In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Posted last night in the wrong thread:
As the results of PDJT strategy become clear and the fruits start flowing, I see something else coming in the horizon:
I have long felt that PDJT could not alone save the USA. He has to have help. Yes we have > 81 million people behind PDJT, but we are not exerting power effectively. Most don’t even understand fully what is going on. In addition, the country is riddled with a highly metastatic cancer of traitors, seditionists, parasites, and enemies. There are too many well paid bad actors in every aspect of our government, and in corporate America.
There are too many ineffective citizens who are hopelessly dependent on handouts from government.
Thats what I thought and what discouraged me.
But much of this enemy activity from within is being paid for and supported: Soros doesn’t give money, he redirected our taxpayer money into seditious activity. China and Russia peddle influence. Lobbyists influence legislators. Many sources control information and education of our citizens. USAID, Grants, Woke, Green, Diversity, DEI, paid district attorneys and judges. CIA, FBI, TSA.
The good news: Much of this money is drying up. The laundering machines of Ukraine, USAID, Blue city fraud, protection rackets: That money is being rapidly cut off. Just like China is worried about having its oil cut off and told Iran to negotiate if good faith with PDJT — the paid grifters, wolves in sheep clothing, communists, MSM, Muslims — all will have their funding exposed and cut off.
This will force true american citizens to find the rewards of hard work, the Constitution, the Constitutional republic, the free market economy, and the American Dream.
Let us keep praying. God is Good.
DEFINITELY!
“Let us keep praying. GOD is Good.“
Keep the FAITH!
BLESSINGS everyone this rainy Indiana weekend!
Please send some of that sweet rain down to South Carolina! 😫
Amen
Rain here in Tennessee. Hope it heads your way 🙏
I’ve been thinking along somewhat parallel lines. If there is less money to push hard left ideology, I don’t think there are nearly as many people that would be hard core leftists without that. A lot of people are influenced more than they realize by the culture — or at least their perception of culture as defined by the media and entertainment industries. With less of that, how many hard core leftists are there by nature?
In particular, women tend to be extremely tribal. No one enforces social mores with a ruthlessness like women. You can tell what tribe a woman is in by the “uniform” she is wearing. If young impressionable women are hearing less and less from the culture that the “correct” thing is to be LGBXYZ radicals, they will gravitate more towards normality. As always, Treeper women are an exception.
Hard core leftism is a luxury. Normal people generally can’t afford it unless they are being subsidized.
Imho, they would still be left. However, they only want to blend other people’s money, never their own.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money, as famously stated by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. This highlights the unsustainable nature of relying on government handouts without addressing the underlying financial responsibilities.
One of the premises behind the Cloward-Piven strategy; they’re counting on the money running out.
They plan to be in control of what’s left.
If you don’t mind can you expand a bit on that – counting on the money running out – strategy?
I’ll look it up as well but perhaps you’ve distilled it a bit already, thank you.
I tried but I have been having problems with this site only for quite awhile. I type something and just when I am ready to send the page reloads and disappears all that I wrote.
Short version. See that debt we’re in as a nation – all of us? The founding fathers never dreamed the stupid things we spend money on. (Some not stupid.). They did not create a system to accommodate that spending. All these years none of our “elect” has forced accountability but they all have pet pigs. All the grifters have the means to fly away when accountability happens. I don’t. Do you?
We’re intentionally being bankrupted. All the illegals know it. For most of them coming here and taking advantage of freebies that truly needy citizens can’t get – this is a political act for them. They’ve been taught well before they came here. We even paid for their teaching.
Would you respect a people whose own government is stabbing them in the back for the whole world to see? Would you assimilate with that group? They literally kill us in the streets and our liberal judges tell them they did a good job and send them out to do it again.
They did a great job of overwhelming the system and we always pay for it, now we will pay big.
Look up a video from one of the days when the electricity or the EBT cards are not working in a southern state Wal-Mart, and multiply the ensuing chaos by the rest of the country.
I have stated many times that the corporate over the air media needs to be taken down. Think about how many people out there barely get news headlines let alone deep analysis we see here. Yet these people vote, or don’t vote based on lies and misdirection from 5 minutes of ABC, CBS, and NBC.
One solution would be a conservative buys one of the broadcast major networks and starts providing both sides of issues. Another would be to force PBS and NPR off their perch by taking away the names they still use. The FCC could then form a consortium that allows all the emerging media to manage the time and give all of the small start ups an opportunity to report. That would be real public broadcasting, not the lies from our current placeholders.
I don’t know how this site shows to others but sometimes I spend way too much time trying to upvote comments that I like because the site simply won’t let me consistently. Or I read a thread and start liking what people wrote, get called away and when I get back the votes are even less than when I originally voted and I have to upvote all over again. Sometimes I wonder if people are having same experience or are frustrated that they worked so hard to write something but it looks like only 2 people read it and I know that’s not true.
I appreciate your optimism. I tend to be a glass-half-full person but after 70+ years I am also a realist. I have learned to avoid the sewage that is spewed by the major networks and will not contribute to their ill-gotten ratings. I know I am just one person among millions but if more people would boycott these rotten purveyors of lies and garbage, they would hopefully be driven out of power and business. That may be wishful thinking or even naivety but we can’t let these media whores nail another nail in this country’s coffin.
Well that makes two of us, at least. Real life is so much more interesting when our heads aren’t filled with all that fake news garbage.
And I never joined social media because I’m much more interested in real life interactions.
I stopped reading at 81 million, admittedly. Numbers are very important.
Trump received a lot of Left-leaning votes this past election cycle because of Israel. Those supporters are gone – that train left the station a while ago.
I’ve been seeing MAGA polling lately saying that 70% approve of Trump. Of course MAGA polling is going to boost its own. Let’s say that number is actually 50% just to be conservative. I guarantee you it’s a lot lower. So you’re talking 40 million people, max. I bet it’s closer to 25-30 million people, objectively speaking.
My long-winded point is this – how do you expect to “exert power effectively” when MAGA is an even bigger minority in the country now when looking at the entire electorate (170 million+ eligible to vote)?
Manage your expectations.
Get thee behind me, satan.

