Dear MAGA: 20260108 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.


If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Well, let’s just start off today’s Temu Trinkets with a real doozy!


(1) – This researcher is refreshingly funny. Even when he’s talking about…. well, just watch.


(2) – So what does “the other anthropology chick” think happened to the Neanderthals? Find out!


(3) – Veritasium does antimatter!


(4) – No AI slop here. Dude raised a praying mantis and documented it all on video.


(5) – On his 100th birthday anniversary, Richard Feynman’s daughter talks about what his family life was like – and it’s very clear just how important his family was to him!


Have a great weekend!

From https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/01/07/wife-of-slain-minneapolis-domestic-terrorist-allegedly-caught-on-tape-filming-incident-sobbing-afterward-n2197894

Meanwhile, in another video that can be seen at the NY Post website, what appears to be the same woman can be seen crying in the aftermath and lamenting that it was her fault. According to the outlet, the woman was seen in numerous other clips from before and after the deadly incident, and had been seen closely following federal agents and filming them.

A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner’s killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows.

The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good’s wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened.

“I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” the woman said through sobs. “They just shot my wife.”

Someone needs to scoop up and protect the kids until the psychopoliticalsexual drama subsides. Unfortunately, most CPS organizations are even more f’ed in the head than these “parents”.

I read somewhere yesterday that the boy’s grandfather was asking to come and get him. I hope he does.

Hence the meaningless term “legal observer.”

From that NY Post link:

She had also allegedly been part of a group of protestors that had been “stalking and impeding” ICE agents throughout the day, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Wednesday morning, adding that Good “weaponized” her car.

The woman who stated she was Good’s wife was seen in numerous other clips from before and after the deadly incident.

Just before the gunshots rang out, she was seen closely following federal agents and filming them.

She was also standing near the car when the shots rang out, and didn’t seem to notice that anything had happened until it sped away and wrecked…

kalbokalbs

…blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole…

“They just shot my wife.”

Both mentally ill. Well, one today.

Wonder if they were locals. Or from? Staying where? Paid protestors…?

cthulhu

They were recently in Minnesota, previously in Missouri, brought their children along.

pgroup2

Brought their legally state-stolen children along.

IOW state trafficing in children, commomly called adoption.

pgroup2

I was wrong about adoption. Sorry. But it was state-sanctioned child theft’s cousin – custody court. The judge almost always gives kids of divorce to the female, especially if she is a member of the queer brigade.

Aubergine

I have my doubts about the older kids being in Minnesota, but I don’t know for sure.

They are from the dead woman’s first marriage, and I think their father is living. It could be he has them. I hope he does.

pgroup2

He always has sole custody by operation of law because he is the only living parent. Same thing happened to me in California when my ex-wife died.

It sounds strange but it seems that the estate of a dead person cannot have custody rights. This means that some attorney tried to get a ruling that the custody rights became assets of the estate.

It’s good that his argument failed.

Aubergine

I just meant that I hope they were in his physical custody, and not in Minnesota with the lesbo freak couple.

scott467

I’m amazed that he fired. I’m sure she was too.

It’s always a possibility, but not usually for a woman. And that’s part of the problem. We have several generations of women today who have grown up with different standards applied to them.

I doubt she was trying to run him over, the wheel is turned like she’s trying to get away and drive down the street. A man knows that if you even hint at something like that, it may be the last thing you ever do. But lots of women don’t.

They’re used to doing whatever they want to do, bossing people around, just like that video I posted in yesterday’s thread, about the white liberal woman who converted to islam and is now making videos and quoting the Koran and bossing around the entire religion of islam about how they need to accept gays and trans.

That video is really something, almost unbelievable, or like a SNL skit from the late 1980s or early 1990s, before they went totally politically-correct. But this is how a lot of younger wymyn today act. It has become normal. Because they don’t experience consequences for their actions. Until they do, until they go too far, and then it’s too late.

Looks like the front corner of the car was past the cop by the time he fired, which makes sense, because if he wasn’t, he would have gone under the car.

If you have time to aim and shoot, you have even more time to just dive out of the way.

It’s not like she was Dillinger. It was a lunatic Leftist soccer Mom in a minivan. It’s not like she was going to make a run for the border. Could have just followed her home and arrested her.

What a sad and unnecessary death. The cop has a case for self defense, but he has to live with what happened for the rest of his life, and so does the family of the woman.

jgreen42

The reasoning in this incident is still 99% FAFO, throwing adjectives at it doesn’t change a thing. IMO

Gail Combs

Exactly!

He was hit, and acted. He could not see the wheels given he was aiming a gun.. All he would know is she backed up and then headed straight at him. A cop with a gun drawn. Thus he could expect her to back up again and try to run him over.

patfrederick

no, I am not going to blame the officer AT ALL.
the left demands it–she was leaving–didn’t want to hit him–he had time.
could’ve would’ve should’ve.
what kind of self important LUNATIC charges a cop in a car? what if she didn’t veer at the last moment what if she had a gun and was gonna shoot him dead in that second? what if , what if, what if?
you don’t aim a weapon if you don’t intend to use it and that goes for CARS too.

scott467

I understand. I’m not blaming the officer. It’s a judgment call made in an instant. Could have gone either way. There are lots of videos on youtoob where a cop has his gun drawn, and the suspect takes off in the car anyway, almost hitting the cop as they flee.

A lot of times, I would say most of the time, at least from the videos I have seen, the cop can’t bring himself to do it, or for some other reason, he doesn’t shoot, and runs back to his car and takes up the chase.

But sometimes they do shoot.

Either one can be justified.

patfrederick

sorry for the rant.
I’m increasingly sickened by the treatment of ICE, and law enforcement in general. the left acts with impunity some times and inevitably like children, they go too far.

scott467

Me too!

pgroup2

The ones that don’t shoot are scared of lawyers.  😂 

pgroup2

Adrenaline changes everything.

Unless he’s had the level of training our military spec operators do, he had no real idea of how he’d react.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was already over regardless of what he might have mentally planned.

Aubergine

I had to go watch the video I missed yesterday. Holy shit. That woman is going to be dead in 3, 2, 1…

Second, I DID notice the “bird hands.” And it makes me want to punch a woman in the face when they do it. And I’m pretty sure I have NEVER done that gesture towards anyone OR towards myself. I don’t have the mental disorder that leads to that, I guess.

In the video the guy says “you don’t have to be forceful if you’re actually in control.” I guess maybe that’s why I don’t do it. I don’t force, I persuade. And if I can’t persuade, but I’m adamant, I walk away. Which, I observe, is pretty much how men do it, unless they actually fight. Which I don’t want to do, because I don’t want to go to jail, lol!

