From George A A
President Xi remarks:
Noted that many in Washington from both parties and the media are criticizing Trump for meeting with “communist” China while the Democrats becomes the Dem Socialist Party.
Also, where was the criticism of General Milley when he told China that he would warn them if America was to attack and made senior officers swear to not carry out a nuclear attack without consulting him? Nowhere really.
How many of these politicians have been bribed by China. How many in American Industry, But invite Xi to dinner. Out of bounds.
In reality, Trump has fettered Xi’s ambitions in our hemisphere.
“Steven W. Mosher of the New York Post had an interesting take ahead of the dinner, “Don’t be fooled—Trump’s red-carpet rollout for Xi is a strategic coup.”
Mosher wrote, “China’s initiative to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is failing. Xi himself was basically sidelined at this month’s BRICS summit in India; he skipped the obligatory banquet and left a day early. Media apologists claimed he was tired, but it’s more likely that he was just tired of being ignored.
“Now, just two weeks later, the American president’s impressive show of hospitality—giving him face, as it’s known in Chinese culture—not only massages Xi’s ego, it also provides useful propaganda fodder for his captive audience back in China.
“And it costs America nothing.
“Trump, on the other hand, has cost China dearly. He has radically reduced China’s inroads into the Western Hemisphere, ousting its agents from Venezuela and the Panama Canal. With the Cuban dictatorship apparently unable to keep the lights on, and China now permanently shut out of Greenland, Beijing’s losses in the Americas appear certain to keep piling up.”

