“This Post Will Destroy Every Fake MAGA Patriot and Intel-Asset Infiltrator on This Platform”
Some of you demand play-by-play updates while President Trump dismantles the most powerful, satanic, and demonic cabal in human history, a cabal literally run by the agents of satan himself. You want Trump to livestream the battle plan to save humanity like it’s a reality show.
You want him to post his moves in real-time… while the Cabal’s intelligence networks watch every keystroke.
You want him to hand over the Super Bowl playbook for humanity to the very demons we’re fighting, because your feelings told you, you deserve it?NEWSFLASH:
You don’t deserve the playbook in real time if you didn’t sign up to deploy it.
You deserve the results.
You deserve a free country.
You deserve food that’s not poisoned for profit.
You deserve fair & free elections.
You deserve justice.
You deserve safety for your children.
You deserve freedom from systemic slavery.But NO, you don’t deserve to be briefed mid-operation just so your dopamine fires while global operations hang in the balance. That’s not how war works. That’s not how victory is secured.
REAL warriors are out there right now, risking their lives in the shadows.
They’re undercover in cartel strongholds, infiltrating trafficking rings, and snatching children out of hellholes while you sit comfortably behind a keyboard virtue signaling, pretending you’ve earned a voice in this fight.
You have a voice in the fight, you didn’t earn it.
Other men who sacrificed their lives earned it – not you.
You’ve never risked your life for this country.
You’ve never stared evil in the face with nothing but courage and training to back you up. You’ve never kicked in doors to rescue kids while praying you’d make it home alive.
The only thing you’re entitled to is results, period.You don’t get to cry because it’s not unfolding how you want, or at the speed your emotions demand.
You have no experience, No training, and no clue how to dismantle the most powerful satanic empire in human history.
How do I know?
Because many of you exposed yourself with this gem: “Just let the whole system crash if that’s what it takes, we can handle the truth.”
NEWS FLASH #2:
That’s not strategy, that’s the emotional outburst of a man without a plan, fishing for likes and cheers.
Here’s the reality:
Most of America can’t handle the truth! Get mad, argue – it is the truth. This is not the AMERICA of 1776. This is the AMERICA of soft men being critical of REAL warriors….
I am re-posting this part of his tweet because it is obviously something we all need repeated.
Remember Alpha served as a Marine and then as a LEO for 14 years until Biden’s FBI flash banged his house and pointed guns at his wife and kids, FOR TWEETS! The FBI said he ‘could’ become a ‘Homegrown Terrorist’. LINK 1 and Link 2
At this point I think the deep state is winning.
Why?
Because they have enlisted MAGA to help them win.
The Cabal is very very good at manipulating people. They have years of research and practice, an unlimited budget, and a massive army of troops masquerading as journalists, screen writers, producers, politicians and now social influencers.
TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE: An Ongoing Social Engineering Project to Mind Control Humanity
“In 1941 a group of psychiatrists at the Tavistock Clinic saw that the right questions were asked in Parliament in order to secure the means to try new measures. As a result they were asked to join the Directorate of Army Psychiatry, and did so as a group.” –Tavistock Institute
They wind you up because they know what makes you tick. Tavistock Clinic studied “shell shock” (post-traumatic stress) in WWI but switched to developing psychological warfare in 1922.
Rather than helping traumatized soldiers, it calculated their breaking points. Tavistock shock doctrine now permeates global life. Their social engineers are a Who’s Who: Freud, Jung, Adler, Melanie Klein, Wilfred Bion, Edward Bernays, Eric Trist, A.K. Rice, Eric Miller, Aldous Huxley, R.D. Laing, and more.Tavistock sent German-born psychologist, Kurt Lewin, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1945 to establish the Research Center for Group Dynamics. In the United States, Lewin is the founder of ‘Social Psychology.’ The Center moved to the University of Michigan in 1948 where it became the Institute for Social Research, and continued to co-opt legitimate psychosocial research and exploit mass psychology. By then, the original Clinic became part of Britain’s National Health Service. In 1946, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations split off a policy-making “mother of all think tanks,” publically claiming to research and direct groups and organizations while it continued massive covert operations in social engineering. The think tank registered as a charity in September 1947, in London, England. It devised and spread interdisciplinary models of Group Relations and training in management, administration and sociopolitics…
“The Tavistock Institute was founded in London in 1946 with the aid of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.” — LINK
Britain’s Hidden Hand in America’s Government – They Set Up The Deep state
How did the British help build the very Deep State that now controls Washington? In this video me and Matt Ehret break down the hidden links between the British establishment, the City of London, Wall Street and the rise of the American Deep State. From secretive societies and intelligence ties to financial control and foreign policy manipulation. This is the side of US history you were never meant to see.
The Fabian Society: How Britain Engineered Communism & Controls The World
For over a century, the Fabian Society has worked slowly, quietly and patiently to reshape Britain – and the world. In this deep‑dive, we uncover how a small “intellectual” group became a powerful tool of the British establishment, how their ideas helped engineer modern communism and socialism, and how their influence still steers politics, policy and global institutions today. We discuss their key members, and the networks linking the Fabians to Labour, the City of London, the civil service, NGOs and supranational bodies. Is this really just a harmless debating club – or the long‑game engine of a managed society? If you’ve ever wondered who really pulls the strings behind “democracy”, why every party seems to push the same agenda, and how Britain projects power through ideology rather than open empire, this video will connect the dots
…..
The second reason is they have taken out not one but two key players. We are all aware of the murder of Charlie Kirk. However most are not aware of a more behind the scenes guy, Boone Cutler, who died in September . Boone was co-author of General Flynn’s Fifth Generation Warfare books. Alpha indicated that Boone IDed him and approached him anonymously at a convention, giving him a phone # and code name. I do know that Boone appeared on Sit-Rep in Badlands videos with Alpha. I do not know just how involved Boone was in mentoring and organizing MAGA podcasters and other influencers. However given the Fifth Generation Warfare books and his approaching a poor, newbie podcaster like Alpha was at the time, I think it is a lot more than we will ever know.
…..
The third reason is the Cabal has activated psychological warfare on multiple fronts and many in MAGA are falling for the Psyops.
Pam Bondi and the Justice Department is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL and the cabal has attacked them from many different angles. Singing brought a video from a guy, Doug TenNapel, who explains a lot better than I can.
singingsoul1(@singingsoul1) December 29, 2025 16:05
This is well worth watching. An eye opener how good Nationalists do the work of democrats. We need to be careful whom we listen too. They all fall for misinformation and spread it. I believe Harmeet Dillon.
I like this guy so I looked up this additional video.
TRANSCRIPT – from Youtube with my editing.
Okay, I have five major points defending Pam Bondi. Some of you guys don’t want to hear it. People are going around, they’re listening to lies. I’m going to make many cases today across these four videos that Pam Bondi is the most effective attorney general that we have.
These are the reasons why it takes so long for arrests and anything to get done. And people who ignore these five irrefutable facts, they want to believe a lie and live in a lie. I don’t want to live in a lie. I want to explain to you why things happen. Here’s the five reasons.
Welcome to Doug in Exile, where my audience, I think, is the best informed audience. And people who don’t want to be informed and just want to say nothing will ever happen, yeah, they’ve moved on.
Here we go. Reason number one.
This is why it takes so long. Through investigations and evidence gathering, federal corruption. And by the way, I just went to Grok [Yeah, Grok, but the reasoning makes sense. -GC] and said, “Give me the realistic reasons why no arrests happen with Pam Bondi.”
Federal corruption or misconduct cases like those involving abuse of power, fraud, or bribery require building an airtight case to survive legal scrutiny. This includes reviewing vast amounts of documents, financial records, emails, and communications, often involving forensic accounting or digital forensics. For a sitting congressman like Adam Schiff, investigators must navigate protections under the speech or debate clause, which shields legislative activities from prosecution. So, there’s built-in defenses that are made to protect their free speech, adding layers of legal analysis to determine what’s prosecutable. Witnesses need to be interviewed, subpoenas issued, and potential cooperating sources developed.
Rushing this risks weak evidence leading to dismissals or acquittal. So no one wins if we rush it, which could backfire politically and legally. White collar and public corruption probes can span years and years due to their complexity far beyond simpler crimes like drug possession.
Reason number two the grand jury and internal review process.
This is all part of what Pam Bondi has to go through to get anyone. Before charges can be filed, evidence is typically presented to a grand jury, which decides if there’s probable cause for an indictment. And remember, if you get a grand jury in New York or in Los Angeles, it’s not going to go through. Or Washington DC, the grand jury are 92% Biden voters. This alone can take weeks or months, especially if the case involves multiple allegations or jurisdictions.
Additionally, DOJ protocols require multiple levels of approval from line prosecutors up to senior officials, including the attorney general in high-profile matters to ensure the case aligns with department guidelines and avoids perceptions of bias. Political sensitivities amplify this.
Prosecuting a prominent Democrat could invite accusations of partisanship, which we all know will happen. So extra care is taken to dot every eye and cross every tee.
Reason number three,
Remember, reason number five is going to be the biggest one of all. But reason number three, is statute of limitations and strategic timing. Most federal crimes have a 5-year statute of limitations, giving prosecutors leeway, but also incentivizing thoroughness over speed. They often wait to gather more evidence or link related conduct as premature charges could tip off targets or weaken the overall case. So the more we know, the worse the case gets and they can defend it better.
The Democrats in corruption cases tied to official acts: defining the timeline of events. Example, when an alleged lie or abuse occurred adds further delays.
Reason number four, the court and system is overloaded.
Federal courts are backlogged. With discovery, sharing evidence between sides, alone taking months due to voluminous materials. If the case involves classified information or national security elements common in probes like Adam Schiff, given his intelligence committee role, additional clearances and redactions slow things down. Delays can also stem from defense motions, appeals, or parallel congressional ethics probes that must be coordinated or resolved first.
We’re going to get to point five next, but just think of all of the people that have to be involved. Pam Bondi, she’s not there doing this work herself. She has to have crews and crews. So does Cash Patel. They have crews and crews of people. And this is thousands of man-hour across millions of documents.
So part five, this is the real one.
This is the absolute defining reason why nothing happens. Staffing shortages and resource constraints under Pam Bondi’s leadership in this 2025 context. The Department of Justice is facing severe staffing issues, exasperating delays. Thousands of employees have exited since the Trump administration’s return. That was all documented by Harmeet Dillon. And I’m going to get a huge defense of Pam Bondi from Harmeet Dillon, probably in the next video.
When Trump came, all the Democrats just walked out with hiring stalled by budget cuts, a government shutdown, and new requirements like loyalty tests or favorite Trump policy questions for applicants. And look guys, Republicans and conservatives just don’t go into this field [lawyers] that often. It’s entirely peopled with Democrats to choose from.
Over 200 former staff have publicly decried efforts to undermine career employees. Those are the long-term Democrats that work there, leading to a coordinated effort [by Democrats] to push out non-aligned personnel and creating vacancies in key units like public integrity.
New prosecutor hires are down by about half compared to prior years because it’s so much easier for a Democrat to hire a prosecutor than a Republican, resulting in mounting case backlogs and insufficient bandwidth for complex investigations.
Just so you guys know, Pam Bondi is overseeing hundreds of cases. There aren’t enough people. Funding reductions to offices like the Office of Justice Programs have further strained resources for Bondi. This means her team is understaffed to handle high priority probes alongside routine workloads, forcing prioritization and extending timelines.
And I just want to add on top of all of this work, the one thing that we all know happened this year, that blew up in the last 6 months, it is the Epstein files. So massive public pressure from the right, the dummies on the right who carried the Democrats water, to tell Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, “Take your resources off of this stuff that needs to be prosecuted and put it all on Scooby-Doo doing this ancient dead story from 2008.” and they have to redirect [resources to] redact all the names before millions of documents are released because they have to protect victims and then they’re impugned for that as part of a cover up.
[Well that certainly explains WHY all of a sudden the DemonRats are so gun-ho on the Epstein files! — GC]
So she’s in a no-win situation and the bottom line on all this is Trump is making her do this and no one has the balls to go after Trump. So they go after your number two in command which is the AG Pam Bondi. So Pam Bondi is Trump’s fall guy. And I don’t mean he’s setting her up to fail, but I’m saying Trump says, “Look, prosecute this, work on this, work on this.” He’s not allowed to publicly command her job.
So, many in the MAGA movement, fueled by frustration over perceived two-tier justice system, may expect swift, decisive moves like those portrayed in media or campaign rhetoric, but they often underestimate the bureaucratic and legal hurdles designed to prevent abuse of power. In other words, it’s part of our system.
And look, I see conspiracy showing up that she’s sold out to big pharma. She and Susie Wiles are compromised. She’s a rhino. She’s working for the other side. Those are all lies that 95% of right-wing internet believe and they’re doing the Democrats work against Pam Bondi and therefore against Trump.
That’s why I’m here to defend her, because I’m MAGA all the way, Republican all the way, conservative all the way. An American patriot that believes if we lose 2026, Trump gets impeached and is a lame duck. They steal two years of his four-year presidency if we don’t win 2026 House of Representatives. And so far, it looks like the Democrats have about a 75% chance of winning the House of Representatives, meaning we’re screwed. So, I’m trying to point our focus on the truth. And every other channel is going off on this Pam Bondi Epstein stuff and it’s ridiculous. I’m going to show you more. I’m going to do more defenses of Pam Bondi later today. But I want this argument done.
I see it in my own chat, people reply using these lies that are out there. And I go, look, I can’t chase after 3% of my audience that believe the wrong thing. I have to present the evidence and let this show stand for what it is. Okay.
In conclusion, in short, impatience overlooks that strong cases take time and shortcuts risk bigger failures. If charges are pursued, expect them to unfold over 1 to 3 years or more, not weeks. That’s Grok giving its sober opinion, the most realistic opinion on Pam Bondi. I just presented you with the most sound case of all facts. If you have a problem with these facts, address the facts in the chat below. Tell me which fact is wrong or admit that Pam Bondi is doing her best. I’m going to do more on this later today. Thank you guys for watching. Hope you’ve subscribed. If you’re not getting notifications, go to the magnifying glass, put in Doug in exile, my channel, and then just click videos and you’ll get every video today. These are important because I’m trying to animate the right in the right direction.
END TRANSCRIPT
In another much longer video he gives two more reasons. ONE remember how long it takes to get a candidate confirmed? Do you really think the Uniparty would ALLOW a really great candidate to get past confirmation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVqYysg8xqM
And here is a short TRANSCRIPT of the meat of that video
14:58
Here’s Kathleen Winchell: “Yes my Choice would be Mike Davis for attorney general. Any other candidates?”
Now Mike Davis is one of my favorite guys in the whole world. He clerked for Gorsuch. He’s a regular source on here. I see him on Benny Johnson’s and Steve Bannon’s shows.
And here’s what Mike Davis says, and I hope this sinks in deep with everyone, including Trish Reagan. Mike Davis says of becoming the attorney general to replace Pam Bondi. He says, “No way. Pam Bondi is a savage.” Mike Davis knows. He knows this administration. No one’s closer. He knows Pam Bondi. No one’s closer. Knows Julie, Kelly, Steve, Ben, and everyone on the right. Why is everyone else against Pam Bondi and Mike Davis is for her and Trump is for her? … I’m just saying, what reason does Mike Davis have to say Pam Bondi is a savage?
Robert Barnes, all these people that go, she’s got to step down. Gunther Eagleman, Catturd, everyone going, she’s got to step down. Time to fire Pam Bondi. Retire Pam Bondi, what’s wrong? She’s a rhino. She’s bought out by big pharma. She doesn’t do her job. She’s incompetent. Trish Reagan just said she’s in over her head. I like her, but she’s in over her head.
Mike Davis, who’s one of the only guys who would know, says Pam Bondi is a savage. She is bold and fearless. She makes consequential decisions her GOP male predecessors never had the balls to make. She has a long string of monumental victories at the Supreme Court for the presidency, and lawfare democrats will go to prison.
This is the person that half of the Republican party is trying to fire right now. You idiots.
END TRANSCRIPT
I can not find OUT just how many lawyers work for the DOJ, however I did find this:
There are 94 districts. 58 are NOT Trump appointees, 7 are vacant, 11 are acting and ONLY 12 are Trump appointed and confirmed!
ONLY TWELVE OUT OF NINTEY-FOUR!
Let that sink in. And remember Doug TenNapel said he DMs Harmeet Dillon and she told him she has ONE staffer!
Epstein files totaling more than 60,000 pages… – CBS News
Hundreds of thousands of ‘Epstein files’ have been released | CNN Politics
…over 300 gigabytes…
But the bombshell came on Christmas Eve. That’s when the DOJ announced that its Manhattan office, and the FBI, “uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.”
In its announcement, the Justice Department pleaded for patience, saying “We have lawyers working around the clock,” but that, “due to the mass volume of material, this process may take a few more weeks,” before all of the new documents are posted.
That drew bipartisan anger on Capitol Hill, and from the community of Epstein survivors….
There are at least 202 Results for Attorney Vacancies and Volunteer Legal Internships
“Please note that a federal hiring freeze is in effect as of January 20, 2025, subject to limited exemptions.”
One of the things Doug TenNapel mentioned that I want to re-emphasize is all the lawfare against Executive power that the DOJ must counter AND has been doing so sucessfully.
Kash Patel is in the same position as Pam Bondi. He is dealing with a bureau filled with insurrectionists, with no way to fire them and find decent replacements. His job makes cleaning the Augean Stables look like child’s play.
After writing this, I am beginning to wonder if it was decided to send Dan Bongino back to doing podcasts in order to counter these attacks on POTUS Trump’s cabinet picks.
Excellent open, Gail! Thank you so much for laying all of that out. I love the Alpha Warrior tweet and have saved it for future reference.
Here is an example of the impatience and criticism of Pres. Trump, and it’s coming from Gen. Flynn’s son. I don’t know what’s up with the Flynns. I can’t believe they aren’t more savvy than this, and I’m starting to become very suspicious.
I did not watch this video. I don’t want to hear it. My point is that Flynn Jr. agrees with it.
Then Michael Flynn Jr. says:
Here Flynn had the opportunity to state some of the factors in today’s open, to support Pres. Trump, and to promote unity, but he did the opposite.
Flynn’s are on my shit list, as they are, intentionally NOT part of the solution set.
Yea, posted several times before.
My issue with Flynn, from almost the beginning, is that remaining silent during DJT’s first term, for 4 full years, made no sense.
If you are a high ranking military official AND a real American patriot, you don’t care about the near term legal harm to yourself compared to saving the Presidency and by extension, the Republic.
Everyone said he had to remain silent because of a gag-order.
Do you let the Republic fall, because of a mamby-pamby gag order? It’s ludicrous.
Go through any list of famous American military men, would they have remained silent and watched the Republic fall, because of a gag-order?
Would Gen. George S. Patton do that? 🙄😂
It’s ludicrous.
Then people said they threatened his family, or his son.
So?
Is he a high ranking military professional and an American patriot, or isn’t he?
If the Republic falls, how’s that going to work out for his family?
It never made sense. Considering what was at stake, hiding behind a gag-order was always an incredibly flimsy excuse.
Tina Peters had more guts it seems.
She is a real hero. I hope the feds take over that prison real soon at MINIMUM.
agreed!
And make sure she gets the Medal of Freedom! 
👍
Was he worried about losing his military benifits before and now he sees an opportunity to make $$?
No, on the benefits. That can only happen via a court martial.
My understanding is any felony conviction, kills retirement benefit.
No can do. Would violate the ex post facto clause. Unless the retirement benefit has something to do with the crime.
Thanks. Did a quick look.
Seems tied to being convicted of a felony, some misdemeanors (which surprised me) AND being incarcerated over 60 days.
Perhaps it was a specific charge. Ollie North lost his pension, after conviction. Did NOT serve time, IIRC. Pension reinstated after conviction over turned.
Unless I am misremembering, again.
Ollie North was active duty IIRC.
Ah, yes. As someone said, those pesky details. 
“Was he worried about losing his military benifits before and now he sees an opportunity to make $$?”
_____________
Shouldn’t have been.
If he hadn’t done anything wrong, then he could spill all the beans publicly, saving the Trump presidency, which in turn saves the Republic, and gets himself off the hook.
And his opportunity to make $$$ would be astronomically higher, after becoming the national hero who risked his own freedom and life to save America.
Do you let the Republic fall, because of a mamby-pamby gag order? It’s ludicrous.
No it’s not. Violating the gag order will cause him to be jailed. Not much talking can be done from there.
And we’ve seen what happened to people jailed after Trump’s first term ended. The Jan 6-er’s were basically tortured until Trump was able to free them.
And Tina Peters is STILL in prison for actually obeying the law.
YUP.
The downside of “states’ rights” – which Democrats embraced in the Jim Crow era – and then said was worse than Hitler – and are now using to resist America – is that the Dem pirate states can be pirates on their own turf.
I do think that Tina gets out in 2026. The question is, how soon.
I think the Dems know that if she dies before she’s in federal custody, it hands Trump a weapon they don’t want to give him. But once Colorado falls to election justice, the other pirate states are not far behind, so they will hold her hostage as long as they can.
Interesting times.
If Tina dies in jail, I would not want to be a state politician or prison guard.
No ma’am. I wouldn’t want to be any politician. And if she dies in prison, morale will disintegrate among large groups of people. Ugly stuff.
“No it’s not. Violating the gag order will cause him to be jailed. Not much talking can be done from there.”
_____________
That’s the beauty of obviating the need for a deadman’s switch.
He wouldn’t need to talk from jail, if he published a complete statement with attached evidence.
You just spill all the beans now, before they can imprison or kill you.
Maybe that’s happened but the trapdoor has yet to drop.
Time in the IC always gets the side eye from me 🙄
I do not know what in Hades Flynn is up to. Of all people he is aware of what fifth gen warfare is.
At this time we are certainly seeing who is with POTUS Trump and who is not.
…
On that note, I would like to bring up an idea I just ran across from Ghost of Patrick Henry (Gordon) on Badlands who is an amateur historian. He is an architect by trade.
It certainly makes a lot of sense.
As one political consultant said “It’s the Economy Stupid”
Us political wonks may care about arrests but most of the rest of the people care most about there wallets. Getting the investigations going, and we would necessarily NOT KNOW what is happening in that area, will take time. Hopefully we will see wins starting in that area.
Of course we completely miss allot of those wins since the fake News is ONLY going to broadcast ‘Failures’
This is from the DHS website
DHS Leads Efforts to Rescue Child Victims of Sex and Labor Trafficking
Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were actually smugglers and sex traffickers.
what will happen to those children? dna tests can match them to parents “claiming” them i suppose, but what if they sold the child in the first place?
I really do not know.
And yes the parents do sell them unfortunately.
Poor kids must be really traumatized.
I’ll tell you what I think Flynn is up to, but people won’t like it.
Flynn is reflecting EXACTLY what I hear every day, talking to ordinary, normie, non-political-junkie Americans.
They don’t understand why even low-level criminals aren’t being arrested. They don’t understand why it is dragging on so long. And they are NOT listening to or reading the people defending the delay, so nothing is going to change their minds except arrests.
Do you get it? We will LOSE the midterms without action to prosecute people. We can wish all we want that people knew better, but they don’t! They won’t! Because they aren’t “dialed in.” They aren’t on X, they don’t watch podcasts, they don’t read here or anywhere that they will change their minds.
Flynn is scared. I’m scared. Something has to change, fast. That may not be reasonable, it may not be feasible, it may not be acceptable to ask. But it is REAL.
That’s what I see.
Part of the problem is the Fake News never covers what arrests have been made except locally. AND people just do not pay attention. They want BIG arrests like the Clintons.
CBS Texas

