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 173 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.
Never give up!
Alex Zanardi stood on top of the racing world.
A Formula 1 driver.
A two-time CART champion.
A man who had already conquered dreams most people never even dare to chase.
Then…
One crash changed everything.
Twisted metal.
Screaming sirens.
Silence.
Doctors weren’t talking about racing anymore.
They were talking about whether he would survive.
When he woke up…
Both of his legs were gone.
The world wrote his ending that day.
Everyone believed the story was over.
Everyone…
Except him.
There were no cameras.
No cheering crowds.
No trophies waiting.
Only pain.
He lifted his arms.
Pain.
One more repetition.
More pain.
One more.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Thousands of repetitions.
Thousands of moments where nobody was watching.
He wasn’t fighting another driver.
He was fighting yesterday’s version of himself.
Most people never saw the hardest race of his life.
Because it happened long before he ever reached another starting line.
Years later…
Paralympic Games.
Silence.
Three…
Two…
One…
The gun fires.
He explodes forward.
Not with legs.
With relentless will.
Every turn of the handcycle buried another impossible.
Every painful stroke became an answer to everyone who said it couldn’t be done.
The finish line gets closer.
The crowd rises.
Gold.
Then another gold.
Then another.
Then another.
Four Paralympic gold medals.
The crash took his legs.
But it never took his courage.
It never took his purpose.
It never took his dream.
And on that finish line…
Alex Zanardi didn’t just win a race.
He proved something far greater.
The strongest part of a human being…
…has never been the body.
It’s the soul.
More large scale fraud of taxpayers…
Nick Shirley personally confronted an “adult daycare” to their faces in NYC with THOUSANDS of GHOST MEMBERS despite receiving taxpayer funds — they instantly PANICKED
SHIRLEY: “It’s public tax dollars you are receiving. Do you gave 7,000 members?”
STAFF: “No.”
SHIRLEY: “So, why did you bill for 7,000?”
“Are you committing fraud?”
STAFF: “Leave, sir. LEAVE!”
SHIRLEY: “We are sick of people defrauding our taxes.”
“$12.9 MILLION dollars.”
Thank you Harrison. I’m been feeling kind of ill since the Molotov cocktail re Mandami (sp) was “elected” as the Mayor of New York.
Thank God for Nick Shirley. I hope I live long enough to witness President Trump giving him a MEDAL OF HONOR for all he has done to expose corruption and theft.
I’ve been grieving about New York since September 11, 2001. Don’t know who exactly or what or why evil spirits from all walks of life are intent on destroying the first “Melting Pot of America.”
I went to Ellis Island many years ago with one of my sisters. We have copies of my Grandparent’s LEGAL entry into the US, where they traveled in steerage class below decks to arrive here.
Really chaps my *ss that theft is now legal in New York.
This song calms me down at times.
Elbow
NYC is viewed by those outside the nation as an American icon and had long been a financial and cultural center. As such, it’s a natural target of those who hate our nation and wish her ill.
That’s great you have such a historical family document. Hopefully digitized and backed up for future generations of your family.
Unfortunately there are many deep blue areas where crime is “legal” and those like Twinkle Toes in Minny who let off the worst of the worst. It’s necessary for the Dims to have it so, since things which are crimes here are all things the hordes of invaders do as a matter of course…
Nice song – new to me, but I like their style. Relaxing indeed. You might appreciate this for destressing:
9/11 made it a victory for Islam and terrorism; heck the memorial gardens are Mecca for them – black marble and all.
Instead of a shrine to those lost, it is hailed as a place of prayer to Allah’s terrorists ‘sacrificed’ there in his name. It is a victory for them every time terrorism wins; and they are using Our laws to do it, with Sharia thrown in for good measure.
Pitiful, really, what a great city can be made into; when communism and Islam reign. Look at LA, London , Paris, and all the great cities around the world; the conquest is getting close to complete and it was ushered in with mass migration for the NWO/Communism with death to Israel and the USA.
God Help US
It wasn’t Our neighbors to the south that invaded; it was ME /Islam leading the drug trade in the Central and South Americas, human trafficking, arms, and even nuclear. ALL the things started by NATO with US cooperation and money in the ‘wars’ in the ME. While the ‘spread’ came to Our borders.
H*ll we were in Afghanistan for 20 years setting it all up for the NWO/Communism’s reign worldwide. A whole generation subjected to an onslaught of grooming and drugs. A whole new batch of Complexes to run everything from your bathrooms to mass migration to property taxes and any other laws for them to control in a complex manner.
After Afghanistan it was Ukraine, Kosovo, and the Americas; chaos and dismantling Europe along the way with their full cooperation and leadership. WW111 would wipe out Russia and leave China and the rest of the world NWO/Communism just waiting to be RUN. Human experimentation with onslaught to human DNA, massive abortions, mental drugs, aimed at the ‘Bible Thumpers’……..what could go wrong?
God Help US
I have 3 CDs of David Miracle that is really magical! A very gifted entity! Something kinda special about those woodwind instruments! Thank you for this!
You’re welcome. It connects in a primal sort of way, that’s soothing.
Flute music of a different sort, but if you haven’t heard of him – Munro Gauld has put out a lot of traditional Scottish flute music played on a Tom Aebi wooden flute, which is a copy of an 1841 design. There’s some good Celtic flute music around as well. (have a rather eclectic music taste)
Very nice tune. Never heard of Elbow before.
Did you know Molotov and Stalin were self chosen names. They mean Hammer and Steel, respectively.
And that giving the inflammatory device his name was dark Finnish WW2 Humor.
When the Soviets invaded Finland in late 1939, the Finns put up a fierce resistance which Stalin did not expect. The Finns also painted murals of Stalin on their defensive positions to confuse the Soviet troops who were terrified of shooting at or in any way destroying a picture of Stalin. Another funny story regarding that time was Hitler contacted Stalin (likely through intermediaries) and asked, mockingly, if the Soviets needed any military help with the Finns.
Philly is next to be ‘changed’ for the betterment of us all; the NWO/Communism will soon have the momentum it needs.
The capture of the largest population areas in the world are almost complete.
God Help US
We lost God AND broke His most rigid Commandment; thou shall not kill. AND his most innocent, the future of the world; over 73 MILLION abortions yearly for the last decades, pedophilia rampant, and churches empty.. He is a forgiving God, but he also may let us in for what we deserve at our own hands. Soiled hands.
Not following the US Constitution is another black deed. His hand was in that writing. Giving up Our rights as We slept. AND let illegals and illegal voting reign like monarchs.
Not a fatalist, I do see hope, but for each glimmer something else makes a shadow. I have to get in full Tea Party mode for sure; where hope is alive.

