Recap from Julie Kelly:
Video summary of Southern Poverty Law Center
https://www.declassified.live/p/video-summary-southern-poverty-law?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-57c03767-9cfe-4985-923a-f182c0520b31
Southern Poverty Law Center is the window repair company that drives around in the cover of darkness and shoots out windows.
The leftist demand for hate is far greater than the supply.
Very true!
Except Barack Obiden told them whose windows to smash.
Just like Zelensky’s Nazis at J6!
Mark Dice. This is a must watch especially the Mark Potok interview. So the Hate Manufacturing SPLC really does have a long running program to destroy Heritage America
Alex Jones Was Right (Again) – The Billion Dollar Scheme to Push Antiwhiteism Just Exposed!
Don’t forget, the SPLC used to be the Go-To source for the FBI under Democrat administrations.
What operations have they been involved with the FBI in creating Hate Groups?
All of ’em.
Go back a generation to the “ZOG” and the “God Hates F-GS” protests.
This is what happened in Virginia on Tuesday in addition to the last minute dump of mail-in ballots.
FORMER CIA OFFICER CLAIMS ELECTIONS ARE MANIPULATED THROUGH COUNTY-LEVEL “VOTE SHAVING”
During an interview with Lara Logan, former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen alleged that organized teams of statisticians, engineers, and hackers systematically manipulate election outcomes by making small, strategic adjustments in select counties to keep margins narrow and avoid detection, claiming techniques vary by location to prevent patterns from emerging in recounts and asserting that vote totals are subtly reduced in strong Republican areas rather than altered in major Democratic cities, while author Ralph Pezzullo echoed the claims and argued that access to voting systems and source code should be expanded to expose potential vulnerabilities, though these allegations remain unproven and have been widely disputed by election officials.

No doubt !
Shocked I tell you, give me my winnings.
Thune and most “republicans” don’t care.
Democrats and republicans – two cheeks of the same ass.
I like it and I am stealing it 🖖🏻
Yep, feathers of the same bird! UniBird
Thune should immediately resign if he doesn’t do what all his voters and about 80% of t(e country wants. That goes for the other muppets.
…but why haven’t 5 conservative senators demanded the vote to oust Thune? Not one word to start the process so far.
Is there any other way to interpret the lack of action other than – each and every Republican Senator is more concerned with defending other Senators than defending the citizens that they are allegedly representing? The crimes committed by many Republicans in both the House and Senate on January 6th have not yet been addressed.
We stoped being a Representative Republic along time ago, We the People have been asleep for a very long time…
PAC and campaign $$$$$$$. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
It is not just Thune… it is the republican’s in the house… They could remove Thune if they wanted to…
I would rather that his constituents grab him and hang him from the nearest lamp post or tree when he goes back to his district. Do that to a few of the RINOs and the rest will get religion quick.
Shooting Wordman out of the saddle???
How is Thombellina not guilty of obstruction of justice?

This clears the way (thanks to traitor Tillis et al) for Warsh to be confirmed.
Seems the case is only dropped for now and they’re still investigating Powell.
According to Pirro, the case is dropped by her and given to the IG and I think it’s still Horowitz.
This 30-year old tanker being towed to Kharg Island by the Iranian military:
Why is this not a target to be sunk?
Any ideas?
Let the Iranians fill it with oil, and then seize it?
Indeed.
I know what a ‘dead tow’ was in the Panama Canal…
It won’t leave port. It’s strictly a storage tank. Their wells are shutting down because they can’t put the oil anywhere.
Yes, even so, as mentioned, why let them do that, unless to seize it later, or…?
Yes,let them fill it for us first then we seize it…
Yeah, I guess that’s what I meant, too!
Or seize it now. How is it that they still have any say-so in the Strait, or so it seems?
Iran is at max storage capacity.
They absolutely do want to shutdown their oil wells since any restart is difficult and costly.
The wells gum up
GREAT Article on WHY Iran CAN NOT Shut Off the Wells –

Who says it won’t be turned away and not allowed to enter?
Could be a bargaining tool for negotiations. No need to sink it….yet. still on a ceasefire now (with blockade).
SCOOP
In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube
where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens.
It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff.
No amnesty!

