Road To Liberty. (A series)

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

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

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

My bad. Thursday, while recollecting, run ins with snakes, over the years.

I erroneously posted ~20′ snake, a couple doors down and behind our housing unit, Easy Street, Binictican, Subic Bay, Philippines.

Went searching for a picture.

Likely it was this snake.

  • This is a 17-foot long, 175-pound reticulated python. Found in the back yard of Binictican Navy Housing at Naval Station Subic Bay in 1986. This snake was cooked and served at JEST (Jungle Environment Survival Training School) to the staff and family members at a division picnic. When it was cut open, there was a wild pig inside, its last meal.

The snake was caught 1981/82. Above “1986” was either another snake caught at essentially the same location. Most unlikely. More likely, 1986 the year the snake was BBQ’d, at a Division gaggle of sorts. I do know the snake was fed baby monkey’s periodically. But, Only when he was hungry.

DW face lit up when I showed her the above picture. She recollected when it was caught a few doors down, from our housing unit. Talk of the neighborhood that day.

Enough reminiscing, correcting the record AND mostly wanted to share, what I figure is a really cool snake story.

Back to reality.

Liking this guys Patriotism. He’s a keeper.

BREAKING: President Trump EVISCERATES Europe for allowing Islamic Sharia courts — they’re going to DESTROY their western culture if it doesn’t stop “In the UK you have a TERRIBLE mayor of London, and Sharia courts! You DON’T want Sharia courts. Sharia courts adjudicating law!” “It’s simple. Immigration and energy. Bring it back, otherwise you’re not gonna bring it back.” The UK must save themselves!

ONE guess where this post is going. 

Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Canada, increasingly, demonstrate no WILL to preserve their countries, heritage, themselves, along with give up, whatever Freedom’s they once enjoyed. 

These days they, Kow Tow to Chinee. They bow, while taking a knee to muzzies.

On the positive side, Canada breaking apart would be outstanding. 

  • America Wins. 
  • Canadian provinces breaking away from Ottawa and Quebec, WIN.
  • If above happens, likely Alberta, perhaps more provinces, may align with America.  More winning in my mind.

Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?

The signs were obvious two decades ago, and the insightful Mark Steyn—the conservative Canadian author—addressed them then. In numerous books, written in his sharp, convincing style, he warned that America would soon become isolated in its fight against Islamist jihad. Today, that loneliness appears to be fully realized.

His 2006 book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, convincingly argued that much of the Western world would not survive the 21st century. Europe, with its declining birthrate, would be the first to go—thanks to white people being “too self-absorbed to breed,” while Muslims worked to change the demographics in their favor.

It also predicted that Europe would be defeated by its obsession with multiculturalism—essentially a surrender to Islam—and its welfare-driven laziness. Only America, dedicated to individual effort, morals, and economic growth, would be able to resist the onslaught of civilizational jihad.

Just five years later, in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Steyn lamented that America was also in serious danger of joining the rest of the Western world in an unavoidable decline. He observed that the growth of government, rising debt, the focus on diversity over excellence, and cultural shifts—away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts—were hollowing out America.

Fifteen years later, not only is the mood in Europe and the U.S. against America, but our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, too, are hesitant to join us in confronting a three-pronged threat: Islamists, the unchecked Trojan horse tactics of communist China, and the drug and smuggling cartels at our borders. Canada has fallen under the influence of both Islam and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while powerful criminal cartels aligned with China have a firm grip on Mexico.

Image created using AI.

Europe, as Steyn observed, has become unrecognizable. The influence of so-called liberalism, far from transforming all nations into Sweden and eradicating war, has altered the very character and demographics of the continent. Ask a Jew in Malmo, Steyn writes, if you can find one! The same story is unfolding in Britain.

Commenting in The New York Post, Melanie Phillips states that Britain’s response to the issue of Muslims being smuggled into the country and their involvement in terrorism, espionage, and arms smuggling has been “craven.” Muslims refuse to integrate into British society, and the government has gone out of its way to accommodate them, allowing them 85 sharia courts so far.

Instead of addressing this security crisis, Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s government suppresses criticism of Islam by raising the false idea of Islamophobia. Tommy Robinson, who the previous government jailed for criticizing Islam, mass Muslim immigration, and Muslim rape gangs, still faces danger and is labeled an extreme right-winger. Similarly, in a serious violation of free speech, political candidate Paul Weston was charged in 2014 with a racially aggravated crime for quoting an excerpt critical of Islam from Churchill’s The River War.

For decades, Muslim gangs have been grooming and assaulting underage girls, but Starmer has been hesitant to investigate and prosecute them. He also ignores widespread antisemitism among Muslims. In 2024, a Jewish man was prevented from crossing a street under threat of arrest for being openly Jewish and thereby “antagonizing” pro-Palestine marchers. Britain’s recognition of Palestine following the October 7 massacre by Hamas signals Starmer’s capitulation to Islam.

Starmer’s interactions with China symbolize Britain’s waning influence and capitulation to the CCP. During his trip to Beijing, the prime minister was not met with the usual protocols. CCP leader Xi Jinping gave Starmer a brief, informal meeting and spoke to him as if he were subordinate.

Starmer failed to press Xi on several key issues: human rights, especially the detention of activist Jimmy Lai; cyberattacks on British companies; covert Chinese interference in the UK government; and trade deficits. He approved China’s plan to build a massive embassy near critical fiber-optic cables and sensitive U.S. infrastructure, a move that could threaten intelligence partnerships with the U.S.

To our north, Canada has increased the risk by entering a new “strategic partnership” with China, shifting Canada’s economy away from its long-standing reliance on America. During his visit to Beijing, Prime Minister Mark Carney avoided discussing Jimmy Lai’s incarceration, the execution of seven Canadians in China on drug charges (which is ironic since China is a major exporter of fentanyl precursors to North America), and interference in Canadian elections.

Carney returned with agreements on cooperation against drug trafficking and cybercrime, along with a pledge to increase cultural exchanges. Given how China operates, security experts have no doubts about what ‘cooperation’ and ‘cultural exchanges’ will actually entail. Additionally, it is hard to understand how a liberal government has reconciled with an authoritarian regime.

At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Carney expressed excitement about recalibrating Canada’s relationship with China: he stated that Canada had aligned itself with the “new world order,” would pursue global governance, and move away from the U.S., its largest trading partner. He urged other countries to do the same.

