“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
We continue with our Pennsylvania signers of the Declaration of Independence today. We must first address some massively important questions relating to Pennsylvania before moving on as they have seismic implications. I want your input in response to these important questions in the comments.
First,
Which chain eatery has the best Philly Cheesesteak sandwich?
We all know the locals would trump the chains, but not many of us get the opportunity to partake of the offerings of the locals. That is why this question relates to the chains. What we do know is that there are too many choices and personal likes and dislikes to promote one style over the other. However, that does not stop me from giving my view since I am the author of this story. 😂
That said, I do think ribeye makes for the best taste. I also think the Firehouse Subs version is #1(a) and Jersey Mike’s Big Kahuna is #1(b) for the best chain provider of the ones I have tried. The later uses white American cheese versus provolone with the former. For what it is worth Charleys Philly Steaks wins the #1 pick with nearly all of the reviewers who have tried them. There are just no Charleys anywhere around where I could try one.
So, the next question is which Pennsylvania professional sports team is the most popular?
We know most Pennsylvanians love their sports, especially the professional teams. To answer this I picked one measure which would be to see which had the most web searches conducted on them. The results as provided by a gaming site that did the research a few years ago by checking google searches was as follows (in order): Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), Philadelphia Eagles (NFL), Pittsburg Penguins (NHL), Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB), Philadelphia Phillies (MLB).
After the Eagles’ Super Bowl appearance in 2024, I suspected that order may have changed with the top two when also considering TV ratings. The margin narrowed, but even based on TV ratings the order remains the same. Perhaps the Eagles victory in the last SB may have put them over the top subject to more current data that I could not find. One thing we can determine with certainty, it appears that Steeler fans and Eagles fans do not cross their self imposed red lines of fandoms.
It was interesting to note that the wretched Pirates, or Rats as MLB Central Division competitor fans call them, as a bad team of late had nearly double the searches over the Phillies organization that made it all the way to the World Series the year the data and article was published. It is also telling that the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers did not even make the Top 10. So much for the NBA. It died when Michael Jordan retired in my home anyway.
Next, what are the Top 15 attractions for visitors in Pennsylvania?
For this one I went to Tripadvisor, which seems like a logical source since people love to talk about and rate where they visit. From the TA site: “…we consider traveler reviews, ratings, number of page views, and user location.” The results were surprising to say the least.
In order: Eastern State Penitentiary (😂), Longwood Gardens (botanical), Independence Hall, Sight & Sound Theaters (Biblical dramatizations), Duquesne Incline (cable car ride), Knoebels Amusement Resort, Reading Terminal Market (food), Gettysburg National Military Park, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Park, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fallingwater (Frank Lloyd Wright home/nature), The Amish Farm and House, PNC Park (Pirates), Presque Isle State Park, Strip District (eateries, bars, shops).
A visit to Eastern State Penitentiary sounds like the most Philadelphia thing evah. Visitors are treated to the former accommodations of Al Capone and death row in a medieval looking, architecturally wondrous House of Pain. Yeah! Now if they could convert it to Pennsylvania’s version of Alligator Alcatraz and permit MAGA supporters to attend departure ceremonies with open viewing of illegals being jettisoned we might be on to something. Many of us would pay reasonable admission fees to attend.
I am going to avoid the currently most popular Pennsylvania celebrity with the next question as it creates recency bias. Besides that I cannot stand Taylor Swift. The question I pose is who are the Top Fifteen greatest Pennsylvanians of all time?
Even Swift was relegated to #100 in the linked listing below. The authors seemed to take their approach a tiny bit more seriously, but alas, also very woke. It is hard to take a list of greats seriously that has Fred Rogers at #3 out of 100, but you know what is said about opinions and azzholes, everybody has one.
My version from the list would go: William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Dwight Eisenhower, Benjamin Rush, Betsy Ross, John Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Jimmy Stewart, George Westinghouse, George C. Marshall, Milton Hershey, Billie Holiday, Jim Thorpe, Wilt Chamberlain, John Coltrane, Stephen Foster, Johnny Unitas, Arnold Palmer, and… welp, I guess I cannot stop at fifteen. Pretty amazing list of people. I could list nearly fifteen patriots from the independence movement alone. Guess it is time to move on. I left out Andrew Carnegie due to what we know about how his Foundation’s funds were used to weaponize against the interests of We the People.
Enough with the fluff, time to move on to the another PA signer of the Declaration.
George Ross, Jr.
The next founding father is often overlooked in the discussions about Declaration signers. A son of Anglican clergy Rev. George Ross, Sr. who had emigrated from Scotland in 1679, George Ross was born in 1730 in New Castle, DE as one of sixteen children of his father who had two wives. The Ross family had a long history in Scotland dating back to the year 1173 with the naming of an ancestor as the Earl of Ross in 1226 as he had great battle victories under King Alexander II. George’s sister, Gertrude, married the son of a prominent judge and politician. Upon the man’s death she married Declaration signer, George Read. Ross Jr. was also the uncle of the man who married Betsy Griscom in 1773. Perhaps you have heard of Betsy Ross?
Just in prominent family relationships alone we see George Ross, George Read and Betsy Ross. There is more acknowledgement of his importance in the patriot past with George Ross, George Washington and Robert Morris being featured on a 3 cent US stamp commemorating Betsy Ross back in 1952.
Ross received a classical education at home through the efforts of his father. He went on to read law at the office of his attorney older brother, John. At the age of 20 he was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar and opened his practice in Lancaster, PA in 1750. He married Ann Lawler in 1751 and they went on to have three children together; two sons and a daughter. They were of the Episcopal faith and he was a vestryman in St. James Episcopal Church there. They met when she was 19 after she sought his legal advice and she became one of his first clients. It was an unusual event for a young woman to need legal advice in those days, but it appears none of her family were still living. It is possible his expertise was needed as she owned properties there that had probably been passed to her from her deceased father. With their marriage they had considerable combined wealth. She was considered quite beautiful by the town’s residents as were their children. One portrait of her follows,
During those days Ross was a Tory and was appointed as a Crown prosecutor for 12 years in Carlisle until elected into the PA provincial legislature in 1768. Although late to the cause of independence, through his experiences he began to see the difficulties caused by Parliament’s actions against the colonies. He became consumed with support for the independence movement and continued to progress in politics, representing PA in various roles and as a delegate in the General Congress in 1774. Just prior to that his wife passed away unexpectedly in 1773 at the age of 42 . George chose not to remarry.
He became a member of the Committee of Safety the next year in 1775 before being elected into the Continental Congress in 1776. He also served as a Colonel in the Continental Army. Being a benevolent person at heart he was soon tasked with improving relationships and negotiating a peace treaty, the Fort Pitt Treaty, with the northwestern PA located Indians.
Ross was not a member of the Continental Congress when the Declaration was approved. However, he had become one for the state prior to its signing and executed the document. He assisted with procurement and inspection of military supplies until his health turned poor and had to resign. In 1777 he was appointed a judge in the state’s Court of Admiralty (maritime related). He was a strong states’ rights advocate in the law before it became a controversial subject. He returned to serve once again in the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1778.
In 1779 he passed away from the effects of gout at the age of 49. He is buried with other founders in the Christ Church cemetery. Although Ross did not fight in the war due to his health, both of the couple’s sons served with distinction and led exemplary lives along with their sister. Ann, one son (George), and their daughter (Mary) are buried in St. James Episcopal Church Cemetery in Lancaster with other family members.
George Ross, Jr. went about his duties to God, country and family resolutely and well. We salute him as an important founding patriot of our great nation.

Walk in the Light
To “walk in the light” is a common metaphor within Christian culture. It is often taken to mean “acting correctly” or even “living openly.” Biblically, however, the phrase has the idea of relinquishing sin by following Jesus.
The only Old Testament occurrence of this precise phrase is in Isaiah 2:5, “O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” The Psalms contain similar phrases (56:13; 89:15), as does Isaiah (9:2; 50:10-11; 59:9).
