Revolution of ideas

Lawrence Reed’s new book, “Born of Ideas: How Principles, Faith, and Courage Forged America,” is out September 1, and every American thinker will appreciate it.

Greg Maresca | August 21, 2026

At a time when universities are shuttering their presses, Grove City College has launched Faith & Freedom Press through publisher Whitaker House. Their inaugural book, “Born of Ideas,” written by distinguished author, academic and historian Lawrence W. Reed, frames how our nation’s founding was “born of ideas” through the lens of faith, personal responsibility and divine purpose.

Rather than reiterating the more conventional Revolutionary yarns, Reed commences his dissertation not in 1776 but with the Mayflower Compact in 1620.  Reed is a learned student of the genre and devotes nearly a quarter of his tome explaining why the Mayflower Compact is not merely a political agreement but was rooted in the Pilgrims’ religious conviction that they were acting under God’s providence.

Reed, the author of more than a dozen books that blend liberty, economic history and political philosophy, underscores how America emerged first not from battlefields or politics, but from covenantalism that shaped much of freedom’s prevailing rise.

Divine Providence is a partner to the covenant. It is with the whole of the people not just between leaders covering the whole of life and the consent of the governed mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Historically, it dates back to the book of Exodus that many scholars argue influenced the development of self-government and the later American doctrine of the consent of the governed.

Reed acknowledges America’s founding was first “a revolution of ideas” while still emphasizing the extraordinary nature of the American Revolution. As he writes in the Introduction, “Ours was first a revolution of ideas that produced a revolution in governance accomplished by heroes and ordinary Americans.”

The brevity of the 32 chapters does not diminish its clarity. Rather, it sharpens Reed’s argument and keeps the narrative moving into a fast read of 143 pages that can be accomplished in one sitting that delivers a fresh look at what makes the American experiment exceptional.

It is this mosaic approach that is the book’s defining strength. The chapters are historical vignettes that are crisp, thematic and tightly focused that absorb the founding era and its moral, philosophical and economic foundations. These engaging essays Reed says, “tells a particular story about a key figure or an aspect of the Revolution.” 

Reed introduces readers to both the known and unsung heroes whose convictions shaped a nation. Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine appear, but Reed also devotes space to lesser-known contributors: Pelatiah Webster, “America’s First Economist”; Mercy Otis Warren, “The Conscience of a Great Cause” and Joseph Warren the fallen hero of Bunker Hill that made the American experience unique and yet remain essential today.

Whether discussing paper money, Native American alliances, Lafayette’s contributions, or the Roman influence on American republicanism, Reed returns repeatedly to the same core ideas: liberty, moral courage, personal responsibility and the belief that ideas, not accidents, forged the nation.

Trump’s huge deportation success story

One of the Trump administration’s unheralded recent accomplishments is the speed, efficiency, and volume of its current deportation efforts.

Andrea Widburg | August 21, 2026

Autism article image

One of Trump’s biggest campaign promises was that he would close our borders to illegal immigration and remove those illegal aliens already here. He has indeed almost completely closed America’s southern border, but the Democrats then managed to turn deportation into a cause célèbre that seemed to derail that effort. It didn’t occur to them that Trump would find another way to accomplish the goal, or that Democrat politicians in blue states would help him.

Early this year, the headwinds seemed to be blowing in the Democrats’ direction. When Rebecca Good was killed while aiming a car at an ICE agent and a (legally) armed Alex Pretti was killed while violently resisting ICE agents, they seemed like the perfect poster children for the Democrats’ anti-ICE and anti-deportation push. Democrats thought it helped that there were other incidents in which illegal aliens confronting ICE also managed to get killed.

But somehow, despite the Democrat base’s hysteria, the American public didn’t rally to the cause. Those illegal immigrants who were killed turned out to have been engaged in violent actions against ICE agents or had heinous personal records. There were no George Floyd-style marches and riots. Without COVID lockdowns to make people desperate for any reason to get out of the house, and with most Americans happy to see the last of violent illegal aliens in their communities, this was not going to be a winning cause.

Trump then wisely removed the grandstanding Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, replacing her with the ostensibly low-key but incredibly effective Tom Homan. With that, the air really went out of the Democrat anti-ICE balloon.

Sure, the Democrats are still agitating over ICE. It’s their cause, and the Democratic Socialists’ cause. Indeed, the DNC, reflecting the DSA’s power within the party, just approved competing resolutions about ICE. One demands that ICE reform, while the other wants to abolish it entirely.

However, while Democrats at the national level are fighting over the finer details of leaving tens of millions of illegal aliens in America, Benny Johnson reports that ICE is going about its work with Homan-esque low-key efficiency:

The tweet continues:

…million deportations across the calendar year.

+69,000 illegals are in DHS jails waiting to be deported at this moment.

And you haven’t heard a blip about it in the corporate press. Why? My DHS source says “stealth tactics.”

“We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong.”

And here’s where it gets insane…

DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal.

It’s happening. You just don’t see it.

We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.

This is great news. We are a country of people whose forebears immigrated here legally and promised when they arrived never to become a charge on the American people (a promise my hard-working parents kept).

It is absolutely unsustainable for a nation to be flooded with people whose first act is to violate the law, who immediately suck on the government teat (whether federal, state, or local), who are often criminally inclined, and who do not share our values and cannot or will not assimilate. If you want to see how that story ends, just look at Europe and the UK, which may be majority Muslim in the next 10 or 15 years.

There’s one more thing I like about the tweet, and that’s the bit about the blue state politicians assisting ICE. They’re cowards for refusing to do this openly, and they’re hypocrites for aiding deportations but not speaking out against their party’s stance on illegal aliens in America. And of course, we know that, once the illegal aliens are gone, leading to an inevitable decrease in crime rates and a drop in housing costs, they’ll claim that it was their leftist policies that made the difference.

For that reason, I sincerely hope that, once ICE drains a blue city or state of its illegal aliens, Tom Homan turns around and thanks those Democrat politicians for all their help with getting the job done.

Trump quietly reopens Hormuz

We can now move a lot of oil without them being able to do much about it. 

