American Stories. (A series)

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

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

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

>>> Yup. Chiefio’s thoughts on Bitcoin and a video. Did not listen to the video. Guessing it’s Bitcoin centric.

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

This guy is a Hard Core Bitcoin Advocate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

>>> What Could Go Wrong?

Rainmaker seeks to refill depleted Great Salt Lake

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

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

Snow Brains says that

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

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

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

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

>>> About that Chinee / Japanese spat in the news a couple weeks ago…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BIRD BRAINED SCHEME

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump: South Africa to be excluded from 2026 G20 Summit

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

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

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

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

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

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

Please don’t tell me you’ve gone pro-Castro.

Stalin denial is as bad a look at Holocaust denial. Maybe worse!

Not saying these oligarchs are good guys. But the Castro regime – way worse, IMO.

Street scene, Havana. Arien Chang Castán

Actually I have not thought much about Cuba except for the Cuban mathematician I worked with, Baby Castro installed in British controlled Canada, and the CIA proposed False Flag using Cubans that probably got JFK killed.

One question is: Were the Brits involved with installing Castro?

Let’s start with the origin of communism.

I will go with Promethean Action’s take. You can trace it back to the British Empire/globalist cartel.

If you have not already read it: Their Satanic Majesties Roar. MAGA bites back.

…Richard Poe, among other researchers, identifies the hand behind these actions as the British, courtesy of MI6 and

GCHQ, who have all the skills. The British oligarchy, the City of London, in bed with their secret services, have been, he believes, for two centuries and counting seeding revolution and chaos in every country, in order to maintain their dominance of the financial markets. The British,

he says, created the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadi movement in order to profit off war and oil in the Mideast. All that money western nations send to the ME is harvested by the globalist gang. The Ukraine war, too, is yet another attempt of the British to destroy Russia, something they have been doing for centuries, and of course and always to loot America’s public funds. Little wonder “the Anglo-Saxon” is the term used to delineate evil in Russia. Yes, of course elements of the Jewish community are all in, and of course it is coordinated across all intelligence agencies most importantly, the CIA. But the British invented it. They are the GOAT….

From Richard Poe’s substack

How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed It on the Jews.)

The Untold Story of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, MI6, and the Russian Revolution

Greedy for power and Persian oil fields, King George V of England (right) plotted the overthrow of his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (left).

SUMMARY: Was the Bolshevik Revolution fake? Was Lenin’s 1917 coup little more than a “color revolution,” a staged event, orchestrated by foreign intelligence services? Strong evidence suggests that it was. In the 1920s, prominent Russian exiles accused Great Britain of plotting the Tsar’s downfall. George Buchanan, British ambassador to Russia from 1910 to 1918, devoted 16 pages of his 1923 memoir to denying this charge. But the charge was true. The British secret services had destabilized Russia, just as they had previously destabilized France in 1789. They had infiltrated and weaponized the Bolsheviks, just as they had previously weaponized the Jacobin movement against Louis XVI. While the Tsar was technically Britain’s ally in World War I, British elites feared that a victorious Russia would threaten Britain’s global dominance. Bolshevism provided the solution, demolishing the Tsar’s once-mighty empire, and plunging Russia into chaos and civil war. — RICHARD POE

“THIS MOVEMENT among the Jews is not new,” wrote Winston Churchill. “From the days of … Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation… has been steadily growing.”1

Churchill was talking about communism.

It was February 8, 1920. As Churchill wrote, all eyes were on Russia, where Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks— “Reds” and “Whites”—were battling for control of the country.

Before it was over, some 10 million people would die in the Russian Civil War, mostly civilians, and mostly from disease, famine, and mass atrocities on both sides. From this slaughter, the world’s first communist state would emerge.2

Churchill blamed it all on a “worldwide conspiracy” of Jews.

In a full-page article in London’s Illustrated Sunday Herald, Churchill wrote: “There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. … [T]he majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. … Litvinoff… Trotsky… Zinoviev… Radek—all Jews.”

Churchill declared that the subversive role of “Jewish revolutionaries… in proportion to their number in the population” was “astonishing,” not only in Russia, but throughout Europe…

It is a long read but worth it. This is his book.

Cuba after Castro: royal visit to Havana reflects important shift in UK Policy

From Winston Churchill to the Rolling Stones, Cuba has hosted its fair share of famous Britons over the years. But the first official royal visit by the Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall in 2019 heralds an important shift in Her Majesty’s Government’s longstanding policy towards the island.

