The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.

Day 120 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common. He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore. He is not afraid to call out our enemies.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
Amen
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Amen.
CNN was on the front lines in Ukraine, in a taped report that just ran. That’s the first actual report on the ground that I have seen. It showed some drone attacks repelled by Ukrainian soldiers by shooting guns at them. It was obviously a well-established Ukrainian position because they had miles of nets set up to stop the birdlike drones. Why are they putting reporter boots on the ground now?
Obviously, the news media doesn’t want you to see for yourself what’s going on in Ukraine. They only want you to know what you are told!
Because the end is near?
The Ukraine war was supposed to influence the elections, well, Trump’s part in them. CIA antiTrump agenda.
But the media are setting up new ‘influences’ starting with an attack on a mosque; setting up with the dialogue for their election cycle………….Islamic persecution.
It’s so blatant; the real persecutors being persecuted in Iran and now here in the USA. Looking for mercy and good will, that’s all Islam wants. Just like communism it wants body and soul to control. No if, ands, or buts about it.
God Help US
100% of mass shooters, assassins, communists, and terrorist are ‘GROOMED’……
I have zero reason to believe that any Western reporter was actually there – especially not “CNN.” Much too easy to fake a scene.
I don’t trust Zelensky (or Putin, for that matter — Dr. Zelenko, who was Ukrainian, said that both sides are corrupt), and I believe there has been a lot of money laundering and political manipulation over this war. I also believe that it is a war of broken treaties on both sides. But I guess I don’t understand why people think this is a “fake” Wag The Dog war.
I have friends at CBN News who have been reporting on the war from the beginning — CBN has done a lot of evangelistic and humanitarian work in Ukraine in the years since communism fell. They know real people who have been affected by the bombings and deaths. Here is a story from on the ground by my friend, George Thomas — but you can google CBN News to see many other reports:
https://cbn.com/video/ukraine
Also, a professor friend of mine who teaches at a Christian college in Lithuania is married to a Ukrainian woman, whose mother still lives in Ukraine, and he has related about the terror and hardships on the ground there, esp when his wife has had to go back to Ukraine to check on her mom, or do business in Kiev. Many of his students are from Ukraine and Russia, so he hears a lot of first-hand stories. Some have dropped out to go back to their homes to join the military and fight.
Bottom line is that I don’t understand why there is so much chatter here about it not being a real war. There are deaths and casualties. There are homes being bombed and destroyed. There are legions of young soldiers on both sides losing their lives. Maybe I’m missing something… Is that not real enough?
I was a high school journalism student back in 1978 when the movie “Capricorn One” was released, so I have always been aware just how easy it would be to present a completely fake version of the “news” if it would benefit TPTB!
There is nothing new under the Sun!
World War Reddit in Ukraine has been a money laundering operation from the beginning, along with a power play by the NeoCons and the Samantha Powers /Victoria Nuland wing of the Democrat Party, who still think they are the smartest people in the room. Add in the Biden/Kerry corruption racket and the Fauci biolabs and it has always been clear why the “war” had to happen!
$ dollars always the dollars
Answer: Prolong world war reddit.
Good morning America, how are ya?

