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.
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.
Day 228 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.
Amen!

Can you vote when you’re abroad?
Yes…Ever since the Nineteenth Amendment 🙂
George was abroad once.
Then he had one of those operations!
Yes. My wife and I voted while living as Expats in Turkey.
Easily done by visiting the US Embassy or by applying for an absentee ballot in your “Tax Home of Record” in the US.
Allot of ID documents required using either route. At the time it was passport stamped by US Embassy and Turkish Customs as well as out Expat Residency paper work. Not sure what is required to day.
WITH DEFERENCE TO WORDMAN:
>Yes…Ever since the Nineteenth Amendment>
Before the 19th Amendment, it was only vote by male 🙂
“USSR = Abandoned.”
“Socialism/Communism = DOESN’T WORK.”

US military took down approximately 100 suspected cartel drones at southern border in August

Are those drones surveillance or smuggling?
Yes.
A father and kids think they spotted Mitch McConnell in a woodsy area in Ohio, and posted a video. Mitch can be seen near the end of the video:
Oooops….my bad. It’s not Mitch….it’s only Bigfoot.
Are you sure? Looks like Maxine Waters to me!
I haven’t heard from Mad Maxine in a while.
Is she visiting Mitch and doesn’t have time to get into anyone’s face?
And boy oh boy does she have the face to do it. When Maxine was born, the doctor handed her to her mother and said, “Here, you can slap her.”
U.S. STRIKES KILLED IRANIAN PILOTS, NAVY AND IRGC PERSONNEL
Iranian losses from the U.S. strikes on southern Iran two nights ago reportedly include:
• 3 Iranian Air Force pilots
• 6 Artesh Navy personnel
• 4 IRGC members
Among the IRGC dead were two Aerospace Force personnel, including one officer reportedly holding the rank of general.
The four IRGC members were killed in Kermanshah — a major hub for Iran’s missile forces — raising the likelihood that they were connected to missile operations at the time of the strikes.
The U.S. didn’t just hit infrastructure. It appears to have hit personnel directly involved in Iran’s military capabilities.

“An Amazon worker is seen peddling the new Amazon’s cargo bikes in Los Angeles …
But these new vehicles, where the worker peddles, are able to save Amazon money. Amazon can save up to $400 per month on fuel costs per vehicle by implementing these
The drivers typically make $15-$20 an hour on average peddling making deliveries. The peddling is electric motor assisted”

Looks neat. Good for the flat lands.
A decade or so ago, a peddle cabby convinced me to hire her as my personal driver after work hours, whenever I was in Austin TX for business. She was a nursing student. No motor, and Austin has hills.
She loved doing it, and was always studying when I came out of wherever she took me.
Fascinating wrong word for the Amazon biker. Peddling is he is selling them. Pedaling is he is using them. Maybe it was a dastardly spell check
So I read it right! I was wondering how Amazon would react to somebody selling their property.
But then it was just about “saving” money by forcing workers to replace motors.
I also completely misunderstood what was happening until I read Brant’s clarification.
As you’re writing, autocorrect changes, typos, and misplaced words can sneak into your narrative. We have all experienced the embarrassment of sending a report or email — and later finding out that it contained a typo or grammatical error.
Proofreading your own writing is notoriously difficult. Despite our best efforts, errors often linger. But why? Why is it hard to proofread your own writing? It’s because of the neat trick your brain has for handling complex processes such as writing. This can be a huge benefit for us as we navigate a challenging world, but it comes with a downside.

And, to understand how Communism always fails, look at the “USSR” experiment. Which was … abandoned(!!), without a shot being fired.
If anyone could have made Communism work, they would have. It was not for lack of trying.
And, the CCP? Won’t be long now.
The CCP abandoned communism many years ago when they became a completely state run fascist system of capitalism which is where the US is rapidly evolving into as well.