I don’t think we should Monday morning quarterback the ICE agent. From watching the various videos, he was already aiming his weapon at the woman in the car before the car moved. He was directly in front of the car. Chances are he moved his finger to the trigger when the car started to move. When she hit him, he fired. I doubt he had much time to consider it. That’s my take.

scott467

“That woman is going to be dead in 3, 2, 1…”

___________

I can only imagine the kind of replies she has received from muzzies in Stanstanistan 😂

Somebody, who isn’t insane, better talk with her, but based on her attitude, I doubt anyone could get through to her besides a muzzie with a machete.

And she’ll still be haranguing him and calling him a bigot and a homophobe and giving him the bird hands, as he chops her up in little pieces… like the King Arthur and the Black Knight fight scene in Monty Python’s Holy Grail 😂

^^^^ Proper response to those participating in insurrection at the encouragement and direction of corrupt criminal government organizations. That would be the state of Minnesota since the governor is their highest supposedly elected official..

TradeBait2

One side takes orders from Commie criminal government. The other side abides by the Constitution and laws of somewhat duly elected representatives. Don’t go Minnesota Retard.

They are not protesting the British occupation. They are protesting the administration of the law. That makes them criminals as well. As KK said, FAFO. Thankfully. Those inciting it are insurrectionists – more criminals.

“…a tragedy of her own making.”

Truer words never spoken.

And she was another leftist loon who had gone off her tree. She has a 15-year-old and a 12-year-old from her first husband, a six-year-old from her second husband, and yesterday, her WIFE was filming from outside the car when she got shot.

When are people going to figure out that living in perversion and abnormality only ever leads to bad outcomes?

scott467

“When are people going to figure out that living in perversion and abnormality only ever leads to bad outcomes?”

_____________

They’re not going to figure out anything.

You can’t talk to a Leftist woman about anything. You can’t reason with her, you can’t appeal to morality, the only thing you can potentially employ is emotion.

And frankly, society can’t run on emotionalism.

So in the absence of the ability to get through to psychotic Leftist women, the only practical thing we can do is disempower them.

Kneecap them.

Ignore them, defund their interests, cut them off from access to any type of public assistance, and move on without them.

They represent a dead end in evolutionary psychology.

Going the way of the Dodo bird.

I read someone’s comment a long time ago on CTH about what an American civil war would look like now, and it really stuck with me. It wouldn’t be territorial. People everywhere would start disappearing, other people would be found dead with no leads as to how. First it would be the people “at the top” of even local governments, and it would work its way down to left vs, right average citizens eventually, if it went that far.

People seem to forget just how many trained ex-military citizens are running around in the U.S., and how very many guns there are. And how many just average people with those guns have training. It would get very ugly very fast. The thought scares the hell out of me.

kalbokalbs

States falling one way or another. Generally, the way I have thought of it.

Just had a notion. Heavily influence by, Blue county, Red county. Imagine the county voting results.

  • Blue counties, Blue States short straw.
  • Guessing Right leaning counties will not follow their libtarded, state government.

Brave

  • Veterans. As of 2023, approximately 15.8 million Americans identified as veterans, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This number has been steadily declining over the past decades, with a drop of more than 5.9 million veterans between 2010 and 2023. However, estimates from different sources vary slightly: Pew Research Center reported more than 18 million living veterans in 2023, representing about 6% of the adult population  , while the Department of Veterans Affairs projected 19.1 million veterans in fiscal 2023.
  • Hunters. As of 2022, there were 14.4 million hunters aged 16 years and older in the United States, according to the most recent National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.
  • Guns. As of mid-2025, it is estimated that there are approximately 500 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States, which equates to about 150 guns per 100 people or 1.5 firearms per citizen, including children.

Hope we never get there. We’ll Not Submit.

That 500 million civilian owned firearms number has been floating around at least since the Hussein administration, if not earlier.

Despite FBI firearm background checks setting new records on a regular basis, for the last 17 years. Yet the ‘official’ number of firearms in America never budges.

It’s like Col. MacGregor saying Ukrainian casualties are 300,000 and rising, and then using the same number in every interview, for over a year.

Either the war ended and nobody told MacGregor, or he can’t count 😂

Laughing here.

Feds have ZERO handle on number of guns are out there. None.

Thought of adding the following to my post up slightly.

“Ghost” gun numbers are significant. WAG, hundreds of thousands. Perhaps they top, a million. Simply no way of knowing.

Quite easy to machine, with the right equipment. Wish I owned a CNC machine. Assembly, easy. 100% legal.

I enjoyed the praying mantis and the Richard Feynman videos! I always thought it would be fun to be around Feynman. I would not have understood what he taught, but watching how his mind worked would have been a privilege.

Feynman’s hobbies of lockpicking and drumming might have kept you entertained, but his series of lectures on YouTube can give you some insight into how his mind worked.

Yes, I’ve seen some of the lectures and have read a book about him. The things he did in everyday life, like those his daughter described, are the product of a brilliant and creative mind.

Solar variability and climate change’ Geomagnetic aa index and global surface temperature

E.W. Cliver •and V. Borikoff •

Air Force Research Laboratory, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts

J. Feynman

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California

Abstract.

…Our analysis is admittedly crude and ignores known contributors to climate change such as warming by anthropogenic greenhouse-gases or  👉 cooling by volcanic aerosols  😆 ….

Introduction.

….In particular, various authors have noted that solar irradiance proxies and global surface temperatures declined for an interval during the middle of the present century while the concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2, which cause global warming, rose monotonically.

Discussion

The implication is that the geomagnetic minimum between cycles 23 and 24 (in -.•2007) will not exceed that of the 1996 geomagnetic minimum(18.6 nT) which itself was slightly lower than the 1987 aa minimum (19.0 nT), and that the underlying trend in solar irradiance will continue to be fiat or downward. As of this writing it appears that the average aa value for 1997 will be even lower (-.•16nT) than that of 1996.

Such a leveling off or decline of the long-term solar component of climate change will help to disentangle its effects from that of anthropogenic greenhouse warming .

I think this answers a question I’ve had:

Take fat jabs for life, experts rule – as pivotal study reveals users coming off the drugs pile the pounds back on in under two years
Apparently people are not changing their lifestyle or how they eat. They’re just taking a drug that enables them to lose weight, while learning nothing.

(emphasis mine)

…In the first analysis of its kind, examining 37 studies involving more than 9,300 people, researchers found that when the jabs are stopped, weight returns rapidly – regardless of how much was lost.