95/100 would vote for that they thought they could get away with it.
To Uni-Part members in DC, they cannot tell the difference between a US Citizen and Foreign Non-Citizen, because in then end … on election day … a BALLOT is a BALLOT after all.
He either does not care the people know hoping the count is rigged for him, his team is incompetent at burying his real colors or their is a saboteur in his midst. I hope it is a little of both the latter and he is toast.
I have been in south Texas for three weeks and it is impossible for me to find day labor, everyone thinks I am ICE or will throw them under the ICE bus it seems.
We pray for you, how much you have been through and still keep going.
The VA website offers employment assistance I believe, not sure if that would be helpful.
🙏🦅🇺🇸
Home Depot is hiring associates.
No state ID yet, waiting on my birth certificate, I am told it will be two or three weeks, hence the reason for under the table work. If I had a Z in my name it probably wouldn’t be a problem…
How south Texas are you
Coastal bend area or south of corpus
(Or ..Galveston…lol,south but not really…..
I live in the coastal bend
Maybe I can help
I am in McAllen, if you think you can help contact me at [email protected] , thank you in advance.🙏🏻
Brandon Gill said, “John Cornyn released an ad in Spanish promising his support for amnesty. Apparently he forgot that we represent American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
Well. Not exactly. The problem is that “we” do NOT represent American citizens, but DO represent illegal aliens.
Come on, Brandon. You should be able to figure that out.
Still waiting on the mass deportations. Has ICE been scaled way back?
Seems pretty obvious that Cornyn is about to lose and so, he’s playing his democrat card and is trying to rake in the illegal votes. From what has been reported, there are plenty in Texas to be had.
When your opponents say they want you dead, believe them. Democrats say they want conservatives dead.
It’s almost all Democrats. In VA, the vicious attacks on Republicans are in every social media post about redistricting, or local news article, etc.
They tell us to shut up, move out of VA, let the people with money in the state decide everything, or that we are too stupid to be allowed to have political representation. Pretty much every nasty thing you can imagine short of threatening to kill us. It’s clear they would like us all to die, they just won’t put it in writing net to their name.
I loathe Democrats – they are our enemies and are eventually going to try to control all aspects of our lives at the threat of armed government thugs.
Loathe the Rinos the Uniparty Commies one and all
“If you give a weed an inch, it will take a yard” 🙂
I lived in VA a while back and the taxes were way too high then…
Don’t expect the rural folks to ever disarm, active militias there.
Good Ole Boys eating their sausage gravy and biscuits.
The loathing is mutual…
My only question is when will the milk boil over?
The feeling is mutual. I believe it was Ron White that said, “If you kill someone in Texas, we will kill you back.” Or something like that. That certainly sounds reasonable to me.
emperor newsom is going to make the biden coup years feel like a quaint break from the march of marxism.
Newsom isn’t winning the presidency. He might not even win the candidacy.
I’m watching Turning Point interview with their reporter Savannah who was violently assaulted in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago – on camera – and of course no arrests as yet.
From these clips and their comments on FB I agree that they want us dead.
Like Iran says they want Israel and the US dead; think Trump is giving them an answer.
Too bad it’s not only the Ds, the Rs want US dead too. The Uniparty has to be defeated.
God Help US
Just so we all know who’s who, who’s married to whom, who’s a relative of whom, who’s employed by whom etc etc.
I’m certain this is only a small sample.

Dearest Betsy, I know this is off topic but I would ask you to read my response to one of your posts in yesterday’s Open thread. I had a remarkable experience yesterday and I wish to share it with you. ❤️
Oh my, DG!!! On my way with a restorative cup of ☕!!! 💕
Answered, my friend 👍🏻
In the words a famous Marine….

I wonder how many of them are married to, or are themselves CFR members.
Sounds like one big happy family. Corruption begets corruption!
It’s all they know.
Tip of an iceberg.
Yep….
Betsy, will most of these may be true not all are–Chelsea Clinton for example. I remember allegation from several years ago and it is false according to internet sources. Also, Adam Shiff doesn’t have a sister again, according to online. Even without the ones in error, there are numerous connections and we all know many too numerous to count, like Mary McCord, who don’t use the husband’s name to escape scrutiny.