Except Canada is aligning itself with China.
So? That’s like Haiti aligning with us.
A lot of the butch UNIPARTY hacks criticizing the meeting are on China’s payroll, which is about as perfect a metaphor for the DC Dog & Pony Show as Yu can get.
ps; if he didn’t meet, they would bitch about the ‘dangerous lack of diplomacy’. It doesn’t matter what they say, it’s all guano.gov
Similar situation with Iran. If PDJT doesn’t ensure Iran ‘never gets a nuclear weapon ‘ the moonbats would endorse impeachment due to a dereliction of duty.
The warmongers at “conservative” Newsmax did not waste any time to jump on the Russia-Russia bandwagon of the EU after it was announced that the Russians have been invited to the G20 summit. This aligns with their professed love of Z-Man.
The is an article WRITTEN BY NEWSMAX … claiming that “there is a rumor, there may be a report, maybe written by the CIA, that just maybe the Russians are planning to launch light drones from the Sea vs France … and that this report just may be on the desk of the CIA director … for good measure and just after the Greenland Deal is announced then the article outlines all the recent bead clutching by a worried Denmark over the EU Russian Boogieman.”
I took Newsmax off of my listen list after hearing a segment a couple of weeks ago painting Russia as warmongering aggressors beating up on poor innocent Ukraine instead of presenting the real story, that Russia was liberating the Eastern provinces who want desperately to secede from the most corrupt country of the last millennium+. That position is my favorite “tell” on who is on the wrong side of geopolitical issues of the day, along with an outlet’s position on electoral fraud and the Covid scam.
The completion of the downfall of Newsmax began with their much advertised IPO. Starting a few months before the IPO was issued, Newsmax took a decided turn to the dark side in their reporting .. becoming a mix of deep state positions along with “cut and paste” reporting of democrat favorable articles.
After the IPO …. It seems the value of their stock is now directly proportional to the content of their stories.
Suggest not cutting them off as they do provide tells as to where the bad guys are headed.
It’s a pretty consistently effective strategic business model – develop a following with right-leaning content, and then do an IPO where leftist investors with too much money will pay a large premium at IPO just to remove you from the market. See also Drudgereport, Breitbart, and Fox…..
President Trump will be in Mobile on Fri Oct 2nd at 6:00pm at the Mitchell Center on the USA campus.
Wow! Gonna cross the Bay for that!
Come on over BC neighbor!
Wave if you see me.
Gonna be in Knoxville tomorrow for the Vols playing the fighting loonies from Austin.
They should be done by 10/2 so come on down to Mobile.
With the midterm election so close, I hope that President Trump is telling the chinese leader, to his face, that there is going to be very real and deep ramifications if they interfere with our elections.
I don’t think it’s China you have to worry about when the Republicans are doing a good job of sabotage themselves!
When elections are won or lost by the slimmest of margins, every little bit that can be addressed moves the odds in a favorable direction.
Vote against the commies, vote against the democrats, vote against the death cult.
yep. we’re gearing up to do much like the bolshevists by not learning anything from the results. it’ll be china china china and the vast oil pricing conspracy or the vast CIA psyop conspiracy paying tucker and the alt media… never looking inward at how one constituency after another that brought trump back to power, has been shoved away and told their core issues are invalid.
You are shoved by china’s bought congress, and locally implanted representatives where the old money families benefit from the current system and do not want change.
It’s not trump trump trump
True, China is knelt already and are repositioning themselves to still have a trade place with us.
Our issue is chinas backup plan of just purchasing congress
Correction: Not sabotaging themselves, just sabotaging the people. They are keeping their own best interests in mind, always!
MUST READ: Sasha Latypova foreword to Dr. Helmut Sterz’s “Vaccine Mafia” book, coming out shortly in English from Skyhorse Publishing (Children’s Health Defense).
https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/my-foreword-to-dr-helmut-sterzs-vaccine?r=b7nwz&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
Every now and again through my reading, I am led through a few links to a real gem. A timely one….
And as we’ve reached the stage where the word “Revolution” (in America) is used more and more, this treatise…I cannot call it an essay…written by the late, very much lamented, remarkable Angelo Codevilla in 2010 is a very long dissection of the domestic enemies and their moral turpitude which the Founding Fathers warned of.
Both the Republican and Democrat parties and their self entitled oligarchs.
In this masterpiece, Mr Codevilla was exposing what then might have been obscured, but which now is clear and visible.
From the treatise, he validates the prescient Orwell.
“Our ruling class’s agenda is power. While it stakes its claim through intellectual-moral pretense, it holds power by one of the most prosaic of means: patronage and promises thereof.”
I warn that this is at least a two plus ☕ ☕ ☕ read. Illuminating and damning.
(Mr Codevilla’s shocking death five years ago raised eyebrows. And so , first, I am including as background a short article from today’s FrontPage Magazine which questions it and outlines his history dealing with the Deep State.)
https://www.frontpagemag.com/an-inquiry-into-the-curious-death-of-angelo-codevilla/
https://www.independent.org/article/2010/07/15/americas-ruling-classand-the-perils-of-revolution/
Have always believed Codevilla was eliminated, just like Andrew B. and his father in law, Orson Bean.
Now see, Righted? There is never a time, as I keep repeating, when I come here and don’t leave with new (to me) facts or information. I had no idea that Orson Bean was his father in law.
We will never know I suspect.
Another to add to a growing list of those who passed with “indeterminate” causes.
Anything with his by line drew immediate attention. A huge loss.
Prof. Codevilla was an Intel Agency White Hat. Fiercely independent and patriotic, he wrote papers that the Agency hated.
He wrote a famous essay America’s Ruling Class, which was picked up by Rush.
He was stalked by Commie Comey and Khobar Brennan at his lectures. The Patriot Front/Quantico Grads would ask him leading questions, trying to get him to incriminate himself in order to open one of their patented Counter-Intelligence Ops, sometimes described as “investigations”, but which are really just straight-up Gestapo Enemies List targeting.
The he caught a particularly virulent case of Gates/Epstein COVID.
After recovering, his car went across three lanes to crash into a parked truck.
Rest in the Vine: Professor Angelo Codevilla, American. R.I.P.
I do hope friends will read it, Gipper.
I found it through one of the comments on the FrontPage article I left above and knew brothers and sisters here would find it interesting.
Covid would the a convenient excuse I suppose…though I seriously doubt that would contribute to his accident. We will never know.
I think Diogenes with his lamp searching for an honest man would have been able to stop had he run into Professor Codevilla.
The first victorious recognition in a court of law which confirms that a baby in utero is a person.
Which all babies, born and unborn, are.
Precedent has been set.
Glory to our Father on Heaven in Whose Image we all are made 🙏🏻

