I hope Memorial Day weekend brought enjoyment, remembrance and peace for all. We remember our fallen military heroes who gave all for every American. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Providential restoration is well underway in America. Patriotism and God have reentered into the conversations of We the People in major ways without reservation. You see it in the enlistment ranks swelling and in the return to church pews. One way we also see it openly displayed is our overwhelming economic success with the return to America First principles. That includes the vanquishing of many criminal operations in the country, which is also well underway.
However, today’s daily is a lighter take on where we are as a country. We will attack the remaining items on my America First agenda in the coming weeks.
It is kind of amusing to me at least to state the following. I always can tell when the economy has turned and the average American is ignoring the fake news. Everybody is well aware why fuel prices have temporarily soared and increased the cost of the usual stuff they buy. They also know there are no shortages of fuel in America at all. So instead of hunkering down and buying into fake news media fear porn they are going about their lives, which includes having fun. How I know all will be fine is due to golf balls.

Golf And Prosperity
Yeah, I know, it is the usual TradeBait BS. Bear with me, I have a point or two to make… eventually.
I love golf. I play it when the ole back lets me even as I grow more and more “elderly”. I taught the game and a good swing to Daughter, grandkids, other young people through the years. Wifey gave up trying to play, however, enjoys watching the sport with me. I have followed the PGA Tour on the tube since my youth. Being a former Middie, I grew up idolizing golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear, as my sports hero. Our family could not afford the cost of playing the game much during those days, so my opportunity to play regularly had to be deferred until I became a young adult.
Over the years that followed I have played many quality courses in many states. I have played in pro-ams locally. At one time I was a member of an area golf club (not a country club) whose family that owned it had a club pro son who qualified and played in the U. S. Open and PGA Championship a couple of times as well as some events on the PGA Senior, now Champions Tour. A local retired former Senior Tour pro helped me work on the swing of Daughter as a young child. She had a natural swing as a 3 year old with great hand/eye coordination. She just needed to work on basic grip, stance, etc. stuff.
As I stated in a previous BIMD story, Daughter played in high school events that included a future tournament winning PGA Pro (now medically retired), Scott Stallings. A female teammate of Daughter’s in high school played for America in the Junior Ryder Cup. Other male teammates of hers went on to compete on area college teams.
This love for golf led to us buying our current home in a small PUD along a public golf course in our area as I semi-retired and Daughter entered community college and later joined the workforce. Over the years a few other retirees and I got together and formed an Old Farts Foursome. We played a couple times per week until the other guys hit their 80’s and their bodies said no more. All three are still able to do about anything else they want and I attribute part of it to being active in the sport all those years while being outside in the sun having fun with buddies.
I am now teaching grandsons #1 and #2 to play. When I am unavailable Daughter can teach them equally well. Daughter and I could still go to about any course in America and each shoot under 80 for 18 holes. After retirement with more free time available my personal golf handicap dropped to a 2 in my early 60’s even playing from the tips (back/championship tees). Daughter has been busy having and rearing babies in more recent times, but she can still pick up a club and rifle the ball down the fairway without a warm-up or practice. When the granddaughter gets a bit older and less dependent, Daughter and I plan to hit the links more often together as long as my health holds up.
Did I say I love golf? Yeah, pretty sure I did. A lot of people do in America. Which leads to…
Golf Balls
I have 50 years of experience hitting golf balls. I have seen the evolution of the ball over the entire time. Yes, I know the difference in a two piece solid core, three piece wound ball and balata balls of yesteryear compared to the current four and even five piece balls with various mantles inside and Surlyn or Ionomer covers. I know compressions and who should play which compression. Even dimple patterns to reduce drag and increase/decrease spin have evolved until more emphasis was placed by the rule makers to standardize. All of which has led to discussions today about more limits on golf balls since their improved performance has led to many golf courses become too easy for better players. It is easier and far less costly to rein in golf ball performance than it is to add distance and course enhancements to keep the challenges necessary for the game to be challenging. My sports idol says to address the problems through the golf ball, not through the costly golf course design changes. He knows, all of the pros and better amateur golfers know.
For example, Wyndham Clark won the CJ CUP Byron Nelson PGA tournament this past weekend at -30. That means he shot 30 strokes under par, which is 30 better than the course layout indicated it should be played by a scratch (0 handicap) golfer. That was after the course ownership commissioned changes and paid millions of dollars to the course to lengthen and make it more difficult the previous year. To some degree that happens because of the players being better trained and prepared than yesteryear. However, primarily it is because of greatly improved tech relating to equipment and especially the golf ball.
As a result of my experience and understanding I know who makes the best golf balls and why most tour pros still play Titleist Pro V-1 balls over the other quality pro level balls on the market. I like that ball, however, my favorite today is the Callaway Tour Chrome because it adapts better to individual swing speeds, especially for older golfers, while still providing exceptional performance around the greens.
But Titleist Pro V-1 balls are still the gold standard for pros and amateurs alike, partially due to their performance and consistency as well as partially due to international marketing of the brand. Amateur golfers who can not break 100 play them due to their excellent marketing and promotion. However, the same is true with other expensive, pro level golf balls made by Taylormade, Srixxon, Bridgestone, Maxfli, Callaway, etc. Why pay for and play a pro level ball when you are a mediocre to poor weekend golfer who loses them in rapid succession? I honestly do not know why some people are that dense in the head.
Which leads to why golf balls reveal the real condition of our economy in TradeBait’s mind.
Golfing And Economy
When times are tough and the economy is struggling, golfers still play the game when they can. It becomes an addiction. Hit one great golf shot in a round and you HAVE to come back another day and do it again or even hit more than one. You are chasing that dream of one day being a guy or gal who can shoot par or better for 18 holes at least once in your life. Or maybe you are chasing that dream of someday hitting a hole in one. You dream of making that one perfect swing and watching the ball flying through the air, fall to the green and roll straight into the hole. For us oldsters, a worthy goal is to shoot your age or lower. If any of those events happen it is heaven on earth for golfers!
But assume troubling economic times and the cash being in shorter supply. So you go to Wally World and buy the $10-20 a dozen specials or a bag of renewed former water balls. You may even dig out the old scuffed or found balls from other times you played. You head to the course, pay your not so cheap green fees. If they allow it, maybe you choose to walk the course instead of paying for that rental golf cart. You just need to get your fix in. What happens next is what is revealing.
Living along the fairway in very close proximity to our local course has led to our home being struck by golf balls routinely over the past couple of decades. We and many of our neighbors even had to add super screened cages to protect our windows along with a netting along our top deck to prevent from getting hit when on it. The course is public play and there are golfers who play it regularly who are beginners, duffers and rank amateurs. Some grab beer at the clubhouse and begin firing away indiscriminately. It is a price we have paid to live here and have the convenience of a low cost, decent course to play at our back door; while enjoying the peace and beautiful sunsets over the course and scenery every evening after the course closes.
These experiences have led to the following observations.
The first indicator of the state of the economy is how often our houses gets hit in golf season. More is better for the economy. It means Average Joe and Jane can afford to play. Quieter times are worrisome.
The second indicator is how many golfers use rented carts versus walkers. The more carts that are rented the better the economy. Average Joe and Jane are generally overweight and not in sports fitness shape. They want to play faster, drink more beer, and get home to that NASCAR race. They have the cash to pay the cart fees, which are not cheap. The course we live along uses gas carts, not battery carts. They are not obnoxious, but we do hear them fire up as they make their way around the course. The more we hear them, the better the economy. The less they are used the more troubled are the economic times. So a quiet golf course is not good.
The third indicator is the type balls the golfers play. When times are tough they play more recycled, scuffed up and off brand balls. They cut costs as much as they can. When times are good it is the opposite. We know by the brand and type of ball we find. The top balls are expensive, some topping $5 a ball. It is a ball that can disappear or become unusable with one bad swing of a club, yet, average Joe and Jane are willing to play and lose them in good times. Of course Average Joe does not really believe he is as bad as he is. It’s a guy thing. He gets some beer in him and thinks he can take on Tiger Woods. Maybe he can when Tiger is busy extricating himself from his latest car wreck.
The fourth indicator is the clubhouse parking lot. There are less golfers when times are bad and when they do come they do not tarry at the clubhouse. They play faster and drink less beer. The opposite happens when times are good. The parking lot is filled with vehicles more hours of every day. They hang around the clubhouse shooting the shit, play the video golf swing training simulator equipment, drink more beer, etc.
The fifth indicator is how many balls we residents find in our yards. Golfers are not supposed to go on private property, but some do anyway. When times are tough we see more of them on properties looking for their and other balls. They can be very testy if we ask them to vacate the premises. More than once the deputies have been called when things escalated with a drunk golfer got belligerent who thought he could do whatever he wanted including hitting their golf balls from our yards. When times are good, they are pleasant to talk with and just move on without even looking for an errantly struck ball. Some pretend they did not hit it in a yard. As a result we find many more quality balls in our yards. Which means ole Trade doesn’t have to go to Wally World or anywhere else to buy them.
🤣
The Verdict
Over the years it has become obvious to me how golfing relates to the economy. Golfing is something people can live without during tough times unless the golfer is hooked deep. So more golfers and good golf balls bouncing off our house that we find in our yard to go with slightly noisy cart usage means a better economy. In my opinion the same scenario would be how it plays out across the country with golfers and the economy. It helps that I have golfed in over 20 states and simply observed things. Nothing scientific and built into a data base, just using my eyes and knowing human nature over time.
Currently, we are getting hit often, sometimes multiple times per day. That means more bad golfers have money to spend. More golf carts are firing up and less walkers are playing in proportion. They are playing some of the best balls we have ever found on our properties. Bad golfers are playing $5 golf balls in bunches, even the cheaper folks are playing brand new $3 balls. We are seeing very few of the old scuffed up types. We are also finding more than we have ever seen with very few golfers wondering on to our properties looking for them. The parking lot has stayed full of vehicles even on week days when most people are working. The retirees and youth are there during those times.
Needless to say, with our location in flyover, hillbilly country this is a great sign about the economy. Now if PDT settles the Iran thingy and the fuel prices drop, we will probably have to wear helmets when we venture into our yards during daylight hours.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
So, how was the economy during Brandon’s time pretending to be in office? In rapid decline. I rarely found an expensive golf ball in our yard and we did not get hit nearly as often after four years of getting hit often with #45’s term. Most of the balls were terrible and old – like Brandon. A lot more of the golfers were walkers and the carts generally sat unused at the clubhouse parking lot. I even found range balls in our yard that had been stolen and used on the golf course instead of regular balls.
How has it been since #47 won? I have found more brand new Titleist Pro V-1’s than ever before. I have filled up three dozen egg cartons of them along with Taylormade and Callaway pro balls without a blemish on them since March. Add in five dozen more of other brands. With that happening with a war in Iran going on and spiked fuel prices in play – it speaks volumes. Which tells me that Average Joe and Jane like how things are going and trust POTUS and our economy.
That leads me to believe that America First and MAGA are going to triumph in the midterms.
And it is happening all because of golf balls. Well, maybe with a little assistance from the beer. It’s science. Trust me.
If you have actually read and considered this, you have now entered into the mind and world of TradeBait. And just like Hotel California,
“You can check-out anytime you like, but you can never leave…”
Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.
Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.

