Dear MAGA: 20260423 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


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

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


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

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

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

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

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

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

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

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


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

“BREAKING: The IRGC warns of cutting the seven submarine internet cables that pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which would trigger a “digital catastrophe” for Gulf states that depend on them for over 90% of their internet, banking, and cloud services, per Tasnim.”

These people are religious fanatic terrorists. They TRULY BELIEVE they are doing all the other muslims a FAVOR by ushering in the end of the world, so the “12th Iman” can show up.

These people CAN NOT be negotiated with. That is a stupid idea, and I can’t for the life of me understand why Trump is pretending it can be done. Because I utterly refuse to believe he thinks it can.

Every day that we give them, they are using to figure out new ways to continue their reign of terror over there. Today, it’s cables. Tomorrow? Well, who knows?

TheseTruths

I can’t for the life of me understand why Trump is pretending it can be done. Because I utterly refuse to believe he thinks it can.

If he did what really needs to be done all at once it would come back to bite him. The media would throw a fit and those who don’t understand (which includes all of us to some degree, but especially those who don’t see the deeper picture) would turn on him. Also, he is using this timing to negotiate with other countries to further his goals. It’s almost never about just what we see on the surface. As it is, the timeline shows that he gave them every opportunity to make deals and stop the destruction. That’s usually how he operates.

As I showed yesterday and Promethean Action have shown, the REAL enemy is Britain/City of London. (MI6 groomed the Mullah while he was in Paris and the UK was the origin of the Muslim Brotherhood.)

If you adjust your thinking to include the REAL enemy, taking over Venezuala and then keeping the strait closed means both the EU and China are starved of oil/LNG. These are POTUS Trumps actual targets, our REAL enemy.

Remember after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, Russia put lots of full oil tankers out to sea. Bessent then lifted the sanctions on those tankers.😂

I doubt that they can actually put vehicles deep enough to work on these cables — not that there aren’t a whole lot of ships down there, but their crews aren’t as effective as they once were.

scott467

Those cables have to come up out of the sea somewhere in Iran. Guessing pretty close to the beach.

If I was the islamo-fascists, I’d probably start cutting the cables there. Wouldn’t even have to get their sandals wet.

Unless America blew up their overland Internet connection that goes through Turkey.

Then the islamo-fascists would have to do some hard thinking about whether to cut the cables going through the Hormuz, and in the process, cutting themselves off from the Internet for the remainder of the war.

Which would also give DJT one more leverageable choke point.

Say ‘how high’ when I say jump, or we’ll blow up your only remaining connection to the Internet 😁

cthulhu

A lot of those cables might go between, say, UAE and India. There’s no reason to surface in Iran or Pakistan.

scott467

You are correct:

Brave AI:
Overview of Undersea Cables in the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint, not only for oil and gas shipments but also for undersea internet cables that carry vast amounts of international data traffic. 

These submarine fibre-optic cables lie on the seafloor and connect regions including the Gulf countries, Asia, Europe, and Africa. 

While the strait itself is a narrow and shallow passage — as shallow as 200 feet — the cables passing through it generally remain submerged and do not “come up to the surface” within Iranian territorial waters in an operational or accessible way.

Cable Landing Points Near the Strait
Undersea cables must make landfall at designated cable landing stations to connect to terrestrial networks. 

 These stations are heavily secured and typically located in coastal facilities equipped with repeater power feeding and network infrastructure.

In the Persian Gulf, most major cables avoid landing in Iran due to geopolitical tensions and regulatory challenges. 

 Instead, they are routed through and land in neighboring countries such as:

• Oman (especially on the eastern side of the Strait)

• United Arab Emirates (e.g., Fujairah)

• Saudi Arabia

• Bahrain

• Qatar

Do Cables Land in Iran?
There is no public evidence that major international undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz make landfall in Iran. 
 
According to analyses from TeleGeography and reports from Rest of World and India Today, cables are deliberately laid through Omani territorial waters to bypass Iran entirely. 

This routing decision stems from long-standing concerns about regional instability, access restrictions, and security risks. 

 As a result, Iran is not a hub for international cable systems, and no major global cables surface within Iran along the Hormuz route. 

While Iran has its own domestic and international cable connections (e.g., to India or via the Caspian Sea), these do not involve the primary cables transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Key Cable Systems in the Region
Several major submarine cable systems traverse or near the Strait of Hormuz, including:

• AAE-1 (Asia-Africa-Europe)

• FALCON (Fiber-Optic Link Around the Clock)

• Gulf Bridge International (GBI)

• Tata-TGN Gulf (TGN-Gulf)

• SEA-ME-WE (South East Asia–Middle East–Western Europe) 

These systems are vital for data connectivity in Gulf countries, supporting banking, cloud services, AI infrastructure, and communications. 

 However, they do not surface in Iran — they are designed to bypass it.

Geopolitical Risks and Infrastructure Vulnerability
Although the cables do not land in Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued warnings about potentially targeting undersea infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. 

 This raises concerns about sabotage, even if cables do not physically come ashore in Iran. 

The shallow depth of the strait makes cables more vulnerable to damage from anchors, mines, or deliberate cutting. 

 Repair operations are also hampered during military conflicts, as specialized ships cannot safely operate in hostile waters. 

Despite redundancy in global networks, simultaneous disruptions in both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea could lead to significant delays and rerouting of data traffic, affecting internet speeds and reliability across Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Conclusion
No, the undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz do not come up to the surface in Iran. 

 They are intentionally routed through Omani and UAE waters and land in neighboring Gulf countries to avoid Iranian jurisdiction and security risks. 

 While Iran has the potential to disrupt these cables due to its naval presence, the cables themselves do not make landfall or surface within Iran. 

This strategic bypass ensures that global data traffic remains resilient — though not immune — to regional conflicts.

.
.

Me: So how would the IRGC cut the cables as they have threatened to do? Do they have submersibles capable of severing cables on the sea floor at 200 foot depth?

Brave AI: Yes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has the capability to cut undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz, even at depths of around 200 feet (60 meters). 

According to multiple reports, the IRGC Navy possesses:

Ghadir-class midget submarines, which are small, stealthy, and capable of operating in shallow waters.

Combat diver units trained for underwater sabotage. 

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or underwater drones that can locate and sever cables. 

These assets enable Iran to conduct underwater interdiction operations against cables lying on the seafloor. 

 The shallow depth of the Strait of Hormuz makes cables particularly accessible compared to deeper ocean routes. 

While no confirmed cable cuts have occurred as of April 23, 2026, the IRGC has issued explicit threats, and companies like Alcatel Submarine Networks have declared force majeure, halting repair operations due to the conflict. 

 This means any severed cable would remain unrepaired for the duration of hostilities — potentially months.

.
.

Me: Are these IRGC assets part of the Gay Ayatollah Brigade?

Brave: No, the Gay Ayatollah Brigade is not a real military unit. 
 
