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.

President Trump confirms it: As the blockade continues, Iran is now just DAYS AWAY from their oil hitting capacity, causing DAMAGE to their extraction facilities!
“They say they only have about 3 days left before that happens.”
“When you have lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, if for any reason that line is closed because you can’t continue to put it into containers or ships…that line explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes.”
“And when it explodes, you can never, regardless, you can never rebuild it the way it was.”
“In other words, it will always be, if you rebuild it, it’s hard to rebuild it all, but it would only be about 50% of what it is right now.”
“So it’s a very powerful thing that takes place, sort of having to do with nature.”
“But when that gets clogged at the end, in other words, when you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, either put it on ships or storage tanks, which they are just about finished with, a very bad thing is going to happen.”
“So I think they’re under pressure.”
MAXIMUM LEVERAGE! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f525.svg
So in other words, they will have done it to themselves, whatever happens…
Will there be a modern sequel to the 1968 John Wayne movie “Hellfighters”?
With a little help. In late March and early April 2026, U.S. and Israeli forces conducted coordinated airstrikes on Iran’s two largest steel plants, significantly damaging the country’s industrial and military manufacturing capabilities.
Iran can’t build new storage. The left says there is no plan… lol.
They certainly can’t build anything in three days …
Once those wells are shut in, they will take close to a year to reopen. (UAE and Saudi Arabia have some fields designed to be shut in and reopened in just 3 months.)The last pre-war tanker will hit Cali this week. Then, $10 a gallon is coming. They refused to build a pipeline to Texas. And, now they are screwed.
Ummm … a pipeline from Saudi Arabia to Texas?
So in other words, they will have done it to themselves, whatever happens…
Not according to our lovely MSM. They will be reporting that it is Trump’s fault.
Don’t forget that our MSM will call it a victory for Iran while blaming Trump for everything.
Maybe, but there will never be another Red Adair, on whom the movie was based.
I have the distinct pleasure and honor of having met and then worked with Red in the 70’s and 80’s and can truthfully state that he was indeed an all American Legend.
Adair lived a few houses down where I grew up. He kept a nice boat docked behind his home.
Was partial to red Cadillacs.

Problem is that it makes it very hard for the Iranian people going forward. Even if they manage to rid themselves of this demonic regime, stability going forward relies on economic stability for the people and the country as a whole. That is what worries me about this tactic. There aren’t many options though, and I don’t expect the IRGC to capitulate. They care little for their own people, and will sacrifice them for any chance to stay in power.
”An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.”

Hitler did it.
BS. The current Iranian oil is sold below market price to China. The proceeds are controlled by the IRGC. Most is stolen by the Mullahs and the Guard. NONE of the money goes to the Iranian people now. If the collapse of the oil fields causes regime change it’s a BIG Plus for the Iranian citizens. Even at 50% capacity.
Not a problem for the Iranians; instead of putting the oil into containers or ships, they will dump the excess oil into the Persian Gulf.
Would not surprise me.
Leftists would blame President Trump, of course.
Not a smart plan.
Ecological terrorism can be stopped by bombing the pipelines inland from Kharg Island.
Unless the oil is loaded on ships and sailed right through the blockade. Oil is fungible.
Wells can be shut down for a period of time by turning off the pumps? There has to be a way to shut down pipelines because there must be a way so that repair or maintenance can be performed as needed. Refineries can be shut down but it is a process called “turnaround” and is done on a scheduled basis under normal circumstances for cleaning and routine maintenance. So what is this about? Someone stated shutting down allows seepage of sand, etc into the well but casing should help prevent this?
Any experts in Iranian oil wells and infrastructure here on our site? Otherwise this assertion that “things explode” is puzzling.
I’ve been watching oil consultants on WarRoom for the last two weeks explain that they only had approximately 13 days before these wells suffered irreversible damage. No, they cannot be turned on and off like a spigot.
This is an emergency for the Iranians, a natural consequence of the embargo, and one that the people in charge (whoever that is) could have, should have, avoided.
They still possibly could, barely, but pride is a powerful force.
So the well pumps can’t be turned off? Pumps like any mechanical device can quit working and need to be replaced but this isn’t possible? Pipelines need to be repaired but there is no way to turn off the flow in the pipeline? That is odd.
Not sure about “explosions” in the wells. Seems odd to me as well.
Shutting in a well can cause the paraffin(wax) to solidify causing issues.
Industry sources do indicate Iranian oil is more viscous than what is typically produced in the U.S. and might make “clogging” more of an issue for production and movement through pipelines.
But all of this can be shut down even if clogs have to mitigated once flow resumes, so still no “explosion”.
Personally, I hope we destroy this regime. They are irredeemable. Blockading their oil shipping and cutting off their financial sources should collapse them. The IRGC has their own personal wealth, track it down and confiscate it.
It would be bad engineering for there to only be one critical path for the petroleum to flow in the pipelines.
For facilities that are designed for a high level of uptime, continuous operations would obviate redundancies and backups so that parts of the system can be shutdown periodically for maintenance and repairs with minimal disruption.
This would not fix storage problems however with where to put the extracted petroleum.
If petroleum ceases to be extracted there won’t be a storage problem.
But whatever. Looking forward to the promised “Explosion”.
It’s not pride, it’s religous fanaticism. They will let it all collapse and fail before they’ll accept the terms set down by President Tump.
And the Propaganda Parrot Media is carrying their water for them and convincing the ignorant masses that the IRGC is winning this.
Good Dog! Have a Steak!
In short form, you have underlined the truth. Their fanatical adherence to a fake god will not allow them to alter their fate.
Propaganda only works with the weak and infantile mind. The majority of American citizens can understand what they are seeing. If a million people are delude, that leaves 350 million others who are not fooled.
Happy 250th Birthday, great American patriot.
Not an expert by any means but wells are shut off for a number of reasons. My engineering background logically concludes that shutting off wells is expensive, labor intensive, and likely damages some systems that makes it more difficult to turn them back on.
I don’t believe the wells have pumps but operate on pressure and if there is no storage, you can’t just stop the flow without major operations.
They use “water flooding” around the wells or most likely natural gas and foam forced down into one side of outside layer of the casing structure. This can be shut down. As to expense or the actual procedure involved, no idea.
Hi Risa, I am not an expert on oil, or decipering Trump, but believe the descrepancy over explosion is between a controlled shutdown and a high volume shutdown. Because Iran is dragging its feet until storage is maxed out, they are walking right up to the dangerous pressure buildup zone. And even if they shut downsafely, the long term wounds to their oil fields will be severe and expensive to fix.
While we are looking at descrepanics, most new outlets are talking a couple of weeks, not 3 days. this could be Trumps agressive reporting styule, or perhaps better intellegence.
Thy will be done.
Why didn’t that happen when Ukraine shut off the pipeline to Hungary?
A pipeline is not an oil well! 😉

