“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.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“In effect, this is a total, all out, complete ban on hemp products in the United States.” – Jonathan Miller, U.S. Hemp Roundtable’s general counsel

“There’s a lot of the small retailers, small businesses and farmers that are relying on hemp sales to survive.” – Michael Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group

“This will shut everything down. There’s just no way to get to that level.” — Matt Mitchell, owner of Hemp and Barrel.

“Our hope is that within the next year, sensible legislation can be agreed upon and enacted to protect this type of product for all our customers.” — Bryan Farrell, Big Grove spokesperson

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’.”

He is also facing potential DOJ charges after Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), sent a letter to the Department of Justice recommending charges for the gubernatorial candidate.
  2. The recommended charges are connected to claims he has used on mortgage applications that his $1.2 million Washington D.C. townhouse was his primary residency while he was representing California’s 14th District (which he still does).
  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.”
  5. NEW JERSEY DEMOCRAT MUST FACE ICE ASSAULT CHARGES, JUDGE RULES – U.S. District Judge Jamel Samper has denied a motion by New Jersey State Representative (D) LaMonica McIver to not face trial over charges related to her assault of a federal official. She was caught on video assaulting an ICE officer at an ICE detention facility in Newark, NJ.

Reuters’ “straight” news claims such anti-white practices are the “centerpiece of traditional U.S. promotion of democratic values.” It’s afraid.
  2. CAIR, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD GET “FOREIGN TERRORIST” DESIGNATION FROM TEXAS – Texas Governor (R) Greg Abbott has declared the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood foreign terrorist organizations. The move comes after recent reports of widespread “Sharia” zones discovered in Texas where Islamists are ruling as if they are in Saudi Arabia and not America.

The Governor clarified what the ban means, stating it “bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down. The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’”

  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.

Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

  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.

  1. MTG’S RESIGNATION PUTS GOP HOUSE MAJORITY IN FURTHER PERIL – The GOP’s slim House majority took another potential hit after Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) resigned effective January 2025. 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. It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

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. 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 (more on this on pg. xx). 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.

Now, Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has joined the charge.

After it was confirmed by Chinese state press that Ma Xingrui, one of Xi’s strongest lieutenants, has been detained by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), it appears he did not completely silence real dissent from within. 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.

The BBC has apologized, but Trump has refused to accept their apology. He appears ready to sue them for billions. As the BBC is a state media operation, the ramifications on the special relationship between the U.S. and the UK are major. Since the UK has gone further and further far left, that relationship is only sure to be more strained, if not broken.

  2. 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.”

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. The push is gaining support in the Liberal-led Parliament.

Many MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign accounts as have anti-Trump accounts. From Gaza to Ukraine, from Gender Wars to Race Wars, propagandists and people seeking engagement for monthly X payments have been throwing gas on everyone’s fires.

  1. 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.

“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.” — Lou Holtz

“When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven’t.” — Thomas Edison

“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.

Read Plenum Tea Leaves: What China’s Fourth Plenum Reveals about Xi Jinping’s Iron Grip

By Michael A. Cessna, Military Affairs Correspondent

“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 POWER – Old 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 create “living 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.

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.

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.”

Yes, Adam Schiff Can And Should Be Prosecuted For Leaking Classified Info– thefederalist.com

If recent reports are true, Sen. Adam Schiff could have some explaining to do.

As protests continue around the UK, mostly happening Fri-Sun of each week, a report from the U.S. declares the UK is no longer a free-speech country. The planvasion isn’t slowing down, however, and Starmer’s government imported nearly 1 million haters of the UK last year along. Read more about the Soviet UK

Excerpt:

The Trump administration is accusing the United Kingdom of a number of human rights abuses in a negative human rights “report card” for the birthplace of the Magna Carta and the modern parliamentary system.

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.”

 

Planvasion UK Reaches Tipping Point

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.

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 Patience Ebbing with both Putin and Zelensky

pgnewser August 28, 2025 0

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.

Left Prepares to Defend Mass Mailer Elections with Agit Prop and Denial

pgnewser August 28, 2025 0

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.

Federal Appeals Court Voids Pa. Law Requiring Mail-In Ballot Dating– legalinsurrection.com

Source Link
Excerpt:

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.

