2026.02.24 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

Let’s start the day with scripture from Paul that all of the Democratic Party and its unhinged wackos need to take seriously, but will not.

Romans 13:3-4:

For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;” (NASB)

On with the show…

Women In Politics And Law

No pearl clutching by our wonderful female readers and contributors on here is allowed. Most, if not all of you, will agree with what I will be stating anyway.

What do you see in the info contained in this link?

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/signers-factsheet

Here’s a PDF of the same data.

https://www.archives.gov/files/founding-docs/declaration-signers-gallery-facts.pdf

We see famous patriots from ages 26 to 70. Only seven were 60 years of age or more. That is hugely different than today with so many being 70 and older. Each signed the document knowing it could mean their death and/or the loss of everything they had including families. Those are real profiles in courage.

Eight were actually born in Great Britain. An interesting thing is that 25 of the 56 were lawyers, about 45%. They had studied and were practicing English common law among other legal related aspects. Which leads to another interesting question. After 250 years, how many in Congress today are lawyers? My initial guess was that percentage would be even higher.

Nope, it is less.

For the 119th Congress there are 179 with a law degree out of 541 total members at that point. That means it is about 33% of the total. Unfortunately, that also means more elected officials are full time politicians. Which makes many into opportunists with minimal added value to the discourse in Congress.

From what I can tell from the recent past, this is a consistent representation, that about a third have a law degree. That makes the modern day Congress even more dependent on potentially corrupted political party controlled legal staff support for analysis of legislation, regulations, etc. Based on their media comments, many elected members appear to be clueless about the law and the Constitution. Others weaponize it using lies and distortions. That makes many of them no more than professional actors who are subject to massive manipulation because they do not understand what they are doing. Of course the Democrat Party desires no critical thinking from their members since they are given and generally follow orders to vote as a block and be mockingbird propagandists. Which also makes them operatives of the ideology of others and not leaders.

Anybody want to make the claim that corrupted Mad Max, AOC, Jasmine and other mental midgets in Congress really know their shiz? Didn’t think so.

However, there are more issues to consider lying below the surface. Since we know women were not active in the operation of government during our nation’s formation as well as for many years afterwards, what impact have they made on the discourse and operation of government today as they have become much more active? Currently, approximately 29% of elected members of Congress are female. That percentage has grown steadily in recent times. The political mix is interesting and unsurprising. About 62% are Dem, 112 in total. That means 20% +/- of all Congressional members are raging leftists who cannot focus on what really matters to keep this country afloat. With the demise of alpha males in the Dem party and rise of AWFL’s and Islamist plants, it was just a matter of time before their shrill, propagandist voices were heard much too loudly as we see from the Squad and others.

Please do not mistake this analysis to be anti-woman. It is not. It is anti-leftist ideologue woman as well as man. To refuse to see or ignore it helps the enemies of MAGA.

Now that we have determined the root of this major issue, how many of those 112 females are lawyers? It turns out there are 45 with law degrees. That is over 40%, which is disproportionate to the current 33% being lawyers among all members of the 119th Congress. This group represent 25% of all lawyers in Congress. This is a growing number as the traditional Democratic Party and its supporters are replaced by leftist progressives. An increasing number of beta men and foreigners with illegal immigration backgrounds have also been replacing the traditional segments of that party.

Think about the on-going year long campaign of tough, potty mouth talk from Dems led by Dime Store Obama, Cryin’ Chuck, Gruesome, Murphy’s Law, Pocahontas, AOC, et al. They know. They needed to counter and had nothing left to sell to the alpha males who were leaving and continue to leave the party. Gruesome hit Davos in January and tried to act tough while only increasing the alpha appeal of PDT in the process. The Rules Based Order crowd in Munich that Marco addressed rather directly felt the alpha sovereignty approach up front and personal. Leftists that preceded and followed him were shamed by their incompetence.

The Challenge

However, I think we America First MAGA types have correctly identified serious foes in their own special category of AWFL that we should be targeting in political races to keep this nation on the path to restoration and out of the hands of enemy combatants who have used infiltration over invasion as Q told us. There is still a large block of sheeple who will follow the left’s piper over the proverbial cliff.

Most are not serious people. Their focus is on social justice and minutia to gain power as good little commies do. The fact that they generally support radical Islamists, illegals, domestic criminals, perverts, woke, and the like is strange, but clearly in evidence daily.

We only need to look toward Europe to know where this originates as well as how it will turn out if left unrestrained. Many leftist women are dominating government activities there. The following link indicates that 27% of all parliaments around the world are comprised of women. The good news is the rate of increase is slowing.

https://www.ipu.org

In Great Britain the numbers are much higher. In 2024 there were 263 women out of the 650 total – 40%. This is up 6% in five years.There are also 25 Muslims. This tells us that the British culture and ruling government has been moving left at a rapidly increasing rate. We see the effects of that as censorship is on the rise along with related charges and arrests for thought and word crimes.