On average, users gained around a pound a month after quitting, with many projected to have regained much of or all the weight lost by between 17 and 20 months.

Professor Susan Jebb, co-author of the study and adviser to ministers and the NHS on obesity, suggested people may need a lifetime solution – such as jabs or behaviour change support or both – to tackle obesity in the long-term.

So in 2026, experts still don’t know that “behavior change” is needed to lose weight. And it’s not just about losing weight. It’s about maintaining a healthy weight, which can require periodic tweaks to one’s diet. The body is a mechanism that needs attention and care instead of having a drug thrown at it so its inhabitant remains clueless.

cthulhu

This is why I am so pleased at the MAHA announcement today of a new government food paradigm — EAT REAL FOOD!!!

The old Food Pyramid, Food Plate, and other BS was an absolute pathway to chronic diseases of bad nutrition — seed oils, carbs, lo-fat, low-protein, highly processed, chemically-packed garbage.

kalbokalbs

Likely this came out yesterday or day before. I largely missed. So, repetition…

Seems I’ve been eating pretty healthy after all.  🙂 

Brave

The U.S. government released new dietary guidelines on January 7, 2026, introducing an inverted food pyramid that prioritizes protein, full-fat dairy, healthy fats, and vegetables at the top, while placing whole grains at the bottom. This marks a significant shift from the previous MyPlate model and earlier food pyramids, emphasizing whole, nutrient-dense foods and urging Americans to avoid ultra-processed foods and added sugars.

  • The inverted pyramid visually flips decades of dietary advice, moving away from the Obama-era MyPlate guide that recommended equal portions of grains, vegetables, protein, and fruit.
  • Protein is now emphasized with a recommended intake of 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight daily, and full-fat dairy is encouraged as long as it contains no added sugars.
  • Healthy fats—including sources like olive oil, butter, and beef tallow—are promoted, though the limit on saturated fat remains at 10% of daily calories.
  • Ultraprocessed foods such as chips, cookies, and sugary drinks are explicitly discouraged, with a strong focus on home-prepared, minimally processed meals.
  • The guidelines are part of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) initiative, which frames the shift as a response to rising obesity and chronic disease rates

Withdrawal from Wasteful, Ineffective, or Harmful International Organizations

…The days of billions of dollars in taxpayer money flowing to foreign interests at the expense of our people are over.

As such, the United States will be withdrawing from the 66 organizations that can be found here.

As this list begins to demonstrate, what started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests. From DEI mandates to “gender equity” campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the “End of History.” These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks—the multilateral “NGO-plex”— that we have begun dismantling through the closure of USAID.

VP Vance says Tim Walz should resign over massive Minnesota welfare fraud scandal investigation
Vance vows prosecution as administration sends investigators to multiple locations nationwide
Vice President JD Vance says Minnesota’s fraud scandal reflects a larger scheme and that the Trump administration believes there is a nationwide fraud ring perpetrated by illegal aliens and others taking advantage of the American welfare system.

“Anybody who is involved is going to get prosecuted,” Vance vowed on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Wednesday.

The vice president’s comments come as the Trump administration is pausing over $10 billion to five Democrat-run states, including California, over concerns that money was fraudulently given to noncitizens.

Vance addressed whether he thinks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who announced Monday he would not seek re-election, should resign over his state’s fraud scandal, which is estimated to be at least $9 billion.

Billionaires make strategic moves out of California ahead of proposed wealth tax
Larry Page moves companies to Delaware and Florida while Larry Ellison sells San Francisco home for $45M
As the clock ticks on California’s billionaires facing a proposed wealth tax, some of America’s top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State.

Google co-founder Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California, as public filings reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State’s office show several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December, ahead of the Jan. 1, 2026, residency date tied to the proposed tax. Those filings indicate his family office, Koop LLC, and his influenza research fund, Flu Lab LLC, no longer list California, while a flying-car venture, One Aero, now lists its primary address in Florida.

Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken steps that signal a potential pullback from California, though details of a reported $45 million off-market sale of his San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets. The New York Post reported the sale and said it would mark the city’s largest real estate transaction of 2025.

“I’m a retired airline Captain. While landing a Heavy aircraft in Mexico City airport all four tires on the right landing gear locked up and blew melting the wheel hubs flat. No one hurt. It was a malfunctioning anti skid system on that set of wheels.

Things do happen but aircraft are designed and built to handle it. Thank goodness we were well trained and had thousands of hours experience.

Today airlines are DIE ing flight crew recruitment. Look up United airlines recruitment program for DEI flight crew members.

They can train recruits to pass the minimum testing but nothing will replace EXPERIENCE.

Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Wednesday that President Donald Trump has approved a Russian sanctions bill designed to pressure Moscow to end its war with Ukraine.

Graham revealed the development in a post on X, describing it as a pivotal shift in the U.S. approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 

“After a very productive meeting today with President Trump on a variety of issues, he greenlit the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that I have been working on for months with Senator Blumenthal and many others,” Graham said.

We’ve got no basis to do this while we are STILL pouring money into that shithole country despite most Americans wanting us to stop.

Trump and Colombian president arrange White House meeting after threats of military action
Gustavo Petro called Trump to ‘explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements’ between the countries

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said arrangements are being made for representatives of the United States and Colombia to meet at the White House.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Colombian President Gustavo Petro “called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements” between the two countries, adding the two leaders are expected to meet in the near future.

“It was a Great Honor to speak with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had,” Trump wrote. “I appreciated his call and tone, and look forward to meeting him in the near future.”

Trump said arrangements were also being coordinated between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Colombia’s foreign minister, adding the meeting will take place at the White House.

A vote on extending Obamacare subsidies is expected in the House on Thursday

Nine House Republicans bucked their party leaders on Wednesday evening to advance a vote on a Democrat-led healthcare bill.

The nine GOP lawmakers’ support was key to pushing ahead on a vote to extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies that expired at the end of last year. A vote on the bill itself is now expected Thursday afternoon.

It’s a blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who argued for weeks that the majority of House Republicans were opposed to extending the COVID-19 pandemic-era tax subsidies.

Trump demands California hand over recipient lists as $10B paused amid fraud concerns
The administration is pausing over $10 billion to five Democratic states, citing concerns money was fraudulently given to noncitizens
The Trump administration is demanding California hand over a list of people and groups that receive taxpayer funds amid concerns money was fraudulently funneled to noncitizens.

On Tuesday, the administration announced it will pause more than $10 billion in funds to five Democrat-led states, including California, amid widespread claims of fraud. 

