This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

On the semi-Q-centennial
As our nation’s 250th birthday approaches in just hours, I wish to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you who is reading this, for being here.
Many others have come and gone, but you have remained. You have persisted. You have persevered.
The Q movement is/was/will be a worthy endeavor. I find it somewhat humorous to say that, when we’re not fully sure what the Q op actually was, or who was ultimately behind it, but I do know this – the Trump administration “played ball with Q” very well, and continues to do so.
The fact that you chose to take part in this thing, despite not knowing exactly what you were signing up for, and that you ultimately did bear whatever costs you incurred for following Q, is something that I admire, and it is why I respect YOU, as an individual.
I love the fact that the Trump administration is now not only openly referencing the Q postings and movement memes, but has strongly linked “Q” to “quantum”. You should note that the word “quantum” never appears in any of the Q drops. I find that fascinating in a good and perhaps very professional way.
Of course, everything “Q clearance” is deeply tied to quantum mechanics, so I’m not particularly surprised that “Q” is now being linked to “quantum science” – including quantum computing. We are in exciting times, and our VSG POTUS has fully embraced the “big Q” of science.
There may be more surprises in store. Enjoy the show!
As you celebrate this weekend, please say a prayer for those members of our crew who are no longer with us, and particularly those who are no longer in this world with us. I will start with a few pictures – feel free to add the others that I have forgotten – both their screen names and any memorial images you can suggest.
They were patriots. Remember that!
May those who have passed, all rest easy with The Lord and the God of Our Fathers in Heaven.

Agreed!
Excellent article.
Love it!
So SCOTUS is like the Wizard of Oz – a huge voice behind a curtain, accompanied by light and sound effects.
The secret answer is to pull back the curtain, so to speak.
And the DJT admin is busy pulling the solution out from between the lines while the Totos of the MAGA world bark furiously. .
LOL!!!
BARK!!! BARK!!! BARK!!!

hmmmm…any way to relitigate this to present this?
Yes but the attorney who does this puts his/her bar card at risk.
It could be argued that such an act is presumptive bad faith for failure to follow SCOTUS precedent.
prior SCOTUS decisions have been overturned, no?
they are not infallible after all.
It could also be argued that such an act is Constitutional good faith for refusal to follow SCOTUS error!
Depends on who is in charge.
Exactly.
Which party has acted in bad faith?
The putative attorney who files, or the actual deficient ruling of SCOTUS?
What if the latter is in bad faith toward the Constitution (and its lawful Amendments)? It’s the SUPREME Law of the Land, higher than the SC!
And, We The People outrank even the Constitution, by virtue of the power to throw out the Govt (and if necessary, the Constitution).
The INITIAL and FINAL arbiter, the ALPHA and OMEGA, is God.
Our problem, in this physical realm, is that your closing sentence, while true, is NOT in this realm.
Ergo, the ultimate ‘boss’ in this realm, however imperfect, must stand as if it is the final arbiter.
At this point in time & space, it is SCOTUS.
Rather than chafe at that reality, make peace with it so that your agency and your energy can be expended toward spreading the Good News – that Heaven’s doors are open.
>>> “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens…” <<<
I posted yesterday,
[QUOTE]
Fortunately, we have the highest possible authority on record to answer this question of how the term “jurisdiction” was to be interpreted and applied, the author of the citizenship clause, Sen. Jacob M. Howard (MI) to tell us exactly what it means and its intended scope as he introduced it to the United States Senate in 1866:
NOTE THE COMMAS!
From: The UnConstitutionality of Citizenship by Birth to Non-Americans
There is a lot more at that site.
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, 👈 aliens, 👈 who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”
That could imply that everyone born in the US, except “families of ambassadors or foreign ministers”, is a citizen of the US, fwiw…
The better argument, in my opinion, is that the original Amendment did NOT confer citizenship to Native Americans. That had to be done later.
So how is a Native American at the time, born on reservation land within the United States, different from a Chinese national?
If the NA had to be declared American citizens LATER by The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, wouldn’t there have to be a law, NOT the 14th Amendment, declaring Chinese nationals born on U.S. soil as citizens?
This point has been made all over. The 14th Amendment applied to the children of SLAVES ONLY. The Native American exclusion from the Amendment proves it.
Great historical context!
Excellent argument!!!
Ok, your post was more timely!
In any event, it bore repeating, and demonstrates the converging consonance of Q-Treepers with the Anons-of-8kun.
Advertisers LOVE repetition!
Kudos to you…
I want to make sure people see that the WRITER of the 14th made it clear Foreigners and Aliens were NOT covered by dirt citizenship.
Again Scotus betrayed the US citizens just as they did when the “Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn (1942) that even home gardens (in that case, a farmer’s growing wheat for his own consumption) are subject to federal laws that regulate interstate commerce…
Yikes! So ACB = Airhead Consensus Broad?

33:50 Secret Blue State Birthright citizenship agreement to protect gains (Dem voters)
36:10 is about WHO chose Amy. — Lenard Leo of the Federalist.
41:30 is the discussion of Justice Thomas’ 91 page comment
Leonard Leo became fabulously rich from the company he worked for (40 years +/-), and was in the position to manufacture exactly what the market needed. IIRC, he shifted to batteries (of some sort) for computers, from prior commercial lighting.
In any event, his agenda is purely his own, and PDJT relied on him to submit ~20 names for SC candidates.
Recently (the past year or two), PDJT regretted his advice – to wit, ACB, and perhaps one or two others.
Leo is 100% committed to Catholicism, and has pursued power relentlessly over the years.
Lotta vanity there…
Genius!
That one is excellent! 🤣
The propaganda is on our side. When we’re done, everybody who is OK with this shit – including the justices in SCOTUS, are going to look like the DOLTS they are.
i think maybe restricting pregnant women from coming here will force a new lawsuit and this issue can be made specifically to strike down their ignorant ruling.
JMO – it’s intentional. They are told what to do and how to vote openly or through other methods by their handlers. Some are programmed, some have been plants, some have been blackmailed.
But assume there is no back channel control. It’s human nature to try to achieve beyond your current standing and capabilities. However, the Peter Principle is real and always applies. It takes wisdom and discernment to know when you personally need to stop.
Example: Assume you are a reasonably intelligent female attorney who has a deep yearning to progress in your chosen career to be a judge. You happen to be liberal, a progressive in the “fight for equality” of your gender and the other “oppressed” in society that has been programmed into you since birth. You strongly believe in the ‘breaking the glass ceiling’ concept that has been planted in your brain since a child that has been fertilized through your family, schooling, media, and other influencers. Deep within you there is push to break through. Then one day political operatives appear in your life to assist you on your steady march to achieve your ambitions.
Say hello to Elena, Sonia and Ketanji. Those three have been proven to be political operatives that have no desire to follow the Constitution as written unless it can be used to accomplish the goals of the political beliefs of their handlers and programmers. They typically vote en bloc on matters of major importance and always against the founding beliefs and documents of our nation. Not a single one of them have the intellectual horsepower in their profession to be a SCOTUS justice if no politics are involved.
But it doesn’t stop there. On the other side of the spectrum within the RINO uniparty are O’Connor and Barrett. Same deal, just using a bit more clandestine methodology in their placement. Barrett had never even been a judge until Trump made her one in the first term. Thank Turtle for that influence and the 52-48 Senate confirmation vote that followed. The same Turtle that has undermined MAGA since it began.
Of course along the way there have been plenty of beta men justices to assist the process. Manipulated incompetency is equal opportunity in its placement and usage.
So you’re saying that created equal doesn’t mean equal misery?
The commies are wrong???
Then why won’t they die???
Where’s my wooden stake when we need it?
Agree 100%.
They are, and have been, “playing the game” (for their individual gain).
And Q posted that anyone “Playing the GAME” will suffer the consequences.
They ain’t as SLICK as they think! The “Time to pay the Piper!” is quite near.
I wonder how much US tax payer money is funneled into this via NGOs. (United Nations) Think the Catholic and Lutheran NGOs.
Too much. Way too much.
Then birth citizenship is BIG Business!
What’s he referring to? The clip is to short to know. Hopefully he means total control of the evidence against the DS activities.
Yes, I think that is what he means.
FWIW, Some think the Q team used Quantum computers and game theory to game out the war against the Deep State.
We are dealing with 5th Gen Warfare so countering the 100 year Deep State Psy-op and tearing the blindfold off the eyes of the American people was critical.
Look at three WINS.
People are waking up to the fact much of their tax money is eaten up by various methods of FRAUD.
USAID ==> NGOs ==> Dem Operatives pockets with maybe 3% going to vote buying.
Federal and State programs SCAMMED to the tune of millions and billions of dollars.
Then there is Voter Fraud. ~80% of Americans want Voter ID and safe elections.
Now we have Illegals & birth-right citizenship
The Deep State has worked very very hard to give ICE a black eye.