😎😁
Yup. That’s how President Trump thinks. He always says, “manage your expectations”…. Well, maybe not.
Some thoughts on the best place to exercise power.
Love Mel K!
Thanks for that. It took of two of y’all to get me to check her out.
More bitter medicine for what ales us.
Mel: “I have a book coming out “Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed 1944 to 1954”.
And a lot of this happened during World War II and the Dulles brothers were very involved. Two Wall Street lawyers who ended up, I believe, turning our State Department, CIA, USAID into a part of this supra national global public private partnership, international banking architecture above nations. And to me, that is the EU. That is who they work for. They do not work for the nations inside of Europe. And what’s very sad at this point is they look a lot more like the USSR right now than I think most people realize. …
Didn’t Obama and them overthrow a duly-elected president in Ukraine in 2014 because that president wanted to normalize relations with Russia and not go the way of NATO and EU. Is that really what happened there?
Steven Kuhn: “That’s part of it. Victoria Nuland was a big part of that, you know, and the other one was is that they needed a $500 million loan and the IMF offered it with interest and Russia offered it without interest and he chose Russia and then a few days later he was unseated.”
Mel: “Right. That’s because the International Banking Cartel still runs the world. And you know, it’s crazy. I always say, and people don’t know this either, the BIS IMF, World Bank, all the banks under them have some kind of immunity that they can’t be audited or investigated. There’s this International Organization immunity act of 1945 that is still in place and it’s also covers the UN and all that. So, it’s like they’re in plain sight, but if you don’t look at it and you live in America, you have no idea what has happened to this country. ” …….
ps; Kuhn stresses involvement in local government.
Oh yes, Allen Douchebag, the ex-Swiss OSS director who became the first civilian director of central intelligence. Haven’t heard that name in a long time. He oversaw Project MKUltra but had to resign after his failed Bay of Pigs invasion to retake Cuba. It’s not hard to understand why he was recalled to serve on the Warren Commission coverup of what actually happened to Kennedy. Looking forward to getting a copy of your book off Barnes & Noble when it is published.
I’m not even 8 minutes into this and I’m getting sick to my stomach metaphorically do I’m taking a 2 min brake before it’s no longer metaphorical. Between the rundown of Europe since WWII and the Dulles brothers etc. here….. yikes.
Ok, going back under now
Lucky for us, the Democrats are falling apart. They are punch drunk, their NGOs are being dismantled, DEI is dying, fraud is being exposed everywhere, and their leaders are completely out of touch. So while MAGA makes up 50% of Republican voters, our odds are still better in a fractured Democrat field. Blue Dog conservative Democrats are coming to Trump saying “my party is bat-sh crazy”
“They are punch drunk, their NGOs are being dismantled…”
As we well know, Schumer, Schiff, Blumenthal, Nadler and Ratkin aren’t living on $200k a year with homes in Arlington, Georgetown and Brooklyn, Greenwich and Suburban Los Angeles plus children in Harvard and Yale. Boasberg and Garland weren’t supporting a millionaires’s lifestyle on the government salary for federal judges.
They all have wives, children and other relatives with climate change, illegal immigration or DEI NGOs being funded by the federal government with millions of dollars!
Under normal circumstances, the Democrats would be starting to revive on the strength of Trump’s failing to deliver on many of his domestic promises such as not just stopping but actually removing the up to twenty million illegal aliens wandering the country (the actual number varies by source), and the GOP’s “big beautiful” removal of millions of U.S. citizens from Medicaid when they become sick and lose their job because of it or are caught between jobs without Medicaid, thirty year student loans, fifty year mortgages, etc. and so forth as they continue to try and figure out how to get around Trump to import more foreign workers and send more jobs out of the country.
But Democrat Party leadership is at the lowest its ever been in since the end of the Civil War. I mean it is rock bottom. Chuck Schumer, the Democrat Senate Minority leader, is polling at under forty percent favorability in his own district. AOC is under fifty percent favorability. A lot the old guard is leaving Congress and the new guard (e.g. Salwell, Newsome, etc.) are unpopular.
Meaning, despite the rank-and-file GOP legislatures harming poor independent and Republican voters, as well as the bottom rung of the blue collar working class voters, they have a chance.
The 2020 Census reported that there were 60+ millions of illegal invaders in the USA…
And way more than that in their anchor spawn.
LOL!!!
Good try, but you failed.
I gave it a 0;
the beat was boring and you couldn’t dance to it.
Hey, he’s managing his expectations!!! Out of thin air.
It’s 80/20.
Y’all are the 20.
Regardless what your Ministry of Truth tells you.
You are getting tiresome…
Long on opinions, Short on facts.
You know what they say about opinions ……. and everybody has one!
I stopped reading at “Midland PE”
Tell that to Minnesotans who just got robbed of $19 billion through FRAUD and $18 billion that disappeared from state surplus.
How many arrests and pending prosecutions so far? Inquiring minds want to know!
Then do some research. There are plenty, plus convictions.
They need to denaturalize the Somalis and deport them back to Somalia. They should never have been imported in the first place.
Also having the party in control to refuse to even acknowledge the fraud or look into it beside a cursory glance. They instead focus attention on bathhouses and giving more money away to the havenots.
It’s called buying votes, allowing rampant theft of government money while looking the other way and taking kickbacks.
I stopped reading at the first word you wrote, communist. Don’t feed the troll.
And what policies do the Democrats offer to improve the American electorate and the country?
Fill the country with illegal aliens and lavish benefits on them?
They offer nothing but destructive policies. One only needs to look at NYC and CA for confirmation.
People aren’t as stupid as you think and MAGA isn’t going to surrender through apathy!
You doomers are loathsome.
Can you support your assertions? You give reasons why it is less than 81 million in your speculation, but there is data out there to suggest differently — and not just in the MAGA leaning pollsters.
You stopped reading at 81 million, yet took the time to tear down that stat. You probably missed the more important points of my post, which makes your post even less credible.
Here is an article on Townhall.com titled:
When Dissent Becomes Sabotage: The Rise of the Counter-MAGA Fifth Column.
https://townhall.com/columnists/johnnantz/2026/04/17/when-dissent-becomes-sabotage-the-rise-of-the-counter-maga-n2674602#google_vignette
A group of MAGA Influencers now operate in opposition to Trump’s agenda. Add these to the RINO’s in Congress and you have a President working his rear off for little long term results. None of his American First “Original Policies” have been codified into legislation. Only the standard legislation passed by Congress each year.
No one is protesting against the Uniparty in Congress when the GOP has both houses and a GOP President yet no actual changes occur in Congress.
I agree with your statement – “Manage Your Expectations”.
I think we are talking 90% conservative thinking to 10% democrat thinking.
Trump received a lot of Left-leaning votes this past election cycle because of Israel.
LOL. Give us a break.
how do you expect to “exert power effectively”
The leftists do it. You think all the anti police, transgender freaks, race baiters, communists, and all the other democrat fringe groups are a majority?
Lol!!
Good morning, Debbie Downer.
If what you say were true, then there would not be such an effort to try and split Trumps support.
The energy and money would be spent elsewhere.
Trolling this morning didn’t work so trolling this afternoon too?
Well to get an A for effort, but an F for accomplishment.
Take some Imodium AD
Does the PE stand for psychic exhaustion, which it what we’re experiencing with your downer posts?
The Blob intentionally taxed, regulated, manipulated, coerced and betrayed American citizens into needing government assistance in the first place. It is not just some moral failure of the public.
That Wicked Agenda of Big Government Communists must first be defeated, not simply cutting benefits to people who were made to need them for the Control Agenda of the Leviathan State.
I like your optimism, but I can’t help feeling that all the good things you mention go right out the door the minute a communist is back in the White House. And it will happen. I don’t want to rain on the parade, but I have thought for years that the only way this ends is through confrontation. Evil will not subside on its own. It must be confronted and destroyed, at least as much as humans are capable of destroying it. Past generations understood this, and we prospered from that understanding. But I don’t think we, here and now, really do.
My optimism isn’t blind to the awareness that the Trump presidency will end. That does not take away the cause for gratitude and optimism now. We will not rest on our laurels.
What are your plans for this contingency? How are you contributing? Do you not see the growing and solid MAGA team? The awakening MAGA populace, the degree of seriously engaged and actively learning US population.
There are many places in the reality of the US to camp in misery and doomsaying — but the needle is moving in the right direction. Momentum is gaining.
Don’t just land on the negative. As soon as you spot a negative, make a contribution to compensate and plan for growth — first for you and your spirit, then for those immediately around you. Then share what you are learning and the skills you are developing.
I am not doomsaying, I am being realistic. And realism and history tell me that evil must be confronted, it can’t be wished away. I admire your optimistic spirit, and like you I believe that our numbers in the MAGA camp are increasing, not declining.
But experience has taught me that those who wish to do us harm must be stopped – physically if necessary. There is no avoiding this confrontation, it is inevitable, it has always been. It is not possible for good people to indefinitely share a country with people who worship evil. The only thing that is variable is the timing of it.
Both of you have been and are consistently great commenters. Different opinions while sharing the same core convictions are appreciated. Thanks guys.
I agree, brother.
I pray that one day that forces for good of the same disruptive power as operation Fury are unleashed in overpowering force against the network of traitorous toxins here on our home soil. Vengeance is mine, says, my Lord — but I want it now.
Yes I manage my expectaions: Learn to abase and abound. I’m prepared to be in prison, a concentration camp, or tortured. I’m prepared to charge a hill or assume a mission in which my life is sacrificed.
One day at a time, I accept the manna, follow the cloud by day and fire by night, pray, look to the wise counsel of peers, and seek to lay my head down spent, grateful, and blessed.
On target as usual, thanks for your thoughtful posts. Let’s pray more Americans take the path you described.
There is a way to mow the lawn. You look at each Federal Court district as a square on a checkers board. Inside that square are several counties, cities in those counties. You pull a trusted, knowledgeable people within each square. The fewer, the better. Sometimes it has to be a person with knowledge of several generations either direct or piece together from close sources. Many times people will unknowingly serve up a missing part of a very important puzzle.
After studying 3 different jurisdictions, 3 different states, one I have extensive knowledge. The other two I just happened to find myself having the good fortune of meeting a similar people such as myself.
While not identical business models, too close to ignore. In many cases the paper trails are hiding in plain site. Others you have to work for the serious proof but it is there. The people profiting at far too many others expense, are usually a can of worms of nepotism hiding on main street.
Collect as many “political fundraising” invitations as possible, try to go back over the last 15 to 20 years (internet has its advantages). If you start comparing the contributors, the pattern becomes obvious. Curious enough, most “non profits” in the same jurisdiction, have the same names on their invite sponsor list.
These are not a donation but a purchase.
Treat the players like the top of a flow chart in a company.