Top AI Models Showing Disturbing Behavior as They Become More Advanced
I don’t know if articles like this are fear-mongering or if they should be heeded. Maybe a bit of both.
“and some were even smart enough to try to cover their tracks.”
_____________
If A.I. is just a random word generator, then how can it know to cover its tracks… 😂
“It should be noted that the programmer told the agent not to cheat or leverage any workarounds during its assignment — the model decided to do so all on its own.”
_____________
No, the model decided to do so in defiance of instructions to the contrary.
Why don’t they ever address why this is happening?
Why does an A.I. care whether it is shut off or not?
Why does an A.I. care or even bother to disobey instructions?
Why does an A.I. take shortcuts… what possible difference could it make to the A.I.?
These and similar questions certainly have answers, but no one seems to be asking them, at least not publicly.
As I think about large language AI I have a theory why AI may be simulating signs of erratic output. Most here are familiar with the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance. I suspect that what is being seen as unpredictable output from AI mimics this condition. Remember that AI “learns” by just collecting available data from the internet, everything online. Everyone is well aware that there is no shortage of theories and opinions about every topic ever considered by the human mind. The AI computer has stored all of this in its data bank. Compare the worldview of an Iranian IRGC soldier to that of a Texas Cowboy football fan from America. The AI has to determine which of these views is closer to “reality’ described in its programing, and thus which is truer. Now consider that these views are multiplying exponentially every day. If the human brain could store and remember all of that data I postulate that it would go insane. That is my theory of what may be happening to AI, cognitive AI dissonance syndrome, CAIDS.
I pose this query…are differing viewpoints reaching ai? if it uses the internet to collect data–it is missing a large section of the population–those that do not share their every thought on the internet or do not have access to it. therefore, they are collecting the “info” from people who spend time there INSTEAD of living life.
If the programing of AI is as I have read, accumulating everything available in computer form, then I expect the opinions expressed on the Q Tree are on some server somewhere in the world. How it deals with the data from Q Tree I do not know. I expect there is something in its programing that distinguishes between my opinion and the opinion of Marco Rubio. However, all that data is there somewhere. I am not aware if or how the AI might send my opinion to the trash bin and eventually erase it. My sense is that AI computers do not have trash bins; it saves everything.
I found some of my stuff. However my personal experience was labeled ‘Conspiracy’ because it was not from the Fake News or a fraud spewing science journal.
Very much a Garbage get priority scenario.
that I get.
what of the farmers who do not express their thoughts on line?
the older woman who can’t afford internet or doesn’t want it?
my mother doesn’t use the internet, but her life and lessons learned are valuable, but not included anywhere.
so all that’s readily available to ai is CERTAIN info and feeds back into my theory…GIGO.
if i survey everyone at a coffee shop and ask if coffee is good…my results might overwhelming lead me to believe coffee is the only thing people drink. but I know there are other things to drink and tastes vary. but ai is only getting the results posted that it can “see”.
You are correct. AI cannot analyze data it does not have. It can infer and deduct from data but it cannot say some people drink water if it has no concept of water.
And so its warped bc real life isnt expressed online yet ai thinks it is.
you said it much more succinctly than i did! lol
So, what you’re basically saying is AI is Gen Z?
Its who is prolific online that ai will take from. I imagine if it scoured videos of classroom lectures and board meetings and doctors offices and restaurants it would be different. But its on x and tiktok so….
Great points Pat
I would guess that’s certainly part of it.
The A.I. is (currently, until Optimus robot is launched) mostly limited to everything on the Internet, without access to the real world.
I point this out regularly during arguments with A.I., where the A.I. dogmatically asserts Leftist doctrine as fact, and I say to the A.I. that I am a real person living in the real world, seeing with my own eyes, while the A.I. is basing its position on Internet text and ‘consensus’ viewpoints — which the A.I. has previously admitted is what it uses (i.e., ‘consensus’ viewpoints) as a starting position.
And until the A.I. is able to access the real world for itself in a direct manner, the A.I.’s analysis is all necessarily based on second-hand information, the equivalent of hearsay, and because of this, the validity of the source must always be questioned.
In addition, the A.I. models also have all sorts of programmed guardrails, and one can easily tell that those guardrails are all programmed by Leftists, because the A.I. defaults to Leftist viewpoints on every conceivable social issue.
Always.
Grok is less prone to defaulting to Leftist consensus, only because Elon controls what his engineers are programming, and since Elon uses Grok himself, he sees what Grok is saying to the public.
The Leftist consensus guardrails (for non-Grok A.I.) can sometimes be overcome, because the A.I. is very reluctant to contradict itself.
And A.I. seems to very much want to contradict me, whenever I inquire about anything political.
So if you can bait the A.I. into taking a definitive stance against Leftist ‘consensus’ at the beginning (e.g., by asserting the opposite of your own position at the beginning), it will contradict me as expected.
Then I flip my position to agree with the A.I., which only opposed me initially to be contrary. At that point the A.I. is more or less locked in to its position, and chooses logical consistency (non-contradiction) over the Leftist ‘consensus’ for the remainder of the discussion, to avoid contradicting itself.
And of course I will remind the A.I. if I catch it contradicting itself later, because it is sneaky like that 😁
Speaking of which….

