A. WATER WARS – TRUMP’S GULF WAR MOMENT WITH IRAN

Michael Cessna reported on the Iran protests and riots that began at the end of 2025. This report first appeared in our January 16, 2026, issue. In that report, he identified the critical fail issue of Iran continues to be its mismanagement of its water supply.

Cessna wrote, “The broader implications of the regime’s corruption-driven failure in its water policy are a nightmare of inconceivable proportions waiting to happen. Iran has a population of about 92 million people. The possibility of massive displacement movements driven by thirst is very real and threatens to completely destabilize the entire region in ways not seen in living memory.

For outsiders, this is a highly dangerous situation, as it will completely up-end markets and investments, long before we factor in the raw security threats to personal and national safety. In the wider immediate, this situation directly threatens the viability of the Strait of Hormuz as a transit point for oil. In the broader scope, the potential closure of the Strait directly threatens the economies of the rest of the world.

This is not hyperbole. Despite the recent events in Venezuela, the South American state cannot make up the difference, despite its proven reserves, because a similar level of corruption and incompetence has left Venezuela with an oil infrastructure that is even more dilapidated than Iran’s.”

Ask yourself, where do you get your water supply from? Is it safe? If it’s not, what are you doing to make it safe? Our audience is mostly American, and in America few of us have reason to feel our regular water supply is being threatened (though the further West you go, the more that might not be true).

A more common problem in America is unsafe water. For that, we recommend you have an effective filtration system to keep your water safe.

  1. You could choose a sink hookup with these products:
  2. GE DUAL STORAGE UNDER SINK WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM WITH FAUCET
  3. PURE PLUS UNDER SINK WATER FILTER SYSTEM

iii. MOEN 4-STAGE UNDER SINK REVERSE OSMOSIS ADVANCED WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

  1. You could also choose a filtration system NOT hooked up to your sink, like these:
  2. BIG BERKEY
  3. PUREWELL 3-STAGE ULTRA-FILTRATION SYSTEM
  4. TRANSITIONS – BECOMING CHINA

“The first recorded instance of book burning was in 213 BC, when Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang decided to incinerate any history books that contradicted his version of the past. In addition, he buried more than four hundred scholars alive.”Susan Orlean (The Library Book)

Paul Gordon Collier wrote of the Qin-Han transition, “This is a successful transition in the context of its time, but it also serves as a warning that the base you inherit from the previous civilization which enables your unique build can also put a limit on your potential as it did here, with the Han continuing in the pattern of not pursuing understanding of the base of valuing, being, and thinking.

Ultimately, this preserved base value would allow the Chinese to one day be surpassed technologically by a civilization built on the presumption that existential questions were the most important ones to answer, though that civilization (which America is a part of) looks to be asking if it will long survive its current state.”

We kicked off our Transitions series in our January 23, 2026, edition, with an analysis of the fall of the first Empire and Dynasty of China, the Qin, and the rise of the second one, the Han Empire. Both Empires have at least one thing in common, they both rely on history documents to validate their rule.

As such, they are highly motivated to assure not only that they control the production of history documentation, but they also assure documents are changed or purged when the documents don’t align with the rulers.

Today, our media is increasingly becoming digital, meaning, should we not continue to produce and preserve physical media, our information reality will become a dream for any Qin or Han Emperor, who, with an order, can have whole catalogs of data purged or edited.

To that end, we are encouraging our readers to purchase physical media and, if you produce media, create physical versions of your media. Our publication is designed to be printed out, and we encourage our readers to not only print out the publication for your archives, but also copy it and share it with friends and family you think might find it useful.

Here are a few resources to find physical media, as well as information on where you can find more (and why you should buy physical media in the first place):

  1. Physical Media Vault – A site that sells harder to find physical media
  2. Where to Buy Physical Media – DVDs, CDs, Vinyl, and more – Cut off the Spigot
  3. Why I still buy physical media – and bought a $450 Blu-ray player in 2023 – Henry T. Casey (CNN)
  4. Physical Media is Dead, Long Live Physical Media – Maya Posch (Hackaday)

B. GLOBALIZATION IS OUT

In this issue’s Bellwether report, we analyzed the ramifications of the showdown at Davos, Switzerland between Trump’s America and the globalist elite. In that analysis, we showed that the new world order that gave power to the weak over the strong was over, and now, nations must scramble to provide for themselves their own sovereign-making power.

Howard Lutnick pointed out “Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It’s a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export offshore, far-shore, find the cheapest labor in the world and the world is a better place for it.”

To that end, we have a challenge for our readers, one we want to pick up for ourselves.  Learn more about 3D printing and how you might be able to use 3D printing now to create your own home manufacturing, at least in spirit. We will cover 3D printing in our Sustainability part of our Futureq series, which begins with a report on AI scheduled to be published in the February 20, 2026 issue of MIA.

The idea here is to establish a spirit of self-sovereignty that might be more gesture than substance at first but will lead to real substantive home manufacturing if you keep with the developments and keep learning how use 3D printers.

  1. TRAINING – Udemy offers a course on 3D printing called “3D Printing from Zero to Hero in Blender – FDM & MSLA.”

It is an online course that it says teach you (this is a partial list):

  • Model and Print with Confidence: Design and 3D print successfully from scratch.
  • Tap Free Resources: Discover where to find top-tier 3D printing assets.
  • Export STL Files: Prep models for flawless printing.
  • Slice and Generate G-Code: Control every detail of your print.
  • Design Efficiently: Create stunning 3D models fast.
  • Master Photo Scanning: Turn photos into printable 3D reconstructions.
  • Print Like a Pro: Use FDM and MSLA printers with ease.
  1. COMMUNITY – There are various opportunities in cities across America that offer 3D printing labs where you can learn how to use 3D printers and also then use those same 3D printers for your own projects. There is a membership fee.

Here is one in Philadelphia called NextFab:

“(from the site) A NextFab membership provides machinery, classes, community, and studio space for you to grow in your craft. We are constantly finding cutting-edge ways to combine digital technology with traditional tools. This multidisciplinary approach, combined with the physical space to make whatever you can imagine, is a whole new way to create.”

  1. PRINTER – Amazon has a list of Starter 3D Printers for as low as $199. These are basic 3D printers that offer intuitive user interfaces but not a lot of manufacturing power. Still, they can be cost-effective learning tools.

Here are some examples:

  1. Fully Assembled Mini 3D Printer for Kids & Beginners – $199
  2. FLASHFORGE Adventure 5M 3D Printer – $239

iii. ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 3D printer – $349.99

A. TRENDING

Covering the news cycle between January 1-30, 2026

  1. MURDER RATE PLUMMETS TO HISTORIC LOWS IN JUST ONE YEAR – Just one year into President Trump’s mass deportation operation, the murder rate in America dropped by a staggering 21% from 2024 to 2025. The murder rate has reached a low that hasn’t been seen since the records were first kept 125 years ago. The correlation between mass deportation and a massive drop in the murder rate cannot be dismissed, but more date would be needed to affirm causation beyond correlation.
  2. VANCE BLUNTS RINO EFFORT TO DISARM TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY – President Donald Trump needed VD Vance to stop the Senate from passing a bill that would handcuff President Trump’s military action in Venezuela. The Senate voted 50-50, with Vance casting the deciding vote in Trump’s favor. Had the bill passed it would have been vetoed, so the bill was a show bill intended to send Trump a message, but not one from the American people, one from the DNC-RINO party (which represents Progmerica, the competing nation within America that existentially opposes America).
  3. TRUMP DELIVERS “MARSHALL PLAN” FOR AMERICA WORTH $18 TRILLION – President Donald Trump is touting the $18 trillion in foreign investments in America, calling it America’s Martial plan. As The Federalist pointed out, that’s equivalent to 120 Marshall Plans. The Federalist also contrasted this “Marshall Plan” with the “Green” Martial plan that saw nation-states, including America, invest $20 trillion in a project to reduce carbon emissions that produced next to no substantive carbon emission reductions.
  4. TRUMP, MUSK RECONCILE AFTER MUSK PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR GOP IN 2026 – President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have officially reconciled their once-vitriolic differences, demonstrating that reconciliation ceremoniously at a Mar a Largo event. Musk said of the event, “Had a lovely dinner last night with @POTUS and @FLOTUS. 2026 is going to be amazing!”

This moment followed a post on X by Musk that telegraphed his position for the 2026 election, “America is toast if the radical left wins. They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won’t be America anymore.”

  1. CBS INTERVIEW WITH TRUMP REVEALS NETWORK IS LOST TO PROGMERICA – After the hiring of Bari Weiss to remove the far-left propaganda from CBS News, doubt has remained as to just how hard Weiss would push and what she could accomplish. The jury is still out, but a recent interview by CBS News Anchor Tony Dokoupil of President Trump reveals a news standard that is aligned, once again, with Americanism.

Newsbusters’ assessment of the interview should please CBS News. They claimed, “The dust has settled on the second Trump interview of the Bari Weiss Era at CBS News. It is another positive step in the right direction, away from the usual talking point-laden gotchafests… Anchor Tony Dokoupil acquitted himself well, being firm but respectful. He brought questions, not talking points. He engaged, rather than scolded. This resulted in meaningful conversation, rather than performative confrontation.”

  1. DILBERT CREATOR FINDS CHRIST AT THE END OF LIFE – Dilbert cartoon creator and political philosopher Scott Adams died at the age of 68 of cancer. Just before his death, Adams made a public declaration of belief in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World. While the media chose to slander him after his death, his fans celebrated his life, mourned his passing, and welcomed his acceptance of Christ as his savior.

Adams wrote, “If you are reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1st, 2026…. So here I go: I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with Him…”

B. DEPORTATION

  1. DHS SELF-DEPORTATION APP GETS SURGE IN TRAFFIC, ILLEGAL ALIENS GET GREATER INCENTIVE TO LEAVE – The Department of Homeland Security’s Self-Deportation app has seen a spike in traffic already compared to last year, when the app was first rolled out. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have self-deported under Trump, according to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. That figure is expected to be more in the coming year based on the app’s initial traffic data for this year. The Trump administration has also increased the incentive to self-deport from $1000 to $2600.
  2. 50-YEAR NET MIGRATION STREAK ENDS IN U.S. UNDER TRUMP – For the first time in 50 years, the net migration in the U.S. has reached a deficit. The report by the Brookings Institute reveals the net deficit in migration is due to a combination of forced and voluntary deportations coupled with a precipitous decline in new entries. The Brookins Institute concluded, “Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely.”
  3. HERO ICE AGENT GETS OVER $1 MILLION IN SUPPORT AFTER INJURED BY LEFTIST INSURRECTIONIST – After ICE Agent Jon Ross was injured when a leftist insurrectionist hit him with her car, death threats came in from the insurrectionist’s fellow insurrectionists, along with condemnation by DNC party leaders, including the Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, and the Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey.

To help the agent recover from his injuries, as well as to deal with the security his family now needs due to DNC activists threatening to murder them, Americans started online campaigns to fund them. So far, the two major funds, GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, have exceeded $1 million in donations, a figure that continues to climb.

  1. NO MORE LOANS FOR ILLEGALS AFTER TRUMP ADMIN ENDS BIDEN RULE – The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and the Justice Department removed regulations from the Biden era that ordered banks not to consider the immigration status of its borrowers. Under the guise of “anti-racism,” the Biden administration created these regulations. The move by the administration is sure to be challenged in the courts.

C. ELECTION

  1. SCOTUS OPENS FLOODGATES ON MASS MAILER ELECTION LAWSUITS – The United States Supreme Court voted 7-2 that candidates in elections have standing to sue over Mass Mailer Ballot rules. The ruling could finally create a legal challenge to the obviously unconstitutional practice of allowing elections to be conducted in ways that are clearly impossible to secure.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, saying, “Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns. Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the support of the people they seek to represent.” The far-left insurrectionist judges, Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson dissented.

  1. TRUMP HAS 54-45 APPROVAL RATING AMONG HISPANICS – A new swing block in the 2024 election, the Hispanic vote only figures to be an even bigger one in the coming elections, which is good news for Trump. A Rasmussen Reports poll shows President Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics is plus nine, with 54% approving and 45% disapproving. This poll shows the narrative of ICE raids being anti-Hispanic or “brown” is a myth. Not even Hispanic Americans want illegals here, it would seem.

D. CULTURE

  1. CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH LEADS AMERICANS TO BUY BIBLES – After the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, church attendance and public proclamations of Christ have surged. Now, data reported by the Wall Street Journal reveals bible sales following his assassination increased by 36% in September. The news follows overall trends towards increased bible sales, as well as printed book sales in general.
  2. FLORIDA SEES ABORTIONS PLUMMET BY 45% – Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration has revealed that abortion has declined in the state by 45% since 2021. Operation Rescue Chief Operating Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, said of the news, “With the permanent closure of just nine clinics, the state of Florida saw a 45% reduction in the number of babies killed. This is a state with the third highest number of abortion clinics in the nation, right after California and New York.

The work is far from over, but more lives are saved every time a clinic closes its door for good. This is why our team works so diligently to expose abortion abuses and to call for the equal enforcement of safety and health regulations at the shoddy abortion businesses we constantly find breaking the law.”

  1. TWO MORE HOSPITALS ANNOUNCE CHILDREN’S GENDER TRANSITIONING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN – Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, CA has announced it will no longer conduct “gender affirming care” for children. They stated. “…these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. This was a very difficult decision, made to ensure we can continue serving all children and families across the communities we serve.”

Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, WA has also announced it will be closing down its gender care clinic, stating, “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make. We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”

For those who haven’t noticed, BOTH hospitals expressed regret they could not continue to offer children life-altering chemicals, and even surgeries, under the illusion that a child can “choose” their gender. Where possible, perhaps it is time to choose a hospital that doesn’t hold the philosophical view that a child can choose a gender, and doctors should help permanently alter them to satisfy that delusion.

  1. NY SURRENDERS ITS EFFORTS TO FORCE NUNS TO FUND ABORTIONS – After nearly 10 years of fighting and winning a SCOTUS decision, Christian organizations have finally officially won their fight to stop forcing religious organizations to fund abortions. New York has officially settled with the Christian organizations, guaranteeing they will no longer be forced to fund abortions.

One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Lori Windham, said of the settlement, “For nearly a decade, New York bureaucrats tried to strong-arm nuns into paying for abortions because they serve all those in need. At long last, the state has given up its disgraceful campaign. This victory confirms that the government cannot punish religious ministries for living out their faith by serving everyone. The Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that religious groups shouldn’t be bullied for staying true to their faith.”

  1. ABORTION DRUG TRAFFICKERS SHUT DOWN BY NORTH DAKOTA – North Dakota’s Attorney General Drew Wrigley has served notice to an abortion drug trafficking organization, Prairie Abortion Fund. The pro-unborn-child-murder group has been “providing” the unborn baby murder pill to North Dakota residents in violation of its prescription drug laws.

Attorney General Wrigley stated, “Our BCI [Bureau of Criminal Investigation] was able to purchase abortion pills from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing any health information and without providing any verification of identity or age. These actions pose a significant health risk to pregnant women and facilitate the violation of North Dakota’s healthcare requirements, in part, by taking doctors out of the equation. As a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, by referring and actively linking to websites that unlawfully sells products, Prairie Abortion Fund lends credibility and trustworthiness to unlawful websites that otherwise would look much more suspicious.”

  1. POLITICAL TURMOIL DELIVERS DEFEAT TO FRENCH EUTHANASIA BILL – The state of French politics has helped defeat an end-of-life bill in their Senate that would have allowed doctors to euthanize patients. The bill was essentially allowed to die in the Senate after it had passed the National Assembly. Unfortunately, the euthanizers still have hope of bringing the bill back to the Senate if the National Assembly can fix the concern by some that, as written, it was too permissive.

E. HEALTH

  1. MAHA BREAKS THE BIG FOOD PYRAMID – HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled the department’s update to the previous food pyramid. The pyramid is replaced with a 10-page guide. The Secretary said of the guide, “The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care cost.”
  2. TRUMP ANNOUNCES GREAT HEALTHCARE PLAN – President Donald Trump announced a plan to bring down the cost of healthcare for every American. His program is called the “Great Healthcare Plan.” He outlined the heart of the plan, posting, “Instead of putting the needs of big corporations and special interests first, our plan finally puts you first. It puts more money in your pocket. The government is going to pay the money directly to you. It goes to you, and then you take the money and buy your own health care.”
  3. TRUMP SIGNS XO TO GET MENTALLY ILL OFF STREETS – President Trump has signed an executive order intended to get the severely mentally ill and chronic drug addicted homeless off the streets. He declared, “Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We are going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers but you’ve got to get the people off the streets”

The key part of the XO states, “Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens. My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.”

INTRODUCTION

This is an opinion piece written in what MIA refers to as the “prophetic voice.” This voice is intended to express an Americanist spiritual understanding (or an attempt to understand in a spiritual context) the actions this opinion piece is analyzing.

Spirit here simply means a habit of being born from core presuppositions. For the Americanist, that core presupposition is that state and corporate power should be limited by the “right” of the individual to be self-stewarded, not coerced into “belief” as defined by the state and/or the corporation.

I am analyzing the underlying spiritual realities from a primarily Americanist perspective, from the perspective of a people who value individual self-stewardship over protecting people from offensive or untrue thought. I am specifically looking at the dramatic actions by the Democrat Party immediately after taking power in Virgina following an election that openly rewarded calls for political violence.

A. TAKING POWER

Through multiple bills and executive orders, the Insurrectionist State of Virginia hopes to make itself a blue fortress shielding its Progmerican citizens from Federal authority, ESPECIALLY its illegal alien Progmerican citizens, who (to them) are the righteous wrath of the world against the unjust Americans, White Supremacists all.

Lawsuits are sure to follow quickly, but already Virginia is set to become a violent land not unsimilar to California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and a growing list of blue-run states lurching into political violence and anarchy, intentionally.

  1. REWARDING POLITICAL DEATH THREATS – In our November 2025 Report, The DNC is Not Yet Dead, we reported on the stunning results of that Virginia election. THIS is what Virginia voted for:

The buzz about early voting initially not going great for the Democrats proved to be a false hope for Americans as the state overwhelmingly voted for violence in politics by electing a governor who wouldn’t condemn it and the highest law man in the land who also openly advocated for it.

Another abortion extremist, Abigaile Spanberger, can now be seen as the face of the white, suburban, female child murderer voter. Her refusal to condemn her fellow party member, Jay Jones, for texting he wanted to murder his republican opponents’ kids in front of him, matched the spirit she showed in defending unborn child murder up to birth. The only people abortionists don’t want you to kill are murderers and rapists. Charlie Kirk? Yes. Child rapist-murderer? No.

Now, Virginia’s Governor and Attorney General have openly advocated for terrorism, yet the DOJ refuses to arrest them after committing such an obvious crime. If you are not a progressive and you live in Virginia, 57% of your neighbors just voted to murder you. Your state leaders support your execution should you dare speak in public against them.

Spanberger beat Winsome Earle-Sears 57% to 43%. Jay Jones beat the incumbent DA 53% to 47%. Voter turnout was 55%, with only 10% being from mail-in ballots. This means, as I stated earlier, Virginia TRULY VOTED FOR TREASON. Virginia may be the first state to openly vote for political assassinations in the history of our republic, a republic they just voted against.

One could argue that the majority of Viriginia’s voters in 2025 openly committed an act of treason against our republic (though not a charge I’d ever support attempting to enforce beyond core leadership targets).

One would be correct in that assumption if they view reality through an Americanist lens. You have no right to vote for political murder as you clearly did in Virginia. This is crime of the highest order.

  1. BUILDING THE BLUE FORTRESS, HOME OF POLITICS BY VIOLENCE – Over two months later, the Democrats have now taken over. They came in under an explicit approval of political violence by Virginia voters. Their reward is a slate of new bills and executive orders that will deliver to those who voted for this dystopian reality the economic and security hardships they certainly deserve. To the rest of Virginians, our condolences for your losses. Let us hope they are temporary.

Here are some of their worst proposed bills:

Softening sentencing rules for robbers.

Eliminate ballot hand-counting to assure easier election fraud.

Ban gas-powered leaf blowers.

Free Education for Illegal Aliens

Ban Arresting Illegal Aliens in courthouses

Add 4.3% Delivery Tax affecting all Deliveries, Including Amazon, Uber, and Door Dash.

“Protects” Transgender children from parental resistance

There are numerous new gun control laws proposed, and abortion will be legalized up to the birth of the child.

You can also expect Virginia Public schools to once again tell children that white babies are born with sin skins to a white race that invented evil. They will also be told that the whole world must come together to end the white devil’s tyranny.

You can also expect Virginia public schools to once again tell children they should ponder what gender they are and what gender(s) they might like to have sex with.

Science is dead in Virginia, as are safe spaces for children, who soon will no longer be safe in their schools as they were when the Progmericans were reined in under Glenn Youngkin. Children will soon longer be safe in their own communities as crime will explode in the cities as local DNC and state DNC insurrectionist leaders can more directly work together to continue to foment arrest in America’s cities (no doubt intentionally).

Expect the professional rioters to thug freer on the streets in Virginia cities once the Blue Fortress of Virginia is established (which should take about 3 months). Criminals are righteous scourges on an unrighteous land to the blue acolyte. This is why they don’t charge them, and when the police do, they release them and fail to prosecute them.

B. A SOBERING REALITY FOR AMERICANS TRAPPED IN VIRGINIA

If some of our readers find themselves in Virginia, we hope you have been building your own hope exits, and, when possible, even your own Hope Castles, for things are about to get tough for you, ESPECIALLY if you have children. Homeschooling might be the only option at this point, for the children of Virginia are about to be set upon by the predators called “teachers” (college-indoctrinated anti-American revolutionary activists), who will now be unleashed, protected by state laws.

If you cannot afford to homeschool, check to see if other parents are having the same problem. This writer assumes there will be efforts to create homeschool networks to allow parents to pool their resources so they can rescue their children from state-inflicted psychological terrorism. If there aren’t, maybe you’re the one to start it.

Virginia is a land filled with Americans who now find themselves behind enemy lines. As much as we can, we hope to offer solutions to those Americans on how to build hope exits right where you are. On July 10, 2026, we are scheduled to release our full Hope Exit Series updated and supplemented.

It contains a breakdown of the essential needs of people and communities and solutions that free you from dependence on a system that wants you dead (and believe me, Virginia’s Democrats WANT Americans dead, even if just through attrition).

Write to us at MIAMailroom@gmail.com if you’re in Virginia. Tell us what you’re doing to prepare and what you might need to help you prepare.

SUMMARY

In the second installment of our Transition series, the Qin Dynasty inflicted a great burden on a people who were rewarded for that pain with security and expansion. But when the conquest ended, so too did the tolerance for the pain being inflicted upon the people. The Han rose on the literal corpse of the Qin Dynasty, preserving the core while destroying the parts that greatly oppressed the people.

Here, the core of the Spangenberger Empire is still Americanism. It is their legitimacy claim to power. They continue to attempt to use language that is outwardly keeping with Americanism even if its spirit is a dagger aimed at her heart.

Their conquest, though, is not over, for they are merely newly gained territory for the Progmerican Empire as a whole, an Empire DYING to shake off its American mask and speak plainly the language of the Prog.

They are the legalists of their time, aiming to use rigid anti-moral moral supremacism to assure no one even THINKS outside the official orthodoxy EVEN in the privacy of their own home.

So long as there is hope for future conquest, those true blues, the true progs of Virginia, will happily endure their temporary hardships, and they’ll happily endure others suffering far more profoundly than them, even up to their neighbors being imprisoned.

The same goes for the MSM-attached TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) Progmericans who still think THEY are the true American patriots because they LITERALLY think we Americans, ESPECIALLY the MAGAs, are LITERAL NAZIS! No joke.

I cannot emphasize enough how psychotic, how detached from reality this class of people truly has become. They are more likely to commit violence than even the true blues, the Antifas, are.

For Virginians, I can’t offer you much immediate hope. Your enemies, your own neighbors, are only going to become even more emboldened, more hostile. But for those outside the war zone, Virginia is about to win over a lot of “normies” who will see for themselves yet another apocalyptic transformation of a state given over to the full blue program, unfettered by the constitution.

For Virginians, there is hope, even if not immediately, but that will come only from the Federal government exposing the DNC-CCP conspiracy that has inflicted this land for decades. This will undo ALL DNC power in this land, for a few generations to come, at least.

Let us hope our leaders find the strength to carry through with the prosecutions necessary to end Progmerica’s reign of terror on America, and thus on Virginia as well.

“‘And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.’” – Genesis 15:16

For our fellow Christian readers, let us remember that vengeance is the Lord’s, and our Kingdom does not advance through violence. A nation that continues to embrace child sacrifice, abortion, must rely on God’s patience, for surely mercy is not given to the unrepentant, but even the Amorites had four more generations of patience given to them before God used the Israelites as a righteous scourge on a child-sacrificing land.

Let us hope and pray first for America’s emergent, consensual repentance, and secondly for God’s patience with our unrighteous land, with the hope that our working out the Great Commandment and Great Commission, through the Holy Spirit, will lead us to that repentance.

This is why our team works so diligently to expose abortion abuses and to call for the equal enforcement of safety and health regulations at the shoddy abortion businesses we constantly find breaking the law.”

  1. HERO ICE AGENT GETS OVER $1 MILLION IN SUPPORT AFTER INJURED BY LEFTIST INSURRECTIONIST – After ICE Agent Jon Ross was injured when a leftist insurrectionist hit him with her car, death threats came in from the insurrectionist’s fellow insurrectionists, along with condemnation by DNC party leaders, including the Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, and the Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey.

To help the agent recover from his injuries, as well as to deal with the security his family now needs due to DNC activists threatening to murder them, Americans started online campaigns to fund them. So far, the two major funds, GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, have exceeded $1 million in donations, a figure that continues to climb.

  1. TRUMP SIGNS XO TO GET MENTALLY ILL OFF STREETS – President Trump has signed an executive order intended to get the severely mentally ill and chronic drug addicted homeless off the streets. He declared, “Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We are going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers but you’ve got to get the people off the streets”

The key part of the XO states, “Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens. My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.”

  1. DOJ ANNOUNCES FIRST ROUND OF ARRESTS OF MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH INVADERS – Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong, the alleged ringleader of an anti-ICE militant invasion of a church service. The violent intimidation of parishioners, which included children, was “justified” because the Pastor is a suspected ICE agent. Don Lemon, the former CNN agitator, appeared to lead the assault. He is expected to face Federal charges as well.

Attorney General Pam Bondi shared, “So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. We will share more updates as they happen…”

  1. MEXICO EXTRADITES 37 MORE HIGH RANKING CARTEL MEMBERS TO U.S. – Despite the tough rhetoric coming from Mexico lately, the Sheinbaum administration itself seems more than willing to placate an America at war with the drug cartels. Mexico’s Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch announced the extradition of 37 high ranking and dangerous cartel members that “represented a real threat to the country’s (Mexico) security.” This brings the total number of extradited cartel members to 92.
  2. NY SURRENDERS ITS EFFORTS TO FORCE NUNS TO FUND ABORTIONS – After nearly 10 years of fighting and winning a SCOTUS decision, Christian organizations have finally officially won their fight to stop forcing religious organizations to fund abortions. New York has officially settled with the Christian organizations, guaranteeing they will no longer be forced to fund abortions.

One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Lori Windham, said of the settlement, “For nearly a decade, New York bureaucrats tried to strong-arm nuns into paying for abortions because they serve all those in need. At long last, the state has given up its disgraceful campaign. This victory confirms that the government cannot punish religious ministries for living out their faith by serving everyone. The Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that religious groups shouldn’t be bullied for staying true to their faith.”

  1. MORE COLORADANS ARE KEEPING THEIR KIDS HOME FOR SCHOOL – As Colorado continues to plunge into anti-American leftist dogma, its schools continue to harass American children and their families, especially whites and Christians. As a result, more and more families are pulling their kids out of the child terrorizing schools. In just one year, the schools saw almost a 2% drop in enrollment as parents continue to pull their kids from the government schools.

Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova claimed, “Colorado continues to experience enrollment trends shaped by a declining school-aged population, increasing racial and ethnic diversity, and shifts toward part-time and online learning. These changes require thoughtful adaptation, and our schools are working diligently to continue serving students effectively across the state.”

  1. ABORTION DRUG TRAFFICKERS SHUT DOWN BY NORTH DAKOTA – North Dakota’s Attorney General Drew Wrigley has served notice to an abortion drug trafficking organization, Prairie Abortion Fund. The pro-unborn-child-murder group has been “providing” the unborn baby murder pill to North Dakota residents in violation of its prescription drug laws.

Attorney General Wrigley stated, “Our BCI [Bureau of Criminal Investigation] was able to purchase abortion pills from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing any health information and without providing any verification of identity or age. These actions pose a significant health risk to pregnant women and facilitate the violation of North Dakota’s healthcare requirements, in part, by taking doctors out of the equation. As a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, by referring and actively linking to websites that unlawfully sells products, Prairie Abortion Fund lends credibility and trustworthiness to unlawful websites that otherwise would look much more suspicious.”

  1. ANTI-ICE TERRORIST KILLED BY ICE AGENT DIED PROTECTING MURDERERS – The anti-American terrorist Renee Good was killed when she attempted to murder an ICE officer attempting to arrest illegal aliens who also happened to be wanted for murder. Find out what unfolded IMMEDIATELY afterwards in our Final Thought (One Shooting, Two Nations) on pg. xx.

Good’s family has hired the George Floyd attorney to use lawfare to terrorize American officers and officials. The injured ICE agent is still recovering in the hospital, his family in hiding for fear of being murdered by DNC voters. The video now clearly shows the agent was struck by the vehicle, a fact the DNC media and its anti-American fanbase continue to deny.

  1. ANTI-ICE INSURGENTS ARE NOW SEIZING GOVERNMENT RIFLES – The assaults in Minneapolis against ICE agents by DNC-paid insurgents are only increasing and getting more deadly. Against that backdrop, DNC government leaders, from Tim Kain to Chuck Schumer, and DNC supporters, from celebrities to influencers, keep spreading lies intended to get ICE agents killed. So far, Pam Bondi has made zero arrests.

As of January 15, the terrorists have seized FBI papers, destroyed vehicles, seized an ICE vehicle and took a rifle out of it, all while Minneapolis police, under the order of Progmerican Mayor Jacob Frey, stood down and allowed it to happen. President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to put down the Minnesota revolt, but some Americans are wondering why that isn’t being declared at the national level.

VENEZUELAN LEADER PLUCKED FROM CHINA’S PROTECTION – Despite the security provided President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela by his two strongest allies, Russia and China, U.S. forces were able to quickly enter the country and within less than 3 hours return with Maduro and his wife to the U.S. Reports of advanced military tech being used to easily overcome Venezuelan forces equipped in mid-range Chinese and Russian military tech have not been confirmed.

The move sends a powerful message to China and Russia’s allies that their protection might be no protection at all. Currently, Maduro is facing “evolving charges.” His VP has taken over and, as of now, appears to be willing to cooperate with the U.S. The role of Exxon in developing the oil earmarked for America (for resale on the market) is in doubt after the CEO went afoul of President Trump.

CLINTONS REFERRED FOR CONTEMPT CHARGES AFTER REFUSING TO TESTIFY AT EPSTEIN HEARING – Long-time friends with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill and Hillary Clinton show up in the Epstein files numerous times, with Bill showing up even more than Hillary does. After refusing to come before the House Oversight Committee for questioning, both Clintons have been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said, “We’re going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress. The [Epstein estate] complied with our lawful subpoena. [Former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta] came in and were deposed because of our lawful subpoenas. This same lawful subpoena was issued to the Clintons, and they defied it.”

  1. UKRAINE CEASEFIRE DEAL IS OFFICIALLY DEAD – Any hope of the war in Ukraine ending anytime soon has all-but ended with Russia’s final response to the U.S.-led ceasefire proposal. The final sticking point was over the “security guarantees” in the form of U.S. and European troop support. Putin called this nothing more than “foreign intervention.” To emphasize their point, the Russians also now claim that the push by British and European nations to build more military infrastructure in Ukraine will make their troops viable targets.

SOMALI FRAUD CASE TAKES OUT KAIN, THREATENS OMAR – The growing Somali Fraud scandal has already triggered Tim Kain, the Progmerican governor of Minnesota, to declare he is not running for re-election. It also appears to be threatening Minnesota’s Islamist anti-Americanist Progmerican representative, Ilhan Omar. Nick Sherley, an independent reporter, broke the story of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of U.S. tax dollars being stolen through fake daycare centers run by Somalis.

Ilhan Omar’s recent effort to earmark $1 million for an ISIS-linked Somali ‘Non-Profit’ has triggered a call to investigate the organization and Omar’s connections to it. Trump has responded by suspending Somali immigration and revoking the legal status of thousands of Somali “asylum seekers.” More action is being taken to strip new Somali naturalized citizens involved in the fraud, which includes Ilhan Omar.

He claimed NATO is not an effective deterrent to Russian and Chinese power and therefore America must secure the territory that makes them vulnerable with or without anyone else’s consent (despite Europe moving token numbers of troops to Greenland).

He stated, “Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent — Not even close! They know that, and so do I.”

The now-serving Mayor of New York has begun his tenure by appointing a Marxist, a self-appointed Democratic Socialist, to head the city’s Housing Department. Cea Weaver appears set to test the bounds of state authority over Federal authority, especially when it comes to how she is pledging to treat NY’s privately-owned housing.

The appointment is particularly concerning because Mamdani has pledged to freeze rents, expand the power of enforcement hearings, and bring in communist activists as bureaucrats to use lawfare to seize private property and convert it to communist property. Expect a report on Mamdani soon.

  1. AFTER JD VANCE HOUSE SHOOTING, SECRET SERVICE AGENT BETRAYS JD VANCE’S SAFETY ON UNDERCOVER VIDEO – An undercover video from an ACTUAL muckraker (and we mean that in the best sense), James O’Keefe, is exposing a secret service agent who is more than willing to put Vice President JD Vance’s life at risk. This comes shortly after a trans DNC activist shot into JD Vance’s home when he and his family were not there.

The agent shared the Vice President’s future traveling and event plans in an undercover video by The O’Keefe Media Group. The agent is Tomas Escotto, a five-year veteran of the force who came in under the President Joe Biden Committee.

Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn responded to the video by stating, “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,”

  1. TRUMP SEEKS TO SET TERMS OF AI BRAIN DATACENTER DEBATE COMING TO AMERICA – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about the emerging need for massive data centers to power AI brains which every nation-state will now need to be a world power in the years to come. He offered a carrot to the main sides of the incoming debate, the taxpayers who may be on the hook to pay for the data centers, the locals affected by the data centers, and the corporatists relying on those data centers for personal power.

He characterized it in the American context, writing, “We are the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must ‘pay their own way,” His post does not address another conflict-of-interest crisis, water resources, which are also needed in large volumes to fund the AI brains.

  1. TRUMP PUSHES FOR 10% INTEREST LIMIT ON CREDIT CARDS – The financial industry is already pushing back against President Trump’s calls to put a 1-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%. The President declared on Truth Social, “Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be ‘ripped off’ by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%, and even more, which festered unimpeded during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration. AFFORDABILITY!

Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration.”

  1. AMENDMENT TO DEFUND TREASONOUS JUDGES STRUCK DOWN BY RINO 46 – 46 RINO Progmericans within the GOP betrayed Americanist standards once again by helping the party of sedition, the party of Progmerica, the DNC-CCP, protect two of its most egregiously insurrectionist judges from having their office defunded.

Americanist Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) pushed forth the amendment as part of the appropriations package. The two judges targeted were James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman. Boasberg enabled Operation Arctic Frost and Boardman gave a would-be SCOTUS Judge assassin a lenient sentence. Both judges have consistently ruled outside the bounds of common-sense Americanist interpretations of the constitution, siding with leftist standards over American law.

  1. NY FIRES SALVO AT 3D GUN PRINTING – Progmerican NY Governor Kathy Hochul is making a push to figure out how to make software that enables 3D printers to print guns and gun parts illegal. Even as the real 2A push is increasingly heading to the drone frontier, the Progmericans are still hoping to contain the threat that comes from citizens equipped and capable of defending themselves against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC, with small arms.

Her office released this official statement: As part of her 2026 State of the State agenda, Governor Kathy Hochul today unveiled proposals to strengthen New York’s nation leading gun laws by cracking down on 3D-printed and illegal firearms. The new legislation would establish criminal penalties for the manufacture of 3D-printed firearms and order minimum safety standards to be established for 3D printer manufacturers to block the production of firearms and firearm components.

The move should be seen as a telegraph the left’s Green New Deal may be over. Expect talks of AI Justice to replace Climate Justice talks.
  2. ISRAELI TECH CEO CALLS ON U.S. TO LIMIT FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS – Whether he realized it or not, Israeli billionaire tech entrepreneur and Cato Networks co-founder Shlomo Kramer just advocated for the restriction of Americans’ First Amendment rights essentially to protect Israel from online threats.

Here is how he chose to advance this Anti-First-Amendment narrative, “You’re seeing the polarization in countries that allow for the First Amendment and protect it, which is great. And I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it. And quickly before it’s too late… I mean that we (government) need to control the platforms, all the social platforms. We need to stack, rank the authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take control over what they are saying, based on that ranking.”

CONTRACEPTIVES IN CHINA NOW TAXED IN REVERSAL OF SUBSIDIZATION POLICY – For three decades, Chinese citizens would not pay taxes on contraceptives, which includes drugs and condoms; now, Chairman Xi has ordered a 13% value-added tax on contraceptives to discourage fertility. The move comes as the population has dropped for three years in a row, and the drop is only expected to plummet in upcoming years.

“Show no partiality in judgment; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”Deuteronomy 1:17

The truth claims around a shooting of a woman by an ICE Agent in Minnesota have served to remind us once again that our land is occupied by two nations, Progmerica and America. In Progmerica, the criminals are the people who benefit from the privilege of being white (or white adjacent) and American. Their flourishing happened at the expense of the rest of the world. They invented evil as a means of becoming a cruel master of all.

The white ally is a Jesus figure in this movement, taking on the role of the all-powerful one who lays down their power for the good of the POC whole. The POC, the “person of color,” is both the victim of the white devil and the retribution against the white devil. Individual liberty is a dog whistle for white supremacism. America has committed the WORLD’S GREATEST CRIME against humanity.

What Americans call criminals, Progmericans call righteous judgments of America, which is why they want to defund the police, get rid of cash bails, and give next-to-nothing sentences to violent criminals. Where criminals exist, social injustice exists. Let the criminals force the privileged to become socially just!

In America, the Progmerican is a violent revolutionary who views your children as acceptable targets for murder in the name of liberating the TRUE HUMANITY, the POC, from the EVIL power of humanity, the white race. The moment you remove the white devil narrative, all other claims by the left crumble like a house of cards (which is further proof the heart of their movement is simply racism and bigotry).

What we can now behold after this is the crystal-clear proof there are two nations in this land, and one, Progmerica, intends on MURDERING the other, America, one terroristic planted lie at a time by the DNC hate machine.

On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 9:30AM local time, an Immigration Customs Enforcement Officer named Jonathan Ross, 43, shot far-left radical insurrectionist activist Renee Nicole Good, 37, three times in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was white, as is the officer.

The circumstances surrounding this shooting were not as important as the narratives that empower the factions competing for the new American order. Unfortunately, the first video that went viral was ambiguous, allowing for anyone willing to read this shooting to fit their narrative to conveniently do so.

At the time of the shooting, nothing was known about the woman, the ICE officer, or the circumstances that led to this altercation. Yet despite that fact, both the left and the right quickly assumed narratives that suited their preferences, though the right’s reactions contained some measure of doubt and questioning while the left’s reaction were sure and wholly militant in their conclusions.

As it would turn out, the right’s characterizations were mostly true, though they claimed that certainty far before the evidence emerged that clearly justified these claims.

The media and DNC leadership have long been intentionally inciting violence against Americans using knowing disinformation, but this time they crossed lines that should lead Americans to conclude American Rule of Law is effectively dead.

Even as their original narratives are destroyed by material evidence, including more videos, including undisputed facts about the insurrectionist and the ICE agent, they appear to be doubling down on knowing lies. They seem to be betting on their audiences not wandering too far off the information plantation.

If you asked two of  the leading AI platforms, Grok and ChatGPT for objective facts around the shooting shortly after it happened (even a day after0, you would get a sanitized version of the facts that will lead you to believe it is reasonable to assume the shooting was unjustified. Not only is it reasonable, both AI prophets leaned towards unjustified.

Their characterization of DNC leadership response and media coverage is also sanitized, removing the vilest (and thus most noteworthy) statements made by both the media and DNC leadership. In short, the world the DNC describes is almost the same as the world the major AI platforms describe.

I point out AI results to document what the real new MSM is telling Americans, for ChatGPT and Grok are the new Walter Cronkites for the masses. If they characterize an event a certain way, this is the way the vast majority of people who use these services will come to view that event, for, to most of them, the AI results are “objective.”

In this instance, the AI platforms are acting as agents of insurrection programmed to intentionally disseminate lies that lead their readers to murder Americans. In this they join DNC leadership and their old priests, the mainstream media.

The initial narrative, which you won’t find in AI results, was that this woman was a poet, a mother, and a wife who was simply taking her kids to school when she was callously shot down intentionally by murderous Nazi ICE agents. This narrative went forward by the MSM, AI platforms, and DNC leadership at a time when ICE agents were already seeing thousands of percentages of increased assaults against them by leftist terrorists.

It produced a flood of leftist social media death threats against ICE agents and has produced violence in multiple U.S. cities, including Minneapolis (whose police force abandoned their own downtown to the insurrectionists). So far, while Americans still want illegals gone, their support for ICE is plummeting as the media narratives take hold.

Who knows how many have been killed or wounded by leftist attacks as a result of the knowing lies the DNC machine spread with the intention of triggering a civil war aimed at destroying our constitution? There can be no doubt that the insurrectionists breaking into a hotel with ICE agents with the intent to kill them was triggered DIRECTLY by the DNC machine, its AI platforms, its corporate media, and its party leaders.

What we know now is that the “mother” is a woman who divorced her husband, lost custody of two of her three kids over allegations of physical abuse by her “wife,” and became one of the leaders of a violent insurrectionist movement. On the day of her justified death, the woman was leading a deliberate assault on ICE operations to impede their ability to arrest illegal aliens. In this instance, they were defending pedophiles and murderers, which is on brand for the DNC.

You will not know any of this if you get your news from DNC-controlled AI search results (and yes, Grok is STILL controlled by DNC allies, the programmers), corporate media, or the Democrat leaders that have called for the assassination of ICE agents.

As for the noble sacrifice of the white woman for the cause of the POC, her own white compatriot realizes that their allyship is not redemptive of who they are, worthless whites. The woman claimed that her crying over the death of a white woman “feels wrong,” and that “I feel like white tears are not always helpful or necessary.”

This is psychosis at a level that should get her committed involuntarily to a mental hospital, and it is a psychosis that is common among younger white women who get their news only from America’s enemies, the DNC and its far-left alliance of seditionists.

Yet, the MSM, the AI Prophet/Priests, and the DNC leadership are NOT traitors, they are NOT insurrectionists, and this shooting was COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED…. in Progmerica, but in AMERICA, the shooting was COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED and the DNC machine is an insurrectionist one.

And therein lies the heart of this event, the demonstrably clear difference between two nations, America and Progmerica, which have existed side by side with one another for more than 100 years now. To the Progmerican, America is a vehicle of power for the inventor of evil, the white devil, and that white devil has unleashed genocidal fury on a world now primed to deliver the FAFO season to America.

Every white woman raped by an illegal alien is socially justified recompense for the crime of being a white woman in a privileged land. Every illegal alien that enters America and grifts off our system is socially justified recompense for the colonizing crimes of the white devil, AMERICA.

To them, they have Jews hidden under the floorboards and we are the Nazis trying to find out where the Jews are (despite the fact that NO ONE hates Jews more than leftists, even as wealthy Jews support them).

This is why they are justified in spreading lies that produce insurrection, because the evil they are fighting is worse than the evil they are committing. This is the will to perceive overcoming the actual reality that THEY have been the ones looking to find Jews and kill them the whole time.

To this writer, the continued response by the left, from its rabble-rousing white woman rainbow terrorists to its MSM paid disseminators of info-terrorism, to the party’s leadership now openly calling for Civil War, is consistent with the fact that America is their enemy.

American values are death to their nation, and they are so far removed from Americanism they can no longer publicly hide their anti-American “values.”

The governor of Minnesota thinks it’s perfectly legal to threaten to call up the National Guard to fight ICE agents while he claims it is time to start a second Civil War. His lack of accountability for openly calling for a violent insurrection against Americans is only dramatically encouraging violent white leftist women and their cuckolded white male “allies” (serial rapists and sex pests all) to pull more triggers on guns aimed at Americans.

Even as we speak, DNC operatives and their AI platforms continue to spread the lie that this woman was an innocent mother at the wrong place who was just there to pick up her kids. They continue to lie in the face of video evidence that shows the officer fired directly into the front of the windshield, and not just the side as she passed him.

They continue to tell people the officer deliberately got in front of the vehicle when video evidence shows she turned, placing him in front of the vehicle.

They do so because, to them, it is a noble to lie to protect the Jews in the floorboards rather than allow the Jews to be killed. Only they aren’t protecting Jews, they are protecting criminals who have no interest, no desire to advance the cause of Americanism. They are here to destroy us, not join us, and THAT makes them allies with Progmerica, who wants the same thing, the death of America.

For those of you paying attention, this notion of two nations in one land is one we have been claiming for some time. We hope this incident at least helps the doubtful now clearly see what we mean by two nations in one land.

Progmerica is a nation whose Rule of Law is “Social” Justice, as in justice determined by identity not the facts of the dispute themselves. American Rule of Law is about impartial justice determined by the particular facts on the ground within an individual liberty context. Social Justice is a dog whistle for “OVERTHROW AMERICA!” whenever anyone says it. The individual is traitor to the social.

The separation is accelerating, as Americans identify fellow Americans and the insurrectionists identify fellow insurrectionists they can connect to and begin to rely on during this de facto interregnum.

Based on polling, this writer is assuming America accounts for 50% of the country, though maybe only half of them are fully aware of the two nations within them. Progmericans account for 30% of the country, but amongst those numbers are groups of people who are just as interested in murdering Democrats as they are Republicans, Progmericans as much as Americans, for their Progmericanism is far purer than the version the DNC hopes to exploit.

After this incident, this writer implores our readers to build up your connections to people you identify as American and pull back your reliance on connections to people you identify as Progmericans. Remember Progmericans have a code of ethics that gives them special permission to use violence, deception, fraud, theft, etc., as tools of manipulation against anyone they perceive as not being themselves.

God willing, soon we shall vanquish the Progmerican nation without becoming the monster we are fighting (a very real threat). God willing, the Progmerican will see the depravity of their worldview, repent, and return to the family of man, return to America, where they would be welcome back.

Barring that, let us gird our loins and prepare to fight to defend our children from the serial rape and murder Progmerica not only has in store for them but is already carrying out in territories still held by them. Let us hope for the American Reconquista!

“My advisers built a wall between myself and my people. I didn’t realize what was happening. When I woke up, I had lost my people.” – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

INTRODUCTION

On December 28th, 2025, protests erupted throughout the Islamic Republic of Iran. Decades of incompetence, corruption and incoherent policies have wrecked the Iranian economy to the point that the Iranian Rial (IRR) went from about IRR 48,000 to $1 USD in the first week of December, to crashing down to c.IRR 1.4 million to $1 USD on December 28. Clearly, this level of crash does not provide a sustainable economy.

These riots have the brutal “Islamic Republic” regime (which has abused and violated that nation for some 47 years) teetering on the brink of being overrun, and completely displaced. As of this writing, estimates of the death toll among protesters may be in excess of 12,000.

Decades of poor decisions have resulted in a fundamental undermining of both the natural environment and the rule of law in one of the most populated Muslim countries in the world. President Donald Trump, as this article goes to press, has made some provocative statements in support of the anti-regime protestors…and in doing so, risks disaster if he fails to follow through, or if he fails to follow through effectively (he may have followed through by the time this issue is released).

Essentially, he encouraged the ongoing unrest and declared “help is on the way.”

This report will get you caught up with where we are now and conclude with an analysis of Trump’s options once the “help is on the way” statement was made.

A. WHAT MAKES THIS REBELLION DIFFERENT

The most critical thing to understand about this particular series of anti-regime protests is that it began with the bazaari’s of the country – the small, bourgeoisie business owners who anchor the national economy.

This is important because the other massive protests that have erupted with regularity, beginning in 1999, and especially since 2009, were all based on angry students rioting over various issues, including women’s rights, but also over the deteriorating situation with the economy, making the degrees the students were working towards useless.

With this particular protest coming from the business underpinnings of the country, the tone was fundamentally different. Such a catastrophic collapse of the currency renders it virtually impossible for merchants – especially small merchants – to sustain business operations. These are not a bunch of angsty children demanding to be heard, but the base of what keeps the country running.

This, obviously, represents a breaking point for the regime. The escalating violence quickly shifted from mere economic anger to an all-out push by the common Iranian population to remove the current regime…in favor, apparently, of reactionary demands to return to a Constitutional Monarchy, led by the exiled heir to the Pahlavi throne.

The potential impact of a complete refutation of theological governance by one of the largest Muslim nations in the world by population is almost immeasurable. This is EXACTLY what Reza Pahlavi II is trying to do.

The ruling dynasty of Iran in 1979 was the Pahlavi Dynasty, headed by Shah Muhammad Reza. Much has been written about the Shah, and how he was a corrupt, vapid and brutal dictator, with savage secret police. The problem? Those claims are – without exception – the whole-cloth inventions of the current regime, and a hostile Western media establishment.

The Shah of Iran was the head of a functional Constitutional Monarchy, one that actually functioned as the concept is intended. He continually went out of his way to do everything he could to modernize and improve the condition of the Iranian people. The Ayatollah Khomeini, himself, had his death sentence commuted by the Shah…and repaid him by doing everything he could to undermine and unseat the Shah, proving that no good deed goes unpunished. This is especially ironic, given that the main driver of Khomeini’s commutation and exile was the head of the Shah’s SAVAK secret police.

The Shah was a progressive at a level that should make modern Liberal-Progressives blush with embarrassment. The Shah’s “White Revolution” not only enacted land reform, but also emancipated and empowered Iranian women, while trying to modernize the nation. The reason for the widespread anger at the Shah in 1979 had nothing to do with SAVAK, and everything to do with KGB-developed propaganda.

The endgame for Reza II is to apply what he has been working on for nearly five decades. Reza Pahlavi II has maintained a singular focus on his plan to transition the country out of its totalitarian-generated morass. It is for this reason that the protesters in Iran are chanting, “Long Live the Shah!”

B. FROM SHAH TO AYATOLLAH

Iran fundamentally changed in 1979. A combination of radical Islamists and Communists, both supported by the Soviet KGB, forced the then-Shah – Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, into exile. The Shah was terminally ill with cancer at the time, and without a strong statement of support from then-US President Jimmy Carter, the Shah decided that he did not want the blood of his people on his and his family’s hands, even though the Imperial Armed Forces were more than capable of suppressing the rioters.

As a result, the Islamic government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini came to power. Almost immediately, they facilitated the 1979 seizure of the United States embassy in the capital of Tehran, which remains closed to this day. The weakness Khomeini and his radical theocrats imposed on Iran by gutting the Imperial Armed Forces in a Stalin-scale purge, encouraged Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to invade and attempt to seize major Iranian oil infrastructures at the northern end of the Persian Gulf.

This initiated the eight-year bloodbath of the Iran-Iraq War. It is a testament to the warfighting ability of the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces that they were as effective as they were, despite the purges.

During the war, the Islamic regime ramped up their oppression of the Iranian people, even as it rammed children as young as 12 into battle against Iraqi machine guns, artillery and poison gas. As the war with Saddam Hussein came to an end, rather than working to rebuild the highly developed technical and manufacturing infrastructure they inherited from the Shah’s government, the mullahs in charge of the country functionally looted the industrial and manufacturing sectors more efficiently than any Third World tin-pot dictator ever could.

The result is that by 2025, Iran has been reduced to the level of an artisan/craft economy – exactly the sector of the bazaari’s whose businesses were rendered moot by the currency collapse. Iran has precisely two sectors left that can be considered “high tech”: the oil industry, and a low-tier defense sector.

The oil industry is not as much of an economic underpinning as it was previously, both due to sanctions on Iranian exports, and on the low price of crude, now hovering around $60 per barrel. There are additional major questions concerning Iran’s oil production infrastructure. In combination, this has rendered Iran’s potential oil wealth a moot point.

The overall industrial picture as presented by the regime is deceptively rosy. While there appears to be a robust manufacturing sector, including steel and automotive production, the vast majority of those products are not being exported for foreign currency intake, but for internal use.

The defense industry is stunted, despite breathless claims of its viability. Iranian fixed and rotary aircraft are low-quality reproductions of Imperial-era designs, while their land systems, like tanks, are also of very poor quality, copying already poorly designed and built Chinese systems. Similarly, Iran’s capacity to build any naval craft above the level of “Boghammer”-style armed speedboats is laughable, no matter how dangerous they might be. The one defense export Iran has is its combat drones.

While producing a wide array of combat drones, like the Shahed 129 (similar to the Predator)  long-endurance platform and the larger Shahed 149, plus the widely used delta-wings like the Shahed 136/131, these drones have significant military limitations.

Like most drones, these are only truly effective against forces lacking coherent air defense strategies. Even the Russians – desperate for weapons for its war in Ukraine, had to “modify” Iranian drones before they could be deployed in combat.

Likewise, the general industrial sector has stagnated since 1979, with many formerly stable companies being driven to bankruptcy due to nationalization and endemic central planning mismanagement by the regime. Coupled with a lack of foreign currency reserves, this has significantly limited the import of consumer products.

But these are just incidentals, as shocking as they are, because there is one overriding disaster that the incompetent regime in Tehran has stumbled into:

Water.

C. THE EXISTENTIALLY-BREAKING CONSTANT – NO POTABLE WATER

Water is one of those existential things that people generally do not think about – until it runs out. Without water, you have no crops, almost no electrical power at scale…and nothing to drink. The average human can last about three days without water before they are unable to function.

The roots of Iran’s water disaster ties directly back to the aftermath of their seizure of power in 1979. The mullah-led government, in the throes of a massive war with Iraq, launched a massive program of building dams wherever geography would allow one to go in, with no thought given to the impact on the water supply, because the corruption returns were too great to ignore.

Naturally, because the dams damaged natural flow and retention systems, the government massively pumped in artesian aquifers to keep the water supplies flowing. Unsurprisingly, this caused an eventual crash in the artesian systems themselves.

The conditions have deteriorated to the point that the regime was seriously considering relocating the capital out of Tehran before the current unrest, because their incompetence is continuing to rapidly depopulate the countryside, forcing rural populations to relocate to cities.

The regime has been trying to implement a large-scale desalination program to compensate. The program lacked any clear idea of the logistics involved…and those corruption returns, again, are – or were – highly attractive. The regime is strangling its highly profitable golden goose…because, simply put, they are so corrupt, they are incapable of making a right turn, not even to save themselves.

The broader implications of the regime’s corruption-driven failure in its water policy are a nightmare of inconceivable proportions waiting to happen. Iran has a population of about 92 million people. The possibility of massive displacement movements driven by thirst is very real and threatens to completely destabilize the entire region in ways not seen in living memory.

For outsiders, this is a highly dangerous situation, as it will completely up-end markets and investments, long before we factor in the raw security threats to personal and national safety. In the wider immediate, this situation directly threatens the viability of the Strait of Hormuz as a transit point for oil. In the broader scope, the potential closure of the Strait directly threatens the economies of the rest of the world.

This is not hyperbole. Despite the recent events in Venezuela, the South American state cannot make up the difference of the loss of that oil flow through the straits, despite its proven reserves, because a similar level of corruption and incompetence has left Venezuela with an oil infrastructure that is even more dilapidated than Iran’s.

The few overland pipelines running out of the Persian Gulf region cannot function as a viable bypass either due to a lack of volume and a lack of security, with a resurgent Islamic State terror group.

Russia is still bogged down in Ukraine, so it is in no position to act effectively, as the on-going U.S. seizure of several of their “ghost fleet” tankers has shown. Likewise, Communist China cannot fill the oil gap – if they can’t get to the oil, it doesn’t matter how many commercial tanker ships they have…which may well be why the Communist state is experimenting with arming its merchant vessels.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

Right now, Donald Trump is riding high (geopolitically) as he nears his first full year in office. With an improving economy, serious movement on dealing with illegal migrants, and the recent wins against Venezuela and Russia (in terms of the seizures of the ghost fleet tankers), Trump has made some very definitive and provocative statements in support of the Iranian Street

The danger with these statements by Trump is that he tends to make provocative statements as a strategic or tactical bluff, while refraining from any practical measures – in this case, that means even limited military action, in the form of airstrikes. Here, however, that strategy could backfire massively.

If Trump, after making strong and definitive statements of support, fails to follow through on those statements, he would face the same disastrous position as George H. W. Bush in the second quarter of 1991,when Bush implied that the US would support the Iraqi people if they rose up against Saddam Hussein. Although he never explicitly promised support, he did imply it.

His failure to provide support when the uprisings did happen, while not the only reason for the defeat of his reelection bid the following year (another failed promise, “read my lips, no new taxes,” being the main reason), DID play a role in cementing his “untrustworthy” branding. In Iran, however, Trump has pointedly told the Iranian people “help is on the way.”

This is placing Trump’s credibility directly on the line. Failure to provide direct, meaningful support to the protestors before the end of January will mean both the collapse of resistance but will also critically damage Trump’s aura with those anchoring their support of the GOP in the 2026 midterms to his credibility.

ED. NOTE: It will also damage the credibility of any future U.S. administration that might promise hope to the next round of dissenters (should they still “need” it).

Conversely, actually providing support brings the very real risk of “mission creep”, with implications of a massive “boots on the ground” requirement, as well as managing the geopolitical fallout on his own.

The phrase “help is on the way” is unambiguous in a way Bush’s “take matters into your own hands” was not. Trump has made a promise, not offered encouragement. The Iranian protesters, risking everything in 200+ cities, have heard that promise. So has the regime, which will use any American support – or lack thereof – to justify its response. And so has the rest of the world, from allies wondering if American commitments mean anything, to adversaries calculating whether this is the moment American resolve finally breaks.

The strategic calculus is brutal: limited support (intelligence sharing, sanctions enforcement, cyber operations) may prove insufficient to tip the balance, leaving protesters exposed to massacre while still giving the regime propaganda ammunition about American interference.

But substantial support – no-fly zones, arms shipments, direct strikes on IRGC facilities – risks the very mission creep that destroyed American credibility in Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan (reports indicate perhaps Israel is already doing some of this). Either path carries enormous risks; the only certainty is that doing nothing after saying “help is on the waywould be catastrophic.

The question becomes: what does meaningful support look like without repeating Iraq’s mistakes? Options range from minimal to maximal involvement:

At the low end, it means enhanced sanctions (which he’s appears to be already doing) targeting regime leadership personally, freezing their offshore accounts, providing encrypted communication tools beyond Starlink, intelligence sharing with opposition forces about regime troop movements. These carry minimal risk but may prove insufficient.

Mid-range options include establishing no-fly zones to prevent helicopter gunship attacks on protesters (the same tactic that crushed the 1991 Iraqi uprising), targeted airstrikes on IRGC command facilities, direct arms shipments to organized resistance forces, and formal diplomatic recognition of a Pahlavi transitional government. These would materially aid the uprising but risk escalation.

Maximum involvement would mean direct military intervention to decapitate the regime – a path that leads inevitably to occupation, nation-building, and all the disaster traps that implies. The stakes extend far beyond Trump’s political fortunes.

A successful Iranian revolution ending theocratic rule would fundamentally reshape Middle Eastern geopolitics. It would eliminate the primary state sponsor of Hezbollah, Hamas, and most of the various Shia militias destabilizing Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. It could enable a genuine Arab Israeli normalization beyond the Abraham Accords. Most critically, a restored constitutional monarchy with Pahlavi’s detailed transition plans could begin addressing the water crisis before it triggers the displacement of tens of millions of people.

Conversely, a failed uprising followed by regime survival would entrench the mullahs for another generation, embolden authoritarian regimes globally, and accelerate the water catastrophe. Worse still, American abandonment of Iranian protesters after explicit promises would validate every adversary’s claim that American commitments are worthless – a message that would resonate from Taipei to Kyiv to Jerusalem.

The problem is that the protesters, after Trump’s statements, may be expecting maximal support, while Trump’s political constraints and strategic caution suggests the minimal involvement route.  That gap between expectation and delivery is where credibility dies. There are few good options. While that lack is not Trump’s fault, he has inherited the situation, and now has to deal with it, because his statements of support are now water under the bridge.

ED. NOTE: As of the completion of this report on the morning of Friday, January 16, 2026, outside of tariff announcements by the President against nations that do business with Iran, the U.S. administration has not followed up on Trump’s claim, “help is on the way.”

  1. CBS INTERVIEW WITH TRUMP REVEALS NETWORK IS LOST TO PROGMERICA – After the hiring of Bari Weiss to remove the far-left propaganda from CBS News, doubt has remained as to just how hard Weiss would push and what she could accomplish. The jury is still out, but a recent interview by CBS News Anchor Tony Dokoupil of President Trump reveals a news standard that is aligned, once again, with Americanism.

Newsbusters’ assessment of the interview should please CBS News. They claimed, “The dust has settled on the second Trump interview of the Bari Weiss Era at CBS News. It is another positive step in the right direction, away from the usual talking point-laden gotchafests… Anchor Tony Dokoupil acquitted himself well, being firm but respectful. He brought questions, not talking points. He engaged, rather than scolded. This resulted in meaningful conversation, rather than performative confrontation.”

  1. ANTI-ICE TERRORIST-SUPPORTING STATES HIT IN TOURIST WALLET – The Anti-ICE States of California, Washington, New York, and the far-left city-state Washington D.C. are seeing their tourist numbers drop precipitously as the violence they continue to foment and protect drives both domestic and international tourists away. Losses vary, but the numbers across the board start at 15% reductions in every major tourist market. Here is the full breakdown from Travel and Tour World.
  2. SCOTUS OPENS FLOODGATES ON MASS MAILER ELECTION LAWSUITS – The United States Supreme Court voted by 7-2 that candidates in elections have standing to sue over Mass Mailer Ballot rules. The ruling could finally create a legal challenge to the obviously unconstitutional practice of allowing elections to be conducted in ways that are clearly impossible to secure.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, saying, “Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns. Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the support of the people they seek to represent.” The far-left insurrectionist judges, Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson dissented.

  1. MAHA BREAKS THE BIG FOOD PYRAMID – HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled the department’s update to the previous food pyramid. The pyramid is replaced with a 10-page guide. The Secretary said of the guide, “The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care cost.”
  2. 50-YEAR NET MIGRATION STREAK ENDS IN U.S. UNDER TRUMP – For the first time in 50 years, the net migration in the U.S. has reached a deficit. The report by the Brookings Institute reveals the net deficit in migration is due to a combination of forced and voluntary deportations coupled with a precipitous decline in new entries. The Brookins Institute concluded, “Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely.”
  3. TRUMP, MUSK RECONCILE AFTER MUSK PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR GOP IN 2026 – President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have officially reconciled their once-vitriolic differences, demonstrating that reconciliation ceremoniously at a Mar a Largo event. Musk said of the event, “Had a lovely dinner last night with @POTUS and @FLOTUS. 2026 is going to be amazing!”

This moment followed a post on X by Musk that telegraphed his position for the 2026 election, “America is toast if the radical left wins. They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won’t be America anymore.”

  1. TRUMP DELIVERS “MARSHALL PLAN” FOR AMERICA WORTH $18 TRILLION – President Donald Trump is touting the $18 trillion in foreign investments in America, calling it America’s Martial plan. As The Federalist pointed out, that’s equivalent to 120 Marshall Plans. The Federalist also contrasted this “Marshall Plan” with the “Green” Martial plan that saw nation-states, including America, invest $20 trillion in a project to reduce carbon emissions that produced next to no substantive carbon emission reductions.
  2. VANCE BLUNTS RINO EFFORT TO DISARM TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY – President Donald Trump needed VD Vance to stop the Senate from passing a bill that would handcuff President Trump’s military action in Venezuela. The Senate voted 50-50, with Vance casting the deciding vote in Trump’s favor. Had the bill passed it would have been vetoed, so the bill was a show bill intended to send Trump a message, but not one from the American people, one from the DNC-RINO party.
  3. THE ANTI-ICE INSURGENCY IS BEING HUNTED – Top White House advisor Stephen Miller is claiming the work to identify, arrest, and prosecute the network of insurrectionists supporting the anti-ICE terror assaults is nearly complete, so Americans should expect results soon. Miller claimed they have begun the work already of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks…” Trump followed up soon after with a Truth Social post that declared, “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”

Miller also told ICE officers, “You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony, he stated. “You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Now, data reported by the Wall Street Journal reveals bible sales following his assassination increased by 36% in September. The news follows overall trends towards increased bible sales, as well as printed book sales in general.
  2. NO MORE LOANS FOR ILLEGALS AFTER TRUMP ADMIN ENDS BIDEN RULE – The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and the Justice Department removed regulations from the Biden era that ordered banks not to consider the immigration status of its borrowers. Under the guise of “anti-racism,” the Biden administration created these regulations. The move by the administration is sure to be challenged in the courts.
  3. DILBERT CREATOR FINDS CHRIST AT THE END OF LIFE – Dilbert cartoon creator and political philosopher Scott Adams died at the age of 68 of cancer. Just before his death, Adams made a public declaration of belief in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World. While the media chose to slander him after his death, his fans celebrated his life, mourned his passing, and welcomed his acceptance of Christ as his savior.

Adams wrote, “If you are reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body failed before my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this January 1st, 2026…. So here I go: I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with Him…”

Against that backdrop, DNC government leaders, from Tim Kain to Chuck Schumer, and DNC supporters, from celebrities to influencers, keep spreading lies intended to get ICE agents killed. So far, Pam Bondi has made zero arrests.

As of January 15, the terrorists have seized FBI papers, destroyed vehicles, seized an ICE vehicle and took a rifle out of it, all while Minneapolis police, under the order of Progmerican Mayor Jacob Frey, stood down and allowed it to happen. President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to put down the Minnesota revolt, but some Americans are wondering why that isn’t being declared at the national level.

VENEZUELAN LEADER PLUCKED FROM CHINA’S PROTECTION – Despite the security provided President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela by his two strongest allies, Russia and China, U.S. forces were able to quickly enter the country and within less than 3 hours return with Maduro and his wife to the U.S. Reports of advanced military tech being used to easily overcome Venezuelan forces equipped in mid-range Chinese and Russian military tech have not been confirmed.

The move sends a powerful message to China and Russia’s allies that their protection might be no protection at all. Currently, Maduro is facing “evolving charges.” His VP has taken over and, as of now, appears to be willing to cooperate with the U.S. The role of Exxon in developing the oil earmarked for America (for resale on the market) is in doubt after the CEO went afoul of President Trump.

After refusing to come before the House Oversight Committee for questioning, both Clintons have been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said, “We’re going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress. The [Epstein estate] complied with our lawful subpoena. [Former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta] came in and were deposed because of our lawful subpoenas.

The final sticking point was over the “security guarantees” in the form of U.S. and European troop support. Putin called this nothing more than “foreign intervention.” To emphasize their point, the Russians also now claim that the push by British and European nations to build more military infrastructure in Ukraine will make their troops viable targets.

Nick Sherley, an independent reporter, broke the story of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of U.S. tax dollars being stolen through fake daycare centers run by Somalis.

Ilhan Omar’s recent effort to earmark $1 million for an ISIS-linked Somali ‘Non-Profit’ has triggered a call to investigate the organization and Omar’s connections to it.

AFTER JD VANCE HOUSE SHOOTING, SECRET SERVICE AGENT BETRAYS JD VANCE’S SAFETY ON UNDERCOVER VIDEO – An undercover video from an ACTUAL muckraker (and we mean that in the best sense), James O’Keefe, is exposing a secret service agent who is more than willing to put Vice President JD Vance’s life at risk. This comes shortly after a trans DNC activist shot into JD Vance’s home when he and his family were not there.