Cause and effect is on full display. More beta men along with more militaristic leftist women and Islamics. A similar plan has been underway for taking down America as a superpower and making it into the socialist shizhole they can rule in ease and wealth at the expense of the sheeple who do their bidding.

It is a tale as old as time itself.

Many in the leftist camp in America claim to represent the mainstream views of our population. They claim to be Christians, claim to be traditional, claim to be pro family, claim to be patriots, claim to be pro military, claim to be for the Constitution and law. They not only use the fake news, entertainment and social media; they use the institutions within the education industry and church denominations to further their causes. It is an all out, open attack 24/7.

Claims are not truth. Our response is and always has been unashamed, unrestrained truth leading to firm vocal responses and actions being performed openly for all to hear and see. It is not acceptable to be a coward or to shrink from this conflict.

Know the truth and it sets you free. If you fear death and destruction over living for truth, you have lost the battle before it begins. A 23 year old youtuber, Nick Shirley, has successfully taken on the ire of the Democrat criminal machine. He now gets death threats daily and needs security. His response to it all – go public and do more. Now that patriots are in charge, they used his information and went on the attack. That is what it takes from all of us. Be as brave as the 23 year old youtuber who values truth over personal safety and vocal attacks.

Take courage and be prepared to counter the bullshiz from the left anywhere and anytime. You will be glad you did. When I see former friends and family members who are sold out leftists turn and go a different way when they see me I know I have been successful in standing my ground. They prove they were never true friends by their actions. History will judge them. Those with different views who want to have dialog and discuss as adults still remain friends and can reason together as Isaiah 1:18 suggests.

Which was the way of Charlie. Never forget. Check out the TPUSA stats, it is now up to 6300 active chapters. Young people know. The rest of us need to have a similar resolve.

This is interesting because I’ve also seen the argument that Congress was not meant to be comprised of lawyers, but of a cross-section of the people. But we desperately need intelligent people who know the Constitution, and I agree that knowledge of the law seems helpful.

Wolf Moon

Yes. After listening to “4 Boxes Diner Guy” (Mark W. Smith), I can really see why having Constitutional lawyers is useful. But some of these people are just educated criminals with training in fraud through the law!

Wolf Moon

Indeed!!!

scott467

A.I. could certainly be helpful in this area to Congress critters, to quickly analyze proposed bills and have A.I. crosscheck them for Constitutional conflicts.

If they put the time and effort into using it.

My understanding is that AI can be used as a search engine that reports facts. I think it could state both what the Constitution actually says as well as commentary on it that would include SCOTUS rulings and the like.

__________

I don’t want to embrace it, but I recognize that it’s like the Pilgrims and settlers having rifles, while the Indians only had bows and arrows.

Those who did not embrace the rifle were going to lose.

So not embracing new technology is not an option, not when it gives potential competitors an overwhelming advantage.

Not embracing cell phones was an option, except in cases where it might be required for work, first as a competitive advantage over those who didn’t have one, and then to maintain parity with everyone who eventually did use one for work.

Cell phone adoption took over a decade to become ubiquitous.

A.I. is moving much faster.

Cuppa Covfefe

In the end, it’s GIGO.

And, although people and the MSM elevate AI to be a minor deity or even a god, all it is is a lightning-fast computation engine which can compare two registers, e.g. zero to zero, one to one, zero to one, and one to zero, and permute that into addition, which is the basis of ALL mathematical operations ANY computer can perform. Yep, subtraction is negative addition (hence “additive inverse” becoming popular in SMSG in the 1960s)…

Considering that “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel”, “poisoned” data ruins (“invalidates”) the entire data set.

AI is just a tool; not an end, not an “infallible guide”, and most assuredly something to blindly trust.

Valerie Curren

AI is just a tool; not an end, not an “infallible guide”, and most assuredly something to blindly trust.”

That’s all true.

That doesn’t mean the tool isn’t useful, it just means you need to verify the results, if the consequences for being wrong are serious enough.

You can use an A.I. to analyze the earnings reports of 10,000 companies to find the best three in a half hour or less, at no cost.

It would take thousands of man hours and CPAs (or similar) and millions of dollars in billable hours to do that job the old way.

When you get the top 3, you better check the A.I.’s work to make sure it’s right, before your hedge fund invests a few billion dollars based on the conclusions.

But that doesn’t invalidate the usefulness of the tool, so long as the tool is capable for the task.

Which it is.

patfrederick

you’re making assumptions–1. that ai is not biased in their programming and 2. given the same bias, one accountant can give you the same result just as quickly…LOL
your trust is misguided.
it all leads back to GIGO.
if you blindly trust the salesman selling you the product, you’ll buy anything.

Valerie Curren

There were some court cases where lawyers submitted briefs quoting “existing law or regulations” & when the judge went to look the cases up they were entirely fabricated by the AI assistant, at least that’s my recall of a couple stories shared here previously, fwiw…

scott467

Yes, very true.

That was at least a year ago, if I remember correctly.

A year in A.I. development time, at the speed A.I. is developing, is a long time.

Many of the analysts talk about this very thing.