It does not exist as part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) or any other official Iranian military structure.

Iran has been a pariah for ~47 years. Running an undersea cable ashore in Iran, would have been monumentally ignorant.

Still was worth verifying, it didn’t happen.

There may be mines in the strait, but there are no diamonds in the mine… 😁

“Iran relies on these cables for less than 40% of its internet, with the rest routed overland through Turkey. Gulf states have no comparable backup. IRGC described the cables as “strategic pressure points” alongside ports, shipping lanes, and energy facilities.”

_______________

Then it seems like a well-placed missile to deactivate the ‘overland’ Internet connection through Turkey would make the islamo-fascists 100% dependent on the undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz.

Thereby making the islamo-fascists much less likely to cut those undersea cables.

It’s like playing wack-a-mole where all the holes are plugged but one.

Good point.

cthulhu

A lot of those undersea “cables” are actually fiberoptic.They can carry fantastic amounts of data through what is known as “Wave Division Multiplexing”.

If you look at the cover of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” album, there is a prism breaking down a beam of white light into colors.

comment image

Now just imagine if a separate transmitter was running red, then orange, then yellow, green and blue. You could be running five different channels of information in that single white line by combining them through a prism. At the other end, you could use a similar prism to take them back apart.

Mind you, the actual “colors” used in WDM on fiber lines are all invisible to the human eye, but the principle is much the same. Standard fiber has optical windows at about 1310 nm and 1550 nm where red is roughly 700 nm and blue is about 475 nm.

We were doing almost 100% single-mode fiber gizmos.

Further, we were an industry leader in developing Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) for cable TV.

In an EDFA, you splice a length of fiber, pulled with erbium thoughout its length, into your normal fiber and also couple-in “pump lasers”, typically at 980 nm. Once you’ve jazzed enough erbiums, a photon entering one side can trigger the erbiums to release more photons, thus amplifying the light without detecting it, changing to electronics, amplifying the signal, and sending it through a laser to make it back into light.

https://www.rp-photonics.com/img/fiber_amplifier.webp

cthulhu

Incidentally, there are a number of parameters to making one of these. For example, you want the doped fiber to be long enough to contain sufficient erbiums but short enough to not present timing/dispersion effects in the doped segment.

We even considered doing an “EDSA” — Erbium Doped Slab Ampifier — where we’d fan the input across a block of glass and then collect it back into an output fiber.

TheseTruths

The “color” video was interesting, but I was only able to see the orange one, which was a very intense orange!

I could also see the last one, but only momentarily before it turned to black. The second one only gave me a white screen.

I only saw a white screen on the second one, too, and a black screen on the last one.

Following that thought, I think.

Lol, you see what I saw.

And I have the “after-image” thing, too, which is why I HATE the black-screen/white-letter tweets here sometimes. Often, that after-image thing triggers an aura migraine for me.

I have to protect myself from weird lighting, bright sun, and screens. Sigh…

Aubergine

I could see them all. But I have strange vision, anyway. I think it’s part of why I’m an artist.

I think it’s possible I have tetrachromacy. I appear to see colors others don’t see all the time, like when people see “white” and I see color in the whites.

People with tetrachromacy have a fourth cone cell in their retinas, allowing them to perceive up to 100 million colors—100 times more than the average human. This rare, primarily female-only genetic condition, often linked to an X chromosome mutation, creates heightened sensitivity to orange, yellow, and green shades. 

Key Aspects of Tetrachromacy

  • Super Vision: Tetrachromats possess four types of cone cells, whereas most people have three (trichromacy).
  • Enhanced Color Detection: They can distinguish between colors that appear identical to others, often seeing, for example, multiple shades of white within what appears to be a plain white object.
  • Prevalence: It is believed that up to 12% of women worldwide may possess this, though it is difficult to diagnose and not all develop the full heightened perception.
  • Characteristics: These individuals often perceive greater vibrancy in the world, with enhanced vision in dim light, and may excel in professions involving color, such as art, as noted by.
  • Causes: The condition is tied to a mutation on the X chromosome, which can cause color blindness in some (often male) individuals, but leads to the extra cone in certain females. 
  • While some researchers argue that having a fourth cone does not automatically mean a person sees more colors, many tetrachromats, such as artist Concetta Antico, report seeing profound, vibrant hues in daily life.
Cuppa Covfefe

IIRC, it’s not uncommon for tetrachromats to have a parent who is colorblind!

That’s funny.

Check out the company Greenberg Carville Shrum and their love of globalization. It is interesting Greenberg-Quinlan Research Inc is mention as her husband’s place of work in Delauro’s bio. Sweet, fluffy Greenberg-Quinlan Research Inc with the connections to foster care and schools, but there is no mention of Greenberg Carville Shrum who directed Campaigns in 60 countries (including Tony Blair in the UK) and was responsible for the Bolivia fiasco.

UNHINGED: Purple-Haired Radical Rosa DeLauro Has Total MELTDOWN Over Raw Milk
Far-left Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), the same purple-haired radical we’ve repeatedly exposed for her unhinged public meltdowns, completely lost it Thursday during a House hearing while grilling HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over Americans’ right to drink raw milk…

This is the same Rosa DeLauro whom The Gateway Pundit previously reported on when RFK Jr. absolutely buried the purple-haired Democrat back in May 2025 during his first major HHS hearing. She tried to lecture him then too, and got completely owned.
The radical left, Big Pharma, and the corporate food cartel hate raw milk because it represents everything they despise: freedom, tradition, local farms, and real nutrition that doesn’t come in a plastic-wrapped, government-approved package.
RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again movement are finally giving Americans the truth they’ve been denied for generations, and the DeLauros of the world are losing their minds.

Top Democrat

As Chair and Ranking Member, Rosa directed roughly $1.4 trillion in annual spending that Congress doles out to build a more equitable country. She shifted federal spending priorities away from support for billionaires and corporations to programs to support hardworking Americans and communities and help them address the rising cost of living – investing in education and health care, addressing the climate crisis, and keeping our communities safe. She brought home over $70 million to Connecticut’s Third Congressional District for local projects since 2021- $16 million in 2024 alone.

Rosa also served in the Democratic leadership as Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. Rosa was charged with overseeing what she considers the core responsibilities of our federal government, and saw Appropriations as the center of that activity.

BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan FIRED
Does anyone know why he was fired?

kalbokalbs

Grok

Multiple news outlets, citing sources familiar with the matter (including anonymous Pentagon and administration officials), report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired (or forced the resignation of) Phelan following months of infighting and policy clashes at the Pentagon. Key reported reasons include:

  • Slow progress on shipbuilding reforms — Phelan was criticized for not moving quickly enough to implement President Trump’s priorities for reviving and accelerating U.S. Navy shipbuilding (often referred to as aspects of the “Golden Fleet” initiative). Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Stephen Feinberg reportedly felt he was dragging his feet on reforms aimed at faster production.
  • Disagreements over specific programs — Tension arose over Phelan’s support for a costly new “Trump Class” battleship concept, which clashed with broader Pentagon leadership preferences for shifting toward smaller, cheaper, uncrewed vessels rather than massive, expensive manned ships.
  • Personal and bureaucratic friction — Sources described ongoing clashes with Hegseth, Feinberg, and others. Phelan’s direct access to and communication with President Trump reportedly irritated Hegseth, who saw it as bypassing the chain of command. There were also reports of broader infighting and, in one account, an ethics investigation into his office.

