Dear KMAG: 20250630 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

plegometer

noun

  • instrument for measuring the strength of a blow
  • device for measuring the force of a blow or stroke

Used in a sentence (from 1897)

In 1839, a meeting of the Miners’ Society was held at Redruth, and a wish was expressed that the duty might be calculated on a stroke measured by a plegometer instead of the method of ascertaining the number of strokes by a counter.

Not shown in a somewhat related video


MUSIC!

Some cool Wheatie epic orchestral music during this hot summer!


THE STUFF

This bears watching again!

The importance of Truth is clear to Elon, and he’s spreading the word.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Pharoah’s Curse Fungus Yields Breakthrough in Blood Cancer Treatment

In a stunning discovery, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have harnessed a deadly fungus, once blamed for the “Pharaoh’s Curse,” to develop a promising new treatment for blood cancer.

This breakthrough, rooted in a toxin produced by the Aspergillus flavus mold, could offer hope to patients battling leukemia.

The story begins in the 1920s, when famed archaeologist Howard Carter opened King Tutankhamun’s tomb, an event followed by the mysterious deaths of eight team members. Whispers of a “Pharaoh’s Curse” spread, but medical experts suspected a fungal culprit.

Decades later, the excavation of King Casimir IV of Poland’s tomb in the 1970s confirmed these suspicions. Four of twelve archaeologists died within weeks, and investigators pinpointed Aspergillus flavus, a highly toxic fungus, as the cause. This mold produces asperigimycin, a toxin lethal to lung tissue but now showing remarkable potential in cancer research.

The University of Pennsylvania team discovered that asperigimycin is exceptionally effective at destroying leukemia cells in lab tests. However, the toxin required modification to become a viable cancer therapy.

Using a cutting-edge technique known as ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), the researchers engineered asperigimycin peptides.

These peptide chains of amino acids are produced by cellular ribosomes, then enhanced with enzymes and lipids, enabling them to target and attach to leukemia cells, disrupting their ability to divide.

The results are promising, but researchers emphasized the modified peptides effectively combat certain leukemia cells while showing no effect against liver, breast, or lung cancer cells…

This treatment has precedent with existing FDA-approved cancer treatments like cytarabine, derived from a sea sponge, and daunorubicin, sourced from a bacterium.

The next steps involve developing a compound-based drug for animal testing. If successful, the treatment could advance to human clinical trials, bringing researchers closer to a new therapy in the fight against blood cancer.

As the team moves forward, their work offers a beacon of hope for leukemia patients, showing that even ancient curses can yield modern miracles.

God’s favorite geometric shape is the circle/sphere. No beginning and no end, just like Him. And many areas of our existence come back on themselves, where they started. Like this mold that began in death and comes back to give life/hope.

Are we blessed, or what?  😇 

patfrederick

this is promising news!
I wonder why they are downplaying this discovery: no effect against liver beast, or lung cancer cells.
celebrate what you found!! the people with leukemia have HOPE!

Musk got riled up and involved for two things: his daughter transitioning and it becoming evident the Left was engaged in free speech suppression.

OK–I spotted my mistake, just barely, before I posted. Vivian Musk transitioned TO female and was therefore born male. I decided to leave it as is (and to add this paragraph) to show how effing confusing the whole mess can be.

Gudthots

Right now he is riled up because solar/batteries are essential in his world view and the BBB took away some of the incentives. He says carbon credits is needed to get the big corporations to build gigafactories.

I haven’t watched the video, but I’m not concerned about the world needing a “sustainable energy future.” It sounds like something climate alarmists come up with, and talk about a need for carbon credits is a red flag for me.

Gudthots

I’m not promoting a view, I’m trying to understand from his perspective what he is seeing that would make him move in this direction.

What he’s seeing and thinking about is so foreign to typical world view discussion and it’s informed by insights into technologies I know barely anything about.

I’m in the information gathering stage.

Yes, I understood that. I’m surprised he is being so adamant about it.

Solar electric generation seems less likely on Mars, IMHO.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

less atmospheric attenuation, fewer clouds. But they will be less than half as efficient per square meter than they are here due to the greater distance, and Mars has lots of blowing dust which must be removed…and a sandstorm will fubar you unless you have GIGANTIC battery storage.

Barb Meier

Thank you, Steve!!! I don’t think Elon is ready to send colonists to live on Mars.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I suspect that even he would want to send a nuke along.

Barb Meier

I wonder if it would be harder to create nukes on Mars. We haven’t sent nuclear power into space yet, have we? It would seem helpful.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

We’d absolutely have to send the nuke.

No way we could sent the infrastructure necessary to build it as part of the mission–that’s heavy industry. (Adn enriching the uranium would be a gigantic undertaking on top of constructing the power plant.) Besides, I don’t think we’ve identified either a uranium or a thorium deposit ANYWHERE off Earth, much less Mars.

“I haven’t watched the video, but I’m not concerned about the world needing a “sustainable energy future.” ”

____________

The energy needs (current and especially projected) are being driven by A.I., which will require huge amounts of energy. Along with the driverless EVs and Optimus robots.

All the climate alarmists, for years, were saying how the energy needed to mine Bitcoin was going to boil the oceans. 🙄

As soon as A.I. became commercially viable, all the Leftist / earth mother / granolas complaining about Bitcoin mining suddenly stopped.

Because TPTB want A.I.

And A.I. uses exponentially more power than Bitcoin ever would.

Ergo, instant global narrative change.

Really?

“…global narrative change.

Really?”

______________

Yes, for those who may not have been paying attention to Bitcoin, it would have gone unnoticed.

But if one has been following Bitcoin, whenever the MSM or Lefty influencers on alternative media talked about Bitcoin, it was usually to say how unfriendly it was to the environment, and the huge carbon footprint, and all the wasted electricity that was required for Bitcoin mining.

Fighting this narrative led to all kinds of realizations in efficiency for Bitcoin mining.

Like capturing wasted natural gas and using it to mine Bitcoin, and ever more efficient Bitcoin mining rigs — primarily to save money and make Bitcoin mining more profitable, but the efficiency gains were also used to combat the narrative.

Also using hydro power where possible, and now nuclear.

With Bitcoin, it can be mined just about anywhere, it doesn’t have to be nearby a population center, unlike the giant data centers required for A.I.

So there are lots of energy sources that are too far away from population centers to be useful for most applications, but they are perfect for Bitcoin mining.

The narrative against Bitcoin was from TPTB, because they rightly feared a challenge to their monopoly on money. Bitcoin has been banned in many countries around the world, which only causes it to go underground or move to nations that welcome it.

China had the most Bitcoin mining in the world, until they banned it.

Now America has the most Bitcoin mining in the world. Bitcoin mining = economic power, it’s digital gold.

No one has to believe that, and many people will never allow themselves to be convinced, and that’s fine. But the rest of the world has already decided that it is, and the rest of the world is treating it accordingly.

Once A.I. became commercially viable, all the usual enviro-wacko suspects who decried the energy usage of Bitcoin mining pretty much melted away, because the argument could not withstand the reality that A.I. was going to use orders of magnitude more energy than Bitcoin mining does.

And TPTB want A.I. very much.

The amount of energy used for Bitcoin is a trickle.

The amount of energy needed for A.I. requires busting the dam.

This is also why all the wailing against nuclear energy has mostly died off. TPTB need energy for A.I. or they are going to be left behind by those who have it.

I have seen different estimates, but we may need twice as much electricity production or more, globally, than we currently have.

Windmills just aren’t going to gut it.

Reality trumps narrative, so narrative changes.

It was never about the environment, it was always about money and power and access to resources. This is just the most current example.

“I am completely ignorant on the subject of bitcoin. it never made sense to me that acquire bitcoin by solving complex equations…(or something like that).”

_____________

I was the same way. I first heard about Bitcoin around 2012, when it was silly cheap. But I blew it off, thought it was nothing. Today it’s $107,000 and in a few more years I expect it will be $1,000,000.

Bitcoin, unlike most cryptos which could be (and often are) a type of ponzi, is a ‘proof of work’ crypto.

In order for something to have ‘value’, there has to be ‘work’ involved.

An ounce of gold requires a lot of work (money, time, energy) to locate, dig up, process, refine and mint into a saleable coin or bar.

Its existence is proof of the work that went into it, and it can be weighed to prove the weight matches the weight stamped into it, and it can be tested for purity.

A Bitcoin likewise requires a lot of work (money, time, energy) to ‘mine’. Instead of digging something up out of the ground, computers compete to solve equations, and whoever solves the equation first is rewarded with a Bitcoin.

A couple years ago, I think the average ‘all in’ cost to produce an ounce of gold was around $1,500 to $1,600 and it was selling for around $1,850.

The current average cost to mine a Bitcoin is around $80,000 (I think), and the spot price today is $107,000.

.

“i don’t understand it. who determines the value?”

