Dear KMAG: 20260601 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

gammacism and gammicism

nouns

gammacism

  • inability or hardship in pronouncing letters ‘g’ and ‘k’
  • a speech defect characterized by the substitution of the sound “g” for the sound “k”
  • stuttering over “g” and “k”
  • not to be confused with gammicism, although, ironically, the spellings are often switched

gammicism

  • speech or writing characterized by use of archaisms or outdated expressions, often in a style that is overly elaborate or pretentious

Used in a paragraph

The exercises in the case of diagnosed gammacism are aimed at improving the work of the language. Exercises involving lifting the tongue, moving it to different parts of the mouth, sticking it out, licking the teeth or tapping the lower teeth with the tip are of great importance.

MUSIC!

Gamma wave jazz! It’s a thing!

And if that’s not your thing, try this song…


THE STUFF

Don’t remember what Steve taught you about gamma rays? Here you go!

And here is where that knowledge is useful – some older, younger, Veritasium!

Veritasium. Useful stuff. Although, not necessarily, while fixing stuff around the house.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

He makes good points in his usual humorous way.

His defense of Susan Collins is interesting. I think this is the third time I’ve seen him praise her. If we’re talking about a graph where she plots above leftists or somewhat better than a Dem for her seat, that’s true, but barely. She often votes against PDJT’s agenda.

TradeBait2

I agree, while noting that Mainers can be a strange bunch at times. They need a healthy dose of MAGA injected into their water supply.

Aubergine

Two things.

One is, Susan Collins is the best we’re ever going to get in Maine. Maine is weird.

The second is more complicated.

The Right doesn’t seem to understand “religion.” And Schlichter is correct; Demoncrat politics is a religion.

Oh, we understand our own Christianity. We know that our God is an awesome God, and we love Jesus and we would NEVER EVER stop doing that. Because we are correct, and because we BELIEVE in our one true religion.

What we miss is, OTHER people, who have a different religion, like islam or demoncrat politics, also BELIEVE in THEIR religion.

If I can’t be reasoned, persuaded, bargained, or swayed out of MY absolute and convicted love for Jesus, WHY would I believe someone else could be out of their religion, however twisted it is?

I can tell y’all why Christians believe that, but I don’t really think it will make a difference. The reason we believe that other people can be persuaded out of their religious beliefs is our conviction that our way is the only right way. And we are correct about that.

But the other side believes just as strongly in their “religion,” be it islam, or democrat politics, or whatever religion it is, as we believe in ours. And until we accept that religious belief isn’t a “surface” principle, but a soul-deep conviction, we will not understand what we are dealing with. These people can NOT be changed. They can only be defeated and marginalized. Maybe locked in a closet.

scott467

“If I can’t be reasoned, persuaded, bargained, or swayed out of MY absolute and convicted love for Jesus, WHY would I believe someone else could be out of their religion, however twisted it is?”

______________

Because we are on the side of truth, while the other religions are false, and demonstrably so.

Because other religions are not just child-like fantasies or cartoons, they are very serious. They are imaginary, in that sense they are child-like, but they are serious. And because they are serious, they must also reconcile with themselves and with known and provable history — or risk being exposed as imaginary.

And under legitimate, critical scrutiny, they fall apart.

They cannot withstand critical scrutiny. So the only thing holding a believer in a false religion back is themselves.

So if you can show them how their belief is in error, an intellectually honest mind, someone with an honest, open mind, has nowhere to hide.

They may not crack immediately, but the seed is planted. It’s hardly different than breaking someone out of a cult.

All we can do is point out the provable error of their current belief, and point them to the truth.

Because truth reconciles and harmonizes with itself.

The Bible does. That it harmonizes and reconciles with itself, despite being written down by 40+ different people, of differing languages, backgrounds, cultures and geographic locations, across a span of some 1,500 years, is one of the primary evidences of divine inspiration.

Because even if you took 40 people — ordinary people, or PhDs in literature, or a mix of both — and put them in a room, working together, for 50 years, they could not come up with a document like the Scriptures that harmonize and reconcile forwards and backwards.

The Bible is the most widely published book in all of human history, and it is also, by far, the most scrutinized and critically dissected book in human history. By people trying to find error and contradiction.

They have been driven to do so, to find fault, to find error, so that they can dismiss the Word of God and be free to live however they want to live and do whatever they want to do.

And they always fail to find that fault.

Thousands of years, millions of serious attempts, and the Scriptures remain unbroken.

What other belief system has been so harshly scrutinized, by so may people, determined to destroy it?

No other belief system can make that claim. They don’t even try.

And no one expects them to withstand such rigorous scrutiny, because everyone knows, in their heart of hearts, the other religions are false.

What other belief makes such extraordinary claims as the Bible does, and then openly challenges the entirety of mankind to find error or contradiction, to break them?

This is exactly why those who love the truth — whatever the truth may be — if they seek it long enough, they end up at the Bible.

When everything else examined in this life is found lacking in some way, the Word of God still stands. Gigantic, declarative, immovable, and yet open and inviting of every living soul to examine it for themselves.

Come and see.

When was the last time islam was credibly scrutinized? The only occasion I am aware of is Salman Rushdie, and he had to go into hiding for the rest of his life because of it.

Because islam is so fragile, islam is so completely vulnerable to the light of truth, that adherents are compelled to murder anyone who shines a light on their false religion.

We are on the side of truth, and truth does not hide.

Truth wants to be examined.

Truth runs toward the light.

And truth is the only thing which does 🙂

Which is what I said, we are correct and on the right side. But it’s religion, dude. They think they are on the right side. It’s belief. You are just like every Christian male I talk to.

“So the only thing holding a believer in a false religion back is themselves.
So if you can show them how their belief is in error, an intellectually honest mind, someone with an honest, open mind, has nowhere to hide.”

I’d pay good money to see you try that with a muslim jihadi. It’s naive to believe you can change their religious belief. They don’t have “honest, open minds,” silly.