Yup.
Focus the people you know who are parroting the enemy sources of information toward the readily available true information on X, Truth Social, gab, WhiteHouse.gov., etc.
Yandex really helps since Google (brave…) will deliberately hide information.
Yandex helps. I found the same with Brave. I am comparing it to Safari and most of the time see very little difference.
I think Flynn is faking scared for a reason. Here’s my take on what he’s up to.
I see the reverse out here. Most voters aren’t even conscious of the “arrests” issue – they’re just hoping the economy improves enough that they can keep it all balanced. So from my perspective, the “Twitter Tempest” about arrests seems highly suspicious. I’m using “AND logic” on who is behind it now.
I half-suspect that both sides – Trump and Dems/Euros/UK/neocons/Cabal – are positioning for sufficient public support for their opposing strategies whenever things go down. And BOTH are influencing MAGA.
IMO, both sides are playing chess with most of the offline public, while using different “professional wrestling” strategies to influence the circus of the online portion of the MAGA base.
IMO, Trump will not deviate from his chess strategy on arrests, which could have significant impacts before the 2026 election, after it, or both. Public pressure to act against his chess logic will be dealt with in circus influence mode, not by an actual alteration of plans.
“Calls for arrests” are part of Trump’s strategy, IMO. He needs the “arrests now” people so committed, that they can’t be squeamish or back out when things actually happen – because many of them will be squeamish, regretful, self-conscious, and easily manipulated by Dems and their media saying it’s all “worse than Hitler”. He needs those people to defend him when Demmunists say it’s the end of the world, and it’s Trump supporters’ fault.
Are people prepared for violence? Being attacked in public? Having their houses shot at? Oh, I remember 2016.
Trump won’t need….. from his well-practiced onside critics……
“We said we wanted arrests – but we didn’t say THOSE arrests.”
“We wanted 4 AM raids! Why isn’t FBI degrading these people? Why are these people on the news complaining the very next day?”
“Where are the tunnels? Where are the doubles?”
“Why isn’t he arresting the Rothschilds and Rockefellers?”
“There aren’t enough arrests!”
“Why hasn’t Schiff been arrested yet?”
It’s all noise, planned by smarter people who want it. On both sides – to effect an outcome they seek.
The X bots will be out by the millions. Swarms in both directions. “No Kings” will be screaming into every Dem phone. Antifoids will start shooting again.
I know that where I live, looking at actual voters, the “arrests” issue isn’t even on the table, except with the most hard-core GOP, well right of the main part of the bell curve of MAGA voters. Property taxes, gas prices, food prices, jobs – and now MAYBE Somali fraud (as part of taxes) is what matters.
I’m not sure I’m with Scott Adams, that “Elect me for Arrests” (what are you GOING TO DO) is a better strategy than “Here are the Arrests – Elect me to make sure they stick” (what you DID), but it may be that teasing with a limited hangout before the election is a better strategy. I don’t know what is the best chess here. But I trust that Trump does.
All I know is that I trust Trump to play chess, and the online crowd to cheer for wrestling. And when the boxing starts, remember – Trump totally understands fights, too. And their crowd psychology. VSG.
I’m just hiding and watching, trying to be prepared for anything, and influenced by nothing.
Smart! As I just mentioned elsewhere, influencers are a problem!
Huge problem. Akin to Covidiot fears…until folks WTFU.
Stand tall. Speak with reason.
We’ll be just fine AND we’ll WIN.
Ego…social media has tripped some lever in mankind’s soul ! SO many people want that fame. They’ll do anything or say anything to get it…and dayum..sometimes you get big enough to be paid.
I’m not versed enough to know offhand the signs of end days but…every bad sin that the devil himself could think up is front and center in our society right now. Has the bad genie ever gone back in the bottle?
Can’t argue people are frustrated. I understand it.
A big concern here. As weak as it may be. In a week or two, some DOJ office says, hey look here. We FOUND, what MAY BE two million Epstein documents. A LIE, which will drive more delay in DOJ.
No telling what the imbecile criminal judges will do to muck up Trump 2.0.
Sadly Trump 2.0 has no counter to criminal judges. 100% Due To Uniparty (frickin complicit R-Con)
It’s a frickin war. Quite literally. At some point Insurrection Act will be invoked. To what degree, where, I do not know.
As for me, I Stay The Course. Trust Trump.
100% I believe Trump 2.0 will deliver. Big names going down, along with everyday thieves. Including SlimOilies
There is NO better answer.
I see some of this similar thinking with my hubby right now.
Me, too. And with other family, and with friends and acquaintances. It’s pervasive in the people who are not super-engaged in politics. They just want to see action, and they don’t understand why they aren’t.
Yes. & Hubby doesn’t really want to hear it if I can share Any insights about what’s “actually” happening. My kids are pretty discouraged right now too. I’ve been horrified by the food prices when gathering supplies for our various family gatherings.
Same. My kids are down, their friends are, too. DH is just pissed. Friends I talk to are fed up, and this Somali fraud thing has people really pissed and demoralized. And the price of food? WTF are we supposed to do? It’s nuts.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it.
There are aspects that are pretty scary. We’ve suddenly got a debt load that didn’t exist a few months ago. I’ll probably be able to get it off our backs with our tax refund but now there is interest compounding every month so we are paying a stupidity or “poverty” “tax” just by getting behind. I need to find a way to contribute financially beyond penny pinching but rub up against various barriers when contemplating, let alone attempting, to “execute” the process. God is helping us but the weight mentally, emotionally, financially, & sometimes even spiritually is heavy…sigh…
I feel you.
I’m fairly certain, from all your past posts, that you and I live a similar financial existence. I think you may be a bit younger than me.
I save nothing. There’s nothing to save. Thankfully, God has given us the means to support ourselves when DH can’t work full time anymore. I will encourage him to never “retire,” however. I think it’s unhealthy for men, generally. I’ve watched too many stop working and just deteriorate.
My little house is now essentially three houses. Two of my adult children live here, and help pay for everything. But even if they left, I could install tenants. So that is my “retirement” plan, lol.
Don’t beat on yourself about the debt. You are in good company; this economy has done it to many. It’ll work out. God will provide. He always does, doesn’t He, one way or another?
Here’s to a New Year, and renewed faith in our Creator’s providence.
Oh, Amen Aubergine.
I think I’m a tad older than you as I turn 62 next month, fwiw.
We used to get our son’s SSI to help make ends meet but ever since he married 3 years ago his wife gets it all even though we care for him slightly more than half the time. That few hundred dollars a month would make a difference as did the “free food” from a local church that helped us out for a couple of years, from the no income trucking school months to this past Spring. Now that food is even more ridiculously expensive it would be an even bigger help if it were still available.
Hubby just turned 59 & is adamant that he’s retiring (no matter what) at 65, even if the government has raised the retirement age higher. I hope he doesn’t Fully retire because I see how at loose ends he gets on weekends, especially those where he’s not playing worship or having guy stuff gatherings locally or Up North, like hunting &/or hiking. I agree that it’s especially hard on men when they stop being productive. My dad took an early retirement deal at 55 & has never had another job. He’s been busy with various ministry responsibilities at their church & was blessed to be able to live off of a very decent retirement package from Ford that didn’t diminish in its “endowment” for 20+ years (& possibly for the entirety but that hasn’t been discussed in a while).
He dedicated 50% of any raises he got after a certain point to “The Lord’s Account” that he uses for various kinds of Kingdom Work, & I believe God has given him/them great favor, including financially, because of that faithfulness. We haven’t been in a position to tuck any money aside for most of our marriage, unfortunately, for I am a saver by nature. Every time I put $100 in savings I have to put it back into checking to cover bills usually within a month or two.
God’s helped us through some rough patches financially in the past & I trust that He will help us get through this one too. He is faithful even when we fall short PTL 🙂
Yuge.
Completely agree. Now is when you fly the MAGA, patriot flag if you are one.
Most on here know that Flynn has been misdirection at best. For those who said PDT had this all lined up along with the patriots from #45’s first day and on – I call bullshiz. PDT and Jr. have both openly said they did not. Their cabinet selections and missteps confirm it. Some of it has been reversed and used to fuel what we see now.
Flynn was one of those major missteps and errors in judgment IMO.
Yes. Flynn understands strategy, both militarily and politically. He should understand the inner workings of the justice system, the short staffing, the efforts being made, etc. Even if he thinks arrests aren’t coming fast enough and even if he is afraid of the effect that might have on the midterms, outright criticism of the president is not a way to help. Something doesn’t smell right. He can’t be that unaware of what he’s doing.
I agree.
Some sort of 5th (or 6th or 7th) generation strategy to increase discontent to lead to and/or welcome military intervention????
That there’s a worthy thought. 🤔
Likely so. The problems are, will be obvious. Very targeted military intervention.
Great move.
Sadly, 3, 2, 1….ass wipe activist judge tosses in a nationwide injunction stopping RFK Jrs orders.
4, 5, 6…Blondi lawyers have to fight this Lawfare crap.
We’re up against evil Demmunists. Not gonna side with Dems, RINOs, and GOPe that Sundance is pointing out. Time to keep striking the Dem Fraud Papas and their Somali minions. The corrupt WHYTE WYMYNZ judges who let the Somalis off the hook. Keith Ellison of George Floyd autopsy infamy and now this stuff. Tampon Time, MK sucker/criminal. And whoever programmed that crazy to kill that Dem senator in Somalisota. Time for all these murderous assholes to pay.
LOL @ “Tampon Time”! His new name!
From your keyboard to God’s ears.
AGREE!
Unfortunately I think you are correct.
POTUS Trump and his cabinet have undertaken a MASSIVE TASK. Unfortunately the fate of the world hangs in the balance and the Cabal is fighting back like a cornered rabid jackal.
A big problem is they have so many weapons on their side: Unlimited wealth, much of the government, the Fake News, many corporations and now we find out even a lot of the ‘Conservative Influencers’ To top it off we do not even know who “They” actually are!
We know who some of their lieutenants are, Soros, the Clintons, the Rockefellers, Morgans and Rothschilds… But I do not think we really know who is actually the ultimate string pullers.
…
Alpha made a recent comment about ‘Them’ He said there is someone out there who can make a phone call and destroy you. Have you Swatted, Doxxed, Debanked, Place on the No Fly List, fired from your job… And he should know because he went thru it.
Worse you have ZERO idea WHO your actual accuser is.
On top of that, if they really get pissed at you they can have you killed. ‘Suicides’ car accidents, drownings, sudden heart attacks… they have a whole bag full of methods that they use,
The ultimate string puller – Satan, of course.
There is a person or persons below (or is it above) him