So that is three different people in three different states finding land deal fraud involving politicians.
…
Josh Reid mentioned that if the Save Act does pass, Marc Elias will spring into action and tie it up in court for at least a couple of years.
I wonder if Elias has been the recipient of land deals?
Marc Elias – Wikipedia
Who is Marc Elias, and Why Did Kamala Harris Hire Him?
ThanQ for the quote. You have made my
dayweekmonthyear.One of my regrets is that we knew it smelled bad but we didn’t know what to do with it. Now I realize why individually we suddenly each got ‘justice’ in our custody fights. The emotional relief at finally being allowed to have normal parenting functions took all the steam out of our boilers.
We were played by seriously skilled players.
Which means we were very close to the target [landfill].
DoJ is going to make pulled pork out of this state’s governing authorities, including the judicial players.
If they are really smart, they won’t yank my attorney boss’ bar card even though they are in the process of doing that. Because if they do yank her bar card, she gets her First Amendment freedom of speech returned to her.
I can promise everyone – she isn’t today the quiet little patent attorney she was when I met her.
She’s a bit more … shall we say … expressive nowadays. It seems that I have shown her the legal world outside her little law firm cubicle. And she’s highly offended at how they have used her profession to trash America.
GREAT post.
Remember my FIRE! short series? Deeds of trust reveal the fraud and corruption. There is so much of it in this country it is mind blowing and it has been going on for two centuries.
Revently – Pacific Palisades, Lahaina, all of the western US wildfires near mineral and rare earth deposits, Great Smokey Mountain, etc. Add in the other “acts of God” disasters that were obviously induced and enhanced – Helene, Texas floods, and so on.
Deeds of trust. Follow the transfers and the money flows. We are going to need an honest AI system (Elon) to nail it down.
If Josh Reid is correct the Army intel has been using Quantum Computers for a while. With luck they have traced all the lines of communication and money flow.
Epstein’s Child trafficking is the least of it. He was a NEXIS, a clearing house, the kids were a sideline.
I think many/most of the Canadian wildfires were also deliberately set. At least one helped destroy records of a dissident doctor exposing aspects of the covid crimes, shot related health woes, iirc 😡
FWIW, Josh Reid mentioned the army was testing directed Energy Weapons at White Sands Proving Grounds.
Double check via Yandex:

Josh also mentioned the Discombobulator. It ranges from making you ill to killing you.

I’m somewhat concerned that DEW won’t have the same presence of mind as responsible gun owners. I can just see someone shooting at a drone and hitting the ISS.
I have a suspicion that hurricane Katrina in New Orleans may have been one of the first major test of DEWs being used to super-charge the storm from Cat-1 to Cat-5 within a mere 24 hours.
And another hurricane, just a few days before 9-11, majically steered AWAY from the mid-Atlantic and New England shores, so that their plans wouldn’t go awry.
On my computer (in storage still), I downloaded a few satellite snapshots showing a bright, precision line (laser/maser) targeting Paradise, CA, and later Lahaina, HI.

ANOTHER WOKE FLOP: New ‘Supergirl’ Movie on Track to Lose a Stunning $100 Million
In normal society, females are not considered superheroes. There is no denying that there are courageous, strong women who are fighters; America’s history is full of them. But they are not anyone’s idea of an all-powerful hero, to my knowledge. This is another attempt to make the sexes equal and to pervert the normal order of things. I can’t think of one man to whom this would appeal, or woman either, so what were these filmmakers thinking? You can’t force something on people and expect them to like it and to change their normal proclivities.
“This is another attempt to make the sexes equal and to pervert the normal order of things.”
_____________
I’d say they’re way past ‘equal’ to full-on fantasy dominance, which is the whole purpose of radical feminism dressed up like pop-culture propaganda nonsense like this.
It works, too.
There are videos all over youtube of women losing their minds and physically attacking men. Thinking real life is just like all the girl-power movies they’ve watched.
The best ones are when the men show them all about equality in that situation.

She became a meme overnight. 😅
She does stuff like this regularly, I’m surprised it took so long.
Like a sudden ‘overnight success’ founded on years of hard meme-practice 😁
She’s so awesome. The second video shows her expression and her little smile, that’s some Sun Tzu level smack right there. Thanks for posting the YouTube videos, the tweets y’all are bringing no longer play for me.
The big guy who appears to have been assigned to prevent a physical confrontation between the women looks like he’s trying not to laugh, because he knows Sophie is doing Sun Tzu level psy-op work on the opponent… the arm at full extension, higher than her opponent’s arm, with finger extended, and then the wrist moves like it’s on a hinge, wagging the finger up and down at the enemy… with the serene smile on her face… 🤣
Maybe it’s not Sun Tzu at all… probably it’s just grade school taunting in the (W)NBA 😂🤣😂
She’s just AWESOME SAUCE!!!
I think so too! 👍😁
Another take on that.

How do I get the text inside the ‘spoiler’?
As always, there’s an easy way and a hard way.
The easy way is to type the spoiler text, highlight it, and press the spoiler button.
The hard way is to edit it afterwards and stuff the spoiler text in between the begin spoiler formatting and end spoiler formatting.
This is a test spoiler post.
This would be spoiler text.
This is what it looks like with spare brackets changed to parentheses —
(spoiler title=”Test title.”)
This would be spoiler text. (/spoiler)
Doing it without using highlighting or the button, just typing —
Why do you ask?
Type your text and highlight the part you want inside the spoiler.
Click the [+] sign at the bottom of the reply box.
Type in your spoiler title and click OK.
Post the comment.
I click the spoiler icon & create the title then double space between the two bracketed items
Double Spaced Space for Anything 😉
It is that S I M P L E.
Well, it is for me at least 😉 😉
ht Valerie. Readers Digest style. Slow Guy follows this method. S I M P L E
Step 1. Click the spoiler icon
Step 2. Create / type the title (Enter)
Step 3. Then double space.
Step 4. Spoiler content goes between the two brackets.