“They may not crack immediately, but the seed is planted. It’s hardly different than breaking someone out of a cult.”

Have you read the Parable of the Sower? Could there BE more “rocky ground” than the heart of a jihadi?

“When was the last time islam was credibly scrutinized? The only occasion I am aware of is Salman Rushdie, and he had to go into hiding for the rest of his life because of it.”

Yeah, into hiding for the rest of his life for doing what you think will change an islamist. Just point out how right Christianity is and they’ll fall right in line.

And Demoncrats aren’t much different. They despise us, they think we are idiot morons. They think the Bible is nonsense. Try to convince one sometime. Good luck.

Yet the internet has many stories of former slams who did come to the light, and even former democrats who came to their senses 😉 . You are correct, we cannot change them. But God can.

A guy at my church is a former slam from Iran. He commented recently that when you read the Koran it is always just the same. But when you read the Bible, it is aways new, there is always some new thing you didn’t connect before. It is living.

We can’t change people but we can speak and we can pray.

Aubergine

I agree. God can change people. And we can speak. But persuading is not possible.

And I am speaking of politics AS religion, which is something else altogether. People who are die-hard Demoncrat believe in their crazy nonsense, and they are not coming out of it by persuasion by us.

Aubergine

I suppose I should clarify that by “every Christian male I talk to” I mean in real life.

I’ve had some good convo here with Christian guys. In real life, I seem to run into the ones who are just myopic.

The word of the day, gammacism, reminds me of someone with whom I was once acquainted, but I don’t think her pronunciation precisely fits this definition. She would pronounce final -g as -k, as in:
•thinkink

She did not have an accent, otherwise. I wondered if she had grown up with relatives whose first language was something other than English, like maybe German. (I miss Singing Soul.) Maybe it’s a regional characteristic in certain parts of America.

cthulhu

There are various property taxes in common use — real estate taxes, automobile taxes, property held for business taxes — all have been in common use for decades. All have been generally held as Constitutional.

Then, again, they are typically levied by states or subdivisions thereof — and not the Federal government.

TheseTruths

…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Does paying taxes on the property amount to public use if the taxes are used to fund schools and the like? Maybe. But can it be said that the property has been taken if the owner is still in possession of it?

cthulhu

If you don’t pay the taxes for a few years, they’ll seize the property and sell it at auction.

TheseTruths

That’s not the same as taking the property for public use when you were paying taxes on it.

cthulhu

They could argue that they’re taking the property for public use because the new owner would pay the taxes.

cthulhu

I would be interested in governments going for a “when you buy your property, you can decide to pay 1% for taxes every year, or pay one-time 10% for taxes as long as you own it.”

After all, people don’t live forever, but governments do…..

Valerie Curren

How about we owe NOTHING to government for OUR property as (allegedly) FREE People!

cthulhu

I’d love to be a purist on this, but how will you drive from your homestead to town? There have to be taxes to maintain the roads, enforce traffic regulations, register deeds and lot lines and property easements, keep vagrants from camping on your property or felons invading….

In short, there are a number of recurring public costs based on your property that would be best financed by a tax on such property.

There are even weird things like mosquito abatement that logically depend on property. Storm drains. Flood control.

Nothing is free, but if taxes are assessed to provide direct benefits, there’s a good case for them.

OTOH, property taxes to finance teacher’s unions should be right out.

Valerie Curren

Makes sense…sadly… 🙁

cthulhu

Part of the initial city / county / state / federal tax plan as envisioned by our Founders would have appropriate taxation [and regulation] at an appropriate level where issues could be effectively addressed.

Remember the phrase, “don’t make a Federal case out of it”? It once was popular when it was generally understood that most issues should be addressed at some other level.

Now the default seems to be making everything Federal.

Valerie Curren

& I thought tariffs funded the federal government until about 1913 at least…

Sir ES

There weren’t ANY taxes at all from the period after the Civil War to just before WWI.

Tariffs financed schools, roads and bridges, public transportation, post offices, the military, and almost everything else.

Society was fully functional, and the manufacturing might of the American producers was unrivaled.

I hope we can return, in significant measure, to being self-reliant WITHOUT any taxes at all.

Even if we get somewhat close to that ideal, I’d call it a win…

Daraxonrasib: After new drug’s ‘unprecedented’ results for pancreatic cancer, doctors look at other uses

Every single patient with advanced pancreatic cancer who walked into Dr. Zev Wainberg’s office told him they would rather take an experimental medication than endure another round of chemotherapy. 

Wainberg, co-director of UCLA Health’s GI Oncology Program, was leading a clinical trial of a new drug called daraxonrasib. All the study participants previously had chemotherapy that was starting to fail. 

“Statistically, I knew only half of them get the pill, and we don’t get to choose,” Wainberg said. “I put a lot of patients on the chemo arm, and none of them are alive anymore.” 

“It’s one of the most emotional studies I’ve ever been a part of,” he said.

Enthusiasm around daraxonrasib is reaching a fever pitch. In the Phase 3 trial of 500 patients, the drug was shown to double the survival time of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, a notoriously deadly cancer: 13.2 months, on average, compared to 6.7 months for people who got chemo. On Sunday, Wainberg and his colleagues presented those results at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting in Chicago. The full study was simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

…“Pancreas cancer may be the first for this drug, but there will be others,” said Dr. Brian Wolpin, who also led research on daraxonrasib and directs the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “Now the floodgates open.” 

The Food and Drug Administration has already put the drug on a fast track toward approval for pancreatic cancer, and earlier this month said it would permit Revolution Medicines to give it to patients outside of clinical trials in an expanded access program

Dr. Mark Goldsmith, chief executive officer for Revolution Medicines, declined to provide a timeline for when the company will file for FDA approval. “Our professionals are working literally 24/7 to get this material prepared as quickly as possible,” he said. 

Shrinking tumors

Most pancreatic cancers are diagnosed in later stages of the disease, when surgery isn’t an option. 

