DePop by Pesticides – An Update
You may recall my recent article on how China-backed pesticidal treatments of your home and yard are – IMO – the “Plan B” of the depopulationist war on America, the war on Humans, and the war on Freedom.
…many times more potent and toxic). Slide Show on Pesticides: https://www.slideserve.com/ulysses-watkins/pesticides-types-and-modes-of-action Article on Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids: https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/53803 Ditto for “neonicotinoids“, which function at the same insect (or mammal) receptors as… (Search hits: 14 in body, 1 in title, 0 in categories, 0 in tags, 0 in other taxonomies, 5 in comments. Score: 576.28)
In that article, I talked about how a bunch of globalist, foreign-backed pest-treatment companies in America were deceptively marketing highly synthetic pesticides, with remote structural relationships to “natural” substances, as “organic”, “natural”, “plant-based”, etc. I mentioned anecdotal evidence of how toxic these substances were, not only to insects, but to mammals as well – both rodents and people.
Well, as I was cleaning out the garage, I found a bunch of bird magazines that a kindly neighbor had donated to me. I had not read them, but stacked them near the recycle box, hoping to read them and dispose of them in stages.
Just randomly opening one, I was stunned to find a powerful study of EXACTLY the pesticides I was talking about earlier, having disastrous effects on wild birds.
Magazine: Living Bird Publisher: Cornell Lab of Ornithology Date: Spring 2020, Volume 39, Issue 2
Title: Neonics Appear to Interfere with Bird Migration
IMO, the bottom line is that we need to be very proactive in terms of keeping these chemicals away from us, to whatever degree is possible. You will get some ideas, reading that last link.

Thoughts On The 2026 Ohio Primary Election Results
TL;DR – they were great!
Just stopping in briefly to talk about this important result. I wish I could spend more time on this, but I have to get back to work.
This primary was important for both Trump and Vivek – and for me. We MUST defeat Lockdown Amy and Proggy Pepper. Ohio is SCREWED if these socialists win. They probably cannot win, but we cannot let down our guard.
Yes, Ramaswamy is “polished” to the level of being “Ratha-smarmy”. But he also has “the stuff” – and I mean the stuff that a certain President has even more of.
His Wikipedia page is very interesting, and has some surprises.
Here is Vivek’s victory speech queued up to the brief introductions.
Now, in more detail, the result.
Kalbo brought this tweet on Wednesday….
🚨 WOW! Vivek Ramaswamy wins 100% PERCENT of Ohio counties in the governor GOP primary — and with nearly all of the vote counted, he has 82.5% of the vote
🚨 MASSIVE TRUMP VICTORY IN INDIANA! RINO Sen. Greg Walker — who voted AGAINST redistricting — has been CRUSHED by Trump-endorsed Michelle Davis! President Trump is 6 FOR 7 tonight 🔥 MAGA is taking back the GOP 🇺🇸💪#TrumpEndorsed#IndianaPrimary#MAGApic.twitter.com/oxXiYMtbrY

Yeah, Indiana is demonstrably Trump Country. And so is Ohio.
Back to Ohio.
What the media and the Dems were hoping for, was any sign of weakness on Vivek’s part. The Dems are desperate to get Sherrod Brown back into the US Senate, and their next goal after that, is to get Lockdown Amy and the man who would be the REAL governor, Democrat Party Chairman David Pepper, into the statehouse.
Vivek’s “Republican” opponent, Casey Putsch, shouldn’t have even been on the ballot, much less getting 15% of the vote, and in a sane world, he would have gotten NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING. However, the Democrat media has done every bit of heavy lifting possible, to take an anti-Trump, anti-Israel, anti-everything non-pol who had zero experience with the Republican party, who could never even win a school board seat in a safe district, and give him the media coverage needed to make him “credible” – while at the same time, social media bots have used the Epstein, Fuentes, Bondi, and Palestine Genocide strategies to boost him with as many MTG-type MAGA as they could.
AND YET – Vivek beat Putsch far worse than any other machine pick beat an anti-machine upstart in recent Ohio history. Bottom line, IMO – Vivek is a stronger candidate than ANY Ohio Republican governor candidate in decades, including Kasich and DeWine. There is a reason that the Machine picked him.
Note that Vivek is using the same machine staffing strategy that the Dems are using. Acton picked David Pepper as her Lieutenant, because he’s actually capable of putting together a strong [socialist, Demmunist] administration FAST. Well, Vivek picked the Ohio Senate President, Rob McColley, as HIS Lieutenant. This wise move tells me that Vivek is not only serious about transforming Ohio – he is actually capable of transforming Ohio.
Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he backed Vivek.
I think the following pair of tweets explains why Vivek is going to beat Lockdown Amy. I won’t explain it too well, because I don’t want to help the Demmunists, but this says it all.
The screech owls here have to be ignored because they’re working for the enemy. Vivek was another reason I voted for Trump. Especially after the town hall in Springfield Ohio. He is engaging and brilliant.
He will be president someday and is a star for the Republicans.
If you only looked at X, you’d think the Republican Party rejected Vivek Ramaswamy. Groypers screaming. Doomposts everywhere. But reality just dropped: Vivek wins with 86% of the vote. Online is not real life. The real Republican Party isn’t racist. We don’t care about skin color. We want visionary leaders who fight for America First — bold, smart, unapologetic. Vivek delivered. And the same thing is coming for Byron Donalds. The Groypers don’t own this party. We do. Real voters. Real results. Real future. #AmericaFirst#Vivek2026#ByronDonalds”
And the response…..
The screech owls here have to be ignored because they’re working for the enemy. Vivek was another reason I voted for Trump. Especially after the town hall in Springfield Ohio. He is engaging and brilliant. He will be president someday and is a star for the Republicans.
And with that, I will get back to work! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PS – if you want to understand just how BAD Casey Putsch was, just read this tweet. I don’t agree with Forney’s full take on Vivek, but he nukes all the nukeables of the “Retard Right”!
Casey Putsch has been defeated in a humiliating landslide.
It's not even close. Vivek Ramasmarmy buried Putsch by 70 points.

