The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.

It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.

This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

Somehow, I’m thinking R-Cons will be shamed into passing the SAVE Act.

If the Senate does not pass the SAVE Act and/or schedule a date for a vote by the time we return, I have enough votes from other members to shut down the floor of the House.

We are not going to play games—especially given that half of the Republicans in both the House and Senate are concerned about their reelection and want the floor open for their messaging bills.

They are not allowed to hide behind the president and his agenda while knifing the American people in the back. They need legislation for their elections, so they MUST pass the SAVE Act. Election integrity is the most important issue in this country for the future of our nation.

Trump administration weighs naval blockade to halt Cuban oil imports

“Energy is the chokehold to kill” the Cuban regime, said a person familiar with the discussions.

The Trump administration is weighing new tactics to drive regime change in Cuba, including imposing a total blockade on oil imports to the Caribbean country, three people familiar with the plan said Thursday.

That escalation has been sought by some critics of the Cuban government in the administration and backed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two of the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive discussions. No decision has been made on whether to approve that move, but it could be among the suite of possible actions presented to President Donald Trump to force the end of Cuba’s communist government, these people added.

Preventing shipments of crude oil to the island would be a step-up from Trump’s statement last week that the U.S. would halt Cuba’s imports of oil from Venezuela, which had been its main crude supplier.

Davos Distraction? Ed Dowd Says Denmark’s Treasury Threat Masks Bigger Collapse

At the World Economic Forum, some European officials are calling for Denmark to ditch US treasuries “out of spite” over the Greenland controversy.

“This is just noise… It’ll be absorbed quickly. Treasuries will be one of the best-performing assets by the end of 2026.” –

@DowdEdward

He warns the real story isn’t Denmark – it’s a collapsing debt system, demographic decline, and a new global order already underway.

“This is the new chessboard. @POTUS knows it. The real power struggle is just beginning.”

My friend just got the info a few hours ago that her teenage granddaughter ODed. She is alive but not in good shape.
She asks that we pray for a full recovery.
The girl’s name is Lily.

The hospital originally refused to treat the child who had been sleeping over at a friend’s grandma’s. The lady had to take lily back to the parents who then had to take the child back to the hospital.

TheseTruths

Prayers for Lily. 🙏 And someone needs to look into the refusal to treat. She, or someone in her condition, might have died as a result.

Perhaps someone might ask Nebraska Filly over at Marica’s if she knows anything about this.

Good news. Lily is now awake and knows her parents. However she does not remember what happened.

mollypitcher5

That’s really great news Gail.

pgroup2

That failure to remember might be a good thing.

Wolf Moon

The amnesia sounds like classic benzodiazepine pharmacology.

pgroup2

Never heard of that. Care to expound a bit?

Wolf Moon

In the drug class of benzodiazepines (includes valium, xanax, midazolam), many of them have amnestic actions, some higher than others.

Here is DuckAI…..

Benzodiazepines are known for their amnestic effects, particularly in high doses, with drugs like midazolam and flunitrazepam being noted for their strong amnestic properties. These medications can cause significant memory gaps, especially when misused or taken in combination with other depressants.

This is why benzodiazepines are used for some surgical procedures – so that people don’t remember any pain or discomfort. They are also used for MKULTRA, precisely so that subjects can’t consciously remember their programming sessions.

Because these drugs are relatively easy to get for teens, I’m thinking these might have been abused by the young lady, and an OD led to short-term amnesia of the overdose.

None of these fine people are sick, slimy, greasy, and repulsive like Random Nuisance. They don’t deserve to be tarred with the same brush as the Governor.

patfrederick

because that’s not their WHOLE identity…gees I wouldn’t run around saying I’m heterosexual. it’s just a part of my identity. to some gay people, that’s ALL they are.

Aubergine

If you want my take on it (well, lol, I’m going to tell you anyway), I think there are two kinds of gay people.

There are gay people like Bessent, Grenell, and Presler, who are actually just gay, attracted to the same gender for sex, like you are attracted to the opposite sex for that activity. I would bet you, if you sat down and talked to them about it, they would agree that homosexuality, while not evil or something to punish, is not “optimal” for humans.

Then there are the “gays by choice,” but not really by choice. They are the screwed-up-by life gays, who got that way through early sexual abuse or some other trauma. They are the “performative” ones, who desperately need everyone to accept that gayness is “great,” so they can feel ok about their brokenness. Because deep down, they know their trauma is responsible, and they (wrongly) blame themselves for that trauma having happened.

I would say almost of the “gays” in our current society are the second kind. There are very few of the first kind around, and there never have been. They are an anomaly.

There are “homosexual” anomalies in the animal kingdom, too. Gay rams are found by ranchers, who slaughter them because they won’t mate. It’s just another brokenness brought into the world by sin since the Fall, like death, disease, etc.

People used to understand this, that human gays were not “evil,” just anomalous and broken. And since humans can reason, those gay people were expected to curb their gay behavior as sinful, or outside of societal norms, just like we expect alcoholics not to be drunk, dangerous and disruptive. But not anymore. Now, being gay is supposed to be celebrated.

Brave and Free

Our community has three gay married couples. Your comment is pretty accurate. One of the couples is pretty normal, like everyone else except their lifestyle. The other two are in your face about their lifestyles, and has no tolerance if you don’t agree with them.

Wolf Moon

I now realize how fortunate we are, in a similar situation. Three normie couples, zero activists. I suspect there are some Trump voters in there, too! 😂

Wolf Moon

Well said!

And what is interesting to me is that the MEDIA and various powerful interests find it useful to provide rewards to the second, performative group.

pgroup2

Your insight is amazing. I would add that when sex of any sort became politicized, it became a problem. Even more of a problem when it was aberrant sex. BTW, I consider homosexuality to be a fetish, in a lot of cases.