Sen. Tillis Urges Senate to Cancel ICE, Border Patrol Vote to Boost Cornyn’s Reelection Bid
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/05/18/tillis-urges-senate-cancel-ice-border-patrol-vote-boost-cornyn-reelection-bid/
Oh Tommy Boy that will work. Yep, that will push those voters right over the edge and probably keep Massie in too.
Sadly, the RINOs forgot who they work for. Maybe if you gave us the Save Act we could be a little more supportive. Throw in a ballroom and make sure our security is where it suppose to be, but…..but…..Tommy Boy can’t do that. WHY? What are you hiding from us?
I early voted today for Ken Paxton.
It felt good.
GOOD JOB …… AND THANKS!
Early voted for Steve Hilton here in Californistan.
IF elections were not compromised – the Hollyweird endorsed candidates would not hold office.
People are frequently not as uninformed, or 🧠 impaired as the media would have you believe.
It’s tragic that the rest of the country believes that CA is 100% left (it is not). I lived there for 40 years and saw so many changes. Unfortunately, as we’ve seen, voter registration shenanigans continue to happen (see https://x.com/USAttyEssayli/status/2056416314533798376) and we our votes don’t count because they are diluted with false voter registrations and manipulated ballots.
Honestly, you see so much uproar in other states where redistricting is happening but crickets about places like CA where there is so much disenfranchisement of voters like you and me.
I am however encouraged by people like Spencer Pratt who are media savvy and can talk sense into the voters especially in LA. I pray that people wake up and realize the unbelievable damage that is being done to a once beautiful state. I hope, for the sake of the future of CA that Steve Hilton can make some headway.
I voted yesterday in Longview for Ken Paxton. It felt better than good. It felt GREAT!
Me too, only it was in Nacogdoches and I never want to see cornyn’s name on a ballot anywhere again!!!
Same in Conroe.
Same in Palacios….. !
Cornyn’s latest ads are symbolically meaningful in one respect, he is wearing a black Stetson. His desperation is palpable in both video and print media.
Same in San Antonio
I noticed that the Netherlands had almost the lowest military spending rate in NATO at 0.9%. The minimum NATO requirement is 5%.
As Prime Minister of the Netherlands from 2010 to 2024 Mark Rutte was responsible for the delinquent military spending and failure to meet NATO’S requirement.
So, why was Rutte rewarded by making him the Secretary General of NATO. I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around that decision?
Because he’s the globalists boy. Rutte was also the one behind kicking all those Dutch farmers off their land to make way for more housing…for new immigrants…
The King, yes the King of the Netherlands. It’s called a Constitutional Monarchy and the monarchy is controlled by a ‘charter’……..believe that and there are a lot of bridges for sale in monarchies that are still being bowed to.
Colonization by the Netherlands was vast; all for the Kingdom; heck they had NY amongst all their holdings; you think all that power could ever be exsanguinated out of ‘royal’ blood lines. Russia overthrew monarchy, We overthrew monarchy.
Monarchies in NATO; called Constitutional Monarchies, they are members, but dues are paid by the public of their countries.
God Help US
NATO defends the crowns and sends the bills to US.
Because we didn’t veto it.
Because the NATO has outlived it’s effectiveness.
Looks like Donald Trump Jr is getting married over Memorial Day. I wish him well.
Who is he marrying?
Bettina Anderson
She sees eye to eye with him; well, at least height wise.
I’m 4min into this (54min!) and I have a bad feeling I am gonna watch the whole thing.
Nope. Just the first 4 min. Really like the start. Not too keen on the rest.
Aint my fight, but if it was, I’d ditch him.
If you have stomach to hear, President Trump posted the link to this interview yesterday.
I couldn’t finish listening to it. Sordid details. I don’t know if all is true.
I didn’t need to know any of that. His showboating and voting records against President Trump agenda, are enough to make me distrust him.
Massie is another hypocrite.
One more reason not to trust sanctimonious people.
FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRUTH SOCIAL:
“EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
Thomas Massie’s Ex-Girlfriend And Former Congressional Staffer Cynthia West Tells All
rumble.com/v7a1820-exclusive-i
He’s called “MANIC” MASSIE for a reason ………… dump him.
Catturd refers to him as Masshole – I’m on board with that.
I thought that was loonies from Massachusetts.
🎯
Link doesn’t work.
Hmm … worked for me..
This one is directly from Rumble:
👇
https://rumble.com/v7a1820-exclusive-interview-thomas-massies-ex-girlfriend-and-former-congressional-s.html
I just typed Cynthia West into the search bar and an article came up.
What kind of sexual acts aren’t normal in this day and age?
I don’t care to hear about any of that. What people do behind closed doors is their personal responsibility.
To me, Massie is a bad representative for our base, and that’s enough to get rid of him today.
It’s looking more and more like Massie better plan on becoming neighbors with MTG down in Puerto Rico.
This is last attempt to coup MAGA. The original nevertrumps and Deep State Republican Guards thought they had MAGA and America First co-opted by acting as one of MAGA and supporting President Trump. They all (no need to list) came on the Trump Train at the same time and with the same media narrative right after Butler.
Wolves in sheep clothing. They waited, thought they had the trust of Trump supporters enough to slowly change PDJT’s standing as Maga and America First Leader. Sadly, there are still some MAGA that do not see the con and are now soldiers in an attempted coup against themselves.
can’t see why it can’t get rid of congress. Surely can understand what it should do rather than what its paid to do by top bidders. Just do like congress. Have three components study the bill and then send out a bunch of bots to tell the other components how to vote.
This would actually work. The AI only reads the law as written. But of course they will never do that because every last drop of power and grift would be taken away from them. So they will of course make themselves immune from AI.
It won’t work because of “Sh*t in, Sh*t out”. 🖖🏻
If AI was programed with The US Constitution and The Ten Commandments it would be a very concise program.
Constitutional?? Legal?? those would be the only questions answered on a ‘bill’.
Simple but, all encompassing.
AND the budget would include only things that are necessary, constitutional, and legal.
Ditto for State governments, too.
AND if it would get rid of all the legalese and lawyers I’m all for it.
The Houses would be opened 3 weeks a year. The POTUS and his ‘crew’ would take care of international situations accordingly, too.
Small Government elected by legal voting only doing what it’s supposed to; out of Our hair.
State and Federal governments should do just that…..take care of legal elections, a budget, and enumerated powers. Supply and demand should take care of business.
It only reads the law as written, only if that is what is programmed to do.
And congress can still produce more hot air than an AI datacenter.
Went and voted today; presented proof of registration and signed, paper ballot filled in with pen, , and a receipt generated.
Tally was done by counting machine. Only ‘machine’ in the place. Tally produced there, not sent via computer to headquarters.
All staff was human, nice, and helpful.
I’m pleased. And the turn out was good.
AI can replace government maybe, doctors are doing it. Good programing will be the ticket for it to ride.
Brillant! 👌👍😃😎

‘Founder’s Fire’ Review: The Power to Prosper
The same animating spirit that drove the Founding Fathers led Cornelius Vanderbilt and Henry Ford to create business empires.
In “Founder’s Fire” Arthur Herman—whose books of popular history include “How the Scots Invented the Modern World” (2001)—gives these stories their due. But Mr. Herman sees a bigger picture here. He argues, in this entertaining and enlightening book, that the spirit—the fire—that drove the Founding Fathers to risk everything to establish something very new has animated this country ever since. As he points out, the first English settlers in America “were rebels and misfits who didn’t fit in their own time and place, and who traveled across an ocean to create their own ‘city upon a hill.’”
Mr. Herman knows how to tell a story, and in “Founder’s Fire” he tells this one well, making a strong argument for the ultimate source of American greatness: the freedom to pursue one’s dreams.
This propensity to take risks, Mr. Herman argues, has been passed down from generation to generation. In the early 19th century, this spirit came to be called the Young America movement. “The spirit of Young America,” said Rufus Choate, a senator from Massachusetts from 1841 to 1845, “will not be satisfied with what has been attained, but plumes its young wings for a higher and more glorious flight.”