Casey Putsch has been defeated in a humiliating landslide.
It’s not even close. Vivek Ramasmarmy buried Putsch by 70 points.
We need to talk about the Retard Right and why they fail. It pains me to say this as I like Casey and believe he had genuinely good ideas that would have economically revitalized Ohio, such as his infrastructure plans. But he failed for a reason, and unless people understand the reason, this will just happen over and over.
1) Don’t attack Trump.
The image of Casey Putsch burning his MAGA hat doomed him right out of the gate. I don’t care how disappointed you are with Trump, how many blackpills that Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes have fed you. Donald Trump IS the Republican Party. He runs the show. You need his blessing or at least his neutrality to get anywhere.
The majority of Republicans—the people Casey needed to win over—support Trump. There is no constituency for being Based and Anti-Trump, it’s a less popular position than Liz Cheneyism. Casey Putsch could have cleared this up with an immediate apology: “I was wrong to turn on Trump. I have my problems with him, but I believe in what he’s doing. I’m running to support his MAGA agenda and help him finish the job.” Pride, foolishness, or Internet poisoning kept him from humbling himself. Even Thomas Massie has had to pivot his campaign to lying about how he’s best buddies with Trump, because his actual connections with the Squad etc. are electoral poison in Kentucky. Just trust Trump! It’s not that hard!
2) Get off social media.
Vivek Ramasmarmy is an incredibly weak candidate, off-putting in person, has a deep contempt for white Americans, and wants to flood Ohio with Indians. He should be as easy to knock over as a feather in the wind. Vivek practically wrote Putsch’s campaign messaging for him.
So what did Casey do? Did he hit the streets, post ads telling Ohioans that Vivek hates them and wants to replace them? That should have been the front and center of everything he did. No. Instead, he kept posting about how AI told him that Israel is Satanic. He kept wading into the Epstein files swamp. He went to Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest and shared the stage with a fat anchor baby and a Muslim hijabi, both of whom openly hate white Americans, destroying any credibility he had in attacking Vivek for his anti-white views.
Social media is not real life. The heady days of 2016 or even 2024 are over. As @Freedomalternat pointed out in his post-mortem on the Hungarian election, Twitter and other social media sites are so overrun with bots and AI slop that they do not represent public opinion anymore. Stunting on the hoes online cannot help, it can only hurt. Ed Gallrein is already using Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest clips to attack Thomas Massie. Vivek himself realized how damaging his X posts were to his political ambitions, so he got off social media to focus on retail campaigning. This is why he won.
3) Stop talking about the Jews.
Israel, pro- or anti-, is not an important issue for the kinds of voters you need to win a Republican primary. They want to hear about jobs, inflation, crime; meat and potato issues. Not only that, a governor’s ability to influence Israel, Iran etc. is fuck all.
Mouthing off about how much you hate Israel cannot help in a Republican primary. Again, it can only hurt, because you look like a deranged moron to the people who actually vote and you take away valuable space that could be used for important issues, issues where you shine. Casey Putsch SHOULD be known for his anti-immigration stance and his ambitious plans to revamp Ohio’s infrastructure. Instead, he’s known for palling around with hijabis and treating ChatGPT like an anti-Semitic magic eight-ball.
Before anyone responds with “Casey Putsch is an idiot influencer, of COURSE he was gonna lose,” I have two words: Brandon Herrera. Herrera, like Putsch, is a YouTuber. Unlike Putsch, Herrera won his primary and is almost certainly going to be elected to the House. What’s the difference? Herrera didn’t “campaign” by camping out on Twitter to stunt on them Jewish hoes. He hit the campaign trail, made friends and allies in local GOP organizations, focused his messaging on how he wanted to help his constituents and what he planned to do in office. Herrera also didn’t turn on Trump and now he has Trump’s endorsement. Learn from Brandon Herrera.
I feel confident in predicting that this is the beginning of the end for the Retard Right. Thomas Massie, James Fishback, Dan Bilzerian will all lose their primaries and the retarded anti-Zionist element will be purged from the right forever. It has no constituency, as Casey Putsch’s landslide defeat shows. Candace Owens is already talking about joining forces with the left to form some kind of Anti-Zionist Popular Front. Nick Fuentes has said that he is a “moderate Democrat.” The Retard Right are functional leftists in the process of becoming actual leftists. And the best part is that they ruined themselves by not knowing when to shut up.

