2025.07.08 Daily Thread: American Stories – Special Report: Rant Time

The Declaration signers will be back next week.

This one is comprehensive in content with a number of links. So it may be TL;dr for some. Be patient. I have made posts for a couple of years on here about this subject. This interview happened just this past week. Key people are now getting up to speed and taking steps to address within the Trump administration. Ignore the title in this O’Keefe interview of Marla Maples – this is about our air being chemically contaminated.

It has been followed by this,

If true…

Well, since they mention it…

https://theconversation.com/the-weather-experiment-that-really-flooded-dubai-227021

I want to personally thank PAVACA for taking this (among other subjects) on. I appreciate authors and posters bringing other controversial subjects for discussion. None of us are required to agree with the analysis or thoughts about the subject matter, just consider and post your thoughts on subjects of interest. That is how we inform and learn from each other. With that said, I am expanding the discussion on chemtrails.

It agitates my spirit to see critical dangers to our population blown off by otherwise caring and intelligent people.

My FIRE! series was an attempt to draw attention to the systematic use of wildfires and other calamitous events to clear areas for corporate and governmental interests. The properties are ravaged, their subsequent distressed sales to well heeled piranha are virtually guaranteed, and the Build Back Better mission is fulfilled at the expense of the oppressed. Think it through; this has been played out with wildfires alone in America for a couple of centuries.

However, not every geographic area is subject to wildfires. Which leads to the primary subject of today’s rant that ties into chemtrails – hurricanes.

Situation

Why do we know that nuclear war would be bad despite some criminally minded idgits suggesting that nukes could be tactically used without fear? Well, we may have seen videos and photos or read accounts of a very small example of what primitive atomic bombs could do 80 years ago in Japan. The results were horrible. It caused a radical nation of fierce warriors to become quite subdued and averse to international conflicts in the decades that followed. They decided they best surrender and over time become buddies with the folks that dropped them.

So what do we think advanced nuclear weapon technology could do to life on this planet today within seconds of being unleashed? Sort of a no brainer, right? That’s why POTUS Trump and the patriots did what they did to Iran’s nuclear sites. Add in the feat of dropping 15 ton, ground penetrating bombs on a 3′ by 3′ target from high altitude and speed without being detected in a journey from half the world away indicates there must be serious intelligence, planning, technology, and scientific understanding in play.

There (is) may also be similar serious brain power in use that might even know how to seed and enhance a storm. In fact, it (is) may be child’s play to them with the use of some of the world’s most effective computing power over the past 30 years that just so happens to be located in federally staffed and controlled national laboratories and defense installations.

Even so, knowing that technology exists to wipe out all life forms on the planet in short order, many still do not want to believe that atmospheric seeding (weather engineering) was successfully used 65+ years ago by our government. In addition, geoengineering (climate and environment – the latter includes in-ground activities) have been introduced in recent decades here and abroad. If these flat earther type negas did believe they might even conclude more advanced technology and methodologies with chemicals and other contaminants are in development and potentially in use.

Major Paradigm Shift

So while I am ranting and with the subject being related primarily to PAVACA’s article, the evil doers messed up big time with Hurricane Helene. They have lost what support they still had in the southeast from the hillbillies and rednecks. That is a very good thing for America. There were a good number who were raised in the pull the donkey tail family legacy belief system.

Boomerang.

My qualifications for making that statement and other statements you will read stem somewhat from the following personal observations on the ground over the past half century.

I worked relief efforts after Katrina on the gulf coast twenty years ago as some know from my BIMD series. I know how far inland the damages were felt along the MS to LA coast with only an occasional levee to stop its roll on the flat land and swamps. We did not see anything like what we saw at far greater distances inland with Helene. Friends of our family’s in law enforcement live in Thibodaux, about 50 miles from the LA coastline and the storm’s landfall. We know what we know.

Close family members lived through Andrew in Miami-Dade County, FL, so we saw the damage post storm on the beach and flat land in 1992. One of those family members was a general residential and HVAC contractor who owned a dozen rental properties. Also in those days one of my business customers was a general contractor who built and maintained facilities on Homestead Air Force Base; the Base that was nearly a total loss after Andrew hit as a Category 5 with nearly 170 MPH winds. I am well aware of the storm’s impact on it and the surrounding area.

We vacationed in the lowcountry area south of Charleston, SC post-Hugo in 1989. The area we were in had received only a glancing blow of high winds, light flooding and minimal surge as the storm followed the Atlantic gulf stream up the coast to the Charleston area 60 straight line miles away. Family members owned rental properties within an hour’s drive north of its landfall that experienced severe damages. Hugo had developed into a Category 5 in the Caribbean, moving up the coast line along the Atlantic gulf stream before suddenly veering due west into the SC coast around Charleston (Sullivan’s Island) as a Category 3. Despite a storm surge of 10-20′ the effects on many areas of the lowlands from flooding was less than expected as only one area had as much as 8″ of rainfall with most all other areas under 3″. However, significant damage to timber that would be harvested for the construction industry was felt as far as 100 miles inland from SC up into NC.

Even as a teenager my family and I rode out the outer bands of Camille in 1969 in a beach motel while on vacation at the Gulf in Pensacola. A week later we went on to visit New Orleans in its aftermath to see the effects on it and the surrounding flat land and swamps, which was primarily impacted by flooding. We had to drive inland somewhat around the primary affected coastline areas. It made landfall in the same general MS coast area as Katrina.

In fact, in recorded American history per the NOAA and other government sources there are no hurricanes that had the geographic scope and done anywhere near the level of damage that far inland than Helene did; much less that occurred into and on top of a mountain range. Over $200 Billion and counting in hurricane caused damages says something nefarious probably happened even if one adjusts for the current value of money versus past periods.

Some twenty years later and using today’s dollars, Katrina’s financial cost is in the $180 Billion range per the NHC. Helene is already calculated in excess of $200 Billion within the first year which is anticipated to climb to over $300 Billion. It is where the primary damages occurred that reveal the dubious nature of it all. Katrina made its initial landfall near New Orleans before bouncing toward the MS coast. It caused massive property damages as well as deaths due to flooding in the urban area of New Orleans, which is the area where much of the costs arise. In contrast, Helene made landfall in the sparsely populated and developed Big Bend of FL. The major costs associated with Helene’s damages were accumulated over 300 miles away from landfall.

Some might say Katrina might also have been seeded in the Gulf since the tech existed back then. The effects of that storm served a big political purpose for the ushering in of the O’Satan era. Or have you forgotten how the fake news used the FEMA incompetency to beat the drums against W and the GOP?

