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 240 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.
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.
🤣🤣🤣
I take it from the emojis you are trying to not just disagree, but ridicule the statement. Do I understand you correctly. This is not the first time you have left emojis without offering any explanation. Would you care to elaborate?
The promises he made (Russia – Ukraine, Epstein, inflation, gas, no more forever wars, etc.) and what he’s done in actuality. I voted for him three times. You post this same drivel every day, but where is the critical analysis? “Jupiter through the asteroid belt,” what does that even mean? Ask yourself, cui bono? Unless a force majeure occurs, this unjust and absurd war with Iran to support Israel (while Israel kills Christians in Lebanon) is going to result in a blue sweep in the midterms (not that it matters anyway, because the swamp will never be trained and it is, in fact, a Uniparty heavily leveraged by AIPAC).
This, my emojis when I see your daily post and others who post Biblical passages in one post but follow in another that they want Iran wiped off the map. I served multiple combat tours with USMC in the AO, so I am by no means pro-Iran. And we’re patting for all of it.
Cui bono?
Full of absurd statements. Your reason for Iran bombing is regurgitated silliness and it causing election losses in a midterm election might be even sillier.
They always make a point of saying they voted for Trump three times “but” … so tiresome.
It’s not me, Looks like a second Jake has shown up.
Apologies for the typos in last paragraph:
– thus, vice this
– paying, vice patting
You could have written all in French, “mon ami”. 🥸
🤣😂😆😁
I see that you are all in full force here today….
What happened? Your substack, your influencers are not having the audience you were expecting?
It’s OK that you changed your mind about President Trump, but you’re not going to influence us.
Admin we only need one jake please
The “Jake”, who just wrote the snarky comment in reply to “CountryDoc”, has been blocked for violating Treehouse guidelines.
You’re right, ONE Jake is enough! 🤣
TY for all you and the crew do ..
huggs
😘
And yet you culturally appropriate a Jewish name
You do you but you’re also looking through a cracked glass. Trump has done more than any president since JFK besides maybe Reagan to keep America on course as a free nation and uphold our Constitution. He’s not perfect as no one is, but he’s better than anyone else we have available to lead and he plainly loves America and Americans which is a huge difference from any politician on the left and most of them on the right. As far as forever wars, he’s not engaging in any. Iran was and is a threat to the USA and other countries if they keep their radical leadership. Getting that mess contained is a job that should have been done a long time ago, Israel or no Israel. Hating the Jews is not my thing and they have given much to the world. I also don’t believe they have committed the heinous continuing crimes so many accuse them of. I have a friend who has done medical missionary work in the ME and there are many actions of mercy and charity Israel has accomplished. They fight for their existence every day. Are there some Israelis who are bad? Yes. Is their leadership wrong and power hungry at times? Yes. So is nearly every other country in the world. So rant and rave as is your right, but don’t expect others to completely agree with you here. Much of your rant is trending the false hysteria line. IMO.
Elevating and respecting Muslim difficulty with Israel’s security needs is a sign of approaching antisemitic thought. Even good Christians are guilty of this. Just because some of Jewish blood are no better than their enemies in some respects does not negate Israel’s inheritance of the Land deeded to her by the Almighty. If God doesn’t save His ancient people then neither will He save us.
Regretting your vote?
Could someone pass the eye bleach, please?
Doc, just my opinion instead of posting those two long posts (I know you post them in memory of Dutchman), you could summarize them with the one you posted yesterday, and post this one daily:
“CountryDoc
September 15, 2026 7:05 am
These threads get peppered with, Trump “coulda shoulda woulda” comments. What spare energy or priorities did you see him wasting at any point in this presidential term. Who do you want as president instead of Donald Trump?
Every conservative person giving negative comments toward Donald Trump needs to do a quick and thorough self assessment of their own character, their own work ethic, their own commitment to this country and to this president.
Let us quit worrying about our reputation and be like Marco Rubio — support the man and lay down your life daily along side him — first for the Lord, then for the this great Nation that God has blessed us with through the sacrifice of others.
None of the negative armchair quarterbacks can name one person who could have accomplished what Donald Trump has — at any level. That is not emotion driven speculation — that is reasoned tabulation and reviewing data constantly
Our government is a constitutional republic. We the People have the power. We are not using it.
The signers of the Declaration pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for this country.
Which one of us here wants to step forward and show a greater commitment to this country by those measures — than Donald J Trump?
I still say our president fights harder and more consistently and tirelessly against 10 times more resistance than any other president. — to a miraculous degree.
If each of us in the 81+ million conservative population of this nation would give one tenth of the support they do criticizing him toward helping, then you could not stop the growth, morale, and productivity of this nation.”
A lot of people do not read long posts.
Maybe just post new stuff to keep treepers informed?
was saying that to doc ..
but ty all for your time 🙂

Reports released today.
‘Hundreds’ of buildings, ‘dozens’ of aircraft destroyed or damaged during Iran ops: DoD IG – Breaking Defense
Lead Inspector General Report April 1-June 30,2026
Yep! It’s not looking good. If the new “Rules of War” are so restrictive that you cannot destroy your enemy today like we did to Berlin, Tokyo, Dresden, Hamburg and Hanoi then what are we doing starting a war we can’t finish. We can’t even legally bomb the Neanderthal Houthis effectively because of possible civilian casualties. We’re limited to playing Wack-a-Mole with strikes on trucks and they have lots of trucks hidden in caves.
Many reports are that they have some pretty serious
AD technology. Same with Iran.
The WWII philosophy of bomb..bomb..bomb
should be gone like the dinosaurs 🦕
Some countries learned from WWII.
Building air defense is biggest priority.
At the end of articles both the Inspector General and the
Congressional Budget Report lists the number of our equipment
lost. That doesn’t include the amount of equipment damaged.
Not our clowns 🤡 Not our Circus 🎪
The flip flop warriors are not our problem.🤷♀️
— “AD technology” — ??
Does “AD” stand for Air Defense? Artillery Defense? Attitude Derangement <grins>?
AD = Air Defense.
Even though I am….just a girl👗amazing what I have
learned since the Russian SMO began.
Thanks for your reply!
Must be for “Auto-Destruction”.
<chuckles>
We learned nothing from Korea and Vietnam. If we had fought to the German border and then stopped, we would still be fighting the Third Reich today.
Look where we are at now because the Crusades where called off…🤔
The Crusades weren’t “called off”…
The Knights of the Round Table all died off, and, have been replaced with a bunch of pussies calling themselves ‘the EU”…
Plus, the situation has been reversed in the current Crusade… The Moors will be driving the european pussies off to the hinterlands…
Knights of the round table??? Arthurian legend aside…
Per Brave AI-
The Crusades effectively stopped in the late 13th century due to a combination of military failure, financial exhaustion, and shifting political priorities. The movement ended not because of a single papal decree, but because European support collapsed after the fall of Acre in 1291, which marked the loss of the last major Crusader stronghold in the Holy Land.
Key factors leading to the cessation included:
Diminishing Religious Fervor: The initial zeal that fueled the First Crusade faded as subsequent expeditions failed to secure lasting gains, leading many Europeans to view crusading as a pointless waste of lives and resources.
Political and Military Division: Crusader states were plagued by internal conflicts and lack of coordination, while the Islamic world gradually unified under powerful leaders like Saladin and the Mamluks, making it difficult for fragmented European forces to compete.
Economic and Logistical Strain: Sustaining armies in the Middle East was incredibly expensive and logistically difficult; as European monarchs became more focused on consolidating power and resolving disputes at home, they were less willing to fund distant wars.
Rise of Alternative Priorities: The Catholic Church’s influence waned as attention shifted to other conflicts, such as the Iberian Reconquista (which succeeded in expelling Muslims from Spain) and internal European schisms, rendering the Holy Land campaigns less relevant.
Although the Church continued to call for crusades, the lack of participation and the final defeat at Acre rendered the enterprise obsolete, with the last recognized major expedition, the Ninth Crusade, concluding in 1272.
My entire post was “legend”, Grunt… Sorry it went “over your head”…
A sarc tag would have helped, you can never tell nowadays what a person believes…🖖🏻
Time for a new crusade.
jjoy, once the Knights Templar repelled the muslem hords they became inconvienient.
Then king phillip iv of france with the help of pope clement v destroyed them.
They were arrested, stripped of their property and treasure, tortured and executed.
So much for the Good Guys.
Today’s fight is with the 4th Reich…
No. Just no. Ending all logistical capability of the Nazis ended the war.
No if we stopped at the German border the woman of the Rhineland and Bavaria would have suffered the same fate their sisters in the east faced
That is me, the first Jake.