Until recently, little had changed since 1898, when the US intervened to end Spanish colonial rule in Cuba and Britain largely surrendered to growing US dominance in the Caribbean sphere. But Britain’s soft power play today indicates an alignment with Barack Obama’s 2014 diplomatic re-engagement with the island, rather than Donald Trump’s rolling back of this initiative. Obama judged the 54-year-long US trade blockade a failure, and ordered the unfreezing of Cold War-era policy….

With other Western countries exploiting economic openings in Cuba – and Britain keen to compete with them more openly – does only Trump’s administration stand in the way?…

That article points to this book.

WHERE ARE ALL THE FUNDS TO OVER THROW GOVERNMENTS COMING FROM??

Support from Venezuela

Venezuela is the largest trading partner to Cuba and is widely considered to be systemically important to the Cuban economy.[112][113] Since the 1990s, the two nations have shared a close relationship and have maintained strong economic collaboration.[114][115] Initial trading was centered on exchanging Venezuelan oil for visiting Cuban doctors in a form of medical diplomacy.[116][117] Venezuelan investors are the only foreign investor allowed to hold 100% ownership in businesses, with all other foreign investors requiring joint investment with Cuba. According to Carmelo Mesa-Lago, a Cuban-born U.S. economist, in nominal terms, the Venezuelan subsidy is higher than the subsidy which the Soviet Union gave to Cuba.[113] In 2012, Venezuela accounted for 20.8% of Cuba’s GDP, while Cuba only accounted for roughly 4% of Venezuela’s.[118] The Venezuelan economy has been in complete collapse since 2010, hampering its ability to support Cuba.[119][120]

Support from the Soviet Union, Russia and China are also detailed. Cuba is the dark blue line.

CIA’s HISTORY Of Smuggling Drugs Into U.S. From Venezuela!

GUATEMALA, UNITED FRUIT & THE CIA

Inside Operation PBSuccess, When The CIA And A Banana Company Destroyed Guatemalan Democracy

In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s corruption.

Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the United Fruit Company — now known as Chiquita Brands International — controlled vast swaths of Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic exploitation.

But in the 1940s, a democratic revolution and calls for justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the White House — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous Communist administration in the process…

John Foster Dulles and Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955.

United Fruit couldn’t sit by and wait. It needed the support of the American government to stop Arbenz.

This was the 1950s — the early years of the Cold War — and so United Fruit began a strategy that framed Guatemala as a Communist foe in the U.S. press.

Their mission was helped by the company’s connections. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was a former lawyer for United Fruit. His brother Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA, was formerly on United Fruit’s Board of Directors. And the company’s PR Executive, Ed Whitman, was married to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personal secretary, Ann Whitman.

United Fruit didn’t need to push hard. Eisenhower was eager to show the world his anti-Communist credentials. Under Eisenhower’s orders, the CIA began crafting Operation PBSuccess in August 1953…

To achieve this goal, the CIA recruited a disgruntled ex-Arbenz military officer named Carlos Castillo Armas. Armas rallied anti-government sentiment and pieced together an army of a few hundred men, supplied and supported with U.S. equipment and intelligence under Operation PBSuccess.

On June 18, 1954, Armas and his men attacked with the help of logistical support from the U.S. The CIA began by launching a propaganda campaign, warning the Guatemalan public and Arbenz that a major invasion was underway, setting up a clandestine radio station that jammed Guatemalan signals and flooded the airwaves with greatly exaggerated messages.

…The CIA’s psychological warfare succeeded. Panic overtook the capital and Arbenz’s supporters began losing faith. And when he attempted to raise his own militia, only a few hundred civilians showed up.

On June 27, 1954, just nine days later, Arbenz resigned. He sought asylum at the Mexican embassy and later fled the country….

Premier Fidel Castro’s sister, Juana, who defected to Mexico on June 20, had been in contact with Central In-telligence Agency operatives for nearly four year*, the Herald Tribune learned yesterday.

And , Premier Castro’s brother, Raul, his trusted No. 2 man as War Minister in the Communist regime, protected Juana from the bearded dictator’s wrath [for . all that tie and then.] paved the way for her flight to Mexico City while Premier Castro , was ~ away from Havana.

In Havana on Wednesday, night Premier Castro told newsmen that Juana’s deection was indeed. ‘a blow. “This incident to me personally is very bitter and profoundly painful. But I understand this is the price of being a revolutionary.”

Highly ‘placed intelligence sources here yesterday confirmed that she had been instrumental in spiriting at least 200 Cubans out…

How Eddie Bernays, the United Fruit Company, and the CIA overthrew the Guatemalan Government

Excerpt from Adam Curtis’ BBC documentary, “Century of Self,” detailing Eddie Bernays’ influence in helping United Fruit and the CIA overthrow the democratically elected leader of Guatemala.