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15938663/american-history-quiz-trump-250-july-fourth.html
I bet most here could beat my score!
22 out of 25, and I missed the *********** (I think that’s what it asked), I chose *********** because of ********, but it was ******** 🤬
I mixed up *********** and *************.
Some of those mix-and-matches I was only able to get correct by knowing one of them for sure, and figuring the rest out by process of elimination and/or deduction based on the timing of other known events.
All the stuff from WWII to the present was easy.

I remembered Philly from the National Treasure movie & signing the Declaration there
Original post, before I removed the spoilers:
……………………………..
22 out of 25, and I missed the birthplace of freedom (I think that’s what it asked), I chose Boston because of the Boston Tea Party, but it was Philadelphia 🤬
I thought Philadelphia was where Ben Franklin flew a kite (with a skeleton key tied to it, I saw it in a cartoon when I was a kid!) in a thunderstorm, with Brother Love 😂
I mixed up prohibition and women’s suffrage (1919 and 1920 or vice versa, I still don’t know).

‘Brother Love’, i.e., city of brotherly love, Philadelphia
I think that I Guessed (wrongly) that women got the vote first & then Prohibition.
20 of 25. (Correct) 
21 of 25. The ones where you match four events to four dates can clusterfark your score.
Uh yup. Generally know about the events, historic figures. Years, not so much.

24/25. Got a year crossed up on one. it helped to have recently finished GS #1’s American History course as well as the work on my American Stories series.
22 of 25. Those crossed date thingies were a bit confusing. All the ones I missed were those!
I agree. Had to think about them a bit, especially when they were only a year apart.

Details on those Trump Accounts for kids. I wonder if it’s possible to get similar for kids outside of the birthdate window?
https://www.dailymail.com/yourmoney/article-15943879/trump-accounts-child-investments-launch-july-fourth.html
It blows my mind that only 10% of eligible kids have been signed up. If Brandon or OSatan had come up with it the media and Dems would have beating their chests talking about it everyday.
It’s not just for the babies. There are like 80 companies signed on to contribute various amounts at various times for all kids under 18 including whatever the parents can contribute. It doesn’t matter if its a dollar contributed, its a dollar the precious child will have to help them get started in life.
This. I wonder how many Dems refuse to sign their kids up because PDJT came up with the idea. They are shooting themselves in the foot.
It’s crazy. Free money for your kids! Ding, ding, ding – wake up!
Do you have links to that info? My currently born 3 GDs are outside the allowed birth years, but the two in the oven are due this year so should qualify 🙂

Elon posted a picture today, that was in a Q drop back in 2018. What are the chances?
It was about John McCain meeting with ISIS terrorists in Syria. Q also alleged Syria was the home of an Iranian satellite nuclear facility, where U1 material ended up.
So whether Elon knows it or not (he does), he is Q-posting.
But sure, everyone can keep claiming it’s a conspiracy theory. The President of the United States and the richest man on the planet just make references to it, and all the themes discussed just so happen to be extremely relevant to the current geopolitical landscape.
How many coincidences before it’s not a coincidence anymore?
47
Elon – like Roseanne Barr – have been following Q and the Anons on 8kun for well over 2 years now, and possibly much longer than that.
I’m convinced that many others of note have been following too, without any (dangerous) fanfare.
It’s the Streisand effect – where people wouldn’t usually give credence to Q, but the media kept attacking it. So everyone wanted to know why the hubbub in re Q, and took a look.

My aunt died yesterday. 99 years old. A peaceful death in her home surrounded by love and family. A very “human” experience. We should all be so fortunate.
I am sorry about your aunt, Holly.
Thank You Scott. She was a special lady.
I know we have similar mothers so you can relate. Mine is now using my aunt’s death to make sure the family all know she’s the last of that generation and expects everyone to attend to her. None of them have the slightest interest and as per ush it’s just me. I wish I could disappear. 😁
Yikes…hang in there!
Yes, I can relate, I’m sorry you have to deal with that. She should be grateful for you, but that’s just not possible for some personality types.
You could tell her, if it’s any consolation, you’re not the last of your generation, Mom. There are lots of people from your generation still around.
That should cheer her up 😂
I could try that. One day I’d had enough and told her to just enjoy the day because most people her age are dead. 😅
Speaking of sobering thought. 
Sometimes they just won’t stop, not until you snap, at least just a little… 😂
Sorry for your loss but what a remarkable life & way to pass. God be with you all 💔
Thank You Valerie. She was much loved.
The Best way to be! Now she is on to her eternal reward…rejoicing!
Condolences Holly.
>>> A very “human” experience. We should all be so fortunate. <<<
Sobering thought, tribute.
So sorry Holly!
we all should be so lucky is right!
I’m sorry to hear about your loss.
Your aunt is now with the Almighty God. May she rest in eternal Peace.
Sending Deep Condolences and Deep Comfort to you and yours.
Prayers for you and your family, Holly. Great way to exit though.
That is how I would like to leave this Earthly plane.
Condolences to you and your family. It’s never easy, but I’m glad things were peaceful for all. 🙏
My sympathies, Holly. 💖. 99 is awesome! A very special friend of mine, who made sure I was saved, died at 99, just a bit short of 100. Sadly, he was COVID-isolated at the time, so the fact that your aunt could be surrounded by family is a precious gift that we cannot take for granted! As you say, we should all be so fortunate!
PTL for that faithful one to usher YOU toward God’s Kingdom!
Condolences for you, and for your family.
Still, 99 years is a feat in and of itself, and it’s more a celebration of a full life lived than a time for sorrow.
Imagine the memories she had, hearkening back to 1927!
Perhaps those of your family may wish to collect their memories of her, as they may remember, and so, write and/or record them for family posterity, for future generations.
Imagine her experiences, first-person through an entire century, and the *wisdom* she collected through her life! A testimony, as it were, of her perspectives.
I hope that she will live on in memory, and may God bless you and your family.

Maybe they can right the ship — they’ve been utterly worthless for the last 30 years.

Wow. But yeah. PC kills. Everything woke turns to shit.
In mentioning Patriots who have passed I wonder if Angelle Staria aka Angelle at the Gates of War might have passed. His email no longer works & I haven’t seen him posting for a couple years now. When I last heard from him he was heading to DC, iirc, & thought what he was going to undertake might end up killing him…
I remember him!
Yes, he was a good one. I suspect he is passed now.
I agree. What a heart of gold, heart of a warrior. He Really loved & prayed for Josiah
Dr. Trump 😆😆

E. Jean Carroll asked Court to order POTUS to pay her $5,779,783 immediately
President Trump’s legal team contacted Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, to ask if she would delay requesting the disbursement of the funds awarded to her by the 2023 jury, they wanted more time to ask SCOTUS to reconsider its denial for a review.
Kaplan denied and asked fo $5M in damages + $ 779,783 in interest=$5,779,783 immediately

Send it to her in PENNIES….
I should add, my lab tech was a coin collector. At the end of the day, he would buy the coins from local small stores. He would go thru them and grab the collectables, then toss the rest of the bag in the closet.
When he bought his house it took 2 pick-up truck trips to move all the coins to the bank.😂
REMEMBER coins are legal tender.
if they weren’t going to be valuable one day, I would have said Trump coins or dollars…LOLOLOLOL
The problem with that idea is that pennies before 1982 have copper in them which is worth more than the face value.