_____________

The market determines its value, along with the miners, same as precious metals.

For example, the price of gold is determined by the Gold exchanges (and futures contracts), and ultimately by the gold mining companies, because if the price of gold drops below the cost of production for too long, eventually the mining companies will shutter the mines, until prices rise enough to make mining gold profitable again.

Bitcoin operates on the same principles.

Bitcoin was classified by the U.S. government as a commodity during the Brandon administration.

During the Trump administration, Bitcoin officially became a new asset class (first new asset class in a long time).

It trades on Bitcoin exchanges in ‘pure’ form, and trades on the stock exchanges in the form of ETFs and various proxies, like Bitcoin mining companies and MicroStrategy (now just called ‘Strategy’).

.

“does this bitcoin just materialize? if it only exists “on line” how can anyone say they “have” it.”

______________

Technically you have the ‘keys’ to access whatever Bitcoin you own (if you own Bitcoin directly, as opposed to the much easier to buy/sell/hold ETFs or proxies), but the Bitcoin itself exists on the blockchain, a global digital ledger.

.

“and what about all the energy you’re paying for to solve these equations? what kid of return on your investment are you getting?”

______________

It began very cheaply, in 2009, when people could use their home PC to solve the equations to earn Bitcoin.

A Bitcoin may only have been worth 50 cents (or less) at the time.

As usage and competition grew, the equations became harder to solve, requiring more computing power and more electricity.

Fast forward to 2025, and I think the all-in average cost to ‘mine’ (produce) a Bitcoin is around $80K today.

So at the current $107K spot price, you can make a $27K profit per Bitcoin.

But mining has become a very competitive and cut throat business today, and margins are often slim to negative for long periods, until the Bitcoin price (which so far has been cyclical, but that may change going forward as adoption rapidly increases) hits new highs.

Everyone who mines needs the latest, greatest mining equipment (computers specifically designed for mining) to stay competitive.

If it costs company ‘A’ $60,000 to mine a Bitcoin (because they have the most recent and most efficient mining machines) and it costs company ‘B’ $100,000 to mine a Bitcoin because they have 3-year old mining machines, company ‘B’ won’t be able to stay in business for very long.

So what usually happens is the mining company sells shares on the stock market (diluting their share count, which lowers their share price), and uses the raised capital to buy newer and more efficient mining machines every 3 years.

.

“who needs these equations solved?”

_____________

The Bitcoin program requires equations to be solved in order to award a Bitcoin.

A fixed number of Bitcoins are awarded each day. I think it was around 3,600 per day back in 2009.

Every 4th year, the number is cut in half. Currently, only 450 Bitcoins can be mined per day.

If for some reason people stopped mining Bitcoin, the Bitcoin program would automatically adjust to make the equations easier to solve, which incentivizes more people to mine Bitcoin.

As more and more people around the world mine Bitcoin, the difficulty increases accordingly, so that only the programmed amount (currently 450 until 2028 when it will be cut to 225 per day) is awarded each day.

.

“shouldn’t they be the ones paying for their solutions?”

____________

They do. The miners are the ones paying for the solutions.

The miners buy the mining machines (PCs optimized for mining), they rent or buy office space to house as many mining machines as possible, they pay for the electricity to run the mining machines, and they take all the risk such an endeavor poses, for the reward of Bitcoin, which can be exchanged for USD or hoarded, same as gold miners do.

.

“i don’t expect answer–I probably wouldn’t understand them anyway.”

____________

Should have said that at the beginning, I’m already almost done now! 👍 😂

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy (a software company that converted to a Bitcoin holding company and now has 597,325 Bitcoin as of today), has become more or less the public Ambassador for Bitcoin.

He says to really understand Bitcoin, you need to invest about 100 hours. You can read a book (e.g., The Bitcoin Standard), you can watch videos (Saylor’s website has what amounts to an online university for Bitcoin, all free education), etc.

Or you can just watch videos from random content creators on youtube, or some combination of all three.

The basic principles are the same as precious metals, so it’s an easy transition for people who understand gold and silver, for example.

All the same basic questions apply. What is ‘money’? What makes something ‘valuable’?

Gold and silver have been used as ‘money’ for thousands of years, but so have a lot of other things.

Gold (and silver) just solved the ‘problems’ of ‘money’ better than anything else discovered, for a variety of reasons, which are interesting to learn about, but most people never do.

Gold bugs do, they have learned, but many of them have become so obsessed with gold (or silver) that they see Bitcoin as competition, and reject it out of hand, rather than taking the time necessary to understand it, and understand how Bitcoin solves the ‘money’ problem(s) even better than gold does.

That doesn’t mean gold becomes obsolete, it’s not a zero sum game, it just means that Bitcoin is a new addition to the ‘store of value’ category, and it has certain advantages that make it very useful over physical gold (or silver).

.

“sounds to me like a gigantic scam on the nerds and someone is getting free help in return for imaginary wealth.”

_____________

I thought the exact same thing when I first heard about Bitcoin, and for years afterward, because I had no compelling reason (that I was aware of) to spend the time to learn about it.

That was a huge mistake on my part.

If I had taken the time, back around 2014, when I bought some silver at around $19/oz (average), and I had bought Bitcoin instead, I would be living on a beach somewhere right now.

I didn’t learn about Bitcoin until I needed to, which is what happens to most people. It’s what happened to Michael Saylor.

He thought Bitcoin was a scam too. He publicly predicted that Bitcoin was a type of ponzi scheme whose value would go to zero, and people love to remind him of that all the time, now that he has become the unofficial spokesman for Bitcoin, half a decade or so later 😁

The problem is that soon, everyone will need to know about Bitcoin, for the same reason that everyone should know about gold.

As far as I know, Bitcoin is the first time in history where the ‘little people’ are able to get in before the big institutions.

People figured it out first, but the institutions are onto it now, and they are coming fast. It takes time for institutions to absorb, debate on the board of directors, etc.

And it required regulatory clarity for corporations to be able to adopt Bitcoin or add it to their treasury.

Those hurdles have all been cleared now, and the price is still hovering around $100K.

But it’s divisible, so anyone can buy as little (or much) as they can afford or desire.

Lots of people dollar cost average, maybe $10 or $20 a day, or $100 a week, or whatever.

You can buy Bitcoin in the form of an ETF (just like the Gold ETF) on most online brokerages.

Sovereign Bonds are all (eventually) going to junk status, because the whole world is drowning in debt.

Bitcoin, like gold, silver and other hard assets, is the life raft, or the escape hatch.

As the USD value trends toward zero, the value of Bitcoin will trend toward infinity.

Like the inverse correlation between Gold and the German mark in the 1920s.

Brave search engine A.I. assist:

…………………..
“For example, the price of gold rose from 170 Deutsche Marks in 1919 to 87,000,000,000,000 Deutsche Marks by the end of 1923.”
…………………..

It was a really good idea to have a little gold in Germany in 1919.

It’s a good idea to have a little gold in America in 2025, for the exact same reason.

All fiat currencies eventually go to zero, but Gold never goes to zero. As fiat currencies lose value, the purchasing power of Gold increases.

The exact same principle applies to Bitcoin.

The major difference (there are several) is that unlike Gold, Bitcoin is finite.

If the price of Gold goes to $10K/ounce, exploration and mining will boom, and within a couple years, enough new supply will come onto the market to stabilize the gold price.

Because you can always dig up more gold.

But with Bitcoin, there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin in existence. That’s how the program was designed, and it shuts off when the 21 millionth Bitcoin is mined.

That’s it.

No matter how high the price goes, there will never be any more supply.

A little over 19 million Bitcoin have already been mined, so there are only about 2 million left to be mined, before Bitcoin mining ends.

And around 5 million Bitcoin have already been ‘lost’ (the keys to access it have been lost), so there will really only ever be around 16 million Bitcoin, by the time the last Bitcoin is mined.

There has never been a commodity, in the history of the world, that had a fixed supply that could never be increased, no matter how high the value went.

Bitcoin is the first and only.

If it is a good idea to have a little gold (and it is), it is also a good idea to have a little Bitcoin, for the same reasons.

Except the scarcity of Bitcoin, permanently capped/fixed at 21 million Bitcoins (and really only around 16 million Bitcoins, due to the aforementioned loss of Bitcoins), means the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for Bitcoin should easily eclipse the CAGR of Gold.

And Bitcoin has easily eclipsed the CAGR of gold for many years now, along with eclipsing the CAGR of just about everything else.

The fact that most people don’t understand Bitcoin is a blessing in disguise.

So long as that remains true, there is still time to acquire Bitcoin at a price much lower than it will eventually be.

If everyone understood it already, the value would already be priced in, and it would already cost $3 million, or $7 million, or $10 million per Bitcoin.

It’s still cheap, once you understand where it is going to be.

Not financial advice.

I’m from Generation X, so I don’t know anything — and even if I did, who would listen to me? 😁

You can only ‘win’ millions if you ‘spend’ millions, no different than if you were starting up a gold mining company.