IMPORTANT EXCERPTS FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

… influence of the Freud family in America was about to grow even more politicians were about to turn to Anna Freud cousin Edward Bernays for help in a time of crisis he was going to manipulate the inner feelings and fears of the masses to help America’s politicians fight the Cold War….

…at this point Edward Bernays was living in New York in the 1920s he had invented the profession of public relations and was now one of the most powerful PR men in America he worked for most of the major corporations and advised politicians including President Eisenhower like his uncle Sigmund Bernays was convinced that human beings were driven by irrational forces the only way to deal with the public was to connect with their unconscious desires and affairs Bernays argued that instead of trying to reduce people’s fear of communism one should actually encourage and manipulate the fear but in such a way as it became a weapon in the Cold War rational argument was fruitless what my father understood about groups is that they are manipulandum arable and that that you can tap into their deepest desires or their deepest fears and use up to your own purposes I don’t think you felt that all those public’s out there had reliable judgment that they very easily might vote for the wrong man or want the wrong thing so that they had to be guided from above one of the bonuses main clients was the giant United Fruit Company they owned vast banana plantations in Guatemala in Central America…

…taking United Fruit again as a commercial client out of the picture and making it look like a question of American democracy American values being threatened in reality árbenz was a Democratic Socialist with no links to Moscow but Bernays set out to turn him into a communist threat to America..

…with the United Fruit Company the CIA trained and armed rebel army and found a new leader for the country called Colonel Armas the CIA agent in charge was Howard hunt later one of the Watergate burglars what we wanted to do was have a terror campaign to terrify our beds particularly terrify his troops …just rendered everybody paralyzed as planes flown by CIA pilots dropped bombs on Guatemala City Edward Bernays carried on his propaganda campaign in the American press he was preparing the American population to see this as the liberation of Guatemala by freedom fighters for democracy

He totally understood that the coup would happen when the public and the press, when conditions in the public & in the press allowed for [it] to happen And he created those conditions He was totally savvy in terms of just what he was helping create there, in terms of this overthrow but ultimately he was reshaping reality reshaping public opinion in a way that’s undemocratic and manipulative. On June 27th 1954 Colonel Arbenz fled the country and Armas arrived as the new leader within months Vice President Nixon visited Guatemala in an event staged by United fruits PR department it was shown piles of Marxist literature that had been found it was said in the presidential palace.… [FBI photos of classified docs at Mar-a-logo anyone? – GC]

British Empire’s Psy-War Against MAGA: How They’re Trying to Stop Trump’s Peace

“In this episode, Barbara Boyd discusses President Trump’s peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war and its monumental implications. The proposed plan may lead to the end of the British Financial Empire and spark a new human Renaissance.

Trump’s realist approach centers on acknowledging ground realities and working toward Ukrainian sovereignty and rebuilding. The script also highlights Trump’s criticism of the Washington status quo and the psychological warfare against MAGA supporters. Vice President Vance’s insights on MAGA’s challenges and the economic strategies are also examined. Boyd delves into the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the peace plan, including infrastructural projects like the Bering Strait Tunnel and the potential collapse of NATO. ”

2025.11.25 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 31

I lead today’s thread with a question, followed by others that are related.

Would you be hard line or reconciliatory with those who worked or fought against you and the colonists in the quest for independence, freedom and liberty? We have seen many examples of each with our Declaration signers. All of it led to differing results, historical significance, and sometimes interesting or unexpected conclusions to their lives.

I ask because we are in a similar war today. It is just as messy as it was then. The enemy has used deception, lies, terrorism, censorship and criminality of every sort instead of frontal, declared war tactics. But it has still been war. Foreign powers have been deeply involved as they were back then. Greed and seeking power has driven much of it just as it has with all wars. The tools that have been utilized against patriots today are somewhat different, but just as effective.

So when, not if, America First MAGA patriots win the current war – will you be reconciliatory toward the past enemy combatants or adamant in their receiving punishment and banishment from society? Which approach do you think #47 and other patriot leaders that follow him will take? What does our founding documents and the law say? What does the overriding will of God found in the Holy Bible say?

For the early Americans it even translated into taking sides using political parties. And here we are some 250 years later still bickering and abusing the American Way through political parties.

Ponder The Future Of America

The patriots of our past were innovative, creative, focused and dedicated. Life was harder then, many did not make it to age 60. So many children and mothers died young. Knowing this they made their days count, unlike many today who pass through their time living in fantasy worlds or shackled with drugs and perversions of the soul. It is a world filled with so much hate, so much stupidity, so much whining, so many petty grievances and making mountains out of molehills for personal gain and power.