Well said, thank you.
We always have hope and yet must keep watching, doing His work, encouraging each other.

No doubt the WWII veterans that were at the July 4th celebrations in DC were very appreciative of this (it’s the memorial they were sitting at watching the fireworks display in the pic I shared last weekend).
My father was a WW2 vet. I went to see that memorial not long after it opened. It was beautiful. I thought it was perfect the way it has an Atlantic side and a Pacific side. The communists do so many things that infuriate me, but seeing what they did to that monument tested my patience like few things ever have. Thank God for President Trump.
Yes, thank God for our president, and WW2 vets like your father and mine. 🇺🇲🙏
I had the honor of escorting three WWII veterans on an Honor Flight to the Memorial and to Arlington just after the Memorial opened, an experience I will never forget.
I’m so glad to see it returned to its original beauty.
Our monuments weren’t neglected due to apathy.
They were actively targeted for extinction as a cultural Psy-Op, really, an Act of War.
But our God says America will live and not die–and we say what You say, Father God, Hallelujah!

It isn’t X – it’s your browser or ISP. I don’t have an account, but can see X posts just fine (do use a VPN though).
That said, you can always copy the link and change the x.com to xcancel.com and see them if you open the modified link in a separate browser window. For that particular tweet, here’s the altered link.

And by the natural rights conferred unto us by God we are entitled to take any action necessary to rid our own land of such invaders. God wills us to protect ourselves from invaders, He does not will us to submit. The brave and the strong must rise to protect our land from evil, no matter the cost.

Just think the ME is garnering Our attention while Islam is taking root all over the globe, to usher in the NWO/Communism. The ME will be the biggest stronghold; Islam is the only bedfellow for Communism and Sharia law is communism itself.
God Help US
Iran wants to ‘fight’ for NWO/Communism to spread; the rest of the ME want to encroach upon the world and spread. Peacefully overtaking large cities then small towns. The enemy within is more successful at times. Especially when populations are tired of wars that never end in a conquest of good over evil, but a ‘draw’!
Why “praise be to …”
It’s said as a taunt…sarcastically.
Full speed ahead President Trump!!! And then keep them out of our country, root out the ones here that are digging deeper roots.
Please God give him strength.

@glennbeck
Trump wasn’t flip-flopping on Iran when he went from calling their leaders “rational” to “scum” in a day. If the New York Times could actually think for a moment, they’d realize that’s how Trump works.
Here’s what I think is happening. Trump isn’t looking for a moderate in Iran to play nice with. He’s looking for an Albert Speer. At the very end of WWII, when Hitler wanted to burn Germany to the ground, Speer looked in the mirror and decided he wanted to live. He betrayed the regime to survive the aftermath.
By unleashing hell and squeezing Iran to the brink, Trump isn’t trying to convert the whole council. He’s making the regime look so completely doomed that, hopefully, one self-interested insider will decide it’s better to help the outside win than to get taken out by a bomb in the middle of the night.
Video…
They aren’t rational people. Their only reward is to become a “martyr.”
Good description of the NY Slimes staff.
It works for the Iranian terrorists too.
Wasn’t Albert Speer Hung after the trials ?
Iran privately told Trump advisers “they made a mistake” in shooting at ships in Strait of Hormuz
Excerpt:
The Iranians have told the U.S. that the attacks on ships were initiated by an errant entity in their system who wants to undermine the deal.
The Trump administration, however, maintains that the ships were targeted for another reason. The U.S. believed that a southern lane in the Strait of Hormuz, the one along the Omani coast, would be open under the memorandum. But Iran was caught off guard by how rapidly traffic was moving — and how much of the oil and gas traffic was moving through the southern lane — and that is why they reneged, one of the officials said.

@visionergeo
According to a high-stakes report by Axios, the United States has issued a definitive, final ultimatum to Iran, giving Tehran until Saturday to publicly condemn the recent hostile attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and explicitly declare the vital waterway open for unrestricted international maritime transit.
Washington has coupled this strict deadline with an ominous warning of severe, devastating consequences should the Iranian regime refuse to comply. The diplomatic standoff has reached a knife-edge, with U.S. forces in the region positioned to act immediately upon the expiration of the deadline. Underscoring the extreme gravity of the situation, a senior U.S. official delivered a blunt, uncompromising warning to Axios, stating: “If this is not their position by tomorrow, it is not going to be a good day for them.”
This explicit threat signals that the Trump administration is prepared to abandon diplomatic channels and deploy overwhelming kinetic and military force to secure the world’s most critical energy corridor, pushing the Middle East to the absolute brink of a major regional conflagration.

Bomb the crap outta them
Thrice.
There’s a bad moon arising.
Time for Regime change, I think.
President Trump has resisted saying that Regime Change is part of his goal, only No Nuclear and open Straits of Hormuz.
I’m guessing he already knew that there was no way in hell the Islamist Fundamentalist in control of Iran would comply. He just had to go through the negotiation process to show he did everything he could to work out a peaceful solution.
I have no idea how more moderate, non Islamist Iranians can gain control of that country to stop this madness. Out of the 90M+ Iranians I hope they have a plan to do just that.
To end in victory, does the fight have to be a fair fight, equal strength on both sides. Or can it just be plain old good vs evil?
We are a ‘just’ nation, law abiding, and Islam uses that to their advantage. They use the sword, like 9/11 and wind up being the winner; they now rule NYC instead of being vanquished for their deeds. The black marble shrine is their Mecca in the USA!!!
If it’s good vs evil I call it a just war; but the real enemy has to be named…….Our real enemy is Communism along with Islam, it’s bedfellow; Hitler used their tactics in both WWs. Who do you think he killed and tortured all those Jewish People for?? The ME and Islam!
God Help US
Good vs evil; I say bomb the H*ll outta them.
When Trump went in to Iran I thought it might have been for economic reasons only. And a little to protect Israel.
This strike has more meaning than that. IMHO Breaking a ceasefire is evil and dirty playing on Iran’s part. AND louder threats to Israel and US.
I would not bother meeting with the Iranians. They have no intention of doing anything to bring about the ending of bombing of their country; so bombs away!
it’s Saturday……..

