As many of you know my wife works in the operating room at a major Boston Hospital. It’s incredible how leftist employees, you know the ultra tolerant, must bleed their political emotions into the work place. My wife is not one to run to the office and complain about blatant biases being spewed by uncontrollable Trump deranged psychopaths, she handles it in her own sledgehammer fashion. But this, as many conflicts, shouldn’t be left for an employee to have to deal with. Bias, any bias, racial, gendered or political is a problem and believe me it’s a challenge for hospital management in this disciplined workplace. I’ve watched for decades, management does not want to deal with these types of problems.
All conservatives and for that matter all of America has had to deal with these bigoted political biases from the insane TDS left throughout the reign of Obama, Joe Biden and as we see it is only escalating.
Leftists are defined by their rude arrogant intimidation tactics, they’re psychological bullies. They push their liberal mental disorder agenda onto everyone around them, workplace or no workplace. It’s incredible to see these extremely educated coordinators and managers with much less OR experience than my wife come up against a tough 40 year experienced nurse with unique work and life experiences.
Not sure if you’ve heard but the democrats are having a big conference today on how they are going to get rid of Trump. So here we are again, another treasonous futile plot to take down a duly elected president with their lies. They can’t accept the will of the people or the 2024 election results, they are the real election deniers. They are incapable of living in an American style free society. Notice and as usual, they have no plan to help Americans get ahead. They have no plans or ideas to fund Homeland Security. They have no ideas or plans to make things better for their constituents, they only have hate filled plans to tear America in half again and burn America to the ground again as good communists do. God is watching, shame on all of you. J.Goodrich
My wife is also an RN here in NJ but “only” has 30 years and it’s the same here. It has made me shape up and get serious about keeping my health. Staying out of any hospital is number one on the list for a hopeful long life.
What makes them especially loathsome is through 4 D presidents, 4 R presidents (5 R if you count Trump twice), 47 years of Iran/islamists threatening America and our ally, Israel, killing Americans, our servicemen, theirs, threatening with and only a short time left to assemble a nuclear bomb/missile, a "clear and present " danger existing — democrats have but one thought on what they euphemistically call their minds: impair/impeach/remove the only POTUS who has taken steps to minimize the danger to, facilitate the safety of Americans; in fact, the last two D presidents entered into agreements with Iran/the Islamists that lubricated their ability to develop and deliver upon their threat to nuke Israel and US. Personally, if that isn’t treasonous activity it should be grounds to remove all benefits they have from being POTUS and removing them from the historical record.
That’s it in a “nut shell”!!! I sure hope some people wake up & begin to realize, or, hey see what President Trump has accomplished for America & the people! But, I feel the lunatic movement is on the rise unfortunately. Maybe I need to pack my bags for a Moon trip? LOL…:)!!
These days, I think I would rather see them if I have a medical problem. The may not be able to help the condition but their licks would make me feel better.
Never was a clearer line drawn in the sand than when Trump invited anyone who believed their one & only job was to serve Americans to stand & all the Dems remained seated. They (& unfortunately too many others) are all about power- or what they think is power. I know this wish is fruitless, but I would just love it if I could say to all of them, you have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Trump & he is still standing- what does tell you?
Every now and then I think about having to go the hospital, and I get a shiver up my spine. I imagine some narcissistic healthcare worker making TikTok videos while I'm under anesthesia, sticking me with something I've desperately tried to avoid, because I deserve it, because they had to take it and so should I.
"Leftists are defined by their rude arrogant intimidation tactics, they’re psychological bullies. They push their liberal mental disorder agenda onto everyone around them, workplace or no workplace." This describes a visitor coming our way in May. (ackk yikes!) Im sorry your wife has to deal with that at a hospital of all places.

Yes, shameful attitudes & actions of Democrats, & this TDS has definitely escalated to a point of disgusting humans that will not take any steps to calm down, & realize how bad they have been, & now continue on such a disastrous path. I can’t imagine what your wife goes through during her shift(s), & I feel horrible she has rude & disrespectful people she must be dealing with. I have always felt it takes a special person to work in a hospital, taking care of those who need hospital care, or during surgery; those individuals have the love to be there because they decided to help others; they are compassionate, dedicated & highly trained to help those in need. I have been on the other side, & have never had to deal with rude & disrespectful hospital staff during my time hospitalized. Yes, God is watching & listening.