In the New Testament, “walking in the light” is directly related to following Jesus, who said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). While this verse does not directly say, “Walk in the light, i.e., Jesus,” it does pointedly warn of doing the opposite; therefore, those who follow Jesus are “walking in the light.”
To “walk” is, in short, to live one’s life. One’s lifestyle or way of life can be considered a “walk.” The word also indicates progress. Walking is related to growth; it is taking steps toward maturity. “Light” in the Bible can be a metaphor for life, happiness, righteousness, or understanding. The Bible is clear that light comes from the Lord God, the “Father of the heavenly lights” (James 1:17). He is the opposite of evil. Putting it all together, “walking in the light” means “growing in holiness and maturing in the faith as we follow Jesus.”
The apostle John repeatedly used the “light” metaphor in relation to the Messiah. For example, he writes that Jesus is “the true light that gives light to every man” (John 1:9). In 1 John 1:7 he says, “If we walk in the light as He [God] is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” In verse 5, John says that God’s very nature is light. Jesus, then, is the conduit or provider of light to the world.
Our Christian duty is to live in the light God gives: “Now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). When we walk in the light, we cannot walk in darkness. Sin is left in the shadows as we let our light “shine before men” (Matthew 5:16). It is God’s plan for us to become more like Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:3).
“Walking in the light” means we consider Jesus as “the light” in this world, and we “walk” in that light by following His precepts, living in His power, and growing in His grace. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/walk-in-the-light.html
Yep, Kurt has noticed that lots of people are getting twanging schadenböners.
And you do not have to be male to get this kind of böner.
Hat tip to Scott (I think–if it wasn’t Scott it was 4GodAndCountry) for this video, which implies a LOT of schadenböners in our future.

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (Bioweapon Toxin Injections), Yours Truly dedicates it to the memory of all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative, toxic effects of the the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had injected into their body.
There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here.

Today’s offering regards more information on the negative effects that the COVID-19 “vaccines” have on the human brain. The trail begins here:
Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi: Because Of mRNA Vaccines, The Brains Of Billions Of People Are Not Working Anymore.
"The mRNA vaccines cause the destruction of brain cells. Obviously. And that is what we are now experiencing. We're seeing — I'm afraid to say BILLIONS OF PEOPLE — whose… pic.twitter.com/pvgpBRjsj7
Recall that Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, a medical microbiologist who is involved with the Doctors for COVID Ethics organization (https://doctors4covidethics.org/), and who is a dual citizen of Thailand and of Germany, was put on trial in Germany for his anti-COVID-19 “vaccine” stance. The court returned a verdict of Not Guilty in May 2023. The prosecutor’s appeal of Dr. Bhakdi’s Not Guilty verdict, an appeal that was to go to court in February 2025, was postponed [1]. More on the story related to the tweet by Dr. Bhakdi is here: https://slaynews.com/news/renowned-microbiologist-mrna-vaccines-destroyed-brains-billions-people/, “Renowned Microbiologist: mRNA ‘Vaccines’ ‘Destroyed the Brains’ of ‘Billions of People'”, by Frank Bergman, 14 July 2025.
Today’s offering speaks to the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” on the human brain having to do with two small, but very important, glands located in the brain: the pituitary gland and the pineal gland.
The pituitary gland, a small, pea-shaped gland,is found in the human brain near the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland secretes several hormones that are important to various body functions. The pineal gland, another small gland, is found in the center area of the human brain. The pineal gland, among other functions, secretes melatonin, a hormone that is important for the body’s circadian rhythm and for proper sleep. The pituitary gland, the pineal gland, and the hypothalamus are components of the endocrine system of the human body. Please see the screenshots below: the first is about the pituitary gland [2]; the second is about the pineal gland [3]; and the third is from an article on the pineal gland that includes a discussion about the endocrine system [4]:
The ingredients (and, therefore, the mechanisms) of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, once injected into the body, quickly spread, via the dangerous lipid nanoparticles “rapid delivery system” compounds that are contained in these injectables, to every area of the human body, including to the brain. Yours Truly has written and posted about these lab-created compounds. They are: ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 in the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (all of them); and, SM-102 in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (all of them.) It is now known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier of the human body and do damage to the brain. Once inside the brain, these “vaccines” can, and do, induce multiple problems ranging from Central Nervous System damage, to stroke, to cognitive impairment, to Alzheimer’s disease, and more. The Ota, et al., 2025 paper demonstrates that the COVID-19 spike protein (the foundation ingredient of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”) enters the cerebral arteries [5]. Please see a screenshot from this paper, below:
The Roh, et al. paper, from 2024, demonstrates that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” can induce Alzheimer’s disease [6]. Please see a screenshot from the Abstract of this paper, below:
A compilation of articles regarding how the COVID-19 “vaccines” enter the human brain and induce damage is here: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/vaids-bombshell-the-covid-vaccine, “VAIDS BOMBSHELL: “The ‘Covid Vaccine’ is a CHEMICAL LOBOTOMY. A recent study of 558,017 Koreans found that the mRNA shots Increase the Risk of Cognitive Impairment +137.7% & Alzheimer’s disease +22.5”, 23 July 2025. There are numerous links in this article to previous posts in this Substack which discuss brain issues after COVID-19 “vaccination.” The Ota, et al., paper is also mentioned.
There is another aspect of the issue regarding how the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” enter into every area (and, therefore, into the cells of these areas) of the “vaccinated” human body. This is the fact that the PRRARSV gene code piece from the Pangolin MP789 coronavirus is present in BOTH the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (all of them.) This particular gene code piece has a 90%+ compatibility to the human genome code. In the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, PRRARSV functions as a “backdoor key” to facilitate entry into every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body. Both our host, Wolf Moon, and Yours Truly has written about this situation here, for examples: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/05/01/pfizer-and-moderna-vaccines-both-contain-prrarsv-key-to-the-cell-nucleus/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2024/11/27/placeholder-open-thread-11-27-2024-prrarsv-part-2-pangolin-edition/.
Back to the pituitary gland and the pineal gland of the human brain. Dr. Michele Ross, PhD, discusses the four areas of the brain that are not specifically protected by the Blood-Brain Barrier. Please see a screenshot from her article [7], below:
The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” enter and damage the pituitary gland, one of the glands that is not specifically protected by the human Blood-Brain Barrier. The Taieb and Mounira paper from 2024 discusses this issue [8]. Two screenshots from their paper are below; the first is from the Abstract; the second is the Figure 2:
Another paper, by Verrienti, et al., from 2024, is a review of effects on the pituitary gland after COVID-19 “vaccination”[9]. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. The first is the Conclusions section; the second is the Figure 1.
************ And now, to what may appear to be a minor point, but actually is, in Yours Truly’s opinion, an important aspect of the types of damage that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do to the pineal gland of the human brain:these injectables interfere with the ADAMTS3 enzyme (a protein), part of the adamalysin family of enzymes. The influences of the ADAMTS enzymes in the human body range from functions in the brain, to correct growth of the lymphatic vessels, and more. Please see the screenshot from the Wikipedia entry on ADAMTS [10], below:
One member of the ADAMTS family is ADAMTS3. This enzyme (protein) is involved with, among other functions, the proper regulating of the brain’s cortex(the cerebral cortex, the outer “covering” of the brain.) Please see the screenshot from the Wikipedia entry on ADAMTS3 [11], below:
Pay special attention to the mention of Reelin. This protein is essential to the lamination of the cerebral cortex (lamination of the cerebral cortex appears like “multiple folds.”) When Reelin is decreased during the human aging process, brain function is negatively affected. When Reelin is decreased at other times in the human lifespan, the result can be Schizophrenia and other neurological conditions. Please see the screenshot from the Sighild Lemarchant article of 2017 [12], below:
The Cleveland Clinic article on the cerebral cortex starts with the following [13]:
************ And here is the “tie-in” to the COVID-19 spike protein and the brain: the spike protein of this virus interferes with the functioning of ADAMTS3. The Seabra Rodrigues Dias, et al., 2022 paper discusses what COVID-19 does to disrupt the work of the ADAMTS enzymes in the body [14]. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below. The first is a portion of section 2.5 Adamalysin expression in COVID-19 patients; the second is the Table 2. of body areas and functions that ADAMTS3 influences:
************ It is Yours Truly’s considered opinion that, since the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (and the COVID-19 virus itself) contain elements that accelerate the aging of the entire body, down to the mitochondrial level, they also accelerate aging of the Reelin function in the brain related to ADAMTS3. This accelerated aging of the Reelin function can “leave the door open” for the development of cognitive impairment, of dementia, of Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological / psychological conditions. Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/10/28/the-covid-19-virus-and-the-modrna-covid-19-vaccines-induce-accelerated-aging/.
