Dear MAGA: 20260929 ❀ DePat Tuesday ❀ Open Topic | The Woodlouse Hunter

This DePat Tuesday Open Thread honors the author of the original Tuesday open thread on this site, namely the late Susie Sampson, a.k.a. Deplorable Patriot, among her other handles, pen names, etc.

For more on the untimely passing of Dear DePat, please see these three posts.


At one time, DePat handled FOUR daily open threads here, in addition to taking care of her relatives, choir duties, and numerous other responsibilities. She was a powerhouse – a dynamo – a true force of nature.

DePat’s faith in Trump, Q, “The Plan”, the White Hats, and “the anons” in general, was legendary. Although I didn’t always agree with her quick acceptance of some sketchier evidence and fringier theories, I will gladly admit to “coming around” to numerous so-called “conspiracy theories” which she championed first. I was always careful to give her credit for being right, too, when I had been wrong.

It is impossible to overstate how much DePat did for not only this site, but for her country. I urge all to say a quick prayer of thanks, whenever you think of her, for the privilege of knowing, in life or after death, such an exemplary human being, and lover of God.

And thank you, Susie, for the firm foundation which you left us, when you were called to your true home!

I have found a new spider expert on YouTube – or rather, the algorithm found a new one for me. This guy is slow, thorough, and meticulous. Enjoy this 45-minute presentation, about a spider you may well have in your house, or out in your yard. It has many unique features and behaviors.

That’s enough for now. Have a great Tuesday!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Rep. Nancy Mace:

We just introduced a constitutional amendment to require every federal judge to be a natural born AMERICAN citizen.

Good effort. Does anyone think it will successfully make it through this process?

https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution

Portions from the link:

The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution.

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.

I hate to say it, but it dies right there.
More details at the link.

Gail Combs

AND the RINOs!

patfrederick

I read the Senate is sitting on 700 bills, I believe, passed by the House already. Thune is an abomination.

TradeBait2

Club Senate has its rules, procedures and practices that must be followed – remember? Seems somebody on here has brought that up a time or two through the years.

Club Senate has been the bane of America’s existence for far too long. Along with the two party system that pretends to be at odds with one another.

patfrederick

the rules only exist to provide cover for the cowards and traitors who don’t want to their jobs.

Aubergine

It got screwed up when we allowed Senators to be elected by the people rather than appointed by their state legislatures. We should go back to that.

patfrederick

injecting bribery money into the picture didn’t help either.
i think they should have to wear suits showing their major donors–like nascar does. we need to know who’s lobbying them AGAINST we the people’s interests.

Aubergine

Lol, yeah.

Barb Meier

Who said AI is good for nothing? We could get AI to add donor logos to their clothing in photos and videos.  😂 

patfrederick

good idea!

kalbokalbs

Truly a great idea.

Imagine the memes.

Congress critters yacking away, with Big Pharma logos on their clothes. Defense contractors, banks…

Barb Meier

More might appreciate the value of AI if we set it to valuable tasks.

Alison

I don’t understand why that would make any difference.

At least in Colorado – and I’m guessing many other states – even our local school board elections attract $$$ millions from outside PACS, indiviuals and even foreign money. There isn’t any level of elections untainted by outside forces.

Our state legislature has been compromised for decades. I’m pretty sure many other states are in a similar situation. I am confused every time someone suggests what you’re suggesting because no one explains WHY that is preferable. I’m open to being educated 🙃

Aubergine

Ok. Scenario:

I am a citizen of Montana. I am very unhappy with my current Senators (I’m not; but for this example, say I am).

The voters of Montana elected them. Who do I pressure to make a change? Five hundred thousand voters? Or my local Representative?

See the difference? It makes it so that there is a more direct and personal way to influence the political situation.

Recent real life example:

A city council in Montana decided to vote to no longer cooperate with ICE, which is not really a thing you can do in Montana, but the law is a little vague, so they gave it a shot.

I read about, and called my Representative. Since Montana’s legislature only meets every other year, he told me he would work to strengthen the law at that time. I protested that plan vociferously. I told him that with one city doing it, by next February it would be endemic in Montana for towns not to cooperate with all kinds of federal law.

Within two weeks, the Governor had held that city council to account, and they recanted their vote.

The more directly we are able to contact people in government, the more we are able to influence what they do. It matters.

Does that help?

Alison

Yes! Thank you! 👍

Gail Combs

For me, My Senator (Burr) saw that I was essentially banned from the internet. This was back in 2015. All my comments went to trash according to Jo Nova and Chiefio. I also was banned from Disqus  (Via Breitbart & American Stinker) and my e-mails would not even go to Hubby!

TradeBait2

I got the disqus ban hammer as well. I wear that one with pride.

Gail Combs

I have made zero effort to get rid of the ban.

Tricia McLaughlin:

Fentanyl deaths are down 55% and Heroin deaths down 89% from their peaks.

That’s a direct result of closing the border and enforcing the laws on the books.

Aubergine

Well, the midterms are HERE!

So are the RNC and all the political people going to do anything? Or are they all asleep, or half-dead like Mitch McConnell?

kalbokalbs

Half dead. Waiting for Trump and Elon to save their sorry asses.

Robert Baker

When it comes to the issues that they care about it is egocentric. They care about things that affect their personal lives like the cost of living, and other things that affect their families. Crime statistics, unemployment, etc., are only interesting as it directly relates to how they live their lives. The big issues will always be the cost of goods, and quality of life. That is why affordability is such a universal hook. Repubs should concentrate on those issues. Most voters will not consider data centers and AI concerning until and unless it affects them directly. What resonates is, as the Capitol One commercial endlessly says, “What’s in your wallet?”. I think a study would validate my opinion.

This spine tingling moment just happened at the Sen. Johnson Hospital Protocols Hearing.

I can understand exactly why the room erupted.

[I didn’t see or hear the room erupt.]

Here’s an attorney with 50 years experience.

At the start of covid, he gets flooded with requests to make Hospitals give early treatment protocols.

But the result of his work is the part really blew my mind.

95.8% of the cases he won ,to force the Hospital to administer Ivermectin. Survived.

But then I heard the contrast of what happened when he lost his cases… the patients who had to go with standard of care hospital protocols which included Remdesivir.

Ralph Lorigo Esq. – “Where I lost…. Every. Single. Person. Died”

I’m left speechless.

kalbokalbs

Big Pharma.   :cheers: 

TradeBait2

Murderers all. That’s what commies do.

Aubergine

They died for people’s trust in Big Medicine.

They primed us for decades to go to doctors for help, and in this instance gave the opposite.