VSGPOTUS Trump is working unbelievably hard and having a great time doing it while knowing at any moment there could be a bullet to the back of his head. He can do that because he knows his number of days in this world is in the hands of the Master. Do we have the same understanding in our own? If not, why not? It may be keeping us from fulfilling our God given mission.

Those who know the real me, know that I am a diehard University of Tennessee Vol sports supporter. So forgive me if you need to as I bring you a recent quote from the new head coach of the baseball Vols, Josh Elander, who has replaced who many believe has been the best of all recent college baseball coaches, Tony Vitello. Tony accepted the challenge of being the first college head coach in history without any professional baseball experience to jump from college head coach to manager of a major league team, the San Francisco Giants. His replacement at Tennessee had worked for Tony since their previous stop together at Arkansas, some nine years ago. With other coaches, staff and the administration they built an elite program together from bottom feeder status. Josh turned down several lucrative offers to go somewhere else over the past few years to continue building the Vol program.

Despite having very different personalities, Tony and Josh share a common trait. Josh’s quote from his introductory press conference follows. You may catch a reference to someone from a past BIMD story.

“Nine years ago, I got this job (as an assistant),” said Elander. “Tony called and I went on the road basically immediately. I never went back to the place that I rented in Arkansas. [I was] running around recruiting, doing a bunch of deals.

But when I got here finally for our first visit, we were running a kid around, and there was a welcome packet on my desk. It had a bunch of different things. But the main thing I took out of that, I just took some scissors and cut it out. It was a quote from Pat Summitt. It’s been hanging in my office for nine years — and it ain’t going anywhere. That quote is, ‘Here’s how I’m going to beat you. I’m going to outwork you. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

We knew Pat. We went to church together for decades. We had other occasions to visit with each other. Pat did what POTUS Trump is doing now, just in her expertise of women’s basketball. She became the face of the sport worldwide. As a result, she improved life for millions of young women over the years that have followed because what she did transferred into every women’s sport at every level as well as life in general. Her next challenge was revealing to the world that she had early onset dementia at the height of her HOF coaching career. This led to her opening up even more of her life and allowing the world in to experience it with her as she set up a foundation for Alzheimer’s treatment and research. She left this world far too soon, but the world was much better for her having been here.

Before she passed away, all of her work and dedication ended up translating into recognition around the world with her receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Hussein, one of the few things he did honorably. All of it happened because a rural west Tennessee country farm girl loved playing basketball and was willing to out work everybody else as she lived her dream. Tony Vitello and Josh Elander have benefitted from that same Pat approach in their occupations as well. It is a common thread with most people who make a real difference no matter the world’s perceived importance of one’s position in life.

The secret sauce is to have vision and outwork your opposition, whoever and whatever it may be, while thinking outside the box.

Take the blinds off and let your mind run wild with the possibilities that may make a difference in some way, big or small. It is just like the patriots did when the hostilities with the Brits ended 248 years ago. If the hostilities ended…oh wait…could that be another challenge left on the board?

As a current day MAGA patriot what are you doing or going to do with the secret sauce?

The focus now shifts to two little discussed New Jersey signers. Don’t ask me why many historians have slid right by these two.

Abraham Clark

Born in 1726 in Elizabethtown, NJ (now Elizabeth, NJ) to Thomas and Hannah (Winans) Clark as an only child, Abraham Clark was the third generation to reside there on both sides of his family. Both families were prominently involved in the area with over 150 Winans family members buried in the cemetery adjacent to First Presbyterian Church, where they were members. He was educated via tutor in surveying after his father realized he was very good at math. While working as a surveyor he studied law and opened a practice that focused on assisting poor clients. In 1749 he married Sarah Hatfield and they had ten children over the years that followed. While Sarah raised the children on their farm, he entered politics and became a clerk of the Provincial Assembly. He continued clerking for the assembly instead of military service due to his frail physical condition. Later he became the High Sheriff of Essex County and was elected to the Provincial Congress in 1775 as well as serving on the Committee of Public Safety.

New Jersey replaced their representatives to the Continental Congress in early 1776 as the existing reps were opposed to independence. Due to Clark’s strong support for it, he was named as one of the five replacements in June. As they voted in July, he wrote in a letter that, “”It is gone so far, that we must now be a free independent State, or a conquered country.” He followed that statement later with, “”We can die here but once. Nothing short of the Almighty Power of God can save us.”