Can We Throw Off the Yoke of Government?
Government—and those who feed off it—slowly but inevitably become our masters.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/09/can-we-throw-off-the-yoke-of-government/
Opening paragraph:
In June 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, America was born. In 1789, its entire payroll reportedly fit on a single ledger page, consisting mainly of customs officers, marshals, postmasters, and clerks. By 1800, the federal civilian workforce had grown to 125 people. By 1901, it had reached 231,000, including the Post Office. Today, the federal civilian workforce numbers approximately 2.7 million. Add another 1.7 to 2 million contractual employees, and the number is around 4.5 million—and this doesn’t count anyone in uniform.
Closing paragraph:
Eventually we wound up with 25 million government employees, millions more dependent upon government contracts, and an enormous system whose beneficiaries have a manifest interest in preserving it. The yoke was built slowly, by people who believed they were doing good. But a burden is no lighter just because it was created with good intentions. The weight of that yoke is felt not in Washington but by the citizens who fund it and suffer the other losses that an inefficient government inevitably imparts. If Americans want a freer and more prosperous future, they will have to confront a difficult reality: reducing government means changing the incentives of millions who now depend upon it. Before we can throw off the yoke, we must recognize how heavy it has become and accept the necessity to address it. Otherwise, government—and those who feed off it—slowly but inevitably become our masters.
the only way we will ever throw that yoke off, at this point, is if we withdraw consent and confront this “government.”
we are past the point of voting and 1st amendment and what not. and most of us intuitively know it, but are rightly hesitant for what must come next. it is not something we should desire or long for.
That will be extremely difficult, the government has all the resources and the capability to spy and stop any revolution or insurrection before it can ever organize to even start. You also need a leader with enough celebrity, political power and money. It will be hard to find that person.
wholeheartedly agree
We already have one in the White House.
Trump cannot be that person yet. He is bound by his oath of office and unlike Biden will never break that oath. Once out of office he could lead considerable opposition. The Democrats know this which is why they are already telling us they will arrest Trump, his Cabinet, aides and supporters for unspecified crimes and corruption. They have nothing but are already building their case of lies.

Still wallowing in the peaceful scenes from Wisconsin’s “Northwoods”…family thinks we should have stayed longer…while I agree, I think it was enough to be ‘longing for more’ and planning next years trip!
Still have memories of summer vacation/ fishing trips to Wisconsin and MN lakes.
Stayed in cabins, then we got campers.
Every weekend we would travel with the cars and campers heading north on Friday then heading back south on Sunday, my dad would comment on all the $$$ leaving IL every week.
Favorite spot was a campground in McFarland on Lake Waubesa, great fishing

House Cancels Two Weeks Of Work After Brief Return
https://dailycaller.com/2026/09/03/house-cancels-last-two-weeks-september/
House leadership announced Thursday the legislative session for the final two weeks of September would be cancelled without resolving debt or mass surveillance issues.
“I’ll point out that there’s almost 600 pieces of that landmark legislation that are still sitting over in the other chamber in the Senate. So, we need to get more and more of that done through both chambers so we can get them to the President’s desk. This Congress has done phenomenal work and the members are wrestling a lot of different priorities right now,” Johnson said.
What is going on in the Senate? Is Thune the only problem?
Thune is the puppet propped up to be the face of the Problem Caucus.
“Is Thune the only problem?”
No. Mitch McConnell is dead and stiff so they can no longer wheel him into the chamber to vote.
I think Mitch is brain dead but being kept alive on life support. Hiding a corpse and falsifying death records is very hard to do and very illegal, even for the people with Mitch’s teams political power.
““Is Thune the only problem?””
The real problem is the republicans in congress… They can remove Thune anytime they so choose…
But they, like Thune, are Trump haters and agree with what Thune is doing to block Presiden’t Trump’s appointments, plans, and policies.
I agree, they can remove not only Thune at anytime but also the Senate parliamentarian. Thune and the Senate parliamentarian are kept to keep the focus and anger off the rest of the do nothing Senators.

