically ignored Covid lockdowns and refused poison death shots. So freedom of religion definitely has it’s upside, as long as you don’t go around terrorizing people of a different faith. And Hasidics and Amish are heavily MAGA. I was amazed to see both Hasidic and Amish MAGA caravans at election time.
The question seems to be whether or not Islam is a genuine religion whose practices are in fact protected under the US Constitution.
The ENTIRE Bannonite crowd is a bunch of grifting intelligence operatives selling you something that isn’t true so they can maintain the status quo after they destroy Trump.
It’s the worst combination of greed, corruption, and intelligence shaping out their right now.
They built your trust during the interregnum under the Biden Junta.
They built in distrust and played on your skepticism to make you feel intelligent.
They produce “content” non-stop to keep you glued to their shadow play they project on the cave wall.
And when Trump won they took credit for it.
But the minute the reality of the situation on Capitol Hill existed, the backbiting began. Starting with the low-levels guys (Barnes, Frei, Massie) and it built all last year
Tucker weaved it into his guest list.
Candace went off the deep end.
They platform stenorious sounding experts, former military and intelligence ‘analysts,’ and create literal morons like Brandon Weichart and Rich Baris out of whole cloth.
It’s a circle jerk to keep you in the cave. It’s a technique as old as the hills.
And now, they are trying to tell you that the US militay is incapable of blowing up a handful of F-4s, some Catamarans, and missile silos.
Remember, folks, 10 years ago they wanted you to believe that we can read license plates from space but we couldn’t find a convoy of Toyota Hiluxes with chain guns mounted in the trunk and blow them up with, well, anything in our arsenal.
We just had to accept that ISIS was here forever.
Same with the IRGC. Same grift, different decade, same assholes.
Don’t hate me because I was right about every single one of these grifting assholes. If you need to hate anyone hate the guy in the mirror who you’re really mad at.
The video is worth a watch too…
Another trick is to weave in and out of our good graces. We don’t immediately follow when they attack Trump. So to keep us in the cave, they weave back to do something we support.
“their right now” is also OUR RIGHT NOW…
discernment is key.
Be Leary of all of them….some are going after the podcasters that have the largest audience, Bannon is quite often targeted because he does have various opinions aired on his show…voices that dont reflect his or your opinion. What I have a problem with is Bannon is he obviously wants to protect his access and sources that connect to the WH.
Just curious, there are many people referred to here that have been solid for years with support of MAGA and Pres. Trump. Rich Baris being one of the most unbiased pollsters I’ve watched for a number of years, seems pretty on course.
This is a large group mentioned so if they are all shysters and fakes, who do you think we should put trust in for information besides Pres. Trump and Sundance? The circle of trustworthy support seems to be closing rapidly if all this is to be believed.
I put my full faith and trust in a righteous God. Everything else falls neatly into place from that perspective. I’m being very serious.
I never listened to Bannon or any of these so-called CONservative, narrative engineers. Although I did enjoy Candace for a nanosecond, because we do need blacks to refute BLM and women to refute feminism, etc.. so I was hopeful.
Oh well..
I find their belligerent posturing to be inauthentic and quite patronizing. And I never desired to open a social media account, never had a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Yet, I’m on top of everything, my support for President Trump has never wavered, and I don’t get sidetracked by all the fake news look squirrels.
So I must be doing
*something* right.
This Brandon Weichart {?} dude is on Bannon all the time. I absolutely turn him off now. Also, it is becoming increasingly hard to watch Bannon also. I liked most of his guests. This guy is a clown.
Thank goodness this is being called out. I thought it was me.

I agree with 99% of what is presented here in this podcast – for those who want to be equipped during these difficult times – this is a good listen about Spiritual Warfare, demonic possession, demonic influence, and witchcraft – how it works, what are its limits, and how to combat it.
I’ve witnessed personally some of what Father Ripperger describes here – up close and personal – and once you see it – you know exactly what it is. It is part of what’s overcoming my own daughter – who was raised a solid and strong Christian. It is my prayer that she is building her testimony and ultimately she will break free and become stronger in faith than ever before.
It’s Tucker Carlson – so if you have issue with him – anyone can be used to further God’s Kingdom. I appreciate anyone who is bringing this valuable information forward. If God felt it important that 25% of His Bible is about evil – then it’s worth a listen!

I will check into it!
Air dominance has nothing to do with anti-aircraft fire or the losses that it can incur. The USAF considers air dominance to be the highest level of air superiority, when air assets can operate without meaningful opposition from enemy air forces. What this means is that the enemy will choose not to confront your air assets at all and will instead run like the wind, as has currently occurred in Iran.
This does not mean that the enemy is totally helpless. If they possess anti-aircraft cannon and missiles, as the Iranians do, they can shoot down attacking aircraft, as we saw on Friday. But what does this have to do with air dominance? Absolutely nothing.
Will we see further U.S. aircraft shot down? It’s possible, even likely. The downing of the F-15E will temper the cockiness of pilots — endemic in the military air community — and assure that missions are planned and carried out with more care and thoroughness than might otherwise have been the case.
It will also assure some very bad days for Iranian anti-aircraft personnel. But any implication that the mullahs can recover the initiative in the air war is nonsense, despite what all the hand wringers want you to believe.
He really should stick to physics, it’s what he’s good at.
Sh*t happens in combat, even as an Infantryman we where trained to shot down aircraft with M16’s, it all about leading the target, one man may not do much but a squad or platoon shooting at a aircraft coming straight at them could bring down a plane, especially if their was a couple of M249 SAW’s or a couple of M60’s in the mix.

