Makes Perfect Sense To Slow Guy.

Clandestine.

Taiwan is Not Ours to Defend

I think we are going to see the eventual withdrawal of US influence in Taiwan and Ukraine.

Trump is removing Chinese/Russian influence from our hemisphere, Venezuela, Panama, Cuba, etc., and I think Trump wants to remove our presence from China and Russia’s neighborhood as well.

Putin and Xi stood down this entire time while Trump removed their influence in our region, and I think they did so in exchange for us to do the same. This fits into my overall thesis that we are seeing the world map be redrawn, and spheres of influence are being consolidated. The US will no longer be the world police, our military is coming home, and the superpowers will be in charge of their respective regions.

I think Trump is ending the proxy wars, the espionage, the weapons of mass destruction arms races, the Cold War that never ended, and preventing WW3 before it begins. We will stay in our yard, China/Russia will stay in their yard, and we can trade with each other and coexist peacefully. We can treat each other as global partners, instead of enemies on a collision course for war.

I think this is the end goal of the plan. A sustainable and lasting peace.

Another, Clandestine. THIS also, makes perfect sense. Common Sense.

China and Russia Want to Protect Their DNA

⚠️REMINDER⚠️

Russia and China are protective over Ukraine and Taiwan, because the people of these nations share bloodlines with their parent nations.

This matters when it comes to genome-specific biological weapons, which Russia and China directly addressed.

RFK Jr. addressed this as well, back in July 2023. He brought up a topic that I have covered extensively, which is all the biolabs in Ukraine and Taiwan, which are collecting Russian and Chinese ethnic DNA, to which we can create viruses that target individuals based on specific sequences in their DNA. This is not some kooky tinfoil hat stuff. Genome-specific, or “ethnic” biological weapons are real, it’s been a central theme in the global geopolitical landscape for years, and both Russia and China want control of their ethnic lineage for this exact reason.

The Deep State were using Ukrainian and Taiwanese blood samples, to build bioweapons designed to wipe out the Russian and Chinese civilizations.

Ukraine and Taiwan is about WAY more than just territory, it’s about bloodlines and national security.

President Trump Announces Massive $1.7 Billion “Weaponization” Fund for Americans Targeted by Biden DOJ, Including J6ers

President Trump is set to launch a massive $1.7 billion compensation fund aimed at helping Americans who were targeted by the Biden Regime’s weaponized Department of Justice.

According to a report from ABC News, the fund would compensate individuals who were politically targeted during the Biden years, including many January 6 defendants, conservative activists, and other Trump allies caught in what critics have called one of the largest political persecutions in modern American history.

The move is already sending shockwaves through Washington.

For years, conservatives have argued that the Biden DOJ operated with a two-tiered justice system, aggressively prosecuting Trump supporters while ignoring violent left-wing extremism and politically connected insiders. Many January 6 defendants spent months or even years tied up in court battles, facing prison sentences, financial ruin, public humiliation, and permanent damage to their reputations.

Trump allies say the new compensation fund is about restoring justice and acknowledging the suffering many Americans endured during the Biden administration.

Supporters of the plan argue that countless ordinary Americans were treated like political enemies simply for protesting, questioning the 2020 election, or supporting President Trump. Conservatives across social media immediately praised the announcement as a historic step toward accountability.

America First AND Only American Values. islam is incompatible with America.

In a nutshell…

Islamization: “The Civilization You Save Will Be Your Own” and One Author’s Warning to the West

“The moderates are jihadi-Islamists with patience,” said F.W. Burleigh, author of the book It’s All About Muhammad: A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet.

In an interview with The Gateway Pundit, Burleigh offered his assessment of Islam’s global advance, the West’s failure to respond, and what he believes must be done.

Burleigh argues that Muslims are drawn to Christianity because of its message of peace and love. “People are drawn by love, and that is what Jesus projects,” he said. Muslim defectors, having witnessed Islam’s cultivation of hatred toward non-Muslims, seek something different. Christ’s message of a loving Father, he argues, resonates where theology does not, and Jesus “comes to them in their dreams because of their need for love.”

The phenomenon of Muslims having the “Jesus dream” and then converting to Christianity has been well documented. It is not hard to believe that a message of love and sacrifice for others resonates more with some people than a message of destruction in the name of establishing an Islamic caliphate. In his book, Burleigh traces that hatred directly to Muhammad, arguing that Islam is not a conventional religion but a cult of violence whose survival depended from the beginning on terror imposed on those who refused to submit.

He views Western converts to Islam very differently. “Stupidity and brainwashing explain it,” he said flatly, adding that most eventually leave. For many, he argued, it is little more than cultural fashionability. He traces the deeper cause to what he calls Gramscian Marxists who have systematically taken over public education from universities down to grammar schools, working in parallel with “moderate” Muslims over decades.

He explained why he referred to moderates as “jihadists with patience.” “They wear nice smiles, blend in, and are willing to wait 20, 30, or 40 years for their stealth tactics to bear fruit.”

The election of a Muslim-Marxist mayor of New York, he added, is proof that those efforts are now bearing fruit, “unless the explanation comes from a rigged election, which can’t be ruled out.”

On whether Islam can coexist with other religions, Burleigh is unambiguous. He cites Koran 8:39 directly: “Fight with them until there is no more fitna and religion is all for Allah.” Islam will tolerate other faiths only so long as their adherents pay a subjugation tax, he argues, and even then the pressure to convert continues.

Christians and other religious minorities are paying jizya across multiple countries where jihadist groups operate as de facto governing authorities. In Mali, JNIM, an al-Qaeda affiliate, has imposed a monthly tax of roughly $40 on all Christians over 18 in the Mopti region, threatening to close churches for non-payment. Along the Niger-Burkina Faso border, jihadists have given Christian males aged 15 and older a choice: pay jizya or face the consequences, warning that those who pay will “live as slaves.”

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, ADF/ISCAP has presented Christians with three options: conversion to Islam, payment of jizya, or death, a framework ISIS’s Al-Naba newsletter described in August 2025 as fully sanctioned by Islamic law.

In Pakistan, TTP and Lashkar-e-Islam have imposed jizya across tribal border areas, including the Tirah Valley and Orakzai, where one Sikh community was forced to pay 20 million rupees and others abandoned their homes rather than comply. Afghanistan remains the only internationally recognized government still imposing jizya by name under Taliban rule. Open Doors analysts assess these cases as part of a coordinated wider strategy, with families who refuse or cannot pay being driven from their ancestral lands.

He points to the absence of Christian churches in Saudi Arabia, the destruction of Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, the shrinking space for Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the burning of Catholic churches in Europe. “Who is torching all the Catholic churches and cathedrals in Europe?” he asked.