According to a 2025 report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), Muslim Brotherhood organizations have infiltrated Canada’s civil, academic, political, and economic sectors. They promote radical Islamist ideology using federal funding.

The report provides strong evidence that Canada has become a hub for money laundering and a gateway for terrorists entering the U.S. But instead of designating these groups as terrorist organizations, Carney was a guest at a recent Eid celebration hosted by the Brotherhood-linked Muslim Association of Canada.

Unchecked immigration, wokeism, the romance with multiculturalism, and a fragile national identity have allowed not only the Brotherhood but also networks connected to China, Russia, Iran, and Qatar to entrench themselves in Canada. Collectively, they pose a serious security threat to the U.S.

recent seizure of carfentanil—originally developed to tranquilize elephants—revealed that the U.S. now faces a dangerous flow of synthetic drugs across its southern and northern borders. The drug was being smuggled into the country by a Montreal-based cartel.

China is the primary source of raw materials and equipment for drug production, including fentanyl. Therefore, there is reason to suspect a Chinese connection, similar to Mexico, where Chinese gangs have established themselves on the drug scene. These gangs, it goes without saying, cannot operate without the CCP’s approval.

The Bureau’s report on the carfentanil seizures quotes former DEA chief Derek Maltz: “We are getting crushed with carfentanil, xylazine, etizolam, isotonitazene—all those new psychoactive substances which are coming out of China. So, it’s just another phase of the attack.”

In 2023, there were over 72,000 drug-related deaths, mostly caused by illicit fentanyl brought into the U.S. from Mexico by sophisticated cartels, armed with RPGs and exploding drones, and collaborating with China. Chinese gangs have extensive networks in Mexico’s drug hubs, laundering money through cryptocurrencies and digital payment platforms.

Mexican governments have long collaborated with the cartels, which are viewed as sources of profit and power. However, President Donald Trump has pressured the current Mexican government to combat the cartels. The recent killing of Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes—‘El Mencho’—in a joint U.S.-Mexico operation highlights Trump’s dedication to securing the border and stopping trafficking.

If America is to stand alone in the asymmetric war launched by China and the Islamists, we need strong leadership to exert pressure and defend our borders. On a civilizational level, however, we are lost unless the West unites. Steyn opened the first chapter of America Alone with a chilling quote from historian

Arnold Toynbee:

“Civilizations die from suicide, not murder.”

The West should remember that.

Returning to the article’s Title. 

Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?

Slow Guy figures answer to above, Yes AND No. 

  • America Alone?  Yes. 
  • Save The “West”?  Not America.  NFW.  The “West” themselves MUST reach down and demonstrate the WILL to Save Themselves. Fend off Chinee and islam.  Unlikely from Slow Guy’s vantage.

Further, for my money, and I have not pondered this greatly. 

Europe / UK surrendered, when they adopted EU – European Union. 

  • Surrendered their destiny. 
  • Surrendered their identity. 
  • Surrendered their WILL, as unique countries, ways of life, traditions…
  • BREXIT was a leap towards saving Britain.  Which Britain ultimately fumbled.

Passing thought occured to me awhile ago.

  • Was the Utopian belief in the UN, an initial surrender by the Global Community? Dunno.  

On the positive side,

LIVING AMERICA FIRST, Has Always Been AND Remains The Answer.

  • Donroe Doctine a huge plus. for America AND Western Hemisphere.

Understatement of the day, week, month, year thus far.

We Are Witnessing, An Emerging, True, New World Order. 

As for Slow Guy.  Donroe Doctine, is tailor made for America, in these times.

Enough of the serious stuff.

Fear porn abounds. 🖕 fear porn. We are Americans 🇺🇸.

Solution – eat more 🥓, pass the ammo and kick out the illegals.

Other nations with pulses who are not cowards will follow suit. America leads from the front – always.

Aubergine

You know, it makes a lot of sense that I’m not subject to “fear porn.”

I have never liked porn. The little I have seen of it, it makes me LAUGH. It’s so fake and stupid. I just don’t get it.

Generally, fear porn has the same effect on me.

My first question nowadays, when reading about any new outrage or issue is:

“Do I have any way to change this, influence this, or affect it at all?”

Answer “yes,” do the thing.

Answer “no” (which is usually the case), go on about my business. Don’t worry, be happy.

It’s working for me.

Let’s check in on Gerald’s water consumption.

Gerald woke up this morning and did the following:

6am – drank from his trough. Approximately 30 litres. In British beef cattle, this is 100% of Gerald’s actual blue water use for the day.

6:15am – it rained on him. This has been counted in the statistics as Gerald consuming water. Gerald did not decide it would rain. Gerald did not apply for the rainfall. Gerald has not been asked whether he endorses the accounting methodology.

8am – Gerald ate grass. The grass required rainfall to grow. This rainfall has also been attributed to Gerald. The rain fell on the field in 1742 as well, when there was no spreadsheet.

10am – Gerald produced manure. The manure will go into the soil. The soil will grow more grass. The grass will need more rain. The rain will fall regardless of Gerald’s continued employment on this farm.

Gerald’s daily blue water use: about 30 litres. The same as a moderately long shower.

The headline figure: 15,000 litres per kilogram.

The gap between those two numbers is rain.

Gerald is not a drought. Gerald is what happens when you point rain at a field and give it a biological purpose.

This is, broadly, what farming is.

they’re not getting the cow i have in the freezer…STEAK! it’s what’s for dinner!

patfrederick

I have always loved beef. fish and seafood? not so much.

patfrederick

same here–but the opposite…lol. Hubby will eat a variety of meats and seafood and will prepare for himself the seafood dishes. (If i don’t like it? I never learned to prepare it. shrug)
But every Sunday he grills–steak for me always…seafood or pork for him.

TradeBait2

OK – you two need to get a room. Beef always?

You are discriminating against Porky, Hen-riettas, and Dr. Seuss – Red Fish, Blue Fish…

Since I Keto, they are all on the menu.

Although I do celebrate Kal’s half a cow acquisition. I like my steaks medium, thank you.

patfrederick

I do eat chicken…hubby grills that too…and I will eat sausage and pork…they’re just not my Sunday dinner favorite. lol (and always medium for me too)
it’s just fish i don’t like–altho during Lent, I eat plenty of tuna.

we used to eat crab patties–until one time hubby broke out in hives after having them out at restaurant and since then we avoid them.