MollyPitcher5

AND they were able to do it in complete privacy. No visitors allowed.

kalbokalbs

Right To Try For Off Label.

Such an Obvious Right in a FREE COUNTRY.

Hope someone whispers this in Rhonda’s ear. Along with RFK Jr.

Aubergine

I’ve told people for years that Covid is not what killed their people. The hospital protocols killed them.

I have now heard of a couple of people (from the Q Tree) who died at home of Covid. That’s it. Almost everyone who died, died in a hospital or care facility.

If it was a real pandemic, the homeless dead would have littered the streets. But they didn’t, because they received no “care.” Lucky bastards.

Watch Steven Crowder take Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy to task over Trump’s defunding of Harvard.

3:34 long. Crowder starts speaking at about 2:05.

pgroup

Sounds like a fair fight.

Aubergine

Harvard rep arguing with a Hillsdale rep in an open forum would be hilarious.

Bringing a knife to a gunfight, in my opinion.

scott467

Hard to sit through Ellsworth Toohey’s monologue, but Crowder was outstanding.

Aubergine

I skipped Ellsworth. Just like Roark, I don’t think of him.

That is my favorite line in a book, ever.

Quack visit yesterday.

  • NOT ONE word about Jabs of any type.
  • Quack agreed DW stop her low dose statin.

Quack fumbled and mumbled when I asked. Can I get Ivermectin script. Will reengage Ivermectin thing in six months.

For now, minor wins of sorts dealing with Quack, established medicine protocol.

Also checked with local pharmacy that does compounding. They still are not selling Ivermectin. Concerns over “regulatory” bullshit. Ivermectin OTC legal in TX. Go figure.

kalbokalbs

Texas Pharmacies reported selling Ivermectin OTC.

Examples of Texas pharmacies that have been reported as dispensing/selling it without a prescription

These come from pharmacy websites, news reports, and community-compiled lists (such as Texans for Vaccine Choice’s crowdsourced database). Availability can change—verify directly:

Even in TN we have the same reluctance by some of the compounding pharmacies to distribute. Fortunately, there is at least one in most markets that will. I suspect the dam will break wide open when Marsha steps in the governor’s mansion.

My parasite cleanse that includes it from TWC came through one of their linked pharmacies instate in Johnson City, TN. Before this time it came out of New Jersey. I pay more through TWC, but I know it is an American product.

Tractor Supply or your local feed store always has vitamin I in stock. Just sayin’.

kalbokalbs

Use it topically.

If needed internal, prolly with marmalade or the like.

Aubergine

Yes, mine gets buried in whatever jam or jelly I currently have made!

It tastes nasty if I don’t. I just swallow it like a raw oyster, lol.

Gail Combs

My horses agree with you on the it tastes nasty!

holly

I bought some Vit. I creme. Ivrea 1.0%.

Aubergine

I just pick mine up off the shelf at the feed store. A bigger farm supply near me is the same. I have ordered from Tractor Supply online.

It’s common around here. Horses need it yearly at least, I think.

Gail Combs

Every 2 months depending on the worm egg burden in the pastures. If you rotate paddocks, allow 48 hours in a sacrifice area after worming so the worm eggs do not re-infect the herbivores, you can get away with a couple times a year.

Aubergine

I’m sure our parasite load is less here than where you are, simply due to humidity. It is really dry in Montana.

Gail Combs

You are correct. Another method for dealing with parasite eggs is to use a chain harrow to spread and aerate manure piles so the eggs are exposed to sunlight and drying.

Aubergine

Ebola is never going to be a “thing” in a developed nation. I wish they’d give it up.

MollyPitcher5

Only if we were under a dem regime where the illegals could come and go to their homelands as they pleased. Then it would be plausible that it would spread *with their help of course.

Aubergine

The think about Ebola is, it is so virulent and fast a killer, it doesn’t “spread” easily before it is contained. The whole town is dead before anyone gets out.

They would have to really TRY to spread Ebola in the developed world.

Gail Combs

BUT a whole bunch came here for the UN meetings BEFORE this anouncement.  🙄

From OT:

Rubio on U.S. RAF Fairford Base Terror Threat, “Clearly Involves the Hands of a Foreign Actor”
September 29, 2026

SD: Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on Fox News last night for a discussion of current geopolitical events. The segment starts with an open-ended question about updates to the terror plot surrounding RAF Fairford base in the U.K against U.S. military targets.

Secretary Rubio was very measured in his response, noting he could not discuss too much and did not want to get out ahead of the investigation; however, he did confirm the terrorism plot “clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor.”  People in American and the U.K are puzzled by the British authority position to release the suspects on bail, less than 24 hours after they were arrested. Everything surrounding this event is very weird.” WATCH:

Trump quietly floods media with CRYPTIC SIGNALS and nobody caught it
.

TheseTruths

I watched to see exactly what he was saying.

PDJT had said he would make an announcement Monday at 2:00 pm. People made a big deal about it, saying it might have been related to the Anthropic meeting. (I think it turned out to be about a steel mill being built in Iowa.)

America.gov has a countdown timer, leading to 10 am Tuesday (today).

2:23 – Many anons are “saying this is very ominous,” and who knows what this website is going to say.

(Me: Get a grip, people. There was nothing ominous about these announcements. There is nothing weird about the website. Stop looking for mysterious happenings.)

PDJT is showing a 30-second commercial during NFL games (or one game; not sure). This was posted here yesterday. It targets the Deep State on national TV.

PDJT is posting clusters of videos on Truth Social and is said to be signaling a lot of different things.
4:33 – “Now, a lot of these videos are very ominous, sort of cryptic if you want to say, but clearly highlight certain achievements or certain viewpoints.”

6:45 – PDJT is “giving certain clues,” not with every specific item, but “the general message he’s giving as we approach more and more of this end state. The end goal, if you will, is that he’s giving hints, he’s giving clues, he’s giving reassurance to many of us that there really is a war, a Deep State war, that he’s getting rid of this swamp, this New World Order, this cabal, whatever you want to call it, and that progress is being made.”

As for the “cryptic signals” in the title, maybe, and maybe not. People here are so dialed in that this doesn’t seem cryptic to me. I think someone who is less aware would probably not see signals at all.

My opinion: My third-to-last paragraph here, that starts with “6:45,” is what is happening. I think PDJT is indicating that he has never stopped fighting and that he is orchestrating things as promised. The fact that he is communicating with us is exciting; but I do not see anything ominous, mysterious, or cryptic in his stating he would announce something the following day, or in his launching a website. It is merely progress being made, through SI (AI), in communications and in the presentation of information. I do think the idea that it is all part of the master plan is encouraging, reassuring, and inspiring to persevere.

