Regarding the November 2025 exposure of an employee at the Rocky Mountain Lab (part of the NIH) to the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus. The virus is being experimented on at this facility. Our good Aubergine posted a comment on this situation, which began a discussion: https://theqtree.com/2026/04/03/health-friday-4-3-2026-open-thread-where-the-focus-needs-to-be-now-an-opinion-piece/#comment-1595800. It has been proven that this virus does indeed shed; the shedding can be present in the body secretions and blood of the exposed / infected person. The published paper regarding shedding of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus is here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7078823/, “Monitoring Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus RNA shedding in a body secretions and serological status in hospitalized patients, Turkey, 2015.” Dilek Yagci-Caglayik, et al. 12 March 2020. (Yours Truly: While the paper is about the shedding of this virus in hospitalized patients, it, in my opinion, opens up the possibility that the virus can shed from non-hospitalized exposed or infected persons.)

In Maryland, if a newly-proposed law there comes into effect, pharmacists will be able to order certain “vaccines” for patients; while, at the same time, placing the names of those persons into the Maryland state database for immunization tracking: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/maryland-bill-lets-pharmacists-order, “Maryland Bill Lets Pharmacists Order Vaccines for You — Logging Your Name in State Tracking System Without Any Patient-Request Requirement”, 3 April 2026. A screenshot from this article is below:
Note that this bill regards pharmacists being granted permission to order vaccines — and to do so without the patient’s knowledge, consent, or request. The name of the patient is put into a state tracking database. The vaccines are paid for by private insurance (if the patient’s private insurance information is on file at the pharmacy), or are covered by Medicare/Medicaid. This opens up the potential for both the pharmacy and the state to “keep tabs” on the patient in order to get “vaccine compliance” from the patient.

Why hasn’t James Lloyd Austin, III, Secretary of Defense under former “President” Joe Biden, been held to account for his “mandating” over 90% of United States military personnel being “vaccinated” with modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”? https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-half-of-covid-19-vaccinated, “BREAKING STUDY: Half of COVID-19 Vaccinated Military Personnel Suffered Subclinical Heart Stress”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 31 March 2026. The paper cited in the article is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2026.128535, “Transient elevation of NT-proBNP after mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations in healthy adults: A longitudinal biomarker analysis.” Pavel Dlouhy, et al. 30 April 2026.
Note that this paper studies heart issues that appeared in 50% of 83 healthy, adult military personnel after their being “vaccinated” with either BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) or with mRNA-1273 (Moderna.) The military personnel were stationed at the Air Transportation Base Facility in Prague, Czech Republic. The troponin levels of their hearts were found to have gone up. Elevated troponin levels in the heart indicate stress on the heart muscle. Elevated troponin levels can indicate heart problems even if there are no overt symptoms. If that is what occurred in half of the “vaccinated” personnel tested at an air transportation base in the Czech Republic, how many thousands of United States military personnel potentially had the same effect after they were “mandated” to be “vaccinated” by former Defense Secretary Austin? (Austin was the former Secretary of what is now called the Department of War.)
Note also that the military personnel at the air transportation base in Prague were well over the age of 17 — in fact, the mean age of the 83 tested personnel was 39 years. This blows clean out of the water ALL of the claims of Big Pharma, Establishment Medicine, the CDC, the FDA, the AMA, and many other entities, that heart problems associated with COVID-19 “vaccination” are “rare” —and, are “confined mostly to persons between the age of 12 and 17 years.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Another example of how a physician who stood up against Big Pharma, the CDC / FDA, the AMA, and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), was persecuted: his License to Practice Medicine in his home state (Oregon) was suspended in 2020; then, his License to Practice Medicine was revoked in the state where he had been credentialed (Washington State); then, his board credentials in the AAP were revoked; then, he had to surrender his License to Practice Medicine in Oregon in 2022 (https://omb.oregon.gov/Clients/ORMB/Public/VerificationDetails.aspx, effective 5 December 2022.) This was the journey of Dr. Paul Thomas, a highly-respected pediatrician: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/doctor-published-study-showing-vaccinated, “Doctor Published Study Showing Vaccinated Children Have 500% Increase In Chronic Diseases Only To Have License Suspended & Get Cancelled By BigPharma”, 8 April 2026. The study was Retracted by MDPI, the preprint publisher. It is available here: https://www.researchgate.net/publications/346088816_Relative_Incidence_of_Office_Visits_and_Cuulative_Rates_of_Billed_Diagnoses_Along_the_Axis_of_Vaccination. James Lyons-Weiler, Paul Thomas. 22 November 2020. (Yours Truly: Note that this paper was accepted and peer-reviewed before it was published.)

Dr. Peter A. McCullough addresses the nexus among cancer patients who then get COVID-19 “vaccinated” and thereupon afterwards present with symptoms of Long COVID: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/the-hollow-promise-of-protection, 7 April 2026.

A related topic to the heart issues situation found in the military personnel at the air transportation base in Prague who had been COVID-19 “vaccinated”: This one regards subclinical myocarditis/pericarditis in COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-paper-finds, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Paper Finds mRNA “Vaccines” Convey Silent Heart Damage—Presents Approach to Diagnosis and Management”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 31 December 2025.

Yours Truly: The above paper speaks to subclinical myocarditis/pericarditis in COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons — and makes it clear that, although many of the reported cases were found in “vaccinated” males under age 21, there were cases found in other “vaccinated” persons (male and female), and in other age groups. On the other hand, there is also the real phenomenon of “vaccine” shedding from “vaccinated” persons onto others, including onto non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons. Who knows how many non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons (including children) have been exposed to the ingredients and mechanisms of these “vaccines” that induce heart problems? At the same time, there are other factors that need to be considered when talking about what engenders or aggravates heart issues. Examples of other factors can include, but are not limited to: chronic stress; hypertension; family history of / predisposition to, heart disease; and, COPD (https://www.ummhealth.org/health-library/copd-and-heart-disease.)
THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE HUMAN BODY FOR AN mRNA, A modRNA, AN saRNA, OR A taRNA PRODUCT OF ANY KIND, IN ANY FORM.

Well, I’m back. The hospital refused to admit me. Apparently I [and dear wife] thought I was in worse shape than I really was.
So it’s doubling up on the antibiotics and the drug that makes the water leave to see if that handles it.
“Not as bad as you thought” is always good news!
Amen!
AGREED!
Yay! 
<<< Well, hold off on that one. 
Good news! 👍😎
With news like that, maybe you should go more often 😁
Very good to hear! Hopefully, that treatment does the trick.
Yay!!!
Wow, good news!
Wow PGroup, that’s Great News!!! PTL
I don’t know if this might help you at all, but it has helped me with occasional leg swelling. Getting my leg elevated, even higher than heart level, has had gravity help move fluids. When it’s gotten really bad I elevated the leg with numerous pillows or even put it onto the back of my couch & fell asleep. It would seem like the fluids would shift to my bladder but after a few hours of elevation most of the swelling would be gone.
I had painfully swollen ankles during Dad’s hospital stay. When I finally got to lay down in the pretty uncomfortable bedside chair that elevated footrest helped. I should have used it more whenever I’d sat down so maybe the condition wouldn’t have lingered as long.
My dad uses compression socks to help with reducing swelling in his legs, fwiw.
“When it’s gotten really bad I elevated the leg with numerous pillows or even put it onto the back of my couch & fell asleep.”

I do it like this 👍
Usually without the baby (or the Tommy gun).
.
Fake babies are for wimps! LOL
Exactly… 😁
👍 👍
That’s a very happy thing, pgroup! Good wishes for recovery.
Hey, that’s good news to wake up to! Thanks to God for health blessings!
The only unfortunate thing about antibiotics is, they mess up your gut something terrible. They kill the good stuff in your body along with the bad.
Probiotics will help, but it’s better if they are in real food. If you like pickles or sauerkraut, and there’s a health food store around with refrigeration, they might have actual fermented pickles and veggies. If you like yogurt, that would help. I hate keffir, but people swear by it for probiotics.
Worse come to worse, you should take the probiotics that come in a capsule.
I just know I feel better after antibiotics if I get my gut back to normal.
For me it is straight to the yogurt and also rice. (Rice cooked & refrigerated for 24 hours)

Congratulations!
By the way, have you seen a good vascular surgeon?(You need to find out what’s causing the endema)
(Sorry about the orange face, unable to delete it)
So glad to see this!!
After ALL that packing. Your dear wife is concerned about you. Can you increase your fluid intake? Glad you’re home.

