Seems Road To Liberty, videos no longer posting on a regular basis. 🙁

A tangent of sorts…

Freedom 250 Presents: The Launch of Freedom Trucks

Freedom 250 Presents: The Launch of Freedom Trucks

1:04.

A fleet of six Mobile Museums, known as “Freedom Trucks,” are traveling throughout 2026, bringing the story of American independence to students, families, and citizens in every corner of our country. With interactive and inspiring content for visitors of all ages, the exhibit tells the harrowing story of how 13 colonies declared independence, defeated the greatest empire in the world, and secured American sovereignty 250 years ago. With engaging elements such as, “Are you a loyalist or patriot” quiz, a kiosk to sign your name digitally to the Declaration, and a wall of 50 American heroes, these exhibits celebrate the remarkable achievements that 250 years have made possible.

Freedom Truck Mobile Museums were created in partnership with PragerU and Hillsdale College and made possible by The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

Freedom Trucks schedule, through October at the link below.

Net Zero AND Green New Scam weenies are always worth a laugh, taunt, sarcasm…

Not a big issue today in America, but, if the Straits of Hormuz remain closed, it Will Be A BFD. Less so in America, but it will effect us. America, heavily dependent on imports. Including food. Though I do NOT have any idea the degree, food sectors. We may learn. Worth monitoring in the short term, for now. Adjust, IF necessary.

Welcome to 20% of Net Zero (oil & gas, not coal) – Think About It…

Dear Climate Crazies, Doom Goblins, and Gang Green- You are now living 20% of your dream…

In an odd turn, I find myself thinking that leaving the Strait of Hormuz closed might be the best thing we could do for the world. It is just 20% of the Oil & Gas only (NOT the coal or nuclear power) taken off line. Given that the “goal” of the Climate Crazies is 100% net zero by 2030 (last time I looked), we have simply moved 1 year closer to that goal, and will need to do the same every year… ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30 & ‘success’… so WHY bother to reopen it? It will just set the world back a full year on their “progress” to their “goal”…

Embrace the pain. Live with the economic collapse, the $10 / gallon gasoline & Diesel fuel. The hunger from food system collapse and the lack of damn near everything as shipping and international trade shudders to a halt. That IS what will come anyway, as long as the goals do not change.

So think of this as a small 20% “taster” of stopping oil & gas. Realize that more power comes from Coal, and that isn’t done yet (so really this is about a 10% “hit” of the total).

So where are we? Survival Lilly gives a short summary of Europe and a bit more.

Germany gets the Draft, again, and continues economic collapse with destruction of energy supplies, making Lake Coal:

12:37 (Slow Guy. Perhaps worth a listen. Nothing new, by me.)

And a broader look at European distress… The ships that were already in transit with LNG & oil have arrived, and only now is the actual shortage of physical supply manifesting. So what’s happening and planned “going forward”? “Doom, despair, and agony… ” as the song goes:

10:02 (^^^ Slow Guy. Worth a glance…maybe…)

I’m in the USA, so this mostly has no effect on me. Gas is up about $1 to $1.50 compared to Trump’s best and still lower than Biden’s disaster. Stores are still fully stocked. I expect no significant worsening for things here. BUT even with the USA oil & LNG “lifeline” to Europe, they are toast. Just not possible to refill the natural gas storage in time for winter without M.E. LNG. (or Russian gas… that will now go to China instead). Were I living in Europe, I’d be moving out.

Oh, and California is going to implode badly too, as they are shutting oil refineries and depending on tankers to deliver oil from Russia & the Middle East after refining in Asia… who have announced they are halting exports.

How bad will it be in Asia? Remembering that we get most manufactured goods, materials & products from them now. China got hacked, China NOT backing a UN Security Counsel move to open the Strait. Continuing decline of Real Estate and exports…

12:55 (Slow Guy. Some interesting stuff I had not heard. Worthy. )

And France taking a dive too, along with China:

8:47 (Slow Guy. Worthy listen. Big picture matters. Mid and long term implications of the Straits of Hormuz closed.)

North Sea oil for immediate delivery near $147 / bbl…

Then a bit more on food, from a paranoid POV:

12:30 (Slow Guy. Much of this chatter IS similar to discussions we had when Ukraine Russia war started AND droned on. <<< Russian fertilizer was largely rerouted to end buyers / users. Prices went up. Never the crisis thought it might become.

The Straits of Hormuz closed long term is HUGE. Oil, obviously. Damage to ME fertilizer industry…impacting the global community.

Capitalists have a way of figuring stuff out. Making money, is quite an incentive.

Worthy listen.)

UPDATE:

Philippines declares fuel emergency (almost all comes from M.E.) & Japan hit too:

7:31. (Slow Guy. Philippines imports 98% of it oil from ME. Nothing surprising.)

In Conclusion

So why not take the hit now. Let the world see, feel, live the dream, have the full experience of just 20% of the Green Dream. Perhaps a few “leaders” and “decision makers” would be able to see just how bad it is, and how much worse it would be to actually go to zero.

These folks have ZERO ability to see what is coming, so let it hit them full in the face. That seems to be the only time the see anything and (potentially) can learn how stupid their decisions have been.

I know, easy for me to say since I’m in a “Safe Place” and won’t have much bad to deal with. But consider the alternative. We let the Crazies continue on their destruction of global energy supplies, rocketing the global economy into full collapse and that inevitably leading to Global War (hungry cold people usually do that).

Pain early and hopefully lighter with learning.
or
Pain more and worse later after it is too late to change.

Decisions decisions…

Dear MAGA: 20260409 ✾ 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!

Hot, fresh trinkets – and 4 out of 5 are heavy on the XX! ENJOY!!!

(1) Chip Babe Anastasia is back, looking far less AI than usual. This time INTEL is getting the love!

(2) Speaking of love, the story on Robert Palmer’s video for Addicted To Love is pretty amazing. Check it out!

(3) Want to see some REAL hacking? No tense music. No babes urging on the geek. No race to get it done in under 60 seconds before the alarms go off and the security guards with machine guns burst into the room.