I’m getting a little tired of lefties trying to kill my guy.
There are plenty on the right who would do the job as well. Have you not noticed the Senate for the past year?
I have always believed there were people in GOP leadership positions that knew about Butler. It was supposed to take care of the GOP’s “Trump Problem”. The GOP hates Trump more than the democrats do. The democrats can use Trump to rally voter support and it works very well. The GOP has the opposite problem. They are fully aligned against Trump in every way, but can’t say it. They have to engage in their political theater and deception, hoping to run the clock out of the first two years and hand the house and senate to the democrats in Nov. So far, it’s working great, just like in Trump’s first term. 15 wasted months in the can, 6 or 7 to kill-off.
The Whole Gang was sitting at the Convention, awaiting the good news. It was supposed to be a Nimrata/Mt. Pompous MAGA Unity Ticket.
They did not go through all their surgeries for nothing ya know.
I remember Mike Pompeo and Nimrada crawling out from under the woodwork the day before Butler to say they were available to run for President.
No such thing as coincidence in politics!
I think both should be among the first passengers to Mars.

We have reached a point where leftist adult children seek approval from their peers regardless of moral or legal restraint. It is a psychopathy that has reached the level of a religious fervor for them. Theyre already making Cole a sex symbol and many publicly voicing disappointment he failed in his attempt.
We are looking at a generation of sociopaths which the democrats and their media allies exploit. We have entered the era of voilence as political tool.
The St Floyd riots should have been the wake up call. Antifa exists at the whim of the FBI it could easily be stymied and fractured but people protesting at abortion centers or demanding girls and womens areas remain free of males that claim theyre women are portrayed and investigated as domestic terrorists.
Whats funny in this case is Cole clearly expected to die thats why hes not talking now. His martyr fantasy has been upset and the virtue signalling quashed. He cant function.

Great point, convincing yourself that you’re going to die becoming a socialist icon, the stuff legends are made of. . .
Then realizing you’ve instantly become, just another one of the hundreds of thousands of Prisoners, inside the Federal BoP’s system. . .
Then, realizing you’re 160lbs of helpless target and you will be there until you’re dead, one way or the other. . .
Really plays with your mind, something that’s a key factor in convincing some, to cooperate. . .
Remember, though, that a DC judge will impose the sentence. Funny how there are no good federal judges in DC despite republican presidencies. I wonder if some blue slip rule applies to it that prevents presidents from appointing good judges, similar to what happens in states with Dem senators. The republican judges appointed in those states, by and large, may as well be openly registered democrats.

It seems we are mostly there…
They implemented special penalties for “hate crimes,” whatever the hell that is. How can one commit murder, robbery or assault without hate in their heart?
Regardless, severe penalties should be put in place to punish people for assassination attempts on a president, like public firing squad. Punishment should be swift and severe to discourage even idiots.
Saw the clip of Erika Kirk escorted out while having a flashback.
Enough of this.
Fight’s on, MFr’s.
On congress lady wrote, “Quit trying to murder the president.”
So this dude hates Christians, and also calls Trump “the AntiChrist”? How illogical is that? If you hate Christians, wouldn’t the AntiChrist be a good thing? This is what happens to a brain on an overdose of progressive “thinking”.
I bet if someone gets this guy’s medical records, you will see plenty of psychotropic drug scripts issued by “mental health professionals”. Those types of drugs are well-know to induce suicide and/or extreme violent acts. I have no idea why these drug companies haven’t been sued out of business?
If you look at the pictures of the guy when he won “teacher of the month” compared to his mug shot, he looks like he aged 20 years. His got those SSRI eyes too. Probably another case of pharma causing more problems than it solves.
Big Pharma. Too big to fail.
Fatal mistake is to try to apply any logic. It does have a place for these people. Cultist have to do a lot of pretending to justify their actions and ideologies.

He hates the made up “Christian nationalists” that the left drones on about. I read that he attended some leftwing church, so he probably calls himself a Christian.

Still wondering why nobody asks RFKjr why he has not removed the Prep Act???
This is something to watch closely…

What steps would he need to follow to remove this act?
He alone can do it…that is it!
Why hasn’t he???
So, he just comes on TV and says “I declare the Prep Act to be removed” and that’s it?
Here’s what HHS can do:
1. End the PREP Act’s active protectionsThe PREP Act only “turns on” when the HHS Secretary issues a PREP Act declaration for a public health emergency.
👉 Once that happens, the liability protections largely stop applying going forward (with some wind-down provisions for prior actions).
2. Narrow the scope of protectionsEven while a declaration is active, HHS can revise it to:
👉 This doesn’t repeal the law—but it can significantly shrink its impact.
3. Amend or withdraw specific guidanceHHS has issued multiple amendments and advisory opinions over time. It can:

When will people realize that a US Government EXECUTIVE BRANCH Official cannot undo an ACT (Law) of Congress, which has been signed into LAW.
Even President Trump is powerless to directly undo an ACT of CONGRESS.
The Executive branch, per the Constitution and Law of the and is REQUIRED to IMPLEMENT ACTS (Laws) and COMPLY with the requirements of that ACT (Law).
Normally … and especially (specifically) pertaining to the current Executive Branch lead by President Trump there are only 2-choices to undo an ACT of Congress signed into Law.
Sue via the Federal and Supreme Courts to have the law overturned as illegal or Unconstitutional.
…. or PROPOSE new legislation to amend, replace and undo an existing law … then have congress pass the proposed legislation. Unlike Obama and Auto-Pen Biden …. legally the President cannot write an Executive Order that undoes an existing ACT (Law).
Unlike the latitude the Uni-Party, since 2008, allowed the Obama and Auto-Pen Biden’s regimes … President Trump’s administration is required to toe the line 100% or face dire consequences.
This fact is what makes the simultaneous corruption the House of Representatives, the Senate and Judicial System such an effective roadblock to a President like Donald Trump.
This fact is a major check on the two legal routes that President Trump’s Administration is forced to travel to undo harmful legislation as well as enact his proposed legislation … especially codification of his Executive Orders and DOGE findings.
We should be nice, some of the questions we see reflect the fact that civics, history, American government system, our Constitution, these just are not taught with the seriousness needed to understand and appreciate why the United States is different and, yes, better than the functioning of other countries. BETTER.
I’ve been reading here for about 15 years, and have learned much from my fellow treepers. And I’m a retired lawyer.
Also, we have new readers regularly as more and more people realize they’ve been lied to for their entire lives by the mockingbird media and, with the contagion of the internet, learn about this excellent site.
I see some of the comments and am reminded why the free – FREE – classes offered by Prager University are such a boon; we should all take the proferred classes and contribute per our respective ability.
Like Charlie Kirk, I believe an appreciation for our republican system, beautifully and thoughtfully designed, can only result from an understanding. This is the exact reason most public schools have dispensed with the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Ten Commandments, the study of Latin and the classics, or an impartial study of our own three branches, what they are/cover and how they work.
It is probably very confusing right now because we have about 800 judges who each imagine themselves to be THE Executive, rather than mostly superfluous after the fact additions to the Judicial Branch, trying to undermine the three branch government.
For years we referred to the media as the fourth branch of government, due to their outsized influence. But for the last few decades we see that the elites, globalists, continuity-of-government types, the intelligence community, whatever you call it has served as the Fifth Column, mostly in conjunction with the media.
I agree with your comment and would add … The 5th Column you cite actually owns the 4th Branch of the Government (the media) and is the agent of corruption seen in the Legislative and Judicial Branches I cite..
You’re probably correct. I was trying to argue for extending grace to all of us learning every day.
(Or learing.)
Doc and if we do some research into the media, why is there a pervasive number of Jewish persons in many positions throughout the lying, agitating, foul mouthed never ending streams of buffoons???? Just an observation that doesn’t change with the passing years.

Hopefully other “Republican” governed states use the Texas State Legislation as their model to redistrict their states, if they have not already successfully redistricted.
YES. Indiana as well, if the Pences and the other RINOs can be overpowered.
Indiana is run by the same kind of fake, corrupt republicans that used to run IL and WI. Now they are extinct, never to have any political power again in those states.
I wouldn’t place much “hope” in IN doing anything to help the GOP cause. They are getting paid to do the opposite.

Concerning the barbarous Turks…
My Army surgeon father who served during the Korean War never spoke of his experiences to me which, so my mother relayed, changed him completely.
But this is one he shared with her which filtered through…
He said that in operating upon any who were injured in that terrible war, American and otherwise, he told her that once there was one Chinese and one Turk who were placed post op side by side in recovery, space being limited in front of the front lines.
On the morning after, medical personnel came to check and found the throat of the Chinese man slit, such was the animosity of Turks towards the Chinese.

I’m in the middle of this incredible interview, Sepp, considering who is being interviewed. I agree. William is not suited for the role he cannot historically, constitutionally, or spiritually avoid. But the nut, as is said, doesn’t fall from the tree.
He has grown up with an Islamist father who is also likewise unsuitable. So I would disagree with the interviewer. Charles has no affinity for or understanding of Christianity, which he has shown time and time again. But I am in agreement that the Church of England itself bears heavy and dishonorable responsibility for the appalling abrogation of God Himself. There are plenty of heretical examples I could name.
Thank you for this and your other links, dear friend, which I continue to read/listen to. Blessed be for your week…

If you take a look at everything that Trump has been doing and has been facing since January 2025, you can’t help but think he feels pretty alone in his battles. A few of his appointments are doing great work, but most seem to be fairly business as usual. Then you get to the GOP and realize they have done nothing since taking control in January 2025. Don’t make excuses for them with their list of phony accomplishments. They haven’t done crap and everyone knows it. Trump is in this alone. GOP rhetoric and tough-talk on Fox doesn’t count. Only their actions matter and they are cowardly and deceitful. Johnson is a weenie and Thune is bought and paid for like a house slave along with the rest of the GOP senate. How much more of this stuff do you think Trump can take on his own with no support?
We’re six months away from the midterms and the democrats are still cheating in elections like nothing has changed. Truth is, nothing has changed, all by-design.
He was totally on his own in the first term. He has only a few good people around him now. You are correct, nothing has changed really. Late night ballot dumps will still be a thing in Nov. There isn’t enough time to change that, because the states and counties where this occurs won’t comply with any meaningful legislation, even if it passes. They will claim it is too late, or it will be ignored completely. After that, it doesn’t matter.
Thune is McConnell’s creature, his pet.
Where is the Save America Act at this moment. The one Thune says can’t and won’t be passed because “reasons”?
Sitting in the geriatric, mentally deficienct McConnell chaired Rules Committe.
Where is will continue to lie, gathering dust and algae.
That’s where.
Dems cheating? And getting away with it? What else is new?
Republicans sit back on their comfortable, well compensated haunches, chewing their cud, and pronounce it good.
We have no representation, and that’s a fact. America as founded has maybe two or three stalwart defenders in the House. I see none in the Senate, or else 5 of them would step forward to try to remove the greasiest poltroon of the lot.
Cornyn too
I am reading that disappeared Cornyn supporters (at one time) are drifting to the apostate Talarico. How true this is, I have no idea. But he is both repulsive and dangerous; and the thought that this Dem charlatan has the potential to become a senator both sickens and frightens me. We cannot be complacent, because Dems are not. They are highly motivated.
I ‘ve voted Paxton.
💪🏴🏴🏴

President Trump has a lot more and better administration than he’s ever had during his first term. However, the senators in the top two tiers are more democrat than repubs. You can tell by their voting records. They don’t want the Save America Act because that’s how they keep coming back no matter how lousy the vote and disliked by the people. Remember democrats pushed for those leaning liberal to become repubs to hurt the votes in congress.