Missouri Attorney General Seeks Relief from SCOTUS After State Court Overturns Congressional Map AFTER PRIMARIES! An Unprecedented Ruling!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/09/missouri-attorney-general-seeks-relief-scotus-after-state/
The wacky Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday threw out the state’s new congressional map that favored the GOP and eliminated one Democrat seat to Congress.
According to the ruling, the new map will only go into effect in 2028 if voters approve it during the 2026 midterms.
Missouri already held primaries! So Missouri Candidates have to figure out which district they are running in – after they already won their primary! This is insane!

Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis.
Trump Admin Asks Supreme Court to Restore Mail-Ballot Rules Before Midterms
https://townhall.com/news/scott-mcclallen/2026/09/03/trump-admin-asks-supreme-court-to-restore-mail-ballot-rules-before-midterms-n2682455
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow restrictions on mail-in ballots in an attempt to prevent illegal aliens from voting in the November midterm elections.
The Supreme court needs to put in their opinion ‘there will be no more stays on this issue, it is to close to the election, any stays will are automatically overturned”. We just saw this same crap in Missouri, changing the rules after the primaries and to close to the election just causing voting chaos. It has to end now.
scotus has already ruled on this before; team trump could simply refer to that and refuse to comply with the lower courts BS
The judge is nitpicking different legal points so it is not the same as the overturned ruling. The judge will continue to do this until it is to late to be implemented for the midterms. The Supreme Court has to say this is the final ruling, and all other rulings will be illegal and unenforceable or it will continue.

Philippine politics is a soap opera unto itself. The way the President, Vice President and the Senators are elected is just nuts. It’s their system though.
Meanwhile all the areas that had countless millions spent on flood control projects in the years past are underwater once again and the people are getting a clear idea of how their money has been stolen.

Fortunately they don’t have those here.
It’s a most wonderful thing that they were given their independence and are no longer a US Territory.
Yep.
We are calling on President Donald J. Trump to end the ESTA visa program between the United States and Ireland.
We are concerned that Ireland has become a destination for extremist organizations, and that extremist actors may be using lawful channels to enter and reside in the country.
We believe this situation poses a national security risk to the United States. Recent reports and warnings have raised questions about oversight and screening, particularly regarding individuals who may later obtain Irish passports.
These concerns have grown increasingly urgent and require immediate review and action.
Next week, we will hold meetings in the United States to highlight these issues and advocate for stronger safeguards. We will also promote Reclaim Ireland, the party we support. In addition, we will deliver a letter from a whistleblower within the prison service regarding a homicide connected to Portlaoise (Portage) Prison.
I will also be handing over a letter explaining how Irish citizens were the ones behind election interference in Romania.
We further urge the Irish government to tighten identity verification and background checks.
This year alone, Ireland has issued more than one million passports, and we are concerned that in some cases the full backgrounds and identities of applicants may not be adequately established. Ireland’s current approach is, in our view, creating serious security risks.

The West including the United States supplies money, weapons, targeting data to Ukraine to blow up refineries in Russia which causes high energy prices in the United States. How do we know this? Scott Bessent tells us so:
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy facilities were one reason for rising global energy prices, citing those attacks before mentioning the war against Iran when asked about the elevated cost of living in the U.S,” Bloomberg reports.
Said Bessent: “We are going through an energy shock right now, due to both the war in Ukraine, because Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products — so that is creating upward price pressure on a global basis — and then the conflict in Iran.”

Reuters reports that US retail diesel hit a record on Thursday as the Gulf disruption and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries tightened distillate supply, with East Coast stocks at a record low ahead of the harvest and heating seasons (Reuters).