There’s also the distinct possibility that there are multiple factions at odds within Iran – one being the IRGC, another being a semi-rational group that doesn’t. Of course, it’s also possible the two groups are working together and pretending to be at odds. Only time will tell.

Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏
Howdy!
Morning!
JMO.
Senator Thune, within two months, has, single handily, transformed his public image of being a RINO globalist into being a low-down commie.
South Dakotans must be wondering how in the heck did they end up with a commie for their Senator.
Well, it is pretty simple. You see, he must have always been a commie …… he wears the disguise of a RINO globalist to fool his constituents.
The Save America Act was his downfall.
80+% of the voters want it passed. The House passed it. President Trump has included it in his must have MAGA / America First agenda.
But if it passed, the democrats and RINOs would never win another election.
Thune’s commie minders said he had to stop it. Presto, he stopped pretending he was a pro-American senator voting for the America citizens and pulled off his mask and exposed the commie underneath.
The problem for him is that President Trump will get the Save America Act passed. Just today, Senator Susan Collins of Maine told President Trump she changed her vote and will now vote for the Save America Act…….”Susan Collins shocks Senate, gives Trump’s SAVE Act new life”.
That brings the republican “yes” count up to 50 plus JD’s 51st vote.
Thune’s excuse for not removing the senate filibuster rule was that it didn’t matter because he didn’t have 50 republican votes to pass the Save America Act. President Trump just took Thune’s last excuse away.
If he still refuses to eliminate the filibuster rule, Thune will lose his leadership seat and will lose his next reelection effort.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer commie.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Low down Commie scum
Don’t forget one particular Democrat Party senator, who’s edging ever closer to crossing over.
Do you remember how the character of f was painted about 4 years ago, and why?
Article:
https://www.thelist.com/2012659/strange-things-john-fetterman-everyone-ignores/
Over time, some have come to like his counter c-dem statements
( but the actions have voted in lock step with c-dems for 4 years…i.e. unsaid, likes the campaign funding stream and play$ the games.
– Is there a rare exception in verifiable voting action? )
I do not know
Thune was not going to run for re-election & had said that he wanted to go home & run for guvnah.
When John Thune finally goes home he will not be able to run for dog catcher & he may not be able to remain a resident.
Yet didn’t the state GOP vote not to censor him? Seems like the apparatus is still backing him and may continue later in the gov election.
Thune is a LIAR!.
Liar=Establishment UniParty RINO=Thune
And may others in the Republican Party
Bob Dole spoke about how he wanted to get into politics. The only way for him to do that was to become a Republican.
Democrats didn’t win in Kansas.
Well, at least his choice was simply feckless, not deceptive.
Hey, his state elected Tom Daschle many times, so who expects any different ? Thune was the timely alternative to Daschle after 9/11, but why would anyone think those people won’t elect another democrat in time ? A commie rino is likely the best you can get.
Thune typical senator. Don’t know if I trust Susan…bill
Thune: The tallest guy with the best hair. DC has multiple stables of these guys, with versatile, stick-on credentials. Am guessing they’re already canvassing the farm team for his replacement.
Hope it was worth it, John.

And for those that say, they’ve been here for decades, generations their Americans. From decades of experience professional as well as personal, most are here for the money and benefits. Mexico, Guatemala etc is their home and the flag they proudly fly while many stomp and spit on ours. The ones who truly love this country, do not want illegal immigration.
For those who argue they’re here doing the jobs Americans won’t do should consider that Americans can’t get the jobs because they’ve given them to illegals or H1Bs.
The branch manager at my credit union is also a personal friend of mine…
She told me her employer credit union does not open accounts for illegals. That they require proof of legal residency in the U.S. to open an account. It’s merely a company policy.
So the banks and credit unions that open accounts for illegals can simply change the policy and close accounts for illegals and stop accepting them. No new laws, no new regulations… just a simple policy change with an internal memo.
I wonder how the banks and credit unions will identify which accounts belong to illegals after they have been opened.
This is good news and might help stop some of the illegals from staying here any longer than they have. If they aren’t citizens they should be deported as the American voters requested in the last pres. election. President Trump has been getting the job done as best that he can and this banking action is another way to do that. Illegals milk the system, get jobs and send money back to their home countries. While not necessarily a bad thing, for illegals it takes on a much more negative meaning. Keep the pressure on to send them out of our nation.
Without any doubt President Trump has the best Cabinet of any President ever!!!
In the interest of taxpayers,
in addition, with help from whistle blowers,
citizens that de-fraud the gov’t soc sec, medicare, medicaid, etc programs
could use the valuable experience of what its like to be a mischievous, known thief,
via accountability (via their accts, or shoe boxes, having a $, or bitcoin etc. problem)
and instead,
the citizen fraudsters ( and / or citizen criminals) should get to work and earn honest paychecks for an honest days work.
There are ample honest jobs to do… : )

There is about a 100 mile stretch near Chicagoland, running east and west on I-80, that has had multiple roll over big rig wrecks, often shutting down parts of this interstate. We never hear of the important facts relating to the rig drivers, which leads me to believe…
Company insurance rates going up because of crashes. It’s hard to insure new drivers with less than 2 years experience already. Looks like some companies make enough profit to overcome the insurance increases when they hire new , inexperienced drivers, or allow non English speaking, or reading drivers to man their vehicles.
Maybe de-banking the illegals or the entities that facilitate illegal immigration… as mentioned up thread, will work in more ways than one.
The American insurance industry must be scrutinized–and is surely involved, deeply then.
Like with Medicare and Medicaid.
There is about a 20 mile stretch within that zone that is in an adjacent construction work zone in which the traffic has narrow shoulders, and irregular aligned concrete barriers along both sides, some tight double curves and drivers with white knuckles ( it feels risky to navigate with adjacent travel lanes and erratic drivers doing speedy lane changes with trailers ) etc.
An alternate east west route should be considered during construction – but a safe through route was hard to find.
The best part was getting on the other side, past that stretch of I-80, undinged…and not wanting to do that undesired, risky drive again
( but, then there was the needed return trip…)
Imho
That construction zone is by me, (I don’t live in Kankakee, family does). Its a death trap. But its still very bad, outside the construction zones. And when its not undergoing construction.
Now…imagine this…an exit that takes one to the road to Nascar, been closed for months, was open over the holiday weekend…for raceway traffic.
Shut down the transport companies that employ them and charge those companies with aiding and abetting terrorism.
Apparently nobody in America is willing to use the law that is there, 8 USC 1324, when did the people become so stupid they fail to use the legal tools available? Anyone who aids an illegal in any damn way could be charged under that law. Failure to use it is a dereliction of duty by police, prosecutors, politicians, hell, anyone who has a responsibility to uphold U S law.
When? When the judges, law began to not enforce the law but rather protect the law breakers.
Why can’t the DOJ charge the judges who consistently release the criminal illegals?
Judges are primary cause in the decay of our society…bill
Anyone who issued a license to an illegal should be charged under 8 USC 1324 and given a couple of years to think about it in a nice quite federal prison.