I am fascinated as to how we end up treating the Pilgrims/Puritans as “the first English settlers in America”. (The city on a hill reference was the Puritans who settled Massachusetts 10 years after the Pilgrims.)
Roanoke, 1587 the first English settlers in America, failed.
Jamestown, 1607, succeeded. But it died out centuries later and is now an archeology site.
Plymouth colony, 1620, was absorbed by the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Plymouth is a small tourist trap with a small rock and a small ship. But people do still live there. (And the best lobster I ever had was in a tourist shack there. Far better then the junk served in a high end Boston restaurant.)
The ‘Scots’ wound up in the Appalachian mountains, at least my relatives did, after they left Ireland – the place they were ‘sequestered’ – then down they came to farmlands and established residence. They bought the farm.
Covid Dissenter Alex Berenson’s Free Speech Victory Might Be The First Of Many
https://thefederalist.com/2026/05/18/covid-dissenter-alex-berensons-free-speech-victory-might-be-the-fhttps://thefederalist.com/2026/05/18/covid-dissenter-alex-berensons-free-speech-victory-might-be-the-first-of-many/irst-of-many/
Independent journalist Alex Berenson scored another victory for free speech last week when he settled his lawsuit against the federal government for $150,000 and an acknowledgement that “the Government did in fact violate the First Amendment by exerting substantial coercive pressure on social media companies such as Twitter to suppress disfavored speech like Plaintiff’s.
As part of the discovery in his case against Twitter, Berenson obtained internal Slack messages which revealed the Biden Administration’s role in Berenson being permanently banned from the social media giant.
The Biden administration is going to cost the US taxpayers a lot of money for their unconstitutional and criminal deeds.
I was kicked off Twitter for years.
You weren’t alone.
Naomi Wolf:
“… Friends told me that journalist Alex Berenson was again attacking me. This is a writer who, as I was deplatformed in 2021 for accurately identifying menstrual harms as a side effect of mRNA vaccination, called me, out of the blue, “batshit crazy and counterfactual” — though I was in fact completely right.
He wrote at that time — on Twitter, where I could not respond — that he gave “@jackdorsey credit” after the Twitter CEO had silenced and deplatformed me following this warning of harms to women, a warning that documents show the CDC had discussed with social media platforms.
These two influential men, happily together, with one congratulating the other, closed down a conversation of vital importance to women and girls, to babies born and unborn, around the world.
Due to the suppression of speech celebrated by Mr Berenson’s nasty little swipes at my prescient concern at menstrual harms — at eyewitness testimony about women ranging from postmenopausal elders down to eleven year old girls bleeding their insides out onto hospital sheets — millions of women and young girls tragically sustained life-altering damage. Millions of babies may never be brought alive into the world at full term.
Nice job there, fellas. High fives all around.
Thus these two men, these dudes, who don’t bleed or conceive or carry or bear or nurse babies, and who thus presumably have no idea how hard all of that can be without adding the risk or reality of major damage to one’s entire reproductive system — decided, with no evidence whatsoever, that a woman such as I am is “batshit crazy” for worrying publicly and accurately about whether or not women, and girls who would become women, would ever be able to conceive, carry and give birth to living children. …”

Alex Berensen can bite it.
He was all, I’m gonna make Twitter reveal all their crap in deposition, until he got his settelment then it’s all sunshine and roses. I made my point he says, I got my Twitterfeed back.
And instead of spearheading a class action lawsuit, knowing he wasn’t the only person being suppressed by the governement, he takes a paltry $150k and and acknowledgment from the government his rights were violated.
He’s a libtard. Cried on his substack about being ostracized by all his NYC liberal friends when he went anticovid “vaccine”, but never really got red pilled.
So if I seem a bit unimpressed about his victory, forgive me.
I got mine back, minus all my followers, so I just don’t use it except to go down lists and block lunatics. It’s the very least I can do.
It was a federalist post. Don’t know who the guy is and don’t care. My point was all the lawsuits against the Biden Crime administration is costing us taxpayers a lot of money.
Carl Higbie had a great opening segment last night. It’s seven minutes but well worth watching.
I never usually recommend videos but Carl nails it in this one. He also exposes the Democrats lie that Trump is raiding the treasury for his own financial gain, and why the original settlement was 10 billion or which President Trump is only taking 1.776 trillion to help those harmed by the Biden administration.

Interesting article from our friends at TGP:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/hallelujah-most-annoying-tv-commercial-history-was-just/
Banned in California…the Kars for Kids commercial…
“One more from TGP:President
“Trump on Monday afternoon asked the Justice Department to investigate Maryland officials for sending out “500,000 illegal mail-in ballots.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/trump-asks-doj-launch-investigation-maryland-after-500000/
Kars for Kids:
“The case, “Puterbaugh v. Oorah, Inc.,” was brought by California resident Bruce Puterbaugh, a cabinetmaker in his 70s who donated his car believing the proceeds would help underprivileged children locally. Instead, his $250 donation went to Oorah Inc., a New Jersey-based Orthodox Jewish outreach organization.
Trial testimony and IRS Form 990 documents revealed that over 60% of Kars4Kids’ total funds—approximately $45 million annually—flow to Oorah.In 2022, Oorah allocated $437,000 to “Middle East outreach” and transferred $16.5 million to purchase a building in Israel.
The court found that funding does not primarily benefit young children in need; instead, it supports older teens (ages 17 and 18) participating in gap-year trips to Israel, adult matchmaking services, and related family programming.”
Theft by deception. Prison time appropriate.
They also spent millions of the charity donations on real estate deals, primarily in New Jersey and some in Israel.
That’s good news on two fronts:
One, that was such a fraud and scam — I want it gone, but getting their commercial banned is a good start.
Two, that is the most annoying jingle ever.
Every time I heard it I was first annoyed by the aesthetics of the thing, and then reminded of what a sham it was, which caused further annoyance.
That annoying advertisement is now being followed up by advertisements of the now grown up kids reminiscing about doing the annoying ad.
With no awareness of how they annoyed us all these years!
Just how can a charity evoke donations by annoying people for decades?
But still no advertisements that tell the truth about what the charity is really for, not that they really spend much on the actual charitable side. Over 50% of that charity’s proceeds goes to more advertising (yay, more annoying jingle outreach) and to the inner workings of the organization.
They fooled a lot of kind people who thought they were helping kids who needed a helping hand; really ticks me off.
I want reparations for the annoyance!