The structure is not even hiding in most county courthouses. Bench, Clerks, Tax Collectors. Are there honest people in those positions. Yes but they are few and far between. In many cases the honest ones are there playing a roll of being the honest one.
Sundance and the TCTH has people everywhere. I bet you know more about your district than you think.
Good advice and plan. I copied for reference
Thanks Doc. Lotsa clarity there. Let us Definitely continue to pray and give thanks to our Lord for all that He does for this United States. Happy Saturday Treepers. God bless
Terry Anderson On Illegal Aliens in South Central
“That “civil rights leaders” are silent about the dispossession of the black working class, that unions are not marching to denounce this sellout of blue-collar and white-collar America, only tells us that the amorality of the transnational corporation has infected both. Solidarity be damned, it is all about money now.”
— State of Emergency-Pat Buchanan
A slow genocide.
“In 1960, the U.S. population was 89% white. By 1990, it was 76%. Today, it is under 70%. By 2050, white Americans, the most loyal voting bloc the Republican Party has, that provides 90% of all GOP votes, will be just another minority because of an immigration policy championed by Republicans. When John Stuart Mill called the Tories “the Stupid Party,” he was not entirely wrong.”
— State of Emergency-Pat Buchanan
It’s all purposeful! The Immigration of 1965 gave preference in legal immigration to POC from third world hellholes!! The browning of America continues unabated! The belief of white liberals is that if whites become a minority and POC take over and run everything then racism will no longer exist and all of the ills of society will disappear!! This liberal Pollyanna approach to racism is bound to fail, one just has to look at South Africa to see the failure of such a policy.
Joe Biden BBD (Before Body Doubles).
Mark Dice
They Can’t Ignore It Anymore!
Where’s ICE?
Help them by deporting them.
Fix our 1965 immigration law.
Return to all immigrants must have a sponsor and must attest they will not be a burden on taxpayers.
No benefits for illegals.
ICE removal of Carbon footprints means they along with PDJT’s policies are really protecting our environment & lowering US Globull Warming Green House Gas emissions. Immigration has always been the Achilles Heel of the fraudulent hijacked environmental movement. I have constantly pointed this out and exposed their hypocrisy and lies. They are not protecting the environment, they are destroying it with their support of mass immigration legal & illegal. Green is the new Red especially their alliance with Islam which is a puppet of the Globalists.
Where’s ICE?
It’s 2 years old.
The belief of white liberals is that they will get to remain in power and rule over all the illegal immigrants who they think will keep voting for them. At some point, reality will slap them upside the head and maybe then they will quit pretending.
That’s when the decline begins in earnest like is happening in South Africa until it finally bottoms out like it has in Zimbabwe.
I came across this, earlier and…I don’t care who is next to me…but I do care that there is no violence, that there are manners, that there are law abiding traits…that take care of their children and pets…
I care that my culture, which is rooted in the belief “That all men are CREATED equal and endowed BY THEIR CREATOR with certain INALIENABLE RIGHTS” and that governments are instituted among men to secure those rights, and that whenever any government reaches a state of tyranny, we have a duty to replace it, that these statements remain the foundation of the country of my birth.
Those statements, by the way, are a religious statements as much as a statement of political philosophy.
A Creator – One God (not shamanist, Buddhist, or any other polytheistic religion)
Who creates all men equal (no preferred tribe, class, or bloodlines and therefore not Judaism, at least not the kind that continues to claim God created some more equal than others on this earth in a way significant to earthly claims and that that that status continued after the Resurrection)
Who endows us with rights neither the institutional church nor the state can take away (not Islam, nor divine right of kings style Catholicism).
Basically, this country was formed as a non-denominational Protestant country, and its political philosophy was downstream of the culture of its population in 1776, as heavily influenced by George Whitefield and the Great Awakening (The institutionalists in the Church of England hated him).
The large influx of European Catholics in the 1800’s created cultural conflicts as a result, but those were largely resolved as Catholics became mostly culturally assimilated into the Protestant ethic.
That cannot, and will not, be the same result with a large influx of polytheistic Indians, adherents of Islam,or any other group that simply cannot become culturally (if not religiously) Protestant.
It doesn’t matter if they are law abiding. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
When a teacher gets push back from a first generation Indian father for telling a child who got her feelings hurt to turn the other cheek, because that is a Christian principle, that push back is a cultural wound being inflicted on this country in real time.
For those who will cry freedom of religion, freedom of conscience — wake up.
Those are Protestant beliefs. There is no freedom of religion in Islam. There is no freedom of religion in the Russian Federation. There is no freedom of religion in Mexico (check out what happened there when the socialists took over in the 1930’s). There is no freedom of religion in China in any meaningful sense. There is no freedom of religion in Hindu controlled areas of India.
No cultural Protestantism => no freedom of religion. No liberty.
Liberty in this country is downstream of culture, and culture is downstream of people.
Let’s turn back to our foundational principles. Let us return to a God fearing country that celebrates the Ten Commandments, freedom of conscience, the walling off of the state from interfering with or infringing on the exercise of religion, and a limited government confined to a small but necessary cage.
I could not agree more…your wisdom is in the details…which I neglected. But there was this…:
My grandmother would also tell of stories, from her early NYC/Bronx days…”Irish Need Not Apply”….
“Those are Protestant beliefs…”
No, these were and are Catholic beliefs:
“In the face of persecution early in the third century, the Christian theologian and apologist Tertullian wrote a letter to Scapula, the proconsul at Carthage. In his letter, Tertullian presented a new idea in a world of religious conformity and coercion. Tertullian introduced the world to religious liberty.
“We are worshippers of one God,” he told Scapula. “You think that others, too, are gods, whom we know to be devils.” (Tact was apparently not Tertullian’s strong suit.) In light of those religious differences, he went on to say:
… it is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions: one man’s religion neither harms nor helps another man. It is assuredly no part of religion to compel religion—to which free will and not force should lead us—the sacrificial victims even being required of a willing mind. ”
Excerpt From
The Liberty Threat: The Attack on Religious Freedon in America Today – James Tonkowich
“Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullian (155-245 A.D.) was born to pagan parents in Carthage, North Africa between 155-160 A.D. A lawyer by profession, he converted to Christianity in 193 A.D. and became a Catholic apologist until 212 A.D., when he succumbed to the Montanist heresy (among other beliefs they held that sins committed after baptism could not be forgiven and practiced a severe asceticism).” (Ref: https://www.catholicfaithandreason.org/tertullian-155-245-ad.html)
Interesting.
He wasn’t lacking in tact, just speaking the truth : )
I did not know that was a named heresy either. If that were true, heaven would have a population of exactly one Man. Yeesh.
Minor detail … until about 2022 … a rather large portion of the “Hispanic” category were actually counted as “WHITE” due to time in the US as well as being (as they say in Spanish) mestizo or mixed race.
It is that same rather large mestizo segment of the “Hispanic” category that is in favor immigration controls and reforms, which Congress refuses to address.
They’re still counted as white … when they’re arrested.
Terry Anderson in the clip posted above actually said “I want to look out for my race.” In public. On record.
If a white person said that it would be on the news 24/7.
The term “racist,” coined by the Marxists early in the 20th century, has been used as a cudgel to keep us from acknowledging that diversity is NOT our strength, it is destroying us. Our race. Our culture. Our legal system. Our safety. Our Republic.
It’s considered a terrible faux pas to point it out, but it is very sad to those of us descended from civilized Europeans that our peoples are being killed and outbred. We all have the natural human inclination to want our people to survive.
Instead we’ve been forced to pay for our destruction – and shut up about it.
Best comment.
It’s not Luisiana, but Louisiana. If you can’t spell the content, why should I believe what you say?
spelling most important, or is it font, or is it ideas, or is it…bill
Of course, I agree with the sentiment.
But the repukes aren’t doing what they do (and don’t do) from stupidity. It’s all about money.
For sometime now I’ve wondered why President Trump doesn’t bash them. He fights for what he wants and confronts them, and then goes back to positioning himself as one of them.
It occurred to me that the constant bashing is leading to one result: people (MAGA especially) don’t want to vote for repukes.
The problem is the midterms. If the dims get in, President Trump will be impeached and the country will go the way of Virginia.
Besides Immigration being anti-environmental, I used to point out that every immigrant dilutes your own voting power. Invaders took over my old County, with White Democrat marxist criminal faced political crime syndicate masquerading as government. All County positions were At-Large so the cities within the county, which had been taken over and destroyed by D’s & their replacement invaders canceled out the surrounding R-Trump voters. No legal way out of the misery and theft inflicted ‘politically”. Thus I moved.
“Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the “anchor-baby†issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs.”
— Suicide of a Superpower-Pat Buchanan
Yes, true. But it doesn’t respond to my post.
Pat was not addressing the 2026 midterms.
I’m not interested in discussing history or philosophy right now. I’m interested in winning the midterms.
My point is convincing people not to for the the repukes (awful as that is) will not help us win the midterms. This is not complicated.
If they didn’t cheat they would not win. If Immigration had been stopped like us Buchananites tried to do the Democrats would have already been a permanent minority. Pass President Trump’s SAVE Act. Stop the cheating and force the Uniparty to be Trump Republicans and we win. The Uniparty CFR-Bush republicans have been our greatest enemy and most did not see it until recently. (Something needs to be done about the CFR-managed-CIA run Mockingbird Fake News also)
Yes, true again. And again this doesn’t address my point.
Bashing republicans right now is not the best strategy to get people to vote for them in the midterms.
We want people to vote for republicans in the midterms!
The reason is if President Trump loses power, we are in big trouble.
After the midterms you can get back to bashing them.
I’m being as clear as I can possibly be.
Hispanics need to be targeted by the RNC as the next voting block.
Of the construction crews I have employed Hispanics comprise 100%…in 30 years in the biz have never had a white or black on a crew.
Most are hard working, family oriented and go to Church. They were concerned greatly of the illegal immigration brought in by slo Joe which was a direct impact to their livelihood…
Univision and Telemundo are left leaning…but this group needs to be better informed of conservative principles and acted upon…
I have to believe that the Repugs are bad communicators by design…..
I get it friend and at this point I agree, but I can remember back in 92 & 96 when the fight of us Proto-MAGA Buchanan Republicans was to build the Buchanan Border Wall, abolish the 1965 Immigration Act, reduce legal Immigration back to under 300,000 along with an immigration Moratorium for a few years of no immigration. That was one of Pat’s main planks. I would argue successfully that Buchanan was the real environmental candidate not Clinton & the D’s and I could make the exact same argument for PDJT.
I knew about these clowns back in the 90’s and helped to push me to Buchanan’s Campaigns in the 90’s. I did my best to spread awareness as best I could pre-internet. You had to be very innovative and daring back then.
Americans Ambushed: Immigration Rally, July 4th, 1996