In America, offensive speech is called “Disorderly Conduct”
In my son’s case 25 years ago, that is what a butt print left on the hood of a car is called.
“They” can call it whatever they wish, but it doesn’t change the simple fact that the 1st amendment protects speech that is without a direct call to violence. The only issue is being able to afford a good enough lawyer or get a legal group that offers free representation for such cases to take the case…and a willingness to take it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.

“Very scary footage has emerged of literally hundreds of venomous snakes escaping a breeding farm as floodwaters tear through a Chinese village.”
“The breeding farm reportedly housed a mix of venomous cobras, king rat snakes and non-venomous water snakes – as well as alligators.”
What in the world is the reason for having a breeding farm, for venomous reptiles etc?
To collect the venom to make antivenin.
Ok, that makes a lot of sense! Thank you!

Reptiles are raised for food, hides and the pet trade, also.

More proof Democrats are total idiots:
‘Imbecilic’ congresswoman advises ICE officers on what to shoot
Democrat Rep. Sylvia Garcia on ICE shooting an illegal alien who tried to plow federal agents with his car: “If they really think that a car is going to hurt somebody, you shoot the tires. You don’t shoot the driver.”
She seems not to know a flat tire will not immediately stop a speeding vehicle, they can go quite some distance on the flat tire and rim, definitely far enough to run you over and kill you.
There was instant mockery online:
“This is the same kind of person that says police should shoot a criminal in the leg.”
“Well, we can’t help that she is full retard and that she’s probably never tried to shoot a tire out.”
“Democrats like illegal aliens more than their constituents.”
“Let’s put her in front of a car and try it out.”
“If someone points a gun at you, shoot the gun, not the criminal.”
“Wrong! Shoot the driver. The tires aren’t trying to kill someone.”

“Joe Biden entered politics by winning his first election to the New Castle County Council in 1970, having first run for office in 1969.
He served on the council for two years before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 at age 29, making him one of the youngest senators in American history. “
I was in 8th grade in 1972.
indeed,,,,,
O’ biden is an low I.Q. grifter.
Each grifter has been in office longer than than the four founders combined.
Remember when we elected all those who promised they would get term limits through and then go home (about 2011)?
Well term limits still hasn’t happened and most of them are still their (unless they died).
Term limits were passed, but defeated in court as an unconstitutional requirement.
We tried them through the states, but the court rejected that too.
Funny, but now the Left wants to term limit justices.
Gingrich failed to pass an amendment to send out for ratification.
As you point out, the issue remained, but it is politically self-destructive.
You either term limit yourself, or your opponents attack you for your hypocrisy.
Imagine if we held MAID advocates to account for not availing themselves of said services. That is what we do to term limit advocates.
The people still want them, but the activists work to prevent there ever being enough votes for an amendment. I chose suicide as an example for that very reason.
Political taqiyya.
I thought about this a few days ago.
Our early leaders did not die in office.
This highlights how elites turned politics into a career based on a shift of mindset … from one of service to one of being “most qualified to wield power”. Same mind set that created the CONGRESSIONALLY Protected Professional Employees who control the Executive Branch of the Government.

I think the Republican plan is to pass the SAVE act right before midterms so its too late to implement,thereby giving the Democrats the Congress.
Then they will promise,in order to keep us sending donations,that they will be all over it come 2028,when President Trump is leaving.I am convinced they dislike him as much as the Democrats.We are in an abusive relationship with the Republican party and I’m just not savvy enough to see how this will realistically change.
All the good President Trump is trying to do with trade will be then credited to the next president and congress.
Maybe Sundance will have some forward ideas..
keep in mind there are a few republican haters of President Trump that will not be returning and, if republicans are voted in, will have at least two if not more MAGA senators.
Just ruminating! I think Thune is holding out to give to give McConnell his last dying wish to destroy President Trump.
McConnell was, and still is, his mentor and Thune owes his career and his rise in the Senate to McConnell. A misplaced loyalty in my opinion.
Thune’s duty is to the wellbeing of this country and it’s citizens. He letting down at least 80% of country at a particularly dangerous time in the continuation of this Republic.
There is no loyalty in DC. Most likely Thune is owned by the same players that own McConnell. McConnell is not keeping McConnell alive so that McConnell can vote against Trump, someone else is.
sTILL
Seeing that picture of the “turtle” on the fence post, can you see Thune hanging on the jock strap that is in the turtles’ mouth???
===
Are his pants on fire???
I am pretty sure that the Resistance judges would declare it too late if the SAVE Act was passed today.
Trump is wonderful in how he treats Iran. Trump hears they are planning to kill him, and his response is, … if I see plans starting to be played out… I will send 1,000 missles into the country, followed by many more thousands of missles. (threat and counter threat).
Moha-mad was following one of the DARK FORCES (anger-rage) force. And Bush, Obama, Biden were using the other Dark Force (run away, hide, distract).
Anger and Fear … both dark forces. Trump balances those 2 forces … using GOD’S Wisdom and GOD POWER.
Iran has run into a greater force than RAGE-ANGER … and it is GOD FORCE.
Iran will have to fire the “angry god” and pick the LOVING-WISE GOD instead. 🙂

