Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil; to volunteer, red-pill and encourage; and to pray and give thanks to God, who fights for us.
Excerpt of Q4542
"It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard. What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States, and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy? Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is: an infernal deception."
+ Carlo Maria Viganò
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.

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.

I have to say that Trump is right in many respects but people don’t realize how brutal this war has been and Trump tries to remind people of it.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have been lost on both sides. This is possibly the most brutal war since World War One.
Good luck Europe. We’re not saving your arse this time.

Been there done that. Get a good estate lawyer. You cannot do it yourself.

I really didn’t think E.PU’s original question was snarky. It seemed genuine to me. We’re all very tired after 8 years of heavy research, analysis, the discovery of ugly truths that hurt our hearts and minds and, yes, disruptors with impure motives. Our patience is thin and we’ve become cynical about almost everything and everyone.
What strikes me about the following drop is (1) the reference to what POTUS has to endure every day and (2) the necessity that we all stand together. Giving someone the benefit of the doubt and responding to an inquiry soberly may be a great first step in the drop’s insistence that we must all stand together. Thereafter, if a new poster turns out to be a dumbass, we can surely endure that minor affront and ignore the poster going forward.

Europe really thinks the purpose of NATO is for us to finance AND fight their wars for them... and Europe is abandoning most of our shared values: freedom, prayer, family, privacy... etc.

That’s an excellent point. Thank you for bringing that here, Bob!
Will Norway force Haltbakk Bunkers to fuel American Navy vessels? We can always send our own re-fueling tankers... Of course some Nordic level heads realize that they need us light years more than we need them!
😔 shucks! 💓
Great advice, Snowy. My step-father (SF) wasn’t even cold when a developer contacted me and made an offer over the phone for 25% more than the appraised value. Heirs are saying I should have sold already and SF isn’t even in the ground yet! I’m suspicious of the ridiculous offer and look forward to receiving it in writing and reading all of the hidden conditions. Right now, I’m trying to figure out if I need a real estate lawyer, an estate lawyer or both.
There was no mention of Haltbakk Bunkers being forced to do anything but US military is being serviced as needed. Probably forced😀

Texas: The Uniparty’s Playground – Steve Bannon and Mitch Little Expose the Corruption Within
Excerpt:
On Saturday’s WarRoom program, Steve Bannon and Texas State Representative Mitch Little discussed the alarming state of politics in Texas, drawing parallels with Washington, D.C. Little emphasized that while Texas is often seen as the heart of conservative America—where Trump won by 14 points—its political system is deeply compromised.
“I came down here for a couple of campaign things,” Bannon began. “But I had no earthly idea of the depth of the problem until I spent the weekend here. It’s actually worse than I thought.”
Little echoed Bannon’s concerns, explaining that Texas, like D.C., is plagued by “rent-seeking behavior” and “regulatory capture.” He described how large corporations and government work together to stifle entrepreneurship. “Everything in Texas politics now is about inviting the uniparty,” Little said, adding that this creates an environment where special interests thrive at the expense of the “little guy”—small businesses and entrepreneurs.
The two also discussed the push towards totalitarianism within both state and federal systems. “How do we silence the little guy? How do we suppress small businesses in favor of global corporations?” Bannon asked. Little agreed, noting that the “uniparty” is using the same tactics in Texas as they are in D.C. to protect their power and prevent true capitalism from flourishing.
One of the most troubling revelations came when Little described the political climate in the Texas House. He explained how, despite Texas Republicans’ strong showing in elections, the system is designed to keep power in the hands of a select few. “When you confront them, they say, ‘No more,’ and essentially hand power to the vice chairs,” Little explained. “It’s an illusion.”
Little also shed light on the “predetermined liturgy” of legislation that passes in Texas, stating that Republicans accept only the bare minimum reforms to keep voters satisfied. “Just a little bit of property tax relief here, a little bit of school choice there,” Little said. “It’s just enough to keep the rebellion at bay.”
The conversation then turned to the simmering tension in the Texas legislature. Little described the situation as a “pot simmering at 210 degrees” that could soon boil over. He warned that a few politically charged issues, such as the debate over the speaker’s role, could ignite a full-scale confrontation.
When asked about the future of Texas, Little highlighted the state’s enormous potential if it could foster true capitalism. “If we actually have capitalism here, the future is so bright,” he said. “People are moving here for the freedom, for the economic opportunities. But it’s not a permissive environment.”
Little then dropped a bombshell. He revealed that a deal had been struck in the Texas House to trade school choice for the legalization of casino and sports gambling. “The reason Democrats are desperate for it is because it’s a massive way to fund big government,” Little explained. He warned that this move would not only expand government but also lead to negative social consequences, such as increased human trafficking and drug smuggling.
“The gambling vote will happen this session,” Little confirmed. “They control the agenda, and they’ll push this through.”
Despite the bleak picture of Texas politics, Little remained hopeful about the future. He pointed to fighters like Shelley Luther and Brian Harrison, who are working hard to challenge the system. “There’s always a remnant,” Little said. “We just need to find the right candidates and mobilize the grassroots.”
In conclusion, both Bannon and Little painted a picture of a Texas that’s far from the conservative stronghold many believe it to be. Political power is concentrated in the hands of the uniparty, and the state is facing mounting challenges from special interests, regulatory capture, and the expansion of government. However, there’s still hope if true conservatives can unite and fight back. The upcoming gambling vote will be a key moment in this ongoing battle for the future of Texas.

