American Stories.  (A series)

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

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

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

Musk…out performing as usual.  Cracking up here…

Elon Musk Confirms that SpaceX Is Headed for an IPO that Could Make Him an ‘Instant Trillionaire’

Elon Musk has confirmed reports that SpaceX is planning an IPO in 2026. Musk’s space exploration company could hit the market at a valuation above a trillion dollars, allowing individual investors to buy into his dreams of Mars while also massively increasing his personal fortune.

CNBC reports that tech tycoon Elon Musk has verified reports that his space exploration company is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026. Musk’s confirmation came in response to an article by Eric Berger from Ars Technica, which delved into the reasons behind the timing of the IPO and the role played by the rise of artificial intelligence and space-based data center opportunities.

Killing the penny was just the start. Trump is rewriting the rules on America’s coins

The next signs of the nation’s political divide might be jingling in your pocket next year.

  • The administration plans to issue a $1 coin with President Donald Trump’s likeness on it next year, despite a century-old precedent of not honoring sitting, or even living former, presidents on coins.
  • Instead of quarters honoring the abolition of slavery, granting women the right to vote and the Civil Rights movement, the Treasury will instead issue historical quarters featuring white men from the 18th and 19th centuries who were already well represented on currency and in historical tributes.

The new coins, coming after the administration stopped issuing new pennies earlier this year, underscore Trump’s drive to put his own stamp on the presidency far beyond the confines of the White House – whether it’s by putting his own face and name on US institutions or by pulling back on diversity efforts to reframe the story of America itself.

The US Mint on Thursday released the final coin designs for historical quarters celebrating the country’s 250th birthday next year. Rather than the fight against slavery or giving women the vote, the designs primarily honored a more homogeneous view of US history: George Washington for the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, James Madison and the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, as well as pilgrims to celebrate the Mayflower Compact.

“The designs on these historic coins depict the story of America’s journey toward a ‘more perfect union,’ and celebrate America’s defining ideals of liberty,” said Kristie McNally, the acting director of the Mint, in a statement.

The US Mint told CNN on Friday that instead of the previously recommended tribute quarters to abolition, suffrage and the Civil Rights movement, the new designs celebrate “American history and the founding of our great nation.”

The Trump dollar

The controversial Trump dollar coin is also part of Treasury’s plan to mark America’s 250th birthday.

The US Mint issued three different proposed coins Thursday with different likenesses of Trump, including one resembling his famous mug shot from 2023. Designs for the back include different versions of the American eagle.

A previously released version of coin would have also featured Trump on the back, raising his fist after an assassination attempt last year. However, US law prohibits images of living people on the backs of coins. The US Mint told CNN there is no such restriction on the front of coins, though it’s been US law since 1866 that living people can’t be on paper currency.

Still, Trump’s coin will only be the second time a US coin features a living president. The first was a half-dollar coin with both George Washington and then-President Calvin Coolidge issued in 1926 to mark the country’s 150th anniversary.

EU Elites in Panic Mode: Threaten Belgium with Bankruptcy Over Refusal to Rob Russian Assets – De Wever Stands Firm Against Brussels’ Madcap Scheme!

The crumbling edifice of the European Union (EU) is showing its true colors, and it’s uglier than a Brussels bureaucrat’s expense report.

In a stunning display of tyrannical overreach, the EU’s unelected overlords are now threatening Belgium’s newly minted Prime Minister Bart De Wever with financial Armageddon simply because he refuses to play along with their insane plot to steal $200 billion in frozen Russian assets.

Yes, you read that right: STEAL. Like common thieves in the night, targeting a sovereign central bank’s holdings parked safely in Belgium’s Euroclear system. This isn’t just policy wonkery; it’s a full-throated assault on national sovereignty, international law, and basic common sense.

The Internet Archive must not be our only resource to access the past

These days, we’re heading for an infotainment implosion.  Even though we have all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, many fail to grasp its meaning and importance, much less read past the headline and, at best, the first paragraph.  Meanwhile, we’re letting machines do our thinking for us.

Glenn Beck’s new A.I. project is meant to get ahead of the curve, and it’s laudable in all its goals.  But there is also a vital function that cannot be neglected: archiving and storing away the facts and data of our society.  At present, these critical functions are performed by entities such as the Internet Archive, doing a yeoman’s job at storing away these irreplaceable records.  They’ve come under attack recently and have had some breakdowns that point to a need for a separate system that performs the same function, albeit from a conservative point of view.  Thus, this is our case for Glenn Beck and everyone else to support a Freedom Archive.

Multiple systems are better than one or two.

Most preppers can recite the rule of three: “Three is two, two is one, and one is none.”  In other words, you need to have a couple of back-ups for every primary system that you rely on — water, food, self-defense, etc.  The same holds true in storing information.

In engineering terms, you don’t want to have one failure mode that will lead to disaster.

U.S. Govt Agency Verifies that Nine Large U.S. Banks Conducted Ideological Debanking Operations

Press Release – […] The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released preliminary findings from its supervisory review of debanking activities at the nine largest national banks it supervises: JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.

The OCC conducted its supervisory review in accordance with the President’s Executive Order “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” to determine whether these institutions debanked or discriminated against any customers or potential customers on the basis of their political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities.

“The OCC is committed to ending efforts – whether instigated by regulators or banks – that would weaponize finance,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould. “Although our work continues, the OCC is today providing visibility into the debanking actions against customers and lawful businesses taken by the nation’s largest banks to ensure public awareness, and to halt these harmful and unfair practices.”

Europeans in denial.  Dumbasses.

EuroTrash.

Watched the Nobel Prize ceremony yesterday — as a Stockholm resident living a 15-minute walk from City Hall. I thought about how Trump’s America has turned against us: they hate us for being 1. Cultured 2. International 3. Relevant. European civilization is beautiful — thank you again, Stockholm!

Publius.

I already ripped this lady earlier today, but I have been reflecting on her post more and wanted to make an additional point. I have traveled extensively in Europe, and while it may be the modern world, Europeans are vastly more hung up on matters of economic and social class, titles of nobility, differences in ethnicity and differences in race than America is. Despite its long history of attempting to be egalitarian, class still matters in Europe. Titles of nobility still matter. Generational wealth from centuries back still matters. Look at the stiffs in the photo. How many of them earned it? Americans of European descent escaped Europe to get away from that ossified class structure and to make their own way with unlimited opportunity, and that vision still separates us from Europe culturally and intellectually. In the movie “Gettysburg,” Jeff Daniels—playing Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain—delivered an amazing soliloquy, an excerpt of which goes like this: “America should be free ground — all of it. Not divided by a line between slave state and free — all the way, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here, we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here, you can be something. Here, is the place to build a home. But it’s not the land. There’s always more land. It’s the idea that we all have value — you and me.”