His book documents this pattern from Islam’s founding, cataloging what it says are Muhammad’s crimes against those who rejected him, including mass killings of Jewish tribes, assassination of critics, enslavement of men, women, and children, and systematic plunder.

WAYNE ROOT: Why The SAVE America Act has Become a Scam to Fool President Trump. Stop Fighting for It (for now). It’s a Trojan Horse. Here is the Only Solution for Midterms.

By Wayne Allyn Root

No one in all of America wants Voter ID, proof of citizenship, an end to mail-in ballots, and paper ballots replacing machines more than me.

I’ve fought loud and hard for the SAVE America Act. I’ve fought for this bill like a cornered wolverine. To me, it was the only way to save the midterms.

But my fight for the SAVE Act was a year ago…and many months ago. Not now.

Now it’s a dollar short and a day late. Passing it now would be a scam.

Here’s why…

First, this was the easiest bill to pass in the history of Congress. Everyone is for it- Republican voters, Democrat voters, independents, white voters, black voters, Latino voters- literally, EVERYONE.

Yet with the GOP controlling both houses of Congress, and knowing Democrats rig and cheat like the rest of us breathe air, the GOP Senate refused to pass it.

What a disgrace.

The holdout GOP Senators are now exposed as frauds either playing for the Democrats, the Deep State, or bribed or blackmailed by China and the CCP.

But many Republicans, conservatives and MAGA patriots are still pushing hard for the Senate to finally come to their senses and pass the SAVE Act. They think they can embarrass, humiliate or shame the holdouts into suspending the Filibuster and passing the SAVE Act.

Here’s the problem. Here’s why this is a scam, a trojan horse, a mirage, a WMD- weapon of mass distraction.

If the SAVE America Act passed a year ago, or 9 months ago, or even 6 months ago…it would have been a Godsend. Yes, it would have saved the midterms.

But now its too late. Because the day after it passes, Democrat super lawyer Marc Elias and his evil band of scumbag communist traitor lawyers will file a lawsuit. And it will be tied up in court for 6 months, 9 months, maybe even a year- by the time it winds its way through nonstop appeals to higher courts, and finally, the Supreme Court.

So, even if it passes, it will never be in effect for the upcoming midterms.

It could have been and almost certainly would have been in effect for the midterms, if the GOP Senate had passed it a year ago, or even 6 months ago. But now it’s too late. They stalled and waited too long.

But my educated guess is…that was the whole point of the stalling. This is the Democrat, communist traitors and Deep State gameplan- just keep stalling until the cavalry arrives (ie Democrats re-take power).

And part of this “Art of War” deception is not just to stall, but to eventually reverse course, and vote for the very bill you are against, but do it too late- so it actually looks like you’re one of the good guys, who came to your senses, and came to the rescue of the American people.

Now you win re-election, while deceiving the citizens. The bill is too late. The election is stolen, but it looks like you tried to help. Win-win for Deep State plants.

Overjoyed, America’s shackles to UK, EU, NATO are breaking. UN next.

Tina Peters Drops ‘Statements’ After Far-Left Gov. Polis Grants Clemency

Now, just hours after news of her clemency broke, Peters released a statement:

==============================

Thank you Governor Polis.
I made mistakes, and for those I am sorry. Five years ago I misled the Secretary of State when allowing a person to gain access to county voting equipment. That was wrong. I have learned and grown during my time in prison and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.
I strongly condemned it when people not connected to me threatened to storm the prison I am in. I myself have faced threats, so, I also want to be clear that I condemn any and all bullying, threats and acts of violence against voters, county clerks, election workers, and other public officials, and concerned citizens like myself.
Upon release, I plan to do my best through legal means to support election integrity and based on my own personal experiences to elevate the cause of prison reform to help ensure the detention system is more fair and equitable for people of all ages. My experiences have given me a perspective that plan to share with others to improve Colorado’s corrections system. I am grateful for a second chance and an earlier release, and I look forward to doing good in the world.
Thank you Governor Polis.

— Tina Peters Whistleblower of fallen Navy SEAL (@realtinapeters) May 15, 2026

==============================

The statement marks the first time Peters has publicly acknowledged any “mistake” since her 2024 conviction, a conviction The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly exposed as a blatant political hit job.

Social media is erupting with reactions from her supporters, who overwhelmingly believe Peters had no choice but to say what she needed to say in order to secure her freedom from the clutches of Colorado’s corrupt system.

Besides this place, I am known to socialize at a couple of clubs — the Pacific Coast Cichlid Association (PCCA), which relates to a type of freshwater fish; and the Bay Area Engine Modelers (BAEM), which builds miniature engines.

At the PCCA, which met last Saturday, our speakers were students of Dr. Ron Coleman. We’ve known Dr. Ron since he was a graduate student under Dr. George Barlow. Since then, he has developed a department at Cal State Sacramento.

I suspect he brings his students to us as speakers to improve their presentation skills in a friendly (but raucous and knowledgeable) environment. The first speaker talked about her research with cichlid fry in a 3D-printed racetrack. Turns out, she was working with the Convict Cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata), so she got a lot of flak about sample size. Convict cichlids are nearly indestructible, will breed in a bucket of water without a heater, and can spawn at 1″ even though they’re only supposed to be adult at 3″. The “special conditions” for farming this species is “just keep them wet.” They’ve been known to lay eggs on the inside of shipping bags.

The next young lady spoke about her experiences in Costa Rica doing fieldwork. She swam up to cichlid nests and photographed the parents against 3D-printed colored featureless fish models — red might be 3″, yellow might be 2″. The models, though elongated, did not have fins or eyes so as not to promote aggression — nevertheless, several species attacked them. When the young lady noted that she had not been attacked, I suggested that she garb the models in dresses [like she was wearing at the time, instead of the wetsuit she mostly wore in the Costa Rican streams].

I think Wayne Root is correct that it’s too late for the SAVE America Act. Here is his solution:

So, what’s the only SOLUTION at this late date? I keep yelling it from the highest mountaintops…

President Trump must sign a “Presidential National Security Emergency on Elections.”

And under that “emergency declaration” umbrella issue a new Executive Order mandating Voter ID, proof of citizenship, a ban of mail-in voting, and paper ballots replacing machines.

Here is the beauty of this idea: It cannot be challenged in court. The Supreme Court already decided this in 1983 under President Ronald Reagan. 

The Supreme Court ruled that the only way to overturn a “Presidential National Security Emergency” declaration is by a 2/3rds vote of both houses of Congress.

Democrats can’t ever overcome that 2/3rds vote hurdle. Not even close. 

This way to proceed is foolproof- simply because there can be no lawsuits to stall the implementation of this emergency order. 

This is how we neuter Democrat obstruction, and radical communist insurrection judges.