Frank Friday | August 21, 2026

Autism article image

As I wrote at the time, Pres. Trump made a good deal in June, got the oil flowing, and left the Iranians with no leverage and few benefits. So the IRGC reneged on it in a few weeks and started shooting.

Now we learn the U.S. Navy has set up a stealth convoy system for Hormuz that is taking 9-15 million barrels a day out of the Gulf, according to Energy Sec. Chris Wright. When you combine that with the 7-8 million barrels from the Hormuz bypass pipes, we are getting back to the pre-war normal of 20 million barrels from the Gulf.

Wright was bitterly mocked by the MSM when he announced this last week, but further mainstream reporting is now conceding this is basically true. While all the national and international media obsessed about the hopeless position the United States had reached, the stalemate was carefully being reversed.

It seems our military specifically targeted Iran’s anti-ship capacity, including coastal radars and look-out boats, over the last two months. It is very much harder to hit fast-moving tankers with a missile than a fixed land target. Especially if it is being protected by Navy jammers and interceptors.

The ball is in the Iranian court. We can now move a lot of oil without them being able to do much about it. Complicating things further, while the IRGC is firmly in control of the country, apparently each commander has near autonomy for his own forces. That leaves decision-making slow, and the guys in charge of the dwindling missile forces may not be in agreement with Tehran on what to do next.

While they figure it out, we might see a big drop in oil prices. This may lead to a situation like 1988, when the Iranians threw in the towel after President Reagan destroyed their navy and ended Iran’s first attempt to block the Gulf.

On the other hand, if the IRGC wants to keep playing a losing hand, they can strike the oil fields and desalination plants of their neighbors and try to take everyone down with them.

So far, they talk like that, but I wonder if that is more for show. All-out war would, in the end, leave Pres.. Trump and the Arab states no choice but some kind of Allied ground invasion to end the regime; much like Pres. Trump did in 2017 with ISIS in Iraq and Syria. I suspect the Iranian regime knows whose side most ordinary Iranians will be on if it comes to that.

They’re coming for your cars in California

New tire regulations will add hundreds of dollars to tire costs and drive 70 percent of tire manufacturers out of the market.

Autism article image

So what happens under solid blue rule when the budget gets blown out, the taxes hit the limit, the billionaires flee, and the government appetite for spending just gets bigger?

In California, they start to eye the things that make California California: Cars, freedom, houses, prosperity. It’s not just necessity, of course. They also long to make it Not California.

We’re seeing these kinds of new developments, and none of them are good.

According to the Santa Monica Observer:

Sacramento just dropped another regulatory bomb on everyday Californians.

The California Energy Commission unanimously approved the nation’s first replacement tire efficiency standards on Monday, setting strict limits on rolling resistance for tires sold in the state. Phase 1 kicks in for tires manufactured starting in 2029. The tougher Phase 2 hits in 2033.

Tire industry representatives say the 2033 standards would eliminate roughly 70% of the replacement tires currently on the market from being sold in California. Goodyear and America’s Tire have warned that applying the Phase 2 limits to today’s inventory would knock out the majority of available options.

The rules require lower rolling resistance (less energy lost as heat when the tire rolls) and a minimum wet-grip standard so replacement tires match the efficiency of the ones that come on new cars. Specialty tires – deep-tread off-road, certain winter/all-weather, competition, and some others – get carve-outs.

The Energy Commission insists the changes will save drivers nearly $1 billion a year in fuel and electricity costs statewide and cut 2 million metric tons of CO2 annually. It pegs the extra cost to consumers at just $1.50 per tire in Phase 1 and $6.50 in Phase 2, with fuel savings quickly offsetting that.

State officials claim it will add just $6.50 to the cost of a tire, a veritable nothingburger, not explaining why they needed to use an obscure 2003 law to justify it, or why they need to do it in phases. After all, why not do it all at once and reap the tax benefits if it’s just the little piddly thing they claim it is? We all know this story.

Here’s the lie sheet from the California Energy Commission, no guaranteed refunds offered when the opposite of what they promise actually happens, and it will. Many have noted that tire manufacturers are not at all onboard with this bad idea, and the supposed support from the big ones is the equivalent of CostCo getting its shops open during the lockdowns while everyone else had theirs closed, they stand to benefit from all the small fry shutting down. Meanwhile, if you like to stick your head into a live volcano, read the comments section:

While officials stated there is no immediate threat, authorities confirmed the arrest followed an operation involving undercover informants and an inert device.

Hey, Scott — did you one time discuss how you came to consume an entire horse-sized dose of horse paste?

scott467

No, that must have been some other Scott. I’ve never had the paste. I bought the liquid in the very early going, I think it’s an 8oz bottle, from some online animal supply store IIRC, in case it was all being removed from the shelves. It was getting hard to find, already gone from Amazon at that point.

So that must have been before we figured out how to get the tablets, and after that, I bought tablets.

I still have the liquid form, never broke the seal on the bottle.

So the only form I’ve actually taken is the tablets.

cthulhu

Hmmmm…..I wonder who it was, then……

Gail Combs

Aubergine uses the paste.

Gail Combs

Aubergine

I’ve never taken too big a dose at once. But I have heard that it’s difficult to overdose even on a whole tube of the horse paste. There were reports that hospitals were seeing people sick from doing it, but hospitals and doctors are liars, and the FDA, which of course knew better, scolded people and told them “you’re not a horse, stop it.” It’s the same medicine, and the dosage is the same by weight, horse or human.

scott467

As I mentioned recently, I have a large Word document that I use as a scratch pad for taking notes, saving a few posts from here most days, etc.

So I searched my Word doc for ‘paste’ and found 59 results. Most were ‘copy and paste’ or ‘toothpaste’ (fluoride discussion) or similar, but there were a few about IVM.

These two were closest to your inquiry, from Tonawanda and Piper567.

I’m in the habit of copying the link to the specific post now, the link that shows up if you hover your cursor in the upper RH corner of a post, but back when I saved these, I wasn’t. Or maybe it wasn’t even available then, I’m not sure.

With the paste, I take as much as the horse would take, if the horse weighed the same as me.
 