Redo this every year at Our church. I always name one boy and one girl.
This is a huge victory!! I am seeing a lot of articles lately that are pushing back against the feminist agenda of the past sixty years, finally recognizing the damage that it has done to so many women and so many MILLIONS of babies whose lives were ended before they began, all in the name of “choice”!
This is one of the most poignant ones and I think you will appreciate it!
https://substack.com/@elisabethstonee/note/c-331733093?
I thank you, dear mom, for thinking I would appreciate it.. I most assuredly did. She managed to encapsulate every thought I’ve had about the godlessness of “feminism”. Every single one.
God I’m sure did not create the two sexes to be competitors, but two halves of a whole.
Feminism is just another ideological -ism to add to the never ending list of life crushing “-isms”…
Communism, Liberalism, Progressivism, Marxism, Fascism, Islamism…Feminism.
Yes this is a bittersweet victory, but a victory nonetheless. If the only way to put an end to the wholesale slaughter of innocents is to sue, convict, then bankrupt those who offer and conduct murders with no fear of earthly consequences, so be it.
(No thought is ever given to the fathers of these murdered innocents who may have wanted their children but were given no say in stopping the bloodshed. There have been many.)
Would that we could make born and unborn babies an endangered species.
Surely we are more important than tigers, rhinos, whales or eagles?
I saw a meme today, sis, which said liberals (most likely women) want to stop lobster consumption because they feel pain when immersed in boiling water.
It went on to say “Now do the pre-born.”
Which of course they will not.
Excellent point.
This is a great place to shamelessly promote this place:
My Boston talk radio host Howie Carr runs ads for this place called “Pre-Born”.
They seek donations to pay for ultra sounds for women considering abortions.
Statistically if the mother sees her baby on an ultra sound image, she’s far less likely to abort her baby.
So they work to make far more ultra sounds possible.
If anyone is the donating type, this is a good one, you maybe saving a life.

Glenn Beck promotes this organization also.
The human female is the only mammal that is capable of having sex nearly 365 days per year.
Even when she is not in a fertile cycle or is even pregnant, she can accomodate the male, sexually.
There are reasons for this.
In history and in culture women have been denied the right to refuse sexual relations to their partners or husbands.
If a woman becomes pregnant against her will or in spite of using the best available birth control do you truely believe she should carry and deliver a baby/child she does not want, cannot afford or care for?
Years ago I approached a group protesting at a clinic which provided birth control, various health screenings and abortion. I told these protesters I was pregnant, unwed, and could not care for a baby. Told them I did not want and abortion and asked for help.
Guess how many offered to help.
Every pregnancy should be welcomed. All are not.
Women must have an option.
12wks used to be the cut off for abortion.
It should be now. Except in rare and individual cases.
A pregnancy can be ended much earlier if your cycle is predictable and you are paying attention.
The babies who are not born simply return to God. Just as still borns or miscarriages do.
Their souls, just like yours are immortal.
I’m getting a lot of bad comments on X for saying that POTUS is helping the farmers. Apparently bankruptcies have risen and fuel, fertilizer prices , and tariffs are really hurting them.
Does anyone have info on this? Is it just a matter of finishing the war with Iran or what?
X is infested with bots and leftists swarming anything positive and spewing lies and BS and twisting things in an attempt to turn people to vote for communists or not vote at all.
Take for example fertilizer prices – the President recently suspended duties on phosphate fertilizer from Morocco to help with prices and supplies. Tariffs aren’t harming farmers or ranchers. Diesel prices are a temporary burden (temporary because they aren’t permanent). Many of the bankruptcies that are happening are a result of Autopen policies and the recent droughts (for example when the ranchers several years ago had to sell all their herds off due to the drought).
If you need source data regarding what the President and his administration is doing, I would suggest a good starting point is here:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/news/page/2/?s=farmers
Most of these people have to include a barrage of insults but few facts. I did find out that the fertilizer from Belaruse isn’t going to happen – at least so far. Mostly I’m accused of being a cult moron etc.
Sounds like they need the response “I know you are”
How about “your stupid ass voted for a mental invalid?”
I’m very sorry you voted for obammy twice and his ‘tater.
But I refuse to call you a stupid ass.
Never argue with trolls and morons. Simply drop facts with sourced data and let them howl like the monkeys they are 😉
👍
I wonder if Nextdoor is also infested? There have been quite a few positive comments that Talafreako would be a great senator for the state of Texas. I find it hard to believe that anyone would vote for this freak other than mentally ill and crazy people.
The cheaters will.
I poked around Nextdoor once, which was more than enough – found it was filled with folks who use IV’s plugged into MSM and believe whatever the press says. Should have known as a neighbor, who is a hard leftist, suggested it during one of our infrequent yard chats…
Oh Lord, Nextdoor. I dropped them like a hot potato during the COVID scam. Just remember, everything the Dems/Libs/Progs touch turns to siht.
It gets worse. Hold on.
Being bitter took time to get there. Well earned. We can’t always get what we want