“Can we all get along?” Rodney King and now Senator Thune! The Save America Act unfortunately is dead!!! Democrats like John Thune don’t want to save America!!! JMO
Thune didn’t just take the job, he was put in the job by his fellow GOP senators. He will remain in that position until he is like Mitch McConnell, old and demented, but still voting in the senate from the grave. Thune is a sell-out, but so are at least 45 of the other GOP senators that basically still support him.
Only We the People can fix this! 🇺🇲
Yes true but not enough of we the people believe this. That is a big problem.
Just give US one legal vote in a legal election and we’d have it straightened out in 2 elections. Starting this Nov.!!
If We can get Legal voting, an end to abortion, and pedophilia punishable by death then all’s right with the world and our service to God.
We the People are not going to vote thier way out of this…I am so tiered of the hopium and unicorn farts.
Thune is an acolyte for the Bush Cartel like McConnell, McCain, and all the others who served more than 1 term in their service!!
The Bush Cartel and China account for all that ails US. AND illegal elections is what they thrived on.
God Help US
Is Thune gay? Seriously, why else would he be besties with Cory Booker?
Would explain a lot.
They don’t want ‘legal’ elections; DC politics would be cleaned out in two elections.
We need the Tea Party to combat the Uniparty. Grassroots would get rid of all the weeds!!
Why is TMZ even in there? What a disgusting question.
TMZ Reporter: “When you give these orders to carry out this extreme level of violence, what’s going through your mind and your body? Do you have, like, an adrenaline rush? Are you scared? Do you feel like you’re on a power trip?”
War Secretary Pete Hegseth: “It’s a very TMZ question. My only thought process is to ensure that our warfighters have everything they need to be successful, defeat and destroy the enemy and they come home.”
“I want them to feel empowered to have every authority they need within our rules and within our law to bring maximum violence to the enemy.”
“War requires doing difficult things. But I want our people to feel empowered. So it’s our guys that come home and they’re guys that do not.”

Does this move clear the confirmation path of Kevin Warsh?
US Attorney Pirro has directed her “office to close our [FED] investigation as the IG [for the FED] undertakes this inquiry. Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so.”
US Attorney Pirro auf X: „This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers. The IG has the authority to hold the Federal Reserve accountable to American taxpayers. I“ / X
Im sure Traitor Tillis wasn’t expecting this end around. Spiking the tennis ball right at him.
what was his ulterior motive other than protecting “the independence” of the fed?
Ms Piro can easily reopen the criminal investigation of Powell and the Federal Reserve a day after Warsh is confirmed. There’s no restriction on Ms Piro!
If Kevin Warsh is the real deal, no need to reopen any existing cases …. he can post the results a project audit and let everything go from that point forward using new evidence, while firing the FED Employees involved.
Am watching the rerun of the Pentagon briefing and General Caine …it just occurred to me that the bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut…occurred on
April 18th…(in ’83)…mocking the date….18th of April.
Something I just remembered…that our enemies in the middle east, are very enamored of ‘anniversary’ dates.
SoW also mentioned some marine traffic including cruise ships going thru in the Strait? Assuming civilians on them or no? Am smelling a Hamas type set up…?
The U.S. Navy is working to remove any mines in the Omani Passage which is on the South side of the Straits of Hormuz. Upon completion the US Navy will shepherd oil tanker convoys by destroyer escort to the Arabian Sea. It should begin in a few weeks! 😎
Am praying for safety and that nothing goes ‘boom’….is the Omani Passage, Oman’s territorial waters? or just a region?
Territorial water hugging Oman coast.

Trying to find out more and the background of the monster who shot his own children in Louisiana–my hunch is he is foreign born and possibly illegal . Regarding the shooting in the Baton Rouge mall, the teen killed was a White female, my guess is 2 of the wounded were also White teens, all from the same Episcopal School in Lafayette. The shooters appear to be black. Media is not talking about any of it of course.