Another great collection, but the human vagina protestors' claiming POTUS to be psycho is priceless. Human Lemmings have the wherewithal to follow, but those two ???
Ya’know, keeping in line with a previous commenter and one of the panels, me thinks had the two ladies been adorned with nose rings, they might’a been wearing some almost anatomically correct genital jewelry.
Staying in the same, sort’a, motif, wasn’t there a panel some weeks/months ago with someone in a penis costume? Makes me wonder, since the occupant of the faux phallic get up was a female (maybe 🤷♀️), just another sign that the left slope of society gets confused even with their costumes - d’ya think it possible the faux phallus was occupied by an unnamed SCOTUS member — oops, not MEMBER, that might be misconstrued 🙄 , JUSTICE!
The bread video is terrible. My grandson as I have said before can’t eat store bought commodities made with flour. But he can eat my homemade breads and cookies etc made with organic flour. He has an autoimmune disease called Addison’s disease. He was diagnosed with it at age 14. Which is unusual.
The girl with the nose ring reminds me of our old bull with the ring in its nose.
Please forgive my inquiry, but did he receive an HPV vaccine prior to onset? Our daughter developed severe, painful Raynaud’s afterwards, and it was only in retrospect that we recognized the vaccine injury. Risk of autoimmunity is now documented.
My Daughter learned to make homemade sour dough bread, as I can’t eat manufactured bread, & my Grand daughters also don’t eat any bread from the grocery store. We don’t know if any of the vaccines could be the root cause- but sour dough is the bread of choice now. Both of my grand daughters, & my daughter, have Excema & we feel vaccines caused it.
Over the past 6 years the lines have been clearly drawn to either willingly take in podcasts or posts or the opposite, disconnect from them. The key is truth, conservatives long for the truth. We know without the truth the wrongs will not be made right, we will get no change. Even with the facts being brought out, people may have been driven from their jobs, but still no one has paid a price, no one has been brought to justice.
When someone automatically goes to name calling or saying maybe this show is not for you, or the tried and true “you’re a nazi”, “you’re a racist”, or “you’re a fascist”, I immediately look at that person with a critical eye, and think they have lost the argument. In most cases, at that point, I just turn them off for good.
In the type of system we live in, a republic, it’s our responsibility to question and be critical, to not believe everything they say, especially after all the lies we’ve been told. It’s become so in your face that government and people of wealth and power could care less about thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people becoming sick or worse dying, you’d have to be a mushroom not to see it. They are open about their distain for us, their elite persona that the middle class and the poor are their worthless pawns.
People like myself want to listen or read others that are genuine, truthful and have integrity. This is why I’ve been here for over 4 years. In these times a good gauge is when we see people that were willing to put their necks on the chopping block to tell you the truth in a story, chances are there’s something there. All of the Covid “conspiracy theories” turned out to be true, and we knew it. The people like yourselves Drs. Malone that stepped forward to protect peoples rights even at the risk of harming your own career are people we can count on. I question all people that had no discernment about this. Maybe it’s the money, maybe it was the prestigious job, I don’t know, maybe they are just pure evil. What I do know is my appetite for news, entertainment and who I spend my time listening to is based on people I believe are truthful and genuine.
Covid should have taught everyone to not take for granted what the mainstream is putting on the table. Just look at the viewership of liberal cable news networks and newspapers, they are dying on their poisoned lying vine. The real reason the Soviet Union fell was that the large majority of Russians stopped believing all the governments lies. Personally I’m sick and tired of constantly being lied to. J.Goodrich
As noted before, have a friend (?) with TDS who regularly tries ferociously to grind me into the dirt. The latest communication is I'm enthusiastically loved. She's in the process of cataract surgeries. Have been reassuring and extolling good of seeing. The sickness bears curious fruits.
