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!

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.)

Fresh Thursday Trinkets! Come and GET ‘EM!
(1) Remember the Titan? More reality about the supposed “recovery of presumed remains” from the Merry Mortician.
(2) OK, after that, a little comedy is in order. Especially for you Gen X folks!
(3) Do you remember how Steve explained atoms, where electrons “orbited” the nucleus in “orbitals” that weren’t really like planetary orbits, but rather more like something else?
Here is a very intuitive, and very non-mathematical explanation of “something else” – by that guy who likes to understand these things at a gut level.
HINT/TLDR: Take a vibrating string, distort it into three dimensions, where one end becomes a point at the center, and the other end becomes infinity in all directions. Interesting things happen, but they make sense.
(4) Wanna see something enjoyable? Watch Ilhan Omar and Margaret Brennan mutually annihilate after Scott Bessent drops delayed-action bombs on Brennan’s show!
(5) Remember how Hussein the Disastrous, a.k.a. “Globama”, had his “Furies” – Susan Rice, Avril Haines, and Lisa Monaco – who caused all sorts of wicked trouble in this world? Here is the real story on the Fates and the Furies of Greek mythology.
Speaking of Avril, that month is now well underway. Have a great weekend!
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.
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.
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.
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.
For what it is worth, if you are unaware of him, brandonjamal is brutally honest with a potty mouth.
This one is potty mouth truth telling.

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.

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!

(1) Big flying dinosaurs. Pretty much a flying motorcycle in weight. They keep finding bigger ones! Yeah, this is AI slop, but it’s informative.
Here’s some AI drama based on it (fortunately shorter).
(2) So are the “Black Irish” (the ones in Ireland, on the West coast) really a thing? And if so, why do they exist? This is about what the DNA seems to say.
(3) Fake Entertainment has a full menu of propaganda and predictive programming dressed up as “science fiction”. Are you ready to review the enemy attacks in order to understand what the phony messages are? Here you go – 25 of them in 2026. Or just skip it all, if you don’t want to be exposed to the propaganda.
(4) Sometimes the whole “fusion energy” thing seems somewhat unrealistic – especially with the large installations and years of experimentation needed for conventional neutronic fusion reactions. But there is another possibility.
In contrast, the aneutronic hydrogen-boron (P-11B and D-10B) fusion reactions, which are being pursued by TAE (the partners of Trump’s media company) are moving steadily toward reality. In my opinion, it’s becoming a bit of a “Wright brothers” scenario.
Enjoy this video of a research report from a different company pursuing the technology. This is what real science looks like.
(5) The following problem sure seems a lot like another problem involving our choice of the “cash grab of the world” vs. the “mystery box of heaven”! Enjoy another episode of Veritasium!