Dear MAGA: 20251211 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Another collection of TEMU TRINKETS. Don’t worship any of them – for all worldly things are IDOLS! But ordered here with increasing Godliness, enjoy these seven!

(1) Speaking of idols, this demonstration is straight outta CHURCH LADY 101. This song is oozing with downfall. Great beat and guitar, though! I loved this song back in the day. Get your “wise as serpents” on as you read the lyrics.

(2) Let’s move on to a quick and nostalgic review of SuSE musical parodies. A mixed bag of originals, spiritually, dissected by examination as cover versions with techie lyrics.

(3) Gonna go all “Steve” on y’all with an astronomy video. Turns out that neutron stars have a lot of interesting structure that’s requiring a lot of work to understand.

The AI narration is somewhat annoying, becoming more repetitive after the half-way point, but it’s still very educational, whether you stick it out or not.

(4) Let us transition [COUGH] away slowly from the idolatrous and the divinely created but nonetheless fully material toward [but not yet to] the divine, with this rendering of a still somewhat worldly song [watch the end of the video and check out this link].

(5) A nice, brief (2 minute) discussion of one of my favorite hymns. No music, just theology.

(6) And now the music – with the vocal part only as written lyrics – to aid in studying them. Consider these words in light of what is currently being launched against Trump and MAGA. Trump, who has done so much to return this nation to its Godly roots. Fortify thyself against the demons who attack!

(7) Now enjoy the music with vocals – a version I had not heard before. I found it worth going to YouTube to read the channel’s take on the song and its history.

Have a great weekend, as Christmas approaches!

2025.12.09 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 33

This overall Trumpmania lead will have a second part next week. Hang in there, I know these require more reading than you would ordinarily want to do. Maybe you need reading material during the start of the winter doldrums. 😀 At least I hope you do as some of the subjects are pertinent to the times we live in and some of the signers discussed this month are exceptional as we wind this down.

Next year’s dailies from American Stories will be shorter and more celebratory. To better appreciate what We the People will have accomplished with our patriot leadership, we need to “see” them planting the seeds of liberty from which our beautiful nation later grew as well as review the trials and tribulations of these real people, who were just like us.

PDT’s admin is doing so many incredible things it is hard to keep up. Yet, the few negatives are always the first some people run to point out. Human nature I guess. If you want to know more how the rubber meets the road for We the People with the big stuff, please read this and the next part a week from today.

Or you can pass and focus on the fake pipe bomber, Epstein, the sport of blowing up narcos, the commie in NYC, color revolutions and other bright shiny objects from both sides.

However, it is America and you are free to play hardball or softball.

For those still reading that I have not offended or bored yet, going back a month, NYC/VA/NJ have been blue for a long time. It is a hive for unproductive, self centered sheeple and foreigners who deem themselves your betters because they are employed by the corrupted federal bureaucracy and its private support system, which you the taxpayer funds that gives them perceived importance and power. They truly treat the tax payer and Treasury’s borrowed funds as their personal piggybanks to raid for whatever they think of they want. I am not trying to disparage everybody who lives there, just the applicable, which happens to be a strong majority. I intend to disparage them. They are leeches whether they know it or not. If they had any sense of decency at all they would stop and assist #47’s administration, or, quit their fake jobs and leave the area.

I know because I spent a number of years visiting, working with and observing these people and the area of our nation’s capitol. I saw some of the inner workings of government and politics tied to the industry of my career. It did not take long to figure it out, most everybody on the Qtree would do so as well given the opportunity.

For example, we already knew northern VA would carry that state with 90+% of the federal workers who reside there with their families being donkey Dems for life going back to their father’s fathers. However, seeing the long view we know that the federal layoffs and dismantling of their gravy trains spills over. Despite their scummy candidates winning, their personal economic pain will continue, not lessen. Many of those federal jobs are not coming back or will be on the chopping block in the future. The Trump Admin will also leave jobs unfilled and allow attrition to handle some of it. The downsizing and decentralization of the federal government will continue. Federal worker unions are being neutered through judiciary decisions. The donkey Dems and their networks will eventually have to find real jobs that do not exist in that region over the next few years. It will take a couple of election cycles for a significant number of them to move out or cry “uncle” before the GOP can assert itself there and take VA into the MAGA fold. Once you head away from the hive to the central and western side of the state you realize MAGA is healthy. Patience is urged, but will be rewarded. Even NJ will gradually come into play because of the same paradigm changing moves of the #47 administration. It is two states anyway – north and south are different.

Some people on our side are missing the timing of all of what #47 and the patriots are doing for the midterms and beyond. To simplify – keep the powder dry until it is time as Q posted and has been done by successful military strategists since gunpowder existed. The attention span of many American citizens is short enough as it is. Many are in the “what did you do for me today?” camp due to impatience or greed. However, for another segment there is real economic pain. The reason for that was summarized quite well by VP JD Vance in the recent cabinet meeting that was televised.

For non-citizens who have also been illegally voting the span of time left to take advantage of We the People is much shorter. They have to make what they make and do quickly before leaving or getting deported. Their days of ripping us off are numbered. We are in the early stages now that will continue to trend well. Those struggling to make ends meet will be seeing that strain ease as that issue is handled and the BBB benefits are realized.

My advice for some MAGA and fence riders is to stop giving lip service about taking the long view and start working with the Patriots to accomplish the long view. The long view is not the midterms or immediate product price relief. The MAGA economic development plan is not being built and implemented based on lowering the price of eggs and providing more affordable housing. Those are benefits of developing and building safeguards and legal protections around an economy that provides those and many other good byproducts from doing things Constitutionally in a capitalist economy. Focusing on micro to the exclusion of macro is what got us into this mess. PDT is bringing a full bore strategy of abundance to all people of the world who seek peace and success. The leftist idgits always operate on power seeking and scarcity of wealth that they can hoard.

Sometimes it all seems too much to comprehend to know how to help. Simply calling the ICE hotline on suspected illegals helps you and your fellow citizens. The link to that number and a summary of what they do is below,

https://www.ice.gov/tipline

Volunteer as an election worker where you live. You will get to visit with folks and observe. If you see something, say something.

It all adds up and you will be contributing to the success of America.