“Even with our best chemotherapies, the average benefit is around 6 months, sometimes as little as weeks or months,” said Dr. Sameek Roychowdhury, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. “It’s barely enough time for families to grasp the situation.” 

Just 3% of patients diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer are alive five years later, according to the American Cancer Society.

Debby Orcutt, 71, was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in April 2024. The cancer had already spread to her liver. Prior to her diagnosis, her only symptom had been a nagging pain in her lower left abdomen that got worse at night. 

When chemotherapy started failing Orcutt, she enrolled in the clinical trial for daraxonrasib — and was one of the participants who actually got the drug. 

Since she began taking the pill in January 2025, the spot on her liver has vanished. And the tumor on her pancreas has shrunk by 80%, according to her oncologist at Dana-Farber. 

“I feel great every single day,” said Orcutt, of Spencer, Massachusetts. “I do not dwell on the fact that I have pancreatic cancer.”

What is daraxonrasib and how does it work?

Daraxonrasib targets a mutation in a gene called KRAS, which works like an on/off switch controlling how cells grow in the body. The mutation, which is found in more than 90% of pancreatic cancers, causes the switch to get stuck in an “on” position, allowing cancer cells to grow wildly out of control. 

Scientists have known for years that if they could target the KRAS mutation, they could wrench that switch from its “on” position. 

 …Daraxonrasib is that first drug. It works by pairing up with a protein called cyclophilin A inside cells, acting like a “molecular glue,” Wolpin said, glomming onto the mutated protein. 

Studies for similar drugs in the pipeline are underway. Daraxonrasib is not a cure for cancer; tumors eventually figure out a way to grow again. Ideally, oncologists want an arsenal of drugs like it in line to give to patients when they develop resistance.

Revolution Medicines’ Goldsmith said the company has three other such drugs, called RAS inhibitors, in clinical trials, with a fourth due to start later this year. 

…Right now, chemotherapy is still recommended as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Other research is underway, Wolpin said, to see whether those patients should get the drug first.

By all accounts, daraxonrasib is much less toxic compared to chemo. Some patients reported vomiting and diarrhea, as well as sores in the mouth and throat. Some developed a blistering rash that looked like a bad sunburn. Former Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who got the drug in a clinical trial, described the rash as “nuclear” on a New York Times podcast in April

Marginal rest. I’m still fairly tired from my trip & hauling stuff about before & after. Dad’s not doing very well, barely eating or drinking, but still in good spirits. Hopefully 2 of my kids, a GD, & I can visit tomorrow. My daughter was making arrangements as she will drive us (she’s recouped enough from her trip home, unlike me). Thanks for asking…

You’re probably not up for ht tps://www.amazon.co m/Philips-HeartStart-Defibrillator-Training-Cartridge/dp/B07KGRK51L/ , but from my time SCUBA diving, it’s not terribly unreasonable to have a simple emergency oxygen rig (hint — SCUBA versions may be less expensive than homecare versions).

Well I believe he’s under Hospice now so I doubt such stuff is even “allowed”…but thanks for the thought…

cthulhu

I’m sorry, I had thought that he was still in your relative’s home, even if under hospice.

Valerie Curren

Yes, he’s in my brother’s home but with hospice involved now, I believe. My understanding (incomplete) is that hospice doesn’t allow for any sort of treatment of the qualifying condition. I guess it depends if he’s listed as a cancer patient or a dementia patient as to what interventions are permitted. When I get there I’ll have a better idea…hopefully…

cthulhu

Something to look out for.

If he has oxygen on-site, then he can be in better shape when the paramedics arrive to provide oxygen.

Valerie Curren

My concern is the lack of fluid intake, which has been an issue since at least Easter. His esophageal cancer is making eating, drinking, & even speaking much more challenging & painful. I wish they would use IVs to up his fluids to make him more comfortable & his body systems function better but I believe that they won’t do that, per SIL…

To add to what Pgroup said. The doctor at emergency was surprised that I was aware of my low blood O2 content. Most people do not even notice and will go unconscious without much warning.

This is a serious question: What is it that we’re supposed to glean from SD’s statements? I know how they strike me, but I want to know what others think.

SD:

I’m going to say this again, real simple. And I will keep saying it until enough people realize what it means.

What are people supposed to realize it means?

SD:

The only thing that makes sense is that the FBI wants this activity to take place…

This is not complicated.

The FBI and DHS support Antifa. If they did not support them, the FBI and DHS would stop them.

Remember this…

He says the FBI and DHS support Antifa. I want to know what people think the implications of that are. The FBI supports Antifa, and so…

• The FBI director is not working with Pres. Trump but is working against him and the country. Does that mean Kash is being paid off, is a traitor, or what?
• Pres. Trump is clueless about all of it. He knows about the riots, but he has no idea that the riots could be stopped if the FBI would just step in, so he is not making any efforts toward that end.
• Alternatively, Pres. Trump completely supports the FBI not “doing its job” because he’s in on some scheme.
• Anyone in the administration who sees what is going on (which should be everyone, since these riots are in the news) is looking the other way as well.

If any of the above were true, what would the implications be? All I can see is that the people we have in positions of power in this administration would be corrupt to the core, possibly even including Pres. Trump.

Do people think that is what SD is saying? Please fill me in on what I’m missing.

If that is what SD is saying, do people agree with him? If not, then why do statements of his, like these, not invite major pushback?

Sir ES

The only thing in the Universe that “makes sense” is the MIND.

To say that something “doesn’t make sense” is a perfect example of psychological projection.

It is WE who either make sense of something, or don’t make sense (yet) of that something.

As for SD, he made a bad conclusion – it may or may not be true, yet he presents it as the only logical conclusion.

TheseTruths

As for SD, he made a bad conclusion – it may or may not be true, yet he presents it as the only logical conclusion.

Are people okay with his presenting his own bad conclusion as the only logical one? If not, why does he get a pass? I don’t understand why people continue to award him the status that they do when he produces material like this that has major implications.