Just some dude who knows programming, ordering a cheap Chinese router on Temu, and abusing it, as it was surely designed to be abused.

(4) This is absolutely hilarious! A massive victory for free speech, thanks to a mellow black stoner in Ohio. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! Brett Cooper (yes, Brett the girl) tells the story.

(5) Let’s finish with a comic/magician who acts as her own eye-candy distraction. Good times!

2026.04.07 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

Some may remember my recent daily about a large “package” delivered by “mistake” to a older neighbor friend of a couple of family members in our county. It turned out to be container of vape items packed around a large cocaine stash. It ended up being involved a drug task force operation focused on a trafficking ring of Honduran illegals. It never made it into media reports. Odd.

However, it turns out the story I told you in that thread was actually the SECOND time unordered packages were dropped off in the neighbor’s driveway. It seems it also happened in the spring of 2025 and resulted in a big heroin, fentanyl. meth, LSD, etc. drug bust that was publicized widely throughout the region. The neighbor forgot to tell our family members about the first time that packages were placed in her driveway.

So it is with great interest that I bring you the following. Guess what happened again, now for the third time? Yup.

Which leads to the obvious question: Is this older (upper 60’s) female neighbor friend a drug trafficking kingpin, or should I say, queenpin?

😂

If you knew the type ditz that she is you would laugh heartily at the suggestion. She still works as an assistant in the county school system, has been divorced for many years with basically no life except with a few friends, son and her job. Add in she is scared of everybody including the police as well as her own shadow.

But here we are again. Multiple heavy packages that needed a dolly to deliver were dropped in that same driveway this past week for the third time in about a year, blocking her car again. No recipient name was shown on them, just the recipient address. It is the same address on the packages as the previous two times. This time she caught the FedEx delivery driver before he sped away. She insisted he come back to her house and remove them. We received the call immediately afterwards from our family member and notified our SonIL, who was off duty, who then called it into the PD.

Please understand, the street number and the first letter of the street name of the neighbor are the same. That is all. The name for her street is actually a five letter word followed by Drive, the name for the vape/tobacco store recipient that reopened since the last subject bust, has one four letter word followed by Street. The store is located next to a pool hall and some run down tenement type housing where they caught the trafficking illegal aliens the first two times. The subject two locations are several miles apart with the business in a heavily travelled area and the residence in a more remote, harder to access older residential development. FedEx delivers routinely in the entire area and city daily. Their area distribution hub is even in the same town. They know those addresses are not the same. They also would know the house they delivered to is hidden from the subdivision’s road and an older, single female lives there who works in town.

But wait, there is MOAR!. FedEx went back the next morning and delivered the same packages to the neighbor’s driveway anyway. This time the neighbor’s adult son came to her house and called FedEx to retrieve them. He and our family members waited until two young women delivery personnel in a FedEx truck arrived to pick them up. One acted angry and opened up a box in their presence to show the contents were snacks. The one that did it was hispanic, spoke in broken English, had rotten teeth, wore a FedEx uniform and had a bad attitude. She said that the neighbor’s residence was listed as a secondary address for delivery for when the store, the intended recipient, was not open. How did that get arranged without the lady’s consent? Why has it happened three times in a year and the two previous times turn out to be drug trafficking related?

The two women then loaded the boxes with a dolly and left. Notice I said they needed a dolly with “snacks”? Dem’s some heavy on the gut snacks. You don’t need a dolly for a handful of boxes of snacks.

The “snacks” were FedExed from Honduras. It said so on the boxes. Those are some dang fine, valuable, desirable Cheetos and shiz, emphasis on shiz. Why would a FedEx employee open any box addressed to any customers at any location? That makes zero sense and it is highly doubtful that is a company authorized procedure. Of course the other boxes were not checked or the full contents of the open box displayed. Just because it was addressed to an interconnected bunch of Hondurans like those busted twice in the past year, I am sure that everything is on the level (sarc/). The FedEx carriers acted surprised and annoyed the older neighbor woman and her son would be suspicious that the latest packages showed they originated in Honduras. Of course that may be because she is a native hillbilly who would have difficulty even spelling the name, much less order a bunch of snacks from there.

Houston, we have a problem. It appears that FedEx has a local hub for drug trafficking involving Honduran criminal illegal aliens along with American co-conspirators.

Shocker, I know. Not really. Nothing surprises any of us on here anymore.

SonIL said ICE has not been active in our area lately. The worst of the worst have been removed and they have probably been reassigned to other areas. There have been a large segment of Hondurans, Guatemalans and Meh-i-cans previously removed and who have self deported from the area, but some of their lesser family members are still around as ICE has moved some of their assets to the other assignments. Looks like these remaining Honduran grunts may have picked up where their predecessors left off. They will soon have the same end destination.

Current Status

It turns out the noose is tightening around the whole bunch again, including an investigation of the FedEx operation. The neighbor friend has been given a high ranking PD drug task force officer to contact should an unknown package ever arrive at her home again. He is not amused as he was a former resident of that quiet neighborhood and personally knows both the neighbor, our family members as well as my own family unit. SonIL will be in on the assist of the task force for his expertise as needed.

We will soon learn if employees or contractors of FedEx are involved in the trafficking or if this has been an elaborate Fed sting operation to nail more Honduran criminals. Will update with a post in real time down the road.

But This Situation Got Me To Thinking (I Know – Scary – 😀)

What if international carriers are big spokes in the wheel for drug and human trafficking worldwide? What does that say about our airports and other ports of entry? Are the Chynese scum still actively operating some of our ports? What does that say about the businesses involved? What does that say about federal and state policing capabilities as well as complicity with looking the other way or even facilitating the criminal activities? Why would the Dems lose their minds and try to shut down American citizens from using passenger air travel through obstruction by withholding funds from TSA, BP and ICE staffs, Coast Guard, etc.? Why would the Save America Act, a common sense bill supported by over 80% of ALL Americans, cause them to pull idiotic orangoutang acts the way they have with the help of spineless Uniparty participating RINOs?