The anticipated final cost of Helene makes our nation’s past financial commitment to Ukraine’s destruction look like chump change.

Messing With Mother Nature

It is highly probable that the skies have been chemically treated for various purposes for many years. There are many relevant articles available to consider such as the following,

https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2023/390_1107.html

https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1150/rr-1

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/13/what-is-solar-geoengineering-sunlight-reflection-risks-and-benefits.html

For those who are unaware, I use the website linked below to follow storms during hurricane season. I really do not need Jim Cantore show time weather actors telling me what to expect. The NOAA’s NHC site is also used by nearly all of the weather forecasters to “predict” the related storms. It has a wealth of historical information as well.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov

I watched Helene with interest at that time since it might affect our annual Fall Frolic to HHI that was scheduled for two weeks later in October. It was a trip we went ahead and took post storm (2 weeks later), driving through much of the affected areas on two different routes going and returning home. I posted on here in openers about the pain in the azz travel that took us through Georgia from the TN border down to Macon and on to Savannah. That was the quickest and safest alternative route since Helene’s floods had wiped out a 12 mile section of I-40 in the gorge at the TN/NC border in addition to many bridges on routes around the gorge in the areas between Knoxville and Asheville.

The wind and tornadoes had uprooted trees and sheered timber for over 100 miles of travel on I-16 from Macon east to Savannah. The fields were full of downed trees and debris. Those that fell on the road had been cleared for travelers, however, they lined the road in stacks the entire way. We had similar observations in areas from the Spartanburg, SC area all the way to Erwin, TN on I-26, which had fortunately reopened to two lanes at the affected bridge areas in Unicoi County, TN. Asheville was an absolute mess, but passable by that time about 5 weeks after the storm. We did not tour east of Asheville, which was extremely hard hit with floods and landslides. Smaller communities were literally washed away. It has been the slowest area for rebuilding due to the magnitude of the destruction and terrain per on-going reporting post storm.

Helene was an Atlantic disturbance that showed little signs of becoming what it did while meandering around in the southern Gulf for days until it suddenly became a high Category 4 that was greater in size than 90% of the past hurricanes to hit America in recorded history per the NHC. It remained an abnormally strong tropical storm long after it passed over land at Perry in the Big Bend and crossed through the middle of GA with the eye still easily discernible as far away as Macon, GA, some 195 straight line miles inland. It then continued across GA into SC and the mountains in SC from east to west, then north into NC and TN.

It spawned dozens of tornadoes along with high straight line wind speeds that destroyed property and untold numbers of trees in its path along with horrific flooding rains that ranged from 15 – 30 inches in many areas. This caused Asheville, NC city streets, highways and bridges to buckle and float down river as it also did in other mountain area communities. The continuous avalanche of water went into TVA dammed lakes, which breached into tributaries, which in turn breached levees and flood control waterways, which then flooded towns anywhere near its path.

Lake Lure in western NC is still having debris removed with water levels kept low. The clean up continues in all of TVA managed lakes and rivers.

None of what I described above is remotely “normal” for even the strongest hurricanes.

Consider that the Asheville, NC MSA population exceeds 400,000 people in a four county area and that it sits at over 2100 feet above sea level. It was well developed with good infrastructure to support its population and the tourism industry. In addition to its elevation we also know that Asheville is about 300 straight line miles from Perry, FL. I have not reviewed every hurricane reported on the NHC site, however, it seems obvious and I would bet that there are none that caused even a fraction of the physical damage in mountains that far away from landfall. Just sayin…

If you are serious about wanting to know what that city faced just in providing water to residents, read the link below.

Currently, they are still testing the water system daily.

So how safe do you think drinking well water has been for residents in the affected areas? How about residents down stream into east TN? How safe is the agriculture of soybeans, corn, tomatoes and tobacco that are cash crops for farmers in the areas that were most affected in east TN? It was a $1.3 billion hit to just those farms according to the Department of Agriculture. The DOA has just commissioned research on food safety and land viability for farming in that area. As one of the researchers stated in a TV interview, “There are now rivers where there were none prior to Helene.”

https://www.williamsonherald.com/features/agriculture/usda-awards-grant-to-study-hurricane-helene-flood-impacts-on-croplands/article_431d6dba-07a3-4d07-81fe-a82b9c7d736a.html

There have been ample articles, photos, and videos issued chronicling the massive destruction in NC, Unicoi County in east TN, and other areas that are still available on the web. There are some more photos within the NHC link of the Helene report below.

It all seems too ridiculous to even consider that the storm was not intentionally enhanced. My personal Bullshit Meter goes off when anybody suggests there is nothing to seeding the atmosphere with chemicals; especially when I read comments like the following that is found in the NHC report on Helene on page 28.

“…Helene marked the first time NHC had forecast a disturbance to become a major hurricane before the system became a tropical cyclone.”

😡

So why was this the “the first time”? Reports have been published since 1958 per the archives. That seems like it was pretty intentional decision if it was the first time they had done it in 66 years.

What happened with Helene is not how hurricanes generally work. Again, the next largest catastrophic hurricane in American history in terms of overall wide affect on land mass was Katrina, which might have been enhanced as well. Flatland population centers were minimal to moderately affected 75-100 straight line miles away. Worked there, saw it. Yet, with Helene a well built metropolitan area 2100′ above sea level 300 miles from storm landfall experienced disastrous effects. Traveled there, saw it.

Below is the archived comprehensive report of the NOAA’s weather scientists and researchers on Helene. You can read archived reports going back decades on hurricanes. They periodically update and revise reports as new information is learned.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL092024_Helene.pdf

I am still trying to mentally digest all of the information in this report. Please pay special attention to wind speeds, rainfall stats and graphs, reconnaissance missions, storm surge, discussions on floods and landslides on the east side of the mountains, and the additional photos.

Current Legislative Situation

The situation in Tennessee as well as in Florida recently, with potentially more states in the future, is that we no longer have chemtrails since legislation was signed into law almost a year ago. Clear skies and naturally occurring clouds now dominate. I have verified that with friends in both the Nashville and Memphis areas as well our east TN area. Will see how it goes in Florida as well as when other states join in with the the clear skies crowd.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/05/07/ron-desantis-slams-the-door-on-geoengineering-and-weather-modification-in-florida

That chem trails can be removed from skies at all should reveal something to the less informed.