I tried statins 5 yrs ago for 6 wks. Took CoQ10 & selenium to try to offset the known side effects but nope: Left leg soon began constant ache in muscles, then foggy brain...but last straw was the digestive issues: 9 times in 42 minutes one morning. Contacted Dr that day who confirmed quit taking immediately. Read "A Statin Nation" by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, and will never take them again.
Have and continue to decline statins. Tried. Severe leg pain and depression. Reading opposition to them now. If they encourage cataract formation all the more reason to carefully consider. The lady herself knows everything about everything. With surgery behind her (and myself for that matter), its now a mute topic.
I listened 2x, once with expensive earbuds - I still don’t know what they were making with that cow in the picture.
Could not watch the satire video about bread making all the way thru - too painful; it’s one of the reasons the bulk of my bread contains only 3 ingredients: flour I mill myself, water from my well (sometimes purified) and salt. I have a half dozen or more berries from which to choose which means I never have to eat the same bread twice - but I do 😉, esp during the development phase. Also, bread made in January isn’t necessarily the same as bread crafted in July.
Do leftists (democrats, but i doth repeat meself) ever listen to what they said yesterday, or even last week or year; AND
Why does a human w/o a penis, who testified before Congress and the nation, under oath, that it can’t even define its own gender/sex, get to decide on matter before the highest court that involve matters of sex, gender or anything that requires intelligence⁉️
Somebody tried to key that saucer in the Waffle House parking lot for taking up two spaces. But that material must be some kind of new space age tech, because the vandal, reportedly a disgruntled Alpha Centaurian, was unable to make a mark on it.
And what is that last image supposed to be? A banana peel?
One thing I have noticed is that if you mention getting rid of the electronic voting machines and requiring photo ID on many sites...including some so called Conservative sites...your post will be taken down. Until those dastardly machines are gone, we will never be able to trust the results of an election again.
maybe it is a one step at a time approach. Maybe, perhaps, after we learn if Maduro really did sing like a canary, spill the beans on what he knows or has about election fraud and Dominion, et al. Maybe, perhaps Trump will then make the democrats beg for the machines to go away before the 2028 election or sooner. just a thought
I wonder if there is a Paper Trail regarding federal state and local election outcomes PREVIOUS to and POST electronic voting machines of the win ratio by Democrats?
Speaking of birthright citizenship, also known as birth tourism, it appears as if China is even more guilty of this than Mexico (or any other country, for that matter). According to the book I am currently reading ("The Invisible Coup" - How American Elites & Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, by Peter Schweizer), "In 2012, one non-profit estimated that about 36,000 foreign-born women gave birth in the United States & then left the country". An Australian professor, Salvator Babones, estimates that 100,000 Chinese babies are being born U.S. citizens every year. And...the majority head right back to China. Chapter 5 of this book, "China: The Manchurian Generation" is especially revealing (& disturbing). If you want to know what is really going on in regard to birthright citizenship, I highly recommend this book.
Coincidently, the current issue of Imprimus, the monthly publication by Hillsdale College, is on this very subject. The March/April 2026 issue, Volume 55, Number 3/4 is titled, "Are We Subjects or Citizens? Birthright Citizenship & The Constitution", by Edward Erler. It can be found at: imprimus.hillsdale.edu
The RED TSUNAMI "THE SILENT STORM KILLING YOUR FREEDOM" By T. Casey Fleming (2026) has data on Chinese women's LONGTIME gambit of COLONIZING the U.S. via giving birth on American soil -then returning - with newborn AMERICAN CITIZEN to China - who can (then) RETURN as a young adult and embed themselves in every facet of American life including government and MILITARY.
Thanks for the information. Based on what I have already learned, the numbers are both staggering & deeply troubling. Once these mothers give birth in the U.S. & then return to China, they & their offspring have no allegiance to the U.S. but are not only able to vote, but are entitled to many other benefits reserved for U.S. citizens.
Absolutely NO allegiance to the USA, only the Chinese Communist Party - and the Peoples Republic of China.