Yours Truly will point out that, while the COVID-19 virus itself does not contain the lab-created compound N1-Methylpseudouridine, nor the dangerous lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159, ALC-0315, or SM-102 — the COVID-19 virus itselfdoes contain the PRRARSV “backdoor key”, and it also appears to contain elements that interfere with ADAMTS enzymes (proteins) in the body, including ADAMTS3 and the function of the Reelin protein in the brain. In my opinion, these facts may contribute to the incidence of “Long COVID” in non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who contract an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, recover from it, but then can present with symptoms of “Long COVID.” This is aside from COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who can also present with symptoms of “Long COVID.” These “Long COVID” symptoms may present as neurological and/or psychological issues (either new-onset, or aggravation of previously-diagnosed conditions.)
TO CONCLUDE: It is Yours Truly’s considered opinion that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” were designed to damage, to injure, and/or to destroy, the human body. This damage, injury, and/or destruction includes every organ and area of the body of a person who has taken any injection of modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” This damage, injury, and/or destruction begins the moment that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” is injected into the body. The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” contain a lab-created compound, N1-Methylpseudouridine, that replaces the natural Uridine in the “vaccinated” person’s body with a “fake” Uridine combined with a type of methane. Natural Uridine plays crucial roles in multiple types of brain function, in mood regulation, and in the regulation of the “gut-brain axis” functions of the body. N1-Methylpseudouridine has no role in the body beyond replacing natural Uridine, thus weakening the “vaccinated” person’s body natural immune system against the other ingredients and mechanisms of the “vaccines.” The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” contain dangerous lab-created lipid nanoparticles, which quickly spread the ingredients (and, therefore, the mechanisms) of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” throughout the body of the “vaccinated” person, including crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier and entering the brain. The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” induce multiple types of damage and injury to the brain, including to the areas of the brain that are not specifically protected by the Blood-Brain Barrier, such as the pituitary gland and the pineal gland. The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” contain elements that interfere with the important ADAMTS3 enzyme (protein) of the body; a protein that plays critical roles in multiple areas, including the proper regulation of the cerebral cortex covering of the brain. The spike protein in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” interfere with the proper function of the Reelin protein in the brain as it relates to ADAMTS3. The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” also contain the PRRARSV gene code piece from the Pangolin MP789 coronavirus; PRRARSV acts as a “backdoor key” that facilities the entry of the COVID-19 spike protein in the modRNA “vaccines” to enter the nucleus of every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body. [The above are aside from the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” also contain a SV40 cancer promoter gene code piece from the African Green Monkey.] The COVID-19 virus itself contains the PRRARSV gene code piece; and, it also appears to contain elements that interfere with the important ADAMTS3 enzyme of the body.In addition, there is the now-known phenomenon of COVID-19 “vaccine” spike protein “shedding” from “vaccinated” persons onto other persons, including onto non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons. It is Yours Truly’s considered opinion that this “shedding” can also potentially result in negative neurological effects, among other negative effects, in non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons. Yours Truly is NOT advocating that non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons avoid all contact with persons who may be COVID-19 “vaccinated”: but, instead, to be following a prophylatic COVID-19 spike protein protocol. In addition, ALL persons who have ever taken a COVID-19 “vaccine”, and ALL non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who have been infected with COVID-19 and recovered, ALSO need to be following a COVID-19 spike protein mitigation / reduction protocol.
************Yours Truly will state the following:It is past time for all COVID-19 “vaccines” to be taken off the market, and to be completely removed from use; to have all COVID-19 “vaccines” completely removed from any and all “recommendation lists” issued by any government agency, any private or non-governmental agency or organization, any hospital, clinic, pharmacy, nursing home or care facility, and any school board or educational facility; to have all COVID-19 “vaccine” inventories that are used on human beings reduced to zero; to retain only those COVID-19 “vaccine” vials that will be used for complete analysis and data compilation regarding the exact ingredients in these injectables and the sources of these ingredients, with the resulting information and data analyses made public; and, to hold to full account those who created the COVID-19 virus itself and the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

Given the hysteria around the Epstein Files and the unsigned memo, I thought I would document this historic happening. The timeline, using comments by Q-Treeoers, is at the bottom of the article. I decided to start off with the more current happenings and various peoples takes on this mess.
….The Grand Jury testimony represents the best version of the case the DOJ believed it could prove, before Epstein’s death, before redactions, and without political caution. It’s the raw indictment pitch, presented to citizens in private, without spin or PR filter. Unlike rumors, anonymous leaks, or pages of potentially related or unrelated documents, grand jury material is presented under oath. The witnesses are sworn. The evidence is carefully cataloged. It’s all been formally curated by prosecutors…. [<== NOTE PROSECUTORS as in M. Comey! GC]
SITREP Ep. 122: Weaponized Institutions, Border Games, and War Crimes – Featuring Reeve Swainston
Reeve is a former Marine and DOJ prosecutor. @ 25 minutes he says that Maurene Comey would be the one who asked the judge to have the Maxwell case SEALED. As far as unsealing the Grand Jury material, @ 28 minutes, Reeve says it is a ‘heavy lift’ and would need court approval. Generally it is NEVER disclosed. This is the same thing Jeff Childers says. [She was at SDNY in 2014 & became assistant US attorney (SDNY) 👉in May 2016. Wiki]
@ 1:13:00 Brian Lupo comments that he thinks the only one who has actually acknowledge that memo is Caroline Levitt. He does not recall anyone else acknowledging it. He also thinks that AXIOS by putting it out before the Trump admin was ready has put them back on their heels and made them defensive.
@ 1:14:10 Alpha says he thinks it is Kayfabe. He notes that the Trump admin was ready this time. People are fired, arrested and moved the minute there is a problem. This tells you they are being watched. Tonight [Jul 17] Trump put out the Grand Jury request to Bondi. Did you see how fast she replied? Under five minutes. There is not how fast one moves on such large scale things. He thinks Bondi does nothing critical that is not approved by Trump. That request to Bondi would have caused a Schiff storm that would require lots of scrambling if it was not pre-approved and coordinated by Trump.
@ 1:16:30 Brian Lupo says it was 30 minutes to be fair and then corrects @ 1:21:00. Bondi published at 9:09 pm and Trump at 9:07 pm – TWO MINUTES, which is very fast. Brian then reiterates the conversation that he and Reeves had before Alpha showed up. He says Trump specified the release is SUBJECT TO COURT APPROVAL and Grand Jury testimony is very confidential… Alpha: I think we will get another Rug Pull… or they might release a partial transcript [NOTICE either way it then transfers the ‘Black Eye’ TO the COURTS. 😉 GC]
Brian & Alpha then go into how they might fabricate Epstein evidence against Trump. Alpha notes they were surveilling Trump and could have matched times when Trump had no alibi with times when Epstein was not in public view.
A quick look at wether or not Alpha’s fabricating evidence idea is possible. Given what they did to General Flynn & Trump the first go round, we KNOW the FIB will fabricate evidence.