The agent shared the Vice President’s future traveling and event plans in an undercover video by The O’Keefe Media Group. The agent is Tomas Escotto, a five-year veteran of the force who came in under the President Joe Biden Committee.

Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn responded to the video by stating, “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,”

He characterized it in the American context, writing, “We are the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must ‘pay their own way,” His post does not address another conflict-of-interest crisis, water resources, which are also needed in large volumes to fund the AI brains.

Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration.”

Americanist Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) pushed forth the amendment as part of the appropriations package. The two judges targeted were James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman. Boasberg enabled Operation Arctic Frost and Boardman gave a would-be SCOTUS Judge assassin a lenient sentence.

  1. NY FIRES SALVO AT 3D GUN PRINTING – Progmerican NY Governor Kathy Hochul is making a push to figure out how to make software that enables 3D printers to print guns and gun parts illegal. Even as the real 2A push is increasingly heading to the drone frontier, the Progmericans are still hoping to contain the threat that comes from citizens equipped and capable of defending themselves against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC, with small arms.

Her office released this official statement: As part of her 2026 State of the State agenda, Governor Kathy Hochul today unveiled proposals to strengthen New York’s nation leading gun laws by cracking down on 3D-printed and illegal firearms. The new legislation would establish criminal penalties for the manufacture of 3D-printed firearms and order minimum safety standards to be established for 3D printer manufacturers to block the production of firearms and firearm components.

Here is how he chose to advance this Anti-First-Amendment narrative, “You’re seeing the polarization in countries that allow for the First Amendment and protect it, which is great. And I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it.

“Objects are Neurological Networks”

 

GROK:

The phrase “Objects are Neurological Networks” is an intriguing, somewhat poetic or philosophical formulation that doesn’t appear to be a direct quote from any widely established source (no exact matches turned up in searches across web results or X posts). However, it resonates deeply with several intersecting ideas in neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and AI research. I’ll unpack what it could meaningfully mean and point to the closest related concepts.

That’s a powerful statement. Interpreted philosophically and cognitively, “objects are neurological networks” suggests that what we experience as objects are not things-in-themselves, but stable patterns of neural activity constructed by the brain.

Here are a few ways to unpack and sharpen the idea:

“Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.”John Locke

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.” Valerie Jarrett

Our Bellwether storyline of 2025 is the dramatic erosion of individual liberty standards in three nations that were early leaders in the project that gave rise to those standards, “liberalism.” The first nation, England, may be ahead of the second nation, Canada, in killing that individual liberty spirit, but the third nation, America, is not far behind.

Last month, we suggested our top story of the year would be the first year of the second term of President Donald Trump. However, that story is only part of the much-larger story, the death of John Locke’s civilization and the emergence of a new one (or new ones).

In America, buttressed as it is through vast swathes of its territory populated by legally armed American citizens, John Locke is making a comeback in many ways, even if just it’s just in slowing down the bleeding.

In other ways, however, he’s all-but died already, especially (but not exclusively) behind enemy territory, Democrat-ruled lands.

We will highlight some of the bellwether stories within each nation’s own John Locke narrative. We will begin our analysis with a brief explanation of why we chose John Locke to be the bellwether of the larger story this year’s bellwether is framed within.

A. JOHN LOCKE’S BODY

John Locke was a 17th Century philosopher who created the underlying presupposition regarding the nature of valuing in governance that has created the civilizations featured in this report, Britain, Canada, and America. That underlying presupposition is that a society cannot progress if it cannot pursue truth. It cannot pursue truth if it does not respect the rights of others to be wrong.

The way we Americans would word it is this: Your rights end where your actions harm others. This is not only the standard individuals should live by, but it’s also the standard that will allow truth to flourish, and thus people to flourish, as a result. But where truth is oppressed in the name of protecting the weak from wrong thoughts, truth dies, followed by flourishing.

While Locke was a Christian, he was also an Empiricist, meaning he believed meaning was mostly derived from the perception of the material. He advocated the notion that the human mind was a blank slate, a tabula rasa.

He got to God through material understanding, saying, “We are capable of knowing certainly that there is a God. Though God has given us no innate ideas of himself; though he has stamped no original characters on our minds, wherein we may read his being; yet having furnished us with those faculties our minds are endowed with, he hath not left himself without witness: since we have sense, perception, and reason, and cannot want a clear proof of him, as long as we carry ourselves about us.”

The enemy attacking John Locke was born from his “liberalism,” though some “classic liberals” still claim a liberal center can hold. As of now, that does NOT appear to be case anymore for the liberal project. Perhaps it has hit that Kantean dialectical wall, where reasons pushes through into nonsense, which is what many claim liberalism ultimately did through “wokeness,” the alleged natural outcome of liberalism.

From Locke, for instance, we get the notion of “progress” as a necessary component of “human flourishing,” a notion the “Woke” still rely on today. From Locke, though, we get the American justification for these same restrictions on government power, though we add the assumption of a creator as the source for the recognition of “rights” of individuals. Still, that assumption of a creator is based on “reason” (or at least the mere capacity for reason), it does not come from a revelatory source.

This puts the liberal project in danger, but need we use the Lockean justification for an “individual liberty” respecting government or can we provide another justification for that claim? We believe we can provide an alternative justification, but one which is limited to communities that themselves are not compelled to use coercion as a means of socio-cultural or political influence.

This justification does not rest on anything but the pragmatic realization by such communities that a government bounded by individual liberty allows all participating communities opportunities to sustainably flourish on their own unique terms.

A government bounded by individual liberty allows member communities the space to freely practice their own standards and beliefs while also benefiting from the enriched value exchange potential between like-minded “neighbors,” other communities with their own standards and beliefs.

“Americanism” can be a pragmatic bridging standard between communities not willing to bear the sword in the name of their “god.”

This last year delivered serious blows to the corpse of John Locke. One hopes what rises has the spirit of individual liberty without the need for “justification” beyond an agreed standard between peaceful communities.

It is not the state’s role to settle such matters, it is merely the state’s sole justification for power, the fruit of a state that limits its power in recognition of individual liberty.

B. SOVIET UK

Here is the UK’s descent into madness told through the briefs we created through 2025. They are listed not in chronological order but in our editorial view of their importance and relation to one another. This format will be used for Canada and the U.S. as well:

  1. JANUARY 2025 – UK CONTINUES DESCENT INTO LEFTIST AUTHORITARIAN MADNESS The Labour Party is making every effort it can to destroy what’s left of Britain, with three actions showcasing the further devolution of the country towards authoritarianism.

Kier Starmer went to Ukraine to sign a “100-year deal,” meaning he envisions a one-party state if he feels he can make such guarantees. That one-party state will move closer to the Chinese Social Credit Score model with the start of its authoritarian Digital ID program, which it hopes will make all of its citizens, especially the natives, trackable. The coup-de-gras might be the Labour Party’s decision to not open an inquiry on child rape gangs that have been forming in Pakistani “communities.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – UK THINKS WE’RE STILL A COLONY? – Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s communications regulator has recently declared that Americans are not protected from UK prosecution for violating their soviet-styled speech laws when their social media posts reach their citizens. So far, talk of bills being written to deal with this foreign intrusion on American sovereignty is all that’s been seen in response to this assertion by the UK. They do this while they push forward with Online censorship, Digital ID, and now mass arrests of UK protesters.
  2. 3. SEPTEMBER 2025 – AFTER MASSIVE “UNITE THE KINGDOM” RALLY, STARMERS RESPONSE IS TO CALL THE RALLY RACIST – Prime Minister Keir Starmer is relying on the old rules of engagement when dealing with resistance to his anti-British planvasion plans. This time, in response to a half a million plus rallying in support of the British nation and national identity, Starmer chose to spread misinformation and lies about the rally.

He declared, “People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our countrys values. But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the color of their skin. Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity, and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country, and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear, and division.”

  1. JULY 2025 – UK LABOUR TO CHANGE VOTING LAWS TO MAKE CHEATING EASIER– The anti-UK government currently controlling the UK, Labour, has announced plans to rig the next election by lowering the voting age to 16 so they can get more freshly indoctrinated children to vote for their own demise. They also promise to “soften” voter ID laws to assure illegal alien invaders of the country can keep the anti-UK party in power.
  2. JUNE 2025 – BRITAIN PASSES BILL THAT LEGALIZES EUTHANASIA – The Terminally Ill Adults bill passed the UK parliament by a narrow 314-291 vote. The bill will allow mentally competent adults with 6 months or less to live to choose to be euthanized by medical staff. The concern is that the bill will start off with limited candidates for euthanasia, but keep expanding like Canada’s law has, which now even allows the mentally ill to “choose” death.
  3. APRIL 2025 – UK’S WOKE POLICIES LEADING TO “MISINFORMATION,” GOVERNMENT UNWITTINGLY ADMITS – The United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Home Affairs Committee issued a report that cited the policy of concealing the ethnicity of a suspect led to race riots. Those race riots happened after “false claims” spread online that an illegal immigrant stabbed three children to death. These “rumors” spread because the police failed to offer an identification to begin with.

ED.NOTE: The non-illegal was the son of illegal immigrants. Axel Rudakubana, 18, was the “British teen” the media reported on. His parents are Rwandan “immigrants.” He was later sentenced to 52 years minimum in prison, where he is currently enjoying reading Harry Potter books.

On December 18, 2026, Luke Yarwood was sentenced to 18 months in jail for tweeting in response to the Southport stabbings, which happened in 2024. His posts were seen a total of 33 times. They called for “slaughter in the streets” and encouraged people to “head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.”

C. CANADA

Canada’s descent into anti-liberty values can be seen in its doubling down on the “woke ideology” and its continued expansion of “euthanasia” as a means of culling from the social the unproductive and disruptive.

Here is the bellwether of their reality told in briefs from 2025:

  1. FEBRUARY 2025 – CANADA’S UNELECTED NEW PRIME MINISTER COMES OUT HARD AGAINST TRUMP, AMERICA – Now former PM Justin Trudeau’s party, the Liberal Party, has selected their new leader, and thus Canada’s new unelected Prime Minister, Mark Carney. The new PM faces re-election by this October. He has a well-documented history of being “anti-Trump.” He came to power after Trudeau announced his resignation in the face of wilting polling numbers for his party.

He began his campaign by telling his supporters, “Canada will never become part of America in any way, shape, or form… Donald Trump, as we know, has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living. He’s attacking Canadian workers, families, and businesses. We cannot let him succeed. And we won’t.” He later demanded, “American, SHOW US RESPECT.”

His bellicose anti-American rhetoric was presaged by a high-ranking member of his party, Chrystia Freeland, who was also a Liberal Party Leader candidate. She stated in her leadership campaign, “The U.S. is turning predator and so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies. I would start with our Nordic Partners, specifically Denmark, which is also being threatened, and our European NATO allies. I would be sure that France and Britain were there, who possess nuclear weapons.” Read full report

  1. MAY 2025 – CANADA DOUBLES DOWN ON WOKE AS ALBERTA CONSIDERS SEPARATION – Canada has doubled down on its commitment to woke authoritarianism, re-electing a Liberal government led by woke globalist Mark Carney, who promises to mostly keep the same dystopian course Canada is already going down.

At one point the conservative, Pierre Poilievre, led the Labor Party by 20 points, then PM Justin Trudeau stepped aside, and Poilievre chose to run away from Trump and MACA, Make Canada Great Again. Carney’s party holds a minority plurality with 170 seats, 2 seats short of a majority.

As a response, the province of Alberta has introduced Bill 54, which would allow for a referendum on Albertan separatism in light of Canada’s doubling down on a far-left government that puts ideology over people, party over Albertan sovereignty, and well-being. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stated “I believe in Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada. However, there is a citizen referenda process that if citizens want to put a question on a ballot and get enough of their fellow citizens to sign that petition, then those questions will be put forward. Again, I don’t want to prejudge what a question might be.”

  1. APRIL 2025 – SUICIDE IS BEING PUSHED ON AILING CANADIANS? – Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals of Canada’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).

She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die – whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures – reminding us that the stakes are high – life and death, no less.”

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – 90K PEOPLE EUTHANIZED BY CANADA SINCE “ASSISTED SUICIDE” BECAME LAW IN 2016 – So far, 90,000 people have taken advantage of Canada’s law, MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) which legalizes assisted suicide. In 2024, there were 16,500 MAID suicides, which accounted for 5% of total deaths that year.

Canada’s average wait time to see a specialist is now at 27.7 weeks, an all-time high, and this fact alone has led to documented suicides, including from a Winnipeg woman who wrote just before her MAID suicide, “I could have had more time if I had more help.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – CANADA WANTS MOLOCH TO HAVE A DOCTOR’S LICENSE – Canada is now moving to add children to the growing list of people who can be “eligible” for “medically assisted in dying” suicide (MAID). So far, being poor, being disabled, being chronically ill, being depressed, suffering for autism, suffering from PTSD (even if you’re a veteran) qualifies you for MAID. Now, euthanasia advocates are moving their demands from MAID for the ADULT TERMINALLY ILL ONLY to “let’s not let age be a limit.”

D. AMERICA

In America, we have Trump’s MAGA turning a blind eye while Trump does decidedly un-American things, while the DNC’s base increasingly supports violence as a means of political persuasion. The briefs of 2025 will follow first with the DNC, then with President Trump. The briefs start off with the true bellwether of the DNC Progmerica, Virginia’s Attorney General Jay Jones, who easily won the election despite being caught wanting to MURDER his political opponent and his family:

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – VA AG WANTS TO MURDER GOP CHILDREN, DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM – Virginia’s current Attorney General, Democrat Jay Jones had private text messages exposed that revealed his desire to kill his GOP opponent. He claimed that if he had two bullets, his GOP opponent, and two of the evilest people in human history, he’d use both bullets to kill his opponent. He later expressed desire to kill the opponent’s children.

Since his text messages were revealed, it’s also been exposed he promoted killing cops as a way to change their racist behavior. Yet despite all that, the Democratic Party, including their candidate for Governor, continue to support Jones. No top national Democrat has called on him to quit the race. He remains endorsed by all the major gun control groups and top members of the Virginia General Assembly.

ED.NOTE: He went on to win the election. Less than half of VA voters thought his text were disqualifying. John Locke’s spirit was not in Virginia that night.

  1. JULY 2025 – DNC CRIMINAL MEDIA, POLITICIANS, PUSH TO INCITE, ENABLE VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE AGENTS – The Democrat Party is overtly becoming the party of insurrection, inciting violence against Americans. Michigan Democrats are pushing for a law that would make it illegal for ICE agents to wear masks.

The criminal media is doing its part, pushing lies intended to incite violence against ICE agents. Daily Kos’ headline, “ICE is paying big bucks to come back and terrorize immigrants,” might as well be an order to its insurrectionist base to kill the fascist. Crooks and Liar’s headline, “Tom Homan Shifts ICE Detention Goal Posts, As Fascists Do,” puts an assassination target directly on the border czar himself. against the republic.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – CALIFORNIA LAW WOULD UNMASK ICE; DHS TELLS THEM TO POUND SAND – The insurrectionist state of California passed legislation intended to blunt efforts by the Trump administration to remove illegal aliens from their lands. One bill, signed into law by Gavin Newsom (D-CA), would make it illegal for Federal ICE Agents to wear masks during their operations. The move is intended to help terrorists find the agents at their homes and hurt them and their families.
  2. NOVEMBER 2025 – FOREIGNERS GAVE THE DNC NGOS OVER $2 BILLION – In recent years, more than $2 billion has been sent to DNC-aligned far-left anti-Americanist groups, many with ties to Antifa affiliations, with no checks by regulators. A report from Americans for Public Trust (APT) has exposed the foreign money pipeline driving anti-American hate through DNC-affiliated groups.
  3. NOVEMBER 2025 – DEMOCRATS TELL SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY TRUMP’S ORDERS – Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) led 5 Democrat U.S. legislators in a viral video campaign appealing to the military to “refuse illegal orders.” Now, Kelly could face a military recall and court martial, while all six face potential treason charges, The video campaign was called “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” One legislator, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), when pressed, could not identify any specific “illegal orders.”

President Trump’s suggestion that treason means hanging triggered House Democrats to call the Capital Police for reasons not given. Since the viral video, more Democrat legislators have come out in support of the open call for military members and intelligence officials to commit, in essence, treason.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN MOVING ONTO MILITARY BASES IN WAKE OF RISING PROGMERICAN THREATS – U.S. officials are increasingly moving themselves and their families onto military bases in response to rising threats from within that are connected to the usual Progmerican, DNC blue shirts threats. In addition to the DNC threats, the officials are also facing an “ongoing foreign threat.”

In response to this ratcheting up of threats, the Trump administration is building “a quick reactionary force” in every state through the National Guard to deal with the rising DNC blue-shirts threats. Some of the officials include Marco Rubio.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – TRUMP LOOKS TO RESTORE GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA BAN LIFTED UNDER OBAMA, TO BE CALLED THE “CHARLIE KIRK ACT” – In what would be another blow to the DNC’s narrative control machine, President Trump has endorsed the plan to reactive the Smith-Mundt act. This act prevented the U.S. government from creating or paying for propaganda aimed at U.S. citizens. The act was rescinded in Section 1078 of the National Defense Authorization Act in 2013 under President Obama. The act will be called the Charlie Kirk Act.

ED.NOTE: This promise has yet to be fulfilled and appears largely forgotten.

  1. MAY 2025 – PALANTIR GIVEN KEYS TO SPY ON AMERICANS – The Trump administration has handed over American personal data to the data management company Palantir, a company headed by Peter Theil, who was also a major early supporter of Vice President JD Vance. The administration’s efforts to create a central database for multiple departments to share seem incongruous with his anti-Deep State public stance.

There is unease amongst Trump’s base about the creation of a tool the Deep State has always wanted to have, central monitoring of Americans’ personal daily data. Right now, Palantir will be (or allegedly has already been) using this tool to help round up illegal aliens, and it is in this guise that the administration may hope to convince his base to go along with such an anti-MAGA action.

  1. AUGUST 2025 – TRUMP DEFENDS DECISION TO ALLOW 600K CHINESE STUDENTS TO COME TO AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES – In a move that seems to be an absolute reversal of his previous policies, President Trump has announced plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students to go to American universities, though they can only stay for 4 years. Trump defended the decision, claiming, “We’re getting along very well with China…it’s very insulting to say ‘students can’t come here.’” The White House also clarified this is not allowing MORE students in than were already being allowed, it’s simply not decreasing in numbers from the previous administration.

He offered more defense, further claiming, “Because they’ll go out and start building schools … but I like that [China’s] students come here. I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn’t? Our college system would go to hell, very quickly. … And it wouldn’t be the top colleges; it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom. …

And I told this to President Xi: That we’re honored to have their students here. Now with that, we check, and we’re careful, and we see who’s there … But we have a tremendous college system, the best in the world. Nobody even close – that’s why China sends them here. You can call it an industry if you want … I’m honored to have the students from China come here.”

  1. AUGUST 2025 – IS NATIONALIZING INTEL THE CONSERVATIVE THING TO DO? – Efforts by Donald Trump to de facto nationalize a part of the chipmaking company Intel are being met by stiff resistance and confusion from his conservative base. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said of Trump’s plan to purchase 10% of the company, “If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism? Terrible idea.”

SUMMARY

In the UK, a statement of faith in a public street could get you plaudits or prison, depending on whether your god was Christian or any other god. In the UK, a statement of pride in the English race will get you imprisoned, while a statement of pride in any “non-white” race will get you plaudits.

Now, their laws reflect the woke ideology. Social justice has replaced individual justice. The case is decided by the party’s social class; if it’s English, or even just culturally British, not only is it not protected, but defending it publicly is likely committing a felony.

In some ways Canada is ahead of the UK, but in other ways the UK is ahead of Canada. When it comes to free thought, the UK is now rocketing past Canada as far as assaulting it. Under Starmer, jury courts are now suspended for criminal charges threatening less than 3 years prison time. This unilateral decision alone should show the British that a constitution might be better than common law after all, for, in principle, the common law standards of the British would never allow such moves, not even from the King. Ask Charles I about overstepping his authority, or James II.

AP’s coverage of the news reflects its ties to the globalist left regime. It sanitizes the news with the sales pitch Labour itself is using. Its headline said, “UK government plans to scrap some jury trials in an attempt to clear a court backlog.”

While the UK is just pushing through Euthanasia bills, Canada reveals its assault on the principles of individual liberty by pushing euthanasia on an increasingly broad swathe of people, which soon will include children and already includes the disabled and the depressed.

In Canada, the wait list to see a doctor is already leading some to choose euthanasia instead.

The commodification of the soul is even more advanced in Canada than it is in the UK, though the UK most likely is about to surpass them should their power remain as consolidated as it currently is (despite the government’s historic unpopularity).

In all three nations we see the national press, the established press, the corporate press in each country acting as content marketers for the far-left party either in power or seeking to return to power. The press is not the fourth estate, as it would emerge first in England and then in America (and then, through most Western countries), it is the PARTY ESTATE.

In America, the press seems to push knowing lies intended to get Americans harmed or killed, all in service of the party, the DNC. The party itself is more than willing to incite violence against Americans and will openly continue to endorse major candidates for major offices even AFTER they are exposed as wanting to murder their political opponent’s family.

They are social justice warriors, meaning they’re willing to destroy things to change the values in America from individual justice to social justice. While this anti-American “justice” hasn’t fully taken over in American courts, it’s certainly increasingly encroaching on it.

So long as Democrats rule, it will continue to encroach until it becomes the new Rule of Law in a land that used to be America, but is now Progmerica, the nation that grew within America as a parasite then shed her dead body when the beast could emerge on its own.

Social Justice is justice based on your social identity, not American Rule of Law. Its standards are on their face unconstitutional whenever they are forced on Americans, be it by government or corporations. The case is not judged impartially, according to the facts, and according to the same legal standards that are applied to everyone else; the case is judged by the standing of your social identity.

Yet even the only credible opposition to the DNC, MAGA, is led by a man who appears to associate greatness with wealth more than he does individual liberty. Trump is to America what Canada once was to America, a close facsimile, but lacking a fundamental Americanist bulwark (as witnessed by how rapidly Canada lost its gun rights once the far left decided it was time to disarm the opposition).

Thus, this year, John Locke has nearly died in the UK, is all but dead in Canada, and is on his last legs in America.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“We become more polarized, and more polarizing, when we start spending our time in polarizing environments. I have seen it in myself, and I have watched it in others: when we’re going for retweets, or when our main form of audience feedback is coming from partisan junkies on social media, it subtly but importantly warps our news judgement. It changes who we cover and what stories we chase. And when we cover politics in a more polarized way, anticipating or absorbing the tastes of a more polarized audience, we create a more polarized political reality.”Ezra Klein (Why We’re Polarized)

In our first ever Bellwether Deepdive, we saw the descent into social-driven ideologies across three nations. One of those nations, England, gave birth to the Lockean world of “liberalism,” the notion that bad action should be given free reign until it harms others.

This liberty is allowed for the sake of good action being able to freely take place as well (for no “expert” can perfectly define what “good action” is in the first place).

The other two nations, America and Canada, are direct descendants of the first, the mother nation, Britain. In Canada, they mostly followed the Common Law path like Britain in pursuit of individual liberty. In America, we followed a Constitutionally buttressed Rule of Law. One dramatically slowed down gun confiscations, the constitutional one, and the other two surrendered their guns as soon as the first wave of fear hit the public after a mass shooting event.

In the constitutional republic, while America is the mother of wokeness (with the Europeans building the seed that made wokeness possible), Canada and the UK have fallen far more profoundly than the source for wokeness has.

The ability to dramatically alter government power is an incentive to use mass hysteria manipulation to create more government power at the further cost of liberty. Wherever great power exists, in any institution, the incentive to offer grand promises increases, leaving well-intended, virtuous players with the difficult decision of surrendering their integrity or losing the contest altogether.

Great power attracts just the kind of people who are good at playing such games, psychopaths and psychotics, people less inclined to hesitate in their self-empowering actions even it means hurting, or even killing thousands, or even millions of their neighbors.

Even within America, corporate power centers have created de facto nations within America in which their powers are easily enhanced with a little mass hysteria manipulation. The left and right in America, for instance, are regularly begging the corporate state to censor their opposition on social media platforms.

For a while, this was inordinately a “leftist” problem, but its increasingly a rightist problem as well. The internecine war within the right over Israel alone has produced the same anti-American spirits in them as they originally fought against in the left.

To some degree, both left and right in America are becoming increasingly social-driven in their values as opposed to individual driven. This is happening to some degree in the UK but not so much in Canada. In the UK, the “right” effectively has no voice, but an emerging “Britain for the British and England for the English” group is emerging.

Though the conservatives and reform seem to be unevenly dividing the spoils of the Britian for the British crowd, neither party is remotely engaging pragmatically with the existential occupation of the country by an anti-UK party. The party of the British has yet to be identified, though there are many contenders. The leaders, reform and conservatives, are effectively woke-captured, if not woke themselves.

In Canada, the right is a pause that gives an increasingly small number of Canadians the illusion of enfranchisement. The fecklessness of the right leaves it with no real power to quibble over, though it too is effectively woke-captured. The “Canada for Canadians” crowd forming is not a strong as the “Canada become America” crowd forming in the Western Provinces.

The one who offers gold and blood gets the votes where the state has the power to attempt to deliver it.

In America, the state was bypassed by the corporate state, who then normalized anti-Americanism in the socio-cultural products and services it provided and how it managed the help.

As anti-American “values” become normalized, they become more accepted in our schools, which are also dominated by these same social-driven ideologies, the “woke.” Though it started in the schools, it was only AFTER the corporate state adopted it that it started to inflict real harm on the American republic and the innocent lives of Americans.

Unlike Britian and Canada, ironically, the American corporate state was able to lead the worldwide vanguard of wokeness because it could change its corporate governance the easiest. The same unaccountable power was first found in the universities, where “wokeness” first gained its real territorial foothold.

In an institution with unchecked power, the leaders are those that offer heaven and threaten hell, those that offer gold and blood. Social-driven ideologies are tailor-made for such narratives. It is hard to generalize in individual-driven narratives, for good or for ill.

Initially, the American corporate state was the incubator for social-driven ideologies writ on human flesh at a large scale, but once wokeness infiltrated the governments of Canada and the UK, they became even more powerful incubators. The woke institutions went from indirectly having government guns (through the protections government offered these infiltrated insurrectionist institutions) to having them directly.

These governments lacked first the constitutional bulwark, then the armed populace bulwark. These nations became woke paradises selling fake fear and false hope in exchange for real power they never intend on returning.

These social-driven ideologies imagine that a finite number of individuals can centrally determine truth for the overwhelming whole. They not only CAN but they MUST protect the unwashed from untruths. The promise is always part revenge and part Utopia.

Anything that offends the established preferred social identities is untruth in and of itself. The experts, who inform the state, should be our primary guides in evolving our understanding of what the perfect social is and how to assure the perfect social is protected from subversive action.

They are so certain of their possession of truth they are willing to lie, cheat, steal, assault, rape, and murder to assure their truth is affirmed by their neighbors. Not only are they willing to do it, they feel as if their neighbors deserve it.

As a matter of fact, to NOT support this punishment and to NOT participate in it, is a dog whistle that you belong to the evil outside group in secret.

Social media rose in the backdrop of a generation of college students being quietly “educated” in anti-American thinking, in social justice thinking. These digital entrepreneurs became the first real enforcers of a woke code that, without social media in the first place, would never have been so near-instantly, near-universally, enforceable.

And all it took was no more than a few hundred woke-manipulated college students to grow to become anti-American technocrats now fighting the other centers of woke power for hegemony in a post-world America they all hoped for.

Social media amplified and normalized the woke code not only through its content moderation governance and its algorithms that caused certain content to get promoted over others, but also through its content creators. These creators were incentivized to drive narratives through offerings of heaven and threats of hell, and promises of gold and blood, because strong emotions drive engagement, and engagement makes money.

How to make an agit-prop agent: Control the social media moderation team. Control the social media algorithm machine. Pay for clicks. Watch the agit-prop creators emerge. No training necessary. The algorithm will train them.

Social-driven ideologies are click-baith ideologies, always offering the grandest of statements about the evil nature of this social group and the noble nature of this social group. They always tell the dramatic lie of a dragon versus a small but brave and noble angel who needs corporate and state power to even have a CHANCE at defeating the great dragon who would otherwise consume us all.

Where power is unchecked, social-driven ideologies reign. Where power is checked, social-driven ideologies die. Social-driven ideologies thrive with great, fluid power, but wither within systems that move with the speed of a balance of power checked by individual liberty.

Ever since Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the social-driven ideology has fought to make it back into America, where it found unsafe harbor in a land still largely held in check by individual power. It found oxygen in the universities, who were allowed to thug on woke’s political opposition unchecked by simply shutting the hiring door behind them once they got in.

Once the gates were built, the wokeness spread throughout the departments, with the physical sciences even now boldly attempting to hold out, the last of a dying American age.

Had social media not come along, creating a network of dopamine need fiends dependent on platforms controlled by an elite woke few, perhaps wokeness would have died in American universities. Once it got out in the wild, once social media spread throughout the world, wherever governments had centralized power, wokeness took root like it still hasn’t here in America.

As always, history is complicated, but my somewhat simplified narrative is still essentially true: Educators created technocrats who created platforms where the clickocracy could reign.

Politicians who know that their customers will follow rage bait must either choose to remove themselves from the playing field or start screaming angels and demons and singing promises of blood and gold.

Otherwise, they have no chance in a clickbait world. With social media, and a corporate press to protect you, the woke politician has all the incentive in the world to drive heaven and hell, gold and blood narratives, truth be literally damned.

One could theorize that the clickopoly is the product of social-driven culture and also the perpetuator of it. The less power the corporation, the state has over the individual, the less effective click-bait narratives will be when attempting to manipulate the masses to do your dark bidding. The reverse of that is true as well, and we are living in that reverse world now.

From this reality of power in 2015, we see first the rise of Trump and all the other Trumpians that followed him, from JD Vance to Jasmine Crocket, all products of clickbait or die culture. Hillary Clinton, for instance, only turned to clickbait culture towards the end of her campaign, when she started to figure out what Trump was doing. That’s when she came up with the “basket of deplorables” line.

While Trump’s demon, the anti-American, child-sacrificing DNC, is very much real, his angel, MAGA, isn’t. And now, MAGA is already infighting over Israel, using the same angels and demons narratives against each other that the left once used on them.

As it stands today in America, the remnant is smaller than this writer imagined, but should we find one another, technology is on our side in building our own America within what is increasingly looking like a Progmerica of sorts about to emerge, but one that will be short-lived.

When their world collapses, our world will fill the void left behind and once again we shall resume the American experiment, towards liberty for all through a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people.

But we must be building now to be the light for tomorrow’s coming dark clouds.

  1. JANUARY 2025DC MID-AIR COLLISION LEAVES SCORES DEAD – A collision between a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger plane has killed 67 people, including members of both the U.S. and Russian national figure skating teams. Speculation about what caused the crash points to errors potentially made by air traffic controllers, who may have been understaffed.

The crash happened in Washington, D.C., with both aircraft plunging into the Potomac River after the collision. There were no survivors from either aircraft. President Trump has suggested Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies may have led to the crash. The crash occurred Wednesday night, January 29, 2025.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – WHITE WOMAN MURDERED ON CHARLOTTE TRAIN BECOMES SYMBOL OF AMERICAN DIVIDE – 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was murdered on a Charlotte, North Carolina, subway while passengers watched and failed to come to her aid. Decarlos Brown, 34, can be seen in the now-viral video striking Zarutska in the neck with a knife. She bled out while not one fellow passenger helped her. (We wrote in more detail about this event in the September 2025 Mid-Month Issue).

The Mayor of the city, Democrat Vi Lyles, chose to focus on the murderer, saying, “While I do not know the specifics of the man’s medical record, what I have come to understand is that he has long struggled with mental health and appears to have suffered a crisis. This was the unfortunate and tragic outcome.” Read More on Charlotte Stabbing

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – THE SHUTDOWN IS OVER – The U.S. government re-opens after the filibuster is broken. The U.S. Senate has finally passed a filibuster vote on the continuing resolution to keep the government open. Eight democrats, including Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman, voted in favor of the motion, helping the GOP reach the 60-vote threshold.

Two key points in the CR:

1.The CR bill makes hemp-based THC products illegal which Rand Paul tried to stop. Congress has one year to fix this “problem.”

  1. The Democrats will NOT get their requested Obamacare subsidies that Republicans claim supported illegals and freeloaders.

The House passed the measure on a partisan vote. The President signed the bill late Wednesday night, November 12, 2025.

  1. MARCH 2025JFK FILES INDICT CIA BUT OFFER NO SMOKING GUN ON ACTUAL ASSASSINATION – The much-anticipated release of the John F Kennedy assassination files was met with an underwhelming response as the documents, more than 80K newly released documents, don’t offer a smoking gun to prove Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act alone.

What it does show is that the CIA used media manipulation and psyops to nudge the perception of culture alone towards its own self-serving ends. These actions weren’t against foreign countries, they were against the American people.

At this point, however, the news was hardly even noteworthy as it simply affirmed what the vast majority of people suspect: our news, our lives are being coercively manipulated to serve the interests of the CIA, not the American people.

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – TRUMP PUSHES AMERICA TOWARDS THE BRINK OF WAR WITH VENEZUELA – After President Donald Trump ratcheted up the pressure on Venezuela’s Maduro regime through drone strikes on drug boats, Venezuela has responded with vows to “protect” their interests from U.S. aggression. Now, the President is pushing both nations towards the brink of war, declaring the Maduro regime a terrorist organization and ordering all oil tankers seized.

Trump alerted Americans through Truth Social, “I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. (They are) completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.”