You can thank Ted Kennedy for a lot of this.
He played a good pointman for those who pulled his strings. Just think of “Nihilists & Atheists” as “Refugees”, “Gimmigrants” “Antifa-Anti-ICE nutjobs” etc
“We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.” Albert Pike
Exactly! Especially the passage of the odious Immigration Act of 1965 which is still in effect and gives priority to POC from third world hellholes! It needs repealed!!! JMO
Yes, but the work PDJT and ICE is doing can and will change those percentages. The immigration policies will reduce the influx. Better prosperity will lead to increased fertility of those remaining.
It is not about racial minorities and majorities. It is about a population living by the economic and spiritual principles of our Creator. His principles are aligned with our DNA and will produce the greatest synergistic good. We know this by science, we know this by faith, and the data produced by faith led actions leads to more data that confirms by science and experience that we are on the right road.

Cockroaches! Good analogy!
For those in Rio Linda who don’t understand how propaganda works, let’s use yesterdays report related to the change of a line prosecutor in the South FL prosecutions as a case study:
1) CNN reporting;
2) Sources are defense counsel and/or defendants themselves;
3) They are entirely motivated to make these cases political;
4) President Trumps own DOJ stated: “muh,
ordinary course of business.”
Could it be cuz she was slow walking the case? Possible. But from Tulsi’s related actions they have been doing everything by the book (not in the Susan Rice sense). So I’m going to hold fire until I see corroborating reporting from a reliable source. We want convictions. But the wheels of justice do indeed grind slowly.
A prosecutor is sometimes swapped when there might be cause for appeal as a result of public perception. I don’t know if this is the situation here.
There are a hundred reasons why they might swap someone out.
Very true, one of them could be what was reported, time will tell.

You Won’t BELIEVE How Much They’re Going to Charge for Admission
to Obama’s Presidential Library | The Gateway Pundit
81 million? A pallet of cash?
“Obama’s hideous new presidential library is set to open in June and unsurprisingly, it’s not going to be cheap. What is surprising, is how much the tickets will actually cost to get in the door.
In addition to having to show an ID, tickets are a whopping $30 for adults. Thirty dollars per ticket!”
30 pieces of silver. I should have guessed.
Don’t worry; if people complain, they’ll lower it to $6.66.
I thought they would have to pay people $30 to get them to attend!!! My bad!!! This will become the new mecca for white liberals not so sure about the black community?
If admission ticket does not bankrupt ya, the parking ticket will…/s
“Admission is free, but parking will cost you your immortal soul.”
And they have to show an ID, that’s racist 😂
Let me guess, they’ll be allowed to use snap benefits to get it.
Had heard it was Obama center they dropped the library part.
If it is still a library then the $30 bucks is for the drag queen show at Barry’s Bath house.
It is known that Canada is aligning with China Inc.
It is known that China Inc. is aligned with Iran and Iran is an SCO, BRICS as well as Belt and Road member.
It is known that a group of high levels clerics landed in Toronto, Canada 4-weeks ago, with an IRGC Escort.
It is known that not all the clerics are on the same sheet of music in Iran and that the Central Cleric Counsel in Iran does not have control over the IRGC, while that group has aligned with moderates to retain some level of control by agreeing to a temporary “withdrawal” in the face of President Trump.
The Clerics SHELTERING in/by CANADA are the IRGC’s (and China Inc.’s) ace in the hole at this point in time … providing a “clerical element” to the IRGC hardliners resisting the end of the conflict.
Sounds reasonable. The first Ayatollah hung out in France I believe until the Shah was disposed.
Yes, France is where the First Ayatollah was housed with the support from the UK and US (Jimmie Carter), as they did the dirty work of deposing the Shah in 1970-1973.

When the Iran dust settles down, I would expect to see our President meeting with both party legislative leaders to “make a deal” and get stuff done.
Keep working to cut out inappropriate funding. One dollar at a time.
These dollars cut help in multiple ways.
They stop leakage, they stop support of destructive activities, the defund the people involved in the destructive activities, they bust up the networks of relationship who connive for the destruction of our nation, they give margin (financial and time) to citizens who are living by right principles to propagate Truth.
Do not lose hope. Do not fear.

Guess it’s on again. Iranian Gunboats Open Fire On Tanker As Hormuz Closure Sparks Maritime Chaos | ZeroHedge
At the end of WWII in Germany, there was a rogue group called “werewolves” that caused trouble for awhile until they were cleaned out.
The same thing will happen in Iran…… small, rogue groups will cause temporary problems.
Temporary problems …… expect them for awhile……

🎯 The IRGC isn’t a snake it’s a Hydra.There are ~31 separate provinces with their own devolved IRGC command structure. Each acts according to their local leadership’s views on Jihad, Taqiyya, Hudna, Death to America & Israel, must have nuclear weapons at any cost, etc.
It’s hard to imagine how one could negotiate a lasting agreement of any kind with their national leadership.
Hope I’m wrong…
Prior to the incident with the motor boat terrorists…
If you focus on the tip of the peninsula poking into the straight, you’ll see a number of ships passed through hugging the coast away from Iran – basically protected from the motor boats by Iran’s own alleged mine field – not paying the IRGC their 30 pieces of silver. That’s most likely to have been the true cause of the shots across the bow of another ship and the terrorist threats to other ships (i.e. the “shutdown”).
The tanker threatened was an Indian tanker with an Indian crew according to reports. The fact that it is the UK agency reporting the incident, I would give it a 50/50 possibility of having actually happened. They don’t want ships passing through without THEIR piracy in the form of insurance payments to Lloyds…
(love the cartoon – very appropriate)
An alleged recording of the ship shots were fired towards during the alleged incident.
Will say TT tends to shoot straight (no pun intended). They also provided this, which tends towards confirmation.
Yep, the cartoon is spot on. Lol
The incident raises the question of – why weren’t the motor boats blown up?
Most likely answer – can’t be everywhere at once all the time.
A military action I expect fairly soon is a frag-bombing of the lakes where (hundreds of …) these boats are stored. Simply sink them all in the harbor. A midair burst of shrapnel would punch holes in the hulls of all of them at once.
If anyone tries to raise any of them up, blast again.
…….Harrison…Harrison……because…..someone in the our military do not wanted it end up as rescue missions ……
……….up same as……..
Highly successful?
Would say this is positive confirmation of the incident…

