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

From OT:
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Confirms His Resignation – Will Be Leaving FBI in January
December 17, 2025
SD: “FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirms via his X account, that he will be leaving the FBI in January.
.
[SOURCE]
This announcement does not come as a surprise to those follow the details of corrupt systems closely and who have watched the scale of the problems surface through the years.
The problems within the FBI as an institution are systemic. Both Kash Patel and Dan Bongino faced a monumental challenge in trying to get their arms around the scale of the problem within the institution. There is no apple, only worms.
Any type of institutional confrontation at this scale can only succeed if the problems are first admitted. Bongino faced a big challenge with Director Patel refusing to accept institutional corruption was the biggest issue.
You cannot correct problems of great consequence until you admit the core of the problem. No admission was made. The problems remain.”
(more…)
That’s news to me.
Yeah. Not only is that statement about Patel not necessarily true – there is a lot of assumption going on here, as Dan did NOT say exactly why he’s leaving. It could even be multiple reasons.
After being reminded that Dan’s health may still be problematic, I would not be so quick as to assume there are not other very important reasons Dan is leaving.
Sundance could be right. But I myself would be very hesitant to make that call.
I agree. I don’t like seeing our side come to conclusions and create our own narratives that might or might not be true, or that might only partially be true, without evidence. The next steps after doing that are to ignore real evidence and/or to make it fit the created narrative.
Not long before Bongino left his podcast, he shared his morning health routine because people had been asking him about it. It was extensive and, IIRC, it involved what he ate, his workout, some kind of treatment for his back, and other things that seemed out of the norm but that he believed were beneficial to his health.
When he took the FBI job, my first thought was there goes that routine. I can’t imagine his being able to do it consistently as DDFBI. It also wouldn’t surprise me if the time away from his family has been bothering him.
If Bongino has concerns about what he saw in Washington, I hope he was able to communicate them to Pres. Trump. We will not know the real reasons he left unless he tells us, and it is within his rights to refrain from doing so.
I was hoping that, too.
The biggest problem that I see is the ability for POTUS to FIRE the Marxist embeds. Until SCOTUS finally rules that the administration is UNDER the EXECUTIVE (POTUS) & therefore separation of powers means he can FIRE AT WILL, cleaning things up is a futile exercise ESPECIALLY with the DC activist judges.
For Dan & Kash that must be a MAJOR frustration.
Yes – this. None of us know the legal entanglements remaining.
👍
And you are right. Too many assumshuns goin’ on.
Dan HIMSELF told us why he is leaving, long ago.
He gave us no other reason, so his original reason stands.
De Nile ain’t just another river in Egypt.
It seems like it was a mission in futility.
Maybe he saw that you either chip away at your ideals bit by bit or save your sanity and get out.
That seems like a good hypothesis.
“That’s news to me.”
__________
Agreed, that’s SD’s interpretation. Based on his long term position, I understand why that’s his interpretation, but there’s no way to prove it.
Based on all of Kash’s public comments that I have seen, it seems he’s either in complete denial of the degree of FIB corruption, or he understands how bad it is, and is trying to fix it, while not letting the public know the degree of corruption within the FIB.
I don’t think either one is good. The second would be better than the first, but it doesn’t matter what I think.
Fully believe Kash is working to fix, everything wrong that he finds.
It’s simply a massive problem. Dan I’m sure did the same. I assume he is bailing out of frustration, family and health.
Need more good guys on the inside.
Leveling FIB will not happen. So work on fixing it.
Fundamentally, I see the biggest problem as, NO ARRESTS.
If we can get arrests, that is a deterrent. I do believe we’ll see arrest soon. (Yea, not soon enough.)
I generally agree and hope you are right on arrests, but am not holding my breath.
My view is the FIB barrel of apples is spoiled and rotten at is core. My view is that it has been that way for many decades and has only been getting worse.
This is an area I am not in agreement with PDT. He views these corrupted agencies as American institutions that must be preserved. I view some, not all, as authorized enemies of state and We the People. All they have to do is be incompetent, much less criminal, for people and leaders to die or have their lives ruined by lawfare.That then creates what we have seen where we are one step removed from collapse as a nation.
But I concede my somewhat limited experiences with FIB may have tainted my view. i also concede that it may be a much longer process than anybody thought it would due to the extent of the DS and uniparty entrenchment.
I want to see the perp walks, convictions, imprisonments and executions live on TV. I doubt they happen because there is no evidence the will is there to do so. I desperately want to be proven wrong. Regardless, I will do my part (duty) no matter the outcome because who I really serve is a Holy God.
Until the corrupt judges are taken out, forget indictments.
Identifying, or ‘outing’, the endemic corruption of the judiciary (including the SC), of the legislature (both HoR and Senate), AND the executive branch, will trigger formidable Presidential powers to invoke the military.
IMO, that’s why it’s taking so long: it’s gotta be airtight, and BY THE LAW.
J Edgar exulted on collecting blackmail for leverage and power, and it continues with most all IAs today. It’s even worse now, with the cancer-corruption having been metastasized for many decades.
The swamp-creatures, even at the deepest level, are flailing about and in a panic, because they apprehend that their goose is being COOKED.
Often, evil destroys itself; one must expose it first, and let them demonstrate their tired playbook.
It’s all they know, and their playbook will serve as their epitaph.
I sure hope you are correct!
And I sure hope that Q (and the anons) are correct!
All-in…
You understand why Dan is leaving.
Yup.
Following is NOT addressed to TB.
Imagine if each cabinet member of Trump 2.0, (DOJ, FIB, HLS, HHS, IRS, DOE, DOT, EVERYONE of them), threw up their hands..
IF Quitting is acceptable, imagine if, Trump said, fuck it all, JD you got it. Going golfing.
We are in an existential fight for America.
NOTHING hard to see here.
Reality is, we will never shutdown AND replace DOJ, FIB…
Trump knows this. He picked his cabinet very deliberately. Tailored to the position. Trying to ensure ability, commitment and personal mettle (backbone), fits the task.
Just as I immediately took issue with Gaetz bailing for AG, snatching the “golden ring” talking head position.
I take issue with Dan bailing, short of health issues and family matters.
Slow Guy is perfectly happy, being in the outlier on these issues.
I have mixed feelings. I want fighters and leaders, but if you figure out you can’t stomach the job, move out of the way for someone who can.
Yupper.
Harry Callahan:
“A man’s got to know his limitations.”
It may be all for the best.
Besides, we can’t DO anything about it…
Exactly.
well there IS that…LOL
Good post.
We all fight on where we are. Some may be limited physically, emotionally or mentally in the fight.
We face all these battles and demons, nevertheless we press forward. The word is used over 150 times in the Bible. Jesus even used it in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion..
The outcome may not be assured, but our commitment to the command remains. I hope Bongino finds peace and also hope his withdrawal from the battle is not health related.
It never seemed the right fit from my perspective. Glad he tried, but I did not see the exec ability to swim with sharks. He’s more of a street fighter, in the field guy.
Spot on…entire post.
…as he juggles cleaning things up while being a leader of the agents. No leader consistently tears down his entire organization to the public.
Management 101
Praise in public. Criticize in private.
This explains what Kash Patel is doing. Will it work? I think he has showed some success already, but some likely failures, too.
If Q was correct, a lot of the rank and file are OK so you do not want to trash them.
The one I interacted with years ago when the Animal Rights types were turning my ponies loose, & tampering with the saddles was very nice.
Q specifically tagged “Kash Patel’ as someone to note for the future. It was the entirety of the post.
This was between 2018-20, IIRC. It may have been part of “the Plan” way back then.
FWIW…
“No leader consistently tears down his entire organization to the public.”