The firing occurred amid active U.S. Navy operations, including a blockade of Iranian ports and actions in the Strait of Hormuz during the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and a fragile ceasefire—adding to perceptions of instability in Pentagon leadership during wartime. Phelan’s exit is part of a pattern of high-level defense departures and shakeups under Hegseth in Trump’s second term.

Note that the official Pentagon statement framed it neutrally as Phelan “departing the administration,” but widespread reporting from outlets like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Reuters, and others consistently describes it as a firing driven by the above issues. No single “smoking gun” reason has been publicly confirmed by the administration itself.

TheseTruths

Thank you!

patfrederick

just someone’s opinion at tcth:

Sunriver Patriot
April 23, 2026 12:58 am

The firing of Secretary of the Navy John Phelan earlier today was a sudden move by the Pentagon that appears to be the result of mounting internal friction and a specific strategic disagreement.

​While the official statement from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell thanked Phelan for his service, several key factors behind his “immediate” departure have surfaced:
​Shipbuilding Controversy: The most immediate trigger appears to be a “blunder” during a speech yesterday where Phelan signaled openness to outsourcing the production of U.S. Navy warships abroad.

This stance reportedly caused significant political blowback and was viewed as a strategic error by the administration.
​Tensions with Defense Secretary Hegseth: Reports indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was frustrated with Phelan for moving too slowly on domestic shipbuilding reforms.

​Chain of Command Issues: Sources suggest Hegseth was irked by Phelan’s direct communication with the White House, which was viewed as an attempt to bypass the Secretary of Defense’s authority.
​Pentagon Reorganization: This ouster follows a string of leadership changes, including the recent removal of the Army Chief of Staff and the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the administration continues a broader reorganization of the Pentagon.

​The timing is particularly notable as the Navy is currently leading a blockade of Iranian ports during a fragile ceasefire. Undersecretary Hung Cao has been named the Acting Secretary of the Navy to fill the vacancy.

TradeBait2

Just another ‘thought he was a bigger deal that he was’ mini-personal kingdom builder. Obviously did not understand or care who was CIC and what Trump Time meant. Thought he irreplaceable, or, wanted to be fired by obstructing.

That was a major problem in #45’s term. He did not jettison the old guard, he embraced them until well after they undermined him.

pgroup2

Your closing paragraph is perfect.

kalbokalbs

Outsourcing Navy shipbuilding abroad 100% warrants immediate firing. Goes against Trump policy on a number of areas.

The Navy shipbuilding has been on a broken tangent for a long time.

  • LCS Littoral Combat Ship is totally a broken concept. Should have never been built and should have been scraped yesterday.
  • Single mission ship, depending on which of three, “modular systems” is loaded onboard. Takes days to position and swap out mission packages. Stoopid on steroids. Overseas requires permissive environment, airfield to receive equipment and large laydown area to position / load/unload.
  • Navy hung entire MCM mine countermeasure mission on the LCS platform. Ignorance.

Trump and Hegseth prolly can’t believe the debacle they’ve received in the LCS AND MCM realm.

I’d expect more Navy heads to roll. Hope so anyway.

Navy ‘going to study’ possibility of building ships outside US, Phelan says
April 21, 2026

From Yandex AI includes references as numbers unlike Brave AI

Navy Secretary John Phelan has announced several initiatives related to shipbuilding outsourcing:

  • Outsourcing of ship construction to foreign partners. Phelan mentioned that the Navy is considering utilizing foreign partners to manufacture the nation’s warships to address the labor capacity issue at home. 3
  • Distributed shipbuilding model. The Navy and shipbuilders are exploring a model where work is distributed across complementary facilities to increase throughput and reduce schedule risks. 1
  • Investment in AI and autonomy technologies. The Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS) is being developed to streamline production, reduce costs, and enhance the Navy’s ability to build ships faster and more efficiently. This initiative involves aggregating data from various sources to identify bottlenecks and streamline engineering workflows. 245

REPORT: Thousands of People in California Are Finally Getting Permits to Rebuild After the Wildfires – Now That Trump Has Gotten Involved
From the New York Post:

Trump’s [Executive] order let state and local rules be preempted when it came to obtaining permits and allowed builders to “self-certify” that they have complied with “substantive health, safety and building standards.”

The result of the administration’s takeover was the approval of thousands of permits for people to begin the rebuilding process of homes and businesses ravaged by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive blazes in LA history.

“President Trump’s January Executive Order was a bold move to break through the non-federal logjams that had held up lives, homes, and entire neighborhoods from being rebuilt. Since that EO, we’ve helped drive nearly 2,000 permit approvals,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told The Post.

There’s one going around about various singers, saying that they have voiced the opinion that children should be raised naturally (i.e., not indoctrinated with LGBQ+ propaganda), and that leftists are boycotting their music because of it. Why someone would go to the trouble to invent such stories is beyond me. They’re just liars.

And just like that, Robert Plant concerts became a much better and more enjoyable experience, in the absence of any alphabet lunatics.

Hopefully other musicians will make similar statements to spark LMNOP boycotts.

Theme parks could do it too.

And schools.

I thought the same thing, but unfortunately, it’s fake. Someone is circulating this kind of rumor about various singers.

Sounds like it means the federal government is prohibited from sponsoring or employing Americans, and can only sponsor or employ immigrant workers.

Nonimmigrant | USCIS

An alien who is admitted to the United States for a specific temporary period of time. There are clear conditions on their stay. There are a large variety of nonimmigrant categories, and each exists for a specific purpose and has specific terms and conditions. Most nonimmigrants can be accompanied or joined by spouses and unmarried minor (or dependent) children.

Nonimmigrant classifications include:

— Foreign government officials;

Visitors for business or pleasure;

Aliens in transit through the United States;

Treaty traders and investors;

Students;

International representatives;

Temporary workers and trainees;

Representatives of foreign information media;

Exchange visitors;

Fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens;

Intracompany transferees;

This thread by Data Republican contains screenshots that I have omitted to save space.

I had forgotten some details about Unite the Right. Wiki says:

The Unite the Right rally was a white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, from August 11 to 12, 2017. Marchers included members of the alt-rightneo-Confederatesneo-fascistswhite nationalistswhite supremacistsneo-NazisKlansmen, and far-right militias. The organizers’ stated goals included the unification of the American white nationalist movement and opposing the proposed removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee from Charlottesville’s former Lee Park

The rally turned violent after protesters clashed with counter-protesters, resulting in more than 30 injured. In the afternoon of August 12, self-identified white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) away from the rally site, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 35 people.