There are even two airfields close by that can already handle Air Force 1 and smaller aircrat … Ft Riley (Marshall Army Airfield) and Manhattan Airport.
It is also along US I-70.
Logistically …. only a short distance away;
McConnell AFB (Wichita): Key Air Mobility Command base focused on KC-46A Pegasus refueling operations.
Forbes Field (Topeka): Home to the 190th Air Refueling Wing (ANG).
I like Leavenworth – the prison for them
Yep … that is only a short ride East on I-70 in Leavenworth KS for those requiring those types of accommodations.
Whole new facility at Leavenworth, replaces old. Should be open next month. Planned to house up to 1,500 inmates with 340 officers attending.
But really, I don’t want DC criminals that close to me.
Then piss off everybody by declaring Washington DC proper a National Park and Museum …. evict everybody but the “Park Rangers”.
Grew up not 15 miles from Lebanon, ks
What did Lebanon, Kansas ever do to deserve this?
Or Florida
It would be easier to return to Constitutionally enumerated powers limits. Once you remove feds from EVERYTHING, the opportunity to graft greatly lessens, and DC returns to its pre-air condioning size.
The graft moves back to the states.
Your federal taxes move back to you. So there is less money to graft.
When you speak of “enumerated” powers, you speak a foreign language to most. Wish more had a working knowledge – and appreciation of them!!
There is a lot to digest in what Jeff Childers writes in his daily round up.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-canary-in-the-cole-mine-monday
Good points regarding the manifesto – C. Allen is no Unibomber (whose manifesto, if you can manage to persevere your way through its dense content, is what you might expect of a brilliant but broken brain with no belief in or connection to God trying to come to terms with Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution).
Once again, POTUS is blessed with the lowest quality villains.
Childers is correct about BlueSky being a permission structure. He is also correct about the boomerang. He may be correct about the looming onset of Bleeding Kansas 2.0. Let’s pray without ceasing that we do not reach that point.
One suspects that all POTUS has to do to accelerate Bleeding Kansas 2.0 (or nip it in the bud as soon as it pops its little guillotine head up), all the way into the full use of the Insurrection Act and martial law is to arrest Brennan and Obama. Light that match, watch BlueSky accelerate into French Revolution Terror 2.0 while skipping the intermediate “moderate” phases of the mass formation psychosis . . .
And then shut it all down like cage of lightning bolts.
Yes, Van Jones is smart enough to understand the ending of the chess match being played. The BlueSky Harari hacked minds? Not so much, and probably they can’t be hacked back to reality at this point. No recall setting on the mind destruction. The DS lit a fuse it can’t stop, with an outcome it no longer controls.
No wonder Scavino is posting gifs of boomerangs (*almost certainly connecting back to Brennan’s whistleblower tweet from 2019- h/t Alpha Warrior).
In the meantime, POTUS is posting about undertaking consultations with law enforcement about whether to let The Show continue for a bit longer.
He has the control switch. It is just a matter of time as to when he presses “Go.”
Buckle up.
The Unabomber was wrecked by CIA mind-control.
But he did have an autographed copy of “Earth in the Balance”!
BlueSky, in action.
Glad to see today’s C&C was posted, came here to do exactly that if it wasn’t.
Alex makes great points, but I would like to add that Jeff’s lampooning of “the manifesto” was guffaw-level hilarious! Definitely a don’t-miss read.
My favorite sources know how to deliver hard truths with devastating humor. C&C is my new addiction after Sundance and Don Surber.
Good read.