From the above, if I am reading this correctly, one tablet of 12 mg (which is what they come in at I.com) is for a person 132 pounds. And two tablets is for someone 264 pounds?
 
What if you need less than one tablet?

Scott…doesn’t seem to matter ab ‘overdosing’…in Africa, where IVM is routine, and incidentally mostly immune to covid, haha, I do not imagine doses are carefully titrated in every case…and records of usage display no side effects wrt dosage strength. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have many times used (in paste form) ab the equivalent of 2mg which knocks out a cold almost immediately. I weigh ab 115 #. I am rather hording my tablets, as I fully expect such easy routes of acquisition to be not so reliable come the coming darkness and difficulty. Others may benefit greatly from my stores,
I bought a bunch of paste before the $$$ increased due to demand. This is what I use, as many are not as indifferent as I wrt the paste.
Methinks any IVM we can acquire will be gold by the time the Winter of ’23 arrives.

I just broke out my dispensing syringes, ivermectin, shotglass, and 151 rum. Assembled syringe, poured a shot of rum, swished needle in rum, sucked a couple of cc’s into syringe, pushed out. Discarded rum.
 
Opened metal top to ivermectin, showing rubber cap. Punctured through cap with syringe and pulled desired amount of ivermectin in, pushed ivermectin out of syringe into shotglass.
 
Topped off with mineral water. Looked awful. Swigged that down and repeated.
 
Fiancee had scratchy throat, I had scratchy throat while Fiancee seemingly recovered, it came back for Fiancee worse and I was fine, then all day today I had it worse — glorking up annoying amounts of fluid. I had been lulled into not taking the ivermectin when the Fiancee got better, but I decided that it would be worth doing. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

INTRODUCING FUC-EES

I have a business plan and I would like investors.

Six locations. Every one sits four hundred yards past the California state line on Interstate 15, Interstate 40, Interstate 10, Interstate 8 and Interstate 80. Arizona and Nevada. You will see the sign before you see the border.

And a seventh, which is the flagship.

Stateline, Nevada. Right at the edge of Lake Tahoe, close enough that the second floor deck looks straight out over the water. You drive out of California, cross an invisible line, and there it is. Alpine lake, pine trees, a hundred and twelve gas pumps and a full service tire shop.

That one has slots.

Because it is Nevada and there is no reason not to. You can use a clean bathroom, play a hand of blackjack, eat at an all you can eat buffet featuring nine things Sacramento has outlawed, get four new tires fitted, and walk out having won a gas generator.

Nowhere else on the continent can you do all five of those in ninety minutes. That is not a truck stop. That is a civilisation.

No refinery at Tahoe though. Even I have limits.

Here is what we sell.

Gasoline at the actual price. Not the California price. The six interstate locations get their own small refinery, because two of theirs are closing and somebody has to do it.

Generators. An entire wing of them. California has banned the sale of new gas generators in a state that turns the power off on purpose, and I intend to be four hundred yards away when people work that out.

Leaf blowers. Chainsaws. Pressure washers. Lawn mowers. Everything with a small gas engine, which is now everything California will not sell you.

Those little green propane cylinders for camping. Banned there this year. We have a pallet.

Fireworks. The real ones. Not Safe and Sane. The other kind.

A plastic straw. In your hand. Immediately. No conversation about it.

Incandescent bulbs. A whole wall of them, warm and humming and gloriously inefficient.

Gas stoves, gas water heaters, gas anything. The gas department is enormous and the salespeople are unbearably smug.

Dishwashers that finish in under an hour and showerheads with an opinion.

Foie gras. Illegal there since 2012. I am not certain how many people want it, but that is rather the point.

The candy aisle carries every dye and additive Sacramento has taken a run at, plus a dedicated cooler for whatever they added to the list since I wrote this.

And a full sushi counter with actual sushi chefs, because Californians know sushi and it is the one thing on this list they will genuinely miss.

Two hundred and forty gas pumps. Eighty-three bathroom stalls, cleaned hourly, and the bathrooms are the entire point, because anybody who has driven that stretch knows exactly what the alternative is.

Brisket. Obviously brisket. And no, we are not carrying tri-tip. Tri-tip is a very good steak and it is not barbecue, and I will not be taking questions.

Nothing in the building carries a Prop 65 warning, because we are not in California and nobody has to tell you the parking lot causes cancer.

Now the part where I get sued.

Yes. Buc-ee’s will sue us. Their legal department has flattened bigger and better funded people than me over a beaver, a font, and a general vibe of Texas.

I welcome it. I would like to be sued by Buc-ee’s the way some people would like to meet Springsteen.

But I would rather partner.

Here is the pitch, gentlemen. You have forty odd locations and not one is within a thousand miles of the largest captive market in North America. Forty million people, an hour from a border, who cannot legally buy half of what you sell.

We are not competing with you. We are the customs checkpoint.

And the Tahoe location has slots and a view of the lake.

Call me. I will bring the numbers and I will wear the good shoes.

Scott, on the Nothin’s Habban Front…

I suggest you read https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/no-comment-friday-august-21-2026

Jeff goes over the squeeze on Act Blue

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said the fundraising giant “took 40-some million dollars that came into ActBlue from foreign origins.” That, my friends, is called election interference. And you know what that means: insurrection.

And

According to “multiple people familiar with the matter,” DOJ investigators have requested voluntary interviews with FBI officials involved with the 2022 search of President Trump’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago. This was enough, apparently, to generate a sandstorm of media hysteria…

NBC said diGenova is working with U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones of the Southern District of Florida, and the effort splits time between a Miami grand jury and a second grand jury in Fort Pierce. That second grand jury in Fort Pierce sits under U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee who dismissed the classified-documents case against him in 2024…

The investigation sprouted from a House Judiciary referral of former CIA Director John Brennan over his 2023 congressional testimony about the Steele dossier’s role in the RussiaGate scandal. Last month, the Miami Herald reported that Brennan’s lawyers complained the office had been “weaponized” by diGenova’s team, which is now also examining whether Brennan and other Obama/Biden-era officials violated Trump’s rights by pushing investigations of him both after his 2016 win and 2020 loss…

Since the interviews are voluntary rather than subpoenaed, legal experts speculated that, by examining conduct that occurred specifically in Florida, such as the Mar-a-Lago search, the DOJ may be trying to establish the jurisdictional anchor needed for any eventual prosecution in Florida.