I would put fetishes in the second category, as caused by some sort of abuse or trauma.

pgroup2

OK

cthulhu

Samuel R. Delaney had a book, “Triton”, which put me off of reading Samuel R. Delaney.

In Triton, however, in the midst of too much homosexuality, one homosexual character counsels another to beware of “political gays” — who are gay not for affection, but for self-publicity.

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

Aubergine

Yes, I agree.

TradeBait2

Well stated. 👍

pgroup2

Not sure what I wrote that I upset you. Suppose that you don’t know how the young’uns use ‘ghey’. [you should get out more]

The reference to kneepans and Kackula was an indirect one about a certain sex act. FYI that act is not limited to queers, loud or quiet [see Billy Jeff Clintoon for further info]. I’ll try not to step on your sensibilities in the future. Sorry for causing grief.

Texas AG Starts Investigation Into Vaccine-Related Financial Incentives

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 21 said he’s investigating incentives related to vaccinating children.

Paxton’s office said in a statement that the probe will cover pediatricians, insurers, vaccine companies, and other entities “engaged in deceptive or unlawful conduct by failing to disclose financial incentives connected to their administration of childhood vaccines.”

It noted that some pediatricians kick out families that refuse to adhere to a vaccine schedule and that doctors can receive bonuses for vaccinating.

An Epoch Times investigation found that insurers have offered bonuses as high as $400 per child as an incentive to vaccinate patients.

Paxton is issuing civil investigative demands for information to companies, including UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer.

“I will ensure that Big Pharma and Big Insurance don’t bribe medical providers to pressure parents to jab their kids with vaccines they feel aren’t safe or necessary,” Paxton said in a statement.

He said that Texans “deserve to have full faith in the recommendations of their medical providers—particularly when it involves the health of their children” and that “any provider or entity whose medical guidance is fueled by financial incentives from an insurance company, Big Pharma, or otherwise will be exposed.”

Paxton’s office did not respond to a request for more information.

UnitedHealthcare had said in a document, which was taken down after The Epoch Times’ story was published, that doctors were eligible for bonuses for patients who received vaccines against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and human papillomavirus.

The Epoch Times reached out to UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer for comment, but they did not respond by publication time.

..Studies have found that vaccinations can be profitable, including a 2020 paperSome doctors have said in surveys that they can lose money on vaccines due to certain factors, such as low reimbursements.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, which partners with vaccine manufacturers, has said that pediatricians do not profit from vaccines and are motivated to vaccinate because, the group says, vaccines are safe and effective…

They keep using those words. I don’t think they mean what they think represent them to mean.

Wolf Moon

This is coming at the same time as the lawsuit. EXCELLENT.

pgroup2

OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!

  :wpds_shock:

Doctors should NOT be allowed to receive “bonuses” of ANY kind from a drug manufacturer, or anyone else for that matter, for how they treat patients.

My primary “doc” is a ARNP. I chose him because he wasn’t a doc. He is wonderful.

One of our little inside jokes is he asks me if I’ve quit smoking yet and I tell him I’m working on it.

Once I asked him if he didn’t think I’d brag about quitting rather than waiting for him to ask. He responded that he must ‘counsel’ every patient that smokes about the health benefits of quitting.

It’s part of his professional license. IOW if he doesn’t do it X times per year, he can be punished.

How disgusting. The politics of medicine.

Back to buttons? Car touchscreens more dangerous than texting behind the wheel, experts warn – amid calls for a return to traditional dashboards
From the first time I used a touchscreen in a car, I thought it took more of my attention to use than other options like buttons, and that it was more distracting. Fairly often the “touch” doesn’t take and has to be repeated, or I accidentally touch the wrong thing, requiring eyes to be taken off the road to correct it. Buttons and dials are so much simpler because they can be used without looking at them, or with just a quick glance to locate them.

…Essentially, a driver might take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, their mind off the task of driving, or some combination of the three.

Dr Haghani says that touchscreen interfaces are particularly dangerous because they have ‘all three elements of a distracting stimulus together’.

You have to look at the screen to read the menu, use your hands to tap the right options, and think about how to navigate to the right menu.

This is the same reason that texting is considered such a dangerous distraction for drivers.

Importantly, touch screen interfaces also require ‘glance durations’ – the amount of time looking away from the road – that are ‘often well beyond the safe and acceptable levels’.

In a 2020 study conducted by TRL, an independent transport company, drivers were put through simulated motorways while performing common in-car tasks.

One group did this using a touchscreen system, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the others used an audio-controlled option.

The researchers found that the drivers using touch screens had markedly increased reaction times compared to the baseline or audio-control group.

At motorway speeds, these differences would have meant the drivers travelled several extra car lengths before stopping.

Lane keeping and overall driving performance also declined as the drivers used their touchscreens.

In some cases, these differences were just as significant, if not larger, than the impacts of texting while driving.

Manual buttons, on the other hand, are significantly less distracting because they are much simpler to operate.

Dr Haghani says: ‘They only demand the manual distraction element, they take your hand off the wheel, but they let you keep an eye on the road, and they don’t require a long and sustained glance duration.

‘Drivers can quickly learn the muscle memory that is required to interact with those buttons and knobs and then they can manipulate them and execute the tasks by relying solely on that muscle memory and haptic feedback.

‘Screens deprive the driver of that useful muscle memory use.’

In Australia and New Zealand, the car safety assessment program ANCAP Safety has announced that it will ask manufacturers to ‘bring back buttons’ from 2026…

Wolf Moon

Excellent. These modern touchscreens are horrible. People are buying USED now to avoid them.