Trans Terrorist Murders Children in Church Prayer, Left Declares Death of Prayer

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.

Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who primarily goes by just “Kennedy” on the network, argued during Wednesday’s installment of “The Five” that Robin Westman’s transgender identity is irrelevant when discussing Wednesday’s mass shooting targeting a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Westman — a biological male who started “identifying” as a female when he was 17 — indiscriminately opened fire on students as they were attending a school-wide mass on Wednesday morning. 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.”

MSNBC Host Trashes Christians, Refers To Prayer As A ‘Lie’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

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.

While speaking on a panel that included U.S. Rep. 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.

I think the pod people are here, and they’ve taken over former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). What the hell happened to this man? Once a darling of the conservative movement during the Obama years, Gowdy spoke like a CNN or MSNBC host commenting on the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Robert “Robin” Westman, a male who identified as a woman, opened fire and killed two school children. Seventeen others were injured in the attack, 14 of whom were students. Westman later committed suicide. Gowdy essentially said that there should be a debate about the Second Amendment, asking how many more of these tragedies do we need to endure before we have that debate.

Excuse me, sir? Who is this? He added that the only way to stop these shootings is to identify the suspects ahead of time or keep firearms out of their hands. You can see where we’re heading for rocky shoals here.

If you needed evidence that biased misinformation is more harmful than no information, you needed to look no further than CNN on Wednesday morning.

Just a little while earlier, the news had emerged that a shooter had opened fire on Catholic students in Mass at a school in Minneapolis. School had just started on Monday, and the Wednesday morning service had been meant to mark the beginning of the school year.

At 11 a.m. ET, it was known that the shooter was dead, and it was known that many were injured, although the exact number or if any were dead had been unreported. What wasn’t known was that the shooter was an anti-God, anti-Jewish, anti-Trump transgender former student with serious mental health issues who left a number of messages to that effect on the guns he used. This would become an optics problem for the liberal media as the day unfolded.

Weston Halsne, 10, told reporters that when shots rang out—Westman fired through the stained glass—his friend dove on top of him, protecting him.  He was struck in the back. The good news is that everyone injured in the attack is expected to survive. Seventeen people, 14 children and three adults, were injured. Tragically, two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. Westman committed suicide before police could make an arrest.

On Wednesday, Robert “Robin” Westman committed a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Westman killed two students, ages 8 and 10. Seventeen others were also wounded, some critically, though all are expected to survive. It led to the discovery of two videos, one showing the manifesto being revealed, some of which was written in Cyrillic, and another showing the arsenal of weapons that were assembled for the assault.

“Kill Donald Trump” and other rantings were inscribed on the magazines. There were also a slew of antisemitic and anti-religious scribblings, too. Westman was unhinged. Still, the FBI says it’s now investigating this as an act of anti-Catholic domestic terrorism:

Trans shooter Robert “Robin” Westman, who opened fire on Catholic children while they worshipped in Minnesota at Annunciation Catholic School, had a disturbing manifesto that glorified school shootings and paid tribute to Luigi Mangione

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.

Texas Sets Off Gerrymandering Wars

pgnewser August 28, 2025 0

Democrat States are trying to change their congressional district maps to give the DNC more U.S. House seats in 2026 following a move by the Texas republicans that gives the GOP 5 more seats in 2026. Now, every state that can is scrambling to serve its party and find new House seats through “innovative” mapping. The nature and tone of the gerrymandering wars have some calling for the removal of political parties from the process of district mapping altogether.

Democrats Threaten A Nationwide Redistricting War, But They May Not Like The Result– legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

Democrats are scrambling to respond to Texas’s bold mid-decade redistricting push, but the reality is clear: they are poised to lose badly.

A partisan move by Texas to redraw its congressional maps in the middle of the decade to secure five more GOP seats in the U.S. House set off a clamor to replicate the effort in red and blue states.

Texas Republicans, backed by President Trump, kicked off the effort to lock in control of the House. Democrats staged their usual walkout stunt, but Gov. Greg Abbott made clear Republicans would not back down.

Past efforts by Democrats to abscond and deny Republicans a quorum similarly only delayed the passage of bills, but didn’t quash them. And Gov. Gregg Abbott vowed to keep calling the Legislature back until enough lawmakers are present to pass the redistricting proposal.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom tried to flex in retaliation, announcing his state would redraw maps to add Democrats. But unlike Texas, California faces a maze of restrictions, including its so-called independent commission and voter approval requirements. That means Newsom’s threat is more bark than bite.