Garbage “news.” Minor strikes on Russian refineries have nothing to do with simple GREED.
Why does the price go up? Because it CAN.
Precisely!
A drone shot down somewhere cannot make your gasoline price go up 8 hours later!
Unless you have people using it as an excuse to raise prices!
shortages are what cause the price to go up.
and diesel is in short supply.
Actually, “no, it isn’t.”
Very simply, you always try to get the highest price for something that you can get. Oil companies get together and decide that the price they can get for diesel could be higher, and so it is. “Global political turmoil” is as good an excuse as any. Truckers have to buy the stuff.
I seen on Hal Turner Radio Show price of diesel over $ 6 in New Jersey……also STRATEGIC RESERVE is 40 yrs low…. not good sign…
i posted the link just a couple days ago, to the fedgovs own site showing the heavy crude that makes diesel is at multi-decade lows, and exports to other suffering countries was way up, but ok…
i will ask what i have asked before, here, then: if that is so, why doesn’t trump cut to the chase and implement price controls?
this sudden flare up of leftist blame and gaslighting tactics is pure theater to try and deflect away responsibility from the utter disaster that is the iran forever war. we have really only barely begun to feel the consequences of that decision. now that its not going well, we have shifted the screeching from how important it is for this phantom menace to be “defeated” and its our pleasure to “sacrifice” a few cents on gas – to now blaming the oil co’s… because we KNOW that its going to take a heavy toll.
sorry, but blame resides with those who decided to start and CONTINUE this idiocy.
Yes, Russia shutting down ALL diesel fuel exports in July has had absolutely no bearing on the world wide supply of diesel and of course, supply and demand has nothing to do with prices…
Agree. The quick upon prices of gas is pure greed on the sellers part. It never drops that fast when the prices go down and the prices always stop at a higher low for a while before moving further down. The other parts of high gas prices are because of taxes on the gasoline from every state at whatever level of greed there is in each state. The oil and gas markets move on future predictability and then they figure out how to make the most profit they can using the uncertainty of the market. Imo
It’s Labor Day weekend and so fuel prices go up. It’s as predictable as the sun rising. If they don’t dip in a couple of weeks, then it’s politics.
And we are exporting record amounts to Europe.
American farmers are paying the price to support Europe after Europe destroyed their own fuel supply.
It really does seem to me to be greed. However, you can pump more crude and all that, but what if the refining capacity can’t take in the extra oil? Maybe export more of it? It seems like we do have a long term problem with refining. I saw news of a build of a new refinery where it was the first in decades. Many refineries have been shut down. For how important that is, I don’t see a lot of news about that. Some, but not equal to the problem.
BS … not a single thing regarding economic fundamentals has changed between December 2019 and today, except a better organized resistance to the efforts of the President using control over distribution to increase cost at point of service as part of their destructive resistance.
It collusion and price gouging … Captain of Finance and Industry are getting away with it.
As an aside: I find it very(!) interesting to watch the unconventional warfare tactics now being used against Iran. I don’t think that the madmen expected this.
They are suicidal – looking forward to those 72 vestal virgins – and absolutely sociopathic. Killing their own people by the tens of thousands. But, it takes lots of money to be a mass murderer, and this is precisely where and how they are now being attacked.
“American boots on the ground?” They could turn that into Iwo Jima in no time, and no doubt that’s what they have been expecting to do. But they don’t have an answer for what is happening to them now.
Trump has ultimate military power at his command. He need only utter the word. “Bomb them off the planet! Sir! Yes, Sir!!” But he is not doing that. At least, not yet . . .
Very(!) interesting.

“Norway’s Oil Fund Proposes Cutting US Treasury Holdings, Reversing Course From April”
https://thedeepdive.ca/norways-oil-fund-proposes-cutting-us-treasury-holdings-reversing-course-from-april/
Cool story. Who cares.
we all will as the world cuts its treasury balances.
Yeah, except we won’t.
dream on…
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund currently holds about $215 billion in U.S. Treasuries.
Cut and paste from AI.
not sure where that sits as far as ranking, but i would guess its not huge. they are also unlikely to get rid of it all.
the issue is aggregation of that across many nations as they all start to face their own economic crises, and as we are seeing across at least a dozen large holdings right now. readyandable’s confidence aside, the result will be rapid inflation as the debt accelerates and less people need/want to own dollars.
there is a credible theory that this is the intention of the fedgov, to inflate the debt away before it results in crisis. it is a viable method of getting rid of the debt ratio, assuming growth remains solid (it seems to be so far) and gov spending slows (no chance), and may even result in more onshoring… but it will not be pleasant for the people.