Kurt mentions this but he does not know the REASON it happened.
Here is the PROBLEM — REACTION — SOLUTION
OLD NOTES 2009
The WTO Agreement on Agriculture set-up the Problem. FOREIGN DISEASES
One of the ideas incorporated in the WTO AoA is
“The Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures…Aims to ensure that governments DO NOT USE QUARANTINE AND FOOD SAFETY REQUIREMENTS as Unjustified trade barriers… It provides Member countries with a right to implement traceability {NAIS} as an SPS measure.” — WTO
http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/sps_e/spsund_e.htm
The IPC (International Policy Council on Agriculture, Food and Trade) was created by the Agri-corporations in 1987 explicitly to push their agenda at the 1986—1994 Uruguay Round of Trade negotiations. Dan Amstutz, VP of Cargill, wrote the draft “Agreement on Ag.” and Robert Shapiro, chairman of Monsanto, was strategically placed as leader of the President’s Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations at the time to see that WTO was ratified by Congress in 1995.
👉The IPC wanted and got open borders and no quarantine. The result is that the USA exports 700,000 tons of quality beef while importing 1,500,000 tons from countries with: Naegleria fowler, Encephalitis, Vesicular Stomatitis virus, Leptospirosis, Trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), and foot and mouth disease.
RESULT
The US imports 2.5 million live cows from Canada with BSE (now found in USA) and from Mexico with tuberculosis (now found in USA), brucellosis (now found in USA) cattle tick fever, (now found in USA) Trypanosoma cruz (now found in USA), and Bluetongue (now found in USA).
Wide open borders, reduced disease surveillance, the closing of testing labs, slaughter vs first point (live herd) testing all seem to be designed to invite disease into the country and allow it a good foot-hold in wild and domesticated species. Is this good for American citizens or for corporations who will profit from the chemicals and medicines needed to fight imported diseases and pests? Is it good for corporations interested in replacing natural organisms with expensive “bioengineered” organisms?
Bovine Tuberculosis
This chart shows how USDA cut back TB testing after WTO was created in 1995. Note the significant drop in testing.
Summary of Tuberculosis Surveillance in California Cattle
Number of Cattle Tested
YEAR – Health Officials – Private Vet – Slaughter
1995 … 10,576 …………… 15,921 ….. 39
1996 ….. 5,100 …………… 17,100 ….. 58
1997 ….. 2,861 …………… 19,930 ….. 64
1998 ….. 3,530 …………… 18,189 ….. 39
1999 ….. 1,425 …………… 22,863 ….. 58

The USDA turned over cattle crossing facilities to private firms. The largest, accounting for 25% of the cattle imported from Mexico, is at Santa Teresa, NM, Chihuahuan cattle producers [Mexican] operate both sides of the cattle port-of-entry. — USDA publication
http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/Agoutlook/june2001/AO282d.pdf
Before 1995 cattle imported to the USA were quarantined and tested, in April 2001, the USDA published a “rule requiring Mexican feeder steers to originate from herds that had recently been tested [in MEXICO] for TB. The USDA then agreed to grant waivers to whole-herd testing.
What are the effects on Bovine TB of the USDA implementing the WTO/corporate policies?
“Effect April 1, 2002… Dr. Logan… said, the disease is extremely rare in U.S. herds. However, more TB-lesioned cattle are being detected at slaughter, and ear tags indicate that many of these animals are of Mexican origin.” — TAHC state of Texas
http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/news/pr/2002/302TBMx.pdf
In 2007 American herds in Oklahoma and New Mexico were found TB positive and the cattle slaughtered. Additionally, it is anticipated that both New Mexico and California will lose their TB “free” status in 2008. — TAHC state of Texas meetings minutes
http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/agency/meetings/minutes/Minutes_CommMtg_7-29-2008.pdf
Those policies played Russian roulette with American livestock and crops. In 2005 the tenth TB positive herd was identified.
http://www.lookercomm.com/NewsLetterModule/WUDheadlinenews.ht
More ominous is the report of 397 deer and two elk confirmed with disease in a five county area of Michigan.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Animal ID passes liability to farmers. HACCP-1996 allows corporations to control food testing. Government labs shut down, inspectors now inspect paperwork not food. Disease DOUBLED since 1996. ( “Shielding the Giant: USDA’s “Don’t Look, Don’t Know” Policy for Beef Inspection”)
Think the Food Safety Modernization Act is about safety? read: “Trojan Horse Law: The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 – Bader”
Similar “Legal” maneuvers saw millions of farmers driven off in India. Portugal lost 60% & Mexico 75%. High level EU meeting discussed driving a million Poles off their land. (The Battle to Save the Polish Countryside – Rose)
THAT was the set-up. We then had the e-coli outbreak at the NC State Fair helped along by a USDA vet (Animal Activist) Long story but I had a first person view of that mess. A petting farm of a friend was blamed. However that vet had stuck a thermometer up the butts of his animals the week before and his sheep and goat were the first ever to have that strain of BOVINE e-coli. Much later it came out that Con-Agra hamburger was contaminated with that e-coli due to poor slaughter practices.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
SOLUTION
The solution was THE FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT that the democrats had been trying to get passed for years. It was ALSO regulations that put most of the small slaughter houses out of business. Here in easter NC there are only three left. One has a months long waiting time. The second is a Muslim who STEALS the best cuts. (my calculations show a lost of about 10%) and another small slaughter house that caters to the Muslim community (Iman on premises for Halal slaughtering.) There prices have over doubled and I can no longer get ground meat.
I do remember the regulations in NC changing but I can not find any articles on the subject except these:
How Slaughterhouses Work:
2015 — Regulating backyard slaughter: Strategies and gaps in municipal livestock ordinances
I buy a lot of beef, and the skyrocketing prices only happened about 2-3 years ago. So why now?
The fertilizer costs TRIPLED after Biden put in place the Russian sanctions according to my Hay supplier.
This means the cost of hay went thru the roof as did the cost of corn.
Before Biden we paid $35/round bale. It is now $60 LINK and that is if you can even get it. We normally buy ~ 500 square bales for the winter. We got 100 sq bales of CRAP hay this fall and he only has 150 left to sell @ $7.50. In SC it is $6 Link We used to pay $3.50 a sq. bale.
Feed corn was $7/ 50 lb and is now over $11.
These costs are why I am selling of several of my ponies.

WOW, they finally admit it!!!

how disingenuous…a “blunder” yeah right. they pretend to be stupid instead of calculating.
AND only now are they fessing up.
my SIL raises cattle for sale but he also butchers for the family. When he takes them to auction, the buyers are always complaining they have a harder and harder time trying to get “an appointment” with the meat processing plant–the larger herd owners are given preference and driving more cattle people to give up raising them. When there were more independent processors, they could find a spot…not any more.
Not to mention the additional regs mean the costs are passed on.
yup!
Ukraine. Sanctions against Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine, ~four years ago.
Read it here QTree. Likely from Gail and others.
Maggot’s wrecking crew creating sanctions without considering, second or third order of effects.
Or they did, and knowing moved to massively increase cost of beef…