Meanwhile, red states are moving fast. Missouri is on top of that movement.

A document obtained by The Associated Press shows the state Senate has received a $46,000 invoice for software licenses and staff training for redistricting.

While Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe hasn’t officially announced a special session, Republican House Majority Leader Alex Riley told the AP it is “pretty likely” to happen. Riley added that he has had discussions with White House staff about it.

The redistricting war is officially on.

After weeks of bluster from dueling governors and state lawmakers, California and Texas raced forward with parallel action this week to draw new congressional maps, setting into motion a national redistricting fight that could upend the midterms and determine control of the House.

Texas Republicans on Saturday passed a new map that will help the GOP flip as many as five House seats — a partisan play at the hand of President Donald Trump. On Thursday, California Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom preemptively agreed to send a retaliatory ballot measure to voters — the first step in potentially offsetting Texas’ maneuver by creating new Democratic-leaning seats.

GOP Rep. Under Fire After Doubling Down On MAGA Betrayal: ‘We Need Action’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is doubling down on his calls to axe Republican-led redistricting efforts after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to draw out five Republican-controlled districts in his state, which is already among the most gerrymandered in the nation. Rep. Kiley’s seat is in danger of being drawn out if Newsom’s plan succeeds.

Earlier this month, the California lawmaker introduced a bill that, if passed, would prevent states from redrawing their respective congressional maps before the 2030 census. The bill was introduced as Texas Republicans moved forward with a plan that would create five additional districts that Trump won by 10 or more points last year.

A number of additional Republican-controlled states, including Missouri, Ohio, in addition to potential plans from Indiana and Florida, are considering redistricting themselves. Republicans have argued that the move is necessary due to extreme gerrymanders in Democrat-controlled states like California, Illinois and Maryland.

The ruling paves the way for the California legislature to proceed with voting as soon as Thursday on a package that would set up the special election.

Democrats Will Get A New Map And Potentially A House Seat In Utah– www.politicususa.com

Excerpt:

As if Republicans didn’t have enough problems trying to hold on to the House majority, along comes Utah to give them a whole new problem.

Republicans once again tried to ignore the will of the people and the state’s constitution, and the matter went to court.

The Campaign Legal Center explained what happened:

The court determined that the Utah state legislature violated the people’s right to alter or reform their government when they repealed Proposition 4, or Prop 4 – a ballot initiative that aimed to prohibit partisan gerrymandering by establishing the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission and creating fair, neutral criteria and procedures for adopting district maps.

Prop 4, which was passed by Utah voters and unconstitutionally repealed by the legislature, is now the law again. The current gerrymandered congressional map passed by the legislature may not be used in future elections. The Utah state legislature now has a chance to pass a new, fair map that complies with Prop 4, and if it does not, the court will order a new map, which will be used for the 2026 election.

France Faces Collapsed Government and Mass Protests Over Workdays

The French government appears to be on the verge of collapse as the embattled Prime Minister François Bayrou faces a no-confidence vote he is likely to lose. This follows his proposal to cut Easter Monday and May 8 as Federal Holidays, meaning the French will have to work two additional days that were previously paid. Protests have already begun and are only expected to increase.

The French public have overwhelmingly opposed plans to rescue the Government’s finances by abolishing two national holidays. Prime Minister François Bayrou proposed the sacrifice of France‘s Easter Monday and May 8 holidays as part of a wider effort to restore public finances. The official suggested that forcing citizens to work on the two days, of the 11 holidays observed by the French public every year, could save €4.2 billion and contribute to wider savings of €44 billion he hopes to achieve in the 2026 Budget.

However, polling carried out by Odoxa and published in Le Parisien this week shows a stark contrast in public opinion, with 84% overwhelmingly opposed to the proposals. They were almost equally against the abolition of just one holiday, with 83% expressing similar hostility to the idea. “The French don’t want it,” Gaël Sliman, president of Odoxa said. “They value their work-life balance, and this measure is seen as an act of violence and a prejudice.”