Vandalism of Flock Cameras Continues in Toledo, Ohio

The surveillance cabal, Flock, does not like being surveilled, via Gates of Vienna:
Flock Seeks to Have Security Researchers’ Map of Flock Cameras Taken Down —
Unauthenticated Flaw Exposed 335,701 Camera Locations Nationwide
A security researcher discovered a vulnerability in Flock’s website that gave him an access token without needing login credentials. The researcher used the information gleaned to build a map of Flock cameras and share it on a website he named the Flock Surveillance Map, which now lists the location of 335,701 cameras. Flock has now issued a trademark infringement complaint with the goal of having the researcher close the website.
According to The Intercept, Joshua Michael used this to query ArcGIS, a third-party mapping and geospatial layer that Flock uses, to retrieve a database of Flock devices in November 2025.

Gail Combs

DEMAND a JURY trial in rural Montana or other deep red state. (Time to move your residence.)

patfrederick

from what i understand, this is not a government system–am i right? these flocks cameras are not owned by the government. the government is a consumer of the information.
If i were to drive around my town and map them who’s to stop me?
Are they supposed to be hidden in plain sight to catch people? did they obtain permission from the places they installed them? do they use power? do they get an electric bill from each location?
I don’t know enough about them.

Gail Combs

In our city, I found out that the police department is responsible for the flocks. I’ve made my 2nd attempt to contact the police department to ask why we have one pointing in the direction of our home. I’m waiting.

Go to the police department. I will bet they have a “no cell phones or videos allowed” sign. Ask them WHY you are getting video taped 24/7 but you can not video tape YOUR employee –them!

I sent this article to my state Attorney General this morning.

Apple watch is introducing a feature that automatically records everyday conversation for playback later. Montana is a two-party-consent state for recording. I don’t see how this doesn’t violate the law:

“Apple is introducing new Apple Watch features capable of processing everyday conversations and creating records of what was said, adding another layer to growing concerns about how deeply consumer technology is reaching into Americans’ private lives.

The new features, called Live Rewind and Siri Recap, are coming in beta later this year for the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.

Both are opt-in for the person wearing the watch, according to Apple.

The person standing across from them, however, does not get that choice.”

Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced Monday that her department is reinstating the Title IX regulations that were in place during President Trump’s first term. Fox News reports the move rescinds the Biden administration’s 2024 rule, which Fox describes as allowing boys who identified as girls to compete in girls’ and women’s sports at schools that receive federal funding.
McMahon said the new regulations “𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.”
The Biden rule had already lost in court. A federal judge in Kentucky vacated it nationwide in January 2025, ruling the Education Department 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, and the department said then that it would enforce the 2020 rules.
This week’s action finishes the job: the 2024 text is 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and the 2020 rule is restored, so schools can see which rules are actually in effect.
For every parent of a girl on a school team, the federal rulebook now matches what the courts already decided. Critics, including LGBTQ advocacy groups, have opposed the rollback, but the Biden rewrite is now 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬.

Another report on Sen. Ron Johnson’s Senate hearing regarding the deaths of COVID-19 patients in hospitals — deaths that were the result of the FDA’s denial of use of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine in hospitals:

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/senator-ron-johnson-roundtable-post
“Senator Ron Johnson’s Roundtable Post Mortem: Democide Hospital Protocols, Subversion Of Civil Liberties & Other Crimes Against Humanity”
29 September 2026
Yours Truly: REMDESIVIR (“Run, Death is Near!” it’s called by some nurses) was co-developed by DR. RALPH BARIC.

The COVID-19 hospital disaster, IMO, was the result of collusion (between FDA and the AMA and/or hospital accreditation agencies) / fear — hospitals would lose their accreditation; physicians would lose their hospital privileges and possibly also their License to Practice Medicine / financial incentives paid to hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients using “current standard of care” products (Remdesivir; ventilators; etc.).
IMO, ALL of the above were “orchestrated” and/or overseen by ONE PERSON:
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, MD.

And if anyone thinks that the above scenario can’t be done again — next time, due to an “Avian Influenza pandemic”, or an “Ebola pandemic”, etc. — Yours Truly has a bridge to sell.

TheseTruths

“Fear” being the key word. While some fears are normal and healthy, irrational fear is paralyzing and can induce trust in the wrong thing.

COVID was sprung on us, and most of us had no experience with a pandemic or knowledge about that particular disease. Now we are aware that this is part of the playbook. There will still be areas of science, medicine, and technology of which many are relatively ignorant, but we can at least start to ask the right questions and try to stave off whatever they might be planning. Knowledge and strategy are enemies of fear.

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

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, September 29, 2026

✟

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

2 Peter 3:10 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR 2 PETER 3

The design here is to remind of Christ’s final coming to judgement. (1-4) He will appear unexpectedly, when the present frame of nature will be dissolved by fire. (5-10) From thence is inferred the need for holiness, and stedfastness in the faith. (11-18)

1-4 The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they may be active and lively in the work of holiness. There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. One very principal article of our faith refers to what only has a promise to rest upon, and scoffers will attack it till our Lord is come. They will not believe that he will come. Because they see no changes, therefore they fear not God, #Ps 55:19|. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.

5-10 Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment. The heavens and the earth which now are, by the same word, it is declared, will be destroyed by fire. This is as sure to come, as the truth and the power of God can make it. Christians are here taught and established in the truth of the coming of the Lord. Though, in the account of men, there is a vast difference between one day and a thousand years, yet, in the account of God, there is no difference. All things past, present, and future, are ever before him: the delay of a thousand years cannot be so much to him, as putting off any thing for a day or for an hour is to us. If men have no knowledge or belief of the eternal God, they will be very apt to think him such as themselves. How hard is it to form any thoughts of eternity! What men count slackness, is long-suffering, and that to us-ward; it is giving more time to hisown people, to advance in knowledge and holiness, and in the exercise of faith and patience, to abound in good works, doing and suffering what they are called to, that they may bring glory to God. Settle therefore in your hearts that you shall certainly be called to give an account of all things done in the body, whether good or evil. And let a humble and diligent walking before God, and a frequent judging of yourselves, show a firm belief of the future judgment, though many live as if they were never to give any account at all. This day will come, when men are secure, and have no expectation of the day of the Lord. The stately palaces, and all the desirable things wherein wordly-minded men seek and place their happiness, shall be burned up; all sorts of creatures God has made, and all the works of men, must pass through the fire, which shall be a consuming fire to all that sin has brought into the world, though a refining fire to the works of God’s hand. What will become of us, if we set our affections on this earth, and make it our portion, seeing all these things shall be burned up? Therefore make sure of happiness beyond this visible world.