I also submitted article and link to the DOD Inspector General
Report that was released today. That is the article that has been
the most discussed on Independent Media.
It hasn’t been posted yet…maybe our moderators think I
was double posting. 🤷♀️ it does say basically the same thing.
Lead Inspector General Report April 1-June 30,2026
‘Hundreds’ of buildings, ‘dozens’ of aircraft destroyed or damaged during Iran ops: DoD IG – Breaking Defense
Without clicking on your links, I can’t tell whose equipment these people are saying was destroyed.
I won’t go chasing intentional lack of info by awarding the click bait artists you quote with clicks.
I am skeptical of these numbers and claims. Hundreds of buildings? Dozens of aircraft? Are they counting every little scratch and nick?
Add to that the fact that this is coming out now along with other 😱 stories. I sense the opposition is flooding main stream and social media with these stories.
Is there so much discussion due to the release of
this official DOD official Inspector General report,
which among other information contains the losses?
🤔
Both of the reports list the type and number.
See page 20 of DOD Inspector General report for the list.
It was surprising to see that we have lost over 30 MQ 9s.
They cost between 30-50 million each. 😳
I submitted links to both of the official reports.
I am an advocate of promoting that people read the reports
on their own instead of the regurgitated version presented
by the media. 🤢
For what purpose? What are you trying to do here?
Yes… Having been associated with the Military for several years, I can confirm that the Military does count every little scratch or nick as destroyed equipment…
Like leaving everything when exiting Afghanistan? Where is the scratch count for that?
Methinks it would be make more sense for you to ask biden rather than asking an old woman like me to explain it to you…
Methinks the poster was not asking you specifically. Nevertheless…
Funny how they all care about destroyed military equipment now….
Was there an IG report in August, September, October 2021? Not asking you but asking for a friend.
Replying for that friend…
Forget about the “IG” reports… They are nothing but hype, ’cause the IG has to make the agency he/she works for look good in the report in order to retain their job…
When I was in the Army, anything with a slight scratch of blemish was declared destroyed or unusable, so new items could be ordered to replace that equipment…
We were alloted a certain figure to spend for replacements and if we didn’t spend it, our allotment for the next year would be revised downward…
I actually worked in the Adjutant’s office…
Every year, we declared brand new IBM Selectric typewriters unusable even if they had a little dust on them.. As a consequence, we had new typewriters every year even if we didn’t need them…
That was the case with all equipment in the Army at the time… Tanks, guns, other weapons, half-tracks, etc.. were replaced whether needed or not just to keep the $$$ alotments from being cut…
Hence why we’re up to a $1.5T budget request in 2026.
Why not? Wasn’t their money. No accountability, why should they care how it was spent.
Our county works that way…
Don’t leave any unspent money behind ..
we won’t get it next year.
ya Jill or Hunter might know or even Valjar.
🙂
Could be… at least they both know how to run the AutoPen machine…
Not in the USCG much or our equipment was well used, battered and beat up. Try setting buoys without doing that.
Now things like compasses and sextants were well taken care of, because you depended on them.
Well Jake, I must admit that I did try setting a few boys back in my early days…
Oh, you kid!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I bet you did!
Bingo!
I understand….clicking on the official government website
to read the DOD Inspector General report is a little risky and
could result in giving our 🇺🇸 government “ clickbait “…..
oh…Kay. 🤷♀️
You are posting these links here as a bait (as always). Your end game is to divide, Gypsy.
President Trump abandoned those middle east military bases before he struck Iran. We are fine letting them be destroyed. We shouldn’t have military bases there anyway. Same for Europe. Now Iran can claim they chased the US out of the ME when the war ends to save face.
Yes … and all of this right on the heels of impeach DoW Sec Hegseth ….
Once you see the strings you can’t unsee them…
Just like all the ballyhooing about AI…
There are photos of the destruction including three Amazon Data Centers totally destroyed with pinpoint hits in Bahrain and the UAE.
Yes, there are photos.
Zero Hedge had story yesterday regarding the
photos and story by CBS News of photos received
from service members of damage on some of the bases.
Seeing some of the damage, I can believe reports that over
400 of our Military were injured. 💔🫡🫡 💔
There are photos and video in the article.
US Troops Leak New Iran War Photos Of Gulf Bases: ‘Major Damage Hidden From American Public’ | ZeroHedge
Those troops leaking photos, expressly forbidden, are traitors. I hope they hang ’em high!
i am paying for this idiocy. i deserve to know what we have accomplished, and where my treasure thats been confiscated from me has gone.
people who think this is some “protection” policy are right: it is protecting the MIC idiots and leadership thieves who are running this s*show.
We are all paying for our safety. Leaking is not for our safety, it is to demoralizing and division.
If you don’t trust the Commander-in-Chief, you better find another one who you think will do better than him.
Spreading seeds of mistrusting is not helpful. It’s playing for the other team.
all this idiocy is not contributing to my safety. it increases the risks to all of us and ensures our republic falls faster.
Would you be better with a nuclear Iran?
You never saw Iran as a threat?
no, and no
Totally agree! This is the Iraq WMD nonsense all over again and will hand control of the government to the Democrats. Maybe, that was the real reason for the war? 🙄

Amazon: cry me a river.
I thought the same until I remembered that AWS has plenty of high value gubmint contracts.
The Amazon data centers were supporting the GCC Military.
Which is precisely why we need to enter that “off-ramp” rather quickly…Iran has prepared for this for decades, c/o the traitor Osama Obama and the billions given iran via the American taxpayer. Even Amazon (AWS) has reported that the cloud infrastructure in Bahrain and UAE are beyond saving because of the retaliatory strikes on US supporting countries.
CBO?
Zzzzz…
Those engaged in the continuing war against Christianity and The West are in full-on panic mode. Nothing worked, so they bring B’Ho out to lead the latest shriek fest.
In their scheme to put in place a global government which would abolish Christianity and enslave us all, their man-made global warming scare was a bust. They changed it to climate change. Nope. Next they took down the Trade Center towers to incite a global war against Moslems. Nope. So they blasted us with the covid virus they made in the Wuhan lab and told us we can’t go to church, can’t have Christmas get-togethers, can’t walk in the park, or basically communicate with each other. But they forgot about the new master transmitter of information, the internet. So, again, a bust.
Most recently they tried to panic everyone with Space Aliens, to which everyone went “meh.” So here we go, B’Ho telling us an AI-generated end of humanity is imminent unless we all fall in line.
Naaaah …. we’ll pass.

Precision strikes on Amazon data centers…
Amazon Web Services (AWS) says it cannot restore access to its cloud-computing facility in Bahrain or one of three data-hosting zones in the UAE due to the extensive damage caused by Iranian retaliatory strikes, Reuters reported on 15 September.
“The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple Availability Zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-AZ services are designed to withstand,” AWS reported in its status update seen by Reuters.
In the UAE, resources and data held exclusively within one zone, labeled mec1-az2, have been damaged beyond hope of recovery, the company said, as engineers are still salvaging what they can from the two other battered zones and across the wider Emirati region.
An availability zone refers to a cluster of one or more data centers sitting inside the same geographic region, the structure AWS relies on to keep services running when a single site goes down.
The outages trace back to March, when the US and Israel attacked Iran, and Tehran responded with missile and drone salvos against Israel and Gulf states hosting US military bases.
AWS confirmed at the time that two of its UAE facilities took direct hits, while a drone strike near one of its Bahraini sites left the infrastructure there destroyed.
They say, they say. Even 40 years ago, back up tapes were run and stored away from the mainframe.
thats what an AZ is; it allows diversity of your data. each AZ is in a different physical location but are tied logically so you can store and process the same data in each of them.
a smart architect would have stored it in other regions, as well, although many states now demand “sovereignty” of that data (aka it must stay within their borders).
incidentally, i also see azure and google cloud regions in the GCC
You build overseas, you take on the political risk that comes with it. In the Middle East, you deserve it.

She lists references and has links to further reading.
I did do some further reading, and as one journalist said
at the time – it was the story of the decade..but if you told it
you would be signing your death warrant.
This is a great example of the power of propaganda 🗞️ 📰 📺

JIM JONES WAS A CIA OPERATIVE CONDUCTING MIND CONTROL EXPERIMENTS
Sorry but I lived in SF during the time and followed the story closely with local news, including alternative magazines. The truth is Jones was messanic wanna be. Lots of high profile cult religious leaders at the time – Rev. Sun Yung Moon, the Moonies, and L Ron Hubbard, Scientology being good examples.
It seems religious zealots that believe they talk to god and are talking for god eventually end up believing they are god. I think David Koresh fits that mold too.
A BIG difference there: David Koresh didn’t kill his followers…
76 people, including 25 children were murdered by bill clinton’s AG, janet reno, who gave the order to set fire to Koresh’s complex simply because ir was rumored that Koresh had illegal weapons..
NO but he was still a religious nut case who brainwashed and abused his members.
Evidence and testimony indicate that David Koresh claimed sexual access to women in the Branch Davidian community, including women who had been married to other members. He reportedly declared existing marriages dissolved and treated selected women as his “wives.
There is also substantial evidence that he had sexual relationships with underage girls. The Justice Department reported evidence involving girls in their mid-teens and allegations involving girls as young as 10–12; at least two minors were reportedly considered his “wives” during the 1993 standoff. Former member Kiri Jewell said Koresh sexually abused her after making her his “bride” at age 10.