Data Republican:

THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus “democracy” ecosystem

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here’s what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right

• That informant “helped coordinate transportation” to the rally… at SPLC’s direction

• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator

• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car

• The indictment says postings were made “under the supervision of the SPLC”

• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine

• SPLC installed itself as that machine’s definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC’s informant. 

But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:

• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right

• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC’s direction)

• Made racist postings (under SPLC’s supervision)

• Helped coordinate transportation for attendees

Now here’s why this matters beyond the fraud charges.

Charlottesville became the single most consequential founding event in modern American political infrastructure. Every one of these organizations says… in their own words…. that they exist or were transformed because of August 12, 2017.

Stand Together (Koch network):

“August 12, 2017 was a tipping point.”

Koch. Soros. Ford. ADL. In one coalition. Because of Charlottesville.

ADL founded “Communities Overcoming Extremism: The After Charlottesville Project.” Literally named after the event.

Listen First Project: “The tragic events in Charlottesville, VA compelled Pearce to leave his marketing job and invest full time.”

First event? “Listen First in Charlottesville.” 

Integrity First for America. Founded 2017. Single purpose: sue the Unite the Right organizers. Backed at founding by LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman ($1M+). Won. Wound down. One event. One lawsuit. One entire organization.

UVA Democracy Initiative (now Karsh Institute). $12.9M from 17 donors. “Direct response to the white supremacist attacks in Charlottesville.”

All of that traces back to one event. Then in September 2022, Biden held the “United We Stand” summit. Merrick Garland launched “United Against Hate” the same day.

Three days before the summit, SPLC wrote a letter to Susan Rice asking to “define the terms and goals of our continued collaboration.”

And the ecosystem listened.

National Civic League webinar: “Mapping America’s Healthy Democracy Ecosystem.” Over 10,000 organizations cataloged. An audience member asks how they decide who gets excluded.

Listen to the answer. Spoiler: it’s SPLC.

The org that defined who was a hate group asked the White House to make that role permanent.

The org that set the standards the entire ecosystem adopted is now charged with paying the people it was tracking.

The org whose informant was allegedly in the planning chat for the event that justified building the machine raised $132 million in the fiscal year that included Charlottesville. We need to ask… 

If the organization at the center of America’s entire post-Charlottesville “democracy” infrastructure had a supervised informant (or worse, agent provocateur) inside the event that justified building that infrastructure… 

… what does that make the infrastructure?

Good point at which to interject.

The flaws in our Constitution, government operations, and laws; some of which are illegal themselves, continue to be exposed. It is a wonderful exercise that can lead to reforms if and when we take super majority control of the three branches of government. It can be fixed and a lot of mess can be cleaned up to the collective satisfaction of We the People.

The evidence is in the states that have MAGA control in their three branches. They lead the nation in many important and beneficial to society categories. Which is why their populations are increasing, their taxation is declining, their quality of life is far better, etc.

Which tells We the People that we have work to do in the areas of the country that do not have that advantage and must do whatever it takes to secure the election system as well as to educate our fellow, not so bright, citizens (sheeple) on how they are being screwed by the leftist Dems and RINO’s they vote for every election.

And so, where should the ‘reparations’ go?

There is *massive* slavery, children especially, RIGHT NOW!

Contrast that with a 175-year lag for those focused on current ‘reparations,’ even though only 1.4% of Americans actually *owned* slaves, and not a few slave-owners were Black.

This specious guilt-trip is a canard! It’s the height of hypocracy to try to redress the Civil (sic) War slavery from seven or more generations ago, when RIGHT NOW the slavery is the #1 money-maker on Earth!

They owe US! And it is *we* who are addressing the CURRENT situation (with essential help from VSGPDJT) by highlighting what the cabal is all about!

DEFCON ZERQ Ep. 040: Rep. Tim Burchett on UFOs, DNA Harvesting & AI Wars
Interview starts at: 1145

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid sit down with Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee for a conversation that was supposed to be fifteen minutes and turned into forty five. Nobody complained. The trio covers the congressman’s long standing push for UAP transparency, the skiffs where officials get shown things specifically so they cannot discuss them, and why Burchett believes the real issue is not little green men but where all those tax dollars are actually going.

From there the conversation widens into DNA data mining, Jeffrey Epstein’s two genetic research companies, allegations of genetic alteration programs inside the federal government, and the Smith Mundt Modernization Act that quietly made domestic propaganda legal. Burchett also weighs in on AI regulation by people who still drive AMC Gremlins, accountability for deep state actors, and the mentality of skipping elections that he says leads straight to totalitarian rule.

After the interview Alpha and Josh debrief, unpack the Epstein DNA angle in detail, analyze the US and China AI race, and break down the Brennan grand jury subpoena withdrawal and what it likely means.

Alarm over popular new coffee chain invading the US… as experts warn of chilling secret behind its $1.99 brew
One of the world’s fastest-growing businesses could potentially send Americans’ private data to a government described as the greatest threat to US national security. 
Luckin Coffee has surged to rival brewing giant Starbucks, opening more than 30,000 stores worldwide since 2017.
The vast majority are in its home country of China, but the brand has now opened 11 locations in New York City in a matter of months.
However, it is now raising eyebrows over its strict payment policy.
Even though a cup of coffee in US shops costs as little as $1.99, the chain does not accept cash and prides itself on not having any cashiers.
This means that the only way to get coffee is to download Luckin’s app, set up an account and pay digitally. 
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned that American consumers are in danger of being spied on by a government deemed actively hostile to the US, citing that Chinese law specifically states that companies like Luckin must hand over their data whenever they are requested to.

Text contains those laws in effect on April 22, 2026

From Title 31-MONEY AND FINANCE

SUBTITLE IV-MONEY

CHAPTER 51-COINS AND CURRENCY

SUBCHAPTER I-MONETARY SYSTEM

§5103. Legal tender

United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.

( Pub. L. 97–258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 980 Pub. L. 97–452, §1(19), Jan. 12, 1983, 96 Stat. 2477 .)

The site includes the history of the law.

The words “All . . . regardless of when coined or issued” are omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement. The word “debts” is substituted for “debts, public and private” to eliminate unnecessary words. The words “public charges, taxes, duties, and dues” are omitted as included in “debts”.

1983 Act

This restores to 31:5103 the reference to public charges, taxes, and dues because they are not considered to be debts. See, Hagar v. Reclamation District No. 108, 111 U.S. 701, 706 (1884).

Hospitals to begin monitoring your credit card purchases to flag ‘unhealthy’ habits

What you buy at the grocery store, where you live, and even your membership status at the local gym are all subject to a new data collection scheme by the American medical system. Reports indicate that hospitals and doctors’ offices all across the country are now collecting this and other personal information in order to target individuals deemed to have “unhealthy” lifestyle habits that put them at high risk of disease.