I like it. More at the link, including:

With all due respect to Garrison, I think this ‘toon hurts DJT’s efforts to deal with Xi.

IMO, it unnecessarily insults Xi. Could have been a little less insulting while still getting the message across. After all, Chinese aren’t as stupid as American leftists.

I have to say, I don’t think Xi gives one shit what an American cartoonist thinks. If Xi cared what the world thinks of him, he wouldn’t be executing prisoners to give their organs to CCP members, and persecuting the Uyghurs the way he does. Xi is a nasty piece of work.

I don’t think anything works that way.

I think they realized they didn’t intimidate DJT. They don’t have the military capability to carry on a large scale offensive on the other side of the world in Venezuela or Cuba, certainly not against the United States.

The only way that game ever worked was because weak U.S. presidents allowed it.

DJT isn’t weak, and our adversaries know it.

“Russia and China are protective over Ukraine and Taiwan, because the people of these nations share bloodlines with their parent nations.”

____________

The two situations are different.

Parts of Ukraine are Russian and the People in those parts consider themselves Russian and want to be Russian, and they are persecuted by the Ukrainian Nazi government installed by Hussein O’Traitor.

Russians also had agreements that NATO would never extend to their own border, that countries like Ukraine would be a buffer zone between NATO and Russia.

The criminal governments of the West violated those agreements with much malice aforethought, and if any of them were in Putin’s shoes, they’d have done the exact same thing Putin did, if not much more.

By contrast, the large majority of the People of Taiwan want their independence from mainland chyna, as most people want independence from totalitarians dictatorships.

The CCP could care less about the bloodlines, what they want is the TSMC semiconductor manufacturing facility in Taiwan, the same facility that supplies the West with the best chips in the world, and doesn’t supply them to the Axis of Evil.

Dutch company ASML, who make the machines to make the chips, and likewise don’t make those machines available to the Axis of Evil, also has a significant presence in Taiwan.

If the government of Taiwan and the heads of those companies have a brain in their heads, those factories are rigged for complete self-destruction in the event of an invasion by mainland CCP chyna.

Elon is building his own semiconductor plant in the U.S., using machines from ASML, and Taiwan’s TSMC has opened a manufacturing facility in the U.S. too, but Elon’s facility is at least 2 years from being complete, and Taiwan Semiconductor’s (TSMC) U.S. operation is not yet able to replace the production capacity of their Taiwan facilities.

We won’t stop protecting Taiwan until our own capacity to replace Taiwan-produced semiconductors is complete. And if we did, those semiconductor facilities, which are worth hundreds of billions of dollars in equipment alone, would have to be destroyed.

And if the U.S. withdraws from protecting Taiwan, the People of Taiwan will slip back under totalitarian dictatorship.

People in parts of Ukraine very much want to be part of Russia.

I’m not aware of anyone in Taiwan who wants to be part of CCP chyna.

So the two situations are very different, in many ways.

Just looked it up on Brave:

……………………..
There are a small number of Taiwanese people who support unification with China under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), though this view represents a fringe minority within the broader population. 

According to surveys and reports, the vast majority of Taiwanese citizens oppose unification with the PRC and prefer to maintain the status quo or identify as Taiwanese. 
 
However, specific groups do support closer ties or unification with Beijing:

Pro-CCP Advocates: A tiny segment of the population, often older men with historical ties to the Kuomintang (KMT) or economic benefits from China, explicitly welcomes CCP rule. Some believe life would improve under Beijing’s stability and economic strength, viewing Taiwanese independence movements as detrimental. 

KMT Traditionalists: Many supporters of the main opposition party, the KMT, advocate for unification based on the “One China Principle,” but their support typically focuses on the Republic of China (ROC) heritage rather than direct acceptance of CCP authoritarian rule. They generally seek peaceful dialogue and economic cooperation rather than immediate political absorption.

Nostalgic Migrants: A dwindling number of individuals who fled mainland China during the civil war retain a nostalgic desire for reunification, though this group is shrinking as they age. 

Polls consistently show that over 70% of Taiwanese consider Taiwan a sovereign state (often synonymous with the ROC), and support for immediate unification with the PRC remains below 10%. 

 The prevailing sentiment among younger and middle-aged voters is a desire for peace and economic stability without becoming part of the CCP’s political system.

Also from Brave search, regarding various elements mentioned above:

………………………………
Elon Musk’s Terafab: Massive Investment and Ambitious Goals
Elon Musk has unveiled Terafab, a joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, with the goal of creating the world’s largest and most vertically integrated semiconductor facility. 
 
Initially announced in March 2026 with an estimated cost of $20-$25 billion, the project’s scope has dramatically expanded. A recent filing by SpaceX in Grimes County, Texas, revealed plans for a facility that could cost up to $119 billion, with an initial phase requiring a $55 billion investment. 

Musk has described this as a “15-year strategy” to secure the massive supply of custom AI and memory chips needed for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving, Optimus robots, and SpaceX’s orbital data center constellation. 

The project is designed to consolidate every stage of chip production—from design and fabrication to advanced packaging and testing—under one roof, a model that goes against the modern industry’s trend of specialization. Musk claims this integration will create a “recursive loop” for rapid chip improvement.

The ultimate goal is to produce enough compute to generate one terawatt of AI power annually, with 80% of that output destined for space-based data centers powered by solar energy.

.

Terafab’s Status and Timeline: Still in Early Stages
Despite the grand vision, Terafab is in its very early stages. Musk has not provided a definitive timeline for full-scale production, and analysts consider his stated goals highly ambitious.

In April 2026, Musk clarified on Tesla’s earnings call that the details of the deployment are “still being worked out.” The immediate focus is on building a $3 billion research fab at the Giga Texas campus in Austin, which will be capable of producing a few thousand wafers per month. 

 This facility will serve as a prototype to develop processes before the much larger Grimes County site is built. 

Construction site activity for the Austin research fab has been confirmed, with earthwork and foundation preparation observed as of April 2026. However, the massive $119 billion facility in Grimes County has not yet broken ground. A public hearing is scheduled for June 3, 2026, to consider a property tax abatement agreement, which is a critical step for the project to move forward.

While pilot production at the Austin site is targeted for late 2026, full-scale, high-volume production at the main Terafab facility is likely years away, with most analysts skeptical it will be operational within the next two years.

.

Intel Partnership: A Key to Terafab’s Feasibility
A critical development for Terafab’s credibility is its partnership with Intel. In April 2026, Intel announced it would join the project, bringing its much-needed chip manufacturing expertise. Musk confirmed that Terafab will use Intel’s upcoming 14A (1.4-nanometer) process technology to produce its chips. 