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE BELONG TO US – The real motive of the Lindsay Clancy trial, pink-shirted jurors, and the state.
The Lindsay Clancy case – and the “We all could be Lindsay” pink-shirted women – is leading to a government surveillance of families based on “mental health” (and the very rare condition of post-partum psychosis.)
Massachusetts Governor Seeks $2 Million Aiming to Offer Free Nurse Home Visits to Families of All 68,000 Newborns
https://www.medicaldaily.com/massachusetts-free-nurse-home-visits-postpartum-478793
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey wants every family with a newborn to be offered a free home visit from a nurse, part of a postpartum mental health plan she announced Tuesday at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Healey said she will ask lawmakers for $2 million to expand the state’s Welcome Family program, which now serves about 3,000 births a year. The goal is to make visits available to families of the roughly 68,000 babies born in Massachusetts each year, according to the Associated Press.
“To every mom who has struggled with her mental health before, during or after pregnancy, I want you to know we see you,” Healey said, adding, “I see you.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Socialist countries have government funded visits to check up on a new mother and kids. About 19 years ago, Michael Moore was touting this system:
Remember this? – Starts at the 2-minute mark

Massachusetts Governor Defends State Taking Catholic Couple’s Daughter Away
After They Refused to Call Her a Boy * The Gateway Pundit:
“Democrat Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is defending the Department of Children and Families after Catholic parents accused the state of seizing their teenage daughter because they would not refer to her as a boy.
Healey told reporters the removal had nothing to do with gender, but the family’s lawyer says that is not true.
Joseph and Arlene Kutzko of Southborough say they have not spoken to their daughter, Sophie, since late 2024.
The child was 15 when DCF took her, and she is now 17.
The couple claims that Algonquin Regional High School began using a male name and pronouns for their daughter without telling them.
They have said that a school counselor reported the family after they refused, on Catholic and scientific grounds, to treat the girl as a boy.
“They exposed our daughter to teachings on LGBTQ and topics that conflict with our Catholic beliefs about human dignity, creation as male and female in Catholic teaching,” Joseph Kutzko said on the Lighthouse Faith podcast.
Massachusetts law allows schools to use a student’s chosen name and pronouns without notifying parents, a practice that has survived federal court challenges in other cases.
The parents say DCF has housed Sophie in a boys’ dormitory, put her on birth control and psychiatric drugs, and kept her from Sunday Mass.
A permanent restraining order bars the parents and an older brother from contact.
Attorney Vernadette Broyles of the Child and Parental Rights Campaign says the state is now seeking court permission to give the girl high-dose testosterone. A judge temporarily blocked that treatment. The next hearing is October 29.
Healey was asked about the case after an event in Boston this week.
“Let me be clear about the facts in that matter,” she said, according to a Boston Herald report. “First of all, DCF did not remove the child because of a health issue or a gender-affirming care issue. DCF removed the child after there were criminal charges filed against the parents, including the father. As you know, DCF is responsible for the care and well-being of kids, and that’s what happened in this instance.”
Healey added that the matter is “currently a subject of criminal prosecution right now against the parents,” then declined further comment while insisting the child “was not removed because of a gender-affirming care issue.”
When pressed about whether DCF is helping the teen medically transition, Healey said she could not comment.
A DCF spokesperson told WBUR that refusing to support a gender transition would not, by itself, be grounds to remove a child.
Broyles told the Herald that Healey is misrepresenting the facts of the case.