Epstein Arrests
In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused.[9] Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute…. Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York – Wiki

FISA Warrants
The FBI had surveilled Carter Page under a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant beginning in 2013 or 2014, on concerns that Russian intelligence was attempting to recruit him.[54][63] Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015, and Page joined his campaign on March 21, 2016.[64][65] After Michael Isikoff of Yahoo! News reported on September 23, 2016, that Page was being investigated by American intelligence for his contacts with Russian agents,[66] Page immediately left the Trump campaign, while two campaign spokesmen denied he had ever been a part of it.[67][68]
During the summer of 2016, the FBI applied for a warrant to conduct surveillance on four members of the Trump campaign, but this application was rejected by the FISA court as too broad.[69] On October 21, 2016, the FBI filed a new FISA warrant application for Page alone, expressing the FBI’s belief that the Russian government was collaborating with Page and possibly others associated with the Trump campaign,[70] and that Page had been the subject of targeted recruitment by Russian intelligence agencies.. — Wiki
There was also the Alfa-Bank mess and probably private detectives hired by the Hillary campaign.
…In July, BuzzFeed News reports that, from December 2014 to the summer of 2017, numerous suspicious money transfers were made between Paul Erickson’s accounts, including Wells Fargo Bank accounts, an undisclosed law firm, the NRA of America,[a] Jack Abramoff’s son Alex and Abramoff’s brother Robert’s company Landfair Capital Consulting, which was founded in March 2017, and Maria Butina’s Alfa-Bank account .[38] Investigators from Wells Fargo reported these suspicious money transfers to the United States Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and to the FBI.[38] — Wiki
Jack Abramoff
Jack Allan Abramoff is an American lobbyist, businessman, film producer, writer, and convicted criminal.[1][2] He was at the center of an extensive federal corruption investigation,[3] which resulted in his conviction and 21 others either pleading guilty or being found guilty,[4] including White House officials J. Steven Griles and David Safavian, U.S. Representative Bob Ney, and nine other lobbyists and congressional aides. — Wiki
Maria Butina
…her [Maria Butina] first known financial transaction with Erickson was much earlier than that. In December 2014, she sent a pair of wires from her Alfa Bank account to Erickson in the US. They totaled $8,000, and Butina noted they were for “grant assistant.” — BuzzFeed
NSA & American citizen unmasking
On June 6, 2017, Dennis Montgomery and his lawyer Larry Klayman, who founded both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, sued the FBI and its former director, James Comey.
Dennis Montgomery, a former US Intelligence contractor is suing James Comey and other government figures for covering-up evidence he provided them proving widespread surveillance and unmasking on more than 20 Million American citizens.
Circa is reporting that Montgomery says the evidence he gave to the FBI chronicle the warrantless collectionof phone conversations, bank records, financial data, credit reports, emails, Internet traffic, personal data and theunmasking of identities in spy data about millions of Americans.
This is consistent with public statements made by James Comey at the Boston Conference on Cyber Security at Boston College on March 8, 2017 that, “the 4th Amendment was a compromise for American sovereignty and that we the people have no right to privacy; and that even of thoughts belong to the government.”..
Artist Maria Farmer said she urged the FBI to look into people in the disgraced financier’s social circle, including the president…
Farmer and her younger sister Annie, who testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 sex trafficking trial, have spoken publicly about their ordeal with Epstein before. But her account now sheds light on how the Epstein files could contain material that is “embarrassing or politically problematic” to the president, the Times reports.
Farmer’s account is among “the clearest indications yet” of how Trump may appear in the Epstein files, the Times notes, though the White House disputed the alleged encounter…
Looks like the Trump Lawsuit against WSJ did not stop the Cabal from running with the newest Trump smear campaign. 🙄
I think this is what Trump was aiming for with his sting. Remember he has to have extraordinary reasons to unseal Grand Jury material.
IFFF Alpha is correct and they used ILLEGAL surveillance on Trump to determine when he was alone (family does not count) to match him up with Epstein… If salacious footage of Trump with an underaged girl is dropped AND you can prove it was manufactured using that surveillance information, then you CERTAINLY have a very nice RICO case. Unsealing the Epstein Grand Jury info could be very useful in showing the original material showed there was no evidence against Trump.
“POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.” [OBAMA]
Keep that line in mind when anyone talks about the FBI investigating former Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and beyond.
It’s what Lisa Page, former FBI lawyer, texted then-boyfriend FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok amid the 2016 campaign. We tend to dismiss Page as “Strzok’s girlfriend.” But she was far more than that. Comey’s deputy was Andrew McCabe. McCabe’s right hand was Page. What’s more, Page was the FBI’s White House liaison during the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump investigations. And her message to Strzok, a top soldier in the war against Trump: “POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.”
That president, of course, was Barack Obama. And he wasn’t talking about their canoodling. When Fox News broke the story last week about a criminal investigation into Brennan and Comey, its sources used the word “conspiracy.”
Reese in the Sitrep video above says they had to have CAUSE to fire M. Comey. He also says she badly fumbled the Diddy case but that is not enough reason to fire her. Misshandling–later changing the Epstein information in her care on the other hand certainly would be cause.
Wait, What? If There Was No Epstein Client List Then Why Did NY Court Refuse The Gateway Pundit’s Legal Request for the List Based on an Anonymous ‘John Doe’ Who Was On the List?
On Sunday night the Department of Justice and FBI released a document that concluded that notorious child predator Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he was not murdered but committed suicide.
The FBI released a video that shows an empty hallway in what they insist proves Epstein committed suicide.
This FIB and DOJ are doing good in other areas. On a different site, the names of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino can’t be mentioned without people denigrating all the law enforcement good they are doing and piling on with “What about Epstein?” We have a choice of whether to stay stuck in that mindset.
How important is it that we know more about Epstein, in the grand scheme of things? What good would come of it?
The FBI, under the direction of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is back to the basics: Locking up criminals, and cleaning up America’s streets. We have the Greatest Law Enforcement professionals in the World, but “Politics” and Corrupt Leadership often prevented them from doing their job. That is no longer the case, and now, they have been unleashed to do their jobs, and they are doing just that. Keep it up — MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! thefederalist.com/2025/06/16/a
If you listen to our podcast, I’ve said many times.
With Christoper Wray in charge, I wouldn’t doubt it if all the evidence seized on Epstein’s island never made it back to shore. They had plenty of time to destroy everything and probably did.
No way those snakes would just hand over the truth or any evidence to Trump’s team.
Friday, Wired Magazine ran an explosive story under a very carefully worded headline, “Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified.” It was a rookie mistake. The sub-headline cautiously clarified, “There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.”
@danbongino’s texts and emails regarding Epstein to Pam Bondi. My guess is that those exchanges will tell us everything we need to know.
Yesterday I learned about Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Now it’s Glenn Beck and Michael Flynn. They are all acting directly in contrast to what Pres. Trump has said, which tells me they don’t trust him to a) be just as vigilant as they are about prosecuting pedophiles, and b) know what’s in the best interest of the country. They are actively undermining him and can no longer be trusted, IMO.
Trump’s otherwise terrific sixth all-hands Cabinet meeting yesterday was eclipsed by the shadow of a dead pervert. Mid-day, Michelle texted me the short clip, saying only, “I don’t like this.” She meant she didn’t like how President Trump handled the Epstein question. I’ll give you my lawyer’s take.
First of all, it is already a dramatic improvement that a reporter was freely allowed to ask the unscripted question at all; under Biden, there wouldn’t have been any questions. I give Trump partial credit for jumping in and commenting.
Though the reporter’s delivery was awkwardly circuitous, he clearly asked Pam Bondi two critical questions: (1) Was Jeffrey Epstein an asset of any U.S. intelligence agency? (2) Why is a minute missing from the prison video outside Epstein’s cell? Neither question suggested any wrongdoing, cast blame, or even expressed skepticism.
Trump, with a quick apology to Bondi, immediately interrupted. Here’s his full answer, delivered with the kind of incredulous exasperation of a mom answering a curious child’s 100th repetitive question about how the Sun works right before saying, “from now on, ask your father”:
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy has been talked about for years. You are asking … we have taxes, this, and all of the things, and are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable. (To Bondi:) Do you want to waste the time? You feel like answering? (To reporter:) I cannot believe you are asking a question on Epstein on a time like this when we are having some of the greatest success, and also tragedy, with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration. (To Bondi:) You go ahead.”