Blessed Assurance
(Verse) Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
(Chorus) This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
(Verse) Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Chorus) This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
(Verse) Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
(Chorus) This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
Today is another slice of real life events with those connected to this guy.
Other than Iran, the subject of ICE and law enforcement recently has ruled the thoughts of many. So, let’s make this a “thank your local and federal boots on the ground law officers” day. Seriously, when you see them out and about, thank them. Buy their coffee or lunch at the local fast food or c-store if so inclined. They do work many people would never do. For most, it is a true calling. Of course there are bad apples in every endeavor. Focus on the overall good and what they mean for a civil and safe society. The vast majority are good people trying to do their jobs well – to protect and serve.
The scripture today is from Romans 13:1 ,
“Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.”
Yes, that means to do so if not in conflict with His Word even if the authorities are criminals as we just went through here in America. Their deeds are seen by the Lord and will be avenged through His actions and authorities who replace them in His time and His way.
Any doubts that God raised up Donald J. Trump for these times?
A Dose Of The Real World
Today, I discuss an illegal invaders situation faced by ICE and law enforcement agencies of various types nationwide daily. Subject: Taking down land based drug trafficking. PDT has brought up that sea routes are largely under control, that land routes were underway. It is also a major reason why the border had to be secured first.
A real life example follows.
A neighbor friend of a close family member located in our same county found a large shipped package in her driveway in a residential subdivision in early February. She could not move her car around it to go to work. She called and asked our family member what to do. She told her to call the carrier. The neighbor said there was nothing on the package to indicate who the shipper was. Our family member asked the address on the package. It was a different address located near downtown; just had the same address number and the street name started with the same first letter. They assumed a delivery mistake, so the family member called FedEx and Amazon for the neighbor. They said no deliveries were made in the area or to either address. She then searched online for the package’s address, looked up the business located there and called. She asked if they were expecting a package, that it came to the neighbor’s house and had their address on it. A hispanic guy in broken English answered and said they were not. Meanwhile, the husband of our family member went to the neighbor’s house and worked her car around the package using the yard. The neighbor left for work and told the family member she would try to call other carriers including the post office. If nothing, she would call the police.
Later that morning while the neighbor was at work and before she thought to call the police, somebody came and retrieved the package because it was gone when she went home for lunch. In the early afternoon local residents observed ICE, ATF, and local law enforcement make what appeared to be a huge drug bust in town that afternoon. It hit all over social media around here. The whole area around the bust was shut down for a couple of hours and it was on a major route in the town. Daughter had a long delay getting home from work due to it.
After the dust settled and more became known and handled legally such that it could be discussed in generalities, we asked SonIL about it. Our subject family members were very curious as well. He was only involved in the crime scene security. Turns out it was an ICE related sting. The illegals and others at the bust address had already accepted three of four packages that authorities (probably MEMPHIS related) suspected had cocaine, however, they had intercepted the fourth. They did not have all they wanted to bust the entire operation on major felony charges as they suspected the first three packages may have been moved. Local ICE/ATF had been directed to the fourth package and made arrangements for the “mistaken” delivery to the neighbor’s driveway – it made sense as an accidental delivery. There are only two directions the retrievers could follow out of her subdivision and they were easily covered by the local task force. Our family member had unwittingly helped them by contacting the business on her neighbor’s behalf to let them know where it was. Undercover officers simply waited until the traffickers came to get it, followed them to the business and lowered the boom; catching all of the participants in the process as well as finding the other three cocaine containing packages that had not been moved. Undoubtedly the street value was worth millions of dollars.
That must have hurt business for their bosses as well as the recreational pursuits of many of their customers. Oh well. Can you imagine all of the excited news stories the local fake news media put out about it! Oh wait, crickets. Here we are over two months later and not one news report from area fake media. None. The storefront “business” (vape store) the traffickers operated on that main route was closed of course. Not one mention about that either.
After the busted drug traffickers finish doing hard time in prison, they will be deported back to their shizholes or El Salvador depending on cartel affiliation many years from now. This type trafficking has been happening all over the country for decades with the knowledge of many elected officials. This one example should illuminate the minds of even the least informed.
We voted for these policing and deportation actions. Pay attention to just how deep it goes and realize it is all around you. If you see something, say something.
My Downside
As a patriot, what downside, you may ask? I now have to put up with an annoying family member bragging about how she helped law enforcement make a huge cocaine trafficking bust in our area. I really do love her even if she is annoying. I am also jealous that I did not have the opportunity do it.
😂
My View
Raise your hand if you believe the fake media’s and Uniparty’s representations that there are less than 20 million illegals living in this country? Yeah, I know. Anybody who chooses to read here knows that is pure bullshiz.
Which is a major reason why #47’s patriots are spending nearly $40 billion on warehouses around the country to house all of them until they are jettisoned. However, you do not purchase real estate if the commitment is shorter term – you lease. This is a long term plan that is being executed. It will take the better part of a decade to get the 50 million or so out of here because of the intentionally misrepresented documentation they utilize as well as their hiding places.
However, as that is done it will free up “beds” to be used by the other criminals that are pulled in and processed. That would be for those such as fraudsters and the like found primarily in blue states as well as domestic illegal drug dealer networks. Be assured there will be future plans executed for the use of the facilities once the immediate mission is complete.
We ARE going to receive our country back. Criminals are criminals no matter their nation of origin. Which means other clean up will be occurring on a major scale. DHS facilities will not only be used for processing foreign invaders. They can also be used for temporary detention of domestic insurrectionists and criminals who fall under the umbrella of DHS.
This war is like so many others. It is about money and power. With our Treasury becoming more assertive in conjunction with law enforcement and national security departments, the noose will continue to tighten around the necks of those opposed to the American Way.
Conclusion
I will wind up with a quick story. i have brought up about my neighbor previously. He was an Army Ranger for 20 years before joining the LAPD as an officer and weapons instructor. He told me if he was a younger man he would have long since joined ICE to protect the homeland. He finds it to be the most important law enforcement role in America today. When he retired and moved back to the south, he left feeling that California was lost and would never be a part of America again. He no longer feels that way. He sees positive change on the ground with average citizens when he goes back for visits with his wife, who is a native of the state. He has hope again.
That helps all of us know we are on the right track, even in the bluest of states. Eventually sincere people stop enabling criminals when their activities start affecting their own lives. Keep the hammer down.

THE STUFF
This is an EXTREMELY interesting LINGUISTIC analysis of the Biblical account of Eve’s creation from Adam. Not only is the whole “rib” thing now a highly questionable translation – the “maleness” of pre-division Adam is in play.
Bottom line – the translation presented here sounds much smarter than the one that critics of the Bible love to cite. I’m still not a “literalist” on Genesis – but I think the metaphorical nature of the Genesis account just got way smarter by this translation and interpretation.
Anesthesia and surgery. Useful stuff. Even in an analogy.