J.D. Vance:
This is just brilliant. J.D. just picked up a dropped light saber and cut off the head of the DEI Medusa.
Now we see what the communists did. Just WOW.
Those racist bastards. Fuck ’em.
This is the real story about WHY Hollywood turned so horrible.
Trump did the RIGHT THING squashing DEI like a bug. And it needs to be squashed again, just to make sure it’s DEAD. FOREVER.
And the commies KNEW IT. That’s why they didn’t fight back when Trump killed DEI – and only tried to oppose it by sneakery. They knew people like me would want them to HANG for this shit. Better to go silent than make it a fight, and people like this explain what really happened.
They didn’t just betray white men – they betrayed the very hope for a workplace without discrimination. They made a mirror image of the “old white guy” network.
Now, so many workplaces have turned from old boy’s clubs into old girl’s clubs – and it’s just the same old shit.
I’m so pissed.
Well said and true.
“…Now, so many workplaces have turned from old boy’s clubs into old girl’s club…”
It is even worse than that. By making COLOR and GENDER the ALL IMPORTANT hiring criteria you get CRAPY workers who KNOW they can scream RACIST if you dare to criticize their slovenly work habits and ethics.
Think Boeing Aircraft failing…
It’s just racism, sexism and ageism – discrimination. The leftists just painted it as only whites can do that and stupid white liberal people bought the propaganda.
identifying worker and work product through those lenses is immoral and illegal in some situations Which makes PDT and JD chopping its fugly head off all the more satisfying.
Do your own thing. Band together and go independent. Do anything but support these evil systems and companies.
Right!
White people can and should START things. When is the last time people started a university? Why don’t we do that anymore?
Money and an enormous burden of regulations. Not to mention political/ideological opposition these days.
EXACTLY!
I had to give up my petting farm because of NEW REGULATIONS and a royal bitch of a USDA agent.
TO meet her requirements would have cost me ~ 1/2 MILLION in fencing alone. (TWO 6 ft chain link fences around 100ac. at $15 to $40+ per linear foot installed.)
Thanks to the racing industry ponies are not regulated…. YET.
They can. It takes other people to buy in including successful business people.
There’s one in Knoxville that started that way – South College.
https://www.south.edu
It started in 1882 as Knoxville Business College. My wife attended back in the late 60’s. It had one to two year programs just for secretarial and business. Located in a small building downtown with a couple hundred students. Kind of stumbled along until 2001, when it was bought by Steve South who renamed it to South College. Knew the guy BIMD. He had the vision and business acumen. He found a couple local guys to invest with him when he bought KBC for next to nothing and grew it because there were no serious competitors to it for students from low to middle income homes. He kept working with the state to help with accreditation, student aid, and so on.
He kept moving it to larger buildings as enrollment grew.
He then got the former owner of Goody’s Family Clothing involved. When they sold out their business he leased their former huge national distribution center and moved the school there and retrofitted it. Boom. It has done nothing but expand and is in 8 states now with campuses, online, etc. They even offer some Doctorate degrees.
Cool!
We need to start making “old boys clubs” great again. New institutions with new rules.
I don’t give a shit how the left howls, we need to do what we want. White people in America are a large majority. Sane white women are, too, but we are drowned out by the crazy ones on the left.
Let them squeal, but let’s make being a white guy ok again.
AMEN!!!
(What was that book… “I’m OK, You’re NOT”? :lol:)…..
“In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men.”
______________
You don’t say.
They really had me fooled… 🙄
LOL!!! OH NOES – SCOTT WAS FOOLEDED! 😂
““The femaleness is striking,” a well-known Gen-X reporter with impeccable liberal bona fides confided. “It’s like, wow, where have the guys gone?”
In less than a decade, the entire face of the industry changed. The New York Times newsroom has gone from 57 percent male and 78 percent white in 2015 to 46 percent male and 66 percent white in 2024.
Condé Nast today is just 35 percent male and 60 percent white. BuzzFeed, a media operation that had been 52 percent male and 75 percent white in 2014, was just 36 percent male and 52 percent white by 2023.
But nothing explains the New Media story quite like Vox, whose explainers dominated 2010s discourse and whose internal demographics capture the decade’s professional shift. Back in 2013, when Ezra Klein came under fire for his start-up’s lack of diversity, Vox Media was 82 percent male and 88 percent white.
By 2022 the company was just 37 percent male and 59 percent white, and by 2025 leadership was 73 percent female.
The demographic shift reshaped not only who told the stories, but which stories got told.”

I’m shocked. Who would ever have guessed?

It is so refreshing to see an ALPHA male who doesn’t bow to Commie Schiff.

Just. So. YES.
I keep saying – Democrats identify with drug dealers. Their affections belong to the people they buy drugs from – NOT the fellow users who died, who they don’t want to think about.
The left only values human life they can use somehow.
Q said there are only three things that politicians care about:
1. YOUR MONEY
2. YOUR VOTE
3. YOUR [blank]
Can you guess what the third one is? Q left it for us to fill in.
I think I know what it is…
It’s freedom. We have it, but they want to take it.
It’s quite ghoulish …
3. ***YOUR BODY***
Organs / Body-parts, and DNA.
In their final post, Q said that “There is a war on for your DNA.’
And, “Protect your DNA.”
Any ideas why?
The cabal is infatuated with bloodlines and family trees / lineage – many royal families practice inbreeding, to keep their genes pure, and unadulterated by ‘lesser’ blood.
Also, by gathering massive collection of millions / billions of individuals’ DNA, they can not only identify lineage (“long-lost cousin”), but also find FRAUDS who pretend kinship.
And lastly, compatible DNA would provide organ (et al.) matches for longer life, willing or no from the “donor”.
Q hinted that humanity’s DNA is somehow degraded, decreasing our natural lifespan, perhaps.
In any event, mapping ALL the DNA of our species (and others’) would be the ultimate bio-identifier, no escape.
They truly are trying to play God. IMO, we aren’t meant for eternal life … but that seems to be what the cabal wishes for themselves.
It’ll end up as a curse – perhaps THE curse!
My suspicions, of course.
Thanks for the ideas, sounds about right.
Or just to throw in a little sci-fi, after a major die off caused by ???, they clone the desirable types and repopulate the world.
Nothing could surprise me at this point so..sci-fi as valid as any other
Very interesting.
You can’t. Sorry.
If “they” want it, they have it. I’m pretty sure it’s been collected on every baby born in a hospital forever.
But even if not, or you somehow avoided it, I have read that so many people have done some kind of ancestry DNA testing now that they have the DNA of at least a near-relation to almost everyone on the planet.
That horse has left the barn.
You’re right – I don’t see how it can be avoided, and a few stragglers won’t matter much, or for long.
Those ‘ancestry’ sites are just like FakeBook (a.k.a. ‘Lifelog’ of AIC creation) a honeypot for people to voluntarily forfeit their own data/info/DNA.
And of course, a major ancestry (23 and Me?) company went belly-up, so the “privacy” they promised customers is out the window. Oops!
I don’t like the apparent trajectory of ‘Big Data’, at all, at all.
Depending on how far out they would like to take it, having massive data about various races could let some mad scientist create disease that would be harder on some than others? Maybe in the evil empire world?
Yes, that too.
Gene-specific targeting, ethnic ‘cleansing’ with off-the-charts precision.

Learn about the history and debate surrounding how we describe Latinx and Hispanic peoples, and consider the relationship between language and identity.
It is VERY TELLING showing the hand of the Marxists.

So what makes THEM special instead of say Germans?
So after getting the first step accomplished they went on to the second. CHANGING THE LANGUAGE to further divide people.
However they BETRAY the fact it is NOT ORGANIC BUT TAUGHT!!!
So these kids are TAUGHT to NOT ASSIMILATE into the American culture!!!
Too bad this language guy isn’t still with us. He drove ’em nuts during the S.F. State University riots in ’68.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._I._Hayakawa
He was GREAT!
He pushed to make ENGLISH the official language of the USA.
To think that there was a need to even have to legislate that… although a couple of centuries ago there was a vote that almost (IIRC) made German the official language (may have just been for Pennsylvania)… just think, we could have had three genders way back then 😀
AND from the accent the reporter was Hispanic.
A furious journalist!?!?
When was the last time anybody saw one of those?
If we had many more of them, we might actually get somewhere.
Possibly the memo hasn’t circulated yet that contrary to the usual mass shooting events, especially at a school, that outrage and high expectation from LE is at odds with the Liberal DEI apparatus. Epic failure is a bit hard to defend . Interesting that it’s so confusing to the press that they’ve abandoned the side hustle of yelling about gun control. Speaking of that aren’t we missing the expected activists from Brown marching and screaming about it?
Could it be that the victims are on their hate list so why bother?
During the ‘Farm Wars’ they got beat up, threatened, weeded out and sidelined.
Yep… usually they’re just spurious…

No commentary from the talking 🤡’s.
The comments are fascinating but horrifying. Best suggestion for the unvaxxed is self-donation prior to surgery.