In addition, while he states outright that “The FBI and DHS support Antifa,” and he says, “I will keep saying it until enough people realize what it means,” he stops short of saying what he thinks it actually means (hence my questions, above).

IMO that gives him cover to not be held responsible for his statements and the things they are implying. Also IMO, that places doubts in people’s minds and keeps them tuning in for more “insights.” Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

prairierose123

You make a great point, I have always thought SD considered himself the “smartest person in the room” but with what he’s writing these days, it feels more like a Tucker/Candance turnaround, more division, I suppose. And he gets a free pass because he blocks anyone that disagrees with him in the comments. Tbh, I rarely read over there any more.

So, I replaced the two dead CREE bulbs with new CREE bulbs. The light seems very similar, but the damned things have more of a delay before they light up. The ones at Lowe’s are also not from Racine, WI — they’re from Thailand.

I’m rather disappointed that I spent so much effort to duplicate the bulbs and yet fell short.

I should probably go and check them at 50% dim, but frankly haven’t the heart…..

OK, I’m back — when I dim the circuit….the new bulbs are more dim than the old bulbs. They don’t match.

They’re generic shit bulbs, and all my effort to maintain brand loyalty was in vain.

I love how the bear opened the door and then looked left as it opened, like it was making sure all was okay. 😅

We had one saunter across the public golf course while golfers were playing behind our home three days ago. A real estate developer has been cutting in roads and utilities in an adjacent 160 acre tract that has disturbed the habitat of the wildlife around us. So there have been more “incidents” than normal lately.

Neighbors saw it on their Ring cameras and enjoyed watching the golfers freaking out. 😄

The bears will walk down the middle of the street in tourist season in Gatlinburg. All of the businesses are now required to have bear proof dumpsters.

Just think what fun they will have if that NO KILL Oregon petition passes.

Oregon has 25,000 to 30,000 black bears (No grizzlys… yet) Oregon’s has 30 gray wolf packs and increasing. There are approximately 300,000 coyotes in Oregon INCLUDING in Portland.

And yes they will attack LINK I know of 2 attacks. A coyote took off with the 2 yr old daughter of a friend of my B-I-L in the Boston area and one of the hunters hunting my property got a leg torn up. He climbed a tree and managed to shoot the pack leader.

The true number is not known because the US government quit keeping the data after PETA reared its ugly commie head.

But are they required to have bear-proof doors?

That seems important to me.

they can’t tell you what a woman IS, but they want to empower them to force employers to give them PAID time off while they’re menstruating. Don’t most companies offer sick days? now they need to offer period days as well. If this nonsense passes, I can see lawsuits from transgenders claiming they are being discriminating against.

For the crowd that doesn’t seem to be able to define what a woman is, Democrat Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) recently went full ‘girl power’ during a press conference.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva used the phrase while promoting a bill that has 28 Democratic cosponsors and zero Republicans
“It’s why during Women’s History Month, I’ve introduced legislation to give workers up to 12 days of paid leave a year for reproductive health. This would cover period pain, yes, but also menopause symptoms, IVF miscarriages, endometriosis flare-ups, and more.”

What a CROCK! I had MAJOR problems to the point I was even told by a college prof to go home he did not want me fainting in his class room. However I crawled to work every day.

There are now various medications that can get you thru those problems. ALSO what about the people who go to work suffering from chronic back pain and such?

patfrederick

who are the worst of the worst in our country? liberal white women. who do these idiots want to appeal to? again liberal white women who think they are entitled to everything. they could care less about menstruation–they are pandering to the most entitled selfish demographic in the country in the last possible way imo.

could start an interesting war–between liberal white women and transgenders tho.

Cotton over chemicals: How Trump’s USDA is Making America’s Fabric Great Again

In years past, the U.S. was referred to as “King Cotton” for its prodigious output of the fiber wanted by the rest of the world. The “Plant Not Plastic” initiative may see a rebirth of that sentiment…

Working in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the campaign highlights cotton’s superior breathability, biodegradability, and reduced microplastic shedding—addressing growing concerns about synthetic fibers releasing thousands of plastic particles annually into the environment and potentially into our bodies. 

By elevating demand for American cotton through education, procurement incentives, and alignment with the bipartisan Buying American Cotton Act, the initiative simultaneously boosts rural economies, restores domestic textile manufacturing, and advances the Trump administration’s MAHA goals of practical, preventive wellness through everyday choices…

I think there is a LOT more to this than meets the eye.

How do you kill the ‘Biofuel’ SCAM? You give farmers a DIFFERENT more useful crop to raise. Both Cotton and HEMP are great crops with many uses. Cotton has similar water & fertilizer needs to corn.

The many uses of hemp and Top 10 Modern Uses For Hemp: A Revolutionary Plant
Hemp Farming: The Answers You Need

Compared to other crops grown on an industrial scale, hemp is more eco-friendly. The plant has over 25,000 uses and is much easier to take of and maintain. Compared to corn, hemp requires less water, fertilizer, and pesticides.

From my old notes:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1725975,00.html

The Clean Energy Scam – The U.S. quintupled its production of ethanol–ethyl alcohol, a fuel distilled from plant matter–in the past decade, and Washington has just mandated another fivefold increase in renewable fuels over the next decade. Europe has similarly aggressive biofuel mandates and subsidies, and Brazil’s filling stations no longer even offer plain gasoline. Worldwide investment in biofuels rose from $5 billion in 1995 to $38 billion in 2005 and is expected to top $100 billion by 2010, thanks to investors like Richard Branson and George Soros, GE and BP, Ford and Shell, Cargill and the Carlyle Group.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-14/biofuel-production-a-crime-against-humanity/2403402

Biofuels ‘crime against humanity’ – Massive production of biofuels is “a crime against humanity” because of its impact on global food prices, a UN official has told German radio. “Producing biofuels today is a crime against humanity,” UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food Jean Ziegler told Bayerischer Runfunk radio. Many observers have warned that using arable land to produce crops for biofuels has reduced surfaces available to grow food. Mr Ziegler called on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to change its policies on agricultural subsidies and to stop supporting only programs aimed at debt reduction. He says agriculture should also be subsidised in regions where it ensures the survival of local populations. Meanwhile, in response to a call by the IMF and World Bank over the weekend to a food crisis that is stoking violence and political instability, German Foreign Minister Peer Steinbrueck gave his tacit backing.