“It’s very dishonest, because there are no standing charges against them,” she said. “There is no finding that these parents have committed any abuse against this child in the criminal court, nor is there any supported allegations of abuse or neglect against them, even in the juvenile court.”
Broyles said an unknown adult hired a lawyer for the girl and helped her obtain a restraining order in Marlborough District Court after the child was already out of the home.
“They’re a very well-known, very Catholic, devout family,” Broyles said. “Dad is a scientist and has science-based objections to the idea of ever telling a child that you can change sex because that’s impossible, as well as faith-based objections.”
The family’s short-term goal, Joseph Kutzko said on Fox, is to keep her off of sex change hormones.
“The most important thing is to bring her back to our family. But a shorter-term goal is to prevent them from giving her testosterone.”
Broyles said the state is trying to “poison this young lady with testosterone” that can cause infertility, cardiovascular harm, and irreversible changes.
“We are actively fighting in court to keep them from really poisoning this young lady with testosterone that would have the capacity to cause her to become potentially infertile, would harm her cardiovascular system, and would have a number of irreversible effects and harms to her body,” Boyer said, according to a report from Life News.
Under Massachusetts law, DCF can seek court authorization for treatment a parent will not approve.
Healey has spent years branding Massachusetts a sanctuary for “gender-affirming care.”
In 2025, Healey signed what she called the strongest shield law in the country for providers of sex change surgeries and treatments, as well as abortion.” …….
I’m sorry, but if someone did that to my family, I would go full on Rambo from the first of the series. This is literal insanity.
What if the child wanted to identify as an alcoholic or a smoker? Does that mean it’s ok?
None of this is debatable. I’m actually disgusted I have to type these things out.
“Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil.” Exodus 23:1-2
Another aspect of ‘safety versus liberty, chosing safety, deserve neither…”
Another attempt at surveillance.
43 some odd years ago, overwhelmed with the first little one…I did not want some “nurse” from a government agency…(I was offered one from the USN/CHAMPUS…???!!!)…I was 23 and wanted my mom…My MOM!
And may she rest in peace, she was there for me…!!!
We need another layer of government? No, we need to Make Families Great Again…along with family values…helping each other, with Divine Intervention…and yes being aware of those extraneous awful things that happen in families…
In MA, these visits will wind up targeting Trump supporters, Christians, gun owners, families with large dogs, junk food, anything these people don’t like the looks of will get documented.
This is highly dangerous in a deep blue Commie state like MA.
And this idea is being wildly rejected right now in MA.
Howie Carr on Boston radion had a poll question of the day about this and 97% said NO.
NO one wants the nurses that were the types we just saw in this jury coming into your HOME !!
AND as Howie was pointing out: they won’t be going onto the ghettos looking at the gang bangers new babies, or the low income projects,, they’ll go to the homes in the high end white suburban neighborhoods.. and then go on a research gathering mission in their home.
Howie feels this isn’t going to happen because there are legal issues with it.
Supreme Court Clears Trump Admin to Use Voter Citizenship Verification
The Supreme Court on Sept. 25 said the Trump administration can use an updated immigration database to verify the citizenship of voters.
Six justices approved the administration’s request for a stay of a lower court order. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-clears-trump-admin-to-use-voter-citizenship-verification-6094929
Can we do this in time for the midterms?
No
Election law experts note that the practical impact for the upcoming midterm elections is limited because federal law (the National Voter Registration Act) generally blocks large-scale voter purges in the weeks right before an election. States can still perform individualized queries.
Google the list of states that didn’t turn over voter rolls. Those won’t do individual queries.