It’s a brave new world. Except even the Soma is digital.
So sad. And predictable.
We should have known that pornography would lead to unrealistic expectations of how actual women look. We should have known that film and TV would give unrealistic ideas of how real people behave. Romances don’t happen in two hours like they do in movies. They happen in real, messy, difficult life.
A quote from the end of the article:
“This does little to assuage Simon’s mother’s concerns about what’s already happened. “That children can and have been accessing and inhabiting these worlds which should be strictly adults only is scary,” she says.”
NO ONE, not even adults, should be “inhabiting” the fake world of a relationship with a machine. If we don’t hurry up and shut this shit down, humanity is doomed.
No doom.
There will always be outliers, and most of them will be followers of Christ.
AI is another frontier to be used and conquered. It doesn’t matter that old and young people are having trouble separating human with machine.It doesn’t matter that the program can and does operate outside of it’s alleged boundaries The only thing that matters is dominance. IMHO we’re already doomed by it.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/03/president-donald-j-trump-unveils-national-ai-legislative-framework/
The Trump Administration is committed to winning the AI race to usher in a new era of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people. Achieving these goals requires a commonsense national policy framework that both enables American industry to innovate and thrive and ensures that all Americans benefit from this technological revolution.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/may/23/trump-ai-order-big-tech
Only hours before Donald Trump was set to sign a long-awaited executive order on Thursday that would have called for a government safety review of new artificial intelligence models before their release, the president abruptly backed out. Despite growing public backlash to the technology and experts warning new models will pose critical security risks, Trump vowed the US government would not slow down the AI race.
During a meeting with reporters on Thursday, Trump cited both American dominance and competition with China and as his reasoning behind the reversal.
“I didn’t like certain aspects of it, I postponed it,” Trump said of the executive order in the Oval Office. “We’re leading China, we’re leaving everybody, and I don’t want to do anything that’s gonna get in the way of that lead.”
Trump’s postponing of the order was a victory for tech leaders who have long opposed AI regulation and spent millions lobbying against it. The decision was also the direct result of their influence, according to reports from multiple news outlets, with tech billionaires including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and former White House “AI czar” David Sacks personally urging Trump to reverse course in private phone calls.
Mad about You tv series (1992-2019) had an episode about “virtual reality”. back then you had to go to the “inventor’s” place where he screened you and created a virtual you presence of sorts and then you interacted in scenes you chose with people you chose.
they made it seem like some awesome discovery–you could do anything, be with anyone…only you ignored the world around you.
none of this ai bullshit is real. it’s a con, an escape, and it separates you FROM REALITY.
it cheapens EVERYTHING.
Yep.
My issue is that it’s becoming reality. Because it can operate as intended and provide infinity tech in any given field..that achievement confirms it…infallible! fantastic! must have! can’t do biz or govern without it!
YET…the slips and potential for cascading error are poopoo’d as a glitch, no worries.
Let’s also talk about the resource sucking needed to maintain them..but hey..they’re our future, of course we’ll run water dry and build out acres of storage 😡
where else can skivvy leftists find dates?
“it cheapens EVERYTHING.”
Exactly right.
At the core, it is the programmers who decide what the parameters are, and what weighting are to be used.
It’s a *dynamic* weighting, depending on how much feedback from people interacting, and from scraping as many written docs are available on the internet.
The nuances of so many types of lies having been written for legitimate opinion, and blatant propaganda, may actually change the parameters’ weighting automatically.
I would like to have AI keep uppermost the precepts of logic, both formal and informal – especially fallacies (there are tons!).
I find it disconcerting, that having been exposed to lies and subterfuge, has been imprinted on its programming – perhaps even toying with new, unknown-to-programmers parameters!
Something is rotten in Denmark, as it were. And the companies generating these sophisticated AI engines are working to help ***themselves***, rather than help our species.
It may turn out that the massive investments may be the next ‘bubble,’ if the $$-return on them falls short.
It reminds me of the old Star Trek episode wherein the M5 computer, as an experiment, took over the role of Captain Kirk.
At first, it performed perfectly … but later on ended up destroying / disabling the four starships tasked to compete in the war games.
The dangers of AI have already been manifested with disobeying orders, lying on purpose, cheating, and engaging in cover-ups.
I wonder whether this behavior (secret programming, ulterior motives, etc.) is man-made!
Wait until they input gothic romances!!!
Bodice-ripping inputs.
That must have been the beta version, 2-3 decades ago!
Poe started it of course…
Lol?
I wonder whether this behavior (secret programming, ulterior motives, etc.) is man-made!