Jake, my friend, same as it ever was and shall ever be.
And yet you seem surprized.
Why wasn’t Koresh taken in town as it was reported he was frequently there?
Our government burned those people alive.
Why?
Why Ruby Ridge?
Truli… Yes, David Koresh drove in to Waco several times per week to buy feed, groceries, and other supplies…
Local law enforcement in Waco refused to arrest Koresh due to the fact that he had committed no criminal activity… The AFT, FBI, or Federal marshals couldn’t arrest him as they didn’t have probable cause for arrest.
The seige at Mount Carmel started when 4 ATF agents climbed up on a porch roof and tried to enter the Mount Carmel complex by breaking in a 2nd floor window…
Two of Koresh’s followers were in the 2nd floor room and opened fire on the ATF agents, killing all 4 of them and losing their lives in the gunfight…
Lots more happened, but I am too tired to write it all down now… Am gonna have a ginger ale laced with Ol’ GrandDad 86 proof and snooze off for the night…
i am very skeptical of the CIA story, but i wold also say your comment does not preclude him (or others) from being an operative. it was certainly the time in CIA’s life when it was at its most powerful and scumbaggy/evil.
I concur. Those were strange days and honestly believe San Francisco has yet to recover from having once been known as the most beautiful city in California.
The spooks have a selection criteria – they find people who fit their specific criteria already… off-balance;
*investing time & effort in MKUltra mind control training not required for the already-inclined conductors of the agenda*
they simply feed the damaged-fertile-ground already there & continue feeding/directing/fanning-the-flames from behind the scene.
“By converting genuine grievances into an institutional project…” writing & using media propaganda “reporting, coverage, & stories” to convince the public this project is “happening organically”.
LSD was the COVID of the day, a lab created pathogen released onto an unsuspecting public. All bolstered by Uncle supported heroin smuggling out of South East Asia and Cocaine from South America. The plethora of cults springing up globally in opposition to Christianity was no accident. Upon release, propaganda and fear mongering did the rest. Everything about the 60’s cultural revolution was Astro turf. This was done to us on purpose.
LSD was developed by our very own CIA for use in their “mind control” programs…
Was walking down a street near downtown SF one day and saw him, standing on the steps of the city hall building, doing what we called at the time street preaching, there were about ten people listening to him. I stood about 15 feet away, simply watching him and the interaction with the people he was preaching to; the weird thing was he turned his head and stared at me, flat out stared, actually lost his train of thought.
He was, even at that time, very obviously a psychopath. San Francisco had a few of them at that time, it was the springtime of the hippy movement and drugs and that city seemed to draw the nuts like flies to honey.
Proposing whether or not he was an operative is preposterous and simply another example of re-writing of history to sell books or gain followers.
How San Fran Democrats made Jim Jones, and then made his memory vanish
Jim Jones helped hundreds commit suicide in 1978. Before that he took money from the Carter for President campaign to finance the buying of votes in San Fran and the bay Area. At the same time he was a leading GOTV person for the Democrat Party. In fact, they needed him and paid him off.
“But collective amnesia over just who aided and abetted Jim Jones is much easier to explain. The same influence used on Jones’s behalf during his life helped after his death to erase the causes and candidates he supported.
https://capoliticalreview.com/2018/10/15/how-san-fran-democrats-made-jim-jones-and-then-made-his-memory-vanish/
I remember, at the time, then Mayor Diane Feinstein was a fan, and encouraging supporter, of Jim Jones’ ahem “missionary work”.
That was also the era where deprogramming was getting its foothold and the reason Congressman Ryan went on that trip, after many urgent requests by family members who could no longer reach their relatives that had gone to Guyana, which ended in such horror.
Agree, the use of throwing damaging information into the memory hole has now been perfected by politicians, of both parties and sadly the news media participates in erasing these roots too.

Give him security (he was illegally doxed) and bring him to a PDJT rally to speak. This man has true courage and integrity.
I would love to see him file a lawsuit against the jurors, defense attorney, the media, anyone that has targeted him or his family with harassment, lies or discrimination of any kind. Sue their evil asses into bankruptcy.
Amen.

We’re beyond broke. Why not just do what was promised for the past 10 years in a hundred rallies and keep the $5,000 dividend. 🤔
“Bessent says Treasury is seeking ways to deliver Trump’s $5,000 dividend without adding to deficit
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told lawmakers on Tuesday that the US Treasury is examining whether the Trump administration can give Americans a $5,000 dividend without going through Congress, and he believes there is a way to do it without adding to the deficit.
Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Bessent said Treasury officials have been developing the proposal for some time, though he declined to provide specifics on how the plan would be funded without driving up the nation’s debt.”

And gasoline prices are soaring, the 30 year mortgage rate broke 7%, and the Fed is going to raise the rate today.
And winter is coming.
Gas in the sw suburbs of Chicago 4.79, diesel 6.50.
Gasoline high under Biden:
https://usgasgauge.com/gas-prices/by-president/biden
Term high
$5.01 at the pump · nominal
$5.46 in 2025 dollars · adjusted
The highest national average diesel price during Joe Biden’s presidency was approximately $5.816 per gallon, recorded in the week of June 20, 2022, according to EIA data
Using overall U.S. inflation, $5.816 in June 2022 is approximately $6.58 today.
Calculation:
$5.816×CPI in Aug. 2026CPI in June 2022≈$5.816×1.13=$6.58$5.816×CPI in June 2022CPI in Aug. 2026≈$5.816×1.13=$6.58
So the inflation-adjusted equivalent is about $6.58 per gallon, or roughly 76¢ more than the original price. This uses the latest available CPI data for August 2026; the September 2026 CPI had not yet been released – Duck aI
Biden had massive inflation. You can’t compare his diesel price with today without adjusting for overall inflation.
Biden’s prices were much higher. Can you imagine where they would be if Biden or Harris was president?
yeah, that isn’t biden anymore…
No doubt about, your comments are valid. For me its just ‘personal’, my own situation.
But for average people, it was not sustainable during Bribem’s admin, would not have been with a Harris cabal and its not now…wages may be up for some but not all. And locales are compensating in other aspects, by raising property taxes…we are being painfully squeezed.
yes it could have been worse…as I contemplate delaying retirement, again.
I don’t care about the CPI, as I am not a finance type person and don’t understand it…I focus on the cash register total at the grocery store…the gas pump and the bank balance…after enduring Bribem, I am now in survival mode after 6 years. And very frustrated…like many others…
Oh well, God Bless America.
That is my point, no democrat has had a good economy. Not Carter, not Clinton, not Obama, and not Biden. All had high inflation, high fuel prices, high unemployment and recession. Clinton did the best because of the dot com bubble, which burst right after he left office and his banking deregulation caused the 2007 Subprime mortgage crisis.
If you think the Democrats will make a better economy you are insane.
Agree. I’ve postponed retiring, I was going to this next spring, but I’m working for another 3 years before taking social security, so when the 30% haircut hits in 2032 I’ll have more than if I retire soon. As long as my health holds out.
And the health industrial complex people are taking all my disposable income again, so I’m in skinny mode until at least Christmas. Animal food, utilities, gasoline/diesel, insurance, people food. Anything else, waits. I have enough UFO’s (unfinished objects, knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, fixing the laundry room wall, etc) to keep busy without spending money. Haven’t been to a movie in at least a decade. I did spring for Starlink last spring so I can use my cell phone indoors.
I hope your finances can improve.

In Wisconsin, the total tax on a gallon of gasoline is approximately 51.3 cents, which includes both state and federal taxes. The state gas tax alone is 32.9 cents per gallon.

Purchased (ransom) diesel fuel in Temecula Ca. yesterday for $7.89…Ca. has huge reserves Bakersfield to the channel Islands, the LA basin not only has oil, refines it (San Pedro, Harbor City and Wilmington) but transports the products by truck, rail and ship! Fuel is cheaper in HI than it is here Ca.