Another consideration along the depop lines is that there are statistical truths being exposed post storm despite fake news media attention waning. In Helene’s case how could there not be an uptick in the storm’s influence relating to medical conditions of those who live and work in the affected areas; especially when relief workers and related construction workers as well as the general population have experienced significantly greater numbers of health problems due to excessive mold, fungal, and chemically induced infections that cause diseases? See links below.

https://www.clinicaladvisor.com/features/health-risks-rising-in-mountain-areas-flooded-by-hurricane-helene

https://www.deseret.com/lifestyle/2024/10/11/hurricane-milton-helene-health-risks-mold-mental-deaths

https://www.ncdhhs.gov/communicable-disease-and-other-health-concerns-following-hurricane-helene/download?attachment

Could it be that the states of TN and FL have enough sense in their government leaderships to see and care about what has been happening; then have the fortitude to do something about it for their citizens? Since my state started the ball rolling I guess us hillbillies and rednecks may be a bit smarter than the stereotypes suggest. Recent reports on other states jumping on the bandwagon are below,

https://citizenwatchreport.com/8-states-banning-chemtrails

https://www.newsweek.com/chemtrails-legislation-us-map-2079810

The hillbillies and rednecks within this 5-6 state region who had not yet accepted that elements within the federal and state governments along with their globalist cabal controlled leadership were willing to indiscriminately kill them, their families, and their neighbors – are no longer all that trusting. In fact, most hate the government now. It runs deep like the effects of the Civil War here in the southeast.

Who they do trust more now are people like the Amish, veterans, and regional relief groups of area residents who have selflessly given of themselves and their resources to help the affected since it happened. They also trust PDT, cabinet and America First MAGA supporters more. All of the groups are still there, nine months later, aiding the affected people quietly and without fanfare.

People have noticed that PDT controlled federal agencies have quietly kicked into high gear on infrastructure projects that have accelerated the rebuild. Thankfully, HUD grants for rebuilding have been forthcoming since the election. But the patriot federal government’s physical resources have been stretched thin by the vermin’s attack on America nationwide.

This situation is just one more reason why the Big Beautiful Bill needed passed. The entire psyche of America changes with the inking of that bill. Politicians that voted against it are traitors to We the People in my book. I will never forget them and teach my grandchildren that as well. If anybody wants perfection in government they will need to wait until/if they go to Heaven. The bill helps We the People overcome the evils within.

Economic considerations are very pertinent to this rant. Anytime the enemy can spawn widespread fear porn panic and physical destruction a portion of our nation’s revenue stream goes toward its elimination and repair, which weakens the overall economy. State and local governments also lose revenues necessary to provide services citizens demand. The enemy seeks to find and probe as many weaknesses as possible in their attempt to take control of our people, money, and land. That is the motive for doing the dirty. Geoengineering is one their tools to getting that done.

POTUS Trump, cabinet, most GOP elected officials, and all of MAGA are about America and Americans First. They know we cannot be a rising tide to lift other boats if we are being drained. Hence, the Big Beautiful Bill is now the law of the land. The authority and manpower commitment to enforce the laws and fair play has been solidified.

Now To The Helene Conspiracy

I dunno, but the recon flights thingy with Helene sure appears sketchy. Some examples of NOAA/NHC reports on it and other storms are in order.

Linked below is Hurricane Beryl’s report with recon mission flights and other information, data, and graphs. It hit a few months earlier than Helene and was a Category 5 that glanced off the same Mehico’s Yucatan and going into Texas. Page 6 comment:

There is substantial uncertainty about Beryl’s intensity at landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The last Hurricane Hunter mission before this landfall showed that the storm was
quickly weakening
, with the central pressure rising from near 962 mb to near 971 mb between 0000-0600 UTC 5 July, along with decreasing flight-level and surface winds.

Now look at the recon flight data graph on page 62. So Beryl and other storms of equal and greater intensity in the same area can hit land mass and weaken, but not Helene? Don’t attempt to use different weather and climate factors as the excuse. It doesn’t wash based on history in the archived storm reports. There is a pattern with developing tropical disturbances and cyclones that does not vary all that much during hurricane season, especially when they hit land masses.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL022024_Beryl.pdf

Now look again at Helene’s recon data graph also on page 62 of that report.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL092024_Helene.pdf

Add in any unreported flights by federal and military operations with any of these storms going back to the 1960’s.

Something ain’t right here. They recon the southern Caribbean and Yucatan area to death from every angle while meandering around far away from its eventual “destination” and before it even becomes a named tropical cyclone While a few months before with Beryl they conducted orderly recon on a storm with a normal path that had already been deemed a cyclone followed by hurricane status well before it entered the gulf.

There is the question to consider of whether the planning and experimentation could have been stepped up the year before Helene in 2023 with Hurricane Idalia. That storm started developing in a similar area of the Caribbean south of Cuba and moved west toward the Yucatan before shifting north and becoming a Category 4. As it neared the same Big Bend region of FL it declined to a Category 3 with a storm surge of as high as 12′ and produced 4-10″ of rainfall into south and central GA on an initial similar path as Helene. They had added recon mission flight data graphs beginning in 2023 and Idalia’s is found on page 33.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL102023_Idalia.pdf

The path of Idalia remained normal for gulf storms in that region and it progressed northeast toward the Atlantic coastline. The same was true for Milton that formed in the gulf near Mehico after Helene in 2024. It progressed into a Category 4 and made landfall in the Tampa area before quickly moving across the state and out to the Atlantic without turning more northward until it hit the Atlantic gulf stream.

So far I have not found any other hurricanes that made landfall in the FL gulf or Atlantic east coast that turned more north and west over any mountainous terrain, much less with 2.5 feet of rainfall in those mountainous places as Helene did. That Helene followed the path it did and remained a tropical storm over 400 straight line miles inland over the Great Smoky Mountains into east TN to the Kentucky border should at least inspire a healthy curiosity.

Conclusion

It appears to me that something really bad and probably quite intentional happened with Helene. The bread crumbs keep leading in that direction. The timing and storm path weres just too conveniently good for the Dems/RINO’s in particular. The Dems’ Build Back Better initiative, corrupt personal investing practices, federal elections timing and so on suggest the possible existence of foul play. As an example, maybe you missed this pre-election link below.

There will be at least a decade of repercussions relating to infrastructure, property ownership, water supply, and medical challenges of residents. Property insurance premiums have increased dramatically. Proposed property tax increases are on the ballots and pushed by local governments in the area to make up for lost revenues. Businesses and jobs were lost. Recreational areas have been savaged. People lost ownership of homes, land, timber, and farmland. Activities relating to government acquisitions of property, sometimes through imminent domain, along with globalists acquiring mineral rights have all increased significantly per reports in the area.