He worked to provide supplies to Gen. Washington throughout his time in Congress and during the war. He was notified that his two oldest sons who served in the enlisted military had been captured and were incarcerated in horrible conditions on the prison ship, HMS Jersey. He refused to let others in government know so they would not be given deference over other prisoners. When leadership discovered it they made arrangements to reciprocate better treatment to a handful of captured Brits to assist the Clark situations until their release in a prisoner exchange.

He returned to Congress for two additional, multi-year periods. He was a strong proponent for the common man, the farmers and mechanics in particular. This placed him at odds with those founders who urged deference to public officials. He refused to wear a wig or ruffles on his sleeves as he hated elitism and pretense. He wanted regular citizens to stay involved and let their elected officials know what they wanted done. He pushed a pro-debtor paper money bill through the state legislature in 1788. He ran for U. S. Senate and lost, but followed in 1791 for a U. S. House of Representative seat and won. He was a Whig and had a deep desire to secure personal liberties for citizens. He saw that centralized authority could lead to tyranny.

Clark passed away in 1794 from a sunstroke on his property and is buried in Rahway, NJ. It is said that he became ill, but refused to seek help at home until he took another person who had been working with him home first. His wife, Sarah, passed away ten years later and is buried next to her husband. What a patriot, what a principled man!

Francis Hopkinson

Francis Hopkinson was born in Philadelphia to Thomas and Mary Johnson Hopkinson in 1737. His father died when he was 14, however, his mother directed him to attend the College of Philadelphia (Penn), where he graduated in its first class with a BA degree while earning a MA degree three years later. Before his death his father was instrumental in the chartering of the college and worked with B to get it done. Hopkinson studied and apprenticed in the law under the colony’s AG and was admitted to the Bar a year later in 1761.

He immediately began work as Secretary to the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania Indian Affairs. He worked on numerous treaties during the period. He was not nearly as successful in his law practice and failed at a business venture, so he accepted a position as a Customs Collector in Salem, NJ. Hoping to make more money, he boarded a ship for England in 1766 in an attempt to gain a position as Customs Commissioner for North America, but was also unsuccessful with that despite learning a great deal more about the system. While there he began taking painting lessons under Benjamin West, the American born painter who founded the Royal Academy in England and painted for King George III. Francis returned to the colonies a year later in 1767.

His personal interests were diverse in that he was involved in writing, painting, music, design, politics and the law. He played the harpsichord and the organ. He composed published music of his own as well as copying arias, songs and instrumentals of other famous composers. By 1768 he had met and married Ann Borden, daughter of famous patriot Colonel Joseph Borden and wife, Elizabeth Rogers Borden of Bordentown, NJ. They had nine children together, four of whom died as young children with the rest marrying and having children.

Hopkinson returned to the role of Customs Collector in New Castle, Delaware in 1772. The couple moved to Bordentown two years later and he entered politics as a an Assemblyman in the state’s Provincial Council. He was admitted to the NJ Bar in 1775, resigned all of his British related positions, and was elected as a Delegate to represent NJ in the Second Continental Congress. He voted for independence and became a signer a month later. He left his role in Congress a few months later to return to his law practice and to serve on the Navy Board in Philadelphia. The British attacked areas of NJ during this period and their home was ransacked, however, they were not home at the time and were unharmed.

In 1778 he served as Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office and was later appointed to the Admiralty Court of Pennsylvania for periods from 1779 through 1787. He participated in the development and pushed for the Articles of Confederation as well as later, the Constitution in multiple states. In return for his tireless efforts after George Washington’s Presidential inauguration he was appointed to be U. S .District Court Judge for eastern PA in 1789.

He was long noted for his music, writing and artistic works. He also designed flags as well as seals, many of which were either used or provided as input for the final products chosen by federal entities. He continued to serve in his occupation and community roles until his death in 1791 at age 53 from stroke complications. He is buried in the churchyard of Christ Church in Philadelphia. Ann passed away many years later in 1827 at age 80. She is buried in her native Bordentown.

We are grateful for all of his patriotic and artistic contributions.

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.

This Thanksgiving holiday weekend, remember the early American settlers and the patriots who followed that led to America’s existence as the greatest nation on earth. Thank the Lord that He saw fit to permit this great experiment in liberty and freedom to be conducted in His creation. Then go have some fun and love on your families and friends in celebration!

YUM!

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Dear KMAG: 20251124 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:

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
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 backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar

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:

phengophobia

noun

fear of daylight
fear of the sun, or of sunlight

Used in a sentence

I was unsure if the “g” in phengophobia is voiced as phen-go-phobia rather than pheng-o-phobia.

Shown in a picture

After this video, you may have fear of Sunlight, too!

MUSIC!