[QUOTE]
a study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) concludes that if every vehicle in the U.S. ran on ethanol-based fuel, the number of respiratory-related deaths and hospitalizations would likely increase.
You read that right, widespread use of E85 would likely result in an increase in respiratory-related deaths and hospitalizations.
Stanford University atmospheric chemist Mark Z. Jacobson, author of the study said (2):

“Ethanol is being promoted as a clean and renewable fuel that will reduce global warming and air pollution, but our results show that a high blend of ethanol poses an equal or greater risk to public health than gasoline, which already causes significant health damage.”

…Brazil is the only country in the world where a large-scale ethanol fuel program, introduced in 1979, has been implemented. By 1997, approximately 4 million Brazilian automobiles ran on neat ethanol (100% ethanol) and another 9 million ran on an ethanol-gasoline blend (22% ethanol) (4). Since the introduction of ethanol fuel in Brazil, several studies on air quality have been conducted that confirm Jacobson’s recent projections.
In 1990, the concentration of ambient acetaldehyde was determined to be the most abundant carbonyl in three major cities of Brazil (5). Indeed, acetaldehyde concentrations in urban areas of Brazil were substantially higher than concentrations measured elsewhere in the world, and was thought to be the result of large-scale ethanol fuel use. A more recent study measuring the ambient concentrations of up to 61 carbonyls in Rio de Janeiro found that the most abundant were formaldehyde and acetaldehyde (6). The authors ranked measured carbonyls with respect to ozone formation potential and reaction with OH and found that ozone formation is dominated by formaldehyde (43% of total) followed by acetaldehyde (32%)…
[UNQUOTE]

🙄http://woods.stanford.edu/docs/biofuels/BiofuelsCommentary.pdf (Access Denied — The page you have requested is restricted.

Archived... They forgot to scrub that.

Ethanol’s local air quality impact also may be underestimated. While ethanol is

commonly believed to be a cleaner burning fuel relative to gasoline, ethanol in fact may not provide any local air quality advantage over gasoline. New research suggests that while vehicles powered with E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) generally emit less

toluene, xylene, and nitrogen oxides compared with gasoline-powered cars, they emit

more acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and total organic gas. These conditions increase

ozone in Los Angeles and the northeast and decrease ozone slightly in the southeast,

relative to gasoline, causing an overall increase in population-weighted ozone health

problems in the U.S. Thus, replacing gasoline with a high-ethanol blend may result in no improvement in local air quality and its associated health effects; substituting E85 for gasoline could result in a roughly equivalent – or possibly greater – number of cases of air-pollution-related asthma, respiratory disease, and premature death in the U.S. (4)

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 Monday, June 1, 2026

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR GENESIS 1:26

Genesis is a name taken from the Greek, and signifies “the book of generation or production;” it is properly so called, as containing an account of the origin of all things. There is no other history so old. There is nothing in the most ancient book which exists that contradicts it; while many things recorded by the oldest heathen writers, or to be traced in the customs of different nations, confirm what is related in the book of Genesis.God creates heaven and earth. (1,2) The creation of light. (3-5) God separates the earth from the waters, and makes it fruitful. (6-13) God forms the sun, moon, and stars. (14-19) Animals created. (20-25) Man created in the image of God. (26-28) Food appointed. (29,30) The work of creation ended and approved. (31)

26-28 Man was made last of all the creatures: this was both an honour and a favour to him. Yet man was made the same day that the beasts were; his body was made of the same earth with theirs; and while he is in the body, he inhabits the same earth with them. God forbid that by indulging the body, and the desires of it, we should make ourselves like the beasts that perish! Man was to be a creature different from all that had been hitherto made. Flesh and spirit, heaven and earth, must be put together in him. God said, “Let us make man.” Man, when he was made, was to glorify the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Into that great name we are baptized, for to that great name we owe our being. It is the soul of man that especially bears God’s image. Man was made upright, #Ec 7:29|. His understanding saw Divine things clearly and truly; there were no errors or mistakes in his knowledge; his will consented at once, and in all things, to the will of God. His affections were all regular, and he had no bad appetites or passions. His thoughts were easily brought and fixed to the best subjects. Thus holy, thus happy, were our first parents in having the image of God upon them. But how is this image of God upon man defaced! May the Lord renew it upon our souls by his grace!

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 Monday! It is now June, which used to be heralded as ‘Pride Month’— an Orwellian historical fixture that is rapidly fading into memory (but more on that tomorrow). Today, our roundup focuses on the 21st Century Mind War into which we have all been recruited against our will: the New York Times’ latest “news analysis” piece, courtesy of 30-year deep state mouthpiece David Sanger, declaring Trump’s foreign policy a “stalemate”; a quick tour of Fifth Generation Warfare and the velocity-of-information revolution that made it possible; an embarrassingly prescient warning from the progressive Brennan Center, published in October 2019— months before they would have needed it; the bizarre “gay ayatollah” psyop the intelligence community ran at Mojtaba Khamenei in March; the Globe and Mail’s astonishing late-arriving walkback of the Kamloops “mass graves” hoax that torched over thirty Canadian churches and moved hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars; and a clear-eyed look at the three conflicts Sanger says Trump is losing— and which Trump is actually winning. Let’s connect some dots!