Bloomberg reports that hospital systems in both North and South Carolina as well as Pennsylvania have already begun tracking people’s food-purchasing habits by spying on them through public records and credit card transactions. Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which operates some 900 care centers throughout the Carolinas, has teamed up with a data-mining company to compile and track this information for the later purpose of calling “high-risk” folks and urging them to make a change.

“What we are looking to find are people before they end up in trouble,” stated Michael Dulin, chief clinical officer for analytics and outcomes at CHS, to Bloomberg. “The idea is to use big data and predictive models to think about population health and drill down to the individual levels to find someone running into trouble that we can reach out to and try to help out.”….

They recommended “coaching or counseling sessions,” “peer-based social support.”

I WILL not deal with any company that does not accept cash.

I won’t be coerced into downloading and using an app, either.

Gail Combs

App?? What is that?   :insane: 

Sir ES

Same here.

The public transportation offered an ‘app’ ostensibly for commuter convenience.

I tried it once (without committing) by asking when the next bus(ses) would arrive on the route stop, so that I could budget my time, whether earlier or later.

The response was, in effect, “Where are you now?”

Only when the MBTA got the data in re where I was, or would (maybe) be, at the bus stop I asked about, could I get the schedule.

No scheduled data, nor connections, were available. To get ANY info, the MBTA ‘app’ required ones location.

I’m simply NOT interested in having a barrier to be able to coordinate MY schedules, and I refused to let them know / interpolate where exactly I was.

“Provide your data! Only THEN can you access our schedule!”

Commie sh*t.

I never used their “app” for transportation help. Serve the MBTA first! You’re last! Pfft!

Masshole Commie BS. The reputation of MA continues to substantiate their Commie ways…

These people can’t even DRIVE…

I hope to be leaving MA at “the appropriate” time.

IMO, the prevailing credo equates positive (good) with negative (evil).

It just isn’t right, nor true.

I actively distrust their ENTIRE philosophy [sic] based on ying-yang duality.

In other words, evil and good are, for them, practically the same.

Ignorance.

That’s why, without true DIRECTION, they will become subordinate. NO ETHICS.

Farm Girl Carrie https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f469-200d-1f33e.svg
@FarmGirlCarrie
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. 

On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn’t arm the missile. The helicopter didn’t explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in  

Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a “do-or-die” mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. 

So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”  

Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. 

Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.

Gail Combs

I remember a comment at either WUWT, ChiefIO or most likely Tony Heller’s by a military guy who was in Afghanistan at the time. He accused Hitlery of supplying the Stinger Missiles via Benghazi that suddenly started appearing in Afghanistan.

I did not save the comment at the time and could never find it again.

So now the story comes out again with LOTS OF MEAT on it’s bones.

Libya was one of the very few countries (12 or so) that did NOT have a ‘Central Bank’ (Rothschild’s), so Quaddafi wasn’t beholden to them.

James E. Thorne
@DrJStrategy
Food for thought. 

Repost from late last year, now squarely in play as Warsh hearings begin.

The signal is clear: a potential regime shift at the Fed, away from Keynesian demand management and toward a supply‑side framework anchored in productivity. The Warsh–Druckenmiller–Bessent axis is not theoretical, it is operational. Their shared critique of QE‑era policy is that it inflated assets while suppressing real capital formation. The proposed pivot is equally clear: restore incentives for investment, reprice capital properly, and let growth come from production, not policy distortion. Yes a regime change.

Crucially, this does not require tighter policy in the traditional sense. If AI-driven productivity accelerates, the Fed gains room to normalize its balance sheet while still cutting rates, an outcome that would have seemed contradictory under the old framework. In a supply‑side regime, lower rates are not about stimulating demand but about enabling efficient capital allocation into energy, infrastructure, and technology.

Warsh at the helm would institutionalize that shift: a narrower mandate, reduced reliance on balance sheet activism, and a policy mix aligned with fiscal and industrial strategy rather than working at cross‑purposes. Bessent sets the rules, private capital executes, and Druckenmiller’s influence bridges market discipline with policy intent.
This is not just a personnel change. It is a change in doctrine. Read the room.

Gail Combs

I very much doubt Warsh will be confirmed unless Trump has blackmail on a lot of senators.

patfrederick

who knows what was in those burn bags at the fib…

Gail Combs

Skuttlebutt from Badlands is General Flynn has an office in DC. The burn bags were ‘found’ right after he talked to someone in the FBI. Another interesting find was also made the day after a Flynn visit.

IIRC, they had actual tweets from Flynn about his visits the day before the ‘finds’

Interesting way to make information admissible in court. Information from the military (Intel) IS NOT BTW.

The Maduro Files should be a powerful Trump Card, and I hope that Iran’s Isfalah (sp?) has (underground) corroborative receipts / digital evidence.

California takes “students of color” on expensive cross country field trip–excludes the white students. Taxpayer funded to the tune of $40,000.
article

California, ever the contradictory hellhole, is blazing the progressive trail regressively backward. But in a way that only California can do, not only have they modernized “racism,” they’ve modernized it in a way that’s actually worse for their preferred class than it ever was before! (I’ll get to this point shortly.)

Yesterday Steve Watson at Modernity News reported that Albany United School District, which is in the Oakland area, recently took a bunch of high school students on a very spendy and very exclusive “social justice” field trip across the country—so exclusive in fact that the white kids were barred from joining in, as this was only for “young men and women of color.”

What does it even mean to be “of color”? Of course we all know that it means black and brown people, but ironically, “white” people offer the most color in terms of physical attributes, with all different hair and eye colors. On the other hand, essentially all black and brown people have black and brown hair, and brown eyes. Are we whites still not on the spectrum of color? As a “white” person, I’m not actually the color of a piece of paper—my skin is naturally a light tan, my hair a dark blonde, and my eyes green. Now we’re back to excluding people from society based on immutable physical traits?

Anyway, according to Watson, the field trip, which “was officially approved by the board of education,” included tours of Historically Black Colleges and Universities on the East coast, visits to “civil rights sites,” and “discussions on social justice, leadership, and self-awareness.” Oh, and it cost the district, or more accurately the taxpayers, more than $40,000. Let’s not forget that whites are the only racial group that actually contribute more in taxes than they take in. And, consider that if or when these impoverished kids from Oakland do go to college, since it’s de facto considered a “right” by the federal government, the taxpayers will no doubt be paying for those “educations” as well. All so they can be even more indoctrinated to view white people as oppressors and less than.

I thought the left said segregation was bad? Isn’t that what they’ve been harping on for decades? One of the main reasons why they say blacks are owed reparations? Didn’t they rail against the “separate but equal” idea? Then they go and do this? Separate but unequal?