In a series of letters to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Administration for Children and Families said the Department of Health and Human Services will halt taxpayer funding to the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the Social Services Block Grant.

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 Thursday, January 8, 2026

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped…”

Psalms 28:7 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 28

A prayer in distress. (1-5) Thanksgiving for deliverance. (6-9)

6-9 Has God heard our supplications? Let us then bless his name. The Lord is my strength, to support me, and carry me on through all my services and sufferings. The heart that truly believes, shall in due time greatly rejoice: we are to expect joy and peace in believing. God shall have the praise of it: thus must we express our gratitude. The saints rejoice in others’ comfort as well as their own: we have the less benefit from the light of the sun, nor from the light of God’s countenance, for others’ sharing therein. The psalmist concludes with a short, but comprehensive prayer. God’s people are his inheritance, and precious in his eyes. He prays that God would save them; that he would bless them with all good, especially the plenty of his ordinances, which are food to the soul. And direct their actions and overrule their affairs for good. Also, lift them up for ever; not only those of that age, but his people in every age to come; lift them up as high as heaven. There, and there only, will saints be lifted up for ever, never more to sink, or be depressed. Save us, Lord Jesus, from our sins; bless us, thou Son of Abraham, with the blessing of righteousness; feed us, thou good Shepherd of the sheep, and lift us up for ever from the dust, O thou, who art the Resurrection and the Life.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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.

TRUST GOD

When the walls come crashing down on you
When slings and arrows fly out of the blue
When all appears lost with no hope in sight
When no solution adheres to your plight 

TRUST GOD

When you are weary of thinking it through
When you’ve exhausted a way out for you
When the voices in your head keep damning
When the doors and windows keep slamming

TRUST GOD

Remember that God is a friend not a foe
He is right by your side wherever you go
He does not condemn when you have fallen
He is right there waiting when you call in

TRUST GOD

When your options are few or so you think
He is there with a hand up from the brink
Go quickly to Him as your first import
Let Him never be your last resort

TRUST GOD

When there seems to be no relief from pain
Keep pleading with Him all over again
Perhaps you have trouble praying outright
Take authority it will be alright

TRUST GOD

Be honest and tell Him down on your knees
You cannot tackle this alone if you please
Acknowledge His prowess over it all
That nothing for Him is ever too small

TRUST GOD

If you feel foolish and somewhat ashamed
He understands and you will not be blamed
His heart is as great as His love for you
His correction might be harsh hard to do

TRUST GOD

Believe it or not you will rise higher
On the wings of eagles quite the flyer
His judgements are fair and for your own good
Obey His commands rightly as you should

TRUST GOD

You’ll feel His Fatherly love surrounding
Your head will be relieved from the pounding
The enemy will no longer laugh out loud
You’re a Child of God and you should be proud!!!

Trump: “I have been informed by the Department of War that Defense Contractor, Raytheon, has been the least responsive to the needs of the Department of War, the slowest in increasing their volume, and the most aggressive spending on their Shareholders rather than the needs and demands of the United States Military. Raytheon seems to think this is the Biden Administration, and this is “business as usual,” IT’S NOT! Either Raytheon steps up, and starts investing in more upfront Investment like Plants and Equipment, or they will no longer be doing business with Department of War. Also, if Raytheon wants further business with the United States Government, under no circumstances will they be allowed to do any additional Stock Buybacks, where they have spent Tens of Billions of Dollars, until they are able to get their act together. Our Country comes FIRST, and they’re going to have to learn that, the hard way!”

It was common knowledge they had a method for milking US defense contracts for as much as they could get. (I used to date one of their engineers.)

911 heard MULTIPLE DEATH THREATS directed at me by a mob, MPD pretended for 20 MINUTES that they were responding

Then they told me I was on my own, and HUNG UP

This city needs to be taken under FEDERAL CONTROL

After about two minutes on scene, my security began wanting to bring me out of there due to the immediate threats of violence.

I tried to shorten this video as much as possible but it’s tough given all the BS that unfolded.

As soon as I dialed 911, one of the leftist screamed “Minneapolis Police are on OUR side!” Turns out, he was right.

– A vehicle began chasing us the wrong way down a one way and then threatened to kiII me (dispatch heard this and responded by asking for my last name?)

– First dispatcher promised they’d respond, asked me if I was “White,” held me on the phone for the 10 mins, and then ended the call

– Second one called back and gave me the runaround as the situation worsens

– Third one calls me back and tells me to go fck myself, essentially

We ended up being FOLLOWED out of town, and requested backup set to arrive in a few hours.

We are NOT giving up. Leftists WILL NOT terrorize us into silence.

See you in a few hours, Minneapolis.

In today’s roundup: a morning monologue about statues (and executive orders) surging to life; Secretary Kennedy turns the so-called food pyramid on its head and changes the game for Big Food; meat is back on the menu; Trump tackles Big Finance and housing affordability in a single swoop; President puts a chokehold on the Military-Industrial Complex and offers a massive carrot; golden age vibes and Happy Daze; Monroe Doctrine lands on South America; Trump surges Venezuelan oil leverage; Columbia’s new tone; sweeping plans for years to come; Coast Guard seizes more oil tankers and locks down the American hemisphere; America First meets James Monroe; Minneapolis ICE shooting begins to provoke George Floyd-style protests; and final thoughts on a truly historic week in the making.

“…..The left, long hoping for just such an occasion to exploit, is attempting to turn Ms. Good into the next George Floyd. I am not making this up: in an inexplicable coincidence, yesterday’s shooting occurred about a mile from where George Floyd died. A new George Floyd incident would help Democrats distract everyone from the Minnesota Fraud Scandal….”

originally she tried to sneak it in at $1.5 million…ANYONE in congress passing EARMARKS for somalis should be publicly named and humiliated!