A surprisingly enjoyable song – and probably not AI.

THE STUFF

Watching Democrats side with cartels and drug traffickers is quite instructive.

Just read this Wikipedia coverage (clearly sympathetic with the Democrats, the cartels, and the drug traffickers) to get an idea how bad these people are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_military_strikes_on_alleged_drug_traffickers

Dear MAGA: 20251120 ✾ 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.

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.

(2) More Titan submersible “doom porn” – this time with an annoying Indian American smart girl twist that manages to (at the end) badly attack Elon Musk for MDS attagrlz. Nevertheless, the Titan data is good, and worth the watch time.

(3) A different kind of doom porn – about “backwards life” – that is worth watching and thinking about – especially about why this particular take is probably WRONG. There are not only theological reasons – the scientific reasons are significant.

My bottom line – “loss of function” research is still possible, useful, and will almost certainly show that “nature” (COUGH) got there already. Nonetheless, a good warning, and I agree that no form of highly divergent “synthetic life” should be created, now or in the foreseeable future. Call it “due diligence”!

2025.11.18 Daily Thread – American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 30

First, a short update on Bud is in order. Robotic resection surgery on 10/6 to remove 10″ of his colon that had turned to nearly concrete to starting back to work a little more than two weeks later with all systems go other than heaving lifting restriction. His surgeon found his recovery remarkable. Knowing that prayer warriors had been called in to do battle, Bud was not surprised and is very grateful to the Lord and all who offered prayers on his behalf. Thank you, QTree.

Let’s go with some ground report observations from the lowcountry during our fall frolic.

Less hispanic peoples were present, probably due to ICE presence. Per the locals, those from that background who were still there are probably legal; either on worker visas or citizens. I had my doubts with some as they acted evasive, albeit a MUCH smaller number than in the past. ICE has been busy in the lowcountry and moved more of their efforts further south recently. Like other places, no overcrowding in local schools now. If they register for school their parents and guardians are checked out.

Local crime is WAY down. Imagine that. Who da thunk exiting illegals along with a more visible law enforcement presence could have changed life that dramatically that fast? Well, actually, all of us real Americans. Add in taking out the trade routes of the cartels and things seemed, well, nice. Could it be that those 1000+ police departments and sheriff’s offices that have signed or intend to sign the agreement to be authorized to perform ICE duties are also interested in doing the other aspects of their jobs well? Sure appears that way. Inquiring minds only need to check to see if the local law enforcement agencies in their home areas have executed the agreement to know where things stand. If not, why not? You know the enemy by simply observing. Do not be deceived – they always self identify.

Overall, people were more friendly again. It even FELT safer to be out and about. The PDT effect is special. 👍

No masks. None. Even with COVID and flu around.

The No Kings rally was non-existent around there and a leftist boomer snoozefest in other lowcountry areas such as Savannah and Charleston. They might as well have been palmetto trees for all normal people cared. The local media tried ginning up interest with no takers apparently. The following day they never even mentioned it.

Staffing was down in restaurants and retail establishments, however, those who were there from all backgrounds and cultures were good and efficient everywhere we went. Food quality was off the charts good. The menu prices were actually down from last fall. Managers visited tables, asked about the meals, and thanked people for coming in; which was a nice turn of events. With no taxes on tips, the 5% discount option for paying bills in cash that had been available had gone away. Good servers can now make a living at the occupation regardless of tips in cash or on a credit card due to the tax law changes. Farm to table has been growing and was big around there due to the longer agricultural seasons as well as minimal storm disruptions for the seafood. It is all really working well now. Waygu beef grown on southeastern/midwestern farms is on many of the menus.

Triple tail, redfish, flounder, red snapper, sheepshead, grouper, swordfish and mahi were the orders of the day along with the Carolina shrimp, oysters and blue crab. The month of November kicked off a number of oyster fest events throughout the lowcountry.

Starting to see some development projects again, primarily residential. Commercial real estate development and occupancy was still soft. Some vacant storefronts, a number of which have been empty for a year or longer. Some of that is related to the increase in web shopping. Overall these long term vacancies will bring rental rates down.

Grocery prices were down from the past couple of years. Two dozen large eggs were $4.40 approx at Sam’s (now under $4). A lot of product price reductions and sales on aisles at Walmart, Krogers and Publix. Fuel was around $2.60 – 2.85 per gallon.

Drivers were stupid bad on the interstates and highways around there. Many had death wishes for themselves and others. Many more wrecks than in the past. Probably the effects of the jabs is part of it. However, the volume of local traffic was a lot less than previous years after the fall break kids and their families went home. At times it became so light that we thought we went back to the future.