It’s the accidents that scare me. No choice, unless a new kind of blood bank is developed.
I wonder if the spike is in plasma as well as whole blood.
Was just going to raise plasma was a potential option.
After clotting, spike and other abnormalities were identified, Pure Blood Banks were suggested.
I wonder if Pure Blood Banks have been established.
For the ELITE of course.
Need to check it out BEFORE surgery! I had hip replacement a couple of years ago and my hemoglobin dropped post op. They wanted to give me blood transfusion and I DECLINED.
Thanks for that information!
The only way to get spike protein blood out of the blood supply is to test every single blood donor, at the time of donation.
You certainly can’t rely on the honor system, and if the test takes longer than a few minutes, i.e., if people basically need to leave and come back a few hours later or the next day, they would need to do another test.
Because plenty of psychos would take the test and then go get a Covid shot before returning, just to pollute the blood supply.
And now we know how they are going to get rid of the 14 out of 15…

Thank you.
The doctor is correct.
CONTAMINATING THE BLOOD OF “VACCINATED” PERSONS WAS, AND IS, ONE OF THE MAIN DESIGN GOALS OF THE COVID-19 “VACCINES.”
AND, WAS ONE OF THE MAIN DESIGN GOALS OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS ITSELF.
What Dr. Marble says ALSO confirms the results of the Yale LISTEN study — the spike protein of the COVID-19 “vaccines” is active in the “vaccinated” person’s body for up to 709 days post-injection — IF NOT LONGER. This ALSO applies to EACH injection of a COVID-19 “vaccine” that a person gets — in other words, the “operational clock” of the spike protein is RESET each time a person gets another injection.
In practical terms, what this means is that if “Person A” gets a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection on, say, 1 January, then takes ANOTHER injection on, say, 30 November of the same year (taking the “latest version booster shot”) — the “operational clock” of the spike protein from the JANUARY shot is STILL working in that person’s body, but is now RESET by the NOVEMBER shot — to ANOTHER 709 day (at least) spike protein “operational clock.”

JUST IN: House Passes Bill to Prosecute Doctors and Parents for Sex Changes for Children with Three Democrats Joining Republicans but FOUR Republicans Voting Against – Trans Rep. Tim McBride Freaks Out Ahead of Vote (VIDEO)
The bill, authored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), makes it criminal to “knowingly perform, or attempt to perform, genital or bodily mutilation on another person who is a minor” with penalties of up to ten years in prison. It further protects minors from chemical castration or hormonal treatments.
Parents who facilitate, consent to, or transport the minor to receive sex change surgeries could also be charged.
This codifies President Trump’s January “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” Executive Order, which restricts sex-change procedures for minors by cutting federal funding to institutions that practice the satanic procedures.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” the order reads.
Greene gave a speech during a debate on the House Floor earlier,
“Today, the house is delivering on what the American people voted for, the opportunity to vote to end the genital mutilation of children via transgender treatments for children,” Greene said, noting that her bill is a “direct legislative reflection of President Trump’s executive order and every single Republican’s campaign promise in 2024.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/just-house-passes-bill-prosecute-doctors-parents-sex/
Well at least she is trying to do something useful.
Does this also apply to extreme female child genital mutilation typically practiced in certain parts of north Africa, many who have congregated in Minnesota?
Hope so.
👍 good question
It should be cleared stated, included in the bill.

There are lots of people that share her perspective; my neighbor is one. I do not happens to agree with my neighbor, but he is not an unreasonable man. My perspective is that the President’s invoking of the Monroe Doctrine is something that was long overdue. Let the Old World be in charge of their affairs. The Americas can deal with their problems. I see no need for a unipolar world which everyone assumes is the responsibility of the US to defend. Flexing American muscle in our hemisphere is legitimate. Like it or not, the US is the big brother in the Americas.

They’ve gone mad.
Like a modern day witch hunt, and they don’t realize they’re caught up in it, so it just seems like the normal or ‘right’ thing to do, that’s how it appears from the outside.
Mostly because I can’t process how they could do such a thing knowingly, without being caught up in some kind of mass psychosis, and even pretend to be civilized human beings.
Either that, or the government is a complete criminal mafia, running a total Orwellian control psy-op on the public, which is so evil and anti-human it makes Hitler look rational by comparison, in which case we should declare war with Britain yesterday.
Germany and France are no better, we just don’t see the same amount of coverage of those countries, probably due in part to the language and cultural barriers.
But the UK is gone. Completely mad, or completely evil.
Insane, or Nazis.
Either way, if I was Trump, I would cut all ties at the earliest opportunity, and let them crash and burn.
They’re in a runaway psychological death spiral.
This will be in my Am Stories at the end of the month. In the early 1800’s in POTUS Jefferson’s first term he called our own government and leadership a “reign of witches”, which is why he called the start of his first term the “revolution of 1800”.
With some of our founders still identifying and tied to the Crown (Federalists), how else could it be? TJ and the Jeffersonian Republicans made the move away. Average Brits have to stop being subjects and start being citizens who rule over their scumbucket politicians and royalty. Their reign of witches needs to end and be burned at the stake.
Cut ties. Tell them they are on their own and to call us when and if they get their acts together.
These will be excellent reads. Looking forqard to them.
“…Insane, or Nazis…”

Wow good overview of this. Sad that students had to be part of the most revealing DEI failure scenario. It’s heinous that 2 died.
Every official present at this presser seemed inept and generally bored by the interest in facts and progress of the investigation.
It’s weird for all of those people to be that incompetent and at the same time not realize how it looks. That’s why people are suspicious, but they don’t seem able to comprehend that. It looks like a group of people who are covering something up in mutual agreement, or who are under orders from some higher-up to do so. I wish a whistleblower would come forward.

This is straight out of the Twilight Zone.
Apparently there is a substance called DMT. I’ve never heard of it before, but apparently it’s a kind of psychedelic drug that doesn’t make you loopy, so you can remain mentally alert.
What people are doing, apparently serious people, is they are setting up a regular store bought laser, like a laser level that you should be able to get at any hardware store, and shining it on a wall, and then putting some kind of refractive material between the laser and the wall, to make the laser beam on the wall wider, maybe an inch or more wide, as opposed to the usual fine line.
Then they take this psychedelic drug called DMT, and then they look into the widened / refracted laser light on the wall. Not at the surface, but into the laser light, like looking through a window at what lies beyond, instead of focusing on the surface of the window glass.
And when they do this, what they see are numbers and symbols, and they’re static, so if you move, the numbers and symbols remain in place. Like they’re frozen in a three dimensional space, inside the laser beam. And if you move the laser up or down on the wall, the numbers and symbols don’t move with the light, instead other symbols and numbers become visible, as the laser light is moved higher or lower on the wall.
If I understand somewhat correctly, they think it has something to do with a collapsed wave function as it relates to quantum mechanics (or physics), like we only ‘see’ reality as we experience it, as we “look” at something, it manifests.
They think what the DMT does is interrupt that process, so that the quantum wave doesn’t collapse, so they see it in an un-collapsed state.
Sort of like Schrodinger’s box, where the cat is both alive and dead at the same time.
I wouldn’t have even wasted time on it, except I have seen the Shawn Ryan show before, and I recognize the guest here, Chase Hughes.
It’s a trip.
I’m checking other videos on the subject, but this seems like as good of an introduction as any:

My doctor tries that “Symptom Deficit” thing on me all the time. She just makes shit up. “Make sure you’re taking vitamins,” or “be sure to monitor your water intake,” or some dumbass thing. My favorite so far is “we offer vitamin C infusions that you could take in winter. Many people benefit!”
I just look at her, bored, until she stops. Then I say, “see you next year for blood work.”
I’m pretty sure she hates me.
you’re not a gullible cash cow.
For me it was statins and blood pressure medicine. 🙄
I rather eat KCl and curb the NaCl.
I’ve known a couple of doctors who did vitamin C infusions, but it was always because the patient had a condition that high doses of vitamin C were thought to treat. It was not recommended to random healthy people.
Supposedly, it helps you stay healthy during cold and flu season, but I do that anyway.
Wow. Oh, WOW!
Betcha Trump 2.0 is working that monumental investment in America.