“SAME SHIELD THAT CRACKED HUNDREDS OF TIMES LAST MISSION”
______________
You’d think they’d have replaced it with a new shield.
right? ANY NASA engineer knows that!
The reason it was not replaced was that Artemis II would have been delayed by several years, with a new design coming to Artemis III
Artemis I entry profile was less steep. It dipped into the atmosphere, when it was subject to intense heating and then out into space again, where it was subject to rapid cooling and then back into the atmosphere where it again was subject to intense heating. These rapid heating, cooling and heating cycle caused the cracks.
Artemis II profile is steeper and will not exit the atmosphere again. The heatshield will be subject to intenser heat, but a shorter heating cycle, which NASA engineers determined would prevent the cracking, after doing experiments.
Thanks for the explanation. 👍
Thank you. You couldn’t pay me to take the risks those astronauts are taking.
“TOO STEEP? TOO SHALLOW? THEY DON’T MAKE IT. PERIOD.”
_____________
What does it matter, when they’re using the same shield that has hundreds of cracks in it from the last mission?
I think he’s referring to THE TYPE of heat shield, i.e. another instance, NOT the same one. He is laying on the doom and gloom a little thick, though. And I don’t think he’s old enough to have seen the Project Mercury missions and their heat shields…
Interesting to me was that we have always landed over water, while the Russians landed on land… (Vostok, et. al.)…..
wait…I’ve seen this movie…Apollo 13…
It is. really cool, what they’ve done. Looking forward to safe splash down and recovery.
Outlier here. NASA inspires confidence. 🙃
Like Space Shuttle Columbia?
It’s always been about the heat shield, which isn’t one piece.
At least he’s a handsome Nazi, and doesn’t look like a Wojak extra from The Toxic Avenger movies 😂
LOL!!!
Wolf,
I now have to continually reload the page to see new comments. The green ball never turns orange. It just started today.
I use Brave on Ubuntu and it is a new up grade this year.
Me, too! And not all the new comments are yellow! I think that refreshing twice, turns the previous yellow comments back to normal. And I hate the “you are doing something to fast” error. So much for speed reading.
For me, a new comment is yellow until I move the mouse cursor over it, then it turns white like all the older posts.
It was for me until the green ball stopped showing new comments with a smaller orange ball. now when I refresh at the bottom, because I can’t click on the green ball and go to the top, some of the new comments may turn white. Need to scroll thru and reread everything to find those that are new.
I use the “like” button sometimes just to show what I’ve read, so I just look for the green to scroll by.
Me too, as far as I can tell.
I thought it was just me on an overloaded computer (to match my mind) 😉
I’ve got this, too.
LOL!!!
What does an islamo-fascist do with a ceasefire?
As-salamu break ’em 😁
Groan!
so consider this their first and only warning and then bomb this crap out of them. liars gonna lie and cheaters always cheat.
Agreed.
In Iran, every little IRGC commander now runs his own little fiefdom as central command has been eliminated!
Yup.
It appears it may be time to fire up those bombers, fighters and patriot missiles.
This time take them all out. Tell the civilians to get the hell out of Dodge until finished and be prepared to go take their country back. Send in the GCC and end this thing.
You cannot make deals with Islamists.
agreed.
they lie to get the agreement and do what they want while you uphold your end of the bargain.
POTUS is being patient because Americans do not have the stomach for this war…but sometimes the Big Dog has to do more than growl. sometimes he’s gotta bite.
“Americans do not have the stomach for this war.”
Americans rarely want war until something truly terrible happens. Before Pearl Harbor, the country was very divided on war; after, 97% wanted to fight.
Before 9/11, nobody wanted to do anything about the Middle East; after, Americans were all pretty bloodthirsty.
I personally don’t want Trump to wait until Iran manages to nuke a major city somewhere to do something.
absolutely.
and the “never forget..” what the heck happened with that? there’s a muzzie as mayor of NYC
Many (most?) people’s memories begin with the first thing in their personal memory bank. You actually have to study to “never forget” something that you never experienced. Think of the average person, and understand; half of all people are dumber than that.
a truly terrifying thought!
bring a gun to the knife fight!
I think some patriots are enjoying the ability to just blow things up instead of having to go through judges and 15 courts to get to SCOTUS, and then it’s a mixed bag. 😂
Or having to ASK Obama permission before firing at an enemy target. Also fighters were NOT allowed to “bring a gun to the knife fight!” If the guy had a knife, you had to use a knife too instead of your machine gun.🙄
“leading from behind” 😡
Yes. I have no idea what Trump is thinking/doing. If he’s head-faking, fine. But if he thinks that the mullahs will do anything rational, he needs to think again.
<72 hours to go.
This!
You made an “agreement” with religious fanatic lying killers, sir.
I don’t know what you expect, but I doubt it’s what you’re going to get.
PDJT knows what will happen, because the IRGC will always lie.

180+ IQ isn’t just a number…
When it’s all over, there’ll be time enough for one to look back at all the chess moves, and to realize why it was done in the only way to win.
The time for judgment is at the END (not the middle!).
Gotta have faith – there isn’t anyone better / more competant than VSGPDJT (in this material world, of course). He’s our best and only hope, both to survive, and to thrive.
And whatever happens, God wins.
GM!
Trump doesn’t have a 180+ IQ.
I don’t know where you got that number, but he doesn’t. I’m not saying he isn’t gifted and very smart. But I’d have to see the actual test to believe that number.
IIRC, it’s ~185.
Statistically, the frequency of one with ~160 IQ represents as less (rarer) than 1 in 10,000: the top 1% *of* the top 1%.
Would you allow for a “Very Stable Genius”…
…who was #1 in his class at West Point (IIRC);
…who graduated / aced Wharton School of Economics at UPenn;
…who became a NY real estate billionaire mogul by 40-45;
…who outfoxed ALL the NY banks during the 80’s economic downturn (see The Art of the Deal);
…who has now taken on the world-wide corruption, extant for over 200 years, and is systematically dismantling the cabal right before our eyes?
This man qualifies as “one-in-a-million” (or better) without any (my) doubt.
The rarity corresponds to at least FIVE standard deviations above the norm (100 IQ), which equates to a 175 IQ – very much in the range I tagged.
To join MENSA, one must have at least “three 9s,” meaning one-in-a-thousand.
One-in-a-million is roughly “six or seven 9s,” 0.000001% – 0.0000001% rarity.
The greater the rarity, the more difficult it is to meaningfully pin down accurately the mental powers.
And VSGPDJT has got it all – math, econ / business, language, social skills, stable psyche, legalese, and more (no booze / smoking / drugs, no criminal / civil problems, etc.).
IMO, the numbers fit.
FWIW, YMMV, IMO, yadda yadda yadda.
First, I don’t Trump has ever made his IQ public.
Second, IQ tests don’t measure above 160. Any IQ assigned above that number is an estimate. A guess.
As I mentioned – and you too! – the higher the IQ, the more ‘guess-timation’ applies.
There’s NO WAY that his and my IQ are parallel.
It isn’t just pattern recognition; the breadth and depth of various perceptions – whether academic, social, business, family / children, economic, etc., all contribute to EFFECTIVE intelligence quotient.
Again, based on my situation, he’s far above what I’ve got. Experience, and learning, factor in mightily.
And just ONE psychologist’s take, without direct contact with the subject, is pretty paltry evidence to draw a conclusion.
Anyway, it’s ok to differ…
Finally we have some nice weather here in the NE, and preparations are underway for the Boston Marathon. (I hate crowds, so I’ll not be there!)