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every “Trump is reckless” argument permanently.
“Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran’s nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting.”
Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs.
He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%.
He chose to act knowing his own base would split.
He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help.
He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike.
A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: “The difference between Trump and every president before him isn’t intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage.”
Read that again.
Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something.

Kittanning, PA: ICE pulled off an absolute masterclass. They notified two rigs packed with illegal aliens that their CDLs were expiring today, lured them right in…then swooped in and detained dozens on the spot.
So illegals are still able to evade the Border Patrol at the border?
No – they are still working on all the ones that flooded across during the reign of the Autopen…
Kamala Harris-Jezebel is rallying Democratic donors to oppose “additional justices” that might be nominated by President Donald Trump “before they happen.” Harris is heralding the fundraising by Josh Orton, president of the dark-money group “Demand Justice” (made infamous for its campaign to get Justice Stephen Breyer to resign). Demand Justice has pushed a radical agenda, including court packing.
In a post on X, Harris manipulation, idolatry, and ruthless ambition highlighted a New York Times article on the “liberal organization” “preparing a multimillion–dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen.”
Orton announced that “the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred.” The group expressly cited the possibility of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito retiring.

It says everything about the left that they are marshaling millions to oppose an as yet unneeded and hence unnamed potential nominee. It doesn’t matter who President Trump would nominate, they oppose.
Just like it doesn’t matter what he does, they oppose.
I’ll be Captain Obvious.
This is just another open admission of biased judicial activism.
The pretending that judges are neutral interpreters of the law is long gone except for John Roberts and his “there are no Obama judges”.

God created all animals big and small, each with a purpose – just as you have one. Many governments think they know better than God. Many transhumanists intentionally want to destroy His creation.
Let’s be clear about what the Ruminati are, because the name was chosen for us by a newsletter that meant it as a criticism and we kept it.
Gerald is a bull. He eats grass on land that has been permanent pasture since 1763. The grass converts sunlight and rain into protein. Gerald converts the grass into beef, manure, and seven wildflower species in a south corner that had none of them before he arrived. His methane is the carbon that was in the grass two weeks ago and will be back in the grass in twelve years. This has been the arrangement for the entirety of cattle domestication and the net carbon position of British permanent pasture over that period is: improving.
Doris is a ewe. She eats fell grass that grows on land too steep, too thin, too wet, and too acidic for any crop ever suggested by anyone who has actually looked at it. She maintains the open sward structure that forty-seven plant communities and three red-listed bird species depend on. Without her, the fell becomes purple moor grass. It has been tested. There is a control fell. The control fell has been ungrazed since 2004. The control fell has purple moor grass and no skylarks.
Keith is a goat. He eats the things Gerald and Doris won’t touch: bramble, knotweed, dock, thistle, rush, ivy stems, and whatever is happening in Steve’s garden. His rumen handles tannins and oxalates that would damage a dog’s liver. He converts material that would otherwise advance unchecked across the British countryside into cheese, manure, and a net outcome column that has been positive on every row since entry seventeen.
They are not destroying the planet.
They are the planet.
This distinction has been available in every field in Britain since before the policy documents existed.
Nobody thought to look in the fields.
The fields are still there.
This Easter, if you don’t already know it – try to discern your purpose. If you do know it, give thanks and make a commitment to it.

“…What makes the “Fraud Czar” designation especially interesting —beyond the extraordinarily satisfying Somalia beware!— is its structural elegance. It’s not a commission. It’s not a task force. It’s not a ‘working group’ empowered to study and recommend future best practices.
It’s a high-octane demolition machine with a named champion: the Vice President of the United States, who is personally accountable for a specific outcome, named on Truth Social in all-caps. JD’s entire future political career will now be defined by the measure of his anti-fraud success. (No pressure, JD.)

So, in ten weeks, CMS has quietly pulled the plugs on 221 fake hospice outfits in Los Angeles alone— compared to only four canceled by Gavin Newsom in all of California over the last four years. And CMS plans to audit every single hospice in California by the end of the year.
Dr. Oz in ten weeks accomplished what Newsom couldn’t manage in an entire gubernatorial term. Though, to be fair, Newsom was busy running for president.
🔥 The first remarkable political insight is that Trump is reclaiming the healthcare issue for Republicans. For decades, Democrats campaigned by terrorizing seniors, claiming “Republicans want to take away your Medicare and push grandma over the cliff!”
But now, the roles have swapped. Democrats are defending a system rife with fraud while Republicans are trying to fix it.
…
We’re watching all three legs of the Democrats’ fundraising stool be sawn off: USAID, ActBlue, and charity/NGO fraud. Follow the money. The Democrats could be looking not just at a fundraising gap, but at a financial extinction event that would make the dinosaurs nod sympathetically.