California’s $119 Billion in Fed. Medicaid Spending – More than Florida’s Entire State Budget
California is scamming Medicaid
Excerpt:
“California Is Getting Rich Off of Medicaid”, reports Paul Winfree, Former Director of Budget Policy at the White House. “California openly brags about using a provider tax scam to avoid paying what is supposed to be the state share.”
Winfree, Founder, President & CEO of EPIC, quotes a Wall Street article: “California is expecting to take in almost $120 billion in federal Medicaid funds in the coming fiscal year – a gift from Uncle Sam. That’s up 23% over two years.”
“This is how the California government describes the laundering via provider taxes”:
“While the tax is charged to health insurance plans, most of the burden of the cost of paying the tax falls on the federal government. This is because the tax is designed to draw down more federal Medicaid funds, enabling the state to generate a large fiscal benefit while using the Medi-Cal program to cover most of the cost of the tax to health insurance plans.”
Crazy, right?
“This staggering number is hard to believe, but it’s right in Newsom’s budget” courtesy of the Legislative Analyst’s Office:
Referenced budget at link
California will receive more in federal Medicaid funding next year than Florida’s entire state budget – and just the increase they want is more than Nevada’s entire state budget, Unleash Prosperity says.
California’s Medi-Cal is California’s implementation of the federal Medicaid program, which offers free or low-cost health coverage to people who qualify.
Curiously, CalMatters is more concerned about what the Trump administration may cut because “it’s for the children”:
“California has a lot to lose if Trump slashes Medicaid. Seniors, kids and more could face coverage cuts.”
Hmmm. Maybe if Governor Gavin Newsom wasn’t paying for millions of illegal aliens in Medi-Cal benefits, Seniors, kids, widows, orphans and poor people would actually have the Medi-Cal benefits they need.
As the WSJ notes, “States have turned the program for the poor into an entitlement for able-bodied men.”
“Keep in mind that Medicaid was established to help the needy—poor children, pregnant women, the elderly and disabled. Democrats have since expanded it by degrees into a far broader entitlement for able-bodied, working-age adults with lower incomes.”
The California Legislative Analyst’s Office further explains the scam:
Generally, the state in past years used the MCO tax solely to offset General Fund spending on Medi-Cal’s existing budget. The new version of the MCO tax, by contrast, includes an expenditure plan for the funds with mixed uses. Specifically, a portion of the net fiscal benefit will offset General Fund spending in Medi-Cal, and the remaining portion of funds will support certain health-related augmentations. To accomplish this dual purpose, the trailer bill legislation establishes two new special funds. All proceeds first will be deposited into the Managed Care Enrollment Fund. Funds specifically for augmentations then will be transferred to a new reserve account called the Medi-Cal Provider Payment Reserve Fund. Health-related trailer bill legislation (Chapter 42 of 2023 [AB 118, Committee on Budget]) further elaborates on the specific augmentations (described below).
(MCO tax: managed care organization tax)
And here is where Newsom’s scam is further explained with “undocumented residents” more commonly and legally known as illegal aliens:
Assumes Increased Costs for Medi-Cal Expansions to Undocumented Residents. Over the last several years, and in a number of steps, the Legislature has expanded comprehensive Medi-Cal coverage to all income-eligible undocumented residents, with the most recent expansion for undocumented residents aged 26 through 49 scheduled to go into effect in January 2024. As only limited Medi-Cal services provided to undocumented residents are eligible for federal funding, the 2023-24 budget reflects significant General Fund increases related to the provision of comprehensive services to this population. Specifically, the 2023-24 budget includes (1) $4.3 billion General Fund for federal repayments and deferrals to address claims for federal funding that potentially were made in error, (2) $2.3 billion General Fund for technical adjustments intended to ensure federal funds are not used to provide services for undocumented residents inappropriately by replacing federal funds budgeted in the fee-for-service and managed care base with General Fund where appropriate, and (3) $1.2 billion General Fund for the scheduled expansion of eligibility for comprehensive Medi-Cal services to undocumented residents between the ages of 26 and 49. These amounts are considerably higher than estimated in past budgets. The increased costs are largely due to a federal corrective action plan, under which the state has developed a revised methodology to determine per-enrollee costs for this population and the appropriate amount of federal funding to claim.