Cuppa Covfefe

Exactly… VW, for instance, has had a similar dashboard layout for probably 30 years or so; we had a 1994 Golf III and a 1995 Passat VR6 Wagon that had almost identical knobs and buttons to our 2008 Touran and 2010 Golf Plus (yep, we’ve got really modern cars 😀 )… BUT, I can reach down and turn on the heater, wipers, lights, turn signal, radio, etc. without having to take my eyes off the road.

Another problem is that touchscreens are VERY expensive to repair or replace, and, despite what they say, nowhere near as reliable, especially in unfriendly environments (closed car on a hot day, or sub-freezing temperatures which are even worse).

All of this gobbledeygook that TPTB are mandating for cars is just a way of getting us to quit driving, and/or implementing total control over us. And the EU can’t stop adding new regulations…. 😡 😡 😡 😡

“Buttons and dials are so much simpler because they can be used without looking at them, or with just a quick glance to locate them.”

Automakers are saying they can now build cars people want to drive with the emissions/fleet mileage mess neutered. This sounds like a good function to do just that.

They drove up the cost of repairs with all of the electronics. That helps them with more profits and hurts the buyers with higher repair costs. They need to decide what side they are on because the winners will be the ones who choose We the People first.

Gail Combs

I keep my old trucks because they are simpler to operate. They have gauges & buttons. They do not have computers AND the yearly cost of repair is generally cheaper than the yearly car loan cost.

Wolf Moon

Yup. Same here. Old trucks that run reliably are money in the bank.

Sir ES

“They do not have computers”

Exactly.

First, is the mechanical system; next, is the electric system – as an improvement – for better and easier performance; and last (so far) is the electronics, the digital.

One doesn’t *replace* the back-up system! It’s for when electrics fail, and for electronics fail. Electronic systems are best, but can be digitally attacked; electric systems are next, yet can be compromised as well; only the mechanical systems can function as the ultimate back-up, physical power.

One mustn’t rely on only *one* system, and best is to use all three.

It’s called “redundancy,” and the cars of today don’t follow the military protocol, to have ALL THREE systems working.

I like the mechanical preference, so as not to have electric windows & door-locks be the ONLY way one retains pilot control.

Just like physical CASH, versus digital pay-methods, which can be denied / glitched by hack-computers.

TheseTruths

They need to decide what side they are on because the winners will be the ones who choose We the People first.

They were going all out with electric vehicles because Biden & co. were mandating them, but now they are discovering that the majority of people don’t want them.

What I object to about “mama bear” is when women appear to be using it to draw attention to themselves. This was the impression I got from MTG. She had to let people know that she was the tough one, the one to look to, the one who was brave, the leader, etc. It gets really old.

The true mama bear instinct doesn’t brag about itself and it doesn’t draw attention to itself. It just IS.

Men have their versions of protecting and nurturing, but I don’t see them crowing about it. 😅 They just do what needs to be done.

scott467

You often misunderstand the good in women.”

___________

It’s not that I misunderstand, I love good in women. I just don’t buy into the narrative that women are only sugar and spice and everything nice — because they are human beings, like everyone else.

So when I see a woman try to wrap herself in a narrative of pureness of heart and motive, especially to excuse the unhinged behavior of liberal white women, I recognize it for the psy-op that it is, one of many myths which women, collectively, promote (and believe) about women.

And I have seen, from many interviews with women, that most young women believe their own myths.

Jedediah Bila doesn’t. Hannah Pearl Davis doesn’t. Leonarda Jonie doesn’t.

They and lots of other women speak the truth fairly plainly, and I appreciate them for that.

Also, I am generally not referring to women here, or even women of the generations of most women here, I am usually referring to Leftist wymyn, or the popular term recently seeming to be ‘liberal white women’.

But it becomes redundant to end every such comment with “I don’t mean the women here, or conservative women generally“, or words to that effect.

Aubergine

The lady in the video seems to me to be a good person. She is interpreting the actions of these women based on her own ideas, experiences, and feelings. She isn’t wrong in my opinion. Her idea is incomplete, however. I think it explains the actions of some leftist women.

Valerie Curren

He’s mentioned his narcisscistic mom a number of times who was/is very abusive, iirc.  😵 

TheseTruths

What she says makes sense. The basic, God-given instincts of women are good, just as the basic, God-given instincts of men are. When someone of either sex uses those instincts in a negative way, that’s when trouble starts. It’s a perversion. And liberal white women are doing exactly that.

Liberal men also do it. The instinct to nurture and protect gets transferred to illegals, criminals, and the like, instead of protecting women and children of their own country. They don’t want women protected from men in sports, nor from those who would molest and even kill them. But liberal women are more vocal and obnoxious about it, and thus more noticeable.

I’m not saying that the motives of these woman and men are pure. I know that many of them, especially the men, want illegals here so they can cheat in elections and take power. And many of the women want control, as well as to feel virtuous. The nefarious motives overtake any innate inclinations for good. But I appreciate that The Redheaded libertarian highlighted how things are supposed to be. It might provide food for thought for some.

That’s not the point that was being made.

scott467

It sounded to me like she was blaming it on some variation of Munchausen’s by proxy, for lack of a better way to say it.

Like they’re really ‘good people’, acting on their innate instincts to protect (I don’t buy any of that regarding libs), they just somehow got it twisted.

I don’t believe for a second that any of these Leftists are doing any of it out of ‘love’ or ‘compassion’ or ‘maternal love’, while they are filled with rage and hate and violence.

The soy-boys can’t claim the ‘maternal instinct’ excuse, and they’re all-in with the unhinged expletive-spewing white liberal wymyn.

Wow. That’s notr what I took from it at all, and I don’t think it’s what she meant.

Perfect opportunity for a water cannon or two…

Then again, only liberals would do something like that…..