Oh, that’s right – screw We the People, MAGA, and Trump. Build Back Better. Important minerals including rare earths and potential tourism venues are there. Duh.

This rant has ended, but the story will continue. This isn’t over. There will be a sequel down the road as observations and evidence lead the story. For example we have a horrific Texas storm and flood to cover. However, there are now informed, powerful people who are beginning to wake up.

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.

Hope all of you had a happy Independence Day. Our elected officials who put We the People first for a change deserve a special note of appreciation. Let them know when you get time.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Dear KMAG: 20250707 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

Dear MAGA: 20250703 ✾ 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!

Grab your popcorn, my fellow “anti-intellectuals”!

A special treat for us “science deplorables” who are arriving as barbarians at the gate, questioning the leftist sacrament of peer review!

Watching scientific peer review being demoted from censorious gatekeepers, back to “free speech” standards for both authors and critics, is truly enjoyable here.

(Just watch from 11:00 to around 20:00 if you want the part about peer review. If you want the full brutal fight in evolution, that is 2 1/2 hours long, beginning to end!)

But wait! There’s more! Evolution is having a food fight!

Likewise, many of us hillbillies who have always thought “hey, that prehistoric ape can’t be fully human” will enjoy watching this fight within evolution, in which a bunch of us evolutionists cry out either “hey, that dubious ape-like member of genus Homo likely didn’t practice burial and art” or “hey, let this guy prove his case” or even “hey, I need more popcorn!”

Seriously, I’m not sure which side I’m on with these papers – probably all three! But notice how evolutionists are now free to have a public dispute over edgy (and possibly wrong) science. “Decorum” is no longer the top priority, and “unity in the face of critics” is no longer the “stop vaccine hesitancy at all costs” of paleoanthropology.

I’m impressed. Trump is fixing things even more than I thought! And I’m giving Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. some credit, too!

Ah, yes. The clutching of pearls by all involved in academia is most satisfying!


In other news….. there is a LOT of WINNING.

Have a wonderful 4th of July, people! Patriots ARE in control, and this is exactly what we prayed for – AND voted for!

Yes, our prayers were answered, and I ask all of you this 4th of July to be thankful for what has transpired.

If you are a believer like me, I ask that you earnestly give thanks to God for our deliverance from leftist insanity.

We are undeserving, we must try to be more deserving. Reach out with the Good News – let people know why you are thankful! Let this Fourth also be another Thanksgiving – for the blessings we have received – and for the patriots who helped this winning happen!

God bless you all!

God bless President Trump!

God bless the Patriots!

God bless America!

2025.07.01 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of Human Events – Part 19

From deceptive acts used in the the sausage making of legislation in our current days to the deception by an author with the use of pen names, this thread is also about one very prominent founding father. It is safe to say that without his dedicated efforts in a foreign land during the Revolutionary War we may not have a reason to celebrate our nation’s independence today.

As previously discussed the Federalists and Anti-Federalists used the media of that day to publish their views in an attempt to sway public opinion their individual direction. So it was with this incredible founder many decades before the patriot movement in the colonies, except he did not always have political motives with his written words.

Sometimes his tranny alter ego took over.

😂

Benjamin Franklin

Now you may ask, Trade, why would you disparage such an important American patriot? Brilliant Benjamin, or as he signed his name – B. Franklin, or “B” from this point on – was the master of using pseudonyms for his authorship. As a result he would sometimes choose fictitious ladies to write letters to newspapers by names such as Polly Baker and Silence Dogood. It was a way to get around the heavy censorship of the period, especially relating to subjects that were generally not accepted by society and political leaders.

Censorship in media inspired by government forces? Say it ain’t so! Yup, going back 300 years or so between these shores it was done in similar ways using whatever methodology they had available at the time. A reminder of Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NASB) is appropriate. “What has been, it is what will be, And what has been done, it is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

In one of B’s letter stories it seems Polly was an unwed mother with several illegitimate children who would opine about separation of church and state matters. She believed that having children born out of wedlock was not sinful. She saw herself before a fictive court making a defense without benefit of a lawyer whom she could not afford anyway. She believed that she deserved a statute in her honor instead of the whipping that authorities wanted to administer. She was basically pointing out the double standard of society’s treatment of men and women. The satire used is really humorous.

Silence was the first of B’s cast of characters. She was a middle aged country widow of a minister who once went after society not providing the same opportunity for education for the poor that the wealthy had. She loved men and the clergy while having a particular penchant for reproving others satirically. B snuck letters from “her” into his older brother’s newspaper without his knowledge. 😂

Even the names he used for his women authors were funny. Besides Polly and Silence, there were Caelia Shortface, Martha Careful, Alice Addertongue and Busy Body all contributing. The latter penned gossip and a lot of hilarious looks at relationships between men and women.

His cast of names of men authors were noteworthy as well. Of course, most folks know that B used the name of Richard Saunders to produce Poor Richard’s Almanack as a young man. This publication continued for 26 editions and averaged around 10,000 copies issued per year. There also was the funny married life portrayals of Anthony Afterwit. Later in life in England he wrote under the pen name of Benevolus to dispel rumors about colonists that were being printed in the British press.

Needless to say B had an amazingly observant, creative, and intelligent mind. We should all be thankful he was a patriot because there was a long period of time before the war when he was a British loyalist. Some of those who did not care for him for a variety of reasons even accused him of being a British spy. However, as the oppressive Brits began to tighten down on the colonies, he flipped to being a full throated patriot. From his works we also see a founding father who was way ahead of his time when it came to seeking gender equality, access to education for all, scientific endeavors, and seeking fair dealings in all endeavors.

Biography

There is not enough time to detail B’s biography here. This extraordinary man left an incredible legacy in so many areas of life. I will not attempt to summarize, it would not do him justice. I have provided a shortened version of his bio in the first link below. The second link goes into a bit more information that hits the higher points of his life. I have followed that with a very good, more detailed version for those who want to know more in the format of an autobiography in the man’s own words that he chronicles to the year 1757.

His Interactions

Now that you probably know more about the man than you probably ever desired to know, we can focus on some of his more notable interactions and relationships during the founding years of our nation.

Will start with a political cartoon he published in his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, in May 1754.

He basically told the colonies to work together to become unified or die. The image was widely used leading up to the war.

He was a devoted freemason throughout his life. He joined in Philadelphia in 1730. It nearly cost his freedom and did damage his reputation for a time due to a stupid hazing incident that cost a man his life. B was dragged into the resulting negativity. Below is a published accusation, B’s response, and a witness statement. He testified in the criminal trial on behalf of the prosecution.