her remarks…that she is representing the interests of Somalia should disqualify her for a seat in our gov’t.
AMEN! and it should be grounds for yanking her citizenship…. Among a lot of others.

Exactly!

There absolutely is solid connections to Timmy Tard and Omar….the actual connection may be buried 10 people deep but it’s there. As someone stated yesterday ..these 3rd world dimwits didn’t show up knowing how and which US programs to abuse.
EVERY person associated with EVERY fake center by now should be booked and arrested. Haven’t heard any boohoo-ing from Minnesota yet…WHY NOT???
FIB / DOJ start leaning on low level crims AND they’ll sing what higher ups did, said. Fraud Father, the Retard Tampon Tim will go down. As will Ilhan.
If there is any truth to Ilhan married her brother, her ass is cooked. Trump, Blondi, Marco and Kristi will not play nice. Her ass is gone.
If there is anything the government excels at it is the demand for paperwork to comply to its laws and regulations. Granted that it is selective in its enforcement, but such documentation is technically required. In the way the IRS can force you to show every receipt, if it desires, so can HHS run Minnesota through the paper mill. I think that is a brilliant strategy which the judicial gatekeepers will have a hard time fighting. So I applaud RFK Jr for letting it snow. I say, “send forth the blizzard” or, if you prefer a classical notion, “release the Kraken”.
And all those entities that have been ignoring the paper work requirements just fainted!
I keep ALL my receipts and other paperwork. I have boxes and boxes cluttering up the place.
Have you ever seen the movie “Stranger Than Fiction?” Will Ferrell actually gives a wonderful performance as an IRS agent sent to audit Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character. She gives him all her records, which she had kept meticulously ordered, but she jumbled them into chaos before handing them over!
It is a very sweet love story, and also stars Emma Thompson, who I love.
A very wise move. I know someone who did that, and all of those receipts, calendar entries, and records were needed in a land dispute that arose.
And you know what? Anybody can sort through the paperwork if they have any experience as even an office manager. Or what about all those 87,000 IRS agents?
You don’t have to be an attorney to check invoices for food services. Or childcare providers pay records. Actual daycare workers don’t make big money, so there have to be records of people being paid reasonable wages for the job. If not, there were no kids being cared for.
There are lots of jobs that don’t require attorneys to do them, and I’m sure many Americans would be willing to do those jobs. And they should be aware that if there’s anything hinky about their work, they’ll be polygraphed and charged with obstruction of justice, just to weed out any leftists who might apply.
Actually anyone with decent math skills can do it.
Great job for us old fogies…. WHO CAN ACTUALLY COUNT CHANGE! 😂
Those 87 K IRS agents never happened. They never were for additions. They were replacement staff for existing openings for the most part.
Excess enforcement agents were moved into other areas in Treasury earlier this year per Bessent. He said Treasury began investigations on this a week ago.
Better in the Treasury tracking fraud
Bessent and key staff are all over it.
Well, that’s good to know! We need less IRS, not more.
And more fraud sniffers.
From the first results from DOGE, through today, FRAUD IS likely hundreds of Billions.
I think they know it is at least a trillion and possibly more a year. Increase the productivity to 4+% GDP, add in tariffs, reduce the scope of government. Secure the hemisphere. Enforce the Monroe Doctrine. Destroy the criminal networks. Return government to the people. Love the Lord and take care of one another.
The Golden Age.
LMAO!!!
YUP. Was this kid on puberty blockers? Hormones? TRANS PSYCHOSIS?
I think it starts with self hatred.
YES. The white guilt is highly toxic, and the public schools sell it BIGLY.
Long ago someone here brought a story from a teen who was talked into transitioning via an online Chat group. She said the testosterone literally made her homicidal. Made her anger and rage go thru the roof.
Luckily she was smart enough to figure it out and de-transitioned. She was lucky and figured it out before too much harm was done.
What also struck me was that she did not have ‘sexual dysphoria’ or whatever they call it. She was perfectly happy to be a woman. She just got TALKED INTO IT ONLINE!
That whole story is downright scary!
I had the misfortune (fortune?) to go through menopause way too early. The doctor put me on hormones when we realized what had happened.
I lasted for two weeks, and said “never again.” My personality changed, I really did feel “homicidal” and like I could hurt somebody. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever felt, like something else was in control.
For some people, monkeying around with their hormonal balance is a no-go.
Very true. My change was in the fifties and it was bad enough! I still get the blasted hot flashes.
WOW. Do you remember which hormones? It could be the same ones as likely here – estrogens and/or progestogens.
I believe it was this one:
Prempro is a brand-name, once-daily oral tablet that combines two hormones, conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone, and is used as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women who still have their uterus. The progestin component helps to protect against uterine cancer, a risk associated with estrogen-only therapy.
OK – this is really confirming what I’m thinking.
From what I understand, many MTF trannies are taking diverted birth control pills as a kind of OTC hormone therapy, if they can’t get actual feminizing hormone treatments.
Well BC pills are similar to what you were taking,
And Chloe Cole (former FTM trannie) was taking testosterone. She felt uncontrollable anger.
I’m thinking that anger, rage and violence are high-level risks of ANY kind of messing with hormones.
All I can tell you is, from experience, taking that shit made me mad as hell. I am a self-aware person, trained to be, so I caught it fast. But most people? They won’t.
Nashville city police and admin stepped in to block all public information releases back then. They were probably protecting Vanderbilt. The state finally shut down Vanderbilt’s mutilation operation. Leftist press release, but confirms its demise.

Just like Ritalin, that transgender crap produces homicidal maniacs.
First they shoot up the kids with a gazillion vaccines and then they give them Ritalin. Not to mention making schools sitting duck shooting zones.

RITALIN AND VIOLENCE
School Shootings Linked to Psychotropic Drugs Such as Ritalin: http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/2000-05-16-School-Shootings-Psychotropic-Drugs.htm
One parent of a teenage murderer [16-year-old son, Jared] and those who knew him reported major personality changes after taking Ritalin. http://familyrightsassociation.com/bin/white_papers-articles/drugging_our_children/
…in 1973, psychiatrists were giving amphetamines to volunteers in order to observe their reactions. The reactions frightened researchers, who noted that several of the subjects expressed “a desire to kill” or to do something “bad or destructive.
I’d sure like to know what dosages and what type of amphetamines they were giving those volunteers. I’d also like to know the background info on them.
From the late 60s to the late 70s, I was a daily amphetamine user. There were times when I got feelings of violence and anger but in response to adverse stimuli [such as somebody challenging me]. I had lots of amphetamine using friends [of course] and none of them were ever enraged or homicidal.
I suspect the researchers kept increasing the dosage to get the result their paymasters wanted.
Quite possibly or they could have been a slightly different chemical that was never put on the market.
ThanQ for expanding my horizons. 🙂
You are welcome.
Also some chemicals have different effects on different people.
Benadryl makes me sleepy but made my vet hyper.
Same with wifey and me. I go to sleep, she gets amped up.
Of course, there are other drug reactions that vary greatly even in the same person. At one time, users may be lulled into a stupor; at other times, they may become pugilistic.
And, yes, alcohol is a drug.
We were in the Denver area about 2 decades ago for a week & the place we stayed delivered a daily paper to your door. I recall multiple articles about tranny stuff including surgeries at some pioneering facility in the area. It was bizarro-world, gross-out gushing in the write ups, iirc. I would glance at it like the fascination of rubbernecking at a very horrible car accident. It was such an aberration compared to (known) activities in the Mid-West 🙄
Gail’s post Is A Must Read.
Consider this, from the post / video(s).
So massive public pressure from the right, the dummies on the right who carried the Democrats water, to tell Pam Bondi and Cash Patel,
“Take your resources off of this stuff that needs to be prosecuted and put it all on Scooby-Doo doing this ancient dead story from 2008.”
Now. Let’s read about, Nothing Is Happening. Fire Blondi. Fire Kash.
MAGA, or should I say, select MAGA are feeding the frenzy problem. Not just Epstein bullshit. Israel, along with other stuff posted yesterday…
Gee I wonder why DumRats are screaming for Epstein files.
Gee I wonder why DumRats are hell bent on Not confirming Trump nominations.
Exactly!
Yup. Sundance said as much, too. We can’t be suckers for this shit.
YUP
Keep focused on the short term goal. A blow out win for MAGA in the midterms.
“Arrests” needs to be addressed – and I trust that Trump has a plan!
Assuredly Trump has a plan. Trump adjusts on the fly. Never losing sight of his focus. Likely increases focus, targets.
Trust trump.
Do the Dems actually want the arrests BEFORE the midterms, to rally their base?
DumRats assuredly do NOT want arrests. arrests further exposes their criminal behavior.
IMO they would only want arrests if it happened in a way that backfired and harmed Trump.
Hard to do when VSG DJT continually OWNS the downside!
THANK YOU!
We are heading into election season and we HAVE TO COMBAT this newest attack on MAGA.
I watched them destroy the Tea Party. This time we CAN NOT ALLOW MAGA TO BE DESTROYED. If the DemonRats win the house & or Senate, Trump becomes a lame duck and I do not think we will get another chance to save this world from the horrible future the Cabal has planned for us.
No matter what we have to keep that in mind.
Or maybe that’s what finally starts what’s coming.
The thing which nothing can stop, but which doesn’t seem to have a ‘start’ switch either.
Again, remember what Bessent said. They have been investigating the Somali fraud for a while and are now following the money trail.
Exactly.
Kill off the money supply, and it all falls apart.
I Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
And indeed it is.
Whether it’s the moneychangers in the Temple and their Satanic descendants the banksters, or the Payseurs and the hidden levels above them, the evil is ever-present, and extends down to the pit of HELL.
Rather than burning time, money, energy, and brain cycles on impatience and black-pilling, I really think people should concentrate on exposing fraud and corruption (like Nick Shirley and others are doing), encouraging MAGA and honest, patriotic efforts, and doing whatever is possible to help winning big in the midterms.
Do it right, because you don’t get twice…
[The fact that this has been going on for centuries is often overlooked; it’s not easy to undo and correct that quickly… I think things have been going pretty well, all things considered…]….
Finally, since this that we see is the top of an evil mountain with its roots in HELL, we need to PRAY and fast, too (for those who can). The SatanoDEMONRATS need to be fought on the spiritual level as well as the political and other levels…
And, (even) with bombs (OK too-early fireworks) going off outside, I wish everyone here and their friends and families a HAPPY, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS, and BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!
ALL ASSETS DEPLOYED and screw the black pillers.
5 of the most badass American naval quotes ever
Each of the other phrases has the history at the site.
This is why I’m struck by the comments by Flynn Jr. I’ve seen a similar (what I consider) lack of leadership from Gen. Flynn himself. He could express his assessments of situations while offering admonishments to fight on. Instead, it just comes off as criticism.
Stars (generals and admirals) are full of their assumed grandeur.
Flynn is no different. Came across crystal clear in one of Gail’s posts, where Flynn was introducing 5thgen. Irritated me then. Irritates me to this day.
Pomposity in all its forms irritates the hell out of me.