Trump’s unexpectedly aggressive response rubbed Michelle the wrong way. And if you watch the clip, you’ll see what she meant when she said she didn’t like it. Trump comes off as uncharacteristically defensive; his delivery wildly overshot the mark. By labeling the two most often-asked questions on conservative social media “a desecration” unfairly implied that the questions themselves were transgressive— but desecration of what? Epstein’s sacred memory? It was a misstep.
Trump’s answer sounded too much like Hillary’s infamous response to the Benghazi disaster. At this point, what does it matter? Let’s move on.
🔥 My take is simpler. Trump wasn’t deflecting; he was protecting Pam Bondi, buying her a little time, and giving her an out. In other words, he made it possible for her to say, “I don’t want to waste time on that question.” His aggressive defense suggests that none of this was Pam’s idea. To Pam’s credit, she insisted on answering….
SD: “President Trump sent out a very strong message on Truth Social today. “[M]y PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump said. Adding, “I don’t want their support anymore!”
President Trump was then asked why he thought his supporters were so focused on the Jeffrey Epstein saga during an impromptu press conference.
Maurene Comey (fired yesterday, daughter of James Comey), was in charge of the Epstein case, the P-Diddy case, and the Ghislaine Maxwell case. And Sam Bankman-Fried.
What are the chances?
Maurene’s husband Lucas Issacharoff, still works for the DoJ (SDNY), as does James Comey’s son-in-law, Troy Edwards.
Told you, the Epstein shit was a distraction from link one, the trap is link 2
ALL MAGA business is coming DUE.
After all this time the STORM is HERE//SHOWTIME.
…..
The Badlands media group thinks the whole Epstein mess was scripted by POTUS as I outlined at the start. Think about it, the chances that the FIB files were tampered with by the DemonRats is close to 100%. So POTUS has that unsigned memo leaked. Chaos ensues until the DEMOCRATS call for the release of the Epstein files, KNOWING that the NY FIB tampered with them.

The Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the “blockbuster” story alleging a letter Trump wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday included some tawdry elements previously worked for Main Justice (his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio).
Main Justice was Glenn Simpson’s wife’s publication. Simpson founded Fusion GPS, which was paid by Hillary Clinton/the DNC (through Perkins Coie) to produce the Steele Dossier at the center of the Russian hoax against Trump.
Both Glenn Simpson and his wife, Mary Jacoby, worked for the Wall Street Journal before launching their own enterprises.
Want to dive even deeper? Mary’s daddy is Jon E.M. Jacoby. He’s a longtime executive at Stephens Investments in Little Rock. Guess who their attorney was? HRC, Rose Law. It’s a small world.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday embraced the FBI’s decision to open a conspiracy probe into a decade of alleged intelligence abuses and weaponized law enforcement, suggesting it could be led by a special prosecutor and even delve into “credible evidence” in the Jeffrey Epstein case in order to give Americans a greater dose of transparency and accountability. He also vowed to declassify two highly sensitive pieces of intelligence to help further the prosecutor’s efforts. […]
“It was a disgrace what happened, what happened in 2016 and what happened in 2020. It’s a disgraceful situation,” he said. “And our voting has to be straightened out. I always say if you don’t have borders, if you don’t have fair and free voting, you don’t have a country.”
Unprompted, Trump then volunteered on his own that a special prosecutor – if one is appointed by Justice – to look at weaponization could also delve into “anything credible” on Jeffrey Epstein and his files to make sure Americans have a full accounting. – Just the News
President Donald Trump said Thursday he would sue the Wall Street Journal and its owner over a new bombshell report [NEW??? You have to be kidding me! You mean newly manufactured. –GC] about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process of unsealing grand jury testimony in the disgraced financier’s criminal case.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” Trump said on social media, though it’s unclear that a judge would approve the request. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”…
Jeff Childers, since I wrote this has a new article that will make you smile.
…Yesterday, I covered the narrative-crushing New York Times interview with Epstein investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, which pushed the stuffing back in most of the Epstein conspiracy theories and ended observing Epstein could not have done his crimes without help (it also basically exonerated Trump). This morning the Times ran another bizarre story, at the top of the website, headlined, “What to Know About the Epstein Files, a Perfect Recipe for Conspiracy Theories.” The article begins, unsurprisingly enough, by highlighting the “loud, public crack in the president’s support system” that has —according to the Times— widened into “a chasm.” A narrative chasm that threatens to cause the Times’ liberal readers to expire from unrestrained joy. At first, the story seemed to be the traditional Democrat take, but then things started to get … weird.
First, tell me what you think of how the Times described Epstein’s death in prison:
The authorities say he hanged himself. Was the Times injecting a hint of skepticism about the official story?
The article picked itself up and continued merrily along with the usual corporate media take, invoking QAnon, Pizzagate, the X-Files, and other cue phrases designed to make self-anointed intellectual progressives titter like stoned hyenas. But then came another sly dash of cold water:
FBI files contain strange rumors and absurd speculation? Am I imagining things, or did the Times just throw cold water on demands for the “full file?” And right when liberals are demanding full transparency and Congressional Democrats are injecting “full file release” amendments into dam-repair bills?
Regular readers will recall our speculation last week that the FBI files are packed with poison pills deliberately making the “full file” useless and politically explosive at the same time. Now the Times seems to be tracking the same direction, pre-bunking the unreleased material…
We continue our review of Pennsylvania’s signers of the Declaration of Independence. First, let’s ask a couple of questions like which would be the better city to be called the “cradle of liberty” – Boston or Philadelphia?
A better question is what the heck happened to Philadelphia over the nearly 250 years since that point? The “city of brotherly love” has been anything but that for a very long time. However, in the development of our nation leading up to and immediately after the Revolutionary War, it really could be considered a cradle of liberty as well as the city of brotherly love. However, that is not the focus of this section.
To lead off today’s part I am giving my top five things I find interesting about Philly in no certain order.
Obviously in a series like this one we go first with Philly’s iconic symbol for freedom – the Liberty Bell.
Second, there another famous, important center and museum; the National Constitution Center.
The Declaration and Constitution are why we are here in this great country. The center is complete with a theater that shows Freedom Rising, life size statues of its signers, all sorts of multimedia exhibits as well as period artifacts. Cool place. Below is info about the center,
Third we have the home of famous trans swimmer, Lia Thomas. The University of Pennsylvania of Ivy League fame had origins as the College of Philadelphia during the incubation of the Independence movement as we know from past stories about other signers. Its founder and first president was B. Franklin, Printer. B had a new building completed for the Philadelphia Academy, the precursor school that eventually became Penn. He also put it to use for evangelical preacher George Whitefield to conduct revivals, focusing on the young people and students in the area.
Now, it is known internationally for encouraging women sports to be infested with sexual deviants and perverts. In the attempt they had their azzes handed to them by POTUS Trump; one of the school’s most famous alums as a 1968 graduate of their Wharton School with a B. S. in Economics, along with other members of his immediate family. Going woke has consequences. The patriot founding fathers that attended the school are probably trying to dig out of their graves and handle the restoration of Penn the same way they handled the Brits.
Could not resist using the mug shot.
😂
Fourth, we watch the most iconic modern day Philly scene ever!
For what it is worth, the building in the background is the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Below is a good primer if you ever decide to visit.
Finally, the most important culinary gift Philly has given to America is shown below.
B approves…
Enough with the preliminaries, it is on with the show. We focus on one of the “big dogs” (like B) of the patriot founding fathers.
Robert Morris
We need to spend some time digging into the life of the founding father who is referenced as the “Financier of the American Revolution”, Robert Morris. He is one of the few who signed the Declaration, Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. However, this story will be like a roller coaster ride at times and I am only hitting some of the primary information and events. Readers may want to look at any number of articles on the web that provide more detail as he was involved in so many activities that it would take too long to summarize them all here.