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/obama-secretly-gifted-thousands-green-cards-radical-iranian/
FTA “Since 2017, Iranians have widely discussed reports that the Obama administration granted a number of U.S. Green Cards (variously reported as 2,500 or 2,800) to Khomeiniist regime leaders as part of a secret codicil to the 2015 nuclear deal, the JCPOA. This allegation was first published on February 14th of that year by Amad News, an outlet founded by dissident Ruhollah Zam, who was later lured into a trap by IRGC intelligence, forcibly taken to Iran, summarily tried, and then executed in 2020. At the time, the story did not gain traction in the West, though it was covered by prominent outlets such as Al Arabiya.
President Trump, by directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to search for these individuals and send them back to Iran, is not only protecting his country’s security from possible spies and infiltrators; he is also responding to the desire of the Iranian people.Having watched their country driven toward economic ruin by rulers who chant “Death to America,” many can only smirk in anger when they see the families of those same rulers—who appropriated national wealth—spending it on lives of luxury in the very same “Great Satan,” America. ICE’s actions, however, are only a beginning. If there are more than 2,000 Green Card recipients, then many more may remain to be located, apprehended, and deported.

Housing fraud in Hawaii
A former Hawai‘i County housing official was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison over a scheme that defrauded the county for nearly $11 million.

Alan Scott Rudo, 59, was a housing specialist at the Hawai‘i County Office of Housing and Community Development between 2006 and 2018. During his tenure at the department, Rudo conspired with accomplices to fraudulently award housing development agreements and affordable housing credits to those accomplices’ businesses, pocketing about $1.9 million in bribes and kickbacks.

Through those development agreements, the companies received land valued at about $10.9 million, on which they never built a single unit of housing. The conspirators then sold or transferred the land and the affordable housing credits for a tidy profit.

Rudo was charged in 2022 with conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud; he pled guilty that same day. Rudo testified at a 2025 trial of his co-conspirators, and was himself sentenced in U.S. District Court on Thursday.

Judge Jill Otake handed down a sentence of 46 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

In a sentencing statement submitted to the court, Rudo apologized for his actions.

“I betrayed the trust the community placed in me and I caused harm that I can never take back,” Rudo wrote. “I think about that every day and I accept full responsibility for my actions. There is no excuse for the choices I made.”

Rudo wrote the investigation has cost him his marriage, his home and his career, and has forced him to “rebuild [himself] from the ground up.” He said he chose to cooperate with the investigation against his former associates “because it was the right thing to do,” and that he is “committed to doing better.”

His associates — attorney Paul Sulla, 79, of Hilo; attorney Gary Zamber, 56, of Kea‘au; and businessman Rajesh Budhabhatti, 65, formerly of the Big Island — were themselves charged with conspiracy to commit honest services wife fraud and nine counts of honest services wire fraud, and the three were convicted by a federal jury in 2025.

Rudo’s co-conspirators were sentenced earlier this year. Zamber was sentenced to 70 months in prison in January, Budhabhatti was sentenced to 90 months in February and Sulla was sentenced to 60 months in April.

UNIONS! now the state workers’ union of CA is fighting Newscum’s order to RETURN TO WORKING IN THE OFFICE rather than teleworking–claiming it will harm the environment and cause traffic jams–nearly 6 YEARS after covid sent them home.

(The Daily Caller)—A state workers’ union is trying to stop Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mandate that state employees work in person on the supposed grounds that this will somehow be bad for the environment.

Newsom issued a mandate in May — more than six years after the COVID-19 outbreak — ordering state employees to work in-person for a minimum of four days per week.

State employee union California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers in State Employment (CASE) issued letters on May 27 to state agencies, claiming that Newsom’s return-to-work order did not use the policiesset in place by a more than five-decade-old environmental law.

The union’s letters went to over 100 state agencies, according to the Sacramento Bee.

CASE claims in one of its letters that the return-to-office order will “require hundreds of thousands of additional monthly commutes by state workers, creating hundreds of thousands of new car trips and thousands of tons of additional air pollution from automobile tailpipes.”

“CASE’s objective here is to ensure that telework decisions are made thoughtfully and transparently rather than through blanket mandates that undermine California’s climate goals,” the letter states.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the law CASE cited, requires that state and local agencies evaluate the significant environmental impacts of proposed projects and take all measures to reduce or eliminate those impacts, according to the California Attorney General’s website. The CEQA was signed into law by then-governor Ronald Reagan in 1970.

CEQA is known for postponing the construction of new homes, according to the outlet. CASE, however, argued that the environmental consequences of the return-to-work policy must be reviewed under the longstanding environmental legislation.

CASE threatened to sue if the CEQA review does not take place, according to Reason Magazine.

This environmental law has often been used to attempt to block policies and projects disliked in California since the lawsuits which come from it are slow to be resolved, according to the outlet. For example, petitioners in Berkley used CEQA to delay the University of California from building more student housing since the school had not evaluated the potential noise pollution the potential residents of the new building would cause.

CASE’s letter pushes for agencies to evaluate if it’s really necessary for all state employees to work in-person. This is not the first attempt at stopping Newsom’s return-to-work order, according to the Sacramento Bee. There have been multiple other attempts to end Newsom’s return-to-work order by unions, labor groups, and government employees.

In 2025, anonymous government employees paid for billboards which warned of increased traffic in California due to the mandate, the outlet reported. Labor groups also sued the state, claiming the return-to-work order breached California labor laws.

Rep. Gill: Texas Just Sent a Message the Establishment Will Never Forget

patfrederick

I was frantic a little earlier–Mom was not answering her phone all day. Finally I called the front desk, told them who I am, and that I was calling all day and she didn’t answer. The woman I spoke to, said oh, she’s down playing Trivia, but I’ll check her phone and have her call you when she’s done playing.

I can’t stop giggling. My mom is not the sort to play trivia–she has no interest in many of the categories. And a room full of “moms” playing trivia just has me giggling harder. to be a fly on the wall…

Valerie Curren

Glad she’s OK…maybe she’s the entertainment in the room 😉

Kalbo,
Mr Gil was told by a coworker to look at Minden, nv for retirement. Soth lake tahoe side? Ive never been to reno or tahoe. Seems to be a very small town. Not sure how good thatd be for kiddo. Any familiarity w the area? Ty!

kalbokalbs

Some.