11-18 From the doctrine of Christ’s second coming, we are exhorted to purity and godliness. This is the effect of real knowledge. Very exact and universal holiness is enjoined, not resting in any low measure or degree. True Christians look for new heavens and a new earth; freed from the vanity to which things present are subject, and the sin they are polluted with. Those only who are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, shall be admitted to dwell in this holy place. He is faithful, who has promised. Those, whose sins are pardoned, and their peace made with God, are the only safe and happy people; therefore follow after peace, and that with all men; follow after holiness as well as peace. Never expect to be found at that day of God in peace, if you are lazy and idle in this your day, in which we must finish the work given us to do. Only the diligent Christian will be the happy Christian in the day of the Lord. Our Lord will suddenly come to us, or shortly call us to him; and shall he find us idle? Learn to make a right use of the patience of our Lord, who as yet delays his coming. Proud, carnal, and corrupt men, seek to wrest some things into a seeming agreement with their wicked doctrines. But this is no reason why St. Paul’s epistles, or any other part of the Scriptures, should be laid aside; for men, left to themselves, pervert every gift of God. Then let us seek to have our minds prepared for receiving things hard to be understood, by putting in practice things which are more easy to be understood. But there must be self-denial and suspicion of ourselves, and submission to the authority of Christ Jesus, before we can heartily receive all the truths of the gospel, therefore we are in great danger of rejecting the truth. And whatever opinions and thoughts of men are not according to the law of God, and warranted by it, the believer disclaims and abhors. Those who are led away by error, fall from their own stedfastness. And that we may avoid being led away, we must seek to grow in all grace, in faith, and virtue, and knowledge. Labour to know Christ more clearly, and more fully; to know him so as to be more like him, and to love him better. This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, for ever.

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.

Forgiveness in the 21st Century

Mind splitter, code keeper, builder of the altars
Where will you go when the magic falters
Soul snatcher, trespasser, thief of the will
Cold-hearted, calculated; gives me a chill

Spell caster, handler, false web weaver
Seems like your working up a real bad fever
Tavistock, CIA, MI6, FBI pick up sticks
All of you playing from the same bag of tricks

Who gave you the right; what makes you dare
Do you have any doubts about what is fair
Worker of iniquity, mind violator
What turned you into this stone-cold hater

You herald human intellect, elevate the mind
Survival of the fittest, strong wins over kind
Compassion seen as weakness, absorbed into the hive
Mentality of evil; it eats you up alive

The WILL is inviolate and should be sanctified
All your violations, abominations; will be tried
Judged and convicted, by the rule of the Law
There is a Higher Power that watches over all

Reject the dark forces, renounce and repent
Turn your face away, before your life is spent
Chasing after evil, disguised as golden light
You can’t change its nature, try as you might

To continue to deny exactly what you see
Before your very eyes, the true reality
We have been told, they will prefer the lie
At times the vision weakens me; makes me cry

The evil slay the wicked, it’s written in the Book
Maybe you should check it out; take a closer look
Power and the pleasure; the riches you enjoy
Are fleeting, temporary, spoiled, a rich man’s toy

It hasn’t been an easy path that leads me to today
Where I can truly pray for you, and mean it, when I say
Forgiveness, such a thorny rose, but one that can be known
From deep within the heart; through prayer, in tears, alone

RED ALERT 🚨 🚨

YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT DR. ERICA SCHWARTZ, MD, Rear Adm (ret) WHEN SHE WAS CONFIRMED AS THE NEW CDC DIRECTOR — THE “QUEEN OF VACCINES.” THE “ENFORCER” OF THE PENTAGON’S COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINE” MANDATE ON THE U.S.MILITARY.

YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT HOW HHS SEC. KENNEDY, JR., WAS BEING HOBBLED AND IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS.

See below:

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/staggering-surrender-cdc-pushes-covid-vaccines-healthy-people-label
“‘Staggering surrender’: CDC pushes COVID vaccines for healthy people ‘off-label,’ infuriating MAHA”
Greg Piper
28 September 2026
Yours Truly: THIS was the ultimate goal of that damnable “ruling” by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy earlier this year, when he rescinded ALL of the ACIP committee’s recommendations back to JULY 2025 (this re-instituting the OLD CDC “recommended” immunization schedules); THIS was a top priority of then-nominee Dr. Erica Schwartz, MD, Rear Adm (ret) during her Senate confirmation hearing to become the new CDC director (“I will always follow the science.”); THIS was the ultimate goal of Albert Bourla, DVM (CEO of PfizerUSA) in getting that “drug cost lowering agreement” pushed through the White House last year.

The ULTIMATE GOAL was ALWAYS to get the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” into EVERY AMERICAN FROM AGE 6 MONTHS AND OLDER.
And now the CDC is facilitating it — BY THE BACK DOOR.
By MAGICALLY CREATING a loophole big enough for the AMA TO DRIVE THROUGH — making these “vaccines” available FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE as an “OFF-LABEL” product.
THIS opens up a HUGE opportunity for physicians, pharmacists, PAs, Nurse Practitioners, and other who are licensed to administer these “vaccines”, to GASLIGHT, PSYOP, AND “CONVINCE” healthy persons under age 65 years to get the “vaccines.”

The CDC’s quiet, no-advance-warning press release is here:

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f525.svghttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg BREAKING — Sen. Ted Cruz just went nuclear on Jack Smith for turning a special counsel into a donor-harvesting operation.

Smith’s team collected 4,782 personal checks written by ordinary Americans who gave to President Trump. Not a spreadsheet. Copies of the actual checks. 

They also issued 197 subpoenas aimed at 430 Republican organizations and individuals, and Cruz put the spying on GOP senators in the same pile.

That is not looking for a crime. That is mapping a political network and photocopying kitchen-table donations like they were contraband.

If a Democrat donor’s checkbook got pulled at that scale, the networks would still be on air. Treat this as the scandal it is. Publish the subpoena list and make Smith answer for every name.

Bill Gates has reemerged to help usher in the next GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY just like he did with COVID-19.

Just weeks before smirking about “a billion deaths” from AI bioterrorism, Gates literally funded the first-ever creation of synthetic viruses using AI.

Now he’s warning that we may have to “suffer” major attacks before the world adopts his AI regulations.

We’ve seen this playbook before.

In 2015, Gates warned that “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus.”

During COVID, Gates said we could only return to normal when “almost every person on the planet has been vaccinated” with mRNA injections he had spent over $100 million on.

Now that same playbook is being repackaged around AI, synthetic biology, and bioterrorism.

