Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!Q
In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All
What with the SoCal fires and the leaked memo about medical personnel required at President Trump’s inauguration, I wonder what news LS has. It will be tame in comparison, probably. I don’t have time to collect links, but they’re on LS’s site at link.

TODAY’S NEWS, December 7-8, 2025
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
Larry Schweikart
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) An angry Rutabaga crabbed at reporters on the way out the door: “I know more world leaders than any one of you [reporters] have ever met in your whole G . . .damned life.” And that’s relevant how, Rutabaga? Ya evil Demented Pervert.
2) President Trump promised to “un-ban” the offshore drilling areas that Rutabaga banned. The law is unclear, and hasn’t been tested. It will be now. Also, in a wide ranging press conference, Trump said that “all hell” would break loose if the Hamas Murder Pirates did not release their hostages; that AI was going to demand more energy and we needed to begin putting AI plants next to power stations, and that he would pardon the Patriot Day (J6) prisoners. After the presser, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said that acquiring Greenland is a “conversation to have.” Indeed.
3) Rutabaga fell asleep for two minutes during a prayer service for the New Orleans car-terrorist-attack victims.
4) An appeals court has denied Trump’s request to delay the sentencing by that snotpimple judge Merchan.. And in another court dealing with Trump issues, Fat Fani Willis in Georgia has been ordered to pay Judicial Watch over $21,000 in legal fees.
5) Good sign, as Senator Linda Grahamnesty demands “quick action” on Trump’s nominees.
6) Good news story of the day, the Washington Compost has announced more layoffs. “Democracy dies in darkness,” so last one out, turn out the lights. And a companion piece, a wonderful squealing and howling from Axios as they realize they have completely lost the information war.
7) It’s getting hard to get a jury in the CNN defamation trial cuz everyone hates CNN.
8) Citizen victory over a solar farm in Michigan.
9) Rather huge: Facebook/Meta (”Meta” means death in Hebrew) is ending its fact checking program and going with an X-type “community notes”.
10) This is the way. Exxon-Mobil has filed suit against Kollyfornia AG Rob Bonta and a bunch of NGOs including the Sierra Club for smears related to claims E-M played a role in plastics and recycling resistance.
11) Fires are raging in Kollyfornia as firefighters often don’t have the water to fight them due to Newsom’s idiotic water policies. Meanwhile, the scabbagel known as the LA Mayor, Karen Bass, is in Africa tending to the problems of Ghana. The fires are devastating. Actor James Woods saw his house burn down and has no insurance as a major company canceled his (and others’) policy.
12) North Carolina’s supes have blocked certifying of a Dem incumbent as questions of fraud are raised. This is the way.
13) Apparently having lost all the other confirmation battles the Senate is slow-walking Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
14) Apple has reportedly fired over 150 Indian employees over a massive scam they were pulling. And only about 10,000 to go.
15) The new House passed the Laken Riley Act requiring detention of all illegal criminal invaders accused of a crime. Gee, if the LAW is that you must come here legally, why isn’t it a CRIME to break the law?
16) President Trump has requested the Supreme Court step in and halt the idiotic sentencing on the 10th by the cancerous judge Juan Merchan. It is simply ridiculous to have this happen to a president-elect.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
18) Belief in miracles has risen. No surprise, given the assassination attempt on President Trump. However, keep in mind that miracles are entirely the domain of God and His discretion. It is not the same as the promises to believers in the Bible.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
19) A bill banning men from women’s sports gets a vote in the Senate. If passed, Rutabaga would ban this immediately. Probably brought too soon.
20) After a Florida transoid activist bragged about changing his name on the Florida driver’s license under a new law, the Highway Department quickly closed the loophole.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
21) The dollar reversed its decline.
22) Medical debt will soon be banned in credit reports.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
23) We are moving closer and closer to several admissions by the booger-picker elites, as the Financial Times now admits green is not feasible on its own, that people don’t want it, and that the “Rich must pay for green for everyone else.”
24) The utter idiot Prime Minister of England is flirting with violent civil war by dismissing the Muslim “gang rape” charges now being brought repeatedly. People being cold is one thing, people’s children being assaulted is another. England has had some doozies, but Starmer is by far the worst ever, eclipsing the Hitler-lover Neville Chamberlain.
25) In Pok-ee-stan as Zero used to say, twin teen sisters were arrested after setting their father on fire-—he had repeatedly raped them. I know, they won’t have real juries, but if I was on that one . . . NOT GUILTY!