Product Prices

The current prices that average Americans pay should not be expected to drop significantly except for those costs that are tied to fuel prices. If they do drop like egg prices have, great, will take it. What matters most is the drop in crude oil prices as that long term strategy impacts product costs worldwide. Worldwide effects are important because of how much we import from other countries and use as consumers. For economic sanctions to work to help stop forever wars and commie aggression, the supply of crude oil has to be increased and domestically controlled. Once some of the international warring is handled by PDT, the world oil supply will strongly increase and with it, significantly decrease fuel costs to users. That is when food and household items will start moving down in price more because they are interrelated. Supplies increase, lesser number of buyers as illegals depart, wars stop so market disruption is less, and as a result prices trend down.

However, there has been a wildcard to address. The corresponding supply of final product fuels being produced from refineries in our country has not been materially increased for decades. We need more refinery capacity to get it to the pump in sufficient volumes to drop the prices to where most Americans can really benefit. #47 and the GOP are on it, the plans and development for it are being completed behind the scenes and out of the fake media. Another factor in why the gas prices have not dropped even faster is that PDT has been refilling the strategic oil reserve that Brandon depleted to pretend gas prices had stabilized in the lead up to the 2024 election. When that is finished there will be less crude oil demand and more supply available, which drops prices. But for now, national defense matters. PDT is using the current positive momentum to take care of our security needs as a nation.

This point is important. The first major new refinery since 1976 – a half century – is being built in Brownsville, TX and will come on line in 2027. It will add 160 K barrels a day to the nation’s supply. That is a roughly 1% increase of current domestic production. As discussed above we need more refining capacity to replace aging facilities and add capacity to existing wherever possible. To accomplish they had to neuter the EPA and state government resistance. That takes some time. About 20% of domestic refining production is in blue Cali under Newscum. So, who do you you think has been undermining the overall industry there? Yup.

The primary, macro way to clear the restrictive decks to increase capacity and thereby lower pricing at the pumps is through deregulation and declaring a national energy emergency. That cuts the red tape and leftist ability to obstruct. Well, guess what happened on the first day of #47’s term? Yup, refining was included in this EO.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-energy-emergency/

Moving on, if prices of food and household items only stabilize or drop moderately in the short term, what else can we expect? With vehicles as an example, #47 and cabinet already handled the emissions issue that drove up prices by a $1000 + per average vehicle with even more costs to be added to comply in the future with the onerous (or is that odorous?) manufacturer fleet mandate that forced EV on the nation. He also opened the doors to the small, cheap car industry at the same time. You can expect more of the same with appliances, HVAC, furniture and so on. For what it is worth, the mandate away from freon was one of those scams as well.

As a result we can expect big ticket items to stabilize in price where they are and possible drop a little. If that happens, how does the average American who cannot afford them now get by? The answer is Increased income, which is primarily real wage increases plus reduced taxes. The sources for that increase in available household incomes are; the federal income tax bite is much smaller, child tax credits went up, long term interest rates are trending down, the manufacturing sector wage base is strongly increasing in job quantity and compensation, illegals taking jobs and housing is strongly declining, reduced legal immigration taking available jobs is happening and so on.

More good jobs with benefits + smaller labor pool available to work said jobs + much stronger economic activity overall + lower tax bill = Rising wages, personal incomes and greenbacks available for average Americans across all aspects of the economy.

Trojan Horse Issues

#47 and patriots are addressing the employer use of non-citizens at an increasing pace. Deportations, reductions in quotas, and revoking of visas, and raiding and fining offending employers is happening rapidly. So, let’s not make the mistake of believing the lack of fake media attention and patriot updates on the numbers means the deportations, reductions, and revocations have slowed or are not happening. Remember, the enemy does not need to know everything, just stuff that influences a reaction that benefits MAGA in some fashion.

The fake media has long been an important mercenary for the enemy. You will see an example of this going back nearly 250 years ago concerning an amazing founding father that finishes this series at the end of the month.

For examples today, have you noticed how little they talk about Ukraine now? Ukraine no longer commands the attention and money flow they crave. No little blue and yellow flags everywhere including the halls of Congress. The fake news industry helped the uniparty neocons siphon off $350 B of tax payer funds we did not have with Ukraine alone. The spigot turned off and they moved on to the next scam. A similar deemphasis is occurring with COVIDiocy and the jabs. The remake of the CDC and FDA is well underway. They may not be perfect, but they will be much improved. Truth and research is beginning to flow into the public domain more often. For example, say goodbye to the recommended 72 jab childhood vaccination schedule forced on physicians and staff to sell to unwitting families.

The fake news absence has been happening with DOGE media reporting. Their and leftist politician attacks against DOGE have all but died out. They lost the fight against it. SCOTUS ruled and DOGE continued retooling the entire operating system of the federal government in addition to addressing fraud, waste and abuse. It is completing its mission and has inspired some states to incorporate their own versions into their operations. So, the fake media’s leaking sources are easy to draw out as well. Below is an example.

Put out a fake story within the patriot admin, see which azzhat leaker(s) hands it off to the enemy (fake news). If nobody does, leave it laying on a desk where somebody from the enemy can see it when they are in the vicinity. Boom – you get to have some fun at their expense.

As Q said, these people are stupid.

Do you fully grasp what all DOGE is doing (in Trump time) means? The reworked operating system will provide much more legit, real time information instead of the dated, wrong, manipulated BS of the past using far less leftist, make-work deep state bureaucrats. Enter the age of AI and effective government.

Also, no more of SD’s silos. They never existed anyway. Everybody on the Demoncrap side knew what the other agencies and departments were doing because they have been coordinated for decades. The financial side was buttressed by the donkey Dem controlled Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as well as General Accountability Office (GAO). Sundance made up an issue and term that MAGA could grab and run with to attract attention and clicks. Anybody who has worked in federal government or lobbied them knows what I just stated is truth. The nonessential and essential staffers moved between departments and agencies as needs and administrations changed. When 90% of them are Demoncraps there are no needs for silos, just processes and secrets being kept out of the public domain. The latter has always been assured when future employment is at risk if you talk combined with the uniparty GOP’s indifference. You know this is true with many horrible incidents occurring In recent years such as staffer Seth Rich being murdered for not staying silent. He was just a speck on the tip of the iceberg.

What made it appear as silos operationally was the lack of coordination of operating platforms with each other. Again, this was a feature and not a bug. It was an intentional design to create massive opportunities for fraud and corruption. So, ask yourselves who benefitted? Yup – the uniparty and their globalist masters. They already had the real data fed to them directly through a shadow system we are not supposed to know existed.

Surprise! We knew. OSatan taking up residence in DC right after #45 taking office gave it away. We know how it worked because Cankles already did it at home with the kitchen closet computer.