Germany filed Charges Against Ukrainian Serhii Kuznietsov (50) for blowing up North Stream II Gas Pipelines under the Baltic Sea in 9/22
Authorities allege he and a crew used forged documents to charter a sailing yacht, planted explosives on the pipelines iand detonated them. Following an arrest in Italy in 8/25, Serhii Kuznietsov was extradited to Germany in 9/25 and has been held in Hamburg in custody since. He and his defense team deny the allegations, claiming he was a member of the Ukrainian armed forces at the time. Kuznietsov faces accusations of unconstitutional sabotage, causing explosions, and attacking civilian energy infrastructure, which prosecutors classify as a war crime.
Authorized at the highest levels of Ukraine’s leadership, the mission was ostensibly unofficial and conducted with the utmost secrecy.
Speaking at a press conference in Dublin, President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was too soon to comment on the charging of Kuznietsov in detail. He also said Kyiv would communicate about the case with officials in Berlin.

Federal prosecutors indicted 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐀𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐟𝐲𝐚𝐧, a Syrian national who ran the regional Syria office of a U.S.-funded humanitarian NGO, on a 12-count indictment charging him with diverting more than $𝟗 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 in USAID-funded aid to the 𝘈𝘭-𝘕𝘶𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘩 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 — a terrorist organization affiliated with al-Qaida in Iraq.
USAID’s inspector general called it one of the most significant diversions of USAID-funded humanitarian aid the agency has ever investigated.
Prosecutors say Al Hafyan, who managed 160 employees at the NGO’s Syria office, directed food kits meant for conflict-affected Syrian refugees to Al-Nusrah Front commanders, then sold the aid on the black market for personal profit. USAID had awarded the NGO $𝟏𝟐𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 between January 2015 and November 2018 specifically for those food kits.
Al Hafyan is presumed innocent unless convicted, but the indictment itself is a reminder of exactly the oversight failure conservatives have been demanding USAID answer for — American tax dollars, meant for starving refugees, allegedly propping up the same terror networks we’re supposed to be fighting.

Trans gunman caught in alleged casino terror plot with huge cache of weapons — as cops release chilling footage
Excerpt:
Las Vegas cops busted a transgender gunman who allegedly planned a casino massacre using a huge cache of weapons.
Allison Howlett, 36, who was born a man but lives as a woman, was arrested Saturday on charges of making terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, gun theft and other offenses.
The wild story unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Howlett’s former spouse, who is female, called police to report Howlett had stolen her car and the vehicle held numerous firearms, Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said.