 This partnership is a major win for Intel, marking its first significant external commitment for its foundry business, and caused Intel’s stock to surge. 

This collaboration suggests that Musk is not attempting to build a fab from scratch alone. Instead, he is leveraging Intel’s established processes and engineering knowledge. The 14A node is seen as a “make-or-break” moment for Intel’s foundry ambitions, and Terafab provides a guaranteed, high-volume customer.

However, the maturity of Intel’s 14A technology is still developing. While yields for the 18A node are improving, the 14A node, which relies on the new High-NA EUV lithography, is still contingent on securing major customers and achieving commercial-grade yields

.

ASML Machine Procurement: A Major Hurdle
The procurement of essential manufacturing equipment, particularly EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography machines from ASML, remains a significant challenge. 

 ASML is the sole global supplier of these machines, which cost nearly half a billion dollars each and have a multi-year backlog. According to an analysis by Tom’s Hardware, the scale of Terafab would require thousands of lithography tools. At ASML’s current production rate, it would take 70 years to equip Terafab with the necessary scanners for logic production alone. 

This bottleneck makes the initial $20-$25 billion estimate for the Austin facility more plausible, as it would require a much smaller number of machines. However, it casts serious doubt on the feasibility of the $119 billion vision in the near term.

There is speculation that Musk may be exploring ways to bypass this bottleneck, potentially through new partnerships or alternative technologies, but no concrete plans have been confirmed.

.

TSMC’s U.S. Expansion: Progress Amid Challenges
While Musk’s project is in its infancy, TSMC has made substantial progress with its own U.S. expansion. The company’s first fab in Phoenix, Arizona, began high-volume production of 4-nanometer chips in late 2024. The facility has reportedly achieved yield rates that are higher than its comparable factories in Taiwan, a significant technical milestone. 

TSMC has committed a total of $165 billion to its Arizona project, which will eventually include six fabs, four advanced packaging facilities, and a research center. 
This expansion has not been without challenges. The project faced significant delays, cost overruns, and a shortage of skilled labor, requiring TSMC to bring over 1,000 engineers from Taiwan to train the local workforce.

The second fab, which will produce 3-nanometer chips, is now on track for production in 2028, and the third fab is being built to produce 2-nanometer and A16 technology by the end of the decade. This effort is a cornerstone of the U.S. government’s strategy to diversify the global semiconductor supply chain.

.

TSMC Arizona vs. Taiwan: A Capacity and Timeline Gap
While TSMC’s Arizona facility is operational and producing advanced chips, it is not yet on par with the company’s capabilities in Taiwan. The most advanced 2-nanometer process technology is expected to enter mass production in Taiwan in 2026, with the Arizona facility following several years later, likely in 2027 or 2028. 

 This delay is due to the time required to transfer the most sensitive and cutting-edge manufacturing processes and to fully scale up the local ecosystem. 

Furthermore, the scale of TSMC’s operations in Taiwan is unmatched. The company’s Fab 18 in Tainan has a capacity of over one million wafers per month, a level of output that the Arizona cluster will take many years to approach. While the Arizona fabs are a strategic success for geographic diversification, Taiwan remains the undisputed center of TSMC’s most advanced R&D and manufacturing, ensuring its “silicon shield” for the foreseeable future.

Which is why PDT is playing it the way he is. Every move or non-move he makes is calculated and stands as the antithesis of those positions of the Dems, RINOs and DS.

Sir ES

Two additional points:

First, Q:

“There is a war on for your DNA.”
“Protect your DNA.”

It’s extraordinarily important, from the ‘40,000 ft’ view.

Second:

It was GHWB, in the early 90’s, who promised to Russia (Putin) that NATO wouldn’t expand eastward.

FF to today, NATO encroached all the way to the 900-mile border separating – by a thin, conceptual line – UKR from RUS.

The Bushes (Scherffs) are 100% NWO.

RFK Jr. addressed this as well, back in July 2023. He brought up a topic that I have covered extensively, which is all the biolabs in Ukraine and Taiwan, which are collecting Russian and Chinese ethnic DNA, to which we can create viruses that target individuals based on specific sequences in their DNA. This is not some kooky tinfoil hat stuff.

Genome-specific, or “ethnic” biological weapons are real, it’s been a central theme in the global geopolitical landscape for years, and both Russia and China want control of their ethnic lineage for this exact reason.

______________

How are they going to have ‘control over their ethnic lineage’? The criminal governments of the West already have all of that DNA, and even if they didn’t, they could get it whenever they wanted, from as many people as they wanted, of any ethnic group.

And we can be sure CCP chyna and Russia have done the same.

At least one of the big companies that people send their DNA to in order to discover their family tree was bought by Blackstone, so now they have ALL the DNA data now, and what they do with it is anybody’s guess.

But it’s interesting to discuss ‘control of their ethnic lineage for this exact reason’.

Are white people allowed to even want to have ‘control of their ethnic lineage’, or is that rayciss?

Aubergine

The truth is, everybody’s DNA is in the wind now.

The cops have arrested perpetrators based on DNA matches with relatives whose DNA was on a website.

They don’t need YOUR DNA if they have your second cousin Bubba’s. His DNA is close enough to yours to find you.

I can’t worry about it anymore. It’s like my social security number. I can’t worry about that either. When I first moved to Montana in the early 90’s, they used it as my driver’s license number!

I’m going to live my life and let stuff like that go. I have to, otherwise I’ll worry myself into an early grave.

This is not some kooky tinfoil hat stuff.

I hypothesized this as soon as I heard there were multiple biolabs in Ukraine in the disputed eastern areas. But allow me to relate how our Creator gave us part of the solution. He scattered the Ten Lost Tribes and wiped their memory of their heritage. He had the Jews retain their knowledge and language as custodians of the timeline.

Why did He do this? One possibility is what I call the Hide in Plain Sight design. By wiping their memories of their heritage, they wouldn’t make targets of themselves – thus allowing the Hebrew genetic material to hide in the gentile chromosomes when they interbred with the gentiles.

[there’s several side effects to this which don’t need to be explored here – suffice it to say that one is a direct connection to the 12 gates in Revelations]

This made it possible for Yeshua to do one of his many missions here – re-assembling the Hebrew nation into 12 Tribes [foretold in Ezekial 36 forward].

DNA is the key to all life on planet Earth. Hebrew DNA [from the 12 Tribes] is what allowed Yeshua to recognize certain people as belonging to the Father.

Fauci is The Accuser’s chief deputy. Arrogant and evil beyond belief, he is willing to take God’s design [of DNA] and use it to make a weapon and to play god.

We are more likely to see Satan at the Heaven Banquet table than Fauci.