And NO one in the federal government - or either political party could care less! Not to mention the AMERICAN LAND SOLD to the Chinese Communists - What could possibly go wrong with that?
Cool space pics, especially the flyby showing space junk left on the moon.
I regard those who can't believe that people ever walked on the moon as incapable of even contemplating the risks that people routinely accepted for survival's sake just a few generations ago.
What a nice collection today. I am so glad Bruce Sprungspring made a tribute to Byedone. The EU saying "not my problem" when their energy security is glass house = Chef's kiss. The Iran pig and piglets = poignant. But, the two (explative deleted) faced women holding the sign to "Impeach Trump, he is a psycho!" is the best lack of self awareness meme I have ever seen.
It occurs to me that the Peter Principle is truly profound. If you think about the fact that many, perhaps most, of the leaders of industry, finance and our military are individuals who have passed beyond their maximum efficiency and have been promoted into positions they are less adept at performing, in some (many?) cases where they are absolutely awful. And they are susceptible to promoting brownnosers who have long passed their optima. The only answer to this problem is to cull out these individuals and replace them with those still firing on all cylinders. And that appears to be what this administration is doing now. Heaven knows we have oodles of generals and long term residents in State, DOD and the rest of the fed long past their sell by date.
This is so true. The PP was the first book to “go viral” in my life. Follow by Lee Iacocca’s rendition of Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way. Over the years, I kept seeing these two themes repeatedly played out. In a 75 year retrospective, I have come to the realization that life, business, politics, whatever is not created by the reactionaries, but by those for whom “things that are seen were made from things that were not seen”. No one in my lifetime has done a better job of embodiment of this than Trump.
thank you for this comment. I been pondering it and tried to make a comparison with Trump and anybody in history who would fit that description to see if I understand what you mean by "those for whom “things that are seen were made from things that were not seen” So far as Trump as a visionary- he has conceived potential new allies from countries of (former) enemies, and a potential for new cleaner-lined hemispheric divisions for the geo-political map, which may better aid, sharing of resources while maintaining independence / sovereignty. As well as cleaner cities, starting with DC, better image now and forever long term perhaps, courage to expose fraud and how it has been done so hopefully people will be more watchful. courage to face the big Industries with RFK,jr - more sustainable health by simplifying food and medicine. and then there is AI.
So while IM sure there may be others among our past presidents, etc but all I could come up with in my limited knowledge, was Davinci - mainly because of his being the face of the Renaissance as we know it today (while Trump the face of the New Reset as he called it this morning), but of course Davinci's ability to conceptualize inventions to fill needs that would not, could not become realities in some cases until centuries later. Surely there are some humans with lesser impact than Davinci or greater, but am I on the right track? or way off base with what you are saying about Trump. I will understand if you never comment on my questions. You may never actually see it. However thank you for your response to Michael Nash, it intrigued me enough to ponder.
Thank you- for the reply & insight. I think you caught my drift & Davinci was one of the greatest masters of all time at being a conduit for the spiritual to express itself. Trump may not have Davinci’s artistry but he does have his innate sense of what is right is right, not some kind of situational ethics.
Remember that dumb old movie with Ryan O'Neil and Aly McGraw: "Love Story"? They used to meet up for lunches of Skippy peanut butter and Wonder Bread. I always said (jokingly) that that was the reason she died -- eating that crap. I can never get the images of the close ups of her flaring her nostrils, on her death bed. I would have been a teenager when this came out. My girlfriends used to imitate the flaring nostrils and we'd all have a good laugh.
Iran & middle east funding. We also left a downed state of art plane and the air hub in Afganistan for them. Strategic gifting.
Re Sherlock... its actually an 'invasion.'
Re Moon habitations. Our ancestors invaded north america on Columbus's reports. He had to have noted trees, plains, plants, creatures - promising habitat. To me, somehow the bleak moon and mars, don't generate the same confidence in habitability.
'That's amore...' I have a '50 Music Radio' app. I appreciate it for exercising and Saturdays. A fair number of Happy Organs, Frankie Lanes, Third Man Themes, et als. There are Thay's Amores too.