The article slips up and calls the trans dude “he/him” multiple times! 😂
USA advanced to the Round of 16.
MALIK TILLMAN’S BEAUTIFUL GOAL FOR AMERICA
ROUND 16?
dang soccer is boring and LONG
As bad as March Madness. Which I’ve never watched.
Soccer and basketball…snooze fest they are.
Slow Guy can watch football and baseball. Used to enjoy playing pick up games of baseball and flag football as a kid. Slow Guy, has zero talent for sports.
hubby used to play soccer in high school and even he doesn’t want to watch this stuff…lol
Football i like–ever since the Eagles came to a nearby college for spring training long ago. The kids and I got to meet a bunch of players–saw them afterwards at the local and one of them signed his jersey for me–which i was wearing. (He said, he was surprised to see it…lol) btw, I’m a couch coach–I like to yell at the tv and tell them what they SHOULD be doing…LOL
baseball? no thanks–boring to me as well.
Baseball is a game of strategy for brainiacs.
It has its exciting moments.
It’s your loss. 😉
after watching countless softball and baseball games from my children’s youths, there isn’t enough money in the world to persuade me to watch another game.
No motivation.
They don’t get salary bonuses for making great plays.
Pro players do.
if they made it more exciting. I mean the players on the field know where the batters are going–if they just let the runners pick any base to run to–and then let the fielders throw the ball right at the runners? then you’d have a GAME!
Just watch Rugby instead.
Now do Track Season!!!
LOL…
nope. after little league and softball…they were “sports-fatigued” LOL
they did pursue academic goals however.
and my son built a huge wooden trebuchet for a Thanksgiving turkey toss…made the papers…LOL
All our kids did soccer & basketball 5th-8th grade, some as early as 3rd grade. 2 oldest boys did HS soccer & oldest son did basketball as a 9th grader. 3 youngest kids did track for all/most of HS & daughter did swimming all of HS. Track Meets were like 3-4 hours during the weirdest Spring weather. Interminable waiting for up to 3 events per kid, some of which took less than a minute & it was pretty brutal…sigh…
my granddaughter? she does track, soccer AND basketball…that kid is always busy–she’s the farm kid!
She’s amazing, just like her Grandma!
LOL…she’s a super highway… I am an off ramp into a sewing circle…lol
Well you were on the super highway as a biker chick, iirc, so you’ve got that in the rearview mirror (at least) & all the stories to back that life up! You’ve Earned any rest you can take now 😉 😉
but you know what Val? that bike in the garage is screaming to go again. We’ve been talking about converting it to 3 wheels for more stability, but is less inclined at the moment to do it. so there she sits.
When the time is right she’ll Roar!!!
Some of my kids had former Detroit Lions player Corey Schlesinger as a teacher in HS. Also some of them went to Christian School w/ kids from another Lion. Corey’s girls were in the HS Christian Club w/ some of my kids & one of his girls was her class’ Valedictorian. Corey gave my eldest grief for wearing another Lions jersey at school, instead of his LOL
LOL…OOOPS!
He was just playing & it was pretty funny 😉
I believe that means there are 16 teams left, then 8, then 4, then 2, then Champs 🙂
wow..way too many games.
Next US game is Monday evening on Fox, I believe 🙂
Against Belgium, WITHOUT their best player who got a RED card and has to sit out the game
Yeah that Red Card seemed pretty controversial. I don’t think the US guy was Deliberately trying to injure the opponent 🙁
I didn’t know that he was the US’s Best Player–yikes!
👍, love it.
Those games can go either way fast when you lose a player for a red card.
Same name as another player who gave up a promising [slightly different] football career in exchange for patriotism.
What’s in a name? Maybe something we don’t know.
Tillman, shot and killed by friendly fire.
yes 🙁
The obvious, has become official.
U.S. Declines to Renew Trade Pact with Mexico and Canada
The Trump administration on Wednesday declined to renew its trade pact with Mexico and Canada, more formally known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
United States Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer said in a written statement:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/07/01/u-s-declines-to-renew-trade-pact-with-mexico-and-canada/
Further explanation of USA status with USMCA.
Grok – Has the USA withdrawn from USMCA
No, the USA has not withdrawn from the USMCA.
On July 1, 2026 (the deadline for the mandatory joint review), the Trump administration announced that it would not renew the agreement for another 16-year term.
Current Status
Key Distinctions
The U.S. has signaled it wants changes and may pursue bilateral deals with Canada and Mexico, but the trilateral agreement is still active. The situation could evolve with ongoing talks.
I have been following SD’s comments about this over the past couple months.
Canadian media must have a total lockdown on the majority of their population, like Stockholm Syndrome on a national scale.
SD fully expects that the U.S. will announce withdrawal once the Mexican trade agreement is finalized. At that point, it won’t be a 10-year countdown, it become a 6-month countdown:
.
USTR Jamieson Greer Makes It Official: “The USMCA is not renewed”
July 1, 2026
SD: “U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has made it official. Delivering an official statement today following a discussion between the United States, Mexico and Canada, USTR Jamieson Greer informed the group the USA will not be renewing the USMCA trilateral trade agreement. [SOURCE]
.
[SOURCE]
Unfortunately, yet predictably given how much false information has been pushed on this issue, the Canadian team will now believe they have a period of ten consecutive years of negotiation before the trade deal is over. This is structurally and completely false. The Canadian media will likely continue selling this false hope.
In reality, with the non-renewal announcement now made, President Trump and USTR Greer can now complete the bilateral trade discussions with Mexico (noted in the announcement) and then move to stage two.
Stage two will be the United States announcing a complete withdrawal from the USMCA, which triggers a six-month countdown clock. The formal notification of withdrawal will likely happen once the U.S. and Mexico complete the bilateral free trade agreement.
.
I understand that I am somewhat of a nerd on this USMCA construct and the Trump approach toward it. Therefore, it is unfair of me to judge perspectives of pundits. I have studied the granular details for several years, read dozens of transcripts from the USTR office, watched every interview and statement from President Trump and USTR Greer; yet I am still gob-smacked at the inability of the Canadian media to recognize what is evident and explain what is about to take place.
There is a possibility in this non-renewal phase the Canadian people might just start to question why they are being misled by their government and the media; however, I am not optimistic they will realize it yet.
As noted by this article from Barrons, the denial is off the charts. [SEE HERE]
President Trump has said repeatedly he does not see value in retaining the USMCA (CUSMA) and the only purpose it served was to eliminate NAFTA. The USMCA had one job, eliminate NAFTA.
Both President Trump and USTR Jamieson Greer have been very clear; Trump in direct words, Greer in direct action.
President Trump has said the USMCA was not a trade agreement he wanted to retain, while USTR Greer has been building a bilateral free trade agreement with Mexico for 18 months. No effort has been extended toward Canada, because the last stage, stage #3, is where a U.S-Canada bilateral trade agreement will be introduced.
Stage #1 – Announce the non-renewal of the USMCA.
Stage #2 – Complete the bilateral trade agreement with Mexico.
Announce the formal withdrawal from the USMCA, trigger the 6-month countdown.
Stage #3 – Begin negotiating with Canada while the 6-month doomsday clock is ticking. This is optimal leverage.
No part of this process should be a surprise. The Canadian government is willfully obtuse, but they are not stupid. They are hearing, reading and seeing the same things as me. They know what is coming. The Canadian government, with the assistance of the Canadian media, are willfully lying to their domestic audience.
The Canadian electorate are angry at the USA. The Canadian electorate should be angry at their media and government.
For some bizarre reason, and I mean this with great seriousness and sadness, the Canadian people do not comprehend the nature of their economic relationship with the United States.
Canada doesn’t sell 75% of their products to the United States. The United States buys 75% of Canadian products.
The USA is the customer in the relationship. Canada is the seller. The customer holds the leverage in this relationship, not the seller.
The customer is under no obligation to purchase goods from a hostile seller: who ridicules them, belittles them, shouts at them, makes each visit uncomfortable for them, tells them how stupid they are, and is generally abusive to them.
For some unknown reason, Canadians just cannot see the nature of this relationship. There is a very weird abusive psychology behind it, created by the Canadian government. It is the strangest thing I have ever witnessed.
{{Steps off Soapbox}}
Bottom line, you all know what is going to come next. {GO DEEP} I love, genuinely love and respect our Canadian Treepers, but Trump is going to unload all of that above sentiment over the next several months.
I doubt seriously anyone of relative importance in Canadian politics has the awareness or capability to grab the people that matter by the scruff of the neck and tell them to ‘knock it off‘ and find some humility. It’s no longer a Canadian trait.
…During this period, President Trump carries massive leverage against Canada. He will likely probe their trade position and willingness to comply with reciprocity after the non-renewal announcement. The outcome of those probes will determine the timeline of his exit announcement.
During this non-renewal phase, we may even see President Trump tease the exit, then retract, then tease the exit again. Each time Trump tests the Canadian government with statements, the Canadian economy will pulsate and weaken; it will drive the Canadian government to either extreme anger, or defeated compliance.
Timing the completion of the U.S-Mexico deal within the probes of Canada will be super interesting. At some point as the U.S. closes in on the deal with Mexico, Canada is going to realize they are naked without any agreement.
The worst-case scenario for Canada is President Trump announcing the USMCA exit on the same day he announces a completed bilateral deal with Mexico. (more)
Last point. Expect the U.K and EU to financially backstop Canada and purchase sovereign debt in an effort to support them financially. It will not be enough, but they will try to offset Trump’s leverage. Keep watching.”
Thank you! Great stuff!
Winning!
Byron Donalds…the congressman, who despite being in office for more than 5 years, has virtually no congressional record.
FTA
Yet somehow this microscopic record is packaged and sold to Republican voters as revolutionary leadership.
It would almost be funny if it were not so insulting.
Because this is what modern politics has become: consultants taking candidates with paper-thin accomplishments and inflating them into larger-than-life political products through repetition, branding, outrage clips, donor money, and carefully curated mythology.
The politician becomes less of a public servant and more of a franchise character. And perhaps the most absurd part of all is that Donald Trump has endorsed him. Which raises an unavoidable question: What exactly is Trump endorsing? Seriously.
What is the actual accomplishment being rewarded here?
A man who missed 161 congressional votes? A congressman with virtually no meaningful legislative footprint? A politician whose public image appears exponentially larger than his measurable achievements? A candidate whose primary skill seems to be appearing on television while donors and operatives construct an illusion of significance around him?
Americans were told the MAGA movement was supposed to disrupt the machine, not become another branch of it.
They were told it was about results. Accountability. Courage. America First leadership. Draining the swamp. But endorsements like this increasingly feel less like anti-establishment rebellion and more like the same old political machinery repackaged in populist branding.
Because voters are not stupid.
They can see when marketing is being substituted for accomplishment. They can see when slogans are carrying the entire weight of a candidacy because the actual record cannot. They can see when consultants are attempting to create a conservative folk hero out of a man whose legislative footprint barely leaves a dent in the carpet.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/07/the-congressman-with-no-record-byron-donalds/
Pandering by skin color is part of what got us into this mess. People of substance with a MAGA backbone that get things done are who we need to elect.
yup. agreed.
performance over promises.
results over promises.
dedication over promises.
TPTB aren’t letting him debate Collins, the current LT. Governor either.
Not sure what Rhonda’s role is in this either. IMO, he’s trying to play the long game and make it difficult for JD. If Florida flounders for two years under Reynolds, he can say he’ll be able to bring Flordia back to the GOP in the presidential election.
Looking like a hero…….in his mind
The politician becomes less of a public servant and more of a franchise character.
Brilliant. Kudos.
Amazing…
Well Worth Reading this X. Then answer. After reading, reminds me of…
Paging Aubergine for comment…
I’m glad that President Trump is visiting President Teddy Roosevelt’s library
President Roosevelt is one of my favorite in the history of the country
Not only did his mother and wife both die on Valentine’s Day in 1884. He was left a single father with an infant who was only a couple days old.
On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest before giving a campaign speech.
The bullet was slowed by a folded 50-page speech and a steel eyeglass case in his pocket. After determining he wasn’t seriously wounded, Roosevelt refused medical treatment and delivered an 84-minute speech anyway.
His response?
“It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
That’s not just toughness that’s Theodore Roosevelt.
I believe that a portrait of T.R. currently hangs in the Oval Office, if that tells you anything.
https://theoptimisticconservative.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/the-bible-and-law/#more-10939
That’s really good read, thanks for bringing.
I’m looking forward to the violence against alien invaders, if the government doesn’t fix all of this BS fast after the midterms.
And not only against them, but also against everyone who supported this attack on our country.
If the use of force is the only thing they will accept, then may they have an infinite supply.
What they have all done to our People is an atrocity, a crime against humanity, and that crime requires JUSTICE.
NICE. 
i like the put down.
you’re not the all supreme leader you think you are madmani…LOLOLOL
I would love to see ICE pick up MadMani and ship him to GITMO for trial, citizenship removal & deportation.
you and me both!
While his NYPD security stands there watching and smiles.
Madmani! I like it!
Pat, ya know your images are not showing, at least on my machine.
no, I didn’t know…sorry.
not sure what the problem is. I can see them when i post them just fine so i thought everyone could. next time I will ask who can see them and who can’t to see if i can figure something out.
thanks for letting me know.
I Usually see your images, but not always 🙂
that’s good to know–does it depend on where you are, or is it just random? do you sign in with different browsers?
I just use Brave nowadays, for years now. I’m mostly viewing from home but I do occasionally use library computers or at the hospital or even tablet or Mom’s old laptop at the Cottage. I’ll try to make a note (going forward) & let you know if your images don’t show for me what my circumstances are.
I doubt you are doing anything “wrong” but various systems are likely more touchier than others. I have to drop “shields” on Brave to use the Q-Tree at all 🙂
REP. CHIP ROY ERUPTS AND HE NAILED IT!
“PAUSE IMMIGRATION! Just STOP IT! Stop ALL immigration!”
“The United States Supreme Court, manufacturing out of thin air, a complete ABOMINATION of a ruling by the Chief Justice, suggesting that you can simply become a citizen from being born on dirt, thereby validating the abhorrent practice of baby factories and moving people here to be born to be able to become a citizen, leaving us under no choice but to do what we must do to say, pause immigration!”
“Because if it’s going to be exploited for people to come here when they’re pregnant, to allow somebody who’s working for the Chinese Communist Party and to come here and have children to become American citizens and then have our laws exploited like they were into the previous administration.”
“It is why this Congress should act to pause all immigration, this Congress should act immediately to codify what the president has been doing to close the loopholes under asylum and parole, the catch and release policies, and to codify those that a future Biden and my works administration cannot do to the American people what these radical leftists did to the American people!”
This is existential.
sigh…sounds good
BUT too many ccp and foreign controlled congress critters to get that passed.
All treasonous and anchor babies themselves. We are like rome at the end.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, July 2, 2026
✟
“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
Psalms 85:10 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 85
Prayers for the continuance of former mercies. (1-7) Trust in God’s goodness. (8-13)
1-7 The sense of present afflictions should not do away the remembrance of former mercies. The favour of God is the fountain of happiness to nations, as well as to particular persons. When God forgives sin, he covers it; and when he covers the sin of his people, he covers it all. See what the pardon of sin is. In compassion to us, when Christ our Intercessor has stood before thee, thou hast turned away thine anger. When we are reconciled to God, then, and not till then, we may expect the comfort of his being reconciled to us. He shows mercy to those to whom he grants salvation; for salvation is of mere mercy. The Lord’s people may expect sharp and tedious afflictions when they commit sin; but when they return to him with humble prayer, he will make them again to rejoice in him.
8-13 Sooner or later, God will speak peace to his people. If he do not command outward peace, yet he will suggest inward peace; speaking to their hearts by his Spirit. Peace is spoken only to those who turn from sin. All sin is folly, especially backsliding; it is the greatest folly to return to sin. Surely God’s salvation is nigh, whatever our difficulties and distresses are. Also, his honour is secured, that glory may dwell in our land. And the truth of the promises is shown by the Divine mercy in sending the Redeemer. The Divine justice is now satisfied by the great atonement. Christ, the way, truth, and life, sprang out of the earth when he took our nature upon him, and Divine justice looked upon him well pleased and satisfied. For his sake all good things, especially his Holy Spirit, are given to those who ask him. Through Christ, the pardoned sinner becomes fruitful in good works, and by looking to and trusting in the Saviour’s righteousness, finds his feet set in the way of his steps. Righteousness is a sure guide, both in meeting God, and in following him
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.
This is a terrible story. I can’t imagine being this mother, charged with murder when vaccination killed her twins. I was skeptical until I read the article, but there’s evidence of the vaccine injury, including a trip to the ER, where a doctor diagnosed them with “post-immunization reaction, initial encounter.”
“Police in Payette, Idaho, arrested Andrea Shaw on Tuesday afternoon, more than a year after her two children — fraternal twins Dallas and Tyson Shaw — were found dead at their home on May 1, 2025, eight days after receiving their 18-month vaccines. Police charged Shaw with two counts of first-degree murder. Shaw said doctors ignored her when she warned that the twins’ father had previously experienced a bad reaction to a flu vaccine.”
https://www.alexjoneslive.com/2026/07/02/mother-of-twins-who-died-8-days-after-vaccinations-charged-with-murder/
this IS a terrible story!
Cant imagine how she can be charged with murder.
More likely charge the quacks with murder.
STOP THEJABS. Just say NO JABS!!!
They claim that the vaccination injury was not the cause of death.They say she suffocated the children. It’s insane.
I pray for God to put my spiritual twin on the jury!
AMEN, MAKE IT SO!
Or mine. Not a chance that woman does time with me on a jury.
I cannot fathom the grief.
No to jabs.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Trip, day one observations and impressions:
After a rocky start involving replacing water heater elements that failed, apparently from simply being turned off during the laundry room remodel, we left in the new-to-us RV to drive halfway to Medora, ND.
Traffic wasn’t as heavy on the interstate as I expected, given that it’s the week of the 250th Fourth of July. Fits and starts really. I think the price of gas has impacted people’s travel.
There were not nearly as many semis as I expected, either. There were a lot of car-carriers, though, which we thought was weird.
I saw several trains, including two massive coal trains with multiple engines pulling what had to be 100+ cars. And a couple of trains with double-stacked containers. As a matter of fact, a train is passing the campground just as I type this, blowing its whistle. I imagine train freight is currently cheaper than truck.
We stopped at a truck plaza for fuel. There were a whole lot of Spanish-speaking women and children. I doubt they were legal.
We stopped a little earlier than we planned because we started out late. We’re not quite half way, and we are taking today to rest a bit. Tomorrow we will head out for the Medora area, and the “big day” at the Presidential Library.
I heard and saw a bit of Trump’s visit to the dedication. That was cool. I had not planned to be in Medora earlier than the 4th, because the Library only opens to us “peons” on that day. The earlier days were for big donors.
That’s it for now. No trial of the Starlink Mini yet; the campground we are in actually has decent internet service, which is surprising but welcome.
Thanks for the report. Be safe and havefun.
Have a great and SAFE time!!!
have noticed on our trips in to see Mom, the semis were getting less and less over time and we traveled busy interstates.
Removing the illegal drivers is making an impact evidently.
i think so.
^^^^ This.
MOAR!
Thank you so much! Be safe and enjoy the trip!
Have a great time!
Those coal trains? They were fuel for electric vehicle charging stations.
Thx for the report. Enjoy the journey!!!
Thanks Wolf, for the refuge and fellowship!
Two hundred and fifty years. What a long, strange trip it’s been.
👆
Amen!
Have a great trip yourself!
“NO MORE SHELTERS”… Trump EVICTS 40,000 LA Homeless as VOTERS REVOLT
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/un-intelligent-thursday-july-2-2026
Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your jam-packed roundup includes: the intelligence community throws a massive, leak-driven temper tantrum over DNI Bill Pulte’s demand for a master list of spies, but Trump calls their bluff; the Supreme Court hands down a massive, common-sense win for actual women’s sports, capping a terrible year for gender-bending advocates; plus a mini-roundup of excellent news corporate media is studiously ignoring, from plunging oil prices to the official end of the covid emergency, and much more.
FIB & CIA slow walking Pulte request for information.
Wonder if we’ll learn who was behind Butler, who FIB / CIA are spying on, (Trump, staff, family, Trump Team…)
Interesting Times.
I thought she was an Unamerican citizen.