“First, this was the easiest bill to pass in the history of Congress. Everyone is for it- Republican voters, Democrat voters, independents, white voters, black voters, Latino voters- literally, EVERYONE.

Yet with the GOP controlling both houses of Congress, and knowing Democrats rig and cheat like the rest of us breathe air, the GOP Senate refused to pass it.
What a disgrace.

It’s not a disgrace, it’s a betrayal, both of the People and of the Constitution, and every single one of them must be primaried and punished into oblivion.

When they beg for mercy, make the screws tighter.

In 2023 Newsom was given a bill to sign that would have required private insurers to cover hearing aids for children. Many other states require insurers to cover them. According to NY Post, Newsom vetoed the bill and decided instead to have the state provide the hearing aids. The result was $23 million spent on hearing aids for 300 people. About $76,000 a person. About 20,000 children in CA still need hearing aids. Well done Gavin.

Finally caught up with some reading here to be at today’s post!

Hubby went Up North for the weekend to open up The Cottage before Memorial Day & boy am I glad he did. He intended to get the water system operational, light the hot water heater, & also the pilot light on the furnace.

Last Fall, rather late in hunting season, he also single-handedly closed up The Cottage for the Winter (I’d handled the outside water lines but he did the rest). We’d used the place into Hunting Season so that I could support my daughter’s hunting efforts as hunting camp is about an hour away from The Cottage vs 3 hours from home.

Anyway, once he buttoned things up yesterday he turned on the water pump & discovered multiple line breakages–oh my. Ultimately he sourced each one of the breaks & commenced repairs. I believe he said there were Seven Breaks in all–Crazy. He’s not sure what he missed in the Fall that lead to these hassles in the Spring because fixing all those leaks was a pretty big hassle.

One nice thing is that he’d brought some type of chemical pipe joiner to The Cottage after discovering its handiness while working on some pipes in our home. This bonding agent replaces (or at least supplements) having to solder the pipes, which can be a pain.

I asked him if it took him back to our early marriage when we lived at The Cottage & he said it did. We were coming back from Christmas downstate with my family & about a mile from “home” (when we lived there with our then 1 month old firstborn). Michael was driving & I commented on the Winter road conditions & suggested he slow down a bit. He made some comment about being fine when we completely spun out on the ice & he got the car stuck in a snowbank on the other side of the road after doing at least a 180. Compounding the event our dog completely freaked out from the back of the station wagon & dragged her released anal glands across 2 rows of seats, so gross 🙁

Some passing snowmobiliers offered to help thankfully as it was about 3 am at the time. So my baby & I along with my purse got a ride “home” & someone else brought Michael & I think the dog trotted alongside. When we got inside The Cottage we turned the water pump on & water started gushing from the ceiling in the kitchen!

It was a pretty big ordeal overall & most of the managing it fell on my young hubby’s shoulders. He woke up our neighbor to help him dig out our car from the snowbank & to change the tire. He then tried to localize where the leak was coming from & ended up tearing off some of the kitchen ceiling tiles to stick his head up in the rafters with me turning the water pump on & off until he could figure out where the actual breaks were as I believe there were several.

Fortunately there were some pipe clamps & Styrofoam type wrap insulation that he could use to temporarily patch the problems to get us through the night. He ended up missing work the next day as he spent many hours on the repairs that have thankfully held more than 3 decades now. We still have some water stains & missing kitchen ceiling tiles to tell just a bit of that tale of woe…& now he’s got another chapter to expound on. 🙂

I’m so thankful he so thoughtfully decided to open the place up this weekend so that my pregnant daughter, granddaughter, & I weren’t bombarded with that major “disaster” to correct. At least we’re only one lot back from the lake so we can use buckets of water in a pinch for toilets & handwashing…but yikes.

God is good & still gets us through. Hubby was thankful for his plumbing hassles at home that lead to him having that most helpful chemical joiner now at The Cottage when he really needed it. Kind of a bit like David handling the lion & the bear as prep for Goliath!

pgroup2

Just a small point about water systems in dwellings. Tap pressure does not have to be 90 psi [routine pressure in city systems]. You can get decent water flow at 30 psi and maybe even lower.

Valerie Curren

At The Cottage, which is on well water with an electric pump in an exterior pump house, there is a gauge that goes to about 40psi when the system is full 🙂

TradeBait2

40 PSI is the desired residential pressure for our utility district supplied water.

Valerie Curren

Very interesting. I have no idea what pressures apply where we live.

Today is the one year anniversary of my mom’s death…

Last Saturday most of the MI family & my brother who lives in OK gathered at little bro’s house on the lake to celebrate my dad’s 87th B-Day & OK bro’s 60th. It was good to be together but also bittersweet as Dad is struggling with memory & cancer issues.

I presented an Ivermectin & FenBen/Mebendazole & supplements proposal to help treat Dad’s cancer but don’t know if he’s decided to go that route. He had an MRI scheduled last Monday which was cancelled as was a PET scan I hadn’t been told about as Dad has decided he doesn’t want further testing.

We’re all adjusting to the “new normal” & thankful that little bro’s house on the lake has a nice view to the West so Dad can enjoy sunsets over water most evenings.

I’d still appreciate prayers for Dad’s health & wisdom as we move forward. Blessings  💔 

patfrederick

I know how you are feeling. Mom is dealing with memory issues and now terminal cancer too. Make the most of every moment with your Dad, so he feels loved not pitied and concentrate on making the most of the time you have. I told my kids…time is short–make it COUNT–you won’t regret it.
you, your family and especially your dad are always in my prayers Val!

Valerie Curren

TY Pat for these wise words & prayers. Hope your mom continues to hang tough!

Dad didn’t seem interested in a possible lesser intensive intervention of an endoscopic stent (?) that could be placed to widen the narrowing where the tumor is encroaching on his esophagus which might make it a bit easier for him to swallow. He’s said he’s perhaps open to the alternative approaches but is currently mostly refusing supplements & just taking (most of?) his prescribed meds.

I’m hoping my daughter & I can get there before the holiday weekend & am also hopeful that Dad Might decide to come Up North to The Cottage to visit a place rife with lifelong memories & a chance to visit with his sister, who’s 90 in Dec, a bit…

Thank you so much for the update.
Lots of things on the plate for your family.
I understand about today being an “anniversary day” for you and yours.
Fingers crossed that your father decides to try the IVM route.
i hope the lines of communication from your siblings to you not only remains open, but increases as time goes on.
Please, take care of yourself.

Valerie Curren

TY PAVACA it’s rather a bit surreal.