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Franklin/01-02-02-0036

There is some nasty freemason shiz in that accusation that led to a conviction of manslaughter for the offender.

He aligned more with Thomas Jefferson in his political, governmental, and societal views. Similar to Jefferson, he embraced the Age of Enlightenment in Europe and in particular in France. This philosophy led several leaders who formerly claimed to be Christians to becoming Deists. In Jefferson’s case it appeared he did not stay in the Deist camp later in life. The two shared much in common in their beliefs about humanity and governing. The link below describes the relationship and their times well. It is from the Jefferson Monticello organization.

https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/benjamin-franklin

B left for France as a traitor to Great Britain at age 70, just months after signing the Declaration of Independence. It is safe to say that the colonies would have never won the Revolutionary War and independence without France becoming fully immersed in the struggle and strongly supporting the efforts of the colonies. Which shows everybody how things can change over time on the world stage. Big bad France of those days is a mess today.

B was very famous and a celebrity in France the entire nine years he lived there. He was known throughout Europe to have discovered electricity and for his inventions such as the flexible tubed urinary catheter. His manner fit in well with leaders and aristocracy in the nation. As we now know he also designed the first known pair of bifocals upon his return to the states.

He was never in a hurry, he took time to visit and understand the people and their motives. He took every meeting that was requested of him while in France. As it applied to meeting the war time needs of the colonies he was very good at bluffing and blowing smoke up the rears of French leaders when it came to the military prowess of the colonist military. He was patient when it came to securing the needed assets to help the colonial war efforts, which drove many of his contemporaries back in America crazy. He did not push hard for assistance until he had something to sell, which turned out to be the colonist victory at the Battle of Saratoga and subsequent capture of Gen. Burgoyne and his men. Ironically, Benedict Arnold led the colonial forces that accomplished it. That victory was all that was needed for France to sign treaties of alliance and jump in. More good information is in the article below.

https://www.history.com/articles/benjamin-franklin-france

As discussed in the linked article and in my previous post, John Adams and B were not best buddies. B’s deliberate manner and celebrity status drove John Adams crazy. However, they tolerated each other to accomplish important work for America. After a time, Adams was sent to Great Britain as the war ended as previously noted in the post about him. He was much happier and more effective there as he fit in with the British royals and aristocrats with his background and manner. This was the opposite of B’s previous experiences in Britain. The British royalty and aristocracy never really accepted him despite his attempts to fit in. They respected his accomplishments, but having been a commoner with little standing in society and formal education, B was considered beneath them.

B. Franklin’s Family and Death

This is a good place to end this Part. B’s marriage and children reflected an absent husband and father who was not all that into family life. It just goes to show that famous legends in history sometimes lead just as wanky of personal lives as many of the rest of us. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the grunge.com link below due to their spotty track record, although this article appears accurate compared to other historical accounts. They do reference Smithsonian documentation among other reputable sources in several spots. I have also linked the applicable Smithsonian one that applies to the following theory of the primary cause of the couple’s estrangement. If it is accurate, it sheds light on a brilliant, often times conflicted man who had a penchant for walking on the dark side at times in his life.

If the theory holds, B could never reconcile to wife Deborah’s refusal to inoculate for small pox their four year old son, Francis, from which he later contracted the disease and died. Long periods of time and distance apart did not make B’s heart grow fonder for Deborah and their daughter, Sarah, which made reconciliation less likely to occur. In fact, during Deborah’s latter years alive while B was in Great Britain he would send letters to her delaying his return even though he was well aware she was gravely ill. He waited to return until she passed away in 1774.

Cold, not only to her and Sarah, but also to older son, William, who was reported to be B’s from an extra-marital affair. William was well provided for and raised by the couple into adulthood. He was very close to his father for a time and considered Deborah his mother. There is speculation that Deborah actually was his mother, that William’s birth was from a period when she was estranged from her first husband. The couple were very secretive about William’s origins such that even his birth year was questioned. William went on to a distinguished career as an attorney, politician and soldier. However, he remained a British loyalist and became a nemesis to B and the founding fathers in his twenties. So much so that he was imprisoned at the start of the war for two years. He was released and immediately began organizing loyalists to fight the colonists. A few years later he was exiled to London and never returned.

Needless to say B harbored bitter resentment against Deborah, which may or may not have been founded on truth over a subject of vaccinations that is still a divisive issue centuries later.

The following is a summary description of B’s funeral.

Please note what this (restored as of 2016/2017) plaque near his grave states.

As it states, he wrote it earlier in life with no intention of it actually being used. Will leave you with one of B’s better American Patriot quotes of the ages to live by.

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

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.

Have a happy Independence Day, folks. We have so much to be thankful for as we head into The Golden Age of America. Be blessed and go make something good happen!

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.

2025.06.24 Daily Thread – American Stores: When in the Course of human events – Part 18

After the miscue and recall of this post a few weeks ago, it is now time to return to the mission. Today we will spend all of our time on one of the key Declaration signers and founding fathers in our nation’s history, John Adams.

John Adams

Much time has already been spent in this series on the person, importance, events, and interactions of the great American Patriot, John Adams. There are loads of historical articles and biographies that readers can source to learn more. I will only hit on a handful of the major points of his biographical information. Instead, I will focus some of the information on his interactions, observations he made, and quotes of interest.

Adams was born in 1735 in Braintree, MA to John, Sr. and Susanna Boylston and two brothers. John, Sr. came from a long line of Adams that immigrated to America in 1638 from England. His father was a deacon in the Congregationalist Church and was a farmer, cordwainer (shoemaker) and officer in the militia. Susanna was from an area family that were leaders in the medical field. John had a good relationship with his family and great respect for his father.

He was first educated in a “dame” school, which were private schools for children aged 2-5. He then went to a local Latin school that focused on the language, logic, rhetoric and math. John ran into truancy problems with a dislike for his teacher partially because he preferred to farm with his father, but his he made him stay in school. At age sixteen he entered Harvard College, graduating at age twenty. During the period he developed a fire for studying the works of ancient writers in their languages. He became a teacher for four years as he personally debated his future profession. His father desired he enter the clergy, however, over time he felt the honor and respect earned in the practice of the law to be his calling. From Wiki there is this interesting quote from that time period, “He decided to become a lawyer, writing his father that he found among lawyers “noble and gallant achievements” but, among the clergy, the “pretended sanctity of some absolute dunces”. He had reservations about his self-described “trumpery” and failure to share the “happiness of [his] fellow men”. He even felt guilty at age nineteen when the French and Indian War began that he was not a soldier in the militia like his family members had been as he found it to be more fitting to him than even being a lawyer.