The study, based on 1,004 people representative of the French population over 18, also found that 80% considered the abolition of public holidays to be a “disguised tax” and 66% did “not see the link between working more and improving France’s debts and deficits”.

Excerpt:

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had some positive things to say about Trump’s law enforcement surge in the city today, noting the drastic drop in crimes, most notably carjackings.

This is sure to cause some anger on the left. This is precisely what most Democrats do not want to hear. They’re still trying to run with the narrative that this was some sort of authoritarian takeover of the city.

What they can’t argue with is numbers, like the ones Bowser is citing here.

NBC News reported:

“We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city,” the mayor, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Carjackings, she said, were the “most troubling” crime that plagued D.C. in 2023 and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared to the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during that same period last year.

“We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us,” said Bowser, who added that she has been personally engaged with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles…

The mayor said that since the increase in federal law enforcement officers, there have been more stops that have resulted in the seizure of illegal guns and there has been more “accountability in the system” that “is driving down illegal behavior.”

“Anybody murders something in the capital: capital punishment. Capital capital punishment,” Trump said, seeming to relish the wordplay.

“If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we’re going to be seeking the death penalty. And that’s a very strong preventative, and everybody that’s heard it agrees with it.”

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore came out swinging over the weekend, rejecting a plot by President Donald Trump to deploy federal troops to Baltimore, the largest city in Moore’s home state.

Trump has deployed federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Washington, despite a recent drop in crime. He has also threatened to repeat the process with other major cities with large Black populations. In response, Moore sent a letter to Trump on Thursday, inviting him to go on a safety walk in Baltimore to see how crime-prevention efforts have improved the situation there.

As part of our broad approach to public safety, I regularly join community advocates and elected officials to walk through the neighborhoods most affected by violent crime,” Moore wrote. “I would like to formally invite you to attend our next public safety walk in September, at a date of your choosing.”

President Donald Trump’s DC takeover has proven to be broadly unpopular among residents and seemingly counterproductive.

But the president has never been deterred by facts—and he is now setting his sights on additional cities where violent crime has already been falling.

The Washington Post first reported on Saturday that the Pentagon has for weeks been developing plans for potential troop deployments in Chicago. The report came a day after Trump hinted at such a move himself, calling Chicago a “mess” and Mayor Brandon Johnson “incompetent.” Citing officials familiar, the Post reports that the plan could include mobilizing a few thousand members of the National Guard to take to Chicago’s streets by next month.

2020 Election “Burn Bags” Found by National Intelligence Director

In a public conversation during a press conference, President Trump revealed that Tulsi Gabbard, his National Intelligence Director, found “burn bags” with evidence that shows the government was working to undermine the President’s 2020 campaign.  She said of the find, “… we are finding documents (that reveal) the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused really immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”

TRUMP: And you’ve also found many bags of information. I think they call them burn bags. They’re supposed to be burned and they didn’t get burned, having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was, and when will that all come out?

GABBARD: Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected. But you’re right. It’s, it’s, we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes and random offices, in these bags, and in other areas, which again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused really immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.

Bolton Raided as Net Closes in on former NSA Deep Stater

pgnewser August 28, 2025 0

The Former NSA director, John Bolton, is under FBI investigation for leaking classified information. The FBI raided his home looking for files connected to the investigation. According to U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, Bolton “likely published classified materials… (that) exposed his country to harm.” The leak is connected to a book he wrote, but insiders claim the investigation goes far beyond the book.

Excerpt:

Last week’s FBI raid targeting former National Security Adviser John Bolton reaches beyond alleged mishandling of classified documents in relation to a book he published in 2020, according to a report from Fox News citing a Trump Administration source. The report has fueled speculation that the former Trump official could face criminal charges.

Legal experts have long speculated that Bolton could face legal troubles due to his 2020 book “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” in which he trashed his former boss extensively. A lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleged that Bolton breached nondisclosure agreements by publishing the book without completing the required prepublication review process to ensure it contained no classified information.

The government sought to block the book’s release, seize Bolton’s $2 million advance, and prevent further distribution. The suit came after Bolton submitted the manuscript for review in December 2019, but proceeded to publication in June 2020 despite ongoing White House scrutiny

On June 20, 2020, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” The judge ultimately blocked the government’s request for an injunction to block publication, however.