My bro & SIL are doing Amazing Work with my dad but it takes nearly all of their energy. They are quite protective of him especially since he seems to have some type of sundowner’s. They don’t want him to be exposed to difficult topics too much as it can increase his confusion. He doesn’t want to talk on the phone & so face-to-face is really the only way right now. It was so good to see him with the family last weekend. He still loves the craziness & really enjoyed the silly story-telling 🙂

Some of the family dynamics are compounded by unstated things being done at/to his house. It’s hard to know how/when to talk about these things frankly with others.

I’m trying to pace myself a bit. While Hubby is out of town I’ve brought things in, some of which were my mother’s, from the car where they’ve been “stored” for some weeks. I’m trying to organize, consolidate, & then put them away before Michael comes home tomorrow. It’s necessary work & easier to do on my own puttering along timeline…

I appreciate your sensitivity especially since you have a number of well-trod grief pathways & your resilience & compassion are such an inspiration–God Bless!

Gail Combs

Present the Sibs with a  “Ivermectin & FenBen/Mebendazole & supplements” Kit Include the safety info and perhaps other info.

It will be a lot harder to say NO, I rather let him die, that way.

Valerie Curren

That’s a good idea. I did do a write up with some info for consideration at least.

Val’s proposal for her Dad’s cancer treatment

Here is the final summation of a Grok discussion trying to find reasonable cancer protocols to
help Dad to get better. Hope this is workable for all!

Bottom Line, please put together a chart at low dose, medium dose, & high dose for these
alternate protocols, including the medicines that the elderly man is taking & include ratings &
other important details (like take with fatty food or on an empty stomach), also include
recommended intervals for safety checks like for liver or kidney issues for example.

Bottom Line Summary Chart for Alternative Protocols Patient Profile: Elderly man (80s)
with esophageal cancer on Eliquis (apixaban), Cholecalciferol (Vit D3), Zoloft (sertraline),
Desyrel (trazodone), Carafate (sucralfate), Flomax, Simethicone, and topical steroids
(Desonide/Kenalog prn).
Critical Notes:
All protocols are experimental/off-label for cancer. Evidence is mostly preclinical +
anecdotal/observational. No proven cures.
Eliquis bleeding risk is the top concern — avoid or use extreme caution with curcumin,
berberine, quercetin.
Carafate: Separate all oral agents by at least 2 hours.
Esophageal issues: Prefer liquids, powders in shakes, or IV routes. Focus on QoL and
nutrition.
General: Start one agent at a time, very low dose. Physician supervision (oncologist +
geriatrician + integrative) mandatory. Monitor for bleeding, sedation (Zoloft + Desyrel),
GI upset, and frailty.
Ratings (1–5): Safety considers interactions with current meds + age; Effectiveness is relative
(none score high as standalone cures).
Summary Comparison Table
(see separate sheet)
Additional Supportive Elements
Ketogenic or modified low-glucose diet: Texture-adapted (liquids/shakes). Challenging
with esophageal cancer but aligns with all protocols. Monitor nutrition (albumin, weight)
weekly initially.
Liver Support (if using Fenben/IVM): TUDCA 500–1000 mg/day (with fatty meal).
Debris Clearance: Serrapeptase (empty stomach) — caution with Eliquis (bleeding risk).

  • Overall Prioritization for This Patient
  • 1. Safest starting options: High-Dose Melatonin (low end) + IV Vitamin C (if accessible)
  • + very low-dose Fenbendazole (Tippens-style).
  • 2. Moderate: McCullough IVM + Mebendazole (structured, lower doses).
  • 3. Higher risk / later consideration: Full metabolic cocktails or high-dose Fenben + IVM
  • combos.
  • Recommended Safety Checks (General):
  • Baseline: Full liver panel (ALT/AST/ALP/bilirubin), kidney (eGFR/creatinine), CBC,
  • coagulation/bleeding time if indicated.
  • Initial phase (first 4–6 weeks): Liver + kidney every 2–3 weeks.
  • Ongoing: Every 4–6 weeks if stable, or more frequently if dose increases or symptoms
  • appear.
  • Daily monitoring: Signs of bleeding (bruising, dark stools, blood in urine), excessive
  • sedation, GI worsening, confusion, or weight loss.
  • Final Bottom Line: For an 80s patient on Eliquis with esophageal cancer, focus on low-dose,
  • minimal-intervention options (especially IV Vitamin C and cautious melatonin) under close
  • medical supervision. Higher-dose or multi-drug combinations significantly increase risks (liver
  • stress, bleeding, polypharmacy) while offering only anecdotal/unproven benefits. Prioritize
  • standard palliative care, nutrition, and quality of life.
  • This is not medical advice. All decisions must be made with his full care team after reviewing
  • labs and individual risks. Outcomes vary widely and none of these protocols are guaranteed to
  • help.

Additional info on Supplements for Dad
Alternative Protocols for Elderly Man (80s) with Esophageal Cancer
Current Meds: Eliquis (apixaban), Vitamin D3, Zoloft, Desyrel, Carafate, Flomax, Simethicone, topical
steroids. Key Rules: Separate all orals from Carafate by ≥2 hours. Start one agent at a time, very low &
slow. Physician supervision mandatory. Focus on QoL, nutrition, and palliative care.
Common Supportive Supplements Across Protocols
Liver Protection: TUDCA (500–1000 mg/day, with fatty meal) — strongly recommended with
Fenben/IVM.
Dead Cell Clearance: Serrapeptase (120,000 SPU, empty stomach, 1–2×/day) or Pectasol (modified
citrus pectin).
Anti-inflammatory / Pathway Support: Curcumin (bioavailable), Quercetin, Medicinal Mushrooms
(Reishi, Maitake, Turkey Tail 500 mg each).
Others (Tippens-inspired): Vitamin E (400–800 IU mixed), CBD oil (25 mg).
General: Magnesium, high-quality fish oil (caution with Eliquis), continued Vitamin D3.
Ketogenic / Low-Glucose Diet: Texture-modified (shakes, liquids) — recommended across all protocols to
support metabolic targeting.
Bottom Line Recommendations for This Patient
Safest Low-Dose Starting Stack (if pursuing adjunctively):
1. High-Dose Melatonin (10–20 mg nightly)
2. IV Vitamin C (clinic-based)
3. Low-dose Fenbendazole (222 mg, 3 on/4 off) + TUDCA
Moderate: Add McCullough IVM + Mebendazole (structured). Higher Risk: Full metabolic blocker cocktails
or high-dose Fenben + IVM.
Essential Safety Protocol:
Baseline: Liver panel, kidney function, CBC, G6PD (for IVC).
First 4–8 weeks: Liver + kidney labs every 2–3 weeks.
Ongoing: Every 4–6 weeks if stable.
Daily Watch: Bleeding/bruising, sedation, GI worsening, confusion, appetite/weight changes.
 Final Important Note: This chart compiles all discussed protocols and supplements for quick reference. All
uses remain experimental with limited evidence for esophageal cancer. Risks (especially bleeding on Eliquis
and liver stress) may outweigh unproven benefits in advanced age. Prioritize standard palliative care, nutrition,
and quality of life.
This is not medical advice. Consult his full care team (oncologist, geriatrician, integrative physician) with
current labs before considering any changes.