And, here’s where things get very ironic: Under previous eras of segregation, blacks did better academically than they do now. Why? Because white schools were taught in the Western canon (and by virtue of the curriculum, excelling), and black schools wanted to prove (and did prove) that they could compete and do just as well. Leave it up to the progressives of California to not only resurrect the very policies they insist define America as a “racist” nation, but do so in a way that’s actually worse for everyone involved.

Isn’t “equity” such a marvelous concept?

No reason that they should be.

According to the financial scuttlebutt, the traders and money-makers SAW what was going on: exfiltration of money/assets FROM Europe TO everyone else – whether USA, Russia, and elsewhere.

What it means is that Europe is the BIG LOSER in this world-game.

Sad to see the Europeans fall, yet happy that it is THEY who brought it on themselves, with specious virtue-signaling guff, haughty faux-righteousness, and self-superior mental illness.

Europe, Schmurope.

Dollar diplomacy in action: as the Iranian economy collapses, the American economy is flexing its muscle to provide liquidity to partners and allies.

I think this is the sort of outcome that bombing the whole country to smithereens in the first week would not have engendered.

AI video interesting.

Geometry advance gave me a chuckle. Just like “old school”, had to show the work, to arrive at the answer.

Climate change. Total Warning Will Robinson. Classic GIGO to control the masses. Yea, jaded thinking here.

Weather forecasting. Would have been interesting to see what the AI forecast was for Helene. Also the storm that generated a flash flood event, that killed hundreds of children in TX high country on a camp outing of sorts.

Sir ES

I strongly suspect that *both* events, NC and TX, were geo-engineered – NC was on purpose, but TX was a f-up by a private rain-maker company that didn’t exercise due caution in re weather forecasts.

The latter was like the Middle East airport that got 15-20 feet of water in the *desert*…

BOTH should be held liable, IMO.

kalbokalbs

Agree. Some or many here also agree.

TradeBait2

Yup – obviously I am one of those. All I had to do was look at the Helene storm track and “recon” flight concentrations in Meh-i-co airspace where it sat and churned over several days to know what was up. Then when this major hurricane did not seek warm, humid open waters 300 miles from landfall in the normal, oft repeated path and instead turned inward toward the mountains and interior land while dumping two feet of rain in less than 48 hours over same – well it does not take a genius to see it was an engineered event.

It is amazing how blue the skies are and how crisp the air is in east TN now with the ban. No chemtrails for going on two years. Do see short contrails on occasion. They dissipate in short order. One of the “advantages” of living 15 aeronautical miles away from a major airport with an Air National Guard base while not being under the regular flight patterns is the ability to easily observe it all.

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

Verse of the Day for Thursday, April 23, 2026

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”

John 6:38 (KJV)

COMMMENTARY FOR JOHN 6:38

Five thousand miraculously fed. (1-14) Jesus walks on the sea. (15-21) He directs to spiritual food. (22-27) His discourse with the multitude. (28-65) Many of disciples go back. (66-71)

36-46 The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation. The Father’s will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him. No one will come, till Divine grace has subdued, and in part changed his heart; therefore no one who comes will ever be cast out. The gospel finds none willing to be saved in the humbling, holy manner, made known therein; but God draws with his word and the Holy Ghost; and man’s duty is to hear and learn; that is to say, to receive the grace offered, and consent to the promise. None had seen the Father but his beloved Son; and the Jews must expect to be taught by his inward power upon their minds, and by his word, and the ministers whom he sent among 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.

Oh gosh! I wish I could say I was surprised…apparently she worked there at some point. Benson’s trajectory follows the standard path for high-level political figures in the current establishment:

She graduated from Wellesley College, an elite private women’s college known for producing influential figures in the liberal political sphere. She attended Magdalen College, Oxford, [UK] as a Marshall Scholar, where she earned a master’s degree in sociology. She received her Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. During her time there, she was an editor for the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, signaling an early alignment with the progressive legal framework that dominates the federal judiciary and law schools.

Early in her career, she worked for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization frequently employed to monitor and target nationalist and traditionalist political movements. She also clerked for Judge Damon Keith on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and served as the youngest woman to lead an accredited law school while dean of Wayne State University Law School.

She loves using the military spouse label. Benson is married to Ryan Friedrichs. Friedrichs is a U.S. Army veteran who has held various roles in urban policy and administration, including serving in the Detroit Mayor’s Office. The couple met while both were students at Harvard.

Friedrichs served as the Chief Development Officer for the City of Detroit under Mayor Mike Duggan. In this role, he was responsible for managing the infusion of capital from private philanthropic organizations into city government—a process that effectively privatized significant portions of public administration. This “public-private partnership” model is often used to bypass traditional democratic oversight in urban governance.

WARNING, warning Will Robinson:

After his time in the mayor’s office, Friedrichs moved to the Skillman Foundation, a massive private foundation focused on “improving life for children” in Detroit. These foundations often act as the intellectual and financial engine for radical educational reform, demographic engineering, and social policy that the public would otherwise reject via the ballot box.

Friedrichs is a product of the networks that rely on grants from organizations like the Kresge Foundation and the Skillman Foundation to influence public policy. By funneling “philanthropic” money into government projects, individuals like Friedrichs can direct the trajectory of cities without ever being accountable to the voters.

Friedrichs was the foundation’s VP. One of the most notorious aspects of the foundation’s history is its heavy involvement in the radical restructuring of Detroit’s education system. Through massive grants, the foundation pushed for the proliferation of charter schools, district consolidations, and educational models that emphasize “global citizenship” over national identity and historical literacy. Critics have long argued that this is part of a broader cycle of institutional degradation and resource extraction from the city’s population.

Rep from NJ gone for a month–missed votes and 50 roll calls–no one knows what happened. Just that he’ll be back soon. great job, huh, you can disappear from work for a month without repercussions.
Fta
Rep. Tom Kean Jr. represents New Jersey’s most competitive district this November — but nobody, even his GOP colleagues, can say where he’s been for the past month.
A scion of one of the state’s most storied political dynasties, Kean’s team says the two-term congressmember is facing unspecified health issues. The New Jersey Republican hasn’t voted since March 5 and has missed almost 50 roll call votes.
The other two Republicans in the New Jersey delegation, Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, said they have called and texted Kean out of concern for his health. But so far, neither said they have heard from him. Van Drew said it’s been “radio silence.”
Several New York Republicans who have worked with Kean on key issues said similarly. Kean’s absence has largely fallen under the radar and GOP leaders haven’t addressed the issue to the conference, according to several Republicans.
One Republican, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), said he didn’t even realize Kean had been missing until he tried to find him on the House floor Tuesday.
“I was looking for him,” Bacon said in an interview Wednesday. “I didn’t know it was that long.”
“I know the congressman and his family appreciate all of the well wishes and support,” Kean consultant Harrison Neely told POLITICO. “Please know that he will be back on a regular full schedule very soon.”