They say that early adopters tried A.I., saw the ‘hallucinations’ and other problems, and decided it wasn’t ready for prime time, and moved on.

Those people who have not been keeping up with the improvements have no idea how far A.I. has come in the short time since, and they won’t realize how much A.I. has improved, until they overcome their bias and try it again.

scott467

“based on what? GIGO”

______________

Of course.

But the Constitution is not garbage, so you put that in first.

The proposed legislation could certainly be garbage, and probably is, so that’s what needs to be tested against the non-garbage Constitution.

Tests are run continuously on various A.I. models, broken into 4 quadrants (IIRC), and of all of them, Grok is the only one that shows a slight bias to the right.

All others are slight bias to Left or (mostly) hard bias to the Left.

So I would use Grok. I’m sure Grok is fully aware of the contents of the Constitution.

So have Grok scan any proposed legislation (Grok should be able to ‘read’ a 500+ page bill in 2 to 5 seconds).

Then ask Grok to analyze the bill and:

1) highlight all potential conflicts with the Constitution and other existing law

2) cite relevant cases demonstrating any such conflicts which have previously been adjudicated on those conflicts, with a one paragraph summary of each

3) if the proposed legislation has any conflicts with the Constitution or other preexisting law, prepare a 1-page report explaining why the proposed legislation is DOA, and attach as many pages as needed to cover the citations proving the position.

Grok should give you that report in 2 to 5 seconds.

Drop it off at your friendly corrupt legislator’s office, and go to lunch early.

You’ve earned it… 😁

provided you have an unadulterated version of the Constitution and a virtuous programmer and no backdoor hackers who change things.

can you prove that that is possible? each and every time?

Nigerian princes also earn their lunches.

scott467

Elon has a very strong interest in maintaining the credibility of Grok. That doesn’t mean it can’t make mistakes. It’s not perfect, but they fix mistakes as they find them, just like they do with FSD (full self-driving), so it is getting better every day. It just had an update from Grok 4.1 to 4.2, and people who have used it say the improvement is noticeable.

If Grok, as the leading A.I. model, got something as simple and important as the Constitution wrong, that would be like a Ralphy Nader “Unsafe at any Speed” moment.

Grok is well past that stage of development 👍

____________

Me: Grok, has any Tesla FSD ever been hacked before?

Grok’s reply: “No, there is no publicly documented case of a Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) system being remotely hacked or taken over in a real-world driving scenario by an unauthorized party.

Tesla’s VP of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, stated in U.S. Senate testimony that no one has ever taken control of a Tesla vehicle remotely, emphasizing multiple layers of security—including isolated driving controls that can’t be accessed externally and a “two-person” cryptographic sign-off required for any firmware updates.

Tesla actively participates in hacking competitions (like Pwn2Own) and pays researchers to test for vulnerabilities.

That said, researchers have demonstrated physical or close-access hacks on Tesla’s Autopilot/FSD hardware:

  • In 2023–2024, TU Berlin researchers used voltage glitching (a fault injection technique requiring physical access to the circuit board) on a Tesla Model 3’s Autopilot hardware. This allowed them to gain root access, recover deleted data, and unlock a hidden “Elon Mode” (a developer feature for hands-free/full self-driving without driver monitoring/nags). They reported it to Tesla, and similar demos continued into 2024. This is not a remote exploit—it’s more like advanced hardware tampering.
  • Other security research (e.g., from Tencent’s Keen Security Lab years ago) involved compromising Autopilot components, but again, these were controlled demonstrations, not real-world malicious takeovers.
  • In China, an illicit market exists for unauthorized hardware/software mods that bypass restrictions to enable FSD-like features (e.g., disabling steering wheel nag), with over 100,000 reported installations. These are user-initiated “hacks” to unlock unavailable features, not external attacks.
  • Broader Tesla hacks have targeted infotainment systems (e.g., jailbreaks to unlock paid features like Acceleration Boost or potentially FSD via AMD processor exploits), but these don’t directly control driving functions. Tesla’s core driving stack remains segregated and highly protected.
  • Leaks of FSD beta software occurred in the past (e.g., around 2021), allowing some to run it unofficially in unsupported regions, but that’s code distribution, not hacking the running system on a car.

Overall, while Tesla vehicles (including Autopilot/FSD components) have faced vulnerabilities—mostly requiring physical access or insider actions—no evidence shows a malicious remote hack successfully taking over FSD in the wild.

Tesla’s design prioritizes isolating critical driving systems, and they bounty-hunt exploits aggressively. If you’re concerned about cybersecurity, Tesla’s track record here is strong compared to many automakers.”

Cuppa Covfefe

Perfect example of Buck Rogers scientism (as well as Isaac Asimov’s blind spot)….

scott467

It’s funny, watching how people react to this stuff 😂

Nobody has to take my word for anything, it’s happening.

Self-driving taxis are rolling off the Tesla assembly line right now, expected to double production every month, which gets to very large numbers very quickly at that pace.

These cars have no steering wheel or pedals.

That means no observer riding along, and no driver is even possible.