I have come to believe that stacking vaccines on young children can’t be handled by all of them and some get autism as a result! JMO
It’s crazy all these Drs, researchers, ect somehow believe that jacking the immune system around in very unnatural ways can’t cause downstream problems. Most of the diseases that they have “vaccines” for transmit through the respiratory system. Most vaccines are injected, which bypasses many of the first immune response mechanisms. That alone should trigger skepticism.
The major reason I’m refusing chemo and radiation for cancer is that it essentially destroys the immune system. The drs tout a five year remission rate, but before or soon after the cancer returns due to the immune system being severely damaged in the process. I tend to think it should be illegal, like mRNA. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry at taxpayer expense so its here to stay.
I encourage you to look deeply into the Independent Medical Alliance, and especially the writings of Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Kelly Victory, Dr, ? Makis (now residing in Fla, I believe), and others.
I am not a health professional, but I didn’t take the Covid “vaccine”. If my family health group suggested that I had cancer, I’d be off in a flash to either The Wellness Group or Dr. Makis.
Thanks Cantc! Will check that out. BTW, never took the poison vaxx so that should help going forward.
Hopefully you’ve looked into Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Many cancer patients have had success with that combo.
Yes, have gone that route but am hesitant to use continously/indefinitely.
1,000 upvote on this comment.
Soozward, I drastically reduced my kidney ailment by a regimen of daily Ivermectin(By over 2/3). I’m convinced that IVM not only shrunk my malady, but helped keep it within margins. I lost my R kidney, it was cancer, but I never considered it such as they never biopsied the mass, just scheduled to remove fairly quick.
I’m a fortunate one. My nephrologists step father had the same malady and sadly died within 3 weeks.
I had a friend sending me Ivermectin monthly as she has a place in Baja. It’s legal in ID but doctors won’t issue prescription for it, despite it having won a Nobel prize.
Peace be with you through this journey.
Saddened to hear about your diagnosis. Depends on the nature of the cancer. But chemo, in particular is a can kicking scenario at best. It can buy time, but the cancer essentially evolves to resist it, which is why you can’t use the same chemo drugs when the cancer re-emerges. Once the cancer comes, back it does so with a vengeance. There are some researchers and Drs that are no wondering weather it just makes things worse ultimately.
Am interested in immune stimulation approaches but so far anything I find is not for my rare type or I’m not terminal stage IV. Too bad because I should be an excellent candidate for recovery since to all appearances I’m in the picture of health.
General immune system stimulation:
10 to 20 thousand vitamin D – as long as your blood test numbers for D stay under 100, your good. Best are ones with coconut oil (D is fat soluble).
1 to 3 thousand vitamin C – limit is the effect on your digestive system – can space it out over the course of the day (1000/meal for example).
Get exercise and fresh air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regarding the Fenbendazole – give yourself a day off every 3 or take the weekend off. Take milk thistle daily (too much Fenben can cause liver issues if you don’t flush – hence the milk thistle and periodic days off).
Regarding the IVM dose (remember you had issues at a high dose) – know people that have done 1 mg/3 lbs for periods > 1 year.
~~~~~~~~~
Add the best natural, unadulterated, unprocessed food you can afford. Grass fed beef, local farm eggs, truly organic colorful veggies and fruit (purple, red, blue – anti-oxidants and polyphenol rich). Grow whatever you can yourself so you know it’s unadulterated. In general, no sugar, low starch. Use raw honey if you need sweetener for anything.
My best friend got lymph gland cancer at 19, went through chemo and radiation and he is still alive 50 years later.
So, it works for some at least.
Thank you.
Most new moms are young and ignorant of all these vaccines…those pushing them on unsuspecting new parents’ babies, are not.
All one has to do is look at the Amish autism rate compared to general population.
So true steph.
We have a lot of Amish neighbors and shop at their stores.
Many are friends and we have been to their social activities, weddings etc.
It is rare to see an obese Amish.
All of them from the children up to the grand parents seem robust and healthy, clear eyed and strong.
Like much of us here in America use to be decades ago.
In scientific terms, the Amish are the control group.
Not having seen statistics, I would bet the rate of autism among Amish is zero.
As a complete non-medical layperson I sometimes wonder if this was the result, intended or not, of treating pregnancy and childbirth as diseases which must be treated in hospital.
My grandmother had 11 children, the first ten at home. She said the most pain she ever suffered in childbirth was with the 11th, in the hospital, and I was never told of any unusual circumstances necessitating a hospital birth other than the difference in culture from 1912 to 1939.
If childbirth is a disease rather than a natural function then you must be in hospital. If the baby is a result of the disease then it must be treated – before he’s even had a chance to get sick.
Our healthcare system has everyone so terrified of something that is such a natural function that everyone must be hospitalized for it. If a woman is YOUNG and healthy there should be no logical reason that they could not deliver at home with a midwife attending.
Details, as provided by Brave’s AI,
about 50 million children in public k-12 system and about 5 million in private schools.
3.8 million kids enter k each year. 3.5 million are fully vaccinated. After the pandemic, rates fell from 95% to about 92.5%.
I have no clue how that translates into yearly numbers of kids getting vaccinations or total number of vaccinations each year. but that Healthbot twit says 78 million school kids every year. Some fraction of the 55 million school children need additional shots each year. 55 million school kids × 72 vaccines / 13 years works out to 304 million vaccinations yearly at 100% but not accounting for multiple vaccines in a shot or multiple boosters being required. Also many vaccines happen prior to school, so limiting it to schoolchildren misses quite a few vaccinations.
Having possibly confused you, it worries me that people use errant numbers to push their case.
I watched part of a show on the Chernobyl disaster that claimed that type of reactor was the first ever designed to produce electricity. Well, yes. But it wasn’t the first to produce electricity. Nor was it the first designed solely to produce electricity. It was a breeder reactor that makes plutonium for bombs. Qualifiers like that are designed to give false impressions. So too do questionable numbers.
I read a detailed book on Chernobyl a couple years ago. You are right, the reactors were based on very faulty military breeder type and then stupidly supersized. The immediate crisis was caused by a extremely overbearing supervisor who was completely untrained in nuclear engineering. He forced the young, intimidated technicians to complete a test in an unsafe manner.
RFK Jr. doesn’t state it here, but he’s said it elsewhere, the vaccines contain such things as aluminum, formaldehyde and mercury. Yes, each individual vaccine contains less than the recommended amount per dose. However, there has been no testing on the cumulative effects of of these carcinogens. They (big pharma, who’s getting rich, and our government who is mandating these vaccines) are killing us.
Note, medical freedom is making your own choices, and those of your children. Mandated vaccines is not freedom.
This why we wanted RFK Jr. on the MAHA job.
“So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines… And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children… ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy.”
“Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation… to one in every 34 kids today.”
So on average every classroom has one child with Autism! Unbelievable!
Oh, Canada!
Carney wants to build sovereign wealth fund built on debt?
Let’s not forget that one of Brookfield’s major investment strategies is to leverage such funds (including government and union pensions etc.) to de-risk its own position while scaling up its green portfolio.
From which Carney stands to make tens if not hundreds of millions.
Prolly just a coincidence though, right? 😉
BTW, Mario FTW! A legal immigrant to Canada as a child, he’s worked his ass off to build several successful businesses. 👍 💯

Take a number, Mark. We’ll get to you.
The “I will gladly pay you Wednesday for a hamburger today” economics has been proven a failure! I guess Carney didn’t take Economics 101 in college!

a new video from Professor David Clements, this one titled “Trump’s Genius: Ciphers, The Science of Jarring Messages, and The Fixer” 40 min. in length.
https://professordavidclements.substack.com/p/trumps-genius-ciphers-the-science
he mentions the Q thing but don’t make assumptions (he likes it or doesn’t like it) until listening to the whole thing, which is because his point is ciphers, how jarring messages break up the status quo and how President Trump uses those tools.
Excellent video. Just finished it. Thanks for posting, now I gotta cut and paste and pass it along.
If you read, for example, The Art of the Deal, Trump actually talks about such tactics. The point is that your opponent knows that you are determined to do something. (So, he is under pressure.) But, he cannot predict what that action is going to be. The clock is ticking.
Mind you: You never say anything that is outright false, lest you be accused of doing something criminal. But you leave your opponent off-base and bewildered. Be utterly truthful in all legal and financial-institution disclosures and all matters of law, but leave your opponent confused.
My thanks, as well, Bessie!
Thank you Bessie… always both a treat and an edification; I am Thankful to this Velvet-Voiced Professor for his articulate presentations.
Re: Q:
The wholesale derision & vilification by the (covert & overt) minions – aka influencers & disinformation agents *of all the “here’s-what-I-&-you-should-think” stripes* – ought to be reason enough to look at what’s there…. to see and decide for one’s self.
Making assumptions = believing what the influencer minions of all stripes have said about it rather than reading for one’s self.
Thank you First Lady! We all know his network supports this kind of hate filled rhetoric as long as it’s against Republicans!!!
PDJT is not shy about suing these major broadcast companies…time will tell.
In a normal era when we were a normal country he would be considered guilty of slander. Extreme, harmful, hurtful, knowing, intentional slander.
And ABC is complicit.
In many ways, I grieve for the many cold hearted and nasty people that inhabit America…that get perverted joy out of hurting and scaring other people.
And so are the people who watch this crap.
Which again underscores – there is only one side to the political/religious violence we are seeing.
One side and one side only…
Demonrats, their friends, supporters, allies and sycophants.
I cancelled ABC from my favorites channel selection and cancelled all my recording of their shows. I don’t know if this action will have much impact but I hope it is detectable on scale.
Need to do the same for ESPN, Disney and everything Disney produces.
The ball is in The Mouse’s (ABC) court. To save The Mouse’s reputation …

I loathe John Thune.
As well as loathe the Republican Uni-Party Members that help keep Thune in his job as senate leader.
that would be the entire GOP senate (all of them). I haven’t heard a single one talking about ousting Thune. They are all in full-alignment with the political theater and crossing days off the Trump Countdown Calendar. Six months to go and the GOP Trump problem ends for good.
For people that still don’t think the house and senate are being tossed on-purpose, I have no idea how much more of your GOP you need to see? They are much worse and much more evil than any of us even know…….

40th Anniversary of USS Missouri’s Recommissioning
Honoring the Recommissioning Crew | Battleship Missouri Memorial, Pearl Harbor
In 1986, the legendary USS Missouri returned to active service, marking a new chapter in the ship’s extraordinary history. Four decades later, the Battleship Missouri Memorial is proud to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the ship’s recommissioning and honor the sailors who brought the “Mighty Mo” back to life, the dedicated Mighty Mo Sailors known as the Recommissioning Crew.
Now permanently berthed in historic Pearl Harbor, the Battleship Missouri Memorial continues to serve as a powerful symbol of service, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of the U.S. Navy. On May 9 & 10, 2026, we invite members of the Recommissioning Crew to return to the ship they helped restore to greatness for a special day of remembrance, camaraderie, and celebration.

Hi Treepers- am I missing something on tariff refunds? Did the Supreme Court rule for tariff refunds? I did a quick search but just saw a pause currently…..
Hey, Tiff.
I don’t think they have ruled again, but PDT set up a system.
No, it was the US Court of International Trade that ordered the refunds. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump could not use the statute he used.
Funny how the people who passed tariff costs on to their customers get refunds too. (Well, some got discounts from their Chinese vendors, but either way, this is double dipping.)
It is absurd! They are getting a windfall.
The court should have just said cancel the tariffs and moved on… no refunds!
Thank you. 😊
A Case Study on Secret Service Protocols.
This past weekend’s failures at the White House Correspondents Dinner once again puts the spotlight on the Secret Service. Unfortunately, the Secret Service should NEVER have a spotlight on them. Their job is to not ever be seen. That’s the idea.
The simple fact that the event site in DC wasn’t completely secure is extremely troubling. Exits were left unguarded, elevators operated normally, guests came and went, and hotel guests weren’t sequestered nor subject to baggage inspections as they checked in/out. That should NEVER happen.
I have some intimate knowledge and experience working with the Secret Service. I worked hand-in-glove with them when I carried the Nuclear Football for the Clinton administration. It was an incredible professional privilege to work with them. Great guys and great girls.
I dug through some of my White House trip books last night to relive some of those events. Just to recall how the Secret Service operated in those days.
Here is one in particular that highlights the differences between then and now.
In 1996, I was traveling with Bill Clinton on a trip to NYC. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria for a few days of fundraising events. In those days, the Secret Service took over and secured the top 3 floors of the hotel. I stayed in a room adjacent to Clinton on the top floor.
ALL entrances and exits were closed with 24 hour around the clock posts of agents. There was no access. Period. The elevators were all locked out from the top 3 floors. A Secret Service agent rode the elevator between the upper floors and checked everybody’s ID. Room keys weren’t accepted as ID, only official White House credentials. ALL bags were screened.
It was super tight. I was dating my wife, Nichole, at the time and she was living in New York working as a flight attendant for Delta. Since I was in town, she visited one evening and we were going to grab dinner at the hotel.
I informed the Secret Service lead. He, personally, went down to the lobby, checked her ID, and escorted her up to the top floor. That’s how tight.
Flash forward to today. NONE of these policies were in effect in DC. Why?
Is the Secret Service extremely undermanned? Democrats haven’t funded them for months. Or, is it lack of leadership?
I think it’s the latter.