It’s work. It takes time, effort, knowledge, money and risk.

.

“it’s not tangible–it’s made up.

_____________

No more ‘made up’ than the electronic ones and zeroes in your bank account. It’s just an electronic ledger, there’s not a safe deposit box at the bank where your physical fiat paper currency is held.

Unless you rent a physical safe deposit box and put physical paper fiat currency in it, but if you do, then it doesn’t earn any interest, and you can’t write checks on it, until you come to the bank and physically remove it, and put it back into their intangible electronic system, which you very much believe in, even though they completely made that up, too 😁

Actually, Bitcoin is far less made up than what is (supposedly but not really) in your bank account.

The Internet is not tangible either, and yet no one would argue that it has no value.

The difference is that when the Internet was invented, you couldn’t buy a piece of it.

It was a ‘foundation layer’ that people could build businesses on top of, but you couldn’t own the ‘foundation’.

Bitcoin is the foundation, and you can own a piece of it, like digital real estate on Park Avenue 👍

patfrederick

i don’t see it. it’s made up and when someone decides it no longer has value…you’ll see the emperor has no clothes.

scott467

“i don’t see it.”

___________

I know 👍

I wish I could help you to see it, but I know I can’t, no matter how hard I try.

It’s just a variation of all the other things we deal with every day.

Like Covid. As we all experienced, there was practically nothing we could say to convince anyone that the shots were dangerous, or that the masks did nothing, or that Ivermectin worked.

We could plead, beg, talk until we were blue in the face, it didn’t matter.

Then, a couple years later, the consequences began to manifest to such a degree that everyone began to realize the truth.

Bitcoin is very much like that.

Everyone will see, eventually.

It will be too late then. Not too late to use it, because everyone will, but the opportunity to realize outsized gains from it will be gone.

.

it’s made up and when someone decides it no longer has value…you’ll see the emperor has no clothes.”

____________

Is there anything which that is not also true about?

It was true of the glass beads that were used to purchase Manhattan from the Indians, wasn’t it?

This is what I mean about Bitcoin (and gold and silver bugs) prompting People to ask the right questions.

Like what is value?

How is it determined?

Who decides?

Most people never ask those questions, they just go through their entire life using the worthless fiat paper currency, thinking it has actual value, because everyone else has decided to go along with that specific illusion.

It’s kind of funny, because most people just can’t wrap their heads around Bitcoin, no matter how hard or how long I try to explain it 😁

But lots of other people are, and lots of other people have already become very wealthy, and lots more people are preparing to be wealthy, because, like Wayne Gretsky, they can see where the puck is going.

I don’t know how it could be more obvious, when POTUS himself has endorsed it, he has created a National Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and his own family now has billions of dollars in Bitcoin and other crypto.

His entire Cabinet is pro-Bitcoin.

Legislation has already been passed to create regulatory clarity for Bitcoin, and more is being passed. The ‘Genius Act’ was just passed recently.

It’s in everyone’s faces, and yet the majority of Americans (and people everywhere) remain in total denial of what is happening all around them.

Just like Covid.

It’s the same phenomenon.
 
But it’s easy to learn, for anyone who wants to put in a reasonable amount of time and effort.
 
So in a sense, it’s like a self-selecting prize. The people who are interested in it will figure it out and get the prize, and those who aren’t, won’t.
 
Until the whole system is changed, and then they will need to learn about it, whether they want to or not.
 
But it will be much more expensive then.

If it was an actual global emergency, it would be easy.

Tesla already has 5 or 6 gigagactories, so really only 95 more are needed.

There are 195 countries in the world.

The top 5 countries by GDP could easily afford to build 20 each.

Or the top 50 countries could easily afford to build just 2 each.

It could be done in a year, the amount of time it takes Tesla to build one, now that they have perfected the process.

“AI smells like a huge problem to Freedom, mankind.”

It is, but it’s coming anyway, and a lot faster than most people (including me) can really grasp.

The company SalesForce recently revealed that 50% of their work is already being done by A.I.

AI doing up to 50% of work at Salesforce: CEO Marc Benioff
That means they can cut their workforce in half.

And A.I. is still in the early stages of utilization and development.

But it’s growing exponentially, and the competitive advantage is far too great to ignore. Labor is a large component of most business costs. If you can cut your labor costs by half (or more), and your competitor doesn’t follow suit, he will soon be out of business.

Humans think linearly, and most people (excepting maybe physicists or similar) have great difficulty thinking exponentially.

A.I. is growing exponentially.

Gigafactories are now nearly totally automated, and will only become more so as Optimus robots are integrated to the workflow.

The other day it was posted that Tesla just had their first ‘factory to buyer’ delivery of a Tesla car. It drove itself off the assembly line, onto the street, and to the new owner’s home, all by itself.

When the Gigafactory is running at full capacity, it can produce a ridiculous amount of product. This is one reason why legacy auto cannot even begin to compete.

From Brave Browser A.I. assist:

…………………………..
When the Gigafactory is running at full capacity, it can produce a significant amount of battery cells and electric vehicles.

For example, Tesla’s Gigafactory Nevada is capable of building 100 GWh of batteries annually, enough for 1.5 million light duty vehicles. 

Additionally, Tesla’s Gigafactory Shanghai is running at full capacity, producing over 950,000 vehicles per year. The production capacity of a Gigafactory is often measured in gigawatt hours (GWh).
…………………………..

So Gigafactory Shanghai is making 2,603+ cars every single day, 365 days a year. And it will soon be nearly entirely automated, if it isn’t already.

1,440 minutes in a 24-hour day means they are able to produce almost 2 cars per minute, around the clock.

A Gigafactory is a modern marvel.

Another reason legacy auto can’t compete is because they have outsourced practically everything that goes into the car, which means outside manufacturers and suppliers and shipping all have to be paid and factored into the end-user price.

Tesla is vertically integrated, nearly the entire car (and other products) are built in-house, so there is no middleman taking his cut out of every part that goes into the car. This means Tesla can sell their cars much more cheaply than Legacy Auto, and still make a better profit per car than Legacy Auto.

It’s not a fair fight.

Elon / Tesla had the advantage of seeing what works, and optimizing all of it for maximum efficiency and cost savings, integrating automation wherever possible, while Legacy Auto is using factories that are decades old with even older bureaucracies, labor unions, etc.

People have been warning that this day was coming for years. It’s almost here now.

And Tesla isn’t just a car company, I think they have at least 7 or 8 different products, and if I remember correctly, by 2027-2028, cars won’t even be their primary source of revenue / income.

The production of cars (EVs) are a means to an end, not the end itself.

_____________

Yes, very much so, the EVs are still the main source of income, but that will change in the near future.

I expect they will continue to make EVs for as long as Tesla is around, and make more and more of them, it’s just that the demand for their other products will be so great that it will leave revenue from EVs in the dust.

They also make electric semi-trucks for commercial product transportation.

They make their own computer chips for A.I., to supplement what they buy from NVIDIA.

They have the largest A.I. on the planet (Elon’s A.I. is called Grok).

They have the battery mega-packs, which will be used all over the world by power stations to stabilize their electrical grid. They can’t build them fast enough, I think Australia is their current largest buyer.

They have the Robo-taxis, which will put Uber (and all other taxi services) out of business. The FSD (full self-driving) is essentially complete and working, much safer than human driving, and Tesla can produce these self-driving taxis at scale and low cost, so they will be everywhere.

Not just in America, but all over the world.

Then there is Optimus, the human-like robot, which will eventually replace a significant percentage of the workforce, all over the world.

A.I. makes all of it possible, and it is happening faster than most people (including me) realize.

They are amazed by the technology.

And people love the idea of no Uber driver, because too many people have problems with their Uber driver, or worse, get victimized by their Uber driver.

Women especially seem to prefer the driverless taxi, because there is no strange dude in the front seat who is bigger and stronger than she is, and who is in control of where the car goes.

I’m just posting for vanity now… 😂

Tesla Vehicle Safety Report
At Tesla, we believe that technology can help improve safety. That’s why Tesla vehicles are engineered to be the safest cars in the world. We believe the unique combination of passive safety, active safety, and automated driver assistance is crucial for keeping not just Tesla drivers and passengers safe, but all drivers on the road.

It’s this notion that grounds every decision we make – from the design of our cars, to the software we introduce, to the features we offer every Tesla owner.
Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y have achieved among the lowest overall probability of injury of any vehicles ever tested by the U.S. government’s New Car Assessment Program.

Much of this has to do with the rigid, fortified structure of the battery pack that is mounted to the car’s floor, which provides a vehicle with exceptional strength, large crumple zones, and a uniquely low center of gravity. Because of their strength, Tesla’s battery packs rarely incur serious damage in accidents.