I’ll bet they are fixin’ to holler: We’re hungry! When’s vittles?!
Lol. I like this picture, tho.
Ain’t it always the way?
Nope… It ain’t “always the way”… that is just how the feminists tell it…
Feminism spoils this idyllic picture.
And those are boys on the porch, that woman’s children, who she is taking care of. Probably singing a song for them while she provides clean clothes for them.
They’re taking their well deserved 6 am break. They already milked the cows, plowed the field, baled the hay, and chopped some firewood.

My dad was raised in a two room board and button cabin in the woods of Mulberry, Arkansas. He took his six kids there once in the ’60s. Pretty stark reality.
He was the second youngest of 8. Made his way in the world and provided his kids everything he never had as a kid.
Strangely enough, after living for 50 years in Texas, my wife and I moved to Arkansas 18 years ago, near Eureka Springs.
Beautiful Ozarks.
Approximately 85% of the world’s refugees are Muslims. But for some reason they don’t seek asylum in over 50 Muslim countries. They only want to go to non-Muslim countries. Any ideas why?

Conquest, (for those that don’t understand).
So much like Democrats. Fleeing the hills they made. So that they can turn your paradise into hell too.
they prefer the food
Pffttt….
just give ’em a BLT….
What percentage of muslim legal immigrates are on welfare and other subsidies?
“51% of households headed by legal immigrants used at least one major welfare program in 2024, compared to 37.3% of U.S.-born households.”
So why even have legal immigration if more than half of them are on welfare???? Cut the immigration in half and only allow those with skills than work immediately! Better yet end all legal immigration for the next 50 years!!!

Today’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego is especially notable because it’s the same mosque where two of the 9/11 hijackers — Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, who helped crash American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon — spent significant time and received assistance from associates while living in the area. Truly insane.

I condemn all acts of violence. I also believe mosques linked to terrorists should be closed. Had the Islamic Center of San Diego been closed after it became known that it was connected to two 9/11 terrorists, today’s shooting would’ve never happened.

I think it would help to make life less hard for Muslims if they stopped talking about beheading people who don’t want to convert to Islam
https://nitter.poast.org/JohnCleese/status/2054144359826673731#m
It might also help if Muslim men didn’t line up against a wall to pray – said wall being part of an all-girls’ Jewish school.
We can’t have people shooting up religious centers, full stop. We can’t have people shooting up anywhere, full stop. This is smacking of giving a rationalization — just don’t.
They shot at a landscaper too, could’ve killed him, is he somehow connected to 9/11? How about the kids that were in the mosque?
The way this thing is already getting framed by some politicians (cough, Democrats, cough) is suspicious; let’s not add to it.
Has anyone actually figured out why these two teens chose a mosque for their murder/suicide?
It has been almost 25 years since 9/11/2001.
These suicidal kids have no memory of something that happened years before they were born.
Why did they stop?
How had their lives become so messed up that suicide was their answer?
And how did it become something to do together?
If someone plans on offing themselves, they need help.
But if they plan on taking others with them, they should start with themselves first.
Exactly.
We do not just shoot people. WTFrick?
A lefty was trying to say that these shooters were white whatever group. How is this different from a guy from Dearborn driving to a West Bloomfield Jewish Center?
This group thing is just excuses.
We don’t just shoot people.
I realize it’s Slate, and this is just one aspect, but there are a disturbing number of internet ‘hangouts’ that encourage young people to do the things mentioned in the Slate article. It’s truly horrid, evil.
https://slate.com/technology/2026/05/teens-gore-violence-internet-cult.html
Because the nature of the thing is so decentralized and so easily accessed it is incredibly difficult to shut it down. When I heard there were apparently ‘white supremacist/islamophobic’ comments as well as suicides — I started wondering what those two had been doing on the internet.
Moral of the story: don’t let your kids hang out on the internet/game chats; make them go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine; read a book; draw…anything but be hooked up to the ‘worldwide web’ all day!
Can’t stop them from going to school; that’s where the ‘grooming’ starts.
When kids get on the ‘bad list’ at school they seek fellow ‘bad kids’ and find a common revenge message while falling for the real ‘sponsors’ on those sites…….groomers.
You can stop your younger children by just saying ‘no’. And then you can explain to them later why you said ‘no’ in the first place and to be careful. We go on and on about protecting children from things, but the best protection is learning discernment, and oddly enough it’s the one thing we fail to teach.
And we never tell the ‘bad kids’ how they can turn it around and become ‘better kids’; far too few encourage that — redemption and salvation is open to everyone because everyone is a sinner.
These teens and every other mass shooters, assassins, and terrorist are groomed!
CIA heads the list of groomers.