IVERMECTIN’S MIRACULOUS RESULTS For Neurological Conditions Of Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s.

Buried Research,  👉 Deleted From Google, Has Been Found, Proving Ivermectin Reverses Alzheimer’s. Neurological Disease Improves In Only A Few Days On Ivermectin Therapy… 

…Recent studies have explored its effects on neuroinflammation, neurotransmission & synaptic protection. Ivermectin’s Effects On Neurological Disease:

1. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: A 2023 study published in Inflammation demonstrated that ivermectin mitigates neuroinflammatory damage in encephalomyelitis. Ivermectin reduced inflammatory cytokines.

2. Stabilizes Neurotransmission: A 2019 study in PLOS Pathogens found that ivermectin restores balance in synaptic neuro pathways.

3. Cholinergic Transmission: A 2024 study published in Cell & Bioscience reported that ivermectin increased activity of striatal cholinergic interneurons, enhancing dopamine release via nicotinic receptor modulation. [Think Parkinson’s. Hubby has been put on carbidopa-levodopa, which the brain converts into dopamine to replenish depleted levels.]

Conclusion: Ivermectin is emerging as more than an antiparasitic agent.

Its anti-inflammatory, synaptic & cholinergic effects are beneficial in neurodegenerative disorders like Dementia, Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s. Dosages suggested by Dr. William Makis: Parkinson’s: Patients on high-dose ivermectin (60-72mg) saw dramatic improvements in movement & symptoms. – Multiple cases of symptom reversal—where tremors, stiffness & rigidity significantly improved. Alzheimer’s: Patients on low-dose ivermectin (12-24 mg for 4-5 days) brought back memories, recognition & cognitive function in patients. Why Isn’t This Everywhere? – A preclinical Alzheimer’s study proving ivermectin’s healing ability was SCRUBBED from Google. – Big Pharma doesn’t profit from a safe, cheap, Nobel Prize-winning drug that reverses neurodegeneration. This isn’t theoretical—it’s happening NOW in real patients. Decades of suffering could be reversed by a few pills. If you have a loved one with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s—TRY IT. The results could be LIFE-CHANGING.  Valerie Anne Smith’s Post

Marco Rubio Says Americans Will Soon Be Able to Apply for First Passport Entirely Online Through America.gov — “No Printing Forms, No Drugstore Hostage Photo, No Appointment, No Line”

For years, the federal government treated a basic American document like a scavenger hunt. Print the form. Drive to the drugstore. Sit under fluorescent lights for a “hostage photo.” Book an appointment. Stand in line. Hand a stack of paper to a middleman. Then wait.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just told the country that era is ending.

At Tuesday’s launch of President Trump’s new America.gov portal in Washington, Rubio announced that Americans will be able to apply for a first U.S. passport entirely online instead of burning a workday on a 1970s process. The goal, he said, is that by the end of 2027 most Americans can apply for a passport or passport card on America.gov, with real-time status and an estimated delivery date.

…According to Fox News, Rubio laid out the problem in plain English: if you need your first passport today, you start on the State Department site, “There’s a lot of information up there, but if you actually want to apply, that is where the maze starts.”

The Gateway Pundit previewed this exact fight last week. Citizens chasing a passport, a benefit, or a simple answer have been bounced from .gov to .gov like pinballs. Trump is flipping the model. The bureaucracy is being forced to serve the public.

President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday establishing America.gov as the “unified digital front door” of the federal government. The White House order is explicit: super intelligence used on the site must be accurate, reliable, and transparent. Trump said anyone who has used Grok, Gemini, or ChatGPT will understand the interface instantly.

This is not a press-release gimmick. The America.gov “coming soon” page already walks through a first-time passport flow: confirm identity, upload a photo from a phone or computer, pick a book or card, pay, and watch the application move — with a confirmation number and an estimated window.

Renewals were already moving online. The State Department opened online passport renewal in 2024 and has processed millions that way. The breakthrough Tuesday is first-time applicants…

On the delivery itself, he was just as blunt: new U.S. passports will no longer show up in beat-up postal envelopes. They will arrive in elegant gold-and-white packaging.

“For something as important and dignified as the U.S. passport, it will arrive the way you would expect it to.”

Supreme Court Allows Rapid Third-Country Deportations to Continue
September 29, 2026

SD: “The Supreme Court majority (6-3) has granted the DOJ request to put on hold a Boston-based US District Judge ruling that DHS policy to remove illegal aliens to so-called third countries is unlawful. The process of rapid deportation will continue while the matter is called before the Supreme Court for oral arguments in December (ruling in ’27).

comment image

[SOURCE LINK]

The three DEI Justices, Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan did not support the ruling. They would have denied the ability to deport illegal aliens to third-party countries.”

REUTERS – […] The Supreme Court previously sided with the administration in the legal challenge, suspending a preliminary order that Murphy issued earlier in the case halting the removals. In another win for the administration, the Supreme Court subsequently lifted limits the judge had imposed to protect a group of men from being sent to South Sudan.

The case began in 2025 after the Department of Homeland Security moved to step up deportations of migrants who cannot be returned to any country listed on their deportation orders.

The policy provided that migrants could be swiftly removed without notice to third countries that have provided credible diplomatic assurance that they will not persecute or torture the individuals. For countries that have not provided such assurance, deportees would be notified of their destination and US authorities would assess the likelihood of persecution or torture only if the individual raises such fear on their own.

Immigrant rights groups filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of a group of migrants seeking to prevent their removal to third countries without notice and a chance to assert the harms they could face.

In February, Murphy ruled that the policy violates immigration law procedures and due process protections under the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment. Due process generally requires the government to provide notice and an opportunity for a hearing before taking certain adverse actions.

In an emergency filing to the Supreme Court, the Justice Department said third-country deportations are “an essential tool to remove certain aliens, including some of the worst criminal aliens.”

But both Murphy and critics of the administration said the policy is also targeting migrants who had been granted legal protection from being sent back to their home countries.

Elon Musk just MIC DROPPED this reporter who was dooming about Super Intelligence

REPORTER: Not if they haven’t got a job!

ELON: Well, jobs have ALWAYS changed. A computer used to be a job: a building full of people doing calculations. I don’t think anyone is pining to go BACK and do calculations all day to do bank interest rates! We’ll see an EVOLUTION of roles. As the president mentioned, there is a tremendous demand for people [in SI]. The most likely outcome…is incredibly beneficial. It’s a future you would want. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f4af.svg

Trump and @ElonMusk are on the SAME PAGE on this

Areas like Europe, who lack the same SI infrastructure as the US, are going to fall behind and WISH they were up here with America

And China CERTAINLY wants all of the mass data center and SI advancement we are having.