I see it as a little bigger.

Requests for ‘voluntary’ interviews seem to me like a first step. See who wants to talk. A voluntary witness provides the best evidence. In round two, DOJ can offer immunity in exchange for testimony— the prisoner’s dilemma. Those witnesses are slightly less useful, because they can be challenged by defense lawyers who ask pointed questions like you only said that so you could get immunity, right?

Then, in round three, you issue subpoenas to hostile or reluctant witnesses, who won’t be as forthcoming as witnesses in the first two groups. These are more likely to resist by, say, invoking the Fifth Amendment. Ahem.

What nobody outside the DOJ knows is whether any of this is limited to former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and the rest of the crew, or part of a mushrooming case into the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government.

All I can tell you is that, while Brennan and Comey did their best to compartmentalize everything, muddy their movements, and hide their activities behind legal devices of various kinds, it seems unlikely a grand jury of average Americans will agree this kind of thing was “law enforcement as usual.”

That’s even without considering the old maxim, “Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.” Somebody leaked this. My guess is that the DOJ’s requests for voluntary interviews got back to Brennan and Comey, who are inveterate leakers…

This video is by one of the yootoobers who regularly covers Elon Musk news, meaning Tesla and now SpaceX.

The first 15+ minutes (maybe longer, I’m at the 16 minute mark now) is mostly about using Ai to cure cancer, and then later involves mRNA, so it seems like something we should be aware of.

The early part is about something I’ve heard of before, an ultrasound pool that people go into, to get a full body scan in just a few minutes. Supposed to be more detailed than an MRI, and so cheap that people could get one every month if they want (or have reason to).

The company is planning to build 50,000 small clinics to do this, and each scan requires two petaflops of compute power (I don’t know how much that is, but apparently it’s a lot).

So this video also addresses the seemingly infinite need for compute power and data centers.

After the ultrasound segment, they start talking about the mRNA ‘cures’ for all types of cancer and other diseases. They note the issues and negativity associated with the Covid mRNA shots (and reference a new ‘operation warp speed’ for cancer cures, see timestamps below), but they seem to think this is somehow different or won’t involve the same problems as the Covid mRNA.

I’m skeptical, but others here know far more about mRNA related stuff than I do.

Apparently Moderna’s stock (stock ticker is actually MRNA…) tripled in value this past week, on news that they have developed an mRNA treatment for cancer. This is also discussed in the first 15-16 minutes of the video.

1.5x speed plus closed captions works fine to cut down the time and still understand everything.

Some details about the difference between Covid vaxx and this latest mRNA use, at least according to Brian Wang, beginning at (16:12):

“We’re probably going to hear an announcement from SpaceX uh and Elon about a new division where they’re going to focus on health, you saw today that Elon actually posted saying mRNA, while it was questionable for the use of COVID, is absolutely is useful for cancer treatment.

So, he’s good job for Elon to not scare everybody about mRNA. The last thing you want is to scare people about, you know, this whole thing about MRA and the controversy and the conspiracies around it.

But Elon, you know, he should support this, right? Because imagine if AI to cure disease, you’re not going to get a lot of people complaining about that. They’re gonna turn around their hatred for AI, and huge money for Elon, and this would be a perfect business for SpaceX to get into next. That would be right.

Right. And so the reason that the mRNA is not, you know, was problematic for COVID and not problematic for cancer was because you needed a spike protein in the COVID vaccine.

So you had to incorporate something that was dangerous inside the mRNA in order to make it work for that application. You do not need that for the the cancer treatments that you’re going to have and also you’re customizing it per individual.

So, and also one for the um for the COVID for some of the younger people the risk level was at the level of the flu, so low, right, but cancer, your risk is high and I’m making a personal personal treatment for you, so that’s that’s another thing, and then the other thing would be that the, so then this is the issue of while we’re ramping up and shotgunning and trying to figure out all the scientific significant improvement that will keep the demand high because no one was saying hey we’re going to spend another hundred billion per year, $200 billion per year on compute for medicine, for AI, right.

Nobody, nobody even thought of it, now we will, and so the point is like, why is Elon saying that we can get to $100 billion dollar run rate by December, and then we’re going to build up to 10 gigawatts next year and then we’re going to keep building even more, and everybody’s going yeah, you’re going to rent it to who, who’s going to keep paying for you.

It could just be a a short-term blip because LLMs can only go so far and eventually, you know, there’ll be a pullback of need for this. No, there is first medicine, then there’s science, then there’s engineering, then there’s like physicists, right?”

To put this into perspective, Brave states:

*****************************
AMD Ryzen processors typically deliver performance in the hundreds of GFLOPS for single-precision workloads, scaling to several TFLOPS for high-core-count enthusiast models. 

Based on Geekbench 4 SGEMM benchmarks (single-precision floating-point operations), performance varies significantly by generation and core count:

  • Ryzen 5 5500: ~434 GFLOPS
  • Ryzen 7 3700X: ~546 GFLOPS
  • Ryzen 5 2600: ~267 GFLOPS
  • Ryzen 9 3900X: ~820 GFLOPS
  • Ryzen 9 5900X: ~908 GFLOPS
  • Ryzen 9 5950X: ~967 GFLOPS 

High-end workstation CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper 7995WX achieve significantly higher throughput, reaching approximately 12.16 TFLOPS (12,160 GFLOPS) in single-precision FP32 compute, surpassing many dedicated graphics cards and gaming consoles
*****************************
Petaflops = 1000 teraflops.
Teraflops = 1000 gigaflops
Gigaflops = 1000 megaflops

cthulhu

Amazon quotes a single Ryzen Threadripper 7995WX at $9800.

You’d need about 200 of them for 2 petaflops. Each has 96 processor cores and uses 350 W of power.