Minden beautiful area. Literally just below Eastern Sierra’s.

Minden / Gardnerville. Both small cities have seamless borders. (Pass from one city, to the other, without realizing it.) US 395, main road, passes right through both. Speed limit 25-45 within cities. .At Minden, NV88/CA88 crosses Sierras. Wonderful drive. No maniac drivers as 80 and 50 always have.

Fast growing area. Along with prices. Nice folks. Back in 2014/15, we looked at Minden/Gardnerville.

  • At that time, inventory and prices sent us a bit NNE to Dayton. We were happy in Dayton.
  • Worth a look. Suggest a weekend trip (Minden, Gardnerville, Dayton and Yerington) to get a feel of sorts.
  • Likely Minden and Gardnerville lots of home building.

Weather. Pay attention to winter temps. C O L D.

  • BIG change from your present neck of the woods. Weather.com average monthly temps a good place to look.
  • Sustained wind…as Minden/Gardnerville foot of Eastern Sierra’s.
  • Summer hot.
  • Dayton and Yerington likely less wind and slightly better temps. Weather.com average monthly temps…

Kiddo.

  • Home schooling takes care of that. NV schools, suck. But then I figure most schools suck. Though, schools gotta be better than CA.
  • Lots of history in the area. Virginia City, Mono Lake, Bodie, Devils Post Pile, Sierras an awesome year-round playground for ALL ages. Steam locomotive train rides in Carson City and Virginia City. Latter the best.

If I were relocating to Northern NV, Yerington is where I’d go.

  • I am fully retired.

100% I’d avoid Washoe county (Reno/Sparks) and Carson City. Cost, crowds, crime, smog nonsense…

  • Smog crap only in Clark county, Washoe county and Carson City.

IF I were relocating again, which I hope to never do. My state preference order.

  • TN, FL, AR, TX, OR any Red State.
  • NV is not Red. Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Sparks and Carson City ruin the state.
  • MT would be awesome. But I could never take the weather.
kalbokalbs

Slightly up OR, is Not Oregon. The word, or.   :wpds_wink: 

Another edit. Maybe take a look at Fernley area. I-80.

Ty. MT but eastern and sd wedtern i still look. Dunno if TN is doable based on how growth is but i dont know where to start. . Western KY is nice. Thsts what i thought that you left bc its not red.

kalbokalbs

Seriously, road trip is appropriate. Gotta see it. Feel it.

Wouldn’t toss TN, unless ya see it. Branch out from popular cities. Betcha lots of Great places, which are very affordable.

KY, absolutely. MT, SD also absolutely.

IF Mr. Gil is retiring, you have greater flexibility.

gil00

Yes he will be able unless something unforseen. We wont leave unless he does. Hes still maxxingnout health contributions and deferred savings.

kalbokalbs

Going silent on this stuff, unless asked.

Quite the puzzle you have to sort out.

gil00

You know what you know or infer. But we arent quite ready yet. 😉

cthulhu

As a CPA, when I wanted to sort it out…..I made a spreadsheet.

Aubergine

If you want to live in Montana, Western is best. East of the Divide, the wind blows ALL the time.

gil00

Ty. Its getting clear that out migration from urban areas is changing places. I looked at minden houses on redgin… modtly 3/2 size sf about 2000k but prices avg about 700k. Thats way to much for us. We need a cheaper home outside ca when we sell not more expensive, esp we have 4/2.5 w a decently roomy backyard, no pool.

kalbokalbs

100%. Even in 2025, Minden was too pricey for us. Four adults and 2 Grands at the time. These days, three adults. Son aid for 1/2 home.

Back to your world.

  • NV wise, Yerington certainly worth looking at.
  • Quite seriously. Along I-80, Fernley, Winnemucca or Elko.

I would be content, happy in any of those four cities.

gil00

I will tell all this to mr gil. Ty for the info.

TradeBait2

TN – three states of TN. West is flatter, hotter, more agricultural outside of Memphis metro. and Jackson. Central – Nashville is urban cowboy with good areas surrounding the metro. More hills, but population growth is great. Pricey until you move a bit further out. You travel over the plateau to get to Knoxville. The plateau towns of Cookeville and Crossville are nice, reasonable pricing, a little cooler than the rest of the state, but subject to some storms in spring at times.

East TN is where it is at IMO. Of course I’m biased. Knoxville, Tri-cities of Bristol/Johnson City/Kingsport, Chattanooga. More temperate in Knoxville and Tri-cities. Chattanooga is more aligned with Atlanta due to its location with temps in a similar range. Mountains, lakes, rivers, wildlife, etc. or just go urban. 3/2 2000 K SF would go for as little as $300 – 550,000 subject to market it is in. Schools do not suck in some areas. School performance varies and can be checked at the state level. Some of the more rural and inner city schools are not much, same as everywhere else.

My preference is east to west – east, plateau, central, west – but it is whatever you like the best.

kalbokalbs

Thanks for chiming in. Helpful insights, from an insider.

TradeBait2

👍 👊

gil00

Ty. Ill tell that to mr gil too.

Aubergine

Just keep in mind, if you aren’t accustomed to it, the humidity in the South is…challenging.

I loved it when I lived there, and can handle it still. But I’ve taken Westerners down there and they thought they were going to die.

cthulhu

The most infamous humidity is on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. If you get up above the “fall line” (closest waterfall to the ocean on major rivers), it gets much better in the “Piedmont”. [Pie d’ mont — foot of mountains (= hills)]

Yes, I grew up in Northeastern Georgia, where the humidity is “tolerable.” Except to Westerners, who think 30% humidity is too high!

Lol, it cracks me up that people up here are so adapted to such a dry climate. I run humidifiers a lot.

gil00

I think having lived in an arid Mediterranean type climate my whole life the humidity would do just that.🫨

cthulhu

Having grown-up in SoCal, I feel much the same way. But each “southern” state has distinct regions — some of which are swampier than others.