ironic, right?
Unreal! fraudsters in Minnesota are still getting federal funds–even AFTER they are caught frauding another system. For example, if they were caught in the Feed Children scheme? they use that money to buy homes and claim they are adult day care centers–getting almost a million a year for a home with only 4 bedrooms.
article
A Minnesota lawmaker alleged on Dec. 17 that a man awaiting trial on federal charges that he laundered $1.1 million in taxpayer dollars and his wife continue to collect payments from other government programs, a state lawmaker said Dec. 17.
That’s concerning, state Rep. Kristin Robbins told the fraud-fighting committee that she chairs.
“This is just one example of how potential fraudulent activity is being allowed to continue in Minnesota,” she said during a hearing at the state Capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota. Later, she alleged on social media that the state government “continued to pay a fraudster who was indicted.”
With the help of whistleblowers, a public-records researcher uncovered an intertwined web of people and entities allegedly tied to the man. Those connections are still receiving taxpayer dollars for assisted-living facilities and adult day services despite multiple “red flags” indicating possible fraud, Robbins said.
These revelations show that state agencies are failing to employ “the most basic checks and balances” to prevent and detect fraud despite state agencies promising reforms, Robbins told fellow members of the Fraud Prevention and State Agency Policy Committee.
The committee—five Republicans and three Democrats—has met regularly since February, trying to get a handle on the state’s burgeoning fraud scandals. In recent weeks, Minnesota fraud cases have drawn national attention and multiple federal investigations. The scandals mostly involve federal programs that state programs administer, with matching state contributions in some instances.
The defendant, whom Robbins dubbed Person One, allegedly received $49 million from state-run programs from 2019 to 2024 on top of the $1.1 million he is accused of laundering, she said.
He is among 78 people charged since 2022 in the Feeding Our Future (FOF) scandal. Fraudsters connected to that now-defunct nonprofit agency reaped a total of nearly $250 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program after falsely claiming to provide 91 million meals to needy children.
Robbins alleged that Person One “changed his name months before he was indicted” for FOF, and used his new name to purchase two homes that are operating as an assisted-living facility that receives government money.
One of those homes, Robbins alleged, was bought under the same business name tied to alleged money laundering in the FOF case.
“It is unbelievable,” she said.
A chart that Minnesota Rep. Kristin Robbins presented at a hearing shows how an indicted fraud suspect is allegedly tied to other people, businesses, and taxpayer-funded government programs.
What’s more, Robbins said, the defendant’s wife “just recently purchased a fourth home” that will become part of an assisted-living facility that she operates—and for which she was granted a temporary license in September.
Homes that the accused man purchased or owned were still enrolled in state programs as recently as this October, Robbins said, noting that the wife has run the sites for two years after her husband’s FOF indictment.
One of the assisted-living facilities that Person One administers has four beds. “Despite this limited capacity,” the facility was paid $826,000 in 2024 and was “on pace to double that” this year, Robbins said.
“We need to be concerned about that,” she said, adding, “This home was purchased with cash, which is a red flag because there’s a lot of money laundering going on in these spaces.”
Minnesota law allows the state to stop government program payments based on “credible allegations of fraud,” Robbins said. “And, my friends, if someone has been indicted in Feeding Our Future, that’s a credible allegation of fraud, and they should not be getting state money for any other program.”
Robbins urged state agency leaders: “At a minimum, any business with ties to Feeding Our Future indictments should receive higher scrutiny,” especially if involved parties are also seeking money from other government programs.
“Any business owner should be checked to see if the owner has a history of other violations,” she said.
State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican, speaks at a committee meeting in St. Paul, Minn., on Dec. 17, 2025.
State agency officials who testified at the hearing included Dr. Brooke Cunningham, the state health commissioner. She testified about the “large and growing” assisted-living industry, acknowledging a “need for oversight.”
But Cunningham noted that health care professionals who are involved in licensing and on-site reviews do not process billing claims. Therefore, they would not be privy to financial matters.
However, Cunningham said those staffers do pass along any concerns they notice “to our partners who do handle the billing for those services and who do investigate any sort of criminal activity.”
James Clark, inspector general for the Department of Human Services, said the department is putting a two-year “pause” on licensing new adult day centers.
“We’re shifting staff … so that they can squarely focus on existing adult day businesses,” he said.
Thus, he said, they can be more vigilant for signs of fraud.
In addition, he said, “we are aggressively suspending payments” whenever investigators are seriously concerned about fraud.
“I am sick of Medicaid fraud. I want to shut off payments to any provider that is stealing from us,” Clark said, adding that he would welcome information from the committee.
Robbins replied that the committee has not shared whistleblowers’ disclosures with Clark’s office because “this fraud has been perpetuated on your watch,” and the whistleblowers insist on confidentiality. They report being “terrified,” Robbins said, because many of them allege they were subjected to retaliation or surveillance when they previously tried to sound alarms about fraud.
Committee members interviewed whistleblowers and relayed information to federal prosecutors, the FBI, and the Office of Legislative Auditor, all of whom have access to bank, health, and payment records that legislators cannot obtain, Robbins said.
Robbins also said the Department of Human Services so far has responded to only one of her recent requests for data; six such requests remain unfulfilled.
The Epoch Times sought a response from Clark’s office and received no reply prior to publication.

Ground report. My stepmother lives in a senior independent/assisted living complex in the Minneapolis area. They employ MANY Somalis, all very nice people. But starting with “protect our employees”, they set up an elaborate system of phone numbers to call if ice is spotted or even to call 911. The administration has now whipped up fear of ice to the point that many of these semi-confused seniors are fearful ice will break into the building and kidnap THEM (the seniors). It’s insane!
That’s sad that some of them are scared.
My father wasn’t far gone senile but he was completely confused about the upside down way the Dems were protecting thugs and criminals. If he was still alive now he would be shocked
that’s TERRIBLE!!!
From Hubby: The guy was working on magnetic confinement fusion.
Nuno Loureiro: MIT professor from Portugal shot at home dies, police say
Well, that adds a dimension to consider.
Hmmmm. Considering that the leftard greens and pantyfa would stop at nothing in order to further their agenda….. and would kill all the rest of us, too…
AND Boston is very Marxist…
I read today that there may be some connection between the Brown shooting and this guy’s murder. That was coming from LE. But it wasn’t spelled out what the connection was.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, December 18, 2025
✟
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR ISAIAH 7
Ahaz is threatened by Israel and Syria; and is assured their attack would be in vain. (1-9) God gives a sure sign by the promise of the long-expected Messiah. (10-16) The folly and sin of seeking relief from Assyria are reproved. (17-25)
10-16 Secret disaffection to God is often disguised with the colour of respect to him; and those who are resolved that they will not trust God, yet pretend they will not tempt him. The prophet reproved Ahaz and his court, for the little value they had for Divine revelation. Nothing is more grievous to God than distrust, but the unbelief of man shall not make the promise of God of no effect; the Lord himself shall give a sign. How great soever your distress and danger, of you the Messiah is to be born, and you cannot be destroyed while that blessing is in you. It shall be brought to pass in a glorious manner; and the strongest consolations in time of trouble are derived from Christ, our relation to him, our interest in him, our expectations of him and from him. He would grow up like other children, by the use of the diet of those countries; but he would, unlike other children, uniformly refuse the evil and choose the good. And although his birth would be by the power of the Holy Ghost, yet he should not be fed with angels’ food. Then follows a sign of the speedy destruction of the princes, now a terror to Judah. “Before this child,” so it may be read; “this child which I have now in my arms,” (Shear-jashub, the prophet’s own son, ver. #3|,) shall be three or four years older, these enemies’ forces shall be forsaken of both their kings. The prophecy is so solemn, the sign is so marked, as given by God himself after Ahaz rejected the offer, that it must have raised hopes far beyond what the present occasion suggested. And, if the prospect of the coming of the Divine Saviour was a never-failing support to the hopes of ancient believers, what cause have we to be thankful that the Word was made flesh! May we trust in and love Him, and copy his example.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
ONE DAY, SOMEDAY
Have you been abandoned and left alone
Is the pain so unbearable you’re thrown
It comes not from the body or the head
It comes spiritually inside instead
One day, someday you’ll discover that He
Will reveal more than imagined to be
Quit waiting for man to make it alright
Quit sitting on your bum get in the fight
Armor up daily and please pray pray pray
There really is no other possible way
We fight an enemy fierce and unseen
An enemy in plain sight ever been
Blind to the peril under which we survive
Unable to progress or even thrive
Twas not what God wanted or even planned
This surreptitious slavery under man
Some have claimed God could really care less
Despite her gifts ‘Merica is a mess
Look at what we accepted without a peep
How did we manage to get in so deep
The web the enemy cleverly weaved
Has cause devastation so bereaved
We’ve lost what we valued so dear to our hearts
Broken to pieces and left without parts
When will God move as He promised of old
When will He free us from bondage foretold
When will the fruits of the wicked be torn
When will our nation be no more forlorn
Someday soon you will see His Almighty Hand
Spread worldwide over the sky sea and land
The Trumpet will sound everyone will hear
There’ll be joy everywhere not a single tear

Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your roundup today includes: Trump speed-runs address that tackles affordability, prices, and nearly everything you can think of in 20 great primetime minutes; the House actually passes a terrific MTG bill, and even though it’s probably going nowhere, it tees up all the right issues; a defiant Fani Willis is back in the news, her long, difficult post-Trump period only beginning to spice up; feds ramp pressure on Fulton County election officials to cough up 2020 ballot records; and Pfizer shares drop, again, as revenues drop, again, and the drugmaker flails around to find a new vaccine somewhere in its fat folds.

I put in into the 400+ comments! Don’t know if I will see any replies.
Thank you.
With luck Jeff will see it and give it more exposure.
I have the Substack app on my phone and I now know that it notifies me when someone comments or likes my comment. Two likes and one commented that he had forgotten about Biden’s “green” bullshit.
Oh good!

Another day, another case where migrants stole millions of tax dollars that are supposed to help Americans.
$7 million in food stamps!!Apparently, they traded snap benefits for cash, sometimes pulling in upwards of $500,000 per month.
The scammers are Antonio Bonheur and Saul Alisme, both migrants from Haiti
According to the DOJ indictment, their criminal activities included:
Apparently, this is what one of their “stores” looked like:

😡 😡 😡
It’s infuriating. Scam after scam millions and millions but we’re scrimping and trying to stay on budget ….no free money being tossed to Americans
I was wondering when MA fraud would surface, after MN fraud went national!
MA *is* being investigated for (at first!) public housing discrimination – not to mention the Gov Healey minion caught with 4 lbs of Coke!
There are many other issues – stay tuned!
We are escapees from the Peoples Republic of Taxechusetts. Even 30 years ago the Communists were up front and in your face.
Yesterday or the day before, someone raised the question of which voices in the Conservative movement can be trusted. I mentioned that I trusted Mark Steyn, a Canadian-born man who now lives in New Hampshire. I don’t even know if he has become an American citizen. He has written many books and was a newspaper columnist for many years in England, Canada, and other places. He has a club for membership that has most of his work gathered in one place. As part of that club, every Wednesday Mark does a Q & A wherein club members email questions on whatever topic (usually events of the day) which he answers. I am not a member of the club but he does make the recording available to those interested. I have taken advantage of the opportunity and regularly listen to his comments. I have included a link to yesterday’s recording below this comment to those who may be inclined to listen. The recordings usually last about 70-80 minutes which I consider worth the time. His answers are often quite in-depth and he makes no apologies for his views. I have found him to be a reasonable, thoughtful commentator. I am sure some of you remember him as a guest host for Rush Limbaugh’s show during the final years of Rush’s life.
https://www.steynonline.com/15831/nothing-works-anymore
I like Mark and agree. He is worth listening too although I have not for several years…SIGHHhhh.
He’s a great voice. Wasn’t he the victim of some kind of lawfare by the left? I recall it was some huge injustice.
Sued by Mikey Mann about Climate Change. Dragged on forever. Very much LAWFARE!
The suit is still active. I think it is in its 13th or 14th year. Everyone knows how difficult law suits become when they hit their teenage years; can’t do anything with them.
YIKES!!!
Yes it is apparently on appeal by Mann who was judged to owe Steyn and other parties damages. Steyn lost the original case (in a DC court after more than a decade of delays) but won something of a victory on appeal which to this day has not been paid.
IIRC Mann refused to turn over any evidence.
Fun break from Catturd. 😂 😂 😂
This is so cool and cute!!! This cat is pretty good natured but it looks like they are totally enjoying the kittens 🐈⬛ running and swarming all over them. Very sweet 🤗❤️
Those puppy tails were wagging too and that made me think they’ve played with kitty before. Aunt Kitty is a great puppysitter. hehe
A bit of clarification on Venezuela from Badlands Substack.
From the Russian Times:
Trump Issues Oil Demand to Venezuela
Love it. Another justification to shake their tree and kick the criminals out.
Yup. And watch the Demmunists defend Venezuela!
AND it gets even more interesting,,, so it is worth the read at Badlands Substack.
This just some of the info.
IIRC, Venezuelan oil is very, VERY heavy crude, and only the USA has facilities that can process it… so Maduro is in a double- or triple-bind…
Walking the Way
When the ledger of our days is closed
And heaven’s quiet light exposed,
Will we look back with steady joy
On how we spent our brief employ?
Did we follow Christ, heart sincere,
Or wander far in doubt and fear?
I think we’ll sigh, and rightly so –
Our walk was shaky, weak, and slow.
We loved the world a bit too well,
And often in its shadows fell.
Yet grace invites us, kind and free,
To live the life we’re meant to see:
To pray, not ceasing, night and day,
And cast on God each care away;
To love our neighbor as our own,
And forgive by mercy we were shown;
To seek God’s kingdom and right ways,
Trusting He’ll add our needed days;
To lift our cross and follow near,
Denying self without a fear;
To let our light shine bright and clear,
That others see and God revere;
To store up treasure not on earth,
But heaven’s riches of true worth;
To speak the truth in gentle love,
And fix our eyes on things above.
For when we walk where Jesus trod,
Along the narrow paths of God,
A deeper peace will fill our soul,
A quiet joy will make us whole.
So turn today, begin anew –
The Savior waits to walk with you.
These changes, small and daily made,
Will lead us home through light and shade.
Then face to face with God’s dear Son,
To hear His words “Welcome. Well done.”
Amen!