From Brave AI

Public records indicate that Ong is the Founder and CEO of Juva Health and previously founded Healthentic Inc. and Brighter Ventures. 
 While 👉Healthentic Inc. was privately funded with $18 million from insurance carriers, this figure represents total funding for the company rather than Ong’s personal net worth. No current financial estimates for his personal wealth are available in the provided sources.

Herbert Ong is a serial entrepreneur and healthcare executive with a career spanning over 15 years in health technology, product management, and digital media. His professional history is defined by founding three healthcare startups and establishing a significant presence as a technology content creator. 

Healthcare EntrepreneurshipOng’s primary career focus has been founding and leading companies that utilize data and digital tools to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce costs. 

Juva Health (2019–Present)In October 2019, Ong founded Juva Health (originally named Unison Migraine), serving as its Founder and CEO. Based in Bellevue, Washington, the company specializes in non-drug treatments for migraine, chronic pain, and anxiety. Ong was motivated to start the company after witnessing his mother suffer from severe migraines; leveraging his clinical background, he aimed to create accessible smartphone-based biofeedback therapies as an alternative to traditional clinic-based treatments. He co-founded the company with Philip Cheung (CTO), John Brodish (Product Designer), and Dr. Dawn Buse (Chief Medical Officer). 
Healthentic Inc. (2008–2014)
Prior to Juva, Ong founded Healthentic Inc. in 2008, where he served as President and CEO until 2014. The company focused on population health reporting and corporate wellness, using “big data” to help employers manage healthcare costs and improve employee health outcomes. Under Ong’s leadership, Healthentic developed the “Wellness Decision Engine” and secured approximately $18 million in private funding from insurance carriers. The company built profitable business units in both dental and medical sectors before Ong’s departure. 
Brighter Ventures Inc. (2015–2019)Following his tenure at Healthentic, Ong founded Brighter Ventures Inc., acting as its Founder and CEO from roughly 2015 to 2019. This venture was dedicated to helping employers cultivate an “employee loved” culture, focusing on raising employee engagement survey scores and improving workplace culture through meaningful data and feedback mechanisms. 

Early Corporate CareerBefore launching his own startups, Ong held significant product management and strategy roles in major healthcare and technology firms:

  • Thomson Healthcare (later acquired by IBM Watson Health): He served as VP of Clinical Strategy and Product Management from 2005 to 2008. 
  • Philips Medical: He worked as a Director of Product Marketing for CV and X-Ray. 
  • Other Roles: His resume includes positions at Genuosity, Medibuy (now Global Health Exchange), and Fraser Health Authority. He also worked as an Independent Consultant for Product Innovation at Mandalena between his startup ventures. 

Media and Content CreationIn 2021, Ong expanded his career into digital media by launching the YouTube channel and podcast Brighter with Herbert. As a Tesla investor since 2012, he created the platform to provide in-depth analysis on Tesla, Elon Musk, SpaceX, and emerging technologies like humanoid robotics. Known as “The $TSLA Milestones Guy,” he produces regular video content and interviews with industry leaders, growing the channel to over 150,000 subscribers by early 2026. 

EDUCATION:

Herbert Ong holds a multidisciplinary educational background combining clinical healthcare, business administration, and product innovation:

  • 👉University of British Columbia (1985–1990): He earned a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BSc Pharm). 
  •  During his studies, he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and a recipient of the Cunningham Scholarship. This clinical foundation supported his early career as a hospital pharmacy director.
  • Simon Fraser University (1996–1998): He obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Business Administration, enhancing his strategic management capabilities for his subsequent entrepreneurial ventures. 
  • MIT Sloan School of Management (2005): He completed executive education in Product Design, Development, and Management. 
  •  This specialized training provided the methodology for his later work in developing health technology products and digital therapeutics.

The Pfizer Crystal Structure Database: An essential tool for structure-based design at Pfizer

Journal of Computational Chemistry  April 8, 2022

Pfizer’s Crystal Structure Database (CSDB) is a key enabling technology that allows scientists on structure-based projects rapid access to Pfizer’s vast library of in-house crystal structures, as well as a significant number of structures imported from the Protein Data Bank. In addition to capturing basic information such as the asymmetric unit coordinates, reflection data, and the like, CSDB employs a variety of automated methods to first ensure a standard level of annotations and error…

Because political-correctness prevents most people from identifying the core problem (islam), to the extent of focusing on anything and everything except the core problem (islam).

In exactly the same way that political-correctness prevents most people from identifying or openly discussing the core problems about anything that threatens the grievance industry and all of the Left’s protected-classes.

They DID SHOW UP!!! I was hoping they would and commented so a while back. 😍

I hope you caught the bikers rounding in on Dearborn, Michigan this week where Islamists have slithered into positions of power. And I hope you remember that it was the bikers who protected Trump and his supporters during 2015/6, when the roaring against him was universal…

Now to read the rest.

Aubergine

You guys, I’ve had a week. I would like your input on something I am thinking.

I got baptized in the river last Sunday. I got sick that afternoon, with a terrible headache, body aches, fatigue, you name it. It went on and on until midweek. I still have residual stuff, but it’s finally fading.

I’ve been beset by self-doubt and feelings of being unwanted, which is, unfortunately, my weak spot. Childhood trauma is a terrible thing.

I’ve discovered unwanted facts about someone close to me, that I wish I didn’t know. I was looking for information about one thing, and found something altogether different. Not good.

A couple of days ago, someone suggested that I was under a spiritual warfare attack because I took the big step of baptism. She said it means that Satan is big mad, and trying to turn me around.

I have been and continue to pray and talk to God about things, pretty much all day. And things seems to be lightening up. But I wanted to ask all of you if you’ve ever experienced anything like this. Because man, this has been intense.

It won’t work, I belong to Jesus. But it has been scary, all the same.

Gail Combs

Just hang in there and continue to pray.

“…I’ve discovered unwanted facts about someone close to me, that I wish I didn’t know. I was looking for information about one thing, and found something altogether different. Not good…”

That can hurt a lot but you are better off in the long run knowing the truth.

Remember you have a lot of friends who value you highly here on the QTree so just hang in there.