Then too, there was the scheduled meeting at 4:00 PM yesterday at the White House on MAHA. To have been a fly high on the wall, behind a curtain.
Well its warming up again, but sans rain. Back to gardening.

Democrat Platform
1. Get Trump
2. Get Trump
3. Get Trump
We've got nothing else. OK, there IS one more...
4. Get Trump voters.
That’s it in a “nut shell”!!! I sure hope some people wake up & begin to realize, or, hey see what President Trump has accomplished for America & the people! But, I feel the lunatic movement is on the rise unfortunately. Maybe I need to pack my bags for a Moon trip? LOL…:)!!
Republican platform in blue states is 'WE'RE not Trump!'
Is a bluehealer a woke physcian?
Hey, I resemble that. I own 2 healers. :)
These days, I think I would rather see them if I have a medical problem. The may not be able to help the condition but their licks would make me feel better.
When a kid we used to let dogs lick our injuries to make then heal
Me too. And we're still alive.
us too, my dad said dog's had natural antibiotics in their licks, believed him then and still do.
True!
REALLY???
When I was a kid a neighbor of mine would try to sell free face cleanings from his dog.
Michael Nash - 😄

Never was a clearer line drawn in the sand than when Trump invited anyone who believed their one & only job was to serve Americans to stand & all the Dems remained seated.

James Goodrich - EXCELLENT points! 👏👍
I remember how the Democrats were all worked up b/c - they said - Republicans were going to impeach Obama.
It never happened.
But on the other hand....
Every now and then I think about having to go the hospital, and I get a shiver up my spine. I imagine some narcissistic healthcare worker making TikTok videos while I'm under anesthesia, sticking me with something I've desperately tried to avoid, because I deserve it, because they had to take it and so should I.

"Leftists" (aka) liberals, progressives, Socialists, Communists, Maoists, Trotskyites, and Fascists.
ENVY & HATE are the MO of ALL Mindless Marxist Morons.
It is amazing how many people have so much hurt and anger managements issues.
That all they can relate to is being against policy of every thing and everyone.
Yet when wholeheartedly politely ask what it is they are for....? Crickets......
Whatever the current 'thing' is. Love. Kindness. Tolerance (unless they disagree). Justice. Or something equally vague.

Staying in the same, sort’a, motif, wasn’t there a panel some weeks/months ago with someone in a penis costume? Makes me wonder, since the occupant of the faux phallic get up was a female (maybe 🤷♀️), just another sign that the left slope of society gets confused even with their costumes - d’ya think it possible the faux phallus was occupied by an unnamed SCOTUS member — oops, not MEMBER, that might be misconstrued 🙄 , JUSTICE!
Those two should go ████ themselves.
Could be that your advice has already been implemented. Who knows?
Yes, I wonder if those two dressed in vagina cover-up’s looked in a mirror: Hey,Psychos’, see those two lunatics in the mirror?
The bread video is terrible. My grandson as I have said before can’t eat store bought commodities made with flour. But he can eat my homemade breads and cookies etc made with organic flour. He has an autoimmune disease called Addison’s disease. He was diagnosed with it at age 14. Which is unusual.
The girl with the nose ring reminds me of our old bull with the ring in its nose.
I’m loving the space pictures. Have a great day!
Please forgive my inquiry, but did he receive an HPV vaccine prior to onset? Our daughter developed severe, painful Raynaud’s afterwards, and it was only in retrospect that we recognized the vaccine injury. Risk of autoimmunity is now documented.
No he didn’t have the HPV , but it could have been another vaccine. We don’t know!
My Daughter learned to make homemade sour dough bread, as I can’t eat manufactured bread, & my Grand daughters also don’t eat any bread from the grocery store. We don’t know if any of the vaccines could be the root cause- but sour dough is the bread of choice now. Both of my grand daughters, & my daughter, have Excema & we feel vaccines caused it.
Yes sour dough is a good option . It makes the best flavored dressing
Pigs and Donkeys also have nose rings.