From Brave AI
There is no verified IQ score for Donald Trump, as he has never publicly released the results of a standardized intelligence test.
Claims about his IQ—ranging from 73 to 156—are unsubstantiated rumors or estimates without official basis.
False claims and estimates:
While psychologist Dean Keith Simonton estimated presidential IQs using historical data, his study did not include Trump. Any current assessments of Trump’s intelligence remain speculative.
VC again, DJT has used the term Very Stable Genius to describe himself, but a book by that name was apparently derogatory.
Well said Sir!
Thanks Val!
Get some we-wax-ation, silly wabbit!
Lol!
TY Sir, lots still in process; at least I got A Lot of laughs with some visitors & Hubby’s still having a blast with the guys!
Hi guys this is just a drive by comment again as I’m so wiped out.
Thank you for many of your prayers for my dad, myself, & my extended family. Here’s where things are right now:
Dad was discharged from U of M around lunchtime Thursday & went home with my sister-in-law to stay again at my brother’s house for the short term. He’d been staying there since Easter Weekend due to his decline, likely connected to that urinary tract infection. We’re not yet sure whether he might be able to return to living in his own home.
I just checked the taking care of Dad family group chat & they put out some pictures of Dad smiling & on their deck enjoying their view of nature & critters. I can’t reply until morning as my brother had asked me to stop providing updates after midnight previously.
Dad & I were in the ER for 30+ hours, many hours in the waiting room, first ER exam room in time to catch the last of University of Michigan’s National Championship in Basketball (Dad is both a U of M Ann Arbor AND U of M Dearborn graduate so it was special to be AT U of M while U of M won it’s first Basketball Title in my kids’ lifetimes–last one in 1989), second ER Exam room for many hours as they waited for a bed on the telemetry floor to open up. There were 50 patients in a similar boat w/ the ER as a patient overflow.
Dad got his bed on the Telemetry floor, likely from an abundance of caution due to his heart history, late Tuesday night & thankfully they use battery packs for the patients now (unlike Josiah’s experience last year where he was wired to the telemetry monitor so way more involved to get to the restroom, etc.).
They had started IV antibiotics in the ER but then changed to Ceftriaxone IV every 24 hours while on the floor. He is being discharged on Vantin/cefpodoxime as his oral antibiotic for 10 days then he is to start taking Prilosec/omeprazole as it can interfere with the antibiotic.
They did a swallow study at our request because there were some issues there, that have been noted over the last year, & he has a GI referral as follow-up.
They discontinued his Lisinopril as lower BPs were noted & it may have been a factor in his fall. The only other meds they noted on his discharge were Eliquis (blood thinner), Flomax, & Kenalog, one of his dermatology meds (he has others he knows when/how to use).
Per a Brave search that appears to be AI driven: “Flomax (tamsulosin) is a prescription alpha-blocker medication used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) in men, such as difficulty urinating, weak stream, and urinary frequency.
It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow, though it does not shrink the prostate itself
Key facts about Flomax include:
Dad had many challenges with toileting that mostly involved needing to pee almost immediately upon standing, which he has been dealing with for a long time now, like years. Subtle undergarments, like pull ups seemed to provide sufficient backup.
His communication was much more challenging then it had been just 2 weeks ago. He has significant pauses as he searches for a word (he was Always like that to a lesser degree so my mom had a habit of completing his sentences periodically for 60+ years. Given that he had a very successful career at Ford as a mid-higher level exec who could sign deals worth some millions of dollars whatever his speech quirkiness he had in younger years didn’t inhibit his employment & many other activities.) He also was quite indecisive often answering “I don’t know” to simple questions like do you want a drink or what would you like to eat. Some of this might be related to confusion w/ the UTI.
My SIL was quite diligent to get Dad up & walking, she says they did that at their home too, & she clocked 450 feet with him the day before discharge. The dry erase chart on the wall for that unit had walking 250 feet as the top goal for patient mobility. Though they made him wear a “belt” around the chest as a precaution, it was never needed. It went home with Dad in case it was needed, so that’s a backup support. Dad being a rule-following type was distressed when he got up without having the belt on since they said it was required (floor protocols). He was never unsteady on his feet thankfully.
He wanted to leave, when asked, & my SIL claimed he was functioning at the level of March 29, a day she did paperwork with him for 8 hours & said he was “perfectly fine”. I did not perceive “perfectly fine” but did not interfere with getting him out of the hospital since SIL appeared comfortable with him where he was functioning early yesterday. He is definitely improved compared to how he was in the ER, so we are thankful.
I’m not sure where we’re going with Dad, but in the short term he’s at my brother’s house & will get his meds there & possibly some Out Patient PT since he never completed his cardiac rehab due to travel challenges during Winter weather.
I personally am very exhausted & sore so passed out within a couple hours of coming home. I plan to apply myself diligently to our tax preparation with the hopes of getting them done on time & not filing an extension. This year procrastination is kicking my butt. Oh well, we do what we can, what we must, to get by.
I’d appreciate ongoing prayers for my Dad & his complete recovery, wisdom for our family as we have discussions & make plans for his living situation, & strength, peace, & favor for me as I take care of multiple layers of business for my family & for my dad. I don’t think I can afford a lengthy recovery process like I need from my own experiences being there for the entirety of Dad’s first experience as a U of M patient. I was thankful to be at a hospital of great familiarity to me for 30 years now, so that was a blessing in navigating this particular event.
Because Dad was on the same floor where my son Josiah was last year for his Severe Pancreatitis hospitalization I made myself walk by where Josiah’s room was, & the various locations where significant events/conversations happened in the lead up to & aftermath of my mom’s death. It was surreal to be facing those places & acknowledging, though not experiencing, the pain now that we’re about a month from the first anniversary of Mom’s death. God used 3 male staff members to minister to me during Dad’s stay, 2 janitors, & one nurse. Each of those conversations had one or both of use choking back tears. I don’t like to trod those painful emotional places & typically cauterize my pain to cope & get on with what needs to be done. I was thankful for the extension of compassion & acknowledgement of the historical events the trauma of which was subtly alluded to by locational & temporal association, at least for me. Thankfully I was able to traverse the courtyard as I made my way to the car upon heading home. I have a number of special memories in that location but was thinking of both of my parents with me in 2013 as we took Josiah in his wheelchair after getting his liver transplant so that he could experience that special place of beauty in the midst of the hospital. I was thinking that was as close to “forest bathing” as I was likely to come for some time. It’s the little things…
Love to you all. Don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to do “full catch up reading” here & it will be likely more than a week before I might even try. I miss keeping track of the ins & outs of Q-Treeper personal journeys & am so appreciative of those of you who keep bringing cutting edge info & analysis here. This is the Best Tree to be in!!!
In Jesus’ Love, Valerie
May God bless you and your dad, and give you strength, comfort, and wisdom as you take on extra caregiving duties. 🙏
Thank you TT. God bless you 😊
Thank you so much for the update. Good to hear that your father made it through and is out of the hospital.
I understand about wanting to get the taxes done, but, IMO, this might be a situation of “Circumstances Alter Cases.” Can you turn the finishing up over to a local tax-prep office and let them do it?
Please, your own health is important. Taking time to rest and recharge is important.
Just my thoughts. Sending Good Energy, Deep Healing, and prayers.
Thanks for your reply PAVACA. I was thinking of you when traversing that courtyard & how you’ve faced issues with losses of family etc. You inspire me 🙂
I’ve Never not done my own taxes so am not going to use a tax prep service at this point. It would stress me out more to try to gather all the materials to organize for such an operation than to follow my own process. Filing an extension is in my back pocket. I don’t prefer to do that, if possible, but it depends on how much I can get done & how many times I have to step away to attend to other things.
I can’t help falling into a deep sleep between bathroom (& Q-Tree) breaks through the night. Hopefully I can shower & dig in on the tax crap after sunrise. Hubby gets up in an hour & I may still be up to see him on to his work day, playing by ear.
Thanks for your thoughts, prayers, & insights. Blessings!
Another thought; can you call on church family for some help?
Our church has a “Helps Ministry.” I’m on it. I’ve showed up to do all kinds of things.
We also have a “Meals Ministry.” People drop off dinners for you. I do that one, too.
Don’t be shy to ask for help. It is a blessing from God when I am able to help someone. It makes ME feel good.
Nice. Very nice. If I were in your neck of the woods, I’d make it a point to visit on Sunday.
agreed. heck we can’t even get our postal carrier to deliver mail out to our house!
oh my
It’s a great church, with sweet leadership and lots of good people.
That’s a wonderful thought A but sad to say I am mostly “unchurched” right now. Hubby is active in worship ministry at his church so if we feel the need for such personal support it would be up to him to pursue it. I may make that suggestion to my little bro but we are already “juggling flaming chainsaws” as he likes to put it. Lots of moving pieces…
please do not forget yourself in the process. you are like the family glue–you gotta stay strong and resilient.
Thanks Pat, hugs ❤
love you!
hugs back!
My day just got better, loosely quoting Kalbo 😉
You finished your taxes? 🤓😋
I wish, but I did get Josiah’s done so he’ll soon be “rolling in the Benjamins” LOL
When I used to do tax prep, my personal return always went on extension. I felt more loyalty to my paying customers than I did to the IRS.
I have zero loyalty to the IRS & look at income tax as tyrannical, unnecessary (unconstitutional?) thievery. Glad to know the pros can use extension too 🙂
My dad’s late hunting buddy had a troubled childhood & his abusive dad apparently worked for the IRS. Clyde ultimately went into business & provided tax prep services for a longtime dedicated client base. As I understood it he made it his personal mission to ensure that the IRS never got any more funds than were minimally legally necessary. I think his whole career he was motivated by sticking a finger in the old man’s eye. He repeatedly offered to do my dad’s taxes for free but dad never took him up on it. The 2024 taxes were the first time Dad accepted help & that was from my brother who his is financial/estate person. Thankfully they finished up the 2025 taxes a few days before Dad’s situation escalated, that monkey is off their backs!
Screw the government; file the extension!
Your health is more important.
Exactly!
It’s so easy to file an extension – and even though the tax forms aren’t figured out fully, you can still include a check to the IRS.
It’ll save substantially on the late fees – it’s all about the moolah, paperwork aside!
Easy peasy, and minimal worry.
Take care of yourself FIRST! One can only carry so much – so unburden yourself of what you can. Breathe!
May God bless you and keep you…
Thank you. We have Never had to send a check, they always owe us & we could use the refund!
!!!
Sounds like you could use some rest! Glad to hear your Dad was ready to be discharged and is able to be in the comfort of a family member’s home instead of the hospital.
Keeping you in my prayers.
“was ready to be discharged” was eye of the beholder. He was up five times during the night for the bathroom & they are already exhausted & talking about hiring help.
i have to say that this sounds like a potential source of concern.
Are you going to have to find ways to clean the ceilings?
That’s unlikely to cross his mind at this point–yeah I know he ain’t dead yet AND he is still a male.
He’s got the runny nose & the dizziness & lightheadedness could Also be a contributing factor to that precipitating fall along with low BP, UTI, & having on magnifying lens that contributed to disorientation.
you and your family are always in my prayers Valerie. you know where we are when you need to talk!
I very much appreciate that Pat. Almost brings tears to my eyes. You are such a special treasure!!! I hope things are well with your mom & that you had a wonderful visit with your family surrounding Easter 🙂
we had a great time. thanks.
you make sure you take care of YOU as well!
Shower incoming…finally!
Good for Dad!
Couple thoughts. (Rarely shy of an opinion.)
Skip catching up QTree. Pick up QTree at any point, today, tomorrow, moving forward.
Taxes. Easiest decision today. Extension. Stop fretting over taxes.
Leave cellphone and tablet in the kitchen. Computer off. R E S T !
See ya when you’ve recharged, a lot.
Lovely thoughts. I’m reading Q-Tree along w/ attempted meals (finally finished “breakfast”) in between numerous phone calls; you guys are restorative for me. Extension filing will happen on April 15 if necessary. I’m hopeful the deadline & brief hiatus from direct care of Dad will give me sufficient mojo, along with God’s empowerment. We’ll see…
God bless you and heal your family, Val. Prayers for your entire situation. Life goes on in ways we cannot predict or even imagine at times. May you find peace in the arms of our Savior as you lay your head down each evening. Take care of you, the caregiver is frequently the one who needs care the most in these situations.
Thanks for keeping us informed. A quote from the late, great women’s basketball coach, Pat Summit. These are for you, Val.
“No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness, but in facing weakness you learn how much there is in you.”
Followed by her quote when fighting Early Onset Dementia:
“Left foot. Right foot. Breathe.”
Wonderful TB–TY so much! God Bless YOU 🙂
“Dad had many challenges with toileting that mostly involved needing to pee almost immediately upon standing, which he has been dealing with for a long time now, like years.”
That really sounds like low-grade bladder infection. It was happening to me for quite a while. I took antibiotics a couple of times, and it came right back.
The D-Mannose that TT recommended did the trick. I take AZO D-Mannose every day. I think it should be a regular thing for most older people. It’s perfectly natural; it’s a substance found in apples, just concentrated so you don’t have to eat a five pound bag of apples every day!
I hope he will get better soon.
In the meantime, please get some rest! Assign others some of your tasks. You are not Wonder Woman. I know what it means to be the “doer” in the household. But if you don’t take care of yourself first, you can’t take care of everybody else.
Blessings.
Thanks again for this helpful info A. I’ve copied it to my brother after already making the D-Mannose suggestion in the family chat. I love your heart to help others & the wonderful info you & many other Q-Treepers share. We are enhancing the quality of each other’s lives. God Bless YOU!
it’s a shame we need ANOTHER law to enforce the CURRENT law.
That’s what I was thinking!
Lots of stuff I missed at CTH today, or technically yesterday.
Looks like DJT picked the wrong week to forget to stop himself from destroying all the anti-Trump podcast grifters in one fell swoop 😂