Mild and temperate again for that time of year, which made beach conditions ideal. By comparison it had become very hot over the past couple of decades. Somehow most of the Atlantic storms miraculously turned northeast into the middle of the Atlantic this season. It’s a miracle!

😀

Our lodging had the pleasure of being beside a lowcountry thicket that ushered deer past our windows most mornings and evenings. Momma deer and I had several rendezvous in the mornings as I ventured out to our vehicle or returned to the villa. She seemed unconcerned with my presence even with her babies nearby. Then there was the young alligator who wandered from a pond to within about ten feet of Daughter and family on its way into another thicket at one of the miniature golf establishments. The grandsons loved it. Their Mom and Dad were not quite as enthralled.

Time to finish the SC signers.

Arthur Middleton

Our last signer from South Carolina was born in Charleston in 1742. Arthur Middleton was born and bred as a proper Englishman to parents Henry Middleton and Mary Baker Williams. The family members were wealthy owners of a large homestead along with 19 other plantations totaling over 50,000 acres with over 800 slaves. As time passed Henry embraced independence due to British taxation policies. Beginning in 1770 he increased his participation in the independence movement, resigning British appointments, and rose to President of the First Continental Congress. With his health worsening after a year of service he resigned in favor of his son’s participation, so that he could return to SC and live out his remaining years there.

Arthur was educated by tutors in Charleston until he was sent at age twelve to Great Britain to attend Harrow, Westminster, and Trinity Hall. He studied law at Middle Temple and traveled Europe afterwards enjoying the arts, music and literature. He returned and married Mary Izard in 1764. They settled into Middleton Place plantation outside of Charleston, SC where generations of Middletons lived. They had five children over the years.

Arthur was a more hard line independence minded person than his father. He became a leader of the American Party in the state and one of its strongest advocates for independence. He served on the Council of Safety and its Secret Committee. In 1776 he replaced his father as a member of the Second Continental Congress. He subsequently became a signer of the Declaration.

He and William Drayton designed the Great Seal of South Carolina. Although a loving and kind person with family and friends, he earned a reputation of being ruthless toward loyalists in direct opposition with fellow signer Francis Merion, who urged reconciliation after the war. Since Middleton served in battle at Charleston and was captured along with Thomas Heyward and Edward Rutledge, he probably had good reasons to feel that way. He was freed in an exchange of prisoners along with the other two. Per his Descendants site, Benjamin Rush described Arthur Middleton “as a man of cynical temper but upright intentions towards his country.”

Arthur chose to return to private life once victory was assured and he went back to Middleton Place, which had been devastated by the British during the war. He declined a return to Congress to focus on the homestead and plantation’s restoration. He did serve in the state legislature and as a trustee for Charleston College. He did not last long after that, passing away in 1787 at age 44. He is buried there in the Middleton Place Gardens & Tomb along with his wife, who passed away many years later in 1814 at age 66.

If you enjoy that sort of thing, you owe it to yourself to visit this National Historic Landmark. It is an American jewel.

Arthur was the son of a famous, respected patriot in an aristocratic family. He came from extreme wealth and privilege. It did not matter. He advocated for independence even more strongly than his father, served his fellow colonists, and put his life on the line in battle. During the war he endured prison and found the family’s wealth and properties ravaged by the British at its end. Instead of regret and wallowing in pity, he set about the rebuild and restoration. At his life’s early end after having suffered from fevers for the better part of a decade, he had accomplished his goal while still serving the citizens of SC in the legislature. We pay homage to his dedication to America and the cause of independence.

Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Dear KMAG: 20251117 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

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

THE STUFF

I had an epiphany watching the following video.

See if I can help you see it, too.

The problem with evolution is that it’s like quantum mechanics. Despite being powerful, explanatory and extremely predictive, it is both “incomplete” and has “interpretations”.

The interpretations carry baggage designed to shape worldview beyond what the science itself can say. And they also influence what the science can say easily, and what it has to say with more difficulty.

When Veritasium Dude (Derek Muller) sighs and gives in to Dawkins’ “selfish gene” idea, he is really giving in to an interpretation. That interpretation, like any interpretation in quantum mechanics, highlights some aspects of the science more than others. I can formulate the exact same science – even the same math – as the “sharing/shared gene” interpretation. Or, to name it a bit more objectively, the network interpretation of evolution.

The fact is, Dawkins formulated evolution in a way – an interpretation – that would best sell his bias toward his own atheistic assumptions about the universe. He asserts that every gene number “n” in a larger population “m” is composed of a bunch of selfish “1”s. I can likewise assert that “n” is a metric of collaborative, shared success within “m”, orienting its unit members not only toward their own shared success, but also toward the goal of influencing larger system success, struggling toward the unity of perceiving and becoming one with the creative intelligence. And it’s the same math.