Chip Roy… The Conservative’s Conservative…
As a Texan, I hope and pray he is re-elected…
Trump doesn’t like Chip simply because he voted against the BBB that was full of crap we didn’t need to be spending taxpayer $$ on…
You can like Chip Roy if you like but there was a lot that the country needed in the BBB bill, and Trump was very emphatic about it. There is always the good with the bad with this kind of legislation.
I just think that supporting a RINO as opposed to getting rid of a real Conservative is a mistake of the Nth Degree of Magnitude…
Trump obviously knows that Chip Roy has never voted for fraud and government waste, yet he had rather have a RINO who will stab him in the back at the first opportunity…
I believe Roy was a big DeSantis supporter.
Chip Roy ………… was my representative………. he is a hard core RINO, NOT a conservative.
He not only didn’t support President Trump, he didn’t support Texas ……… with President Trump’s help, we finally got him out of congress because he knew he couldn’t win in his primary race.
So, now he is trying to find another job in Texas politics, running from his record as a representative, not on it …… let him do it in NY, we don’t want him in Texas politics, ever again.
Other than that, he is a nice guy./s
No… not simply about the BBB.
Here are key examples of U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) going against President Trump or his positions:
2020 Election and January 6
2024 Republican Primary
Fiscal and Spending Disputes (Especially 2024–2025)
Some of his positions are defensible, others are not. J6 is a perfect example. Support of DeSantis is another.
Thank you for a great summary.
Certifying the steal is one of the things I’m most angry about, a!omg with J6. Anyone who knew anything about DC knew the election was stolen. Roy purposefully did his part to block President Trump from fighting back.
Anyone with a brain knew PT did not incite a riot. But Roy wanted to use the misery caused by the stolen election to hurt PT.
Roy is lying scum not fit for civilized society. He helped give us four years of obummerbiden.
Cruz, Roy, Cornyn, DeSantis; Bush acolytes.
GOPe to the bone and joined at the hip.
The historic St. Ann’s Catholic Cathedral in Buffalo, New York, was sold to the local Muslim community for only $250,000 and will now be converted into a mosque. This is sad.
https://nitter.poast.org/realMaalouf/status/2056053193847529853#m
I’d ask why the Vatican is sanctioning such blasphemous conduct, but I already know why. This is beyond frustrating.
The true blasphemy is when clergy (of whatever denomination) identify as politicians.
Padre Pio once said, in the 50’s or 60’s, ‘Satan was already in the Pope’s slippers’….
Stink bombs.
The story is more complicated: the diocese has been hit by a c. $250 million settlement for alleged child abuse by its priests and needs to sell property to pay it.
Buffalo, around 1900, was in the Top Ten largest cities in America. It has lost so much population that it ranks 77th now.
The cathedral in question was sold 4 years ago because it needs $30 million in repairs, which the diocese obviously does not have. The school building near it was severely damaged by a fire, and again, no money to fix it.
The sins of bishops in covering up their homosexual and pedophile priests must be avenged: this is part of it.
We note that the Moslems have the money to buy and remodel the cathedral: where did the money come from? Are Moslem millionaires locating in Buffalo?
That money is coming straight out of the oil pot that supports the backward governments of the ME.
While it saddens me to see us losing our old and beautiful churches, at the end of the day let us remember that the Church, the Church that the gates of hell will not prevail against, isn’t to be found within the walls of buildings. This should make us hopeful and grateful, for it reminds us of this, and makes us even harder to break.
The Church’s enemies think if they hurl scandal and calumny at it, it will break. It will not.
They think if they take our lovely buildings, artworks, works of history and knowledge, that the Church will break. It will not.
They think if they can just shame and threaten the body of the Church enough, the Church will break. Ah, now they may have more success with that one as the body is weak, but not full and lasting success. The Church will not break, not until God himself announces the time the task is finished.
Agree. Though it seems “the Church” is rarely found within the current hierarchy either. But then I’ve been considering going the sedevacantist route for a while now. Still have not made that leap. Interesting times.
The hierarchy has never been perfect, because we are in the world, but the Church isn’t contained by the hierarchy. They are just its administrators for a given time, and all things worldly pass, new administrators will come about — some better than others. Christ gave the Church to us.
Getting believers to obsessively worry about the hierarchy and not focus on the Church that Jesus bequeathed to us is a form of spiritual warfare — and what does Christ teach us about excessive worry in Matthew 6? Look it up!
By the way: while I grew up in a sedevacantist leaning church and still love a good, full Latin Mass…it is not the entirety of the Church either. I don’t need a Latin Mass to participate. It’s just a lovely traditional thing, and it’s always good to appreciate beautiful things.
Agree more or less. The Latin Mass is not the primary criteria. The issue is and has been, a “creeping modermism”, which Pius X warned against in Pascendi. Error will always exist within. For example, Judas. But I’m straying too much from the primary topic so I’ll shut up. 🙂
‘Creeping modernism’ could be seen as one of those errors which will always exist; for that we have discernment and many good teachings to guide us.
Why shut up? This is far more worthwhile than any stupid political discussion (which is of this world and really a distraction).
But ok.
So you don’t want to discuss how “pope” Leo is in bed with the globalists?
thank you, janon, for all of your comments. especially, matthew 6 re fret not. we are children of the King!
You’re welcome. I’m glad it made you feel better. Everyone frets; it’s a natural thing. But Christ’s words to us are a good correction and support.