We know land entry of illegals and as result, trafficking, is essentially shut down from the south and under surveillance to the north. We know the military has essentially killed the typical drug shipping lanes on the water. Firing missiles at their drug boats tends to do that. We know from #47’s comments that other methods and routes are being addressed. Yet, we still have unopened, obviously unchecked and undetected boxes from cartel controlled countries arriving daily through our airports and ports of entry containing illegal drugs that poison our population, kill people and destroy local economies. We are still not sweeping up the entire illegal population of criminals in this country and deporting them. Even here in deep red hillbilly flyover country the evidence is clear. Some local businesses are still using them. As an example I am personally going to address it with a local roofing company who employs a couple they sent to my home for a repair.

Again, Houston, we have a problem. Let’s finish the Iran excursion, flush NATO, set up bases with true allies that share our values, and take total Donroe control of the true West – the Western Hemisphere. We share history with the Euros, we do not share values. Their leaders have turned toward embracing evil. Their nations have been grifting off us for far too long. That is wealth and military assets that could be better used elsewhere. If any of their populations want back in our good graces they can take control of their countries, dissolve the EU and increase their military abilities. We will know if or when it ever happens by whether they jettison the Islamists and remnants of the cabal’s banking empire.

We meed to use the incredible intelligence, innovation, technology, dedication, work ethic, patriotism and faith in God’s providence in America from our national servants for the good of We the People FIRST. We cannot be President Reagan’s “City upon a hill” without first understanding the source of the phrase that originated with the words of our Lord Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount about salt and light in Matthew 5:13-16.

Great things happen in America and are shared around the world because of who He has made us to be. Let’s be about correcting the manipulation, deception, corruption and criminality from within. We all need to participate for it to happen as it should.

A Reminder

In America we chose to willingly live under God’s providence from our inception. It is a condition of our existence, written with ink on documents and blood on the battlefields. In that state of existence He intervenes and guides everything to accomplish His divine will. That is what our founding fathers knew, why they used the word, and why they wrote our founding documents the way they did. Nothing has changed. It is why we are the greatest nation on Earth. Anybody who does not agree and tries to circumvent should be gone. It would be worthy to have their citizenship stripped and dropped into Islamabob. The truth should be taught in every school, church and home in America.

As patriots, remain committed. Take time to enjoy being who He made you to be no matter the quirks, obstacles, and challenges you face. Living life as the Lord spells out for all of us leads to the freedom and happiness that was placed within each of us at our conception. We could start now as Holy Week remains fresh in our minds and hearts. It is time for the cleansing of our collective American spirits at the Cross of Christ – Calvary – as well as at the empty tomb.

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, PLEASE trust Trump and the plan.

Dear KMAG: 20260406 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:

gridelin

noun / adjective

  • violet-grey (color)
  •  color mixed of white, and red, or a gray violet
  • color that is a mixture of white and red; grey-violet
  • having such a color

Used in a sentence

Gridelin is a dark purplish red that is bluer and paler than pansy purple, redder, lighter, and stronger than raisin, and bluer, lighter, and stronger than Bokhara; it is also called gris-de-lin, which is “flax gray” in French.

THE STUFF

The following AI representation of Roger Penrose – which is surprisingly easy to understand – is actually a really great explainer of his thinking, on an important topic that approaches the spiritual.

I was very pleased to see how well the AI sticks to Penrose’s perspective (I have some of his books). I suspect that the AI was highly trained on his thinking and publications.

Penrose is a British mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, born in 1931, who has made huge contributions to all three fields.

The question – what is mathematics?

(Non-Spoiler – My view is close to his, but is more Judaeo-Christian, and doesn’t speculate toward quantum processes as necessary for consciousness.)

https://youtu.be/NVeW932Tuvk

Math. Useful stuff. With G_d’s missing signature all over it!

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

But, what will be the impact of No Oil for EU, UK… Whatever those countries create, to export to America… Food? Products America needs for our economy. Prolly lots of alternative sources.

Well, “yes and no”. IMHO it is never time to Panic. Even in horrible disasters a clear, focused and calm rational approach works best. Preparation?

It is my suspicion that POTUS Trump does not expect the Save America Act to pass. AND he has plans to use an EO to make sure we have safe elections. If you look you can see the evidence surface.

(Yeah, Mama’s in a mood…)

In the mean time POTUS is letting the traitors in the Senate and Congress reveal themselves.

Peter Ticktin is one of the Lawyers for Tina Peters. Ticktin is also a high school classmate of President Donald Trump. Early in the following video he says a group of very smart lawyers have put together an EO for POTUS Trump.

Why We Vote Ep. 166: Peter Ticktin on Constitutional Law, Executive Power, and Election Legitimacy

CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by attorney Peter Ticktin for a wide-ranging discussion on constitutional law, executive authority, and the legal frameworks surrounding election legitimacy. The conversation explores how the Constitution is interpreted in modern legal battles, the limits of federal power, and how legal strategies are being used to challenge or defend election outcomes.

Peter breaks down complex constitutional arguments into plain terms, walking through the role of the executive branch, the judiciary, and the tension between state and federal authority. The discussion also touches on legal precedent, the importance of due process, and how courts approach politically sensitive cases.

Throughout the episode, the panel examines how legal narratives shape public perception and why understanding constitutional structure is critical in evaluating election-related disputes. It is a deep dive into law, power, and the ongoing debate over how America governs itself.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT

31:48 – 34:10 — Peter Ticktin:

FL is a free state (Canncon) Colorado is a captured state (Ashe)

We are the peg holding the rest of the world up. They have not gone to the depths of where this thing is going to go. It is not going to be a situation where if they were to win where it would be same-o same-o, just a different party running it. It does not work that way.