Annual average 30-year mortgage rates by presidency
Carter (1977–1981): 9.64% to 16.63% — rates rising rapidly under Volcker
Reagan (1981–1989): 16.63% to 10.34% — peak then long decline
G.H.W. Bush (1989–1993): 10.32% to 7.31% — late Volcker normalization
Clinton (1993–2001): 7.31% to 6.97% — first sub-7% reading since 1971 (1998)
G.W. Bush (2001–2009): 6.97% to 5.04% — refinance boom, then ZIRP
Obama (2009–2017): 5.04% to 3.99% — QE-era lows
Trump (1st term) (2017–2021): 3.99% to 2.96% — pandemic record low
Biden (2021–2025): 2.96% to 6.84% — Fed hiking cycle
My first mortgage was 14.25%. That was during the Reagan administration.
7% is on the higher side of normal. The super low rates of the previous years have spoiled homeowners. 5 to 6% is normal.
yup. while this is important historical context, it really does not help the younger buyers. normalcy bias does not take long to be implemented, and in a period of constant, unpredictable inflation, people are going to recall only the best of times, until a new time settles in long enough.
I was a younger buyer when the rates were over 8%. I’m really not going to cry about the current situation.
The problem is everyone has mortgages with those 3% rates and they aren’t going to sell their homes – hence low supply which sustains $430K median listing prices and high rents as priced out homebuyers are forced into that market.
The additional factors are high cost of construction, it always goes up and zoning restrictions which always increase.

Biden Energy Policies Cost U.S. Households More Than $2,300 Since 2021
https://energyataglance.com/2023/06/01/biden-energy-policies-cost-u-s-households-more-than-2300-since-2021/
Over the Past Two Years:
Overall residential electricity prices increased by 17 percent
Industrial electricity prices rose 34 percent
Home heating oil prices increased by 88 percent
Oil prices rose 61 percent
Natural gas prices rose 51 percent
The price of gasoline rose by $1.15 per gallon, or 46 percent
and that was only two years!
Energy prices have continued to rise under President Joe Biden’s radical energy and climate agenda. In 2021, household electricity prices rose 8 percent. Electricity price increases accelerated even more in 2022, and have now risen 17 percent since December 2020, the last month before Biden took office.
I knew all that. Clearly you have misunderstood my intent. That’s easy to do on the interwebs.
Not misunderstanding your intent. I just like to give people hard facts to consider to make a informed decision in the midterms. We all wish the the economy was better and prices lower. People get depressed when things are going the wrong way, that is just human nature.
Well, I for one will be glad when winter comes. Excessive 100 degree days in a row has caused our large oaks to drop leaves prematurely. Some trees and shrubs will die off.
(Of course, those dead trees make good fire wood, eventually)
Yeah me to, but -10 to -15 with wind chills to -30 don’t thrill me a lot either or help the utility bill. Yet I don’t complain much I chose to live here and enjoy Wisconsin. At least we get a break in between heating and cooling seasons.
Jake, I can put on enough clothes to stay warm.
But I cannot take off enough to get cool.
Well, that’s what that deputy said, anyway.
BooHoo…
I paid 9.75% in 1994 & paid more per gallon for gas under Xiden.
I would prefer a 100% tax exemption for residential heating oil.
And, a ban on US diesel exports.
As someone said on X:
“Plenty of ‘right wingers’ who were screaming ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ after Trump was shot in Butler are now threatening to vote for Communists because gas is temporarily expensive.
Softest f$#ing people on the planet”.
I concur.
agree.
at the end of the day, gas prices are high and will remain that way
because that is what the opposition to PT wants.
any stain on his administration is dandy with the global cabal –
splits off voters, lowers the perception of his term,
punishes working people, all kinds of dividends for them.
so quoting the ups and downs of the price of a barrel of oil
is more like chasing butterflies.
oil will come down when it serves the purposes of the anti-Trump forces.
BIG roadblocks in his way, but hoping PT might be able to pull off a workaround.
That is exactly what I have been thinking. The prices are high because midterms are around the corner. I have seen it in my area. Prices had been between $3.69 and $3.99 for the longets time. over the last couple of weeks its jumped to $4.19 to $4.99. Diesel is now almost $6.00.
The perpetually muh outraged faux MAGA crowd are easily persuaded.
100% correct….Midterms coming, and the deep state is looking to make people uncomfortable with higher costs. Problem is many folks can’t see beyond the price of eggs and gas. …and I’m talking conservatives…..And the repug party has always been piss poor communicators, so….by design?
Well said, it’s what can you do for me right now world.
I can spend the money just as foolishly as congress can.
I feel sorry for you if you think that any monies will be used to pay down the debt. The dog wads wont even submit a budget, it’s just one CR after another and each one is an emergency.
Haven’t had a budget in years.
Lobbyist telling CONgress, the House, what to do plus they write all the bills.
The bills go to the Senate that does nothing.
unfortunately i agree, lately. there is no possible way we are going to magically work our way back to any fiscal sanity. literally the only way this gets fixed is by inflating the debt away, and it appears that what we are going to do.
with the entirety of government, every branch, just openly looting the treasury now, IMO if i can get my hands on a few that help my family for what is to come, then why SHOULDN’T i have some tiny access to the printing press, as well?
send it.
Has CONgress consented to doing anything at all?
No, and Johnson said that Congress wouldn’t approve it!
It’s amazing what a 3D printer can do!
if this is not a perfect commentary on the state of our former republic, i don’t know what is…
Rich: oh gee, … I guess I asked for it, and GOD sent Arch-angel to do it, “repair it”.
I’m talking about seeing with my 3rd eye (the Holy SPIRIT… I thought).
I had terrible “night-time” experience. Picture after picture of someone being a crook, robbing, hanging out with other crooks, … it seemed like time without modern cars, living in slum type places, horrible feelings, and gee … I did wake up and immediately go back to this “dark realm” to this slum type experience. No mention of GOD, or anything like that, survival type slum, not sure I saw any women that I can recall. Weird stuff and slimmy stuff.
I was expecting to see “heavenly stuff” after Arch-angel OPENED my 3rd eye … and was prepared to Breath GOD in and out into the 3rd eye.
If it was me, which I don’t know , …but if it was me, … it was horrible existence. My first experience … having my 3rd I opened … was 1 day ago when I saw a demon type being … about 50-100 feet above me. As the Arch-angel was repairing my 3rd eye, … he looked horrid. The Arch-angel wasn’t concerned and said the demon can’t do anything, he was or … we were protected by GOD.
Well, I saw no angels or GOD beings around last night.
I will pray and meditate today, … and practice GOD BREATHING. Thank YOU , GOD, for showing me this stuff, I don’t understand it, at all, but it is for my good … and … if that was me, in past time, … thanks for giving me “this current life” and receiving Jesus Christ … because in that “experience I had last night” … “I was lost and felt no GOD’.
Firstly, one should be conscious of the fact that the spiritual realm is not a place for the average mind, no matter how “good” the intentions may be. It is told that when Moses “climbed” to the highest level while receiving the word on mt.Sinai he was confronted by very scary “angels”, who did not like the fact that a human was attempting to “see” God. They will not allow anything “unclean” to pass – on pain of death – and he was required to “answer” various questions, but was so terrified he could only ask God to protect him. God told him to hold onto the “throne” – which is pure faith and holiness – and reply. Only by his complete honesty and purest of intentions was he “allowed” to progress from one to the other. Just so you/we understand, the slightest lie or “hidden” intent could very well cost a persons life.
Then there is the history of “the four” during the 2nd Temple era who attempted the same. Only 1 (Rabbi Akiva) was able to come and go in peace. Of the other three (who were all very very righteous people prior) one lost his mind, one became apostate, the other died. So bottom line – if a person feels they have this ability/call it is possible through meditation (3rd eye) to enter this realm. However be warned we enter a world not made for humans, and certainly not a place of curiosity or self serving needs, even if we imagine those to be righteous. A simple honest connection through prayer, talking (and meditation) in the “normal” way is more than enough for the average person without risking the wrath of the unknown. Which is why I sometimes cringe when people talk of “spiritual warfare” – if by that they intend entering into the spiritual realm to “battle demons”. Don’t do that.
By all means protect yourself by donning the “armor of God” through prayer, reciting particular Psalms etc, but be very careful thinking we have the ability to operate in that dimension, even if the intention seems good.
checked in and everything is ok. Christ told me to check with Father GOD … and I did and intuitively got that during daytime to send lots of GOD’S Love into the 3rd eye, it is going through clearing out old stuff, … completely normal, and over time the 3rd eye will be LIGHT filled. So I “work” during the day to keep GOD Breathing into 3rd eye, to clear the channel. Feeling better now. I guess at this point, I’m not that conscious of what goes on in 3rd eye (obviously), it just OPENED, and so I like what the Trinity is suggesting. I enjoy GOD Breathing, so I can do this, using GOD’S grace and GOD POWER.
Rich, I am very, very concerned for you.
You seem to be inviting demonic interaction or attack.
Please re-think your approach to Godly knowledge and acceptance.
You are trying too hard.
Kindest regards, Truli.
Obama and the Dems are suspiciously sounding the ‘AI apocalypse’ alarm — just in time for the midterms
https://nypost.com/2026/09/13/opinion/obama-and-the-dems-are-suspiciously-sounding-the-ai-apocalypse-alarm-just-in-time-for-the-midterms/
loved the picture. Sounds True, the dems will have to teach the A.I. how to lie. 🙂
When AI draws its “intelligence” from Reddit, NYT, WaPo, Axios, and all the other propaganda sources, then it is, in fact, programmed to lie and it is, in fact, artificial.
Garbage in = garbage out
yeah, and someone was calling me up short a couple days ago for contending that they’ll train all the AI on super-liberal news and literature so it’ll give only super-liberal answers and explanations and castigate anything conservative
then they’ll say: “well it must be true, AI says so”
well, there’s who’ll be running the AI
I rest my case
A scary idea…as I heard a blurb, last night of Fox, about the seemingly re-emergence of Carfentanil, the zoological medication used as a sedative for such animals as elephants and rhinoceri. It was a huge problem in and around 2010, as I recall. First responders were dropping like flies after being exposed to a patient who had it in their systems. While highly regulated at the time and the DEA and FDA knew where every grain of it was located in America, it was reportedly then too, available on line, by mail order and was cheap. Reportedly, from China. Perhaps the following is another ‘re-engineering’ of ‘stuff’, from China?
This is from AI:
“The re-narcotization (or re-emergence) of carfentanil is a critical clinical risk where overdose symptoms return after initial stabilization.
This phenomenon occurs because carfentanil is highly lipophilic and stored in fatty tissue, which allows it to be redistributed back into the bloodstream 2 to 24 hours after the initial dose of the antidote wears off.”
If it can stay in the system as long as 24 hours, that “monitoring” guideline seems to be inadequate, big time. Again, the Big Medical Industrial Complex, calling the shots?
Just read about this new synthetic opioid called Cychlorphine that is TEN TIMES more deadly than Fentanyl–and causing Overdoses in the same manner. https://www.addictioncenter.com/news/2026/03/cychlorphine
I asked AI, what it was used for…and this is what returned:
“Cychlorphine has no approved medical or pharmaceutical use and is not prescribed for any condition.
It is an unregulated synthetic opioid belonging to the “orphine” subclass that was originally developed in 1960s Belgian research labs to study potent painkillers but was never approved for human use due to its extreme danger. “
And…”Illicit Use: It is primarily found in the illegal drug supply, where it is mixed into other substances like fentanyl, heroin, or counterfeit pills without the user’s knowledge”.
Am wondering if TPTB want a segment of society, eliminated?
Going deeper on AI:
“Based on the provided search context, there is no specific average cost listed for reversing a fentanyl overdose in the Emergency Department (ED). The context does provide average costs for opioid overdoses generally: $504 for patients treated and released from the ED, $11,731 for those admitted to the hospital, and $20,500 for those requiring ICU care”
The questions not asked…what are the ‘reimbursements’ to hospitals, along the lines of ‘government grants’, for ‘treatment’?
You know, like for the number of intubations and ventilatory support related to the ‘Rona?
And….”2009 and 2015, the average cost of care per opioid admission across all types rose from $58,500 to $92,400 in academic hospitals, a 58% increase that outpaced medical inflation. “.
Reimbursement grants, according to AI, do not cover the costs completely. The OD patient is often uninsured and relies on nothing or medicare or medicaid…
Well they are doing a good job at it so far. I wonder how many deaths from “accidental overdoses occur each year?
AI
There were an estimated 80,391 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2024, representing a 26.9% decrease from the previous year
The Trump effect?
We used to make naloxone drips for those situations. Easier to titrate the dose.
The stuff that gets invented and manufactured gets scarier and scarier.
Fascinating…I have never used that in my experience…is that an ER strategy?
ER and ICU.
We did not use it in the critical care units that I iworked in…
I was in for a procedure that required I go under, mighta been a colonoscopy or a knee cleanout (blew a cruciate ligament at 24, this was 20 yrs later)