Top Treasury Lawyer Resigns After Creation of ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’
Brian Morrissey, the department’s general counsel, stepped down hours after the Trump administration announced the $1.8 billion fund.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/business/anti-weaponization-fund-brian-morrissey-treasury.html?unlocked_article_code=1.jlA.Jy2J.6tSRS1aVa-1l&smid=url-share
I am sure Morrissey will be replaced with another yes man.
I doubt this has anything to do with ethics (as an attorney myself, very few of us have those). I just think he doesn’t want to go to jail. Smart dude.
EDIT: Anyone calling this guy patrotic for stepping down needs to have theit head checked. He’s still a baddie.
So, you are a lawyer who has no ethics, and a commie?
so much of what ya read on the net these days is not worth a ……..
Retired Magistrate here: I am old enough to remember the outhouse at my grandfather’s farm in Scioto County, Ohio. Ah, the fragrance of the potty and you never knew what critters you were going to scare away or unfortunately sit on. Indoor plumbing was/is one of man’s greatest inventions!
And yes, I agree with your statement. I get my news from the TreeHouse and take full advantage of our indoor plumbing!
At a family cabin, it was “The Birch John Society.” 🤡
Outhouses came in three versions: single, double and three-holers for large families, don’t ya’know.
Outfitted with last year’s Sears & Roebuck catalog.
So which one disappeared first? The outhouse or the Sears catalogue?
A great invention, along with that of Willis Carrier…Indoor plumbing is surely the best, followed by air conditioning…
https://www.williscarrier.com/about/
The “sit on” aspect is most scary! 😨
Ew-www…
Before I retired, part of my job was reviewing OSHA accident reports to see if we had similar risks .
I’ll never forget the one about the guy at a construction site that was using the outhouse and got bit on the dork by a Black Widow.
My Dad’s cousins in Canada had a cabin on Georgian Bay in the 50s-60s and I remember using an outhouse for the first time, it was a two seater no less!!! Have preferred indoor plumbing ever since!!!
We still have outhouses at our campgrounds.
and a lot of special outdoor events, and construction sites have porta potties (and other names).
The original “composting” toilet…!
Once before I got roasted here for worrying that oil prices might affect the fall election, and also concerned about how the stock market was reacting to the Iran actions.
I’m glad that I was wrong about stocks. Clearly the Trump economy is very strong. Still edgy about the dragging on in Iran, which has created a climate for oil prices to stay high.
Is it wrong for me to want to see the President order another attack and hopefully end this? The longer this waiting goes on, the harder it may be for us to keep the House.
“Is it wrong for me to want to see the President order another attack and hopefully end this?”
Nope …… would be the coup de grâce of 47 years of an evil, barbarous regime.
He is certainly pursuing an unconventional strategy.
Stocks: Asset inflation. Majority of the stock market highs are a product of dollar devaluation.
Same goes for high real estate values, gold, etc.
Competent asset holders do well and outperform inflation. People without assets suffer and regress.
According to the New York Times, the Pentagon just told President Trump that it is too risky to resume bombing. The IRGC has used the ceasefire to distribute mobile anti-aircraft missiles all over the Iranian countryside, and dug out the missile silos we had bombed, so they are ready to shoot down our planes if we begin bombing again.
We need to find out if it is true, what MSN reported, that during the rescue of our downed pilots in Iran President Trump was said to have been locked out of the Situation Room. If that is the case, the ceasefire could have represented President Trump being shoved aside, while the Triumvirate of Vance, Rubio, and Bessent took over and initiated the negotiations with the terrorists, negotiations that went nowhere. We need to know what is really going on to find a path forward. Obviously a major malfunction, of this war.
And yet, neither us nor the Israelis were shot down as we were taking out anti aircraft defenses the first time.
I can’t understand how anyone believes what is written in the New York Slimes anymore.
We used Tomahawk cruise missiles the first time. Now they have shoulder-fired heat seeking missiles, like our Stinger missiles. They were resupplied, after the war began, and they studied our tactics to get what they needed from China and Russia. I don’t trust the New York Times, but the question is, is what they have reported plausible? Clearly it is.
maybe they got a couple thousand of the ones left at Benghazi that disappeared after our people were killed there
I was also wondering why we made it through the first time, must have been just dumb luck.
i would chalk that up to another elaborate fairy tale constructed to give democrats
a construct within which to denigrate PT, splinter his support, undermine his cabinet,
and weaken his tactical approach to iran.
lots of moving parts on that one – the spinmeisters at the NYT and MSN are really working hard!
(but they forgot to throw in how the reflecting pool renovations are somehow tied in as well.🤣 )
“According to the New York Times…” is the end of the read.
Garbage on so many different levels it’s hard to know where to even start. My guess is the Pentagon have advised against some low flying sorties because of the risk of MANPADS, but the rest of the fantasy is an indicator of just how desperate the Dems are getting at damaging Trump. It also confirms that the IC is creating a narrative to keep Iran in the fight. Which I think is a mistake that they’ll regret as much as the election interference in 2020.
Anyway, the US don’t need to necessarily go kinetic, unless it’s to shoot up errant ships, they have employed one of the most effective strategies in war, the blockade. No other nation has this ability, at this scale, so the DS are desperately trying to suggest it’s a desperation tactic forced on the US, because Trump failed to consult the all-powerful experten class. Whereas, he’s showing their approach to such conflicts was painfully unimaginative, and simply consisted of replication, expecting technology to supply the edge, very similar to their approach to the entertainment industry.
Soon a lot of experts are probably going to have to follow Moss’ advice, in the ‘IT Crowd’.
Git’r done, now.
Was going to write a long ‘President Trump should’ but remembered that Sundance wrote not to try to tell him what to do. Yet, in my opinion, the elites living inside and outside must feel the pain.
IMHO…47, he has promises to keep and its taking too long for the ‘forgotten men and women’….from Medicare to inflation to gas prices and unemployment (its alive and well where I am at)…….and other associated costs. Oh yeah, and fraud…we need perp walks with the ‘bling’.
He is also a lame duck. I am wondering if in some way, he is actually trying to keep globalists content and some in the swamp.
I have shut my wallet, tighter than ever before….in the last month, I have bought 10 gallons of gas…and 3 was for the lawn mower.
If I sound narcissistic and self absorbed, I apologize, even though there is “Gibbs Rule #6–Never say you’re sorry, its a sign of weakness”–my world is extremely small…and its been hit quite hard.
Gibbs Rule #36–If you feel like you are being played, you probably are.
Gibbs Rule #51–Sometimes you are wrong…
Actually I don’t agree with #6 at all. It takes a strong person to say sorry. It proves you’re beyond self and able to be equal or even a little less in order to be honest. In fact, if I can’t say I’m sorry when I feel like it, I’m not being true to myself or the other person.
He will either come through or will be found out to be a sham. We will find out I suppose.
Yes… It’s been on-going for 47+ years… Trump should stop “pussy-footing” around with Iran and end it now…
Absolute meteorological hysteria this morning on the networks: HEAT WAVE, TWISTERS, WIND DAMAGE, blah-blah blah!
Sorry, that front came right through here yesterday and it was typical for late Spring.
Yes, some damage was done in the usual places (Nebraska, Iowa) but it was – again – typical for this time of year.
And Heat Wave? Yes, 85 today, but rain this evening and then 60’s for the rest of the week with lows in the 40’s!
One or two days with 80’s (which they will say “FEELS LIKE 95!!!) does NOT constitute a “Heat Wave” !
The Climate Agenda, like boogeymen in bad horror movies, just will not die!
Yep, been that way for years now, Aus…
We have always had hurricanes, a bad one every now-and-then, but most are a little wind, lot of rain and otherwise are “non-events”…
But now, the National Hurricane Center tries to frighten the populace by saying every little rain storm is a “KILLER CYCLONE”…
Never made an sense to me this feels like. Who does the feeling? An older person might feel the heat greater than the lower age group and it keeps going down. So is the feeling based on a senior citizen, a child, a middle age individual or even the house pet? Even the same age group doesn’t feel weather the same. Another liberal toss to me.
Re: weather, agriculture
After a cool, rainy April (April showers bring May flowers)
there was
about 2 weeks of dry, yet cool, trending warmer weather
and that drier weather
was real helpful for farmers – working long days, nights -to get their fields tilled and the seeds planted. ( while the ‘weather’ talkers booted up their drought story lines again)
After a recent weekend of some mid May rains,
their may be more and more plants emerging from the soil. : )
Those plants – after harvesting in the Autumn – may help to feed people and livestock.
…again
[ Typically, that above true story
does not fit the doom and gloom, (to miss promote a climate change / global warming miss agenda – to does not accomplish diddly, other than lining the pocket$ of its self promotion$ ]
A whole lot more forecasters competing for your attention and dollars. If your like me, I like it. There is a whole lot more information available with the internet than we had available on TV, even with cable. The key is finding the right ones to listen to.
For longer range weather and explanations of forecasting I’m a premium member of https://www.weatherbell.com/premium
For certain aspects like ACE and historical hurricane data, I pay attention to Dr. Ryan Maue and get his free daily weather reports and maps in my email.
For Hurricanes, besides listening what Joe Bastardi says at Weatherbell, I also pay attention to Levi Cowen at https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/
Troubling headline today if you work for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency and a democrat state does not agree with Federal Policy with respect to enforcing Federal Law.
The state of MN has issued a “nationwide warrant” for the arrest of an ICE Officer involved with the arrest of a Venezuelan Illegal Immigrant, in 2025.
This is obviously a new lawfare avenue of approach being attempted (tested) by the democrat run bastions … for future use on other issues.
Can Minnesota Communists become any more reprehensible?
In fact, I believe they do indeed have that ability!
They never seem to disappoint in how low and corrupt they are.