FTA
House appropriators plan to strike Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s $1 million earmark for a Somali-led organization from the lower chamber’s funding package Wednesday, as the presence of the carveout threatened to tank the shutdown-preventing bill.
Omar’s earmark was for Generation Hope’s “Justice Empowerment Initiative” in her district and was tucked into the Commerce, Science, and Justice minibus, which will provide funding for the Commerce, Energy, Interior, and Justice departments, in addition to other related agencies. Republican Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, who chairs the Appropriations Committee, told reporters he cannot allow one member’s project to derail a carefully negotiated full-year funding bill with the Jan. 30 funding deadline fast approaching.
“I can’t afford to have a million dollar project jeopardize a $184 billion package of bills,” Cole said Wednesday. “If we have an individual project that can pose a political problem, I’ve had these in the past from our side before, where we had to tell a member, ‘Look, there might be a way to do this, but our advice to you is to withdraw this.’”
Omar initially requested $1,460,877 for the program, which provides “job-specific training, computer skills development, peer support services, and access to education” as well as services to address addiction recovery and mental health needs, according to the congresswoman’s website. The earmark is also backed by Minnesota’s two senators, Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith.
Omar did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman, who serves on the Rules Committee, also expressed reservations toward the minibus in two Rules meetings this week, telling reporters he will vote for the bill on the House floor upon seeing a written agreement to remove the earmark for “Somali million dollars.”
Democratic Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the ranking member of the Appropriations Committee who had strong support for the minibus on Monday, also emphasized earmarks must not cause problems for the overall bill.
“It is under discussion and it will be resolved. That’s the way things go with these community projects. If there’s a difficulty, if there’s a problem, we try to work it out. Or it comes out,” DeLauro told Politico on Wednesday.
Democrats rebranded earmarks — which were banned under Republican leadership for more than a decade — in 2021 as “community project funding,” which still elicits ire from hardline Republicans looking to cap how much taxpayer dollars are spent on hyperlocal projects.
Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy, who sits on both the Rules Committee and the House Freedom Caucus, highlighted “currency of corruption” earmarks in the CJS package, including $1 million for a Climate Corps Fellowship in Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley‘s district, nearly $2 million for Vermont Legal Aid’s Justice Mobile program — requested by Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders — and almost $2 million for “detention center door replacement” in Republican North Carolina Rep. Addison McDowell’s district.
Roy has called various earmarks in the CJS package “nonsense” that no one he represents “wants to see their money going towards.”
“It’s ridiculous to buy votes in the currency of corruption in this town,” Roy told reporters Wednesday.
Part of the agreement to remove Omar’s earmark also involves voting on the three titles in the package — Energy-Water, Interior-Environment, and Commerce-Justice-Science — separately, allowing dissenting Republicans to vote against the CJS measure while supporting the other two. Following the vote, the three bills would be put back together in one bundle before being handed off to the Senate.
The White House on Wednesday urged Congress to pass the package of appropriations bills, applauding the decreased spending the minibus puts forward.
“If this bill were presented to the President in its current form, his senior advisors would recommend that he sign it into law.”
On its website, Generation Hope describes itself as a “Somali-led organization” that works “closely with culturally specific treatment centers to connect East African individuals with culturally responsive treatment options.” It was founded by Abdirahman Warsame and Khadar Abi in 2019.

The TV series Westworld was quite prescient in many of its plot lines and its set decors. The attention to detail was A+. The acting [casting] is excellent.

The overall plot was Artificial Intelligence taken as far as it could go. Supporting this concept was life control via statistical prediction for all individuals in the world. IOW the ultimate propaganda mechanism.

It is quite gory in spots but there is nothing truly gratuitous about it. It’s all in support of setting the tone of the movie’s reality.

There are 36 episodes so binge-watching is likely to cause eyeball damage.  😂 

The wiki plot summary is quite good.

Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their “stupidity,” the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.

another federal judge disqualifies a Trump appointee for US Attorney and blocked subpoenas for Letitia James. This is getting more ridiculous by the day. Anyone POTUS appoints they disqualify and say it’s because it’s submitting political rivals to criminal investigation. welcome to the party pal—biden did it for 4 YEARS!

article
A federal judge on Thursday disqualified the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York and blocked the subpoenas his office issued against New York Attorney General Letitia James.
John Sarcone III, the judge ruled, was illegally serving in the post, Politico reported. The decision from the Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield marked the latest such opinion over controversial Trump appointees to U.S. Attorney positions.
“When the Executive branch of government skirts restraints put in place by Congress and then uses that power to subject political adversaries to criminal investigations… it acts without lawful authority,” Schofield wrote.
Sarcone had pursued subpoenas against James, who famously brought a civil fraud case against President Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle.
Other Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys have faced legal disqualification, including Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan.

Time to defund courtrooms and staff. For political purposes, of course.

By the way, the judge has now admitted bias and thus MUST RECUSE. There are literally thousands of appellate opinions stating that Article 3 courts do not decide political disputes. By doing so, the judge hangs herself. IMO.

https://ktla.com/news/california/disappointed-bear-evicted-from-southern-california-home/

Ive been following the story and youd think the bear wouldve hi-bear-nated but nope. Andvthe state is so incompetent and reckless they couldnt do the job. Now the guy can get his gas line fixed and cook and have a hot shower again.

A 550-pound black bear that had been living under an Altadena man’s home for more than a month has finally been removed, thanks to help from a wildlife rescue group.

“I’m relieved – no more banging under the house and smelling him and wondering what’s going on under there,” Ken Johnson, the homeowner, told KTLA’s Jillian Smukler on Thursday.

Johnson said the bear took up residence in the crawlspace beneath his home just before Thanksgiving, and repeated efforts to coax it out didn’t work.

State wildlife officials tried to remove the bear using paintball guns, air horns and other tactics – but were unsuccessful. Johnson said the effort stalled after officials received instructions from Sacramento to pull back.

The breakthrough, however, came when the BEAR League, a nonprofit based in Lake Tahoe, offered to help at no cost. The team, Johnson said, used similar methods to those employed by state agencies – paintball guns – but completed the job in about 10 minutes on Tuesday.

“I couldn’t believe it was so fast,” Johnson said. “These guys went in, they crawled in behind him and, boom, he was out.”

When the bear returned two nights later to climb back into the crawlspace, it encountered an electrified mat over the opening that gave it a small shock — so it took off. Only time will tell if it’s gone for good.

kalbokalbs

DEI hires could never evict the bear.

Yup. Mr bear was having a good time and they were incompetent and Sacramento said meh. The state of our state!

At least a better outcome than the woman somewhere up in the Sierras that IIRC mauled her to death . The bears had been terrible but of course in that area the community is 1/2 sane people and 1/2 woke weirdos that wanted no intervention.

Yeah i remember that. She had a history of feeding critters iirc too. And these werent her regulars clearly.

The mass immigration is even in Iceland. A quarter of the population is now foreign born, mostly young males.

Every country in the West needs to unite, and give third world pirates 30 days to get out, and any who are left are physically thrown out.

And the people responsible, the NGOs and the globalists and the Leftists, need to all be identified, and publicly executed (after a fast trial, naturally).

From Insurrection Barbie

Edit: Added By Wolf…..