Within a matter of months of them taking over power, they would be picking us up in truck loads. This is the end of our society as we know it…. We either get the Executive Order or I am telling you it is going to be Martial Law…

Trump was close to doing something last time but he just did not have the power. This time before anyone is sworn in, it will be martial law because we were not able to stop it in a civil way. There is no way that Trump will sit there and say Oh, Golly Jee we lost again because we let them cheat. It will not be that way this time because we will all be dead meat. There will be no coming back from it…

34:30 Ashe:

So the E.O. is intended to create a national emergency so we can make these structural changes… We can not have real elections until we tell the truth about elections…

Brave AI

In January 2017, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security officially designated election infrastructure as a critical infrastructure subsector under the existing Government Facilities sector, recognizing that its incapacitation would have a devastating effect on the nation. Link 1

 This designation covers physical and virtual systems including voter registration databases, voting machines, polling places, and vote tabulation locations. Link 2

The designation does not grant the federal government authority to regulate, oversee, or manage elections, which remain the responsibility of state and local governments. Link 3

 Instead, it prioritizes cybersecurity assistance and enables the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to provide voluntary, no-cost services such as threat monitoring, vulnerability assessments, and incident response support to election officials who request them. States: Rescind Electoral Critical Infrastructure Designation–Secretaries of State Allege Federal Intrusion into States’ Affairs

[Looks like the states realized they could lose control of their fake elections. — GC]

Key components of the designation include:

  • Legal Basis: Defined by the Patriot Act and Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) as systems vital to national security, economic security, or public health. 
  • Scope: Encompasses IT infrastructure for managing elections, storage facilities, and networks used for counting, auditing, and reporting results. 
  • Collaboration: Facilitates the Election Infrastructure Subsector Government Coordinating Council (EIS-GCC) to coordinate between federal, state, and local stakeholders. 
  • Threat Response: Allows for sanctions and closed-door discussions regarding sensitive vulnerabilities to protect against cyber threats and foreign interference. 

From Cornell Law
ArtI.S4.C1.3 Congress and the Elections Clause

By providing Congress power to preempt state election procedures, the Framers sought to prevent states from thwarting the federal government’s operation by using state law to manipulate or preclude elections for the House of Representatives.9 For example, during the Constitutional Convention Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania expressed concern that “the States might make false returns and then make no provision for new elections,” 10 while Alexander Hamilton observed in the Federalist Papers that “Nothing can be more evident than that an exclusive power of regulating elections for the national government, in the hands of the State legislatures, would leave the existence of the Union entirely at their mercy.” 11 Despite the Elections Clause providing Congress power to preempt state law governing elections, Congress did not exercise this power until 1842 when it passed a law requiring that Representatives be elected on a district basis.12 Congress subsequently added contiguity, compactness, and substantial equality of population to districting requirements.13

In the Court’s 1997 decision, Foster v. Love, the Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision that, 👉under the Elections Clause, federal law preempted a Louisiana statute governing congressional elections.14 The Foster Court noted that while states can prescribe regulations governing the Times, Places and Manner of holding elections, “Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations.” 15 The Court stated…

So Congress does have power over federal elections and they exercised that power in the Patriot Act despite what Brave AI said.

Starting Point:

U.S. Election Systems as Critical Infrastructure


On January 6, 2017, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson designated U.S. election systems as part of the nation’s critical infrastructure, a decision that was later affirmed by current DHS Secretary John Kelly. Since the designation was announced, state and local election officials across the country have raised questions about the day-to-day impact of the designation and how it will benefit their work to conduct accessible, accurate and secure elections. This document details DHS’s critical infrastructure designation and what election administrators can expect moving forward. It also provides a glossary of terms frequently used in conjunction with correspondence and discussions about critical infrastructure designation….

So at the end of his term Obama designated US Election Systems as critical infrastructure. 😂

DOMINION VOTING MACHINES MADE IN CHINA

SACRAMENTO REGISTRAR OF VOTERS

Election 2020

A Limited Case Study

“A secure and resilient electoral process is a vital national interest and one of our highest priorities.”

OVERVIEW

In December 2020 our cyber election team was invited by Mrs. Courtney Bailey-Kanelos, the Registrar of Voters in Sacramento County, California to review Sacramento’s election system, and to audit the 2020 election results.  The cyber election team was offered a $1.00 contract by the Registrar of Voters to perform the work (see Exhibits).  The cyber election team accepted, and placed a technician on a plane to Sacramento within 24 hours.

ENVIRONMENT

Unfortunately, if one has spent any time in Washington, DC, one understands that the town is filled with people who have extremely sharp elbows, and frequently put their own agendas above the interests of the American people.  In this instance, a bad actor got word that a technician was on a plane headed to Sacramento, and proceeded to blow-up phones in Sacramento.  Before the cyber election team’s tech landed in Sacramento, the audit effort had been squashed, as others in the County were now involved and the brakes put on the planned contract.  Obviously, this was a great disappointment.

LIMITED CASE STUDY

The cyber election team’s technician did, however, receive a tour of the election facility by Mrs. Bailey-Kanelos, who was and continues to be extremely gracious in all dealings.  The cyber election team’s technician was escorted to every part of the building by Mrs. Bailey-Kanelos and allowed to take photographs of anything he wished.

In this brief document, we will post some of these photographs, and explain their significance, as they demonstrate how an election official, with the best of intentions, can expose this complicated election system to bad actors and potential manipulation…


The password for accessing the Dominion ballot printing software and printing ballots is taped to the laptop for any user to see and use.

Feb 5, 2026 CNN Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard’s office obtained and tested voting machines in Puerto Rico

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence obtained voting machines from Puerto Rico and probed them for security vulnerabilities, the office said in a statement to CNN Wednesday.

The extraordinary move comes amid Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s broader search for voter fraud at the behest of President Donald Trump, who has falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged despite numerous court rulings and audits debunking the claim. Gabbard was present as FBI agents executed a search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia, last week related to the 2020 election.

The ODNI claimed in its statement to have found “extremely concerning” cybersecurity and operational deployment practices with the voting machines in Puerto Rico but did not provide detailed evidence….

Mark Cook provides that evidence in the following video.


Why We Vote Ep. 167: Garland & Tamara Favorito on Fulton County Case, Seized Ballots, and Election System Vulnerabilities

CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Garland and Tamara Favorito for a deep dive into a major evidentiary hearing in Fulton County tied to the federal case surrounding 2020 election records. The conversation begins with firsthand insights from inside the courthouse, where discussions center on the FBI’s seizure of election materials, Fulton County’s legal response, and the implications of those records potentially being used as evidence.