It would be interesting to see what would happen with using a water cannon in sub-freezing temps. I don’t think it would be fun. 🥶

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. The hose(s) wouldn’t freeze because of the flowing water, and the “protestors” would likely be getting their first bath in months, if not years, but the ice they’d be facing would be much more harmful than the ICE that they’re “protesting”…

we’re looking at 8-12 inches of snow. snow we can deal with. hubby can plow. it’s the power lines–if it ices up? trees will come down with the lines. we’re in woods here and into NY –it’s all woods. (NY is where we get our power from.) we have the wood stove, and a small generator if it’s out too long. the real issue was water. we have a well–need the power to run the well. I have been storing water to flush toilets for a few years because this situation isn’t new. but if i disappear , you’ll know why.

Aubergine

If you have that much snow, you can melt in by the woodstove to flush toilets. And if you have to, boil it to drink. It’s a lot of work living like they did way back in the day, isn’t it? The power goes out, and all I can think of is my great-great- grandma in a log cabin with an outhouse.

boil it how?
we have a teapot on the wood stove to put moisture in the air but it never boils.

pgroup2

Leave the door to the stove open. then keep shoving wood in there until it’s an inferno. IIRC it will eventually boil.

It wastes wood however.

patfrederick

we have wood floors—some wood throws sparks–so leaving the door open is not going to happen.

Aubergine

Goodness, no camp stove or anything? That’s gonna be scary if the power is out for long. Do you have a gas barbecue grill? You could boil water on that.

Thanks for asking! Tiny snow here (Foley, MO just northwest of St Louis) most of the day (now barely covers the ground and gravel road). We are supposed to get a lot more tonight. Storm ends here around 6pm tomorrow. Early this morning, the temp here was zero. It got up to 5 degrees today. Just talking about it is making my hands shiver, though it is nice and warm inside (72 degrees) with electric, well water, and propane all working fine. There have not been consistent winds, and that is such a blessing.

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 Saturday, January 24, 2026

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:17 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR MATTHEW 3

John the Baptist, His preaching, manner of life, and baptism. (1-6) John reproves the Pharisees and Sadducees. (7-12) The baptism of Jesus. (13-17)

13-17 Christ’s gracious condescensions are so surprising, that even the strongest believers at first can hardly believe them; so deep and mysterious, that even those who know his mind well, are apt to start objections against the will of Christ. And those who have much of the Spirit of God while here, see that they need to apply to Christ for more. Christ does not deny that John had need to be baptized of him, yet declares he will now be baptized of John. Christ is now in a state of humiliation. Our Lord Jesus looked upon it as well becoming him to fulfil all righteousness, to own every Divine institution, and to show his readiness to comply with all God’s righteous precepts. In and through Christ, the heavens are opened to the children of men. This descent of the Spirit upon Christ, showed that he was endued with his sacred influences without measure. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. At Christ’s baptism there was a manifestation of the three Persons in the sacred Trinity. The Father confirming the Son to be Mediator; the Son solemnly entering upon the work; the Holy Spirit descending on him, to be through his mediation communicated to his people. In Him our spiritual sacrifices are acceptable, for He is the altar that sanctifies every gift, #1Pe 2:5|. Out of Christ, God is a consuming fire, but in Christ, a reconciled Father. This is the sum of the gospel, which we must by faith cheerfully embrace.

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.

When we face challenges out of the blue
Our first instinct might be what went askew
We wonder what it was that caused the rift
Not recognizing what hit was a gift

Or we can speak life and blessing to be

We are all prone to the seven deadly
We can speak out a tirade in medley
We can side with that demonic attack
Give negative thoughts credence right back

The effect of the weight we have laid down
Will surely defeat us cause us to drown
In a sea of self-pity barely function
Until we reach a decision junction

The difference between blessing and curse
Is the curse tends to make our plight much worse
It augments into a vicious cycle
We are less fruitful not at all vital

Speak life and blessing for each consequence
A positive outlook just makes more sense
It energizes God-given gifts in you
The Spirit inside comes alive when you do

These claims about needing cheap labor from illegals means nothing to me without naming the companies. The number of employees needed in no way can match the massive influx in Maine or anywhere else.

They brought in millions upon millions. They’ve built millions of apartments to house the alleged work force. It is backward. Instead of recruiting for existing business they create new consumers to justify them bringing them here. The vast majority don’t work. They’re being cared for by the fraudulent aid programs.

All smoke and mirrors.

how about we halt MAINE’S future funding, because of all the illegals allowed in Maine–somalis and chinese are overrunning Maine.

Sir ES

I hope that the governors, AGs, and mayors of the capitols & major cities of “sanctuary” mis-ideology – in what, 22 States? – get their come-uppance.

Whether they must resign, for bankrupting their jurisdictions, or be indicted and prosecuted for RICO crimes and blatant discrimination, fraud, and theft. And LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH!

The damage they’ve done to their constituents i.e., REAL AMERICANS (We The People) is incalculable! They wasted our time, they wasted our efforts, and they wasted our MONEY.

But most of all, they attacked our ethics and patriotic SPIRIT.

I don’t like “vengeance,” because that is for God to judge. Instead, I want a RECKONING.

To settle accounts, and to balance the American ledger, both figuratively AND literally ($).

We have held the line, we have avoided actions which would have resulted in dire consequences, and we have borne our frustration with dignity.

The rewards of patriotism and perseverance are just around the corner.

It’s such a psychological boon to believe that our future, at long last, is becoming brighter, and our hope is rising daily.

We’re now beginning to “ENJOY THE SHOW!”

May God bless us all.

“All U.S. funding for, and staffing of, WHO initiatives has ceased.”

TheseTruths

Here is the text. Things are happening that I would never have dreamed possible.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have released a joint statement explaining why America has withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

“Today, the United States withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO), freeing itself from its constraints, as President Trump promised on his first day in office.”