What Team USA Immediately Did After World Cup SHUTOUT Victory Will Give You CHILLS…
As an employer, I understand everyone gets sick and deserves time off to recuperate. what is inexcusable and grounds for termination is a two week separation from work without any explanation. It appears to be dereliction of duty.
McConnell and others who have disappeared for weeks at a time, missing votes, not providing the public (their employers) with any explanation, deserve to lose their jobs, their privileges (including their pensions). They are not the BOSSES…WE ARE! and this is beyond rude.
It was known that EMS was called for McConnell and that he was hospitalized. I don’t know if McConnell’s staff or family notified anyone, though, or if those in charge just heard about it on the news. I agree that updates should be mandatory. That’s how it is in every other job that I can think of.
To be fair, very few positions are specifically filled based on the person being malleable enough to be directed by unseen masters or infirmed enough to be out of chair a substantial amount of time so that aides and others write for you, vote for you..etc
Goobbermint jobs IOW
a short dignified announcement by the family would suffice.
he did suffer a cardiac episode and has (or had, as the case warrants) been hospitalized, but he is stable and resting and we would ask for everyone to respect his wish for privacy at this time.
see? how easy was that and nobody’s paying me to write this stuff.
TPTB are fortunate that you ain’t their boss. 😂
hey…I can be fair!
But, we the people, pay their salaries and they treat US as employees. something ain’t right there. we deserve some respect.
Never said you were less than fair. But fair can be quick and unexpected.
Like trying to fly by jumping off a building.
It’s the sudden stop at the end that’s fair but brutal.
we are being treated like we are on a need-to-know basis and they don’t think we need to know stuff.
that’s not our forefathers anticipated this government thing would work.
they’d be stacking bodies by now.