There is now much more efficient processing of inter-agency information, auditable financial dealings and reporting of same, removal of corrupted staff and activities from the system, reductions in workforce, and so on. It is like the federal government now must think and act like a big, successful business would. Which is exactly what they are emulating.

The X post below is a recent example of the fruits of their work. Think about the impact. The media will never discuss because it is not headline grabbling or work to the favor of their pariah owners. Private business would think what has been done as just being normal operating practices. Yet, our federal government did not do these type things for over a century and there were obviously nefarious reasons for it being the way they were based on all of the fraud, waste and abuse that has already been found.

Multiply times hundreds, perhaps thousands of issues such as these throughout government. Another…

By the way, it is interesting that the DOGE.gov website – the bright shiny object – is no longer used. August 13 was the last post. They use X now. So what does that tell you about X? Oh yeah, who owns X? What does that tell you about Elon and #47? The crims have been played and it is glorious.

Keeping government operations disjointed and not “talking” to one another is what criminal communist mafias and deep staters do. It serves their purposes, not We the People. The over taxation, misery, deaths, and destruction are opportunities to gain wealth and power for them.

The same is occurring with the removal of illegals. They are being exited at an increasing pace as DOGE conducts research and interconnected the operating system with other applicable agencies. DOGE has been a very valuable resource in that. They identified aberrations and fraud. ICE, DHS, DOJ, Treasury, and gang handle the evictions and arrests. Look at how many have been removed from the rolls of SNAP in just the 29 states that complied with USDA’s data request. How many more are there in the rolls of the remaining 21 blue states that did not comply whose enrollees will not receive benefits until they do? My hunch is at least three times more. You know the overall total has to be at least 15% of funding was stolen, it is sort of a rule of thumb when the crims are involved.

Less existing illegal human bodies in the nation and no new ones coming in means less ability for Dems to cheat in elections. Which explains this public pronouncement.

https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/election-security-cisa-2026-secretaries-state-midterms-d10354

Forensic analysis has been expanding into the state systems with federal election safety providing the entry point. For cheating to work, human bodies need matched to residencies, social security numbers, citizenship, and census even if mailed in. EO’s and court actions will address to pass muster at the SCOTUS level along with existing cases before the courts. As the illegals disappear the criminals have to use existing citizens who never historically voted to replace. That complicates their efforts and leads to more exposure. One of the key cheat methods is before SCOTUS now. Mail-in voting is going to be addressed. Once it is, Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ and other patriots will take over addressing the result of the decision.

Redistricting in the states will be finished and the GOP will net more seats in the House as a result. The GOP’s job is to advance strong, electable MAGA candidates in every area where they can win and use the bulk of their funding for that purpose. No MAGA supported candidates floated means the ones that are have uniparty stamped on them. That means a strong ground effort needs to be underway to have the uniparty criminals fearful of the methods they use and how much they cheat. They may throw caution to the wind and go crazy – that is likely as it is their last stand – but with FIB and DOJ retooled with patriots it will cost many of their soldiers prison time and give the basis (STANDING) to overturn election results as applicable. Less are likely to step forward to do the dirty and be prosecuted.

Just an FYI – to have a good indication as to what is happening in every area of emphasis and what to expect, you have to look back to look forward. Always check out what actually happened after the fake media headlines and initial politician driven ruckus to understand the real status of an issue. You know the opposite of what is reported is usually true.

2026 is all lining up for the economy to be humming, employment numbers strong, and inflation low along with with key household item prices stabilized to down by early spring. People with 401-k’s, pensions, IRA’s and other stock related investments – about half of American citizens – are seeing their portfolios jump. Do not miss this regardless of your personal situations. The markets being at record highs leads to people becoming more positive and spending money. Since we have a consumer based economy, when they spend money more jobs are created and incomes increase for everybody while reducing the deficit due to collection of more related tax revenues. That means no needed tax rate increases at the state and local levels should be necessary or even desired in addition to the reduced federal taxes delivered by the BBB. Save some cash for investing if you possibly can. Even a small amount can grow to help your situation over time.

The midterms are the short term target. The primary question will become, again, are you better off today than you were under the Maggot as KK calls him? We know the answer already, we just need to make sure the independent and swing voters get to the polls as well. Add in parading of more of the charged and convicted high profile Dem criminals that has begun. This needs to be an earthquake election that swallows that criminal party whole. That is where every America First MAGA supporter comes in. Vote, work to get others to vote, and work in local districts.

Do Not Miss This

In the big picture, what PDT has been doing is redefining the role of the POTUS and executive branch through the courts and his EO’s back to what the Constitution and law provides. The legislative and judiciary branches have been weaponized against the GOP executive branch. Now when leftist lawfare judges rise against the rule of law, it provides an opportunity to reaffirm in the appeal process and at the SCOTUS level. That is why he probes and pushes the buttons on legal and Constitution issues constantly. There is no such thing as settled law in this country. The Constitution was written without many enforcement and punitive provisions that quite frankly were not anticipated to be needed. Rules, procedures and practices added through the years continued the potential for circumvention.

PDT and patriots are actually reestablishing the role and value of the judicial system and branch in the process as well. With a 90+% win rate on appeals, which has never been achieved by any other POTUS in American history, the rules to the game are being defined in many respects for the first time. There has been renewed attention on the SCOTUS members being Constitutionalists as compared to the leftist/uniparty criminals and hacks that led our country astray in the past.

In the next phase JD and Marco will continue the direction and build on it. They are integrally involved in the entire process. As an accomplished attorney, JD is well versed in Constitutional law in addition to his tech business and military background. Marco knows government inside and out. They both know the King of Kings. So, the rest of the GOP better get on with the program and stop hiding behind rules, procedures and practices.

Multi (regional) polarity of independent nations is the end game for these times. More on that later.

It is a revolution. The Golden Age awaits. Trust Trump.

Francis Lightfoot Lee

Born in 1734 in Westmoreland County, VA on the Stratford Hall tobacco plantation, Francis (Frank) Lightfoot Lee, was the fourth son of the eight children of Thomas and Hannah Ludwell Lee. The Lee family were of English descent and among the first families of the state. His middle name came from the name of his father’s best man in the wedding to Hannah. Young Francis was tutored at home by a Scottish minister for his education.

Lee’s great grandparents emigrated from England in 1639. They became wealthy from trading activities related to furs, tobacco and other goods in the colonies as well as England. They purchased large amounts of land as as a result. The older brothers of Francis participated in the family business and were educated in England as they traveled to and from there with each trading voyage. Francis was too young for the trips and remained home with his tutor, which was a disappointment to him at the time. It got worse, in 1750 both of his parents died while his older brothers were in England. The children inherited everything, which included land, money, slaves, and company stock for land speculation.