AND…imported ham sliced thin is my sandwich of choice. lol

it’s just nothing gets me hungrier than a NY strip steak cooked to perfection…yum!

TradeBait2

Just diggin’ at ya a little. 😀

Wifey is big on sirloins as well. If a porterhouse, filet, ribeye, and a plain sirloin were sitting in front of her she would choose the sirloin every time even if it was not NY strip.

There are very few foods I do not like. Just a handful of the more exotic.

Aubergine

Top sirloin is my steak of choice, too. Unless, of course, there’s a filet mignon on the menu, and I feel like dropping $50 on a steak. Which rarely happens.

TradeBait2

Filet is king in my book, but I will happily consume the others without complaint. Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn have decent 6 oz filets at $25 give or take around here. BJ’s will sell large tenderloin cuts at discount from time to time as well to do some good cuts to grill and freeze at home.

Gail Combs

Rib-eye medium rare.

Other wise a chuck steak or chuck roast.

We cook a chuck roast for me & meat loaf for Hubby at the same time, Then left overs for lunch/dinner for a few days.

Chicken & pork too. and Salmon salads 2 to 3 times a week.

Ann Coulter has been reading the Epstein files.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.

Why has the DOJ blacked out the names of adult men — or women, God help us — sending emails to Epstein that say things like this:

a) “Pussy hunters!!”

Yes, that’s it. That’s all the email said.

b) “Subject: Hi from PB Hi J, Hope you can find a great guy for REDACTED :)) her pussy is getting wet”

Remember the good old days, back when we were outraged about “grabbing pussies”?

c) One email is entirely redacted except … “Has discovered the distraction of pussy, I assume. Well, I say good for him.”

I’m almost certain this wasn’t a reference to some cat lover.

d) “Love whats wrong with you you sound like a dirty old guy!! You’re surrounded by tits all day long… “

No, definitely not about cats.

e) “no one can beat your pussy network”

Thanks to all the redactions, we’re not even sure which banks these guys work for. ..

Did you know it’s actually not just completely okay but super great to just unapologetically love America? To feel that pride and patriotism that you are part of a great nation that has done great things and is doing great things. You can feel that. You don’t have to be critical.

Momma’s got her hands full!

Aubergine

Those babies will likely all be bottle-lambs.

I have a friend who up until a few years ago had a sheep ranch. Every year, she would ask around for volunteers to feed the bottle-babies. It was fun.

Even a ewe with twins will abandon one of them most of the time. A ewe will abandon a funny-looking (wrong color, whatever) lamb. Sheep are weird.

Gail Combs

Very weird. Take a kid a way from a goat and she remembers it the next day. (Very useful when you grab the kids and bring them in the house when you get a nasty freezing storm forecast for over night.)

Remove a lamb from a sheep and you got yourself a bottle lamb.

Valerie Curren

That’s brutal for the maternal abandonment angle. Maybe they’re only equipped to raise one baby at a time (wimps, as a mom of twins here 😉 😉 ) so if they attempted to raise two neither one would survive 🙁 If you are bottle feeding a lamb do you have to snuggle it close or just hold the bottle at an angle that might minimize their air intake?

Gail Combs

To start them, I would get down on all 4s, tuck the lamb under me, raise its head and insert nipple. (4 hands would be VERY helpful😋)

Once they figure out the nipple = food, you just hold the bottle. UP!

It is VERY IMPORTANT to have the head tilled up, like they would be under the ewe. That plus the shadow is important to get the sucking reflex.

Colostrum within the first 24 hours is also very important. So grabbing the ewes when she has lambed and stealing a bit of colostrum to freeze was one of my standard ops. You can use Goat colostrum too.

Also there is now powdered colostrum available.

Let’s clarify the SPR.

Biden drained nearly 300m barrels in the months before 2022 midterms to lower gas prices and keep the Senate.

It worked.

The SPR was severely damaged. They aren’t not meant to be empty. They aren’t stainless steel tankers. There’s several years of repairs needed.

Replenishing will take years. Just 200,000 barrels going into the reserves every day would have huge market impacts and at that rate we’d need 5 years.

The lefty media suddenly discovering SPR is demonstrating their incredible bias and covering Biden’s crimes against the nation. 

@powerthefuture

 spoke nonstop about the damage Biden was doing. Not one major outlet reported it.

But now it’s Trump’s fault. Because that’s the easiest and most fun spin.

The damage done to America by Biden and his team is unforgivable. Energy policy. Domestic policy. Foreign policy. Just criminals. All of them.

scott467

Democrats are psychopaths and murderers.

TradeBait2

I pointed this out months ago. The SPR has been getting refilled at a pace that has not overly affected market prices. Instead of a rapid fall in price, they have trended down. By the fourth quarter it should be closer to natural market levels.

The refill will accelerate at below market costs due to Venezuela.

Aubergine

I have now lived through two periods in American history where the dominant feeling in the country was “malaise:”

ma·laise
/məˈlāz,məˈlez/
https://ssl.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/promos/20181204/pronunciation.svg
noun
noun: malaise; plural noun: malaises

  1. a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or uneasiness whose exact cause is difficult to identify.

The first was when Carter was President. There was just this feeling back then that everything was wrong. And somehow, nobody knew how to fix it. They talked a lot, but nothing good ever happened.

Then Biden. Everything was wrong again. The election was wrong, but nobody could pinpoint how to fix it. The courts wouldn’t. Our stance in the Middle East was wrong, but nothing could apparently be done. Covid and the clot shots were wrong, but people were so depressed they didn’t fight back. Big Pharma just poisoned 75% of Americans.

Even the Obama years didn’t have the seemingly endless torpor and lassitude that characterized those two periods of time.

Thank God we got Trump, who is pulling us out of that zeitgeist. Just like Reagan did after Carter. THANK GOD.

Wolf Moon

AMEN!

 Reagan and Trump are what the American Patriots did to pull the country out of the torpor.

BREAKING: GOP Rep. Nancy Mace Plans to Investigate Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: ‘We Need to Hold Our Own Accountable’

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said Friday that she plans to investigate outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding a potential misuse of taxpayer funds.

“I trust President Trump and his judgment here,” Mace said of Trump’s decision to fire Noem during an interview with Newsmax.

“One of my questions is Corey Lewandowski. Is he going with her? Where is he going in all of this?” Mace asked.

Lewandowski served as President Donald Trump’s first campaign manager during his 2016 White House run and has remained close to the commander in chief.