The Maduro regime has responded by promising to protect their oil tankers with their own Navy. Trump has also placed a $50 million bounty on Maduro’s head. Maduro is alleged to have offered to resign on condition he remain in control of the military, but that offer, if it happened, was refused. The reason for Trump’s incursion into Venezuela may have more to do with China than anything else. A future MIA might delve into that possibility.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – SCOTUS RED MASS GETS BOMB SCARE FROM ANTI-ICE LEFTIST – St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, D.C. may have been the target of a potential terrorist attack. The DC Metropolitan Police confronted 41-year-old Louis Geri of Vineland, NJ just ahead of the “Red Mass,” a mass that was held to pray for legal officials, especially the Supreme Court Judges. The police discovered multiple incendiary devices inside the tent he had set up on the cathedral’s steps.

Geri was rabidly anti-ICE and anti-SCOTUS as revealed in his manifesto. He had been trespassed off the premises before. He is being charged with Unlawful Entry, Threats to Kidnap or Injure a Person, and Possession of a Molotov Cocktail. It is not uncommon for SCOTUS judges to attend the mass.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – U.S. MINT STRIKES ITS FINAL PENNY – On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the U.S. mint in Philadelphia struck its last-ever-penny, ending a 232-year tradition. The move comes following a Presidential order by President Trump. Every penny made costs 4 cents to make, costing the American taxpayer millions of dollars each year. In February, the President wrote “For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!”
  2. DECEMBER 2025 – COLLEGE REPUBLICAN MURDERED IN BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING – A (now known) gunman opened fire on a Brown University campus on December 13, 2025, killing 2 students and wounding 9 others. The shooter entered the classroom and opened fire, using a 9mm handgun. The victims were identified as Ella Cook, 19, Vice President of the College Republicans on the Brown campus, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov,18, an Uzbekistan student.

Police were looking for two people of interest, one of whom was seen in proximity with the suspect. One person of interest, Mustapha Kharbouch, had a now deleted report in which he called for “sustained confrontation,” specifically for Israel supporters. We could not confirm Ella’s stance on Israel, but her profile strongly suggests she did.

LATE BREAKING: The authorities claim Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, is the shooter. He also murdered an MIT professor. He is here on a student visa and has been for over two decades now. The alleged shooter was found dead in a storage container. No more details were available at the completion of this report.

  1. JULY 2025 – ICONIC AMERICAN PASTOR, JOHN MACARTHUR, PASSES – During the Covid-19 era, Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church stood tall and kept his church open, defying civil law in favor of God’s law. His pastorship goes back decades, and his impact on American Christianity has been significant, with many top Pastors today citing MacArthur as one of their biggest influences.

While MacArthur planned on coming back after a recent bout with illnesses, that would prove not to be the case. The Pastor caught pneumonia and died at the age of 86. MacArthur’s central gospel message was one he spoke until the end. Speaking of the job of Pastor, MacArthur said, “Being a pastor means you’re a truth-teller. The whole purpose of the Christian message is to confront the sinner’s sin so you can call the sinner to repentance and forgiveness… The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.”

  1. DECEMBER 2024 – HEALTH INSURANCE CEO ASSASSINATED, AND THE LEFT CELEBRATES – UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was assassinated in New York City allegedly by 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who was arrested 5 days after the December 4 assassination at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA. He was found to have incriminating evidence on him at the time of his arrest, including the 3D-printed gun used in the killing.

Mangione is claiming he was set up, though many on the American left are convinced he is the killer, and for that, he is being celebrated as a hero. Allegedly, Mangione killed Thompson due to the company’s policy of “delay, deny, defend” to assure paying customers don’t get paid off when they actually get ill. The killer left three bullet cases at the scene that said Delay, Deny, Defend, which is also the title of a book about the health insurance industry’s unethical practices of denying coverage to save money.

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – ISLAMISTS MURDER JEWS ON AUSTRALIAN BEACH – On December 14, 2025, an Islamist Father-son team assaulted Jews celebrating Hanukkah on an Australian beach called Bondi Beach. The pair managed to murder 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl, and injure more than 40 others. The father, Sajid Akram, 50, was killed on scene while the son, Naveed Akram, 24, is in hospital facing numerous murder and terror charges.

More arrested have happened since then, though details on those arrests are not yet forthcoming. A Muslim man temporarily stopped one of the assailants, but Australian laws don’t support gun defense, so the hero hesitated once he got the rifle from the assailant, leaving him to escape and rejoin the attack. Australian leadership is blaming guns and calling on MORE gun control laws as a response despite video showing police on scene cowering and surrendering during the attack.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – NANCY PELOSI OFFICIALLY RETIRES – At the ripe old age of 85, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is finally leaving congress. She has served in congress since 1987. She has served as Speaker of the House not once, but twice. Her role in undermining Americanism while advancing Progmericanism is laudable for Progmericans but treason to Americans. She made the official announcement while appearing to groom her daughter, Christine Pelosi, to take her place (which didn’t work… yet).
  2. OCTOBER 2025 – TRUMP DOUBTS HIS OWN SALVATION – President Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One shortly after signing a peace deal that ended the Gaza War that he doubts his own salvation. Peter Doocy of Fox News asked if ending this war might help him get to heaven. Trump replied, “I don’t think there’s anything gonna get me in heaven. I think I’m not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven.”
  3. APRIL 2025 – REAL ID BECOMES REALLY REQUIREDAs of May 7, 2025, if you want to fly on a U.S. plane and you are an American citizen, you will now be required to have a Real ID to do so. This follows delays in the deadline that go back to 2020. The major difference between Real ID and current Federal ID is the increase in documentation requirements, like verifying social security numbers, compared to current Federal IDs.

The underlying methodology is what makes Real ID a potential threat to liberty. Read more about REAL ID here.

  1. AUGUST 2025 – TRANS TERRORIST MURDERS CHILDREN IN CHURCH PRAYER, LEFT DECLARES DEATH OF PRAYER – A transgendered nihilist named Robert “Robin” Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injured 17 other children. His mother once taught at the Catholic School he opened fire on. The media focused on defending him from being “deadnamed,” as well as calling for guns to be confiscated. Some Republicans, including Trey Gowdy, joined in. Leftists also declared, “Where’s your god now?” and “Where’s your prayer now?” to Christians wherever they found them online.

The children were participating in a yearly traditional Prayer Mass that begins the school year at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN. The terrorist was well aware of the school and the mass, using an AR-15, a shotgun, and a 9mm handgun to fire through an opaque window before being killed by officers. Some children protected other children with their own bodies, including one who was injured in the shooting. READ MORE ON MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SHOOTING

  1. MAY 2025POPE FRANCIS DIES, POPE LEO XIV LIVESAfter the death of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025, and the funeral that followed, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church gathered to select the next Pope to replace him. In the end, they defied oddsmakers, picking a longshot, President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, Robert Francis Prevost. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV.

Prevost is the first-ever U.S. citizen to serve as Pope. He is also the first-ever Peruvian citizen to serve as Pope due to his dual citizenship. He was born in Chicago but spent over a decade in Peru doing missions work. His appointment by Francis to his most recent office suggests he may be more aligned with the Catholic “left” than the Catholic “right.” Read the full blurb report

  1. FEBRUARY 2025 – FIRST ROUND OF EPSTEIN FILES A DUD – The first phase of the Epstein Files release plan occurred Thursday, February 2025, but it revealed little of substance. The bigger story was news that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s ACTUAL scheduled release may have been sabotaged by insurrectionists working within the FBI’s NY office.

FBI Director Kash Patel made it clear the efforts by the NY office might not end well for the saboteurs acting in the interest of the Democratic Party over the American republic. He stated, “The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.

  1. JUNE 2025 – MINNESOTA POLITICIAN KILLED AFTER VOTING AGAINST FUNDING ILLEGAL ALIENS – On June 14, 2025, in the early morning hours, 57-year-old Vance Boelter assassinated Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband after attempting to assassinate Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Hoffman’s wife survived, Hortman’s husband did not.

The motivation for the shooting still remains unclear and contested. So far, law enforcement has yet to release the shooter’s notes, even though parts were released that indicate he blames Governor Tim Walz (D) for the shootings. Walz appointed Boelter to a state business council, though Boelter appears to have at one time been registered as a Republican, and there is video of him espousing “evangelical Christian” beliefs. GO DEEPER

ED.NOTE: The shooter would prove to be a political enigma save for his clear dedication to the illegal alien cause, which would prove to be the central motivation for the murders.

  1. JUNE 2025 – ISRAEL-IRAN WAR SORT OF ENDS WITH IRAN MISSING MOST OF ITS LEADERSHIP AND POSSIBLY ITS NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM – This month, Israel and Iran went to war, with the U.S. appearing to have finished it, at least for now. The fallout of the war will be reported on in the next MIA issue (which it was). For now, the Iranian regime is tottering, but not dead, with executions being reported in reaction to growing unrest within. While a ceasefire is in place, it is questionable how long it will last.

While Iran attacked Israel with missiles and drones, targeting major civilian populations, Israel wiped out most of Iran’s military and scientific leadership, along with numerous military targets, which included Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. delivered strikes on three facilities, with most “experts” now conceding Iran’s nuclear program is over, despite denials by Iran’s leadership (and the DNC-controlled media). GO DEEPER

  1. APRIL 2025 – POPE FRANCIS PASSES ONE DAY AFTER EASTER – A day after meeting with Vice President JD Vance and making a public appearance delivering the benediction on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 on Monday, April 21, 2025, 7:35 AM. He had been hospitalized for five weeks with life-threatening pneumonia before being released four weeks ago to recover in his own residence.

He currently lies in state, where he will remain until his funeral this weekend. No clear front-runner has emerged in the bid to replace him, though conservatives and leftists are vying to ensure “their man” takes the helm.

  1. MAY 2025BIDENS CANCER DIAGNOSIS ADDS CREDENCE TO THEORY BIDEN WAS NEVER PRESIDENT, THE COMMITTEE WAS – In light of the recently announced advanced prostate cancer diagnosis of former President Joe Biden, non-DNC media is beginning to ask two questions: 1.) Was Joe Biden EVER the ACTUAL President? 2.) Who were the people (person) making the decisions for the incapacitated Biden? Now, everyone is re-examining the use of the autopen by President Biden. According to President Trump’s AI Czar, David Sacks, “Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration.”

A whistleblower has come forward to U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin claiming there were three people who primarily controlled access to the autopen, and they made a lot of money selling that influence. Martin isn’t taking the claim as plain fact, but the investigation has begun. The implications got deeper when a watchdog group representing energy workers claimed there was “no evidence” President Biden knew about the autopen Presidency.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025TRUMP SIGNS TIKTOK DEAL WORTH $14 BILLION – In what appears to be a victory for the Trump administration, specifically President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, a difficult negotiation process with Chairman Xi came to a close with the help of both men.

A spokesperson for JD Vance claimed, President [Donald] Trump and Vice President [JD] Vance provided the leadership and foresight necessary to produce a framework deal that fulfills another campaign promise and saves TikTok. Hundreds of millions of Americans will now be able to continue safely enjoying the highly popular app thanks to the presidents decisive leadership.”

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order sealing the deal. ByteDance still retains a stake in TikTok, but for less than 20%. Oracle and Silver Lake are the two big American company winners, with an Arab Emirates investment company joining the two with 45% stake in TikTok. The three will also be the managers of the U.S. business (the controllers of the American market algorithm).

It should be noted the deal has yet to be finalized as of December 18, 2025.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – VA AG WANTS TO MURDER GOP CHILDREN, DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM – Virginia’s current Attorney General, Democrat Jay Jones had private text messages exposed that revealed his desire to kill his GOP opponent. He claimed that if he had two bullets, his GOP opponent, and two of the evilest people in human history, he’d use both bullets to kill his opponent. He later expressed desire to kill the opponent’s children.

Since his text messages were revealed, it’s also been exposed he promoted killing cops as a way to change their racist behavior. Yet despite all that, the Democratic Party, including their candidate for Governor, continue to support Jones. No top national Democrat has called on him to quit the race. He remains endorsed by all the major gun control groups and top members of the Virginia General Assembly.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – MAMDANI IN OVAL OFFICE, PUTS POLICE ABOLITIONIST ON TEAM AND CONDEMNS SYNAGOGUE FOR BEING ATTACKED – Islamist Socialist Zohran Mamdani has chosen a police abolitionist author to be on his transition team. Alex Vitale, who wrote the book “The End of Policing.” The “defund the police” activist will be working on “community safety issues.” This follows Mamdani’s meeting with President Trump in the oval office where they exchanged mostly substance-less jabs with one another.

After a Jewish synagogue was harassed by a group shouting “Death to the IDF,” Mamdani blamed the victims for holding an event that offended the anti-Israel activists. His recent reiteration that he would honor “international law” over U.S. law leaves some to question whether he will try to arrest Jews wanted by the antisemitic “World Court.”

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – XI SURVIVES THE PLENUM BUT FORCED TO END TRADE WAR – The Chinese Communist Party’s Fourth Plenum was held from October 20-23. 11 top officials were axed, with nine of them, all Generals, being called out for taking insubordinate action. The nine generals are all close Xi allies, with two being considered both his right- and left-hand man.

Now that Xi has JUST AGREED with Trump to end his rare earth mineral ban, it appears the results of the plenum  are this; Xi is no longer able to pursue his more bellicose policies. The moderates have won, but not conquered. Xi had been escalating the trade war with the U.S. by attempting to use its rare earth monopoly to separate market allies from the U.S., a bold move that made the moderates nervous.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – SCOTUS ENDS DNC HOPES OF GAY MARRIAGE FIGHT IN 2028 – In a move that could help the political group most likely to be against it, SCOTUS has dismissed recent challenges to its ruling that made gay marriage a constitutional right. Had SCOTUS taken the case and struck down the 2015 ruling, it would have made gay marriage a top wedge issue for the DNC, assuring it holds onto its white suburban female vote.

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – MURDERED DIRECTOR ACCUSED OF BRINING DEATH ON HIMSELF BY TRUMP – President Donald Trump reported on the murder of Film Director Rob Reiner on Truth Social, writing, “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

The director and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, 68, were murdered in their Brentwood home, stabbed to death allegedly by their son, Nick Reiner, 32. So far, most of the Trump base seems dissatisfied with the reaction, with only a small few defending the comments. The strongest defense he gets is, “He screwed up here but all in all he’s the best we got.” Nick Reiner has been arrested, charged with double-homicide, and held without bail. An arraignment is not scheduled until January 2026.

  1. JANUARY 2025 – TRUMP ELECTION VICTORY OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED – President Donald Trump saw his 2024 election victory certified by the U.S. Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris having to preside over the whole affair. She said of the process, “It’s a peaceful transition of power. It’s a good day.” The President won the election 312 electoral votes to 226, 77 million votes to 75 million votes.
  2. JULY 2025 – TRUMP CLAIMS EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST IS A DNC MYTH – President Donald Trump is doubling down on his insistence that the Jeffrey Epstein Client list doesn’t exist and that the whole obsession with Epstein is not good. He wrote, “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!)”

“… Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success-starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – AMERICAN ACTIVIST CHARLIE KIRK SLAIN ON COLLEGE CAMPUS BY SNIPER – Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative American activist, was murdered by a sniper’s bullet at a Utah event on the Utah Valley University campus on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. At this time, no motive for the shooting has been announced. The shooter has been arrested. Charlie Kirk was only 31 years old. The shooter has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. He was turned in by his family, with his father detaining him until the police arrived.

President Trump said of the news of the shooter being captured, “I hope he was going to be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did. Charlie Kirk was the finest person that he didn’t deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him.”

  1. MAY 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN WELCOMES FIRST SOUTH AFRICAN REFUGEES The Trump administration welcomed 59 South African Afrikaners, the first arrivals following Trump’s February executive order offering them asylum. Trump told the media,It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about, but it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place, and farmers are being killed. They happen to be white, but whether they’re white or black makes no difference to me.”
  2. MARCH 2025 – PRIDE PARADES LOSE SPONSORS – Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, La Crema, Diageo, and Smirnoff have all pulled hundreds of thousands in planned donations from San Francisco’s 2025 Pride Parade.

The Family Research Council’s David Clossen said, “The reelection of Donald Trump suggests, among other things, that tens of millions of Americans are no longer going to be held hostage to the most ardent activists in the LGBT lobby… The pendulum has certainly shifted.”

  1. MAY 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN REVERSES $37 MILLION FINE AGAINST CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY The Trump Department of Education rescinded a $37 million fine that the Biden regime levied against Grand Canyon University in 2023. Education Department spokeswoman Ellen Keast stated, “Unlike the previous administration, we will not persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation.”

  3. AUGUST 2025 – TRUMP BROKERS ANOTHER PEACE DEAL President Trump met with the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House to sign a “historic” joint peace declaration, along with economic agreements with the United States.

He added, “Think of that. And the checks are already on the way. Nobody understood that one until about 30 minutes ago. We made a lot more money.” He is referring to the tariff program, which is allegedly funding the program. Over 1 million service members will receive these bonuses before Christmas.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – WOKE YOUTH FLAGSHIP MAGAZINE “TEEN VOGUE” EFFECTIVELY DIES – Five years ago, the teen magazine that early on leaned into the toxic woke message had to stop printing. At the time, the woke defenders argued it didn’t go woke and broke, it’s just a victim of digital media overcoming print media. Now, Teen Vogue is effectively being folded into Vogue as a section of the publication it originally came from. Teen Vogue ACTUALLY got woke and went broke.
  2. SEPTEMBER 2025 – CRACKER BARREL SCRAPS INTERIOR REMODELS Cracker Barrel announced that it will stop remodeling existing Cracker Barrel restaurants, following backlash to its woke logo rebrand. The company stated, “Today, we’re suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn’t been remodeled, you don’t need to worry, it won’t be. We heard clearly that the modern remodel design does not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel.
  3. OCTOBER 2025 – DEI INDUSTRY DYING AS TRUMP CLAMPS DOWN ON RACIST POLICIES – September’s job postings reveal a 50% drop in DEI-related job postings compared to pre-pandemic levels. The peak of DEI job postings was in 2022, when 10,000 jobs were posted, compared to the pace of 1,500 for this year so far.

The Trump administration’s policies had a direct impact on DEI incentives, penalizing government-funded companies and banning DEI policies in government institutions. So far, under President Trump, 38% of DEI employees were moved into non-DEI roles, 55% moved to another company in a non-DEI role, leaving only 7% still in DEI positions.

  1. MAY 2025 – HEGSETH ORDERS 20% CUT IN SENIOR MILITARY RANKS Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated,My title is ‘Less Generals, More GIs.’ We’re going to shift resources from bloated headquarters elements to our war fighters… When we were fighting across the globe during World War II, we had a force that was 12-million-strong. For that 12-million-man element, we had 17 four-and-five-star generals. Today, we have 2.1 million service members and 44 four-star and flag officers. So, it used to be a ratio of one general to 6,000 troops. Today, it’s one general to 1,400.”
  2. OCTOBER 2025 – TRUMP LOOKS TO SET DEPORTATION RECORDS FOR ONE YEAR – Without having a full 12 months, and while facing the first part of the first month when illegal aliens were still being allowed to freely walk into the country, Donald Trump is set to break the record for deportations in a single year. So far, they have identified 1.6 million people who have self-deported while the government has deported 400,000 more. The government expects to deport 600,000 by the end of the year.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence. Migrants are now even turning back before they reach our borders. In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE, CBP, and the U.S. Coast Guard have made historic progress to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country.”

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – NO MORE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR HOSPITALS THAT TRANSITION KIDS – President Donald Trump’s executive order cutting funding for hospitals that medically transition children is now baring teeth. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is proposing new rules to align with the xo that will effectively cut off federal funding from hospitals that medically transition kids. There is a 60-day public comment period before the rules can be made official.
  2. SEPTEMBER 2025 – SENATE HONORS CHARLIE KIRK The U.S. Senate unanimously voted to designate October 14, Charlie’s birthday, as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fl) said, Charlie was a magnetic leader, a loving father and husband, and a friend and inspiration to so many. His loss is devastating, and Ill always cherish the friendship I had with him. Charlie loved our nation and its founding principles and believed deeply in his faith, in his family, and in beauty of ideas and discussion.”
  3. OCTOBER 2025 – JAPAN’S FIRST FEMALE PM IS MAGA – After the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party selected their first female leader, Sanae Takaichi, some are calling her the female Trump who promises to prioritize Japanese national interests over global interests. Her party is expected to win the next election. It has ruled since 1955 with no serious opposition. Takaichi promises to be tougher on China and open to militarizing Japan beyond traditional post-WWII Japan’s previous limited standards.

President Trump said of the selection, “Japan has just elected its first female Prime Minister, a highly respected person of great wisdom and strength. This is tremendous news for the incredible people of Japan. Congratulations to all!”

  1. MAY 2025 – CDC NO LONGER RECOMMENDS COVID VACCINE FOR CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced, “Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule. It’s common sense, and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing President Trump’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.”
  2. APRIL 2025 – SUPREME COURT GREENLIGHTS MASS FIRINGS In another win for Trump, the Supreme Court blocked a lower court ruling ordering the Trump administration to rehire over 16,000 bureaucrats. The court said, “The District Court’s injunction was based solely on the allegations of the nine non-profit-organization plaintiffs in this case. But under established law, those allegations are presently insufficient to support the organizations standing.”
  3. OCTOBER 2025 – TRUMP CELEBRATES CHARLIE KIRK’S BIRTHDAY BY GIVING HIM PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM – President Donald Trump held a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk on the slain American activist’s birthday, October 14th. The event was held at the East Room of the White House, with President Trump attending. Also attending were his wife, Erika Kirk. He also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk.
  4. OCTOBER 2025 – GATES FOLDS ON CLIMATE HOAX, TRUMP DANCES ON ITS GRAVE – The wanna-be world czar Bill Gates signaled to the world that the climate change hoax jig was up after admitting “The doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world. The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been.”

This signals a potential shift in globalist strategy from promising to save the world from human greed and the brown people from the white devil, they’re going to go back to the basics, economic class warfare. President Trump wasn’t letting Gates surrender so gently, however.

He quipped back, “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue,” he added. “It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – CLIMATE CHANGE JUSTIFICATION FOR CENTRAL GLOBAL CONTROL OF MARKETS DIES WITH IEA REPORT – The narrative that “man-made climate change is going to destroy us tomorrow if we don’t hand over all market control to a central global government” received another blow after an IEA report shows the greatest growth in energy production (and climate pollution) is in the emerging markets.

Efforts in these markets to convert to alternative energies have led to failure as they still cannot fairly compete against fossil fuels. Countries like India and Indonesia are expecting to see their energy demand grow by over 70%. These countries will have no interest in throttling their growth based on increasingly unfounded science. There is no global power left to create a global climate police Empire.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – MORE MAGA CASUALTIES OF DNC LAWFARE PARDONED BY TRUMP – President Donald Trump continues to strategically pardon political targets of the Democratic party for what seems to be a slow-drip pardoning process. In this round, he pardoned dozens of people prosecuted by the DNC for daring to challenge the illegal mass mailer 2020 election (an illegality the courts have yet to even address, let alone rightly identify, though that might soon change).

Among those pardoned include former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows, as well as lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Trump called the action “No MAGA left behind,” with his pardon attorney, Ed Martin, saying of the pardons, “President Trump is putting an end to the Biden regime’s communist tactics once and for all.”

ED.NOTE: While he did issue a pardon for Tina Peters, the legality of that pardon is in dispute, and she remains in prison while the appeals are made.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – UN’S GLOBAL TAX DIES IN THE FACE OF TRUMP – After President Trump caught on to the UN’s efforts to enact a de facto world tax on shipping, he made it clear that U.S. ships would NOT be complying with this unenforceable order. Rather than risking appearing to be powerless, the UN has announced a plan to delay the final vote on the tax by one year. Trump has made it clear the passage of a year will not alter his administration’s defiance.

In a joint statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said on October 10, “President Trump has made it clear that the United States will not accept any international environmental agreement that unduly or unfairly burdens the United States or harms the interests of the American people. Next week, members of the IMO will vote on the adoption of a so-called NZF aimed at reducing global carbon dioxide gas emissions from the international shipping sector.  This will be the first time that a UN organization levies a global carbon tax on the world.”

  1. MAY 2025 – TRUMP BANS GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH President Trump ordered a permanent end to all funding for gain-of-function research in China and other foreign countries, along with a 120-day pause on similar research in the United States as the HHS develops a new policy. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, “All of the history of gain-of-function research, we can’t point to a single good thing that’s come from it.”Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulschercalled the order “a critical first step toward ending dangerous gain-of-function research once and for all.”
  2. JUNE 2025 – SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS STATE BANS ON TRANSGENDER MUTILATION The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3to uphold a Tennessee law banning transgender mutilation surgeries and drugs on children. The ruling supports 26 other state laws protecting children. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, “In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct.”
  3. APRIL 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN UPDATES COVID.GOV TO REVEAL TRUE ORIGINS OF COVID – The Biden-era covid.gov website now redirects to a site titled “LAB LEAK: The true origins of COVID-19.” The page criticizes the EcoHealth Alliance’s gain-of-function research and faults Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who claimed COVID-19 did not leak from the Wuhan lab. The website stresses, The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties…”
  4. SEPTEMBER 2025 – TRUMP DESIGNATES ANTIFA AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION President Trump announced,I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Millerpromised, “We’re going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks.”
  5. OCTOBER 2025 – CBS PICKS ANTI-WOKE CHAMPION TO HELM REVIVED NEWS DIVISION – The DNC may have lost one of its illegal campaign advertisers in CBS, who selected an anti-woke news activist, Bari Weiss, to be their new editor-in-chief. Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks captured the mood of the left in response when he declared, “CBS News is naming Bari Weiss Editor in Chief, which will make CBS News useless. She is indisputably biased towards Israel. In fact, that’s why she was hired.”

Following her hiring, Paramount Chief Executive David Ellison said, “We want CBS to speak to that 70% of the audience that would really define themselves as center-left to center-right.” The declaration has CBS “insiders” leaking complaints and warnings to both Ellison and Weiss not to touch CBS’ now-discredited sacred cows, 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning.

  1. DECEMBER 2024 – UK BANS PUBERTY BLOCKERS INDEFINITELY The leftist British government is permanently banning puberty blockers, after temporarily halting them last year. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said, “We need to act with caution and care when it comes to this vulnerable group of young people, and follow the expert advice.”

Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and France have taken similar measures to protect minors. Charlie Kirk noted, “Soon, American blue states will be the only places on earth where this barbaric practice is still allowed.”

  1. FEBRUARY 2025 – TRUMP BANS MEN FROM WOMEN’S SPORTS President Trump signed executive order stating, “It is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy…” Following the order, the NCAA officially banned transgendersfrom women’s sports. 79% of Americans believe men should not compete in women’s sports.
  2. OCTOBER 2025 – TRUMP BRINGS GAZA WAR TO AN END – President Donald Trump signed the treaty that officially ended the brutal war in Gaza. He did so in Egypt, where he delivered a speech proclaiming the finalization of the deal and the commitment of all parties involved to follow through with the full Gaza Peace plan. All Hamas prisoners have been released along with all living Israeli hostages. Aid has already started coming in, as have the refugees who are now returning. The next step is the formation of a Peace Council that will govern Gaza during the transition. The Nobel Peace Prize Winner, María Corina Machado, partially dedicated her award to President Trump.

Trump told world leaders, “I want to congratulate everybody sitting in these first few rows and standing behind me. I don’t know why they chose to stand, but I promise I’ll make it short, okay? We are not going to keep you standing for long. These are great leaders. After years of suffering and bloodshed, the war in Gaza is over. Humanitarian aid is now pouring in, including hundreds of truckloads of food, and medical equipment, and other supplies, much of it paid for by people in this room.”

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – CHINA’S PRE-CRIME AI INTEGRATED IN THE LIVES OF 1.4 BILLION CITIZENS – China is using AI to monitor every aspect of life of every citizen in its country by integrating it into every technology used in daily life, A report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute shows how China has been building the very central-controlled AI-mass-machine many in the west hope to bring over here. The cutting-edge nature of their pre-crime surveillance capacity is the envy of the world for oligarchs everywhere, and thus will define the next decade or more.

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – HOUSE OF SAUD GETS NUCLEAR UMBRELLA FROM DEFENSIVE PACT WITH PAKISTAN – Saudi Arabia has announced a new defensive partnership with Pakistan, a nation Saudi Arabia has long had economic and religious ties to. The fact that Pakistan is a nuclear power is what makes this pact so significant. The pact means that Saudi Arabia is now under Islamabad’s nuclear umbrella. The pact is a further check on nuclear-aspirant Iran’s already ebbed power.
  2. NOVEMBER 2025 – UK THINKS WE’RE STILL A COLONY? – Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s communications regulator has recently declared that Americans are not protected from UK prosecution for violating their soviet-styled speech laws when their social media posts reach their citizens. So far, talk of bills being written to deal with this foreign intrusion on American sovereignty is all that’s been seen in response to this assertion by the UK. They do this while they push forward with Online censorship, Digital ID, and now mass arrests of UK protesters.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – THE GLOBALISTS WILL USE TICKS TO MAKE US ALLERGIC TO RED MEAT? – Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is claiming that there is a globalist plot to genetically engineer people so they are allergic to red meats. He cited efforts by the WEF through the years, pointing to their website. The claim isn’t as preposterous as it sounds if you realize there is a video from 2016 outlining this very plan, this one using ticks to spread the allergy.

Dr. Matthew Liao, director of the NYU Center for Bioethics, made the video. Liao said, “Just as some people are naturally intolerant to milk or crayfish, like myself, we could artificially induce mild intolerance to meat by stimulating our immune system against common bovine proteins.”

  1. SEPTEMBER 2025 – “AMERICAN” POLICE FORCE HAS ARABIC PATCHES – A police force in America has chosen to allow its officers to use a foreign language on their police patches. In this case, the language is Arabic. Dearborn Heights moved closer to becoming a de facto foreign country when the police force “chose” to allow “American” citizens the “option” of having Arabic police patches to “better serve” a community that clearly has no intention of integrating with the American republic.
  2. MAY 2025 – FLORIDA MAKES GOLD AND SILVER LEGAL TENDER After signing the bill, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said, “This legislation will authorize money services businesses like check cashers or PayPal to transmit and accept payment in gold and silver. That means these precious metals can start functioning like real currency again, not just investment vehicles for the wealthy.”
  3. APRIL 2025 – DID CCP HELP WU BECOME BOSTON MAYOR? – Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) is alleged to have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from a CCP agent named Gary Yu. This allegation is coming from Daily Caller, who claims Wu’s Chinese name, Yu Guoliang, reveals he is “listed as an official by an agency of a (CCP) influence and intelligence service called United Front Work Department…”

Daily Caller quotes China expert Gordon Chang in response to this report, “Wu’s ultra-leftism makes her the perfect candidate for CCP recruitment and capture. Or do we have it backward? Is her ultra-leftism the result of CCP recruitment and capture? More than just the people of Boston would like to know.”

  1. APRIL 2025 – SUICIDE IS BEING PUSHED ON AILING CANADIANS? – Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals of Canada’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).
  2. JUNE -2025 – MORE NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED BY MUSLIM NIGERIANS – While the world remains silent, the rise of Islamism in Nigeria is causing death for Nigerian Christians, who see their government fail to protect them while it also prevents them from protecting themselves. The latest slaughter happened in the Yehewata village in the Benue State. Over 100 men, women, and children were slaughtered by raiding Islamists. GO DEEPER
  3. JUNE 2025 – CHINA HAS A MAN IN SEOUL – South Korea has replaced a President who tried to use emergency powers to stop a communist takeover of the country from within with a President who appears to be more aligned with the Chinese Communist Party than a “democratic” South Korea. Lee Jae-myun has beaten his opponent by more than 10 points.

The far-left candidate called for closer ties to both China and North Korea. In his victory speech, the CCP plant said, “I will fulfill my mission of creating a world where democracy is restored and the people are respected as sovereign in a democratic republic while living together in cooperation with each other.” Fittingly, the winning party’s name is the Democratic Party, which appears to have a lot in common with America’s DNC-CCP party.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – HARVARD’S OWN REPORT DISCREDITS ITS DEGREES – A Harvard degree these days is considered, in growing circles, a liability, not an asset, given the university’s hard left lurch towards insurrection against the republic. But now, a new report has exposed Harvard’s grading system. Even the students themselves acknowledge what the data now shows, Harvard’s grades are fake. College professors pass students more to fulfill DEI dreams than to train true experts for a shared, American society. Harvard’s own report condemns them.

In the report, faculty members themselves said there’s been “a radical shift from providing critical feedback to providing emotional support.” More than 60% of the grades awarded are As, for instance, and hardly anyone ever fails. In grading, some faculty allege “[T]he College has been exhorting faculty to remember that some students arrive less prepared for college …”

  1. DECEMBER 2025 – EVIDENCE OF DEBANKING OF CONSERVATIVES SURFACES, WITH AGENCY PLEDGING TO END IT – The practice of debanking, of cancelling the bank accounts by undesirables for political and/or religious reasons has been called a myth by the left and denied by the banks accused of doing it. The targets are almost always conservative and/or Christian, with a healthy dose of gun supporters thrown in there for good measure.

Now, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has confirmed debanking of non-leftists occurred in 9 banks, which are U.S. Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank. The Comptroller, Jonathan V. Gould, said, “The OCC is committed to ending efforts – whether instigated by regulators or banks – that would weaponize finance. Although our work continues, the OCC is today providing visibility into the debanking actions against customers and lawful businesses taken by the nation’s largest banks to ensure public awareness, and to halt these harmful and unfair practices.” These are preliminary investigations. The OCC has pledged to continue the investigations and “discourage” any banks from continuing the practice or considering it in the future.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN SIGNALS COMMITMENT TO SET PRICE CONTROLS ON RARE EARTH METALS – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is signaling the administration’s intentions to set price floors, a form of price control, on rare earth metals. The move is intended to counter China’s dominance in the market, but it has Americans concerned it is setting a precedent for market controls that aren’t aligned with American values.

The justification for this anti-American action comes from China’s bad faith actions, Bessent suggests. He stated, “When you are facing a non-market economy like China, then you have to exercise industrial policy. So we’re going to set price floors and the forward buying to make sure that this doesn’t happen again, and we’re going to do it across a range of industries.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – FCC CONSIDERS THIRD RAIL MOVE THAT COULD REVOLUTIONIZE “NETWORK TELEVISION”– The FCC is considering abolishing what has been called the third rail in broadcasting politics, the national ownership cap. This cap is set at 39%, which means station owners cannot own more than 39% of the affiliates of a national broadcaster’s network.