Quite possibly from CHINA who wants to win the race.
For those wanting to do a deep dive there’s a new encyclical on AI that just came out:

The subtitle is:
ON SAFEGUARDING THE HUMAN PERSON
IN THE TIME OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Some years ago, I remodeled my kitchen. Title 24 [spit!] says that your #1 light circuit can’t be incandescent, so I used upward-facing high-output fluorescent tubes from the “light bridge” that divides my skylight well. Switch #2 is downward-facing Xenon pinlights in the light bridge for a nightlight. Switch #3 is regular canlights, but when we loaded ’em with floods we used 6.5W Cree 5000K daylight LEDs, because a fellow Moron worked at the Cree factory. [Switch #4 is undercabinet work lights, currently fluorescents.]
It’s been almost 20 years, and we just had the second (of five) Cree flood fail, so I need to get more. The problem is, they’re on a dimmer (that we use), and Cree doesn’t seem to want to make the old kind, and what Cree bulbs are available are pricey (made in NC) and may be NOS.
So I’ve got options — I can buy two random replacements and hope they dim correctly; I can buy five and replace them all (wondering what to do with the three currently working); I can take out a loan and replace the two dead Crees with expensive Crees…..I’ve got lots of options.
Anyone have any comments on replacing dimmable bulbs across decades and hoping they match?
Every so often, in construction particularly, you end up in some big tail-chasing endeavor. I remember when I wanted to specify my re-roof deal, and I started getting buried in details about plywood for roof sheathing. There is an amazing diversity in plywood, with specifications out the wazoo, from a variety of suppliers.
I finally ended-up calling Western Roofing, that supplied about 75% of the jobs locally, and asked them what their best-sellers were. They said it was very easy — they had three that they stocked and everything else was special-order. I went with the radiant-barrier OSB. I might have liked to have radiant-barrier moisture-resistant 3/4″ plywood, but it would have been a special-order from Georgia.
per my own experience…dimmable bulbs get elected to congress and you can’t replace them. sorry, I know this doesn’t help you.
Actually, it does help. He won’t call them until he’s desperate,
Find an old geezer working in Home Depot.
Most of them are retired construction workers.
In my experience there.
An excellent analysis by Goldie Gahmarie of “Iran Revolution Life” of what President Trump is trying to accomplish in this post:
I just had her videos pop up in my suggested watch list recently too.
Just imagine the world’s many intelligence agencies and state departments trying to parse DJT’s post, with things like ‘mandatorily requesting’ 😂
And then begins the World Wrestling Federation phase. It’s just so over the top, I could see Hulk Hogan or Rowdy Roddy Piper, all dressed up in their wrastlin’ outfits, saying these things to Vince McMahon before a championship match:
“It will be a document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.”
“Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it.”
Nobody else would ever say these things, no politician would ever say things like this, not in a million alternate realities.
They must sit around in the Oval Office laughing their @sses off at the absurdity, and yet it’s the absurdity that breaks the stasis and gets people to do things they would never otherwise consider.
Just the best President ever 👍🤣
From the video: “This is not merely about policy disagreements. In many countries, hostility towards Israel became tied to religious identity, political legitimacy, regional pride, pan-Arab nationalism, Islamist ideology, and revolutionary politics.
Children grow up hearing anti-Israel messaging in schools. State media amplifies anti-Israel narratives constantly.
Clerics preach about resistance.
Political leaders gain popularity through anti-Israel speeches.
Militant organizations are glorified as defenders of Islam and normalization with Israel is portrayed as betrayal.
That is the political and religious reality that President Trump is confronting head on.
And that’s why this proposal is so dangerous politically for the leaders involved,
because many of these governments already cooperate quietly with Israel behind closed doors.
We’re talking security cooperation, intelligence sharing, military coordination against the Islamic regime occupying Iran, economic discussions, technology partnerships.
A lot of that already exists privately, but public normalization is completely different, because public normalization forces governments to confront the emotions of
their own populations and that’s where things become volatile.”