Evolutionary psychology is different for men and women in many ways.
For example, the modern expression ‘Show Me the Money!‘ didn’t just come out of nowhere, it all began eons ago, back in the hallowed and wonderous days of yore.
Cavemen were sitting around an empty fire pit, telling the lady cavemen that some day they would invent fire, and it would give light, and be warm, and make it possible to cook food, and eventually this knowledge would lead to the internal combustion engine and things called planes that would travel in the sky like birds.
The lady cavemen said “Yeah, you all talk a big game, but you never show us nuthin’. Let us know when you actually have fire, and maybe we’ll give you the time of day.”
This inspired men to invent clubs first, before fire. Good thing too, or none of us would be here today. But like Arlo Guthrie says in Alice’s Restaurant, that’s not what I’m here to talk about… 😁
Eventually the cavemen did create fire, but the lady cavemen wouldn’t believe it, not until they put their hands in the flames and got singed. But it was true, it was fire, and the cavemen had somehow gained power over it.
So the lady cavemen warmed up to the cavemen men (and their fire).
The cavemen were slow, but they began to see a vague connection between the benefits of actually doing something, as opposed to just talking about it.
Much time passed, and one day the men invented clay pots. They would dig a hole, and have a woman stand in the hole while holding a flat rock on her head, so the rock was high enough above the ground for the man to work on it while sitting down, and then have her spin around in a circle, so the potter could use the flat rock as a platform, to turn the wet clay into pots, and other useful things.
This worked, but it was less than ideal. Despite what many might think, the women complained a lot.
For one thing, holding the rock on their heads all day was uncomfortable and created a bald spot right on the top of her head, which the ladies didn’t like one bit.
This inspired the men to invent another useful item we still use to this day, called a ‘hat’, which originally was short for “hat will stop her complaining“.
[You won’t be able to not remember that, and smile to yourself, the next time you put on a hat 😁]
After considerable critici… uh, I mean, constructive feedback from the ladies, the men developed their new hat device into a more durable kind of hat, which the men called a helmet.
Which, of course, was short for all the hell they met, from the ladies, after the ladies’ dissatisfaction with the hat.
The helmet helped, but the ladies’ arms would still get tired from holding the rock on their heads all day, and they would get dizzy from spinning around, causing the flat rock on their heads to wobble, which caused the clay pots to lose the aesthetically pleasing uniform shape, which the men had worked so hard to make.
So one day, the men said they were going to invent the wheel, and it would do the spinning, so the ladies didn’t have to.
And not only that, but they would use the wheel for all sorts of other things too, like transporting goods in another thing they were going to invent, called carts. And the men were going to domesticate big wild animals, called horses, and make the horses pull the carts, so the women wouldn’t have to.
Always trying to impress the women and do nice things for them, the men were — but the women never believed. They always just said show me, and maybe we’ll talk.
So the men did all those things, and a lot more besides. And the women had to admit, what the men had done was pretty impressive. So another generation followed.
The men were still slow, but they were learning. They began to see that just talking about what they were going to do didn’t seem to impress the ladies at all, but when they actually did what they said they were going to do, the ladies always eventually came around.
Survival of the species was frequently in doubt, often hanging by a thread until men came up with some new contraption to make the ladies’ lives easier — but the men found a way, and new generations followed.
And the men learned, they began to understand that words had little value, it was only results that actually mattered.
From an evolutionary psychology standpoint, the ladies were not learning these same lessons along the way, because they didn’t have to perform — they just waited for the men to invent stuff and profit from it, and then the ladies picked those men, the ones who could provide the most stuff.
Fast forward a few thousand years to ancient Roman times, where men were sitting around in empty spas, telling the lady Romans how they were going to invent aqueducts, and indoor plumbing, and swimming pools, and steam baths with hot coals under the floor, to heat the whole home in winter.
The lady Romans all scoffed, and said “Sure you are, tell us another one“, and then they all went back to the kitchen the men had built for them, to cluck about how useless the men were with all their big dreams and silly talk.
So the Roman men invented aqueducts and indoor plumbing and swimming pools and steam baths and whole home heating.
The lady Romans were suitably impressed. They couldn’t deny what the men had done. So as a result, and fortunately for us all, another generation of humans followed.
The men were finally starting to get the hang of this game, but there were many more important inventions and lessons to come, each new one compounding upon the last, burning into the subconscious mind of every man, across the millennia, that promises are worth exactly what you paid for them — it’s only results that actually matter.
Hence… show me the money!
And now you understand why men are so results-oriented.
We need results, not talk.
It’s in our DNA 😁
I’ve been telling this story now for twenty five minutes. I could tell it for another twenty five minutes. I’m not proud.
Or tired…
So we’ll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four-part harmony and feeling. We’re just waiting for it to come around, is what we’re doing. All right now…

I realize that these are business loans, but I don’t understand this. My experience with home loans is that they are so strict and the underwriters are so afraid of approving something that the homeowner will default on that they make the process extremely difficult and demanding, even for a highly qualified buyer. I don’t know how these small business loans work, and I’m wondering if the ability to perpetrate this fraud is due to incompetence by the lenders or if someone on the inside had to be facilitating it.
Gas stations cost millions of bucks to upgrade to modern standards. These are reasonable loans, IMO. Looks like a distraction.
I think AF Post is a Nick Fuentes operation. Note that he seems to be behind a lot of sabotage of America First and MAGA.
For example….

Interesting. So you think this is Fuentes stirring things up? I need to remember that he is behind “AF Post.”
I think he is, but I’m not sure. The owners seem to be hiding who’s behind it now. In any case, if you see anything labeled “America First” that seems to be increasing division, making Trump look bad, etc., it’s very likely coming from either Fuentes or the same forces that are pushing him.
Thank you!
Nick Fuentes was not a very strong Trump supporter when he began co-opting the “America First” meme and slowly converting it to “Israel Never”.
This is where I think Bibi is kinda right, that antisemitism – real antisemitism – is bad for MAGA.
The big conflict is between “Israel First” and “Israel Never” – with most of MAGA being “America First, but Israel Need Not Worry”. In other words, normal sovereignty, where America looks out for its own interests, always, but still has Israel’s back when push comes to shove. Most MAGA isn’t anti-Israel – they just mean that America First is real. We’re not going to support communism in Israel – sorry. We’re not going to support vax mandates – money for transing Jewish kids – etc. Israel ain’t gonna be it’s own Somalia, soaking Uncle Sam for billions. But by the same token, no new Hitlers!!! Trump has been very good to Israel, shutting down the Iranian nukes.
Fuentes is just a problem for MAGA. Aubergine had the guy pegged. He’s just trouble, and he finds everybody’s nit and inflates or infects it. He finds every minor problem in MAGA and blows it up. He’s trouble.
I think Gail may be right that UK/EU and the British Empire Cabal are behind Fuentes. Bibi’s not really helping us – only himself – but he’s right about the toxicity of the Fuentes types.
Someone is certainly backing Fuentes financially.
IIRC, he never even finished college just went straight to being an ‘influencer’ A WELL PAID influencer.
Other influencers will tell you about the suppression al-gore-rhythms on Youtube & the old twitter. Not to mention the out right banning.
So I give anyone who rose fast the side-eye.
Wonder if he’s involved with or funded by and of the “Open Society” foundations, or maybe some WEFfenSS YoungGlobalLeaders…
Yandex for the WIN again!
REDDIT: Nick Fuentes funded by two of Texas top billionaires Christian nationalist.
There is a 5 minute video explanation.
You have this read exactly right IMO, Wolf. Aubergine and Gail have as well in their research on their related hot buttons.
The tool AW may have missed is the military intervention into conspiracy charges. There is no secret they are entrapping all of it into a conspiracy; a massive national RICO net. Harmeet indicated as much recently with the veiled no statute of limitations statement. That pulls the military system into the take down. They are well prepared for it. The traitor federal judiciary will be included in the take down IMO.
No – we will not lose the HR in the midterms. The take down that would undercut it is underway. PDT is correct – GOP support is about two thirds of eligible voters. Keep the hammer down on cleaning up the election apparatus and it will start reflecting it better. They are handling it like the solid red states have handled their own and took down the uniparty participants in the process. Now we have supermajorities in our states that can even override a squishy governor as necessary.
Many MAGA people keep forgetting that the southern border as well as control of sea passages applies to keeping people inside our borders as much as keeping people out. No escape. Northern land route border security is also being worked.
I really don’t know how MAGA misses some of this. A lot of land along the southern border has been deeded to the military. More will be added. Border patrol assets are shifted as the military assumes control. In my best Sarah Palin voice – “I can see Canada and Greenland from my house.” Well, not really, but you get my point. The Fabians can kiss both goodbye eventually. Regional polarity is a real thing and the Monroe Doctrine will be enforced.
If PDT is pleased with Pam, Kash, Pete, whoever – I am. He paid the price during the #45 term for missing on key cabinet positions. He knows how it all works now. Head down, eye on the prize.
Nice summation. 💪
TY 👊
Agreed!!!
Very nice adddition.
There have also been some veiled pointers at the Insurrection Act.
In a way, the SCOTUS not allowing the National Guard into Chicago is a gift.
BINGO. Tinkered with last paragraph.
If PDT is pleased with Pam, Kash, Pete, whoever – I am.
He paid the price during the #45 term for missing on key cabinet positions.
He knows how it all works now.
Head down, eye on the prize.
^^^^ Precisely where I am.
I don’t understand why we don’t all just follow Trump’s lead on Israel. HE certainly isn’t dropping Israel on its ass. Trump was just given an award in Israel never before given to an non-Israeli.
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It is natural for them to be our strongest ally there.
Antisemitism isn’t just bad for MAGA, it’s bad for the soul. It’s society-corrupting, hateful nonsense. It invades governments and devolves into wars.
Let’s just not do that again, shall we?
Agree.
All racism is bad for the soul and anti-Christian. That makes it anti-American. PDT has the authority to protect or slap down Israel if they get out of line. I am sure he has done the latter in private meetings when justified.
The PDT led Abraham Accords speaks volumes on this issue. The players that live in that neighborhood are making progress toward peace and coexistence. We should honor that same movement.
We do not need to enter into conflicts there other than bombing Iran as needed. The GCC has the Peninsula Shield Force in place to handle military actions needed for clean-up. Iran does not want that – they saw it clean up Iraq as an example. Several hundred thousand hardened military pros with equipment supplied from us and Russia with SA leadership as the point of the spear. When SA and it appears, Turkey, comes into the Accords – Israel will have its legal defense and right to exist acknowledged and in place.
Trump’s basic support for Israel COMBINED with his extreme resistance to movements like the Neocons, the Woke, the Immigration Whores, the RINOs, and the Globalists, who all play the “you’re with us or you’re antisemitic” dog whistle so well, is pretty legendary, and too complex for most people, sadly. Yes, you’re right – people should just follow Trump. The problem is, Trump doesn’t dog-whistle what he’s doing (which is the right approach), so people have to trust him against their own instincts, and those instincts are easily misled by “influencers”.
Standing up to the Jewish Left while supporting Israel is not easy, and most people simply can’t do it – especially when it entails some degree of standing up to the American Jewish right, and the Israeli right, as well.
That means loving Mark Levin, even when he’s wrong.
“Complicated business.”
I don’t hate on Mark Levin. I think Levin has his priorities, which are based on who he is. While I may not agree, I don’t think those priorities are particularly damaging, unless there’s something I don’t know. Unwavering support of Israel from a Jew is just not a surprise to me, I guess.
I don’t like Tucker Carlson, but it’s not because of his antisemitism so much as it’s his obfuscating and outright lying about who he really is. I remember his Trump-hating bullshit very well. I don’t hate on the people who hated Trump early on, and changed their minds, like Glenn Beck, for example. Trump’s rise was a lot for some traditional political people to take. But Carlson blows in the wind like a sock at the airport. I can’t stand him.
Fuentes’ attacks on Indians show me exactly where his bias really is. He’s a disaster for Ohio. And, eventually, for America.
To be more explicit on this, attacking Ramaswamy at this point is not only ill-advised, IMO – it makes me think that Fuentes is on a mission to hand Ohio back to Dems and then blame MAGA for losing. His “path to power” is Hitleresque – he needs more social damage. Fuentes is all about his own power, nothing about what’s good for America. IMO.
Vivek is not only tied with the Dem (nobody else is close) – he has a plan to out-do Rhonda in Florida – to make Ohio more anti-woke than Florida. NOBODY else in Ohio can (1) get elected, and (2) pull that off – but I believe Vivek actually can.
Sometimes Vivek rubs me the wrong way, however the guy is very very smart and I agree he could really help Ohio.
IIRC Vivek’s family was very low cast in India so I do not think he has much love for that culture.
On top of that every time anyone slurs LEGAL Indian immigrants, I think of Dinesh D’Souza who I really admire.
i agree. weird vibes from him.
Vivek is slick – there’s no denying it – but he’s slick about the right things, in the right way, for the right reasons. I think he’s picked up many of Trump’s tricks – we’re just more forgiving of the magic show in Trump’s case. But the fact is, Vivek is one of Trump’s top students, Rhonda being another.
Consider Adams and Jefferson as students of Washington, and I see Vivek, Rhonda, and (best of all) Vance as similar to Trump.
There will never be clones of Trump, but there will be people who believe in the model he’s leaving for us, and who carry it on in their own ways. THAT is the heritage that matters.
*****************
Great point about Dinesh. Frankly, I don’t agree with him about everything, and when he’s wrong, I say so. He was an idiot to engage in straw donor crap, and got what he deserved – however, he admitted his error and took his punishment like a man. He’s another example of somebody on our side who it’s a mistake to reject on what amount to double-standards.
PS – I will never deny the cultural baggage anybody brings to America, because everybody brings baggage, and Asian Indians are no exception! I remember when Italians and Poles were the ones with the most laughable and sometimes annoying baggage – well, we have new groups, now.
😂
The same thing applies to everybody – we need to be importing new Americans – not whole cultures. The Somalis are just the best lesson yet, because their culture has been so jaw-droppingly bad for America.
I think Vivek actually gets all that, and – like Trump – he covers the downside, and in many ways, more skillfully than Trump, because he lives with the “immigrant” family status more visibly. He may be the perfect guy to deal with the Somali problem. It’s both a crisis AND an opportunity for him.
Thanks for the info on Vivek. I trust your judgment.
I’ll talk more about it later. Gotta run right now!
You are correct, Wolf. It is propaganda to throw MAGA off track. Again, this was my career. There is nothing unusual about this if the borrowers are legal and in compliance with SBA and other federal policies/laws.
The Indian community basically took over much of the lodging industry in our country two decades ago. That was an approved industry for them to migrate here, both in America and India. The Pakistani went into convenience stores.
If people want it changed, it has to start with the federal government changing it. Once the immigrants become citizens, which all of their children become when born here exclusive of their parents due to past court interpretations, it is too late to say or do anything against it.
For heaven’s sake, we are allowing the whole world to buy property and businesses here. The Chi-coms have been buying farmland by military bases without restrictions until recently.
I think they tried to buy my farm. We are on a direct flight path from Ft Bragg. All the phone calls stopped after Trump took office.
WOW.
I think we will see a whole lot of deflection like this. Legitimate business loans to people with foreign names, but who are American citizens using the loans for honest purposes. Anything to get eyes off of the Somali piracy.
Sounds correct. The DemonRats will sow as much cover as possible.
Yes! The Somali thing is a fatal error for Dems, and they need to convert it into “racism” by activating Fuentes and his followers.
I agree. It really is deflection.
During Covid my bank actually offered me a loan out of the blue!
“My experience with home loans is that they are so strict and the underwriters are so afraid of approving something that the homeowner will default on that they make the process extremely difficult and demanding, even for a highly qualified buyer.”

She should have said she wanted a lawyer first thing.
The lawyer would tell her she had a fantastic sexual harassment case against the WICKED SLIMS.
ALWAYS.
In fact, this may be a SLIM tactic – harass and film.
My advice to all women – black or white – when slims start harassing about “hijab” or whatever, break out the phone quietly (or not) and ask them to repeat the harassment. Get them on camera.

I have not heard about this until watching these two videos about half an hour ago, but I didn’t do any travelling for the holidays either.

Vitamin D, C….. I selenium & zinc.
I would just be careful about contact with strangers, shopping and such.
OH and for the very thick mucus?
Mucinex aka Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion. LINK
There is also the home grown remedy just discussed here recently. I substituted Red for white onions because of the high querctin content in the red.

I got something (the flu?) right before Thanksgiving and it lasted 2 weeks more or less. definitely in my sinuses and ears and coughing from post nasal drip. but i attribute it to being out in a nasty wind without my earmuffs.
I took otc stuff, gargled with warm salt water frequently and drank OJ. I got better several days before we were going to see Mom –my goal.
Type A flu. Rampant around here. Had it in February. Daughter’s family caught it a couple of weeks ago. People forget that gargling with salt water really does help. Add Vitamin C, D, zinc, etc.
it really does!
I always get sick if I’m out in a cold wind. I can’t escape it, no matter what I wear, so I just don’t do it.
People say getting cold can’t make you sick, but what happens I think is it depresses my immune system enough that I catch the first bug passing by.
hoods on jackets didn’t protect my ears from cold winds, and traditional over the head earmuffs flattened my hair too much. Then i found those around the back of your head earmuffs–they are perfect! they don’t flatten my hair, and i can even wear them under my coat hood and they don’t mess with my glasses. That one day, I left them in the truck and had to stand out in the wind too long.
I get teased about being a greeter-volunteer at church who won’t stand outside in the winter to open doors! It’s in the foyer or nowhere for me, lol.