As CalMatters reports, “no state has more to lose than California in the federal budget proposal House Republicans passed this week.” Cue the tears.
“Under the Affordable Care Act, California opened up its Medi-Cal roll to low-income adults who had previously not been covered. The federal government pays California 90% of the cost for this expansion group — that’s up from the state’s 50% regular match rate. Republicans may also choose to eliminate the increased match rate for adults covered under this expansion,” CalMatters said.
A few more details from CalMatters about California’s Medi-Cal:
2.2 million seniors and people with disabilities are enrolled in Medi-Cal.
More than 5 million kids in California are insured through Medi-Cal.
“Medi-Cal is also a big player in services provided at schools. It helps fund services and equipment for students with disabilities, such as hearing aids and specialty transportation. It reimburses school districts for certain providers, including psychologists and social workers, for example. Across the state, some districts also provide physical and mental health care to children and their family through school-based health centers that also draw down on Medi-Cal funding.”
Notably, CalMatters’ health writer is “Supported by the California Health Care Foundation,” which says it is “an independent, nonprofit philanthropy that works to improve the health care system so that all Californians have the care they need. We focus especially on making sure the system works for Californians with low incomes and for communities who have traditionally faced the greatest barriers to care.”
Asking for a friend… why does the State of California need a well-funded health care foundation to “improve the health care system” and “make sure the system works for Californians with low incomes?” Isn’t that what state workers are for?
The California Health Foundation’s most recent IRS Form 990 shows net assets of $826,454,616, investment totaling $765,062,076, investments outside of the United Sates in Central America, the Caribbean, Iceland and Greenland totaling $150,411,654. They paid out $41,648,168 in smaller grants to various health organizations and smaller non-profits, and lots of “health equity” and DEI projects.
The CEO of California Health Foundation, Sandra R. Hernández, MD, is paid a $700,000 salary plus $105,000 in benefits for a grand total of $807, 220 annually, and the foundation pays total salaries of $16 million annually. The salaries below tell a loud story:
Referenced data at link
Who is Sandra R. Hernández, MD? Her bio tells a story of government rent-seeking:
Sandra R. Hernández, MD is president and CEO of the California Health Care Foundation. Prior to joining CHCF, Sandra was CEO of The San Francisco Foundation. She previously served as director of public health for the City and County of San Francisco.
In February 2023, Sandra was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom to serve on the state’s Health Care Affordability Board. From 2018 to 2023, she served on the Covered California board of directors, after having been appointed by Governor Jerry Brown. In 2019, she was also appointed by Governor Newsom to the Healthy California for All Commission.
This is what taxpayers are up against and why California needs DOGE – the California Health Care Foundation non-profit is very profitable, yet is legally allowed to hide the sources of their income:
Referenced data at link
And, notably, this is the non-profit funding CalMatters’ health reporting and why they obfuscate Medi-Cal details.
The Wall Street Journal says, “The press claims Republicans want to gut Medicaid. That’s false. They’re not even proposing a cut.”
But they should. They need to cut the waste and fraud from the Medicaid budget.
“The Biden Administration also gave states waivers to spend federal Medicaid dollars on non-medical purposes, including food, homeless housing, and personal transportation,” the WSJ reports. “Nearly half of the states have received federal permission to spend Medicaid dollars on housing, and a dozen have for food. What are federal low-income housing vouchers and food stamps for again?”
Republicans and Trump’s DOGE need to cut Medicaid, and thus cut California’s Medicaid scam. DOGE needs to take on behemoth and profitable non-profits.
Did we already say that California is scamming Medicaid?
Proof of citizenship will now be REQUIRED to enroll children in school for the state of Oklahoma
https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1895634855787929642
Excerpt:
“The state of Oklahoma spent $474 million to educate the children of illegal immigrants under the Biden administration.”
Oklahoma State Board of Education says “Oklahoma is leading the country in education reform”
This proposed rule will require proof of citizenship or legal status to enroll kids in school. We need this mandatory nationwide.