Foreign Government May Have Obtained Classified Intel From John Bolton– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

New details have emerged surrounding the investigation into former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who may have allowed a foreign government to gain access to classified intelligence when publishing a memoir in 2020, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times.

Despite constant allegations from Democrats and mainstream media pundits of political targeting on the part of the Trump Administration, The Times reported that the current investigation into Bolton “began to pick up steam” during the Biden presidency. Intelligence officials began to investigate after obtaining evidence that he may have mishandled classified information, according to unnamed sources familiar with the inquiry.

Credible accusations against Bolton first surfaced in 2020, when the Trump Administration filed a lawsuit attempting to block the release of his book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” The government argued that Bolton did not go through the proper vetting process with the National Security Council when drafting the book, a mandatory process for government officials seeking to publish works that may contain classified information.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth refused to block the publication, but only because it was too late. He did conclude, however, that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” He later allowed the wider lawsuit to go forward, which was ultimately dismissed by the Biden Administration in 2021.

Something happened to John Bolton. He turned…. hard. It was such a hard pivot, I imagined someone or some entity was blackmailing him with it, maybe something to do with all his extracurriculars  in Qatar.

This raid does not surprise me. Bolton has lost the plot. Utterly. And with it, his mind, it seems.

Forced to resign under Bush, Bolton stood by the RINO President. Despite their policy disagreements, Bolton would describe his loyalty to the spineless, gutless Bush, saying, “I serve at the pleasure of the President.” And yet he afforded no such pleasure to the President who gave him his most senior position. And how badly, how desperately, he wanted to be part of the Trump administration. What a rat.

I thought I knew him. I was wrong. He’s a small, narcissistic thirst monster. His betrayal is nothing short of shocking.

As the Serbian Government Cracks Down on Dissent, China Equips them to Spy on their Citizens

The Chinese Communist Party has now been exposed for building an advanced nationwide digital surveillance system for the Serbian government that is currently being used to shut down the resistance to the regime. Citizens have been protesting since a November 2024 train station canopy collapse that killed 16 people.

The government led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), led by President Alexsander Vucic, is being accused of being corrupt to the point of making Serbia a dangerous place to live due to mismanaged public works projects. Now, protestors are being met with pro-government counter-protestors, with the violence reportedly only increasing in these clashes.

The program aims to provide facial and license-plate recognition and other surveillance capabilities integrated into a unified, citywide system.

Months of protests in Serbia reached a new intensity Wednesday night as riot police intervened to separate rival demonstrations of anti-government protesters and supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic. The president once again accused unnamed foreign powers of orchestrating the protests, which first began after the deadly collapse of a subway station sparked accusations of widespread government corruption.

Supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) threw flares and firecrackers at anti-government protesters in Novi Sad on Wednesday evening, prompting police to intervene to end the standoff, a major escalation of nine-month-long protests in Serbia.

The student-led protests in Serbia first started in November after a train station canopy collapsed in Novi Sad, killing 16 people and triggering accusations of corruption in state infrastructure projects.

Protests have since drawn hundreds of thousands of people, shaking President Aleksandar Vucic’s firm grip on power. His supporters have recently started organising counter-demonstrations, fuelling fears of possible violence.

Ponder this quote from yesterday as you continue: “Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician…”

Democrats and the media (again, I repeat myself) have decided on 30% as the statistic to claim Trump is spreading fake news, because, ACKSHUALLY, DC isn’t mostly violent anymore. It’s only very much violent. As Jennings says, good luck with that.

Whoops, wrong post. Here’s Jennings.

This is what Trump understands that the media and the Democrats (do I have to say it again?) refuse to. The Trump Admin is well aware of statistics claiming crime in D.C. “has fallen significantly from COVID-era highs.” And yet, residents of Washington DC don’t feel 30% safer than they did 30 years ago. According to a recent poll, half of the city says crime was an “extremely serious” problem, or at least “very serious.”

Will Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Transcript be Released?

After giving a lengthy interview with DOJ officials, Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison, but she also learned the House Oversight Committee was not interested in offering her immunity. Reports claim she exonerated President Trump, but beyond that, there has been no reporting.

Now, James Comer (R-TN), the House Oversight Committee chair, is demanding the transcript of the interview be released. Conservative outlets have alleged the Trump administration is preparing to release the transcripts to the public, a stark contrast to President Trump’s efforts to downplay the Epstein scandal last month.