And, in the extremely unlikely event that a fire occurs, the state-of-the-art design of our battery packs ensures that its safety system works as intended and isolates a fire to select areas within the battery while simultaneously venting heat away from the passenger cabin and the vehicle.

While no car can prevent all accidents, we work every day to try to make them much less likely to occur. Active safety features come standard on all Tesla vehicles made after September 2014 for an added layer of safety beyond the physical structure of each car. Because every Tesla is connected, we’re able to use the billions of miles of real-world data from our global fleet – of which more than 9 billion have been driven with Autopilot engaged – to understand the different ways accidents happen.

We then develop features that can help Tesla drivers mitigate or avoid accidents. Through over-the-air software updates, we’re able to introduce safety features and enhancements long after a car has been delivered, as well as release updated versions of existing safety features that take into account the most up-to-date real-world data collected by our fleet.

In October 2018, we began voluntarily releasing quarterly safety data in order to provide critical safety information about our vehicles to the public, and in July 2019 we began voluntarily releasing annually updated data about vehicle fires as well. Accident rates among all vehicles on the road can vary from quarter to quarter and can be affected by seasonality, like reduced daylight and inclement weather conditions.

Vehicle Fire Data
comment image

Tesla is committed to collecting, analyzing, and reporting the most accurate data available regarding vehicle and fire safety. To that end, we continuously refine our methodology, detection processes and algorithms for the collection and analysis of fire event reports involving Tesla vehicles, including events where the evidence indicates the fire did not originate with the vehicle.

We learn about fire events from a wide variety of internal and external sources, such as available vehicle telemetry, customer service, and media reports. For this reason, we may not be notified of a fire event until months after it occurs.

Therefore, to better reflect what we have learned about fire events involving Tesla vehicles, we now collect annual vehicle fire data for a year before publishing to capture all known events. This approach is also consistent with how the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports on vehicle fire events.

Our global data indicates that, between 2012 and 2022, approximately one Tesla vehicle fire event occurred for every 130 million vehicle miles traveled. By comparison, data from the NFPA and U.S. Department of Transportation indicate that one vehicle fire occurs in the United States for every 18 million miles traveled. Compared to average vehicles on the road, Tesla vehicles are comparatively even less likely to be involved in a fire event than these numbers suggest, because Tesla’s data includes fire events that are caused by structure fires, wildfires, arson, and other causes unrelated to the vehicle, whereas the NFPA data excludes any fires where a structure is involved.

In addition, because Tesla is committed to reporting the most accurate and comprehensive data possible, we also provide yearly averages over the past 5 years, as illustrated above. These numbers reflect known fire events that occur globally in each calendar year, and they are normalized by vehicle fleet mileage that accrued during that year.

Methodology:
We collect the amount of miles traveled by each vehicle with Autopilot active or in manual driving, based on available data we receive from the fleet, and do so without identifying specific vehicles to protect privacy. We also receive a crash alert anytime a crash is reported to us from the fleet, which may include data about whether Autopilot was active at the time of impact.

To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed. (Our crash statistics are not based on sample data sets or estimates.) In practice, this correlates to nearly any crash at about 12 mph (20 kph) or above, depending on the crash forces generated. We do not differentiate based on the type of crash or fault (For example, more than 35% of all Autopilot crashes occur when the Tesla vehicle is rear-ended by another vehicle). In this way, we are confident that the statistics we share unquestionably show the benefits of Autopilot.

Please note that seasonality can affect crash rates from quarter to quarter, particularly in quarters where reduced daylight and inclement or wintry weather conditions are more common. To minimize seasonality as a variable, compare a quarter to the same quarter in prior years.

*Update (January 2023):
We are proud of Autopilot’s performance and its impact on reducing traffic collisions. The benefit and promise of Autopilot is clear from the Vehicle Safety Report data that we have been sharing for 4 years. As part of Tesla’s commitment to continuous improvement, recent analysis led us to identify and implement upgrades to our data reporting. Specifically, we discovered reports of certain events where no airbag or other active restraint deployed, single events that were counted more than once, and reports of invalid or duplicated mileage records.

Including these events is inconsistent with our methodology for the Vehicle Safety Report and they will be excluded going forward. These upgrades in data analysis reinforce the positive impact that Autopilot has on vehicle safety. To ensure the accuracy of our reporting, we updated all collision rates historically to account for these upgrades, including the baseline collision rates for the United States based on currently available NHTSA and FHWA data. (Note that for purposes of the baseline collision rates in the United States, an automobile crash is one that involves at least one passenger vehicle, light truck, SUV or van that is 10,000 pounds or less, as classified by available federal data.)

The end result is that, when Autopilot is active, the collision rates are even lower than we previously reported.”

I keep forgetting that in most of the press they will use the post-transition identity by default; so when I hear the phrase “transitioning woman” they mean “transitioning [or transitioned] to woman”

However I often see them get it wrong by their own lights too. Supposedly “male” and “female” should be used to refer to the biological fact [so that even by their standards, “biological male” is redundant] and “man” or “woman” to the (alleged) cultural construct that they are altering. And yet I’ll see “them” use “male” or “female” for what was transitioned to.

pgroup2

Now I’m confused.  😂 

/s

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

According to the summary I read written by someone on the other side; “male” and “female” refer to the actual biology, and is immutable, but “man” and “woman” are cultural so people can change that.

So if you say “a man can’t become a woman” they will argue with you, but if you say “a male can’t become a female” they won’t. Supposedly. But as I said they often get this wrong even by their own lights.

The person went on a long rant about this, but did concede in the end that males (i.e., biological males) maybe should not compete in women’s sports (against biological females). He in fact accused “transphobics” of engaging in a mote-and-bailey fallacy. We attack the entire thing but when pressed retreat to the males in women’s sports thing–implicitly stating we just might have a point on the latter.

I hope he gives more details about the drug. It could possibly end the problem of chronic pain patients that can’t get prescription drugs. So they go to the streets where the pills are counterfeit and cut with fentanyl, which causes overdose deaths.

Since it’s a hormone blocker, I bet it only works on prostate cancer. But it would be worth looking into.

A few weeks ago, not long after he went public with his diagnosis, he said he was contacted by some doctor who suggested some kind of experimental treatment that Scott was going to try.

He didn’t want to reveal what it was at the time, except to say that he was sure that no one in his audience had ever heard of it, because it was so new and experimental.

Said it had a 30% chance of being effective, IIRC.

If he is currently pain free, it must be working 👍

Gunman started Idaho blaze and then fatally shot 2 firefighters in ambush attack, officials say

A man armed with a rifle started a wildfire Sunday and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said. 

A shelter-in-place order was lifted Sunday night after a tactical response team used cell phone data to “hone in” on a wooded area where they found the suspect’s body with a firearm nearby as flames rapidly approached, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said. 

Officials did not release his name, nor did they say what kind of gun was found.

“We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,” Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. “These firefighters did not have a chance.” 

Sheriff’s officials said crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene around 1:30 p.m., and gunshots were reported about a half hour later. 

Investigators said the gunman acted alone. 

“We believe that was the only shooter that was on that mountain at that time,” Norris said.

Three victims were brought to Kootenai Health, said hospital spokesperson Kim Anderson. Two were dead on arrival and the third was being treated for injuries, Anderson said. The wounded firefighter was “fighting for his life” after surgery and was in stable condition, Norris said. 

The scene was sheer pandemonium as the brush fire burned and firefighters rushed to the scene only to come under heavy fire…

Norris said it appeared the sniper was hiding in the rugged terrain and using a high-powered rifle. He said he instructed deputies to fire back…

The FBI responded to the scene with technical teams and tactical support, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said…

I wonder if he was Venezuelan?

It will be interesting. I’m trying to think of a motive: someone who had a personal grudge against a firefighter(s) for some reason, someone who just wanted to cause chaos and strike fear in society, someone influenced by psychotropic drugs, a foreign actor who is an enemy of the United States, an MK subject…

Possibly one fireman was bird-dogging the gunman’s wife and he shot all of them to make a fake narrative of terrorism.

nobody actually noticed that the CDC’s “public health” department is run by the US military with US military mentality in US military uniforms.

Here is 30 minutes of CAPTAIN Sarah Meyer gaslighting the US public.

If this doesn’t make you angry it’s likely nothing will.
“No deaths”.
“All benefit”.
“Don’t worry about myocarditis” (which has a 10 year mortality of up to 50%).

Her lapdog Adam McNeil isn’t even a doctor and blatantly lies about the net mortality benefit of the COVID vaccines, never seen in a single RCT.

The US military has been forcing experimental vaccines on their soldiers for ever, and they don’t give a damn about what happens as a result because YOU will pay the bill.

And if a soldier dies they will just send another soldier to take the spouse a folded up flag. They do not care one iota that your rights to bodily autonomy were trampled on and people died, because they will tell you that nobody died.

And you will shut the hell up, peasant.