The episode expands into broader election integrity efforts, including newly passed legislation, ongoing investigations, and the challenges of transparency in election systems. The panel also explores concerns around computerized voting systems, vulnerabilities in tabulation processes, and efforts to demonstrate potential manipulation during legislative hearings.

Throughout the discussion, Garland and Tamara emphasize citizen involvement, highlighting the importance of public testimony, grassroots action, and direct participation in hearings to push for accountability. The episode closes with a strong argument for returning control of elections to the people, focusing on simplicity, transparency, and trust in the voting process.

VERY ROUGH PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

4:45 to 33 minutes — Garland and Tamara Favorito:

Fulton County is trying to get back the ballots seized by the FBI. Do the county officials actually even have STANDING??? That is the matter before the court in this hearing. It should be an open and shut HELL NO! But not in the Amerika judicial system. [Remember all those “numerous court rulings” cited by CNN? Well the courts found citizens had NO STANDING and thus there never were any actual trials in most cases. –GC]

VERY IMPORTANT BOMB SHELL:

Please watch this video from 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Yes, it is long, but it is the election fraud smoking guns explained so a 10 year old could understand it. It explains why Colorado went ballistic when Tina Peters had a forensic image captured before the ‘Trusted Build’ by Dominion.

Interview of Mark Cook. His website is Great American Rebirth that I quoted above.

37 minutes Mark Cook:

He states he is a Subject Matter Expert in Election Cyber Security & THREAT ASSESSMENT with 40 years in IT & 6 in Elections. He says: I have absolute proof of backdoors built in to voting machines….

1:01:30 He gives a demo of the backdoors.

“…Tina Peters forensic image… God bless her, she allowed citizens to see what is in their black box voting machines. This is why she is being tortured…”

1;06;45 Mrs. Courtney Bailey-Kanelos, the Registrar of Voters in Sacramento County, California invited Mark Cook to CA and HE GETS A TOUR of the voting machines. See the article above.

He explains sequel [sql] server tools in simple terms.

1;07;10 Sequel Server Management is a stand alone that gets directly into the database bypassing the software that is suppose to keep it secure.

[Now think about that for a minute and think about those voting machines DHS grabbed from Puerto Rico…😂 — GC]

1:20:00 They can CHANGE the outcome of the election and there is NO RECORD!

1:25:45 Then Mark demonstrates something else using flash drives. He plugs in a flash drive and does NOTHING ELSE. He doesn’t hit enter or anything. He just holds up hands. He is NOT typing. The flash drive pulls up another backdoor. It starts flipping numbers in the database AND WILL NOT LEAVE A TRACE. (Change tracking is disbled. It comes that way from the factory & when Dominion sets it up for the county, they do not turn tracking ON!)

END 1:29:14

Canncon makes the point that Mark’s demo is slowed way down to make the changes visible. It actually happens fast, in about a second or so.

……

Name: USB Flash Drive #4 (backside)

Discussion: Back side of USB Flash Drive #4, showing a unique identifier, probably assigned by the county.


PRELIMINARY FINDINGS: SUMMARY from SACRAMENTO Case Study

  • Given the photographic evidence above, and the information provided by the voter registrar, our cyber election team concludes that it would have been trivial to:
    • print unlimited ballots while unsupervised;
    • connect the election system to an external network or the Internet during the election;
    • introduce new software, firmware, voted ballots into critical election equipment via USB or portable hard drive;
  • Numerous election officials and warehouse workers have unfettered access to key election systems and ballots.
  • Sacramento refused to address numerous security concerns as required by Grand Jury prior to the 2020 Election, and instead stated they would address them after the election (see Exhibits).

Inside the Criminal Gangs Planning to Steal 2026

What are you doing about it?

..In late winter, I wrote a series on election fraud. The day after the last, the man I had written about Saturday, Peter Bernegger, a freaking hero, was arrested. Later that week another subject, Christina Bobb, Trump’s lawyer, and the Republican National Committee’s voter fraud expert, had to fly to Arizona and turn herself in.

The left can no longer win on the merits of their ideas, much less their actions. They have created one catastrophe after another. The only way they can win elections is steal them. And they have developed three hundred separate, specific, methodologies to do it. In my opinion, and that of others closer to the coal face….

Is Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s Governor, owned by the Sinaloa Cartel? Are 25% of Arizona’s Judges Corrupt?

Several crime syndicates steal our elections: the Chinese, Venezuelans, the British Empire, Luciferians, the Left. In Arizona, it’s the cartels.

Democrats on world voter ID from DataRepublican

FULL THREAD

Democrats TEACH voter identification and election integrity … just not in America

The Democratic Party has an international arm called the National Democratic Institute (NDI). It’s funded by $181M/year in US tax dollars. Its board includes Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Tom Daschle.

But in regards to today’s SAVE America Act debate… did you know that the NDI has taught and supervised election processes all over the world?

For 40 years, NDI has told every developing country on earth that voter ID is essential for election integrity. They’ve recommended biometric systems… yes, that’s right, NDI recommended biometric systems, which goes way beyond SAVE America Act! They praised fingerprint verification. Tracked ID card issuance rates.

Meanwhile, Democrats call the SAVE Act “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Same party. Same people. Opposite positions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread

NDI’s own 2001 guide emphasizes the importance of only citizens voting. It further says voter ID cards “introduce an additional safeguard into the system” and describes photo ID and fingerprints as standard election infrastructure.


In one of their PDFs, the complaint in Nicaragua wasn’t that voter ID existed. It was that the government wasn’t issuing ID cards FAST ENOUGH. They even called the issuance of temporary IDs as ignoring “the far more fundamental problem.”

In Morocco, NDI praised the switch to requiring just ONE photo ID at the polls, calling it “a positive development.” The SAVE Act requires one photo ID. Democrats call that Jim Crow.

In Bangladesh, NDI praised voter photo ID cards as giving “a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women.”

Stacey Abrams, NDI board member, calls the same requirement discriminatory at home.