Aubergine

Thank you, Gail. I appreciate and value you and everyone here.

I have felt something deeply spiritual. My parents were Catholic, but not practicing after my brother was born. At 16, I decided I wanted to know more about our faith and then decided to make my first Holy Communion. the classes were interesting, but the thought of confession was overwhelming. I pulled on my big girl pants and made it anyway–confessing all my sins. It was terrifying. The Priest gave me my penance and out I went into the church to pray. I forget the number of Our Fathers and Hail Marys he told to pray, but being so new to this, I merely asked God to forgive me again and repeated only those words a number of times.
Then I left the church–hoping I did it right. It was an overcast morning, but when I stepped out of the church, a beam of sunlight hit me and honestly seemed to fill me up. I was wrapped in its warmth and comforted. (I have tears typing this because I can fully recall that intense feeling–the most joyous loved feeling.)

Looking back on that experience, I realize the folly of my penance…I never recited the full prayers, (which I have corrected) but my point is God loves us and wants us with Him. If you feel you’re being targeted by evil…ask for strength and help. He’ll respond.

Aubergine

Thank you, pat. I believe He has responded and held me up throughout this week. I just keep praying!

That feeling of intense love from God comes when we most need it.

patfrederick

sending up prayers is my way of hugging people I don’t know but care a lot about!

Aubergine

I will keep you in my prayers Aubergine!

Aubergine

patfrederick

PAVACA

Aubergine
Yes. This can happen.
The physical reactions you name can be a combination of several things:
One: The subconscious mind releasing long-stored physical effects of earlier trauma.
Two: The body and the mind are releasing grief related to the earlier trauma (example: a child being sad or angry about not feeling loved.)
Three: The subconscious mind attempting to “pull the person back” into the earlier traumatic experience(s). This is because the subconscious mind is programmed to remember and relive mostly negative life experiences.

Yours Truly has experienced the above more than a few times; the latest round being when my brother passed away in October 2024. None of the times I’ve been through the types of reactions above have been easy or gentle. Some have been brutal.

The “things seem to be lightening up” feeling, IMO, represents the body — mind — spirit of the person “letting go” of what happened in the past. A combination of cleansing and being ready to move on.

Psalm 107:23-31 is the description of the sailors caught in a storm. They cry to the Lord for help. He “delivers them of their distresses.” He calms the storm and the winds. Then, the Lord guides the sailors “to their desired haven.”

I think these verses are a great description.

I think your Baptism may be an example of the Almighty God “calming the storm” and “guiding to the desired haven” for you.

Aubergine

Thank you, PAVACA. You are very kind. I feel like I am finally coming “into port.”

Firefly

Congratulations on your baptism! The spiritual journey has its dark nights! Prayer will see you through. “We walk by faith and not by sight!” Many prayers for you! 🙏 🙏 🙏

I am sorry you’ve been so challenged this week, Aubergine. Being sick is one thing; thinking Satan is attacking you is way more disconcerting. It might be he is going after those with strongest resistence (you) at a time when you are physically weak. As you heal physically, I think he will back off because he can’t possibly defeat you when you are at full strength!

Learning something you did not wish to know is challenging; you cannot unknow it. What you choose to do with the knowledge is fully in your control, including to continue as if you never learned it. You have full control over how you handle ‘the knowing’.

My prayers for a better week ahead, and expecting something in BakoCarl’s sermon tomorrow will speak to you. ✝️

Aubergine

Thank you, Alison. I did have that feeling that Carl’s post tomorrow might bring some comfort. It almost always does.

Tatonka Woman

Aubergine – I see this in a totally different light.

You have been given a very special Baptism experience, and through it, the chance to truly reflect on the life of Jesus and what He went through for our salvation.

It was the Baptism of Jesus in the river by John that truly began His purpose on Earth…His sacrifice for our salvation.

Through that He experienced:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • The weight on Him of the awareness of our sins
  • Multiple attacks by Satan

Please do not misunderstand! In no way am I comparing your experience to the fullness of that of Jesus.

But what I am saying is that what you have gone through this week is special. Take time now to reflect on each aspect of what has happened to you. Let it bring you to the deepest, closest connection you have ever had to the Son.

You have always shared your strong faith and that you belong to Jesus here with all of us on the QTree. I can see why you were blessed in this way.

And thank you for sharing your experience this week with all of us. May we all use it to grow in Christ.

“America, we have lost this city.”

Pastor Lorenzo Sewell unloaded during a Dearborn, Michigan, city meeting, accusing the city of operating under Sharia law.

“This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” Sewell said.

“Enough is enough.”

The outburst, which came amid a series of other anti-Islam protests in Dearborn, vocalizes fears that Muslim populations in Michigan are working to bring their communities more in line with their religious worldview, views Sewell believes are at odds with the vast majority of the country.

An interesting comment. I have highlighted the trigger words listed.

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

Verse of the Day for Saturday, August 22, 2026

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.”

Job 22:21 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR JOB 22

Eliphaz shows that a man’s goodness profits not God. (1-4) Job accused of oppression. (5-14) The world before the flood. (15-20) Eliphaz exhorts Job to repentance. (21-30)

1-4 Eliphaz considers that, because Job complained so much of his afflictions, he thought God was unjust in afflicting him; but Job was far from thinking so. What Eliphaz says, is unjustly applied to Job, but it is very true, that when God does us good it is not because he is indebted to us. Man’s piety is no profit to God, no gain. The gains of religion to men are infinitely greater than the losses of it. God is a Sovereign, who gives no account of his conduct; but he is perfectly wise, just, faithful, good, and merciful. He approves the likeness of his own holiness, and delights in the fruits of his Spirit; he accepts the thankful services of the humble believer, while he rejects the proud claim of the self-confident.

5-14 Eliphaz brought heavy charges against Job, without reason for his accusations, except that Job was visited as he supposed God always visited every wicked man. He charges him with oppression, and that he did harm with his wealth and power in the time of his prosperity.