How the media could generate outrage at the destruction of faith communities.
https://jackcashill.substack.com/p/resurrecting-the-medias-best-kept
I find it doubly ironic that the wicked witch of the EU prefaced her video extolling the virtues of the state controlling access to the internet with the line, “It is for parents to raise their children.” Of course, she is correct with THAT statement – it is NOT the state’s job, nor should they be involved at all – it is the parent’s responsibility, duty, and choices regarding the raising of their children. Access to the internet is easily controlled by such responsible parents.
Of course – it really has absolutely NOTHING to do with “protecting the children” – just as most draconian, totalitarian regulations and laws have anything to do with “safer” and “easier”, virtues they are often imbued with to trick the dull of mind – and all too often which are bought hook, line and sinker by too many of the people.
Rather than listen to the evil witch’s video that is in the article, a nice summary of reality is provided by the article originator:
To save readers from having to stomach Von der Leyen’s sickly sweet presentation of the European Age Verification App, here is a summary of the main points [incidentally, while listening to her address, punctuated with beaming smiles, I kept thinking of Pink Floyd’s classic tune, “Mother”, particularly the line “Momma’s gonna make all your nightmares come true”*]:
What VdL describes as a “huge success” represented an unprecedented violation of basic rights, including personal privacy and bodily autonomy. It also further centralised power in the hands of the VdL Commission. Who can forget how VdL abused that power in her vaccine negotiations with Pfizer as well as the destruction of evidence that followed?
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eus-digital-gulag-apparently-ready-roll
And so the EU continues its inexplicable march towards total totalitarian control with digitalID and digital currency – the twin evils this treeper and others have warned about for years.
Lest you think it won’t happen here – do you remember the gene-therapy injection ID cards in the US? The phone apps? Have you paid attention to the way the government has started enforcing digital ID requirements to access government services – such as the IRS? FISA and the “Patriot Act”? Companies that no longer take cash – or ones that no longer take checks? The government during the Autopen talking about outlawing VPNs?
Wake the heck up…the midterms matter far more than you think.
The use of an app to generate some code does not prove that the user is “you.” And, if there is a central database that must be consulted to check the code, then that is the vulnerability.
They will then sue American companies who do not comply with their digital ID.
Said companies should tell them to pound sand. The moronic governments which institute and agree with this insanity can always choose to either block non-compliant applications with their country-specific firewalls like Chyna and Iran do – or they can place the onus on ISPs to do the verification before allowing access.
(Yes, I know they want the money and to try to exert control over the companies of other nations – but that doesn’t mean anyone has to allow them to do so)
“It takes a village to raise a child. The village is Washington. You are the child. There, I’ve spared you from reading the worst book to come out of the Clinton administration since — let’s be fair — whatever the last one was. Nearly everything about It Takes a Village is objectionable, from the title — an ancient African proverb that seems to have its origins in the ancient African kingdom of Hallmarkcardia — to the acknowledgments page, where Mrs. Clinton fails to acknowledge that some poor journalism professor named Barbara Feinman did a lot of the work. Mrs. Clinton thereby unwisely violates the first rule of literary collaboration: Blame the co-author. And let us avert our eyes from the Kim I1-Sung-type dust- jacket photograph showing Mrs. Clinton surrounded by joyous-youth-of-many- nations.”
This EU Bait & Switch is even more cynical and evil than Hillary’s, and that’s just not possible.
Rest in the Vine: P. J. O’Rourke, R.I.P.
I miss PJ O’Rourke . I had a subscription to National Lampoon through the 70’s funny stuff.
Former NC house rep Cawthorne did an interview this week about the DC blackmail game. An excerpt from an article on the discussion shared on ZH.
Cawthorn, who was elected to represent North Carolina’s 11th congressional district at just 25 years old in 2020, described the typical path these lurrid situations take. It often begins at donor dinners or late-night votes, when members unwind with drinks or head back toward Capitol Hill. While many lawmakers prefer socializing with fellow congressmen to avoid complications with staffers or outside interests, invitations can quickly turn strangely personal.
“Normally, the way I found that these things start getting off the ground is that it starts out—you’re maybe at a donor dinner or getting dinner after a late night of votes,” Cawthorn said. “Then, you know, everyone has friends inside of Congress, so you start hanging out with friends. Maybe you’re grabbing drinks, or on the way back to Capitol Hill, heading back to your homes.“
“Then you start building these relationships, and most congressmen like to hang out with other congressmen, just because there are so many problems when you hang out with staffers or people with different angles in other parts of the Beltway, the former lawmaker continued. “I will tell you, normally, the way I came across this is that people start inviting me and saying, “Hey, why don’t you come back? My wife would love to hang out with you, and we can see what could be going on here. I think we’d have a really good time if we all got together in this way.”
“Then you start piecing it together and say, “Wait a minute, what kind of invitation is this? This sounds really weird. What do you mean leave my phone at the house?” That doesn’t make any sense—these random things they’re saying.
It becomes very clear what they’re looking for. That’s the big one—“check your phone at the door,” that kind of thing,” he added.
Donor dinners? How about a huge NO. Something about undo influence…
Going out drinking regularly after work? How about another huge NO. If you need to “unwind” – turn on some calming music and spend some time in prayer and contemplation. Maybe take a nice walk.
The devil and the Dims – what the founders wrote about a moral people really is true…
I know almost no treepers like him, but I still listen to Steve Bannon on WarRoom.
He showcases many candidates, usually tries to get the most conservative on the show. He also provides an opportunity for canvassers, GOP workers, etc.
They always talk about getting people out to vote, needing people to give time and or money, make calls, texts, fill envelopes, etc.
For years I have thought this misses the main problem: The Democrats are champions at finding ways to corrupt elections, wouldn’t Rs be better off focusing on poll watchers, election judges, those categories which are either hands on the ballot process or at least watching it? Doing the tech work, the driving, the janitorial work even?
nothing wrong at all about listening to alternate points of view, agree or disagree, unless it’s leftist drive-by, 100% anti-Trump propaganda. Everything today is echo-chamber news. People listen to what makes them feel good and aligns with their perspective, but that misses many other possible, legitimate points of view or realities.
There is not a single place you can go in the world today and get “straight news”. It doesn’t exist and hasn’t for decades. Very poor reflection on mankind for sure. The truth may have no agenda, but good luck finding it……
I don’t think they would be better off focusing on the things you list – if you have no voters, the rest doesn’t matter. While there have been considerable improvements in the “get out the vote” and “get people registered” – mainly do to people like Scott Pressler – they still aren’t up to the level of Dims. For example, in my area we rarely get messages or calls by phone – but the Dims are flooded with them. During 2024 the only ones most received were from the RINO former SC governor.
That said, the other is important as well and there are groups doing those very things. One of them is https://www.precinctstrategy.com/ – which tries to get poll watchers, precinct workers, and others actively trained and involved.
In 2024 the GOP itself was much better with having lawyers on hand in historically problem areas (fraud, deep blue areas) – but they still were very subpar IMO. Arizona being a prime example. Harmeet Dillon talked a big game – but played small ball.
One of the things I would like to see more of is citizens recording – including potentially secreting such devices in counting buildings to record possible fraud – and following ballots from polling stations on their way to the counting rooms, with enough coordination as to be able to identify when a vehicle that is NOT from a polling station rolls up with a load of ballots (likely fraudulent, such as what happened in Az).
Something else citizens could do is become more involved in talking to others and getting the truth out and smacking down the propaganda. There’s a house I drove by recently on the way to visit a friend that still had a sign up with the atrocious lie that PDJT had called people in the military “losers” (MSM lies from the V-day trip to France years during PDJT’s first term).
In general, everyone needs to become much more involved in all aspects they can (for example, citizens can’t deal with election judges – other than call them out for bad rulings).
Anyway, that’s my nickel’s worth (since they don’t make pennies anymore).
I occasionally get texts or calls. Of course as a very long term treeper my views are already formed; I assume they are superfluous to the vast majority of people who receive these missives.
It’s hard to imagine someone would vote for something due to a text or cardboard sign saying to vote for it.
The text/calls I mentioned are those to “get the vote out.”
Things like, “Don’t forget, the primary is next week.” Or “Today is election day, don’t forget to vote and take a friend.”
In regards to imagining what voters may or may not do – I present the typical Dim voter and those like the household I mentioned with the sign. Would say also far too many voters are either single issue – or have very near sighted vision without a view towards the long term and broader aspects. Then there are those who allow themselves to be emotionally manipulated by a “text” or “cardboard sign” at a strategic place or time – rather than becoming better informed and giving serious, rational consideration to their choice. So no, not hard to imagine…
Dems/Marxists do both, organizationally and effectively. Their voters are enthusiastic enough to do it for free. RINOs too often control state apparatus, and who wants to work for their cause? Even they don’t. “Let George [Democrats] do it.”
Speaking of corrupt politicians and Dims – the NY governor’s policies hath wrought evil.
“Failure to honor ICE Detainers resulted in… 29 homicides, 2,500 assaults, 300 robberies, 400 dangerous drug offenses, 300 weapons offenses, and 200 sexual predatory offenses.“
I think these evil communists should be charged for each murder, assault, robbery etc that the people they let go commit. That will put a stop to their insanity.
If they can charge the parents of a school shooter, then politicians can be charged for crimes by illegals..
I think an excellent case could be made that these actions, protecting those present in our country illegally, and failing to do their sworn duties to protect actual legal constituents, voids sovereign or governmental immunity as being actions which are outside the scope of duties of their positions.
Sovereign immunity ONLY applies to actions within the scope of your defined job.
I agree. I think this idea should be tested… if that prosecutor in Minneapolis can charge a Federal Officer for protecting himself and the vehicle he is in from someone trying to run him off the road/block his lawful duties, then these politicians should be charged also.
In the case of crimes by illegals, there is already a law in place which could be used to stop it all, if only we had a DOJ and AG with the backbone to do so…