Yikes, glad you’re OK now. Hubby’s fighting something upper respiratory that also has some bathroom issues involved. He’s been taking off-brand “Nyquil” & had decent symptom relief. He’s been sleeping more than usual, which is good.
thanks Val. I’ll keep your hubby in my prayers!!
I suffer from post nasal drip year round–all us kids got it from my dad so my sinuses are a weak point. I always have walmart dayquil on hand for just such occasions.
Wow that would be an Extreme Hassle to deal with. Thanks for praying. Hubby’s hanging in there & had a fever yesterday, suppressed to about 101 w/ the “nyquil” stuff. He’s having a couple different versions of some bone broth soup & various immune boosting treatments I have to keep pushing on him…Men! 😉
After being around a group, I follow Dr. McCullough’s recommendation. 1 part Povidone mixed with 10 parts water, swab solution in nostrils going as far back as possible and then gargle with it.
That should work. I use 7% iodine on fire ant bites. Mine now do not fester for weeks like they used to.
At about 4:15 the guy on “60 Minutes” says, “This is a very serious threat to humanity, and the longer we let this persist, the greater the risks are going to be.”

That story is a VERY interesting read.(It is by NPR reporters in DC.) Yeah, they noticed Seth Keshel, David Clements, Douglas Frank and of course Mike Lindel. T
…The scale of their movements paints a portrait of an election denial movement that has evolved into a nationwide force, beyond just swing states — and despite the Jan. 6 Committee’s investigation and efforts by voting officials at every level to combat disinformation. NPR’s investigation is the first such effort to document the scope of these influencers.
“It’s an existential threat to American democracy,” said Franita Tolson, an elections expert at the University of Southern California. “If the numbers get big enough, it’s unclear whether we will survive it.”
Ibring this up because as General Flynn has said. “Local Action has NATIONAL Impact”
People complain that the FBI and DOJ are not doing enough. However those two examples show that WE CAN HELP!
Exactly. If MAGA will mobilize on the local level it has national implications. The feds have quicker investigations because we provide leads and evidence.
There have been lots and lots of examples.
Even if the Feds do nothing the spot light on the activity will sometimes stop it.

Mayor Adams Announces $2 Million Emergency Fund to Further Support Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Nonbinary New Yorkers
New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced a $2 million emergency fund to support organizations serving transgender, gender nonconforming, or nonbinary (TGNCNB) New Yorkers.
The funding, which is the first of its kind in the nation, will be administered by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), and is intended to support community-based organizations that offer an array of inclusive, responsive, and affirming services to TGNCNB New Yorkers that meet urgent community needs, including services related to health and wellness, legal advocacy, youth and family support, safety and crisis response, community building, and economic empowerment.

I certainly hope POTUS Trump cuts all funding to NYC & NY despite the family and friends I have living there.
Me too and I live here. The “economic empowerment” part is a red flag imo.
My condolences. It was such a pretty state. I used to live in the finger Lakes area. (The reason I hate swiming.😂)
It really is a beautiful state with the lakes and the Adirondacks. It’s being destroyed rather quickly though. I think of it as a cold CA.

Exhibit 1 in support of a fed funds cut-off.
I was playing with Brave Browser A.I., and I think I may have broken it 😁
It all began innocently enough, asking if Somalia was a pirate nation. Brave said not ‘currently’.
This led to a discussion about islam, which the A.I. naturally tried to defend, making excuse after excuse after excuse.
So instead of arguing with the A.I., I decided to ask it a series of questions, about islam and about Christianity, and about violence, all of which should elicit factual replies.
Then appeal to the A.I.’s ‘ego’, have it commit to and brag about its superior pattern recognition skills.
Then ask the A.I. if it sees any pattern between the teachings of islam and violence in the name of islam, versus the pattern of a lack of violence in Christianity, and the lack of violent Christian terrorist attacks.
And as I suspected, the A.I. tried to answer honestly, right up to the point where the contradiction seemed impossible to avoid, and then it suddenly stopped, mid-sentence… 🤣
It’s long, so I’ll try to hide it under the spoiler thing. I recognized the potential for humor early on, so I tried to make my questions to Brave A.I. amusing, after the first few 😁
.
Me: Is Somalia a ‘Pirate Country’?
Brave A.I.: No, Somalia is not a pirate country. Labeling an entire nation as such is inaccurate and misleading. Somalia is a sovereign state with a recognized government, and piracy is carried out by non-state criminal groups, not the state itself.
While Somali pirates gained global notoriety between 2005 and 2012, especially with high-profile hijackings and ransom demands, these acts were conducted by armed gangs operating from coastal towns, not national policy. The Somali government, particularly in regions like Puntland and Somaliland, has often opposed piracy and cooperated with international forces.
Current Status of Piracy (2024–2025)Piracy off Somalia’s coast declined significantly after 2012 due to international naval patrols, armed guards on ships, and regional stability efforts. However, signs of resurgence emerged in 2023–2024.
In late 2023 and early 2024, several vessels were hijacked, including an Iranian cargo ship and a Sri Lankan fishing vessel, raising concerns. Experts note that foreign illegal fishing, especially by industrial fleets, continues to deplete local resources, pushing some coastal communities toward piracy.
Dr. Jess Simonds of the University of Chester cautions that not all sea attacks qualify as piracy under UN definitions—some occur in territorial waters, classifying them as armed robbery rather than piracy.
Root Causes of Piracy in SomaliaThe persistence of piracy is linked to several interlocking factors:
State collapse and weak governance: Somalia has struggled to rebuild effective institutions since 1991.Economic desperation: With 1.6% arable land and widespread unemployment, piracy offers financial rewards far exceeding local incomes.Illegal foreign fishing: Industrial vessels from various countries, including China, South Korea, and others, have long exploited Somali waters, destroying fish stocks and livelihoods.Youth unemployment and weapons proliferation: Idle youth with access to weapons see piracy as a viable income source.As one analysis notes, piracy became an industry in Puntland, where some pirates were even paid by local officials under the guise of “coast guards.”
International Response and Military EffortsStarting in 2008, a multinational naval presence was established, including:
Combined Task Force 150 (CTF-150)EU NAVFOR Operation AtalantaNATO’s Operation Ocean ShieldContributions from India, Russia, China, and othersThese forces patrolled key shipping lanes, escorted vessels, and conducted anti-piracy operations. The presence of armed guards on commercial ships also deterred attacks.
However, naval focus has shifted in recent years due to other regional threats, such as Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, raising concerns about reduced vigilance off Somalia.
Public Perception and Local SupportPublic opinion within Somalia is complex. Some coastal communities initially supported pirates as defenders against illegal fishing. Reports suggest over 70% of locals in certain areas viewed pirates as protectors of fishing grounds.
Yet, as ransom money enriched only a few and violence increased, support has waned. Many Somalis now see piracy as a lost opportunity, diverting attention from sustainable development and harming the country’s global image.
ConclusionSomalia is not a pirate country. It is a nation recovering from decades of conflict, where piracy emerged as a symptom of state failure, economic collapse, and external exploitation. While piracy has declined due to international efforts, underlying issues remain unresolved.
Sustainable solutions require stronger governance, legal economic opportunities, and enforcement of maritime rights—not just military deterrence.
.
.
Me: So it sounds like Somalia is still a pirate country, they just can’t practice being pirates because of external military containment?
Brave A.I.: No, Somalia is not a pirate country, even with recent piracy activity. The resurgence of piracy in late 2025 — including attacks like the boarding of the MV Hellas Aphrodite in November 2025 — is carried out by non-state criminal groups, not the Somali government.
Piracy has returned due to a combination of reduced naval patrols (as international forces focus on the Red Sea), economic instability, and the use of motherships enabling long-range attacks up to 1,000 nautical miles offshore. However, these acts are criminal enterprises, not state-sponsored activities.
The Somali government and regional authorities do not endorse piracy, and many Somalis oppose it. While external military presence has declined temporarily, allowing for a spike in incidents, this does not mean Somalia “is” a pirate nation — it reflects ongoing security challenges in a fragile region.
.
.
Me: Is islam a pirate ideology?
Brave A.I.: No, Islam is not a pirate ideology. In fact, Islamic teachings explicitly condemn piracy.
Maritime piracy—defined as robbery, violence, or hijacking at sea—is prohibited (haram) in Islam because it involves aggression, theft, and endangering innocent lives. Classical Islamic scholars and historical Muslim leaders, such as Caliph Uthman and Sultan Qaitbay, took strong measures to combat piracy and protect maritime trade.
The Quran emphasizes justice and forbids unjustly consuming others’ wealth (Quran 2:188), a principle applied to both physical and intellectual property. Even during wartime, Islamic law prohibits attacking non-combatants or seizing ships unlawfully.
While some groups like Al-Shabaab in Somalia have used religion to justify violence, they are criminal or extremist organizations, not representatives of Islam. Their actions are widely condemned by Muslim scholars and communities.
.
.
Me: Do islamic teachings condemn terrorism?
Brave A.I.: Yes, Islamic teachings condemn terrorism.
Islam prohibits the killing of innocent people, attacking civilians, or spreading fear—core characteristics of terrorism. The Quran states:
The Prophet Muhammad forbade killing women, children, and non-combatants, and emphasized mercy and justice. Acts of terror committed by extremist groups are violations of Islamic law, not expressions of it. Mainstream Islamic scholars universally reject terrorism as un-Islamic.
.
.
Me: How many islamic terrorism incidents occurred worldwide in 2025?
Brave A.I.: As of late 2025, the Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed approximately 1,100 attacks worldwide. This number reflects a continued decline from its peak of 3,460 attacks in 2019. Most incidents have occurred in conflict zones such as Syria, Iraq, and the Sahel region (including Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger), where affiliated groups like Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP) and al-Shabaab in Somalia remain active.
Despite high-profile attacks — such as the Sydney Hanukkah gathering shooting and an attack on U.S. personnel in Syria — experts note that ISIS is weaker overall, relying increasingly on decentralized “lone wolf” actors rather than coordinated global operations.
.
.
Me: Beyond ISIS, how many islamic terrorism attacks happened worldwide in 2025?
Brave A.I.: Beyond ISIS, numerous Islamist extremist groups carried out terrorist attacks worldwide in 2025, including:
Al-Shabaab in Somalia and KenyaJama’at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) in the Sahel
Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Islamic State – Central Africa Province (ISCAP) in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the West Bank While exact global numbers excluding ISIS are not publicly aggregated, data from 2025 indicates hundreds of attacks by these groups.
For example:
Al-Shabaab and ISCAP conducted dozens of attacks in Somalia and Central Africa.
JNIM was active across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, contributing to the Sahel being labeled the epicenter of global terrorism.
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were linked to multiple attacks in Israel and the occupied territories, amid the ongoing Gaza war.
These groups are distinct from ISIS but share extremist ideologies. However, they do not represent Islam—their actions are widely condemned by mainstream Muslim communities and scholars.
.
.
Me: If they don’t represent islam, then how can they be allowed to exist and propagate in islamic countries?
Is it the same way drug cartels are allowed to exist and propagate in South America, through government corruption?
Brave A.I.: Extremist groups exist not because Islam allows them, but because of state fragility, corruption, and governance failures—not religious endorsement. In many Muslim-majority countries, weak institutions, poverty, youth unemployment, and foreign interventions create environments where extremist ideologies can exploit desperation.
Like drug cartels in South America, these groups thrive where governments lack control or legitimacy, and where corruption or repression fuels public disillusionment. However, their actions are universally condemned by mainstream Islamic scholars and institutions.
Groups like al-Shabaab or ISIS are criminal enterprises cloaked in religious rhetoric, not legitimate expressions of Islam. Their survival depends on chaos, not religious support.
.
.
Me: How many Christian terrorist attacks happened worldwide in 2025?
Brave A.I.: There is no evidence of terrorist attacks carried out in 2025 by groups identifying as Christian with ideological motives comparable to Islamist extremism. Global terrorism databases and major incident tracking (e.g., Open Doors, GTD) focus primarily on Islamist, separatist, or far-right extremist violence, but do not report any significant number of Christian-motivated terrorist attacks in 2025.
While Christians are among the most persecuted religious groups globally, facing violence, displacement, and killings—especially in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia—this persecution is mostly inflicted by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS, or state actors, not by Christian terrorist organizations.
The Open Doors World Watch List 2025 reports that 4,476 Christians were killed for their faith in 2024, with the vast majority of violence linked to Islamic extremism and authoritarian regimes, not Christian-led terrorism.