Francis inherited an estate in northern VA named Coton. It was located in Loudoun County, so his brothers began calling him Loudoun. He continued to live and study at the Stratford Hall library with his brother and fellow Declaration signer, Richard Henry Lee. They used the period to debate each other on various political and legal issues. By 1758 he had moved on to his Coton estate. He was soon elected to the General Assembly.

In 1766 he signed on the Westmoreland Resolutions that his brother, Richard Henry, drafted that challenged the King’s authority and the Stamp Act. At the time it was considered a seditious act, yet, later served as a basis for the Declaration of Independence. Three years later at the age of 35 he married the love of his life, 16 year old Rebecca (Becky) Tayloe of Mount Airy. The couple built a home in Richmond County where Francis was also elected to the House of Burgesses. It was in that public service role that he became close friends with two of the greats, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson.

Both Francis and Richard Henry joined the state’s Committee of Correspondence in 1773 and joined the state’s Convention a year later. In 1775 he became a member of the Second Continental Congress. He and Richard Henry traveled to Philadelphia and stayed with a sister and brother-in-law there through the build up to the Declaration. Richard Henry was called back to the Virginia Assembly in June before the vote. Francis wrote a letter to keep him informed and expressed concern that the Congressional members were fighting over matters less important than the need to declare independence and be about addressing their enemy.

He signed the Declaration on August 2 and Richard Henry arrived and signed on September 4. They are the only brothers to have signed. Francis participated in the creation of the Articles of Confederation as well and is only one of 16 who signed both documents. During 1777 he did all he could and was instrumental in securing vitally necessary supplies for the military during its darkest hours. He continued to serve in Congress for four years into 1779, before returning to Virginia. He served both in the Senate and House before retiring from public service in 1785.

Francis was known as a well-read man “of gentle reasoning and quiet persuasion” by his peers. While Richard Henry and brother, Arthur, were controversy prone, Francis was considered the opposite. Even Arthur called him “calmness and philosophy itself”. However, his political beliefs and commitments were every bit as radical as those of his brothers. John Adams described Lee as “a man of great reading, well understood, of sound judgment and inflexible perseverance in the cause of his country.”

From constitutionalcenter.org comes this statement:

“The 19th century writer, Mark Twain [Samuel Clemens] wrote of him: “He did no brilliant things, he made no brilliant speeches; but the enduring strength of his participation was manifest, his fearlessness in confronting perilous duties… was patent to all, the purity of his motives was unquestioned, his unpurchasable honor and uprightness were unchallenged.” Perhaps the epitaph offered by Lee’s niece Nancy Shippen put it best: “Thou sweetest of all the Lee race / That ever adorned our shore.”

After retirement into private life he was known for his happy demeanor and as a person who enjoyed helping others. Frank and Becky as they were known in the area, had no children. As a result when they both passed away in January 1797 they left their inheritance to the second son of Richard Henry Ludwell, as he had an interest in politics. Ludwell became an attorney and did successfully enter politics on the state level. The couple were buried in Mount Airy.

Francis Lightfoot Lee was an important, dedicated patriot who gave his full commitment to the cause of independence and his fellow citizens both in public and private life. We are forever grateful for his efforts.

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

Gold & Silver: My biased POV

So these 2 markets are very frothy right now…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wish the worst for the Seditious Six

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At some point, Trump will move on ass wipes running CO.  Colorado government needs a “legal” proctology exam.  As Steve may have said, with a 20GA rusty bore brush.

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

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

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

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

A local Colorado publication reported this week:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BREAKING – The DEA’s chief financial director under Obama, Paul Campo, who resigned in 2016 ahead of Trump’s administration, had his Virginia home raided and has been charged for agreeing to launder $12 million for the CJNG, a Mexican cartel, while acting in his role at the DEA.

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

Dear MAGA: 20251204 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Ready for a new box of chocolates? You never know what’s in them…… well, not really!

(1) More chess – including a weak opening and a mistake leading to checkmate.

(2) More firearms – namely the 30-06, multiple rounds, including armor-piercing, against plain old steel 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″ and 1″. It’s SPICY.

(3) – More physics magnets – specifically, an explanation of how they work. Bottom line – line up those electrons, buddy – whether it’s in the tiny, or in the big – because it’s a LAZY UNIVERSE and the universe wants to get all LOW ENERGY JEB on things!

(4) More chemistry and bad jokes – as a zany chemist facetiously documents all the laboratory errors he made, in an effort to turn a piece of plumbing pipe into the simple, cheap, metal salt that you can buy at the hardware store to kill roots in your sewer lines.

This is what real YouTube Science was, before AI and big money ruined everything!

(5) More YouTube ChiCom ClickBait FakeTech! How to turn an old microwave oven into clicks and cash (and not actually a laser-aimed, directed energy, flame-thrower).

I do wish Steve was here to critique, but just read the comments on YouTube.

Whatever you do, don’t do any of this stuff at home!

2025.12.02 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 32

I first need to do a mini-ground report before getting into the subject of the day. I did a ground report not long ago in a Daily Open that stated tourism was down about 6% around here year to date.

It has caught up and then some.

I would not advise coming here if you do not like to sit in traffic and stand in long, long lines at amusements and nature venues with equal delays in seating at restaurants. Holy Smokies the rampage is underway at a less likely time of year other than Black Friday shopping. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Force are under siege even with the weather turning colder than in years past. Dollywood’s Christmas Celebration with all of the lights and shows are packed like sardines.

For what it is worth, Dolly was reading comments or listening to me and others when I wrote that the cost of annual passes had gone way too high for folks in our region. A major note of appreciation to her and the team. Each year in the offseason periods when there is less overall attendance there are a few days for locals to be let in free, which have been greatly received and appreciated. Those visitors receive access again in the fall for like $5 a ticket if they bring their previously used ticket stub. At that point if they choose to go on and purchase annual passes that are good for the fall and the following year while they are there at the park, they receive a discount. Again, Holy Smokies what a great thing the team did. The annual passes were half off of the normal prices! They also have a military discount. The visitors were even able to pick up the large beverage mugs for free as a nice bonus. Now more of the local folks in the region can enjoy all Dollywood has to offer as well. Our grandkids were ecstatic.

This charitable act will bring more locals in and will give Dollywood a boost in securing employees as well. They are always hiring because they are always growing and expanding.