He was also considered a “special government employee” who was serving as an adviser to Noem, Mediate reported.

Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich reported on Thursday that, “Noem had sought to appoint Lewandowski as her chief of staff, but the president blocked that decision amid these rumors of an [extra-marital] affair.”

In the Newsmax interview, Mace also praised Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, whose tough questioning of Noem during a Senate hearing on Tuesday is widely seen to have been key to Trump’s ousting her.

“The second thing is, I want to thank, I’m very grateful to Republican Senator Kennedy,” Mace added. “I had no idea how much money — hundreds of millions of dollars — that Kristi Noem had wasted on her personal PR for all those TV ads that are running across the country that have nothing to do with deporting illegal aliens.”

Newsmax host Emma Rechenberg asked if Mace planned to investigate Noem, saying, “We’re talking about over $200 million … Do you think there should be an investigation launched into Kristi Noem?

“I do,” Mace replied. “And now that I have more of this information, I think that we need to go back to a potential subpoena for her through the Oversight Committee.”

She added, “I don’t think [Noem] walks away from this and she shouldn’t, because as Republicans, we need to hold our own accountable. Because President Trump is trying to re-instill trust in our institutions, in Congress, in the White House. He’s doing a very good job of that.”

My question is what would be accomplished by such an investigation. Pres, Trump has handled it, so why belabor it? I agree that a $200 million ad campaign was a terrible idea and was self-promoting as well as a waste of money, but dragging this out will only cast negative shade on the Trump administration.

Yesterday’s Coffee and COVID spun the Noem firing to say she actually got a promotion that had been planned. I don’t think so. I think it was as Sen. Kennedy said: that Pres. Trump was furious that Noem told the committee he approved the ad campaign. (People don’t like being misquoted, they don’t like being lied about, and they don’t like being lied to.) I think that, because Noem has done an effective job, Pres, Trump didn’t want to fire her outright. I also think that giving her a different position minimizes the gravity of the situation for his administration. So IMO the last thing we need is a Congressional investigation. I think there are better uses for Congress’ time.

Brave and Free

In agreement, IMO Mace likes being in the headlines.

Wolf Moon

YES.

Wolf Moon

Yes! And she’s running for governor. Looks to me like a grab for votes from Panicans and complainers. 😂

patfrederick

well that explains a lot!

patfrederick

investigate as you did the auto pen usage.

Wolf Moon

Agreed with your assessment. IMO this is more of Mace’s talent for self-promotion, especially in light of her run for governor, where seeming somewhat critical of Trump and his administration, without actually betraying Trump, always seems to work for her.

There also seems to be a cat-fight component that is not helpful. Drama queen vs. drama queen.

Finally, this. Lewandowski always shows up like a bad penny, but OTOH he always shows up – and he shows up where trouble has arisen, and needs somebody to check it out for Trump. I suspect that he’s a mixed bag for Trump, a lot like Bannon. Trump is able to make use of Corey’s antics, apparently.

Still, overall, I’m thinking that Noem’s problems began when she began compromising on her marriage vows. Not a mystery why the Dems and everybody else flew in like vultures.

Drama queens. Trump seems to love to hire them. Now I’m starting to realize why MTG actually thought SHE could get Trump to let her head DHS.

patfrederick

DC taints everything and everyone…well almost everyone

Aubergine

Kristi Noem is Omarosa.

Her ego is in her way. She can be effective in her job, but she makes errors because she is serving her self. She thinks she’s “all that.”

Like the affair, all the plastic surgery, and the ad campaign for her own self-aggrandizement.

Trump is very careful about exiting people from his orbit if he perceives that the left will see it as a “scalp.” I think that’s why Noem is now in a position where she can be “fluff” and not have much power.

“Just five years later, in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Steyn lamented that America was also in serious danger of joining the rest of the Western world in an unavoidable decline. He observed that the growth of government, rising debt, the focus on diversity over excellence, and cultural shifts—away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts—were hollowing out America.”

_______________

Not one mention of feminism.

Which I would argue is responsible for:

1) growth of government

2) rising debt

3) focus on diversity over excellence

4) cultural shifts away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts

In other words, ALL of the above.

Everything Steyn pointed out was directly related to or a consequence of feminism.

The Bureau’s report on the carfentanil seizures quotes former DEA chief Derek Maltz: “We are getting crushed with carfentanil, xylazine, etizolam, isotonitazene—all those new psychoactive substances which are coming out of China. So, it’s just another phase of the attack.”

In 2023, there were over 72,000 drug-related deaths, mostly caused by illicit fentanyl brought into the U.S. from Mexico by sophisticated cartels, armed with RPGs and exploding drones, and collaborating with China. Chinese gangs have extensive networks in Mexico’s drug hubs, laundering money through cryptocurrencies and digital payment platforms.”

Declare the CCP a terrorist government, bring all the receipts to prove it to the whole world, ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ style.

Declare that until or unless the CCP is no longer in leadership, all Chinese nationals are invited to leave the United States. All student visas are revoked.

Any chinese immigrant convicted of a felony has his citizenship revoked, serves his time, and gets deported.

Someone might say “This is too extreme, there is no way such things could ever happen.”

Remove women from positions of leadership, authority and social influence in America, and it would happen immediately. All of it, and a lot more besides.

Q

Trump wants ALL the court fights.

He welcomes them.

They were ALWAYS part of the PLAN.

That’s why Trump “prioritized” flipping the Supreme Court in his first term.

While most people complain and criticize Congress for not passing the SAVE Act, I don’t think Trump is worried about it at all.
The longer the fight drags out, the better.

Trump ALREADY told everyone, what is going to happen.

“President Donald Trump on Friday said he will issue an executive order “shortly” laying out the “legal reasons” for national voter-identification requirements.
Trump, in posts late Friday to Truth Social, said he wants voter-ID laws implemented for the 2026 midterm elections, even though legislation mandating them appears poised to stall in Congress.”

“The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections,” Trump posted to Truth Social.”

https://
cnbc.com/2026/02/13/tru
mp-congress-voter-id-midterms.html

Trump has told us, that he is “preparing” an EO to FORCE a citizenship requirement and voter ID BEFORE the midterms.

Does anybody doubt him?

Did you catch what he said?

He’s going to “lay out the legal reasons” for the requirements.

Trump does his homework. There’s a reason that he keeps winning all the democrats court challenges to his EO’s.
His legal team know the law very well, going back many years and they also know the Constitution.