You don’t ramp up to hundreds of thousands and then millions of cars without steering wheels and pedals, unless you have conquered FSD (full self driving).

You’ll see.

Everyone will see.

It’s fascinating to watch this mass denial.

Maybe we could get a law passed that all members of Congress have to take and pass a Constitutional law course taught by Clarence Thomas. It could be about three months long, and have a comprehensive final exam. If they don’t pass, they can’t be admitted to Congress, and their district has to try again.

A test for psychopaths at the very least.

Followed by law preventing psychopaths from ever being in any position of leadership (government or private enterprise) or human caregiving (doctors, nurses, firemen) or law enforcement or judges or teachers.

And a law requiring anyone identified as a psychopath to register, like a sex offender, on a public database.

There is no reason why 8 billion people should live in misery and chaos due to the actions of less than roughly 2% of the human population.

Apparently DOGE is still going strong, and using “follow the money” to identify all fraud, waste and abuse.

Once the system is complete, it can all be published to the publicly viewable blockchain and updated continuously in real time, so everyone can see where every taxpayer dollar is going, always.

When the ability to divert, steal, reallocate or otherwise manipulate the money is removed from the system, because of public scrutiny, two things (at least) will happen:

1) the temptation to do wrong for filthy lucre will be removed, and that’s 90% of the battle

2) the congress orcs with the rubber spines will be able to resist lobbyists by simply saying:

“Sorry, I can’t do that anymore, the A.I. watches every dollar now. If I do what you ask, it will be found out in less than 5 minutes. Five minutes after that, reporters will be at my office asking questions. And then I will have to tell them you coerced me to do it, because I am spineless, or I wouldn’t be in Congress in the first place, so I will have no choice but to rat you out.

And then the reporters will be at your office about 15 minutes after that. And you don’t want that.”

This, exactly. I know a couple who raised their daughter that way. This couple were considered the “mean parents” during the high school years. But the daughter never got into any of the life-impacting trouble that some of her peers did. She married her college sweetheart after they graduated, and they now have a daughter of their own.

Mark Steyn has some thoughts —

Messrs Wilson, Jeffery, Ingram, Diggins, Smith… Those are credible names for a morris-dancing troupe in Little Sodding on the Bollock, but not otherwise for an England in which the Home Secretary is Mahmoud, the Mayor of London is Khan, and the front bench of Farage’s “far-right” “nativist” “populist” opposition is Yusuf and Zahawi while their candidate in Portsmouth is a citizen of Bangladesh called Asaduzzaman.

During the two-decade “war on terror”, more British Muslims served with Isis and the like than as soldiers of the Queen. Yet pasty sallow blokes called Smith and Jones are still expected to sign up for a land in which they’ve been demographically dispossessed and for a king whose enthusiasm for Ramadan jubilations is matched only by his PM’s for Slav twinks.

I just don’t see how people miss that, and just how dire our situation is. The left have embedded “anti-discrimination” and “hate-speech” language into almost every law on the books, and turn a blind eye on the atrocities committed by the “immigrants”.

The problems in the UK got markedly worse in the early 1950s (1953?) when India gained independence, and Pakistan came along for the ride, so to speak, allowing a fast path to British citizenship… so in 1964 when my Pop in London told me that England was facing being overrun by the Pakis, it was already underway for 11 years…

And 1964 was (mercy me) 62 years ago… 😮

Well, we were never meant to see THAT!

So the Chief Medical Examiner had to sign an NDA about Epstein’s death, and this attorney called it his “murder.”

Trans People Have Had Enough of Democrats’ Waffling on LGBTQ+ Issues
I didn’t know that Dems were waffling on those issues. I had seen nothing but support from them. But it’s all about politics, and the midterms are coming up.

…Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term in office, his administration and congressional Republicans have worked to enact restrictions for trans people around health care and access to sports. Democrats have struggled to respond, with many politicians and consultantsconsidering it politically risky to speak on trans issues after Trump managed to weaponize them in the 2024 election.

February 2025 poll from the Pew Research Center found that Americans have grown more supportive of restrictions for trans people: 56% say they support making it illegal to for health providers to offer gender-affirming care to minors, compared to 46% in 2022; and 66% support requiring trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex at birth, up from 58% in 2022.

The people most affected by these policies, though, are growing tired of Democrats staying on the sidelines.

Rosie, a mom from New Hampshire who asked to be referred to by only her first name for privacy, traveled to D.C. with her 9-year-old daughter Emily, who is trans, to advocate to her state’s members of Congress. The first time Emily visited Congress with her mom was in late 2024, when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v Skrmetti, a case over whether state bans on gender-affirming care were constitutional. Emily was 7…

A 9-year-old girl thinks she’s trans. That’s really sad. Her life is on a negative trajectory, and things could have been so different for her.

What these people don’t understand is that a huge number of us see this as a battle for society and even for our country. Either they win by infiltrating sports and restrooms and organizations, or we win by keeping things normal. I don’t see a middle ground. They have chosen the difficult path, and it’s their problem.