Chuck Schumer: “The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws to the entire country.”

NDI (his party’s own arm): “Individuals who wish to participate in an election must somehow prove their identity, demonstrating that they are who they say they are.” And also must demonstrate citizenship

The biggest irony: NDI vice chair Stacey Abrams co-led the Nigeria 2023 election observation mission. Its final report called biometric voter ID “the most important contribution to raising confidence in electoral integrity.” She called Georgia’s voter ID law “Jim Crow in a suit.

The biggest irony: NDI vice chair Stacey Abrams co-led the Nigeria 2023 election observation mission. Its final report called biometric voter ID “the most important contribution to raising confidence in electoral integrity.” She called Georgia’s voter ID law “Jim Crow in a suit.

NDI has observed elections in 100+ countries. If they observed a US election, they’d flag 14 states with no voter ID requirement as failing basic election integrity standard… by their own published criteria.

The Democratic Party tells the world voter ID is democracy. Then tells Americans it’s Jim Crow.

THREAD END.

When all the different threads are pulled together, I think POTUS Trump will have the evidence he needs for his E.O. on Election Integrity.

2026.03.31 Daily Thread: The World According to Trade(Bait)

Today we are going to discuss – BUDGETS! Yeah! Everybody loves a budget. Right?! No?! Wut? You don’t love having a budget or even talking about them? Dang. Maybe I can change your mind. Maybe not.

With all of the unnecessary drama about the funding issues caused by Demoncrap politics and R-con pansies primarily in Club Senate, we need to remember all of it can be fixed if We the People keep the hammer down on ALL elected officials. I will be suggesting a couple of methods further down in this text for when America First MAGA decides to wield its power on the elected officials nationwide.

But first, let’s see what The Word has to say about a related subject. First from the Old Testament in Proverbs 21:5.

“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”

The next is from the New Testament in Luke 14:28.

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?“

We see that the prudent person makes plans that leads to success while the impulsive goes broke. In keeping with that, if you are planning to build or do something, you need to know how much it will cost or else it may not get done.

So plan for success. Check. Determine the cost and how much money you need to get it done. Check. Yeah, you know that means to BUDGET.

Simple concept to understand and execute if we are disciplined enough to do it. The problem is the majority of humanity rarely does. The attitude is “We don’t need no stinkin’ budgets (badges)!”

Budgets

I am not going to bore readers with a discussion on how to budget. You know how, you need to just do it. Below are some recommendations of types if you need them.

https://www.thrivent.com/insights/budgeting-saving/types-of-budgets-5-most-popular-methods-examples-who-theyre-best-for

Wifey and I have never budgeted annually. Instead we plan and do our version of the No-budget Budget continuously as in the link. Which means planning long term for purchases, investments and other major uses while controlling spending to build surpluses. Then we spend the money at the right time and always look for the low point in pricing of whatever it is, which can be on sale, seasonal, negotiable, etc. We do not agonize over spending the funds since we planned and did our due diligence about a product or purpose. This method works for even emergency usage purposes. You simply think through what could happen and plan for possible emergency needs along with allocating funds to savings over time.

However, the budgeting I am primarily discussing today is our nation’s.

Federal Budgets

When was the last time a full budget of our federal government was approved by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the POTUS on time before the fiscal year began, which means without use of continuing resolutions (CR’s)?

No fair cheating and asking AI. Well, OK, go ahead if you must.

The year was 1997. Yup, about three decades ago. So let’s revisit some headlines from those days.

Slick was still doing the dirty with Monica.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. 😂

Ireland granted a divorce for the first time in its history, Notorius B.I.G. was shot to death at an LA stoplight, Heaven’s Gate cult members committed mass suicide in SoCal, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of the Okie City bombing,

Tiger Woods won his first Masters. Shockingly, he is still alive after winning more and blowing up his body and personal life multiple times.

Hong Kong was returned to China, Princess Di died in that Paris car crash, John Denver died in a private plane crash, Elton John hit the top of the charts with Candle in the Wind, and the Titanic mega movie hit theaters.

The economy was buzzing. Newt’s Contract with America was paying big dividends and Slick was staying out of the way while taking all the credit; which was always the Clinton’s favorite move. The GDP had grown to a dazzling (for them and then) 3.75% range and markets were good with the Dow Jones Industrial Index closing at 7908. My own small business banking career was beginning to take off. Life was good in general for much of our population. The following Fed annual report can inform anybody who wants to know more about our nation’s financial condition.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/rptcongress/annual97/ar97_02.pdf

Fast forward a half dozen years and the trends may start making you depressed as you remember then and now. Look at how much the deficit has increased since the last annual budget surplus was achieved in 2001. Since that point our nation has experienced 9/11, forever wars, the debt markets collapse and Great Recession beginning in 2008, Russia Russia Russia, the COVID scamdemic, openly stolen elections and lighting a match to more money than we can count supporting Nazis in Ukraine. It has been almost like we were in a controlled state of demolition as a country. Right?

Well, what nation or nations rose during that period? Yup. What elected officials aligned with those nations during the period? What industries and companies benefitted the most from the answers to those questions? What events distracted We the People from the answers to those first two questions?

It has been as simple to analyze and understand as answering those type questions.

Today

We the People have learned much through those 25 years. We learned that the old rules, thoughts and ways of doing things are no longer productive or necessary. Citizen ownership of guns and concealed carry permits/licenses have exploded. We learned that many kids did not succeed in public schools or live well after getting shot up with endless vaccines. Prepper supplies and info sold like hotcakes. We have learned that Big Pharm, CDC, FDA, NIH and a sundry of medical professionals as well as related industries, organizations and schools are extremely dangerous scam artists and liars who are willing to commit genocide for a buck. We learned that some believe there are dozens of genders with matching pronouns, you can mutilate a human to make it a different sex to affirm the “dignity” of the person, that sexual perversion is cool and normal, that you can dress like an animal and use a kitty litter box instead of a toilet even in public schools, that baby parts and blood help old human demons stay alive, and so on.

You get the picture.