Hard not to see this as declaration of war, if not a warning, by democrats ahead of the (overdue) Corruption Indictments of State and Municipal Level Government officials for the Billions in medicaid and welfare fraud … as well as Indictments of members of congress for fraud and national security violations.
The democrats are using this to gain the initiative in the upcoming battle of Mid-Terms 2026.

“Let’s go Brandon!” ………. still has a nice ring to it!
“Let’s go Brandon!”
“Let’s go Brandon!”

Which Brandon? LOL! I actually preferred the “FJB” myself…
Chicago has an inept mayor named “Brandon”….
Bless me Father for I have sinned….
Just looked through the list of primary candidates in GA. Its very disappointing. Why?
State Senate seats: 5, 17, 33, 34, 35 and 43 have NO Republican candidate!
State House seats: 37, 62, 69, 91, 94, 96, 98 and 109 have NO Republican candidate!
Wanna know how many seats have no Dem candidates? Zero, none! There are at least 2 Dem candidates for every open seat. Wth is going on? These things matter. I get that some of these areas, there is literally no chance. But we got to have people willing to try. Change starts locally.
They tried that ‘local change’ a few times, in IL…it went no where…
Those districts often have Partisan Voter Index (PVI) ratings leaning D+10 or more, and recent presidential results show Democrats winning by 60–85%. Given this environment, Republicans may see little chance of victory and choose not to run.
Resource management.
Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish resource management from just not caring.
On the other hand, packing your opponent into as few districts as possible is a big win. Of course it will end up with those packed districts going for your opponents with 60%-85% win margins.
Gerrymandering, spreading out your voters to win as many districts as possible, can have bad consequences if your majority is not really that big. And it has to be constantly maintained.
Giving your opponents super packed districts guarantees that they have a say, but helps keep them out of the majority.
Well, when they segregate themselves it comes naturally too.
I understand that, but the Dems don’t seem to have issues finding candidates in R+10 districts. That’s all I’m saying.
Was doing my research on Republican primary candidates for statewide offices in Alabama and found some folks I suspect are Democrats pretending to be Republican and hoping nobody notices. Hoping all good conservatives get out and vote today!
Happens in MN sometimes because the local senate districts are so incompetent, candidates don’t want to waste their time. Who wants to run in a district that can’t even make sure all the precinct delegates are entered into the system, get convention calls, and get informed about the chance to be delegates to state convention? Happened in my district this year. None of my caucus precinct names were entered in the system. They even admitted they screwed up.
Annnd we still know nothing about the dead perps (we know their ages🤣) who murdered at the islamic center in San Diego. The longer they keep their identities and motive quiet, the longer they can stir up their base.

I have seen two names with pictures. One Hispanic name and one more traditional American.
The latter looks white, was a high school wrestler, a lower weight category, and has pictures with very long hair and with something that looks like cornrows.
Identity issues?
Seems odd to have a jock do these things. But you can be an outsider or outcast in any group.

Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing renewed scrutiny after two separate controversies collided:
A financial disclosure that appeared to show up to $30 million in assets
An amended filing later claiming the figure was an accounting error
New calls for Congress to subpoena her communications
Allegations connected to Minnesota’s massive $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scandal
Claims from a convicted figure in the case that Omar knew more than she has admitted

Replying to @MOSSADil
She leaked top foreign policy secrets to Somalia in 2022 while she was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.
Should of already been done, she has been caught and needs to explain under oath.
IRAN THREATENS
REGIME CHANGE NOW
No one will ever be safe. The Islamic Republic will soon vote on a bill that would see whoever kills US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and or CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper awarded with a €50 million sum, Ebrahim Azizi told state TV on Thursday.