Trump is restoring the Constitution.

Only citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections.

Trump ALREADY knows, that as soon as he signs an EO on this subject, the democrats will go judge shopping, in order to try and stop it.

That’s EXACTLY what he wants them to do.

Most people don’t understand GAME THEORY.

The longer the “fight” over voter ID stays in the “narrative war,” the better.

Trump AND Thune, are “purposely” dragging this fight out as long as possible.

Did you catch the reason why?

What did Trump say?

And what is the narrative that Trump and the republicans are focusing the American people on?

“The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections,”

Democrats cheat in elections.

This is “purposeful” narrative deployment. It’s “table setting” for what’s coming.

What’s coming?

There are “two” criminal investigations happening right now, looking into the stolen election in 2020.

Bondi launched a “nationwide” criminal investigation and put a Missouri prosecutor in charge.
And Tulsi Gabbard launched an investigation into the intelligence agencies, looking at all the classified information.

There’s a reason why Trump isn’t worried about the midterms.

Trump ALREADY knows the EVIDENCE of the stolen election “conspiracy” in 2020, is going to be exposed soon and he ALSO knows, that he is going to win the democrat challenge against his coming EO on voter ID.

A “conspiracy” by the democrats to steal the 2020 election, with the help of foreign entities, is a “national security” issue.

The president has “plenary power” over “national security” issues, according to the Constitution.

Voter ID and citizenship is going to happen and Trump ALREADY knows it.

But it’s just the first volley.

Voter ID is the DOORWAY to ALL the “safeguards,” that Trump keeps telling people are coming, for our ENTIRE election system.

NATIONAL SECURITY will allow Trump to put in place EVERYTHING he needs to, in order to PROTECT the American people’s Constitutional right to vote.

It’s all coming, including a version of the SAVE Act.

And the Supreme Court win on the SAVE Act EO will set permanent “precedent” for our nation’s future.

Relax.

Let Trump cook.

If you accidentally left the screen door open in base housing out on the mesa at Oceanside, you might get a rattler. People did, sometimes.

And it was illegal to kill one, so you had to call the conservation people to get him.

And if you live up on the benches here, in the grasslands, you can get the same thing. One day I showed up to work, and was presented with the three-foot Western Diamondback (dead, of course) that had hidden behind an open door I had gone in and out of multiple times the previous day. When the owner went to close up the shop, there he was. He killed it with his kid’s BB gun.

I never left a door open for a cool breeze again!

This was an interesting comment:

@vinrusso8211 day ago

You missed a huge Harvard/Max Plank DNA study in April on the Carthaginians. 90% of the 2,800 year old specimen’s were of Greek or Italian genetics. Very few were from the Levant. Yes, the Philistines were Sea People/Canaanite mixture. But the majority mixed with the Phoenicians and settled west of Egypt, and became what we know as the Carthaginians. It explains why the “Phoenicians” were completely untouched by the Sea People. But actually grew after their arrival.

Going from that lead two stories:

Ancient DNA sheds light on the genetic origins of early Iron Age Philistines

The ancient Mediterranean port city of Ashkelon, identified as “Philistine” during the Iron Age, underwent a marked cultural change between the Late Bronze and the early Iron Age. It has been long debated whether this change was driven by a substantial movement of people, possibly linked to a larger migration of the so-called “Sea Peoples.” Here, we report genome-wide data of 10 Bronze and Iron Age individuals from Ashkelon. We find that the early Iron Age population was genetically distinct due to a European-related admixture. This genetic signal is no longer detectible in the later Iron Age population. Our results support that a migration event occurred during the Bronze to Iron Age transition in Ashkelon but did not leave a long-lasting genetic signature.

Quote found in The genetic origins of the Philistines – Gene Expression

The most likely scenario has long been that the Biblical Philistines were a composition population, made of Aegean folk who mixed with the local Canaanite substrate. These results confirm that.

Ancient Carthaginians Were Not Mostly of Phoenician Origin, DNA Study Finds

For years, historians believed that the ancient Carthaginians were largely of Phoenician origin, having descended from settlers who migrated from the Levant. However, new genetic research challenges that view, revealing that ancient Carthage, located in present-day Tunisia, had a far more diverse population and was not primarily rooted in Phoenician ancestry.

study conducted by an international team of scientists from the Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for the Archaeoscience of the Ancient Mediterranean analyzed ancient human remains from 14 archaeological sites. These sites span the Levant, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Ibiza.

Using DNA extracted from these remains, researchers found that the populations identified with Phoenician or Punic culture were genetically diverse. While they shared language and customs, their ancestry showed limited connection to the original Phoenician homeland in the Levant.

I don’t know enough about the subject matter to know the political backstory, or why it would please the Left for the ‘results’ to come out this way.

I can only say that I don’t trust anything that comes out of Harvard or any other university on earth.

Their research is worthless.

Not only can it not be trusted, but frequently it turns out that the truth is the opposite of their ‘findings’.

Findings which always align with their woke beliefs, and which turn out to be bogus (thousands of ‘peer reviewed’ papers, IIRC) when examined by anyone who isn’t on Team Corruption.

I believe most “research” done nowadays is manipulated simply to herd people into beliefs about something that is probably not true.

Ukraine Jewish President Zelensky believes that he gets to dictate & control where Europe gets their oil from.

While oil isn’t getting through from the Middle East due to the War with Iran, Zelensky has cut off Hungary & Slovakia’s oil from Russia.

At the same time he wants Hungary to lend him money & supply Electricity to Ukraine.

Who does this guy think he is? https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f928.svg

Zelensky: 

“Honestly, I wouldn’t restore it. That’s my position. I’ve told this to European leaders and to everyone who’s called me about this issue, including the leadership of the European Union, because this is Russian oil”.

The little freak has threatened Orban and IIRC Fico for cutting off his grifting income from the EU (90 Billion in this last would-be tranche and counting).

Seems Ukraine was smuggling money and gold through Austria and Hungary on the way to Kiev… Orban’s border control stopped (and confiscated) the truck, and jailed the seven people going with it… Now Z-“man” (and presumably his witch-patron von der Leyen) are both big upset with Orban…

Good gosh. Even one of the bluest states out there wants voter ID. What is wrong with congress that they refuse to pass the SAVE Act?