A wise old man
was carved from oak.
the more he thought
the more he smoked.
Oak is often used to smoke in BBQ.
My preference for smoking tends to run more often towards mesquite, hickory, apple, pecan, and maple, but oak ain’t bad and makes for good foundation bed coals for the others.
For carving I like oak, walnut, pecan, vine spiral wrapped dogwood for canes or staffs, and whatever I can get a hold of–but must admit I’m not a very good carver at all, no where even close to Bjorkdream, but I enjoy it anyway!
For wood working and furniture making I’ll use anything I can find that has ‘character’!
It is truly amazing what you find hidden in that wood.
Amazing.
His eyes seem sad but kind. Quite a gift you have.
Because the 11,000 already used worked so well…
Not only should they be locked and ready but aimed at top government facilities and top officials residence. Its time to hit hard the money.
It would be more believable if Vance chimed in making sure that he would carry this out.
I agree but I have a feeling SecWar, will have already acted before anyone draws a second breath.
We’re fighting a group of people who absolutely have no concern to what happens to their civilian population.
The “leaders” probably have bunkers and supplies and planned escape routes in the event Iran is leveled.
While that’s true regarding their disregard for the people of the nation, what they do absolutely care about is POWER – and without a nation they would have none…
Type and target…
Q: Was it projected by anyone in advance of the current war that the elimination of top level Iranian leaders would most likely lead to more radical lower level leaders wanting to prove themselves and, at the very least, lead to uncertainty about who was in control during a peace agreement?
Yes. Before the current war with Iran began, U.S. intelligence and independent analysts explicitly projected that eliminating top Iranian leaders would likely empower hardliners and create uncertainty about control during negotiations.
Key prewar projections:
| Projection | Source | Timing |
|————|——–|——–|
| A CIA intelligence report completed shortly before hostilities suggested removing the supreme leader could empower hardliners within the Revolutionary Guards
| The National Intelligence Council’s February assessment concluded that if Supreme Leader Khamenei were killed, the most probable outcome would be appointment of another hardline successor from the existing elite, preserving ideological hostility toward Israel and the West
| Analysts warned that killing top leaders may not moderate Tehran’s behavior and could produce “continuity with radicalization,” especially if the IRGC gains larger strategic decision-making role
| Experts noted that increased assassinations could enhance regime resilience while promoting less experienced individuals to higher ranks, who may intensify defiance
About uncertainty during peace agreements:
The prewar assessments also found that no unified opposition coalition was poised to take over if leadership was killed, meaning the establishment would attempt to preserve power continuity. Currently, persistent internal disagreements remain among Iranian regime leaders over concessions to accept, with various power centers jockeying to influence negotiations. The untested leadership of Mojtaba Khamenei (Supreme Leader’s son) has yet to appear publicly, leaving uncertainty about his guidance as supreme leader.
The assumption that removing key leaders could bring rapid regime change has proven to be a miscalculation, with assassinations leaving little room for negotiation as those stepping up appear far less willing to compromise.
——–
Q: Did the Israeli IDF do most of the assassinations?
Yes. The Israeli IDF conducted most of the assassinations of top Iranian leaders in the current war.
Don’t trust someone who releases ‘top secret’ info as a See I Told You So.
Also, they don’t get the current situation right.
Iran is in an in-between stage where competing powers vie to gain control.
Hardliners don’t have full power. Yet. But they control enough to sabotage others.
Yes, the problem in this case is they (hardliners) control much – if not all – of the military side of the equation via the IRGC.
Typical lawyerly advice:
Don’t change the status quo, something bad might happen;
Things could get worse if you do anything;
I don’t recommend you do anything at a time like this; are a few examples.
If one doesn’t like the status quo, do something about it. VSGPDJT listens to what the options are from all sources and then he acts on what he deems is the best course of action.
Whatever faction who rises to leadership will have a tough time remaining in power. It will not be easy.
BTW they won’t have nuclear weapons.
Did Iran appropriately address the “errant part of their system”?
Appropriately address = eliminate.
Is the U.S. appropriately addressing the ‘errant part of their system’?
Indirect answer:
Rome was not built in a day.
Or in other words…
working on it …
as in
its a continuous maintenance and improvement project…
the
liberty is there to do so,
if we can keep it…
What country over 249 years old, has no ‘errant part of their system’
( that the jealous, nefarious seek to
exploit ) ?
hmmm….
“Yes. Before the current war with Iran began, U.S. intelligence and independent analysts explicitly projected that eliminating top Iranian leaders would likely empower hardliners and create uncertainty about control during negotiations.”
For the hundreds of thousands of hardcore religious fanatics who inhabit every corner of Iran — if not several millions of such people — it’s all hardliners from top to bottom, and from bottom to top.
These hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of hardcore fanatics will ruthlessly murder everyone who opposes them, even if that costs millions of other Iranians their lives. The fanatics have both the means and the will to do this.
Those hundreds of thousands if not millions of fanatics will accept whatever damage is inflicted on Iran even if it means the near complete destruction of their economy and their civilian infrastructure, and the impoverishment of most of Iran’s civilian population.
When a hundred of them at the top are killed by Israel’s assassins or by US air and missile strikes, another hundred stand ready to take their place. And another hundred, and another hundred.
Iran is divided into thirty-one military districts. The military command structures in each of those thirty-one districts can assume control of the country if the C&C structure at the top is taken out.
More than that, the leadership inside each of these military districts can independently carry on the war against their Arab neighbors and Israel as long as they have access to the thousands of missiles and drones which have been stashed away in a number of places around the country.
Here is the bottom line.
Without a massive ground invasion and occupation of Iran — the whole damn country, not just parts of it — those hardcore fanatics will remain in control of Iran and will be using the missile systems, the drones, and the various other types of military ordnance they’ve stashed away in many places around the country to continuously threaten Israel, to attack Iran’s Arab neighbors, and to keep their own population in check.
So riddle me this – if they are all powerful and still have so many weapons, why haven’t they eliminated Israel – or all the US forces in the region – or even simply used their “massive numbers” to overwhelm defenses? After all, they are constantly chanting “Death to” about both…
Harrison, please don’t play this stupid game of spouting lofty rhetorical talking points which have no bearing whatsoever on the true military situation which faces the US in trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to free navigation.
Let’s see if you can offer a sound military plan for dealing with the thousands of drones and missiles of all sizes which have been squirreled away in places not easy to identify and attack, and which can be and will be retrieved and fired at shipping in the Strait of Hormuz whenever the IRGC decides to violate the very latest MOU or agreement that’s been reached.
The Iranians don’t need to fire hundreds of these weapons a day to keep the Strait closed. They can fire a few here and there every day and the maritime insurance industry will not allow further transit of the Strait — holding the region’s oil economy hostage in the process.
You completely missed the point…and it’s not a game. I strongly disagree with your assessment of their existing capabilities.
Regarding the Strait – funny thing that, hundreds of ships passed through while Iran was doing just what you said – and that is only the count of ships which had their AIS turned on. Then there are the alternate routings that have been used and the additional ones being brought on line.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sure seems to me that your argument here, is that it would have been better to leave the people who wanted to nuke us in place, because the lower levels wanted to nuke us more.
OOOOOOOK!
Platitudes aren’t a plan. Please offer a militarily credible plan for removing those hundreds of thousands of religious fanatics who control Iran from the top of Iranian society down to the bottom in every part of the country — people who would kill millions of their fellow Iranians to stay in power, and who would knowingly sacrifice Iran’s population to a nuclear war if it came down to that. I am all ears.
I don’t believe the word that you are looking for is platitude; try sarcasm. Riddle me this: what plan was Winston’s remark proposing?
Answer: none.
Winston is an intelligent person and every now and then he comes up with something good, but most of the time not. Take the one I’m responding to here, the main portion refers to IC analysis that states a blinding and obvious truth, to what point and purpose? The remark is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” other than the usual ‘Trump is messing up’ narrative, and he is the critic referred to by Teddy Roosevelt.
The second short little nugget at the end, is nothing more than promoting one of the deep state narratives designed to split MAGA, the one of Israel controlling Trump, which itself is nothing but a branch of “it’s the joos, it’s the joos.” Israel is just as controlled as the rest of us, it may be a general, but it definitely is not in command.