Why is the oversight of tax dollars so feckless…sending letters…
“ Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., the chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, and Oversight Committee member Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., wrote to 11 separate Planned Parenthood affiliates, asserting that the nation’s largest abortion provider for almost a year failed to fully respond to questions about its spending of federal dollars.
The subcommittee first sought documents from the Planned Parenthood affiliates in June 2025.
“As of now—nearly one year later—Planned Parenthood has yet to fully comply with the Subcommittee’s letter and provide the requested documents and communications,” the lawmakers wrote in the letters sent on Friday.”

Republicans are basically the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition sketch (excerpt below)
Ximinez: Right! If that’s the way you want it — Cardinal! Poke her with the soft cushions!
Ximinez: Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: It doesn’t seem to be hurting her, lord.
Ximinez: Have you got all the stuffing up one end?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez [angrily hurling away the cushions]: Hm! She is made of harder stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch…THE COMFY CHAIR!
Fang [terrified]: The…Comfy Chair?
[Biggles pushes in a comfy chair — a really plush one]
Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair!
[They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair]
Ximinez [with a cruel leer]: Now — you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. [aside, to Biggles] Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess
Biggles: I confess!
Ximinez: Not you!
“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
The one with aviator cap and goggles killed me.
JMO.
If you are voting early in Texas, the MAGA / America First choices for three races are:
US Senate: Vote for Ken Paxton, ………………………………. NOT john cornyn
Attorney General: Vote for Mayes Middleton, ………… NOT chip roy
Railroad Commissioner: Vote for Jim Wright, ………… NOT bo french
Thanks for taking time to vote.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Interesting.
Pretty much all of the conservative/MAGA voices agree with Paxton and Middleton.
However many endorsed Bo French instead of Jim Wright.
I think his donations to DEMS, and alignment with Dustin Burrows were the main issues.
Many endorsed Bo?
Could be …….. it is known that many demos love him as a RINO …….. MAGA / America Firsters, not so much.
SCOTUS’ Callais ruling is the gift that will keep on giving.
The Court just vacated two lower court rulings on minority-majority districts and sent them back down to the lower court for reconsideration in light of Callais.
The Mississippi and North Dakota cases both involved state legislative district – Callais prohibits race-based districting in state legislative districts as well. (The North Dakota case involved a district drawn for a Native American majority).

Both SCOTUS rulings were 8-1. Yes, guess who….
A properly functioning Senate would not have installed KBJ. Today, a properly functioning Congress would have already impeached and removed KBJ.
KBJ is not in good standing. She is too dumb and/or anti-Constitutional.
When a woman can’t define what a woman is how can she interpret the law?
She’s doing her job of moving the overton window for decorum, commentary, analysis and reasoning. Shame on the Rs who voted for her. Once again they are the deciding voice in the corruption and destruction of our institutions.
WELCOME TO COOKING DAY!
Where Thomas Massie is fixing to be thrown in the pot by his district and be set until he is officially COOKED!
Great for MAGA in the near-near term.
Terrible for the GOP once Trump is out of office.
You must have us confused with people who care about the GOP.

Who’s gonna tell him? LOL!
“Sugar Land” another moniker for 🐊?
Again, a situation of non assimilation….they were served a traditional Irish breakfast…ya don’t wanna eat pork, then don’t eat it. and STFU.

Respect my nation’s laws first and then I’ll consider respecting your culture.
Just got off the phone with a friend that I convinced to vote in the primaries. He made a mistake on sign in:
Note to those voting in GA. Do not sign in as “unaffiliated”! Even though GA has “open” primaries, if you sign in as unaffiliated you get nerfed. “Open” is not actually open. You don’t get a vote in the most important races, Gov, SoS, Lt Gov, State Senate, ect! You also don’t get access to special ballot questions!
Rattenberger is up to it again

Paging AG Blanche.
Dude is a snake of the highest order. Democrat in Republican clothing. It is explicitly against state law. Tabulation must be public!!! What a total POS! I am so glad Kemp can’t run again. But that scum bag Ratsperger wants to be Governor. I would say he has obvious conflicts of interest. But its likely way worse than that considering he stonewalled every attempt to look into 2020.
official Press Release from the Dept. of Treasury “Treasury Targets Flotilla Organizers and Muslim Brotherhood Networks Supporting HAMAS”

going after the money flowing for those organizating and paying the bad guys to do their ugly deeds.
Found this article while cruising over the RT News website.
Lithuania, maybe other Baltic States and Poland are openly talking big about “removing the Russian enclave called Kaliningrad”. An enclave with about 1+ Million People that is located between Poland and Lithuania.
Kaliningrad = Formerly the historic German city of Königsberg, annexed and repopulated by the USSR after WWII. At the time included a major ship yard and Nazis Naval Base on the Baltic.
Now put this in context with the US STOPPING the rotation of mechanized US Units in Poland and Baltic States as well as draw downs. The Baltic A-Holes and like minded A-Holes in Poland were planning to use US Ground Troops at least as backstop or threat in being … related to this not so veiled threat.
Hopefully the US does the same in Hungary and Romania to forestall any bellicose talk v/v Moldova.

Not only is there NO Russian Threat justifying US assets in Europe … the EU NATO members are overtly working on fomenting OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS by a DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE, directly on acknowledged (by Treaty) Russian Territory.
TEND to AGREE on ” DON’T POKE The BEAR ”
TOO MANY Things going on and SATIATING POLAND’s NEED to prove they are NOT a Super Highway between Western Europe and Russia IS NOT in Their Best Interest.
MAYBE Pick On Sweden since THEY CONQUERED the Land that Poland Sits on – once upon a Time… or MONGOLA

Interesting. How Trump is trying to get the EU and European NATO nations to face reality and fulfill their commitments. A lot of FAFO hardball here.
Senator Michael Holmstrom just sounded the alarm on Minnesota’s horrendous legislative process.
Nearly half of the 3K pages of omnibus bills were unveiled on the final day of session, leaving minutes to read thousands of pages before voting.
If they actually read the bills, their one step head of the senate in DC.