True
I loved the breadmaking video! All those extra ingredients is why I still make my own. In fact, I make enough to give away. My neighbors love me. :)
I would have, before I read this: https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/moondoggie/
Over the past 6 years the lines have been clearly drawn to either willingly take in podcasts or posts or the opposite, disconnect from them. The key is truth, conservatives long for the truth. We know without the truth the wrongs will not be made right, we will get no change. Even with the facts being brought out, people may have been driven from their jobs, but still no one has paid a price, no one has been brought to justice.
When someone automatically goes to name calling or saying maybe this show is not for you, or the tried and true “you’re a nazi”, “you’re a racist”, or “you’re a fascist”, I immediately look at that person with a critical eye, and think they have lost the argument. In most cases, at that point, I just turn them off for good.
In the type of system we live in, a republic, it’s our responsibility to question and be critical, to not believe everything they say, especially after all the lies we’ve been told. It’s become so in your face that government and people of wealth and power could care less about thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people becoming sick or worse dying, you’d have to be a mushroom not to see it. They are open about their distain for us, their elite persona that the middle class and the poor are their worthless pawns.
People like myself want to listen or read others that are genuine, truthful and have integrity. This is why I’ve been here for over 4 years. In these times a good gauge is when we see people that were willing to put their necks on the chopping block to tell you the truth in a story, chances are there’s something there. All of the Covid “conspiracy theories” turned out to be true, and we knew it. The people like yourselves Drs. Malone that stepped forward to protect peoples rights even at the risk of harming your own career are people we can count on. I question all people that had no discernment about this. Maybe it’s the money, maybe it was the prestigious job, I don’t know, maybe they are just pure evil. What I do know is my appetite for news, entertainment and who I spend my time listening to is based on people I believe are truthful and genuine.
Covid should have taught everyone to not take for granted what the mainstream is putting on the table. Just look at the viewership of liberal cable news networks and newspapers, they are dying on their poisoned lying vine. The real reason the Soviet Union fell was that the large majority of Russians stopped believing all the governments lies. Personally I’m sick and tired of constantly being lied to. J.Goodrich
As noted before, have a friend (?) with TDS who regularly tries ferociously to grind me into the dirt. The latest communication is I'm enthusiastically loved. She's in the process of cataract surgeries. Have been reassuring and extolling good of seeing. The sickness bears curious fruits.
Statins? My cataracts were…
I tried statins 5 yrs ago for 6 wks. Took CoQ10 & selenium to try to offset the known side effects but nope: Left leg soon began constant ache in muscles, then foggy brain...but last straw was the digestive issues: 9 times in 42 minutes one morning. Contacted Dr that day who confirmed quit taking immediately. Read "A Statin Nation" by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, and will never take them again.
Have and continue to decline statins. Tried. Severe leg pain and depression. Reading opposition to them now. If they encourage cataract formation all the more reason to carefully consider. The lady herself knows everything about everything. With surgery behind her (and myself for that matter), its now a mute topic.
lol - I'm going to recommend cataract surgery for my TDS bullies that plague me.
At least we can dream.
I listened 2x, once with expensive earbuds - I still don’t know what they were making with that cow in the picture.
Could not watch the satire video about bread making all the way thru - too painful; it’s one of the reasons the bulk of my bread contains only 3 ingredients: flour I mill myself, water from my well (sometimes purified) and salt. I have a half dozen or more berries from which to choose which means I never have to eat the same bread twice - but I do 😉, esp during the development phase. Also, bread made in January isn’t necessarily the same as bread crafted in July.
Do leftists (democrats, but i doth repeat meself) ever listen to what they said yesterday, or even last week or year; AND
Why does a human w/o a penis, who testified before Congress and the nation, under oath, that it can’t even define its own gender/sex, get to decide on matter before the highest court that involve matters of sex, gender or anything that requires intelligence⁉️
I almost wrote in the text: "Can anyone understand what he is saying?"
The good news seems to be she is generally over ruled or at the least in the minority.
It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD world "We" are "living" in.
Tom, shame shame shame, you used one too many "mad"s - Dom DeLouise wants a word.
Although, in retrospect, maybe you should’a used one more 🤪
Yeah: INSANITY RULES!