FBI Reportedly Holds Jeffrey Epstein Jail Video With Mysterious ‘Missing Minute’– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

The FBI, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Justice inspector general are all allegedly in possession of a copy of the now-infamous surveillance video from the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center, where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019, without the missing minute of footage.

The claim comes amid a massive scandal regarding nearly 11 hours of footage released earlier this month by the Justice Department and FBI, which included a one-minute jump in the time code just before midnight on August 9-10, 2019.

CBS News reported, citing an unnamed “government source,” that the agencies have video “that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.”

As reported by CBS:

What is unclear is why that section was missing when the FBI released what it said was raw footage from inside the Special Housing Unit the night Epstein died, Aug. 9-10, 2019. The recording came from what officials said was the only relevant video camera that was recording its footage in the unit. This video has been cited by multiple government officials as a key piece of evidence in the determination that Epstein died by suicide.

Epstein’s death, as with many aspects of his high-profile sex trafficking case, has become fodder for conspiracy theories. The missing minute added to the conjecture after the release of the video, when news organizations and amateur sleuths who reviewed the video quickly noticed that onscreen jump in the time stamp.

Texas Redistricting Triggers DNC-Led Gerrymandering Wars

When Republicans in the Texas State government moved to finalize a congressional district map that eliminated two Democrat seats, the Democrats in the House fled to Illinois to prevent a quorum from taking place. While Texas moves to arrest them and strip them of their seats, a district court came to their rescue, though it appears their battle is over as they signal they will return to face the vote.

The response from Democrat governors is to declare they’re “taking the gloves off” and they’ll do the same thing Texas did, only the evidence shows the Democrats have already done it. Gavin Newsome’s efforts to sound like Trump led him to declare LIBERATION DAY as he vowed California will try to eliminate what few Republican districts remain. The only problem for him is Californians don’t support the redistricting move.

With control of the House at stake in 2021, Illinois Democrats redrew their congressional maps, removing two Republican-held districts and strengthening their position in Washington, D.C., according to a Politico report.

With the runaway Texas Democrats folding, it’s only a matter of time before the new redistricting plan passes and Republicans pick up five new House seats. The decision to gerrymander the Lone Star State was made in response to states like California, which, despite its “independent commission,” has a map that gives Democrats 43 of the 52 seats with just 60 percent of the total vote.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Wednesday confirmed that he and other local Democrats would hold a high-profile press conference geared towards combating the legislative effort to add five additional House seats in Texas.

“Donald Trump is about to have a very bad day,” Newsom wrote in a Wednesday post on X.

The president previously told reporters that Republicans were “entitled” to additional seats and said the FBI “may have to” go after Democratic lawmakers who fled the Lone Star State to ensure a vote approving the measure didn’t pass.

California voters want to keep the state’s independent redistricting commission in place, even as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) pushes to redraw the maps by giving redistricting power to California‘s Democratic legislators, a new poll revealed.

Newsom wants to redraw the state’s lines in a way that favors Democrats to combat President Donald Trump’s push for Texas lawmakers to do the same in a way that favors Republicans.

A POLITICO-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey found that 36% of registered voters in California support returning congressional redistricting authority to state lawmakers. Sixty-four percent of voters in the state want to keep the commission.

As Texas Republicans push to redraw their congressional map along (district) lines more friendly to their party, a redistricting arms race has broken out between governors from both parties.

Texas state House Republicans’ redistricting plans could hypothetically flip as many as five Democrat-held congressional seats, an effort President Donald Trump supports.

In response, California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is threatening a mid-decade redistricting of his own with a new ballot measure. On Monday, he penned a letter to President Donald Trump threatening to counter Republican districts if the Texas redistricting proceeded.

Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding that President Donald Trump respond to his threat to redraw the California congressional district maps, as President Donald Trump and others in the GOP have been pushing to redraw district maps in Texas and other states for Republicans to pick up a few more seats in Congress in the 2026 midterms.

Newsom wrote in the letter, dated August 11, “I am writing to ask you to call on the governor of Texas and other red states, who are acting on your request to draw new congressional maps through an unprecedented, mid-decade hyper-partisan gerrymander to rig the upcoming term elections, to stop those efforts.”