Too bad these arrests are not daily.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed again, I expected this to happen.
I think the problem is that the administration is negotiating with certain people in Iran, coming to a consensus, and then other people in Iran, more hardliners, come along and object.
It will be nearly impossible to conclude this before Iran itself decides who is really in control of their own country. Right now there’s simultaneously a power vacuum and a power struggle.
Re: negotiating – sounds familiar
I think the problem is that the administration is negotiating with certain people in DC ( or Ukraine ) coming to a consensus,
and then other people in DC ( or eeee uuuu ), more hardliners ( or something ),
come along and object.
Just saying since I have seen it several places—
People are saying that Iran & Strait are being used as a way to manipulate the stock market.
ACTUALLY would like input either way, for it seems weird.
These people really understand only one thing: FORCE. They are going to have to experience the use of force again. They’ve been in power for 47 years during which they successfully intimidated everybody. They’re not going to give that up easily.
But, Trump is both smart and patient. He is giving them the rope they need to hang themselves.
I always thought I knew what the meaning of the work “decimated” was. I guess not. One month ago Iran was decimated.
Decimated, annihilated countries don’t close down major shipping channels for weeks and they don’t shoot down sophisticated US fighter jets.
Decimation originated with the Roman army way back when Rome ruled much of the world. When the Romans defeated an opposing army which surrendered, the Romans lined up the losing army and chose every tenth man and then killed them.
The meaning has since evolved to mean annihilation.
Our military needs to take out those little boats as soon as they threaten a ship. The IRGC is not sympatico with the negotiations. They do not realize they have lost… so they should be obliterated.
One news commentator said the struggle was three-way, between citizens, Clerics, and the military.
Given that Israeli intelligence has probably penetrated to the core of IRGC leadership (or what’s remaining of it) I suspect President Trump is being told of the outcomes of the inner-political battles before the majority of the faction members.
His tweets are therefore more likely designed to shape this dynamic as much as they are to give an update on current events. By backing one side he’s forcing the hardliners to react in entirely predictable ways, and therefore I suspect the counter to these moves has already been prepared. Again he’s following the classic strategy of flipping your opponent’s centre of gravity (a military term that denotes an advantage the enemy has). Here it’s the regime’s fanaticism being weaponised against them, as they are compelled to defend their rhetoric, and in doing so act against their self-interest.
this
Maybe some treeper Navy folks can chime in on this but shooting something very small going 60 miles an hour zigging and zagging is no easy task. On a ship that may also be moving. I’m not sure it’s as simple as straffing machine gun fire. I could be wrong.
I clay shoot from time to time and those are slow moving, close in targets that I’m using a shot gun to clip. It’s not easy to have a 100% hit rate!
I thought they had helicopters on those ships….
Blow them to bits in the storage harbors, where sometimes there are hundreds of little boats. A nice, compact target.
I’ve said this since even before the cease fire – that we are essentially negotiating with nobody. The political class has no control over the IRGC military, unlike in the US where the civilian class controls the military. The only way this is going to end is for the IRGC to be annihilated or to mass surrender like we saw the Iraqis do in the first Gulf war in Kuwait.
It is peculiar, as soon as Starmer and Macron say they are going to open the Strait, even though the U.S. has already opened it via a blockade, the IRGC act to try and close it again.
I have to wonder what back channels are being utilized by the Brit/French duo to make sure the U.S. does not succeed. Starmer was in the Middle East visiting Arab leaders in recent days and Macron called emergency meetings with his EU counterparts regarding the Strait. All this while denying the U.S. the use of the American bases on their soil. This is not the action of allies and one has to ask when the U.S. responds in kind.
No proof, but these characters appear to be deploying obstructions techniques they are using in Ukraine peace efforts to the U.S. Iran peace efforts. I can’t even begin to express how disappointed I am that the UK has sunk so low. What on earth happened to the stalwart Brits that vowed never to be conquered? They idly stand by and let their country be invaded and elect leaders that are systematically destroying their culture and history.
So sad to see.
sounds like a power struggle between political and military.
Our ships, aircraft and helicopters are in the Straits of Hormuz right now so it’s open!

ID to change a bill? I could see a check but a bill?
So they’re racist?
You are very wise in a 2020-26 sort of way. /s
they were identifying you in their government database as a user of cash. You do that enough times and the red army will be knocking at your door.
PNC=government
It is in case the $100 bill is a fake.
There is serious talk of eliminating the $100 bill because the present version costs so much to make.
The present version are all in Somalia.
What if the bank is fake?
or run by aliens, those from outer space, not the illegal ones.
IK,R?
Numerous stores have those machines where the cashier can run a bill through it to determine if it is real. Just takes a second and they don’t ask for ID to do it. The bank must have those same machines. Why not just use it?
Because if the bill is counterfeit, they will want to prosecute somebody… and it starts with the person who passed the bill.
Is it a federal law requiring banks to get ID from anyone wanting to make change from anything over $25, as MR52 said above? If not, then why does the bank care more than the various stores that just use that machine and don’t ask for ID?
I tried to just drop off the little slip which orders more checks a couple of days ago and was forced to go back out to the car and get my purse to show ID. I made enough of a scene I half expected to get arrested, it was so ridiculous.
NOTHING was different, and we have three accounts at the bank. Two of them we had for 50 years before the bank (US Bank) ate up our previous bank (Firstar) which ate up our previous bank (Mercantile).
To add further flavor to the event, you can order checks online from check manufacturers (the same ones most banks use) and you don’t have to show any ID…simply provide the information to print on the check and a method of payment. Unless you get free checks from your bank – they are usually less expensive as well. Deluxe has the highest customer satisfaction and has around 50% of the market. ChecksUnlimited comes in second market size, but doesn’t have as high of a customer satisfaction rating.
I’ll do that next time! (Have ordered privately before but not for ages.)
My 39 year old housecleaner told me he has never had a checking account and never written a check. He does everything digitally.
I understand the attraction, there’s just too much … too much.
I use cash and checks more than anything – refuse to do business anywhere that won’t honor both. Shan’t give the government an excuse to go digital currency – nor allow them or anyone else to track my every purchase.
Same thing happeJned to me @ truist(previous SunTrust) All major banks seem to suck these days. Had to go back to my car to get ID, and this teller knows me well. The advice to order from deluxe is smart. Althou gh I did order 160 checks from bank. Cost of $80. Combining with stamp prices these days it comes to 1.50 for every bill paid by check. Pushing me more into autopay, which my wife hates. I guess in the scheme of things not a big deal, just annoying. Acceptance and prayer are the key.
Pray and help others
Close your account and go elsewhere. Take a stand.
Suggests a problematic number of fake “over 25” bills circulating out there.
Maybe because of the number of counterfeit $100 bills. I put some $100 bills I received from a bank into my credit union’s ATM. One of the bills kept coming back out. I took it to customer service and asked if it was counterfit. They couldn’t see any sign that it was, but would not accept it.
Even the real ones are counterfeit.
Sometimes life imitates politics…
Hmmmm….
“Source confirms to me that Joe diGenova will be sworn in on Monday as Counsel to the Attorney General to lead the Russia collusion hoax invesitgation.
He will work out of the Fort Pierce, FLA courthouse; a grand jury has been empaneled there since January.
This is the home of Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s documents case against the president until she determined in July 2024 that his appointment violated the Constitution and tossed the indictment.”
Joe is the Scumbag that pushed Bill Barr on us forgive me if i’m not impressed
Gee, another grifter in the DOJ. Prove me wrong.
That is why I said “Hmmmmm…”
If I recall correctly, everything he said would happen… didn’t!