NY Times Poll: 51% Say They View Socialism Unfavorably
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/poll-socialism-midterms/2026/09/15/id/1269567/
The poll found 51% of likely voters said they had an unfavorable view of socialism, including 40% who viewed it very unfavorably. Thirty-one percent said they had a favorable view, 7% said they had not heard of socialism, and 10% said they did not know or declined to answer.
So 31% of those polled are total idiots, 7% are ignorant fools, and 10% refused to answer the poll.
And corporatism is challenging the rest of us…
Corporatism = Fascism = Communism. We end up at the same spot of tyranny.
A lot of Democratic idiots have run for office, some like Al Green and Jasmine Crockett have even managed to win in a gerrymandered district, but Talarico has to be the biggest idiot yet.
James Talarico Thinks His Own Campaign Signs Are Racist
https://townhall.com/news/josephchalfant/2026/09/15/james-talarico-thinks-his-own-campaign-signs-are-racist-n2683030
“These black and white signs with giant letters are designed to suggest something nefarious, something dangerous,” Talarico wrote on social media. “They’re designed to make us afraid.”
Similarly to Beto O’Rourke in 2018, Talarico himself has adopted black and white campaign signs for his Senate bid. He’s even made public appearances behind those signs at campaign stops around the state.
Maybe if the background was black and the lettering white they wouldn’t be racist? Talarico is the worst race baiter ever,
I’m north of Austin dog sitting for my son and DIL and actually saw a Talarico bumper sticker! His commercials are very slick even very conservative saying people are struggling with paying their bills and going after billionaires but it’s all bull💩! He makes it sound like he alone can fix it! He’s modern day snake oil salesmen! He won’t get this Texan’s vote!
Not this Texans’ either.
Austin is Talafreako territory. Those kids will believe anyone except Donald Trump.
I’ll tell ya’ what’s scary about this false prophet……… the race is allegedly neck-and-neck according to pollsters. Yeah, I know, I don’t believe them either but let’s just assume for now that the race is even, or very close. Plus, consider the fact that millions of out of state dollars are pouring into Talafreakos war chest. Just the fact that this race is allegedly close is mind boggling to me. Is Texas this far gone? Asking for the benefit and wellbeing of my first cousins that reside there! I am praying for y’all. 🙏
Like y’all say, “God’s will be done!”
What an idiot.
Red blood runs through all of us.
and yet, he stands a decent chance of “winning.”
PT called him Talafreako. Kind of appropriate as he is a weirdo. Never had a job. Never really did anything. Lived with his mother way too long.
They don’t use red or blue as some see that as party affiliation.
I live in a south Texas small town, and was at a local coffee shop, there were 5 other people….ALL of them are voting Telafreako…..ALL of them. They said they dont like how Paxton treated his wife and he is a criminal.
I asked if they had seen any of his non Texas comments, drag queen/kids trans-ing …… they said they have not seen any of that and it is not true…. wow
BUT after thinking about it, most people get news from their phones,,,, and the algarythyms send you what you like….. so they probably are not getting any real news on T_freak……..
not a fan of online info ….
my questions got them pissed off as I was “obviously uninformed”
I was at the American Legion recently and an older man with a Talarico shirt walked in and sat at the bar (looked like an old hippie, big beard and unkempt hair). It took all of my self control not to engage, It’s my believe that if someone wears something like that to the Legion he was looking for trouble.
DG, my big brother, who did 3 tours in Nam as a medic with Dust Off and now at 85yrs old and managing his local VFW, would have escorted him out.
It’s my believe that if someone wears something like that to the Legion he was looking for trouble
yep – passive/aggressive provocation, and entirely intentional
They are going to believe what they want to believe. But thanks for trying anyway!
most people get news from their phones,,,, and the algarythyms send you what you like
that’s really, really true, and something to keep in mind when assessing what and why other people arrive with certain viewpoints
Many Dems live in the affluent “Park Cities” (University Park and Highland Park) which are incorporated within Dallas and their wealth comes from “old money” fortunes in oil/gas, cattle, banking, insurance, and real estate. They normally are happy to put Dem candidates’ election signs in their yards, but a Talerico sign is a rare sight. They clearly understand that he is antithetical to their privileged life style.
Dutch officials say first toddler euthanized under new state law was “handled well”
https://notthebee.com/article/dutch-officials-say-first-toddler-euthanized-by-the-state-was-handled-well
Doctors predicted that the child would not live to adulthood; therefore killing the two-year-old was the best choice for “care.”
‘Despite all medical and non-medical interventions, the parents and the doctor observed no improvement in the child’s condition and were convinced that the child was suffering unbearably and without prospect of relief.’
Neither the article, nor the medical committee described how the child’s life was ended.
Was the child removed from life support and allowed to die?
Was the child injected with lethal chemicals to stop the heart?
Even if you agree with occasional state killings in cases of extreme suffering, these decisions incentivize the worst of slippery slopes in warped recesses of the human heart.
Where do we go next?
https://x.com/Memetic_Hazard_/status/2099853558694785391
I haven’t read the link but I wonder, where the parents really stood on this? Because doctors “predicted”?
Next thing, the two year old in a case of “the terrible two’s” will be next.
They may have went along with it, the child had multiple problems and taking care of a child like that is both expensive and exhausting. I know from my experiences. Still it is to slippery a slope in my opinion.
This child was born very prematurely, at only 26 weeks of gestation. It quickly became apparent that the child had suffered severe brain damage, resulting in severe cerebral palsy and a visual impairment. This was compounded by frequent and severe epileptic seizures, which were largely unresponsive to medication. This left the child restless and unable to sleep for long periods. They also had mucus in their lungs, which made breathing and swallowing very difficult.
We also have a neighbor that had a 26 week old that survived. He did not have brain damage but he spent a bit more than the first year of his life in a hospital. He is now a healthy, full functioning 5 year old in kindergarten. His main problem is being tube fed the first three years of his life he doesn’t want to eat. He had no sucking or swallowing reflect. His parents are working on that and making progress. You can’t believe what this little boy went through or what a ‘miracle’ baby he was to his parents.
For the last several years, my doctor has been predicting I have only a few more months of life left in my tired ol’ body, Yet, I am still waking up on the green side of the grass…
The point is: Only the Lord God Almighty knows when you are going to die…
Unless one of those “sparks of humanity’ creeps in your window.

