COVID ==== after COVID
Social Security —– after COVID
Still the same after did not go back
to prior.
So now you cannot go into a Social Security office and take care of business. You have to make an online appointment.

The online appointment is set up for September but will get back pay.
I can do this probably some people cannot wait for benefits.

Sad.
Things never go back to before once they change it.

I know so many people here attend church regularly, after seeing two amazing churches burn down in NY recently, it’s clear what is going on.

PLEASE not only up your security for the parishioners themselves, but also: your stunning and likely old beautiful historic church building that is a work of art as well. Do NOT allow your church to be set on fire !!

This is not just about burning down our churches, this is about destroying our history, those churches are the most precious thing in town for generations of people that got married there, baptized their babies there..

Please be aware and take the necessary steps.. and pass the word.

A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships. Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly. Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night. Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the U.S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves, who I am very disappointed with in that they have, until now, acted very professionally and smart. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Sounds right…

The interview video seems unambiguous.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/23/us/mn-lawmakers-killing-sentencing

I’ll bump this to tonight’s political thread

there is so much more to this story…none of it makes any sense.
there are so many unanswered and obvious questions.

lets start and make a list of such questions.

a. he was some kind of a state government employee doing some kind of political professional security work. He had uniforms, and a vehicle marked as a security vehicle. It is not clear how he bought a plastic mask to conceal his identity. He was at a home where two seemingly anonymous people to him he killed them both. What was the reason for this killing? a contract not renewed? an attempt to black mail or to hold hostage two people who might know more about the scale of money laundering in Minnesota. It looked like a professional hit. but then this is where it gets weird and impossible to reconcile
b. His whereabouts immediately after the shooting are known by police who dispatch two “squads”. One to the scene and the other…wait for it..the exact household where he was making his second assassination. The question remains: how did the police know to divert police to that other location. What did they know and when and how? Are the police involved in the money laundering corruption in Minnesota. Reflecting back on chauvin who worked with a known Mexican cartel owned money laundering strip club that was also moving big weight in cocaine…and we know how that turned out when his fellow night security contractor george Floyd was trying to pass 100 counterfeit bills while jacked on cocaine, fentanyl and other drugs, possibly meth. Who do they call, his former night club security contractor chauvin. An officer who is not assigned to that beat! He shows up to get the smacked out co conspirator off the street before the press start noticing things. before people start taking videos. before other police arrive to take store owners statementts about the attempts at passing counterfeit bills.

so it’s not a stretch to consider that maybe the corruption span across the police force in Minnesota regarding the larger corruption and money laundering. So was this man a hired assassin put up to the work then trapped by his own co conspirators, the police. This would explain how they knew where he would go next….that part has not explanation other than prior knowledge. There were there right as he arrived…Notice THAT quickness. That has not been deconstructed properly. it’s a timing thing. Homes several minutes apart…quite close. He does the first assassination, rides off to the next and his plans are spolied by cops waiting for him. How would they know to be there?

c. then we get into the history of this character. He was allegedly some kind of traveling missionary/pastor of some type. In his “spare time”” he goes to africa multiple times to spread the good word. or so that is how it is described. But there is problem with that. We cannot find any evidence whatsoever that he was doing any such preaching. There is no record of it. No photos, no videos, nothing. Yet, he is “managing” a non for profit where he is receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars each month from “donors”..you know for the good cause. Well, isn’t one part of doing that good work, showing it to your donors so they can share in the experience of doing some good in the world. Of course you would make photos, videos…you would do those little marketing clips and post them on a website…but we find none of that. So, the question then becomes…who were his donors? and what did he spend the money on?

one explanation is that this is how he was washing paid assasination or bag man money. He gets paid to do the dirty work…and no one questions it. He passes as some solo preacher bringing the good work to the tribes of africa. Yeah, no. Not buying it.