The feckless Republicans can always be counted on by the Democrats!
But Thune kept Harry Reid’s girl.
And promised to keep the Filibuster in his maiden speech, to ensure that Democrats stay in power.
He tried to blame it on the Framers, but they refused to put a 60-vote supermajority clause in the Constitution. They assumed a 51-vote majority.
John Thune wants America destroyed every bit as much as any other Communist, Globalist, Taliban or satanist.
What a sack of F’ery.
I hope Republicans hold the Senate and find a new leader. Senator Lee seems to be a good fit. I am sure there are others.
When those occupying office relentlessly work to stab you in the back, thus demonstrating who they are — Believe them.
The parliamentarian can be overridden by a simple majority vote.
However, just as with the filibuster, Goon refuses to pursue the option.
He doesn’t realize that his malicious actions effect not just we the people – but will affect his own family as well.
The Republican senators–all of them–just go along with it.

The studio had evolved from a KVN (Club of the Funny and Inventive) team in Kryvyi Rih in 1997 into what biographers call a “comedy factory” and “the most successful production studio in Ukraine.” Make the Comedian Laugh launched in 2013 as one of the studio’s key formats, alongside the flagship Evening Kvartal (128 episodes, 2005–2020), League of Laughter, and Chisto News.

Re: traffic Cameras, fines, lack of legal due process for the accused
Years ago,
Some people refused to pay fines that were sent to them in the mail from digital speed cameras,
due to the inability to have equal due process – the opportunity to meet the accuser (see / scrutinize the software of the computer / camera )
So, then, the gov’t in its desire to get money from people ( not about public safety )
utilized an over reach via a reduction in income tax returns to those individuals, i.e. seizing the fines from income tax refunds.
After years… that public over reach is being reversed.
A district court judge ordered the City of Des Moines
to pay restitution to drivers whose state income tax refunds were seized for failing to pay overdue automated traffic enforcement camera citations, potentially ending nearly a decade of litigation.
p.s.
since cameras take a picture of a license plate,
some are not sure whom was driving the vehicle at the time.
So, the refunding of a fine, could become an issue too.
( at the cost of taxpayers, again )

for those who access the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) online, to pay taxes, review filings, statements, etc. the agency has a new app for accessing the site on one’s mobile device. (I am assuming their desktop link remains as it was, until further notice from the agency.)

Exactly!!!!
exactly.
but, some will use it so best to at least have the link to the actual site, but yeah.

I will believe it when I see it. Donchya know there is a nursing shortage/s…(nurses are refusing to work in hospitals that are private equity based, way too hostile…that is why there is the ‘shortage’)…they gotta get nurses from somewhere….
There should be burden of proof on the company at a minimum. Showing they absolutely can’t find an American worker before any visa can even be considered.

Only American citizens should be voting in U.S. Elections. Purge the voter rolls.

Just more “window dressing” in attempt to convince voters that something is being done to secure our elections:
1.) We are out of time… this is too late to have any real effect…
2.) Remember, 30 States and Washington D.C. have refused to turn over voter rolls to the FEC…
3.) And remember: 38 States will still use the fraudulent voting machines to count your ballots…
The truth of the matter is that our federal “government” doesn’t want us to have valid elections…

Sixty vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, a US defence official tells Al Jazeera.
The vessels carried the largest daily volume of oil since early July, the official added
But they’re Only Fans (ewww, threw up in my mouth a little.)
That’s better than what’s in their mouths…

Comments from Pritzker in 3, 2, 1….
And the race/gender card…
And Dick Durbin…ah, his time is short…can’t retire fast enough…
And a hog farm welcomes a couple of their sows back.
Three dissenters…aka the Usual Suspects.
What is a “curiam decision”…
Funny how the three Bolsheviks always stick with the Democrat program and our six can’t wait to play musical Leftists and vote against President Trump!
A crib sheet to use to ask any erstwhile MAGA voter who has foolishly declared his or her intention to “sit the midterms out” because gas and diesel are too high.
Banned new refineries, too, which are exactly what we need now.
….with applause and votes
..from ‘climate change’
fear mongers and
supposed
‘green energy’ supporters
( and thereby fossil fuel dislikers)….
In January 2008, Barack Obama stated that under his proposed cap-and-trade system, electricity
rates would
“necessarily skyrocket”
because power plants would incur costs to retrofit operations, which they would pass
on to consumers.
…the above was with applause and with votes for b o…
Flash forward to Sept 2026,
and some of the same people
( without a true moral compass )
now dislike
high fossil fuel prices?
[ and would today use the high price as an excuse to vote for democrat
… instead of voting whom they blame today
but, high fossil fuel price is what they wanted in ’08.]
…moral relativism…just floats around topics…
while
their hidden desire to reduce freedom
( via vote for c-dem, regardless
of ever changing position$, words….)
is steady
( and unhelpful for the USA – and they know it,
but, out of fear of not being liked,
do not succinctly say
it in real time
…yet…)
Imho
hmmm…
p.s.
how did that c-dem campaign promise in 2020,
of forgiving college student loans
work out?
It got c-dems some votes…
( but the c-dem promise did not happen ).
i.e.
do not take any shiny object, c-dem, wooden nickels…
Imho
Another very pertinent question would be:
What the hell do you think is going to happen if you sit out and the communist take control?
A follow-up point to ponder for them would be:
If you think the temporary prices of gas and diesel is high now and were honest with yourself – you would know that not only their prices – but that of everything else will skyrocket and the nation will go to hell…

CONFIRMED: WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT ABOUT CHINA ELECTION OPS DEEMED CREDIBLE BY INTEL COMMUNITY WATCHDOG
In April, I exclusively reported on a whistleblower complaint alleging intelligence about China’s sweeping 2020 election influence operations was suppressed, and there was broad retaliation against the whistleblower.
China’s goal was to “impede” President Trump’s re-election and “denigrate” him as a candidate.
I have since learned that the intelligence community’s inspector general (ICIG) has determined the complaint is credible.
The public affairs office for the ICIG provided a statement:
“Consistent with longstanding policy and practice, IC OIG can neither confirm nor deny the existence of investigations, including urgent concerns to Congress. Our Office is committed to maintaining the integrity of our oversight activities and taking swift action on any claims of reprisal or retaliation against whistleblowers.”