Somebody tried to key that saucer in the Waffle House parking lot for taking up two spaces. But that material must be some kind of new space age tech, because the vandal, reportedly a disgruntled Alpha Centaurian, was unable to make a mark on it.
And what is that last image supposed to be? A banana peel?
You know if I ever came to believe that our government lies to us, I just don’t know what I’d do.
Lordy, Lordy, you're funny!
One thing I have noticed is that if you mention getting rid of the electronic voting machines and requiring photo ID on many sites...including some so called Conservative sites...your post will be taken down. Until those dastardly machines are gone, we will never be able to trust the results of an election again.
Things that make you wonder. Getting rid of electronic voting machines makes total sense - yet that isn't even in the Save America Act.
Figures.
maybe it is a one step at a time approach. Maybe, perhaps, after we learn if Maduro really did sing like a canary, spill the beans on what he knows or has about election fraud and Dominion, et al. Maybe, perhaps Trump will then make the democrats beg for the machines to go away before the 2028 election or sooner. just a thought
I wonder if there is a Paper Trail regarding federal state and local election outcomes PREVIOUS to and POST electronic voting machines of the win ratio by Democrats?
I’m just getting over a cold and cough, and the cow video made me laugh so hard that I started coughing up a lot of phlegm. Best expectorant ever.
😄
Speaking of birthright citizenship, also known as birth tourism, it appears as if China is even more guilty of this than Mexico (or any other country, for that matter). According to the book I am currently reading ("The Invisible Coup" - How American Elites & Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, by Peter Schweizer), "In 2012, one non-profit estimated that about 36,000 foreign-born women gave birth in the United States & then left the country". An Australian professor, Salvator Babones, estimates that 100,000 Chinese babies are being born U.S. citizens every year. And...the majority head right back to China. Chapter 5 of this book, "China: The Manchurian Generation" is especially revealing (& disturbing). If you want to know what is really going on in regard to birthright citizenship, I highly recommend this book.
Excellent book! Should be required reading of the SCOTUS before they vote on birthright Citizenship’
Coincidently, the current issue of Imprimus, the monthly publication by Hillsdale College, is on this very subject. The March/April 2026 issue, Volume 55, Number 3/4 is titled, "Are We Subjects or Citizens? Birthright Citizenship & The Constitution", by Edward Erler. It can be found at: imprimus.hillsdale.edu
Yes. I receive the Imprimus. Love Hillsdale College.
Talking about good books, check out We Need to Talk About Kevin. I was absolutely drawn in and carried aloft.
The RED TSUNAMI "THE SILENT STORM KILLING YOUR FREEDOM" By T. Casey Fleming (2026) has data on Chinese women's LONGTIME gambit of COLONIZING the U.S. via giving birth on American soil -then returning - with newborn AMERICAN CITIZEN to China - who can (then) RETURN as a young adult and embed themselves in every facet of American life including government and MILITARY.
Thanks for the information. Based on what I have already learned, the numbers are both staggering & deeply troubling. Once these mothers give birth in the U.S. & then return to China, they & their offspring have no allegiance to the U.S. but are not only able to vote, but are entitled to many other benefits reserved for U.S. citizens.
Absolutely NO allegiance to the USA, only the Chinese Communist Party - and the Peoples Republic of China.
And NO one in the federal government - or either political party could care less! Not to mention the AMERICAN LAND SOLD to the Chinese Communists - What could possibly go wrong with that?
So many laughs at so many gaffes. I almost spit giraffes from my coffee carafes.
Cool space pics, especially the flyby showing space junk left on the moon.
I regard those who can't believe that people ever walked on the moon as incapable of even contemplating the risks that people routinely accepted for survival's sake just a few generations ago.
Too much safety consciousness is maladaptive.
The flat earthers are having a hard time explaining the latest space flight.
They'll declare, (from their parents' basements) that this is also faked, despite the fact that we can still distinguish CGI from real.