Full Tweet

Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes. 
The key to Minnesota’s rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the “organized resistance to ICE” in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​

In south Minneapolis, volunteers spend hours driving what they openly call ICE patrols. Phones are mounted on dashboards. Every sighting of a suspicious SUV, every cluster of federal jackets, is recorded and dropped into Signal and WhatsApp groups that run silently in the background of daily life.​

Those chats are not small. A single Spanish language group described by local reporting grew from a few dozen members to hundreds as the federal crackdown began. One message that ICE is at a gas station, grocery store, or apartment complex can draw a crowd in minutes.​

Volunteers position themselves near schools, mosques, and high risk housing, phones ready. Their job is to film, warn, and, when they choose, physically interpose themselves between agents and targets.​

When roughly 2,000 federal agents arrive in a region that has spent years quietly building an anti enforcement machine, confrontation is not a question of if but when. 

The sequence looks like this:

ICE surge and visible raids trigger heightened patrols and chat activity.

A lethal incident happens. Video, rumors, and initial reports hit group chats and local media at the same time.

ICE watch networks push urgent alerts, including locations such as the Whipple Federal Building and specific hotels.

Within hours, local NGOs and national groups issue public calls to action. Protest times and locations spread across social media and encrypted channels simultaneously.

One organization appears repeatedly in any serious look at Minnesota’s anti ICE apparatus: COPAL, short for Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. COPAL is not just another advocacy group. It runs a formal immigrant defense “rapid response” program that sits at the heart of Minnesota’s ICE watch system.

By late 2025, COPAL’s immigrant defense program had trained more than 10,000 people, a staggering number in a single state. Those trainees do not just sit at home. They plug directly into the Signal chats, patrol rotations, and rapid response networks that are now colliding with ICE in Minnesota’s streets.

The Vice President of COPAL is a DACA recipient who sits on the Board of Directors as well. His name is Edwin Torres DeSantiago and he has served on the leadership teams for the campaigns of:

1. Tim Walz
2. Peggy Flanagan
3. Senator Tina Smith
4. Senator Amy Klobuchar 

He also sits on the Board of Trustees for the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, showing his integration into elite institutional circles as well as movement politics.

They have a direct earmark from leading Democrats. 
COPAL publicly credits Representative Ilhan Omar and Senator Amy Klobuchar for securing federal funds for COPAL and partner ACER to develop the Primero de Mayo Workers Center in Minnesota’s 5th District.

COPAL’s own statement thanks Omar and Klobuchar for their leadership and notes that these federal dollars will be invested in worker organizing and community power on Lake Street.

After the Insurrection Act declared in MN, within minutes, if not seconds, their network is shutdown.

  • Signal, WhatApp groups and the like, blocked.

Just got this “memo” from a friend. Seems connected :Apparently Gov. Walz has declared Friday, January 9th to be a Statewide Day of Unity, Peace, and Service. (Sorry, don’t know how to collapse it.)

Purpose of Memo:

This is a supporting memo to wide and broad community on Day of Unity, Peace and Service. Please share widely on social media, in Signal groups, and in other networks.

Memo to Minnesotans:

On April 6th, 1919, Mahatma Gandhi called for a National Day of Fasting and Prayer across India in response to the Rowlatt Act, a law that gave British authorities the right to indefinitely incarcerate without trial anyone accused of working for Indian independence. It became a day of action and work stoppage that shook the British Empire. In memory of Renee Nicole Good, Gov. Walz has declared Friday, January 9th to be a Statewide Day of Unity, Peace, and Service.

Inspired by many who have led non-violent, peaceful movements for justice in the face of repression around the world, we will take a step tomorrow to suspend our work in ways that are possible–from a moment of silence to a day of service, everything counts and no action is too small, to honor the memory of Renee Good and all Minnesotans, Americans and our neighbors who have been harmed by the actions of this Administration and Kristi Noem’s ICE. 

In Minnesota, we stick together. We pitch in. We stand up for our neighbors. Our tough times reveal who we are. And it’s time to be at our Minnesota best.

On Friday, please honor Ms. Good’s memory by acting together, peacefully, and in service to each other.

Here are some good options:

1) Participate in a moment of silence at 10am CT on Friday, January 9th. 

2) Attend the Day of Unity, Peace, & Service Vigil on Friday, January 9th at 4pm at the Minnesota State Capitol, 75 Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155.

3) Patronize immigrant-owned businesses across the state. 

4) Join an ICE rapid response training: Like Ms. Good, you have a right to attend, observe, record, and speak freely at ICE’s enforcement actions. Join a training to learn how to safely exercise both your rights and responsibilities.

5) Check in on your neighbors: Join your local volunteer Signal chat where requests for mutual support are shared. 

6) Invite your neighbors over for coffee: Bring some coffee (or another hot beverage), buy some local baked goods, and invite folks to join you over the weekend. We do better when we’re together.

7) Call your Member of Congress: Advocate for the same three things: 1) ICE should immediately leave Minnesota, 2) Ms. Good’s murderer should be prosecuted, 3) Congress should hold ICE to account, conducting oversight and demanding answers for its recklessness and violence.

8) Sign this petition demanding ICE stay out of Minnesota schools.

9) Go to your neighborhood school 15 minutes before school arrival and dismissal with a whistle. Stand across the street from the building and watch for ICE. If you see them, blow the whistle.

10) Download and print out signs stating that ICE is not welcome and what rights businesses have under the 4th amendment. Go to local businesses that you patronize and ask them to put them up in the window. 

Let’s remember Ms. Good. Let’s protect our neighbors. Let’s be the North Star our nation needs.

April 28, 2025. President Trump signs Executive Order 14287 in the Oval Office. The title reads like standard bureaucracy: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.”

But in the third paragraph, a single phrase changes everything:

Sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.”

Insurrection. The exact statutory term from 10 U.S.C. §§ 332-333. The language that unlocks the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Georgetown Law professor Martin Lederman publishes analysis within days. The executive order mirrors Section 334 requirements. The formal proclamation to disperse before military deployment. It designates unlawful actors, issues formal warning, establishes consequences.

Governors dismiss it as political theater. Constitutional attorneys recognize something else.

The proclamation was already issued. Trump just didn’t announce it as such.

….

Looks like the DemonRats want to trip the wire.

I saw the same. “On social media, she described herself as a poet, writer, wife, and mother from Colorado who was “experiencing Minneapolis.”

The other comment said she was driving a vehicle with Minn plates.

I saw an analysis on X that stated her plates were from Missouri. All of this is so weird.