California voter ID initiative clears signature threshold, setting up November showdown with Newsom
Excerpt:
According to Reform California, a nonpartisan political activism group, organizers submitted the “California Voter ID Initiative” petition to county authorities with 1.3 million signatures. The group says the petition has garnered bipartisan support, with signatures from Californians representing all walks of life and political persuasions across all 58 of the state’s counties.
Reform California believes the measure has a solid path to passage in November, citing polls showing 71% of Californians favor the initiative. If passed, the measure would bypass the Democratic legislative supermajority and amend the state constitution to require voter ID when casting a ballot, require election officials to verify the citizenship of registered voters and require the state to maintain accurate voter rolls.

No doubt, President Trump will be getting ready to revoke the federal “state charters” that were conditionally issued to each blue state / cities on the day the states applied for entry into the United States of America …… be it in the 1700, 1800 or 1900s.

The blue states are not independent entities …… they operate under the state charters issued to them by the Federal government, aka “we the people.” We gave them their charters, we can take them away ………… for cause.

Revoking the charters requires the appointment of a temporary custodian government that will proceed to eliminate the sanctuary cities and implement Constitutional compliant election rules and procedures.

So how do territories become states? It’s written right in the Constitution:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

But before even that, Congress must establish an organic act, which is an act that establishes a territory of the United States and specifies how it is to be governed.

Pat,
I just stumbled onto this:

Remember a corporation is established using a CHARTER.

investopedia — Understanding Corporate Charters .

A corporate charter, also known as articles of incorporation, is essential to legally establish a corporation.

This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository…

Corporate America: A History of Corporate Statehood Since 1629

Citation Bowie, Nikolas. 2018. Corporate America: A History of Corporate Statehood Since 1629. Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.

Abstract

This dissertation examines the history of “corporate statehood,” or how Americans have understood the corporation as a governmental institution. In contrast to historical accounts of “corporate personhood,” which describe how Americans have understood corporations as if they were legal or metaphorical individuals, this account focuses on the remarkable consistencies between the explicitly governmental corporations of the seventeenth century and the business and municipal corporations of the present. It is a history of how corporations supplied the institutional frameworks for American government and how the normative values associated with American government—like the existence of checks and balances or the need for representatives to govern with the consent of the governed—were reapplied to the corporate form. The dissertation argues that it is impossible to understand the development of the American state without also understanding the development of the American corporation, and vice versa….

page 5

The final chapter describes a Supreme Court case in the twentieth century that interpreted the U.S. Constitution to protect corporate executives from regulations that prohibited them from spending their corporations’ money on political expenditures. In response to this decision, the mayor of the city of Boston, a municipal corporation, argued for the similar constitutional treatment of cities. The chapter argues that the political campaign that followed highlighted for a twentieth-century audience the persistent institutional and conceptual similarities between business corporations and municipal corporations. It concludes that “corporate democracy,” or the idea that corporations should be governed by the same norms as other governmental institutions, remains a guiding principle into the twenty-first century….

FULL TEXT

Canada’s living standards are collapsing in a socialist doom loop.

The govt is trying to hide this by “growing” the economy with massive numbers of immigrants. However cramming millions of Bangladeshis into Toronto doesn’t make for a more powerful first world city, it just turns the entire the city into the 3rd world also. Now they are all on welfare and the rent is higher for everyone.

Canada’s GDP per capita was 94% of America’s in 1981. Today it’s 67%. The widest gap since World War II.

Ontario is now poorer than 43 US states. Including Louisiana and Alabama. This isn’t a hiccup, it’s a collapse.

From 2017-2024, US productivity grew 10.1%. Canada’s fell 0.6%.

The US spends 3.4% of GDP on R&D.

Canada spends 1.7%.

Housing prices are 50% to 100% higher in Canada compared to the USA, meanwhile incomes are 30% lower.

Canadians spends 48% of their income on a mortgage. The average American: 34%.

Canada has talent, natural resources (oil, gas, minerals hydro), safe geography, rule of law. It should be one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.

What it doesn’t have is a system that rewards being successful. It is a system being strangled by bad immigration policy, bad trade policies, massive regulations, woke DEI mind viruses and crushing taxes.

The people make a solemn covenant with God.

– The work of complete reformation appeared so difficult, that Asa had not courage to attempt it, till assured of Divine assistance and acceptance. He and his people offered sacrifices to God; thanksgiving for the favours they had received, and supplication for further favours. Prayers and praises are now our spiritual sacrifices. The people, of their own will, covenanted to seek the Lord, each for himself, with earnestness. What is religion but seeking God, inquiring after him, applying to him upon all occasions? We make nothing of our religion, if we do not make heart-work of it; God will have all the heart, or none. Our devotedness to God our Saviour, should be avowed and shown in the most solemn and public manner. What is done in hypocrisy is a mere drudgery.

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.

COUNTING BLESSINGS

When we awaken in the morning…
We are blessedTrials of yesterday’s forewarning…
We’re less stressedIf we count the many blessings…
That are right before our eyes
We can thank God for the pressings
His little blessings in disguise

For what today are you thankful
For the sunrise over the trees
For all your friends by the tankful
For the lushness of the leaves
For the flowers in the garden
All blooming fresh and new
For the blessing of the pardon
Forgiveness to renew

As our eyes take in the wonder
Of our Creator’s Mighty Hand
Have we taken time to ponder
The beauty He had planned
The order of Creation
Is no magical decree
It is His mighty magnificence
For all to enjoy and see

Look to your family – another gift
Where two hearts are enjoined as one
His love spread far and wide and swift
To learn and laugh – and just have fun
We thank You Father – for so many gifts
For all that You have done
Even for the twists and turns and shifts
We know that we have won

If we’ve been remiss in our thinking
You are there to save the day
We might feel at times we are sinking
But You – Lord – have found a way
So many times – we get discouraged
We want to give up and give in
You send Your Angels – we’re encouraged
By Your Spirit that lives within

Lord – will you please forgive us
If we forget the blessings you pour
Doubt and fear will misgive us
As they suddenly come to the fore
We are human and prone to mistake
To quandaries and confusion
We need Your Spirit our souls retake
Dispel all the foolish delusion

We will remember our blessings to count
As we awaken from sleep each day
For we will meet You someday at the mount
And You will ask us – what will we say
Will we tell Him our first thought was good
Will we let Him know we are most grateful
When we arose from our bed and stood
For the blessings we have by the crateful!