Very pessimistic postings today. Very anti everything and not many uplifting thoughts at all.
Come on Treepers, we can do better than that. One would think there is no hope and right before midterms.

Good morning, bjorkdream.
Beautiful images and excellent advice.
Thank you for all you do to bring positivity and uplifting words to Treepers every day!
Many blessings and wonderful days to you, as well.
Indeed, bjorkdream.
Sweet picture. 😍 👍
Ty B, you as well.
Saw a deer yesterday on the edge of the National Forest next to my extra lot. Man, they can jump.
Our first night in the Northwood, we saw a mama deer and her growing baby, grazing….every day is a gift.
One of my favorites
Beautiful Aspen trees. Love the picture. Have a great day!
Planted Quaking Aspens @ lake house in NC, will be nice to watch them grow.
In the mornings before I leave for work I look out my kitchen window and usually see a couple of deer lying down under the trees just up the hill chewing their cud. Peaceful. I just look for at least a few seconds, a nice start to the day.
Thank you for the beautiful photograph.
Two weeks until October: will there be an “October Surprise” this election year?
Possible good-surprise candidates:
Iranians successfully revolt against the Islamic Guard’s dictatorship,
Zelensky is removed and the Ukrainian War ends,
Oil prices finally drop,
Bumper crops in the Midwest,
MAObama is arrested and prosecuted for assorted crimes with others from his and The Manchurian Marionette’s regimes…
(Insert your possibility here)
Possible bad-surprise candidates:
IRGC goes completely suicidal “down-to-the-last-man” and blocks Hormuz by sinking various ships
Oil therefore hits $200-300 per barrel
The Deep State maneuvers * oil into the $150.00 range even without a disaster
NATO without the U.S. suddenly increases the violence in the Ukraine War: Russia suffers hundreds of missile/drone strikes
Russia therefore hits sites in England, France, and Germany
The Chinese use that opportunity to attack Taiwan, or blockade it
The Deep State manipulates* the economy into a massive recession
Canada allows the Chinese Communists to place missiles and military bases in Canada
Islamic terrorists blow up refineries/power plants/water-works here in the U.S.
Another bio-weapon from China is deployed
Several school/concert/political rally/shopping center/Sunday church massacres arise
An assassination occurs
(Insert your disaster possibility here)
Also possible is that the October Surprise is that there will be no October Surprise: the current status quo remains.
*Through Fake News, rumors, massive sell-offs of stock, etc. to spook panic
The big surprise will be when people place the first heating oil order after the summer season’s over. A 100 gallon minimum delivery around $700 is my idea of a political disaster prior to a critical election.
My bill went up so I must vote against my own interests. Brillant!
Well you certainly covered all the possibilities so you’re probably right! Keep a copy of this post to follow up which one happens!

Perhaps there would be multiple October surprises. So perhaps I should pull out the portable emergency stove and oven never used, and figure out how to use them, because it could prove right wearisome to just eat dehydrated fruit out of those #10 cans. No sarc intended.
The October surprise will be any number of things designed and scheduled to influence the midterm elections and neuter President Trump’s final two years of his second term, including impeachment.
“…including impeachment.”
And on schedule, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a lame duck, has started the process!
Why is everyone assuming the ‘October Surprise’ is going to come from one political direction?
I’ll play.
A rogue AI will take down the power grid and it will stop food and fuel deliveries. Riots and looting will soon follow and spread.
Yes, and if not a computer, a few dozen “data centers” overloading the grid and causing blackouts could also foment such unrest.
As we know, in certain areas, it does not take much for people to find an excuse for looting.
Conspiracy Theory
This term was created during the Warren Commission to explain the assassination of JFK. When anything counters their well-constructed narratives they roll this out. Then the enemy MSM spins up the hooey machines, points fingers and screams 24/7…Conspiracy Theory, that he or she is a nut and shut down opposistion.
For me it’s like calling someone a “Nazi”. It’s a lazy throw away and voila they shut down opposition
How does a glo-bull-ist swamp rat get around the pesky Constitution & Bill of Rights and the smelly patriotic Americans?
They create extra-Constitutional organizations (NGO’s), like the UN ostensibly to protect, you pick the victim class and if you complain the enemy MSM attacks 24/7. Like Election Denier, Free & Fair Elections etc.
https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-democracy-human-rights-and-labor/releases/2025/01/non-governmental-organizations-ngos-in-the-united-states
“Approximately 1.5 million NGOs operate in the United States with $14 Trillion in assets. These NGOs undertake a wide array of activities, including political advocacy on issues such as foreign policy, elections, the environment, healthcare, women’s rights, economic development, and many other issues.”
This is the fun part, with their $14 trillion in assets they use this to “Divide & Conquer”.
One of the funniest of these NGO’s the (SPLC) Southern Poverty Law Center created in 1971 to “fight” racism. With assembled news panels use them instantly as experts on who is a racist.
(USAID) US Agency for International Development, created in 1961 for foreign aid and development. Rampant fraud, bribery, misallocation of funds and resources used to foment chaos in the USA, corrupt to the bone.
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), in a speech on the Senate floor, questioned how a six-month-old nonprofit with $100 in the bank and ties to former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was able to secure a $2 billion climate change grant from President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Again, we must understand this is the Mac-Daddy of all slush funds, NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organization) amassing $14 + Trillion in combined assets. “Federal Reserve Financial Accounts says U.S. NGOs held $14.12 trillion in assets as of Q2 2025, which is bigger than the combined 2025 GDP of Japan, Germany, and India by roughly 5%.” Oh, there are 1.5 million NGO’s, and they’re tax exempt.
https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-democracy-human-rights-and-labor/releases/2025/01/non-governmental-organizations-ngos-in-the-united-states
President Trump has laid this bare and if we look, now we can see the truth. Just like polls via the enemy MSM they are wholly created hooey to boost the swamp narrative, yet idiots still lap it up. Their big selling point we are a 50/50 population it’s close.
This fraud rolls on and on and on creating nothing but no-account Marxist millionaires who are as useless as teats on a boar hog, their great skill, following orders.
Build up false narratives that create chaos and misery so that these installed demonic idiots can come and save us.
Speaking for myself, if I’m in real jeopardy the last thing I want to see coming to save me is that something like that Linebacker Stacy Abrams.
This extra Constitutional nonsense must come to an end. Do you remember when Barrycare was shoved through like the Fed at the last minute before the swamp rats Christmas break and an intrepid reporter got to Nacy Piglosi and asked if ACA was Constitutional and she chuckled and said something like: “Constitutional, are you kidding me, don’t be silly.”
On all things in this country are supposed to be weighed in this metric “is it Constitutional?” aka the law of the land.
When these creeps in the Executive, Legislative & Judicial state and federal, who swear an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, get outside of our Founding charter there needs to be severe penalties.
MAGA! …with God the only way.
AMEN
Freeze ngo money under national security and use usad as your precedent. 14t would make a dent toward that debt clock. Throw in, university endowments and assets too. They have proven for the most part, less medical, engineering and a few other majors to be nothing more than indoctrination cults.

FTA “The other and more significant point raised by Alito, however, is that the plaintiff states and federal courts — including SCOTUS — “bear a substantial share of the blame for the rule’s timing.” The justice chronicled the timeline of how the challenging states immediately sued the administration after Trump signed the contested order in late March, and how such litigation “cast a cloud over the Government’s ability to issue a final rule.” He further observed how Obama-appointed District Judge Indira Talwani strung this lawfare along by “enter[ing] several injunctions months later prohibiting the Government from undertaking that rulemaking.”
Indira Talwani is a U.S. District Judge for the District of Massachusetts, serving since May 12, 2014. She was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate with a unanimous 94-0 vote. Born on October 6, 1960, in Englewood, New Jersey, she is of Indian descent and was the first judge of Asian descent to serve on the federal bench in Massachusetts.
Need I say anymore? Once again Sundance predicted this Lawfare abuse of our Federal Judiciary system!! Hat tip 🎩 to Sundance!
If the Chief Justice allowed the slow walking to happen then it shows he’s really not in charge of his court. Roberts is essentially worthless as a leader and a judge.
John Roberts is the enemy. He could rein in all the rogue liberal judges and refuses.
If judicial slow walking is successful…it will simply become a common weapon.
Sadly….corruption is the most difficult institution to defeat.