I used to think Americans don’t have the stomach or backbone to do what needs to be done with traitors. I believe the sentiment is turning, ever so slowly, but turning. These cretins need to be removed from our country.
Just being deported is letting them off easy, some Tar and Feathering would be a good start and then some other form of public shaming….the stocks?

FTA “Last year, on the 13th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an unconstitutional program he had conjured into existence by executive fiat, Barack Obama was singing its praises. “DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws,” Obama said. “And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.” And it’s all a lie. Since President Donald Trump returned to office, his administration has arrested nearly 300 DACA recipients nationwide — 75 of them in Texas alone, who were previously protected from deportation. And here’s the number the left doesn’t want to talk about: of 270 DACA recipients arrested between Jan. 1, 2025, and Sept. 28, 2025, 250 — that’s 92% — had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. Nine out of ten.
“DACA does NOT confer any form of legal status in this country,” DHS has said on this issue. “Any illegal alien who is a DACA recipient may be subject to arrest and deportation for a number of reasons, including if they’ve committed a crime.” In other words, DACA recipients who commit crimes are deportable under existing law, just like any other illegal alien. The program never granted immunity. In the end, the Trump administration is doing something radical by Washington standards: enforcing the law as written. And the left can’t take it.”
Send then all back home! Sounds so much better than “deport” them as if they have no home country to go to! JMO
This was an unconstitutional program conjured into existence by a president … but the following president was not allowed to extinguish it.
That was one of the first things President Trump did, but was prevented.
Always different rules. Even if it is finally ended now they’ve successfully added ten years worth of anchor babies to the mix, all of whom should not be here and be given citizenship.
if they want to be Americans then go to their country of citizenship, renounce that citizenship, apply for immigration status for the USA and then apply for permanent citizenship when you get here. Do it the legal way. Many/most of the DACA group have been in America for years. Why haven’t they become legal citizens in all that time?
This DACA deal was another form of anchor baby work around for citizenship in America. Time to end all of that and follow the laws we have on the books as far as immigration goes.
There are some areas in Chicagoland suburbs…Grandma has been here 40-50 years and still ‘No habla Engles’.
And no pursuit of honest citizenship.
But Grandma’s got anchor babies, anchor grand babies, and probably anchor great grand babies.
All because she presumptuously decided to ignore our laws, she decided on her own she was entitled.
Her criminal behavior has cost us a lot. Now multiply that …