Personally, since Trump has done more than anyone else in the 47 year long battle against Iran, since the main component for a nuclear weapon currently resides underneath a pile of rubble, since the IRGC’s capabilities have been decimated, since one of the major points of banker’s control over us has been neutralized, since the point of which America hating hardliner that wants to nuke us is in control is moot, because DEAD is DEAD, I’m going to crash and burn with Trump’s plan, as I don’t really think that I could do much better.
Hey, but if you think you can, let’s hear it, I’m all ears.
Interesting piece in Foreign Affairs this week. I have been saying for years that Taiwan has been enjoying the benefits of flooding America with cheap stuff they manufactured, but have not been doing enough to provide for their own security. They could have been making themselves into Fortress Taiwan, so strong militarily that the cost of any Chinese invasion would deter such action. But no. Instead they preferred to hide behind America’s skirt, just like Europe. So I have argued against defending them.
Now this piece in FA that concludes with: “the principal lesson of the war in Ukraine is that a nation determined to survive must be willing to learn how to defend itself.” Yes! There is nothing we get from Taiwan that we can’t make ourselves or source from somewhere else. Tired of NATO. Tired of Europe. Tired of Taiwan.
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/ukraine-lesson-taiwan-keeps-missing
ditto
FYI – the quoted article is generated by the magazine that is the face of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – who is NOT friends of our nation and her sovereignty and has been involved in trying to shape American policy for over 100 years. Heavily influenced by Britain and globalists…YMMV.
That said, one of PDJT’s focuses has been on expanding and creating the domestic capabilities we are lacking at this time that are the majority of Taiwan’s exports to us – which is chips, electronics, and machinery – a significant portion of which are not able to be “sourced from somewhere else” at this time…
Additional note – while their spending on defense isn’t where it needs to be, it is on an upward curve, has been greater than the EU’s as a percent of GDP, and they have for years been working to make themselves a “fortress”, as you suggest. One of their biggest issues has been manpower…
Even our children are fair game for Big Pharma profits and destruction! What an abomination! Who knew?
I am starting to think if we eliminated big pharma altogether, we would be a healthier nation.
Both physically and financially.
Well….
Thousands of generations before ours continued to thrive and multiply without it.
Until John D Rockefeller began his insidious project to dispense withand denigrate efficacious natural remedies.
Amen. While there are SOME good things that come from that slimy industry (insulin for example), vaccines are definitely NOT one of them – nor are a plethora of other things (such as Ozempic, oxycotin, and all of the “mental health” drugs).
Some, agreed. It’s when they put profits before cures that things went south…deep south.
That is if cures were ever their raison d’être.
I still believe cures for cancers are known and have been for a long, long time.
Don’t disagree with any of that Betsy 🙂
Some info on where Pfizer is located, globally:
https://www.tradewindsdr.com/blog/pfizer-headquarters-and-global-office-locations-insights-with-tradewind-ai
Am going to guess the C suites in America, NYC and San Fran, occupy many millions of our dollars.
While I wouldn’t doubt the findings, I’m curious how many of the 18,000 children were unvaxxed. How did the study folks find them and what parents would even want to voluntarily put their heads in radar by offering their unvaxxed kid for the study?
I would think for the study to be reasonably valid there would need to be half vaxxed and half unvaxxed. 17,950 vaxxed and 50 unvaxxed would not be a valid study.
And health care often uses unbalanced study populations…big time.
The study was a retroactive one based on health insurance data collected over a 17 year period for all the children enrolled in the Henry Ford Health System, located in the greater Detroit area. Has nothing to do with anybody “volunteering their children” or “parents putting their heads in radar” – and included ALL children enrolled in said system.
Of course the numbers in each group weren’t equal – but the unvaxed cohort was in the thousands.
Whosoever knew and didn’t stop it shall be punished.
This is why they can’t be honest about risks.
That is 593 severe cases. I don’t know the overlap or the total vaxxed, but somewhere between 1 in 20 to 1 in 40 had adverse, life crippling, reactions. That would be millions of casualties in just a few years. (about 3.5 million births a year.)
It is one thing to say you’ll save thousands of lives for the cost of just a few. But this means we are ruining more lives than we save.
Big pharma’s business model is to destroy the human immune system with vaccines and shots of various kinds, then treat them with drugs for the rest of their lives for diseases a healthy immune system would have conquered.
Healthy Americans is NOT in big pharma’s interest. We must wake up and realize that big pharma has captured the American medical system and government regulatory agencies.
The Amish have never trusted the government. They are far ahead of the rest of us. They do not get shots. There is no autism. I haven’t seen any studies, but I suspect cancer rates are considerably lower than the rest of U.S. population.
I suspect cancer rates are considerably lower than the rest of U.S. population.
Undoubtedly – although in fairness that also has as much to do with their environmental exposure (or more precisely lack thereof) to many carcinogens and toxins, their food intake, and general life styles (physical exercise, fresh air, sunshine, etc.) – at least before 2021 when much of the general population began taking mRNA injections, which is a horse of a wholly different color…
Sometimes I am overwhelmed reading about all the efforts against the MAGA movement. Every front (moral, political, financial, etc.) seems to be at war with us and everything that made our country great. No matter which way we turn, there is war.
Depressing!!!
Trump’s effort, along with ours to support him, to fight on all these fromts is beyond reason and understanding.
Sorry; just had to vent.
It always makes me think of the many movies where the bad guys are trying to destroy the world and people are helping.
Here is a thought…too much emphasis has been placed on local economics of immigration/MAGA, from votes to jobs etc…that is where we latch on to.
I often wonder about the who and the deeper reasons to ‘get after’ MAGA. Because if we were that much of a threat, it would be very easy to quiet us.
My own thoughts involve the total and complete dismantling of the current business and public administration models that are used to run this country and the world…PDJT is a threat to that.
If our lives were sustainably made better, many of us would shut up and leave the globalists alone.
if we were that much of a threat, it would be very easy to quiet us.
Do you really believe that? Do you really not think and know how very hard they have been trying for a long time to do just that?
As with any large task, don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the totality of it – but instead focus on your part of the task that is immediate. (How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.)
More importantly, draw strength and calm from our Lord and Savior, pray, and spend time “living your best life” to recharge and uplift.
Thanks, Harrison. I’m 85, a vet and just tired. Spent the last 15 years studying the Constitution from an originalist, then created a video class that has been presented all over Texas in that time frame. A buddy of mine has done the same in Ohio. Still, with all that, the attack is relentless. I have to say (daily) the Surrender Prayer because it’s out best and only chance. Thanks again.
Understand. As we both know liberty requires eternal vigilance. Thanks much for staying in the fight brother and doing such outstanding work to help educate the younger generations! God Bless.
Seems impossible to get a simple straight answer to why Trump held up the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge and what he got in return to allow it to open.
Anyone know the answer?
How about we are just not into Canada anymore.
.
OR they are becoming an enemy to FREEDOM and Liberty.
.
Many Canadian citizens / subjects of the English Crown, seem to be nut jobs, we have enough of our own.
I saw a picture of it…I have no desire to cross it.
It has to do with the business case the bridge was designed for. Profit sharing and CA China EVs that were going to be shipped accross it.
U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra touched on that subject during this interview @ 22:30
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/07/02/two-politically-pretentious-canadians-interview-u-s-ambassador-pete-hoekstra/#more-284922
Thanks for posting. Ambassador Hoekstra is knowledgeable and articulate.
I’m not sure there is straight answer, it’s complicated, and with current events, Trump has to be flexible … and re-assess in the Moment … what is in best interests of America. And in your heart you know this, and probably want the bottom line answer. And in this case, it’s a movable target, subject to the “fog of war”. We are in “war” with canada (politically, financially, business-wise) , and Canada Leader is in Europe and chatting with china (about how to handle Trump)…. And Trump team is trying to decide how to handle Canada. Things you already know, I’m sure.
Probably some american businesses prefer to open the bridge.
From February: Sundance posted here.
“The USMCA renegotiation plan likely plays a big part in this announcement. Don’t react, just watch.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/02/09/president-trump-threatens-blockade-of-almost-completed-michigan-ontario-bridge/President Trump posted in February about it:
(Truth Social) – “As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel.
Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.
The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