MOAR from New Republic (Far Left rag)

Congress Has Known About John Roberts’s Wife’s Shady Financial Dealings for Months — Another financial scandal for another Supreme Court justice.Prem Thakker/
April 28, 2023

Jane Roberts, the wife of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, has allegedly been paid more than $10 million by an array of high-class law firms; at least one of these firms argued a case before her husband in the Supreme Court, after paying her hundreds of thousands of dollars. And the cherry on top is that Congress has known about these allegations for months.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has come under immense pressure to do something, anything, in the face of numerous revelations of how crooked America’s Supreme Court is. Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch have both been reported to have participated in shady dealings; frustration mounted as Roberts has refused to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee in responding to the troubling allegations.

And now it’s becoming more and more clear why: It’s a small club, and Roberts has no problem being part of it…

TheseTruths

Thanks for digging.

“Allegedly.” Receipts or it didn’t happen.

“At least one of those firms,” not 500 cases.

I understand where he’s coming from. I also think that the “conservative” justices are not necessarily always voting according to ideology. My impression is that they are parsing the law because that is their job, and that they are thinking much like a libertarian whose “principles” have disastrous results.

When PDJT first expressed this criticism (maybe at the SOTU address? I could be mistaken about that), Amy Coney Barrett looked very disturbed, as if she thought he was expecting partisanship from them.

I don’t know what effect, if any, these criticisms will have on their decisions, or what Pres. Trump thinks he is accomplishing or if he thinks this could sway their deliberative process. Maybe he hopes that, having made one bad decision on tariffs, they will make up for it by ruling correctly on birthright citizenship. I hope that his speaking up doesn’t cause them to dig in their heels. They are supposed to be impartial but are only human.

patfrederick

okay…playing evil’s advocate. what if it’s all theater? what if this “criticism” is window dressing? maybe he doesn’t want the public to think he DIRECTS SCOTUS?
that they are a neutral body–even though the leftist judges vote as a bloc.

TheseTruths

maybe he doesn’t want the public to think he DIRECTS SCOTUS?

He has already said a lot about the tariff ruling that went against him, so it should already be clear. But if you’re saying that he keeps highlighting that in anticipation of a birthright win, so people will not think he has the conservative justices in his back pocket, maybe. But I think he really does think they are going to rule against him and that this will unnecessarily thwart an important part of his agenda.

patfrederick

that second part was what i was trying to get at.

kalbokalbs

Good with Justices being called out.

I expect the three DumRats, Kenji, Soto and Kagen to go straight Libtard. It’s what they do. Though, they should follow the Constition.

The other six, should follow the Constitution. It does not appear to me they do so.

Call out the nonsense. Maybe they’ll get it right in the future. Or they’ll for whatever reason, follow the three DumRat justices.

TheseTruths

I agree. I also think there’s more to it than following the Constitution. I think the layers of law that have to be gone through affect their decisions. Here are obstacles that I’ve observed, as a lay person, that stand in the way of getting to the decisions we need: If there is an indication that a case was filed improperly, or that it *should* go back to a lower court, or if there is no standing, or whatever…

The legal complications are legion. We look at it and say, “Here’s what the Constitution meant, and it should be simple.” And maybe it should, but so often, that’s not how it works.

Kurt Schlichter’s column of April 6, 2026, brought here by cthulhu, expresses it well (emphasis mine):
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/04/06/dont-freak-out-when-we-lose-the-birthright-citizenship-case-n2673916

So, here’s your spoiler. We’re going to lose this case, likely on procedural grounds rather than on the issue of birthright citizenship itself. What it is probably going to be is the justices somehow ruling that Trump‘s executive order banning birthright citizenship is procedurally flawed and unenforceable.

The majority opinion is probably not even going to reach whether the 14th Amendment requires birthright citizenship. Now, the three leftist justices will probably write a concurrence to that effect, but that’s not going to be the holding of the case that creates precedent. Their avoiding a ruling on the constitutionality of Trump’s birthright citizenship ban is not necessarily because the other justices are cowardly, though it does provide a great excuse to avoid a great controversy. There is a principle in the law that courts will avoid ruling something unconstitutional if they can do so on some other ground. And they will be most happy to do so here.

Roe v. Wade lasted 50 years before it was overturned. It is a huge ask to appeal to the Supreme Court to change something we’ve been doing for so long.

They can say Trump’s executive order is somehow procedurally inappropriate, and they don’t need to talk about the 14th Amendment at all. I think it’s likely, though not certain, that they will.

I’m not saying this is right. I’m saying this is reality.

Frustrating and maddening as all get-out, and Pres. Trump’s irritation is completely justified, but Schlichter is right: this is reality. .

Here’s a legal question for which I have no answer:
Is there a way, when getting a case before SCOTUS, to couch it in terms where they have to rule on the constitutionality, without all those extraneous considerations that they can use as excuses?

The birthright case sprang from an executive order. If Schlichter is correct that they can say that “Trump‘s executive order banning birthright citizenship is procedurally flawed and unenforceable,” then I don’t see a way around that. But maybe lawyers could.

patfrederick

i thought one perspective was the 14th amendment itself uses the word RESIDE and clearly “birthright tourism” is not residence. how that comes about in a lawsuit i wouldn’t know.
another phrase is “owing allegiance to” (IIRC) and certainly illegals and tourists do not owe allegiance to the US.
but who knows?

TheseTruths

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I think that all of our side’s arguments against birthright citizenship are valid. What Schlichter is saying, and what I think is likely to happen, is that they will be unwilling to overturn a longstanding practice and will instead rule that there is an issue with Pres. Trump’s executive order. (If this happens, I would not like to be in the same room with PDJT!)

patfrederick

I think some enterprising lawyer and his client could sue CA for making citizenship a COMMODITY to be bought and sold. THAT is clearly NOT the framers’ intention.

Wong Kim Ark was issued in 1898, long after the 14th was enacted. It used the word ‘domicile’ [which is one of my favorite legal words] many times. So the opinion that comes will have to deal with ‘residence’ as having been modified by ‘domicile’ as stated in Ark.

The Petitioners Brief lays out the law [and the case] quite well. Sauer uses the devils advocate technique quite effectively all through the brief for each critical point he wants SCOTUS to side with him. He sees domicile as a major point in the overall analysis of the case, as do I.

Sir ES

Amazing – I was just about to ask you in re ‘residence’ and ‘domicile’, and just after I posted … there you are!

Any thoughts on whether my partial inquiry has merit? Thx!

Sir ES

The proper use of language / words is of paramount importance.

The word “residence” (and/or “reside”) may not denote legally what most people believe it does, in the vernacular.

A new doctor working in a hospital usually has to go through “residency” for a few years. Does that mean that he/she LIVES there? Of course not!

It may be that the strict legal word for where one lives could be a “home,” or a “domicile,” whereas a ‘residence” proper is about employment.

I came across this tidbit only once, but it piqued my interest vis-a-vis the nuances between legal v. popular definitions of words.