We have some interesting but powerful trinkets today. Gird up thy loins.
(1) How about the top 15 discoveries make *by* AI as of 7 months ago? That’s right – things that were discovered or figured out *BY* AI.
(2) Are you ready to let a white chick with blue-black hair and green eyes show you three colors that can’t physically exist as hues of real things, but that you can trick your eyes into seeing? This actually works! They’re called “impossible colors” – and you can see them.

It’s not every month where there’s a day that’s the month squared – but today is one of those days!
Enjoy some especially alphanumerical trinkets!
(1) Have you ever wanted to understand the technology inside your credit cards? RFID vs. lines of B? Here is your chance! And it’s done by Veritasium!
(2) Everything you probably didn’t know about that great TV comedy of the 1960s, F TROOP!
(3) 8000 may not seem like a magic number, but up on the mountains, it is. Above 8000 meters, you cannot rest. You must get below that altitude to live.
(4) Note that there is now a lot of FAKE mountain disaster content, where annoying and arrogant fake people like “fitness influencers” die after they do bad things like insult their superior non-white sherpas. Very strange. 2 bad white grlz die. 2 good Nepalis live!
This video doesn’t admit to false and “synthetic” content, but I verified that this is fake, with the help of Duck AI.
(5) Body cams and WGTTs. You know this can’t end well. Let this be a reminder that one less drink and one more “Yes, sir” will get you very far in life.
OK, I have a hangover just watching that.
Have a great weekend, and act responsibly. Let me recommend the ginger ale and popcorn.

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!

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!

Like tater tots struggling to stay warm on the kitchen table, these here Thursday Trinkets need just a little love to stay tasty. Enjoy!
(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!
Definitely one of the better episodes. SO – which strategy did you pick? And why?
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.

Thursday Trinkets – THEY’RE HERE!!!
(1) Let’s start this off right!
(2) Have you ever heard of [badly] exploding shotgun slugs? Enjoy some humorous backyard ballistics.
(3) Skip over this one if spiders creep you out. Think of worrisome American spiders as 3 categories. Black widows, brown recluses, and “other”. This is about “other”. They’re not so bad, but you might want to pay attention to them.
(4) The end of the Bronze Age is fascinating.
(5) How about an instrumental hymn? Does it sound familiar? Words are provided below!
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.

Thursday trinkets are here! Take your pick! This one is “buggy”!
(1) Ladybugs. All kinds – both the old American ones, and the imported Chinese invasive ones that try to bite to hold on but just pinch. And the LARVAE. Ewwww – larvae. AI has opinions about them. Sorry that this one has to be watched on YouTube.
Let’s finish off with the most common and closest look-alike, IMO – the Western Conifer Seed Bug (WCSB). This is America’s version of the Chinese ladybug, an invasive American species hitching a ride to the rest of the world! BUT IT’S CUTE! And it only stinks [LIKE BANANAS!] or pokes you if you manhandle it!
Their primary defense is to emit an unpleasant-smelling alarm pheromone;[2] however, if handled roughly they will stab with their proboscis, though they are hardly able to cause injury to humans as it is adapted only to suck plant sap and not, as in the assassin bugs, to inject venom.
PS – a great (and FREE) scientific article about controlling the invasive WCSB.