“This action responds to the WHO’s failures during the COVID-19 pandemic and seeks to rectify the harm from those failures inflicted on the American people. Promises made, promises kept.”

“Like many international organizations, the WHO abandoned its core mission and acted repeatedly against the interests of the United States.”

“Although the United States was a founding member and the WHO’s largest financial contributor, the organization pursued a politicized, bureaucratic agenda driven by nations hostile to American interests.”

“In doing so, the WHO obstructed the timely and accurate sharing of critical information that could have saved American lives and then concealed those failures under the pretext of acting ‘in the interest of public health.’”

“Even on our way out of the organization, the WHO tarnished and trashed everything that America has done for it.”

“Going forward, U.S. engagement with the WHO will be limited strictly to effectuate our withdrawal and to safeguard the health and safety of the American people.”

“All U.S. funding for, and staffing of, WHO initiatives has ceased.”

WOW https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg Swing State Wisconsin voter rolls show they have 7.14 million people registered to vote but only 4 million adults that live in the state

Again, Wisconsin HAS ALMOST TWICE as many registered voters vs adults who live there

“We only have 4 million adults in the state of Wisconsin. We’re approaching, in the 7.13 million number on the voter rolls, that grows almost daily. It never ends. It never rarely goes down — It’s the highest that I’ve ever seen. It’s even worse than this because there’s the 4.4 million adults in Wisconsin, not all of them registered, not all of them vote. We’re really down around about 3.6 million, 3.7 million.”

So what he’s saying is only about 3.7 million people are registered voters but they have 7.13 million registered voters

new brief filed in birthright citizenship case focuses on the HISTORICAL view
FTA
Legal briefs are flying back and forth, and Team Trump just challenged the entire narrative head-on with a bombshell nobody saw coming, not even the legal nerds.
In a newly filed brief at the Supreme Court, the Trump admin. isn’t arguing politics or modern talking points, like so many experts thought they would. No, they’re doing something much more powerful. They’re arguing history. And once you see what they put on the record, it’ll be clear to you why this entire “birthright” debate has been shut down for so long.
What Team Trump put in front of the Supreme Court of the United States was a very long paper trail showing how birthright citizenship has been understood for decades after the 14th Amendment was ratified.
And the catch is big. Because that understanding looks nothing like the version we’re living with today.
The 14th Amendment doesn’t say that anyone born on US soil is automatically a citizen. It says citizenship applies to those born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
That second part is the key…
Being “subject to the jurisdiction” didn’t just mean being physically here. It meant a lot more. It meant allegiance and being fully under US authority… not just temporarily hanging out on a layover while having loyalty to another country.
According to the historical record laid out in the brief, legal scholars, judges, and commentators from the late 1800s into the early 1900s said the same thing over and over: children born to parents who were only temporarily in the United States were not automatically citizens. That means tourists, travelers, and foreign nationals just passing through were not treated as citizens by default.
And this wasn’t some random, fringe interpretation. It shows up again and again in popular legal writings from that time. The widely accepted assumption was that citizenship meant being an actual part of the American political community, not just your geographical location at the time of birth.
That’s the part most Americans were never told, but now, it’s about to be front-page news.
https://revolver.news/2026/01/team-trump-drops-unexpected-bombshell-in-birthright-citizenship-brief-at-supreme-court/

pgroup2

I’ve lost track of how many decades it’s been that I have been squawking this very same thing. At least 5 decades and maybe 6.

No dirt citizenship. Not in the 14th and not in statutes. Nowhere.

Various uneducated jerks [or deliberate deceivers] started substituting residence for domicile and conveniently omitting ‘legal’ as an adjective for residence.

Side note – none of the aliens allowed in via creative executive orders is ‘legally residing’ in the U.S.A. but you wouldn’t know it from the forms he/she filled out because the forms are misleading.

A routine practice of mixing legal terms with common English has been used as an easy method of defrauding the govt. It’s probably all through the U.S. Code since it’s deep state admins that prepare the bills for submission as official bills.

That brief may be the one thing that starts unwrapping the ball of yarn.

I don’t know how to do spoiler alerts…sorry.
i wouldn’t have posted it, but dang…it’s DEAD ON! LOL

TheseTruths

To use a spoiler alert:

• Write or paste the material you want to post, as usual. If it’s a meme, paste in the URL as you normally would.
• Highlight the portion you want included in the spoiler. If it’s a URL, highlight the whole thing.
• Click on this symbol at the bottom of the comment box: [+]
It will ask you for a spoiler title. Write what you want people to see and to know about the spoiler (“eye bleach alert,” or whatever 😅 ).
• It will enclose your highlighted portion in brackets that include the word “spoiler.” For example:

Spoiler
at the beginning and
 at the end. (You can ignore this; I’m just letting you know what it will look like.)
• Click “Post Comment.”

So:
• Paste your URL.
• Highlight it.
• Choose [+].
• Type in a spoiler title.
• Click “Post Comment.”

Re: “Attoney General” Jay Jones.

When I studied psychology in college, I has this one hard-ass professor who told us on day one that if we EVER misspelled “counselor” as councilor or consular or any other misspelling, we failed his class. One time, that was it.

He said if we were going to DO it (counsel) we’d damned well better be able to SPELL it.

I could barely even type “councilor” up above; “counselor” is so ingrained in me!

Arctic comms!

The precedent was set way back in 2017 that VSGPDJT uses CODE at times, as does the military.

Q said emphatically “Learn our comms!”

It’s becoming easier to translate these particular comms, although they cannot be ‘proven’ to be 100% truth.

Subtlety and sophistication – dodging the exactitude of legal requirements, yet the message is “amorphously clear.”

Pattern recognition … FUN!