What a nice collection today. I am so glad Bruce Sprungspring made a tribute to Byedone. The EU saying "not my problem" when their energy security is glass house = Chef's kiss. The Iran pig and piglets = poignant. But, the two (explative deleted) faced women holding the sign to "Impeach Trump, he is a psycho!" is the best lack of self awareness meme I have ever seen.
Now I am off to make pancakes with my cow.
It occurs to me that the Peter Principle is truly profound. If you think about the fact that many, perhaps most, of the leaders of industry, finance and our military are individuals who have passed beyond their maximum efficiency and have been promoted into positions they are less adept at performing, in some (many?) cases where they are absolutely awful. And they are susceptible to promoting brownnosers who have long passed their optima. The only answer to this problem is to cull out these individuals and replace them with those still firing on all cylinders. And that appears to be what this administration is doing now. Heaven knows we have oodles of generals and long term residents in State, DOD and the rest of the fed long past their sell by date.
This is so true. The PP was the first book to “go viral” in my life. Follow by Lee Iacocca’s rendition of Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way. Over the years, I kept seeing these two themes repeatedly played out. In a 75 year retrospective, I have come to the realization that life, business, politics, whatever is not created by the reactionaries, but by those for whom “things that are seen were made from things that were not seen”. No one in my lifetime has done a better job of embodiment of this than Trump.
thank you for this comment. I been pondering it and tried to make a comparison with Trump and anybody in history who would fit that description to see if I understand what you mean by "those for whom “things that are seen were made from things that were not seen” So far as Trump as a visionary- he has conceived potential new allies from countries of (former) enemies, and a potential for new cleaner-lined hemispheric divisions for the geo-political map, which may better aid, sharing of resources while maintaining independence / sovereignty. As well as cleaner cities, starting with DC, better image now and forever long term perhaps, courage to expose fraud and how it has been done so hopefully people will be more watchful. courage to face the big Industries with RFK,jr - more sustainable health by simplifying food and medicine. and then there is AI.
So while IM sure there may be others among our past presidents, etc but all I could come up with in my limited knowledge, was Davinci - mainly because of his being the face of the Renaissance as we know it today (while Trump the face of the New Reset as he called it this morning), but of course Davinci's ability to conceptualize inventions to fill needs that would not, could not become realities in some cases until centuries later. Surely there are some humans with lesser impact than Davinci or greater, but am I on the right track? or way off base with what you are saying about Trump. I will understand if you never comment on my questions. You may never actually see it. However thank you for your response to Michael Nash, it intrigued me enough to ponder.
Thank you- for the reply & insight. I think you caught my drift & Davinci was one of the greatest masters of all time at being a conduit for the spiritual to express itself. Trump may not have Davinci’s artistry but he does have his innate sense of what is right is right, not some kind of situational ethics.
Remember that dumb old movie with Ryan O'Neil and Aly McGraw: "Love Story"? They used to meet up for lunches of Skippy peanut butter and Wonder Bread. I always said (jokingly) that that was the reason she died -- eating that crap. I can never get the images of the close ups of her flaring her nostrils, on her death bed. I would have been a teenager when this came out. My girlfriends used to imitate the flaring nostrils and we'd all have a good laugh.
I think I admitted once previously that I cried when she said, "Being a federal bureaucrat means never having to say you're sorry."
Love the NASA tortilla!
Coming next - their picture of the flat earth take from the new tortilla mission.
So many truths and reflections!
Iran & middle east funding. We also left a downed state of art plane and the air hub in Afganistan for them. Strategic gifting.
Re Sherlock... its actually an 'invasion.'
Re Moon habitations. Our ancestors invaded north america on Columbus's reports. He had to have noted trees, plains, plants, creatures - promising habitat. To me, somehow the bleak moon and mars, don't generate the same confidence in habitability.
'That's amore...' I have a '50 Music Radio' app. I appreciate it for exercising and Saturdays. A fair number of Happy Organs, Frankie Lanes, Third Man Themes, et als. There are Thay's Amores too.
Then too, there was the scheduled meeting at 4:00 PM yesterday at the White House on MAHA. To have been a fly high on the wall, behind a curtain.
Well its warming up again, but sans rain. Back to gardening.
Have a good one!