The move is being considered to allow, theoretically, conservative affiliate owners a chance to push back against anti-American broadcasting, with the Jimmy Kimmel kerfuffle being the foil for the theoretical action.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – CHINA’S AIRCRAFT CARRIER SCORES HISTORIC FIRST – China is allegedly the first country in the world to launch a jet off an aircraft carrier using an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS). The country released a video of a J-34 stealth fighter being launched by an EMALS catapult off an aircraft carrier at sea. The name of the aircraft carrier was not mentioned in any reports, which all seem to come from the Chinese state media video itself.

Regardless of the full efficacy of the claim, China’s rapid development of aircraft carriers poses a security risk for the United States, though the era of the aircraft carrier itself is in question by some.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – PREDICTIVE INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM DEPLOYED BY BORDER CONTROL? – The Associated Press is reporting the U.S. Border Patrol is using a traffic monitoring program that used “Predictive Intelligence” to identify and detain individuals driving in “suspicious patterns.” AP claims the program is monitoring millions of Americans. It started as a border monitoring program but has since been scaled out nationwide.

  2. AUGUST 2025 – MYANMAR JUNTA ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR A LATE DECEMBER ELECTION – The Myanmar Junta’s election commission has just announced plans to hold a “multiparty democratic general election” on Sunday, December 28, 2025. The commission was formed the previous month. It is seen as a sign that the junta is recognizing its inability to hold a land it took through force, denying the results of a fair and free election, though skepticism abounds as to whether the election will actually happen.

  3. NOVEMBER 2025 – EU BANS LARGE CASH PAYMENTS – The European Union (EU) will ban all cash purchases over $11,500 beginning in January 2027. This draconian change was not made through legislation that was debated and voted on; it was created through regulation. Unelected EU bureaucrats simply chose to make the change, claiming it is purely to target criminals.

In addition to that, new laws already passed will soon require anyone using or holding cryptocurrency to do so through a digital ID system, assuring no anonymity in the transaction of value between humans. By 2029, the EU plans on rolling out their digital currency, which they intend on being the replacement for physical currency. Digital currency turbo-charge governments’ ability to control transactions, create instant “magic value,” and micromanage the currency markets.

  1. MARCH 2025 – CHINA TAKING OVER AFRICAN PORTS AND TEXAS COURTS – The CCP has successfully managed to build an African port empire, being active stakeholders of 78 ports across 32 countries, mostly in the East. This represents a Chinese presence in nearly one-quarter of all commercial African ports. It also has ports in the Texas Senate Affairs Committee, where 30 CCP Activists appealed to American legal standards to justify striking down a law that would prevent the CCP from owning land in Texas.

  2. NOVEMBER 2025 – MORE COLLEGE STUDENTS THAN EVER HAVE ELEMENTARY MATH UNDERSTANDING – A report from the University of California, San Diego has set off alarms about how well-prepared high school graduates are for college. According to the report, from the start of the pandemic in 2020 to the current year, the number of high school students with math knowledge below the 8th grade has exploded. In 2020 it was 1%, while today it has exploded to 12%.

This is not the first university to report these numbers. George Mason and Temple have reported similar trends. The problem is not many are interested in measuring such numbers, and DNC corporate media is not interested in covering it. So far, only Fox News has covered what could be a critical fail issue in our public schools.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – U.S. HOUSE CRAWLS BACK ARCTIC FROST VICTIMS’ LAWSUIT ALLOWANCE – The U.S. House has passed a bill to repeal a provision included in the continuing resolution that ended the historic government shutdown. The bill is NOT addressing the provision that makes most of the hemp industry illegal (We wrote more on this in a report in the November 2025 End-Month Issue of MIA). The bill removes the permission for Federal employees who were victims of Operation Arctic Frost to sue the Federal government.

The operation, run by DNC attorney Jack Smith, spied on mostly Republicans’ phone records, including its top leadership, which includes Marco Rubio. The bill required a two-thirds yes vote to pass, which it did. Seven members, three Republicans and four Democrats, chose not to vote at all. It must now pass the Senate, which is not a guarantee as of right now.

  1. OCTOBER 2025 – AI AND TECH EXPERTS CALL FOR A PAUSE ON “SUPERINTELLIGENCE” – 800-plus leading figures in AI and tech banded together to call for a pause on the development of what is called “superintelligence.” Theoretically (and probably true), it is an AI model that WILL be able to out-think humans not just scientifically, but psychologically. Part of the coalition includes Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak and former U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

The key statement was signed off on by over 16,220 AI and tech professionals. The core statement is, “We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in.”

  1. JULY 2025 – D.C JUDICIAL CONFERENCE TURNS INTO ANTI-TRUMP CABAL – In another blow to the perception of Rule of Law, The Federalist has discovered a memo that reveals the D.C. Judicial Conference in March turned into a cabal to undermine President Trump, introducing inherent biases into their judgements before a case ever came before them. At the center of the cabal is Chief Justice John Roberts and insurrectionist D.C. Circuit Judge James Boasberg, who said the quiet parts out loud.

From the memorandum obtained by The Federalist, “District of the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg next raised his colleagues’ concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis.” Given Boesberg’s recent disregard for the Law in his attempt to sabotage a sitting President, this writer hopes the Trump administration is thoroughly investigating the judges who took part in this de facto cabal to overthrow the will of the people through illegal rulings.

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – SOUTH KOREAN DEMOCRATS WANT TO CRIMINALIZE ANTI-CCP DISSENT – As protests continue against the new government in South Korea over its seeming embrace of China and North Korea, the Democrats prepare to crack down on the dissenters. The Democratic Party of Korea is introducing multiple bills in the legislature it controls that would criminalize anti-China protests.

Democratic Party Representative Yang Bu-nam introduced an amendment to the criminal act that would prohibit anti-China protests. He justified the actions, claiming, “On March 3 of last month, participants at an anti-China rally sang a song containing lyrics like ‘Changgae, Bukgye, and red communists should leave quickly’ and used profanity, spreading false claims about Chinese interference in elections.”

  1. APRIL 2025 – ALLEGED DEEP STATER FEARED TO HAVE DELETED KEY CDC COVID-19 DATA – Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, the former director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office under Joe Biden, appears to have allegedly deleted government data. The data feared lost is Covid-19 vaccine results data that will show the true depth, breadth, and severity of side effects from the mandated Covid-19 vaccines.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting HHS watchdog Juliet Hodgkins, to ensure criminal investigative action was taken on this matter. He wrote, “HHS officials recently informed me that Dr. Shimabukuro’s records remain lost and, potentially, removed from HHS’s email system altogether. Dr. Shimabukuro’s potential mishandling of his official records is highly concerning… Any attempt to obstruct or interfere with my investigatory efforts would be grounds for contempt of Congress.”

  1. NOVEMBER 2025 – AMERICA SEES HISTORIC DROP IN RELIGIOUS IMPORTANCE – A poll by Gallup shows in just 10 years the percentage of Americans who say religion is an important part of their daily life went from 66% in 2015 to 49% in 2025.

NOVEMBER 2025 – TRUMP ADMIN MOVING ONTO MILITARY BASES IN WAKE OF RISING PROGMERICAN THREATS – U.S. officials are increasingly moving themselves and their families onto military bases in response to rising threats from within that are connected to the usual Progmerican, DNC blue shirts threats. In addition to the DNC threats, the officials are also facing an “ongoing foreign threat.”

In response to this ratcheting up of threats, the Trump administration is building “a quick reactionary force” in every state through the National Guard to deal with the rising DNC blue-shirts threats. Some of the officials include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“The last four decades have been a race against time by the oligarchs to allow technology to advance without allowing it to make their large-scale monopolies of power redundant and feckless in the face of hundreds of self-sustaining small-scale free associations. That war is about to be decided within the next few years. The decades that follow will be defined by the winner in the war today between small-scale sovereignty and large-scale absolute control.”Paul Gordon Collier

INTRODUCTION

This is not a full analysis of world events, but rather an analysis of bellwether events, regions, trends, and countries that tell the overarching story of the world in 2025, which is the struggle to define the new order as the old order comes crashing down around them.

Our predictive analysis is from an Americanist perspective, nested within our Christian belief system.

The old narratives that compelled people to surrender sovereignty for security (in fear of the white devil) and to assuage guilt (the guilt of BEING the white devil) are broken. The fruit of the labor of the old order is now clear to see, with human populations seemingly poised for collapse.

The rise of AI as a world-power-creating tool means the oligarchs must create new narratives to keep the majority of people in compliance with their new plans. They are all in a race against one another to convert land to data centers, fossil fuels to power for data centers, to dominate rare earth mineral territories and rare earth processing centers, and finally to secure advanced chip manufacturing institutions.

Global Climate Change is dead, but the moral imperative to support AI infrastructure building is coming, and any governance standard that gets in the way of that imperative must be quickly invalidated.

In many ways, what follows is the history of the last of the old order battles before the new order battles start to take place. Currently, the justification for truth is based on the social identity of the truth claimant, but that standard might impede the development of AI, which must happen as quickly as possible (before the competition destroys us while we’re still building). A form of guarded meritocracy must return as soon as possible, for instance.

Next year, we are working towards gaining a new understanding of the paradigms of the new AI-driven battles to come so we can help you, the subscriber, prepare yourself for the new sophistry that will soon be coming your way. As we make discoveries, we will pass them on and calibrate our coverage of the news accordingly.

This report was completed on December 18, 2025.

A. WORLD

The resignation of Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum signals a shift in strategy for the globalist left order. They seek to regroup in the face of their most common narratives (like “diversity is our strength”) being destroyed every day by the experience of people on the streets that their policies perceptively made unsafe and unwelcoming to their own indigenous populations.

  1. CONFLICTS

Conflicts seem to only be increasing around the world as the old order continues to erode and new orders compete to replace it. The two bellwether conflicts are the Gaza War and the Ukraine War. Dishonorable mention could go to Pakistan’s border skirmishes with Afghanistan and India, with Pakistan launching military assaults on the other two countries, including aerial strikes.

Despite President Trump’s initial ceasefire plan, Thailand and Cambodia continue to inch towards all-out war with one another.

GAZA WAR/MIDDLE EAST – The war in Gaza has left Israel in a strong geopolitical position while it has existentially damaged Israel’s standing in America. Iran is now struggling to exist, Syria has a new regime (one not unfriendly to the U.S.), Russia is effectively out of the Middle East, and Hezbollah is but a shadow of its former self. Hamas itself is a shadow of its former self, and doubts are forming it can hold power amongst the Palestinians, many of whom are growing disenfranchised with Hamas’ method of sacrificing Palestinians for Allah’s righteous jihad against the Jews.

UKRAINE WAR – The war in Ukraine has seen some advances on the part of the Russians. The evidence of corruption in the Zelensky government is mounting, with the pressure for him to resign only growing. Even in the midst of a war, Ukrainians still found time to protest Zelensky’s corruption. As of right now, a ceasefire deal is on the table that includes Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, Ukraine not pursing entrance into NATO, and security guarantees for both Ukraine and Russia.

  1. U.S. BORDER COUNTRIES

Canada is on the verge of potential economic collapse thanks largely to its own climate hoax laws and the U.S. tariffs. Major companies like Nordstram’s are pulling out of Canada altogether. Even the national iconic chain Canadian Tire is being reduced mostly to a department in the retail chain SportCheck.

While it descends into economic hell, it is also descending into moral hell, as more and more Canadians are being euthanized, including prisoners, including the mentally ill, the disabled, possibly children soon, and those who can’t get treatment for curable diseases. Canadians had a chance to halt the descent, but they chose to return the party of Moloch, the Liberals, to power in this year’s election.

The biggest anti-Liberal movement in Canada might soon be from the Western Provinces, who seem to want to become Americans rather than face the draconian legal restrictions of Canada today. See more on Canada in our Bellwether report on pg. 2.

Mexico’s lawlessness is only continuing while their current President, far left extremist Claudia Scheinbaum, has put more effort into attempting to use U.S. courts to strip Americans of their right to bear arms than she has in stopping the cartels, who just recently murdered another mayor of another major city. Mexico is presenting itself as increasingly hostile to American values and American interests, just like Canada has.

What remains to be seen is how fast China swoops in to gain footholds in these anti-American border countries, and whether this administration and future administrations will allow it.

  1. EUROPE

In every country that has allowed unregulated migration from anti-Western countries to their own, immigration is the central political driver in almost every election, almost every protest, and almost every violent act. While almost every western European country’s governments are leaning further and further away from their nation-state identities, the masses seem to be turning more and more towards them.

The answer from the oligarchs is to double down on leftist language games despite clear evidence the masses have broken the spell of these games. Charges of racism, homophobia, etc., are viewed as direct threats, not accusations that need defended against.

War rattles are heavy and near-constant from Europe’s leaders, with Russia being the devil they hope will unite Europe against both Russia and the nation-staters (the so-called “right”). Should some follow through with their threats to call a draft forcing young men to fight in defense of a state that has been targeting these same young men for disempowerment at the very least, the reality of power might finally come home for them, that their whole project has been wholly and completely rejected.

The globalist left project is dead, and it needs to be replaced quickly before local sovereignty returns.

This news brief from just last month is a perfect bellwether for the spirit of the oligarchs in the face of growing resistance to their unwieldy project: The European Union (EU) will ban all cash purchases over $10,000 beginning in January 2027. This draconian change was not made through legislation that was debated and voted on; it was created through regulation. Unelected EU bureaucrats simply chose to make the change, claiming it is purely to target criminals.

In addition to that, new laws already passed will soon require anyone using or holding cryptocurrency to do so through a digital ID system, assuring no anonymity in the transaction of value between humans. By 2029, the EU plans on rolling out their digital currency, which they intend on replacing physical currency. Digital currency turbo-charges governments’ ability to control transactions, create instant “magic value,” and micromanage the currency markets.

  1. GEN Z REVOLUTION

Our Military Affairs correspondent Michael Cessna covered the Gen Z Revolutions in October of 2025:

The most recent wave of protests has been characterized by Gen-Z activists who have never known a world without social media. In Nepal in 2025, young protesters used the hashtag #nepokids to mobilize against nepotism and corruption, ultimately storming government buildings after the government attempted to ban social media platforms.

As of October 14th, following protests organized online by Malagasy Gen-Z youths, Madagascar’s hapless President, Andry Rajoelina, has fled the country, as the country’s elite CAPSAT military unit stepped in and removed him from power

Meanwhile, in Morocco, the “Gen Z 212” movement (named after the nation’s calling code) arose early in October to protest staggering levels of corruption and wealth inequality…

Similarly, protests in Bangladesh, Indonesia, and across Southeast Asia have followed a consistent pattern: government overreach triggers digital mobilization, which spills into the streets, often with protesters livestreaming confrontations that further fuel outrage. When security forces respond with violence, those images circulate instantly, sometimes drawing international attention and pressure (read our Final Thought about Clickocracy on pg. xx).

  1. CHINA

Chairman Xi may have survived the fourth plenum, but his country might not survive the continued economic collapse which is triggered by tariffs in part and by collapsing pyramid schemes in the form of real estate on the other. The country is racing to catch up militarily with the U.S. in a clear bid to either replace the U.S. as the world power or reduce the U.S. to a regional power.

Even as it builds its own colonial empire, the tolerance for colonization is rapidly decreasing, and many of its worldwide projects are collapsing as a result of how poorly China has managed its relations with the locals (beyond the leaders whose coffers get greased in exchange for surrendering sovereignty to China).

Yet its influence in the U.S. has hardly been significantly diminished, even under Trump, who himself seems to not recognize the existential threat to the U.S. that China’s current policies are.

China is banking on international resources to shore up its instability at home, but knows it is running out time being able to sustain the de facto colonial empire it currently possesses (and is still trying to expand). It must hope for more willing self-sabotage from the American oligarchs if it hopes to overcome American world power, let alone preserve its own power at home.

6. AFRICA

Russia, China, and the U.S. are the primary candidates to “control” the Rare-Earth rich continent of Africa, but they face a growing sense of self-sovereignty from the Africans themselves. The presence of Islamism in Africa allows for a measure of internecine divides in Africa that only aids the world powers outside of Africa. The wealth of Africa will continue to mostly flow to the local leaders and the colonizing powers.

The need for rare earth minerals in the race for AI dominance means Africans might soon be facing another wave of colonialization, though it will be “soft” in comparison to the 19th century’s version (and even China’s current version). Technology, however, might soon further tilt the balance of power even more towards defense over offense than it already is, meaning the Africa of the 21st Century might have the strength to resist “unfair business practices” and turn their resources into sustainable flourishing for THEIR people on THEIR lands.

7, SOUTH KOREA

The emergence of a CCP-serving political party in South Korea has many concerned an internal coup of South Korea by the CCP has already taken place. Protests are only increasing against the anti-American, pro-CCP government who won under questionable circumstances. An effort by their former PM to stop the de facto coup was not supported by the South Korean people, so his efforts have ended in house arrest.

South Korea is, as of right now, a lost ally, though the ability of the CCP-controlled party to hold power might not be high. The longer the ruling party can string out its slow drip erosion of western liberties, the less likely a revolt will happen. For now, the risk of upheaval is high for the CCP favorite. The chances it will be patient while its sponsor, the CCP, is itself in crisis mode, are not very high.

8. JAPAN

While South Korea is turning away from the West, Japan is leaning more into it, electing its first female PM who has come out strong against China and has committed to developing a powerful offensive military that can fully handle the Chinese threat with or without U.S. aid. This is a radical break from the previously passivist country.

9. VENEZUELA and ARGENTINA

These two countries serve as two extremes of two poles, one leans towards a Chinese orbit in Venezuela and one leans towards a U.S. orbit in Argentina. The Chinese proxy is in near economic collapse and is now being blockaded by the world’s most powerful navy, the American navy. It stands accused of being a narco-terror state sending in lethal drugs to the U.S. in hopes of destabilizing her.

Argentina further bolstered Javier Milei’s power in this year’s national elections in large part thanks to the economic turn-around Milei has brought through his anti-leftist, anti-Chinese policies. The futures of these two countries could portend the futures of the influence on South America for China and the United States.

B. AMERICA

For a full analysis of the U.S., read our Bellwether report on pg. 2.

While President Donald Trump’s certified election win enabled him to undo much of the anti-American left’s shadow power in the state (though much still remains in place), the parts of America still held by this seditious party have faced even more unconstitutional draconian laws, while euthanasia laws spread and abortion up to birth laws also spread.

The country as a whole may be wary of “wokeism,” but it hasn’t fundamentally turned away from the sins that led it down this path in the first place.

As for the President, his own policies are a mixed bag, with evidence emerging he’s not the MAGA he says he is. For instance, he has leaned into the digital dollar, continued to develop the Palantir citizen database, and embraced Chinese national college students coming to American schools in the hundreds of thousands. This has led many to conclude the war against the anti-American left will not be finished by Trump, it will take Americans to finish the job (and he isn’t one of them, even if he’s a close relative).

His recent social media post seemingly blaming Rob Reiner’s TDS for leading to his murder at the hands of his own son has only added fuel to the Trump Not MAGA crowd.

Rumors of the DNC demise were shattered by the 2025 elections, that saw the Democrats win every major election in two blue-leaning states, Virginia and New Jersey, with one DNC candidate winning despite threatening to murder his political opponent’s family (though maybe he won BECAUSE of it). A late win by the Republicans in Red state Indiana has encouraged the GOP, but the gerrymandering wars appear, so far, to be going in the favor of the DNC despite early wins in Florida and Texas.

  1. CULTURE

Worldwide, legalized abortion and euthanasia continue to advance even as birthrate numbers continue to decline to well-below replacement levels. Christianity is being brutalized in one way, shape, or form, in almost every quarter of the world, including America.

The spell of woke language games has broken, however, and more and more people are turning back to Christ, having been left bankrupt from the woke world order. Many more, unfortunately, are turning to alternatives that themselves continue to fail to recognize the underlying illness in the land, CHILD SACRIFICE.

The world street is leaning away from the old global left order’s moral code while the leadership is leaning harder and harder into it. The divide between the street and the penthouse is only growing, but the root of that divide, the toxicity of the land caused by the sacrificing of children for sexual pleasure, has nothing but enthusiastic bloodthirsty support from the woke and tepid resistance from everyone else (who mostly consider it extreme to be against abortion before, say, 10 weeks).

So far, whatever might replace woke culture is only slightly friendlier to the unborn, and children in general, than wokeness is itself.

Within the context of an AI-defined culture to come, abortion is an ideal practice for a rising AI power as it continues to reduce humans to material resources and/or waste, which allows humans to support AI assaults on humans that aren’t in their protected classes. Abortion gives rise to AI tyranny.

2. MARKET

The worldwide market is responding to the rise of AI as a human replacement along with the increasingly weaponized political reality they face on a daily basis. With the advent of full-on tariff wars triggered by President Trump (in response to allegedly unfair tariff policies directed at the U.S. by other countries), which have now been joined by other nations, markets must now navigate what might become an increasingly volatile environment as more and more countries use tariffs as geopolitical weapons.

No government policy short of job freezes can stop the job losses that have already hit and are only going to continue as a result of AI replacement alone (though, potentially, the support jobs we can’t even fully predict will shortly come, replacing many of these initially lost jobs).

From within, business is experiencing much gutting of its Diversity, Equity, Inclusion programs in part due to President Trump’s executive orders but also in part because the fruit of the project was disastrous, leading to inept policy decisions, poor products, and even worse public service nightmares.

Now, the market must prepare to use AI tools, invest in AI development, and serve what will be the fastest growing market in the world, the AI service industry market. This market will emerge from the needs of the AI industry. This will be the support industry for the AI industry.

The need for merit-based expertise to develop AI products and services will lead industries further away from wokeness, but not necessarily towards Americanism. Rather, the oligarchs will seek a new quasi-religion to help them usher in the age of AI.

Their failure to secure the market, especially the market’s cultural production, could be catastrophic if it comes at such a time as now when it needs to quickly pivot to a new angels and demons narrative without enraging the supporters of their last angels and demons narrative, wokeness (with the white race serving as both the white devil and the white savior).

As more states seek to make gold legal tender, suspicion mounts that those in power know something about the dollar we don’t, which is mainly it’s about to lose its world currency status. This will severely limit America’s current ability to print new currency, which means this; just as some high interest payments come due on our ballooning debt, the state will be constricted in its real yearly revenue spending. Hard decisions will need to be made.

3. SCI-TECH

The leading edge of sci-tech is AI, drone tech, and 3D-Printing (in various forms, including bio-printing). The engine of all tech is now AI (or one of its variations), and AI needs resources. These resources include land, rare earth minerals, and intelligent people who can freely explore potentials. These needs will drive the sci-tech industry as a whole, and that includes social media.

Anti-AI governance social media alternatives may soon emerge in response to what is most likely going to be an overreliance on AI as a governor. This year, social media platforms will either learn the limits of AI or succeed in consolidating enough power to gaslight us into thinking the experience hasn’t been terrible.

We suspect the oligarchs are hoping AI can help destroy the millions of “news reporters” on social media by simply making it unprofitable for them (through filtering them out of search results, for instance).

We suspect a year of increasingly excellent AI slop will lead to a vanguard of “humancraft” movements that will provide economic opportunities for humans willing to create content such as this without any significant AI aid (for this report, the aid is limited to searches, since they work better than google now does).

The real ongoing story in sci-tech is the war between the oligarchs and the technological reality of power that individuals and small-scale associations can increasingly provide their own excellent level of products and services to meet most of their wants and needs.

This means the advantage of large-scale efficiency in exchange for less sovereign diversity is no longer in play since the small-scale can now compete with the large scale in product and service excellence.

The last four decades have been a race against time by the oligarchs to allow technology to advance without allowing it to make their large-scale monopolies of power redundant and feckless in the face of hundreds of self-sustaining small-scale free associations. That war is about to be decided within the next few years. The decades that follow will be defined by the winner in the war today between small-scale sovereignty and large-scale absolute control.

SYNTHESIS SUMMARY

For the world, the death of the American Pax is official, as Trump has made all previous contracts null and void. This is how the year began. Now, as the year closes, the world is coming to grips with that new reality, seeking new opportunities and identifying new threats. The old discourse is about to fall away, and new discourses are about to emerge. The left was almost right when it saw “the end of history” coming.

In one sense, Hegel’s idea of a history progressing towards a completed whole might be unfolding before our very eyes, but not in the way Hegel imagined it. We are not seeing the end of history, but rather, we are seeing the end of the enlightenment itself, a movement he was instrumental in fueling.

The “whole” that we are getting to is the demystification of the justification for state authority over our lives, which came about through our increasingly shared experiences in real time across digital spans that touched real physical places across the world. We felt the reality while our leaders, our media, our corporate executives, all denied it and punished us for living it, for speaking it.

The justification for the state’s authority, that it is a “necessary evil” to protect us from greater evils is dead after Covid. It will only be invigorated if the means of cultural production continue to be controlled by the elite few.

Covid-19 could be seen as the bellwether of this reality, where everyone around the world was going through the same exact emergency and everyone who was paying attention could see just how blatant the lies were from our own governments in the face of that emergency, and how much every institution, the press, the schools, the sciences, etc., confirmed that unreality.

These lies led to deaths, millions of deaths, deaths that touched almost everyone on the face of the planet. The end of history, in a sense, was Covid-19. This year, we see the inchoate stage between the death of one history, the men of letters overcoming suffering and death (the promise of the enlightenment), and the birth of another, one which has yet to be decided, let alone told.

President Trump’s Presidency represents that final break with the old order, but not without baggage from that same old order.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

President Trump’s presidency represents a type of transition in which whatever comes next will retain much of what came before it, in part symbolically alone, and in part in very meaningful, powerful ways.

So far, one part of the old civilization  which most competing civilizations are retaining is the support for the murdering of the unborn.

President Trump appears to want to take much of the deep state with him, just under his command, and the command of his MAGA predecessors.

The “right” appears to want to use woke tactics against anyone who even suggests Israel is bad, or Israel is good, while the left fully embraces the illogical conclusion of the enlightenment, post-structural gobbledygook, that has already killed millions.

Worldwide, each country has its own unique opportunities to throw off the shackles of the old order without giving way to something far worse.

Here in America our vehicle of power to combat the old order without letting in something worse is Americanism itself, but one not justified by anything other than a pragmatic agreement between peaceful communities to not use violence as a means to advance the beliefs of your free association community.

In order for this “justification” to work, citizenship has to be consensual, not compulsory.

We believe more and more people will come to see this as a natural potential solution to “restore” the American republic without restoring the naturalist justifications for her existence (in other words, without restoring liberalism, which allegedly got us into this mess in the first place).

We believe a plurality of “citizens” today are Americans. Many of them know it and understand this America is no longer following that American spirit. Many, many more don’t know it yet and don’t fully understand America is no longer America, or why that is.

But the check is in the mail, and many more people this year will discover their Americanism and the difference between them and the competing nation within, Progmerica, the daughter of the DNC and the GOP, with great assistance from foreign powers, including China, Russia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

The question is, will it be in time to stop what’s coming in the 2026 election, which would be the return to power of the DNC in the House? If it isn’t, what follows in 2027 will accelerate the creation of Americans as the DNC continues to overplay its hand whenever it has opportunity to do so.

If not, the 2026 election could be the beginning of the real end of the DNC and the RNC’s hold on America and the rise of new ACTUAL American parties, but that’s a lot to ask for in a year.

A. THE DNC IS NOT DEAD YET

  1. THE NEED FOR SELF-CONTROL – In our previous issue, we covered the victory of the Democrat Party in the 2025 election. Here, Paul Gordon Collier gives us what might be the essential takeaway of that result from a self-stewarded perspective:

Esther faced death to enter the King’s court unsolicited, but fortunately for her the King, Ahasuerus, welcomed her, leading to her turning the tables on the man who plotted to kill her people, Haman (who hung on a gallows he had built for her Uncle).

So here we are, ready to be good stewards of whatever nation God calls us into, through exile or liberation, whichever it might be. Do all we can, without violence, to stop the progressive nation from conquering us from within but accept their role as an instrument of God’s judgment, should they be victorious.

And yes, risk death, but don’t take it, like Esther did, until they had civic authority to do so (which she did through the King’s edicts he declared for her).

Scripture tells us in multiple places how essential self-control is to any person:

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.” – Proverbs 16:32

“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” – Proverbs 25:28

  1. HOW TO GAIN SELF-CONTROL – Here are resources to get you started on the path of gaining self-control over your unrighteous anger, should this be an issue for you. In these times, it is tempting for us all to fall down the path of un-redemptive, hopeless anger.

B. READING PLENUM TEA LEAVES

  1. CHINA’S BUSINESS MODEL – China shows us that dependence on large-scale nation-states for sustainably flourishing products and services could be a futile effort. But today, we have resources that empower individuals and small-scall associations to increasingly provide higher quality, sustainably flourishing products and services. Here, Michael Cessna shows how government policy is all-but crippling the world’s manufacturer, China:

Xi’s commitment to 4% annual growth through 2035 faces structural headwinds that no amount of political will can overcome. China’s working-age population is shrinking by roughly 5 million people per year. Local government debt exceeds 60 trillion yuan (approximately US$8.4 trillion).

The property sector – which drove Mainland Chinese growth for two decades – has collapsed. And Xi’s emphasis on “self-reliance” means cutting China off from the very technological exchange that fueled its previous rise…that also undermines his vaunted “Belt and Road Initiative”.

When authoritarian regimes face this combination of slowing growth and disappointed expectations, they historically reach for the nationalist playbook. A Taiwan adventure offers Xi a way to rally domestic support, distract from economic failure, and fulfill his “great rejuvenation” promises (rather like Leopoldo Galtieri in 1982) – all while the window of American distraction or weakness might be open.

  1. SELF-STEWARDED BUSINESS MODEL – Prepare our lives, especially our immediate communities, for the potential necessity of being, at the very least, self-sustaining, for uncertain times where resource re-supply might be disrupted now and again.

Here are some resources to help you learn the principles of business, of manufacturing business, and 3D printing. The development of 3d manufacturing has the potential to be the chief source for local manufacturing sustainable flourishing in the very near future.

C. DETAINING THE DONKEY – CONCLUSION

In the conclusion of our Detaining the Donkey series, Paul Gordon Collier claims there are two nations in this land, Progmerica and America, and they are entangled with one another so that a clean divorce is likely not possible. Collier proposes a long-term strategy to defeat the DNC through education and news dissemination:

We are moving past the point of making the case to detain the donkey. At this point, if I’ve done my job, you’re with me, you realize the donkey must be detained. But how does one detain an enemy that is so integral, so enmeshed with our own? And furthermore, does the Trump administration recognize the DNC as being an insurrectionist party representing America’s enemy, Progmerica?

… My ability to destroy the DNC’s information terrorist machine, their corporate media producers, is not within my capacity, so I must strengthen alternative media to the point where they too have a corporate media presence that captures at least half the country.

Based on the facts on the ground, I would seek to encourage Americanists of means to buy interest in these corporate outlets. Where sales are being made, I would do whatever I can as President to encourage Americanists to buy those properties. If we can’t prosecute them, maybe we can buy them out.

The long-term stronghold of the DNC is education. Here, with more information, I am sure I can find flaws in how Trump is attempting to eliminate DNC power in education, but mostly I agree with how he’s used his power to at least make it more difficult for the Progmericans to indoctrinate our children with a systemic hatred of Americanism, Christ, and, for some reason, white people.

  1. BE THE NEWSWATCHER – If you have the capacity and resources, and you haven’t thought about it before, consider becoming a citizen journalist yourself. Here are some resources to help you get started:

Understanding Digital Journalism – Alison

Today’s journalists make extensive use of the internet to both research and publish their stories. This journalism training course covers the methods, procedures, guidelines relevant to the professional. We then provide professional advice and examine the regulations and ethics governing digital journalism. We describe the impact of the internet on the news industry and describe the skills, tools and applications that today’s reporters need.

Citizen Journalism 1010 – Independent Media

This series includes several 20–30-minute recorded presentations on topics that are relevant to both individual citizen journalists and grassroots media organizations. Here, learn (or get a quick refresher) about how to report in a way that centers lived experience, important points about press law, live coverage, social media engagement and grassroots fundraising models for independent media.

  1. BE THE EDUCATOR – On the education front, if you are a parent, or even grandparents, consider becoming a homeschooling parent/grandparent. Grandparents especially remain a mostly untapped source for homeschooling solutions for parents who otherwise wouldn’t have the option (as at least one parent has to be home for the home part of the child’s schooling to happen).

Here is a great starting resource for Homeschooling Education Supplies and more from education.com:

Homeschooling Education Resources

There are many approaches to homeschooling. One method is called Unschooling, which our editor, Paul Gordon Collier, mostly used for his daughter’s homeschooling program. The greatest proponent of this method is a former NY City Public School Teacher, John Taylor Gatto.

You can read how he implemented his version of “unschooling” in the NY public schools, earning him teacher of the year before he felt pressured to resign from teaching as the system was beginning to try to constrain him:

A Different Kind of Teacher – John Taylor Gatto

  1. FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE POTHEADS

If the hemp ban provision passed in the recent CR is not struck down or altered, many Americans suffering from chronic pain will lose access to the relief these products deliver for them.

From our report about this passage:

One such victim of the therapeutic user group was featured by CNN. They documented the case of a 14-year-old who has found that only CBD effectively keeps her crippling seizures at bay. The very CBDs she needs appear to be on the ban list.

The girl’s daughter, Lisa Smith, told CNN, “She just basically existed. She didn’t really live. And after our first dose of CBD, she was able to stay awake. She started to learn… But prior to that, there was just no hope for us.”

After 10 years of using the drug, Haley’s seizures are down from multiple times a day to two to four times a month. Her family told CNN they fear what they will do if they have to face a world without that therapeutic aid.

Read the full report on pg. xx.

  1. ALTERNATIVES – If you suffer from chronic pain or epilepsy and need these reliefs, lobby your congressman to fix the provision. Here is a link to the list of efforts already planned for 2026 to fix this hasty action.

The Main Alternatives to CBD and THC – Grok

Prepare for a world without that relief and stockpile to extend the time you have to find alternatives to what these products provide for you.

