American Stories.  (A series)

The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.

It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.

This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

Chiefio has been writing on gold and silver pretty frequently.  Had not noticed him doing so, in the past.

Gold & Silver: My biased POV

So these 2 markets are very frothy right now…

Fair Disclosure: I have about 10% to 15% of my net worth in gold and silver. A relatively normal level of “hedging the currency and inflation rate” holding. I’d have done much better over the last year with a higher level of holdings in precious metals. But I’ve done OK.

Realize that metals markets are very VOLATILE and can move against you, by a lot, in a single day. In my opinion, their best use is as a very long term hedge against buggery of the currency (that is almost guaranteed if history is any guide. The $US today is worth about 1 ¢ on the $ of what it was on the gold standard (when I was working in my parent’s restaurant and we had real silver money…)

Pentagon’s New Boat Strike – Takeaway Is Clear: Want to Live? Stop Running Dope

The Pentagon announced that the US military conducted another lethal strike on a boat in the eastern Pacific suspected of transporting illegal narcotics, killing four men and intensifying scrutiny over the legality of such attacks. The announcement came as senior military officials briefed Congress about a previous 2 September incident in which a second strike was launched against two survivors after an initial attack.

This and related investigations have netted 75 guilty pleas.  Surely, some are singing like a canary.  Implicating others AND how the fraudulent scheme worked.   

Minnesota Democrats, Including Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, Allegedly Pocketed Tens of Thousands from Massive Somali Welfare Fraud Scheme

Several high-profile Minnesota Democrats have been linked to campaign donations totaling over $53,000 from individuals involved in the Somalian scams, one of the largest welfare fraud scandals in U.S. history.

The Minnesota Somali community’s scheme centered around the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, siphoned off approximately $250 million in federal taxpayer funds intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic, but were instead used for luxury purchases like mansions and high-end shopping sprees.

The total fraud, including state payments, may reach $1 billion.

There is currently a federal investigation that has already indicted 75 people, with more than half pleading guilty to charges including wire fraud and bribery.

According to a report from the New York Post, as Minnesota’s top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Keith Ellison received $10,000 from businessmen linked to the scandal. This included three $2,500 donations on the same day following a 2021 meeting with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants.

Trump Issues Explosive Warning to Europe — Warns of ‘Civilizational Erasure’ Unless It Stops Mass Migration

The Trump administration is warning Europe that it faces “civilizational erasure” unless it gets its act together.

The U.S. National Security Strategy says that while Europe is facing economic issues, these are “eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure” within the coming decades.

Also included are reprimands about censorship and attacks on freedom of speech, with many countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom actively criminalizing their citizens for criticizing progressive ideas.

“The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence,” reads the document, which is 33 pages long.

Wish the worst for the Seditious Six

“The Seditious Six” Face New Legal Challenges — Massive MONEY LAUNDERING Allegations Emerge

Recently, six lawmakers caused an uproar and prepared a video that implied that soldiers should not follow orders. They carefully put a spin on the Uniform Code of Military Justice in such a way as to imply Sedition.

Each line in the video is alternately delivered by Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Jason Crow of Colorado.

These six have now acquired the moniker of “Seditious Six”

It now appears that the six lawmakers have been found to have been heavily involved in money laundering. Investigative Reporter/Citizen Journalist, Bob Cushman, has just released an FEC data analysis that strongly suggests that Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, and Maggie Goodlander have been recipients of illegally laundered campaign funds.

In the initial investigation, Cushman cites 22 Smurf examples that have “allegedly” contributed almost three million dollars in more than 95,000 separate donations to Democratic coffers.

All six members of the Seditious Six have received funds from one or more of these “smurfs”.

BREAKING: EU Globalist Gangsters Fine X $140 Million for Maintaining Free Speech, Further Straining Relations With US

The globalist technocratic authoritarians in Brussels just hit Elon Musk’s X with a €120 million ($140 million), the first blood drawn under their Digital Services Act.

This isn’t about “transparency”—it’s an unabashed power grab to muzzle what is perhaps the most influential social platform that still lets normal people speak.

EU paper-pushers whined that X’s paid blue-check system “confuses” users about who’s verified. In other words, they’re furious that anyone who can pay $8 can now get the same badge the old regime used to hand out only to approved regime journalists.

EU globalists complain that X won’t open its data firehose wide enough for their taxpayer-funded, regime-aligned ‘researchers.’ Everyone knows these “experts” are just left-liberal activists looking for new excuses to de-platform patriots, populists, nationalists, conservatives, and really anyone who has the nerve to go against the regime.

Democrat Colorado Governor Affirms He Will Not Move Tina Peters to Federal Custody

Colorado’s governor will not allow Tina Peters to be moved from Colorado State to Federal custody per a request from the Trump Administration. 

Tina Peters was sentenced to prison in Colorado for doing her job after the 2020 Election.  She maintained records from the 2020 Election, and when she identified discrepancies in results before and after an election system update, she was imprisoned for 9 years.

It was Peters state and federal duty to maintain accurate records.  This is what she did, and the corrupt actors in the state of Colorado imprisoned her for it.

local Colorado publication reported this week:

The office of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis affirmed this week a decision by state prison officials not to fulfill a request by the Trump administration to transfer custody of Tina Peters from the state to federal authorities.

Peters, the former Republican Mesa County clerk, is serving a 9-year prison sentence for her role in a scheme to breach the security of her own election equipment. President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded that she be released.