TY Pat!

slowcreekno

Interesting that there are several of these penguin posts. So far there has been a lot of noise from commenters pointing out the obvious. (ThErE aRe No PeNgUiNs On GrEeNlAnD) even when one of these pictures accompanies a more interesting discussion. It is so excruciatingly meh…

Time for 36 to 48 hours of wait-and-see. There is a real «there» there, whatever it is. All these posts and comms are done for a reason.

TheseTruths

The Trump administration has not said the penguin posts are about Greenland, to my knowledge.

Of course it’s natural to make that connection since the posts show frozen territory and Greenland is in the news. But maybe the administration is connecting the original penguin meme about going your own way with current events surrounding Greenland, not trying to make a point about penguins being IN Greenland.

Or maybe someone got this started in relation to Greenland, not realizing there are no penguins there. 😅

It’s possible that it’s not about Greenland at all and is just pointing us to the idea of American strength and individualism.

Whatever the case, it doesn’t matter to me. I am on board with the communication.

Aubergine

The original penguin story was about how sometimes a penguin will just head off across the landscape alone, over the mountains, going it completely alone. Even though the way penguins survive in their cold hostile environment is to “stay with the group,” a curious or adventurous one will just head out. It said “Americans have always known” (or something to that effect) up above that video.

I think the message here of “Embrace the Penguin” refers to the American spirit of self-reliance, exploration, and the “frontier.” I think the admin is signalling the public to head out confidently into the “unknown” future, boldly going “where no man has gone before,” into uncharted territory. In this case, the Arctic.

It’s fantastic marketing, which I have come to expect from this administration. They are killing it with memes, videos, and ooh-rah America (hate to use the word, but it is) propaganda. It’s awesome, it’s working, and I love it.

slowcreekno

I haven’t seen any official explanation either. I’ll also be perfectly OK with nothing forthcoming, while waiting for action. Which could well have to do with Antarctica as well. Or the nature of penguins. Or perhaps ICE, what with the cold icy environment.

In which location, any human would want to wear something more appropriate than a business suit. The pictures are photoshopped or AI-generated anyway. A penguin or a polar bear more or less, doesn’t change that.

The noise is the inevitable derailing of someone’s opinion post on Facebook or similar, about Trump and whatever he is up to next with regards to Greenland, illustrated with one of the pictures of Trump and penguins supposedly on Greenland. Then all the replies are about the misplaced fauna and nothing about the actual topic or what the meaning of this picture could be.

Perhaps it is a way to detect NPCs….

And yet, Kerry traveled to Antarctica (why?); and the Roth’s have (own!) an island in their name off the coast; and what a PERFECT place to perform chimeric genetic experimentation; and to hide somewhere VERY few would look for.

“Arctic” is paired to “Antarctic,” home-base of the REAL cabal, unhindered by snoopy noses.

It’s their bolthole, their hideaway … their ‘freedom’ to experiment without intrusion.

Dollars-to-donuts, the cabal/Roth’s have gotten the meaning of invoking “penguins,” introduced ostensibly referring to what’s at play – the Arctic -but the comms of “penguins” paint the 8opposite picture.

“The hunted becomes the hunter!”

OK, so, per AccuWeather, Central NC can get as much as 1.4 inches of total accumulated ice by Sunday night.
This amount of ice will shut off road travel, except for heavy vehicles with tire chains, emergency vehicles with tire chains, power company vehicles with tire chains, etc.
This amount of ice will cause very widespread and days-long power outages.
This amount of ice will bring down multiple numbers of trees, which will either uproot and fall, or break off in the trunk and fall.
This amount of ice will cause persons outside to slip and fall if they aren’t very careful and/or are wearing ice-grippers on their footwear. And even with ice-grippers on boots, walking will be difficult.

freakin’ judges again
article
A federal judge issued one of the most reckless judgments of recent years late Thursday, essentially granting leftist nonprofits final approval authority over Trump administration deportation orders affecting their members. U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young, 85, ruled that the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) have continually had their members’ First Amendment rights violated by federal officials by being targeted for deportation over their support of Hamas or similar terrorist groups. Further, as remediation, Judge Young barred the federal government from deporting AAUP and MESA members without the groups’ permission and final approval by a federal judge.
“This Court ruled that the Plaintiffs American Association of University Professors (‘AAUP’) and their associate chapters, and the Middle East Studies Association (‘MESA’) have shown by clear and convincing evidence that Secretaries [Kristi] Noem and [Marco] Rubio have intentionally and in concert implemented Executive Orders in 14161 and 14188 a viewpoint-discriminatory way to chill protected speech that ‘violated the First Amendment,’” the judge wrote.
Young goes on to say, “Any non-citizen member of the plaintiffs AAUP or MESA, who was a member on or after March 25, 2025, and continued as a member through September 30, 2025, shall have a right to institute a proceeding (‘Sanction Action’) in the United States District Court…”
While Judge Young’s ruling is unlikely to stand on appeal, it marks one of the most radical rulings ever against federal immigration law and the executive branch’s ability to enforce it. Not only does Young ignore the jurisdiction of the U.S. Immigration Court system—an error highlighted in a separate case that The National Pulse reported on last week—he makes the drastic move of essentially granting two private nonprofit groups, the AAUP and MESA, veto power over deportation proceedings unless a federal district court judge approves the deportation.

It might be useful if ICE had a dedicated Crowd Control Department with quick response Crowd Control Units so they very quickly could get the upper hand and control the crazed Libs and legal or illegal aliens that try to impede them or worse. Each ICE action that has some minimum number of ICE officers involved could be assigned one or more Crowd Control Officers who were dedicated to crowd control, rather than apprehension.

A letter..sheesh

TheseTruths

Who wants to hear about a letter?