It’s an interpretation.

Dawkins knows that humans tend to see the gene as microscopic and less than the individual – but it’s just as valid to see the gene as a topological connection – a filament uniting individuals, not just through gene space, but through function space. I would allege that this alternative network interpretation shows more, deeper, and larger subtleties of evolution, including causation, anthropological history, and gradients in the development of intelligence.

The individualization of the gene is an excellent and useful approximation, but one that hides some of the gene’s most fascinating potentials, as a shared entity.

And as explained in the video, it all boils down to the mathematics…..created IN THE BEGINNING.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

D.C. Appeals Court STRIKES DOWN Trump DOT’s Safety Rules — Allows Immigrants to Obtain Commercial Licenses Again Despite Fatal Florida Truck Crash

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s emergency safety rule, a rule designed to keep America’s highways safe from unvetted foreign drivers.

The court sided not with public safety, not with the families of crash victims, but with activist groups, blue-city governments, and unions who argued that asylum seekers, refugees, and DACA recipients should continue holding commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) despite major questions about identity verification, training standards, and foreign driving histories.

Congressional hemp restrictions threaten $28 billion industry, sending companies scrambling

The congressional funding bill included a THC cap that effectively bans most hemp products, a move industry leaders say threatens the $28 billion market.
More than 300,000 jobs are at risk, with economic impacts expected in states with large hemp sectors, including Kentucky, Texas and Utah, industry experts said.
Executives warn the ban could fuel a surge in black-market sales if federal regulations aren’t adopted within a year, as demand for hemp-derived THC remains strong.

BREAKING: In Stunning Development, President Trump Withdraws His Support and Endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

President Trump on Friday evening announced he is withdrawing his support for GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump said he is tired of Marjorie Taylor Greene complaining despite him creating record achievements for the country.

“Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” Trump said.

I just visited a shop class in Great Falls, Montana where high school students are building houses for people who need a place to call home.

Let that sink in for a moment.

High schoolers in Great Falls Montana, under the guidance of an excellent shop instructor and lots of community support, are building actual houses. Not birdhouses or doll houses – real homes, built to code from the ground up for real people, and move-in ready.

Yesterday, I toured the latest home these kids are in the process of building. It’s the 48th such home built since 1998, through this remarkable program. While I was there, I ran into @GregForMontana. Like me, the Governor was blown away by what these kids were doing and took the time to talk to each one of them, thanking them for their hard work and congratulating them for what they’d accomplished. I was then invited to join the Governor on stage at Great Falls High, where I answered a few questions about mikeroweWORKS, talked about the many opportunities in the skilled trades, and discussed the ways we might be able to encourage more projects like this one, in Montana and beyond.

It’s encouraging to see public/private partnerships done right. And really, it’s not that complicated; it just takes a few stubborn people in various organizations who won’t take no for an answer. In this case, too many to name, but a quick shout out to Pete Pace, the shop teacher at the center of High School Homes, the administrators in the school district, the principal at Great Falls High, Sherrie Arey and her devoted crew at @neighborworks, the incredibly generous executives at @WellsFargowho offered another round of financial support, and a Governor with the good sense to push through the normal bureaucratic nonsense that kills programs like this. Bravo to all!

Mike

PS. This is the third time in two months I’ve seen a program like this in action. The first was in Western North Carolina, (Rebuilding the Hollars), the second was in New Orleans, (@uCCNOLA.) The projects all have one thing in common – a shop class with an exceptional instructor. Like I said, it takes support from every direction, but a high school shop class is always where it starts.

For years, I’ve argued that removing shop class from high schools was a mistake that would deny a whole generation of students’ critical exposure to a long list of essential careers and rob them of an opportunity to prepare for the all-important apprenticeships on which most skilled careers are built. Today, standing in the shop class at Great Falls, watching dozens of engaged students cutting, hammering, measuring, and fabricating, it occurred to me that I was wrong. Taking shop class out of high school was not merely a mistake – it was the single dumbest decision in the history of modern education. We didn’t just rob a whole generation of students, we robbed ourselves, in a colossal, self-inflicted wound that’s led directly to a host of unintended consequences – including the current shortages in every essential skilled trade.

Correcting it, should be at or near the top of every Governor’s agenda in every single state. Because tomorrow’s skilled workforce is currently in the 8th grade, and if we don’t meet these kids where they are – right now – with programs like this, we’re in for a world of hurt.