CAPTAIN Meyer was part of the ACIP committee that approved the Pfizer vaccine claiming that it reduced infections by 92%. She lied then and she’s lying now – because if she admitted that people died, she would be responsible.

Is lying to the public as a commissioned officer treason, or just another reason for a pat on the back from the US military?

Another job done. Crisis averted. Nobody goes to jail. No grand juries. No courts martial.

The World Health Organisation’s former chief scientist and inventor of Anti Fertility, or “birth control” vaccines.

The World Health Organization began working on this method of population control work in the 1970’s.

Gursaran Pran Talwar: “There’s also a vaccine for controlling fertility. This birth control vaccine has undergone not only safety trials (Phase 1) but also efficacy trials (Phase 2).”

“This vaccine uses a subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone, linked to a carrier (tetanus toxoid) to make it immunogenic since hCG is a self-hormone. Why hCG? Because it is not normally present in a healthy body; it only emerges when pregnancy begins, which is why it’s used as a pregnancy test.”

“I chose hCG as a target for this vaccine because the antibodies produced would not react against anything normal in the body but would only be reactive when pregnancy starts. At that time, we didn’t know, but now we understand that hCG plays a crucial role in the implantation of the embryo.”

“The vaccine, by producing antibodies against hCG, prevents implantation without affecting any other body functions. This vaccine is unique; there was only one pregnancy in 1224 cycles, making it highly effective, even better than most contraceptives.”

 Bill Gates Talks ‘Vaccines to Reduce Population’ and the founding Director-General of UNESCO was a Eugenicist.

Fabian Socialist Sir Julian Huxley became the first Director-General of UNESCO, he authored UNESCO: ITS PURPOSE AND ITS PHILOSOPHY (1948) in which he revealed that even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”

It was during this time of the early 20th Century that Rockefeller introduced Margaret Sanger to the monied elite who would help her form the Birth Control League which would later become Planned Parenthood. The November 1921 issue of Sanger’s Birth Control Review carried the heading “Birth Control: To Create A Race of Thoroughbreds,” and Sanger would later advocate eugenically limiting “dysgenic stocks” such as blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Catholics, as well as “slum dwellers” such as Jewish immigrants.

In 1926, Rockefeller money funded the founding of the American Eugenics Society, and the next year on May 2, 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court by an 8 to 1 majority ruled in Buck v. Bell that certain “unfit” people could be forcibly sterilized. Regarding this ruling, British [Fabian Socialist] Professor Harold Laski wrote his friend Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Sterilize all the unfit, among whom I include all fundamentalists.”

And to top it off with real world data, I always want real world data, this interesting report from the UN on African fertility:

Demographic Change in Sub-Saharan Africa

Barney Cohen reviews levels, differentials, and trends in fertility for more than 30 countries from 1960 to 1992. He finds evidence of fertility decline in Botswana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, confirming the basic results of the DHS. What is new here though is his finding that the fertility decline appears to have occurred across cohorts of women at all parities, rather than just among women at middle and higher parities, as might have been expected on the basis of experience in other parts of the world. He also presents evidence that fertility may have begun to fall in parts of Nigeria and possibly in Senegal….

There’s a whole legion of brave doctors, scientists, and researchers that have come out with various theories on the causes and origins of the Covid and this billionaire brain surgeon businessman is at the very end of the pack when he should of been at the front or at least the middle of it.

Looking at my notes I seemed to have surfaced him here circa July 2020 and again in May 2021

I don’t know exactly what I posted about him here but these are my musings from that time.

15 July 2020

Patrick_Soon-Shiong

His Wikipedia page is long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Soon-Shiong

He’s also met with Biden on several occasions as well as Paul Ryan and Presdident Trump in 2017 to discuss medical priorities. Also seems to be heavily invested in AccuRadio a leading web based music station which is an independent with a variety of music.  

Thought this interesting. “Soon-Shiong founded NantHealth in 2007 to provide fiber-optic, cloud-based data infrastructure to share healthcare information.[22] Soon-Shiong went on to found NantWorks in September 2011, whose mission was “to converge ultra-low power semiconductor technology, supercomputing, high performance, secure advanced networks and augmented intelligence to transform how we work, play, and live.”

Kinda don’t want to transform how we work, play and live. But that’s just me.

This guy appears to be a priest king of the tech/med world with lots of experience in cutting edge science when it comes to nanotech and genomic science.

Makes one wonder if the tech priest kings have to move closer to the subjects of their tests to observe and control. What? ‘Control’. Oh.  Since the subjects could easily be all of us it will be interesting to see what’s going on here.

Pretty sure I wrote more about him before then as I recall telling the room about his many start ups in media and nano tech. Likely in my notes some place with a less defined descriptor that would let me find it easily. Also his Wikipedia page was later dramatically scrubbed to erase much of his past history on start ups.

“We have to face reality…”

Oh no they don’t, and they won’t.

Reality = accountability, and that’s not going to happen.

They’ll be like nearly everyone at Nuremburg, or even in regular prison, swearing their innocence to anyone who will listen, even convincing themselves.

This is why reality must be forced upon them by prosecutors, because they will never accept reality of their own volition.

Sooner or later parents of dead children are going to go after them. ALSo I think it will be comming sooner than they think.

From OT. Apparently Canada has some kind of mind virus. It’s amazing that dozens of teams aren’t studying this phenomenon, after it became so obvious during Covidiocy.

Trump is able to play their entire population like a laser pointer with a cat.

Imagine being able to induce the mind virus, like a hypnotist, on your adversaries.

Canadian Government Rescinds Digital Services Tax, Requests to Resume Trade Talks Again
June 29, 2025 

“Elbows up” and knees bent. As expected given the nature of their dependency, the Canadian government has rescinded the digital services tax against U.S. tech companies.

comment image

The June 30th collection is halted and the Canadian government led by Mark Carney will be bringing legislation to rescind the tax entirely.

CANADA – […] Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States. Consistent with this action, Prime Minister Carney and President Trump have agreed that parties will resume negotiations with a view towards agreeing on a deal by July 21, 2025.

The DST was announced in 2020 to address the fact that many large technology companies operating in Canada may not otherwise pay tax on revenues generated from Canadians. Canada’s preference has always been a multilateral agreement related to digital services taxation. While Canada was working with international partners, including the United States, on a multilateral agreement that would replace national digital services taxes, the DST was enacted to address the aforementioned taxation gap.

The June 30, 2025 collection will be halted, and Minister Champagne will soon bring forward legislation to rescind the Digital Services Tax Act. (LINK)

In the bigger picture Canada has a serious problem.

Canada is entirely dependent on the USA; there is no part of the Canadian economic system that can survive without total dependence on the USA. The Canadian economy is currently stagnant and their leftist government is desperate to find a way to collect revenue somehow, any way possible.  Additionally, President Trump is going to end the USMCA trade agreement and shut down a majority of the benefits Canada has been extracting.

The most remarkable aspect to this reality is the denial within Canada. There are maybe a handful of honest Canadian economists, financial types and/or pundits who understand economic matters that are willing to outline and explain the details of Canada’s vulnerability…..

…. The rest are in denial, shouting ‘elbows up’ as if that is going to change the inevitable. The pretending is strong amid the snow Mexicans. Their denial is a mass formation psychosis. Stunningly so.”

kalbokalbs

Canada. Have not paid much attention over the years.

At the moment, pathetic comes to mind.

Carney early on embrace of Canada being, Subject of England. Their Masters?

  • WTF is the matter with him? Canucks to tolerate, being lapdogs.
  • Clearly a mental illness to voluntarily sign up for that nonsense.
  • Carney visited EU recently to learn how to, grow a set. Maybe stiffen his spine.
  • Utter failure. As is EU.

Canada really does need to become a US State Territory.

Looking forward to Alberta thoughts.

Trump will have a good time with the emerging lapdog, to the north.

Fundamental problem in Canada. Government controlled media, press.

nope, I have never heard of sologamy before.
FTA
By now, I assume most of you have heard about “sologamy,” the practice of marrying one’s self.
Kind of the opposite of “polygamy,” but not really any more traditional or inspiring.
This, from a 2023 piece that ran in Women’s Business Daily:

In a 2019 Vogue interview, Emma Watson described herself as ‘self-partnered.’ She used the term to describe how she wasn’t pursuing a partnership but was instead focusing on ‘dating’ herself. The term ‘sologamy’ really isn’t much different. As opposed to monogamy, or even polyamory, someone prescribing to sologamy is first and foremost dedicated to loving themselves. This idea isn’t meant to promote selfishness and narcissism. Instead, it promotes self-love, focusing on improving and adoring yourself. 

Alrighty then. Perhaps it is a tad narcissistic, but whatever, right?
And more from womensbusinessdaily.com:

Kshama Bindu married herself in India’s first sologamous wedding. She performed many traditional Hindu wedding rituals but only invited 10 close friends and family members. She isn’t the first person to have a sologamous wedding. In 1993, a dental hygienist named Linda Baker in LA declared she was tired of ‘waiting for the chain of events that lead up to feasting on [a] wedding cake.’ So she invited seventy-five friends to watch her marry herself, becoming ‘her own lovely wedded person.’