America is winning the future at all costs, and the people will benefit!

Gail Combs

Some people have always protested against advancements and inventions.

LUDDITES

The Luddites, named after their legendary leader Ned Ludd, were workers who protested at the mechanization of the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. From 1811 to 1816, the violent strategy of the Luddites was to smash the machines they thought had taken or threatened their jobs, to burn down factories, and to attack the private property of factory owners.

The Mechanization of Industry

The textile industry was traditionally a cottage industry (aka the ‘domestic system’) where spinners and weavers worked in their own homes or in small workshops. They used simple, hand-powered machines such as the spinning wheel and handloom. Inventors and entrepreneurs were keen to increase production rates and lower the costs of textiles. This was achieved by creating machines that used water wheels or steam power that could do much more work than one individual could using more traditional methods. Machines like the spinning jenny (invented by James Hargreaves in 1764), the water frame (by Richard Arkwright in 1769), the spinning mule (by Samuel Compton in 1779), and the power loom (by Edmund Cartwright in 1785) greatly speeded up both the spinning of yarn and the weaving of cloth. The differences compared to hand-operated machines were enormous. A single spinning mule machine could have 1,320 spindles compared to the single spindle on a wooden spinning wheel. A factory or mill might have more than 60 such spinning machines while there were single factories using 1,000 of Arkwright’s weaving water frames…

“He happens to be a friend of mine. Kim Jong Un, he’s a friend of mine. He likes Trump.”

Or else Iran would have become the North Korea of the Middle East and the entire world would be threatened

Vice President JD Vance said in an interview that he and President Trump have ‘wargamed’ a plan to take control of the Senate floor in order to pass the SAVE America Act. Vance made the comment in an interview released Tuesday with Vince Coglianese.

The SAVE America Act ensures only American citizens decide American elections. It includes requiring valid identification before registering to vote in a federal election, proof of citizenship, and limits the use of mail-in ballots with exceptions for illness, disability, military service, or travel.

…In the interview, Vance said one scenario they have discussed is whether or not he has the authority to take over as chair and fire the Senate parliamentarian. He said he has the authority to do so, but then “four, five, maybe ten” Republicans would then vote with Democrats to overrule the new chair.

😡 😡 😡 They are named, in bold, below.

“There is no shortcut, I think our people want to think the parliamentarian is the problem … the parliamentarian is a bureaucrat … the problem is we have a number of Republican senators who vote more with Democrats than their own party, and that is the issue,” Vance declared.

He said if 50 GOP senators and the vice president stick together, they could fire the parliamentarian, get rid of the filibuster, pass the SAVE America Act, and more.

“The problem is not who’s in the chair, the problem is four or five Republicans who are going to stand with the Democrats. We have wargamed this to every detail and I wanted to do this a few months ago, and we ultimately decided it doesn’t make sense because it’s not going to go anywhere,” Vance explained.

He went on to add that he and President Trump have “obsessively” thought through how to get SAVE America passed. Vance then named the four Republicans who would vote with the Democrats to stop the legislation: Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Cornyn (R-TX), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).

“We’re interested in winning the battle and that means replacing mediocre Republican senators with good Republican senators,” Vance said…

Of those four senators, the only one who will remain in the Senate next year is Murkowski. Yet they are sabotaging the president’s agenda and the will of the people.

Update on David (Erin)

David was discharged from the hospital yesterday evening and is back at home. Praise God for His goodness and thank you all for interceding for us so faithfully.

David doesn’t expect to be active on social media for a while, but he appreciates all the encouraging comments you all have made. He’s extremely tired, which is expected until his heart has time to heal.

He has a follow up appointment with the cardiologist in two weeks and we should know more then about whether he will need another surgery and what rehab will look like.

David is extremely thankful for his family, friends, and for your prayers. I asked him if there was anything else he wanted you to know.

He said, “Jesus is real and I hope everyone comes to know Him.”

Trump is going to get Republicans slaughtered in the midterms. What the hell is he thinking?

They are going to cut off financial aid for some degrees. Using some dumbass calculus about how much money the professions make, as if all there is in the world is money. It appears Trump’s god is Mammon. Nothing that doesn’t make big money has any value.

Here’s a partial list:

The New Republic characterized the policy as cutting off students in low-paying fields from college loans. Its report said that social work, art, religious studies, music, teaching assistance and cosmetology could be among the degrees most heavily affected. It also cited concerns that some professions are socially valuable despite generally offering lower salaries.

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-addresses-plan-to-cut-student-loans-for-some-degrees-12500719

My granddaughter is CURRENTLY applying for financial aid for cosmetology school. It’s what she wants to do, and it pays very well, thank you very much. But it doesn’t pay big enough for Trump.

She doesn’t want to be a real estate tycoon, or a tech bro, Donald. She doesn’t want to STEM, as the stupid advertisement goes. She wasn’t born with a ten million dollar trust fund to start her life with like you were.

And I’m sure Melania does her own hair and nails. She probably dyes Trump’s hair and cuts it in the bathroom with a set of electric clippers. Who needs a cosmetologist, anyway?

This is HIGHLY discriminatory towards women, who are the most likely to seek that degree.

And RELIGIOUS STUDIES? REALLY? Well, who needs a pastor? We can just have an AI up on the screen at the church, and when grannie’s in the hospital, the AI can remote visit her on her iPad. Just like during Covid. Good times.

Oh, and I know you don’t like art or music, right Donald? I mean, what culture needs art? We should just look at computer screens. And music? Ha! Why, just listen to the hum of the latest data center, it’s so harmonious.

Trump has lost his mind. And I think he just lost my vote.

Aubergine

Oh, and before anybody says anything about the cost of a cosmetology degree, it’s very, very cheap in comparison to a four-year college degree in anything. My granddaughter’s ENTIRE school takes one year and costs $20,000. That includes a couple of thousand dollars worth of equipment and supplies that she takes with her when she’s done.

Trump wants to compare her earnings after graduating to some dude working as a day laborer with a high school diploma, and use that comparison to not give her financial aid.

This is one of the most stupid things I’ve ever seen in my life.

And the religious studies cut is beyond the pale. Most pastors don’t get rich in money, but they have more wealth than Donald Trump has ever had, or will ever have.

Gail Combs

Your grand will be able to earn a living IN HER FIELD. Those Harvard 4 yr degrees I listed are not useful outside of academia.

Why should those misguided kids get stuck with a loan (4 yr on campus is $120K) they can not easily repay as a Walmart cashier or Starbucks waitress?