Norway–U.S. LNG Sales After Nord Stream Sabotage
“Following the September 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, Europe lost a major direct supply route from Russia, triggering a sharp shift in energy sourcing. This disruption accelerated the continent’s reliance on LNG imports and alternative suppliers, including Norway and the United States.
Impact of the Sabotage
The explosions in the Baltic Sea damaged key Russian gas infrastructure, halting gas flows to Germany and other EU countries. The incident also released a record amount of methane into the atmosphere. With Russia’s gas exports cut off, Europe sought to diversify its supply chain, increasing purchases of LNG from multiple sources.
Norway’s Role
Norway stepped up production and exports to fill the gap. In 2024, Norwegian natural gas output reached a record 124 billion cubic meters (Bcm), surpassing the 2022 record. The country became Europe’s largest gas supplier after the Nord Stream disruption, exporting via both pipeline and LNG. Norway’s Arctic Hammerfest LNG plant became a key delivery point, and its gas also flowed to EU markets via pipelines to Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, and the UK.
.
U.S. LNG Surge
The United States, already a major LNG exporter, expanded its role in the crisis.” …….

The Commando is part of the naval contribution to the Norwegian Armed Forces Intervention Force, and the command’s personnel have taken part in operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Baltic states and Mediterranean…”

I am going to post a video, of a Muslim who died … for 20 minutes and meet Jesus … and then Jesus put him back in his body. And this man, shared how he met Jesus, and knew Jesus was GOD (and died for our sins)…
This man, stayed true to what he experienced … and his family, wife, kids, the muslim community rejected him, he LOST everything.
I am posting this so many other Muslim’s can see his video. I was praying for way to change Muslim’s over to Jesus. It might help someone.
My experience is different from him, I died too, found Jesus, … but a little later LOST EVERYTHING too, in American Society. That started about 50 years ago for me.
So this Muslim also died, came back experiencing Jesus, and everybody he lived with rejected him, same as me. Most ego’s have not experienced this experience YET. Book knowledge is different from Spirit Experience.

“Oh golly gee. Absolutely devastating!” So say the pro abortionists.
Monsters, all of them.
A sane society would hang them in the public square. Instead of deterrence via punishment, our legal system pushes imitation via lack thereof.
Calling for public hangings is violent, inflammatory rhetoric. It has no place in this discussion.
i disagree.
a failing republic requires blunt, difficult conversations on what we should do as a society, if we want to restore it.
healthy /vibrant society should not be afraid of discussion on any topic…..MV
I think it is very appropriate for this discussion.

worse than voting, these same types of psychotic female nutz have taken over many state supreme courts, governor’s offices, and legislative seats.
It’s not black women and hispanic women that want the right to murder their kids at any time for any reason. It’s only white women. These broads are beyond fixing. If you showed them crime scene photos, they would cheer in celebration. These same idiots cry a river when a polar bear cub dies in the wild naturally. Their minds are bent into a pretzel and many of them are on psychotropic drugs which makes it worse.
Guaranteed — if “protesters” in support of these children were standing outside the courthouse, with this picture on signs, those “protesters” would be jeered and shoved / assaulted and removed as a disturbance to the peace, possibly even arrested.
Next up…man who thinks he is a woman murders his children and blames it on post partum blues. Will he get the same love as the child murderer Crouch?
Vladimir Putin is the only “grown-up” in this room.
NATO has been war-planning WW3 for decades, adding countries right up to their border on every available side, and stockpiling them with troops. They thought that they could accomplish their goals by proxy, until Putin’s well-prepared military force “schooled” them.
But still they think: “Just keep poking The Bear … Just keep poking The Bear.” Eventually, surely, he will turn into the excuse that all of us have been waiting for!!
Maybe, though, they forgot about “Victory Day.” And, the “Ghost Regiment.” You see, Russia remembers what all the rest of them forgot. Because Russia suffered far more than any of the rest of them did – and, they did it in Winter. (You are bleeding to death, and freezing to death, both at the same time.)
As we watch this European “Ship of Fools” set sail towards “Chapter 3,” our one true hope for Peace is that Putin remembers.
Even he carries a black-and-white photograph of a lost family member when the “Regiment” marches. His own father suffered grievously. So, he does.
B-E-W-A-R-E!!! Even as the UK now tells its military to stop doing training exercises, every Russian undergoes mandatory military training. Every opponent that Russia has ever faced, particularly including Adolf Hitler, underestimated them.
I wonder: is Warsh convincing the committee, or is the committee convincing him?