In the end, it’s a battle for OUR SOULS!

And our society, which appears to share the views, lack of urgency, and indifference as mentioned in Revelation 3:14ff about the Church of Laodicea, looks away and does little to nothing, not wanting to “offend” anyone nor be “preachy”…

To which I can only reply with Matthew 10:32-33:

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

All of this “trans” nonsense comes from the darkness. It’s my instruction from Jesus to be the light of the world.

Matthew 5

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

TheseTruths

Uh-oh. The peeps want more support while some politicians see that it’s a losing proposition. But, as this article says, I think Dems will continue to support these fringe issues even though they will never be able to satisfy those people because whatever is done is never enough for them. They want to control everything.

NOT POSSIBLE: Gavin Newsom Says Democrats Must be More ‘Culturally Normal’ to Win Elections (VIDEO)

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently told CNN that in order to win elections, Democrats need to be more ‘culturally normal.’

He emphasized that Democrats need to spend less time talking about gender and pronouns and more time focused on the issues that matter to most Americans, like the economy, jobs, housing, etc.

While Newsom is making a valid point for once, his party is simply not capable of doing this. They have made it clear that things like ‘trans rights’ are more important to them than housing or any other pressing issue…

Think about what the Democrat National Convention is going to look like for 2028. Does Gavin Newsom really believe that it won’t be full of trans activists and candidates pledging to support them? Of course it will.

Newsom’s instincts may be right here, but that is simply not where his party is today. They can’t make it through an election speech without sounding downright abnormal to most Americans. The gender issue is a hill their party will die upon.

I think the reason they say that is because the baggage has a weight limit for the handlers. Usually packages ( like at FedEx) have a certain weight limit before it becomes a 2 person job. Throwing a heavy suitcase into the cart, onto the belt and so forth increases the chance of on-the-job injuries. just saying

They tried that game with our sanitation engineers once, about 10 years ago.

I noticed that my trash hadn’t been taken on normal pick-up day, it happens once or twice a year for some reason, so I called the city to have them send someone to get it.

They checked, and said my trash can was too heavy.

I hung up, went outside, grabbed the trash can, and walked a block to the city building.

Walked inside, up to the police dispatcher window.

I asked him where the trash department was, and he pointed me down the hall, so down the hall I went, with my trash can.

When I got to the trash department, I walked up to the counter, and someone asked if they could help me.

Told them who I was, that I had just called a few minutes ago, and I was there about the trash not being picked up.

She said yes, it’s too heavy.

I lifted the trash can up to the counter level with one hand so she could see it, and LITERALLY said “Where are the skirt-wearin’ sissies who claim this trash can is too heavy to lift?”

I remember the ‘skirt-wearin’ sissies‘ part clearly.

She said she would go get the manager.

The manager came over, looked at the trash can, picked it up, asked me what my address was, said he would take care of it right away, and it wouldn’t happen again.

And it hasn’t 😁

An arrest has been made following an attack on DHS offices outside of Boise, Idaho.

A 43-year-old Boise woman has been arrested in connection with last week’s theft of an ambulance and an alleged attempt to set fire to a Meridian building, authorities announced Monday night.

Sarah Elizabeth George was taken into custody after Meridian Police, along with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, served an arrest warrant and executed a search warrant at her Boise residence earlier Monday evening. George is facing federal charges.

We had more fun, joy, & hilarity at Special Olympics games over the years–magical!

Way way back I worked with special needs kids. They were so funny and pure in heart.

Valerie Curren

Hats off! I couldn’t do that as living with it has been such a trial in so many ways. I’m very thankful for those who have such large hearts to pour into the lives of our quirky kids. Thank you so much for that loving service!!!

mollypitcher5

Back then (in Ca) there was a time special needs had big budgets and lots of programs and perks. Those kids were seemingly very happy and thriving among their peers. Of course it eventually went the way of wokeism. The new thinking was to shuffle them into reg classes. Maybe it’s good but instead of being in a group with like struggles and no judgement they were often the lone SN in a class dependent on a couple of nice students to help them adjust.

Thanks for the nice words. In that job it was also a lot of contact with the parents or foster families. Talk about loving service! In most cases it sure seemed like God blessed the kids with just the right parents too. You and your husband/family are living proof!

Anyhoo..I learned a lot about them and myself with a bunch of super funny memories that still crack me up.

Valerie Curren

My family of origin, very sports minded, have often remarked that watching the Special Olympics games was some of the best spectator sports they ever encountered. Lots of wild& fun stuff!