15-20 Eliphaz would have Job mark the old way that wicked men have trodden, and see what the end of their way was. It is good for us to mark it, that we may not walk therein. But if others are consumed, and we are not, instead of blaming them, and lifting up ourselves, as Eliphaz does here, we ought to be thankful to God, and take it for a warning.

21-30 The answer of Eliphaz wrongly implied that Job had hitherto not known God, and that prosperity in this life would follow his sincere conversion. The counsel Eliphaz here gives is good, though, as to Job, it was built upon a false supposition that he was a stranger and enemy to God. Let us beware of slandering our brethren; and if it be our lot to suffer in this manner, let us remember how Job was treated; yea, how Jesus was reviled, that we may be patient. Let us examine whether there may not be some colour for the slander, and walk watchfully, so as to be clear of all appearances of evil.

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.

DO YOU NOT SEE?

Do you not see – I am with you
Do you not see – what I can do
Do you not see – by My Mighty Hand
I can and will heal your land

Do you not see – my anointed
Do you not see – who I appointed
Do you not see – man can do nothing
Do you not see – the enemy is bluffing

If my people which are called by My name
Will humble themselves – pray the same
Seek my face – turn from their wicked ways 
I will hear from Heaven as I do always

I will do the impossible – and bring Justice
I will rain down judgement – just trust Us
I will heal the afflicted in mind, body, and soul
I will repair the damage and make them whole

I can fix the damage the enemy has wrought
In unconventional ways no man has thought
It is I who created the world and over it rule
It is the enemy I will foil and make the fool

America and Israel are My covenant nations
It is I who have created their foundations
And thus – I will not see them destroyed
Nor will I forget them or leave them void

Yes the enemy has infiltrated their institutions
Truth has been hidden from their distributions 
Fear and anxiety have destroyed their faith
From lies and deception they could not escape

Ah – but I am greater than they who deceive
From Me restitution and peace you will receive
Watch and See My power to relieve
Be not afraid – Be still – and Believe!!!

They have been wearing hijabs at the VA hospital for years, starting around the time they started sending people home from the war. They have regulations promoting diversity so that there can’t be an overwhelming presence of one group, but somehow this doesn’t apply to the pharmacy. This one guy looks like he’s always on meth. Google captagon, or better yet, use a search engine that won’t hide things from you.

It sounds like a whole heck of a lot of vets should wander into that prayer room with pulled pork sandwiches, bacon biscuits, service dogs, AND PIGS

EVERYTHING I WARNED YOU ABOUT GOLD & SILVER JUST HAPPENED — THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Gail Combs

Either the maker of this video is ignorant or he is an agent of the City of London.

At around five minutes:

4:34

4 minutes, 34 seconds

In the early 1970s, the United States faced a version of this same pressure.

Government spending had expanded significantly through the 1960s. A war was consuming enormous public resources, and a formal link between the dollar and gold established decades earlier at Bretonwoods was becoming impossible to maintain because there was simply not enough gold in Fort Knox to back the number of dollars in circulation at the promised exchange rate. In August of 1971, the president at the time closed what was called the gold window, ending the dollar’s direct convertability into gold. What followed over the next decade was one of the most instructive periods in modern financial history. Inflation, once it took hold, proved far stickier and more painful than policymakers expected. Gold, which had been fixed near $35 an ounce for decades, was suddenly free to trade at whatever price the market decided it deserved. And within less than 10 years, it had risen more than 20fold. Silver moved even more violently in both directions because silver has always been the higher beta cousin of gold. More industrial, more volatile, more sensitive to swings in both fear and speculation. I bring up the 1970s not because I believe we are living through an identical replay of that decade….

What actually happened:

First the banksters got the Fed Reserve act passed in 1913. Then the USA got dragged into world war I & II via subterfuge. You can go look it up. Meanwhile FDR had confiscated privately held gold and outlawed US citizens from holding any gold but jewelry. BUT BANKS, foreign banks could exchange US dollars for gold.

Then we got stuck with the Marshal Plan that flooded Europe with US dollars. England went around and bought up those dollars starting in the 1930s…

Congressman McFadden’s Speech in1934 before the attempts on his life and the final successful one resulting in his murder……

“Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man’s throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.

 “These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky’s passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. “Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any…

“By his unlawful usurpation of power on the night of March 5, 1933, and by his proclamation, which in my opinion was in violation of the Constitution of the United States, Roosevelt divorced the currency of the United States from gold, and the United States currency is no longer protected by gold. It is therefore sheer dishonesty to say that the people’s gold is needed to protect the currency.

“Roosevelt ordered the people to give their gold to private interests- that is, to banks, and he took control of the banks so that all the gold and gold values in them, or given into them, might be handed over to the predatory International Bankers who own and control the Fed.

“Roosevelt cast his lot with the usurers. “He agreed to save the corrupt and dishonest at the expense of the people of the United States.

“He took advantage of the people’s confusion and weariness and spread the dragnet over the United States to capture everything of value that was left in it. He made a great haul for the International Bankers.

  :wpds_arrow: “The Prime Minister of England came here for money!

He came here to collect cash!

“He came here with Fed Currency and other claims against the Fed which England had bought up in all parts of the world. And he has presented them for redemption in gold.

“Mr. Chairman, I am in favor of compelling the Fed to pay their own debts. I see no reason why the general public should be forced to pay the gambling debts of the International Bankers…

Gail Combs

And that is just ONE of the fallacies I spotted in the first 5 minutes.

It pulled the Classic ‘This choice’ or ‘That choice’ false choices. Completely ignoring Trump’s solution of GROWING our way out of Debt.

He also neglects to mention “ the Rothschild family historically played the central role in setting the global gold price. From 1919 to 2004, the London Gold Fixing was conducted at the offices of N.M. Rothschild & Sons in London, where representatives from five major banks negotiated a daily benchmark price.” Link

I am posting the link for its information only, not to solicit donations for O’Keefe. Although I do wonder why wealthy people who do care about America and having clean elections would not donate to reveal the corruption on video. Why is it always the average people who send their donations that do the dirty work of exposure? Why is the federal government not using sufficient undercover operatives doing the exposure and following up with the charges and arrests?