Through the years I have observed that as tourism goes in our area, so goes the overall economy of our nation and the moods of We the People. There is such a broad representation of people who come here from all over this and other countries that it gives a solid indication of general economic direction. Folks are feeling good about things and spending money. They are believing PDT and the patriots that things are getting better. With the illegal population being removed and crime down significantly in our area, the mood and activity is heading in a very good direction unless you are a local who can no longer get where you need to go in a reasonable period of time.

Time for the lead.

Some of you are going to groan and some are going to just go to the Signers below or even the comments when they find out the subject today.

😀

It is Convention of States discussion time again!

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/convention-states-effort-surges-support-trump

https://conventionofstates.com/news/breaking-trump-posts-article-about-convention-of-states

Will your opinion change or remain the same if POTUS Trump gets behind the effort? It is obviously in the minds of him and other patriots.

Would a rational discussion help? Do we need to claim negative things “could” or “would” happen to make things worse when even having a COS is constitutionally limited in its scope? Many of those things of concern by those opposed cannot even be legally addressed by a COS. Anything that “could” or “would” be approved would be subject to legal challenges all the way to SCOTUS.

The reverse “could” or “would” can also be true. Things “could” or “would” get better or the even law abused to our benefit. How are any of the potential positive or negative abuses any different than how things are now being delivered without having a COS? The effects of having a COS may reduce or eliminate those potential abuses within the scope of COS authority. That would be a very good thing.

Let ‘er rip in the comments if so motivated. Please respond in good faith and use facts to support your argument. As we know, people are informed by many of the posts on here. That is the patriot way to do things, the way our founders used. Most know how I feel. If PDT were to get involved it would just confirm it as the right thing to do in my opinion. His positions are really well thought out even with the few I disagree with him.

As an observation, there will need to be a lot of state legislature conversion and funerals (natural causes, of course) of obstructors before it is likely to happen. Old habits die hard. Perhaps it will be implemented by PDT as part of his overall MAGA plan at some point. Will see.

See, that wasn’t so bad was it? You got lucky. This time anyway.

Time to move down the coast to the Tar Heel State. These two were interesting to say the least. Please spend some time on them. They had “challenges” to deal with just like all of us.

William Hooper

Talk about somebody being “conflicted”, we have a classic in William Hooper.

Let’s start with a good thing. From a letter he wrote to a friend on April 26, 1774:

“The Colonies are striding fast to independence, and ere long will build an empire upon the ruins of Great Britain; will adopt its Constitution, purged of its impurities, and from an experience of its defects, will guard against those evils which have wasted its vigor.”

He may have been the first to correctly predict where the patriot movement was going. However, there is more that makes it all and him, well, weird.

Hooper was born in Boston in 1742 to Rev. William Hooper and wife, Mary Dennie Hooper. He was the oldest of their five children. His father was from Scotland and graduated from Edinburgh University as a Congregationalist pastor. He immigrated to the colonies in 1734. In 1740 he left his pastoral role and became an Episcopalian. He returned to London and was ordained by the Church of England. He returned to Boston in 1747 to be a Rector of Trinity Church where he served until his death in 1764.

That was the first sign that being conflicted about something important ran in the Hooper family. Either that or just being opportunistic.

Young William Hooper began his formal education at The Boston Latin School. He did so well that he entered Harvard as a second year student at age 16. He continued to do well academically and graduated with a BA degree and was expected to go into the clergy like his father. Instead he chose a law career. He began studies under James Otis in Boston who was considered a radical. He finished in 1764 and passed the bar. There were so many attorneys in Boston he decided to head to Wilmington, NC.

He opened his office and was successful with wealthy local land owners and fellow attorneys. His reputation grew and he began doing legal work for the colonial government. In 1767 he married Anne Clark, the daughter of a wealthy settler to the region who was the Sheriff. They had three children over the next few years that found him moving up the ranks as deputy AG for the county and later, deputy AG for the colony.

This is when the story of William Hooper turns strange. He was a loyalist in his employment and personal thoughts. As tensions rose in the region he acted to protect the interests of the Crown. One day during a riot, Hooper was drug through the streets by independence movement minded rebels, the Regulators, in Hillsborough. Afterwards he contacted the colonial governor and urged him to use whatever force was necessary to stop the rebels. He even joined British forces in the Battle of Alamance against them in 1771. A link to a short summary is below.

https://www.battlefields.org/learn/battles/alamance

So you may be wondering how in the world did this guy ended up being a patriot?

During that same 1771-1775 period he also served in the NC General Assembly. He could see the tide turning toward independence and discussed it with associates. He decided to ride the rising tide of independence. He was appointed to the colony’s Committee of Correspondence and later elected to the First Continental Congress. He served on numerous committees there and was elected to return to the Second Continental Congress. He missed the vote to approve the Declaration due to NC government needs, but had returned in time to sign it in August.

In reality, a number of historical accounts said he intended to abstain from voting so he left to avoid confrontation.

His views had not changed overnight or due to a specific event. They evolved slowly over time and remained conflicted as we shall see. He left Congress a year after signing due to financial pressures back home. That is when the crap hit the fan for Hooper and his family. Enraged at him, the Brits under Cornwallis found his two homes in the area and used one to house themselves and the other was burned down. This separated Hooper from his family. He was forced to accept shelter and food from patriot friends for over a year on the run as the Brits attempted to capture him. He contracted malaria during the period and the locals nursed him back to health. His wife was treated cruelly by British soldiers during the period and was in very ill health when she and the children escaped Wilmington and found shelter in Hillsborough with a brother. Finally as the war neared its end they were reunited and settled in Hillsborough as a family, with some of the same patriot families that drug him through the streets years before.

So, who were the real forgivers? Only to, once again, experience the following.

Hooper continued his work with the NC General Assembly into 1783 and restarted his legal career, but lost favor with the patriotic people in the area when he joined the Federalist Party. He continued to assist loyalists in his law firm, which Federalists were known to do. He was so kind in his dealings and treatment of them he was labeled a loyalist himself by the locals. When combined with the actions of his two wealthy brothers, Thomas of Wilmington and George of Charleston, who were doing merchant business with the Brits and considered Tories; it was hard not to see William as one of them. This was cause for great concern with locals despite all of his strong patriot work and signing the Declaration. Some of this work during the revolution involved spies and other clandestine operations for the independence movement in the Continental Congress in Philadelphia working alongside B and other founding fathers.

He was later trusted enough to be made a Federal judge to mediate a border dispute between New York and Massachusetts in 1786. He pushed ratification of the U. S. Constitution in NC over the next two years even as his health declined. He succumbed to illness in 1790 at age 48. He is buried in the Presbyterian Churchyard in Hillsborough. Anne passed away five years later and is buried near her husband. Their house in Hillsborough is registered as a National Historic Landmark.