Staggering amount Eric Swalwell paid lawyer to fight sex assault claims
Eric Swalwell paid a hotshot Los Angeles lawyer $40,000 in campaign funds to defend him on television against sexual assault allegations that ultimately unraveled his political career, according to a recent financial disclosure.
Swalwell took money from his since-dropped campaign for California governor to pay the princely sum for attorney Sara Azari, who says she specializes in “allegations of sexual misconduct in a post-#MeToo landscape.”
Azari gave a full-throated defense of the disgraced ex-congressman during an interview with NewsNation, saying “regret is not rape” in claiming Swalwell’s alleged victims were just ashamed by any sexual activity they engaged in with him.
“The fact that, you know, a day later, years later, or whatnot, you maybe had shame around what you did, or maybe you were in a relationship and shouldn’t have done what you did, doesn’t make it rape,” she told the network, to which she also contributes.
He is facing criminal investigations in LA and New York, as well as a Justice Department inquiry into alleged sexual misconduct. He has denied all of the allegations against him, only acknowledging “mistakes in judgment I’ve made in the past.”
Swalwell has hidden from the public eye since the allegations began. His wife and family were recently spotted — without him — at Mexico Los Cabos International Airport after enjoying a week-long luxury escape at a resort dubbed ”a billionaire’s playground.”
https://nypost.com/2026/04/24/us-news/the-amount-eric-swalwell-took-from-campaign-funds-to-pay-lawyer-to-fight-sex-assault-claims/
Is that a legal use of campaign funds? Would you contribute to that campaigner?
No negotiations at this time…
Alrighty Then! What part of FAFO do they not understand.
The fact they are going out with hat in hand trying to find someone to help them out of the mess they’ve put themselves in is quite telling.
There’s no need to do anything more than what is already being done at this point in time. Lack of funds and supplies can do far more to those as radicalized as the IRGC (who are really
running thingsthe middle men now IMO) than bombs can. Anything they try to do to counter it only underscores the reasons they are facing their current situation.A number of their neighbors are now publicly stating that they realize they (radicals in Iran) are a big problem and can no longer be trusted at all.
The Islamic QUEEN will be visiting the Islamic socialist in NY next week…
Interesting viewpoint…
If you’d told me a few years ago this is where we’d be on Iran, I’d have said you were high:
1. Nuke program set back years. Enrichment and reprocessing gutted, weaponization sites destroyed, Fordow inoperable, Natanz in ruins, a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated.
2. Ballistic missile program crippled. Monthly production down from 100 to near zero. Roughly half the regime’s missiles and launchers destroyed. The IRGC Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise dead.
3. Air defenses devastated. American and Israeli airpower dominating Iranian skies, with strike aircraft operating over the country with near impunity.
4. Full economic warfare. Not just OFAC sanctions anymore, but military pressure layered on top: naval blockade, near-zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel and petrochemical sectors, triple-digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless.
5. Regime decapitation. Khamenei dead. Larijani dead. Hundreds of senior IRGC, intelligence, military, and Basij commanders dead including the IRGC commander-in-chief, the armed forces chief of staff, and the Aerospace Force commander. Mojtaba Khamenei inheriting a hollowed-out regime with no supreme authority and a gutted command structure.
6. The region turning on Tehran. Gulf states shutting down the sanctions-busting, money-laundering, and financial escape routes the regime has relied on for years. No Arab capital willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China and Russia providing limited support.
7. Proxy network shattered. Hezbollah and Hamas heavily degraded. Houthi political leadership taking direct Israeli strikes. The “Axis of Resistance” and “ring of fire” are now more slogans than real threats.
8. Syrian corridor severed. Assad is gone. The new government in Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah: arresting smugglers and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a transit corridor for Tehran’s terrorists. The land bridge to the Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed.
9. Lebanon pivoting west. With Hezbollah battered and resupply choked, Israel and Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time since 1983, aimed at a permanent agreement and Hezbollah’s disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct repudiation of Hezbollah’s “resistance” claim. TBD.
10. Deterrence exposed as a bluff. Four direct attacks on Israel — April 2024, October 2024, June 2025, March 2026 — failed to impose strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn’t even use Syria as a launchpad.
11.Economy hollowed out from within. Power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest, and mass protests. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December 2025 after a year of economic freefall, with bazaaris, oil workers, and truckers, the regime’s traditional support base, joining strikes across all 31 provinces. Running out of oil storage space. Fuel shortages. The worst crisis since 1979.
12. Scientific and technical brain drain. Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of irreplaceable expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development. The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter.
13. Naval power decimated. The regular navy shattered, IRGC navy taking growing losses as CENTCOM moves to reopen Hormuz.
And against all of this: the regime forced to play its Hormuz card at its weakest possible moment when the U.S. has options instead of when we didn’t: namely, Tehran with nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese- and Russian-built military, hundreds of thousands of attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions of dollars to harden its economy.
That’s the strategic picture. It’s extraordinary. Much more to do but I can’t comprehend how much has been achieved.

Iran International reports that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of the Islamic Republic’s negotiating delegation with U.S. representatives in Islamabad, has resigned and stepped down from membership in this delegation.
Based on this information, Qalibaf has been reprimanded in the Islamic Republic for his efforts to include the nuclear energy issue as part of the negotiation axes with America, and has been forced to resign.
According to Iran International’s information, the possibility of replacing Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf with Saeed Jalili at the head of the negotiating delegation has been raised, and Abbas Araghchi is also trying to take responsibility for the file of negotiations with America by stepping aside Ghalibaf.

Directly helping a person is always the best way IMO…
I really enjoy watching this…thank you
You’re welcome. It stirred the Spirit…
That is wonderful! That old man was just waiting for someone to lift him up… and now he is HAPPY! I love to see this. Also, it took 1 person to make a difference … not a government agency.