We also learned about a guy named Trump. Boy, did we ever learn. The entire globalist world upchucked on itself when #45 happened. We MAGA types could scarce believe our good fortune. We knew we were cooked as an independent nation without a force such as him and the patriots taking over. He brought incredible economic growth despite all of the skullduggery of the wicked globalists who opposed his every move and tried to take him down.

From these experiences we also learned on a more mundane business of We the People level that the nation does not need an annual federal budget since there has not been one that mattered even when eventually one would get done well into a fiscal year THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PERIOD.

A few years of stupidity is one thing, a quarter century of it should be enough for everybody to admit that things have to change.

It no longer mattered because the federal government ALWAYS spent far more than the revenues they forecast or received because investors and other countries continued to invest in our debt (Treasuries). At least they did when the Treasury and Fed were not issuing and buying back their own debt. Say hello to quantitative easing. Had the inflow and creation of funds out of thin air stopped, the excessive spending would have stopped and the complicit businesses that caused the fiscal nightmare to the economy would have hit the bankruptcy courts. But the politicians could not have that because there personal incomes would take a hit.

America provided foreign investors a perceived safe harbor such that they made an acceptable rate of return orchestrated by a compliant and complicit Fed, which is not controlled by the POTUS or Congress despite being technically under the U. S. Treasury. That was the brilliant evil that came from the globalist ghosts of Jekyll Island. Ot course the politicians have been all too happy to play along with the scam as they became richer and richer.

Some created funds usage went for nefarious purposes of weakening our nation’s economic condition to the delight of the Uniparty, War Pigs and other enemies of the Republic who benefitted. Trump and patriots are dismantling one of their primarily beneficiaries – the Islamic Republic of Iran, before our very eyes today. The international corruption became business as usual, entrenched and built into the system that eroded the wealth of our middle class. The national debt and annual deficits exploded.

The submitted budgets from Congress and Presidents never practically balanced and there have been no restraints. They were fantasy and lipstick on the pig. It was all SWAG based using phony baloney projections and assumptions cooked up by partisan political hacks and backed by the Dem controlled Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and other swamp critters. The Republicons never cared enough to clean house when they won elections, they wanted theirs as well. Congress continued to spend like drunken sailors with no thoughts of tomorrow or We the People because most were in on the money grab. Explain the massive fortunes these elected officials accumulated during their times in office any other way. Their operatives made out like bandits as well in high paying, fake government jobs which led to the radical blue area support in DC, northern VA, Maryland, Delaware, etc.

All of it proves we do not need to keep doing annual budgets in our status quo halls of Congress since they have been weaponized against We the People. It will remain that way to some degree until/if a balanced budget amendment is passed. Until then, I suggest we think outside the box and upset the Deep State apple carts permanently with the following.

Perpetual Budgeting

Sometimes known as a continuous budget in the spirit of our personal budget model discussed above; the perpetual budget provides for updating on a regular, usually monthly or quarterly, basis as well as when major plans and changes in budget are approved and implemented. In this case that latter point would happen as major legislation is passed that requires budget adjustment. As an example, when one month or quarter is completed another is added. There would be no requirement that a budget of that type be done only on an annual basis. It could be for two or four years as examples, if at all after the initial one is passed. There is no Constitutional requirement for an annual federal budget. That is an outgrowth of the House of Representatives being granted authority over the purse. It is a practice that is lawful, but without specific provision.

https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/101136/does-the-united-states-constitution-impose-an-obligation-on-congress-to-pass-a-b

For what it is worth, in my best Scott interrogation of Chat GPT, I took it down and made it apologize for saying there was a Constitutional requirement with its first response.

😂

To effect the change would mean legislative approval would be required to modify the process from the existing selected method of practice and procedure. Which is a timing issue for when a white hat GOP group of patriots gained control of Congress. When explained to American citizens it would become another 80/20 approval of the measure. The continuous haggling and posturing over budget matters would end. The fake news media would hate it and oppose. They might have to actually work as journalists to survive instead of the profiting from the Kabuki Theater we see today.

When used with a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) the perpetual budget would require significant proof, not faked estimates, of funds and revenue stream availability to justify any additional allocation or increase in appropriation as well as the increases in costs and expenses. There would need to be approval from Congress to make budget changes to ongoing appropriations and allocations That could potentially slow “progress” down, not a bad thing in some cases as it would slow the mischief of the Uniparty.

With the dynamics of our huge budget that has so many moving parts and the rapidly growing tariff revenues, the flexibility of continuous budgeting would put a headlock on the current and future political gridlock in Congress over CR’s and “annual” budget appropriations.

What some folks miss is that many programs and departments in the federal government have “end” (termination) dates that are forgotten or intentionally ignored. Instead they get continually renewed through CR’s and inattention. This keeps operatives employed and making mischief throughout the system to enrich the participants. In perpetual budgeting they are automatically ended unless extensions are approved in advance by Congress. We the People will know if we are provided transparent access to the financial workings of our nation, which is a goal of DOGE and U. S. DOGE Service.

It would also be an ideal weapon for PDT and future patriot Presidents to respond to opportunities throughout the globe as well as a deterrent for excessive spending by any elected officials. As an example, if American citizens got stupid and voted more criminals into power, the codifying of perpetual budgeting and the BBA would provide a good defense.

The operations of America, Inc. would take a more business as usual approach that would kill the Uniparty’s hellbent desire to spend other people’s money (ours) for personal and NGO gain. Political battles, holding payroll hostage and posturing in the media over CR’s would end as well. CR’s that have been a plague on our nation for 25+ years would have no reason to even exist.

Perpetual budgets would reduce the numbers of non-productive budget personnel in every area of government. With the new AI based operating system that is envisioned and being implemented there are less “hands” in the process as well as the till. The archaic always wrong, Demoncrap controlled CBO would be revamped to reflect current and proposed methods that actually work as well as using real time financial activity. Forecasting would become much more accurate and predictable, which would benefit all of us.