Breaking NEWS: HHS Terminates Major Grants to the AAPand for good reason
This is important to understand.
A massive DECOUPLING is already happening.
Most people can’t see it.
Panicans constantly complain about the $38 trillion debt and the trillion dollar interest payment on that debt.
These complainers, will tell you that it’s not sustainable and everything is going to crash and burn.
Then why hasn’t it?
Why are we seeing instead, a rapidly growing economy, inflation coming in way lower than expected and real wages quickly rising?
How is that even possible?
Do you know what the projected GDP number is for the year?
3.5%
How is that possible, considering the fact that we are drowning in debt and government spending is out of control? The massive printing of money, should be driving inflation higher. That’s what the panicans keep telling people.
But the exact opposite is happening.
Why?
There’s a good answer.
Trump is BANKRUPTING the “system.”
The entire corrupt “system,” not just the financial system, but the corrupt government system too.
While at the same time, he’s making the American people wealthier.
A DECOUPLING.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told us exactly what was coming from the beginning.
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that despite the success of Wall Street in recent years, the Trump administration believes it is Main Street’s turn to lead the economy.”
https://
foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-
agenda-focused-main-street-restoring-american-dream-bessent-says
Can you see what Trump is doing?
He’s DECOUPLING the American people from the “Federal Reserve/government DEBT.”
It’s not the debt burden of the American people.
Almost all of that debt has been created by corrupt bankers, the politicians they controlled and the CIA/shadow government, that kept us purposely in a constant state of war, as they stole taxpayers money.
Not to mention all the government programs that are all full of fraud.
That debt does not belong to the American people and Trump is going to make sure we don’t get stuck paying it back.
Trump is maxing out the “government credit card” by giving the people massive tax cuts.
That’s less money for the government and more for the people.
The people are getting to keep their money.
Trump is going to make the FED eat that government debt and it’s already happening.
The government will no longer get to pick the winners and losers in the economy by handing out taxpayers money to their favored cronies.
Instead, the people will choose the winners and losers by deciding how best to spend their own money.
Main Street is now going to prosper, not Wall Street or the government.
“Confirming President Trump’s triumphant comments last night, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said this week that an increase in Americans’ tax refunds would enable the United States to “go back to the kind of economy that we had.”
While speaking to Fox Business, Bessent said that “substantial refunds” are coming to Americans after they submit their taxes in the first quarter.
“They will get an increase in real incomes. So I am very optimistic for working Americans, for job growth, for capital formation,” the secretary said.”
“Later in the interview, the secretary said that after larger increases in tax refunds, some workers will be able to keep “more of their paychecks” and predicted the United States would “go back to the kind of non-inflationary growth where working Americans do better than supervised workers.”
He added that the government shutdown that lasted for a month and a half “was a hit to GDP [and] slowed things down.”
“We’re still going to finish the year probably [with] 3.5 percent GDP growth, which is incredible,” he said.
Regarding inflation, which has been relatively elevated since the COVID-19 pandemic years, Bessent forecast a “substantial drop” in prices during the first six months of 2026, adding that “rents are down” due to a drop in mass illegal immigration.
“President Trump, by enforcing the border, sending home more than 2 million illegals, we’re now seeing … rents coming down substantially,” he said.”
I saw this explanation yesterday, from a youtoober called British HODL. ‘HODL’ is the term for ‘holding’ or as some call it ‘hoddling’ Bitcoin. He also holds MicroStrategy stock (ticker symbol MSTR, Michael Saylor’s company, which now has 671,000+ Bitcoin).
I have watched his videos for at least a couple years now. He doesn’t post everyday, just when he has something relevant that he wants to talk about.
He started out in real estate with his family in the UK. Then he was heavy into the precious metals for some number of years, and then he started with Bitcoin in the early stages. But he didn’t completely understand the asset and treated it like gambling, and sold all of his Bitcoin for a decent profit, but if he had held it all… thousands and thousands of Bitcoin…
But he’s doing fine, he got back in, in plenty of time, just not at the extremely low prices (compared to now) when he got out the first time.
He says there are new banking rules coming into effect (January 1st, I think), which is going to have the same effect as quantitative easing, without relying on Jerome Powell to lower the interest rates.
So basically, it sounds like DJT isn’t waiting until May to put in a new Fed chair to reduce rates, he’s going to free the banks to expand their balance sheets now (i.e., early January), flooding the system with new liquidity, so the financial system isn’t completely held hostage by the enemy Federal Reserve, until Kevin Hassett (or whomever) gets in, in May of 2026.
Edit: Forgot to include a language warning, his sign-off at the end always includes an F-bomb.
.
I’m quite relieved to have a few more data-points from this article, especially in re that the $38T US debt is NOT the responsibility of We The People.
VSGPDJT is causing / overseeing the BANKRUPTCY of the USA Corporation – or something extremely similar.
I’ve mentioned at least once or twice that the [CB] actually *owns* that debt, partially at first and wholly on the end.
The interest rate is their cut, their income; and the Roth’s are so cash-strapped (compared to the past) that ol’ Jerome is hanging on to the ludicrous ~5% figure to preserve their take.
I’m certain that the complexity is well beyond my financial ken, yet there are various nuggets of info I’ve gleaned which all point to a pattern.
This news-piece is welcome (partial) substantiation of the big financial picture coming (slowly) into focus.
Imma gonna read the article again!!! 🙂

Trump Isn’t Building a Ballroom
The Drey Dossier
Dec 15, 2025
When Trump announced a $300 million ballroom at the White House, something went off in my brain. The pattern recognition part started tingling. Ninety thousand square feet, $300 million, underground construction at a secure government facility. I had heard about something like this before. Something with those exact specifications, that scale, that price point.
It took me a minute to place it, but then I remembered: Oracle’s underground data centers in Jerusalem. Built in 2021 for Israeli military intelligence. Nine stories into bedrock, designed to survive missile strikes, built to house AI systems that make life-and-death decisions in real time. Ninety thousand square feet. $319 million. Nearly identical specs to what Trump just announced.
That’s the moment I started digging.
Digging In… Jerusalem?
I’d first learned about those Jerusalem bunkers months earlier while researching Larry Ellison’s relationship with Israel and Oracle’s involvement in the war in Gaza. The facilities weren’t typical corporate server farms. They were built for what’s called data sovereignty – a physical location where Israel’s most sensitive military and intelligence data could exist under complete government control, protected from both digital and physical attacks. When you’re running classified military operations and operating AI systems in active conflict, you can’t have that infrastructure vulnerable to destruction. So they built it nine stories down into solid bedrock, 160 feet below the surface, completely invisible to satellites. You know, normal light reading.
I’d filed that information away at the time, not sure what to make of it. But when Trump’s ballroom announcement came through with those matching specifications, I knew I needed to look deeper. Because when you see that kind of pattern match, you have to ask: is this actually about a ballroom?
So I started with the most basic question: who’s building this thing?
The Contractor
The lead contractor is Clark Construction. I went to their website to see what they normally build, and their “Critical Facilities” portfolio immediately caught my attention: the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Campus, CISA Cybersecurity Headquarters, USCENTCOM Headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base. These aren’t ordinary buildings. These are top-secret intelligence campuses and military command centers.
But what’s listed publicly is only part of the story. I started digging through government contract databases, and that’s when I found them. Six separate contracts for data centers where even the client names are redacted. Just listed as “Confidential Client Data Center 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.” The facilities themselves are so classified that acknowledging who they’re built for would compromise national security.
So building classified data centers for clients they legally cannot name is actually Clark Construction’s specialty. And they have the contractual mechanisms to hide what they’re building – they hold a NAVFAC contract with a $950 million ceiling where the total value is public but individual task orders can be classified. Which means you can effectively hide the true cost and scope of specific projects by funneling them through pre-existing military construction contracts.
The Firing
Then on December 4th, something happened that made the picture even clearer. Trump fired his original architect. James McCrery, who designs beautiful churches and the Supreme Court gift shop (say what you want about the guy, but he’s got range), was replaced with someone named Shalom Baranes. When I looked into who Baranes is, I understood immediately what had changed.
McCrery Architects, New Carmel, Wyoming
After September 11th, when the Pentagon needed to be rebuilt and hardened against future attacks, they hired Shalom Baranes. This man designed the Pentagon’s post-9/11 hardening project – the secure wedges, the SCIFs, the bomb-resistant architecture. His entire portfolio is federal facilities requiring classified spaces and hardened infrastructure. And Trump hired him after demolition had already started, after the East Wing was already gone. The aesthetics had stopped mattering. You don’t replace your church architect with the Pentagon’s bunker guy because you want prettier chandeliers.
At this point I wanted to see what was actually happening on the ground. If this were really a data center, there would be physical evidence. And data centers need one thing above all else: massive amounts of power.
DC’s Power-grid
So I started looking at what’s been happening with DC’s power infrastructure, and that’s where the timeline becomes impossible to ignore. In August and September 2025, just weeks after Trump announced the ballroom in July, Pepco filed emergency requests for major infrastructure work near the East Wing. They’re not making incremental improvements. They’re replacing 45-year-old power feeders and increasing power capacity in this area by five times. Five hundred percent.
Here’s what makes that absurd: downtown DC office occupancy has been declining since COVID. Buildings sit half-empty. Commercial real estate demand has shrunk. Power demand in this area should be flat or declining. But Trump announces a ballroom in July, and by August, emergency filings go in to increase power capacity by 500 percent. Downtown DC is half-empty, but apparently we need five times the power for a dance floor.
During this same period, DC Water increased capital spending by $300 million with specific focus on the Federal Triangle area. The Washington Aqueduct – run by the Army Corps of Engineers – issued warnings that “data centers are planning to use Potomac River water for cooling.” They’re explicitly acknowledging that data center development is driving new infrastructure demands. The GSA Central Heating and Cooling Plant completed upgrades including industrial-scale cooling towers and magnetic bearing chillers designed for cooling infrastructure that generates tremendous heat.
All of this infrastructure work, happening in the immediate aftermath of the ballroom announcement, in the specific geographical area surrounding it.
The Donor List
Then I started looking at who’s actually paying for this thing. The project is being privately funded, which means no congressional appropriations, no budget hearings, no public scrutiny. We have a partial donor list, though most dollar amounts remain undisclosed. And when I started going through that list, I realized I was looking at it wrong. I shouldn’t be looking for dollar amounts. I should be looking at what these companies actually do.
My anatomy of a ‘ballroom’ diagram to show the flow of operations (if my thesis is correct)
Carrier Corporation is donating HVAC systems. But Carrier has a division called Carrier Quantum Leap – their data center solutions offering “comprehensive energy efficient solutions for data center thermal management.” Are they donating a basic ballroom AC system, or their specialized data center cooling infrastructure?
Paolo Tiramani from Boxabl is on the list; which I find to be curious. Boxabl makes foldable prefab buildings, marketed for disaster relief. But they’ve also sent over 150 units to Guantanamo Bay, they work on Class 5 military installations, and their units come pre-installed with Faraday caging – electromagnetic shielding needed for SCIFs. And Oracle’s own documentation for their Jerusalem facilities describes using modular construction techniques for rapid deployment underground.
Then there’s Caterpillar, which makes industrial generators providing over 100 megawatts of backup power. Union Pacific, which owns 14,000 miles of classified fiber optic cables serving as the Department of Defense’s secure telecommunications backbone. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Palantir. Booz Allen Hamilton, which builds classified networks for intelligence agencies. Blackstone, installing over 200 megawatts of backup power infrastructure.
And you know what’s not on this list? Baccarat crystal, Versace, Hermès, Tiffany, or Steinway. The luxury brands that would murder their competitors to be associated with White House state dinners. None of them are here.
What we have instead: classified telecommunications networks, data center cooling systems, electromagnetically shielded rooms, and 100-megawatt generators. Classic ballroom essentials.
Don’t Worry, The Military Is On It
In October 2025, Trump said something that should have made every journalist in America ask harder questions: “We’re also working with the military on it because they want to make sure everything is perfect. And the military is very much involved in this.”
The military is very much involved in this ballroom. Which makes perfect sense if you think about it, because if there’s one thing the Pentagon is known for, it’s their expertise in party planning and floral arrangements. Or maybe the military doesn’t typically get involved in ballroom design. Maybe they get involved when you’re building classified facilities and survivable operations infrastructure.
Here’s what I think is actually happening.
Six months before this construction began, on Trump’s first full day back in office, Larry Ellison stood next to Trump and Sam Altman at the White House to announce Project Stargate – a $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative for government operations, defense, intelligence, and consolidating federal data across agencies. That infrastructure needs somewhere to physically exist.
What Now?
Israel’s underground data centers in Jerusalem were built for Project Nimbus, their government cloud infrastructure. The AI systems currently being used in Gaza – the targeting systems, the surveillance infrastructure, the operational decision-making – run on that underground network specifically because it was designed to continue functioning regardless of what happens above ground. That’s not backup infrastructure. That’s where the actual work of government happens, protected from both digital and physical threats.
And this has to be at the White House specifically because location determines oversight. When infrastructure is part of the Executive Office of the President, when it exists at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it can be classified under executive privilege. The East Wing sits directly above the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, the bunker where Dick Cheney sheltered during September 11th. By demolishing the entire East Wing, you create space to expand that existing secure facility, integrate new infrastructure, go deeper underground. All protected by the classification that covers anything related to presidential security.
The ballroom might not be the lie, exactly. But it’s definitely not the project. It’s the explanation that makes everything underneath acceptable, the public-facing story that sounds presidential enough that the real questions don’t get asked until the construction is complete and the decisions are irreversible.
That should concern us regardless of what you think about any particular administration, because the precedent being set here is about what can be built, where it can be built, and how much the public is entitled to know about infrastructure that will determine how government functions for decades to come.