And, by the way, little things like raining year-round, fire ants, beach flies that bite, and venomous snakes that don’t rattle are all going to bother you until you get used to them.

gil00

😬 🤔 eek!

Aubergine

Look up chiggers.

gil00

No chiggers here but im bit like crazy by mosquitoes all the time. My lower legs kinda look like that. I but the spray antihistamine and use it every spring n summer.

gil00

My gil prob does. I dont think id mind some but not living deep in it every year. How are you post long covid and winter? Every time im sick now its bad upper respiratory.

Aubergine

The weather I have in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana is probably better than around Lake Tahoe.

They call it the “banana belt” of Montana. Sure, it gets really cold sometimes. But we don’t get anything close to the amount of snow they get in Tahoe. And we don’t get the constant wind, either. I could never live east of the Divide. I’d lose it in the constant wind.

kalbokalbs

That is interesting. The things I wish I had known…   :wpds_smile: 

cthulhu

AR is beautiful.

However, it suffers from “major city-itis”, where one city is so dominant that it thinks it runs the state. Other examples are Portland, OR; SLC, UT; Boston, MA; NYC, NY; Atlanta, GA; Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO; Chicago, IL; Las Vegas, NV….and several more.

In addition, there is more tornado risk in AR than in Kansas, Dorothy notwithstanding.

gil00

Its perfect if youre happy, thats what matters.

Trump Revealed The [DS] Plan Months Ago, His Latest Move Completed The Counterinsurgency – Ep. 3917
 June 1, 2026  x22report

https://x22report.com/trump-revealed-the-ds-plan-months-ago-his-latest-move-completed-the-counterinsurgency-ep-3917/

The fake news, the D’s/[CB] trying to push the idea that the economy is worse than Biden, actually it is the opposite. Average inflation under Biden 5% and under Trump 2.8% soon to go way down. The [CB] establishment tricked us with Social Security, it originally started as voluntary and it wouldn’t be taxed. [CB] panicking that they will have to compete with crypto currency. The [DS] tactics to delay Trump is failing, the courts are continually ruling in his favor and he deporting the worst of the worst, he is removing the [DS] army that they brought into this country. He told us the plan months ago, the [DS] will attack and he will use the insurrection act. He is rebuilding DC and turning on the fountains, he is now completing the counterinsurgency.

Looks like it’s Larry Ellison’s turn to take the hot seat.

The Billionaire Behind the Senate: How Larry Ellison Funds the War on Trump

Barbara Boyd argues the Senate’s repeated blocking of Donald Trump’s agenda is driven less by narrow Republican margins than by powerful donor networks, focusing on Oracle founder Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair.

She profiles Ellison’s major political spending (including backing Tim Scott, Lindsey Graham, and the NRSC) and links it to Senate leadership under John Thune, a longtime Mitch McConnell protégé aligned with the postwar globalist order.

The episode claims Blair’s Tony Blair Institute—funded heavily by Ellison—spent years building a case for regime change in Iran, working through venues like CFR and UANI, but Trump limited action to strikes on nuclear infrastructure without regime change.

Boyd says Blair is now rebranding via a “Radical Center” manifesto while advancing surveillance and digital ID models, and urges overwhelming midterm victories to “shock” or replace Senate obstructionists.

Hey Guys,

Please pray for my dad, again. He’s apparently contracted some pretty contagious gut bug & now our planned visit for tomorrow has to be put off. We’re aiming for Thursday if Dad’s up to it. He slept through most of the day yesterday & our visit tomorrow was to either be from noon to two or four to six. They are keeping dad comfortable but also protective of what energy he is able to muster.

My middle bro, in OK, has tasked me with writing up Dad’s obit since I’m “the family historian”, so I’d also appreciate prayer for God’s guidance on how to honor my father while also glorifying Our Father…these are interesting times & rather draining for many of us…  💔    💔 

Thanks for thinking of my family & praying for us…again. God Bless You ALL!

So sorry Valerie, 🙏

Valerie Curren

TY, I appreciate your thoughts & prayers 🙂

gil00

Hope all calms down and is ok.

Valerie Curren

TY Gil. Me too…

Aubergine

Praying for you.

As far as the obituary goes, please include all the personal and interesting information that you can about him. Someday a hundred years from now, some researcher will be so excited to find something other than a list of his relatives. His interests, hobbies, maybe even a favorite quote, book, song, or whatever. Those are the best kind of thing to find about someone from long ago that you never got to know.

Valerie Curren

Great thoughts. I know that I would appreciate finding such an obit on an ancestor too.

cthulhu

You might casually ask your dad. “With this hospice thing, I’m supposed to regularly update an obituary so we don’t have that to panic about. I’ve got plenty of material, but what things would it irritate you to have left out?”

Valerie Curren

I don’t honestly know that he is That conversational. My bro has been pretty protective of Dad & any sort of stressful conversations or activities for quite a while now. Things absolutely depend on how he’s doing. He doesn’t want to interact over the phone, & hasn’t for a while, so being in person is the only way to get my own sense of how he is. My son Brandon saw him a few days ago, when I was still Up North, & had some quality time, possibly his last, with him. Dad was alert enough to “supervise” some of the deck tear-down going on at little bro’s house apparently…

TheseTruths

I’m sorry your dad has something else to deal with. 🙏

Also, I can’t help but wonder who is telling you when you can and can’t visit him and how much time you are allowed to spend in his presence. (Forgive me if this is inappropriate.)

Valerie Curren

TY TT. On the one hand “the door is always open” & on the other we have to be sensitive to their household schedule & Dad’s status. We were going tomorrow until the gut bug, very contagious, was discovered…As my little brother has said several times “juggling flaming chainsaws will continue indefinitely”…

Fortunately my 2 oldest sons were able to visit in recent days at least…

TheseTruths

🙏 🙏 🙏

Valerie Curren

TY–Blessings!