Sorry the format within the spoiler got a bit wonky 🙁

If it is vitamins and OTC herbs (Milk Thistle) and 2 drugs with very high safety profiles that can be used WITH chemo, there is ZERO reason not to try.

TradeBait2

Keto type nutrition is a great way to go IMO. No more cravings for sugar or processed carb based foods. No desire for late evening snacks. The bad weight came off, energy increased, sleep improved. even my pollen related allergy issues have improved. No more antihistamines, just a squirt of Flonase and I’m good to go all day.

Gail Combs

Definitely like keto. Just had Eggplant Lasagna. My house guest (nephew of my friend) just ate 3/4 of it a couple days ago and then asked for more.

As a hypoglycemic since a teen, I try to stay on a Keto diet so I avoid Type 11 Diabetes. It has worked so far even though I fall of the wagon on occasion.

Valerie Curren

Wow this is a Great find! TY so much!!!

Edit: I’ve passed it along to the family & found the treatment could potentially overlap proposed protocols for my dad outlined in another comment today:

https://www.theqtree.com/2026/05/16/2026-05-16-simply-saturday/#comment-1611739

From the link you shared:

Dementia & Alzheimer’s Disease Cure ProtocolFenbendazole 150mg every other day with dinner for 30 days, and repeat every 4 monthsIvermectin 12mg every evening with dinner indefinitelyLow dose lithium orotate 4.8mg capsule in the morning with breakfast and in the evening with dinner indefinitelyImmunX immune support 2 capsules in the morning with breakfast indefinitely (Quercetin is a critical ingredient in ImmunX, and as per research studies similar to Ivermectin it displayed capabilities against tauopathy by inhibiting the hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein, thus its anti-prion activity helps to reverse Alzheimer’s Disease)Removal of sugars and carbohydrates, and replacing table sugar with a zero glycemic index, zero calorie, keto friendly rare sugar like AlluXCreatine Monohydrate 4 x 500mg capsules every evening with dinner indefinitelyMethyl B-12 1 x 1,000mcg daily on empty stomach (water-soluble vitamins are better absorbed without food interference)

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

Verse of the Day for Saturday, May 16, 2026

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”

Psalms 12:6 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 12

The psalmist begs help of God, because there were none among men whom he durst trust.

– This psalm furnishes good thoughts for bad times; a man may comfort himself with such meditations and prayers. Let us see what makes the times bad, and when they may be said to be so. Ask the children of this world, What makes the times bad? they will tell you, Scarcity of money, decay of trade, and the desolations of war, make the times bad: but the Scripture lays the badness of the times on causes of another nature, #2Ti 3:1, &c.|: perilous times shall come, for sin shall abound; and of this David complains. When piety decays times really are bad. He who made man’s mouth will call him to an account for his proud, profane, dissembling, or even useless words. When the poor and needy are oppressed, then the times are very bad. God himself takes notice of the oppression of the poor, and the sighing of the needy. When wickedness abounds, and is countenanced by those in authority, then the times are very bad. See with what good things we are here furnished for such bad times; and we cannot tell what times we may be reserved for. 1. We have a God to go to, from whom we may ask and expect the redress of all our grievances. 2. God will certainly punish and restrain false and proud men. 3. God will work deliverance for his oppressed people. His help is given in the fittest time. Though men are false, God is faithful; though they are not to be trusted, God is. The preciousness of God’s word is compared to silver refined to the highest degree. How many proofs have been given of its power and truth! God will secure his chosen remnant, however bad the times are. As long as the world stands, there will be a generation of proud and wicked men. But all God’s people are put into the hands of Christ our Saviour; there they are in safety, for none can pluck them thence; being built on Him, the Rock, they are safe, notwithstanding temptation or persecution come with ever so much force upon 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.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! Michelle and I are packing up to head home after a terrifically encouraging conservative conference in the nation’s capital. I’ll write more about it on Monday. For now, in this morning’s quick-hitting traveling roundup: the Wall Street Journal’s stunning revelation —at long last— that the federal government may, in fact, have lied to us about covid, a discovery requiring only five additional years of investigation beyond the timeline used by the rest of us; how Virginia Democrats achieved the rare distinction of losing the same case in three separate courthouses, the last of which dismissed them in a single sentence and didn’t bother to explain why; how the Trump Administration discreetly added Nigeria, Colombia, and Cuba to its growing collection of hemispheric satellite offices —with arrests, extraditions, and possible indictments of nonagenarian communists— while the corporate media squinted at China; and the long-awaited freedom of Tina Peters, granted by a Democrat governor who appears to have finally located a weather vane.

Nah, nuthin’s happenin’.

Most folks honestly believe that AI is recent phenomenon. They do not realize some federal agencies and military work on things decades before they are released for commercial development.

As Ferguson points out it was a planned, natural progression to incorporate AI into the federal government’s operating system as DOGE did their work. Which is why so many CEO’s and top brass from major tech companies joined the DOGE team early on. Use of AI greatly reduces the opportunity for fraud before it happens – the old “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” approach. While that is underway and being implemented, a similar AI type application has been used to gather evidence for law enforcement and DOJ on the existing and previous fraudsters. Any clawback of funds will net some, but not to the extent that prevention can do.

Also, over time AI will eliminate millions of fake, make work jobs at the federal and states levels. The American workforce is going through a retooling phase whether people like it or not. The more you know, the more you will be able to spot any abuse that develops from it.

Trump Walked Into China and Killed Kissinger’s Thucydides Trap

Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump’s May 14 post responding to Xi Jinping’s remarks about the “Thucydides Trap,” arguing media coverage framed the U.S. as declining while Trump asserted America’s renewed strength.

She says the summit’s real significance was Trump bringing an unprecedented delegation of top U.S. CEOs into the bilateral meeting and including the Defense Secretary, breaking a post-1972 pattern. Kokinda highlights Trump raising denuclearization directly with Xi and rejecting war-driven “geopolitical trigger points,” including on Taiwan, emphasizing avoiding a distant war.

She contends the Thucydides Trap concept popularized by Graham Allison is British-influenced “fake history” that obscures imperial manipulation, and claims Trump is dismantling that paradigm by reviving the American System—tariffs, manufacturing, and energy independence.

AWESOME! President Trump has infuriated Democrats again by fixing the old, BROKEN floor of the walkway to the Oval Office — going from full-blown dilapidated to glossy and HIGH QUALITY

This is what having a builder-in-chief looks like.