Morris was born in 1734 and raised for his first thirteen years in Liverpool, England. He was the child of Robert Morris, Sr. and mother, Elizabeth. Elizabeth died when he was two years old. He was raised by his maternal grandmother and his father immigrated to America in 1738 to work as a tobacco sales agent. At age fourteen, young Robert left to join his father in America in Oxford, MD. Morris, Sr. became very successful and was the author of a tobacco inspection law to reduce fraud that passed against strong opposition. He was known to be the first to keep his accounts in money as compared to the usual gallons, pounds, etc.
Upon young Morris’ arrival in 1748, he was tutored for a year by local minister, William Gordon. He soon left to live with a friend of his father’s in Philadelphia where he apprenticed in the merchant shipping business of wealthy Charles Willing as a clerk. When his father died in 1750, he was alone with no family in America at the age of sixteen. The death of his father was bizarre as described below from the Descendants site:
“In 1750 Robert Morris, Sr. gave a dinner party on board one of the ships of the company. As he left the ship in a small boat, a farewell salute was fired from the ship and wadding from the shot burst through the side of the boat and severely injured him. As a result of the accident, he died of blood poisoning on July 12, 1750.“
Young Robert continued his work there and was promoted up the ranks until becoming a full partner in 1757 with Charles Willing’s son, Thomas. Through the years Morris became wealthy and one of the most respected citizens in Philly. In 1769 at age 35 he married 20 year old Mary White, the daughter of a wealthy lawyer and land owner. They soon had the first of seven children together, which included future Congressman Thomas Morris. They worshipped at Anglican Christ Church in Philly with Benjamin Franklin. However, that did not prevent Robert from fathering a daughter, Polly, out of wedlock in 1763. However, he provided for her well into adulthood as he did a young son of his father’s, a half brother.
He served with Benjamin Franklin in the Pennsylvania State Assembly in 1775. He was then chosen to be a representative to the Continental Congress and as a member in the Secret Committee, which was assigned to procure weapons and munitions. He also served on the Committee of Secret Correspondence, which attempted to secure alliances with foreign nations. His shipping company was used frequently by the Congress. It is interesting to note that Morris was not in favor of independence until forced to making a decision AFTER its approval to sign the document. He did not vote at all. He feared the result may be anarchy and preferred reconciliation with Great Britain if they would back down from their oppressive tax acts. After Declaration approval he chose to sign and from that point on gave all of his support to the cause for independence.
He left public service in 1779 after accusations of misconduct only to return at the request of Congress to be the nation’s Superintendent of Finance, a role he held from 1781 to 1784. After the non-founded accusations, he had two demands that needed to be met for him to return and take the role. The first was he was to be given unilateral authority to dismiss any treasury employee. The second was he would be able to maintain his merchant relationships while in service to the country. His value was affirmed when Congress agreed to both conditions. In the same time frame he was made Agent of Marine, which gave him control of the Continental Navy.
He then set sights on doing what needed to be done to improve the finances of the developing nation that was hamstrung by debts of war. He informed Washington that he would do all he could to make sure the funding was available. His optimism was met by reluctant state governments. He was able to get all but Rhode Island to agree to taxation. Under the rules of the Articles of Confederation he needed all states to agree to his request, so the effort died.
As a result he focused his efforts on creating a national bank to help address the lack of funds. He was able to get Congress to agree in 1781 and he opened it in 1782. It was a privately owned bank, funded by subscribers, and regulated by investors. It provided a means to use the invested capital to improve access to funding government debt. He sought a national mint for a central currency, but that was postponed by Congress.
It was Robert Morris who recommended to Washington that Alexander Hamilton take the role over the treasury when he was ready to leave. It was Hamilton who went on to establish the national bank and mint that Morris promoted years before. The respect between the two was awesome, but even that was not more than the incredible intelligence and analytical abilities with regards to the Treasury and the situation with the young nation. Below is a letter written from Hamilton to Morris in 1781. It is long, detailed, and covers a myriad of subjects that interrelate with the Treasury role from the period. If you really want to understand the depth of intelligence and commitment within these founding fathers as well as many others, read it.
The valediction of the letter describes the mentoring and advising relationship well in my opinion.
“I have spun out this letter to a much greater lenght than I intended. To develope the whole connection of my ideas on the subject and place my plan in the clearest light I have indulged myself in many observations which might have been omitted. I shall not longer intrude upon you[r] patience than to assure you of the sincere sentiments of esteem with which I have the honor to be Sir Your most Obedient and humble servant
Alx Hamilton
April 30th. 81″
In his time Morris totally reorganized the treasury. He appointed tax collectors for each state who would prepare monthly financial reports and publish them in the newspapers for the public to see and keep pressure on the state governments. All of his work also helped build trust with foreign allies and those who provided products and services to the government during the war period.
Despite all of his good works for America, however, he began to make unwise decisions with his personal investment choices. While still in his treasury role in 1782 he began speculating on land purchases with John Nicholson, the comptroller of the state along with James Greenleaf, the former American consul to the Dutch Republic. They purchased millions of acres without any buyers or plans to repay loans. Over the years the debts increased while Morris also chose to build an opulent mansion for he and his family in Philly in the 1790’s. It was never completed and the cost contributed to his insolvency. The locals called it “Morris’s folly” as a representation of his downfall. His businesses and excessive land deals all began failing at the same time. It was like dominoes falling for years.
By 1798 patriot Declaration signer, Robert Morris, was sentenced to debtor’s prison. A fall from grace brought on primarily by pride, greed, and extravagance. Two years later a modified bankruptcy law was passed through the efforts of Thomas Jefferson and supporters. Morris was released and tried to return to business ventures without success as his reputation had been ruined.
In 1806 he passed away, a shell of his former self and in poverty. He is buried in the Christ Church cemetery. His wife lived until 1827 and survived on an annuity that had been provided to her through the efforts of Gouverneur Morris from a land sale.
Conclusion
Robert never went to school and was only tutored for one year, but his devotion to the education of citizens earned him the honor of having three elementary schools, a college, and a university named after him. His statue is located not only in DC at the mall, but near the Second National Bank in Philly. He and Mary’s friendship was so important to George and Martha Washington that they were frequently honored guests of theirs through the years. John Adams had the following to say about Robert’s time in the Continental Congress,
“I think he has a masterly understanding, an open temper, and an honest heart…He has vast designs in the mercantile way. And no doubt pursues mercantile ends, which are always gain, but he is an excellent member of the body.”
Again, the Robert Morris story goes far beyond what is provided here and there are many life lessons for all of us. There was his ownership of slaves for a time that led to his opposition to slavery as he aged; his contribution of ships to the Naval efforts and the named ships in his honor over the years that followed; how his enemies helped cause his debt downfall after he left public office that traced back to his work for the patriot cause in the Secret Committee; and so on.
It is a story of the highest highs and lowest lows. Of being feted by the first couple Washingtons to being drug through the muck by personal enemies and into poverty. He was praised and honored and then later in life labeled a fool by some of the very people who partially owed their independence to his personal efforts. He adhered to Christianity, yet fell to temptation outside the bounds of marriage. When faced with the result he did the honorable thing as well as when he took care of his much younger half brother when his father died. He held great position, status in society for a time, and was very successful in business; but it was not enough as he foolishly sought even more riches using huge sums of debt well beyond his capacity to repay. This caused great hardship and damaged his reputation as well as the futures of his wife and children.
None of the negative events and challenges he faced changes the truth that Robert Morris was a faithful patriot that provided great things to the Independence and establishment of our nation. Today, we proudly celebrate him as a founding father of America.

Light Conquers Darkness
The opening verses of John’s Gospel introduce us to Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God. John wants his readers to know that Jesus is fully God in human form. John then reveals the purpose of God coming to earth as a human: “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:4–5). Jesus Christ came to bring the light of God’s life into a spiritually dark and dying world.
In Genesis, the creation of light was God’s first creative move (Genesis 1:3). In the process of generating life, light was God’s initial instrument for illuminating the dark and formless void. It was the inaugural instance of God shining light in the darkness.
When John spoke of the Incarnation, he was echoing the creation account. Scripture tells us over and again that God is the source of life and light: “For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see” (Psalm 36:9, NLT; see also Acts 17:28; Psalm 27:1). “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Jesus Christ is God’s light sent down to earth to pierce through the darkness. That light is God’s life, both physical and eternal. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die” (John 11:25; see also John 14:6). The life within Christ is the life of God: “For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself” (John 5:26).