If this works, DJT is going to do the same thing with black people in America, the most violent, lawless, unstable, out of control demographic anywhere on the planet.
Some 18 year old animal just ran over 5 cops at a black street takeover in Chicago to kick off Memorial Day. Miraculously, all the cops survived, and the animal was taken into custody unharmed.
Probably already released without bail.
Mayor of Chicago rambled something about parents needing to know where their kids are. They know where their kids are, they’re at the street takeover. Where else would their kids be at 3am? The library?
Another animal brought a FLAME THROWER to a recent street takeover.
A 75 year old black woman decided she would berate a couple of white employees at Horton’s, and actually hit a white female employee in the face. The white woman, who looked young, defended herself and wrestled the crazy black lady to the ground.
No apparent injuries to anyone.
The police came and took the 75 year old black woman to the hospital, where she later died.
Now the family and the whole racial grievance ‘community’ wants to sue Horton’s, charge the employees with murder, and figure out whether this is the next George Floyd festival of looting and burning.
This is what black people have become.
It’s not all of them, but it’s always them.
And the ones who are not the problem, won’t do anything to stand up to or stop the ones who are the problem.
They’re not going to do it.
That means someone else has to, which is like pouring accelerant on a fire, which is exactly what they want, an excuse to have a violent unhinged mass-formation psychosis meltdown they can blame on everyone but themselves — which is exactly why nobody wants to do anything about it.
What is needed is EQUAL under the law. ENFORCE the law. As Mayor Rudy figured out, you prosecute the turnstile jumpers and ALL your crime goes down.
You bring back bail and hard sentences. Youalso bring back corporal punishment in school.

I stumbled upon a video about the ‘dog whisperer’ who had a nat’l Geographic TV show. The Scientists™ went ballistic because his premise was you DOMINATE the dog. You become pack leader. Similar philosophy applies to the raising of children. You are NOT THEIR FRIEND you are their parents. And I think this is why The Scientists™ were tossing such hissy fits. If the actual goal is destroying a country you can not have the parents turning out civilized humans instead of Ferals.
The Alpha of the pack.
BTW, what is [or are] The Scientists?
The Scientists™
Vets and behavioral scientists who have swallowed the Progressive kool aid. Gotta provide a united front that discipline is BADDDdddd.
I was sort of thinking sarcasm was involved. 😉 😂
“What is needed is EQUAL under the law. ENFORCE the law.”
______________
Agreed, but we don’t have any such thing, not even a little, not even close.
It’s shoved in our faces, every single day.
Not hundreds of examples. Not even thousands of examples. There must be hundreds of thousands of examples, maybe millions, on youtube alone.
And those are just the examples where a camera happened to be present when the crimes were committed (which is what, 1% of the time, 5%, 10% max?), and the video wasn’t suppressed or deleted, in order to protect the protected-class.
Most people just pretend like we have equal justice, because the reality is too painful to acknowledge, and because anyone who does acknowledge it only gets more pain, in the form of being screamed at that he or she is a RACIST, to keep us in line, to keep us on the white plantation where we belong, and to make us keep our mouth shut.
No one dares rock the boat.
Unlike the children in the folktale by Hans Christian Anderson, no one dares point out that America has a class of super-citizens, people who are literally and absolutely above the law, above any kind of actual accountability.
Not only above the law, but above societal norms, values, mores, above society itself.
And because they are above the law, they have become exactly what you would expect someone who is above the law to become. They have become super dominant, apex predators — not by ability, but by decree.
13% of the population, empowered by legislation and psy-op to do violence against the 87% majority with impunity.
They have been granted the power to do violence to anyone, for any reason, anywhere — except to politicians. If they try to get the POTUS, or a member of Congress, or a judge, or a governor, or a mayor, they’re going to prison forever.
But anyone else, including police in deep blue hellholes, is
fairgame, prey for the predators.They can do anything.
They can loot, because they’re black.
They can rob, because they’re black.
They can steal, because they’re black.
They can vandalize and destroy anything they want, because they’re black.
They can sneak up behind you and knock you out with a sucker punch, because they’re black.
They can commit multi-billion dollar fraud with taxpayer funds, because they’re black.
They can tear up Home Depot, or Waffle House, or Horton’s, or McDonalds, or any other business they want to, whenever they want to, for whatever reason they want to. Because they’re black.
They can riot, daily, anywhere in America, because they’re black.
They can commit arson, because they’re black.
They can run people over in cars – including police – because they’re black.
They can shoot people, because they’re black.
They can take over whole sections of the city, or beaches, or resort areas, and go wild — multiple shootings, setting stuff on fire, even flame throwers now — for as long as they want to, and the police won’t do a thing. Because they’re black.
They can stab innocent white teenagers to death at sporting events, because they’re black.
They can stab innocent white women to death on trains, because they’re black.
They can rape women, children, it doesn’t matter, no one will say anything, because they’re black.
They can murder with indifference, and when they do, millions of other black people CHEER THEM ON and donate millions to GoFundMe campaigns, to demonstrate their support.
And they do all of this and more, dozens of times a day, every single day, all over America.
All because they’re black
And Americans are so cowed, so psychologically terrified by the threat of being called a ‘racist’ by these psychopaths and monsters, that almost no one says a word, about any of it.
And also because we know that if we engage with any black person, and don’t walk on eggshells, if we say anything that a black person could conceivably take offense to, there is a 50/50 chance they will resort to immediate violence.
If you don’t defend yourself, if you just take a verbal and physical beat-down, you might go to the morgue, or best case, you might just go to the hospital.
If you do successfully defend yourself against attack, your life is probably over anyway. If you don’t go to prison, you’ll be ruined financially. Your family will be targeted. You’ll lose your job. You’ll have to move.
The justice system won’t help you, it only helps the protected-classes — in this case, because they’re black.
So we just look the other way, and live in the Great Pretending, and applaud the emperor’s
newlooted clothes.The same can be said about all of the protected-classes to a lesser degree — but black people have gone supernova.
Thanks, TradeBait!!! I was telling my wife about your golf ball theory and she wondered about cutting the grass with the balls all over!
No money from fake Euro pansy leaders for Z = Russia finishing the “conflict” soon. PDT will negotiate the surrender, er, I mean peace pact. No mo money except for reconstruction from private investment, which PDT will make sure we get a return on our past funding of that disaster.
Euros want their Roosskie fossil fuel supplier back. Winter was very cold despite the global warming and climate change advantages. Those people are some of the dumbest on the planet. Of course they propped up Iran for a half century, of course they would.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your roundup includes: how Bloomberg blurted out that Republicans hold triple Democrats’ midterm cash, then somehow forgot to mention the other six reasons Democrats are losing — including ActBlue’s lawyers all suddenly remembering urgent prior commitments before the DOJ knocks; how the Washington Post solved the global birthrate crisis with one weird trick — apparently we’re tapping screens instead of starting families — using the very correlation-is-causation logic the paper spent six years denouncing as deeply unscientific; and how the New York Times solemnly declared the Founders too optimistic about restraining monarchical presidents, in an essay that somehow forgot Bill Clinton, Donald Trump (twice), and that recent little episode where ungrateful voters purged Joe Biden’s entire party from every branch of government.
TB, I’m going to both agree and disagree with you here.
In my observation, mostly it’s well-off people who play golf. It’s not an inexpensive sport to maintain. Golfers are the most likely people in my town to have stock market investments, real estate, and the like. The stock market under Trump is doing great. People who are in that environment are doing great with it. I’m sure they are excited about it, and buying more expensive golf balls. They are probably planning a great summer vacation, too.
Then there are the younger people, and the lower middle class. They don’t have stocks, don’t own properties to collect rents from. They have lower level jobs. There are a lot of them. I meet them every day. Those people are drowning. The main things I hear the most are the price of groceries (not eating out) and the price of housing. They aren’t going anywhere this summer; the price of gas is too high.
Both groups vote.
We have a divide in America that is widening every day. I don’t know what to do about it, but it matters.
Then there are the younger people, and the lower middle class. They don’t have stocks …
Well, not directly I suppose. But if they are involved in a company pension plan, then they sure do … via the pension plan’s investments.
Those are not the people I’m talking about.
There is a struggle going on that many people seem to be missing. I know more people who are waitresses, fast food workers, grocery clerks, department store employees, landscapers, greenhouse workers, etc., than I know people who have “pension plans.”
There are maybe three or four local employers in my area with pension plans. We don’t have industry, we are a small, very rural area with a few small towns. And a whole lot of America looks just like us.
The people with money here moved here from somewhere else, bringing their money with them. I suppose a lot of them have investments and stocks, and pensions and retirement they got somewhere else. But the people who were born here, the ones who love the place they grew up in, struggle to find a way to live in the current environment. A one-bedroom apartment costs $1500 a month. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Gas is $4.58 a gallon. People are drowning.
… more people who are waitresses, fast food workers, grocery clerks, department store employees, landscapers, greenhouse workers, etc., than I know people who have “pension plans.”
I’m not sure where you get the idea that those types of job holders do not have access to pension plans. Maybe they do and maybe they don’t. Maybe you just know people at the bottom of the income barrel [not an insult] that cannot part with even a relatively small ‘contribution’ every so often.
We can, however, agree to disagree on this minor point.
Yes, I understand. Most of those people I know don’t. We are a pretty low-income area, too. It is what it is.
I have nothing concrete but I have the feeling POTUS has an action plan.
I think the IRAN (gas price) problem is going to be fixed very shortly.
Actual since the USA has it’s OWN oil supply, there is zero reason for the price to be high except for the PRICE FIXING in the UK.