President Trump last night:
“I was able to cut a MUCH BETTER DEAL for America, and by so doing, will be allowing the new and spectacular Gordie Howe International Bridge, spanning Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, to open on July 27th, as scheduled.
The original deal made was unacceptable to me! The new deal is great, and fair. Thank you and congratulations to the Canadian Government.
May we both have many years of success with this wonderful new development!!!
President DONALD J. TRUMP”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/116899360552761411
good answer.
How many people knew about the secret agencies involved in voting in the US executive branch until DOGE uncovered them! Now the US SC has restored presidential access to manage these with the Slaughter case!
Is it just me or are the posts on Treehouse (including those from Sundance) getting weirder and weirder.
We are going thru some very weird times. People are concerned, feeling helpless to stop what is taking place and are searching for reassurance. Plus there are a lot more trolls on this site than there use to be.
As for Sundance, he has always had a aura of mystery, intrigue, intelligence and of being ahead of the curve. You never see his face, hear his real name or know of his background.
Events and politics are getting weirder and weirder. Can’t just look away.
Having a MAGA president in the White House guaranteed that the leftist-Islamic alliance would double down on its plan for the destruction of the American political system, our western culture, and our Judeo-Christian based society. Much weirdness is directly and indirectly associated with that plan.
Maybe you can define “weird” and give a couple examples?
He’s reporting on weirder and weirder things.
For instance, how can we fathom the Timponzee codling child rapists?
Weird in what respect?
What we are seeing is the world as it is and has been for a long while…not as we thought it was or would wish it to be.
Sunlight really is a remarkable force.
Well there’s me for a start. 😱
But then I’m a Limey stuck in Snow Mexico so what do you expect? 🤣
England v Norway today in Miami, my friend…
Bring the house down on their heads, Erling Haaland!!!
🤣
I’ve seen grown men pull their own ‘eads off rather than face Erling. 😉
TBH, was hoping that ALL of the EU teams would be eliminated by ones from the Americas…but in this case, am in agreement 😉
Ummm… Erling who? 🤔
Bellingham is the new Haarland. 🤣
Deep down, I’m very shallow.
Was a great game, with the difference in the game was a couple of mistakes IMO. One by Norway’s goalie, one by the officials with the ball that hit the wire – maybe one by Haarland on what was an opportunity for a goal. Was surprised they took him out when it was tied and potentially headed to a shoot-out.
While Messie teed up the corner kick on their first goal – he too was scoreless tonight (Switzerland has one heck of a defense).
Does that make you a Snow Limey? ;-p
🤣
🤔 Sounds more like an iced beverage I could use a couple of right about now… 😉
As more Muslim communities are being established across the country, I am reminded of a cult that attempted to establish itself in Miracle Valley/Palominas, Arizona back in the 1980’s. “Shoot Out In Miracle Valley” by Daniels chronicles the saga.
Check out the assault on the “MOVE” compound fire / police bombing in Philadelphia 1985. Wild times.
Donald Trump to install new White House fence after Iran assassination threat
The Trump administration is working to install a permanent fence around Lafayette Square and additional fencing outside the White House amid heightened security concerns, including a reported Iranian assassination threat
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2227940/donald-trump-install-new-white
I have a better idea. How about a fence around the entire country that keeps Muhammedans out (as well as Pajeets) while kicking out the ones already here?
If we don’t something soon in major cities the most common boys name will be Muhammed just like in London!!!!
Muslims are patient. They will out-breed non Muslims. Once a majority, real persecution will begin, jizya tax, convert or die. Unless we recognize Islam as a terrorist organization, which it is, and outlaw it, they will conquer the U.S. from within.
That secure “bunker” below the under construction new ballroom that keeps getting hung up by activist judges would sure come in handy about now!
Imagine how much better off we would be as a nation if commercials like this replaced the pharmaceutical and lawyer ads amd trans “role models” we give our kids.
I grew up with men like this, and I miss them. They still exist, but are quietly going about their lives. My oldest son is one. His younger brother is not.
The shame is, WE have let it slip away….slowly at first, then light speed! Up to us to fix this.
The very early 1970s (70-73) were pretty nice, too, Vietnam notwithstanding. America was still enjoying its Apollo high atop the World, before the first oil shock. Nixon was still the most popular President ever.
It’s up to todays’ young generations to get strong, get nearer God, and rebuild their better world. It’s been done many times before throughout history.
The deeper past, and those left from it, can help show them the template.
MNN BREAKING…
* WITH PLATNER’S WITHDRAWAL, MAINE DEMOCRATS WILL NOW CHOOSE FROM AMONG OTHER POSSIBLE SENATE CANDIDATES, INCLUDING JORDAN WOOD, SHENNA BELLOWS, DAN KLEBAN AND VICE-FUHRER HIMMLER
My guess is the real Democrats in Maine will vote for “Vice-Fuhrer Himmler”! That’s how far left the party has gone!!!
A post of mine here from over a year ago. This REALLY paid off with their GARBAGE citizenship by birth decision, didn’t it?:
Roberts who was warned about (see below) was nominated by the son of a definitely CIA tool daddy Bush and Barrett was nominated by Donald who was obviously fooled into nominating her because she was a female (PC consideration) and a Catholic with seven children and would likely vote against Roe vs Wade, but for that single cause which should have been nullified LONG ago simply because it was based upon a FRAUD, a liberal who now votes with her fellow, female justices was installed on the SCOTUS.
The Deep State and CIA play the long game. Between the USAID’s “Rule of Law” technique, rule by unelected, partisan judges overriding elected officials, preventing populist candidates from running or even winning when they do, combined with compromise of SCOTUS, they were well prepared for any boat rocker POTUS who might come along.