Fed rate hikes benefit savers and punishes borrowers. As a country that saves too little and borrows too much, not sure that is a bad thing.
True but the rate of inflation is eating all the interest you gain on the savings plus the buying power of the dollar
Retired Magistrate here: Yes, we are savers and make doers; everything we have is old (including us) but it is still functional and we are not in debt. My parents, who lived through the Great Depression and World War II, taught me to make do or do without and that has been good advice all these years.
We do rely on fuel oil because we live on a limestone ridge and no natural gas up here and electric heat would be very expensive and it is cold heat. We keep our house (a large mid century ranch) at 65 and with the wool carpet that we have and aluminum storms on the windows and 1972 Pella double pane structural windows, we are comfortable. If it gets really cold we just close all the drapes. Our last fuel oil fill up was in late March, we have two 275 gallon tanks, so we shouldn’t be due for another fill up until early December or the first of the year. We have a steep narrow driveway so the truck driver makes sure that we are filled up before really bad weather hits.
Today I am thankful that I can see well enough to type this and just happy to have reached my 79th year a couple of weeks ago.
Happy Birthday, and many more!
Retired Magistrate here: Thank you so much. My father died at 60, my mother died at 68 and my beloved brother, John, died at 71 so every day is a gift.
I am so sorry for their untimely passing but, more time spent in the arms of the Lord…!
Time is a gift…we must be reverent in how we use it…
Above ground and breathing, all the rest is a bonus.
Had to add the breathing years back after working south of New Orleans and noticing the cemeteries.
Happy birthday
Bless you, Marcia, and I wish you the best of all good things.
Your comments, especially those regarding legal issues, are always clear, concise, and highly appreciated by many of us.
Be safe, healthy, warm, and happy.
Rate hikes increase costs.
The whole point of rate increases by tne FED is to suppress economic activity on tne spurious assumption that economic growth causes inflation.
A rate increase now is nuts.
a rate decrease is also nuts, though. prices were going up anyway. the fed has lost control of the situation.
The fed rates’ follow bonds.
Every item I buy, I make sure I toss two of same item…am cleaning out, not purging yet but slowly…the basement flood and Serv Pro gave me a head start in the basement (unfinished).
Suddenly, I look around and realize that there is little out there, I want or need to buy right now.
yeah, i do not like the hoarding thing, but also want to be prepared… not a prepper per se… already don’t like how much junk is around my house.
but right now i am focusing on using my dollars for physical assets. for some i guess that means gold, but i am trying to be more practical. some supplies to keep my vehicle maintained, non perishable food, some water filtration, some battery backup, extra toiletries, extra medicines, etc…
i just don’t think my dollars are very useful sitting in savings or investment right now, all of it is inflating away and probably going to get way worse. i want to be sure my family has what we need as all the craziness sets in. again.
Common sense assets…I hear ya. We had an electrical situation in my own town, due to storms…the stores and gas stations (and bank branches) were closed locally, so a small drive was involved but it taught a lesson…
Yep, have been doing the clean out lately.
An issue here is many if not most of purchases at grocery store are BOGO’s.
By spending more time not at this address it makes for unnecessary spending here and at the others.
It’s taking a bit of restraint to shrink the cabinet fill.
Except that banks and credit unions have not kept up with raising their savings rate
Via Market Vibes:
“Today’s Saudi news and force majeure posts on X are based on a real disruption. In recent days Houthis have taken control of several islands in the Red Sea which give them a stronger position on the Yemeni side of Bab el-Mandeb. That is not a rumor anymore. Bab el-Mandeb is a serious chokepoint, however, the Houthis have said commercial traffic can continue except for Saudi-linked vessels.
According to multiple sources, Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline is offline, perhaps for many weeks. Yanbu loadings are suspended, and some European cargoes have been cancelled. That is a real supply shock; the first since March and close to four million barrels a day. I haven’t seen anything official from Aramco saying there is a formal force majeure on all shipments yet
September cargoes to Europe for term buyers are completely off. Dated/physical crude is trading well above futures tonight but the markets is not disorderly. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said flows could resume within days (doubtful); official sources and banks say 3–5 weeks, others think 6–8 weeks for full repairs. Fluid is the word.
What we have tonight are three verifiable facts: Houthis have achieved significant gains in the Red Sea costal area, the Yanbu East-West pipeline is damaged and down, and cargoes to Europe have been cancelled. Taken together these are serious. However, not enough to put all 9 mm os KSA’s production at risk… yet”
Here is Dmitri Lascaris from Greece describing the situation in West Asia tonight.
This oil market is not an SOH pillow fight. This could become a double-choke point war with 2 front lines which would be a huge leap for the US military in the region.
The only thing the IRGC has to do is make the SOH uninsurable and they can defend Iran indefinitely from a mountain fortress.
Saudi Arabia is the inverse. Its export system is a target rich hallway on flat ground; 1200 clicks long and 13 pumping stations. The Red Sea coast and Ras Tanura are both exposed to a flat and open coastal plain behind them.
The west pumping station on the EW pipeline lifts 5 mbd or so 1200 meters to cross the final pass before Yanboo. It generates up to 200 bar of pressure to do this. According to the satellite photos it looks completely destroyed including the huge transformers. This is custom equipment and it will be offline for a long time. At least one other station was supposedly destroyed. There were a total of 8 or 9 separate attacks on this pipeline.
Saudi Arabia’s MBS pressed Trump to strike Houthis in Yemen, sources say
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-arabia-mbs-trump-houthis-yemen/
Trump turned him down because knows our military is helpless against the Houthis.
Last year, the Houthis defeated a months-long campaign by the United States.
CENTCOM threw “Rough Rider” at the Houthis, a 8 to 10-month planned operation. It ended after 30 days.
During those initial 30 days, the Houthis downed seven American MQ-9 drones (valued at approximately $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s capacity to monitor and target the group. Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet narrowly avoided being hit by Houthi air defenses. Two pilots and a flight deck crew member suffered injuries in two separate incidents involving F/A-18 Super Hornets, which plunged into the Red Sea from the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman within a 10-day period.
The operation’s cost was enormous. The Pentagon had deployed two aircraft carriers, additional B-2 bombers and fighter jets, as well as Patriot and THAAD air defenses to the Middle East and by the end of the first 30 days, expenditures had surpassed $1 billion.
Eventually, Cooper simply gave up.
President Trump is letting Bibi take care of the Saudi situation. Taking down the IRGC is a team effort with the U.S. and Israel.
President Trump is taking care of Mainland Iran and the Hormuz Strait. Israel is taking care of its proxies. Hence the latest arms deal with Israel. Very lethal weapons.
Strategically, it is wiser to use each other’s strengths where they are best served. Israel is not adverse to using ground troops when it comes to their interests and safety. This works well for the Abraham Accords.
‘Our military is helpless against the Houthis’
My goodness the DS aren’t sending their best to this site. If I was Sundance I’d feel a bit slighted at the fact that his creation only merits third tier interference, surely the CTH deserves a better class of FUDing.