Democrats are increasingly explicit about their goals to turn illegal aliens into future voters — making Republican talk of amnesty or compromise more worrisome. Those efforts would be nothing less than hammering the final nails into the coffin of both the Republican Party and America.

At a Fort Worth “The People vs. The Power Grab” rally, Beto O’Rourke laid it out plainly.

“We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we’re going to drive that car like we stole it,” O’Rourke said. “We’re going to legalize every DREAMer, every DREAMer’s parents, every hardworking American doing backbreaking work that makes this country so g-dd-mn great in the first place, even greater as US citizens.”

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked the FBI to intervene to help bring back state House Democrats who left Texas earlier this week to block the GOP from advancing a congressional redistricting map.

In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday, Cornyn said he wants the bureau to “take any appropriate steps to aid in Texas state law enforcement efforts to locate or arrest potential lawbreakers who have fled the state” before referring to the Democrats who left.

Dozens of Texas state House Democrats left for other states, including Illinois and New York, this week, preventing state Republicans from doing business in the House on Monday. The remaining representatives voted to issue civil arrest warrants to the Democrats, while Gov. Greg Abbott ordered their arrest later that day.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to move towards a potential ceasefire in Ukraine. The war, right now, is seeing Russia make territory gains it hasn’t seen in over a year while Ukraine drones continue to wreak havoc with Russia’s supplies and interior in general.

Ahead of the meeting, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky appears to be throwing cold water on the meeting, saying Putin is bluffing. Europe’s world leaders are now behind Trump, hoping he can get a deal done that will stop the war, at least for now.

Iran Appears to be Bucking again on UN Inspections

pgnewser August 14, 2025 0

Britain, France, and Germany are prepared to reimpose sanction on Iran if it doesn’t let in UN inspectors by the deadline coming up at the end of this month, July. After an initial meeting with the IAEA, Iran has signaled it won’t let inspectors back into its country. Internally, it appears it is bracing for the reiteration of sanctions and is developing a strategy to offset the sanctions, mainly by relying on countries like China and Russia to offset the loss.

Excerpt:

  • First Meeting With IAEA Since June War: The Deputy Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Massimo Aparo, has departed from Tehran after conducting the agency’s first meeting with Iranian officials since the war between Israel and Iran in June. Ahead of the visit, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that renewed talks between the Islamic Republic and the IAEA would be “complicated” and “technical,” with Iran refusing to allow the agency to inspect its nuclear sites in the wake of the Israeli and U.S. bombing campaign. In June, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi called on Iran to allow inspectors access after the Iranian parliament voted to halt cooperation with the agency.
  • Iran Preparing for Snap Back Sanctions: Simultaneously, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry has reportedly advised Iranian companies to prepare for a “snap back” of UN sanctions on Iran that were suspended under the 2015 nuclear deal or have since lapsed. The ministry urged the companies to “[i]dentify alternative suppliers in countries like China, Russia, Iraq, etc., which will be less affected by sanctions.” France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known collectively as the E3, have threatened, in coordination with the United States, to trigger snapback at the end of August — meaning that multilateral sanctions would be reapplied before their expiration in October, when Russia also assumes the UN Security Council presidency. They plan to trigger snapback unless Iran provides a “firm, tangible, and verifiable commitment” to fully cooperate with the IAEA and agree to other measures to curb its nuclear activities.

BERLIN — The top diplomats of Britain, France, and Germany threatened to reimpose sanctions on Iran as an end-of-the-month deadline nears for the country to resume negotiations with the West over its nuclear program and cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

The three countries, known as the E3, wrote in a letter to the United Nations dated Friday that they were willing to trigger a process known as the “snapback” mechanism, which allows one of the Western parties to reimpose U.N. sanctions, if Tehran doesn’t comply with its requirements.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Nöel Barrot posted the letter Wednesday to X. He co-signed it along with top diplomats from Germany and the United Kingdom.

Trump Threatens to Bomb Iran Again if it Restarts Nuke Program

President Donald Trump warned Iran that any efforts to restart the damaged nuclear weapons program will be met with another round of bombings. Trump told reporters “We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we’ll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it. For a country that just got wiped out, they’ve been sending very nasty signals.”