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I do. I want to know everything they are doing, that they consider safe to tell us. If that’s a letter at this point, so be it. There’s no way that I could advise them about what to do.

We watch Pres. Trump negotiate on the world stage, manipulating countries and international organizations seemingly as easily as moving pieces on a chess board, while at the same time we think 1) he’s clueless about what the DOJ is doing, or 2) that he knows what they’re doing and disapproves and would do exactly what we would suggest but is not saying a word (which is so unlike him that it’s ludicrous). A third option is that he knows what they’re doing, he knows why, he knows the strategy going forward, and he both approves it and considers it to be the best, or even the only, way. Unless and until Pres. Trump indicates otherwise, I’m going to consider the third option to be in play.

Wolf Moon

Once I was clued in how Trump and Stephen Miller were dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s on the Insurrection Act, with a variety of legal actions, executive orders, etc., and had been doing so for a while, I stopped sweating this stuff.

I’m now convinced that the Insurrection Act is part of the plan, and has been long before the Inauguration.

Gail Combs

After the George Floyd mess and knowing there are PAID protesters, I am sure it was in the plans.

TheseTruths

You mean Pres. Trump and AG Bondi are working together and are on the same page? 🤔

If they are carefully leading up to the Insurrection Act, that is excellent!

Wolf Moon

This is why the Insurrection Act is the only way.

Wolf Moon

I can hear Bondi “acting” when she said that crap about the letter. I was almost afraid she was going to start laughing.

She knows. This is perfomative boilerplate that happens before the pin is pulled on the Insurrection Act. They’re making it nice and legal.

This was his public warning. This was Sherman warning his Southern friends that insurrection was a grave error.

Gail Combs

Yes, that is what I think too. This is the necessary formal warning.

TheseTruths

This was his public warning.

That fits in with how Pres. Trump operates. He gives people chances to do the right thing. He warns them and lets them make their decisions as he lays the groundwork to do things legally.

TheseTruths

Most people seem to be tired of letters. My impression is that the DOJ has steps it has to take, or possibly steps it thinks that legally and politically are best to take.

According to what Bondi said, this was not a “do this or we’re going to come after you” type of letter. It was a “support the administration’s law enforcement efforts because we’re not stopping and we’re going to enforce the law and protect the citizens” type of letter. Maybe it contains an “or else” clause. The DOJ is not going to reveal something like that.

She said things are fluid. So if Walz continues his anti-ICE rhetoric while they continue to enforce the law, things will end up in a collision; but Bondi is not going to spill the beans, much as we’d like her to.

A lot of people want the administration to go scorched earth, but that can often backfire and preclude the goal from being accomplished. I doubt that any one of us, with the possible exception of pgroup and maybe a few others I’m not aware of, knows the implications of doing what we sit behind our computers and demand. I would ask what people want the DOJ to do, but it’s pointless because the demands I’ve seen here and elsewhere, for a variety of situations, are completely unworkable and would only cause more trouble. Sometimes the “solutions” are unlawful, but because Bondi is not doing them, right now, she’s the bad guy.

Bondi is in a tough spot. If she goes on Fox News, people say that’s all she does. If she doesn’t communicate by appearing on Fox or other network TV or by writing X posts, etc., then people assume the worst and say that nothing is being done and that she’s getting her hair and makeup done for her next TV appearance. If she hadn’t said anything about communicating with Walz in a letter, we would not know that they had addressed him directly. When she does communicate, people are never satisfied because they think they know what needs to be done, all the while turning it into a lose-lose, demoralizing situation.

Wolf Moon

Exactly. Totally agreed.

This is Insurrection Act boilerplate.

Get ready for the stuff Q was talking about. Don’t sweat things.

PREPARE.

TheseTruths

🇺🇸 👍🏼

Aubergine

I think she would have been far better off to stay off of TV, put out a statement, and have it read by some media person on air, if this really was in preparation for something. The letter, if necessary for the Insurrection Act, is the pertinent instrument, not an announcement by the AG on Fox News.

It can’t be, because when the Insurrection Act was enacted in 1807, there was no TV and no Faux News. What did they do, hire the town crier to shout it out? Did he have hair and make-up beforehand?

Bondi just did the meme on national TV. She looks ridiculous. We “sent a strong letter.” Good lord.

“Fasten your seat belts. And shut the fuck up.” — your Insurrection Act tour guide.  😂

She knows better than to speak for DoW and Hegseth.

That’s what she can’t say. She knows that at some point, Trump takes this out of her hands.

Wolf Moon

Yup.

Gail Combs

IIRC, a formal demand has to be made before the insurrection act can be implemented.

I thought it was a demand that people clear the streets and go home, however the Bondi letter to Walz may meet the letter of the law.

Wolf Moon

IMO they will cover all bases for interpretation of the requirements of the act.

Just The News: “A federal appeals court concluded that the Justice Department has shown probable cause to charge former CNN anchor Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a St. Paul, Minnesota church, but the court declined to order a lower-court judge to sign the arrest warrants that prosecutors sought.
The decision, unsealed Saturday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, came after the Justice Department asked the appeals court to overrule a Minnesota magistrate judge who refused to approve multiple arrest warrants related to the protest.
The protest took place Sunday inside Cities Church in St. Paul after demonstrators against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) entered the building when they believed an ICE official was one of the church’s pastors.”

I cant see post bc restricted. Are these the “females” that did it?

He will have surgery and be on nedical for avwhile. He will have to heal and requalify w all his weapons before going back to work. I dont know how he will be able to grip real well without his ring finger. It may end his career or be reassigned. Thats going to cause depression if so. Demoralizing too.

Did this happen while he had gloves on? That’s incredible damage through a glove.

gil00

I dont know. But wow.

mollypitcher5

I’ve seen an injury on a man’s leg through heavy Levis so it can happen but wow is right

gil00

Its so cold i cant imagine he wasnt wearing even thin gloves. Im looking for background on what happened but nothing.