Thoughts on the Two Hundred and Fiftieth.
EXCELLENT!
I would also add Hans Bader‘s comment about the Commerce Clause.
https://web.archive.org/web/20101125074012/http://www.examiner.com/scotus-in-washington-dc/trojan-horse-law-the-food-safety-modernization-act-of-2009
SCOTUS shows a revised opinion for Trump v Barbara. Also, for Trump v Slaughter.
Doesn’t say what was changed.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/slipopinion/25
I’m not familiar with this at all. Does it usually mean something minor was changed, like a date or the correction of a typo? I can’t imagine there being major changes that could affect how the decisions are viewed.
See my research. It does appear the corrections were minor issues not affecting the resolution of the cases.
Thank you.
Here is a page showing that there was a revision and where it occurred in the document:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-365_diff_ed9g.pdf
I asked Grok what was changed, since the link “Go to First Change” on the above page didn’t work for me:
“The Revision on Page 89
The single change is a minor typographical/formal correction in the majority opinion (Roberts, C.J.), in the section discussing historical arguments about “allegiance,” domicile, and critiques of the petitioners’ and principal dissent’s positions.Original text (pre-revision, around page 89):
“…the Government and the dissent identify no source that defined allegiance at birth as being based on domicile in the period from 1776 to 1868. 3”
(followed by the footnote discussing Ludlam v. Ludlam).Revised text (current version):
The same sentence, but with a small cleanup—likely fixing a line-break, spacing, citation formatting, or a stray character/punctuation issue that appeared in the initial release (common in these post-release edits). The legal substance is identical; it’s purely formal.
This occurs in the paragraph addressing the lack of historical support for a domicile-based limitation on birthright citizenship, right after discussing the “funeral oration” for Lincoln and before continuing with definitions of allegiance from Inglis and other sources.
Why So Minor?
Supreme Court opinions often get these quick formal revisions (typos, widows/orphans in layout, citation consistency, etc.) shortly after release before the bound volume. The diff tool confirms zero substantive changes—no words added, removed, or rephrased for meaning, and the overall holding (affirming birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment) is untouched.
Here is the page for the Trump v. Slaughter decision:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-322_diff_4f14.pdf
Grok again:
The revision is a minor formal correction on page 67 of the opinion in Trump v. Slaughter (No. 25-332).
This is the official Supreme Court diff PDF comparing the original (issued June 29, 2026) to the revised version (updated July 1, 2026). It reports exactly 1 change—a “Content 1 Replacement” with no insertions, deletions, or other modifications—specifically on page 67.
Context of the Case
In a 6-3 decision (opinion by Chief Justice Roberts), the Court held that the FTC’s statutory “for-cause” removal protection for Commissioners is unconstitutional under Article II and the separation of powers. It overrules/extensively limits Humphrey’s Executor (1935) and reinforces the President’s removal authority over executive officers.
Page 67 falls in the syllabus or early part of the opinion’s analysis of the constitutional text, history (Decision of 1789, Myers v. United States), and critique of Humphrey’s Executor.
The Specific Revision
Similar to the previous case, this is a purely formal/typographical edit (e.g., punctuation, spacing, citation formatting, line break, or a minor wording tweak for clarity). There are no substantive changes to the reasoning, holding, or outcome. The diff tool explicitly confirms zero insertions/deletions and no alterations to legal meaning. supremecourt.gov
The “Go to First Change (page 67)” link in the diff PDF points directly to the spot (a side-by-side before/after comparison). If it doesn’t work for you, open both the original opinion and the current version and compare page 67—the difference will be small and highlighted in the diff tool.
You dove into the deep end of the pool. I stayed in the shallow end.
the date’s a little blurry, but i doubt the sentiment has changed…
“A few business closures or job losses is a small price to pay…”

Yeah, a small price for her.