The director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons sent a letter to the Colorado Department of Corrections last month requesting that the state “initiate the transfer” of Peters to the bureau.

“Requests to transfer inmates from the Colorado Department of Corrections emanate from the state, and not from other entities. The state has not made any requests to transfer this inmate,” Shelby Wieman, a Polis spokesperson, said in a text to Newsline.

Indiana still jiggering around redistricting.  Looks like Trump needs to weigh in more.

Indiana House sets up a showdown between Trump and Republican state senators over redistricting

The Indiana House on Friday approved a new congressional map designed to hand Republicans all nine of the state’s US House seats, setting the stage for a showdown in the state Senate.

At least 10 senators publicly oppose a mid-decade overhaul of the state’s congressional boundaries, and Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray previously insisted he doesn’t have enough votes to pass them. But the state House on Friday passed the boundaries anyway by a vote of 57-41, with 12 Republicans joining all Democrats in voting no.

That puts the onus on Bray and Republican holdouts in a fight that could be critical for next year’s midterms.

President Donald Trump and his allies have ramped up the political pressure on those who oppose or are undecided on redistricting, threatening to back primary opponents even though many senators aren’t up for reelection until 2028. At the same time, senators holding out have received bomb threats and swatting attempts.

Tracking states’ unprecedented redistricting efforts

President Donald Trump and Republicans have launched an unprecedented effort this year to redraw state congressional maps to help protect the party’s narrow majority in the House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Democrats have responded with redistricting efforts of their own, setting off a series of fights across the country — including in the courts — which will shape the midterm landscape and help determine control of Congress.

NEW: Caught on a pool camera before President Trump’s trilateral peace deal signing,

@repdarrellissa is overheard discussing CA-40 redistricting, seeming to suggest

@RepYoungKim should not run against Rep.  @KenCalvert . “Ken [Calvert] has nowhere else to go. She [Young Kim] does have a hard seat she could go to, and I know the administration would look favorably if she would do that. And then if she doesn’t win, you know, she could go to the administration for two years. With Ken, we need him exactly where he is, and most of this district is or has been his. If anyone else had a claim for it, it’d be me.” Issa was reportedly considering a congressional run in Texas following Prop 50, but told Fox News Thursday he plans to run in California.

Even IF Cry’n Chuck AND hukeem shutdown the government, again.

No more Obamination Care.  Last I heard Trump was working an alternative plan.  Perhaps it was sending money to citizens, rather than health insurance companies. 

I can’t get over this. Dems passed a failing healthcare law along party lines, then set up “emergency” and “temporary” COVID subsidies to bail it out. And now they’re demanding Republicans extend this unaccountable, fraud-riddled mess for three more years, paid for by us. NO.

Comer Nails It.

Slow Guy is incredibly thankful, the dirtbag Somali’s are aggressive AND inept crooks, stealing tax dollars.

Dumb ass Somali’s are 100% on Trump’s radar. 

IF citizens, strip citizenship.  IF on Green Card, revoke it AND ship them all to Somalia.  Prosecute any and all, including accomplices.  NGOs, anybody?  Federal state and local government employees. 

I THANK THE SOMALIS: For their boldness in committing fraud, the in-your-face ignoring of our laws, and for a complete unwillingness to practice civilized behavior. They have inspired a complete review and reset of US support systems. via @rantinglydotcomhttp://Rantingly.com

Like Pete, knives remain out for Kash.

1,000% false and did not happen. And I’d like to give some BTS insight into how this hogwash got printed. I got this allegation on Tuesday. It sounded made up and I told the reporter so. I went and checked with everyone involved – Alexis (who doesn’t even drink), the Director, the Detail, and more – all of whom said it didn’t happen. Couldn’t find any corroboration or record of it whatsoever. I went back to the reporter and said “everyone involved says this is false – can you give me any other info so I can provide some proof beyond just a denial? A date? Name of the friend? Anything.” Their response was: “We do not have that info but are comfortable with our sourcing.”

Just announce a new variable tariff.

Whatever amount of fines levied by foreign governments against any U.S. company will be 100% offset by new additional tariffs against that government, in whatever amount is required to pay the fine on behalf of the targeted company.

So when foreign countries announce new fines, they will effectively be fining themselves, in whatever amount they decide they owe 😁

Democrat Colorado Governor Affirms He Will Not Move Tina Peters to Federal Custody

Knew he wouldn’t.

TPTB in the COrnhole state know, just like everybody else knows, that as soon as Tina Peters is transferred to a federal prison, she can be released by the Trump administration.

I’m also certain that the CO perpetrators are very afraid that Tina Peters might be interviewed without their knowledge, so that the CO perps would then all be at risk of federal prosecution.

Trump is making them sweat. He is the master of the downside. He knew they would say no. But he also knew that they are picking the option which makes them worry the most.

scott467

“It was Peters state and federal duty to maintain accurate records. This is what she did, and the corrupt actors in the state of Colorado imprisoned her for it.”

Send in the FIB and U.S. Marshals to arrest and prosecute everyone involved — from the governor to the state A.G. to the prosecutor to the judge to the warden to the prison guards — for kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Tina Peters is literally a hostage of a lawless criminal gang.

Send in whatever the equivalent is of a Federal SWAT team to bust her out and effect a rescue, no different than they would do in any other hostage situation.