Amy Coney Barrett ‘wept’ with her multiracial family after George Floyd death

Souter In Roberts’ Clothing
July 20, 2005
https://anncoulter.com/2005/07/20/souter-in-roberts-clothing3/
After pretending to consider various women and minorities for the Supreme Court these past few weeks, President Bush decided to disappoint all the groups he had just ginned up and nominate a white male.
So all we know about him for sure is that he can’t dance and he probably doesn’t know who Jay-Z is. Other than that, he is a blank slate. Tabula rasa. Big zippo. Nada. Oh, yeah … We also know he’s argued cases before the Supreme Court. Big deal; so has Larry Flynt’s attorney.
But unfortunately, other than that that, we don’t know much about John Roberts. Stealth nominees have never turned out to be a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Never. Not ever.
Since the announcement, court-watchers have been like the old Kremlinologists from Soviet days looking for clues as to what kind of justice Roberts will be.
[snip]
If the Senate were in Democrat hands, Roberts would be perfect. But why on earth would Bush waste a nomination on a person who is a complete blank slate when we have a majority in the Senate? We also have a majority in the House, state legislatures, state governorships, and have won five of the last seven presidential elections — seven of the last 10! [Because Bush was a neocon member of the UniParty – W]

Chief Justice John Roberts Worked With Norm Eisen (5:03)
Mike Benz
3 Apr 2025
Chief Justice John Roberts spent a week living at Norm Eisen’s 150-room palace in the Czech Republic where they “worked on American and European Rule of Law issues together.” Eisen was Ambassador 2011-2014. Roberts became Chief Justice in 2005. This was while Roberts ran SCOTUS.
This part in the above was merged from another post of mine at the time:

Popped up this morning. A reminder about where a few if us went. To many did not return .
Freedom is earned.
55.000+ of our HEROES did not return…
This guy was my POW bracelet, way back. I had read somewhere, it was his very first mission,
https://www.mu.iastate.edu/gold-star-hall-directory/honoree/jeffrey-krommenhoek
https://dpaa-mil.sites.crmforce.mil/dpaaProfile?id=a0Jt00000001UO5EAM
THANK YOU Aggiegirl For Wearing the POW Bracelet in HIS HONOR.
remember the protests to bring them home and Nixon did just that.
My husband is a Marine combat vet. Landed in Nam at 19 years old at the height of the Tet offensive. Still owns the watch he wore, bathed in the blood of his Brothers as they died in his arms. The tales he shares are horror. Those he does not share are so much worse.
My heart aches for the lost youth of so many of our young men and women.
We owe them more than we can repay, but at the very least we should do everything we can to save the country they gave so much for.
Need to ho give Hubby a hug now,
GIVE Him ANOTHER Hug for me, JUST Don’t Tell Him from Whom.
THX
SEMPER FI
Much appreciated.