A second round of letters notifies individuals that their calls with Sen. Louise Lucas were tapped
The FBI and the Department of Justice have once again notified individuals in Virginia politics that their phone calls with state Sen. Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth, were tapped. This is the second notification this year about intercepted calls to Lucas.
https://www.virginiascope.com/a-second-round-of-letters-notifies-individuals-that-their-calls-with-sen-louise-lucas-were-tapped/
So instead of having Maria Bartiromo do a segment on election fraud and the ChiComms, how about having the DOJ and FBI do something about it? I think they report to Trump (on paper anyway). Ditto for deep-state weaponization, ditto for domestic terrorist groups. They know exactly how these elections from dog catcher through President are being gamed, yet very little has been done from a law enforcement perspective. Lots of theater, but what’s been fixed and who’s been prosecuted. You don’t steal 20M+ votes with 100 people involved. This was well coordinated and very well protected.
If Trump thinks he’s gonna do some emergency election thing in October, he’s dreaming. He’ll get as far with that as he got with Mike Pence stopping Biden from being sworn in.

ENJOYED ” EVERY Drop ” with my morning Coffee
JMO.
Canada’s Mark Carney is taking up the leadership position for the “new, middle-power world order.”
It wouldn’t be a surprise to find King Charles hiding behind the curtain pulling the strings of the “new, middle-power world order.”
Some haven’t heard of the “middle-power world order.”
Just think of them as previous American allies who have developed TDS (Trump derangement syndrome), aka Canada, UK, France, Italy, etc.
The reason they are mad at him is because he is calling them out as NATO deadbeats and is asking for MAGA / America First reciprocal trade agreements ……. balanced as needed with tariffs.
Oh, Charles is also mad at him because, when President Trump came into office, he exposed the “Big New Green Deal” as a scam and pulled the USA out of it.
UC, King Charles’ only “career” for years, while prince, was supporting and promoting the “Big New Green Deal” scam.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
I actually doubt that “King” Chuckles is long for this world…the clot shot that took out his mother also got him, Princess Kate, and Sarah Ferguson! (Probably all administered from the same batch?)
So the big question is whether William will carry on in his father’s footsteps or will he revert back to the policies of his grandmother? For all her faults, she did have a strong faith, and an immovable sense of duty. Her children, however, especially Charles and Andrew, are wretched humans with a sense of entitlement and arrogance that far exceeds their intelligence or natural abilities. Anne seems a decent sort and Edward is probably the most “normal” of all of them but the whole family is a mess and maybe it’s time for the monarchy, and the “empire” to finally fold!!
vikingmom,
Thanks for the comment.
Don’t count the King out yet. He has been moving and shaking Canada for the past few years.
He has a bad case of the limey version of TDS.
Canada’s Mark Carney is a hardcore subject of King Charles of UK, purposely embedded into Canada to be Charles’ revenge attack dog against President Trump.
Carney’s loyalty lies with the UK, not with Canada. The Canadian’s economy is being destroyed as the result of Carney’s actions scripted by King Charles.
Carney assumed the duties of PM of Canada on March 14, 2025.
However, here is his citizenship history since 1980:
Republic of Ireland (1980s–2025) ….. history as part of UK.
United Kingdom (2018–2025)
Consider also that Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
Carney has taken his orders from Charles for years.