If this is true, and it may be, it explains a lot.
I lack the technical skills to even venture a guess if this is true or not, hoping others can provide yea or nay enlightenment.
but like any good conspiracy theory–it makes sense on some levels.
With diabolical bad guys we’re up against 24/7 maybe a good idea.
Excellent sleuthing on the author’s part, and excellent digging on your part to find and post it!!!
It makes perfect sense – we cannot wait for companies like hulking Boeing, delaying yet again til 2028 the new AF1.
So, VSGPDJT takes matters into his (our) own hands, to build a state-of-the-art Command-and-Control nexus for what’s to come.
The ballroom is a nice touch, the cherry on top of the sundae below.
The author’s research / receipts seem genuine to me, and especially well put together to frame his hypothesis.
It’s just the sort of thing PDJT would do – jump ahead of the game, and sidestep any stinkin’ regulations by constructing on WH property.
It’s fantastic news, and I would vote a hearty “Yea!”
Cheers!
I don’t believe $319 million would be enough (in governmentland) to even break ground for a two story parking garage 😂
$319 isn’t even enough to cover the commission of the defense contractor’s brother-in-law who is the company’s salesman.
In 2025, $319 million probably only buys 100 CIA hammers and 50 CIA toilet seats.
since it’s all donated…could that be the “cost” and not necessarily the “public” price? and let’s face it…$319 sounds reasonable for a ballroom, doesn’t it? forget what the magician doesn’t want you to see hidden beneath…LOLOLOL
I haven’t a clue.
It’s just a number!
I wouldn’t get stuck on it – the *ballroom* will likely cost that $319M alone.
The rest? Classified!
Beat me to it. $319M if for the ballroom sitting on top of the rest of it.
Annndddd …. what’s the problem here?
I don’t know enough about data centers and all of this.
do you? does this seem like a probable explanation of what might be going on?
Possibly related, from this morning.
Global Chaos Unleashed to Stop Trump’s Economic Reset
(2 hour discussion)
“The empire is unleashing coordinated chaos on every front to stop Trump’s economic reset.
Tonight, President Trump delivers a primetime address on his accomplishments. But the media won’t tell you why the British imperial system is responding with simultaneous attacks across every battlefield.
New Terrorists attacks in Australia and the Middle East. Fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Attacks on Trump’s cabinet members. The assault on banking, health, and beef cartels.
These aren’t separate crises—they’re coordinated responses to the one thing that can destroy their control system: Trump’s economic reset.”

EVENING PRAYERS
A Night-time Prayer to Quiet Anxious Thoughts (Psalm 71)
Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” When you lay down to sleep and anxiety has a chokehold on your heart and mind, run to Jesus.
“Father God, I am anxious tonight and struggle to fall asleep. Rescue me, Lord, and deliver me. You are my fortress, my strong refuge, to which I can always go. You are my hope and my confidence. Be near to me and come quickly to help me. Comfort me once again. I praise You for Your faithfulness, God. You have redeemed me, and I will always have hope.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
A Night-time Prayer for Loved Ones (Psalm 112)
We want the best for our family and friends, and it is natural to worry about those we love. But anxiety won’t help them, and we have a direct line to Someone who can change their lives. When you can’t sleep at night because of your concerns for loved ones, take your worries to Jesus, who loves them even more than You do.
” Tonight Lord, bless ________, Lord, with joy and peace. Teach them to love Your Word and find delight in serving You. Guide them and give them the strength and courage to live a life of generosity and justice and compassion. Make their heart steadfast and secure, free of fear and trusting only in You. I pray for ______ in the name of Jesus, that they would see their need for You and know Your love for them. Help me to find sweet rest and peace tonight trusting in your sovereign care.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

holy smokes…it just keeps getting worse!
On Walz”s watch….right. That’s the successful Dem program of stealing from The People.
I shudder to think about what would have happened if Dems had cheated Walz and Commala into the White House! 😱 None of the corruption that is being discovered would have been revealed, and it would have multiplied.
yes !
One step removed from collapse.