President Trump Blasts the Grifters, Blackpillers and Anti-MAGA Podcasters
April 9, 2026
SD: “I’m really glad to see this from President Trump, because it clears up the big question of whether he recognized what the blackpill/grifter crowd was doing to split the larger MAGA coalition. Turns out, yes — he definitely sees it.
.
Not only does he see it, but he takes the issue head-on. Very nice to see.”
.
[Via Truth Social] – “I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.
They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity.
Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE.
MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of “TRUMP,” not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” question, or “Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit.
Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax.
These so-called “pundits” are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA.
As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country.
MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!”
~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
“Marjorie “Traitor” Brown” I hadn’t seen this one before. “Brown” vs “Green” is that implying she’s a pile of..

Nice!
The first “lady” of France looks like she came from Planet of the Apes…
You’re just jealous because your country was headed by that hideous Merkel.
She was very attractive when she was younger (and definitely a woman). I suspect she’s had “work done,” which can have the opposite of the desired effect.
Zira was a hottie…

Could be Roddy McDowall, I suppose… 😂

Of course he sees it, LOL.

I love his showing how malleable they are. It’s not worth getting them on his side if they aren’t already there. What do they want, praise or power or to be in one of his inner circles?

Tucker Carlson Jumps the Shark – Attacks Rev. Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse with Ridiculous Smears and Lies
April 9, 2026
SD: “Apparently, Tucker Carlson thought it would be a good idea to use his platform to attack Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse and the faith-based community. Tucker Carlson made a big mistake.
There are situations that we sometimes have a great deal of familiarity with. The work of Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham is one of those situations for me. Readers here will know of my time spent as a CERT volunteer during national disasters, most of which involve hurricane relief.
I have worked closely with Samaritan’s purse, spent time inside that organization and know the scale of assistance they provide. They are, quite simply, the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.
On his podcast, Tucker Carlson and guest “Bro” Nathan Apffel spin a conspiracy tale that’s wildly out of touch with reality.
At the same time, they mock Christianity and Christian beliefs while taking aim at Franklin Graham, accusing him, among other things, of profiting from the Samaritan’s Purse mission.
You can watch Carlson and Apffel HERE. I’m not going to promote it, because it is sick, twisted, very dark and full of flat out lies.
Carlson even goes as far as to claim: Franklin Graham has a billionaire doomsday bunker in Alaska which he created from the donations to the organization, Samaritan’s purse has a $2.5 billion war chest and ownership of private airplanes worth $15o million which Graham and his leadership use for personal travel and self-enrichment.
Let me be very specific and very clear, every single thing they claim is false; demonstrably false and easily disproven for anyone who spent even five-minutes looking at the IRS filings of the organization [SEE HERE].
Why Tucker Carlson would choose to attack Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse is a bewildering question. President Trump’s decision to ostracize Carlson from any contact with the White House completely makes sense now.
Listening to the dark voices and whispers on your shoulder, is dangerous. That internal gnawing inside the spirit of Carlson is NOT the voice of God.”
(more…)
That Apffel guy, (never heard of him) looks like he just crawled out from under a rock.
Regarding bunkers, airplanes, and other assorted goodies [such as getting paid], what is wrong with that as long as the organization is delivering the services it professes to provide? Does it not say in Scripture that a man is worthy of his hire [meaning he gets paid for his labor]?
What Carlson is saying is that people should work for free and see how many coins get tossed into the hat. I say every rich guy is entitled to his wealth as long as he didn’t steal it or use fraud to get it.
The problem is when he starts using the wealth to sell lies.
Does he claim the org is near broke when it is flush with cash?
Does he pay himself first and the org gets crumbs?
Does he claim his org is helping certain groups when it really isn’t?
Screw these losers. On second thought, no thanks.
“Why Tucker Carlson would choose to attack Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse is a bewildering question.”
I’m not bewildered at all. Carlson is under demonic influence; he told us he is. Nobody wants to see it, but it’s pretty plain.
The greatest trick the Devil ever played, is convincing people he doesn’t exist.
Even as I write the above, I hear the doubting voice in my head, that comes from the world; “that’s crazy,” it whispers. “You can’t believe that.”
YES I CAN.
Something has definitely gotten into him, that’s for sure.
“The Screwtape Letters” of C.S. Lewis…
Tucker’s gone ’round the bend.
I never expected him to go full looney-tunes!
Sad.
Oh well – f*”* him too! So tired of fakes and grifters…
Like Wormtongue…
I posted a link to Tucker interviewing someone the other day, but I don’t think I saved it. I didn’t watch the video, but there was a guide showing what was being said at various minute markers. It looked to me as if Tucker is analyzing many organizations that are considered Christian. He appears to just be tearing them down. It’s similar to Candace Owens, who can make anything appear suspicious.
Speaking of Union Pacific’s collection of “show-off” locomotives, there is this one —
The scale of this locomotive is massive. It registers to your mind more like a building than a mechanism…..and then it snorts, and hisses, and chugs, and pieces of it start to move — and then the whole thing lurches and staggers and begins to roll.
The largest bit of this locomotive is its boiler. In front, that’s where smoke comes out, and in back that’s where the steam overflow valves are on top. Near the cab is a firebox, and tubes flow the heat through the water chamber into the front, where occasional puffs of steam blow smoke up the smokestack.
Just in front of the boiler assembly, mounted down low, are two semi-cylindrical elements in an assembly. The top one is valves and the bottom one is the actual piston assembly for power. Unlike automobile engines, pistons in steam engines are driven both forward and back by the steam.
The drive wheels are fixed to a solid axle between the sides of the locomotive, and the drive points are offset by 90 degrees. Accordingly, one side of the engine will be going “pull-idle-push-idle” while the other side goes “idle-push-idle-pull”, leaving little in the way of dead spots.
The Big Boy has two drive cylinders on each side. It would be lovely to think that they are all situated 1/8 of a turn from each other, but this is unrealistic. In operation, steel wheels frequently slide on steel rails. Regular steam locomotives have two domes on top of the boiler — a steam dome to dry out the steam, which has gauges and whistles on it — and a sand dome, where there is a mechanism to dribble sand between the wheels and rails.
Very cool video.
If it played … 😠
What browser did you use?
Brave Nightly works fine!
Same as Firefly. Brave. Which is my Go To.
I have the Trix H0 model of the loco (1:87) and IT’S HUGE and HEAVY! One-and-a-half feet long and almost THREE POUNDS!
And they were talking about a 4-8-8-8-8-4…. but the infrastructure couldn’t take it… in fact most of the remaining trackage isn’t able to handle the 4000-series locos, with Milpitas(!) being one of the places where the 4014 can get refreshed and relaxed, and maybe listen to some Mariachi music while downing some Margaritas and diesel… (I made that last part up 🙂 )…..
Similar problem to the A380 getting berth space (berth control?)….
They made these for hauling freight trains over mountains between the Pacific Coast and the Great Plains. There is no business reason whatsoever to run them in 30 states, despite them being glorious monsters…..
I know… I come from a family of railroaders… and saw a BigBoy (probably on the way to being mustered out) in the late 1950s as we were traveling to WV… my Dad spotted it going the other direction to us, yelled “BIG BOY!!!!” at the top of his lungs (halfway scaring us to death), made a probably illegal crossing of the median (actually a quick and dirty U-Turn) and drove like heck to catch up with it… ahhh… those were they days.
They were definitely a purpose-built locomotive, but they fulfilled that purpose perfectly (one might alliterate 🙂 )…..
Trix H0 model
What is a Trix H zero? I’ve heard of HO model trains but not H zero …
You didn’t really think you could slide that one past me, did you? 😂
It IS H0… That’s the name of the Scale; it’s not a toy gauge… (i.e. tinplate)…
Looks like an “O” in most typefaces… with fonts like that, who needs enemies…
From Wackypaedia… note that Old Blighty also has 00 scale 🙂
HO scale
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HO_scale)
HO or H0 is a rail transport modelling scale using a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot). It is the most popular scale of model railway in the world. The rails are spaced 16.5 millimetres (0.650 in) apart for modelling 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks and trains in HO.
The name HO comes from 1:87 scale being half that of O scale, which was originally the smallest of the series of older and larger 0, 1, 2 and 3 gauges introduced by Märklin around 1900. Rather than referring to the scale as “half-zero” or “H-zero”, English-speakers have consistently pronounced it /eɪtʃ oʊ/ and have generally written it with the letters HO. In other languages it also remains written with the letter H and number 0 (zero); in German it is thus pronounced as [ha: ‘nʊl]. In Japan, many models are produced using 1:80 scale (16.5 mm track is still used).
History
After the First World War there were several attempts to introduce a model railway about half the size of 0 scale that would be more suitable for smaller home layouts and cheaper to manufacture. H0 was created to meet these aims. For this new scale, a track width of 16.5 mm (0.65 in) was designed to represent prototypical standard-gauge track of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8.5 in) width, and a model scale of 1:87 was chosen. By as early as 1922 the firm Bing in Nuremberg, Germany, had been marketing a “tabletop railway” for several years. This came on a raised, quasi-ballasted track with a gauge of 16.5 mm, which was described at that time either as 00 or H0. The trains initially had a clockwork drive, but from 1924 were driven electrically. Accessory manufacturers, such as Kibri, marketed buildings in the corresponding scale.
At the 1935 Leipzig Spring Fair, an electric tabletop railway, Trix Express, was displayed to a gauge described as “half nought gauge”, which was then abbreviated as gauge 00 (“nought-nought”). Märklin, another German firm, followed suit with its 00 gauge railway for the 1935 Leipzig Autumn Fair. The Märklin 00 gauge track that appeared more than ten years after Bing’s tabletop railway had a very similar appearance to the previous Bing track. On the Märklin version, however, the rails were fixed to the tin ‘ballast’ as in the prototype, while the Bing tracks were simply stamped into the ballast, so that track and ballast were made of a single sheet of metal.

Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 is currently on the Western leg of its historic coast-to-coast tour, running from March 29 to April 24, 2026, with the Eastern leg scheduled to begin on May 25, 2026.
The Western leg features 27 whistle-stops across Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California, including major public displays in Roseville, California (April 10–11) and Ogden, Utah (April 18–19).
The Eastern leg is expected to conclude on July 29, 2026, with anticipated stops in St.
Louis, Kansas City, Indiana, Ohio, and Altoona, Pennsylvania, before reaching Philadelphia for a special Independence Day display.
While the Western leg had no passenger excursions, the Eastern leg will likely offer more detailed public viewing opportunities as the full schedule is finalized and released closer to the dates.

Susan Kokinda on Trump’s Gambit: Civilizational Expansion or Nihilistic Western Decline
April 9, 2026
SD: “Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action gives her perspective on the negotiated ceasefire with Iran. Kokinda notes the key players were Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey (she missed China).
In a lesser reported part of the background, Chairman Xi Jinping summoned the Pakistani negotiators to Beijing prior to the terms of agreement with Trump. The summoning happened right after Trump said he was going to target the full force of the U.S. military against Iranian infrastructure.
Why does that matter to China? Belt and Road. Beijing has built a railway from China into Iran for the transport of goods and raw materials (including energy products) out of Iran (sanctions avoidance) in exchange for shipments of weapons. If President Trump targeted the railway infrastructure, in combination with the oil shipments being hampered, ¹China would be in a very bad place. Hence the summoning to get a ceasefire.
Focusing too narrowly on the British Empire as the source of all problems and you miss things. Mrs Kokinda missed this:
[SOURCE]
¹China in a bad place due to the middle east in crisis, means China becomes more dependent on Russia for oil, gas and ultimately fuel. Internally, Russia isn’t a big fan of their Chinese dependencies.
If FUBAR in Iran remained the statis, the two countries not in any crisis would be the USA and Russia, both with oil/gas and extra refining capacity. The countries/regions in biggest crisis would be China, Europe and Southeast Asia.
The U.S. and Russia less affected. China and the EU more affected. A significant geopolitical paradigm shift, all things considered…. and it appears that Beijing saw it coming.”
The last few C&Cs (Coffee&Covid) have had quite a lot of info on this….
SD misses the China-UK connections.
Xi seems to be trying to destroy those connections.

HUGE NEWS: BILL INTRODUCED TO DESIGNATE CAIR AS A TERROR ORGANIZATION
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has introduced new legislation to designate CAIR as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization. What the bill would do:
• Freeze CAIR’s assets
• Ban Americans from interacting with the organization
• Revoke its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status
Roy: CAIR is “not an innocent nonprofit” but an organization that facilitates terrorism under that cover.
The bill, titled the Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026, aims to bring full federal enforcement against the group. Now the question: does this gain traction, or does it get buried in politics?
Is it going to be called “Islamophobia”?
https://nitter.poast.org/MOSSADil/status/2042501482277118150#m
ABOUT TIME!
i am tired of being labeled islamophobic. if i am, then i am…WGAS?
It’s just a smear – ignore the ‘hurty words’!
Besides, there are many valid reasons to expunge muzzies from our country and culture (no assimilation, trying to impose Sharia law, centuries of conquest, killing by whim, moderates become adherents when an imam arrives on scene, they hate us / Western countries … and they don’t like bacon, beer, free women, etc.).
It’s the *islamophiles* who are demented – like King Chuck, and the soon-to-be heir, Ayatollah William.
They are inimical to every other civilization except their own.
Paedophilia and goats, too.
Pure destruction, top to bottom.
Aloha Snackbar, heathens!
Lol.
I’d sure like to know how the law banning interacting with CAIR is going to deal with the First Amendment.
I’m pretty sure that the 1st makes it impossible to have such a provision.
On a related note, people should wonder about Mr. Roy’s personal values since he promotes something like this, buried inside of an otherwise desirable bill. Is he just sloppy or does he deliberately plan things this way?
I’ve my doubts about him. Side 👁 for sure.
He’a running for AG in Texas. Anything done until the election is for votes, IMO.

A senior Chinese Communist Party official reportedly had 26 children through U.S.-based surrogacy. All of them were born in the United States.
That means all are U.S. citizens under current birthright citizenship interpretations.
According to California officials, he even stated that one of those children, he hopes, could one day become president of the United States.
This is the kind of case driving the growing debate around birthright citizenship, foreign influence, and how U.S. law is being used in ways lawmakers never anticipated.
https://nitter.poast.org/Govt_Acct_Inst/status/2042245219056312386#m
Just as I suggested could happen.
yup. and if SCOTUS rules THIS is okay…then they need to be protested at every turn.
They won’t directly say this is okay. It will be some legal reason, that an “i” wasn’t dotted, or a jurisdictional matter, or a standing issue, or that only Congress can change it, etc.
maybe because a state is granting (selling) the citizenship and that’s a federal jurisdiction…???
That means all are treated as U.S. citizens under current birthright citizenship interpretations.
For utmost mental clarity, add the bold words.
i do not understand any court allowing CITIZENSHIP to be bought like a loaf of bread. I can be bestowed, upon taking a test and swearing an oath, but purchased like a commodity?
that denigrates us all.
For some reason, WordPiss said I can’t edit my comment. So here is what I wished to say:
————-
That means all are treated as U.S. citizens under current birthright citizenship interpretations.
For utmost mental clarity, add the bold words.
Keep in mind that when the Kim Wong Ark case was happening, the govt took the proper position – it said no and if Mr. Ark thought it was wrong, he had to sue.
Today, the govt just gives the person the viewpoint the person wants without a fight.
Why?
So money can be scammed from the taxpayers.
You don’t really think the Somali situation would be as bad if the answer to the first question was no, you’re not a citizen. You don’t really think each one of those ‘applicants’ would go to court to try and prove he/she was a citizen?

IIRC Pakis were granted the shortcut to British Citizenship at the same time (1953) that Indians were…
My Welsh Pop (grandfather) was always angry about that, and said that it would come back and hurt England, perhaps irrevocably… he also said the Common Market was nothing good for England, and if the RED Chinese ever got organized (think “Chinese Fire Drill” games we played as kids), they’d take over the world.
And he said that back in 1964…
sigh…he was right.
Yeah, they sound very British. Probably love bangers and mash, God save the Queen, and the Magna Carta.

NYPD-hating lunatic judge’s outrageous sentence in Bronx ‘cooler cop’ case is judicial abuse
A radical Bronx judge’s outrageous 3- to 9-year prison sentence for NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran surely qualifies as one of the worst judicial abuses ever to come out of a US courtroom.
The result will be fewer cops making fewer arrests, and crime spiking.
Judge Guy Mitchell slapped Duran after he found him guilty of manslaughter for having hurled a drink cooler at a scooter-fleeing drug suspect — who then fell, hit his head and died.
https://nypost.com/2026/04/09/opinion/nypd-hating-lunatic-judges-outrageous-sentence-in-bronx-cooler-cop-case-is-judicial-abuse/
Why anyone would live in New York, much less be a cop there, is beyond my comprehension.

there’s more…it infested my dreams for years–yikes!
Duran was part of a narcotics policing unit that conducted a “buy-and-bust” operation in the Bronx on Aug. 23, 2023. Police said Duprey sold drugs to an undercover officer, then tried to flee on a scooter.
Surveillance video showed Duprey driving the motorized scooter on a sidewalk toward a group of people. As he approached, the then-sergeant — who wasn’t in uniform — picked up a bystander’s cooler and threw it.
The container struck Duprey, who lost control of the scooter, slammed into a tree and crashed onto the pavement. Duprey was not wearing a helmet. He sustained fatal head injuries and died almost instantly, according to prosecutors. ~~~~~~~~~~~
This wasn’t a simple stand-on scooter. It was the same type as the 2 guys who shot and killed the baby recently in NYC. He should’ve had on a helmet by law but hey drug dealers have to make a living.

You’re welcome. I like to know the details because so often that’s where we see the part the criminal played in his own death. I’m sure his grieving family will pick up a few mil after they sue. 😡

The Essential Workers bill proposes a new H-2C visa program for critical jobs that do not require a college degree but are essential to business operations and U.S. economic growth. (Coalition Statement, Sept. 17)
“Job creation and job preparation must go hand-in-hand,” Rep. Smucker said. “Investing in opportunities to strengthen our workforce and grow our economy is a win-win for American workers and businesses.” (Rep. Smucker Press Release)
There is an estimated shortage of 500,000 construction workers. Without additional labor, efforts to build more housing and address the nation’s affordability crisis will remain stalled. (Associated Builders and Contractors, Jan. 24)
God forbid we make these jobs more attractive to Americans. No, the answer always comes back to cheap, cruddy labor.
And if that’s not bad enough, look at who’s cheering this mess on.