The Bible tells us that the life of Christ serves as a light to all people. That life is the light of truth—the message of Christ’s salvation and eternal life with God: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11). The brilliance of Christ’s life and truth shine like a light into the darkness of this world.
In the New Testament, light and darkness are common symbols of good and evil. It’s clear that light in John 1:5 represents life, and ultimately, eternal life with God in His heavenly kingdom. Darkness is the absence of light—the lack of God. It represents the power of evil, sin, and unbelief in this world, all of which lead to eternal death (John 3:19; Job 10:22; 38:15; 1 Samuel 2:9).
John continues to focus on the theme of light and darkness throughout his gospel. In John 8:12, Jesus proclaims to the people, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life” (NLT). John 1:5 says the darkness “has not overcome” the light because evil cannot overpower Jesus Christ, who states, “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness” (John 12:46).
Jesus declared that those who believe in the light become sons and daughters of the light: “Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light” (John 12:36, NLT). According to the apostle Paul, Christians have passed from darkness into light: “For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!” (Ephesians 5:8, NLT).
By loving one another, believers shine light into the darkness: “Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them” (1 John 2:8–11).
The nature of light is to shine, and darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Just as a bright street lamp discourages criminal mischief at night, so the light of Christ dispels the darkness of sin in the world. Just as the first rays of dawn pierce the blackness of night, God’s light and truth carry spiritual awakening to darkened hearts.
The light shines in the darkness means Jesus Christ has come into the world, bringing the good news of God’s salvation to every person. As Isaiah foretold, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” (Isaiah 9:2). The life of Jesus, which is the life of the Creator God Himself, is the light of the world. No power of darkness can defeat or snuff out this light (Matthew 16:18; John 16:33).
Jesus is the giver of life and bearer of light. The Son of God continues to shine His light to humankind through His church, the body of Christ (Philippians 2:15). Whoever believes in Him receives eternal life (John 3:15; see also Psalm 112:4). xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/the-light-shines-in-the-darkness.html
We should all remember Deplorable Patriot and Wheatie as we push forward with the fight. This is NOT over by any means.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Because JUSTICE must be served on those who foisted the “Vax” shit on us. And for all the other things they have done to this country.
“Don’t Tread On Me,” it says. You failed to pay attention to this advice. You went out of your way to do the opposite. You chose to rub our faces in it, imprison those who dared complain, and even to kill our people. Now you shall pay just a tiny fraction of the real price, Ratfuckers.
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
RINO scum. Like Murkowski and Collins.
That’s OK. We go around ’em for now.
January 6 Tapes Reminder
OK…I’m sick and tired of reminding you to no effect, Speaker Johnson, so I’ll do the more emotionally satisfying thing and call you a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit.
Johnson, you are a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit!
A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights 2. No running with scissors. 3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone. 4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns. 5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded. 5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty. 6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks to the disaster of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they had injected into their body.
There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for any AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is one AI-generated image in The Focal Points article, cited below. If readers wish to add any AI-generated content to the discussion thread for today’s offering, they must cite their source. Thank you.
The phrase to keep in mind when reading today’s post is: Follow the money.
Today’s post begins here: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/fda-commits-grave-betrayal-fully, “FDA Commits Grave Betrayal: Fully Approves Deadly Genetic Injections for Infants”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 11 July 2025. There is an embedded video interview with Mr. Hulscher in this article. This article and interview regard the FDA “full approval” on 10 July 2025 of the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, SPIKEVAX, to be used on infants and young children from age 6 months to 11 years old. A screenshot of a portion of the Table 2. from this article is below, showing the amounts of “loose” DNA in this “vaccine”:
Yours Truly now turns to a crucial component of the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” situation: the “tied to the hip” relationship that this company has with the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), part of the NIH (National Institutes of Health.) Both the NIAID and the NIH are institutes of the federal government Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) Katherine Watt, of Bailiwick News, has studied and written about the “coziness” between Big Pharma entities such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna with federal government agencies, such as the FDA. Please see: https://bailiwicknews.substack.com/p/why-pfizer-and-moderna-and-fda-are, “Why Pfizer and Moderna and FDA are working toward government authorization to inject babies and small children”, 23 March 2022. Ms. Watt includes a statement made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in 2021, on this situation. Please see: https://wsau.com/2021/12/31/robert-f-kennedy-jr-explains-why-fauci-is-going-after-children/, by Meg Ellefson, 31 December 2021. A screenshot from the Bailiwick News article on this is below:
There are SEC filings and “Confidential Agreements” between Moderna, the FDA. and the NIAID, regarding the funding and development of mRNA “vaccines.” There are patent co-ownership and revenue-sharing agreements between Moderna and the NIAID. There is a Moderna – NIH Confidential Agreement that goes back to 2015.
By the way, milestone payments would include payments for items such as, developing the “latest version” of a COVID-19 modRNA “vaccine” — for examples: the Moderna (SPIKEVAX) “2025-2026 COVID-19 Formula Vaccine” that was just “recommended” by the ACIP committee of the CDC; and, the FDA “full approval” of SPIKEVAX being used on infants and young children age 6 months to 11 years old, which “full approval” was granted on 10 July 2025. It appears that Moderna had attempted to “modify” or “avoid” certain types of sharing agreements stipulations, royalty payments to the HHS (via the NIAID), and HHS – Moderna co-owned patents agreements; and, for which, the company was taken to court by the HHS. The decision was rendered against Moderna, with an order to make a multi-million dollar “catch-up payment” to HHS -NIAID.
Now, to the 2015 “Confidential Agreements” between Moderna and the NIH. The document is found here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6935195-NIH-Moderna-Confidential-Agreements/, November 2015. This document has numerous “amendments” and “additions” that go through the year 2018 — and, the last of which appears to “cover” all items related to COVID-19 “vaccines”. On page 16 of the document, with special attention to page 19, start the CRADA stipulations (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement stipulations between Moderna and the NIH.) The language here has numerous Proprietary Information redactions; however, it appears to be broad enough to cover the later co-ownership by Moderna and the NIH of the SPIKEVAX patents and their Expiry Dates (more on these below.)
Here are page 19 and a portion of page 20 of the NIH/NIAID and Moderna CRADA agreement, below:
Recall that the director of the NIAID in 2015 was Dr. Anthony Fauci; and, the director of the NIH in 2015 was Dr. Francis Collins.
Page 41 of this document names the “partners” that will be included in the agreements: DARPA; BARDA; and, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Page 43 of this document details the SPIKEVAX patents and Expiry Dates that will be co-owned by Moderna and the NIH. A screenshot of this page is below:
There is also a “vaccine mechanisms” series of sections in this agreement. A screenshot of one of these sections is below:
And, there is a section regarding the “Drug Design Studio” section of the SEC document. Please see the screenshot from this section, below:
On 7 July 2025, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., cancelled the 10 July meeting that was scheduled for the USPSTF committee of the HHS (United States Preventive Services Task Force committee.) If Sec. Kennedy, Jr., can do this, why can’t he do something to modify / rescind / cancel the NIH / NIAID – Moderna “Confidential Agreements”, the related royalty-sharing payments agreements, and the 31 December 2022 SEC filing? Is it because of the “SPIKEVAX Patents and Expiry Dates” agreement, the screenshot of which from the SEC filing is above, and which runs, in total, until 22 October 2041? Are his hands tied? “Inquiring minds want to know.”
FLASH ADDENDUM: Our good Gail Combs asked to have the following added to today’s offering, regarding the development of a new BLACK PLAGUE strain variation that was just done by scientist in Israel. Yours Truly is also adding another item related to other work developing BLACK PLAGUE strain variations.