-“GOOD RIDDANCE: 300 of 400 DOJ Civil Rights Attorneys QUIT Rather Than Clean America’s Voter Rolls and KILL DEI — Dhillon Says They “Self-Deported”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/09/good-riddance-300-400-doj-civil-rights-attorneys/
I hope “quit” means no longer employed by the Federal Government and not that they just moved on to another Federal agency/position.
Can’t happen. They would have to re-apply for their old jobs or other positions if available. That said, it takes about a month to process paperwork for outgoing employees, and 4-12 months to fill vacant positions, so the 25% left are gonna have a tough time picking up the slack.
Wonder if the President can call up JAG officers from the Reserves to serve until more lawyers can be hired. And why couldn’t that 4-12 months process be shortened considerably by the President via an E.O.?
Seems the Canadians, well at least some have seen through the house of Mark Carney.
Familiar points being discussed 🫡🫡😉😉
I’m looking for a single specific data point. Hope someone on CTH can help.
the morning of Jan 6 VP Pence sent a “Dear Colleague “ letter explaining that he would not be disrupting the traditional election certification process. What time did that communication go out? I’m assuming it was an electronic message so want exact time.

Who?
kidding. Sorry, don’t have that detail.
But I do know the Framers chose a Constitutional Officer (the VP) on purpose. Any clerk could have rubberstamped the count. But they presumed he would be a man of honor who would ensure the will of the People was honored.
Instead, we got another UNIPARTY reprobate grifter. Here, on the dais, Pence receives his 33rd Degree Masonic Coin for treachery.
Bribes aside, he has one claim to fame: he’s the only veep we know of who was secretly working to lose his own reelection.
Based on several deep searches the best answer I could find is this one:
Specifically, the letter was distributed on the House floor and issued publicly just before Vice President Pence convened the joint session of Congress at approximately 1:05 p.m. ET.
Two Ole Miss Students Found Dead With Packaged Kratom at the Scene,
Arrests Made at Local Business * The Gateway Pundit
“… Over the weekend, two University of Mississippi, Ole Miss, students were found dead, and the drug kratom was found at the scene, although it is unclear whether it was involved. …
Three people have been arrested, and agents seized “more than 500 units of kratom, along with an assortment of THC cartridges, gummies, and other suspected narcotics,” according to an Oxford police statement.
“During the investigation, Metro Narcotics agents were able to conduct a controlled purchase of illegal substances from the business. Based upon evidence obtained during the investigation, agents applied for and were granted a search warrant.”
“Law enforcement officers subsequently executed the search warrant at Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store, located in the 100 block of Heritage Drive in Oxford.”
“During the search, agents recovered more than 500 units of kratom, along with an assortment of THC cartridges, gummies, and other suspected narcotics. Kratom has been prohibited from possession, distribution, and sale within the City of Oxford since 2019.”
“Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51, of Oxford, and Islam Mohamed, 18, of Oxford, were arrested and charged with possession of Schedule I controlled substances with intent to distribute. In 2022, the business owner, Amer Alowdi, 40 years old, was indicted for trafficking narcotics.”
“Alowdi fled the country before prosecution. Additional charges may be forthcoming as the investigation continues.” …….
8 Sailors in Lincoln Strike Group Attempted Suicide During Lengthy Deployment: Acting Navy Secretary
Timothy Frudd
9/24/2026|Updated: 9/24/2026
Eight U.S. Navy sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group attempted suicide during an extended deployment, according to acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao.
In a Sept. 22 letter to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Cao confirmed that there had been eight suicide attempts since the Lincoln deployed in November 2025. The aircraft carrier was relieved in the Middle East last month by the USS George Washington following reports of sailors facing deteriorating conditions and mental health challenges.
The Lincoln had been operating in the waters of the Middle East since January and supported U.S. forces throughout the war with Iran after the launch of Operation Epic Fury in February. After 286 days at sea, the Lincoln arrived in Thailand for a port call on Sept. 2 before heading back to the United States.
Cao told Gillibrand that no suicides had taken place on the Lincoln or the ships included in its strike group.
“Since the beginning of LINCOLN’s deployment, there have been a total of eight suicide attempts across the strike group—this number includes the LINCOLN crew and Sailors from the carrier air wing, strike group and destroyer squadron staff, escorting destroyers, and all embarked aviation squadrons,” Cao wrote in Tuesday’s letter.