The US is now withdrawing from the GCF, the entire plan of the [WEF]/[CB] is imploding. Housing is going to boom, Trump has all the pieces in place. The Supreme Court is supposed to make a decision on tariffs, if they rule against Trump he has another card up his sleeve.US trade deficit dropped by 40%. Trump just gave the [WEF] the middle finger and shut down their entire agenda. The [DS] is doing exactly what Trump wants, they are building the insurrection right in front of the country’s eyes. Trump has now set the trap of all traps, never interfering with an enemy while in the process of destroying themselves. Trump has the military, he has the law on his side, everything has been planned for, playbook known.

At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.

Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.

This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming.

This lawless behavior can not stand, or we just don’t have a country. States and/or cities can not just demand that ICE and Border Patrol stay out of their area, or we don’t have a country.

Donald Trump’s legacy is NOT going to be the dissolution of America because of illegal aliens. And the military may be the only way to protect the people who are rounding up and deporting them.

_____________

It seems what is happening is that the Left is running a nationwide cartel, a pure no-doubt-about-it criminal mafia, where they embezzle trillions of dollars nationwide.

They use a portion of those funds to radicalize their base.

Then they use completely predictable suicide actions of their base, in conjunction with narrative control thru MSM, to divert attention from their own criminal activity and cast law enforcement as the bad guys, fueling the fire of their base to do more murder-suicide attacks.

The Left is effectively a domestic terrorist paramilitary organization, openly at war with law enforcement, because they have nothing to lose.

The scale and scope of their criminality is so vast, that when the American People actually begin to grasp it, the people involved literally ‘won’t be able to walk the streets‘.

So they are paying protestors, mobilizing and radicalizing their base, and trying to go out with a bang instead of a whimper.

They’re trying to burn it all down, and get away in the chaos, because that’s the only way they escape the death penalty for themselves.

scott467

“And the military may be the only way to protect the people who are rounding up and deporting them.”

_____________

What are they paying alien invaders to self-deport now? Didn’t they double it from $1,000 to $2,000?

Just checked, they tripled it, they’re paying $3,000 to self-deport.

If that isn’t enough, don’t pay more.

Just change the payee.

Pay Americans $3,000 for each body dropped off at City Hall or the local PD, whichever is closest.

Plenty of historical precedent supported by LOTS of law.

WANTED: Dead or Alive

Watch how fast the alien invader problem disappears, no military or ICE required.

“The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over.”

_____________

The problem with this strategy is that shooting the driver doesn’t stop the car from running anyone over. Cars don’t magically stop the instant the driver is dead.

The car will keep going, there just won’t be anyone alive to steer it. So if you are a cop in front of a car, and you shoot the driver, you’re still likely to get run over, maybe even more so.

And if the cop gets out of the way of the car, then the cop is no longer in danger, and has no reason to kill the driver.

So either way, it seems the rational, logical thing to do is to get out of the way of the car, because if you are in front of it, you’re probably getting run over whether the driver is alive or dead.

After you are safely out of the way of the car, then chase that car down… or just wait for them in the car owner’s driveway, they have the plate number, no need to endanger the public with a high speed chase.

Apprehend the driver, and send him to prison.

I’m just not sure it makes sense to shoot the driver IF you are in front of the car.

And if you are NOT in front of the car, then you are not in danger of being run over, so there is no reason to shoot the driver.

Look, I wanna shoot people just as much as the next guy… who doesn’t? 😁

I’m just not sure the logic supports it in this scenario.

Well then at least get out of the way first, and then shoot.

Because if you shoot first, you’re probably getting run over anyway.

Shoot as you jump out of the way.

OK. Just started reading C&C. Stick with this one, please.

Jeff is addressing the food pyramid flipped upside down. Media and press, indifferent. Why indifferent, because everybody KNOWS the food pyramid of yesterday, was BULLSHIT.

Here’s Jeff’s words.

  • If Secretary Kennedy flipping over the food pyramid draws a collective meh, it can only be because no one believed in the old model anymore. You don’t mourn the collapse of a doctrine you already stopped following. The public reaction wasn’t acceptance— it was indifference.

I see Covid Jabs being pulled completely. Two steps. 1 Not recommended. 2 Banned.

  • Media will initially melt down.
  • Public Will Be Indifferent.
  • Public already knows the Jabs are NOT safe AND are NOT effective.

I just read this thing on X, and I have to share. It is very, very good. And it makes a really good point not only about this woman who just got killed in Minnesota and her kind, but about AI and its inherent deficits.

This is just fascinating to me:

Full text (it’s long, and much easier to read on X, which has the paragraph breaks):