Our elected officials need to be more responsive to a rapidly changing, dangerous world while being much more responsive to We the People. The old ways and games they play need to come to an end. The Fed report I linked near the beginning is the type report and analysis they still do today. It is passé. PDT is trying to force the federal government and Federal Reserve into current times since what formerly was, is no more. Scott Bessent is being a hammer in Treasury and on the world stage. We do not need the old business as usual to throw a monkey wrench into The Golden Age. The unelected Fed would be completely removed from policy making, a goal of #47’s admin. Along with the proposed changes in the CBO, the Uniparty and Deep State would lose serious levers to their ages old political stranglehold on power and access to money to fund their devious schemes and activities.

I have provided a balanced look at Perpetual Budgeting in summary form in the link below for those who want to know more, while at the same time knowing that many readers will not do so. 😂 Perpetual budgeting does not have to be strict and narrow, it can be adapted to government accountability needs that make sense. Think practical and pragmatic, not political and corrupt. Think innovatively, not stuck in what seems to have always been. If 1913 taught us anything, the paradigms can be changed for good or for evil.

Dear KMAG: 20260330 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:

kalpis

noun

  • a water jar
  • a type of Ancient Greek water jug
  • a hydria having a rounded shoulder and a small back handle

Used in a sentence, or even a paragraph

The kalpis is a variant form of the more common hydria, a vessel used for carrying water. Often awarded as prizes in competitions and dedicated in sanctuaries, these valuable objects also served as cinerary urns and ballot boxes. Decorative appliqués or statuettes were usually cast separately and soldered or riveted to the exterior.

MUSIC!

I love this cover (thanks, Cthulhu!) of the old Queen song way too much! Not only do these harmonic gals remind me of the “sireens” in the Coen brothers movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” – they remind me of various young ladies I hung out with during my misspent youth. Happy, loud, and guaranteed to make my mother’s eye start twitching!

A toast to good-hearted floozies everywhere! Say a prayer for them! And for the boys who can’t resist their charms!

Can’t pass up the comparison!

floozy/floozie (Cambridge definition)
noun
a woman who has a lot of sexual relationships, or who wears clothes that attract sexual attention in a way that is too obvious

THE STUFF

From musical floozies to mathematical fairies, when AI’s psychotic bullshit starts rampaging through the interwebs like a bad kaiju, we’ve got you covered!

Chicks. Math. Music. History. Useful stuff. Wait – didn’t the Greeks have some deal about this?

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Trump admin. launches official WH app following series of cryptic social media posts

Following a series of cryptic social media teasers that sparked widespread speculation, the Trump administration officially launched the “White House App” on Friday.

The mobile platform is designed to bypass traditional media, offering citizens “unfiltered” access to live-streamed briefings, executive actions, and a direct messaging line to President Donald Trump.

Notably, the app also features a dedicated ICE Tip Line, allowing users to report immigration-related information directly to federal authorities.

“Live streams. Real-time updates. Straight from the source, no filter,” the White House promised from the app in its Friday announcement on X.

LAUNCHED: THE WHITE HOUSE APP Live streams. Real-time updates. Straight from the source, no filter. The conversation everyone’s watching is now at your fingertips.

Miss the ruckus on Friday?

THUNE, Must Be Shitcanned.

53 R-Con Senators.

  • Three, Thune, Eric Schmidt, AND Bernie Moreno, conspired against 50 R-Con Senators, Trump, The House AND ALL Americans.
  • >>> Cowardly Betrayal. <<<

100% Data Republican’s X below, worth reading every word.

Hello Senator Thune,

At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.

Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.

You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.

You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.

Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.

Let’s be precise about what you did:

1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.

2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.

3. You punted to reconciliation. “Good possibility,” you said. Not “we will.” Not “guaranteed.” Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year’s bill with no certainty of future funding.

The precedent you set:

You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.

But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:

• Voice vote to avoid accountability

• Empty chamber to avoid debate

• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny

• Immediate recess to avoid questions

You’ll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won’t bend them to win one.

What you’ve actually accomplished:

Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.

Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.

And you’re out here tweeting about how Democrats are the “Defund the Police” party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.

The question you should answer:

Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?

Why couldn’t it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?

You know why. Because you didn’t want your voters to see what surrender looks like.

Here’s my message: We saw it anyway.

Stop hiding behind “Democrat obstruction.” You’re the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.

Own it.

Burchette, amazingly calm outwardly. Likely seething inside.

WOW. Rep. Tim Burchett just ripped Senate leadership for even leaving SPEAKER JOHNSON in the dark on the DHS funding deal that omits ICE

So a SHADY deal was made behind closed doors. Now Speaker Johnson is rejecting it! “I’m a little ticked off.

I’m ticked off at the Senate leadership, how they’ve, them and the Democrats, have decided to thwart the agenda of our president!”

“Going home for two weeks, not addressing the SAVE America Act, which is of the utmost importance.”

“We need to get that in. You know, the House has a bill to fund DHS. Of course, we’ll secure the border and pay our TSA agents and fund the men and women who work to protect American citizens.”

“It’s pretty pathetic to go home at two o’clock in the morning, or vote at two o’clock in the morning, and kind of leave, well, not kind of, but really do leave the taxpayers high and dry in this great country!”

“And I don’t blame the rank-and-file members. They have no say-so in it. This is clearly a deal that’s cut.”

“Our Speaker of the House didn’t even know. They didn’t have the courtesy of making a phone call over there.”

“So it’s clear that they don’t want us in the majority. They want to, they want the status quo to continue. They apparently want to open the borders and continue not funding our TSA, because that’s the way their votes have shown.”

“So we’ll keep fighting. We’re still here!”

16yo Saves Four.

“God gave me strength, I couldn’t let them folks die”

16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi.

3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank.

Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls.

When asked where his bravery came from, he replied “God gave me strength, I couldn’t let them folks die.”

Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under.

Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl.

Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own.

He truly is a hero.

The FULL bodycam footage has been released – not the little IG clip that the mainstream media wanted to use to spin this into a police-bashing headline. And now the TRUTH is out: -Gets in a cop’s face calling him “B*tch” -Officer pushes back to protect himself -Woman kicks the cop between the legs -Criminal immediately plays the victim card REPOST and get the TRUTH out there!