I am so sick of congress people voting for their donors and not their constituents!
“…I am so sick of congress people voting for their donors and not their constituents!….”
Blame the TREASONOUS Supreme Court that has been undermining the US Constitution for 100 or more years!
WIKI
A PERSON who is CEO can make donations so there was NO limiting of Free Speech.
The campaign finance laws, need to be made very simple. Each US CITIZEN gets to donate a MAX of $1,500 per year PERIOD. NO PACs or other methods to allow the oligarchs a disproportionate advantage over the average person.
We are SUPPOSED to have a government BY the PEOPLE not a government BY THE WEALTHY… IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
agreed!
UNITED STATES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
UNITED STATESGLOBALIST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.Correct me if I’m wrong. This proposal is for new, future applicants? The millions that already slithered in don’t count? Among those millions they can’t find a few thousand essential construction workers?
i dunno. if they’re illegal, they could slither back to their country and apply? i honestly don’t know.
Yeah I guess but why do they have to make a new get-in class when we should be putting a moratorium on any newcomers for years and years.
Especially for unskilled labor, if it was some genius or something I could see, but day labor? Really, a new classification? What next…special dispensation for hotel service workers, yard maintenance, etc
hotel workers might even be included in this. chamber of commerce wants their cheap labor. this is exploitation…iow…slave labor.
I think it’s a slippery slope. Once they do anything of that kind, any flavor of amnesty whatsoever, it will be the basis for future bills of “compassion,” “dignity,” or whatever name they want to call it.
Yes yes yes
V-e-t-o.
But yes, RINOs are despicable!
islam IS Sick.
FYI: some of these Mullahs operate Islamic brothels where men can go and get a temporary marriage to girls as young as 9 years old (1-2 hours).
Welcome to the 47 year hell Iranians have been suffering in.
A police officer in Savojbolagh, Alborz province, held a one-month temporary marriage with a woman on the night of the ceasefire announcement on Tuesday, freshly surfaced video showed.
Temporary marriage, known in Islam as mut’ah and in Iran as sigheh, is a practice permitted under Shia jurisprudence in which a couple contract a union for a fixed period — ranging from hours to years — with terms agreed in advance.
this is not a marriage.
if the female is 9 years old, this is approved pedophilia.
if she’s of consenting age (and no 9 year old can consent) it is dating.
nothing about islam is religious. it’s hero worship at best and immoral for the most part.
It’s child molestation, abuse, and rape…
Have to wonder where all the Feminazis are, who would supposedly be vigorously protesting such behavior…. maybe they aren’t really pro-women after all…. 😡 😡 😡 😡
They are PRO-Communism.
Child brides are sanctioned under Islamic Law. Mohammad’s last wife, Aisha, was 6 years old when he married her. He consummated the marriage when she turned 9 years old, because Mohammad judged her “mature” enough to have sex at that age.
In other words, religion-sanctioned child marriage between a very young Muslim female and an older Muslim male.
“Temporary marriage” in Islam, IMO, is nothing more than religion-sanctioned rape. The female doesn’t get her virginity back. That alone makes her “used goods” in Islamic thought. What if the “temporary bride” gets pregnant during the “temporary marriage”?
IIRC A muslim man can divorce a wife by repeating I divorce thee (‘Talaq’ ) three times.
That is correct.
If there children born (or the “temporary wife” gets pregnant) during the “temporary marriage”, the “fatwas” and teachings are somewhat unclear.
Example: Some Islamic scholars state that if there are daughters born of the marriage, they stay with the mother until around 7 years of age, at which time the father takes custody.
No matter what, any child born of a Muslim marriage, according to Islamic teaching, must be raised as a Muslim.
Women are nothing in islam. Nothing. They are objects to be used and discarded by men. That’s it.
The world needs to wake up. islam is POISON. It is EVIL. That poison needs to be eradicated, or at minimum, contained. But in my opinion, that containment should, if we are a moral people, include no females who want to leave. That should be the goal, an open gate out of islam for women.
agreed.
Agreed that females in Islam are nothing — they are, instead, property (chattel) to be used and/or disposed of as the male Muslim sees fit.
The issue regarding female Muslims who want to leave Islam is another situation. Muslims who leave Islam are “apostate” in Islamic teaching. These “apostates” are to be “invited” to “repent” and to “return to Islam and resolve [their] doubts.” BUT — “if he persists in his apostasy after that, he is to be put to death.”
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/14231/punishment-for-apostasy-in-islam
That’s why the males need to be contained. They can kill each other. They like to use rape as a “punishment” against other men, so they can do that to each other, too.
“Apostate” from islam should be a celebrated condition.
For years I’ve posted, females subjected to islam should be armed with a semi automatic pistol.
This also extends to every female being abused, or basic day-to-day protection.
Sorta like Gun Rights should be universal Rights.
Per a “fatwa” issued in 2014, a Muslim female may carry a firearm — but only where it can be seen. No “concealed carry”, since that would mean “showing her body” to males, which would then make the males have “unclean thoughts.”
So, according to this “fatwa”, a Muslim woman can open carry, but not do concealed carry. It is interesting that the particular firearm mentioned in the “fatwa” is an AK47.
https://ctc.westpoint.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/NMEC-2015-125621_Fatwa41_English.pdf
Eradicated. islam is evil.
The problem is Islamic women are often the nastiest to other women. I think it is because that is their only source of power.
If I was treated like those women get treated, I imagine I would hate everybody.

Yet another treasonous judge!!!
Just The News: “A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Pentagon cannot impose its new press restrictions, which he claimed was an effort to negate his previous order. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman last month dismissed parts of the Pentagon’s guidelines released last year and ordered it to restore the press passes of seven journalists for the New York Times.
The War Department then changed its protocols late last month for its media briefing room, which includes the relocation of reporters to workspace outside the Pentagon. It also closed the correspondents’ corridor within the Pentagon.
Friedman said in his latest ruling that he “has no choice but to conclude that the Department’s abrupt closure of the Correspondents’ Corridor and its ban on credentialed journalists traveling unescorted through the Pentagon are not security measures or efforts to make good on prior commitments but rather transparent attempts to negate the impact of this Court’s Order.”
The judge also said War Secretary Pete Hegseth is attempting to control the message that Americans receive from the Pentagon and Trump administration in violation of the Constitution’s design for a free press.
“The curtailment of First Amendment rights is dangerous at any time, even more so in a time of war,” Friedman wrote. “Suppression of political speech is the mark of an autocracy, not a democracy — as the framers recognized when they drafted the First Amendment.”
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Trump administration plans to appeal the ruling and claimed the department has attempted to abide by the judge’s previous ruling. “The Department remains committed to press access at the Pentagon while fulfilling its statutory obligation to ensure the safe and secure operation of the Pentagon Reservation,” he said, according to Deadline.”
(my comments)
If I were a court reporter, would I be allowed unescorted access to anywhere?
Could I go into the JUDGE’S chambers whenever I wanted to, to report on upcoming decisions?? NO!
this judge is out of bounds!
This is what happens when trying to “accommodate” to a previous ruling by a leftwing judge. The “accommodation” is treated as “the foot is in the door”, so the setup is in place to push the “accommodation” demands further and further to the left.
i see nothing stifling about having the press in another building. access to the Pentagon should be restricted to those with top secret security clearances. allowing reporters to roam unescorted is ridiculous.
can they roam the SCOTUS building or Congress or the WH unescorted, no!
Agreed. It appears that the judge wants “freedom of the press” to include roaming the halls of the Pentagon, of the White House, etc. Maybe even roaming around in the private quarters of the President. Maybe even roaming around inside the private offices of Pentagon brass (or of anyone else in the Pentagon), not just in the hallways. Maybe even bugging these offices. Who knows how far some judge can “order” this to go?
exactly!
Sounds like that judge should have a gaggle of journalists invade his office and court room.
AND then when he has them tossed SUE HIM CITING HIS RULING!
Just get a Mir-A-Lago search warrant. Then it’s okay to rummage through underwear drawers.
Just Say No. Ignore all “orders” from this ass wipe judge.
This one hour video is about the UK version of USAID and other spy networks. The primary focus is Lebanon, but they also show the Coup that is being run against Trump.
5:30 Understanding Torch Light
6:33 — Colonel Towner: I have always said all roads lead to London. I stumbled
across a bunch of information in four different articles and I’m still trying to consolidate and make them make sense. So, this is what I’ve found out so far…
She goes into some of the terms and the USA equivalents.
At 22 minutes it gets into the really interesting stuff: Digital surveillance tools
At 29 minutes: Manipulation and disinformation
At 36 minutes Online psychological warfare Wolf will be VERY interested in this. It is down right frightening what these SOBs can do!
Alpha says as military and then as a LEO HE USED some of these techniques. The colonel says those are at least 20 year out of date. Alpha goes on and explains some of the uses.
At 46 minutes: Societal and political impacts
At 48 minutes the Colonel says they specifically target women + kids to psychologically manipulate into operatives. These are easy targets using empathy and VERY VERY Useful because psychologically Alpha Male Police Officers are more reluctant to confront women and children AND the Fake News uses normie reactions to a MALE attacking a woman or kid. — NASTY.
ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OF AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION:
56:42 — Yes. And that brings up the whole point which I said earlier today.
Wait a minute. You’re telling me that you can find a heartbeat from space?
Where’s all the missing children? Anybody have an answer?
One of the answers is not one that people want to hear. But if a child goes missing and they have the ability that they can find human heartbeats in the local area, it begs the question, how did all of those children get lost?
So, I mean, it’s the same thing with all of the unaccountable people that come over the border. How’s that happen? If you’ve got the ability to see heat signatures, which we know they do, and you have drones, which we know they do, how did anybody get across the border unaccounted for?
Well, people think Faraday bags [are] is a good tool for concealing your digital footprint. But here’s the thing, the second you use your voice and someone else has their smartwatch, their smartphone or smart TV or an ATMs around, your voice just got picked up and now they know where you’re at again. The second you walk by something that has a retina scanner and you look in that direction, the second you go through an intersection that has the cameras that our law enforcement’s using. So people think that when they put their electronics in a Faraday bag that all of a sudden they disappeared and they become a ghost.
It’s not even remotely close.
That’s why, and I’m not saying that it keeps it somewhat hidden, but I have never turned on any voice activation thing on any electronics. It’s not that they don’t have my voice on podcast, of course they do, but when it comes to having it embedded in your phone or doing that face scan or any of that other stuff, there’s no way I’m doing any of that stuff. So, it’s crazy.
That is a good point that you basically have to leave all of your stuff at home and walk out a mile into the woods [laughter] to have a conversation that you don’t want to have monitored.
Yeah. That’s that’s it.
That’s it. Or going to a room and I give you a notepad and I take a notepad [laughter] and we start writing stuff down. A room with no TVs, nothing electronic in it, you know, because that’s why I’m saying you need to go out in the woods. There is nowhere in the house because I have security cameras. I got all that Schiff, so you got to go in the woods. That that that’s where it’s at. And you have to be real careful about that here because we have alligators. [laughter]
Yeah, I ain’t playing with that.
I do struggle with this, Colonel, because I mean, my background is military and law enforcement. So, I’ve seen how you can use these these kind of tools for the right reasons. And actually protect people and and take down the bad people.
The problem is, do you trust the people wielding these powers? And right now, they’ve proven they are not trustworthy. It’s not a matter of most Americans don’t want to trust them. They have proven themselves 100% not trustworthy. And like I said, it’s easy, for us to say we don’t want it. Get rid of that technology. It’s easy to say that, given our fourth amendment, right to privacy. But at the same time, our enemies know about our feelings as being constitutional Americans and they exploit that.
Yes.
And and so it’s becomes where’s the happy medium here? Some people would argue there isn’t one and there’s a constitutional argument to be made for that. But at the same time, if we don’t use technology to protect ourselves, granted from a threat that the intelligence agencies created to begin with so that they could use this technology, but at the same time, the threat exists. The threat is real. You know, regardless of who created it, the threat is still real. And eyes on the ground, you know, human surveillance is is not enough. And so what’s that solution look like? And you know what I would say? Look like getting rid of every [f..king ] intelligence agency that creates this threat to begin with.
for the love of mike…he’s really off the deep end now…”