Since my brush and decent into homelessness, I have tried to help at least one person every day here in McAllen and I am discovering that the longer they are on the street, the harder it is to get them off of the street or help them. The trauma or addiction is debilitating. 🖖🏻

I don’t care if I’m called a doomer. That was the whole game. Nothing else mattered. I love President Trump, but he can only be there for so long. After that, there was only one option. Elections had to go back to one vote per citizen. We just lost everything.
This vote and the Birthright Citizenship decision — determines our country’s future IMO.
So disheartening. Another shot heard around the world is needed.

Yesterday a popular TV, radio and acclaimed [leftist] newsman Ray Hartmann was killed when two wheels came off a big rig and struck his vehicle on the interstate in western St. Louis.
Despite massive local coverage I have seen nothing on the company of the big rig … or the driver.
Maybe I’m trained to be suspicious, but to be struck by TWO wheels???? How does that happen? I wouldn’t be surprised to discover one of our illegal friends was at fault – and is currently being protected.

Control the communication.
If any murders are getting reported they will rarely say illegals are involved.
They may say “migrant.”
They never will say if they are connected to terrorists or are from the middle east.
Control the communication.
Import the third world and become like the third world. It’s terrible.

According to this the truck struck him when “a” wheel came off and the truck lost control. 🤔
DOJ and Treasury this week…
The Old Extraction Machine Is Cracking — Treasury and DOJ Are Striking Multiple Fronts
In just the past week, the U.S. Treasury and DOJ have delivered several significant blows against the networks that profit from opacity, exploitation, and manufactured division:
Cambodia: Treasury sanctioned Senator Kok An and 28 entities running massive human trafficking scam compounds (“pig butchering” operations) that stole millions from Americans through fake romance and investment fraud. Debt bondage, confiscated passports, and brutal quotas — all protected by political connections.
Fentanyl Supply Chain: Treasury hit 23 individuals and entities tied to the Sinaloa Cartel’s precursor network, including Indian chemical suppliers shipping the building blocks of the drug killing tens of thousands of Americans yearly. One sanctioned figure had direct family ties to the violent Chapitos faction.
Dark Money Networks: The IRS updated Form 990 rules to mandate disclosure of fiscal sponsorship arrangements — the loophole long used by networks like Tides Foundation and Arabella Advisors to move billions into political activism with minimal transparency.
And then there’s the Southern Poverty Law Center. The DOJ just indicted the SPLC on 11 counts including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering conspiracy. Allegations: the organization funneled over $3 million to actual Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and Aryan Nations members (including someone involved in Charlottesville logistics) while raising hundreds of millions by labeling conservatives and ordinary Americans as extremists.
This isn’t random. These actions target different nodes of the same pattern: institutions and networks that thrive on division, exploitation, and unaccountable capital flows. The SPLC manufactured “hate” for profit while allegedly subsidizing the real thing. Scam centers in Cambodia and fentanyl networks in India/Mexico prey on Americans with political protection. Dark money structures hide who’s really funding the activism.
This is mercantilist realism in action — using sanctions, law enforcement, and transparency tools to disrupt foreign predation and domestic grift. For decades the old globalist scarcity model tolerated or benefited from these extraction channels. That era is ending.
Secretary Scott Bessent and the Trump administration are sending a consistent message: Americans will no longer be easy marks for foreign criminals, domestic fraud networks, or unaccountable NGOs. The more these operations are exposed and dismantled, the harder it becomes for the old system to keep functioning in the shadows.
These moves won’t fix everything overnight, but they represent a philosophical break from endless tolerance and managed decline. Real accountability is finally on the table.
The scarcity machine is cracking. The American people deserve better than institutions that profit from their pain.