He began law studies in 1756, earned an A. M. in 1758, and was admitted to the bar a year later. He was quite good at his profession and was a leader for the colonists when the Stamp Act was imposed. His points were simple and applied to all British subjects – taxation only by consent and that all were entitled to a jury of their peers if charged with an offense.

He first met his future wife who was a cousin, Abigail, when she was fifteen years old. It was not love at first sight. However, over time they grew very close and married in 1764 when he was 29 and she was 19 years of age despite her mother’s objections. Adams’ father had died in 1761 and left him a small farm with a home. The couple moved in and lived there until 1783. They had six children together and four survived to adulthood. They had three sons, two became alcoholics, but one was successful and a future POTUS, John Quincy Adams.

The legal career of Adams was hugely successful with many notable cases during the period that included successfully representing John Hancock and the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre. Despite that he was an antagonist against the British Parliament ‘s Acts as well as moves of the Crown at every turn. He found the Boston Tea Party to be the “grandest event” in the history of the colonist independence movement. Yet, he was constantly struggling with living arrangements. He found the rural area of the Braintree farm and home to be filled with vulgar people unacceptable to raising his family, so he moved them to a home in Boston near his law practice; only to move them back to the farm a couple of years later due to the turmoil in Boston.

His activities during the Continental Congresses, votes and signing of the Declaration of Independence are well documented, sourced and legendary. I will not repeat them here as it would take too much time. However, none are more explanatory of his thoughts and devotions than the following letter to his wife, Abigail, dated July 3, 1776.

https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/most-memorable-epocha-john-adams-writes-about-declaration-independence

He knew what it all meant and the risks. He knew our nation was dependent on God’s Providence as written in the Declaration document he and the others signed. He was willing to risk it all for what would come of it.

An Observation

It is remarkable to me that many of our founders soon visited the nation that oppressed them after the war. Adams was no exception to this as he returned there for health reasons and because he could not get along with Benjamin Franklin in France the year the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the war. He even attended a meeting in Parliament and heard King George III recognize the independence of America. He brought his wife and family there and became the first minister (ambassador) to Great Britain from 1785-88.

As a result he desired to stay neutral with the war between Great Britain and France. However, he felt it necessary to achieve what we now know as “peace through strength” with a military build up in our homeland as well as strengthening our central government through the new Constitution and increased revenues to support it all. That would become very important with the War of 1812 looming in the not too distant future.

With his coziness with Great Britain, being a perceived antagonist of France, and the passage of the highly unpopular Alien and Sedition Acts that he promoted; it all eventually cost his political career. With his fall, the Federalist Party generally disappeared from existence after the War of 1812. In his later years, Adams reconciled with Anti-Federalist Thomas Jefferson as we discussed in a previous Part, thanks to the efforts of their mutual founding father friend, Benjamin Rush. The scars of politics and governance had healed enough for both to find perspective, put aside differences, and rekindle their friendship.

Quotes

Nothing sheds more light on the life of this patriot than his personal quotes. However, if you expect consistency in thought and word, you probably need to move on to future Parts and other signers. Nobody could flip flop better that John Adams in my opinion. He was always quick with a remark and had an opinion on every subject or person. The problem was that at times his opinion changed depending on the audience, interactions, and season. That being said, many are memorable and relevant to patriotism. Below is a sampling of quotes on various subjects.

Quotes on Government,

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

“When legislature is corrupted, the people are undone.”

On Freedom and Democracy,

“Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.”

“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.”

“Liberty, according to my metaphysics is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.”

On the Constitution,

“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

“Human passions unbridled by morality and religion…would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.”

On Power,

“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.”

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

On Law and Politics,

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, “whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,” and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”

“In politics the middle way is none at all.”

On Religion,

(The next two are dandies 😂 – TB2)

”Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean Hell.”

“This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.”

“Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System.”

I could go on and on as he had quotes for years. Just one more, it is well noted, and is 100% truth.

“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”

America will not be enslaved by sword anytime soon. It was being enslaved by debt. Which is a Biblical statement of truth (Proverbs 22:7) that John Adams may have agreed with (or not) depending on situation, audience, day of the week, weather forecast… 🤪

Conclusion

Normally, I would end there. I would stay on topic, which in this case would be about John Adams and something he did or said. This great patriot achieved the highest office in the land and risked everything for liberty. He lived to 91 years of age and had a very close relationship with his wife, family and many contemporaries. As previously stated he had son who became a POTUS as well. However, I am not sure he had the relationship I would have wanted for him to have with Jesus Christ. I believe his life would have played out somewhat differently and he would not have been so polarizing and sharp of tongue. That would have led to reason and less contentiousness that sank his career in public service. I contrast him with another fiery founding father below, who was a contemporary of Adams, and who made the statement below. From the Trumpet Voice of Freedom,

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”

– Patrick Henry –

May it always be so.

This is an X thread that I told Aubergine about a while back, which I thought would be of interest to her because it borders on her metaphysical beliefs about time, God, and the universe.

The thread concerns a cosmological hypothesis which demonstrates that not only is time not absolute in our universe – the relativistic nature of time has resulted in UNEVEN AGING within the universe, due to the uneven nature of matter. There appear to be differences of age of billions of years between different parts of the universe, just according to their own clocks.

To be clear, the ages are still billions of years everywhere, but they’re different billions. Time has run faster (more billions) in the voids, and slower (fewer billions) near concentrations of matter, like clusters of galaxies.

Not only does this finer-grained look at time offer more physical and cosmological certainty about the rate of expansion of the universe – it helps us think more precisely about time at a metaphysical level. When we realize that time isn’t even homogeneous within our universe, it helps us to break free from the assumption that any kind of time, corresponding to our own, much less an absolute time similar to our own natural reckoning, necessarily exists beyond or outside of our own universe. When we try to consider a God capable of existing “outside of time”, we should consider the possibility that “time” itself may not even apply.

Try to follow along with this fascinating thread, which has sat in a long-preserved tab which I can now close!

In 1929 Edwin Hubble made an incredible discovery: the further away a galaxy was, the faster it appeared to be moving away from this. He was able to determine this by measuring Cepheid variable stars, which have a consistent relationship between their brightness and pulsation period, and so they can act as excellent distance markers. Using these markers Hubble found that the more distant a galaxy was, the more red-shifted its spectrum of light became, meaning it was moving away from us at a higher velocity. The further the distance to a galaxy, the faster it was receding. Therefore, the universe was expanding.