d. lastly we look to his escape plan. It doesn’t really look like he had any plans to leave. they look rushed in the moment. Like he never planned to leave…he had committed a sanctioned hit and it only dawns on him that he has been set up, because the police are waiting for him at the next hit. So he has to react fast and get his wife on the road and start moving fast. This is what it looks like to me. there was no sophistication that would show planning involved. He makes that decision only at the last moment when he realizes he is not being protected by the police. they spoil his last hit because that was always the plan…kill two people who were involved and possibly were going to sing to the FBI? maybe file a lawsuit or something because they were wanted out, or some part of it…maybe they were the liability and the other two were simply a staged hit developed to trap him with evidence that could only be collected while he was actually in the process of doing a killing…that holds up better than any evidence in court. Your honor, we see now that the police who are on the scene watch as he makes his way to the next attempted murder. This proves his was one of malice, and focused intent. Case shut..goes to prison for two life terms. Knows that if he talks about fight club they will get him in prison…same thing with chauvin..you’ll notice he never talks about the Mexican drug cartel owned and operated strip club that was moving big weight coke and fentanyl and meth and lots of money washing…and counterfeit operations. Chauvon doesn’t talk about fight club. he knows he can’t. They got him and he is trapped. He’ll never talk about it if he is careful. Same thing with this guy. he knows what actually happened. he can never talk about it. They would get him too in prison. Easily.

God Bless America

C&C News (2nd article re SAVE Act)

Excerpt:

Speaking of shots on goal, the House unleashed a torrent of passed bills yesterday, all including SAVE Act language, and at least one bill that could overcome the 60-vote requirement. The Hill reported, “House passes reconciliation framework for Pentagon boost, voting restrictions.”

Before we raise our hopes up too high, Senate Majority Leader John Thune recently forced a direct vote on the SAVE Act that lost 48-51. So we might not even have 50 votes supporting the SAVE Act, for Vice President JD Vance to break a tie on.

Worse, a few of the 48 votes in favor seem squishy, meaning that those Senators might flip if there were a realistic possibility the SAVE Act might actually pass.

Still, the House deserves credit. Unlike most of this term, it actually got a lot of work done yesterday— and is still trying to kick the SAVE Act into the Senate goal net…..

….That latter fact —state laws mirroring SAVE Act-style requirements— might be the quiet, buried lede of this entire debate. Three weeks ago, the Center for American Progress published an encouraging status update…

I am currently in Poland. I visited the Gdansk public library. From the outside, I saw a “pride” flag, the first such flag I’d seen anywhere in Poland. Turns out it is a feature of the American Corner where locals can come learn about the US, participate in English classes, and borrow English language materials, including a bunch of gay/queer books. Is this “pride” flag the best we have to offer? How about a US flag that represents ALL of the US, not a flag that represents an aberrant minority?

This discovery made me wonder who the US ambassador to Poland is. It’s Tom Rose. From the OFFICIAL US government website we learn, “Ambassador Rose lives in Estero, Florida and is the father to three sons and a granddaughter. ” Do we really have some wacko as ambassador or is this bio just poorly edited?

How I wish our country were better represented abroad.

141 years ago today, on July 23, 1885, Ulysses S. Grant died at 63.

Most people know him as the general who won the Civil War and the two term president on the fifty dollar bill. Almost nobody knows how his story actually ended, and it’s one of the most quietly heroic things in American history.

Start with the fact that “Ulysses S. Grant” was never even his name. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. When he got to West Point, a congressman filled out the paperwork wrong and wrote him down as Ulysses S. Grant. The S stood for nothing at all. Grant just shrugged and kept it for the rest of his life. Later, when he forced a Confederate fort to give up with no conditions, soldiers said the U.S. stood for “Unconditional Surrender.”

Here’s the strange thing though. Before the war, Grant was a failure at nearly everything he tried. He flopped at farming. He flopped at real estate. By his late thirties he was working as a clerk in his father’s leather goods store, hauling hides for his younger brothers. Then the war came, and the quiet clerk turned out to be one of the greatest military minds the country ever produced. He took Vicksburg. He ground down Lee. He accepted the surrender at Appomattox and, instead of gloating, let the Confederate soldiers keep their horses so they could plant crops. Then he won the White House twice.

So how does a man like that end up dying broke?

In 1884 Grant trusted his savings to a Wall Street firm run by a young hotshot named Ferdinand Ward, basically the Bernie Madoff of his day. Ward was running a con. When it collapsed, Grant lost everything. He was so wiped out that he had to borrow money just to cover his household, and he handed over his war trophies and swords to pay a debt. The most famous soldier in America was suddenly poor.