26) The DOD has added Tencent and other ChiCom companies to its list of ChiCom military.
27) The Chagos Islands, which are key strategic islands owned by Maritius, are now in play as the UK government seeks to retain rights before Trump can get involved.
28) Rutabaga far outpaced Trump in growing the national debt.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
29) We now know that Amazon has given Melania Trump a $40 million documentary deal.
30) Brenton Wood, who wrote the “Oogum Boogum” (”Just Give Me A Little Sign, Girl”) song, dead at 83.
31) And in another sign that the times they are a’changin’, Dana White of UFC fame has been added to the Meta board (”Meta” means death in Hebrew).
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
32) Pfizer’s documents show that the vax made you 8.7% more likely to get the China Virus.
AND FINALLY . . .
33) On a historical note, there is a lot of fuss made about Trump’s comments about Greenland. While it hasn’t happened recently, it wasn’t that long ago that it was commonplace for nations to purchase territories. First, and most obviously, we bought the Louisiana Territory in what some claim was an unconstitutional act by President Thomas Jefferson. Then, after we got a hunk of land from Me-Hee-Co in the Mexican War (they couldn’t say too much because we literally had Marines in Mexico City), we bought more land from them in the Gadsden Purchase. Of course, there was the 1867 purchase of Alaska from the Russkies. Then the building of the Panama Canal and the Canal Zone, which we unwisely gave back to them under the deceased Jesus Carter. Then there were territories we flat-out owned that we just gave back-—the only nation in human history to do so (Cuba, the Philippines).Greenaldn has a lot to recommend it, including a strategic water route position and minerals. I don’t think Trump is serious, but it wouldn’t be the first time.

Judge Juan Merchan’s vendetta against Donald Trump has reached Captain Ahab-level madness
A little long but relevant in today’s political environment:
How much has Cuba lost due to the ‘Revolution?
Without the Castroist scourge, Cuba today would have had 15 one-term presidents of the Republic, constitutionally elected for four-year terms, and a population of approximately 18 million
Excerpt:
Do Cubans live better today than they did in 1958?
Was a social revolution needed in Cuba?
Do the Cuban people really know what the country was like before 1959, and what Castroism has prevented them from doing over the course of these 66 years?
Do they have any idea how they would live today if they had never been “freed from capitalism?”
Every government should be evaluated by the results it obtains and not the promises it makes. In Cuba, however, for half a century the powerful international left wing has been judging Cuba based on its promises, none fulfilled, while the people live worse than ever in the country’s history. On this Castroist anniversary that left, a “friend of Cuba,” should honestly answer the four questions asked above. But it won’t.
On the occasion of those catastrophic 66 “revolutionary” years, today I am going to highlight something that has generally gone unnoticed, but that explains the origin of the term “Cuban Revolution,” which was an absolutely unnecessary social one.
Ever since Fidel Castro began his work of political rebellion against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, he always spoke of a “revolution,” and that is what the 26th of July Movement talked about. It did not constitute a front for liberation, or national salvation, or democracy, which would have indicated that it was a political rebellion.
But what was the point of a “revolution” in a country close to First World conditions?
That is the question. A political rebellion is not the same as a social revolution, which is always devastating. Political rebellions overthrow governments. Social revolutions go much further.
They overturn everything. They transform, or even destroy, the very foundations of modern society, the institutions of the State, and the economy. They change the people’s way of life and monopolize the media and education; and they control customs, morals, culture, religion and philosophy.
There is no better to better way to appreciate the difference between political rebellion and revolution than the dialogue between the King of France, Louis XVI, and Duke Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, who early on July 15, 1789, informed the monarch that the Bastille fortress in Paris had been taken and that he should flee from the Palace of Versailles. “Is it a rebellion?” the king asked. “No, Majesty, it is not a rebellion, it is a revolution,” replied the clever duke very confidently.
.....Was Cuba in need of a revolution? In fact, it was one of the three countries with the highest standards of living in Latin America (along with Uruguay and Argentina), and its per capita income was double that of Spain, surpassing other countries in Europe, and was similar to that of Italy.
In December of 1958 at Italian Embassy in Cuba received 12,000 requests from Italians eager to emigrate to the island.
The people wanted Batista ousted, and that was it.
I remember it well, because I lived through it. That what the people in Cuba wanted: the end of Batista’s dictatorship, and a restoration of the 1940 Constitution, period! The people were not yearning for a social revolution, which made no sense. Why would they?