One guy held out. Mistrial.
BREAKING UPDATE: Judge Declares MISTRIAL After He Gets Into Argument with Clancy Defense Attorney Over One ‘Holdout’ (VIDEO) * The Gateway Pundit * by Cristina Laila
It’s been stayed for an hour while defense appeals the mistrial order. He wants to know if there was unanimous verdict on any charges. Judge said no, but allowed a brief stay of the entry of a mistrial order for an appeal.
The holdout heldout so there could not be some sort of double jeopardy action. This way the state must decide to go again or drop all charges. Throwing a fastball right at the state.
Yup. Not want the state wants, I’m certain.
The trial judge was smart enough to allow the mistrial order to be appealed. It’s the sort of issue a trial judge wants to kick upstairs so he’s not there all alone with his order.
Defense wanted a full day, but judge would not require this jury to come back in on a Saturday. Gave defense one hour.
If the jury was unanimous on some charges, i.e., first degree murder, then she could not be re-tried on that charge. If they were not unanimous on second degree murder or manslaughter, she could still be re-tried on those charges.
Thanks for explanation.
OK. I guess we’ll see. That guy will be the big interview tonight if the stay is denied.
He might also be hounded by the Pink Brigade that lined the street this morning to cheer on Lindsay Clancy as her car drove by.
I think our puppet minister is rivalling the poison dwarf, for dispensing pearls of military wisdom.
Burnham Tzu: make sure monies are spent on propping up corrupt regimes, not your own armies training needs. This is the path to ultimate victory.
BREAKING!
Judge was going to declare mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case. Her lawyer wanted to know if the jury was unanimous on any charge, because a re-trial would be double jeopardy on that charge. Prosecutor objected.
Judge said no to defense request, but gave Clancy’s lawyer one hour to appeal for a stay of the mistrial order.
If the appeals court grants the stay, the trial continues until the issue of whether the jury votes on any charge were unanimous and double jeopardy bars re-trial. The jury stays empaneled, and has to keep deliberations secret.
If the stay is denied, then there is a mistrial and re-trial on all charges in front of a new jury.
Speculation is that he 11-1 vote is for not guilty by reason of insanity, but one juror is holding out for some kind of guilty verdict. God bless the man who is standing up for three little kids.
This one guy is trying to make sure that she doesn’t get a walk. The other two guys bailed as did all the women. Defense probably think this guy lied to get on the jury.
Possible. And then there might also be someone who lied to get on the jury who, no matter what thee evidence was, intended find her not guilty by reason of insanity.
Could be. But the defense would not be the ones filing the motion if the guy was a spoiler in their direction.
Very true. I just meant that there might also be jurors who went in with a pro-Lindsay mindset who are part of the eleven. We don’t know how objective those eleven really are because they’re not the issue.
Would like to see a poll of the jury on each count. Probably won’t happen.
Yes, so would I. That’s what the defense wanted, but judge wouldn’t allow, and didn’t have to allow.
If they wore pink attire on any given day, then yeah, that might point to a pro-Lindsay mindset.
It’s clear jurors were watching the news. Some of them wore pink to the first day of deliberations.
Jury should have been sequestered. But hindsight is….
Outrageous.
Flagrant jury intimidation going on.
He’s entitled to his opinion and position. Mistrial.
Regardless of how the mistrial appeal goes, this man will no doubt be hounded by packs of shrieking harpies in pink tees and pussy hats.
Guy has guts.
Perhaps they’ll select a more demographically representative jury next time. I’d love to hear the jet engine screech of the Karen’s, if it had nine men on it!
Two of the men capitulated. 2/3 is not a good sign.