Gail Combs

A PETA member once told screamed at me “I RATHER SEE HORSES EXTINCT THAN OWNED BY PEOPLE!!!

That one sentence tells you it is OWNERSHIP that is what they are against. It has NOTHING to do with the welfare of animals. PETA is KNOWN for killing animals as soon as they get their hands on them.

IIRC, in one case they were actually killing them in the van when they went to pick them up.

What was the “PETA kills animals” scandal… – zoosmedia

Two PETA employees were detained in the US state of North Carolina in 2005 after disposing 80 animal carcasses in a trash container. They were accused, among other things, of cruelty to animals, but were released at the end of the trial.

The two had collected dogs and cats from veterinarians and in animal shelters, and later they euthanized them in their minibus by means of poison. During the process it was exposed, PETA killed, between 1998 and 2005, a total of 14,000 pets. PETA has its own animal shelter, the majority of the animals delivered there are euthanized. In 2011 96 percent of the pets were killed. In 2012, 733 dogs were brought to PETA, only twelve of them were given, all others killed. The debate following the trial moreover exposed that the organization had killed in the past also test animals, the animal rights activists had previously “freed” from research laboratories. 

PETA’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad… – The Atlantic

In 2011, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) behaved in a regrettably consistent manner: it euthanized the overwhelming majority (PDF) of dogs and cats that it accepted into its shelters.

Documents show PETA killed nearly 2,000 shelter animals in 2013

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a surprising track record at its Norfolk animal shelter. Publicly available Virginia records show that PETA kills 82 percent of its animals.

The Left Defends Unborn Babies

Hardcore abortion activists have determined certain “clumps of cells” have rights–but only if they are being carried by a noncitizen.

by Julie Kelly

If any good has emerged from the extended court battle over the president’s birthright citizenship order, it is that the Left finally discovered “rights” for unborn babies.

Not a right to live, of course, even up to full term; nearly every individual and group such as lawfare lurch Norm Eisen, Trump nemesis Mary McCord, and the ACLU who are suing the Trump administration over this issue are extreme abortion activists.

No, these same lefties now insist the unborn babies of women here illegally or temporarily, the basis of the executive order, have a right to American citizenship.

New lawsuits—filed mere hours after the Supreme Court last Friday overturned the use of nationwide preliminary injunctions—are asking judges to give classwide status to “[all] children who have been born or will be born in the United States on or after February 19, 2025.” If allowed, and no doubt the same Democratic judges will do so, the move will again halt implementation of the birthright citizenship policy via temporary restraining orders—the sort of relief SCOTUS recommended.

The new lawsuits include what are intended to be heart-tugging testimonials about the potential fate of unborn (and born) babies if Trump’s birthright citizenship policy is enacted. “The Executive Order harms class members by calling into doubt the citizenship of future newborns, leading to stress and anxiety for future parents who are left afraid and uncertain about the status of their children,” Eisen-represented attorneys wrote in a new filing in New Hampshire. “This stress can cause pregnancy complications, jeopardizing the health of mother and child alike.”

Health of the child, you say?



But the so-called “declarations” attached to two of the anti-birthright citizenship lawsuits underscore the morass of different circumstances that non-citizens exploit to make sure their child is born in America—and justifies in many ways the president’s desire to end the practice of what is commonly described as “anchor babies.”

Ingratitude, Indignation, and Entitlement

Take, for example, the story of “Barbara.” (Illegals and noncitizens in this matter and in the Alien Enemies Act litigation do not have to provide their real names.)

“Barbara” is a citizen of Honduras and lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three young children. She arrived here illegally in 2024; her husband also is not a U.S. citizen. “She and her husband are expecting their fourth child in October 2025,” the declaration reads. “Barbara fears that under the Order, her child will be denied U.S. citizenship at birth. She fears her child will be unjustly denied the security, rights, and opportunities that come with U.S. citizenship, leaving their future in doubt.”

Now, it is safe to assume this entire family, here illegally, do not financially support themselves. The children undoubtedly are enrolled in public schools and receive free meals among other school-based programs. It is very likely “Barbara” and her family receive other taxpayer-funded benefits such as SNAP, housing subsidies, health care, public transportation vouchers, and all the goodies now bestowed upon illegal immigrants.

At the very least, we know “Barbara” is getting free legal representation.

“Monica” and her husband are Venezuelan citizens living here under temporary protected status; they’ve been here since 2019. “Monica” claims to be a “trained medical doctor” and wants to get her medical degree here. (Details unknown.) She is due in August with their first child. “My husband and I are so excited to welcome our baby into the world but, at the same time, we are filled with uncertainty and fear over President Trump’s Executive Order that would deny our child U.S. citizenship,” she writes.

“Monica” says the stress has made her pregnancy “more difficult” and she now has second-thoughts about expanding her family in the future. “While my husband and I want more children, this Executive Order has made me afraid of bringing more life into this world.”

“Monica” then claims her lawsuit is not really about U.S. citizenship for her baby or anyone else’s. “It’s about what the Constitution says, and the Constitution says my child has a right to U.S. citizenship.”

Imagine being a guest in someone else’s country—a country you nor any member of your family helped to build, protect, or defend—and audaciously foot-stomping about your “rights” under a document you probably have not read and certainly do not understand.

That sense of entitlement and hubris permeates every declaration; few express appreciation for the opportunities they enjoy here. Take “Trinidad Garcia.” She and her husband came to the U.S. in 2017 from Venezuela on tourist visas. They currently have pending asylum claims.

She is due in July and blames the president for pregnancy-related complications. “I was diagnosed with both hypertension and gestational diabetes, and my doctor explained to me that stress and anxiety can worsen these conditions,” she wrote. (Apparently the doctor did not address what very likely is “Trinidad Garcia’s” obesity.)

“Because of these diagnoses, I have tried my best not to think or worry about the Executive Order President Trump issued that would deny my baby U.S. citizenship. But even though I have tried not to, I am very worried and anxious about the possibility that my baby might not be born a U.S. citizen.”

Can You Not Fight for “Justice” and “Rights” in Your Own Country?

But perhaps the account of “Liza” is the most infuriating. “Liza” is a Russian citizen, here since 2023 on a student visa to pursue a master’s degree. Her husband “Igor” arrived in 2024 and has a pending asylum claim. Their first child was born in February, but as her fellow noncitizen litigants also admit, “we hope to have more children in the future and grow our family.” Not back in their homeland of Russia–here in the United States.

“When I heard that President Trump signed an Executive Order that would have denied L.B. [the baby’s initials] U.S. citizenship, my world fell apart. I was about five months pregnant at the time. I was constantly worried that, without U.S. citizenship, L.B. would be stateless. This constant anxiety took a toll on my mental health.”

“Liza” claims she is afraid to use her real name in the lawsuit for fear “the U.S. government could revoke my student visa as punishment for speaking out, as it has done to so many international students on the same visa I have,” referring to the Trump administration’s restrictions on some student visas.

“Liza,” in the U.S. for less than two years, then mounted her rhetorical high horse. “”[Ever] since I was child myself, I have had a strong sense of justice. I don’t like seeing anyone deprived of their inherent rights, so I have always strived to fight for those who can’t defend themselves.” [Interesting to note that “Liza” did not stay in Russia to fight for “inherent rights” or “justice.”]

She continued her lecture. “Babies are the most defenseless amongst us and the Executive Order threatens to take away their most basic of right of citizenship. I feel that it is my role to stand up not just for my baby, but for all babies that can’t fight for themselves.”

Apparently pro-abortion interests now share the indignation of “Liza” and others over the rights of unborn babies.

And setting aside this new alliance with what the Left usually describes as “fetuses” or “clumps of cells,” it is hard to see how these sanctimonious, ungrateful, and defiant testimonials help their cause.

patfrederick

imagine the tear jerking pleas of the child of a criminal bank robber–yes dad stole the money but he bought me a car with that money and i need it to get to work. he bought me a house–where will we live now if we have to have the money back?
you cannot steal legitimacy.

pgroup2

… you cannot steal legitimacy.

But you can borrow it at the point of a gun. For an extended period.  😠 

pgroup2

They don’t qualify as a class. There is no ‘right’ which is being denied to them nor is there a tort they have in common.

This will last as long as the first multi-district complex litigation venue hearing. That’s the hearing where they first have to demonstrate FRCP 23 status.