Then it got worse. Doctors found throat cancer. Grant had smoked as many as twenty cigars a day, a habit the public actually fed. After his victories, admirers mailed him cigars by the thousands, and it very likely killed him.

Now here is the part that gives me chills.

Grant knew he was dying, and he knew he was leaving his wife Julia with nothing. So a man in constant pain, throat closing up, some days unable to speak above a whisper, sat down to write his memoirs and out earn death itself. Mark Twain, who admired him, offered him a stunning book deal, far better than anything normal authors got. Grant took it and went to work.

He wrote something like three hundred thousand words in about a year while cancer ate his throat. On the days he couldn’t talk, he wrote on slips of paper. Witnesses said the pain was constant. He kept going anyway. He finished the manuscript just days before he died.

And it worked. The memoirs became one of the best selling books of the century and are still considered maybe the finest memoir ever written by an American president. The royalties sent to Julia came to roughly four hundred fifty thousand dollars, an enormous fortune then, enough that she never had to worry about money again. He couldn’t win the money back on Wall Street, so he wrote his way out and crossed the finish line with almost nothing to spare.

When he died, the country stopped. Around a million and a half people lined the streets of New York for his funeral, the largest the city had ever seen. And look at who carried him. His pallbearers included Union generals and Confederate generals, side by side. One of them, Simon Bolivar Buckner, was the very man who had surrendered to Grant at Fort Donelson decades earlier. He came to Grant’s sickbed near the end, two old enemies making peace, and then helped carry him to his grave.

That grave became Grant’s Tomb in New York, the largest mausoleum in North America.

A failed store clerk who saved the Union, lost everything to a con man, and then, dying and in agony, wrote a masterpiece to protect his wife.

141 years ago today. They really don’t make them like that anymore.

Blimey, the DS must be panicking about the growing calls for legislation on voter ID, after the NJ revelations of the impossible happening once again, along with the growing crisis in Democrat Party, eaten from the inside by the DSA.

Earlier I posted on an article (and linked it from WGN)…the woman in the article had been here since 2007. She is worried about losing her job and not being able to pay her car note, mortgage or get her kid(s) transitioned to college.

The last I read, Americans, real Americans, are enduring wage stagnation. Inflation. Limited job availability. Americans have been reported to be using their credit cards for food and other necessities that they had not done in the past. Health care is out of control.

This got to stop. They have the weekend to make arrangements. Yet, apparently there is another court date to justify the delay. They knew it would not last forever…(like when my family moved to the Canal Zone, it ended and we were told it would, way ahead of time, and prepared accordingly). It is high time adults took responsibility for themselves and their families.

Using a state dept travel advisory is bogus.

This was a good move by Trump. A friend got involved in an effort to slow a railroading effort to shove a data center approval in her city.

Many people were for it because the “economic development” folks promised the moon to her smaller rural town that was suffering from the loss of several large industries.

Despite cautious support for the idea, it was sleazy dealings all across the board by the city. People were becoming aware that perhaps the gomers on the city commission were not competent to negotiate a fair deal for their citizens.

This deal by Trump will help prevent these AI centers from targeting and completely screwing towns like this, that don’t have the money or mojo to deal with the AI shysters.

Another Migrant Loser blames “the system”

Ethiopian migrant ‘murdered’ three people over parking row because he ‘hated the American system’

Tsegaab Binessu was arrested in Virginia, Minnesota on Monday after allegedly fatally shooting Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43, in St Paul.

According to a criminal complaint, the Ethiopian had become embroiled in an argument with the group – who worked at his apartment complex – over his $65 (£48.60) per month parking garage contract.

Following his arrest, Mr Binessu “complained about and said he hated the American system” and blamed the country for destroying his family life, the complaint noted.

The migrant is said to have told police that he has unsuccessfully tried to bring his wife and children over from Ethiopia for several years after obtaining a US passport and Social Security card.

He allegedly told detectives the strict immigration process had led to the end of his marriage and separation from his children.

The criminal complaint notes that he claimed to have left his job as a truck driver because of stress caused by the process.

“Binessu believes he was treated unfairly because he is black and an immigrant,” officers wrote.

The suspected triple murderer is believed to have lived in the apartment complex for eight years, however, it is unknown when he entered the US.