Oh silly me, I lost my sense of reality there for a minute.

“…Why is the federal government not using sufficient undercover operatives doing the exposure and following up with the charges and arrests?….”

I think it is because they are silently gathering evidence of RICO AND INSURRECTION.

I think you can link, Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump impeachments the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Covid-9, Act Blue taking millions in donations from Foreigners, AND the hacking of US election equipment all together into one MASSIVE criminal enterprise designed to overthrow the people’s elected leader and reclaim control of this country so it could be destroyed.

Talks Collapse – Tariffs Begin Now – A Direct and Confrontational U.S-Canada Trade War is Now a Reality
August 22, 2026

SD: “Moments ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered the news via his X account. Discussions between the U.S and Canada have collapsed. All trade representatives are called back home. The 50% U.S. tariffs against Canada are now in effect. A trade war begins.

First, read the statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney, with the understanding that Carney is making the first statement because the news is exceptionally bad for Canada. Worse than bad.

.

When the 3-day tariff pause was announced, CTH said to be cautious. When USTR Jamieson Greer and Canadian negotiator Dominic LeBlanc said the terms were “basically agreed”, again CTH said be careful.

The reason for our notes of extreme caution is because the divide between the two economies and trade policy is just too big. There was no way for both sides to close the gap without major structural economic changes within Canada. The issues are not points of friction, they are just too big and embedded within the laws of Canada that would have to change.

Banking regulations would have to change. Intellectual property and media rules, regulations and laws would have to change. Industrial policy would have to change. The Canadian energy policy would have to change. The carbon trading scheme would have to change or be removed. All of this would fall upon Canada to carry out in order to position their economy in alignment with the USA. There’s literally no way for their government to accomplish this against the backdrop of their political ideology.

That was the structural argument and point made by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This is also why the USMCA as a trilateral trade agreement is impossible to maintain. The only trade agreement construct possible is two clearly separate bilateral free trade agreements, one with Mexico and one with Canada.

The 50% tariffs begin tonight.

A trade war is underway.

This is breaking news. More to come soon….

UPDATE: USTR Response

[jpeg of Jamieson Greer]

“Tonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.

Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. In addition, Canada is continuing to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including, among other things, flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.

For decades, Canada has enjoyed the most favorable access to the U.S. market of any country. And from the beginning of President Trump’s trade program, Canada has continued to enjoy the best treatment in the world, even after – like China – retaliating against the United States. This week, the United States agreed to provide even better treatment to Canada, offering significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.

The U.S. offer was also forward looking, and included a historic economic and national security partnership to cooperate on export controls, combat transshipment, enhance digital trade, and align certain external tariffs. The offer would have led to supply chain coordination on aerospace, complementary actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations.

This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7.” 

~ U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer

Subjects versus citizens. Their punishment will make them wish they were the latter. The global economic war continues.

Wolf Moon

IMO this is because CHINA vetoed the deal, and Chinadia clicked their heels.

Aubergine

This is unbelievably bad:

“A routine trip to the hospital for joint-replacement surgery turned into a medical nightmare for four patients in Nashville after a pharmacy error allegedly resulted in them receiving a potentially dangerous potassium compound instead of an anesthetic.

Two of the patients were reportedly left paralyzed, one remains on a ventilator, and multiple patients went into cardiac arrest following the August 14 incident at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now involved. According to the hospital, the four patients were supposed to receive mepivacaine, a local anesthetic commonly used during surgical procedures. Instead, the hospital’s pharmacy supplied potassium phosphate.

In excessive amounts or when administered too rapidly, potassium can cause potentially fatal changes in heart rhythm and cardiac arrest.

Ascension Saint Thomas acknowledged the error Friday.”

From later in the article, something that makes me wonder:

“But some online have looked to the hospital leadership as a potential culprit in the shocking case.

Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown is led by Dr. Shubhada Jagasia, a longtime physician and endocrinologist who serves as president and CEO of Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital, Midtown and West campuses. Jagasia received her medical degree from Seth G.S. Medical College in Mumbai before completing postgraduate training in the United States.

There is no reported connection between Jagasia’s education or credentials and the pharmacy error. But the incident comes amid a separate national debate about the increasingly international pipeline supplying America’s healthcare workforce — and whether credential verification systems are keeping pace.

That debate intensified this summer after Indian authorities uncovered an enormous alleged academic-fraud network involving dozens of universities.

Investigators reportedly seized roughly 100,000 fraudulent degrees, certificates, transcripts and related documents from a network spanning at least 28 institutions. The forged credentials covered numerous fields, including medicine, nursing and engineering, and authorities said some may have been used to support applications for U.S. H-1B visas.”

wondering about the reading proficiency of the pharmacy techs.

Aubergine

There should be multiple people who read those labels before the drugs or anesthesia are administered. This story is crazy.

Wolf Moon

Yes. Something ain’t right

Wolf Moon

Yes, there are definitely MANY foreign doctors in the system now, and I am not convinced that all of them are qualified. I personally ran into one case where a foreign doctor essentially gave up on figuring out a problem, including the possibility of referral to a specialist, and punted to something that – while it was beneficial by virtue of “always being good for the patient” – basically evaded further diagnosis to close the case and save money. I went along with it, because this way I can pick my own specialist, on my own schedule.

On Saturday, August 22, 2026, retired Judge Michael Chitty denied a motion for a new trial for Karmelo Anthony, the 19-year-old convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.
Anthony was previously sentenced to 35 years in prison following a June 2026 conviction for the fatal stabbing at a Frisco high school track meet.
Judge Chitty’s order stated that after reviewing the motion, record, evidence, arguments, briefs, and relevant case law, the court determined the motion should be denied. This decision concludes this phase of post-conviction proceedings in Collin County.

Wolf Moon

IMO the only reason to give him a new trial is to make sure he gets LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE or the DEATH PENALTY next time.

Brave and Free

Agreed. How old is he 18?
So he’ll be out at 53 if he serves the full sentence and we all know that’ll never happen.
He’s getting off easy and he’ll have his new friend Bubba looking out for him.

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness

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

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance

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

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening

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