It borders on frivolous as well because no jurisdiction in the U.S. defines unborn as a legal person. I wish it were so but …

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Monday, June 30, 2025

“But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” 

Mark 11:26 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR MARK 11

“Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. (1-11) The barren fig-tree cursed, The temple cleansed. (12-18) Prayer in faith. (19-26) The priests and elders questioned concerning John the Baptist.” (27-33)

(19-26)) “The disciples could not think why that fig-tree should so soon wither away; but all wither who reject Christ; it represented the state of the Jewish church. We should rest in no religion that does not make us fruitful in good works. Christ taught them from hence to pray in faith. It may be applied to that mighty faith with which all true Christians are endued, and which does wonders in spiritual things. It justifies us, and so removes mountains of guilt, never to rise up in judgment against us. It purifies the heart, and so removes mountains of corruption, and makes them plain before the grace of God. One great errand to the throne of grace is to pray for the pardon of our sins; and care about this ought to be our daily concern.”

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Geese can be pretty mean. Daughter was playing in a golf match in high school at one course and her foursome was attacked while putting on the green. 😂 It was before you could shoot videos quickly on a mobile phone or I would have done it to embarrass them. They were squealing and running away like 3 year olds. I asked all four what was in their hands (golf clubs). It did not occur to them they had nice weapons in them to fend the geese off. It was obviously nesting season and the girls got too close. 😂

In Germany where I grew up was a river through town and people used to let their geese nest and graze near the river bank. My friend and I used to walk along the river as kids and were chased by geese. Was normal and their bit was just a pinch we did not care .

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

FORGIVE ME, LORD

Your commands are simple – but hard to keep;
For falling short of your precepts – I weep;
For the consequence of sin is surely death;
Separation from You – gasping for breath!
 
What have I done – what is missing from me?
How could it have happened – how could it be?
Where have I failed – fallen short in my faith;
With Your Grace removed – I wallow in wraith!
 
Send forth Your Spirit – to help me discern;
Give me Your Wisdom – please help me to learn;
You know my heart, Lord – as no person can;
Help me uncover – what’s for me in your plan!
 
There are no excuses for falling short;
Nor are their reasons to which we resort;
No justification could we conjure up now;
For thwarting our relation to God anyhow!
 
I pray You will lead be me back to Your path;
Let me not stumble – or suffer Your wrath;
Hide Your face not from me – be near, Oh Lord;
Teach me and reach me – through Your Holy Word!
 
As I pray in the Word – let Your scriptures speak;
Help me be humble – help me be meek;
Let Your Spirit instruct – let Him convict;
Open my eyes, Lord – let my heart be pricked!
 
Reveal in my heart – Your message today;
Remove the distraction – let nothing defray;
From the outside in – and inside outward;
Forgive Me, Lord – help me move about ward!
 
Whether or not you believe it could be;
The righteous man sins seven times – daily;
Therefore it’s important – prudent for he;
To repent, reconcile and – be holy!
 
The Bible tells us – do pray unceasingly;
Keep God in your heart – ever increasingly;
Be mindful and watchful of what you do;
Say – defray – don’t delay – He wants you!
 
Do you think for a moment salvation is free?
Do you think God offers it unconditionally?
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, paid the ransom for sin;
Your sins are forgiven – to let you back in!
 
When you entertain demons – devils defy;
Your soul is in jeopardy – can you see why?
The Spirit lives not in a temple defiled;
With no inspiration – you are beguiled!
 
A devil comes in all shapes and sizes;
Temptation is simple – he so devises;
There are deadly sins – yes – seven in all;
That sneak up on you – like a plague befall!
 
Just when you think all is going quite well;
That pesky devil lures you to hell;
Watch your back – your tongue – be ever prayerful;
Repent seven times – and please be careful!
 
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive;
Put on your armor – continue to live;
With faith and through grace under protection;
Pass all your tests and do pass inspection!

Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! It’s the final day of June; tomorrow I can safely say we’re halfway through the year. In today’s roundup: a brief explainer of an inside C&C joke for our Portland friends; Canada folds faster than a cheap Mexican suit after Trump draws a fresh line in the trade war debate; Times informs readers they have no right to a bank account, but Texas lobs a gold hand grenade into the bankers’ bunker; major MAHA influencer agrees with me about the new ACIP’s historic first committee meeting and I have thoughts; more charges against Democrat China operative rip the mask off pandemic grift, giving us a chance to examine the ugly underside of what really happened to us— and how.

Conquered

My soul was lost in sin’s decay,
No spark of grace to light my way.
My future loomed, hopeless and grim,
Till God’s strong hand drew me to Him.

My heart, once blind, defied His call,
Sin’s strong allure was my downfall.
Yet on the cross, His love was shown –
Sin was crushed, its lure overthrown.

With Christ, my guilt was nailed to die,
His blood the ransom, paid on high.
Through death’s defeat, new life He gave,
Sin’s chains were broken, my soul saved.

His victory turned my night to day,
His mercy lit the narrow way.
Now free, I walk where grace has led,
By Christ’s own strength, my soul is fed.

This risen life, His gift divine,
In Christ alone, true freedom’s mine.
Sin’s reign is done, Christ’s throne endured,
My soul, once lost, is His, now cured.

Total defeat was best for me,
‘Cause I got total victory.
The life Christ gave was for my gain;
Sin was conquered, so Christ could reign.

The biggest problem is the Executive IS FOLLOWING THE LAW and the subordinate judges are making stuff up.

8 U.S. Code § 1227 – Deportable aliens

(a)Classes of deportable aliens

Any alien (including an alien crewman) in and admitted to the United States shall, upon the order of the Attorney General, be removed if the alien is within one or more of the following classes of deportable aliens:

(1)Inadmissible at time of entry or of adjustment of status or violates status

(A)Inadmissible aliens

Any alien who at the time of entry or adjustment of status was within one or more of the classes of aliens inadmissible by the law existing at such time is deportable.

(B)Present in violation of law

Any alien who is present in the United States in violation of this chapter or any other law of the United States, or whose nonimmigrant visa (or other documentation authorizing admission into the United States as a nonimmigrant) has been revoked under section 1201(i) of this title, is deportable.

(C)Violated nonimmigrant status or condition of entry

(i)Nonimmigrant status violators

Any alien who was admitted as a nonimmigrant and who has failed to maintain the nonimmigrant status in which the alien was admitted or to which it was changed under section 1258 of this title, or to comply with the conditions of any such status, is deportable.

  :wpds_arrow: (ii)Violators of conditions of entry

Any alien whom the Secretary of Health and Human Services certifies has failed to comply with terms, conditions, and controls that were imposed under section 1182(g) of this title is deportable.

(D)Termination of conditional permanent residence

(i)In general

Any alien with permanent resident status on a conditional basis under section 1186a of this title (relating to conditional permanent resident status for certain alien spouses and sons and daughters) or under section 1186b of this title (relating to conditional permanent resident status for certain alien entrepreneurs, spouses, and children) who has had such status terminated under such respective section is deportable.

[Singing reminded us of this. As an alien YOU HAVE TO REGISTER and inform the government of your address esp if it changes. Almost ALL of these illegals fail in this test.]

👉(3)Failure to register and falsification of documents

👉(A)Change of address

An alien who has failed to comply with the provisions of section 1305 of this title is deportable, unless the alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such failure was reasonably excusable or was not willful.

👉(B)Failure to register or falsification of documents

Any alien who at any time has been convicted—

(i)under section 1306(c) of this title or under section 36(c) of the Alien Registration Act, 1940,

(ii)of a violation of, or an attempt or a conspiracy to violate, any provision of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (22 U.S.C. 611 et seq.), or

(iii)of a violation of, or an attempt or a conspiracy to violate, section 1546 of title 18 (relating to fraud and misuse of visas, permits, and other entry documents),

Panicked U.N. Calls Aid Crisis Meeting After U.S. Funding Withdrawal

Send money. That is the message an exasperated United Nations delivered Monday as it hosted the biggest appeal for funds in a decade following the withdrawal of the U.S. from aid agreements brokered by the globalist body.

At least 50 world leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, Kenya’s William Ruto, E.U. chief Ursula von der Leyen and U.N. head Antonio Guterres are in Seville, Spain, for the hurried four-day gathering that seeks at least four trillion dollars to help the U.N. meet its aid targets.

The United States is snubbing the talks after President Donald Trump gutted the U.S. development agency USAID, as Breitbart News reported.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck out at what he called the U.S. “foreign aid industrial complex” during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in May, despairing at the inability of USAID to deliver funds where they are needed most.

Rubio directly targeted the organization, adding the time has come for root-and-branch change.

“At USAID, 12 cents of every dollar was reaching the recipient. That means that in order for us to get aid to somebody, we had to spend all this other money supporting this foreign aid industrial complex,” Rubio said.

“We’re going to find more efficient ways to deliver aid to people directly. It’s going to be directed by our regional bureaus. It’s going to sponsor programs that make a difference. And it’s going to be part of a holistic approach to our foreign policy.”

NEW—CNN pushes new app “ICEBlock” meant to “track ICE activity in real time,” alerting illegal aliens before they are detained and deported.

The app is completely free and anonymous to use.