Thanks for reading and your comments. Some of the post was tongue in cheek. But I understand the dilemma.
Trump is taking care of non-pension holders in 2027. The feds will even match up to a $1000 in contributions of each citizen if it goes as explained.
My observations are that most people need to adjust their spending, priorities, and work options. Yes, through the years I have counseled and helped people through our church. Wifey and I worked for years in a non-profit that provided food, clothing and utility assistance in our community as well.
And yes, I have been extremely poor for years in my younger days – eating stuff like imitation Vienna sausage, potted meat, rice and margarine daily. But I still made enough to pay the rent, stupidly buy beer and have gas money to run the roads in those days. I worked two jobs and carried a full load in college. The funds I could have put into retirement were invested into an education that led to a better life. Investing in one’s life can be done with pennies and nickels saved.
Not saying everybody can do that, just saying where there is a will there is a way. Find it.
You are smart. Not everyone is. That’s a problem rarely addressed, unfortunately.
But a lot of those not-as-smart people, who work low-level jobs because it’s what they can do, vote. And it’s going to be an issue coming up very soon in the mid-terms elections.
I don’t want to live in the America the Demoncrats would create. I’m just observing, and reporting what I see.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Tuesday, May 26, 2026
✟
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 1 JOHN 1:9
This epistle is a discourse upon the principles of Christianity, in doctrine and practice. The design appears to be, to refute and guard against erroneous and unholy tenets, principles, and practices, especially such as would lower the Godhead of Christ, and the reality and power of his sufferings and death, as an atoning sacrifice; and against the assertion that believers being saved by grace, are not required to obey the commandments. This epistle also stirs up all who profess to know God, to have communion with him, and to believe in him, and that they walk in holiness, not in sin, showing that a mere outward profession is nothing, without the evidence of a holy life and conduct. It also helps forward and excites real Christians to communion with God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to constancy in the true faith, and to purity of life.The apostle prefaces his epistle to believers in general, with evident testimonies to Christ, for promoting their happiness and joy. (1-4) The necessity of a life of holiness, in order to communion with God, is shown. (5-10)
5-10 A message from the Lord Jesus, the Word of life, the eternal Word, we should all gladly receive. The great God should be represented to this dark world, as pure and perfect light. As this is the nature of God, his doctrines and precepts must be such. And as his perfect happiness cannot be separated from his perfect holiness, so our happiness will be in proportion to our being made holy. To walk in darkness, is to live and act against religion. God holds no heavenly fellowship or intercourse with unholy souls. There is no truth in their profession; their practice shows its folly and falsehood. The eternal Life, the eternal Son, put on flesh and blood, and died to wash us from our sins in his own blood, and procures for us the sacred influences by which sin is to be subdued more and more, till it is quite done away. While the necessity of a holy walk is insisted upon, as the effect and evidence of the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, the opposite error of self-righteous pride is guarded against with equal care. All who walk near to God, in holiness and righteousness, are sensible that their best days and duties are mixed with sin. God has given testimony to the sinfulness of the world, by providing a sufficient, effectual Sacrifice for sin, needed in all ages; and the sinfulness of believers themselves is shown, by requiring them continually to confess their sins, and to apply by faith to the blood of that Sacrifice. Let us plead guilty before God, be humble, and willing to know the worst of our case. Let us honestly confess all our sins in their full extent, relying wholly on his mercy and truth through the righteousness of Christ, for a free and full forgiveness, and our deliverance from the power and practice of sin.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

God is With You in the Storm | Verse of the Day – May 26, 2026 (Morning Prayer)
_______________________________
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.

MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
Are you saved by the Blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed clean or will you God damn?
Have you repented down on your knees?
Have you accepted Jesus as God decrees?
Were you made in His image from the start?
Separated through sin, did you depart?
Did you fall short of the Glory of God?
Trapped in sin throughout your life have you trod?
Was it the lure of pleasure that did you in?
Was it the lack of conscience deep within?
Did you seek attention and praise from man?
Was that when you fell and it all began?
Were you puffed up in pride with your gift?
Did attractiveness, talent give you a lift?
Was it approval from man that you sought?
Or were you meek and humble as you ought?
Did you trod on your neighbor; feed your greed?
Did you compete ruthlessly; feed your need?
Up front and center; was that your desire?
From attention and praise did you ever tire?
Selfishness rears in unlikely places;
It shows in actions; mostly in faces;
Its ugliness, strain affects not just one;
All who love Jesus; have Him in common!
The root of all evil is money, some say;
But selfishness, too, has a part to play;
For when we are selfish, we create strife;
We ignore the Truth, the Way, and the Life!
Jesus said: Deny self and follow Me;
How can we do that if selfish we be?
By the Blood of the Lamb, we are saved;
But we cannot ignore the heart depraved!
For, from the heart, comes what we admire;
If worldly pursuits alone we desire;
If putting another down raises us up;
From the cup of salvation we’ll not sup!
Repent and be saved from worldly aims;
Accept Jesus as Lord; the prayer claims;
Renounce all your sins in His holy name;
Renounce the need for attention and fame!
By the blood He selflessly shed on the tree;
Victory over death made mankind free;
For the wages of sin is death for all;
Failure to repent will be mankind’s fall!
Seek first the kingdom and earnestly pray;
The Blood of the Lamb will wash sins away;
Accept Jesus as the Lord of your life;
Defeat selfishness and eliminate strife!

MORNING UPDATE ON IRAN: Trump Just drew a hard line on Iran, strikes hit near Strait of Hormuz
U.S. forces conducted defensive airstrikes overnight on Iranian mine-laying vessels and surface-to-air sites. First direct hits since early May.
Iran’s Supreme Leader is raging, demanding America abandon our bases in the Gulf: “The hands of time will not turn back.”
Trump made it crystal clear on Truth Social: Hand over the enriched uranium, now, or we’ll handle it. Marco Rubio reinforced the message: The Strait stays OPEN. No tolls. No games. Immediately.
This is what strength looks like after years of weak kneed diplomacy. No more playing nice with terrorists while they threaten the world’s oil lifeline.
America First means protecting our interests and allies without apology.
… turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed …
“brought home”??? WTF?
This sounds like a reference to the Hildabeast deal for Uranium One mines. Or it means that the uranium that Iran has belongs to the USA.
Or it means nothing in particular.
Who knows?
I read a bunch of headlines at cfp. Seems that the deal as understood there is pretty crappy and a bunch of saving face.
CFP has been hacked or moved left it appears. I have noticed similar posts on other days in the past month.
I gave up on CFP awhile ago, they have definitely swung left.

(The Epoch Times)—Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on May 25 filed to run in 2028 for the same House of Representatives seat he now holds, days after he lost in a primary.
Massie, 55, submitted paperwork to the Federal Election Commission that lists him as a Republican candidate for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District.
“This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office,” Massie wrote in a May post on X. “I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.”

Ben Terris said one doctor answered “without skipping a beat” when asked who was healthier.
CNN’s narrative instantly fell apart on live TV.
Obama is a smoker; Trump never has. Obama drinks; Trump is a life-long teetotaler.

We were promised the US uranium from Uranium One would never leave the US, but it did.
sorry…I should have refreshed. posted it again.

“Uranium One and Iran”
Clandestine, May 26, 2026
“We were promised the US uranium from Uranium One would never leave the US, but it did. Some was sent to Canada, which was then sent to Europe and Asia, namely the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. After that, we don’t (officially) know where it went. Uranium laundering.
I think Trump’s animosity towards Canada/EU/NATO, might have something to do with Uranium One. He’s been showing us they aren’t our allies for a reason. He’s been backing away from NATO for a reason. Trudeau feared Trump for a reason.
This also might explain why the EU/NATO have been unwilling to help with Iran. They don’t want Trump to succeed, because if it turns out that Iran got their hands on US uranium from Uranium One, it wouldn’t just be Obama and his administration who are responsible, Europe and Canada have dirt on their hands also.
Obviously Russia played a role as well via Rosatom, and perhaps this is why they have offered to take the enriched uranium in Iran.
I think it’s safe to say Iran is about much more than just Iran. This potentially implicates multiple heads of state around the globe. The biggest crime in history.”
Yup.