Just The News: “Former first son Hunter Biden challenged current first sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump on Thursday to a cage match during stops on a tour he’s appearing at later this month.
The former first son said he was invited to the tour by conservative social media commentator Andrew Callaghan, who is trying to orchestrate the match.
“He asked me to come out on the ‘Channel 5’ Carnival Tour at the end of the month,” Hunter said of Callaghan in an X post. “I think he’s trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr.”
“I told him I’d do it — 100% in — if he can pull it off. And if he can’t, I’m still coming,” he added.
Biden is expected to make appearances in Phoenix, San Diego and Albuquerque, according to the New York Post.
Neither of the two Trump sons have publicly commented on the challenge so far.”
He’s just keeping himself in the news for $$$$

This is political transgenderism, and it’s a longstanding problem with Ohio’s primary process. We had to go all the way to the nation’s highest court to fight a blatant attempt by a self-declared Democrat to hijack a Republican primary contest.
This individual took advantage of an open primary process that’s far too vulnerable to trickery and fraud and used it to advance his dishonest campaign to “run Democrats as Republicans.” We stopped it this time, but it’s time to adopt a closed primary process and partisan voter registration before this happens again.

there must be some incoming class for new congress critters on selling snake oil. what they’re calling dignity is thievery with congressional approval.
buying future votes, stealing taxpayer funds to pay for it all. there is no dignity for taxpayers–just bend over and be grateful for getting reamed again.
It’s a new twist in their we-own-minorities playbook. It used to be blacks, now it’s illegals.
you’re absolutely right.
I agree with Jefferson:

Unfortunately the darn pony STILL swings his head (and nips) FA – FO does not seem to work on him. He was given treats all the time by his former owner and is STILL trying to convince us we should give him treats 10 years later. 🙄

Verse of the Day for Friday, April 10, 2026
✟
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
1 John 5:7 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 1 JOHN 5:7
Brotherly love is the effect of the new birth, which makes obedience to all God’s commandments pleasant. (1-5) Reference to witnesses agreeing to prove that Jesus, the Son of God, is the true Messiah. (6-8) The satisfaction the believer has about Christ, and eternal life through him. (9-12) The assurance of God’s hearing and answering prayer. (13-17) The happy condition of true believers, and a charge to renounce all idolatry. (18-21)
6-8 We are inwardly and outwardly defiled; inwardly, by the power and pollution of sin in our nature. For our cleansing there is in and by Christ Jesus, the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Some think that the two sacraments are here meant: baptism with water, as the outward sign of regeneration, and purifying from the pollution of sin by the Holy Spirit; and the Lord’s supper, as the outward sign of the shedding Christ’s blood, and the receiving him by faith for pardon and justification. Both these ways of cleansing were represented in the old ceremonial sacrifices and cleansings. This water and blood include all that is necessary to our salvation. By the water, our souls are washed and purified for heaven and the habitation of saints in light. By the blood, we are justified, reconciled, and presented righteous to God. By the blood, the curse of the law being satisfied, the purifying Spirit is obtained for the internal cleansing of our natures. The water, as well as the blood, came out of the side of the sacrificed Redeemer. He loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word; that he might present it to himself a glorious church, #Eph 5:25-27|. This was done in and by the Spirit of God, according to the Saviour’s declaration. He is the Spirit of God, and cannot lie. Three had borne witness to these doctrines concerning the person and the salvation of Christ. The Father, repeatedly, by a voice from heaven declared that Jesus was his beloved Son. The Word declared that He and the Father were One, and that whoever had seen him had seen the Father. And the Holy Ghost, who descended from heaven and rested on Christ at his baptism; who had borne witness to Him by all the prophets; and gave testimony to his resurrection and mediatorial office, by the gift of miraculous powers to the apostles. But whether this passage be cited or not, the doctrine of the Trinity in Unity stands equally firm and certain. To the doctrine taught by the apostles, respecting the person and salvation of Christ, there were three testimonies. 1. The Holy Spirit. We come into the world with a corrupt, carnal disposition, which is enmity to God. This being done away by the regeneration and new-creating of souls by the Holy Spirit, is a testimony to the Saviour. 2. The water: this sets forth the Saviour’s purity and purifying power. The actual and active purity and holiness of his disciples are represented by baptism. 3. The blood which he shed: and this was our ransom, this testifies for Jesus Christ; it sealed up and finished the sacrifices of the Old Testament. The benefits procured by his blood, prove that he is the Saviour of the world. No wonder if he that rejects this evidence is judged a blasphemer of the Spirit of God. These three witnesses are for one and the same purpose; they agree in one and the same thing.
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.

The image yesterday used by multiple news outlets of the tp warehouse suspect was wrong. This is the suspect photo. Still no info on immigration status.
https://patch.com/california/banning-beaumont/man-facing-multiple-charges-after-blaze-engulfs-ie-warehouse-police
It warms my heart that he won’t need to hassle with what he considered low wages. Prison will provide shelter and food hopefully for many years.
His cell shouldn’t have any toilet paper…….just ashes.
Good thinking!
👍
Yep. Still not an update on him or another update on the guy who set a bunch of fires at Ontario mills.
Looks like one of the Eastern European Mozzies…. say Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan or the like…
Could be.
$360 million for the NGOs to PAY the homeless to vote as directed.
oh shucks you saw thru their clever charade!
They’re just a bunch of Bass Turds…
There’re going to keep doing this until something stops them.
agreed. with a generous kickback to themselves as well.
100% right
Awesome reminder.