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! Your Weekend Edition roundup includes: Trump channels his inner Ulysses S. Grant with two words that drove the media insane — but the numbers back it up, with Iranian missile launches collapsing 98% in five days while CENTCOM announces 3,000 targets hit and counting; Iran’s president orders his own military to stop attacking neighbors, and the IRGC responds by attacking two more countries; Britain dispatches its mightiest warship to help — as soon as the union finishes slow motion repairs; oil approaches $100 as the Strait of Hormuz stays blocked; James Woods rage-quits the GOP over the SAVE Act, and I put on my mediator hat to explain why it’s too soon to panic because of Trump’s senatorial succession plan.

In regards to the involvement of Blackstone Life Sciences (a division of Blackstone, the assets management company) in Moderna’s mRNA-1010 modRNA “multi-strain influenza vaccine” — Yours Truly became curious if there was any connection with BlackRock.
Sure enough, there is.
BlackRock (Larry Fink) was originally a division of Blackstone Financial (Steve Schwarzman.) Larry Fink decided to break away from Blackstone Financial. The establishment of BlackRock as a separate asset management company under Fink was the result.

I wrote in 2024 about the power couple.

Pan also sat on the panel that upheld Judge Tanya Chutkan on the question of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Both were bench-slapped by SCOTUS in a 6-3 decision reversing Chutkan’s order.

In a separate decision, Pan also upheld the Biden DOJ’s use of 1512(c)(2)–also overturned by SCOTUS in a 6-3 opinion in June 2024.

As I have said repeatedly–these Democratic activist judges do not care about being reversed by the Supreme Court. In fact, many consider it a badge of honor. Pan is one–as long as she can wield her temporary power to thwart the president and his agenda, any future rebuke is immaterial to her.

Adam Schiff falls right into Bill Maher’s trap as he criticizes a statement he thought was from Trump but was actually from Obama.

MAHER: “This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That’s too vague for you?”

SCHIFF: “Totally vague.”

MAHER: “Okay. Because that’s from Obama about Libya.”

whoa…reading a weird what if…
the attempt to get POTUS a THIRD term? also opens up Obummer for a third term. wouldn’t that slimy ass weasel obummer–the perfect leftist democrat candidate–with the humongous ego- relish running against DJT?

Gail Combs

OR POTUS gets to serve the 2020 term that he had stolen from him.😋

POTUS is close to 80. He is smashing the old system to smithereens. He is also grooming his successors. Unlike the Demon-Rats we have several very good candidates, mentored by Trump, in the 2024 line-up.

Remember he has LOTS of full cabinet meetings I think that is a critical part of the training.

patfrederick

you know the dems will sue to allow a dem candidate–and who better than that slime?

Gail Combs

I do not see POTUS trying to actually get another term. Remember he will be running the Board of Peace. He can also be a presidential advisor.

Sir ES

I agree – he’ll finish by 2028-29.

(I still think it more likely than not that he *could* run, owing to the “April 2020 President Trump leaves office” marginal shown on the placard on the July 13 failed attempt.)

I’ve been having some charging problems – hopefully they’re resolved; also, I’ve been inordinately busy – hence my pause in posting. I’ve lurked though!

Btw, Jim Watkins will likely lose his sites – INCLUDING 8kun – by March 9 6am. There are still global notices for the ‘bunker’ alternative (and others) in case the site goes down.

Worthwhile to capture whatever one can, even though the experience will be degraded.

For anyone interested, time is SHORT. I think Jim hasn’t the funds, or the time, to save 8-kun.

Obviously, I am ‘disappoint’!!!

I hope you’re well, and fellow Treepers too…

Gail Combs

That is Disappointing! to say the least. I hope an ‘Angel’ will step in and help with the finances.

Sir ES

It isn’t the money per se, but the illegal content on 5chan. Although the site only allowed text, still people blantantly posted links to animal abuse (crush vids), and other no-no’s.

The sheer amount of ALL posts (1-1.5MM a week, or day, can’t remember) swamped the ability to regulate / delete posts for cause.

I think that all four or five domains that Watkins owns will end up in the same bucket, according to the perfunctory notices and reply exchanges he received.

Again, I think the resurgence of “QAnon” and its conspiracy truths being validated in today’s narrative led the cabal to spike ALL of Kim’s domains – baby and the bathwater, as it were.

One can go to yesterday’s threads to get the details, and copy of Epic’s and Jim’s correspondence.

Given Iran, it’s likely IMO that the storm is *actually* upon us – without any fanfare!

Gail Combs

Oh I think it very much is. Also to some extent X has taken over for 8Kun although not as edgy.

Valerie Curren

Couldn’t some Archive sites be used to back up what’s in danger?

I have been watching several videos. One of which I will cover next Wednesday.

These videos cover several people. Some with military background. Some with financial background. But all with a curiosity about the history of what the heck has brought us to the Bush-Clinton-Obama-Biden deliberate destruction of the USA.

Most agree that we are looking at a control structure that goes back a hundred years or more based in Europe/UK/City of London (One says to 1600s)

A second point is the SEQUENCE OF EVENTS by Trump is critical.

Close the US-Mexico border and station military in the area.
ICE taking out SPECIFIC illegals. Col Towner & others think this was targeted to remove the False Flag personnel scattered around the country. Remember these illegals were FLOWN IN and we did not even know where. (Remember burn files & special access info has been ‘found’)
Settle several conflicts around the world. (Any sensitive bets information was passed on?)
Take out Madero (Witness protection with wife??)
Talks with Colombian President Gustavo Petro on drugs & financial institutions
Take out Mexican Cartel leader(s?)
Attack Iran.
This shows a re-alignment. The French-English-EU-Iran axis is exposed.
China & Russia sit this one out & The Gulf Arab states join the USA

TODAY- Donroe Doctrine put in place.

KEEPING RESOURCES IN THE GROUND and using them to back-up the derivatives market is a KEY to the old system. POTUS is breaking that into smithereens.

PAVACA

Thank you for this.
Have to say, it appears IMO that https://www.theburningplatform.com/, formerly reliable regarding coverage of the COVID-19 disaster, is “losing it” on what’s going with Iran.

Six months. CENTCOM is now planning “through September”. The goalposts haven’t moved. They’ve been loaded onto a kamikaze drone and fired through Hormuz.”

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER: Wall Street’s 1979 Playbook Against Trump

Barbara Boyd argues that warnings of a 1979-style oil shock after President Trump’s call for Iran’s unconditional surrender are a manufactured panic pushed by the City of London’s financial press and anti-Trump figures to trigger an economic crisis and swing the Midterms.