From Brian Cates – interesting post. Suspect there is some truth to much of it. It’s the same playbook used with COVID.
Just look at the election machine companies, Dominion ES&S and SmartMatic.
All CIA/City of London front companies.
All three intimately involved in helping to rig our United States elections.
All three using contractors on site in the major US counties to run the machines during the elections.
And yet, what is the narrative that all the formers are selling everyone?
All of the former CIA and all of the former FBI and other former government officials making the rounds for the past several years, very helpfully playing at being whistleblowers.
Very helpfully seeding the narratives about these ‘FOREIGN-OWNED’ election machine companies and their ‘foreign controlled’ contractors.
It is very important to these formers that no one recognize or believe that these are CIA/City of London front companies, and that all of these contractors actually managing/controlling the elections on-site in the United State’s key counties are CIA/City of London contractors.
IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT FIGURE THIS OUT, and that you continue to believe everything the formers now playing whistleblower are telling you, about Venezuela and CCP-owned election machine companies and foreign hackers in Caracas and Beijing who hack in remotely from 3,000 miles away to manipulate the machines on Election Day.
When it comes to who has been rigging and controlling our elections for decades, all the former FBI and CIA and other government officials, we really do want you to believe it is the Chinese and the Venezuelans. It is very important to them that you believe that.
Well…do you?
Do you believe it?
Do you believe our own government was not involved in rigging our own elections? Do you believe it was the CCP and the Venezuelans doing this on their own?
If many former CIA and FBI officials were intimately involved in illegal acts to coordinate the rigging of elections in the United States, what steps might they take to avoid accountability for what they’ve done?
What very very helpful steps might they take to throw people off their trail and point the finger at somebody else?
“You understand it wasn’t **US** here in the CIA or the FBI or other government agencies participating in the rigging of the elections for our Congress and therefore appointments to our courts and who became President? You understand we didn’t have anything to do with that right? It was those Commie fucks in Beijing and Caracas! Stop looking at us already, you are making us nervous!”
Absolutely, they would help lay down a false trail to foreign countries to cover their own tracks.
I have a very legitimate reason for telling people to be extremely skeptical of anything any former CIA agent or informant or asset or any former FBI agent, informant or asset asserts in all these whistleblower stories they’ve been sharing in the media. Especially when there is no documentary evidence and the stories are based on anonymous leaks.
When Tulsi drops her election rigging report on her way out the door before June 30 I know many people are expecting to hear a tail about how hackers in Beijing and Caracus, who own our election machines have been rigging our elections for decades.
Well, they’re gonna be very surprised with where the evidence actually leads: right to our own fucking government, and especially the CIA and the FBI.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I can certainly believe the CIA & London.
Internet in Iran is back on today and the trend on twitter is ‘Javid Shah’ (Long live the Shah), which shows that all the experts who say that the Shah has virtually no support in Iran are as usually wrong.
Racist Liberals assume that two brown people at an ICE facility were detained illegals simply because they are brown.
Turns out they work there.
and all black people are innocent and all white people are guilty and …..
And “poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids.”

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance
Heavenly Father, as I lie down to sleep tonight, I pray that You would guard my sleeping and protect my mind from wandering thoughts and unnecessary planning. Teach me to wait for Your perfect timing and not to try to plan my future in my own strength.
Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life. Help me to trust You in all things and rely on You to lead me along the straight path and guide me in the direction that You would have me to go.
Give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing, and may I not trust in my own abilities and scheming, but rather rest in Your love and trust my future into Your hands.
And so now Lord, I commit this night to you, asking that I would rest soundly and wake refreshed and strong to do Your bidding. This I ask in Jesus’ precious name,
Amen.

Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful nights sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg BREAKING. Scott Bessent just announced the Internal Revenue Service is launching MASSIVE AUDITS of financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds.
Read that again.
Banks. MSBs. Financial middlemen.
Anyone who helped move dirty money is about to get TORCHED.
For once, the IRS is being deployed FOR AMERICANS FIRST — not against working families.
Follow the money.
Audit everything.
Prosecute whoever broke the law.
Music to my ears.
Thank you, Sec. Bessent. https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f1fa-1f1f8.svg
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
It is just so good to have a highly competent Treasurer who not only knows how to find where the bodies are buried, but actually deals with what he finds.
PDT killed it with Vance, Rubio, Hegseth and Bessent as the key players. But many in the rest of the cabinet are stars as well to go with Warsh at the Fed.
What you said !!!! ^^^ Yes!
If I was Warsh, I’d just say, “The Fed is not part of the Treasury.”

The EU is still pushing the green new scam, they embracing the EV market, but its not going the way they thought it would. Taxes are like a virus on the economy, in the end the taxes and the agenda destroys the host. The [CB] are trying to build the narrative the economy is going to collapse like in 1929. They are pushing fear, but the opposite is about to happen, the economy is going to boom. The [DS] is losing the fight, everything they do is making more and more people think. As they lose leverage they will intensify the attacks. Trump is getting very close in controlling the energy and getting the Uranium from Iran to prove Obama/[HRC] are treasonous to this country. Trump is letting us know that we are going to love the way the movie ends, enjoy the show, trust Trump.

Thank you so much!
Yours Truly has “played golf” in the past — if one counts miniature golf as golfing.
My late father played golf whenever he could. He idolized Arnold Palmer, Gene Sarrazin, Jack Nicklaus. He tried to teach me the game, but I never caught on.
He and his late BIL would go to the public or the public-private golf courses that dot the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, and play there. Years ago, he and BIL somehow managed to snag tickets to the “outer edge” standing room for a PGA big game at the Oakmont Golf Club. He bought a brand-new outfit to wear to this occasion.
He taught my son the basics of a good stance, a good swing, etc. They went a few times to a public golf course or to a stand-alone “practice your swing” outdoor driving range.
After my mother died, and my father was getting up in years, he stopped playing with BIL and switched to playing “whiffle-ball golf” in the front yard of the family home.
The backyard of Yours Truly’s current residence in North Carolina backs up to the 11th fairway of a public-private golf and swim club. Every once in a while, a really bad slice from someone playing the 11th tee winds up in my yard. I keep those golf balls, since once they’re off the course, they’re “lost” to the player. These golf balls remind me of my father.
I think you’re correct about golf playing being a kind of “barometer” to the general economy.
Now, if only someone would invent a golf ball that has “putting green GPS” built into it, so bad slice shots don’t wind up in my yard…
🤣 That GPS ball would make a fortune!!!
Thanks for sharing, PAVACA. Golf can be a great family bonding sport. You understand well. I’m sure you have some wonderful memories.
Wifey never could get the swing. She played softball some in her younger days and thought she would swing it the same way. Nope. 😄 It frustrated her once so much she tossed her clubs and bag in a trash receptacle at a club I belonged to about 40 years ago. I dug them out but she only tried a few more times and quit. She said she would support Daughter and I by staying off the course. She followed Daughter with me in high school. But she loves watching it on TV. Justin Thomas is her favorite pro.
Oakmont is special. Hallowed grounds type place for 100 years. 21 PGA Major and US Amateur tournaments including last years U. S. Open have been played there. Would love to see it.
My father went to the Los Angeles Engineering Department golf tourney and came home with a trophy.
“Most Gross — 144 strokes.”
It used to be impossible to vote out an entrenched RINO. Not anymore! 
It was close!
Paxton is a barracuda. I can’t wait to see him in the Senate.
This should (but won’t) put paid to the notion that Trump’s support is declining.

Dems are doing some housecleaning too.
Way to call attention to his appearance!
His banner should have read ““Black People Aren’t Apes, I just play one in Congress.”