As readers, do you see what I mean as it being a weird story? A loyalist at the start; a patriot during the movement, war and Constitution enactment; a loyalist at the end of his life; but still useful to American government. A loyalist who was treated as a traitor by the very people he was loyal to much of his life. Some of the patriots who drug him through the streets were who took care of him while on the run from the ones he was formerly loyal to and when he was sick. They are also the people he turned his back on that elected him by becoming a Federalist against their desires. He then went on bending over backwards to help local loyalists, which he continued to do until his death.

In my opinion viewing Hooper’s history presents a variety of contradictory views. He may have missed his calling to be in the clergy as a forgiver of many atrocities, but ineffective reconciler of other with many people. Or maybe he was spying on behalf of American government leaders who were still rooting out elements of British Tory influence. Another view would have him somewhat compromised post war, possibly related to the business dealings of his Tory supporting brothers. Another option could be that he was just a head case wacko. 😂 Perhaps readers can come up with some more views I missed. If I was compelled to guess at what caused most of his conflicted behavior I would go with:

Follow The Money.

I am not sure I can fully endorse Hooper’s unquestioned commitment to America because it appears he would have been happy to leave things as they were pre civil unrest and revolution. However, that may be too simple of a conclusion. The situation is just weird.

As a result I am going with he is a patriot signer of the Declaration of Independence who sacrificed much for his commitment to sign that document.

The next signer’s tale is one for the ages. He was never conflicted, he was one of us.

John Penn

Unlike his famous Pennsylvania namesake, John Penn of North Carolina came from more modest circumstances. He was born to Moses and Catherine Taylor Penn near Port Royal, VA in 1741.

I agree with several sources about John Penn of NC. It is a shame a handful of the 56 most important founding fathers who risked everything and became traitors to the mother country to lead colonists to independence; are treated as nothings or just blips on the screen of American history. It is disgraceful that many historians have done so with Penn. I believe patriots who were nearly lynched and gave all they had within themselves in their incredible service to America deserve a much more prominent place in our history.

I will do so here.

His related Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration site gives a compelling account that cannot be adequately summarized here. The link is posted below. It gives insights that are not normally given by other traditional historical sources. You may find that you agree with my assessment that he was a great person as well as patriot.

You owe it to yourself and to found father John Penn himself to read this account.

https://www.dsdi1776.com/signer/john-penn

He stood strong when the other representatives of NC were wavering in their support of approving the Declaration. He delivered governing and military leadership to NC during the war when other military and government leaders literally ran (rode) away as cowards and abandoned their duties. He endured great suffering and gave up his health with a positive attitude and American spirit that did not quit. At one time he was to duel an older political adversary and in the course of doing so showed compassion and respect. He came away with a friend instead of a tragedy. I have not read any story of a founder quite like that of John Penn.

Without reservation we salute and thank John Penn for his commitment to the patriot cause.

Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.

Bitcoin – No I’m not in it – advocate POV

This guy is a Hard Core Bitcoin Advocate

And no, I own no bitcoin. Full disclosure: In about 2010 I set up a bit coin miner on a R. Pi in a hotel room while working “on the road” as a computer “rent a guy with brains” aka “consultant”. It never found a single bigcoin and that likely colored my opinions. I personally find the idea of “digital assets” foreign. I prefer gold, silver, and platinum (natures limited assets 😉 and they have done well for me. BUT: I missed the entire Bitcoin ramp from about 25¢ per coin to now about $100,000 (modulo swings of 50%).

Do I regret it? Nope. There is no inherent value in Bitcoin or any other artificial scarcity “asset”. Like cards for “Magic the gathering” it is a social construct, not a real thing. I have a blindness to that. Just can’t get interested in things that are “social constructs” as I am obligatory Reality Centered. Yes, you can make a lot of money out of the idiocy of it; but I can’t and won’t. I see it as an entirely artificial construct from the start and “just can’t go there” due to the risk of people just changing their minds about it.

So no, I don’t “endorse” this guy. BUT he does give me insight into “them” and their behaviours.

He’s a hard core bit coin advocate and at about 18 minutes pushes a “digital wallet”. Whatever. His observations about Chase bank and Mr. Diamond are interesting and likely have some worth. To what extent is our world owned and manipulated by TLAs? Things to ponder.

>>>  Fortunately, Texas bought low. (Unless Bitcoin dive again.)

Bitcoin ETF?  Blackrock?  Everything about this stuff smells, to Slow Guy.

Texas Takes First Step Toward State Bitcoin Reserve with $5 Million ETF Purchase

Texas has invested $5 million in a bitcoin ETF as an initial move toward establishing the first state-based crypto reserve in the U.S.

CoinDesk reports that Texas has purchased $5 million worth of shares in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) exchange-traded fund (ETF). The investment, confirmed by a spokesman for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, serves as a placeholder as the state continues working toward directly holding bitcoin in its own reserve.

The purchase comes after Texas passed legislation earlier this year, appropriating $10 million to fund the creation of a state-managed bitcoin stockpile, known as the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. As part of the process, Texas recently concluded an information-gathering phase, soliciting input from the crypto industry on best practices for implementing and managing such a reserve.

While Texas is not the first state entity to invest government funds in a crypto-based ETF, with states like Michigan and Wisconsin having previously allocated pension fund money to similar investments, it marks a significant step toward a state directly holding and managing its own cryptocurrency reserve.

>>>  What Could Go Wrong?

Rainmaker seeks to refill depleted Great Salt Lake

“Rainmaker, a US startup, is attempting to use cloud seeding to increase snowfall in Utah, thereby replenishing the Great Salt Lake,” reports The Doomslayer.

The Great Salt Lake is severely depleted, about 500,000 acre feet below its threshold.

Snow Brains says that

Rainmaker is a company that increases snowpack by utilizing cloud seeding and operates over the course of the winter to increase snowfall by about 10-20%. This fall, Rainmaker will commence the largest American cloud seeding program in modern history. Its operations in the Bear River Basin, the largest watershed feeding the Great Salt Lake, will increase water supply and support drought resilience in Utah, Idaho, and other Western states….

In Utah, the state receives 95% of its water supply from snowpack during the winter, and cloud seeding can be a game-changer. Therefore, Rainmaker targets maximizing this snowpack, linking winter recreation to spring and summer water needs, with campaigns like “Save Our Snow” and “Snow to Stream Flow.” By increasing Utah’s snowpack, it not only brings more snow to the slopes at ski resorts in the winter, but it also provides more sustainable drinkable water in the summer for farmers, cities, and communities.