Aubergine

Sure, she will. But she’s unlikely to make as much as quite a few other fields, which is the comparison Trump is using to cut federal aid money.

If her “field” doesn’t earn as much at the four-year mark as the high school grad, then it gets cut. And that will compare her earnings as a cosmetologist to a roustabout on an oil rig, an electrical lineworker, or a boilermaker, all things which my dainty, sweet little granddaughter couldn’t possibly do.

I’m over pretending that everything Trump does is smart. This is stupid.

You know, if Trump wants to do something intelligent here, he should cut student aid to degree programs based on the NUMBER OF JOBS AVAILABLE IN THE FIELD.

Instead of how much money they make, how about CAN THEY FIND A JOB when they graduate.

Example:

In 2025, the University of Montana alone graduated between 50 and 80 wildlife biologists. My oldest son’s longtime girlfriend has that degree; she hasn’t ever actually worked in it.

Why? Because:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are approximately 1,400 job openings projected each year, on average, for zoologists and wildlife biologists across the United States.

There aren’t enough wildlife biologist jobs to employ new graduates, that’s why. But they won’t cut federal student aid for that.

BUT:

“According to tracking from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are approximately 80,300 job openings available each year on average for barbers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists across the United States.”

TheseTruths

Newsweek and The New Republic are left-leaning. Why rely on them for your information?

The New Republic characterized the policy as cutting off students in low-paying fields from college loans. Its report said that social work, art, religious studies, music, teaching assistance and cosmetology could be among the degrees most heavily affected. It also cited concerns that some professions are socially valuable despite generally offering lower salaries.

“Could be” degrees “affected.” Not eliminated; affected, maybe. That is someone’s speculation, most likely to make people think the worst, and it in no way means loans for those degrees are being immediately eliminated or that they will ever be eliminated.

https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-issues-final-rule-hold-all-colleges-and-universities-accountable-low-earning-programs

Today [June 19, 2026], the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) announced a final rule establishing a long-overdue postsecondary education accountability framework. Under the new Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS) and Earnings Accountability rule, undergraduate programs will be required to demonstrate that their graduates earn more than the typical high school diploma holder…

Since you say your granddaughter’s profession earns a lot, it seems this would not affect her.

…and graduate programs will be required to demonstrate that their graduates earn more than the typical bachelor’s degree holder. 

If a program fails to show at least this modest financial return on investment for its graduates in two out of three consecutive award years, it will lose eligibility to participate in the federal Direct Loan program.

That’s probably three or four years down the road since I don’t think this takes effect until at least 2027, and then they have to follow the degree programs for several years.

More info at the link.

From the Newsweek article that you linked:

The Department of Education refuted a report that the Trump administration is seeking to ban students majoring in certain college degrees, insisting that a new rule will instead “[hold] colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled.”

“This is fake news at its finest,” the Department of Education wrote on X after The New Republic shared a July report that said students pursuing some lower-paying degrees could lose access to federal loans.

“First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs,” the department said, adding that it was seeking to prevent colleges from leaving students with heavy debts that do not translate into improved employment prospects.

So the administration refutes the left-leaning disinformation, but for some reason you are choosing to believe the negative spin.

IMO, this comment of yours is completely out of line with what is being reported, as well as the true intent of the policy:

My granddaughter is CURRENTLY applying for financial aid for cosmetology school. It’s what she wants to do, and it pays very well, thank you very much. But it doesn’t pay big enough for Trump. 

She doesn’t want to be a real estate tycoon, or a tech bro, Donald. She doesn’t want to STEM, as the stupid advertisement goes. She wasn’t born with a ten million dollar trust fund to start her life with like you were.

Thanks for doing the research.

From the look see I did years ago the Student Loan program was just another method for sucking money from tax payers.

IIRC the tuitions sky rocketed and the schools DID NOT HIRE INSTRUCTORS but instead hired over head people like the DEI coordinator and such.

I found this in my notes:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1106277311349841920.html
Larry Schweikart

…4) What if, unable for a variety of reasons to take on the Deep State in DC, Trump’s DOJ began to actually pull the rotten tree up at its roots—the colleges?

What if the coaching scandal was a dry run at undercutting the athletic $ that supports so many of these colleges?

5) Now comes the next hammer: the academic cheating element.

BTW, I am told by one of the few sources I have in Hollywood that the names you are seeing are small fry–but you won’t know most of the bigger fish. They are the financiers and talent guys, not the TV/movie stars.

6) I am told this will get much worse when this first wave of the Coastal Cheat Club begins to rat the others out!

7) This will, in turn, lead to more lawsuits such as the $45b suit we saw filed today.

Imagine 20 of these $45 billion suits!

8) I’m not exaggerating to say that such suits could lay waste to a good 20% of the university system in America.

9) Now comes the next scandal, the student loan scandal. Ever see the “Big Short?” The student loan bubble may well be seeing the same “repackaging” . . .

9) contd. . . . among the big lenders, that is, combining and re-combining toxic loans into other “instruments.”

10) This, conceivably, could take down another wave of not only banks but universities as well.

11) I would not have believed this until I saw how the banks . . .

11) contd . . . just ignored the toxic real estate assets until they couldn’t any more.

Either way, hold on to your hats for this: . . .

12) This whole student loan fiasco was the most evil, yet brilliant idea the left ever conceived.

They are, through these loans (that likely won’t be repaid), getting American taxpayers to subsidize the propagandizing of their own kids against them.

13) It’s straight out of Lenin saying the capitalists would sell the rope used to hang them.

14) Fortunately—but painfully—this may all explode before the gallows can be built.

15) And there is one other element of this that cannot be ignored.

16) Affirmative Action has been denying white and Asian kids spots in top schools for decades to allow in under-qualified minorities to meet the (non-acknowledged) quotas.

That essentially removed several of the lower rungs, forcing those kids to compete with the more affluent.

17) Now we learn the more affluent were chopping off other rungs by cheating. This has all the potential to (thankfully) backfire on affirmative action programs as well.

18) Just two months ago I said I saw no way the university system could be brought down short of . . .

18) contd . . . businesses finally accepting “degrees” or qualifications from life work?non accredited schools. That would take a long time.

19) Now, overnight a way has appeared to bring down the whole corrupt system.

20) We’ll see how many Sampsons pull on those pillars

Eisenhower warned of the Military-Industrial-Complex (in his Farewell Address), but he also warned about an Academia-Government-funding complex as well. There’s an interesting article at
https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/12/26/eisenhowers-less-famous-warning-government-controlled-science-12219
 
(Eisenhower’s Less Famous Warning: Government-Controlled Science)
 

A few times per year we have a meeting of the Trustees of the American Council on Science and Health, to discuss issues like finances, to discuss nominees for our Board of Scientific Advisors, and our general direction.