Citing Karoline Leavitt’s definition of surrender as eliminating Iran’s threat, Boyd revisits the 1979 Iranian Revolution, describing the Shah’s industrial and nuclear modernization, opposition from Anglo-American financial interests, and a strategy of “Controlled Disintegration” associated with the Council on Foreign Relations’ Project 1980s.

She claims the Shah was overthrown via a human-rights campaign and the Muslim Brotherhood, leading Khomeini to cancel modernization and enabling an oil shock that benefited London banks.

Boyd says the same playbook is now aimed at Trump’s pro-worker economic program, but that U.S. energy strength and security measures reduce oil-shock risk; she concludes that ending the Khamenei regime would remove a long-standing economic weapon and ultimately stabilize energy markets.

Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.

Serenity at Day’s End

Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.

Prayer for Restful Stillness

Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.

Nighttime Whisper for Peace

Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.

Prayer for Gentle Rest

Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.

article
Oregon Democrat has been attending council meetings remotely from Spain for over a year on $68,000 taxpayer salary
By 
JonahAquino
, March 6, 2026
Mary Nolan, a 71-year-old Oregon Democrat on the Metro Council, has been dialing into council meetings from Spain for more than a year while collecting a $68,000 annual salary funded by taxpayers.
Records obtained by The Oregonian reveal that Nolan attended Metro Council meetings remotely in 2025 between March and June, July and September, November and January, and again since Feb. 5.
That is not a sabbatical. That is not a brief family visit. That is the better part of a year spent in another country while drawing a public paycheck from residents of a metro area Nolan reportedly does not live in. The Story Breaks
According to The Daily Caller, Nolan first came under scrutiny after a Feb. 24 Metro Council meeting that featured a verbal altercation with councilor Juan Carlos González, the council’s first Latino councilor. During the exchange, Nolan asked González, “Can you say that in English?” The details of what González said that prompted the remark were not provided in available reporting, but the incident drew enough attention to put Nolan’s work habits under a microscope.
What that microscope revealed was far more interesting than a rude comment in a meeting. The Oregonian dug into records and found a pattern of remote attendance stretching back over a year, with Nolan connecting from Spain across multiple extended windows. When confronted, Nolan told The Oregonian on Tuesday that trips to Spain were “to visit my family occasionally” and occurred “when someone in my family needs help.”
“Occasionally” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. The documented stretches of remote attendance span the majority of 2025. Whatever the family situation, the voters of the Portland metro area elected a councilor to represent them locally, not to serve as a transatlantic Zoom participant. The Résumé of a Career Democrat
Nolan is no newcomer to Oregon politics. She previously served as the Oregon House of Representatives majority leader, was first elected to the Metro Council in 2020, and won re-election in 2024. Her career also includes a near-appointment to a top position at Planned Parenthood’s Columbia Willamette chapter, and she was hired by Medicare and Medicaid healthcare provider FamilyCare in Portland.
This is someone who has spent decades inside the machinery of government and progressive institutions. And yet the basic expectation of physically showing up to work in the jurisdiction she represents apparently proved too demanding.
Voters re-elected Nolan in 2024. It is worth asking what they thought they were getting. A representative who lives among them, understands local conditions firsthand, and is present for the unglamorous daily work of regional governance? Or someone who participates in council meetings the way the rest of us attend webinars we’d rather skip? The Deeper Problem
This story is small in dollar terms. Sixty-eight thousand dollars is not a massive government salary. But the principle it represents is enormous.
The COVID-era normalization of remote work gave elected officials and government employees a permanent escape hatch from accountability. When you can attend a meeting from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection, the physical tether to your constituents disappears. And with it goes something harder to quantify: the obligation to actually be present in the community you govern.
Nolan uses “they/them” pronouns, which the coverage dutifully notes. That detail is less interesting than the substance of the story, but it does fit a pattern. The same political class that insists on precise language, correct terminology, and rigid adherence to new social norms cannot seem to manage the far older and simpler norm of showing up to work in the place that pays you.
The priorities reveal themselves. Policing language is treated as essential governance. Being physically present in your district is treated as optional. What Accountability Looks Like
There is no indication from the available reporting that any formal action has been taken against Nolan or that the Metro Council has moved to address the situation. No government action, no charges, no policy review has been cited.
That silence matters. If a private-sector employee spent the better part of a year working from a foreign country without clear authorization, they would not be asked to explain themselves to a newspaper. They would be asked to clean out their desk.
The residents of the Portland metro area are reportedly paying $68,000 every year to someone who reportedly does not live among them. The Metro Council now faces a straightforward question: does physical presence in the region matter for the people who govern it, or is representation just another task that can be outsourced overseas?
The answer should be obvious. Whether the Metro Council treats it that way is another matter entirely.

From my old notes:

Check out the company Greenberg Carville Shrum and their love of globalization. It is interesting Greenberg-Quinlan Research Inc is mention as her husband’s place of work in Delauro’s bio. Sweet, fluffy Greenberg-Quinlan Research Inc with the connections to foster care and schools, but there is no mention of Greenberg Carville Shrum who directed Campaigns in 60 countries (including Tony Blair in the UK) and was responsible for the Bolivia fiasco.

Iranian Regime SPLITS APART as CROWN PRINCE Accepts Transitional Leadership!!!

Gail Combs

So the Military does not report to the President.

Somewhere I heard the Ayatollah left orders in case of his death.

Barbara Boyd, Susan Kokinda, E. M. Burlingame and Tom Luongo agree that the Ayatollah was a pawn of the City of London et al.

So WHY the strikes on Arab states?

Because as Barbara Boyd said, to cause a fuel crisis and lose the midterms for Trump!

Iran reportedly struck Saudi oil infrastructure, including Aramco’s Ras Tanura facility — one of the world’s largest oil export hubs.
Which oil and gas facilities in the Gulf have been Attacked | Al Jazeera

Damage to several energy facilities has caused global prices to spike, but Iran denies it is targeting energy sites…

The Middle East’s top oil exporters:

  • Saudi Arabia: $187bn
  • UAE: $114bn
  • Iraq: $98bn
  • Iran: $47bn – largely sold at a discount due to US sanctions
  • Kuwait: 29bn

Other Middle Eastern countries with sizeable oil exports include: Oman ($28.9bn), Kuwait ($28.8bn) and Qatar ($21bn)…