The full text of the tweet

“A vast number of humans, probably a majority, aren’t people. They are large language models. I’m not saying this as a generality, as a clever or funny way of saying, “they are stupid”. No. I mean something very concrete and specific, and there are a lot of people who appear very intelligent, maybe even win awards for writing good poetry or something, who are nevertheless not people, not fully sapient, just a large language model walking around in a human body. First, you have to understand what a large language model is. It’s a computer (organic or inorganic), which has been trained on a data set consisting solely of language (written or spoken), and rewarded for producing language that sounds like the data set, and is relevant to a prompt. That’s all there is in there. This is why ChatGPT and Grok lie to you constantly. It’s not because they are somehow just indifferent to the truth — they actually do not understand the concept of “truth” at all. For something to be a “lie”, or an “inaccuracy”, there has to be a mismatch between the meaning of words, and the state of reality. And there’s the critical difference. You see, in order to identify a mismatch between the state of reality, and the meaning of a sentence, you have to have a model of reality. Not just one model, of language. This is why Grok and ChatGPT hallucinate and tell you lies. Because, for them, everything is language, and there is no reality. So when I say someone is a large language model, I do not mean he is “stupid”. He might be very facile at processing language. He might, in fact, be eloquent enough to give great speeches, get elected president, win the Nobel Peace Prize, and so on. What I mean is that humans who are large language models do not have a robust world-object model to counterweight their language model. They are able to manipulate symbols, sometimes adroitly, but they are on far shakier ground when trying imagine the objects those symbols represent. Which brings us to this woman. Most conservatives understand her behavior in terms of concepts like “suicidal empathy”, or “brainwashing”, or an “information bubble”, interpreted as reasons why she is delusional, but the truth is far worse than that. To delusional is to have an object model of the world that is deeply and profoundly wrong. But to have an object model of the world that is deeply and profoundly wrong… you have to have one in the first place. To sapient humans, words are symbols, grounded in object model of reality, that we use to communicate ideas about that reality. We need those words because we don’t come equipped with a hologram projector, or telepathic powers. But for another type of human, that object model isn’t very large or robust at all. It consists only of a grass hut or two with a few sticks of furniture, and it can never be matched up with the palaces in the air which she weaves out of words. And so, to her, there is no reality. Or at least very little. Reality consists only of her and her immediate surroundings in time and space, and words referring to anything bigger or more complicated are not descriptions of reality… they are magic spells which will make other humans drop loot or give her social approval. You cannot correct her worldview with contradictory evidence, because there is no worldview to correct. You cannot confront her with the logical inconsistencies in her worldview, because her object model doesn’t actually have any, it’s not complex enough for that. The relevant parts of her world-object model can be summed up as follows: “If I say Goodthing, I get headpats and cookies from all the people like me.” That model is simply not big or complicated enough to contain notions like self-defense or vehicular assault. She has no theory of mind for a man whose job includes violence. She cannot explain or predict his behavior. It is too far away from her daily experience to fit into her reality at all. And if she can’t imagine things like these, how can she possibly imagine concrete meanings for vast and complex ideas like demographic replacement, culture shift, and western civilization? This is not about intelligence or lack of it. This is about what her brain is trained to do. Her upbringing, education, and life did not force, or even encourage, her to develop a robust world-object model. It wasn’t necessary for her to get safety, approval, or cookies. She just had to be glib. So it really didn’t matter if she had an IQ of 125, or whatever, because if she did, then she was just an IQ-125-large-language-model, and only used that brain capacity for writing clever poetry, and saying things that aligned her to her local social matrix. She couldn’t actually understand the world no matter how smart she was, because her brain was trained up wrong. I don’t know if this is correctable, or if there was some critical developmental phase that was missed, but it doesn’t matter, because once the LLM-humans are adults, they won’t sit still for corrective therapy, percussive or not. What’s important is that they can’t be taught things. They can be programmed to repeat stuff, and if you win a culture war, you can even program them to say the sensible stuff. But even then, they will just be saying it for headpats and cookies. They will never truly understand the sense of what they are repeating, because they don’t understand things. They are just Large Language Models. And we have to figure out some way to take the vote away from them.”

This was an interesting comment: (Sounds a bit like Scott😂)

Hammond of Texas says:
I like the idea behind your post. Very intriguing, and it’s tempting to agree, but that’s not what’s going on. 

Your idea makes them innocent – like Grok & Chatgpt, which can’t really help it. No way; these people don’t want to hear the truth because it IS the truth, and deep down they know that. They don’t want the responsibility that comes with being honest with themselves first. Too much would be required of them, they’d have to acknowledge years of a life wasted. 

They’ve dug the hole too deep, to crawl out now would require a humility that to them is worse than death. So they cognitive-dissonate (yes I used it as a verb.)  

I have a sister not unlike this woman. We don’t speak, but had to recently because we lost our mom. I could see I was getting through to her, when I was patient enough to carefully build the logic in steps. But when her mind (built by God for critical thinking) would begin to agree and she would start to doubt the religion she had built her life on, she would pull back before she had to admit her delusion. It’s willful and it’s evil. 

She is not the source of the evil, but she’s under the spell it, and she’s complicit and evil too because she loves it (and herself) more than truth. Lies are easier, there is no real responsibility in them. Truth is hard and comes with real duty.

No, these people know exactly what they’re doing – and the last thing they want is for you to show them their entire point and purpose is a facade and not based in reality. They will kill you to stop you from revealing their shared delusion. 

If they were just LLMs they would not hate you with a perfect hatred – and believe me they hate you, because you know and speak the truth, and because they know, that you know they’re full of shit, and they know it too

Aubergine

That is an interested comment.

But I’m not entirely sure about the hatred. I think that’s just programmed in, too, with a lot of these people. It’s performative; if they say the hate words just right, they get the cookie from the other haters. It validates them. They can’t violate the “mantra” of their lives; when the commenter started to violate it, and the words the sister could/would speak would also violate it, she shut down. They can’t circumvent the programming.

Gail Combs

It is a cult and has to be treated as deprograming a cult member.

The problem is it is a very large cult and that cult has been allowed to bludgeon sane people into silence for decades.

This why I bring up this article often.

The Philosophy Of Karl Marx

..As a student, Marx accepted the philoso­phy of Hegel as the only sound and adequate explanation of the uni­verse. According to this philosophy, “the only immutable thing is the abstraction of movement.” The one universal phenomenon is change, and the only universal form of this phenomenon is its complete abstrac­tion. Thus, Hegel accepted as real only that which existed in the mind. Objective phenomena and events were of no consequence; only the con­ceptions of them possessed by human minds were real. Ideas, not ob­jects, were the stuff of which the universe was made. The universe and all events therein existed and took place only in the mind, and any change was a change in ideas. Therefore, to account for these changes in ideas was to account for change in the universe…

Gail Combs

They are literally taught reality does not matter ONLY EMOTIONS MATTER.

The Democrat Left are the Symbionese Liberation Army.

……………………………
Brave (not A.I., just search result): “The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) was a small, American militant far-left organization active from 1973 to 1975, widely regarded by law enforcement as the first terrorist group to emerge from the American left. 

Founded by escaped convict Donald DeFreeze, who adopted the alias “General Field Marshal Cinque,” the group was based in California and claimed to be a vanguard movement advocating for political symbiosis among feminist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and other left-wing struggles. 

The SLA gained notoriety for its violent actions, including the assassination of Oakland school superintendent Marcus Foster in November 1973, the kidnapping of newspaper heiress Patty Hearst in February 1974, and a series of armed bank robberies. 

The group’s activities culminated in a deadly shootout with police in Los Angeles on May 17, 1974, during which several members died, and the remaining fugitives were apprehended by 1975.

JD Shreds then Torches WH Presstitutes.

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance absolutely torches the media to their faces over reporting on the Minneapolis “attack.”

Vance started the rant by reading a CNN headline.

“What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg.”

“What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.”

“What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.”

“If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the President of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.”

All Jeep and Chrysler Plug-In Hybrid Models Are Officially Dead: Exclusive
This does not impact future range-extended electric models, the company told us.

Just a few years ago, Jeep touted the Wrangler 4xe as the best-selling plug-in hybrid in America, and the herald of a new electrification strategy. Today it’s dead, along with every other plug-in model Stellantis sells in the United States.

You read that correctly: Jeep and Chrysler have officially discontinued production of their respective plug-in hybrid models. As of the end of the 2025 model year, the Jeep Wrangler 4xeJeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV have all officially been discontinued—not paused or back-burnered. Just donezo.