 

Among our Trustees is Fred Smith, the founder of Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), which promotes the benefits of free markets. I certainly agree with them on that. At our November meeting Fred asked for a spot on the agenda to talk about how we can better talk about science policy without getting into politics.

 

That is obviously tricky. Science is both corporate and political, when it comes to basic research the private sector and government fund about half each, so if you defend science you are implicitly defending corporations and engaging in politics.

 

It wasn’t always that way. Ernest Lawrence, whose name is now on both Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and Lawrence Livermore National Lab, ushered in the era of academic Big Science. He found that if you did what government wanted, they would throw money at you. And then you could use some of that money to do what you wanted. It really caught on after the Manhattan Project, which was the ultimate use of government guiding academic research to create applied science. People whose entire labs were funded with less than $20,000 per year saw Lawrence getting hundreds of thousands, and then millions, from Uncle Sam and the race was on: Government was firmly in the science business and academics wanted to be in business with politicians.

 

Not everyone was pleased by that. Most famous of the concerned about this new control of basic research by the government was President Dwight David Eisenhower – “Ike.” Ike was someone so concerned about keeping politics out of strategic resources he refused to vote while he was a military officer. To him, it was a conflict of interest because he was paid by the government. His concern only grew while he was president during the bulk of the 1950s and government took more and more control of science funding. As politicians funded more of it, he believed, academia was going to self-select for those who also believed in big government and it would no longer be non-partisan. And corporations were going to control academic science by controlling politicians. Academics who “play the game” were going to get more funding and head up grant committees and panels.

 

The concern about the growing “military-industrial complex” from Ike’s 1961 farewell address – most alarming because he was a career military man who won War World II in Europe before he became President partly thanks to the military-industrial complex – became part of the cultural lexicon. But less well known is his second warning, about manipulation of academia by political interests, which Fred discussed in 2011 and passed around at our meeting.

 

President Eisenhower surrounded himself with brilliant academics, he knew that science ended World War II without costing another million American lives, but by 1961 he also knew “we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”

 

He worried about that government control over funding would change the nature of the “free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery.” And it has. If you want to find happiness in academia, find a humanities professor at a small college. If you want to find pressure, go to a biology lab at Johns Hopkins, which needs $300 million a year from the NIH if it’s going to put up new buildings and recruit key names who can then raise more money from NIH.

 

…
 

And then it became that to be an academic you had to be a liberal because liberals are just smarter.

…
Lots more in that article. Eisenhower’s second warning is less known, but may very well be the exposure of the more dangerous of the two, especially considering the likes of Gore-Bull warming, COVIDIOCY, and whatever else the deep state have up their slithering sleeves…..

It has needed to be reformed for a very long time.

The Left will use anything and everything to turn people against Republicans (which always leads back to Pres. Trump) as the midterms draw near.

People affiliated with PDJT are encouraging young people to engage in trades rather than higher education, when appropriate.

This policy was restored by PDJT for working people:
Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness

In the Big Beautiful Bill, Pres. Trump is the one who delivered no tax on tips and overtime, increased the child tax credit, cut taxes for seniors, increased a deduction for small businesses, helped “American farmers, producers, and ranchers compete and sell products in foreign markets,” and many more policies that are beneficial to “the little guy.” 

#41 on that list is:

It reforms and streamlines the federal student loan program to drive down tuition costs and simplify repayment plans. This includes reasonable limits on amounts students can borrow.

That link leads to this (emphasis mine):

Committee on Education and Workforce Unveils Its Student Success and Taxpayer Savings Plan

The legislation saves over $330 billion to help advance President Trump’s agenda to provide tax relief for American families and small businesses, rein in wasteful spending, and reduce the federal budget deficit…

Pres. Trump has always been a champion of the people.

Cosmetology is a “trade.”

First off, I did not “rely” on left-leaning sources only. I read this all over the place, including what you posted above, which is the positive “spin.”

““First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs,””

True, they are not “banning” programs, they are CUTTING OFF FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS going into those programs.

SPIN. And I’m not falling for it.

I care about average people being able to get somewhere in their lives.

If Trump wants to do something about the problem with student financial aid, then he should turn it back on the universities, not on the students.

Gail Combs

I think these are more likely the target:

Harvard has degrees in:
African and African American Studies 

The Department offers students three paths of study within its concentration: the African Studies track, the African American Studies track, and the Afro-Latin American and Caribbean Studies track, each with its own set of requirements.

Folklore and Mythology

Folklore and Mythology is a liberal education in and of itself. The program encourages the study of any given society through its language and culture, offering an array of choices for drawing on a variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Concentrators conduct independent research on the material, oral, written, or performed forms of folklore and mythology in a variety of cultures, among them African, North and South American, Celtic, Chinese, English, German, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Scandinavian, and Slavic.

Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality

The study of gender and sexuality has long constituted a vibrant and engaging arena for interdisciplinary work and intellectual inquiry. At the heart of this field is the assertion that gender and sexuality are fundamental categories of social organization and power that are inseparable from race, ethnicity, class, nationality, and other categories of difference.

I read this yesterday:

Last week, Candace Owens devoted three straight episodes of her YouTube show to conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk‘s killing, suggesting a ‘decoy’ was used and floating the idea that Kirk wasn’t shot at all.

For what Candace is doing to Erika Kirk and Charlie’s parents and family, as well as what she has done to Brigitte Macron, she deserves whatever she gets.

Dearborn, Michigan, America, only 25 years after 9/11.

As an Iranian who suffered imprisonment under the ayatollahs occupying my beautiful country, I fight against this ideology not only to free Iran but also to preserve Western civilization.

Maybe you don’t understand the message this crowd is trying to send by displaying its power. But if you don’t, just know that our country, Persia, was conquered by this ideology. After our country was conquered, we no longer even had the right to practice our own culture and religion, Zoroastrianism. So we know their tactics of intimidation through displays of power. This is the first time they have done something like this, even in Dearborn. Know that the regime of the ayatollahs will fight America not only in the Persian Gulf but also through its Shia army inside the country.

Now there is a high chance that Michigan will have the first Muslim senator in the United States.

They are infiltrating politics everywhere in the world with the help of Muslims and also dark-red communists who believe they can change the system through so-called socialist politicians. It is naïve, because under an Islamic system everyone loses the most basic human rights.

Do you really think this crowd believes in equality between men and women?

As a Persian, I have warned many times about how our beloved Iran has suffered under this dangerous ideology. We are trying to save Iran from the ayatollahs. Please don’t let them change the Western countries.