@overton_news
https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg Stephen A. Smith tried to TRAP Rep. Tim Burchett by asking if President Trump is fit for office due to his rhetoric on Iran.
Burchett didn’t take the bait and delivered a MASTERCLASS: “politics is a contact sport” and Trump gets results.
SMITH: “You have people out there calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked and for President Trump to be removed from office because they believe he’s unfit.”
“Where do you stand with all of that?”
“Is he fit for office in your estimation?”
BURCHETT: “I think he is.”
“They’re ain’t too many saints that get elected to that high of an office. It’s a rough and tumble world.”
“And people get roughed up.”
“Politics is a contact sport, and brother you better put your cup on and your better put your helmet on if you want to get in this game.”
“Trump negotiates with Teamsters in New York and it’s rough talk.”
“That’s just the way Trump is, he has no filter and he does not care. He wants to deliver the goods and that’s his goal.”
THAT is why we voted for Trump. No apologies.
nope. I can understand him. he’s not trying to blow smoke up my skirt.
Ashe says: . The list in the article above is the top five fraud investigations from the past 24 hours.
Badlands Article:
Fraud Investigations, Indictments & Convictions Happening All Over — Across States and Sectors
This badlands article also deserves a look-see:
House Judiciary Report Details Brazil Censorship Targeting US Speech
Another goody from Badlands:
DOJ Announces National Fraud Enforcement Division
Ashe in America: “…the DOJ is already handling more than 8,000 ongoing fraud matters, describing them as only a portion of the broader scope of abuse…”
👉Almost 100 new federal prosecutors are being added to the DOJ to investigate fraud.😍 And 8,000 cases is “only a portion” of the work for which they’re needed.
That’s a lot of fraud.
It’s also encouraging. The disclosures of the DOGE efforts require justice not just air time.
Hiring full time prosecutors implies that justice is part of the plan.
They can hire all the prosecutors in the world but if there’s not some kind of smackdown on the many many biased judges don’t know how it’ll turn out (says Debbie Downer)

oh well
huh, you OK?
yes…tried to post something a few different ways and I couldn’t figure it out and i couldn’t delete the comment so i had to say something…
thanks for asking though!
whew–YW 🙂
This will not stop the conspiracy con artists, unfortunately.
Absolutely right TT, they’ll keep on with the crazy ideas
who in the world would let someone like THIS keep his passport???
Walz and company probably advised him on his travel plans. Note to all fraud suspects, no flag on your passport it seems.
they were probably paid handsomely to look the other way.
An offering of a mushy banana, rice and some crisp American money.
How much cash did he leave with?

FFS!!!
muzzies claim that islam played a role in the development of…wait for it…the ALAMO! and they want credit/representation in Texas schools.
FTA
The fight over the standards has been raging for weeks, with local Muslim groups organizing in support of changes. In March, an Islamic center in Houston hosted a discussion on ‘challenging Islamophobia in Texas schools.’
Gill said that Islam played no major role in the founding or development of Texas and warned against what he described as ‘revisionist history.’
‘Students should be taught age-appropriate facts and hard-truths, even when it is uncomfortable. Islam did not play a role in the founding or development of Texas, and to say so would be an outright lie,’ he wrote.
Here’s the “logic.”
The Alamo was built in the 1700s as a Spanish mission for Catholic priests. Its purpose was to share the good news of Jesus Christ and serve Catholics moving into the area from Spain.
But the building incorporates architectural elements, like arches and geometric patterns, that have Moorish (Muslim) influence. If you go to Spain, you will find many buildings have this style.
Do you know WHY the Spanish were influenced by Islamic architecture?BECAUSE MUSLIM ARMIES LAID WASTE TO SPAIN AND RULED IT UNDER AN IRON FIST FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS!
https://notthebee.com/article/muslim-activists-claim-alamo-is-islamic
O M G…..make it stop.
they want to lay claim to Texas. that’s why there’s so many mosques.
It’s maddening.
They’ve learned the game of tearing down unique US history. It’s all the rage to slap a different race actor into every single historic figure and muddy the waters since half the country is dumb or wasn’t raised here and believe that crap.
they do not belong here.
they have no ties here.
just because a particular architectural style is employed in a building, doesn’t mean anything.
They don’t just do that destruction and revisionism in the USA; they do it EVERYWHERE.
It’s baked into their faux religion/culture (as in deadly virus in a Petri dish)…
Arches existed as a structural element long before the perversions of Mohammedanism ever poisoned this earth…..
They’re just lying.

@FloppingAces
California’s hospice scam just got nuked…and it’s glorious.
Healthy seniors playing pickleball were enrolled as “terminal” patients. Nurses handed out cash envelopes at the grocery store. One ring stole identities off the dark web, set up 14 fake hospices, and bilked Medi-Cal for $267 million…without providing a single legitimate service. Not one Band-Aid. Not one visit. Just pure fraud.
Feds called it “Operation Never Say Die.” They should’ve called it “Operation California-as-Usual.”
Now Democrats, who spent years ignoring or denying the grift, are suddenly rushing to take credit for the arrests. Gavin “Hairdo” Newsom is out there chest-thumping about accountability while casually taking shots at Trump…because apparently the real crisis wasn’t the hundreds of millions flushed down the toilet, but whether the President might pardon someone.
This is what happens when you turn end-of-life care into a government ATM with zero oversight. Medi-Cal is so broken you could probably bill them for hospice care for your dog and get paid in three days.
The fraud flood is just beginning. Arrests are pouring in. And the best part? Even the Democrats have stopped pretending this garbage doesn’t exist.
California: where “compassionate care” means duffel bags of cash and loaded Glocks in the back room.
The grift is dying. Finally.

HOLY CRAP! Scott Presler just got in touch with Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon after Scott found ILLEGAL ALIENS on the voter rolls in Eerie County, Pennsylvania
Purge the rolls and PASS the SAVE America Act!
Harmeet is about to set them straight!
PRESLER: “Just called the Erie County, PA, elections office to inform them to preserve the records because we are finding illegal aliens on their voter rolls.”
DHILLON: “Scott and I are in touch.” @AAGDhillon
This is why we need SAVE America. This must stop once and for all!
We need it, but it won’t stop it completely. Some will commit fraud no matter what. Some in Congress will look the other way. Some judges will be lenient on the fraudsters. But without SAVE America, we will (continue to) be a lawless country when it comes to financial fraud caused by illegals and foreigners who come here and vote. They will vote in those who encourage the fraud.

no celebrating our country’s 250th in Times Square–edict by Mandami
FTA
New York City Mayor Mamdani has banned people from celebrating America’s 250th birthday in Times Square, and he’s using the excuse of the World Cup to do it. New York is used to having large gatherings for games. I know it’s the World Cup, and it will be in New York the weekend of July 5th, but this is no excuse to ban gatherings in Times Square for such an occasion as America’s 250th birthday.
I don’t blame New Yorkers for being pissed, but this is what they get for voting that communist into office.
https://therightscoop.com/breaking-video-nyc-mayor-bans-people-from-celebrating-americas-250th-b-day-in-times-square/
This. Unbelievable that an event that comes around once in 250 years is prohibited. I hope they get it changed.

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful nights sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good nights rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer For Grace At The End Of The Day
Heavenly Father, as the day is drawing to its close I ask that Your continued love and presence be with me and with all that are Your children in Christ. Guard us through the long hours of darkness this night I pray, and keep us safe from all harm and dangers that may try to cross our threshold.
Give us, I pray, an untroubled night of rest and quietness of heart. May we be refreshed and renewed in body, soul and spirit as we rest our weary hearts in You through the hours of the night.
Lord, I pray that by Your great grace and mercy, You would grant us untroubled sleep so that we may rise up in the morning strong to do Your bidding. May we all rejoice for the dawn of a new day, knowing that Your mercies are new every morning. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

HOLY SMOKES. Due to new S*XUAL ASSAULT allegations, a staffer just RESIGNED from Eric Swalwell’s California campaign
BOMBSHELL! Swalwell is sinking!
He now faces s*xual allegations from multiple Dem staffers.
He should RESIGN and drop out!
There’s actually significant corroboration here. Far, far more evidence than Christine Blasey Ford ever had against Brett Kavanaugh—which Eric Swalwell argued was disqualifying.
Not only must he drop out of the governor’s race—he needs to resign from Congress.
A FIRST! Piglosi turns on a Dum Rat.
HOLY CRAP! Even former Speaker NANCY PELOSI (D-CA) just demanded Rep. Eric Swalwell drop out of the California governor’s race due to s*xual assault allegations
Pelosi says the accuser should be able to have her case heard “outside of a gubernatorial campaign”
He’s COOKED.
Separately, Schitty has UNendorsed Swallwell.
Maybe support should have been withdrawn when it came out that he was romantically involved with a Chinese spy.
NOW: Trump NASA chief Jared Isaccman just PERSONALLY arrived on-scene for the splashdown of the Artemis II crew
He really cares.
They’re about to enter the atmosphere HOT with the heat shield keeping them safe
ALMOST THERE!

PAVACA, Appreciate the spread of information today.
Today’s C&C mentioned HHS revived ACIP, with some repackaging.
When you have a few moments, your thoughts, please?
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/sequestered-friday-april-10-2026

Thank you.
HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., just rewrote the ACIP Charter document.
The new ACIP Charter, IMO, is his attempt at minimizing / removing the stranglehold of Big Pharma — Establishment Medicine — Big Money (Gates Foundation, etc.) — “Biden era” and “careerists” at HHS — the Federal Judiciary, on HHS, its divisions, and their actions/decisions.
The new ACIP Charter:
ACIP “reconstituted members roster” will have as many as 19 voting members.
The “new ACIP roster” will include members from OUTSIDE the “realms” of Establishment Medicine — for example, experts in statistics (like Dr. Retsef Levi) will now be on the committee.
There will be, for the first time, a real focus on VACCINE-INDUCED INJURIES that the “new ACIP members” will discuss — and will make “inroads recommendations” upon.
And more…
The new ACIP Charter is here:
https://www.cdc.gov/acip/about/acip-charter.html
Predictably, Establishment Medicine is going apesh!t over the new ACIP Charter:
https://www.idsociety.org/news-publications-new/articles/2026/changes-to-acip-charter-will-further-erode-confidence-in-vaccine-guidance/
Here’s the bombshell that nobody’s talking about:
The current director of the NIH — Dr. Jay Bhattacharya — was JUST APPOINTED TO ALSO HEAD THE CDC. He replaces James O’Neill, who stepped down from being Acting Director of the CDC in February 2026. Big Pharma and Establishment Medicine are going to lose their minds once they find this out.
The trick from here, IMO, is for HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., to MAKE SURE that HHS is NO LONGER BEING SABOTAGED / UNDERMINED FROM WITHIN THE AGENCY, OR FROM OUTSIDE.
Good news!
These are all hopeful developments! Thanks for the details 🙂