The app maker doesn’t want people interfering with ICE, just to be able to avoid them. This is aiding illegals and seems illegal to me.

Sur sounds like this dude should be brought up on these charges. Even if they do not stick he will be kept busy.

8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens

(A)Any person who—

…. (iii)knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

(iv)encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or

(v)

(I)engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or

(II)aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,

shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).

(B)A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—

(ii)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;

(iii)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) during and in relation to which the person causes serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of title 18) to, or places in jeopardy the life of, any person, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and

(iv)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both….

…..

I went looking for the above and also found this:

Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) strengthened U.S. immigration laws, adding penalties for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes while in the United States or who stay in the U.S. for statutorily defined periods of time. 

The Act was designed to improve border control by imposing criminal penalties for racketeering, alien smuggling and the use or creation of fraudulent immigration-related documents and increasing interior enforcement by agencies charged with monitoring visa applications and visa abusers.

The Act also allows for the deportation of undocumented immigrants who 👉commit a misdemeanor👈 or a felony.

The Act mandates that immigrants who are unlawfully present in the U.S. for 180 days but under 365 days must remain outside the United States for three years unless pardoned. If they remain in the United States for 365 days or more, they must stay outside the United States for ten years unless they obtain a waiver. However, if they return to the U.S. without the pardon, they must wait 10 years until they may apply for a waiver.

Update:

Public corruption will not be tolerated as the Director and I vigorously pursue bad actors who violated their oaths to all of us.

We view the theft of public funds the same way. It’s a crime against all of us. Today, in conjunction with the DOJ and our federal partners, we are announcing the results from the largest healthcare fraud investigation, as measured by financial losses, in DOJ history.

The investigation spanned 50 federal districts, and resulted in nearly 3 billion dollars in false claims with over 15 million illegal distributions of pills. We seized 245 million dollars, we charged 324 defendants, 96 medical professionals, and the intended losses from these bad actors approached 15 billion dollars.

Results matter. Talk is cheap. And this is not even the beginning of the beginning. If you’re stealing from the public, or violating your oath to serve, then we’re coming for you too.

Who Was Wess Roley? Suspect Identified in Deadly Idaho Wildfire Ambush

Authorities have identified Wess Roley as the gunman responsible for Sunday’s horrifying ambush on Canfield Mountain that left two firefighters dead and a third critically injured. 

According to law enforcement, Roley deliberately set a wildfire and then opened fire on responding fire crews, luring them into a deadly trap.

Roley, whose body was discovered Sunday evening near a firearm, was found in the rugged terrain of Canfield Mountain outside Coeur d’Alene. A law enforcement official confirmed his identity to Channel2 NOW on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation.

The incident began around 1:21 p.m. on Sunday when emergency calls were made reporting a brush fire in the heavily wooded hills of Canfield Mountain. 

As first responders from the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and Kootenai County Fire & Rescue arrived to assess and contain the fire, gunfire erupted.

Two firefighters were struck and killed during the initial ambush. 

A third firefighter was also shot and transported to a local hospital in critical condition. He later underwent emergency surgery and is now reported to be in stable condition.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said during a press briefing that the attack was a premeditated ambush, likely carried out using a high-powered rifle…

As the situation escalated, Sheriff Norris authorized law enforcement to engage with deadly force. 

By 4:30 p.m., he had deployed two helicopters carrying snipers, with instructions to neutralize the shooter if an opportunity presented itself.

Roley was found deceased shortly after, although it remains unclear whether he was shot by law enforcement or died by suicide. 

Sheriff Norris later confirmed that based on ballistic trajectory and the weapons recovered, investigators believe Roley acted alone.

While Roley’s motive is still under investigation, authorities suspect he intentionally ignited the fire to ambush emergency responders. Sheriff Norris stated that further evidence, including additional weapons, may be recovered from the scene.

As the wildfire continued to spread to more than 20 acres, fire crews were pulled back due to ongoing gunfire…

He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor assault, receiving a sentence of 180 days in jail with 150 days suspended. He was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and complete anger management classes.

– Roley’s social media activity, particularly on X, revealed disturbing content. He posted about his disdain for authority figures, including police and firefighters, and expressed radical views. His posts included threats and general hostility toward society, which raised concerns among those who followed him.

-Additionally, he was known to have made threats against his family, leading to a no-contact order being issued against him.

JUST IN: Senate Rejects Measure to Kick Illegals Off Medicaid 56-44

The Senate, during a vote-a-rama on the One Big Beautiful Bill on Monday afternoon, failed to include a provision that would end illegal aliens from fraudulently receiving Medicaid benefits.

Per Townhall, the vote to remove illegals from Medicaid failed by a margin of 56-44.

Removing illegals from Medicaid benefits was one of the key provisions in the bill that the unelected Senate Parliamentarian rejected by applying the “Byrd Rule.” This causes these provisions to require 60 votes instead of a simple majority.

If it weren’t for the Senate Parliamentarian’s rejection of this measure, it would have passed.

This failed vote comes after RINO Thom Tillis, who announced he will not seek reelection after Trump slammed him in a statement, was railing on the Senate Floor against the bill’s cuts to Medicaid for illegal aliens, refugees, and asylum seekers…

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to his dishonest rant during a press briefing earlier on Monday, saying that Tillis is “wrong” as she highlighted how the bill protects American citizens who need Medicaid assistance and removes 1.4 million illegals from the program.

“He is just wrong, and the President and the vast majority of Republicans who are supportive of this legislation are right. This bill protects Medicaid, as I laid out for you, for those who truly deserve this program, the needy, pregnant women, children, sick Americans who physically cannot work. And what it does is it ensures that able bodied Americans who can work 20 hours a week are actually doing so, and that will therefore strengthen and protect those benefits for Americans who need it, as well as cutting out the waste, fraud and abuse, as well as getting 1.4 million illegal aliens off of the program,” Leavitt told reporters…

The House is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to vote on the final version of the bill as passed by the Senate.

However, it is unclear how many Republicans plan to oppose the bill due to the changes made during the Senate’s debate.

Happy go lucky

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness

Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
 
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
 
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
 
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
 
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance

Heavenly Father, as I lie down to sleep tonight, I pray that You would guard my sleeping and protect my mind from wandering thoughts and unnecessary planning. Teach me to wait for Your perfect timing and not to try to plan my future in my own strength.
 
Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life. Help me to trust You in all things and rely on You to lead me along the straight path and guide me in the direction that You would have me to go.
 
Give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing, and may I not trust in my own abilities and scheming, but rather rest in Your love and trust my future into Your hands.
 
And so now Lord, I commit this night to you, asking that I would rest soundly and wake refreshed and strong to do Your bidding. This I ask in Jesus’ precious name,
 
Amen.

Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
 
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
 
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
 
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful nights sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,

Elon Musk Pledges to Launch Third Party if Big Beautiful Bill Passes Congress
June 30, 2025 

SD: “For those who have spent time in the lead up to this moment, you may remember our warning that Elon Musk would eventually take a position against President Trump and actively work to undermine the MAGA agenda therein.

Tonight as the Senate debates the Big Beautiful Bill, that does not include subsidies for his electric vehicles and green energy initiatives, Elon Musk promises to organize a third party. This was all predictable.

The bill is imperfect, yes. However, the BBB contains the priorities of President Trump and those priorities are the goals and objectives of the people who voted to support his vision. Elon Musk is now actively working against the interests of the Make America Great Again movement, and he is intent on dividing the MAGA coalition.

He’s also talking about going after members of the Freedom Caucus.

Elon Musk threatens to primary ‘certain republicans.’

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, on Monday said he would back challengers to members of Congress who vote for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Musk broke his short-lived X silence about the bill over the weekend, unloading on it for being “utterly insane.” On Monday, Musk criticized “every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history,” vowing that “they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”

Earlier Monday Musk fired off a few other posts on X criticizing the bill as “insane” and taking direct aim at the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

“How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the biggest debt ceiling increase in history?

Truthfully though, the BBB is not supposed to be a be all end all. Subsequent legislation is promised. The BBB is meant to get things rolling and Spur the Trump Economy. The cuts have always been promised later. Whether they actually come or not is an open question given the hurdles they will face. Not passing the BBB in a timely manner has been seen as a non starter. Elon knows this stuff. Might be all talk to hold their feet to the fire.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr Tells Tucker Carlson all the Terrible Stuff HHS is Doing
June 30, 2025 

SD: “As Robert F Kennedy Jr outlines all the bad things the Health and Human Services agency is doing, terrible vaccines, dangerous food additives, horrible health effects from toxic food chemicals, along with corruption, bribery and pay-to-play schemes within the medical advisory system, someone ought to tell him he’s the Health and Human Services Secretary now.

Secretary RFK JR sits down with Tucker Carlson to outline all the deleterious impacts from the processes that flow out of the healthcare system he now controls.”