One of my friends from college days once told me that she thought I was the perfect mom for my special needs son. Given his extreme degree of complexity & the encouragement we received over the years from some key providers this was pretty high praise that I tried to hold onto, even though mostly feeling inadequate to the many battles that we faced over the now 3 decades. My oldest son seems to think that I wasted my education, being mostly out of the work force since I became a parent, but I think that my pre-med & counseling degrees helped to prepare me for the many challenges ahead, as did the extreme social isolation that came with aspects of my painful personal journey. “Wax on, wax off” & all…

I was finally able to see that video as I was having tech issues before. It reminded me loosely of Josiah’s track experiences in high school. Track was a “non-cut” sport so if you went out for it you could be on the track team. Josiah was in a couple of short distance events, the 100 & the 200 (not sure if that was yards or meters). Most races he came in last & his gait clearly showed that he had issues. I would loudly cheer for him from the stands, or sometimes from the field as I would divide attention between the twins’ running events & my daughter’s shot put & discus events. Once when cheering from the field he literally stopped in the middle of his race to look at me, which was hilarious.

What was pretty special was when many people in the stands would start cheering loudly for him by name, even parents of the opponents. I was blown away when the coach granted him a Varsity Letter in one of his later seasons. That was some of the best versions of inclusion we experienced in the public schools for him. I would have let him play football, which was also a non-cut sport, but he wasn’t allowed to compete where he could get “blows to the chest” after his heart surgeries. When the pediatric cardiologist rescinded that restriction he was then in the post-liver transplant phase & the football season of his senior year was past before the liver transplant doc would allow him into contact sports.

It was funny but Clarissa often had swim meets on the same day that the football team was eating late in the cafeteria after either a game or practice. We had to walk along the edge of the cafeteria to get to the pool & plenty of times the football players were calling out Josiah by name & high-fiving him. He would have loved to have played football (as would his brothers who both chose soccer as they’d both been playing that sport since elementary school & football & soccer occurred in the fall so you could only play one).

Josiah was friends with Brett, a cystic fibrosis patient (as was his younger brother who died early in his HS years). They both played on the football team as it was so important to them (& their mom) that they have that sports experience. At one point, not too long before his death, Brett’s little brother was put on the liver transplant list. They fashioned a special protective shield for his torso to prevent his liver from injury during football. It appeared to be made of similar white material like what Josiah’s orthotic helmet (to try to correct his positional head deformity) looked like (apart from the holes drilled in J’s later helmets to help release heat & making him look like he was wearing a whiffle ball hat!)

“Please do not mistake this analysis to be anti-woman. It is not. It is anti-leftist ideologue woman as well as man. To refuse to see or ignore it helps the enemies of MAGA.”

I think your analysis is anti-governance by emotion instead of logic.

Because that’s the root of the problem with most women (and some beta males) in government. Most women, though not all, are ruled by their emotional side. Most men, but not all, are run by logic and rationality.

It comes from our purposes. Women were created to nurture life, men were created to protect it. That leads to very different modes of operation.

There are outliers, but the world can’t change to accommodate every fringe person. I’m one of those “fringe” people, and I don’t want the world to change for me. But that exactly demonstrates what an outlier I am, that as a woman I don’t expect my feelings to matter.

TheseTruths

I am posting these for future verification of accuracy.

Good. I will see whether “Mr. Pool” goes on my list of non-credible sources. 😊 (He’s halfway there.)

His wording is manipulatively deceptive. We already know about the people facing consequences because of Epstein connections.

THE SPEECH IS A DISTRACTION…

But the real State of the Union is the one you won’t see on TV.

It’s the sound of 17 Deep State empires burning to the ground in 17 days.

No, that isn’t “the real state of the union.” It is one segment of all that is going on. And 17 people (or however many there really are) do not represent 17 empires. Many of those are interconnected. Again, deceptive, persuasive wording.

He inappropriately compares two different circumstances: Epstein fallout, and the SOTU address which happens most years and which will be a presentation of huge accomplishments encompassing the entire scope of American life and our position in the world, plus plans for the future. That is not a distraction, as if all that mattered were “the Epstein network.”

Mr. Pool writes from a conspiracy-centric point of view, catering to those of that mindset. IMO we would do well to not allow our thought process to be manipulated and instead to look at the entire picture, which Pres. Trump will present tonight, and which is not a distraction. Far from it. Also, IMO, to diminish the importance of the bigger picture, and of the SOTU address itself, is to diminish our history and traditions and the work that Pres. Trump and his administration have done in all areas.

The SOTU is Pres. Trump’s opportunity to present his case to the American people, and the media has to cover at least some of it. It is not a time for mayhem or arrests. It is a speech that will have historical significance in its own right.

When Mexican Special Forces took out El Mencho, they didn’t just find guns and drugs. They found a laptop.

On it: a single encrypted file named “CLIENTES.”

Inside: 211 names. The elite clients who ordered children and organs from “The Supplier.”

Hollywood actors. Tech billionaires. Wall Street executives. And 17 sitting members of Congress.

For 48 hours, the Deep State tried to bury it. The CIA tried to claim jurisdiction. The FBI tried to seize the laptop.

They failed.

Trump’s people got to it first. The file is now in the hands of the same military intelligence unit that is preparing for the State of the Union address.

This is the kill shot.

The Epstein files were the blackmail network. The Client List is the customer base.

Arrests are not coming. They have already begun.