Scary to think about the differences. I have had the feeling that security has been lax although no real way of knowing just a gut feeling. I hope this gets addressed soon.
It was clear that the SS was not the highly respected and professional organization we thought it was when the Kenyan’s agents were caught with their pants down in Brazil – all because they thought they could get by with not paying their, ahem, dates.
Said dates became vocal!
The agents literally cleared a path for the runner. It was like the introductions at the start of a sportsball game. Surprised the agents didn’t high five him on his way in. Just no situational awareness at all
I call for bolos
Equip and train all agents in use of bolos
No more worrying about “should I shoot?” “are there friendlys in my shooting sight scene?”
Just unholster your bolo, give it a few whirls and let go
Perpetrator brought crashing down in a tangle of bound ankles
yay!
bolos, y’all
If your girlfriend had arrived by train or bus or ferry, she could have had her disassembled gun in her luggage and carried her overnight bag (“over-sized purse”) to the servants galley, dressed in appropriate uniform of hotel wait staff, and while you went to the bathroom to shower, she could have been sprinting down the hallway towards Secret Service. Scenarios are a jumbled mix of luck and skill. Possibilities are endless.
I am curious about security for past White House Correspondents events. Security in NYC is very different than security for press.
Have they always been this lax for these media events? Or was security better for Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama. There were even protests about Gaza outside when Biden went in 2024. Was security that bad just 2 years ago in the face of protests?
If it is DHS control, then it would be bad under Obama and Biden. If it wasn’t bad for those two than the bad security is an intentional dereliction of duty to President Trump.
Secret Service Protocols don’t work if the agents are DEI hires! Short obese agents are a deadly liability! JMO
As expected SCOVA judges centered their questions whether the state’s Democratic-led legislature complied with constitutional requirements when it sent a congressional redistricting map to voters. If the SCOVA agrees that lawmakers broke the rules, it could invalidate the amendment and render last week’s statewide vote meaningless.
Virginia Supreme Court weighs legality of Democratic redistricting plan after voters approved it
Virginia Supreme Court considers whether to block voter-approved US House map favoring Democrats
Hopefully the VA courts side with the plaintiffs .. my faith in the VA Court is not so high at this point, we’ll see.
I hope the RNC is ready to hop over to the Federal Court System with a Civil Rights Case …. heck it would be interesting to include arguments centered on non-White “republicans” and “non-democrats” in those arguments. Voting Rights Acts cut both ways right ???
I would also suggest looking at the TX Redistricting Case … as a reference to point out flaws in the VA Redistricting Plan.
SCOTUS gave TX (GOP + 5) AND CA (GOP -5) the green light because claims that a map is unconstitutional because it was drawn to achieve a partisan end are not justiciable in federal court [Rucho v Common Cause (18-422, 6/27/19)].
If the referendum survives in SCOVA and gives the state legislature (instead of Redistriction Commission) the power to draw the map, any possible SCOTUS elevation will be to late for 2026 midterms: Early voting for primaries starts a 6/19/26.
They clearly did go against the constitution in 4 ways. The question is…will they have the courage to do what the laws and constitution actually require?
The litigation over the ballot measure also spans three separate cases involving four constitutional claims and multiple statutory challenges, underscoring the unusually complex dispute over the amendment’s validity:
Ruking is expected next month.
Virginia Supreme Court questions defenders of redistricting ballot measure
‘Dud’ lawmakers…..👍
Any they changed the rules after early voting started.
I simply believe that Congressional districts should be plotted according to population density.
Yep. AI could handle this for all 50 states in minutes.
I was listening to the case. It really brought in to question what Election means. Does it mean the whole process like voter registration to early voting…..etc. The Dem idiot from the state was arguing that the only thing that matters is “Election Day”. That is what the Feds Constitution supports. Everything else is just support for that. If that is the case, then mail in ballots and early elections should be banned since it is not elections. Mail in should not count. I think the Dems just muddied the issues and just made things a lot worst for them. They did not think this out and the blow back could be huge.
SCOVA didn’t argue about state law’s requirement to compose compact, proportional districts.
SCOVA could have taken the legislative invalidities as a reason to cancel the referendum, but it did not. Now that the voters have spoken, why should the judiciary declare their will null and void?
Don’t shoot the messenger: I have a bad feeling…
funny how members of the GOP house and senate are safe from assassination and violence. Only “doers” get targeted. The do-nothings are as safe as can be. It must make them smile when they see Trump having to endure attempts on his life over and over. They aren’t worried…. none of them will ever be targeted because none of them do anything. They are as useless as a whore in church.
As my grandpa would crudely put it: “Useless as tits on a boar hog.” 🤡
Steve Scalise would beg to differ with you….
We don’t have to imagine, they’ve told us:
End the filibuster
Pack the SC ‘til they can get any opinion they want
Impeach President Trump
Impeach VP Vance
Defund permanently DHS/Open borders
Weaponize the criminal justice system to target everyone they don’t like

Kimmel is a POS!! If you said that about his wife he would start to cry.. pussy man!
Horrible comedian not at all funny. Also very ugly inside and out.
Little stick……………..Ha!!!!
Press is reporting that the Iranians have proposed a deal to end the blockade that would leave nukes to be addressed at a later date.
NO!
Was it Mullah LucyFootball again?
“Clue ya!” The next ruler of Iran is not going to be an old Mullah named Kahmeini!
We know perfectly well that your so-called “religion” says that it’s okay to lie through your teeth to “infidels” (like us …), and to pretend to make peace l long enough to regroup and attack again. We know that you want to ignite “the Apocalypse” so that your “Imam” will pop up out of his hole in the ground. You want to build “13 nuclear bombs” in order to set them off.
Well, the rest of the planet is not waiting for your “virgins.” We think that global radiation poisoning is not a grand idea.
You had “47 years.” When the dust settles – and you determine how much “dust” that will be – you are not going to get “48.” I don’t yet know exactly by what means, or by whom, you will be deposed from power, but: “your days are done.”
Lousy deal. Non starter.
Opening Strait was a CONDITION for ceasefire. They did not comply.
Blockade was answer for non compliance. And it’s wrecking them.
Want blockade ended? Agree to give up nukes and uranium and funding terror.
Otherwise:
President Trump has them pinned on the mat (oil storage) and the ref’s next number in the count is 7.
Finish them.
The press has been making a very concerted and determined effort to push Iranian talking points…and put out rumors that “PDJT is thinking of doing” things he has absolutely no intention of doing to try to put pressure in their desired direction. 😉

According to CBS News, Wiles, who oversees the Secret Service, has ordered a review of security at the White House dinner event to assess what additional measures will need to be taken to further protect Trump.
Wiles’ bold move comes as she and the Secret Service have found themselves in hot water over the shooting, as they allowed the gunman to go through a checkpoint with the apparent intention of attacking guests.
The security breach could not have come at a worse time for Wiles, as one source claimed her job may be on the line, especially after not firing Secret Service director Sean Curran, after Trump promoted him in 2025.