So much time has passed since that Cuba of “before” that most Cubans today have no idea what the country was like then. Those younger than 74 or 75 can hardly believe that the country was self-sufficient in terms of beef, pork, chicken, fish and seafood, milk, eggs, food, vegetables, tropical fruits, coffee and tobacco.
Or that Cuba was the largest exporter of food per capita in Latin America, in 1958 producing 960 million liters of milk (almost half a liter per capita per day); or that beef consumption was 81 pounds per person, the third highest in Latin America and one of the highest in the world.
There were more than 50 newspapers and magazines in Cuba , all privately owned. It ranked first in Latin America per capita in newspapers, magazines, television sets, radios, household appliances, and also in railway lines per square kilometer. It exported more than it imported, and was one of the three economies with the highest percentage of gold and foreign exchange reserves, due to the stability of the peso, always convertible, 1x1, with the dollar. And this data was all registered by the Ministry of Finance, the ECLAC and other entities.
Havana was a major financial center, with 62 different large and medium-sized foreign and Cuban banks, 96 smaller ones, and savings banks. In total there were some 300 bank branches in the country, according to an April 1956 report by Cuba Económica y Financiera, Volume XXXI, no. 361
Does anyone know today that at the University of Havana for only five pesos a month a young person could graduate in Medicine, Engineering, or Law, or with any other degree? Tuition was 60 pesos a year, to be paid in three installments, and classes were free? I still have three blue receipts 20 pesos each.
In January of 1959 Cuba’s economic expansion was at its peak
Does anyone know that in 1956 Cuba was recognized by the UN as one of the most literate countries in the world at a time when most Latin American nations, and Spain, featured rates of around 50%?
People are even less aware that when the Castros seized power Cuba was in the midst of the greatest economic expansion in its history, which began some 13 years earlier, at the end of the 1940s.
Large factories were built, industrial plants for the extraction of nickel and other commodities, in addition to oil refineries, hundreds of thousands of homes, large hotels, theaters, cinemas, restaurants, schools, hospitals and clinics, bridges and highways.
The tunnel was built under the Havana Bay, and two under the Almendares River, along with the impressive public buildings of the Plaza Cívica, and the Sports City, with its Colosseum. Towering structures such as the Focsa, the Someillán, the Havana Hilton (the hotel’s largest, finest and tallest facility in the world at that time), then the tallest buildings in the Caribbean. According to the Cuban Chamber of Commerce, in 1957 the island had 142,742 cars, three times as many as Chile (47,950) and almost twice as many as Colombia (84,500).
This is enough to give one an idea of what Cuba could be like today without Castroism. But the country is in ruins. And rebuilding it will take a lot of money, and effort.
Without the Castroist scourge, Cuba would have had 15 one-term presidents of the Republic, constitutionally elected for four-year terms, and some 18 million Cubans would live on the island.
Assuming capital investments of 250 billion dollars (at today’s prices), the Cuban economy would, in fact, resemble that of the United States, being very close to a First World one, or already at that level. Exports of goods and services would exceed 160 billion dollars, including
Tourism, with approximately 20 million visitors. Compare this with the 1.58 billion dollars exported in 2023, and the mere 2.2 million tourists received in 2024.
On the beaches there would be spectacular tourist resorts such as those in Florida, Cancún, the Riviera Maya, Punta Cana and the Bahamas; large cruise terminals, modern airports, highways and fast trains; a massive port on the Mariel and, at the same time, a commercial shipping center serving South America, Central America, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
Havana could be the Hong Kong or Singapore of the Caribbean as a financial, banking and fiduciary center, as or even more important than those in other large Latin American capitals.
In short, all that Cuba and Cubans have ceased to become, progress, and enjoy because of “the revolution” is truly mind-boggling.
Free Cuba now!
***************
Social revolution is what the left is trying to do to the US. Overturn everything or burn it to the ground. It has been pretty successful in Europe, so far.
IMO Cuba is as important as Greenland or Panama given that it is 90 miles from Key West and China is said to be building 4 military bases on the island.
Alaska Wilderness
@realDonaldTrump
Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!

Another fire has broken out in Hollywood Hills separate from the inferno before.
We all agree this is most likely arson, right?
They receive billions of dollars in federal funds for emergencies.
Therefore, they have an incentive for emergencies to occur.
Democrats have a vice grip on power in the state.
They take months to even count their own election votes.
What will do they with all of the money?
Is there oversights of the funds?
Who will watch the watchmen?
Have realized just how corrupt and evil the Democrat party is yet?