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 Tuesday, February 24, 2026

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Acts 20:35 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR ACTS 20:35

Paul’s journeys. (1-6) Eutychus restored to life. (7-12) Paul travels towards Jerusalem. (13-16) Paul’s discourse to the elders of Ephesus. (17-27) Their farewell. (28-38)

28-38 If the Holy Ghost has made ministers overseers of the flock, that is, shepherds, they must be true to their trust. Let them consider their Master’s concern for the flock committed to their charge. It is the church He has purchased with his own blood. The blood was his as Man; yet so close is the union between the Divine and human nature, that it is there called the blood of God, for it was the blood of Him who is God. This put such dignity and worth into it, as to ransom believers from all evil, and purchase all good. Paul spake about their souls with affection and concern. They were full of care what would become of them. Paul directs them to look up to God with faith, and commends them to the word of God’s grace, not only as the foundation of their hope and the fountain of their joy, but as the rule of their walking. The most advanced Christians are capable of growing, and will find the word of grace help their growth. As those cannot be welcome guests to the holy God who are unsanctified; so heaven would be no heaven to them; but to all who are born again, and on whom the image of God is renewed, it is sure, as almighty power and eternal truth make it so. He recommends himself to them as an example of not caring as to things of the present world; this they would find help forward their comfortable passage through it. It might seem a hard saying, therefore Paul adds to it a saying of their Master’s, which he would have them always remember; “It is more blessed to give than to receive:” it seems they were words often used to his disciples. The opinion of the children of this world, is contrary to this; they are afraid of giving, unless in hope of getting. Clear gain, is with them the most blessed thing that can be; but Christ tell us what is more blessed, more excellent. It makes us more like to God, who gives to all, and receives from none; and to the Lord Jesus, who went about doing good. This mind was in Christ Jesus, may it be in us also. It is good for friends, when they part, to part with prayer. Those who exhort and pray for one another, may have many weeping seasons and painful separations, but they will meet before the throne of God, to part no more. It was a comfort to all, that the presence of Christ both went with him and stayed with them.

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.

THE DARK SIDE

Have you been wallowing in self pity
Tempted to give up the nitty gritty
Refusing to take just one step forward
Declining to gaze beyond the shoreward 

What would you accomplish if you laid back
If you cowered afraid to pick up the slack
If for some reason you wanted to die
What would that prove in a blink of the eye

There is a reason why you were left behind
Why you are facing life lost and so blind
God has a plan for your life henceforth
And your compass will always point due north

God knows our beginning and of our end
The time He has allotted here to spend
Apparently the unbeknown to you
Is what you’re doing here and what to do

During your life you experienced much
Not always with a partner was it such
You worked and labored at many a task
Is continuing on too much to ask

If you insist on living in the past
You will miss what God has for you amassed
His ways are not our ways and never will be
If you trust in His wisdom you will see

If you seek you will find the door open
To a place of repose filled with hope in
The person you will find behind the door
Is someone you met long ago afore

If you prayed for someone to ease the pain
Then your healing has begun for to reign
We can’t change the past or know what will be
We have only the present and the key

What is this key to the present we hold
What if anything hidden can be told
This key represents a new day in life
The end to misery and daily strife

It opens whatever door you allow
It brings fresh ideas with it somehow
It provides a sample of what could be
When you ask God for direction you see

If you try to heal wounds without His help
You will be spinning your wheels and whelp
Around and around backward and forward
Upside and down and inside and outward

Where are you going and when will you stop
Driving yourself dizzy till when you just plop
Why do you insist God reverses course
When it is He who wrote chapter and verse

God watches you struggle every day
To change what you cannot to your own way
He gives you clues as to what you must do
But you refuse to listen and heed too

In your frustration you turn to the drink
Maybe just maybe you will cease to think
You have tried it before what did it do
Did the Dark Side solve your problem for you

The solution to your problem is clear
Listen to His voice and you will soon hear
What He wants you to know and you must do

Bipolar. Suicide.

Actor Robert Carradine, well known for films like “Revenge of the Nerds and “The Long Riders” has died at the age of 71, according to a family statement.  

The youngest in a family filled with famous actors, his older brother, Keith Carradine, called Robert “the bedrock of his family,” Deadline reported.  

The 71-year-old, according to family, battled bipolar disorder for some 20 years before losing his life to the condition.  

“In a world that can feel so dark, Bobby was always a beacon on light to everyone around him. We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with Bipolar Disorder,” the family said in a statement to the entertainment outlet.

This NYPD officer arrested illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra for child endangerment.
New York Democrats refused to turn him over to ICE and released him. He never showed up for court.
The Biden administration then paid for him & his illegal immigrant friends to fly to Georgia as part of a taxpayer-funded internal movement program disclosed at his trial.
In Georgia, he murdered Laken Riley when she fought his rape attempts.
The Democrats let Riley’s murderer into the country, released him back onto the streets after his first arrest despite an ICE request to pick him up, helped him evade his court date and finally flew him to his victim at taxpayer expense to commit his crime.
Democrat policies killed Laken Riley. Please don’t ever give them power again.