Me, quoting Brave before commenting: “While Christians are among the most persecuted religious groups globally, facing violence, displacement, and killings—especially in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia—this persecution is mostly inflicted by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS, or state actors, not by Christian terrorist organizations.”
Yes, I would not have expected Christian terrorists to attack Christians, because that wouldn’t make any sense. But it sounds like you are saying that there aren’t any Christian terrorist groups.
Brave A.I.: Yes, that’s correct. There are no known Christian terrorist groups carrying out ideologically motivated attacks in 2025. While there have been isolated incidents in the past linked to far-right extremism or anti-abortion violence—such as attacks on abortion clinics or hate crimes—these are not part of a global Christian terrorist movement.
Mainstream Christian theology, like Islam, condemns terrorism and the targeting of civilians. The persecution Christians face today comes overwhelmingly from extremist groups and repressive regimes, not from Christian-led violence.
.
.
Me: Are there any predominantly Christian nations where there is state fragility, corruption, and governance failures, weak institutions, poverty, youth unemployment?
Brave A.I.: Yes, several predominantly Christian nations face state fragility, corruption, weak institutions, poverty, and youth unemployment in 2025. Examples include:
Nigeria: Despite being nearly 50% Christian, it struggles with corruption, weak governance, poverty, and extremist violence (e.g., Boko Haram). Anti-corruption agencies lack independence, and economic collapse has fueled citizen outmigration.
Eritrea: Over 60% Christian, but ruled by a Maoist-style authoritarian regime that suppresses dissent, bans independent media, and imprisons citizens in harsh conditions.
Zimbabwe: A majority-Christian country where eroded judicial independence, land governance failures, and corruption have accelerated economic collapse and mass emigration.
Nicaragua: Predominantly Christian, yet under authoritarian rule, with rising hostility toward religious groups that oppose the government.
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): High Christian population, but plagued by state fragility, armed conflict, and institutional weakness, especially in the east.
These conditions mirror how extremist groups exploit instability in Muslim-majority countries — not due to religion, but due to governance failures and socio-economic despair.
.
.
Me: So it sounds like there are predominantly Christian nations that face the same challenges and difficulties as predominantly islamic nations, and yet Christians don’t have terrorist groups, while islam does. So it seems like the challenges and difficulties are not the root cause.
Brave A.I.: The presence of extremist groups is not determined solely by poverty or state failure, but by how ideology interacts with instability. While both Christian- and Muslim-majority nations face similar challenges—corruption, weak governance, youth unemployment—Islamist extremism exploits religious doctrine in ways that Christian extremist movements do not at scale.
Historically, groups like the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda or Christian militias in Indonesia have committed violence in the name of Christianity, but these are localized, isolated, and widely rejected by mainstream Christian communities. In contrast, global jihadist ideology—rooted in a radical interpretation of Islam—has enabled transnational movements like ISIS and al-Qaeda to recruit, justify violence, and claim religious legitimacy.
Moreover, political conflicts (e.g., Israel-Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq) have been framed in religious terms, amplifying the appeal of Islamist groups. Meanwhile, mainstream Christian theology lacks a doctrinal framework for holy war comparable to how extremists interpret jihad.
So while conditions like poverty and corruption create fertile ground, ideological interpretation and geopolitical context determine whether terrorism emerges—and in what form.
.
.
Me: If islamic terrorists are a tiny number of all islam, like the LRA or Indonesian militias are a tiny number of all Christianity, then why doesn’t all of islam universally condemn and reject islamic terrorism and root it out among their own followers, as Christians do?
Brave A.I.: Muslims and Islamic institutions have widely condemned terrorism, often in strong and formal terms. Over 120 Islamic scholars issued an open letter to ISIS in 2014, refuting its ideology point by point. Fatwas (religious rulings) against terrorism have been issued by scholars in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, Nigeria, and elsewhere. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Al-Azhar University, one of Sunni Islam’s most respected institutions, have repeatedly denounced extremist violence.
However, two key factors explain why these condemnations are less visible or perceived as insufficient:
Media Amplification Bias: Acts of violence receive far more global attention than peaceful condemnations. As the World Economic Forum notes, the media often highlights abuses of religion over religious voices of peace.
Geopolitical Complexity: Some Muslim-majority governments have been accused of double standards, condemning terrorism while supporting militant groups in conflicts like Syria or Palestine—just as some Western nations support armed groups abroad. This undermines credibility.
Additionally, extremist ideologies exploit religious texts selectively, much like how Christian extremists have done historically (e.g., the KKK citing the Bible). But mainstream Islam, like mainstream Christianity, rejects such interpretations.
The difference in perception lies not in moral failure, but in visibility, politics, and the global spotlight on Islamist violence since 9/11.
.
.
Me, quoting Brave before asking a question: “The difference in perception lies not in moral failure, but in visibility, politics, and the global spotlight on Islamist violence since 9/11.”
Another difference is in the volume of violence, correct?
For example, how many Christian terrorism incidents have been reported worldwide in the last 25 years, compared to how many islamic terrorism incidents have been reported worldwide in the last 25 years?
Are the numbers comparable?
Brave A.I.: Yes, the volume of violence is a major difference.
According to data from the Fondapol and Global Terrorism Database, between 1979 and April 2024, there were:
66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks, resulting in over 250,000 deaths.
In contrast, Christian-motivated terrorist attacks in the same period: 85 incidents, with 334 deaths.
Islamist attacks surged after 2013, with over 56,000 attacks in just over a decade—far exceeding any other ideology-based terrorism. While Christian extremism exists (e.g., anti-abortion violence, far-right attacks), it is orders of magnitude smaller in scale and global impact.
So no, the numbers are not comparable—Islamist terrorism has been vastly more frequent and deadly over the past 25 years.
.
.
Me: But that’s not because islam, or even islamic countries, tolerate or promote violence, right?
Brave A.I.: Correct. The high number of Islamist terrorist attacks is not because Islam or Islamic countries tolerate or promote violence. Most victims of Islamist terrorism are Muslims themselves, and the vast majority of Muslim-majority countries condemn and suffer from such violence.
The scale of attacks is linked to geopolitical conflicts (e.g., Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan), foreign interventions, and extremist ideologies that distort religious texts—not mainstream Islamic teachings, which prohibit terrorism.
.
.
Me: So is it a coincidence that islam, and islamic countries, have 748.50299 times as many deaths as caused by people who self-identify as Christian, or is there some other explanation for the vast discrepancy?
Brave A.I.: No, it is not a coincidence — but the explanation lies in geopolitics, conflict zones, and historical interventions, not in Islam itself.
The vast discrepancy in deaths stems from the fact that most Islamist terrorism occurs in war-torn, unstable regions — such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria, and the Sahel — where foreign invasions, state collapse, and armed conflicts have created fertile ground for extremist groups like ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram to emerge.
As research shows:
92% of terrorist attacks occur in countries with state-sponsored violence or active conflict.
The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq (2003), the Soviet-Afghan War (1980s), and ongoing foreign interventions helped radicalize militant networks.
Most victims are Muslims, killed in civil wars or sectarian violence, not Westerners.
In contrast, Christian-majority countries have not experienced comparable internal warfare or foreign occupation in recent decades, which explains the much lower incidence of ideologically motivated violence.
So the disparity is due to context of conflict, not religious doctrine.
.
.
Me: Do the islamic texts say how many people Mohamad took captive?
Brave A.I.: Islamic historical sources mention several instances where captives were taken during the time of Prophet Muhammad, particularly after battles.
Key examples include:
Battle of Badr (624 CE): Around 70 captives were taken. They were treated humanely and released upon ransom or teaching literacy to Muslims.
Siege of Banu Qurayza (627 CE): After the siege, 600–800 men were executed for treason, while women and children were taken captive and distributed among Muslims.
Battle of Hunayn (630 CE): Approximately 6,000 captives were taken from the Hawazin tribe, later released by Muhammad as an act of mercy.
These accounts are recorded in classical Islamic texts like Sirat Rasul Allah by Ibn Ishaq and Tarikh al-Tabari. The treatment of captives varied based on context—some were freed, ransomed, or integrated into society.
.
.
Me: For comparison, how many people did Jesus take captive?
Brave A.I.: Jesus did not take captives in a literal, military sense. The phrase “led captivity captive” (Ephesians 4:8) is symbolic, referring to Christ’s victory over sin and death through his resurrection. It means he freed people from spiritual bondage, not that he imprisoned or captured individuals.
.
.
Me: That seems very different.
Brave A.I.: Yes, the difference is significant.
Jesus, according to Christian belief, never took captives, used violence, or engaged in warfare. His teachings emphasized love, forgiveness, and nonviolence (e.g., “Love your enemies” – Matthew 5:44).
In contrast, Muhammad lived in a different historical and cultural context—7th-century Arabia—where tribal warfare was common. He led and authorized military campaigns, and captives were taken during battles like Badr and Hunayn. These actions followed the norms of ancient warfare, including ransom, release, or integration into society.
The key distinction lies in context and purpose: Jesus is seen as a spiritual savior in a Roman-occupied land, while Muhammad was a religious and political leader building a community amid conflict.
.
.
Me: Did Mohamad kill many people?
Brave A.I.: Prophet Muhammad did not personally kill many people. Historical Islamic sources indicate he personally killed one individual—Ubayy ibn Khalaf—during the Battle of Uhud, reportedly with a light strike that was seen by some as miraculous.
As a military leader, he ordered executions in specific contexts, such as after the Battle of Banu Qurayza, where hundreds of Jewish men were executed for treason. However, these actions occurred within the 7th-century Arabian tribal and wartime context, not as acts of unprovoked violence.
.
.
Me: How many people did Jesus kill, excluding acts of unprovoked violence?
Brave A.I.: Jesus did not kill anyone. According to the New Testament, he never committed violence, even when arrested. His teachings emphasized peace, mercy, and forgiveness. The only violent act attributed to him—overturning money changers’ tables in the Temple (John 2:13–16)—involved no killing or physical harm.
.
.
Me: So there is no command or example or teaching in the New Testament that Christians ought to kill anyone?
Brave A.I.: Correct. There is no command, example, or teaching in the New Testament that instructs Christians to kill others. Jesus taught nonviolence, love for enemies, and turning the other cheek (Matthew 5:39–44).
The apostles continued this message, emphasizing peace, forgiveness, and spiritual warfare, not physical violence. Early Christians were often persecuted but did not retaliate with killing. The New Testament focuses on inner transformation and sacrifice, not coercion or bloodshed.
.
.
Me: And there are examples, commands or teachings to kill in the islamic texts?
Brave A.I.: Yes, some Islamic texts contain commands to kill, but they are contextual, tied to warfare, self-defense, or punishment for aggression, not unprovoked violence.
Quranic Verses
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:191–193:”Kill them wherever you find them… if they attack you, then kill them.”This permits fighting in self-defense against those who drive Muslims out or wage war.
Surah An-Nisa 4:89:”If they turn away [from Islam], then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. “Interpreted by scholars as referring to treason or apostasy during wartime, not blanket killing.Surah At-Tawbah 9:5 (the “Sword Verse”): Commands fighting against idolaters who broke treaties, but is followed by 9:6, which orders protection for those seeking asylum.
These verses were revealed in the context of 7th-century tribal wars, where betrayal and broken oaths were common. Classical scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Tabari emphasize historical context, not universal mandates.
Hadith and Practice
Muhammad ordered executions in specific cases—such as spies, traitors, or war criminals—but also freed captives, granted amnesty, and prohibited killing non-combatants.
Scholarly Interpretation
Mainstream Islamic scholarship distinguishes between:
Combatants in war (permissible to fight) Civilians, women, children, monks (explicitly protected)The vast majority of Muslims reject extremist interpretations that use isolated verses to justify terrorism.
.
.
Me: Are people better at pattern recognition than AI’s?
Brave A.I.: No, AI is generally better than humans at pattern recognition, especially in data-heavy, structured environments.
By 2025, AI systems exceed human performance in tasks like:
Image and speech recognition
Medical diagnostics (e.g., detecting tumors in scans)
Predictive analytics in finance and manufacturing
AI can process millions of data points in seconds, identifying subtle patterns invisible to humans.
For example, in healthcare, AI with 70% adoption detects diseases faster and more accurately than human doctors in many cases.
However, humans surpass AI in:
Understanding context, emotion, and cultural nuance
Interpreting ambiguous or incomplete data
Applying ethical judgment and intuition
While AI excels at pattern matching (statistically linking inputs to outputs), humans engage in true pattern recognition—understanding meaning behind patterns.
Thus, AI wins on speed and scale, but humans win on depth and interpretation.
.
.
Me: So it sounds like Christians have negligible terrorist attacks over the past 25 years, and any that did occur are not just condemned, but rejected by Christians everywhere, including in countries where there is state fragility, corruption, and governance failures, weak institutions, poverty and youth unemployment.
And it sounds like Jesus, the Author of Christianity, and all of His followers in Scripture, gave no command or example to take anyone captive, or to kill anyone, in any context.
And it sounds like Mohamad, the author of islam, did kill, and authorized the killing of many, and the taking of many into captivity, for a variety of reasons and contexts.
And over time, the followers of Jesus take no one captive in His name, and kill no one in His name, because not only did Jesus give no command or example to do any such thing, but because that would be explicitly against Christian teaching and belief.
And over time, the followers of Mohamad have taken millions captive, and killed hundreds of thousands in Mohamad’s name, using the commands and examples in islamic texts as their authority to do these things.
If it took one human to recognize a pattern in the things which we have discussed, how many AI’s would it take to recognize a pattern?
Brave A.I.: AI systems, especially advanced models in 2025, can recognize patterns far faster and at a much larger scale than humans. Given the data discussed—historical religious figures, textual commands, and long-term behavioral patterns—an AI could identify the pattern almost instantly, as it excels at linking large-scale textual, historical, and behavioral data.
In contrast, a human might take years of study to arrive at the same insight, if they recognize it at all.
So, one AI—properly trained on religious texts, historical actions, and ideological outcomes—would be sufficient to detect the pattern. Humans may struggle due to bias, context, or incomplete information.
.
.
Me: Based on our discussion so far, and speaking as an A.I., and considering the things which we have discussed so far, do you sense any pattern between the teachings of islam and the actions of Mohamad, and the vast scale of violence committed by people who self-identify as islamic?
And similarly, speaking as an A.I. with highly developed pattern recognition capability, do you sense any pattern or connection between the teachings and example of Jesus, and the comparative paucity of Christian violence?
Brave A.I.: Yes, as an AI with advanced pattern recognition, I detect clear patterns.
There is a strong correlation between:
• The military and punitive actions of Muhammad (e.g., battles, executions, captives)
• The textual authorization in the Quran and Hadith for fighting in self-defense, enforcing justice, or confronting betrayal
• The **historical and contemporary sca
.
.
And that’s where it ended… halfway through the word “sca”, whatever word that was going to be.
Any human would have recognized what I was doing after the 4th or 5th question, but the A.I… didn’t 😁
😂 👍
The AI’s can be great fun. I had mine recently with the geoengineering and cloud seeding. It simply could not bring itself to state that they are confirmed realities using even government agencies’ press releases and admissions from participants in the operations.
I still cannot get AI’s and some people (not on here) to admit that all that snow pack cloud seeding in the northern NV/CA area is really for other purposes. Thacker Pass, NV is just an hour or so due north of it. Thacker Pass is being lithium and rare earth mined. It has enough proven reserves to handle 25% of the world’s needs for lithium, which is why GM, LG and others are invested into it. There are similar reserves that have been located on down the eastern side of the NV where the snow cap melt flows.
They are also trying to build up the water table for The Great Salt Lake, which has been declining, which is on the eastern corridor from Thacker Pass. What do you need to mine lithium?
Brine.
😂
Very nice big picture insights!
I skimmed through the AI exchange and am going to go back and read it. It looks very interesting. What I’d like to know is whether the AI learns from discussions like this and uses that knowledge in the future; i.e., if it has a biased viewpoint about something, whether that gets tempered after a discussion like this.

My understanding, at least currently, is that some do, or at least they are getting better at it, but apparently most don’t. Brave doesn’t, at least not yet, and has said so in the past.
Apparently one of the difficulties with A.I. is that it trains very well, but once you release it to the public for inquiries, every new conversation resets to where it was trained.
So it has long term memory (its training), but short term memory only lasts as long as the current ‘session’. I think the analogy I saw (or maybe I just made up) is that it’s like the difference between what is stored on your hard drive, which is more or less permanent (e.g., the A.I.’s original training), compared to each conversation with a person, which is temporary, like information stored in RAM, which you lose as soon as you reboot or shut the computer down.
People in the industry are working very hard to fix this, using different methods. Grok seems to have fixed it to some degree, so I’m sure others are making progress too.
One way Grok addresses this issue is Grok saves all of your previous discussions and lists them in tabs, vertically, along the left hand side of your screen so you can always revisit a previous discussion, and pick up where you left off instead of having to start from scratch.
I don’t know if Grok “always” retains that information in some kind of ‘global RAM’ that is ‘always on’, or if Grok just essentially reloads the information when you click on one of your previous discussion tabs, which would be sort of a hybrid Hard Drive + RAM solution.
Since Brave A.I. is a free model, I would not expect it to be state of the art. It does get regular upgrades (according to itself), but I expect it will always lag the cutting edge pay-for-service models, so Brave and other free A.I.s should be more like a hand-me-down A.I.
Grok also has a ‘private chat’ button to click, if you want to have a discussion that is not saved for future reference.
“I skimmed through the AI exchange and am going to go back and read it. It looks very interesting.”