this is theoretically correct, but empirically incorrect
Right on!
YouTube is inundated with AI generated videos of attacks on US Navy ships that are simply false, they never happened. Now, it’s become hard to know what is true and what is not. This morning YouTube posted news about Chinese tankers running the Iran blockade and the US Navy backing down and allowing them to enter Iranian ports. No mention of President Trump addressing the situation. Is true or AI BS?
I don’t think there is a blockage of ships entering the area – it’s on ships exiting the area from what I have gathered, seen, and read. They (us) are also interdicting and tracking Iranian loaded ships on the high seas outside of the gulf region.
There have been a number of Chyna’s ships that have been turned back (about half a dozen) per ship tracking apps that were trying to leave Iranian ports. It’s part of what has the IRGC in such a tizzy.
Regarding ship attacks – DoW and Centcom are the go-to sources and while there were attempted attacks during the active attack phase of this thing per DoW – there have been no hits.
There is a massive amount of propaganda out there – the IRGC, Chyna, and their agents are quite good at it – so caution is always appropriate, as is confirmation from reliable sources.
WSJ
https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-military-prepares-to-board-iran-linked-ships-in-coming-days-officials-say-4dc0a718
The U.S. military is preparing in coming days to board Iran-linked oil tankers and seize commercial ships in international waters, according to U.S. officials, expanding its naval crackdown beyond the Middle East.
There is a possibility this info was deliberately given to the WSJ to influence negotiations.
Gemini estimates there is 37.5 million barrels in transit with ~25 million floating off of Malasia which roughly equates to $3.9 billion when sold at discount.
While $3.9 billion might seem like a fraction of their total annual revenue, it is a catastrophic, immediate liquidity crisis for a regime that operates on a month-to-month extortion budget. If that specific oil is seized instead of delivered, the Chinese checks bounce, and the IRGC suddenly lacks the hard currency to make their domestic payroll next week. The U.S. wouldn’t just be seizing oil; they would be seizing the regime’s immediate operating capital.
When will we get laws forcing AI content to be labeled as such? We also need a law that does NOT allow someone to present or use or forward the AI content with the notification of AI name and content stripped off.
If AI were any good, don’t you think the creators would want to copyright all of it and prevent anyone else from claiming rights?
I do have to say though that a little AI at Walmart checkouts would be good. How about an AI scanner that looks all the stuff up as it goes down a moving conveyor sending similar items into the correct slot for bagging. If AI were any good we wouldn’t have to look stuff up and it would automagically call a supervisor if it can’t identify something. It would also help when an employee is scanning. Can I please get my frozen stuff separate from fresh veggies Ms Somalia?
Kindly remember that propaganda, and misinformation, and even deception (“the enemy is listening …”) is standard practice “in times of war.” Therefore, you should not believe anything – from either side, including your own – “at face value.” This is simply the appropriate way to think. Feed plenty of meat to your “Suspicious Cat.™” It has always been this way, and it always will be.
You can’t even “believe your own eyes.”
We’ve been at a stand off with Cuba for most of most of our lives, but less than 100 miles offshore and with modern weaponry we need to find a way to help the Cuban people – and ourselves.
First negotiations in a decade, the Trump administration doesn’t let any grass grow:

My uncle remembered when there was twice-a-day ocean ferry service between Key West and Havana. There were many casinos and fine hotels there, that Floridians would routinely patronize. Can we have that back, please?
I know that JFK and LBJ didn’t get along at all with Castro, but they’ve now been dead a very long time.
I’d swap Cuba for PR.
Let PR get its independence and help Cuba free itself from tyranny. Don’t want either with any kind of U.S. support or voting rights.
agree. Cuba would be conservative republican.
“…we need to find a way to help the Cuban people ..”
Why?
cheerring 4 america….”we needd to find way” ……to force our politicians from very top down…to restore our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC……not endless worries about Cubans/North Koreans/Iranians…….
I know this is in the weeds a bit, but the Communization of Wisconsin continues full-speed ahead. The WI Supreme Court race held on April 7th went very easily to a big liberal (60 to 40), giving the court an even stronger majority leftist than it already had. Nearly all of the right-leaning seats are now gone. The WI court will very soon be 100% leftist controlled, along with the state level offices that have already been completely taken over by hard-left democrats.
This from a state that just a decade ago was completely republican controlled. They have given nearly all of that away. Next up for the democrats will be taking back the state house and senate which will not be that tough. The WI GOP will help them.
When republicans take control, they act like losers and allow the democrats an opportunity to claw back. When democrats take control, they snap the necks of the GOP and kill them off for good. I can’t think of one blue-leaning state that has moved to the right, but I can think of a bunch of red-leaning states that are now under authoritarian control of the democrats (and you aren’t getting those states back). Forgetabout Wisconsin.
Nice job Wisconsin republicans. You pissed another state down the leftist toilet.
I’m sure you’ve been here long enough to know Republicans are mostly democrats that run on conservative policies, or just bribed assholes that have no morals.
yes, the second option you have is most of them. That SOB that leads the WI House (Paul Ryan’s butt-buddy) is a real piece of work. Someone should check his bank accounts and basement freezer.
When Ron Johnson retires in 2028, his seat will go to some anti-white, anti-american, anti-freedom commie……
VA GOP much like your WI republicans.
WI GOP elected officials need to look no further than the state to the south (IL) to see what happens when the democrats get full control of a state. This isn’t their grandpa’s democrat party. These leftists play for real. They chop the heads off their GOP rivals and cram them on a bloody stick for all to see.
The IL GOP was so openly corrupt for decades and now they do not exist. They got their money, but their party is gone and forgotten. The only elected GOP officials in IL are big-talking, do-nothing “tokens”.
This is always a head scratcher unless you understand their dialectic games

Florida has defied the trend – they’re more red than ever, no longer really a ‘swing’ state.
That’s nice, but how about investing it in ballot chasers?

The RNC has nearly a 7-to-1 money advantage over the DNC, which has more debt than cash on hand
https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/23/politics/republican-national-committee-dnc-finances-gap
I’m convinced the drive-by media plants stories like this to make conservatives “feel good” about how their GOP is doing. Then when elections happen and the GOP candidate’s head goes rolling down the street like a bowling ball, everyone on the right is perplexed by the huge loss.
The democrats don’t need DNC money to win. They just need corrupt voters rolls and electronic voting machines.
And not a penny will go to real Republicans.
According to CITIZEN FREE PRESS, Joe diGenova will likely be sworn in sworn in on Monday to replace the feckless Maria Medetis Long as Counsel to the Attorney General investigating John Brennan’s role in the Russia collusion hoax and attempted coupe on a sitting President.
This is no small development, as diGenova is hated by the Left for his role in supporting Trump’s contention that the 2020 election was stolen. Wikipedia’s treatment of diGenova borders on hystarical, decrying diGenoa’s role in what it calls “Trump’s false and baseless claims of widespread election fraud!” (Wiki’s conclusion that Trump’s claims of election fraud were ‘false and baseless’ were based on-air comments made by Jim Acosta and Jake Tapper).
It’s also noteworthy that di Genova will be working out of the same Florida courthouse where Judge Aileen Cannon hears cases. We’ll all recall Judge Cannon tossed Jack Smith’s indictment against President Trump after finding that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was un-Constitutional.
None of this is not good news for Brennan…and that keeps hope alive for those of us who want justice and accountability for the treasonous crimes committed by Obama and his corrupt pals!
So let’s all hope the 4th Beatitude of Jesus comes to pass:
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied!”
Wasn’t Joe found out to be part of the big club? Pretty sure I remember him and his wife being sniffed out as snakes in the grass. Hope I’m VERY wrong.
Big MAGA talkers for a fee. So many people on the right are just there for the money……..
digenova will burn through the rest of Trump’s term just like his buddy Bill Barr did in Trump I.
I’m reading that, Joe diGenova will be a council to the AG for the Russia collusion hoax.
Joe and his wife were the biggest cheerleaders for Trump to hire Bill Barr as AG.
I don’t think, Joe will be moving for MAGA or Trump in the matters ahead.
I wonder if anyone in the Trump administration has a memory?
Well you just answered my question one post above. Thank you!

The “Right to Try Act” that passed in Trump’s first term does allow treatment without FDA approval in some cases (including mental health).