ISRAELI scientists have just developed an mRNA-based BLACK PLAGUE (Yersinia Pestis, or Y. Pestis) vaccine, using a lab-modified gene and adding N1-Methylpseudouridine as the lipid nanoparticle “delivery system.” Please see: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/cp/168494356, “Israel Engineers Mutant Plague — Puts Its Genes in mRNA Shot That Makes Human Cells Produce Virulence and Immune-Evasion ‘Black Death’ Proteins: Journal ‘Advanced Science'”, 16 July 2025. This is the “BLACK PLAGUE version” of the modRNA + N1-Methylpseudouridine COVID-19 “vaccines” — except that the “payload” is a lab-created genetically altered and more virulent version of the BLACK PLAGUE.
Recall that Yours Truly has written extensively about the mechanism of the N1-Methylpseudouridine used in the Pfizer-BioNTech and in the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (there’s the connection to Moderna.) This lab-created compound ingredient replaces the natural Uridine in the COVID-19 “vaccinated” person’s body, kicking the door wide open for catastrophic immune system evasion by said “vaccine”: evasion that will occur throughout the body and also the brain. The connection to both Moderna and to Pfizer-BioNTech in regards the use of N1-Methylpseudouridine is that BOTH companies specifically included this lab-created chemical compound in their modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, the description of which inclusion IS IN THE PATENT DOCUMENTS THAT WERE FILED BY EACH COMPANY. This begs the question: Did the Israeli scientists pay either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna for the “rights” to use this compound IN THEIR BLACK PLAGUE VARIATION “VACCINE” EXPERIMENTS?
The peer-reviewed paper that is referred to in the Jon Fleetwood article is here: https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202501286, “Novel Bivalent mRNA-LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection Against Pneumonic Plague”, Dan Peer, et al., 25 April 2025. A screenshot from the Fleetwood article is below:
But wait, there’s more! The Fleetwood article links to a paper published in 2024 regarding research by the United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center in Gunpowder, Maryland, ALSO on lab-creating a variation of the BLACK PLAGUE. This variation was “cultured” in a “bath” of Escherichia coli (E. coli, the same type of “culturing material” that is used by both Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna to produce their respective modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” The paper is here: https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0.000723.v3, “Towards a Yersinia Pestis lipid A recreated in an Escherichia coli scaffold genome”, Nathan D. McDonald, Erin E. Antoshak, 17 July 2024. A screenshot of the Abstract of this paper is below:
In Yours Truly’s opinion: The entire “let’s make a lab-created RNA + lipid nanoparticle vaccine” situation is out of control. The entire “let’s alter a gene or two from a deadly infectious disease and make a variation of this disease” situation is out of control.
With this part and the next we will follow our article on Benjamin Franklin and go deeper into the lives of other patriot founding fathers that were from the Keystone State of Pennsylvania. The Keystone name originated from its geographic location in the center of the 13 colonies as well as from its “key” contributions to the economic, political and social fabric of our young nation. Its location touches the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast Appalachia, and Great Lakes regions. As a result it has been multi-cultural and diverse since it was given in a royal land grant to William Penn in 1681.
To say it has been the site of American history in all of its glory, rage and everything in between is an understatement. Pennsylvania has been the seed planter of this great nation in Independence Hall as well as a literal and figurative battlefield from the 1700’s through today, especially with its political theatrics. Yet, when it was first settled it was considered to be a peaceful colony with settlers coexisting well with native American Indian tribes as well people from other nations such as Sweden, Germany (the Pennsylvania Dutch), and others who had major influences on the area.
Just a note at this point; I refuse to use the woke term “indigenous peoples” in reference to our native American Indian fellow citizens. It is historically inaccurate. Treaties, land grants, legal documents, Congressional records, etc. that were executed and referenced with the native American Indians in the development of our nation all state the term “Indian” in it. I have some Appalachian Cherokee blood running through my veins. I am not going to play the word games of the leftists. Right or wrong, God can judge, this world has always worked on the ancient Roman adage of, “To the victor goes the spoils.” The idgits who want to play the victims and reparations games can go pound sand.
It was into this great melting pot of people with patriot and loyalist blood in their veins that liberty was seeded. Pennsylvania’s prominent place in our nation’s history will be forever noted. I will not delve into its history as it would take too long for this series. The links below should help those who desire to know more. First there is a good bullet point style summary,
Now on to the next Declaration signer from the Keystone State.
George Clymer
George Clymer is a founder that many know very little about, yet, was one of the more important.
Clymer was born in Philly in 1739 and was orphaned at age seven. He was apprenticed to his maternal aunt and uncle. They were childless and agreed to raise, educate, and train young George into their merchant occupations. His uncle was also a friend of Benjamin Franklin. George received no formal education, but loved to read and learn. His grandfather left him some wealth in his will at age eleven. George continued working in the family business and became its accountant. He used his wealth to start his own trading business with his uncle’s blessing in 1759. When his uncle passed away he left the family business to George and with it, more wealth.
He married his wife, Elizabeth Meredith, in 1765. She was the daughter of the second wealthiest merchant in Pennsylvania. The couple went on to have nine children together with five surviving. One adult son later died in the Whiskey Rebellion. They were of the Episcopalian faith, which caused Elizabeth’s disownment by her family as they were Quakers.
George was a strong early backer of the independence movement. He served on Philadelphia’s Committee of Safety and was soon elected to serve its Common Council for six years. He was appointed a justice of the peace and later, an associate justice of the City Court despite not having a law degree. During the 1760’s he became even more involved in the patriot movement by authoring articles and pamphlets, leading a boycott of the Townshend Act, and adding his name to a 400 merchant public signing of the anti-importation stance against the Stamp Act. He was opposed by Quakers and loyalists who preferred a more conciliatory approach to Great Britain. He had great opposition to his adamant support for independence from the majority of citizens in the area, yet, they respected him so much he continue to ascend politically.
In 1773 he visited Boston in search of medical assistance for a chest ailment. While there he met and became good friends with John Quincey, an attorney who along with John Adams successfully defended the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre trials. Quincey was a big backer of Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This only encouraged Clymer more and he became an ardent supporter of the patriots in Boston.
He was very successful in his businesses in the Philly area and being popular was elected as a representative to the Second Continental Congress. After signing the Declaration of Independence he resigned in 1777. He remained there and ran his businesses during the ensuing battles in the area and the move of Congress until they could safely return. He was very generous with his wealth in his support of the military and other needs. At a crucial time during this period with funds low for the military, he and other local business leaders chartered the Pennsylvania Bank to assist in the effort. It served as a model for a national bank envisioned by Alexander Hamilton later. During the period he contributed to the war effort by serving on the Board of War and Treasury Board.
A few years later he was elected to the Philadelphia legislature where he served until he was requested to go to the southern states to increase manpower subscription for military and government service as well as soliciting funding. He returned to take part as a representative to the Constitutional Congress. In so doing he became one of only six who signed both the Declaration and the Constitution.
Clymer was a devoted Federalist and key supporter of Washington and his efforts. Washington called him into service in national financial roles as needed. He was also sent to Georgia to negotiate a treaty with the Creek and the Seminole as he had good relationships with native Indians. This resulted in peaceful relations with America and a move by the tribes away from the Spanish trading influence in Florida. He also did a mission to the Cherokees to improve relations in 1796.
He continued holding political office and running his businesses until his death in 1813. Elizabeth died two years later. They had been married 47 years. As a man of strong opinions he had an admirable way of relating to those with different perspectives that created harmony. As a result, despite his Episcopal faith and Elizabeth being disowned from her Quaker family, he was buried in a Quaker cemetery in Trenton, NJ. However, Elizabeth’s burial site is unknown and she is unlikely to have been buried by her husband.
For someone with zero formal education who had been orphaned as a child, George Clymer became a brilliant businessman, politician, judge, patriot, husband and father. He had one quote that stood out to me as it is applicable for our current times, which means it was applicable during his days over two centuries ago.
“A printer publishes a lie: for which he ought to stand in the pillory, for the people believe in and act upon it.”
Yup, fake news was influencing even back then. Fortunately, a growing majority of citizens do not fall for their garbage today. However, the sentiment is still applicable in regards to the use of the pillory against them as it might be appropriate as retribution.