The view of an Iranian now in exile in Canada…
I don’t think most Americans have any real sense of just how sophisticated and massive this whole operation against the Islamic regime has been. Even a lot of Trump supporters, probably picture it as some straightforward military thing. But for those of us who have lived under this system, it’s on another level entirely.
However, we are understandably exhausted and hyper-focused, worrying about basic safety that it’s hard for us to step back and appreciate the bigger picture. We don’t talk much, but it doesn’t mean we don’t see it.
We Iranians know war. My mother’s generation lived for 8 horrific years in the shadow of Saddam, a madman even crazier and more brutal than this regime in many ways. They endured constant bombings, cities turned to rubble, chemical attacks, families ripped apart, and massive displacement. For my generation, those years left childhood nightmares that never fully went away. We know amputated fathers, martyred neighbors, streets full of mourning, endless death, and helplessness. We know what real war is.
This operation was nothing like that. Unlike the Iran-Iraq war, where civilians were deliberately targeted to create maximum death, suffering, and destruction, this was meticulously designed to separate the regime and its military machine from the Iranian people.
It was remarkably successful in that regard. The vast majority of the hardship ordinary Iranians faced didn’t come from the strikes themselves. It came from the regime’s own incompetence, sabotage, and desperation. They cut the internet for days to control the narrative abroad, wrecked businesses and the economy with their chaotic responses, and kept their own people in the dark. That part was all them.
There is another thing, we Iranians know this regime like the back of our hand. It’s not some abstract evil.
It’s like stage-four cancer: incompetent at actually running a country, ugly and corrupt to its core, yet incredibly strong in spreading fear, hatred, and pulling out the worst in human nature.
Removing something this entrenched, in a country as vast and regionally complicated as Iran, required an intelligence and planning effort that is honestly mind-blowing.
What blows my mind is the Israeli intelligence work. We’re not talking just names and addresses. They’ve mapped behaviors, personalities, decision-making patterns, the whole human side of that rotten system. It’s like they know it inside out.
The planning was deeply coordinated with US, with Israel leading on the technical, intelligence, and precision execution level, while the U.S. directed the overall strategy and brought the power and coordination to make it happen. The precision was unreal: cutting-edge, top-notch technology, the best specialists in the world, and targeting that actually feels more like a surgical rescue mission than old-school war.
From where I sit, Trump directed the overall strategy and brought the raw power: choking off the regime’s money, isolating it internationally, cutting the lifelines from Europe and some Arab states. That created the conditions for this to actually land.
On the psychological side and negotiations, it feels like Trump played the big-picture game, timing the pressure, the deterrence, and the right mix of fear and openings to get maximum results with as little unnecessary cost as possible.
I really hope Americans come to recognize the courage, professionalism, and skill of their military and the patriots in the administration in this. Right now, it feels like we’re nowhere close to giving them the credit this level of work has earned.
For us Iranians who have suffered so long, this wasn’t about destruction. It was about finally creating a chance for something better. We will be forever grateful.
https://nitter.poast.org/iranidaturan/status/2047534353974988987#m
We should pray that all this is not for naught, after all we have spent a lot of money, lost servicemen, and given the first hope in many decades to the Iranian people.
This heroic effort could well be the cause of losing control of one or both chambers this fall.
If the midterms are lost it will be because people didn’t get their butts out of their chairs and go to work.
It will be because people wasted time writing posts. And wringing their hands.
The media promotes the idea you mentioned. If you are MAGA why would you carry water for the media and their globalist masters?

I don’t typically make news on a Friday afternoon, but today I am going to make an exception:
I’m calling a special session.
During the recently completed regular session, the Legislature discussed drawing new maps to comply with a decision from a federal judge from the Northern District of Mississippi – a decision that has been appealed to the 5th Circuit and the appeal has been heretofore stayed pending future U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
The entire world knows the Callais decision has not yet been handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is a decision that could (and in my view should) forever change the way we draw electoral maps.
It is my belief and federal law requires that the Mississippi Legislature be given the first opportunity to draw these maps. And the fact is, they haven’t had a fair opportunity to do that because of the pending Callais decision.