In most [maybe all] states, there are special statutes for the crime of mayhem that increase the sentence to a LOT more than plain old assault & battery.

I would have caused the biter to get a 9mm in the head.

To make him/her stop.

I’ll take my chances with a jury.

🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them. 

BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED 

Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group to start.

Better have that record quick.

“…ICE chaser operations go all night. The dispatch call is 24/7. These are messages screenshotted at 2am asking for observers at a location with potential illegals.

It’s from a “vetted” chat called “Wolfpack”…”

#BREAKING: Minnesota Signal group leader identified as Amanda Koehler, A ‘Protest’ organizer & campaign strategist for Tim Walz.

The Reckoning 💥
@sethjlevy

Is this true?

Rodster (New)  🇺🇲

The claim in the post appears to be true based on available evidence. Amanda Noelle Koehler has been identified as an admin in the “MN ICE Watch” Signal chat group, which focuses on tracking and disrupting immigration enforcement activities (e.g., alerting communities to ICE presence and organizing responses). This identification stems from independent reporting and leaked chat details matching her public profiles, phone number (651-431-1117, listed in political organizing contexts), and known activism.

She is a known protest organizer in Minnesota, involved in advocacy for issues like equitable food systems, climate policy, and immigrant rights through groups like the Land Stewardship Project (where she previously served as policy manager and federal policy organizer until mid-2025). She now runs her own consulting firm focused on policy development, coalition building, and organizing.

Her connection to Tim Walz includes working as a campaign strategist during his gubernatorial runs, evidenced by photos of them together at events, her involvement in DFL (Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party) organizing (e.g., carpool coordination for Walz-related rallies), and her advocacy work aligning with his administration’s policies on agriculture, environment, and social issues. No credible sources dispute these ties or her role in the Signal group.

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.

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening

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,
 
Amen.

If there is any truth to the allegations that Rand Paul has smurfing issues (illegal campaign contributions), maybe that will cause him to toe the line and get behind the agenda more. Or maybe if there is no truth to it, he will still feel the need to support Pres. Trump because of the bad publicity it is causing for him.

Anyone caught smurfing, sentenced to being painted blue and wearing white pants with sewn-on footies, for not less than three years.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

NYT is reporting that Tracee Mergen, a supervisor in the FBI Minnesota Field office, quit over DOJ orders to drop her civil rights inquiry into the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.

But a big part of Mergen’s resume was omitted in the article: her deep involvement in the prosecution of Tom Barrack, chair of President Trump’s first inaugural committee and a longtime associate. Barrack’s case represented yet another politically-motivated and retaliatory use of the Biden DOJ against the president and his allies.

Mergen at the time was at the notoriously corrupt New York FBI field office. She was a lead agent in the investigation into Barrack for FARA, conspiracy, and other offenses. He was indicted by the Biden DOJ in 2021. (Press release is another reminder of the brazenly political Biden DOJ and the press had absolutely no qualms about it back then.)

Not only did Mergen testify to the grand jury in the Barrack matter, she also testified as a government witness at trial. Barrack’s lawyers, however, accused Mergen of making false statements to the grand jury and tried unsuccessfully to obtain all transcripts of her GJ testimony.

Barrack was acquitted on all charges.

Looks like Bondi, Blanche, and Patel smoked out another bad actor.Image
Judge Brian Cogan (GWB) denied Barrack’s request in this order–not exactly convincing evidence that Mergen had been straight up with the grand jury.

Regardless, Barrack beat the case, which is highly unusual especially in New York. He is now the US ambassador to Turkey and the president’s special envoy to Syria.

Sorry, Tracee.

Wolf Moon

This is exactly what I voted for, and more than I even hoped possible.

We are flushing the partisan leftist haters out of FBI and DOJ. And THANK GOD for it.

Good online friends—

Yours Truly’s fireplace has issues (damper needs to be replaced), so she packed herself and Solas up and got to her son’s house late this afternoon. Will be there for the duration of the storm.

To anyone in the path of this storm—be safe. Stay warm. Stay off the roads.

Lol, he was so excited! There’s a nice dog and 2 cats at my son’s house. Solas and the dog bonded instantly. The cats ran away and hid in a bedroom.

It’s absolutely incredible, to see not just how far they are willing to go, but that they are willing to go all the way, full-Hitler, whatever it takes.

They will accept nothing less than being absolutely crushed.

A miscalculation the size of the Milky Way.

Yeah, I think Mr. Whitmore is actually a fake person. The video is – at the very minimum – an AI air-brushing of a real person, but IMO it’s all high-quality AI, very likely produced by people I’m not going to bust, because I agree with what they’re doing. This is basically a psy-op to encourage patriots to remain non-violent. Which sounds almost like Q, but I digress! 😉

I am beginning to wonder if these people with rifles and guns are sacrificing themselves for the cause? No normal person does that trying to stand against ICE? The more people get shot the more likely it is that riots expanse. Really these people in this climate need to be taken off the street.

Some wisdom from my late, lamented Uncle Steven, who was such an amazing forager….

When salt trucks are running around smaller streets, they frequently don’t turn off the salt distribution when they come up to stop signs. Accordingly, they leave a little line of unneeded salt one truck-length behind the limit line. My uncle would hop out and sweep up these lines into a dust pan and drop it in a bucket in the back of his truck — it was only going to impact vegetation if he left it.

In this way, he’d accumulate enough free road salt for use around his property.

[He grew up in Michigan, so he’d do that “Legolas running around on top of snow” thing in sneakers.]

“legolas running around on top of snow” thing….LOL…although I don’t live in Michigan, I can visualize your uncle so well cthulu..:0)