Mertz is saying the U.S. is losing and that Iran has the upper hand in the negotiations and that the U.S. has no exit plan.
IMO: This should be the last straw. The three amigos, Starmer, Macron and Mertz have taken over the EU and NATO. They are clearly turning their back on the U.S. and is time to exit NATO.
I surely hope that King Charles does not manage to manipulate President Trump using past friendship.
he is an idiot…germany surrendered their nuclear power infrastructure and now they freeze every winter
Re: Economy
– someone in the Denver area got a $ 1 million loan to improve a building and start a business. Loan rate 4.7 %
[ I have never in 3 decades, had a fixed mortgage rate that low ].
Bank CD’s
short term interest, 3 months, 3.7%
long term interest, 2 yr 3.2%
[ usually longer term CD’s pay a higher interest rate. But not today. i.e. bankers think interest are heading downward ( not because of the current fed chairman )
– ( comparative drive by over the last 2 years) there is A LOT of cattle being fed, big herds, in western NE
( the long term supply of beef is going up – via an easing of regulations – to help meet the beef demand and over time the cost of beef may decline at the stores )
Those are some indicators of a growing economy.
Imho
p.s.
rocking back the 40 some years of I ran terror / oil miss influences can also help the
global peaceful cultures and economies : )
The Persians may like that too, over time. : )
Love thy neighbors…
The alleged shooter in DC last Sat night,
from CA.,
likely did not notice the cattle herd size,
because the Amtrak travels across Ne. at night.
( but travels through scenic rocky mountains during daylight : ) )

Unfortunately calling them out by name seems to do little other than give them more publicity.
Their code is to cause MORE chaos by throwing matches on the fire.
Narcissists love the attention.

I have to applaud your choice of words: protuberence.
I saw nothing wrong with her dress. It moved as she walked down the steps, there is a panel of buttons down the front and it seems to be a lovely swishy fabric.
The perp from Saturday night, got hit with transporting firearms over state lines…woo hoo…now since there were rumors of him being in Chicago…changing trains?
So where is Pritzker on that? I am willing to bet that there is no FOID card in Cole’s wallet…
The perp needs some state charges, too?
Or the Mayor, the FBJ not to be confused with FJB….he has nothing to say?

they’re hitting him with the most immediate charges they can bring that don’t require questioning or investigation … where evidence is obvious and flat on the surface
the first charges brought get him held while they investigate further
Thank you…I don’t know much about law…but I do know that if you have a gun in IL, you better have that FOID cared ready and more available than your driver’s license. And if i am not mistaken, IL does not have reciprocity for gun registration…and purposes of transport, unless they have modernized the laws.
What the ?
Contact the EPA.
What’s up Lee Zeldin?
“In a historic and deeply controversial federal action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), alongside NOAA, NOAA Fisheries, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, authorized the first-ever permitted ocean geoengineering experiment involving the release of approximately 65,000 liters—roughly 17,000 gallons—of 50% sodium hydroxide solution, commonly known as caustic soda or lye, into U.S. federal waters off the coast of Massachusetts.
The LOC-NESS (Locking Ocean Carbon in the Northeast Shelf and Slope) experiment, led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, involved dispersing this highly corrosive chemical mixture into the Wilkinson Basin, approximately 38 miles off Cape Cod.
The move was an attempt to artificially increase ocean alkalinity and enhance carbon dioxide absorption as part of climate intervention research.”

I’m sure that’ll work out great.
I’m sure Bob Ballard was the Anthony Fauci in this situation and convinced Zeldin it would be fine.
Hmmm, perhaps controlled experiment like take a big contained pool (with basic ocean chemistry then an appropriate amount in that pool to see any effect.
But, at least its off Massachusetts and not Georgia or Florida.
This is INSANITY! What will be the unintended consequences of this ridiculousness?
Not only are Democrats violent they’re also wine thieves! Who knew?
“A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. ”
You can chock this X post up to fake news. The gunman opened fire over an hour before this Peter guy claimed he heard noises.
Peculiar analysis of audience’s response to assassination attempt by an event organizer:
“A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said “I just wanna go home.” She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.
That’s the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador’s residence would need to be rescheduled. “

This is disgusting. It proves the folly of letting people live here who don’t understand the basics of this country or Western civilization.
From her background, what she understands is graft. The way she sees this country is that it’s a piggy bank for any and all to steal from, and that’s what she does.
Someone could argue that 99% of others in Congress are there to get what they can, so she’s no different. Sadly, that’s also true.
But you’d think they would get rid of her for no other reason than she makes it clear what they’re all doing and without the polished veneer they work at maintaining.
What a Moron!
Reminder that Norah O’Donnell squashed CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting on Hunter Biden laptop before the 2020 election.
Herridge later was forced out of CBS.
O’Donnell keeps her job, applying the opposite standards to Trump than she did with Biden. nypost.com/2024/11/04/media/…
Various Communists on YouTube are trying to crow that the 60-Minutes interview with Nor-duh O’Duh-nnell was “a disaster” for President TRUMP.
I will not bother with links.
Such “shows” are, of course, more proof of the delusional and Through-the-Looking-Glass thinking of the Communists.
My favorite: “ANOTHER FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!!”
How fake was the bullet fired at the Secret Service agent? And were the Secret Service agents firing blanks?

NEW: King Charles and Queen Camilla have landed and taken part in a welcoming ceremony before heading to the White House for tea with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Should they check the King and Queen for suicide vests?
Were there No Kings protests?
Thank you. Singapore is 14 hours ahead. So any news may seem late or inaccurate.

Trump endorses the idea of changing ICE to NICE
President Donald Trump endorsed the idea of renaming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (NICE).
In a Truth Social post, he shared a screenshot of a post on X in which someone had written, “I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday.”
“GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT. President DJT” Trump wrote on the Truth Social post.

I like it but they will find a way to make it obnoxious.
Neek-see so it sounds a little like nazi?
That idea has been floating around for months.
I first heard it from Victor Davis Hanson.
Glad to see POTUS adopt it.

WARNING: Very Anti-Trump and Anti-General Michael Flynn article from MSNow
Trump’s Justice Department agrees to a second settlement with Michael Flynn
The Trump administration has agreed to a second settlement with former national security adviser and Trump ally Michael Flynn, according to a court document filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
The settlement relates to a civil suit Flynn brought against the United States government, in which he alleges that the U.S. Army illegally garnished his retirement pay.
It’s not yet clear exactly how much this second settlement will be worth. The latest court documents, filed Friday, said the two sides “have agreed to a settlement in principle,” though they’ll “need more time to finalize and implement the agreed-upon settlement.”