I mentioned earlier Marc Elias who does a lot of the election ‘protection’ for the DNC and the possibility of bribes via land transfers. I completely forgot his role in Perkins Coie and Russia, Russia, Russia before he started a separate firm.
I wonder if we will see an indictment.
Doubt he started his own firm voluntarily. I think he was a senior partner and they each get a portion of the net profits of the corp. Which means the law firm would have to pay him every year. That exposes them to liability for his actions if he is a DoJ target. I think they told him to walk away while handing him a fat check. Final divorce papers, so to speak.
That is what I thought too. Perkins Coie protecting their asses.
They can’t really protect their asses but they can create points to argue.
Each of which by its nature equals delay.
Justice delayed is justice denied is the motto of the dirty law firms.
So, the temperature right now in Durham, NC, per AccuWeather, is 100 degrees. The Heat Index is at 116 degrees. The “Real Feel” index is at 120 degrees. The Air Quality index is at 65, due to “Ground-level Ozone.” The chemtrails planes / contrails planes that have chemicals in their exhaust, have been in the air day and night for the past several days. No rain in sight until at least next Monday or Tuesday.
Yours Truly got the “email alert” from Duke Energy regarding “how to manage power usage during the heat dome” —
Set the AC thermostat “to the highest comfortable degree setting”
Use the oven / stove “in the early morning”
Unplug anything that isn’t in use
Use dimmers on lights
Keep the windows closed and the drapes pulled to
Wash laundry in cold water in the early morning
Those sound “reasonable” to Duke Power.
Meanwhile, up in New Yawk City, Mayor-“Caliph” Mamdani has issued a “lifestyle fatwa” to the population who elected him — stating several of the same things that Duke Energy sent in the email to Yours Truly:
The story behind this tweet is here:
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/set-your-ac-78f-nyc-socialist-pleads-residents-fragile-grid-faces-blackout-risk
Tyler Durden
2 July2026
Interesting how the email from Duke Energy and this “lifestyle fatwa” from Mamdani sound like two singers in the same chorus, no?
They do sound similar, but those instructions are pretty standard for when there are heat waves and when there is a need to conserve power so as not to overwhelm the grid. There are similar ones that apply to extremely cold temperatures. But the people are going to get tired of it really fast.
Do not forget Duke Energy donated to Obama and IMPLEMENTED SMART METERS. Smart meters allow Duke to turn off your smart appliances.
From my old notes:
DUKE ENERGY GRANTS:
“Duke Energy, an investor-owned utility, is one of the largest electric power companies in the United States. “ This means profits head to the pockets of the investors.
Duke Energy extended a $10 million loan to Obama’s re-election convention committee. http://www.citizen.org/reject-duke-energy-loan
(The loan was not paid back.)
That loan paid back handsomely.
Duke Energy Receives $22 Million Federal Grant for Wind Power Storage
http://www.duke-energy.com/news/releases/2009112402.asp
Duke Energy intends to match a $22 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to design, build and install large-scale batteries to store wind energy at one of its wind farms in Texas.
“… Duke Energy Corp. has received a stimulus award of $200 million for “smart-grid” improvements in Ohio and Indiana. It’s part of a package of $3.4 billion in stimulus allocations announced Tuesday by the Obama administration.
Duke was among 100 entities to receive Smart Grid Investment Grants...”
http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2009/10/26/daily21.html
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act),
“the U.S. Department of Energy and the electricity industry have jointly invested over $7.9 billion in cost- shared Smart Grid Investment Grant projects to modernize the electric grid, strengthen cybersecurity, improve interoperability, and collect an unprecedented level of data on smart grid and customer operations. “
Under the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program, six utilities evaluated operations and customer charging behaviors for in-home and public electric vehicle charging stations: [What an utter waste of money]
…
SMART METERS
There are many other PDFs of interest listed at the bottom:
And yes I am correct that “time-based rates programs, including time-of-use, critical peak pricing, and peak-time rebate programs.” will eventually be implemented to shape consumer behavior.

I knew MTG wasn’t going away quietly, and I still believe she has presidential ambitions. The more she talks, the lower opinion I have of her intellectual abilities.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces She Is in Talks to Launch “TRUE AMERICA-FOCUSED” Third Party After Quitting GOP
I can think of only one person on the Left whom I would even invite to a discussion, and that is Fetterman. So who are those “serious players” on the Left?
In talks with whom? Tucker Carlson, according to her X post, below.
More than a couple of campaign cycles would mean past 2026, 2028, and probably 2030. No way is she going to take four years to form a new party. She’s gunning for 2028, IMO. Also IMO, she’s a snake in the grass. She can’t defeat PDJT, so she has waited until he will be out of office so she can attack his successor to the Republican nomination and hopefully the presidency.
She has an X account: We The People Party. Excerpts of a post:
How villainous of her to use America’s 250th anniversary to announce this, instead of celebrating the greatness of our country. I hope she falls flat on her face.
She quickly added the massive caveat: “It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles. This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.”
Sounds like she is lining up her next job, professional fundraiser for her new political party. That should easily get her to retirement age. I admire her entrepreneurial spirit, it’s so American.
I wonder if her divorce has any child support payments that she has not paid. Or whether the property division had a balloon payment that is coming due.
P, I am sure, in your career, you have met many grifters that have unpaid debts that they never seem to get around to paying.
she got out over her skis.
too full of herself. POTUS has huge coattails and she was riding them so high she thought SHE was the attraction.
she’ll find out.
Sort of like cancer. Sucks all the life out of the host and then they both die.
Lol, did she not learn from the Hillary Clinton debacle that Americans are not going to elect a harsh, aggressive, loud-mouthed, profane, harpy to the Presidency?
Good grief, these women. MTG has the same hateful “girl boss” energy as Hillary. She has the same harsh voice, bad hair, and bad clothing choices. Lol, just no, sweetheart.
yeah girl boss makes them sound like authoritative, strong women.
they’re just a newer version of bitches .
… girl boss makes them believe that they sound like authoritative, strong women.
More accurate. 😉
Yes, and I don’t know of anyone on the Left who doesn’t despise her. She must think she can get all the TDS sufferers. Good luck with that, LOL.
M O N E Y and “look at me”.
IMO “they” are trying to create a Nazi-like party to crack American freedom. Same play as bringing down Germany in the 1900s.

Trump Forced [HRC] To Make A Stupid Move,FBI Goes All Out To Investigate Election Rigging – Ep. 3940

The EU is following the green new scam and now they are about to lose 1.3 million jobs, most will shift into the US. Gas prices are coming way down and gas station are lowering them. Jobs are shifting from Gov position to the private sector. Did the US mint project the new price of gold? Trump is now forcing the [DS] to give him everything he needs. By the Judiciary going after him they are exposing who they are, making it easier to remove them. By suing him because of the EO he is reinforcing the constitution. By tell Acting DNI Bill Pulte to declass he is flushing out the sleepers in the rest of the agencies. By having the FBI go all out in the investigation into election rigging they are coming after his EO regarding the post office which be ruled on to support election integrity, every step of the way the [DS] is losing.

Courthouse in Santa Clara County, California is flying the American Flag upside down
I am confident in assuming that similar acts of rebellion were happening all over the South in 1861. When it reaches into government spaces the divide is accelerating.
I had never thought about that aspect before.
ThanQ for expanding my
balloonthinking. 🙂 The amount of anger at these filthy traitors, at this foreign-funded communist insurgency, all across America, is approaching a boiling point.
The whole reason it is happening, is because no one does anything to stop them, and so they push the envelope a little further, testing… and still no one does anything to stop them.
That’s how we ended up with our whole country torn apart, and europe on the brink of civilizational collapse.
I look forward to seeing violence done against these people, because violence and/or removal from society is the only thing which they will understand.
And beyond that, they deserve violence.
Violence is not a bad thing, when it is lawfully and justifiably applied.
When I grew up, everything was violent.
Today, we act like violence is the boogeyman, or a bad word (back when there was such a thing as bad words), or somehow wrong.
It’s not wrong, it’s right, when the circumstances call for it.
It’s right.
There is a time when not doing violence is the depraved act, the act of cowardice, the act of evil.
Every time an alien invader rapes and murders a little girl, and he is not summarily executed on the spot, that is a depraved act of evil; compounding the original evil.
It is heaping injustice upon injustice.
Maybe not the first time it happens, or the second, or even the third. We have a system of Law for a reason.
But when that system doesn’t just fail, when it is WILLFULLY SUBVERTED such that there is no restraint on evildoers — and the political-class facilitates the evil — then what recourse is left to the People, but to protect themselves and their own, by whatever means necessary?
The government has taken rabid animals and set them loose in the sheep pen.
The time to put those animals down, all across the Western world, is now.
It was time a long time ago.
One more time…

Tulsi nails it…Deep State threats to America in IC world.
Looking forward to Trump wholesale firing ass wipes in IC world.
Also looking forward to Pulte wholesale declassifying documents.

This Tousi video is NOT a report of IRGC, military operations…
Interesting problem for Tousi, in his effort to relocate to Florida.
Hopefully DoS can give this some attention. Appears simple. But nothing is simple with USG.