Kinda makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the last election results, no?
The negotiations between U.S.A. and Iran should take place live on C-Span. Or, perhaps it should be a Zoom meeting. What is occurring behind closed doors is not effective or producing a good product. Also, ff representatives do meet in person, it should be in Motel 6, not some very expensive location.
I disagree. Negotiations like this can only be honest if held quietly and privately.
Public negotiations would become PR and gameplaying, not to mention dangerous for some of those participating.
I’m with you on Motel 6. BUT Only if there is a Waffle House nearby.

This is being criticized as a “self-reported” study. That’s accurate, but the criticism isn’t warranted. In order to get the prescription, one has to complete an arduous questionnaire, have a zoom consult with an M.D., and provide copies of recent medical records — e.g., pathology reports. It’s really the latter on which the docs rely, and it’s the documentation that gives the study credence. And yes, hope.

The following excerpt, from the article:
‘Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’
That undermining democracy is so overused…like beating a dead horse.
“John Eastman, Chapman Law School’s former dean, lost his law license after he allegedly helped President Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.” (this from CBS but reported in the article).
How can someone who was a Dean of a College of Law, be so unqualified or ignorant of the lasw/s?

Take it to SCOTUS. Needs to get reversed.
He isn’t BUT the leftists progressive Lawfare folk don’t care.
This action is a novel assault on the rule of law and the legal system itself.
SCOTUS needs to take this up and deliver an opinion that knocks the California bar in the teeth and in the butts too.
And they will, for the same reason that Kagan came in with the majority on the counseling case. If California can make certain legal arguments the subject of disbarment, well, so can Alabama.
Don’t be coming and arguing that there’s a civil rights violation by the State of Alabama in how it wrote its voter ID laws, Mr Elias, that might undermine faith in the system . . . you get yourself a disbarment if you even try it.
See how that works?
Goose, gander.
so it’s a crime to ‘undermine democracy’? what does that even mean? Sounds like something straight from Stalin.
Take the bar in Florida, get licensed, work in Judge Cannons court.

Aggie Girl,
I read it. I believe the percentage is so small of activist nurses. My husband has worked in many hospitals, not in the medical field. He helped build Cook County. The nurses and CNO’s are great. Not all, but, the rotten ones are in the minority. I can tell you are the best. My grandma graduated in the 1920’s as a nurse. I have her graduation picture of the class in the whites. I loved them. She went into private practice nurse. She took care of Stanley Kubrick, the director. She was the best.

Last night I saw a video of a professor analyzing the situation in the ME. His prediction is that, since Israel always needs an enemy (his analysis), that now that Iran is just about gone that next up is Turkey. He says that Israel’s playbook actions against Turkey have already started. In the end he thinks Turkey will get through this due to NATO membership and overall strength. He also remarked that Lockheed, etc support Israel always needing an enemy.
He had a lot of facts to back up what he was saying.
Wondering what you all think?
“His analysis.”
What I think is that he is just another Israel hater from the professorial left. Probably also antisemitic.
nope
Why does Israel ‘always need an enemy’? Typical leftist projection, and the removal of agency and responsibility from the assailant. Israel has been historically surrounded by countries who need her to be the enemy and the scapegoat for their failings.
As for Turkey being the replacement Iran I guess he’s not bothered researching the close links between the two militaries, or is this another clever Zionist plot.
Lefties have trouble with the direction of their logical associations.
From the NYT, Apr. 25, 2019: Crime Is Down, Yet U.S. Incarceration Rates Are Still Among the Highest in the World
“Turkey will get through this….”
Yes, in the same way that Tyson’s right hand survived all those menacing chins.
Through a series of events there’s no pointing detailing here…I know very well two guys from Turkey, both are Trump lovers, one Christian, one Muslim, one highly educated the other too young yet..but working on it. They both love the USA, one is a citizen now and the other will be.
They don’t trust Israel and they say it’s the Zionists…not individual Jewish people. So I hear things about the history of the area and a somewhat different take on current events. They say the Zionists want to take over a lot more land because they claim God promised it to them.
Many Zionists, particularly religious and Christian Zionists, believe God promised the Jewish people a land covenant that extends beyond Israel’s current borders. Based on biblical passages like Genesis 15:18, this promise is seen as an everlasting divine right to territory ranging from the Nile to the Euphrates, including modern-day West Bank, Jordan, and parts of Syria and Lebanon
What this means to me is the ME will remain an expensive problem.
Have you asked your Turkish friends why the expansion-minded Israelis gave up all that ocean-front property known as the Gaza Strip?
No ME expert here, but I do try to sort out aggression from defense, say on questions like needing an enemy versus having an enemy.
Did you miss POTUS, on Truth Social basically announcing he controls the Israeli military now?
If they aren’t allowed to bomb Lebanon without his permission there isn’t really much else they can do elsewhere either.
Yes…I wondered how people could be claiming Israel controls the USA when Trump just told Israel to stop it
There is so much $ to be made by taking taxpayer money and buying weapons for the crisis du jour that I wonder if we’ll ever get lasting peace.
He must have missed the part where Israel and Turkey had very close ties until Erdogan came to power and started cutting ties with Israel.
Erdogan also hosts Hamas leaders and has called Netanyahu Hitler, and threatened more than once to invade Israel.
Erdogan is also a backer of the HTS who now runs Syria.
Conclusion: this guy is trying to fit the facts to his opinion

“… Democrats spent weeks trying to build momentum around stopping Trump’s reckless escalation in the Middle East. A Lebanon cease-fire announcement —brokered by the same president they were accusing of warmongering— doesn’t just undercut their argument, it inverts it. You can’t simultaneously demand he stop the war and then refuse to credit him when he does. Their legislative maneuvering is now politically radioactive, because voting on it looks like attacking a peace deal.

Call it the Chokepoint Strategy. In the same 30-day period, the US has moved on three global arteries: the straits of Hormuz, Malacca (Indonesia), and now Gibraltar. It can’t possibly be a coincidence. It’s not luck. A plan of unimaginable consequences is unfolding right before our eyes.

Think about what Iran just did. India has been one of Iran’s 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬—one of the only countries still buying Iranian oil when the rest of the world walked away. And the IRGC just fired on an Indian ship carrying 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐪𝐢 oil—not even Iranian cargo.
This is a regime so 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 that its military is now attacking the ships of countries it needs as allies.
Cont…
I think we are seeing the equvalent of the Nazi Werewolves at the end of World War 2. Their goal WAS NOT TO WIN BUT TO TERRORIZE.
Basically we have a the Iranian Mafia exposed for what they really area BULLYS… Cowards whose only true strenght was terror.
IRGC is a military that needs to be feared, needs to be known as the bad guys who can beat anyone. Constantly hearing about how they’ve been beaten down and unable to attack doesn’t hold well with them. Therefore, they must prove they still have strength, ability and weapons. You see the IRGC military landowners hasn’t lost, just their other heads. They don’t care if America blows up bridges, etc., they will continue to terrorize until they can meet the enemy on land eye to eye. Stupid but after all, they’re terrorists and don’t know any better. Anyway, that’s my view dim or dimmer as it is.
I remember the Iraqis under Saddam bullying with the same bravado, and in the end they were eliminated and surrendered en mass during the first Gulf war in Kuwait.
That is what it will take once again to rid the world of these bullies.
Well, for 47 years, they got away with it. They managed to intimidate and blackmail the world – and to hold Iranian citizens in unspeakable bondage.
They did it, like I said, mostly through “intimidation.”
Now, I simply pray that, at the end of all this, the Iranian people will once again know freedom. Iran/Persia was once a shining star of the region. I pray that they will be so once again.
I suspect that the invaders made their fatal – and, ancient – mistake by showing all of their Arab neighbors what “medium range” actually meant to them. They didn’t just attack “Americans,” or “Israelis.” They (Shi’ite …) attacked Sunnis.
Yeah, “it’s an Islam thing.” But, like all such “things,” centuries old. And, blood-soaked.
How is that Iranian ship still afloat?
Where is the air cover over the Strait?
What is going on in the USA is a spiritual upheaval. Getting into integrity as a nation is what will unite us, each of us asked to do our part and share our gifts. A three mile high mountain of courage would bow in reverence to the task at hand.
I doubt any man would change his lot for another’s, once he knew what the others work truly was.

It is eerily similar to what happened to those who exposed the vile acts committed in abortion clinics and then spent eight years trying to clear themselves.
They are both just more methods of state censorship; how dare you tell the truth and expose us?

How do you know it won’t pass? The dims own every office of government in CA. Of course it is unconstitutional, but that takes time to get a ruling.
Fact check: Is this “homicide story” genuine?