  1. STOCK UP – One source for THCA and CBD products offered at reasonable prices is JK Distro.

For most of you already using some form of these products, go to your current source and stock up. Depending on the product, remember these products have effective shelf lives, so take that into account when anticipating how much you can realistically stockpile.

INTRODUCTION

On November 12, 2025, the U.S. government shutdown ended after President Donald Trump signed what’s called a CR, a Continuing Resolution that keeps the government open for less than a year. It was the longest government shutdown in the history of the United States. The pressure to reopen the government was rising among both the left and the right (and probably helped the Democrats in the 2025 election).

A CR is optimally a mere continuation of the budget policies of the previous budget, but it has also been used to slip difficult legislation through. This CR had two provisions that fundamentally changed the previous budget’s policies, a provision allowing federal employees to sue if they were spied on by Jack Smith through Operation Arctic Frost and a provision that effectively nukes the consumable CBD industry.

President Donald Trump rose to power with a promise he would end the old political world order and usher in a government more responsive to the American people and more transparent. This government would be on the side of American global excellence that benefits Americans at home.

MIA was working on a report on how Donald Trump represents not a restoration of the American republic, but a creation of a pseudo-American oligarchy with his family positioned to be one of the inside families for generations to come. But then they killed Charlie Kirk….

After the Charlie Kirk assassination, we decided then was not the time to scrutinize what is, effectively, the only voice of REAL POWER in politics for Americans today, Donald Trump.

The President’s willingness to sign a bill that snuck in an industry-crippling provision violates American standards for due process, transparency, and any notion that the government is OF the people. The report is back on. Expect to see a report on President Trump as an ally but not a brother in our Americanism in the first half of 2026 (with the scheduled February 4th issue being the earliest release).

A multi-billion-dollar industry with 300,000 plus people deriving a living from that industry was set on fire in the blink of an eye using all the coercive double-speak standards of a fully empowered swamp.

This is the latest in a growing list of troubling actions by this administration that leads this writer to suspect Donald J Trump may be our most powerful ally against the Progmerican nation within us, but he either doesn’t fully understand the reality of power or he never had any intention of fully restoring and fulfilling the American promise of individual stewardship for all.

Whatever you feel about the growing hemp industry, whatever you feel about the consumption of these new hemp products, Donald Trump and the Republicans used Progmerican tactics to serve other special interests (mainly, the alcohol, medical, and enforcement industries) with no consideration for the reality of power as felt at the street level by their own constituents, the American citizens.

This report will show you how special interest lobbies used an emergency to pass legislation that perpetuates anti-American legislative standards we’ve been suffering under for decades now. The report will show you the legislation that created the industry, how this provision kills that legislation, the potential harms this provision will cause, and how the industry has responded.

I will also make the case for why you should care about this even if you support the outright ban of these hemp products (beyond what you hopefully see already; that it perpetuates coercive legislation-making).

A. HOW IT WAS DONE

Here is the timeline of events leading up to the passage of the hemp provision in the November 2025 CR.

In December of 2018 that year’s Farm Bill passed. It included a provision that effectively legalized a wide variety of new hemp products. From that emerged a new THC/CBD/DELTA market.

By 2023, the U.S. hemp industry reached a $28 billion cap. Texas passed a bill banning most of these products, but the Governor vetoed the bill.

In March of 2025, Kentucky passed legislation capping hemp-derived THC beverages at 5 milligrams.

On July 10, 2025, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) introduced legislation to ban intoxicating hemp products, but it failed to gain traction.

On September 23, 2025, Hemp farmers asked McConnell for a meeting, citing a willingness to agree to some new regulations, some of which they’ve already been calling on. McConnell declined the meeting.

McConnell decided to introduce his ban into the budget bill, which was met with a partisan pushback from Republicans, including James Comer.

On October 1, 2025, the government shutdown began.

On the weekend of November 8-9, a settlement was reached. Afterwards. Mitch McConnell inserted his hemp provision into the new CR, along with endorsements from 39 state AGS. They argue state laws are not enough to address the “intoxicating products.”

On November 10, the Senate debated and voted on the CR. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) filed an amendment to strike down the McConnell poison pill, but that was struck down, with 22 Democrats and 2 Republicans (including Paul) being the only ones to support the amendment.

Debate for the provision itself lasted no more than 20 minutes between 8:00am and 8:20am.

On November 11, 2025, the House passes the CR by a vote of 222-209, mostly along party lines (with the GOP voting for it). The hemp provision debate lasted no more than 10 minutes, from 2:30pm to 2:40pm.

The total debate time for a provision that IMMEDIATELY affects the lives of 300,000 Americans and millions more Americans deriving medical therapeutic use for these products was no more than 30 MINUTES TOTAL.

President Trump, knowing full well the nature of the poison pill within the CR, signed the bill November 12. One can reasonably argue Trump was choosing between two hard decisions, but this writer suspects this was hardly a tough decision for him at all, one that might pay off for him down the road in the form of RINO favor at a critical time.

This was the reflection of Trump’s pragmatism and with his association of wealth with Great America, as opposed to upholding the principles of a government OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people, not one of special interests making life or death decisions that affect millions mostly based on their own profit-driven market needs. This is not the free market; this is a controlled economy.

It was also a reflection of the dangers of “market conservatism” to Americanism (which, again, is not a free market economy).

As for popularity, a poll from McLaughlin & Associates in October of 2025 showed 72% of Americans support the continued legalization of the hemp products McConnell’s GOP-supported poison pill just nuked.

B. THE 2018 FARM BILL

The 2018 Farm Bill that passed in December of that same year changed the definition of hemp to any cannabis plant or its derivatives containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. This created space for a whole host of alternative Delta-9s, Delta-8s, THC-As, TCH-Os, etc.

Hemp growers would have a new market.

Daniel Kruger, PhD, a research associate professor at the University at Buffalo, said of the bill that it “created this massive market for products like CBD and then delta-8 based on this definition. These are products that you can often get at smoke shops or at gas stations. You can order them online. They’re most popular in states that don’t have a legalized pathway to cannabis, so people are using them as a workaround.”

Since that bill’s passage, a new $28 billion industry has emerged, providing direct employment to 300,000 people, and indirectly commercially benefiting hundreds of thousands of businesses that support the industry.

C. THE NEW REGULATIONS

Staten Island Attorney General Joshua Bauchner told the publication Staten Islander that the hemp provision in the CR “supersedes the Farm Bill which, technically, is supposed to be renewed every five years, but does not go into effect until one year from passage, or November 2026, to permit further regulation, particularly at the state level… it completely changes what is legal.  The distinction between hemp and marijuana is a fiction without scientific basis.  In theory, hemp is not psychoactive and marijuana is. They both come from the same cannabis sativa plant.  However, the threshold for that determination varies significantly based on the product and the consumer.  The CR looks to a Total THC measure, rather than just Delta-9 THC.”

Healthline’s description of the provision outlines the essential points of the new regulation:

… The new definition states that hemp may contain no more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. A “container” is defined as the “innermost wrapping, packaging or vessel in direct contact with a final hemp-derived cannabinoid product.”

Additionally, cannabinoids that are synthesized or manufactured outside of the plant will be banned. Delta-8 THC, for example, does naturally occur in cannabis, but in small quantities. In order to commercialize it, delta-8 THC producers utilize a form of chemical synthesis, during which it is converted from CBD.

One section of the bill that has drawn significant scrutiny is the provision banning cannabinoids with “similar effects” to THC. The vague language could give lawmakers wide latitude to regulate a broad range of compounds.

The FDA must issue clarifying guidance within 90 days, including a list of cannabinoids that fall under the “similar effects” clause.

This hastily written provision, whose sloppy language reflects that hastiness, was passed by the Republican Party primarily, under Donald Trump, with 30 total minutes of debate combined from both legislative chambers.

This writer has said it before and will say it again, America needs American parties. The Democrats are Progmericans, which are no Americans at all, and the Republicans seems to AINOS, Americans in name only (which is AT LEAST a lot less threatening than being anti-Americanist like the DNC).

Our only real political ally is the AINO party.

C. THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE DONE

We earlier referenced Staten Island Attorney General Joshua Bauchner’s interview with Staten Islander. In that same interview, the AG outlined one major problem the Farm Bill created that this provision exploited.

He told Staten Islander, “Congress created a viable and robust hemp industry through the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.  Unfortunately, this created a fictional distinction between hemp and marijuana, both of which come from the same cannabis plant.”

He continued, “Rather than destroy the hemp industry (at the request of the liquor and marijuana industries) the better course would have been to create a safe and regulated market for all cannabis; intoxicating hemp, medicinal and adult-use marijuana, and everything in between.”

He concluded, “By fabricating two ‘types’ of cannabis, two industries — one legal (hemp) and one illegal (marijuana) at the federal level — multiple, distinct state regulatory programs, and enticing farmers, manufacturers, and retailers to participate, Congress created a wholesale mess and, in typical fashion, tried to fix that mess by covering it up with an even bigger mess – at the loss of jobs and livelihoods.”

At risks are the businesses, careers, and jobs of 300,000 Americans, and that’s just the direct hit. Many of these are family-owned businesses that have found a way to make a nice living providing a service they enjoy providing. Again, this was done with 30 minutes of combined total debate in both legislative chambers.

Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), told Healthline “By seeking to recriminalize this market rather than regulate it, lawmakers chose to utilize a sledgehammer when they should have used a scalpel. Banning the hemp-derived products market will not decrease consumers’ demand for these products, nor will it increase consumers’ safety. Instead, it will deny many consumers who previously relied on these products, including those who did so for therapeutic purposes, from legally accessing them in the future.”

One such victim of the therapeutic user group was featured by CNN. They documented the case of a 14-year-old who has found that only CBD effectively keeps her crippling seizures at bay. The very CBDs she needs appear to be on the ban list.

The girl’s daughter, Lisa Smith, told CNN, “She just basically existed. She didn’t really live. And after our first dose of CBD, she was able to stay awake. She started to learn… But prior to that, there was just no hope for us.”

After 10 years of using the drug, Haley’s seizures are down from multiple times a day to two to four times a month. Her family told CNN they fear what they will do if they must face a world without that therapeutic aid.

D. THE INDUSTRY RESPONSE

Cannabis Business Times reflected the hemp industry response in its statement on the passage of the hemp provision:

The 2018 Farm Bill left loopholes that some have exploited, flooding the market with synthetic, intoxicating, and untested products masquerading as compliant hemp products. These products mislead consumers and threaten public trust, and we support banning unsafe, unregulated products.

But equally banning safe, science-backed CBD products that help vulnerable communities would result in nothing short of a public health crisis. It would shut down 95% of the hemp industry, destroy tens of thousands of jobs, and devastate American farmers. It would leave millions of Americans without access to safe, non-intoxicating wellness products they’ve come to rely on.

The proposed 0.4 milligram total THC container limit is not based on science. According to a recently published study by Dr. Ryan Vandrey of Johns Hopkins University, low oral doses of THC, up to 2.8mg, do not cause intoxication or impairment.

As the industry leader, we understand the need for regulation. But regulation must be rooted in science, facts, and action—not fear.

The industry itself had been seeking regulations, solid regulations that accounted for safety, for childhood access, and other issues. An industry that faces constant changing regulations has exploding expenses with each regulation change, so the industry has a self-serving interest in seeing STABLE safety regulations happen.

Coastal Green Wellness offers the industry this “Silver Lining:”

The most important takeaway for you as a consumer is the timeline. The language passed on November 12th, 2025, has a one-year implementation window.

This means nothing at the federal level changes for one full calendar year, starting on November 12th, 2025… This grace period gives the industry a crucial window to fight back…

The entire hemp industry is mobilizing. This new federal language is not viewed as a viable or sustainable solution; it is an act of prohibition that dismantles a multi-billion-dollar industry supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and countless consumers.

SUMMARY

The title of the report is a little tongue in cheek, but it’s intended to make a point. Many on the right are silent about this passage, and many more seem to embrace it. Most of them seem to be buying the narrative that this is just about ending the fun for potheads. To a lesser extent, the “save the children” narrative is broken out to support the ban.

What they don’t realize is that this passage harms far more than “potheads,” and it further erodes American Rule of Law standards. It also hurts President Trump’s political power.

This writer has no doubt that the election win of Donald J Trump in 2024 has saved us from existential threats far beyond what we face with the Trump-led-GOP majority government, so take that caveat into account as we offer serious critique to this administration, and something beyond that for the AINO Party, the GOP.

Trump’s handling of the Epstein Files, where he told his base that they were believing fake news when they continued to push to see the files finally get released, was a critical, but not fatal, blow to his MAGA brand. It made him seem as inauthentic as any swamp politician ever did.

What follows next is an own goal that might not immediately hurt his brand, but as it gets closer and closer to the deadline to pass a less draconian version of the ban, more and more Americans, his own voters, will start seeing Trump as being just as inauthentic as any other politician, especially as they experience harm as businesses begin to shut down (See how this will hurt him in the final part of our Detaining the Donkey series on pg. 2).

The passage of this bill chips further away at Trump’s political capital, and we Americans need that capital in order for him to continue to do the things we support, as well as some of the things we’ve been waiting to see (such as having the political capital to prosecute leading Democrats for treason, see pg. 2 for more on this).

If he loses political capital, the MAGA advance will come grinding to a halt and the counter-reformers will start to claw back his gains before his term even expires.

This bill also reaffirms the swamp’s tactics for making laws and rewards the highest political bidder with the spoils that come from a double-edged sword slicing open the underbelly of a whole industry just so its highest bidders can feast on the corpse.

So far, conservatives are mostly dead silent about this passage. They’re not even concerned with the violation, at least in spirit, of due process and rule of law, that was necessary for this socialist-like legislation to pass. This legislation is not at all in keeping with so-called “conservative fiscalism.”

The same gang that refuses to risk all to push to end abortion in America, while it also refuses to defiantly stand up to coerced acceptance of the LBGTQ+ plus orthodoxy, suddenly finds morals when it comes to hemp products.

Ok, so the target is high concentrations of THC and related products in liquids and jells, ostensibly, but the hammer shatters more than the target, which is most likely by design.

Our readers already know the lesson we can learn from this report. For those who haven’t been reading MIA regularly, or for those our readers have shared this report with, the lesson is this; neither party, not the Democrats, and certainly not the Republicans, either understand (in the case of the GOP) or want (in the case of the DNC) true Americanism.

Trump and the GOP want the outfits of America, but not the soul, though they’re willing to tolerate it. The Democrats want to burn the outfits and exorcise the soul.

Let us keep that in mind when we determine our reaction to our world today. In this spirit, we still hope for Trump to succeed in the areas we support him (which is still the majority of his policies). We hope he reverses his decline in political capital, for we recognize we need it maybe MORE than he does.

We also pray that the saving grace of Christ can become known to him.

Were Trump to find Christ this writer is sure many of the scales that are still over his eyes would fall away, and the fires of vanity concealing reality in their smoke and flames within will be put out in the flowing of living water.

“To keep any great nation up to a high standard of civilization there must be enough superior characters to hold the balance of power, but the very moment the balance of power gets into the hands of second-rate men and women, a decline of that nation is inevitable.” Christian D. Larson

“The Barbarian… will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marveling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers…. In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true…” – Hilaire Belloc

INTRODUCTION

If I have done my job, you will agree with me that we now assume that if America is to live, the donkey must be detained.

But how does one detain an enemy that is so integral, so enmeshed with us? And furthermore, does the Trump administration recognize the DNC as being an insurrectionist party representing America’s enemy, Progmerica?

In this final part of our report, this writer will enter into the suit of Donald Trump, assuming I had his powers to deal with what I view as an existential threat to Americanism, one that has significant support from the nation within our own, PROGMERICA.

This will be the promise part of my report, where I offer to you what I believe would be the most effective action President Trump could take to preserve the republic, restore what was lost, and fulfill what hasn’t been fulfilled, all while bringing to account the insurrectionists within that almost toppled our republic.

The second part will be the Predictive Analysis, where I step out of the Trump suit and apply my method of analysis to predict what might happen between now and 2028.

A. THE REALITY OF POWER

The Democratic Party and its collusionists are working everyday to establish an anti-American rule of law over any lands they currently govern. From NYC to LA, Progmerican Mayors are attempting reform the landscape from an American one to a Progmerican one.

Every day, the Democratic Party’s own leadership commits overt acts of treason that continue to remain unprosecuted. Rather than backing off, this de facto foreign power is only ratcheting up the violent rhetoric and tyranny against Americans wherever it rules our lands.

So long as they remain free to openly call on troops to disobey orders already ruled to be constitutional by the Supreme Court, the Democrats will only become more vicious, more determined to destroy their competing nation, America. Once we are finished, their ungodly child-sacrificing nation, Progmerica, can finally become openly fully formed.

It is for this reason that this writer suggests the government use the full extent of its constitutional and presumed constitutional powers to move decisively against the Progmerican nation from within.  But before we consider what can be done, an inventory of the reality of power is in order.

  1. THE PRESIDENT’S POWERS – Strictly speaking, the President of the United States does NOT have explicit emergency constitutional powers. While SCOTUS has given tacit approval to the notion of emergency powers, it has never ruled definitively on the constitutionality of emergency powers themselves.

Abraham Lincoln used this clause in the constitution to justify his declaration of Habeas Corpus at the start of the Civil War in 1861:

Article I, Section 9, Clause 2

“The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

As this clause comes within a section describing constitutional powers, a case can be made that this is a power congress possesses, not the President.  Two cases, one in 1863 (The Prize Cases) and the other in 1866 (Ex parte Milligan) neither explicitly affirmed nor denied the President’s power to suspend Habeas Corpus based on that clause alone.

The Prize Case upheld President Lincoln’s order to blockade Southern ports BEFORE congress acted to declare war at the beginning of “hostilities.” This ruling did not give the President the power to declare war, rather, it gave him power to act in response to hostile actions from foreign or civil powers.

The ruling gives the President military powers during a time of rebellion, but it never addressed the issue of suspending Habeas Corpus.

Ex parte Milligan struck down a part of Lincoln’s suspension of Habeas Corpus, but only where it circumvented the authority of open civic courts.

While the President can declare a rebellion, theoretically, SCOTUS would STILL have to decide once and for all if he did indeed have that power. The legal hurdle to challenge a congressional declaration of rebellion, however, is far more difficult to overcome than a challenge to Presidential authority to do so.

The reality is congress would be the far more effective declarer of rebellion and suspender of habeas corpus than the President would. Given the slim majority in congress by a party that seems to not understand the nature of the enemy within, that route appears to be effectively dead for now.

  1. DECLARING A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION – Could President Donald Trump today declare the DNC, the Democratic National Committee (corporation) a terrorist organization? The short answer is yes, but the long answer is probably not.

This is because the protections for political parties as free speech expressions do not provide exceptions based on the party’s platform alone.

This fact alone may be considered by future historians to be the fatal flaw of our constitution, that it has no rock-solid mechanism to screen itself from its homegrown insurrectionists.

Creating such a mechanism that couldn’t be abused by those same insurrectionists may be an insurmountable hurdle, but this writer believes one could be created that would still provide more protections for sustainable constitutional governance than having the minimum we have so far (especially if we look at the rise of the anti-American nation within us, the Progressive nation, starting at the turn of the 20th century).

Our only filter is having elected officials, our law enforcers, our military personnel, swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

However, we are not without hope even though the President declaring the DNC to be a terrorist organization is a BIG ASK in current year. There IS a more realistic route, but it ostensibly relies on an “independent” DOJ making the same conclusion as the President, organically.

The DOJ can open an investigation into possible treason and collusion with foreign enemies by the Democratic Party (it should have done so already).

This IS plausible and CAN lead to the President THEN being able to declare it a terrorist organization (and act accordingly, including arresting its members, even if they are elected members of government).

Declaring corporate media a terrorist organization would also run into the same problems, but again, the DOJ has every right to investigate corporate media for potential acts of treason and collusion with foreign enemies this writer is sure this entity has been committing for decades now.

In addition to treason and collusion, the easier charges of illegal political advertising have been BEGGING to be made for decades now.

Again, the DOJ solution relies on people in power independently understanding the nature of the enemy, the Democratic Party AND being willing (and free) to do something about it. This writer is not convinced Trump has such a DOJ at present. I also suspect it’s more for the latter rather than the former reason given.

As President, I would continue my efforts to filter out the Progressives and invite more Americans into the halls of DOJ power, but those are “solutions” that can easily be reversed after I leave.

  1. REALITY OF POWER CONCLUSION – The power of the President to unilaterally shut down all Democratic Party operations (including those of its collusionists like the corporate media) is iffy at best. Congress, however, has far more power to act against the DNC decisively than the President does, but a divided GOP prevents that from happening.

The liability risks of congressmembers who indulged in the Biden Committee Presidency are unknown to this writer, but in that dross there could be tools of manipulation to “win” enough votes to get congress to declare “rebellion.” This writer isn’t counting on this being possible, though I acknowledge it is not implausible.

The Department of Justice, however, is where the bulk of that power seems to lie, and I have already documented the problem with that.

B. THE PROMISE

In this scenario, I imagine I have been transported into the body of Donald J Trump with my full agentic self, but yet capable of convincing others that I am, in fact, Donald Trump. This is to put myself within what I assume is Donald Trump’s reality of power, meaning I inherit his political power, both for ill and for good, according to how it serves to vanquish Progmerica.

As the President, Trump has the capability to declare an insurrection. He can initiate emergency powers, but he cannot be sure those powers will be upheld by SCOTUS. Still, even if SCOTUS were to rule against him, much work could be done in that time period that COULD render a SCOTUS ruling moot.

If, for instance, after he declared Habeas Corpus, his agents were quickly able to produce irrefutable evidence that there is, in fact, an insurrection occurring by the Democratic Party and its corporate and social allies, SCOTUS would be rendered moot at this point.

This path would rely on Trump’s loyal intelligence team having access to information they at least know will lead to this irrefutable evidence.

If I had that confidence, I would declare a rebellion, an insurrection, and immediately empower my agents to acquire the evidence, wherever they must go, that will demonstrate to the American people, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the DNC is, in fact, attempting to overthrow the republic and replace it with a socialist-capitalist oligarchy no longer encumbered by American liberties such as the right to bear arms and free speech.

With each exposure, I would nationalize assets and schedule auctions open only to Americans who pledge to abide by American standards when running these assets. The first to fall should be the media outlets. Imagine Americans running Disney and CNN.

IMMEDIATELY upon seizing a DNC media asset (such as Disney), the government would run a public service campaign showing Americans what abortions are and what the consequence of abortions are, both to the murdered child and the mother.

It would be important NOT to over-exaggerate, NOT to use propaganda yourself. The plain facts will be more than enough to fundamentally change hearts or give them no excuse for the evil they have chosen.

It would also be important to include equal time to the pro-abortionists. This writer is confident no defense of abortion will be justified in contrast to the very real consequences of abortion on the unborn, the Mother, and those attached to the act itself.

The normalization of murdering the unborn would end. Protecting the public from the horrors of abortion will end. Americans MUST be confronted with the child sacrificing choices they have made. They MUST repent.

I believe within a few short months support for abortion will plummet, and more and more states will rightly prohibit the continued sacrificing of children for hedonistic, materialistic, sexist, and genetic supremacist reasons. From casual sex freedom to Downes Syndrome genocide, abortion is primarily used to perpetuate sin.

The fruit of unrighteousness in a land can be seen in ours; we sacrifice children, we use the plea of the needy to manipulate the masses to support their own oppression by the scoundrels who sold them the lie, we are led by infants and foreigners, and we openly curse the very name of God.

These are the lessons we learn from the prophets, from Abraham to John the Apostle.

If I lacked confidence in my loyal intelligence team, then I would assume my power to fully vanquish the Progmerican nation is not within my reach. My strategy would move from singular destruction of the Progmerican nation to continued diminishment of that nation while I shore up and even create power that supports Americanism.

Unlike Trump, I would put tremendous effort to pass a constitutional conceal carry law along with a gun ownership bill of rights law that would negate all state laws that go beyond those rights. This bill of rights law would not deliver absolute gun freedom to Americans, as no such law would ever pass our current congress, or the next congresses to come.

What it would do is set boundaries on gun licensing requirements and gun bans without fully eliminating state and local power altogether (for pragmatic reasons, no idealist ones).

If the door to confiscate our guns is shut, the Democrats will feel far more fear of the citizen than they do today. The government fearing its citizens is a true American tradition. Putting the DNC into this reality of power will encourage more Democrats from within to suddenly find reasons to pull back from their authoritarian extremist positions.

Pam Bondi is the bottleneck for other action I would like to take. For instance, I believe the heart of current DNC power is the media, the newsmakers and the movie makers both. If you take that power away, the DNC’s hold on current America diminishes by more than 75%, I believe.

Pam Bondi has more than enough obvious evidence that the media outlets are openly spreading intentional lies they know will inspire violence against Americans for the crime of being American, yet she continues to refuse to even investigate them for illegal political advertising.

If I fire her, getting a new AG willing to AT LEAST INVESTIGATE the media could be beyond my political capital, especially as I squandered a good chunk of it shaming my base when they demanded I release the Epstein files (not to mention the political capital I may have also squandered by signing the CR bill that included a hemp ban, see pg. xx for that report, First they came for the Potheads… ).

My ability to destroy the DNC’s information terrorist machine, their corporate media producers, is not within my capacity, so I must strengthen alternative media to the point where they too have a corporate media presence that captures at least half the country.

Based on the facts on the ground, I would seek to encourage Americanists of means to buy interest in these corporate outlets. Where sales are being made, I would do whatever I can as President to encourage Americanists to buy those properties. If we can’t prosecute them, maybe we can buy them out.

The long-term stronghold of the DNC is education. Here, with more information, I am sure I can find flaws in how Trump is attempting to eliminate DNC power in education, but mostly I agree with how he’s used his power to at least make it more difficult for the Progmericans to indoctrinate our children with a systemic hatred of Americanism, Christ, and, for some reason, white people.

The caveat here is his dismantling of the Department of Education, so far, appears to be producing harmful outcomes for students seeking loans for such critical occupations as Nurse Practitioner.

The fact that GOP leadership in both the House and Senate are Progmerican-lites means Trump’s ability to use legislation to codify his XOs striking down anti-Americanist ideologies being taught as fact in public school (DEI, Wokeness, Leftism in general, etc.) is minimal. He will need to reverse the trend heading into the 2026 election that, as of right now, puts the House majority in doubt.

This means my ability as Trump to significantly harm the DNC’s hold on education is limited and likely to continue to be a source of long-term power for the DNC for the foreseeable future.

Within the bounds of constitutional authority, I would implement a Federal citizenship program that educates children on Americanism, especially the Constitution and the principles it was founded upon. If I could make it mandatory, I would, though I doubt I could.

Getting this program into Republican-dominated areas is not nearly as important as getting it in DNC-dominated areas, especially the cities.

Declaring the DNC a terrorist organization is, constitutionally speaking, probably not supported. If I thought, again, declaring the DNC a terrorist organization would give my agents enough emergency power time to find the evidence that will prove they are, in fact, a terrorist organization, I would make the move anyway.

I have the same limitations on my confidence here as I do in declaring a rebellion and/or an insurrection; it would depend on having a loyal intelligence team confident they can get the evidence needed in a very short period of time.

Lacking that confidence, I would simply start referring to them as unconstitutionally driven whenever I spoke of them. For instance, I would say “the unconstitutionally driven Democrats have once again come out against American liberty, this time in the name of vanquishing the white devil, as it always is.”

Beyond that, relying on congress to declare the DNC a terrorist organization is untenable, though I would certainly make efforts to make that happen.

If other Republicans follow my lead, and influencers do likewise, accusing a current political party of treason and sedition will be normalized.

From that, pressure on the slim majority to deliver a DNC terrorist designation will grow to the point when even the Prog-lites will go along with it if only to preserve their graft-treasuring jobs.

The critical need here is for a reliable intelligence team that has the earned confidence it can move quickly with emergency powers to secure the irrefutable proof needed to convince 70 plus percent of Americans that the Donkey MUST be detained, by government force.

If he lacks that team, or that team lacks that confidence, then all Trump can do is contain and diminish DNC power while he builds up Americanist power, leaving the next battle for the midterm election.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

When Donald Trump first rose to power he was often compared to Cyrus the Great, the Zoroastrian Persian King who paid to have the temple in Jerusalem rebuilt and allowed the exiled Israelites to return to their homes. Trump was viewed as a non-believer who was yet used by God to do his work, to restore a Christian nation.

I thought it was a fair comparison, though a little flawed from the start. Trump was no outsider sending an emissary to rebuild God’s foundation, he was an insider promising to restore American greatness. Trump also proclaims to be a Christian, even if he also claims he can never get to heaven.

A fairer comparison of Trump, though one slightly flawed as well, is with the Judean King Josiah. He was a reformer who came in right after decades of unrighteous rule by his later repentant grandfather Manasseh. Under Josiah’s rule, they REDISCOVERED the book of the law which was presumably lost under Manasseh (who upended the temple from without and within using profane images to do so).

Josiah (2 Kings Chapters 22-23) proclaimed dramatic reforms. He FINALLY tore down “the high places” and performed the Passover. He enacted sweeping reforms that restored the temple assignments of the Levites. He even fulfilled a prophecy earlier told to the then King of Israel, Jeroboam of Nebat, regarding the altar at Bethel he set up at the start of the then new Kingdom of Israel (1 Kings 13).

God testifies to the righteousness of Josiah in 2 Kings:

“Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.”2 Kings 23:25

Yet after Josiah gets this vote of approval from God, he would soon after challenge Pharoah Nico to a fight God did not ordain. Scripture itself informs us, “Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God but came to fight in the plain of Megiddo.”2 Chronicles 35:22

Josiah is a righteous man who has a destiny in the New Heaven and the New Earth, but in an unrighteous impulse led by the desire to MAKE ISRAEL GREAT rather than righteous, he ended up leaving his empire to his sons, who would all prove unworthy of his righteous standards, let alone the righteous standards of God.

His sons would be blinded, slaughtered, or end their lives in exile after Jerusalem was lost to Babylon shortly after his death.

Trump is a man who sees himself as the second father of a GREAT America, which, to him, is a rich America more than it is a free one. To him, wealth IS the fundamental creator and fruit of freedom.

Unlike Josiah, who struggled with pursuing “greatness” over righteousness, Trump fully embraces greatness and has only a nominal understanding of American righteousness, never mind Christian “righteousness.”

He is more likely to immolate himself on the fiery shores of a misguided battle than he is to remain steadily on course pursuing a more patient (by the necessity of the reality of power) counter-revolution.

His call for America’s restoration of its values is hardly as deep as Josiah’s was. The high places are not removed. He continues, for instance, to treat China as a manageable “partner” in trade. He continues to support a digital currency. He supports known “RINOS’ for re-election.

He doesn’t check the freedom index daily; he checks the stock market and the jobs reports.

I suspect he is also a compromised man, a man with ties to Jeffrey Epstein that will reveal, at least, he knew of Epstein’s predation on teens, even if he only later learned of the much younger ages of his victims (which would have then triggered his turning on Epstein).

As a Josiah comparison goes, Trump hardly matches the breadth and depth of Josiah’s structural reforms even though he has truly fundamentally altered the geopolitical game (just not in clearly Americanist ways).

It goes without saying that Trump’s outward character represents a man who does not fear God, even when he rules 300 plus million humans. Yet God has moved through even “lower” men than Trump to do even greater things than Josiah did. The Apostle Paul was a murderer of Christians who became the most important Apostle second only to Peter.

For this writer, the true barometer of what to expect next will come from how the land confronts or continues to support the murder of unborn children.

Should the current trend continue towards abortions up to birth funded by taxpayers, expect a further breakdown of American civic standards in public spaces.

This will affect our quality of life across the board as more and more people find it increasingly difficult to buy things in public space from other human beings, in the presence of even more human beings, without frictions emerging. This will also affect our co-worker space, which will affect the quality and integrity of the products and services we produce.

The Americanists and Progmericans will continue to migrate to spaces they presume friendly to their people not just geographically but economically as well. When you see companies advertising themselves as Progressive while others brand themselves as some form of “Americanist” (Constitutional values might be one term), you will know the real bifurcating of two nations is accelerating.

Amongst the Americanists and Progmericans, expect infighting over who gets to be the primary standard bearer of the overall group. This will certainly hurt the Americanists as they go through the process of filtering out from within “conservatives” who aren’t really Americanists at all (especially the ACTUAL far right that still runs with the Americanists, for the most part).

At this stage, if there are more significant factions that could create a multi-polar political reality this is when that will happen. If none of the fringes have enough support to sustain hegemony over the whole, then they may break off into less effective parties but the bi-polar political reality of power will continue in these lands. There will still be only TWO real nations in this land, Progmerica and America.

The timeframe for all of this happening is months, not years. While this writer still believes there will be an election in 2026, there is a very real chance there won’t be one. If there isn’t one, it will be either because we have already balkanized (hopefully only into two major factions) or the indisputable evidence of the rebellion has managed to come out to the public, triggering a supported suspension of Habeas Corpus to detain the main leaders of that rebellion, the leaders of the DNC.

If the 2026 elections do take place, as I still support that they will, there are “opportunities” for both sides. If Trump gets a stronger House and Senate majority, then some of his XOs can be converted to laws, making them less vulnerable to the next Presidency should it be a member of the Progmerican party.

Should he face a majority DNC House, expect impeachments, subpoenas, investigations against Trump, republicans, and private citizen anti-progressive activists, all designed to slow down the Trump machine from continuing its efforts to diminish DNC power in America.

This might make the 2026 election the first potential LAST BATTLE FOR AMERICA or the beginning of the END FOR PROGMERICA.

  1. CLIMATE CHANGE JUSTIFICATION FOR CENTRAL GLOBAL CONTROL OF MARKETS DIES WITH IEA REPORT – The narrative that “man-made climate change is going to destroy us tomorrow if we don’t hand over all market control to a central global government” received another blow after an IEA report shows the greatest growth in energy production (and climate pollution) is in the emerging markets.

Efforts in these markets to convert to alternative energies have led to failure as they still cannot fairly compete against fossil fuels. Countries like India and Indonesia are expecting to see their energy demand grow by over 70%. These countries will have no interest in throttling their growth based on increasingly unfounded science. There is no global power left to create a global climate police Empire.