Parker Cardwell of Rainmaker says its “main focus is to increase snowpack, which is the same snow that we’re skiing on in the wintertime, and is the same water that you’re drinking in the springtime.”

Rainmaker uses drones and advanced radar in its system to increase snowfall.

Trump, After Call With China’s Xi, Told Tokyo to Lower the Volume on Taiwan

Japan, a U.S. ally that had angered China on Taiwan, found the message worrying

Chinese leader Xi Jinping was angry, and President Trump was listening.

Days after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi outraged China by suggesting a Chinese attack on Taiwan could mobilize a Tokyo military response, Xi spent half of an hourlong phone call with Trump, people briefed on the matter said, hammering home China’s historic claim to the democratic self-governing island as well as Washington and Beijing’s joint responsibility to manage the world order.

Later the same day, Trump set up a call with Takaichi and advised her not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan’s sovereignty, said Japanese officials and an American briefed on the call. The advice from Trump was subtle, and he didn’t pressure Takaichi to walk back her comments, those briefed on the calls said.

The Japanese officials said the message was worrying: The president didn’t want friction over Taiwan to endanger a detente reached last month with Xi, which includes a promise to buy more agricultural products from American farmers hit hard by the trade war.

Asked about the exchange with Takaichi, the White House issued a statement from Trump to The Wall Street Journal: “The United States relationship with China is very good, and that’s also very good for Japan, who is our dear and close ally. Getting along with China is a great thing for China and the U.S. In my opinion, President Xi will be substantially upping his purchase of soybean and other farm products, and anything good for our farmers is good for me.”

BIRD BRAINED SCHEME 

Putin’s scientists launch chilling squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants

The tech firm has already tampered with cow brains in a bid to boost milk yields, now it’s time for pigeons

VLADIMIR Putin’s scientists have launched a squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants.

A Kremlin-backed Moscow neurotechnology firm boasts its operators can steer flocks across the sky by zapping signals directly into their brain.

Russia’s sick “bird-biodrones” codenamed PJN-1 are ordinary pigeons surgically implanted with neural chips that allow technicians to direct their routes.

Field tests are being carried out using birds with electrodes inserted into their brains connected to tiny solar-powered backpacks containing onboard electronics, GPS tracking, and a receiver.

Russian tech firm Neiry chillingly claims “no training is required” and birds can be steered remotely in any direction.

Neiry claims the birds can fly 310 miles a day, or more than 1,850 miles in a week on spy missions but bigger birds may soon be weaponised.

Trump: South Africa to be excluded from 2026 G20 Summit

President Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will not receive an invitation to the 2026 G20 Summit, which is set for December in Miami, Florida, at his Trump National Doral resort.

Trump tied this to the U.S. boycott of the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, over human rights abuses against White Afrikaner farmers, including killings and land seizures. Additionally, he accused South Africa of refusing to hand over G20 presidency responsibilities to a U.S. Embassy representative.

“At my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year. South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere,” Trump wrote on Truth Social platform on Friday.

The 47th president noted that the United States did not attend the prior summit in South Africa “because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers.”

Russia Unable to Send Astronauts to Space for First Time Since 1961 

Damage to a Russian launch site has stopped Moscow from sending people into space for the first time in over six decades, it has been reported. 

Moscow’s space agency Roscosmos said that Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan had sustained damage during a launch on Thursday carrying Russian and American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).  

But Russian space bloggers said the damage to Russia’s only launch site for crewed missions was more serious than authorities were claiming. 

One expert, Vitaly Egorov, said if the damage is as suspected, Moscow will have lost the ability to launch people into space for the first time since it put the first human in orbit in 1961. Newsweek has contacted Roscosmos for comment.

Hong Kong apartment fire tests Beijing-backed rule as anger mounts

With elections looming, the fire undercuts the government’s insistence it can cater to people’s needs without giving them a greater say in who rules the city.

The fire that blazed through a cramped Hong Kong apartment complex and killed at least 128 people this week has become a major test for the city’s Beijing-backed leaders, who have tried to win back public trust after mass protests by promising better lives for everyday Hong Kongers.

Hong Kong authorities have said that the flames spread unusually quickly across the eight towers of government-subsidized housing. Dozens of WangFuk Court’s 4,600 residents were trapped inside the 31-story buildings as the inferno burned for 43 hours before being largely doused by 10:18 a.m. local time Friday.

FIRST ON 7: Nearly 400 gallons of fuel dumped into wrong home with no oil tank in Medford

MEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) – Hazmat crews were called to a home in Medford Monday after an oil delivery driver dumped 383 gallons of heating oil into a home that had a fill pipe but no oil tank, according to officials.

Officials said the Fawcett Oil delivery driver went to the right address, but in the wrong city. Instead of going to 48 Linwood Street in Malden, he went to 48 Linwood Street in Medford.

Fire officials said the driver attached the hose to the fillup pipe on the side of the house, but that pipe was not connected to any oil tanks — so 383 gallons of oil ended up in the home’s basement.

“Oil delivery driver pulled up to the wrong address,” said Medford Deputy Fire Chief Nick Davis. “Put 385 gallons of oil into a basement with no oil tank.”

Residents of the two family home quickly evacuated and the area was sealed off.

“It smelled very bad,” said Dang Nguyen, the homeowner. “Even, you know, I’m living in the second floor and I smell. I came home and came in to drop something off and it smelled very bad.”

Crews began cleanup using shovels and speedy dry. They first tried to contain then remove the oil with the Department of Environmental Protection on the scene.

Dear MAGA: 20251127 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Very nice that Thanksgiving will always be on Thank God Thursdays!

You know what I’m thankful for?

We are STILL HERE, and TRUMP IS PRESIDENT!

Sorry for the delay. Here’s a REALLY quick and dirty daily.

2025 – 11/27 – Wolf Moon – I am thankful for every post we had from Deplorable Patriot, and especially her Thanksgiving posts. God bless her, and her family and friends!

I also thank God for President Trump, Vice President Marine Corps Dude (apparently another VSG), and every White Hat who is working to restore integrity to our government. I am thankful to Q – whoever he is, and wherever he is – and to all the anons who helped Q help President Trump. I am thankful to Sundance and the Treepers who brought us here, and to the patriots at Tea Party Connection, including Dixie, who brought me to CTH.

It has been a long road, but it has been a good road.

God bless you all – each and every one of you. To you – and to all our fallen fellow Treepers and QTreepers – a special thank you, for sacrificing some of the best parts of your golden years to help President Trump Make America Great Again.

Thank you, and thank God for you!