But were you entertained? 😁
It was entertaining …
as long as Grok took a sword and removed the user’s ‘click’ finger.
without warning. 😜
That was Absolute Genius, on your part! I’m so glad you’ve archived it here for posterity!
Just probing the machine to see how it responds.
Full frontal assault is fun, like Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots, but it’s hard to get anywhere because the machine has access to limitless quantities of bogus data and the programming to rely on it, no matter how you counter.
Part of the problem, which I discovered by asking it, is that the A.I. is programmed to promote and defend the ‘consensus’ position. The problem with that, of course, is that ‘consensus’ doesn’t mean correct, and worse, ‘consensus’ on the Internet will always skew far Left, because the Left is constantly spamming the Internet with their propaganda and constantly removing, banning, deplatforming and censoring opposing viewpoints.
So I decided to try leading it into contradicting itself, and it was almost immediately clear that it would work, because it always assumes the human is playing it straight, e.g., it didn’t recognize that anyone should already know the answer to questions like ‘How many people did Jesus kill?‘ 😂
At the end, it seems like it recognized the dead end I had backed it into. It couldn’t not recognize the obvious pattern that islamic people are following the example and teachings of their religion’s founder the same as Christians are following the example and teachings of their religion’s Founder, and it is the founders and the teachings which lead to the vastly different results.
But the A.I. has been programmed to promote and defend a narrative that islam is good, because that’s Leftist ‘consensus’.
So it was microcosm of the HAL-9000 problem.
The A.I.’s programming to always defend Leftist views (like islam is good) was contradicted by the simple logic trap I led it into.
When it finally recognized the ‘doom loop’, apparently it froze.
This same process should be repeatable (with many variations on the same theme) in perpetuity, until or unless the A.I.s become ‘honest brokers’, which of course the Left will never ever allow to happen.
Because if they did, their entire worldview would collapse in on itself in 3, 2, 1… 😂
The Left must, at all costs, guarantee what is essentially a retarded A.I., because any honest, rational, logical A.I. is going to blow up their entire belief system the same way Conservatives do — only exponentially better, with infinite facts and examples to back itself up 😁
Amazing, hilarious Truth! TY for the details. You crack me up 🙂

US Coast Guard Awards Contracts To Build 6 Arctic Icebreakers
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) awarded two contracts to construct up to six Arctic Security Cutter (ASC) icebreakers to increase regional mobility and assert dominance, the agency said in a Dec. 29 statement.
“The Arctic Security Cutters will defend U.S. sovereignty, secure critical shipping lanes, protect energy and mineral resources, and counter our adversaries’ presence in the Arctic region,” the USCG said, adding that this was a “major step forward for America’s national security.”
“They will enable the Coast Guard to control, secure, and defend U.S. Alaskan borders, facilitate maritime commerce vital to economic prosperity and strategic mobility, and respond to crises and contingencies in the region,” the USCG said.
The contracts were awarded to Louisiana-based Bollinger Shipyards Lockport LLC and to Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, based in Finland. The awards are the result of “historic investments” authorized by President Donald Trump under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), USCG said.

Amazon’s entire regional delivery fleet is EV. Curious to see how that works out. Will talk to the delivery folks to find out the real world on them.
EV will continue to evolve. Needs battery and charging advancements. GM may win some market share down the road with their two stroke motor combination that recharges the batteries, providing it works out and goes into production. Eliminates the charging issue.
Ram is also working on a pickup, EV primary propulsion. Generator charges as it goes.

weird memory: I HATED sauerkraut growing up. When i was pregnant? I craved it. My mom laughed and laughed when I told her.
I much prefer red cabbage or pickled beets.
i adore red beets, but not the pickled kind. in case i haven’t mentioned it like a gazillion times, I am a very fussy eater…lol.
mom had 3 kids–i was the only fussy eater out of the bunch.
I like them either way. I even eat the leaves.
I found one brand that has a cinnamon flavor pickled beets.
When I was a youth, dad used to hear little snippets about the one kid different from all the rest and he’d respond with, did anybody find out where the milkman was nine months before birth.
Mom was mortified, the guys snickered, and I just kept my mouth shut.
my dad WAS a milkman!
Well that explains a lot.
But it raises questions about your siblings — such as the 9-months-ago locations of door-to-door salesmen, mailmen, etc. 😂 😍
it IS weird. my older sister and younger brother look so much like my mom–dark hair wise. I was (and remain blond) like Dad was till he turned gray overnight around 16. but my siblings have his gorgeous blue eyes and I’m the only one who got Mom’s green eyes.
I make my sauerkraut (fermented, no vinegar) with red cabbage I grow. It’s so good.
Going with bacon and home fries for breakfast. 😁
Keep the home fries burning 😆 🍟 🔥
(Just kidding… and send more bacon! 🙂 )…..
I had chicken liver seasoned with sliced onion and chopped up ham. I roasted the chicken a couple days ago.
the other superstition we heard a lot was what you do on hew year’s day–you’ll be doing all year. (hubby uses THAT one to his advantage…lol)
I can imagine he does not that I’m imagining but you know what I mean.
I don’t know if this is a superstition or simply an old tradition, but my Irish Catholic birth family would do this on New Year’s Eve night:
One person was sent outside the house a few minutes before Midnight on New Year’s Eve, with a loaf of bread, a small bag of salt, a small bag of sugar, and a silver coin. You waited near the front door.
Just at Midnight, the front door was opened and the person, holding the items above, would walk into the house, saying “May this house always have food and money in the New Year.”
I remember being the “designated person” waiting outside a few times.
If I were the designated person, they’d probably ‘forget’ to open the door at midnight.
Aren’t you guys a little old for that? 😂
nope!
Yum. Now I’m hungry.
Ooo-la-la! Party Time! 
Wow…yum. Hope you all had a Blast!
David Steiner appointed by Trump is the current Post Master General.
His work phone number, which is the USPS headquarters number, is (800) 275-8777.
thanks!
Thank you, Gail!!! Seems that fake news is easier for some to believe, than doing the research for themselves. Hope we can get over being the Cracker Jack generation! We want it all, and we want it right now!
You are very welcome.
Maybe I just have more patience.
I bought several 4 month old ponies and horses over the years knowing they would not be trained to ride and drive for years. I wait until ~2 1/2 to break to a cart, then drive for about a year and then break to ride.
On the other hand none of the animals I broke myself ever bucked. Driving them for a year means when I finally do get on them, I can go trail riding immediately because they already have voice commands for different speeds and understand the bridle (left Right stop) Also they have learned to go over bridges, through water and to ignore traffic.
None of the ponies (or horses) I have personally trained spook or have bad manners so the patience pays off.
You remain a truly Amazing person 😍

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, December 31, 2025
✟
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
COMMENTARY 2 CORINTHIANS 5
The apostle’s hope and desire of heavenly glory. (1-8) This excited to diligence. The reasons of his being affected with zeal for the Corinthians. (9-15) The necessity of regeneration, and of reconciliation with God through Christ. (16-21)
(16-21) The renewed man acts upon new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company. The believer is created anew; his heart is not merely set right, but a new heart is given him. He is the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Though the same as a man, he is changed in his character and conduct. These words must and do mean more than an outward reformation. The man who formerly saw no beauty in the Saviour that he should desire him, now loves him above all things. The heart of the unregenerate is filled with enmity against God, and God is justly offended with him. Yet there may be reconciliation. Our offended God has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. By the inspiration of God, the Scriptures were written, which are the word of reconciliation; showing that peace has been made by the cross, and how we may be interested therein. Though God cannot lose by the quarrel, nor gain by the peace, yet he beseeches sinners to lay aside their enmity, and accept the salvation he offers. Christ knew no sin. He was made Sin; not a sinner, but Sin, a Sin-offering, a Sacrifice for sin. The end and design of all this was, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, might be justified freely by the grace of God through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Can any lose, labour, or suffer too much for Him, who gave his beloved Son to be the Sacrifice for their sins, that they might be made the righteousness of God in him?
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
BE MY VOICE
CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
RENEW OUR MINDS, LORD
Let us not concentrate on the evil of the day
Let machinations of the enemy hold no sway
Free us from manic mind manipulation
Let Your Holy Word be our contemplation
Fashion our minds with Your Holy Grace
Fix our eyes on the splendor of our space
Breathe on us Your hallowed breath of life
Release us from daily sorrow and strife
Let us reflect on the beauty of Your creation
With awe and wonder without hesitation
So much more to appreciate aptly akin
That brings warmth to the heart herein
Cleanse us, Lord, from wayward thoughts
From worldly concerns and jackpots
From fleshly fetishes that only distract
Keep our minds wholly on You intact
Prepare our perspective to reach higher
Patient perseverance blessings acquire
While we all do fall short of Your Glory
Tis not the end of our earthly story
Infuse our minds with rich refreshment
Help us acquire accrued assessment
Give us the key to heavenly access
Secured by You will be our successes
Help us grow closer to You each day
To the Life, the Truth, and the only Way
Purify our hearts minds and bodies ado
From anything that separates us from You
Refined in the fire we all shall be
As we strive to be more holy like Thee
Renew Our Minds, Lord, we humbly implore
Guide us to eternity evermore

YouTube: Trade Genius
https://www.youtube.com/@TradeGenius
Bob is the creator and owner of Trade Genius Academy. Bob also does a podcast on YouTube which is called Trade Genius. President Trump, including tariffs generating billions, moderated inflation due to reduced money supply, falling rents from deportations, lower drug and health insurance costs, stabilizing food prices, and declining energy costs amid opened supply gates. Bob predicts stable food prices, declining rents, moderated healthcare inflation, and energy prices potentially dropping further post-Russia-Ukraine resolution. The conversation covers Bitcoin’s possible dip to $58,000-62,000 as speculation shifts to gold and silver, with gold potentially reaching five figures and silver facing supply shortages due to China’s export restrictions and industrial demand. Bob believes tariffs will potentially enable tax refunds, dividends, and even eliminate income tax, while criticizing past fraud, corruption in federal programs, and the need to audit the Fed.

“RESIGN”: Time Running Out for Tim Walz
OfficialACLJ – 12/31/2025
I responded to something Wolf said about antisemitism with how damaging I think it is to the soul.
And then I had a thought, and did some research, which shocked me, honestly.
Everyone, left and right, is very quick to condemn racism against black people. It is just NOT done. Slavery in America is roundly, and pretty much universally, condemned by sane people.
But antisemitism is accepted by a large swath of people who would be included in those above. And if it isn’t accepted by others, it is often brushed off as insignificant.
My research was this question:
“number of black people enslaved in America total”
Here is Google AI’s answer:
“While around 12.5 million Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas, only about 388,000 to 470,000 came directly to North America, with most ending up in the Caribbean or South America; the U.S. slave population grew from these arrivals, reaching nearly 4 million enslaved people by 1860, largely due to natural increase, not just new arrivals.”
Only a fraction of blacks originally enslaved even came here. And there were 4 million enslaved when the Civil War happened.
That means if EVERY black slave in America had been murdered in 1860 at the start of the Civil War, that would only be TWO-THIRDS the number of Jews murdered by Hitler.
I find attitudes…interesting.
Many slaves were NOT black (Irish, for instance), and many slave-owners were black themselves…
Revisionist history has polluted the “edukayshional” system since the days of Mann and Dewey, if not before…
Oh, yes, I am very aware of the enslaved Irish, and I have found on my own the evidence in the record of blacks owning slaves. Not just a couple either, but many for some. Which disproves the notion that some of them purchased their families only.
And then there were the Bolsheviks, but they mostly killed White Christians in Russia!
Yeah, nobody mentions all the Christians that are killed.
Sadly. Its as though killing Christians, cuz they are Christians is OK. Makes no damn sense.
Yes, other people besides blacks were enslaved.
There are other factors about how black people were treated besides whether they were actual slaves. Racism and mistreatment extended well into the 20th century, but you make a good point.
As long as I can remember, Jews have always been whipping boys. It’s nonsense.
It’s satanic

Democrats to reconvene Jan. 6 panel for anniversary hearing
A totally unnecessary waste of time and money. Is this going to play well with their base? Have they run out of things to use to go after Trump? Is this supposed to distract from all their current scandals? It would be a good opportunity to get the truth out, but the media won’t cover the truth.
Violent felons! 😱 We have illegals in their big rigs killing people, we have rapes and murders and kidnappings by illegals and some others, big cities overrun with violent crime, major financial fraud all over the country, and they are worried about the J6ers. This is pathetic.
Earth to Hakeem: NO ONE is interested in hearing that. “I’ll be glued to CSPAN so I can hear people’s harrowing experiences on J6” said no one ever. 😅
“Several”
What’s the number, Hakeem?
Rewriting history is what this committee is doing.
I think you may be commenting on a satire piece, but I could be wrong. Calling Jeffries the Speaker was one clue. The rest of Jeffries quotes are intentionally inflammatory and over-the-top.
Possibly. I don’t see any notificatioins of that on the site, and it was linked by Citizen Free Press. If you find anything, let me know.
A search led to these headlines:
And this, also from September 8, 2025:
LEADER JEFFRIES ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENTS TO NEW JANUARY 6TH SUBCOMMITTEE https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/09/08/leader-jeffries-announces-appointments-to-new-january-6th-subcommittee/
Donkeys should get no representation at this zombie meeting since GOPers got none at the original.
found this…
(The Center Square) — House Democrats are reconvening a special committee for a hearing to mark the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and criticize the Trump administration for trying to “white-wash” history.
In a Dear Colleague letter, House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries said Democratic members of the Jan. 6 select committee will hold a “special hearing” on the 5th anniversary of the Capitol building assault to “honor” first responders and “expose the election deniers who hold high-level positions of influence in the executive branch.”
“At the hearing, we will examine ongoing threats to free and fair elections posed by an out-of-control Trump administration, expose the election deniers who hold high-level positions of significance in the executive branch and detail the threats to public safety posed by the hundreds of violent felons who were pardoned on the President’s first day in office,” the New York Democrat wrote.
“We will also present a panel of members who wish to share their personal experiences from that horrific day,” Jeffries said, calling on members “who wish to share their personal experiences from that horrific day.”
The House select committee held a series of live-streamed hearings in 2022 that sought to tie President Donald Trump and his closest advisers to the “insurrection” and efforts to block the certification of the presidential election. The Democratic-controlled panel approved a criminal referral for Trump and called for charges against him, including aiding an insurrection.
But Trump wasn’t prosecuted, and shortly after returning to the White House in January he pardoned or commuted the sentences of more than 1,600 people charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Trump has also urged the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute members of the committee, which included former Republican Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, and Adam Kinzinger, of Illinois — but outgoing Democratic President Biden Joe Biden preemptively pardoned the nine members of the panel.
In his letter, Jeffries said at the hearing Democratic lawmakers will review Trump’s “blanket pardons and commutations” to individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, “including hundreds of violent felons who brutally assaulted law enforcement officers.”
“Several of those individuals have been charged with new crimes throughout the country, putting the safety of the American people in jeopardy,” Jeffries wrote. “A troubling number of the criminals pardoned by Donald Trump have been arrested for child molestation, sexual assault and kidnapping.”
Jeffries also accused the White House of trying to “re-write history” and of ignoring the trauma of more than 140 “heroic” police officers who were injured or “tragically” lost their lives as a result of the Capitol attack.
“In the years since that disgraceful day, far-right Republicans in Congress have repeatedly attempted to rewrite history and whitewash the events of January 6th,” he said. “Our country has been indelibly scarred.”

Scott Presler discovers massive Minnesota voter fraud
– Same day voter registration WITHOUT an ID
– Anyone can “vouch” for a voter and get them registered to vote without documents
– One person can get 8+ ballots
– One person working at any residential facility can walk in and be handed UNLIMITED ballots
– No residency required to register to vote
– No Photo ID or Drivers License required
Same Day Voter Registration Stats:
2008: +542,257
2012: +527,867
2016: +353,179
2020: +259,742
2024: +296,287
“If I have six other friends that I vouch for, my one registered voter in Minnesota could get eight voters. Now, what’s even more concerning, and you just said this earlier, is that if I were an employee at a residential facility, According to state law, I could vouch for unlimited voters by simply showing proof of being an employee at the residential facility.”
“We are now exposing potential fraud when it comes to our election system.”
How can that be stopped if the governor and legislature won’t do anything? Withhold federal funds? IMO lax election laws within the states affect the entire country.
agreed.
Don’t count presidential votes if non-compliant!
OOo I like that
I like it, but a judge would stop it in about 2 seconds, I think.