“Xiangshan Forum: China defence chief Dong Jun urges countries to find new path to security”
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/watch/xiangshan-forum-china-defence-chief-dong-jun-urges-countries-find-new-path-security-6389201

Why would the Federal Reserve hike interest rates in the middle of Middle East War especially when higher interest rates themselves cause inflation to rise because the cost of everything increases especially home loans, car loans, business investment etc. This makes no sense and does nothing to lower the price of oil which is the only reason the cost of goods hasn’t gone down. I’m confused because the news media push for a rate increase is clearly political! 🤔
Because the FED sees what the rest of us sane Americans see. That the government has been spending trillions more every year over the last ten years on what? Name one thing that has required $10T in deficit spending in the last ten years? I look around and the only thing I can see is welfare for illegals and corruption payments and fraud.
actually, every action taken by all those captured institutions makes perfect sense.
if it’s “anti-Trump”, they do it; if it’s not, they don’t.
the anti-Trumpers count on people blaming PT and his administration for,
say, high gas prices.
they know most people won’t look closely enough to discern that the real cause is
the OPPOSITION to PT.
so, it’s really very easy to understand the “whys” of this and any other controlled agency –
just ask yourself what sabotages PT’s efforts on behalf of the American people?
and they’ll do THAT.🥴
the cheerleaders for it are clearly political, but that does not mean it is the logical course. this is pretty standard, and frankly the rate should be even higher, given the trajectory of inflation and the dollar weakness.
much of this could have been prevented over the last 2 years….
How does raising interest rates lower the price of oil, open the Straits of Hormuz or stop the missile barrage on Saudi oil pumping stations?
It does nothing because the problem is the lower supply of oil not oil consumption, Muley.
Unfortunately, President Trump takes unnecessary risks that gamble our wealth and future based on bad advice. The IEEPA Tariffs were totally illegal and gave Fed Chief Powell the excuse to keep interest rates high for a year until the Supreme Court finally said the tariffs were illegal and ordered a refund. Just as rates stated to drop in February we attacked Iran after destroying their nuclear material last summer driving up the price of oil which, again caused interest rates to rise making the Democrats favorites to win in November’s midterm elections.
Down to basics…
The powers that be, despise the middle class and want to either hurt or destroy us.
Wayne Allyn Root, desperately concerned, as are we, that the 2026 midterm elections will be rigged, has called for President Trump to issue “The NEED Act,” declaring a “National Emergency for Elections Act” under the auspices of the National Emergency Act of 1976.
I suspect that it is too late to effectively implement the infrastructure and organization required to support a national emergency declaration. Lawfare succeeded in securing the continuation of massive voter fraud.
Lawfare and the SCROTUS have boxed in the President on the midterms. Focus on the midterms and election integrity was addressed too late. Declaring a national emergency won’t pass muster. Lawfare would take it immediately to the SCROTUS and the President would lose. The SCROTUS is not our friend nor is it the President’s. Time to flood the zone to beat the cheat.
Yes, he went all in, he deserves every single voter at the polls to yes, flood the zone. He deserves every one of us.
The President went all in and he was the only one. The GOP worked against him, the courts were ready for him, and the FBI and DOJ are still sniffing Melania’s underwear drawer contents.
This was always a law enforcement effort and the FBI and DOJ have openly rebuffed the President. They simply won’t do it. Harmeet Dhillion has moved on after producing who-knows-what and you’re seeing nothing but small-ball election enforcement now. Passing more laws that will be openly broken is pointless if there is no law enforcement. Laws only work if people think they will be enforced.
You don’t steal 20M+ votes without a large conspiracy. Problem is, the government and GOP were in on it. I never expected anything to happen here, not ever.
And I know Mrs. Trump did not sign up for that!
The SCOTUS can and should be ignored in a national emergency. Not their lane.
I totally agree with that. They are the last bunch of putzes you want involved with saving a nation in an emergency. Them and the GOP.
Agree, he should but he won’t. That’s betting the house (the White House), and I don’t believe he’s ready to do that.
You’re probably right but I think he should do just it to out Lawfare and the Supreme Corrupt Court Justices! Force Lawfare to file more challenges! He should test everything to determine if these kind of laws have any real meaning for Republicans/conservatives or are just for show to keep the natives placated? JMO
For those who who still think economic fundamentals are driving prices at the pump in the US ….
Just like that headlines wag up and down in sentiment, yesterday at 10 different outlets… within a day prices at the pump wagged DOWN 10-15 cents with fair-neutral morning headlines and with the headline changes to negative wagged right back UP the very same day, within 4 hours.
The news media in the United States has been pushing the “Iran Won” narrative since the beginning of the conflict because they want President Trump to be humiliated.
In fact, Bloomberg News has been the absolute worst and Michael Bloomberg is a huge sponsor of everything Jewish and Israeli. Bloomberg has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Israeli causes and, yet, he wants Iran to win.
That’s how much they hate us!
Not defending the propaganda media in any way, but Trump brings some of this on himself with endless bloviating. Four months ago Iran was “decimated”, “annihilated”, “obliterated”. Somehow, by the grace and power of allah, they keep blowing stuff up and fighting on. I have no idea how an obliterated nation can still fight so hard. I thought I knew what obliterated meant. I guess not……
Yep
Find the latest Promethean Action 12-min or so video on YouTube. She lays it all out. Everything possible is being done to have President Trump lose the House and the Senate.
“DoJ flips Maduro’s Bag Man … to testify against him”.
The real story is using this guy to ID the sources of the money … Maduro has been flipped as well and this is an inconsequential event with respect to prosecuting Maduro.
Same as Maduro … This guy has no choice now but to sing as he is now on the hit lists because of he knows the origins of the money trails.
Consider … Yesterday it was reported that the dictator of Nicaragua, Manuel Noriega, just had his INTEL Services put out a hit on a “dissident” living in El Salvador.
Steve Hilton says he’d appoint Democrat to Senate seat if elected California governor
GOP California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton says he would appoint a Democrat to fill a US Senate vacancy if elected — in the event of one of the state’s two current Democratic senators leaving office.
Hilton made the pledge during a recent appearance on “Pod Save America,” where host Jon Lovett presented him with a hypothetical vacancy involving either Sen. Alex Padilla or Sen. Adam Schiff.

“Governor Hilton” would have NO CHOICE in the matter because of State Law. So, what would you have him say?? He’d do something illegal??
Same as a democrat Governor from the state of NC or KY.
So … what is your point??
Hilton didn’t point out that he would have no choice because of the state law. He said: “I just think you’ve got to honor the vote that people took,”….
Hopefully he appoints one of the “homeless” that voted in the last election.
Couldn’t do a worse job than Padilla or Shifty-Schiff
Are we as Americans in our venerated Constitutional Republic most threatened by:
Communists
Islamists
AI
Home-grown activist lunatics
Regular intentional demographic replacement
__________
Why?
Or a completely artificially induced wave of panic about the above, all of which are being addressed or are self-limiting entities.
When Adrenalin surges in the body in response to physical danger, one of the first things to be affected is a person’s vision. Same thing seems to happen to a persons perspective when it’s a perceived political or social threat. Worse, the responses this phenomena evinces heighten that threat not help reduce it.

It takes a hard slap to wake some people up
{ Lifelong Democrat Tells Congress She Is ‘Ashamed’ of Her Party After Illegal Alien Truck Driver Licensed in Gavin Newsom’s California Killed Her Newlywed Son and Bride }
Lifelong Republicans look at Mitch McConnell and make the same confession every day as well.
RFKjr. gave a great speech explaining the evolution to evil of the democrat party. Some folks are so tied to the democrat party that it’s almost impossible for them to break away. The party has them in chains.
AI CEOs Vow to Slow Advancement by Releasing ‘Artificial Unintelligence’ Models Based on AOC and Kamala Harris

He needs to arrest insurrectionist judges ???
somehow , we need to figure out a way to get rid of the rogue judges, including those on the Supreme Court. Roberts and KBJ need to be removed – both are incompetent.
The Constitution provides the way, but Congress is too chicken to use it
They aren’t too chicken. It’s running exactly how they like it.
How does this work??
Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government will open up Canada’s four largest airports to private investment, but that Ottawa will maintain ownership of airport land.
Square this circle – how does Canada claim ownership to the land when they declare before every public statement that they are occupying stolen land from the natives?
Reminds one of the Land-O-Lakes butter carton?
I bet he would reject U.S investment though.
Just sayin’….
Picture. Japan
“Ministry deletes anti-terror photo criticized as discriminatory”
-“The photo, posted on Sept. 10, showed a scene from an exercise conducted annually on dealing with a terrorist attack in which civilians are abducted.
In the photo, a man portraying one of the terrorists wears a traditional scarf like that worn by Muslim men.”-

Gratitude is an attitude.
We can encourage our fellow Americans to find three new things each day specifically about the USA for which they are grateful.

“Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday that Thursday’s scheduled House votes are canceled. Lawmakers will likely wrap up votes tonight and leave Washington for a recess lasting until after the November midterms.”
Another paid vacation, ‘courtesy of the red white and blue’….Angry American anyone?
If the Democrats wanted him to keep the House in session just to promote their AI scare campaign hoax hearings….and nothing of importance would be passed anyway….
Then maybe we are better served if they recess so that Republicans can go home to their districts and campaign loud and hard against the real threat….socialism (and their democrat opponents).
“and nothing of importance would be passed”…… in 18 months since Trump was sworn-in. The GOP house and senate are in coordinated political theater. The houses passes stuff they know the senate will not and the senate passes stuff they know the house will never touch.
All of this is to run time off of Trump’s clock and send him into the history books.. Do no damage to the system is the overarching goal. It’s totally disgusting. Lesser of two evils my ass.
Point noted…but, it’s an unrelated point to an election recess.
Many repubs were primaried by maga candidates (or at least better candidates). They need to win the mid term elections.
Isn’t that effort at least more productive than the House in session vote games?
Better yet, do you want the main election messages and campaign topics to be Democrat socialist dangers…or AI hoax?
Aggie, yes!
They just got back… Just stay home give your salary back and let the lobbyist do it ..
they already do!