Let’s check in on the sneering intellectual titans over at The New York Times, a newspaper that arrogantly calls itself the official “Paper of Record,” which means it records things, much in the same way seismographs record earthquakes, except seismographs are occasionally accurate.

US special forces enter Iran to rescue downed airman
Iran allowed a French ship through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The Kribi is a Malta-flagged ship owned by French logistics company CMA CGM.
It is one of a number of ships that Iran has allowed to pass in recent days. They belong to nations that have either played no part in the war or which have moved to prevent the US using their airspace or bases.
The move came a day after Emmanuel Macron openly criticised Mr Trump.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-special-forces-enter-iran-to-rescue-downed-airman/ar-AA205z1S
I would sincerely like to know exactly WHO anyone is talking to in Iran to get these permissions, and WHY anyone would think they are talking to anyone who could actually CONTROL access thru the Strait.
It came shortly after France joined Russia and China in vetoing a US proposition in the UN Security Council.
Read that again – closely. France, a supposed NATO and western ally – joined CHINA and Russia to veto a US proposition regarding the Straight of Hormuz.
Can you spot what’s wrong with this headline?

Trump Says ‘Hell Will Reign Down’ on Iran If It Doesn’t Reopen Strait of Hormuz Soon
Was this an intentional by President Trump?
“Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!”
Good grief….
The editor needs to grab the rains!
Gipper…that would be “reins”…don’t offend an old horsey type…LOL!
I’ll see myself out….
Will the North American Treaty Organization help?
A quote of Al Jazeera, rain vs Reign:
“…Trump had warned “all hell will rain down” on Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Monday, ”
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/4/4/iran-war-live-tehran-downs-2-us-warplanes-israel-bombs-lebanon-bridges
They are quoting exactly what President Trump wrote:
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116346816254869135
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Misspellings matter.

“Deindustrialization was not inevitable.”
Pormethian Action vid, cued to Rubio quote.
Also, quote from Mr. Victoria Nuland at 13:40.
More positive indicators for the increasing momentum in rebuilding the US manufacturing and industrial base.
The American Manufacturing Renaissance is happening.
We are now getting confirmation from multiple freight and supply chain datasets that the industrial recovery is real and manufacturing is on course to enjoy one of the best markets in years.
The domestic freight market strength is not just capacity – its an industrial renaissance bringing real volumes to the freight industry.
Its not just trucking data – the railroads are seeing strong volumes, with shipments up 4.5% YoY. Rail volumes are more stable than trucking, so this level of increase in remarkable.
Carloads, excluding coal, are at the strongest March since 2008, and chemical shipments are the highest levels ever measured.
Other datasets, which track trucking but lag SONAR’s high frequency data, are also reporting strength.
Truckstop – “Highest load board postings since 2022.”
ATA Truck Tonnage index – “Highest levels in 3 years”
BoA Shipper Survey – “18% increase YoY and highest since 2022”
ISM Manufacturing PMI – “Highest levels in 3 years”
Bottom line: Flatbed + rail strength confirm that the US is experiencing some of the strongest industrial signals in years.
Thank you for finding all this good manufacturing news, Harrison! It is amazing to see it all happen so quickly too!
Interesting potential proposal…
I would really like to know exactly WHO in Iran actually has the power to enforce “permission” to sail the Strait……
….and who EXACTLY would anyone send a check to for any toll?
A touch of humor, featuring PDJT, Tulsi, Pete, Elon, AOC, and special appearances by the Limbo Loonies.
PT should say absolutely not, but I will swear TT is the biggest POS I’ve encountered in awhile.
Just a preposterous claims and an insult thinking his voters and conservatives have such low IQ’s to believe this bs.
Traditional Conservatives like Tillis, especially in this moment in time.
I understand why MAGA does not like him.
He’s not too far off.
He’s loony as a bedbug – and neocons and uniparty adherents can pound sand.

I was there and lived through this…because of high level intelligence operations (one of which I was running) we had learned that the North Koreans had at least 4 viable nuclear warheads in the early 90s- and instead of taking action to stop further building of bombs, the @BillClinton admin pretended to not know (I know for a fact Clinton knew since I was outside the briefing room when he was told) and allowed North Korea to proceed and expand it’s nuclear weapon production…@realDonaldTrump decided we could not pretend to not know and allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons – weapons I do believe they, Iran, would have used…

Let’s keep praying for our President:
“Deranged liberals cook up insane conspiracy theories when @POTUS goes 12 hours without speaking to press.
(They said nothing when Biden routinely went 12 days without speaking to press)
Fear not! President Trump literally never stops working.”

In all fairness, most Americans don’t like their Presidents in the news all the time. It usually harms public perception, too.
(feel free to research that on your own)
They do though like them to be able to walk without falling over, not have conversations with invisible people, or have to be rescued from speaking to the press by aides disguised as the Easter Bunny. Oh, and it helps if they can understand what they’re saying without the MSM interpreting them and be aware of things they sign into law.
Well, since you already did, why don’t you post your results?