I’ve never said that I was certain of President Trump’s “Christianity.” Frankly, I don’t know what his status is with the Lord. I’ve been a Christian long enough…and in ministry long enough…and disappointed in others and even MYSELF enough to KNOW that people can let you down. Their “label” might not match their life. I’m thinking specifically of a Christian apologist my dad and many, many others admired and studied from that was “discovered” to be terribly flawed.
No, I don’t know President Trump’s personal relationship with Jesus. I do know three things, though. First of all, if he is a Christian, he’s a very immature one. Secondly, if he is a Christian, the Holy Spirit is dealing strongly with his heart as he falters. Thirdly…and really hear this one, President Trump has been a friend to Christians AND God’s Israel…no question. His policies have been a breath of fresh air to Christian conservatives and to “Americana” (what many of us have prayerfully sought).
Listen, Jimmy Carter claimed to be “born again.” He even taught Sunday School for many years. His policies almost destroyed us. Later in life, his stances were not Biblically friendly at all.
Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, and Biden…all of these guys were/are flawed. Some of them more visibly flawed than others. Womanizers (some), drunkards (some), and schemers in many ways (some mixed in illegalities that would probably boggle the mind). I don’t recall these individuals being slammed to the degree President Trump is.
We were so desperate as believers…begging God for someone that would be sensitive to our desires and fight for what we hope for. Just like President Trump HAS and IS…in the face of political backlash that would cause most politicians to tuck tail and run.
Some of his posts are unprofessional, distasteful sarcasm. But…he’s been consistently brash his whole life. Ever been brash? Ever said something regrettable in the heat of the moment? Ever had a dear saint of God say something that cut into you in church and hurt you to your core? I have. And though I despised it…it didn’t cause me to question their Christianity.
Is President Trump foul-mouthed? Yes! Eisenhower was too! General George Patton…even worse! Where would we be without these leaders?
Do as Franklin Graham and pray for our President. He’s in warfare for us! He is so flawed. We all are. But, for Heaven’s sake don’t lose sight of how blessed we are that someone like Kamala, or Hillary, or Newsom is not at the helm. Trust me, it could be worse.
He is not Christlike in his behavior.
Those who are ready to stone him aren’t either.
The Bible says that “unthankfulness” will be rampant in the last days.
We’d better give thanks for the good we’ve been given from God instead of the horror we deserve.
You want “Christians” in office?
Run for office!
Support Christians who do run!
Yes, my president has some serious problems…
but he sure has been a fighter for many things we in Christendom have longed for.
Talk about Kings?
King David wouldn’t have stood a chance with many Christians today.
Been blessed by David’s Psalms lately?
Yeah….I reckon’ God can use some messed up folks.
Peter…the cusser….found Grace.
I’m not condoning his bad behavior…
just showing a little Grace…
and a LOT OF GRATITUDE to my President

President George W Bush was a kind spoken Christian. Never said anything bad or rough about anyone. Know what? The left still brutally turned him into “ChimpBushMcHitler” and a “blood sucking vampire” or something anyway.
I think Americans want a statesman. We will have one again. But maybe, just maybe, Trump (as a street fighter) needs to clear the way first.
He never starts it. But if you mess with him….he finishes it. He is the great disruptor, the great revealer.
They tried to assassinate him….and they tried to put him in prison for life. So, do I care about mean tweets to the deserving?
H3ll no.
And…flash from the past. Was true then, still true now…

Can you even reach out to the other side? Past couple of days a couple of people here have posted a link to a dudes substack who is working to disbar Chief Justice Roberts. The allegations are nothing new. Are they true? Maybe yes, maybe no. What gets me is the absolute vitriol in the comments. I’ll give it to the left, they’re in absolute lock step.

YouTuber Benn Jordan discovered a surveillance company named Flock Safety who currently has over 90K camera deployed throughout the US, is severely compromised.
He found many cameras are live streaming directly to the open internet.
Disturbing video about unencrypted video recordings from Flock Safety cameras across the US. They are AI controlled pan/tilt/zoom cameras which automatically zoom to the image displayed on someone’s cellphone, or the face of someone walking on a trail. 31 days worth of these video camera recordings are stored and can be searched easily without advanced training or access. He blurred the faces of people in his samples, but was able to use facial recognition to identify specific people.
One flock camera example was installed to permanently make live recordings of children playing on a playground (useful to child traffickers). With other databases on the Internet (Police, Fire) etc. he was able to pin down extensive information about the subjects in the videos. Useful technology to enemies foreign and domestic?