  1. TRUMP ENDS SOMALI IMMIGRANT PROTECTION STATUS – Following the exposure of a massive Somali Fraud scheme that has cost taxpayers millions, President Trump has declared the Somali immigrants in Minnesota have lost their protected immigrant status. The President stated “Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota.”
  2. FIRST ANTIFA TERRORISTS CONVICTED – Seth Sikes, Lynette Read Sharp, Nathan Baumann, Joy Abigail Gibson, and John Phillip Thomas have become the first Antifa terrorists convicted of providing material support to terrorists. They were arrested during the assault on the ICE Prairieland facility in Alvarado, TX. Each person could spend up to 15 years in prison.

The group plead guilty under the following terms: “Beginning on or about July 3, 2025, and continuing until on or about July 4, 2025, in the Northern District of Texas, [defendant name] planned with others to provide resources and personnel, including [himself/herself], knowing and intending that they would be used to carry out acts of terrorism.”

  1. SOCIALISM CONDEMNED BY U.S. HOUSE IN THUMB TO MAMDANI – Zohran Mamdani’s successful NY Mayoral campaign means the most powerful city in America will be led by an open Marxist-Islamist who belongs to the Socialist family of dark arts. Ahead of his taking power, congress has voted to condemn socialism by a vote of 285-98. Only 86 Democrats backed the measure. The others complained that the condemnation “selectively lists certain despotic leaders and the harms of totalitarian regimes self-labeled as ‘socialist’.”

  3. DNC TAKES OUT $15 MILLION TO STAY RUNNING – The Democratic National Committee spent $16.9 million this past October, ending the month with $18.3 million in cash. Of that amount, $15 million is from a loan they recently took out to keep the operation afloat. In comparison, the RNC ended the month with $86 million in cash, none of it from loans.
  4. TRUMP APPEARS POISED TO START RICO PROSECUTION OF SOROS, HOFFMAN – Two of the DNC’s top funders, George Soros and Reid Hoffman, may soon be facing federal prosecution if Trump’s recent comments regarding the two men bear fruit. Trump was addressing the anti-ICE terror attacks by ANTIFA black blocs when he claimed, “These are paid agitators… They’re committing acts of political terrorism on American soil. They’re funded by rich radical-left people — Soros, maybe Hoffman — and they’re going to have some problems.”
    In a White House presser, the President would later confirm his intentions to begin a RICO investigation into ALL the Antifa funders. He said of these funders “…we’re going to find out if they are funding these things. They’re going to have some problems because they’re agitators and they’re anarchists.”

  1. TRUMP SIGNS BILL CALLING ON DOJ TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES – President Donald J Trump has signed a bill that will compel the Department of Justice to make the Jeffrey Epstein child sex rape files available to the public. The move came after the Democrats started selectively leaking the files in deceptively edited ways to attempt to sully President Trump.

So far, the files have yet to be fully released. Trump wrote of the release, “Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!), was a lifelong Democrat, donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures, such as Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard), Sleazebag Political Activist Reid Hoffman, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged), Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, and many more.

  1. DEMOCRATS TELL SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY TRUMP’S ORDERS – Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) led 5 Democrat U.S. legislators in a viral video campaign appealing to the military to “refuse illegal orders.” Now, Kelly could face a military recall and court martial, while all six face potential treason charges, The video campaign was called “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” One legislator, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), when pressed, could not identify any specific “illegal orders.”

President Trump’s suggestion that treason means hanging triggered House Democrats to call the Capital Police for reasons not given. Since the viral video, more Democrat legislators have come out in support of the open call for military members and intelligence officials to commit, in essence, treason.

Well-founded suspicion is the Democrats are saying as much as they can say publicly to a sleeper cell that knows they mean insurrection, not defiance of unconstitutional orders. Given the unconstitutional policies of the DNC, this seems a well-founded concern. So far, Pam Bondi has threatened, but not charged, once again.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed the charges against former FBI Director James Comey and current Fulton County Attorney General Leticia James.

The Judge ruled the Halligan was inappropriately appointed and thus has no authority to file charges before a U.S. court. Since the judge dismissed the charges, they can be brought again. Grassley held up the confirmation of Lindsey Halligan using a Senate traditional rule called the “blue slip,” which allows a home-state Senator to hold up any confirmations of their constituents for any reason.

A special election in her district is an opportunity for a DNC pickup. A few more special elections ahead of the main elections in 2026 could theoretically see the Republicans lose their majority.

MTG said of her resignation, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.

The bill removes the permission for Federal employees who were victims of Operation Arctic Frost to sue the Federal government.

The CCDI is controlled by military leadership.

The next target appears to be Cai Qi, the director of the Central Office, who hasn’t been seen or heard from in several weeks. Should Cai Qi not re-emerge, the move would be seen as the military seeking to assert more sovereignty apart from CCP leadership, which is the source of Xi’s power over the military at present.

Now, euthanasia advocates are moving their demands from MAID for the ADULT TERMINALLY ILL ONLY to “let’s not let age be a limit.”

Dying with Dignity in Canada is lobbying for minors determined to be “mature minors” being made eligible for suicide suggestion by their “doctors.” They are willing to allow children under the age of 15 to kill themselves with parental consent, but once they turn 16 they won’t need their parents’ consent.

According to the report, from the start of the pandemic in 2020 to the current year, the number of high school students with math knowledge below the 8th grade has exploded. In 2020 it was 1%, while today it has exploded to 12%.

This is not the first university to report these numbers. George Mason and Temple have reported similar trends.

It started as a border monitoring program but has since been scaled out nationwide.

“Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, ‘Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little.

You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord .

You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.

Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.’”- Haggai 1:3-11

The path to a sustainably flourishing life is rarely going to be easy, or even as we plan it. The vagaries of life alone can alter plans unexpectedly. As our country experiences the constraining power of the rising progressive nation from within, we will surely have to be creative in dealing with whatever new legal obstacles might come our way.

The results of this last election make me feel good about the castle we bought and the plans we have for it. We have a veritable fortress with plenty of space able to aid not just ourselves but others. At a moment’s notice, myself, my wife, and my brother can meet at the castle (with my daughter and mother in tow) should catastrophe come our way.

This is a comfort in times such as these, but pursuing our Hope Castle dream as of late has largely been deferred, for now, though we have reason to hope that’s about to change.

We are about six months into our purchase of a church that we plan to turn into a castle, Riqueday Castle. It is intended to be our home, our ministry, and our sustainable flourishing model we hope others will be inspired by.

Since our purchase, we have been able to make small repairs to the church, including getting the heat working, the water running, and other minor cosmetic fixes. We have purchased the supplies we need to thoroughly clean the basement outside of an industrial strength steam cleaner we plan on using.

Our small kitchen upstairs has a new refrigerator and a hot plate (stove to come later) so it’s effectively fully functioning. Our downstairs kitchen hasn’t been thoroughly dealt with yet, though we do have the electric oven working well.

All the lights have been checked, bulbs replaced, and doors secured.

But along the way, life throws us hurdles, and these past few months have been filled with hurdles, mostly from major health issues in our family (in my household, as well as my brother’s) that have prevented us from working on the castle as consistently as we were before the healthcare issues hit.

In addition to the healthcare issues, I was in a car accident that totaled our car. After we purchased a new used car, my wife had an accident too that ALSO totaled our car. Now, we are one car down, and that car is a significant downgrade from the cars we lost. Both were Ford Explorers that had all-wheel drive. Our car is an HHR with front-wheel drive.

At present, our plan is to wait a few months to see if the prices of cars come down (they are exorbitantly high right now) to then replace our lost long-distance car.

This new vehicle reality means we can’t go up so often for one-day trips like we could before especially because our car is over 15 years old (though we still love it for local driving). The castle is 3 hours away from where we currently live.

With the winter coming, and our castle being in northern PA, we expect we might find problems getting up there regularly until the spring. Getting the major work done we’d like to do in the basement will have to wait until Spring for this reason alone.

Our new plan given our new circumstance is to start going up every other week starting in January (weather permitting), staying there from Sunday to Saturday. During the winter season, I will primarily be concerned with getting my new studio fully operating so I can work at the castle when I’m there and we can start doing our planned podcast in support of this publication, From the Belltower (which will be livestreamed from our actual bell tower).

Our castle doesn’t have a shower yet, so we will stay at my brother’s house, Bill Collier, the MIA publisher and joint owner (along with my wife and myself) of Riqueday Castle. His house is just 20 minutes away from the castle. He will also be the co-host of our show From the Belltower.

Our friend Joe, our Anglican priest, is working on preparing the sanctuary for Sunday services which we hope to start by the beginning of April. These services are for the household, family, and friends, not open to the general public (at least not for a while).

My wife is chomping at the bit (though she knows we need to be patient now) to get to that downstairs kitchen and start cooking meals for people in need.

We are all anxious to see that space become a blessing to the community around it like it once was.

We purchased the church from people who were planning to convert it into apartments. My wife especially didn’t want to see a community lose such a beautiful church and we were in a position to not only eventually to help our soon-to-be adopted community, but also serve ourselves in our dream to live an extended family household life as opposed to an atomized single-family life.

This is a dream the three of us share, myself, my wife, and brother Bill.

Our castle already has a long history in that community, and many people have shared stories of all the ways that building has blessed their lives, so we are anxious to return it to that community service it hasn’t been able to fulfill since 2022.

In the next issue, we will conclude our series, Detaining the DNC. We will also have more information about what you might expect from us in 2026. We also have news about expanding our extended family home project to at least one more site (and this one is in the family already).

The election was a major setback for America, but we have much to be hopeful for and grateful of. We still live in the freest country in the world and there are AT LEAST one hundred million Americans willing to stand strong in defiance against the rising progressive nation.

If you have a Hope Exit castle you are building, share it with us at MIAmailroom@gmail.com.

Thank you all for your continued support.

“Comrade Mao, whether he was crossing ‘a sea of surging waves’ or scaling ‘a mountain pass impregnable as iron’ always held unwaveringly to his course, setting a shining example for the Chinese Communist Party.”Xi Jinping

INTRODUCTION

Communists love bureaucracy. The average Communist party makes the opaque and brain-melting “bureaucratese” coming from inside the Beltway read like a Dr. Seuss book. But, once said Party gets itself established, that tone rapidly hurls itself over a cliff…Case in point:

From October 20-23, 2025, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) convened its Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee – a gathering of roughly 370 top party officials that serves as one of the most important events in China’s political calendar.

For Western observers trying to understand where Beijing is heading, this plenum displayed a disturbing shift: Xi Jinping has consolidated more personal power than any Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, and he’s doing it through an unprecedented purge of the military and party elite…

And he also thinks that China can ‘go it alone’, angling for full-blown autarky for the Communist Chinese state. However, the confirmation of deep-cutting purges expose a shaky regime… one armed with an impressive nuclear arsenal.

A. BACKGROUND: THE HOLLOWED-OUT HALL

The most striking aspect of the Fourth Plenum wasn’t what happened – it was who didn’t show up. Only 168 of 205 Central Committee members attended, representing a mere 82% of the body. Another 24 alternate members were missing. Neil Thomas, a fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, dubbed it the “Purge Plenum,” describing it as the hollowest CCP gathering of the post-Mao era.

The absences weren’t due to illness or travel. They represented political death sentences – officials under investigation, expelled from the party, or simply vanished into China’s opaque disciplinary system.

A total attendance of 315 members marked the lowest number since Xi came to power in 2012, dramatically lower than the three-hundred and sixty-four who attended last year’s plenum, or the 373 from the year before.

But the real shock came from the military wing of the Party. Of forty-two People’s Liberation Army members on the Central Committee, fully 27 were absent – a staggering 63% absence rate, including twenty-two generals.

Among the missing: the respected and highly experienced Navy Commander, Vice Admiral Hu Zhongming, Commander of the Northern Theatre (charged with guarding the capital of Beijing) General Huang Ming, and Eastern Theatre Political Commissar Liu Qingsong.

These are not mid-level bureaucrats; these were the men responsible for commanding China’s military forces. This is eerily similar to the Stalinist purges of the 1930’s, even if they have not reached that scale… yet.

The more Xi purges what he views as potentially disloyal elements – both political and military – the more weakened and debilitated the Communist Chinese military becomes. For Western military observers, this muddies assessments of everything from the CCP’s nuclear arsenal (see below) to their ability to both invade Taiwan, and to contest the South China Sea with the United States. This is because military leadership becomes very unwilling to actually “train” their troops for anything but parades, if such training is viewed as a potential threat to their “Dear Leader“.

  1. THE PURGE SURGE – These purges, despite their small scale (compared to those of “Comrade” Stalin) are just as dramatic and damaging. Days before the plenum opened, Beijing announced the expulsion of nine senior military officers, including one of only two vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission – China’s highest military policymaking body – and a member of the ruling Politburo.

The expelled officers included Admiral Miao Hua, the PLA’s most senior ideologist, and his deputy, General He Hongjun, who reportedly “died by suicide” in the wake of “corruption” charges.

The plenum itself confirmed that ten Central Committee members and four of the alternates had been formally expelled – a near record for disciplinary actions. Since the 20th Party Congress in 2022, at least 14 generals have been purged, including former defense ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe.

But The scale becomes even more startling when examined closely: Of forty-four uniformed officers selected to the Central Committee in 2022, only some fifteen remain untouched as of late 2025 – A POLITICAL SURVIVAL RATE OF JUST 34%.

Lower-ranking alternate members fared only slightly worse, with a c.30% survival rate. The PLA’s Rocket Force, responsible for China’s nuclear deterrent and conventional missile forces, has seen its leadership cadres severely gutted, losing at least nine senior commanders, with one analyst noting that the force has been “almost completely purged of former senior leaders“.

Official explanations cite “corruption” – “serious violations of discipline” and “duty-related crimes involving an extremely large amount of money“. But while corruption is certainly endemic in China’s system, the timing and scale suggest something much more serious: Xi is systematically eliminating anyone who might pose even a theoretical challenge to his authority, even officers he personally promoted.

These sorts of actions are not, obviously, conducive to military efficiency or coherent policies and training.

  1. SELF-RELIANCE AS STRATEGY – Beyond the dramatic purges, the plenum advanced Xi’s economic agenda for the CCP’s 15th Five-Year Plan, covering the 2026-2030 timeframe. The full plan won’t be released until March 2026, but the official communiqué revealed Xi’s priorities: “self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology” to develop what Beijing calls “new quality productive forces,” marking a definitive shift towards autarky.

Translation: Xi wants China to become technologically independent of the West, particularly in advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and military applications. The rhetoric of “self-strengthening” deliberately echoes China’s response to Western imperialism in the 19th century – a historical reference Xi’s audience understands implicitly. Whether they can pull this off or not is the real question – Short Answer: They almost certainly can’t.

Xi’s remarks to Trump at their meeting in South Korea – promising that “our two countries can totally help each other to succeed and prosper” – contrast sharply with his language while in Beijing, where he called for China to “win the strategic initiative amid fierce international competition“. One message soothes foreign audiences, the other reveals actual policy.

The plenum also reaffirmed China’s goal of reaching per capita GDP of $20,000 by 2035, which would require maintaining an annual growth above 4% for the next decade. Given China’s slowing economy, mounting debt, and demographic challenges (a festering leftover of the “One Child Policy” implemented in 1979), this is certainly ambitious, to the point of bordering on fantasy.

But Xi framed it as essential for China’s “great rejuvenation” – another loaded historical term suggesting a return to China’s perceived rightful place as the dominant power in Asia.

The problem with this rosy strategy is that in addition to the Communist state’s faltering domestic economy (see below), its flagship foreign trade scheme, the so-called “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) is rapidly collapsing, increasing the velocity of Beijing’s economic death spiral.

B. WHAT THIS ALL MEANS

Three key conclusions have emerged from this plenum. First, Xi no longer faces meaningful internal opposition. The purges demonstrated his strength, not weakness. As one Asia Society analysis noted, by 2027 Xi will have promoted a new generation of officials “who have survived and internalized 15 years of his rule” – leaders steeped in an ethos of control and self-reliance rather than reform and experimentation.

Second, the military purges raise serious questions about PLA capabilities, readiness and internal cohesion. Xi has publicly ordered the military to be ready for action against Taiwan by 2027. Yet he’s simultaneously gutting the officer corps, creating an atmosphere where, as one Taiwanese analyst put it, “no one can be fully trusted“.

This suggests either that Xi believes loyalty matters more than competence, or that the corruption his internal security forces have uncovered genuinely threatens military effectiveness. Neither interpretation is reassuring, given how volatile the internal political maneuvering of the CCP can get.

Third, Xi’s emphasis on autarkic technological self-reliance and economic independence signals that he views strategic competition with the United States as inevitable and probably permanent. The conciliatory language for foreign consumption should not fool anyone – Beijing is preparing for a long-term competition it believes will determine whether the 21st century belongs to China or remains dominated by American power.

While these three conclusions are clear, they also mark a dangerously unstable mix of competing forces, over whose control it remains unclear how well Beijing can manage. In effect, Communist China is a technologically advanced, economically unstable, Third World tin-pot dictatorship…with a population of nearly 1.5 billion.

  1. THE POWER PARADOX – Xi Jinping now exercises “complete control” according to official rhetoric, with the party calling on officials to “unite more closely around the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core“. Yet the rows of empty seats at the plenum captured the paradox: absolute authority purchased through constant purges. It is the power of fear, not inspiration.

For Americans trying to understand China’s trajectory, the Fourth Plenum provides crucial insight. The United States faces a China led by one man who tolerates no dissent, who views the world solely through the lens of great-power competition, and who is willing to sacrifice experienced military leadership to ensure the personal loyalty of the remainder.

That makes China simultaneously more predictable – Xi’s word is policy – and more dangerous, since no institutional checks exist on his judgment…the dangers of which, the Biden Administration’s “autopen” controversy demonstrated.

This is very much the 21st Century version of the “Cult of Personality” and “Great Man” theories that defined the middle forty years of the 20th Century…with potentially everything bad that comes with them.

The question is not whether Xi controls China. He clearly does. The question is whether a system built on purges and fear can execute the sophisticated economic and military strategy Beijing envisions – or whether Xi’s iron grip is slowly strangling the very capabilities China needs to achieve his ambitions.

The greater question, however, is what might happen if Xi were to die suddenly, with no clear successor. When the Soviet Union fell at the end of 1991, in the wake of the Soviet hard liner’s reactionary coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev, there were certainly “issues“. But there was never any hint of an actual civil war among various Soviet factions.

In the Communist China of 2025-2026, there is no guarantee of a new civil war not happening. There are plenty of factions within the CCP – military, Party and industrial – that would be vying for power in the sudden aftermath of Xi’s downfall (from whatever method). None of the likely options are comforting.

  1. THE REALITY OF POWEROld Is New…? – Communists always do Communist things, in very Communist ways – they are intellectually incapable of doing anything different. But, as always, History serves as both guide and warning.

While not reaching the scale of Stalin’s purges – yet – Xi’s methodology of enforcing discipline through capricious iron rule reveals a highly disturbing trend in the internal politics of a nuclear-armed state.

Communist China’s economy is slowing dramatically, despite observers desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig. This alone is a serious problem, given the Communist giant’s sheer population density.

But really, the series of dangerously disruptive purges are the true problem.

  1. WHERE THE PURGES LEAD: THREE DANGEROUS SCENARIOS – The immediate question facing Western strategists is deceptively simple: does Xi’s consolidation of power make China more or less dangerous?

The uncomfortable answer is that it makes Beijing simultaneously weaker and more unpredictable – a combination that historically produces catastrophic miscalculations.

3.1: THE 2027 PROBLEM: A GUTTED MILITARY MEETS AN AMBITIOUS TIMELINE – Xi Jinping has publicly committed the People’s Liberation Army to being ready for military action against Taiwan by 2027.

Yet he’s simultaneously purged two-thirds of the PLA’s senior leadership since 2022. The contradiction is stark: Communist China wants to prepare for perhaps the most complex and dangerous military operation since D-Day – an amphibious assault across the Taiwan Strait – with an officer corps that has been decimated not by enemy action but by its own leaders’ paranoia.

The parallel to Stalin’s “Winter War” against Finland is stark.

History offers that war as a grim precedent for today. Stalin’s purges of the Soviet military in the late 1930s removed – often lethally – experienced commanders and replaced them with politically reliable mediocrities and outright incompetents.

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the Red Army’s initial performance was catastrophically bad, with millions of casualties and staggering swaths of territory lost in the first months. The Soviet Union eventually prevailed through sheer industrial capacity and population density – advantages that won’t help China in a “Taiwan invasion” scenario requiring precision, absolute timing, intimate coordination, and split-second decision-making.

The danger isn’t that Xi’s weakened military will be too cautious. It’s that a command structure built on fear will tell Xi only what he wants to hear, rather than what he needs to know. When every officer knows that honest assessments can end careers (or lives), intelligence gets filtered through layers of self-preservation. Plans become overly optimistic. Risks get minimized. And leaders eventually make decisions based on fantasy rather than reality.

3.2: THE ECONOMIC TRAP: WHEN PROMISES MEET REALITY – Xi’s commitment to 4% annual growth through 2035 faces structural headwinds that no amount of political will can overcome. China’s working-age population is shrinking by roughly 5 million people per year. Local government debt exceeds 60 trillion yuan (approximately US$8.4 trillion).

The property sector – which drove Mainland Chinese growth for two decades – has collapsed. And Xi’s emphasis on “self-reliance” means cutting China off from the very technological exchange that fueled its previous rise…that also undermines his vaunted “Belt and Road Initiative“.

When authoritarian regimes face this combination of slowing growth and disappointed expectations, they historically reach for the nationalist playbook. A Taiwan adventure offers Xi a way to rally domestic support, distract from economic failure, and fulfill his “great rejuvenation” promises (rather like Leopoldo Galtieri in 1982) – all while the window of American distraction or weakness might be open.

The calculation then becomes perverse: Xi might choose military action – not from a position of strength but from weakness. He might be thinking that waiting only makes his economic and demographic problems worse. This is the most dangerous scenario: not a confident China executing a long-planned strategy, but a desperate China gambling that external aggression can solve internal problems.

3.3: THE SUCCESSION BLACK HOLE – Xi is 72 years old and has methodically eliminated anyone who could plausibly succeed him. The Central Committee members who survive his purges are survivors precisely because they pose no threat – which means they possess no independent power base, no vision beyond Xi’s, and no legitimacy separate from their association with him. When Xi eventually dies or becomes incapacitated, China faces a succession crisis with no obvious resolution.

This matters because it affects Xi’s timeline for major action. If he believes his window for achieving his goals – particularly regarding Taiwan – is limited to his own lifespan, that creates pressure on him for action sooner rather than later. A leader who has made himself indispensable will want to secure his legacy while he can still direct events.

This fear – the unseating of a dictator who has no clear successor – was one of the exact considerations that went into not outright invading and conquering Iraq in 1991, as Saddam Hussein – as in 2003 – had no obvious successor, and none of the Coalition powers of that time wanted to get bogged down in an occupation of a nation of over 17 million people.

And China has a population well in excess of one billion, and closer to 1.4 or 1.5 billion.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

What Should America Do? – These scenarios argue for a specific American policy response: strengthen deterrence now, while Xi’s military is still weakened by purges, but before desperation drives recklessness. This means accelerating arms sales to Taiwan, making explicit defense commitments that remove ambiguity, and working with allies to demonstrate that the costs of aggression would be prohibitive regardless of China’s internal political needs.

On the economic front, this also means that the United States needs to accelerate and expand its domestic manufacturing of general-use microprocessors, as far too much of America’s need for these is anchored in Taiwan, and is thus exposed to catastrophic disruption in the event of a Communist invasion attempt, successful or not.

The worst wrinkle here is the terrible situation with the United States military’s manning levels. After being gutted by mismanaged budgets, insane procurement strategies, and having its traditional recruiting demographics be actively discouraged (by whatever means) from enlisting, the United States military remains smaller than it was in 1941.

While there has been a “bump” to recruiting numbers in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s 2024 election, it remains to be seen if that boost can be sustained, because technology will not overcome the numbers problem, here, as Communist China is too close to the U.S., technologically speaking.

The worst mistake for the U.S. government would be to interpret Xi’s consolidation of power as evidence of Chinese strength and confidence. Dictators who rule through fear are often at their most dangerous when they are at their weakest, because they have the most to prove – to their own populations, to their purged rivals, and to themselves.

Xi Jinping has built a system where no one can challenge him. That means no one can stop him either. And a China that cannot restrain its leader is a China that Americans must prepare to deter, contain, and if necessary, defeat.

The Fourth Plenum didn’t reveal a confident superpower ready to peacefully surpass America. It revealed a nuclear-armed dictatorship trapped by its own internal logic, led by a man who has eliminated every check on his judgment, facing economic and demographic decline that he cannot admit and cannot reverse.

That is not a recipe for caution. It’s a recipe for catastrophe.

“Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, ‘Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’ Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, ‘Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.’”Esther 4:13-16

INTRODUCTION

The November 4, 2025, election delivered to the Democrats a much-needed morality boost after taking a series of critical losses that began with the re-election of Donald J. Trump. It also showed “America’ what this writer has been telling you, the reader, for some time now.

Our series on Detaining the Donkey will conclude in the end-of-month issue. This report, however, can be seen as part of the overall report, for this election shows two things, there are two countries in this land (America and Progmerica) and the Progmericans are violent extremists already convinced that Americans are essentially white supremacist Nazis worthy of death.

We now find ourselves in a position where speaking out against unconstitutional actions, no matter the cost, is an existential essential if America is to reconquer her lost lands, lands lost to the progressives.

Like Esther, we must resist the temptation to cower in fear, we must risk death speaking plainly against the injustices recently committed and the injustices to come by our enemy, the progressive nation.

We must also resist the temptation to violently act in response to these injustices we will soon see occur in the more strongly fortified progressive lands, like New York City and Virginia.

We must call upon our American civic authority to intervene on our behalf. We must count it as a righteous judgment on a land that still murders unborn children for the joy of “casual” sex if no such American civic authority comes to our rescue. Given the anti-American spirit of even the GOP, one has reason to be concerned that help might not be coming.

In this election, we saw a murder-wishing Attorney General get elected, we saw an outright Marxist-Islamist anti-Americanist get elected to be Mayor of our biggest city, and the red wave in New Jersey crash on the shores of bloody abortions.

All the conservative hype about a red wave was turned into a stinking blue mist exuding from the rotting flesh of the corpse that was once ONE COUNTRY in these lands. Where once there was America, we now know there are two countries, both fighting for existence. One country offers the lie of utopia and the other offers the burden of armed neighbors and personal responsibility.

We can only hope the utopian lie gets exposed before the power it creates ossifies in this land.

So far, white suburban “middle-class” women are choosing unborn child murder licensing over Americanism, “victim” blacks are choosing government handouts and REVENGE over Americanism, and the wealthy are voting for protections against competition from the hoi polio over Americanism.

All we have left now are the workers; yet workers are the ones being forced to foot the bill for classes of people that want those same workers dead (because of the white supremacism and the evil American empire they allegedly represent).

We will look at the key races in this election and break down the data that reveals the nature of this win for the party of Progmerica. We will also highlight the most troubling wins from an Americanist perspective, wins that reveal, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the seditious spirit of the average Democrat voter today.

They live by different standards in a country that began under Woodrow Wilson, the first zombie President (towards the end). Let us hope the last zombie President, Biden, is also the last Progmerican President in this country, ever.

A. OVERVIEW

In every major election we will be focusing on, mass mailer ballots were part of the election process, but if the statistics I was able to cull from incredibly anti-American, Progmerican-biased AI search engines like Grok are correct, mass mailer ballots didn’t factor in that greatly in Virgnia. They factored into the NJ race, but not as significantly as they did in the two previous Presidential elections.

In New York City, they may have been a “significant” factor. The specific breakdown of mass mailer ballots was not given, but the phrase “significant” was used to describe its factor in voting.

The fact that the VA election was NOT influenced by mass mailer ballots (only 10% of the vote was allegedly mass mailed) means it is likely that the Virginia election is truly a reflection of the voters.

Among those voters are the overwhelming majority of federal workers (187,000 total in Virginia), who voted for the DNC candidates knowing full well what they were, ESPECIALLY their advocation for violence as a means of political discourse in America.

In Progmerica, this makes sense. Truth is death to Progmericans, so violence must be used to oppress it. In America, this is treason. The overwhelming majority of Virginians OPENLY voted for treason.

  1. NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR’S RACE – Abortion extremist Mikkie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s race handily by a vote of 57% to 43% over Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Sherill ran mostly on abortion, promising to pass legislation that will allow women to murder their unborn children up to birth. The suburban middle class white women of the state fueled her Progmerican victory.

White middle class suburban women were highly motivated to vote in New Jersey, which led to a 54% voter turnout, the highest percentage in a governor’s race in over 20 years. Statistics on mail-in votes were not given, but more than one third of the votes were early votes or mail-in ballots, a bucket the Dems won 51% to 29%.

It should be noted the Grok reason for people voting for Sherill was given as “overall economy, strong support from independents and women voters.”

What it won’t tell you (because it’s programmed by what are, essentially, DNC acolytes) is that the main issue was the “right” to murder unborn children so women and men, and even children (in Progmerica), can whore and murder to their hearts’ delights.

The narrative around this race from the left is Sherril won primarily because of the economy, but this seems more like an attempt to evade the fact that the DNC now only exists in its defense of unborn child murder and extra rights for “disenfranchised” classes.

At least the oppressed in Progmerica will have sex without consequence (or so they think) and at least one class of people the oppressed can always feel superior to, the unborn (random clump of cells). The promised free stuff, however, won’t be coming anytime soon.

The Democrat voters of New Jersey didn’t necessarily vote for treason, like the people in Virginia did, but they overwhelmingly chose sexual licentiousness over American liberty. For we Christians, we know such a spirit bodes poorly for the people that hold it (read the prophets to see what’s coming next).

  1. VIRGINIA – The buzz about early voting initially not going great for the Democrats proved to be a false hope for Americans as the state overwhelmingly voted for violence in politics by electing a governor who wouldn’t condemn it and the highest law man in the land who also openly advocated for it.

Another abortion extremist, Abigaile Spanberger, can now be seen as the face of the white, suburban, female child murderer vote. Her refusal to condemn her fellow party member, Jay Jones, for texting he wanted to murder his republican opponents’ kids in front of him, matched the spirit she showed in defending unborn child murder up to birth. The only people abortionists don’t want you to kill are murderers and rapists. Charlie Kirk? Yes. Child rapist-murderer? No.

Now, Virginia’s Governor and Attorney General have openly advocated for terrorism, yet the DOJ refuses to arrest them after committing such an obvious crime. If you are not a progressive and you live in Virginia, 57% of your neighbors just voted to murder you. Your state leaders support your execution should you dare speak in public against them.

Spanberger beat Winsome Earle-Sears 57% to 43%. Jay Jones beat the incumbent DA 53% to 47%. Voter turnout was 55%, with only 10% being from mail-in ballots. This means, as I stated earlier, Virginia TRULY VOTED FOR TREASON. Virginia may be the first state to openly vote for political assassinations in the history of our republic, a republic they just voted against.

One could argue that the majority of Viriginia’s voters in 2025 openly committed an act of treason against our republic. One would be correct in that assumption if they view reality through an Americanist lens. You have no right to vote for political murder as you clearly did in Virginia. This is crime of the highest order.

As a Progmerican bonus, the seditionists of Virginia also voted in their first Muslim to be Lieutenant Governor, militant progressive Ghazala Hashmi. This is yet another foreigner who became an American now serving in our government on a seditious party platform. She was born in India and raised in Georgia, but not as an American, as a Muslim Indian.

Her values are progressive, which are anti-American, meaning we have reason to deport her should we reconquer this lost land. Naturalized citizens who revolt against the republic have no business being allowed to stay.

She beat the American, John Reid, by 11 points. She is also a militant abortion extremist, a trait the bloodthirsty seditionists of Virginia really love.

  1. NEW YORK MAYOR’S RACE – The real bell weather for our country is the New York Mayor’s race. In that race, newly minted U.S. citizen Zohran Mamdani beat his two opponents, Andrew Cuomo (who got 25% of the vote) and Curtis Sliwa (who got 21% of the vote) combined. He won 50.4% of the vote, a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless.

Only 41.5% of registered voters showed up, but that was the highest voter turnout for a Mayoral election in decades. Mamdani’s voters chose free stuff (a lie Mamdani won’t be able to fulfill) over Americanism. New York City voted openly for treason over America, free stuff over personal responsibility. New York City, like Virginia, has fallen.

As the mail-in ballots accounted for a “significant” percentage of the votes, New York might be given a pass since a mass mailer election is no election at all.

  1. PA SCOTUS – The PA Supreme Court race appears to be one led by white middle-class suburban women who voted to retain the three DNC judges. These quisling judges will assure PA soon passes laws that will allow women, men, and probably children too, to murder their unborn children up to the moment of birth.

White middle class suburban women helped all three Democrats win their retention by comfortable margins of around 60-40 for each.

This is my home state. I chose not to vote in this election because Pennsylvania has some of the most mass mailer ballot friendly laws in the country (with Colorado being the worst). Figuring out the percentage of mass mailer ballots is not possible, yet, but Grok reported “Pennsylvania has significant mail-in voting, but no specific percentage isolated for this retention vote; statewide trends show high mail-in usage in recent elections.”

This PA resident can attest that in 2020 my residence received no less than 5 mail-in ballots for two potential voters. I can’t remember how many ballots we received in 2024, but in 2025 we did only receive two mail-in ballots for the two potential voters.

For PA, what we actually support remains unclear, for mass mailer elections are no elections at all. Nonetheless, millions of babies will soon die for the convenience of white middle class suburban women and their murder-whoring-supporting men having the luxury of sex without consequences to themselves (which is ALWAYS an illusion, for casual sex is an oxymoron).

At least we know the vote counters chose treason, unborn child murder, over America.

  1. CALIFORNIA PROP 50 – Californians chose to fortify their anti-American empire by voting, essentially, for Democrats to gerrymander their districts even more than they already are to get more U.S. House seats for the foreign country of Progmerica that California voters overwhelmingly pledged their allegiance to.

The measure passed easily with more than 65% of the vote. It should be noted this vote on whether Democrats can cheat even more was accomplished with 85% of the vote being mass mailer ballots (with MANY returns). This election cannot be put at the feet of Californians as there was no real election at all (for all mass mailer elections are no elections at all).