Yours Truly just returned from a belated Mother’s Day tea party at a local hotel near Duke University. Missing from the group was my BIL-by-Marriage. He’s been having some real trouble since he — literally — ONE injection of Wegovy (semaglutide) two months ago, on his doctor’s “advice”, to lose weight. BILbyM started on the Wegovy because he was getting frustrated due to not losing weight by non-drug means (smaller meals, eating more protein and vegetables, walking more, etc.)

The trouble started almost immediately — intense nausea, etc. BILbyM stopped the shots. The doctor felt that things would settle down after a few weeks.

Nope. BILbyM hasn’t been able to eat a real meal for almost 2 months now. He nibbles at food. He wants to eat, but apparently his gut signals “no.” He’s been back to the doctor several times to try and get the issue fixed. Nothing is helping. And the nausea is apparently 24/7. And he’s very tired after exertion.

Now the doctor wants BILbyM to have a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks.

I told BILbyM that these GLP1 drugs can interfere with the normal “crosstalk” between the gut and the brain (the gut-brain axis.) I said to look this up on the internet and to talk with his doctor about it.

The effects that Wegovy and Ozempic have on the gut-brain axis, IMO, can also be “intertwined” with the destruction of the natural RNA in the body’s Uridine from the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Natural Uridine (and its RNA) is produced in the gut. Natural Uridine assists in the regulation of dozens of body functions, from digesting food to learning, memory, and mood regulation. If Yours Truly is correct, BILbyM has taken at least six shots of these “vaccines” since early 2021.

Fingers crossed that he can get this situation taken care of without surgery.

Valerie Curren

I’m sorry for your BIL’s woes. I went to a new doc for a required physical to keep our health insurance costs down. This doc, knowing virtually nothing about me except Type II (eleven  😉   😉 ) Diabetes & my size & he starts pressuring me to take one of those type of drugs (GLPs) w/ zero discussion of the dangers. That was a hard pass for me.

I hope your BIL doesn’t have permanent digestive issues. There is no free lunch & those GLP drugs seem to be billed as easy weight loss, but at what actual cost?  😡   😡   😡 

PAVACA

Guess what?
These GLP1 drugs can now be used to treat EMOTIONAL / PSYCHOLOGICAL issues in addition to “losing weight” and “managing Type II diabetes.”

Their use to treat emotional / psychological issues means that GLP1 drugs will now be pushed as an “alternative prescription therapy drug” to SSRIs / SNRIs.

Which means two things:
One, that Establishment Medicine is starting to seriously wake up regarding the complex interaction / “crosstalk” between the gut and the brain (the gut-brain axis.)
Two, that Establishment Medicine is going to try and manipulate / interfere with, this complex interaction / “crosstalk” using GLP1 prescription drugs.

😱 I wonder if they think the weight issues have a bearing on psychological issues and are trying to kill two birds with one stone. I doubt that a very slender, depressed person would be a candidate for the GLP1 drugs.

FWIW, I found taking iodine (or making sure to use iodized salt or good multimineral type salt) made a heck of a lot of difference on my weight lost attempts.

ALSO OTC pain killers can make you feel hungry when you really should not eat.

Gail Combs

Ibuprofen is really bad for that.

I’m sorry for him and hope it can be remedied. I would suggest a more “natural” doctor but realize that some people aren’t open to that and some want/need a doctor who takes their insurance.

One shot…one shot of that stuff. Shaking my head. It reminds me of the COVID shots. Some people had immediate bad reactions, but others didn’t. In any case IMO they can’t be good for people.

Pet goats save trapped family after killer tornado with winds reaching 200 mph demolishes their home

It’s unbaaaa-lievable.

After a powerful tornado barreled through Enid, Okla., on April 23, the Sloat family was trapped beneath the earth in their storm shelter under tons of debris when they were suddenly rescued — by their two pet goats.

“They saved us,” Adam Sloat, 53, told The Post. “No doubt about it.”

cont

:end.

My daughter and I could have sworn that we heard goat noises, and I thought there’s no way,” Sloat said.

Against all odds, Percy and Penny had survived, and the four-legged heroes stomped, bleated and refused to budge from where the family and friends sat, buried alive.

“The rescuers had no idea where we were but Percy and Penny knew,” laughed Sloat. “They stood right over us and kept up a steady stream of noise until the emergency people came over and started removing the bricks.”

The Sloat family and their neighbors was eventually pulled to safety.

WATCH: Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen Breaks Down CRYING on Live TV After Dropping Reelection Bid Over Redistricting

Longtime Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen announced Friday he is abandoning his reelection campaign after Tennessee Republicans redrew congressional maps in a way that dismantled his heavily blue 9th District and then broke down crying during a live television interview that same night.

I understand being disappointed about having to retire when you weren’t planning on it. That said, he’s 76 and has been in Congress for 20 years.

Cohen, who has represented Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District since 2007, appeared on NewsNation’s “CUOMO” with host Chris Cuomo.

As the interview concluded, the 76-year-old congressman became visibly emotional, shedding tears as he reflected on the end of his nearly 20-year career in Congress.

…Cohen replied, “What the Republicans did, and the Democrats did a little bit in response, is to try to get an advantage this year, mid-decade.

What Repubs are doing is erasing part of the unfair advantage Dems have had for decades. It’s tough when the shoe is on the other foot.

Cohen blamed the mid-decade redistricting directly on political pressure from President Trump, claiming the Republican governor complied with Trump’s request for an extra GOP seat because he was term-limited and seeking a future appointment in a Trump administration.

But Dems have never done anything like that, right? They don’t take advantage of an opportunity when they see one, and they don’t play politics to their own advantage. 🙄

Cohen began to cry…

“You’re crying because you know what your service meant to that community, and that they needed it, especially in that state, and it was taken, and was unfair…

Funny how lawfare used by the Dems is never unfair. Neither are stealing elections and trying to destroy a political opponent’s life, when Dems do it.

“I’ve got a great district, wonderful people. They’ve supported me so well,” Cohen told Cuomo. “You know, it’s an amazing thing that the African-American community supported me for 20 years as they did. And the Republicans don’t see it, and they just tear it apart because they have no perspective of caring about African-Americans or caring about people getting together and anything nice that happens. It’s a tough sport, and they play it tough.”

Repubs are finally, in some cases, playing tough. And it’s about time. Dems run roughshod over anyone in their way, and have for decades.

As for having “no perspective of caring about African-Americans,” the level of race fatigue out here is staggering. I would be happy if I never heard about the “community” again, unless someone started a program, nationwide, to promote civilized behavior, honesty, decorum, and patriotism. I would be interested in seeing progress in those areas.