This model of the universe, where things started from a single origin and uniformly expanded outwards, dominated for decades until the 1990s. Astronomers were looking at Type Ia supernova at high redshift to see how the expansion of the universe was slowing down over time Type 1a supernova are useful as ‘standard candles’ because they have constant brightness, since they form by a star stripping mass from its neighboring binary partner until they reach the Chanradesekar limit from below, at which point they expldoe. So, they always explode with the same energy and brightness.

Now, you can do a lot of statistical trickery to get a favored result to your own pet theory. Why should Timescape model be taken seriously? Two big reasons: – The universe is emphatically not homogenous, and so void regions DO have a faster clock-rate than galactic superclusters and filaments and this should be accounted for in any model of expansion. – Dark Energy is supposed to make up ~2/3rds of the universe’s energy content yet doesn’t correspond to anything we’ve ever observed experimentally. It solely exists to explain this anomaly of distant supernova redshift. In the timescape model, the universe very well may be slowing down in expansion after some initial Big Bang event – its yet to be determined. The future fate of the cosmos seems still to be determined as advances in cosmology regularly demand we revisit our models.


So there you have it. Does it make sense?

2025.06.17 American Stories: When in the Course…OK, I Lied

Yup, I said we would start back on Declaration signers today. Going to need to postpone that to next Tuesday’s opener. If I do not discuss the following I will probably forget and it is sneakily more important to the big picture of what our VSGPOTUS is doing than many realize. It is the industry in which I made my living as readers of BIMD will remember.

Small Business Acts of Importance

These links are short summaries – will not take long to read.

The official CEASE bill,

https://www.congress.gov/index.php/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2987/text

Next is an industry summary of what it is about. ABA stands for the banking industry in this instance, not the Bar Assn. for the legal industry.

Link below is to all of the bills that came out of the great work of the HR Small Business Committee, including CEASE.

https://smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=407198

Why Is All This Important?

Let’s answer that question with a simple statement that has been true for many, many years. Approximately half of the employed people in America work for who the federal government classifies as small businesses.

Must be kind of a big deal, right?

I am focusing on CEASE because of industry knowledge and experience. However, all seven Acts are very important and part of the much larger puzzle of what PDT is piecing together. Notice that all seven passed out of Committee along party lines at 15-11.

America should really stop pretending that bipartisanship can exist consistently. That idea is trash. It was promoted by the Uniparty for decades as a means for selling their dedication to American citizens, which we now know was hogwash. If you hear the word being sold by a politician or media propagandist you know what side they are on. Full stop.

Concerning all of the Acts passed in the committee, please notice that they are not all about small business necessarily. The SBA as an agency is a means to an end with some of the acts. It is also about using the agency as a weapon against illegal voter registration, against sanctuary cities, to cut regulatory burdens, and against climate change related scams.

Some on here will remember my recent posts about a fellow co-worker from my tree that took over a small business lending department for a bank in our area after I retired. He recently called and was distraught; considering early retirement over what Brandon and cronies did to the industry. They had opened the floodgates for borrower loan requests over $1 million and did not care if they were citizens or not or even if they were creditworthy. As a result fraud was rampant, delinquencies and defaults were soaring, and the agency was not honoring their guaranties on defaulted loans of even the honest lenders on a timely basis. In fact, they were trying to renege as often as they could. It had all turned into one giant clusterf–k.

i told him to be patient as I felt it would be addressed soon by the Trump admin and MAGA elected officials. Many of them experienced great heartburn over PPP program fraud that was administered by SBA during COVID. We see the results of their and the banking industry’s concerns in the bills linked above. We also see greatly improved internal policy decisions that reflect the changes below. Effective June 1, that hammer fell. All SBA lenders and small business borrowers must comply with the following revised, common sense, sound credit parameters and requirements to obtain SBA guaranteed loans.

https://www.commerciallendingx.com/blog/sba-policy-changes-effective-june-1st-2025

Most were parameters that were already required in some format and/or amount during my career that effectively ended on a full time basis 17 years ago. That they were not followed in the years since simply points to the systematic destruction of critically important financing options for small business owners who do not ordinarily qualify for conventional financing options at banks and other lenders. Brandon’s bunch desired the opposite to increase funds for the woke and money launderers.

The primary purpose of this private/public partnership between banks and the federal government is to provide capital to small businesses that need and deserve support. In turn they grow, provide products and services to the public, pay taxes, provide incomes and benefits to owners and employees, play important parts in communities and so on. In summary, they participate in the American Way. Many successfully become larger businesses and iconic brands that employ even larger numbers of people. However, it is true that many big businesses do not want increased competition. As a result they play politics with their smaller competitors to retain market share.

Which leads to the Main Street versus Wall Street tension that SD at TCTH discusses as well as in discussion within our federal government today. The former party of big business only is now the party of Main Street as well with the America First policies of the MAGA movement, thanks to the efforts of the patriots in league with PDT. The internal tension within the GOP will be to keep the playing field level for both big and small business. Which makes the next topics encouraging for us Main Street types.

CEASE Act

Some may ask why would an act be necessary to limit the number of non-bank lenders who could be active in SBA lending programs? Here is what led to it,

https://www.icba.org/newsroom/news-and-articles/2025/06/06/house-passes-icba-backed-legislation-to-protect-sba-lending

The truth is some of the non-bank small business lenders with licenses, SBLC’s, typically are bottom feeders. Some only meet minimum capitalization requirements and receive funding from other wholesale lenders at a higher cost of funds than banks typically realize. They also are not subject to regulatory scrutiny of the banking industry. That can lead to some shady dealings at times.

As a result some SBLC’s typically take more risk and charge borrowers higher interest rates to counter. As a natural consequence they experience higher delinquency rates and loan defaults. Like many other bank lenders in the program, they sell participations in the SBA guaranteed portions of loans to investors such as hedge funds, pension funds, insurance companies, credit unions, etc, that are usually represented by investment brokerage houses. The lack of credit worthiness of some of their customers impacts the overall performance of the pools of loans that go into securitizations that are sold to the end investors. This reduces their value over time, which reduces the premium offered to all lenders in the programs. It is not fair to thousands of banks that a handful of SBLC’s acting in bad faith are allowed to spoil the debt market barrel for the product. Not to mention the extra work created for SBA’s liquidation area on defaulted loans.