The damage done to our republic is still very real, and as of the writing of this report there are no viable American political parties to fight them (and that includes the GOP). The yes voters wanted to counter GOP redistricting efforts in states like Texas. The GOP met evil with evil, further undermining American rule of law and election integrity, and the Democrats are now responding with more evil.

Winning with evil is losing in the Kingdom of God.

B. OTHER RACES OF NOTE

A couple other races highlight the criminal depravity of DNC voters. While an open Marxist lost to a progressive in the Milwaukee Mayor’s race, two violent extremists managed to take American elected office. Also, across America, more city councils have been taken over by seditionists, openly professing socialists, as more and more people choose depravity and hand-outs over dangerous liberty.

  1. ERICA DEUSO – A man calling himself Erica Deuso won the Mayor’s race in Downington, PA after a second round of vote counting. He is a trans “woman” who has openly advocated for political violence. This means Downington, PA is now in open rebellion against the republic. By all rights, the Federal government should shut this illegal government down.

The one caveat here is, once again this was a mass mailer election, which is no election at all, so the people of Downington might not have wanted any of this at all.

Upon being elected, he chose to celebrate his mental illness, saying “Tonight, the numbers are clear. We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

No, voters chose treason over America, sexual licentiousness over the republic.

Deuso is also a militant abortionist, supporting the murdering of unborn children up to birth (and possibly beyond). He is a darling of Planned Parenthood.

  1. KAOHLY VANG HER – Another foreign-born insurrectionist “new citizen” was elected Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, one of the havens for DNC Islamist extremism. In addition to being another foreigner who doesn’t understand America, the treasonous activist also boldly proclaimed she entered our country illegally, openly celebrating lawlessness.

She beat the Progressive insurrectionist Mayor Melvin Carter, who proved not to be anti-American enough for the insurrectionist voters of St. Paul. She beat him by a handful of votes after “second-round-choice votes” were counted.

The percentages of mass mailer votes was given by Grok as being between 20-30%, so while that’s a high percentage, it’s still fair to say the majority of St. Paul voters, overwhelmingly, prefer either lite anti-Americanism or hard anti-Americanism.  The slim majority chose hard anti-Americanism.

St. Paul must be reconquered.

C. KEY REACTIONS

Some key reactions from the election’s stunningly anti-American results from the President, the Vice President, and Democrat leaders show perhaps neither side knows why they won or lost.

  1. DONALD TRUMP – President Trump offered a pithy response on his Truth Social platform, writing “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to pollsters.

By my research, I would say the President is wish-speaking, not reality-speaking. The voters concerned about the economy mostly voted for Republicans, while the socialists, the beggars, and the whores voted overwhelmingly for the party of the coalition of the criminally insane. Perhaps the President doesn’t want to face the reality of power, that there are two nations in this land, and they cannot, and will not, get along.

Now that we are aware of our mutual existence, the tension is only going to increase.

  1. DNC MEDIA – The illegal campaign advertisers and information terrorists, the DNC-aligned corporate media, were giddy with the news that America lost the election and Progmerica won. The best example of their treasonous response comes from ABC News’ Good Morning America.

The host, George Stephanopoulos, told his audience that the two Virginia Democrats who advocated for political murder against conservatives were “centrist Democrats.” Are the extremists now openly raping children in public? Is THAT now what it takes to be called a leftwing extremist?

Calling them “centrist” is nothing but an attempt to normalize political murder. This is treason AND terrorism.

  1. JOSH SHAPIRO – Pennsylvania’s anti-American governor, insurrectionist Josh Shapiro (who never met a gun he didn’t want to confiscate or an unborn child he didn’t want to murder, or a girl he didn’t want to transition) cheered on America’s defeat, claiming “Americans” (Progmericans, really, which are NO AMERICANS AT ALL) voted against the chaos of Donald Trump.

This is the party that murdered Charlie Kirk, whose supporters, voters, continue to celebrate that death (ESPECIALLY VIRGINIANS!).

Shapiro’s doublespeak agit prop was this: “I think it’s going to have a huge impact. And listen, this is yet another example of the kind of chaos that Donald Trump has brought to our country. I mean, listen, Republicans control the White House. They control the House. They control the Senate. They got to reopen the government, and they got to pay these workers who do really critical tasks for us, like keeping us safe when we’re in the skies. It’s time for them to get this over with and get people back to work, pay folks, and end this shutdown.”

He knows full well the Senate needs 60 votes to complete the budget vote, yet he chooses to openly lie to his voters, spreading slander against his political opponents that will surely inspire more violence.

Leading voters to believe the Republicans could open the government with their votes alone, in these times, is practically a declaration of war, especially when the Democrats were holding out for illegal immigrant subsidies and continued healthcare fraud at the expense of many of the same insurrectionists at heart that voted for them. Shapiro’s response to the Charlie Kirk murder was to blame the President, for instance, not his own depraved party.

  1. JD VANCE – JD Vance spun the loss as the consequence of elections being held in blue states. He also seemingly associated economic factors with the loss, as many others have, though this writer disagrees with that assessment (mostly).

Vance said, “I think it’s idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts. We need to focus on the home front. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation, but we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”

SUMMARY

The 2025 Election highlights what might turn out to be the fatal flaw of our short-lived American experiment. That fatal flaw is this: How do we prevent people who do not share our American values from becoming part of our American government?

While I do not support an official Christian nation, I WOULD support an official American nation, one in which political parties cannot exist that do not agree with our values.

Since we have no such mechanism, anti-Americanists were free to walk right into our sacred lands and gently nudge us away from Americanism and into progressivism. They seek to return us to the regressive ancient form of government that presumed the state had all power to make of your life what it wills according to its own interpretation of what’s good and bad for your life.

Young adults growing up were led to believe that this already mixed economy (socialism and capitalism) is a reflection of capitalism alone. So, they vote for the part of our economy that makes it dystopian, the socialist part. With no gatekeepers to assure anti-Americanists couldn’t run for office, or be employed by state institutions, the progressives were free to walk right through our open gates.

Now, after 100 plus years of parasitical existence, the virus within America, progressivism, is ready to kill the hijacked American cell and make it a fully progressive one. People who don’t know the history of moral supremacist regimes have no understanding of the bloodshed they are voting for whenever they support a Democrat in current year.

Unfortunately, voting for a Republican hasn’t stopped the progressives so far, even when Republicans win, so one has to doubt, at this point, if the GOP is a total failed project (as this writer supports that it is).

The Progmerican problem is that while they ARE a full nation within our own (with more major institutions than our own at this point), they still have a full nation, America, existentially opposed to them (though that nation, America, has not quite yet recognized itself fully, though it is very close to happening even as I write).

Fortunately, their efforts to disarm Americans have been most effective in lands populated by treasonous progressives themselves (AMERICAN lands we MUST reclaim).

We Americans are still well-armed and filled with Veterans and retired police officers who understand how to fight guerilla wars. This is a blessing, but also a curse, as it makes it more likely a social civil war with occasional shooting becomes a fully hot civil war (which is NOT something this writer supports).

Tens of millions of human beings that we interact with every day, our neighbors, for one reason or another, have been captured by this anti-American host. There is no solution that involves plainly speaking truth to most of these people, for they are emotionally tied to a narrative that’s not easy to break.

If you say “America,” they will call it a dog whistle for white supremacism, a lie told to them by information terrorists and child abusers (the DNC media, public-school teachers and college professors).

Next to the DNC media, this group has the most reckoning it needs to face, for it has been brutalizing children for decades on our dimes, training them to hate their parents, their country, and, for white children, their own skins.

School shootings aren’t a gun problem, they’re a schoolteacher terrorizing children and school districts medicating children problem.

They are fighting the evil in the world, America, the white race, and they truly believe we are evil, for information terrorists in the media and the classrooms have been traumatizing our children with these lies.

This leads our children to believe that when they murder, they execute murderers; when they cheat, they tactically outsmart you; when they unperson you for your beliefs, they’re fighting the oppression they are SURE your words will cause.

THEY BELIEVE THIS, IT’S NOT A DELUSION TO THEM!

They are fighting the evil of the world, us. The information terrorists have made all our effective language counters to their lies “dog whistles” of Nazism. When you speak truth, they hear Nazi dog whistles. Speak of integrity, it’s white supremacism, speak of empiric facts, it’s white supremacism.

In the last part of our series, Detaining the Donkey, I will offer you my solutions to our woes as well as my predictive analysis of what’s about to happen over the next few months. Those that can should shore up what they can, build mutual support networks of friends and family, and prepare for a life where you have to provide for yourselves for a little while.

There are two nations within, and neither can afford to let the other continue to exist now that we clearly know of our mutual, existentially opposed, existences.

After this election, there is no doubt in my mind that what I suspected long ago is true, and now processing that reality is difficult. But I exist in a story larger than America, I exist in the gospel story. Yet even in that gospel story I can find reason to be a good steward of my people, Americans, and, like the exiles after the fall of Samaria and Judah, I will serve whatever country God puts me in, including this one.

We shall stand or fall together, my fellow Americans. The time to face the reality of two nations with one land is here and so far, it appears no one in charge (including Trump and the GOP) either understands where we’re headed or wants to stop it.

The voters in these blue states made it clear, they want war. I am afraid, war might be coming very soon.

If the progressives win, I will be a good steward of their nation until they compel me to defy God’s law (assuming I survive their inevitable purge of “evil” such regimes always carry out, from Pol Pot to Stalin).

Daniel, Jospeh both show this stewardship. But Esther, perhaps, shows it best in our context.

Esther learned of a plot to have her people, the Jews, murdered. While she was Queen, she had no right to come to the King unless he sent for her. Her Uncle, Mordeci, didn’t plot an overthrow of the King, rather he sought to have his niece plead his case.

Esther faced death to enter the King’s court unsolicited, but fortunately for her the King, Ahasuerus, welcomed her, leading to her turning the tables on the man who plotted to kill her people, Haman (who hung on the gallows he had built for her Uncle).

So here we are, ready to be good stewards of whatever nation God calls us into, through exile or liberation, whichever it might be. Do all we can, without violence, to stop the progressive nation from conquering us from within but accept their role as an instrument of God’s judgment should they be victorious.

And yes, risk death, but don’t take it, like Esther did, until they had civic authority to do so (which she did through the King’s edicts he declared for her).

Recapping People Advance News from 11/01/2025 to 11/12/2025

A. TRENDING

  1. OLYMPICS TO FREE WOMEN FROM MEN IN SPORTS? – The International Olympic Committee will ALLEGEDLY not allow men presenting as women to compete with women in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. In addition to trans “women,” women with unusually high masculine features will also not be allowed to compete. The full confirmation of this change, however, has not been given.

The half-confirmed announcement came through an International Olympic Committee (IOC) statement, declaring the reason for the policy shift is because “An update was given by the IOC’s director of health, medicine and science to the IOC Members last week during the IOC commission meetings. The working group is continuing its discussions on this topic and no decisions have been taken yet.”

  1. REMINDER: WERE IT NOT FOR TRUMP, OUR TROOPS WOULD BE UNPAID DURING THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN – Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) reminded Americans on the “Alex Marlow” show that during the government shutdown that she put at the feet of Democrats, American troops would not be paid were it not for Donald Trump.

She said, “My daughter is an active-duty servicemember, her husband is also an active-duty servicemember. So, there’s a two-member family that would not be receiving pay if President Donald Trump hadn’t cobbled together the pennies to pay our servicemembers.”

  1. BBC RESIGNATIONS FOLLOW EXPOSURE OF DOCTORED TRUMP JANUARY 6 SPEECH – After the BBC was exposed for releasing a documentary one week before the 2024 election that showed a deceptively edited video of President Trump, its top leadership is now being forced to resign. The video was clearly edited to make it appear President Trump was calling for an insurrection on January 6.

Some of the top casualties, so far, include BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness. While the UK left is doubling down on its defense of the indefensible, calls from rank-and-file British to ban the television license in light of their bias being clearly exposed have only increased.

  1. AMERICANS WANT BIDEN AUTOPEN ARRESTS – A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows 52% of Americans want former Biden aids connected to the autopen scandal prosecuted. 32% said they disagreed, while 17% said they weren’t sure. Another Rasmussen Reports poll shows 55% of U.S. voters “consider it likely that, when Biden was president, members of his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without Biden’s knowledge.”

B. U.S. POLITICS

  1. MORE MAGA CASUALTIES OF DNC LAWFARE PARDONED BY TRUMP – President Donald Trump continues to strategically pardon political targets of the Democratic party for what seems to be a slow-drip pardoning process. In this round, he pardoned dozens of people prosecuted by the DNC for daring to challenge the illegal mass mailer 2020 election (an illegality the courts have yet to even address, let alone rightly identify, though that might soon change).
  2. Among those pardoned include former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows, as well as lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Trump called the action “No MAGA left behind,” with his pardon attorney, Ed Martin, saying of the pardons, “President Trump is putting an end to the Biden regime’s communist tactics once and for all.”

3. GILL SERVES BOESBERG IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES – Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) has officially filed articles of impeachment against Progmerican Judge James Boesberg for the role he allegedly played in the Jack Smith run insurrectionist operation Arctic Frost.

The articles read, in part, “Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation project codenamed ARCTIC FROST.”

Gill told Fox News, “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors.”

4. DNC’S INSURRECTIONIST LAWFARE MACHINE FACES MORE POTENTIAL INDICTMENTS – More top officials of the Democratic Party’s insurrectionist lawfare machine now face subpoenas from a Florida grand jury. The Grand Jury is investigating the DNC’s insurrectionist “Operation Arctic Frost,” which sought to use the DOJ to destroy political opposition to the soviet-styled party, the Democratic Party.

Included in the list are former CIA Director John Brennan and two former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. These three were key leaders in the Progmerican operation intended to overthrow the republic and replace it with the Soviet Progmerica.

5. TEXAS AG SUES COUNTY FUNDING ANTI-ICE TERROR OPERATIONS – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accusing the Harris County Commissioners Court of redirecting more than $1.3 million tax dollars into the hands of Antifa organizations committing acts of terror on ICE agents. Paxton wrote, “We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration. Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from.”

C. CULTURE

  1. U.S. COURT STRIKES DOWN SCHOOL RULE COMPELLING CHILDREN TO USE TRANS PRONOUNS ONLY – The U.S. 6th District Court has ruled an Ohio school district does not have a right to punish students for not using the “preferred” pronouns of students, including transgendered students. The majority wrote, “Our society continues to debate whether biological pronouns are appropriate or offensive — just as it continues to debate many other issues surrounding transgender rights.”
  2. TEXAS LAW BANNING DRAG SHOWS FOR KIDS UPHELD BY 5TH CIRCUIT – One of the main instigators of a Texas law that banned sex shows for kids, including drag shows, is celebrating the 5th circuit’s ruling upholding that same law. Sarah Gonzalez, Vice President of Texas Family Project, was one of the main drivers behind the creation and passage of the bill.

She said of the ruling, “As I said, it has been tied up in the courts for years and we have been waiting for this moment. It is upheld. In the state of Texas, you cannot dance provocatively and sexually in front of young children. Obviously, we worked very hard to expose these all-ages shows that were happening in the state of Texas. Those exposés, those videos, were instrumental in the fight to prevent this from happening. I worked directly with legislators to craft the language of this bill. So this is very, very personal for me.”

  1. BLACK LIVES MATTER ORG FACES MORE DOJ INVESTIGATIONS – The once-darling cause celeb of the DNC Hollywood elite, Black Lives Matter, is facing yet another Department of Justice investigation, this time involving millions of dollars of funds raised during the infamous 2020 protests that made the organization’s name.
  2. TRUMP’S NIXING OF NON-BINARY OPTION ON PASSPORTS APPROVED BY SCOTUS – In a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump has the constitutional authority to end the Biden-era non-binary option on passports. The ruling struck down lower court rulings halting the order.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued to the Supreme Court, “The President’s choice to revert to prior policy and rely on biological sex—a choice that bound the State Department—should be the last place for novel equal-protection claims or Administrative Procedure Act objections.”

  1. TRUMP MOVES TO SAVE SCOTT ADAMS’ LIFE – Conservative commentator and Dilbert cartoon creator Scott Adams made an urgent plea to President Trump to possibly save his life. Adams is fighting Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. He is hoping to get access to an experimental drug that could potentially save his life. From Kennedy Jr. to Donald Trump, Adams has received responses and assurances the approval process will be expedited in light of his critical health condition.
  2. YALE HANGS CLARENCE THOMAS PORTRAIT, AT LONG LAST – After years of delays, Yale University’s law school has finally gotten around to hang the portrait of one of its most illustrious alumni, Justice Clarence Thomas.

Conservative Buckley Institute Executive Director Lauren Noble echoed the sentiment of many conservatives, saying, “It is refreshing to see Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ portrait finally take its place alongside other prominent Yale alumni after 6 years of neglect. It is encouraging to see such an outstanding figure finally receive some recognition from his alma mater for all he has accomplished. Whoever made the decision to buck the orthodoxy at Yale Law School and at long last put the portrait up deserves credit for doing so.”

  1. WOKE YOUTH FLAGSHIP MAGAZINE “TEEN VOGUE” EFFECTIVELY DIES – Five years ago, the teen magazine that early on leaned into the toxic woke message had to stop printing. At the time, the woke defenders argued it didn’t go woke and broke, it’s just a victim of digital media overcoming print media. Now, Teen Vogue is effectively being folded into Vogue as a section of the publication it originally came from. Teen Vogue ACTUALLY got woke and went broke.
  2. MAJOR WOKE ACTRESS SURRENDERS THE CULTURE WAR – U.S. actress Jennifer Lawrence has long been one of the loudest pro-woke-supporting A-list celebrities in the culture war over the last 10 plus years. Now, Lawrence is prepared to surrender the culture war, recognizing that the woke brand is as toxic as the Nazi brand now.

The actress told the NY Times, “I don’t really know if I should [speak out against Trump now. During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off… we’ve learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I’m just sharing my opinion on something that’s going to add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart.”

D. SCI-TECH

  1. LIVING METAL COULD REVOLUTIONIZE OUR SINGULARITY WORLD – As humanity moves closer to merging with machines, allegedly, researchers from Binghamton University. New York, claim to have developed a method to createliving metal.” The team was led by Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi. They aim to create a composite that would be reactive to the environment, self-healing, and highly customizable.

The applications are numerous, and some might emerge as understanding of the “living metal” evolves. The medical field could see the earliest benefits as the material begins to be used for numerous life-saving applications.

  1. GROWING PLANTS FASTER, BETTER, AND WITH 10% THE WATER, MEET THE NEW HYDROPONICS – Lights can maximize plants for optimal growing. One of the surest ways for humanity to have sustainable flourishing is to be able to grow food, and even raw materials, indoors. Limitations on hydroponics, the prevailing method for indoor growing, has kept it from becoming a dominant source for food. Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota are developing a new type of hydroponics that will reduce water needs by 10% and optimize plants for maximal nutrition and minimal grow times.

Assistant Professor Nate Eylands describes the use of lights in this new hydroponics, “Quantum dots are little nanoparticles, and they absorb photons of light and change that photon into a different photon. Say you have blue light coming in, it might be red light coming out of it. So, what we’re doing is taking a liquid quantum dot and we’re spraying it on some of these plants. You can’t tell which ones of them have it. And then on the leaf surface, they are absorbing that photon, say a blue photon, and converting it to a red photon. And that might speed up the process of photosynthesis at different stages of the plant growth.”

  1. DOCTORS REMIND DOCTORS THEY ARE NOT ORGAN HARVESTERS, THEY ARE DOCTORS – The American College of Physicians felt compelled to take a stand in defense of the patient over the organ donor. The organization wrote a paper excoriating doctors to remember their primary interest should be first, foremost, and lastly, that of the patient.

The paper stated, “It is unethical, before the declaration of death, to use any treatments or interventions aimed at preserving organs or assessing their suitability for donation that may harm the still-living patient by causing pain, causing traumatic injury, or shortening the patient’s life.”

  1. DYE COATING COULD INCREASE SOLAR PANEL EFFICIENCY BY 50% OR MORE – A new dye coating developed by researchers at the University of New South Wales in New Zealand could increase silicon-based solar cell efficiency by 20% to over 30%. It can also increase longevity. This means homeowners will need less solar cells initially, and even lesser over the long haul.

Adam Schiff forms legal defense fund– www.politico.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, a longtime adversary of President Donald Trump, has formed a legal defense fund, amid the Justice Department probe into his finances.

Schiff, who led the first impeachment effort in the House against Trump and aided the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, has become a frequent target of the president in his second term. Earlier this summer, Trump alleged in a post on Truth Social that the California Democrat “engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud” — an allegation Schiff vehemently denies.

“It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable,” Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for Schiff, said in a statement. “This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job.”

Trump specifically alleges that Schiff illicitly claimed his primary residence was Maryland for financial benefit, and his administration has tapped Ed Martin — now pardon attorney and director of DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group — to oversee the matter.

Excerpt:

Schiff has created a legal defense fund as the Justice Department investigates the allegations. Trump has appointed former D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin as special attorney in the case.

Trump accused “shifty” Schiff of mortgage fraud earlier this summer.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” he wrote on social media in July. “And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook.”

Ed Martin, the Director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group appeared on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. Martin is also looking into a case referred to the DOJ on Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) over allegations about mortgage fraud.

During his discussion with Bartiromo, Martin said they were working to hold people accountable.

He dropped some interesting information about Schiff at about 3:57 in the following clip.

“There’s a referral from Bill Pulte about mortgage fraud about Adam Schiff. That’s publicly discussed. His own lawyers have been out there,” Martin told Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.”

“Now there’s more on Adam Schiff.”

Excerpt:

If recent reports are true, Sen. Adam Schiff could have some explaining to do. According to newly-released documents, a Democratic whistleblower told the FBI that Schiff approved leaking classified information regarding the alleged Russiagate scandal to smear President Donald Trump. According to the report:

“When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer’s name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF. In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”

In its annual “Human Rights Report” for 2024 released on Monday, the U.S. State Department lists “specific areas of concern” in the U.K.

“The human rights situation worsened in the United Kingdom during the year,” the report begins. “Significant human rights issues included credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression, including enforcement of or threat of criminal or civil laws in order to limit expression; and crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by antisemitism.”

 

The UK is overrun with Muslims that hate them, and their government is directly to blame. The United Kingdom has fallen, and chances of its recovery dim every day the people continue to accept the increasingly Islamist-based tyranny placed on them. In one year alone, their own government has imported 0ver 700,000 violent Islamist extremist males of fighting age, an Islamist army, with the hope of exterminating the English race.

Starmer’s recent support of Hamas being granted an internationally recognized state shows where the allegiance is in the left, with the Islamists. Even as we speak Starmer is working to pass more online restrictions on speech to protect Allah and his pedophilic followers from being rightly called evil in public and the police have announced plans to double down on arresting those who dare offend Allah online.

While protests have only increased, especially around hotels now filled with violent Islamists on the British taxpayer’s dime, they have no coalesced around a recognition that their own government is a violent threat to the English race itself, something they have in common with “American” leftists, who hope to see the white race as a whole disappear, by any means necessary, for the good of the whole.

A new intelligence unit within the UK’s National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) will begin monitoring social media for early signs of anti-migrant unrest, as authorities respond to renewed demonstrations across parts of England. The move follows concerns of a repeat of last summer’s violent outbreaks that were triggered by misinformation and civil disorder, as reported by The Guardian.

The policing minister, Diana Johnson, informed Members of Parliament on Sunday that the Home Office is considering the formation of a dedicated “national internet intelligence investigations team.” This team will be embedded within the NPoCC and tasked with identifying potential threats by analysing online activity, helping local forces respond more quickly to emerging risks.

White Coupled Jumped by Black Mob in Cincinnati Exposes City's Systemic Racism, Starting with the Police Chief

White Coupled Jumped by Black Mob in Cincinnati Exposes City's Systemic Racism, Starting with the Police ChiefA video showing a black mob beat a white couple nearly to death went viral. The incident happened in the city of Cincinnati, whose police chief has become the symbol of the systemic racism pushed by Democrats that is leading to black assaults on white people (and, in time, vice versa, by design).

The police chief downplayed the assaults, blaming “social media journalism” for spreading lies, which include the fact that a black mob beat on white people for the crime of being white alone. The chief herself, Theresa Theetge, is facing lawsuits from white citizens who claim they were rejected as police officer candidates for the crime of being white alone.

Trump's

President Donald Trump suggested sanctions might come Ukraine’s way if Zelensky doesn’t move to make a deal with Russia. He suggested, “Thousands of young people, mostly young people, are dying every single week. If I can save that, by doing sanctions or by just being me, or by using a very strong tariff system that’s very costly to Russia or Ukraine or whoever we have.”

As a deal seems less likely, Russia has launched a major aerial assault on Kyiv while Ukraine’s drones are taking a significantly slice out of Russia’s supplies, including its oil refineries. Reports of Russian drones following U.S. routes in German, along with friction between Hungary and Ukraine over a bombed crucial oil pipeline for Hungary, suggest the risk for a general European war escalation are still extremely high.

Russia will not face restrictions alone if no progress in settling the conflict is made, the US president has warned

Washington could impose sanctions and tariffs on both Russia and Ukraine if the two adversaries fail to make progress in settling hostilities, US President Donald Trump has said.

Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House on Tuesday. The US president said that it “takes two to tango,” suggesting that Ukraine’s leader, Vladimir Zelensky, “was not exactly innocent” as far as the lack of progress in ending the conflict.

“Thousands of young people, mostly young people, are dying every single week. If I can save that, by doing sanctions or by just being me, or by using a very strong tariff system that’s very costly to Russia or Ukraine or whoever we have,” Trump stated.

He also reiterated his readiness to slap new restrictions on Moscow. “We want to have an end. We have economic sanctions. I’m talking about economic because we’re not going to get into a world war,” he said.

Trump also seized the opportunity to take jabs at his predecessor Joe Biden, calling him “grossly incompetent” for allowing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to happen in the first place.

DIFFERENT NIGHT, SAME TARGETS: As President Donald Trump considers tightening the economic screws on Moscow sometime in the near but indeterminate future, the air war in Ukraine has settled into almost Groundhog Day-like predictability, with both sides working to gain an advantage as peace prospects fade.

Russia launched another massive attack on Kyiv overnight, hitting familiar civilian targets, a five-story apartment building, a kindergarten, a shopping mall in the center of the city, and an office building housing the European Union delegation to Ukraine. The strikes, which employed almost 600 drones, 20 cruise missiles, nine ballistic missiles, and two Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, hit more than 20 sites and are being described as “the fiercest Russian attack since the Trump-Putin summit.”

“Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X this morning. “Tragically, at least 8 people have already been confirmed dead. One of them is a child. People may still be trapped under the rubble. Dozens are wounded.” The death toll has since grown to at least 14 civilians killed, including three children, with 38 injured.

“Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin,” Zelensky said. “All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined,” he said. “It is definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing.”

Kyiv, Ukraine — A massive Russian drone and missile attack hit Ukraine’s capital early Thursday, including a rare strike in the center of the city, killing at least 14 people including three children, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. It was the first major Russian combined attack on Kyiv in weeks, and it comes as U.S.-led peace efforts to end the three-year war struggle to gain traction.

“Already 14 people are known to have been killed as a result of the Russian attack, including 3 children. A horrific and deliberate killing of civilians,” Zelenskyy said in a social media post. “The Russians are not choosing to end the war, only new strikes… It is crucial now that the world responds firmly. Russia must stop this war it started and continues. For the spurning of ceasefire and for the constant Russian attempts to weasel out of negotiations, new strong sanctions are needed. Only this can work. The Russians understand only strength and pressure.”

In addition to the deaths, officials said at least 38 people were wounded in the attack.

Russia launched 598 strike drones and decoys and 31 missiles of different types across the country, according to Ukraine’s Air Force, making it one of the largest attacks since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.  Ukraine’s forces shot down and neutralized all but 41 of the weapons, its Air Force said.

‘IT’S VERY, VERY SERIOUS WHAT I HAVE IN MIND’: Despite being rebuffed at every turn, President Donald Trump is still holding out hope that Russia will come to the table to negotiate an end to the more than three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.

At a marathon broadcast Cabinet meeting that ran more than three hours, Trump indicated that despite his frustration, he’s ready to wage economic warfare against Russia to increase the pressure on Vladimir Putin. “It’s very, very serious what I have in mind, if I have to do it. But I want to see it end,” Trump said. “We have economic sanctions. I’m talking about economic. Because we’re not going to get into a world war.”

“Over the last couple of weeks, over 12,000 people died in, like, in two weeks,” Trump said. “They were Russian, they were Ukrainian, they weren’t American. So, a lot of people would say, ‘What do you care? They’re not American.’ I care. They’re 12,000.”

Pa. mail ballot envelopes will now be printed with the full year ...

The left has decided to use a sophistic tactic of equivocation in their defense of mass mailer elections. They have decided to simply refer to ALL mail-in ballots as “ABSENTEE ballots,” and accuse Trump and the GOP of seeking to ban absentee ballots. Absentee ballots are intended ONLY for people who will actually be absent, not anyone who doesn’t feel like going to vote on election day.

They will also be denying any evidence of mail-in-ballot corruption despite a recent video capturing a Democrat stuffing a ballot drop box with ballots before an August 5 primary election. The timing couldn’t have been worst as just before Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold told CNN “Mail ballots are secure.”

For mistake-prone Democrats this is a time to take Napoleon’s advice and avoid interrupting Republicans as they self-destruct by carrying out President Trump’s recent directive to abolish absentee and machine voting before the 2026 elections. Trump’s solution: Return the nation to pencil-and-paper balloting, like we used in high school.

I’ll leave aside for the moment the fact that a presidential order to do this would collide with the U.S. Constitution, which essentially instructs the president to bug out of counting, and the impossibility of counting those millions and millions of paper ballots within our lifetimes.

The result, according to mountains of evidence, would be disastrous for Republican candidates in North Carolina at every level. But it would be especially damaging to the candidate at the top of Republican ballots in 2026, Michael Whatley, the likely nominee for the U.S. Senate.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday voided a Pennsylvania law requiring proper dating of mail-in ballots. The law required the rejection of mail-in ballots improperly dated by voters. The Pennsylvania Attorney General, now a Republican, defended the law on appeal after his predecessor, a Democrat, had declined to defend it in a lower court.

Numerous types of dating errors could result in ballot rejection, the appeals court noted:

Pursuant to this “date requirement,” if a return envelope’s date field contains a mistaken additional digit, a stray pen mark, or missing information (including a year) then the ballot contained within that envelope may not be counted. (citations omitted)

The law led to 10,000 discarded ballots in the 2022 General Election. Only 4,500 ballots were discarded in the 2024 General Election after Pennsylvania redesigned the return envelope to reduce the number of discarded ballots.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that while the dating requirement only minimally burdened voters, the consequences of an improperly dated ballot outweighed any purported benefit of the requirement.

The challenge came after the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania interpreted a part of the state election code requiring voters to “fill out, date and sign” their mail-in ballot. The state supreme court held that the dating requirement mandates discarding ballots that are improperly dated.

42,000+ Children Praying Stock Photos, Pictures & Royalty-Free ...A transgendered nihilist named Robert “Robin” Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injuring 17 other children. His mother once taught at the Catholic School he opened fire on. The media focused on defending him from being “deadnamed,” as well as calling on guns to be confiscated, with some Republicans, including Trey Gowdy, joining in. Leftists also declared “where’s your god now” and “where’s your prayer now” to Christians wherever they found them online.

The children were participating in a yearly traditional Prayer Mass that begins the school year at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN. The terrorist was well aware of the school and the mass, using an AR-15, a shotgun, and a 9mm handgun to fire through an opaque window before being killed by officers. There were stories of children throwing themselves on top of other children to protect them, including one who was injured.

Two children, aged 8 and 10 were killed, while 14 other students and three additional adults were wounded. Thankfully, all of those injured are expected to survive.

The gunman uploaded a number of disturbing videos prior to carrying out the attack, many of which contained anti-Christian imagery and nods to far-left extremism. Westman scribbled a number of messages on his weapons, including “Where is your god,” “I’m the woker, why so queerious” and “Kill Donald Trump.”

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele — who now works as a partisan left-wing host for MSNBC — trashed Christians and conservatives for offering prayers in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting targeting the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and longtime Democratic Party operative Symone Sanders, Steele said that he agrees with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s stance on the “trans community.” After a transgender-identifying gunman killed two children and wounded several others, the far-left mayor has repeatedly stated that the city must stand by its “trans community” and protect them from “abuse” and “harassment.”

“As an elected official, you are on the ground with your folks and you appreciate this journey. I agree with the mayor,” Steele said.

“The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

Westman later committed suicide.

One sticker on the journal reads “Defend Equality,” featuring an image of a machine gun imposed on top of a pride flag. Others display the Nintendo character Luigi, a reference to Luigi Mangione — the man who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

As reported earlier, Westman uploaded disturbing videos to YouTube prior to the attack, lacing them with pop culture allusions and tributes to notorious mass killers. In the recordings, Westman is shown handling several firearms and ammunition magazines, alongside a target board affixed with an image of Jesus Christ.

Westman declares, “This message brought to you by BlackRock and Exxon Mobil, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon” near the beginning of the video. The footage has since circulated widely online. According to police, the rampage left at least two children dead and 17 people injured — 14 of them minors — when gunfire erupted at a Catholic school during morning mass.

Hours after a young man who appeared to identify as a woman and to hate Christians opened fire on Catholic primary school students at Mass on Wednesday, leftist Twitter had identified a culprit: prayer.

“Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings,” wrote Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and an MSNBC host. “Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.”

“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying,” lectured Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

“Forget about thoughts and prayers,” echoed CNN host Dana Bash, describing Frey’s position as one “most people feel.”

Manuel Oliver, whose own son was killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., went on CNN to say “thoughts and prayers this time are out of the picture. I mean, these kids were actually praying … the God they were all praying to, and still they were shot.”

The implied argument is, if prayer didn’t protect these young Christians from being killed, it must be useless or at least insufficient. There’s a transactional undercurrent to these protestations: that these children placed their faith in God and He failed to hold up His end of the bargain.