If you are driving and come upon a downed power line:

• Stay in your vehicle.

Warn others to stay away.

Contact emergency personnel or the electric utility.

Never drive over a downed line. It could cause poles or other equipment to come crashing down.

If you are in a car that has come in contact with a downed power line, stay in your vehicle. Wait until the utility has arrived and de-energized the line. Warn others not to approach the car. If you must leave your car, only in the case of fire, jump free from the car and hop away from it with both feet together.

Interested persons, please download the Cosgrove, Hulscher, McCullough, et al., paper which proves that the risk of death from measles is over 2,000% higher since 1995 after “vaccination” with the MMR / MMRV injectables — based on the CDC’s own data.

ResearchGate has just DELETED the paper.
It’s still available on the Zenodo preprint server — but, IMO, it may well also be deleted within the next 48 – 72 hours.
There are other shenanigans going on, also — for example, Zenodo shows “0” downloads, except that the paper has apparently been viewed thousands of times.

Link to the paper on Zenodo is in The Focal Points post of a few minutes ago, by Nicolas Hulscher:

Of course big farma would fear being sued for damages, some financial loss if people quit using the shots. But its not like its the only product they make. They make a LOT of other drugs. You would think it would be a great opportunity to regain some trust, to be responsible and show they really care by doing more research, separating out measles vax from MMR (uncombining them), announcing they should be given separately with X amount of time in between, or something! Is it simply a matter that it’s easier to censor and double down than to make any changes?? Or is there more to it??

BREAKING: Judge Denies Tyler Robinson’s Request to Disqualify Utah Prosecutors from Kirk Murder Case

Judge Tony Graf on Tuesday denied Tyler Robinson’s request to disqualify Utah prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk murder case.

Last month Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson sought to disqualify Utah prosecutors on the case over a conflict of interest.

Robinson fatally shot TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025 during an event at Utah Valley University.

A child of one of the Utah County Attorney’s Office prosecutors was 85 feet away from Charlie Kirk and police rushed in to protect her.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)

– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury

– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm

– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting

– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages

– Count 6: Witness tampering for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police

– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Utah prosecutors are also seeking the death penalty.

Robinson, 22, has three public defenders: Kathy Nester, Michael Burt, and Richard Novak.

On Tuesday, Judge Graf denied Robinson’s motion to disqualify the Utah County prosecutors office.

“Because the defendant has not established a factual basis for a finding of a conflict of interest or an objective appearance of impropriety rising to a constitutional concern, his motion is respectfully denied,” Judge Graf said.

Following a Court Ruling, The Government of Panama Has Taken Back Control Over Both Entrances to the Panama Canal – Cancelled Chinese Contracts
February 24, 2026 

SD: “The highest court in Panama has nulled the ‘Chinese’ contract for the operation of both entrance ports on the Panama Canal. The Panamanian government took back control and assigned operations to APM Terminals, a subsidiary of the Danish group A.P. Moller-Maersk.

comment image
.

The state takeover comes after a 14-month long saga begun by President Trump who reasserted American interests in the hemisphere and rejected the concept of allowing China to have strategic control over such vital North American infrastructure.

President Trump did not mince words in December of 2024 when he said“[The Panama Canal] was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama,” Trump concluded. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question.”  Marco Rubio was then dispatched as an intermediary in Feb 2025.

Then, last month, Panama’s Supreme Court struck down the law approving the concession contract for Panama Ports Company, a subsidiary of CK Hutchison (China/Hong Kong). The court ruling also invalidated an extension granted in 2021, stripping the port operations of any current legal standing. Now, Panama has taken over.
(MSM) – The government of Panama has seized control of two ports on either end of the Panama Canal from a Hong Kong conglomerate following a recent ruling by the country’s Supreme Court.

Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison said on Tuesday that Panama’s government had “made direct physical entry into the terminals at Balboa and Cristobal” and assumed “administrative and operational control” over the two ports on the Panama Canal.”

Once again proving that rule of law (international and otherwise) is truly just a fiction, a tool to give the veneer of legitimacy to whomever is in power.

Contracts? What contracts?

Ultimately, might makes right.

Always has, always will.

From the local street corner to the highest offices in the world.

Panama can’t go to war with the United States, so given the choice between the U.S. taking control of the canal, or canceling chyna and taking control of the canal themselves, they chose to take control of the canal themselves.

Candace Owens has produced a film about Erika Kirk called “Bride of Charlie.” (Sounds like “Bride of Frankenstein.” IMO the name was chosen for the worst possible connotation.)

The 💩 has hit the (electric) 🪭 , and the internet is exploding with conservatives pointing the finger at those who refuse to call Candace out.

Some headlines from Conservative Free Press:

This story started everything regarding Candace Owens.Things turned very very ugly today after Candace promoted a new film about Erika Kirk.Dan Bongino declares war on Candace Owens.
I see Candace as someone who has to be the most special one to Charlie, over the wife he chose. I don’t know if she also thought she should have a role in TPUSA after his death, or what. But I think she’s some flavor of psycho.