This is a weakness for all types of debt markets on Wall Street. it was the underlying cause of the debt market collapse of 2008 leading into The Great Recession. So what is the primary that weakness that can cause a nation’s economy to crumble? The Wall Street buyers of all types of loans are not “credit” people as bankers view credit. For example, bankers view credit from the perspective of the 5 C’s of credit, which bank regulators like from the FDIC understand and consider in their reviews. Those categories are character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions. Commercial bankers are trained in the long established methodology of making loans to borrowers who are most likely to repay the bank back on time. This is the Main Street view – know your borrower and how they handle their business.

Wall Street sees credit differently. They do not drill down into individual loans to determine viability. They view historical performance of industries (SIC codes) and locational aspects along with loan pool average interest rates, terms, collateral, industry concentrations, etc. as the credit of the overall deal. They rely on rating agencies – S&P, Moody’s and Fitch to ascertain their overall rating of each pool of loans. The ratings agencies typically only review a small sampling of loans and are more interested in the documentation being correctly executed. To Wall Street, those are the factors that provide the credit worthiness of the macro pool of loans, not the micro individual loans themselves.

In my opinion this void in understanding credit was a major cause of the Great Recession because it happened in every type of debt instrument – residential mortgages, car loans, credit cards, commercial real estate, etc. This led to the banker version of credit being undercut by the crappy underwriting of non-bank lenders in all of those business segments, industries, and locations. Wall Street purchased huge volumes of loans from those sources in many overheated markets. When the borrowers began tanking on their loans in large numbers as the economy and job markets cooled, caused by politicians primarily, the funding for new loans in even stable industries also dried up. The institutional buyers were deservedly spooked and sought safe harbor in treasuries and other more stable investments. All of the insurance coverage with hedges, swaps and such went down with it. The Great Recession kicked in.

As it applies to SBA lending, when lesser performing SBLC’s provide lower quality loans to a mixed pool involving other lenders, they can taint the whole pool and hide crap loans. SBLC loans are mixed into pools with those of banks. Everybody is affected. As you will see below, they rack up some profits short term and once the crap begins to hit the fan – poof – they are gone.

Current Status

Below is the list of active SBLC’s as of 1/29/25 with authorization to make loans up to $5 million.

Alaska Growth Capital BIDCO, Inc. Nationwide
Arkansas Capital Corp. Nationwide
Centerstone SBA Lending, Inc. Nationwide
CRF Small Business Loan Company, LLC Nationwide
First Western SBLC, Inc Nationwide
Grow America Fund, Inc. Nationwide
Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC Nationwide
Lendistry SBLC, LLC Nationwide
Lendstream Small Business Finance, LLC Nationwide
Port 51 Lending, LLC Nationwide
Readycap Lending, LLC Nationwide
VelocitySBA, LLC Nationwide

Notice anything about the current list? There are 16 licenses authorized by the past act before Brandon and gang removed that restriction, at which time it went up to 19 approved lenders when they approved three new lender licenses. I will address an even worse atrocity associated with the 2023 changes involving the creation of special purpose lending companies later in this text below.

Currently, it is back to 16 authorized SBLC licenses again, yet, there are only 12 licensed lenders as of the beginning of PDT’s term of office. What happened to the four that were approved in the second half of 2024 – Cooperative Business Services (CBS), A10 Capital, Lafayette Square and Stonehenge Capital as replacements for four others who dropped out previously? They are not on the current list.

This is because their applications did not get activated with required Congressional approvals in time before PDT assumed office, so they lost out with PDT coming in. We also know one of the current licensees, Lendstream, has not made any SBA loans since 2022. They should not even have the license if they are going to be inactive, so something is “off” there. We also know that one of Brandon’s newbie three, Funding Circle, closed its operations soon after it started. Two were added that are still on the list, Alaska and Arkansas. So, sometime in 2024 they also replaced two that dropped off the list. That means a total of 6 lenders were approved to replace 6 on the list in 2024 and three were added above the former 16 limit, one of which failed. That is a movement of 9 non-bank licensed lenders in a year. That leaves 11 that are actually making SBA loans out of 16 authorized slots in 2025.

😂

Needless to say making fraudulent loans to formerly ineligible customers (i. e. illegals) by criminal enterprises using federal guaranties on the majority of the loans that create extra profits for the subject non-bank lenders is a recipe for disaster for the programs, SBA and Americans. The current admin is taking the approach of eliminating that possibility in opposition to Brandon and the Uniparty who had that as their MO for SBLC’s since banks are more controlled by Congressional acts as well as regulatory authorities.

Hypothetically, let’s say you are a higher up in a cartel and you have established some seemingly legit businesses to launder cash through. In the past you could invest into an SBLC with the Brandon regime’s approval through a shell company or other legit business. You would then have the ability to influence or otherwise approve loans to other connected businesses to pull cash and/or launder money. In those businesses there would probably be hordes of illegals as employees who were given some form of legal resident status by Brandon’s crims, which undoubtedly also led to some being illegally registered as voters, Medicaid recipients, Social Security recipients and so on. All of the above would support Dem politicians and designees.

Is some of this making sense now? SBA is just one agency of the federal government that was used for these type purposes, there were many more.

In my personal opinion, that cartel/crim scenario probably applied to more than one of the exited licensed lenders including the ones discussed in the link below. The legit SBLC’s generally make enough good loans to help cover for the excessive bad loans of the crims, who have lower loan volumes as they attempt to stay under the radar. The loan volume of the better lenders is higher and they have received SBA’s highly desired Preferred Lender status rating, which means they do things right. I know several of the leaders of these quality lenders; did business with one CEO when he was employed at a well known SBLC from BIMD.

The following SBA press release from a month ago gives clarity and examples of an explosion of the new special purpose SBLC’s that Brandon’s crims put in place.

https://www.sba.gov/article/2025/05/19/sba-overhauls-reckless-biden-era-lending-program

From the link; “However, in 2023, the Biden Administration revived Community Advantage and approved more than 140 new, unregulated lenders for the program, selectively certifying groups including “The Progress Fund,” “PeopleFund,” and “Black Business Investment Fund.” It then attempted to increase the loan limit for the program from $250,000 to $500,000 – or up to $2 million to fund climate-related projects in support of the Green New Scam.”

SBA as an agency and the industry was a goner if PDT had not won. Obviously the agency was a major source of fraud and money laundering using leftist scams and illegals.

Conclusion

All of these current congressional activities tell me the Trump admin is all over it and knows the game the crims have been playing. The plug is being pulled and it is a GREAT thing for America in many areas of concern.

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.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!