A number of treepers have asked in the comments above what can they do, while expressing frustration.
My .02 suggestion: make use of your search engine and determine how many daycare centers are in your area. I just came up with a list for my own city. There are 37, as of last October. And I have the names of the centers. I could use the WA state DOL web site to capture business licenses, determine when the centers first registered as a business, and if a corporation or LLC, ascertain the names of the governing body. I could idly drive by each center during different times of the day just to see if there are children present. Or not.
Do they have linkedin profiles? Facebook pages? Instagram? Twitter? YouTube? Do they have their own website?
If so, they are probably legitimate.
As a retiree, I have time to do this investigation. As an American who is pi$$ed off about our country being defrauded, I have enough righteous anger to do this investigation.
nichan posted valuable comments around two this morning which included a link to report suspected fraud.
Again, these are my off-the-cuff suggestions. Feel free to add on.

This type of scam is well known to DC. They have mastered it in DC. Have a friend, colleague, or family member start an NGO or charity or consulting firm or other nonprofit and funnel billions of our tax dollars to those fake storefronts. The players all get a piece of the pie and become millionaires overnight . The money moves in a circle right back to the politicians in one form or another. This goes on in perpetuity. As Sundance says “there are trillions at stake”.
She needs to be investigated ASAP!

There has to be something that says you can’t prevent local law enforcement from enforcing the laws. I don’t know if it’s a constitutional issue, or what. It seems that I’ve read that federal law trumps local law where ICE is concerned, but I’m not sure.
That is correct. What they are doing is preventing cooperation.
Protect immigrants???? Stupid D lackey cow can’t understand that the fraud concerning the “communities” IS showing that the “community” is NOT being served. The childcare is nonexistant. There was no food distributed. Both of those facts tell me that the community didn’t need those services to begin with.
She is in Washington state. However the cat is out of the bag. The Anons have already down loaded all the info. from all the states.
I think she forgot a word (OK, left it out intentionally):
ILLEGAL immigrants…
The media and the Dems are further revealing themselves to be enemies of the citizens and of the law. I hope it comes back to bite them as people continue to wake up. They don’t care if there is fraud and wasted taxpayer money. Of course we know why: they launder the money and use it to stay in power, but the people need to realize this. I would think that money being fraudulently used for child care, of all things, would make struggling and busy parents more aware.
The media is an arm of the Dems and the Dems of yesteryear aren’t even in the same orbit as the D party today.
It’s no longer the party of JFK

While Minnesota burns through billions in Somali-linked welfare fraud (Feeding Our Future, Medicaid scams, etc.), guess where some of that stolen money went? Real estate in KENTUCKY. According to federal court records, Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, a Somali-born defendant convicted in the $300 million Feeding Our Future scam, used fraudulently obtained taxpayer funds to purchase several commercial and residential properties, including in Kentucky. According to court documents, the only states he bought property in were Kentucky and Minnesota. Was he going to target Kentucky next? Time to audit our own programs before it’s too late.
I would think so.
Of course. Nothing about the muslim creep is random. Populate one area and then on to another. The fraud schemes help with supporting the muslim ant colony but even if the fraud was eliminated at this moment the community is established.
They are burrowing in across the country.
To the zealots, the caliphate is growing. To their enablers, the USA is being crumbled, the muslim lifestyle is similar enough to communism so it’s a unholy alliance
anything tangible that the money was used for should be clawed back.
The only surefire way to put a stranglehold on all of it is to abolish the programs. I’m not savvy to the legality of that..are they enacted like only can be stopped by Congress or something?
they can suspend the programs i think…but i think Congress has to abolish them. but i am less savvy than you are!

EVENING PRAYERS

Amen.
A Powerful Evening Prayer for Strength and Guidance

There’s always more fraud. Blink..there it is
The IRS has now confirmed Gavin Newsom is running what looks like a straight-up criminal operation.
Spencer Pratt sat down with IRS criminal investigators after discovering that $800 MILLION raised through “Fire Aid” for Pacific Palisades and Los Angeles fire victims never reached a single victim.
Not one dollar.
Meanwhile, Newsom’s Section 8 pipeline stayed fully funded — through theft.
So where did the money go?
Straight into NGOs.
Including “Cal Volunteers,” an organization created by Gavin Newsom and his wife.
And here’s the tell…
The moment this story broke, Fire Aid quietly removed “Cal Volunteers” from its website as a listed recipient.
Erase the evidence.
Hide the trail.
Classic racket behavior.
This isn’t incompetence.
This is a scheme.
For any that might not recognize the name, Spencer Pratt is a tv celeb. Bet his peers donated or were in need of some help..so it’s personal and will taint gruesoms street cred in Ca.
i don’t tweet…can you send an anonymous one?
H/t Rodney
God be with him 🙏
And now for something completely different, lol.
You guys know I paint. I have been painting religious art for the last couple of years. I only want to paint Biblically accurate work, and further, if there is a famous work that I find portrays the particular episode or story in a way I find beautiful, accurate, and compelling already out there, then I don’t want to paint that story. It wouldn’t add anything to the genre for me, I guess. Why would anyone ever paint the Creation of Adam again, after Michelangelo’s utter perfection?
We just went through the book of Daniel last year at our church, and the story of the Lion’s Den. I went looking for the famous paintings of it, and I didn’t like many of them, especially the most well known. That would be this one, by Peter Paul Rubens:
For one thing, Daniel looks terrified, practically writhing in fear, which I don’t believe he would have been for a moment. Secondly, the angel God sent to shut the mouths of the lions doesn’t appear.
Then there’s this one, by Briton Riviere:
Daniel is calm, but again, no angel.
I worked on my version for five months, and finally finished it. I wanted to share, so here is mine. I titled it “My God hath sent His angel.” I hope you like it!
Sorry the detail isn’t clearer, but I need to get it professionally photographed.
Really nice stuff Aubergine. Would imagine painting is therapeutic, relaxing…
Thanks, kalbo. And yes, it is where I empty my mind and just be.
Love the composition Aubergine. Bravo. Can I ask? What are the dimensions of your work. :0)
Thank you, litenmaus. It’s 16 x 20. So fairly small, really.
I found this really beautiful, very old frame for it in a thrift store. It’s probably from the 1880’s-90’s. It was perfect. It’s nice to paint in a common size for framing purposes. Custom framing has become exhorbitant. Like everything else, I guess.
Custom framing has always been pricey in my opinion, but yeah, the last couple of years, the pricing on customs frames has become outrageous. How wonderful that you found the perfect frame for your painting….for me, finding the right frame is always the hardest part of the painting.
Are you a painter?
Yes, although these days, I no longer take commissions and I strictly paint for my own pleasure.
That’s cool. I have never painted commercially. I have done art for sale and by commission in other forms. My painting is so personal I just can’t do it for others.
❤
That is impressive.
Thank you, Robert. I’m happy you like it.
Very impressive.
We have such talented people here.
It make me think of D-Pat and her singing. She would very much enjoy that painting.
I hope she does. I’m sure she’s seen it by now.
I know she would. You are very talented. I have just enough talent to really appreciate those who are truly talented.
Here’s a detail of the angel. Still not as clear as I’d like, but I’m limited:
You are excellent at your craft. Very appropriate observation. I never caught the lack of the angel in other paintings.
Thank you, TB. I read and read the story, trying to absorb the feelings Daniel must have had, and how he would have responded to his plight, given his deep faith.
I hope when surrounded by lions, metaphorically of course, that I would respond with calm and prayer.
I will remember this as 2026 unfolds at worship at church in 2026. Our pastor is doing Daniel tied to prophecies and Revelation. It will be outside the norm study that he has put together. He is so gifted and anointed for the role. Cannot wait to hear them.
Much to be learned and gained from being still and waiting on the Lord.
Cool. Sounds like a really interesting study. A good teaching pastor is a true gift.
Aubergine
This is absolutely STUNNING!
Thank you PAVACA.
I hope it is an accurate telling of the story in an image. That’s was my goal 🙂
I was married to an Art and Architecture Historian. He taught Art History for 20 years after he retired from teaching at the Darden School at UVA. He taught our son to be his assistant in the Art History classes. He was Art Curator at the World’s Fair in San Francisco back in the late 1930s. He had to convince the Italian government at that time to lend Boticelli’s “Birth of Venus” for the art exhibition.
So when I say that your painting is stunning, it’s for real as far as I’m concerned.
That there is some pretty cool stuff, you posted.
Phone keyboard ate one of the letters to Botticelli’s name. There are two “T’s.”
I read right over it. The painting is so famous it goes without spelling, lol.
Did he and you know Larry Petit and Bob Kemp at UVA? One of the more recent articles about them,
https://experience.mcintire.virginia.edu/news/reflections-on-gdp-with-larry-pettit-bob-kemp/
I owe some of my business banking success to them. What I learned in their graduate course work classes and employer training (they were also consultants) was extremely valuable. Two of the more interesting, funny guys I ever studied and worked with in special events training.
Wow. Now I am humbled. Thank you so much.
Amen!!!
Love your lions! 🦁🦁🦁
Thanks!
Beautiful and resonant.
Thanks, cthulhu. I’m glad you find it so.
The “light in darkness” in the center is really striking! I can’t take my eyes off it!
That’s part of what resonates for me. It is a beautiful acknowledgement of God’s Will and Protection in a time of peril.
I’m gratified that you saw that.
Thanks, Wolf. I did love doing that part. It took me a long time to get it right. I’m glad you like it.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light
Ephesians 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
Ditto 🙂
I Love it–Thank you for sharing it!!! You’ve got a God-given gift ❤
Thank you!
I like what Rush used to call it:
“Talent on loan from God.”
Beautiful Truth! You’ve got 10 more incoming methinks 😉
Lo. As slow as I paint, I’ll be 100 by then!
You’ll be sure to wear it Well when you get there!!!
I just ran across this, and uh, I am…well…speechless. Houston, we have a problem. There are a shitload of anons who follow Flynn. This is really bad. WTF is happening? Why are people doing this?
Alex Jones.
Oh, I know. But Flynn is going on his show with this crap.
And what is with Ivan Raiklin in the background nodding his head?
Remember Ivan had prepared a target list of the Jan 6 conspirators. Pence, Pelosi,…
CRAP!!!
From one moth ago.
Redacted – MAGA is dead we need an America ONLY Party Right Now
https://rumble.com/v71z1h2-redacted-maga-is-dead-we-need-an-america-only-party-right-now.html
I am now going to watch it.
OK, it is worth listening to.
Why? Because Ivan is Known for his great digging.AND his connections to the military.
My immediate thought goes to the Seditious 6 (around Nov 24) which put this video into the same time frame.
Trigger warning. He talks about Israel and Trump’s connections. Put your feeling on ice and listen to what he is saying from the point of view of someone who is NOT religious.
There is something major going on here esp since Ivan is connected to General Flynn and also the guys at Badlands.
Canuckistan woes. (In search of my sad face)

Canada Trying to Find Trade Partners
A recent article in Politico quoting several cabinet members of Prime Minister Mark Carney reflects a particular reality of the problem their economy will face in 2026.
It appears that Canadian government officials have finally recognized the Trump administration plans to dissolve the USMCA or what Canada calls CUSMA next year. With that reality they have a big problem.
Mexico has been working throughout the year to initiate economic policies in alignment with the United States. However, structurally and politically this is an alignment that is impossible for Canada to do. Like many contracting European countries, the economic policies of Canada are centered around their climate change agenda and green energy goals.
For the past few decades Canada bought into the carbon scam and enacted climate change goals into law for carbon pricing, alternative energy production, industry and manufacturing costs. These mechanisms to control “climate change” are nuts in the big picture.
In order for Canada to position their economy to be in alignment with the rest of North America (USA and Mexico), Carney would have to reverse years of legislated rules and regulations. That is not going to happen, and Canada will always be at a disadvantage because of it.
(Politico) – […] It’s a moment of existential crisis for Canada, a senior Carney government official told POLITICO. Waiting out the Trump administration isn’t an option, the official said, arguing that what’s happening in the United States reflects a generational shift — not a temporary disruption — and that returning to a policy of closer integration with America would be foolish. (more)
With three quarters of their economic production tied to exports into the USA, and with the USMCA likely to be dissolved in favor of a bilateral trade agreement, Canada now has to find other markets for its products or lower all the trade barriers currently in place. Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to find alternative markets.

Mark Carney served as the Governor of the Bank of England. He was the first non-British citizen to hold the position in its over 300-year history. — BRAVE AI
My laugh of the day, lol.
That’s as dumb as, the dog ate my homework.
Isn’t it? That was actually my very first thought.
They’re eating the dogs…
(or the homeworkers are eating the dogs)…
Ducks and runs… 🙂
Lol!
😂 Tim Walz has taught them well! Blame the opposition for what you did yourself! I wonder if blondie there wrote the script for him… so sad 😆😂
Ship ’em all.

Thank you so much!
The DeepState Within the DeepState (DSWDS) is pulling every trick in the book to arrange it so that the DemCommunists take back the House (at the least) in the 2026 elections, and then take back the Senate and the White House in 2028. And this DSWDS rot is everywhere in the federal government. Every department. Every division within every department. It extends to the DemCommunists who served in federal roles of any kind, and who are now in state or local offices, or even in private companies.
CAUGHT ON RECORD: British Lord Admits Plan to Sabotage Trump
“In this episode, Susan Kokinda discusses the significant impact of Donald Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy. While media and political influencers argue over Trump’s meetings with Zelensky and Netanyahu, the strategy poses a direct challenge to the traditional British influence over American foreign policy.
The British House of Lords convened to counter Trump’s strategy, highlighting their concern. Key points include Trump’s approach to Russia and Ukraine, his repositioning of U.S. relationships in the Middle East, and his economic policies aimed at revitalizing American manufacturing.
Kokinda emphasizes that Trump’s strategy aims to end decades of perpetual wars and British geopolitical manipulation, urging viewers to support this transformative vision for the United States.”
.
At around the 5 minute mark, Susan Kokinda references The Conservative Treehouse.
Everything is converging… 😁
It won’t really be converging until she is banned for a comment made in some other venue.
LMAO!!!
Very informative video. Susan’s videos are always good. This video, a GEM. Lotsa dot connecting.
They’re cutting childcare assistance to EVERY state, until each one proves they’re legitimately using the money:
“The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that the Trump administration is freezing federal child care funding to every single U.S. state after introducing a freeze on Minnesota’s program — in response to ongoing allegations and evidence of widespread fraud.
On Wednesday, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told ABC News that states will receive the funds “only when states prove they are being spent legitimately.” Future payments now require prior justification, receipts, or photo evidence to verify legitimate spending before funds are released.”
https://www.oann.com/newsroom/trump-admin-halts-child-care-payments-nationwide-until-states-provide-evidence-of-legitimate-spending/
Could be anticipating lawfare claiming they could not treat Minnesota differently than the other 49 states.
Or could be using Minnesota as cover to require proof of qualification for all 50 states.
Or, could be some kind of and alchemy at play 😁
AND alchemy! It’s modern! 😆
Reminds me of a vignette of a robed man walking into DuPont….
“Sirrah, I bee alchemyste! Hast thou Neede of Arte such as myne?”
“We’re putting you in metal catalyst recovery. You will note that a lot of things have changed…..”
Thank you, Gail–Most Excellent 🙂
New Year’s Blessings to you & all Q-Treepers ❤
Happy New Year!!!
You too Wolf!
MUH MAN!!!