I wish I’d copied the explanation, and/or its link. Still, though, one ought to be wary of equivocation (where one uses a term that another party translates differently). When I took logic, the estimate was that 90% of arguments between people are due to equivocation (‘lost in translation’).

For example, when a judge asks the defendant, “Do you understand the charges brought against you?”, the vast majority of the accused believe that the word ‘understand’ is to perceive what the charges are.

But the judge, using the semi-antiquated definition, means “Do you *stand under* the charges,” to acquiesce to the authority of the judge.

It seems to me that the judicial lexicon can be, and often is, very different than the normal lexicon.

FWIW…

patfrederick

that’s why lawyers are paid by the hour…they explain things very slowly.

Sir ES

The “wheels of justice” work for attorneys, too!

Glad I didn’t go for that profession – such a grind!

But I *do* like the Biblical millstone metaphor, in re mistreatment of children.

Context matters!

patfrederick

perhaps a 4 month stay with a gorilla who will show pedophiles and children abusers what’s what.
until they are on the receiving end of that kind of treatment, they will never change.

Is there a way, when getting a case before SCOTUS, to couch it in terms where they have to rule on the constitutionality, …

If one desires to have SCOTUS review a dispute, it must be one that pits two different interpretations of the constitution against each other [often called a circuit split] AND NO LEGAL ERRORS. Keeping in mind that there can be legal errors below but none of them can ‘fix’ the result AND none of them are in the petition for cert. In this instance, Kurt is correct.

As a paralegal, I had the benefit of doing lots of reading which provided lots of law practice gems. One that is appropriate here is – ‘the time to start preparing an appeal is when you’re composing the complaint’.

IOW, there’s no substitute for planning the case thoroughly from the start before building the case. Everything else is created from start to finish and only then is the assembly line turned on. Attorneys are NOT arguing their own cases – they are arguing the clients’ cases.

Judges [and justices] are similar. They might know how the decision [opinion] is likely to turn out upon their first look at the briefs [starting with the petition for cert] but the review is in multiple stages and re-looking.

Slickster failed to mention one thing that most media missed as well – the technique called devil’s advocate. An attorney will argue from the adversary’s position to see how strongly the petitioner will respond from his/her own position.

Some judges do this during oral argument [often called a live court or a live bench]. SCOTUS has no repeat meeting with the case – they have to get all necessary info this time. So you will see this in SCOTUS oral argument often where the justices have to behave a little like attorneys in order to gather needed facts that are not in the briefs.

That is much more likely IMO to be what was seen in the citizenship oral argument than anything else. Especially when two or three justices ‘gang up’ on an attorney and ‘tag team’ him/her.

Taking flak means you’re over the target.

Hope this helps.

patfrederick

“The Rabbit Hole”:

The rise of white supremacy was a media generated narrative. This is observable:

“The Drunk Republican”

The left quickly realized that if the boogeyman of white supremacy disappeared, so did their power.

So they literally funded it.

Sir ES

There was also a graph a few years ago displaying the same huge spike for the incidence in the media of the word “racism.” The two graphs are consonant…

Leon Trotsky, of the inner circle of Lenin, coined the term to smear any individual or group that didn’t toe the party line.

Trotsky ended up later being assassinated by Stalin – his own ‘party.’

How Bolshevik!

Cuppa Covfefe

(funny thing, but that graph looks like it was generated on an HP 7475A plotter from way back when… I worked with the fellow who wrote the assembly-language routines for it, almost treated it like it was one of his offspring 🙂 )…..

Time for street justice for that girl. Hope she doesn’t have a brain injury. Don’t care if it’s her relatives or a total stranger but that dude needs some harsh comeuppance. Anymore, we can’t count on the court or police to be able to take action. imo

This random brutality is off the charts. Is it any wonder people are afraid of people that look like him and the guy that sat behind the Uk girl and murdered her for NO damn reason and all the other throat punches, pushes off the train platform and hundreds of other times.

Until then, this IS the same shit we’ve heard for ~5+ years. Yada. Yada.

EVENING PRAYERS

A Night-time Prayer to Quiet Anxious Thoughts (Psalm 71)
Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” When you lay down to sleep and anxiety has a chokehold on your heart and mind, run to Jesus. 
“Father God, I am anxious tonight and struggle to fall asleep. Rescue me, Lord, and deliver me. You are my fortress, my strong refuge, to which I can always go. You are my hope and my confidence. Be near to me and come quickly to help me. Comfort me once again. I praise You for Your faithfulness, God. You have redeemed me, and I will always have hope.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

A Night-time Prayer for Loved Ones (Psalm 112)
We want the best for our family and friends, and it is natural to worry about those we love. But anxiety won’t help them, and we have a direct line to Someone who can change their lives. When you can’t sleep at night because of your concerns for loved ones, take your worries to Jesus, who loves them even more than You do.
” Tonight Lord, bless ________, Lord, with joy and peace. Teach them to love Your Word and find delight in serving You. Guide them and give them the strength and courage to live a life of generosity and justice and compassion. Make their heart steadfast and secure, free of fear and trusting only in You. I pray for ______ in the name of Jesus, that they would see their need for You and know Your love for them. Help me to find sweet rest and peace tonight trusting in your sovereign care.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

A Bedtime Prayer to Trust God
In times of uncertainty and restlessness, finding comfort in trust in God can bring supernatural peace as you lay your head down to rest. This bedtime prayerseeks to cultivate trust and surrender to God’s plan, knowing He loves and cares for you!
Heavenly Father, as I prepare to rest my weary body and mind, I surrender all my worries and fears into Your loving hands. Grant me the strength to trust in Your divine plan for my life, knowing that Your wisdom exceeds my understanding. May Your presence envelop me in peace, guiding me through the night with unwavering faith. Amen.”

Minesweeping good news. Finally.

Grok.
Two Avenger-class mine countermeasures ships (MCMs) are enroute to the Straits of Hormuz area as of mid-to-late April 2026.

These are the USS Chief (MCM-14) and USS Pioneer (MCM-9), both Japan-homeported (Sasebo) Avenger-class vessels. They departed Singapore on April 10, 2026, transited the Strait of Malacca westward, and were later spotted near Phuket, Thailand, heading toward U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) / 5th Fleet operations in the Persian Gulf region.

^^^ This is part of the reason Trump extended the ceasefire. Get MCM ships in AOR.

The remaining two Avenger class ships reported at their homeport, Sasebo, JA. Likely overhaul/extended maintenance.

Jesse delivers more good news.

HOLY SMOKES. Iran’s so-called Supreme Leader can reportedly BARELY SPEAK and is “severely BURNED”

Not revoke exempt status – declare it fraudulently obtained. Re-do all their tax returns since they started acting politically and come up with tax due with retroactive interest. That is what would happen to you or me if we pulled that crap as a 501(c)(3). We’d have liens slapped on every damn asset we owned.

All the laws and regulations to do that already exist so there’s no possibility of SPLC getting a TRO or an injunction.