Gillibrand’s office claimed that the Navy secretary’s admission came after President Donald Trump and other administration officials dismissed complaints regarding the conditions on the Lincoln.
Hegseth Pushes Back on Reports of Deteriorating Conditions Aboard Aircraft Carrier Lincoln
Following allegations of growing suicide risks, food rationing, and broken laundry and toilet facilities aboard the Lincoln in August, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the conditions had been “completely misrepresented.”
U.S. Central Command also denied reports from media outlets, saying reports suggesting a spike in suicidal thoughts and a report alleging that seven sailors had died in a fight on the aircraft carrier were false.
Gillibrand accused the Trump administration of failing to take care of service members.
“What Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismissed as ‘fake news’ turned out to be serious and deteriorating conditions for our service members,” Gillibrand said in a statement on Sept. 24.
“Our troops and their families make immense sacrifices every single day, yet the president dismissed them with open disrespect.”
Cao’s letter to Gillibrand came in response to a letter that Gillibrand and a group of 14 other lawmakers sent to Hegseth last month demanding answers on the conditions of the Lincoln.
The sailors assigned to the Lincoln strike group “demonstrated exceptional resolve under demanding conditions,” Cao said.
“Operational decisions to extend deployments are never made lightly; they are driven by dynamic global security environments and absolute necessity of protecting U.S. national security interests and our personnel and our allies abroad,” he wrote.
Cao told Gillibrand that the Lincoln was deployed with five chaplains, three behavioral health technicians, one clinical social worker, one psychologist, one embedded integrated prevention counselor, and one expeditionary facility dog.
The acting Navy secretary also noted that a sailor assigned to the air wing went overboard in early August but was quickly recovered, received medical treatment, and was transferred off ship for additional care. In addition, another sailor had previously attempted to go overboard in March but was stopped by other sailors, Cao said.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, criticized the Trump administration for not reporting the number of suicide attempts sooner.
“There has been no administration that is less transparent,” he told reporters on Sept. 24.
Warner said that while U.S. sailors will “do their job,” they typically expect a six-month deployment.
The Epoch Times reached out to the Pentagon and the Navy for comment and did not receive a response before publication time.
Don’t remember this level of outrage from the Democrat Party when 13 US servicemen were killed in the botched pullout of Afghanistan.
As I said previously, there’s no split in the Administration over Iran so that story arc is reconfigured by the MSM to attack SoW Hegseth instead.
Fetterman’s cross over vote suggests he’s realised what the future holds for Iran, and the consequences for people who support the DS narrative of those plucky, murderous, medieval throwbacks humiliating OMB, just before the regime collapses.
Warner said that while U.S. sailors will “do their job,” they typically expect a six-month deployment.
BS – they expect that they will be asked to do what is required given the situation they are involved in and offer their lives in the service of their nation when they sign up. It is far from the only time deployments lasted considerably beyond 6 months…
During WWII, the USS Hornet (CV-12), an Essex-class aircraft carrier remained operational in the Pacific for 495 consecutive days without returning to the United States.
MOST WW2 VETERANS DO NOT Talk About ” HOW they FELT ” – They GOT MAD and COMPLETED THEIR MISSION
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Exactly. If they are pho-k ups then they can be (and should be) booted out of service. Replacements can easily be flown in. In a sense, good thing they showed their hand sooner and not later. Plenty of good people ready to serve.

Blue Collar steve-thats it!
Steve – your email address looks suspish. That’s probably why it’s not clearing the filters. I put this one through, so the next approvals should be automatic.
ETA…the next time you make a comment, fill in the spaces with the name you wish to use and your original email address. It might have to come up for approval again, because it’s having to reregister your info again, but one of us will try and approve it asap. I could correct it for you here, but it would only be good for a “one time” use. For it to be permanently corrected, YOU have to do it.
Your avatar makes me smile every time I see it. The look on the face and tip of the hat are perfect!

That is so effing funny.
Our elected offials work really hard for us and the $ ain’t that great.
They deserve some perks and down time.
