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.

Biden gave him a get-out-of-jail card, two months later he’s been arrested for drugs and guns
BTW, Biden, or his puppeteer, said at the time that his commutations were based on “outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes” - who was the driving force behind those “enhancements” (actually minimum mandatory sentences for trafficking crimes)? Answer: Senator Joseph Biden - again, note that they are all trafficking crimes; possession on any drug for personal use is a misdemeanor under federal law and mandatory probation for a first offense under the sentencing guidelines

'note: For some reason, Newsom can't hide the fact that CA covers billions of dollars in medical care for illegals right now, so he's just slow walking requests now (3.44 Billion loan plus another 2.8 Billion). I vaguely remember thinking he was going to have a harder time concealing the use of federal funds now, but the details escape me. I know he says CA's General Fund covers them, but others have pointed out he's laundering federal money into the General Fund. Here's a link to some shady impressions given off by Newsom's assurance that Biden would pay 100% of the wildfire costs in LA for the next 180 days.
UPDATE:
'note: Okay so maybe this is (part of) how Newsom traditionally pays for medicaid for illegals.

The Silent Takeover: How Local Politicians Use Appointments to Advance Their Agendas
Excerpt:
In communities across Michigan, a troubling trend is emerging in local governance — one that allows political insiders to sidestep the will of the voters and consolidate power through strategic appointments. This practice involves filling vacancies on city councils, township boards, school boards and county commissions by appointment rather than special election, and it is being used to stack these bodies with individuals who align with the existing administration’s agenda, often at the expense of true voter representation.
The Appointment Loophole
Here’s how the process unfolds: A local official, often newly elected, steps down shortly after winning his or her seat. This creates a vacancy that, according to local rules and charters, the remaining members of the governing body may often filled through an appointment. Instead of allowing voters to choose a replacement through a special election, the administration appoints a successor who shares its views and priorities, effectively circumventing the democratic process.
Although the governor has established a guideline allowing special elections in May or November to address such vacancies, many communities are avoiding these elections altogether claiming that elections are too expensive.
Instead, they delay filling the seat through the ballot box until the next regularly scheduled election for state or federal offices, which may be years away. In the meantime, the appointee serves without voter approval, often making critical decisions on local policies, budgets, and development projects. In addition, the new appointee gains name recognition through social media and newspapers reporting on his or her activity. This practice provides the power of incumbency for the next election.
A Threat to Local Democracy
The implications of this appointment-versus-election practice are profound. First, it undermines voter intent. If a community elects candidates only to see them step down and have unelected appointees replace them, the electorate is effectively denied a say in their representation.
Second, this highly questionable process allows those in power to handpick successors who align with their agenda and entrench their influence—whether that agenda matches the will of the people or not.
Appointments are meant to be a temporary solution to an unexpected vacancy, not a tool for political manipulation. Yet by delaying special elections, local officials are effectively using appointments as a means to maintain control. This practice appears to be used to tilt the balance of power on critical issues such as zoning laws, tax policies, and local economic development, all without direct voter input.
Need for Reform
To restore integrity to local government, communities must demand transparency and accountability in the appointment process. Local governments should be required by law to hold special elections as soon as legally possible, and government officials should be prohibited—and face significant financial and legal penalties—if they delay these elections until politically convenient. Citizens should also push for charter amendments that limit how long appointees may serve before facing voters.
Voters must remain vigilant, questioning why vacancies are being filled by appointment rather than election. If local leaders continue to bypass the ballot box in favor of political appointments, they risk eroding public trust in government—a price that no community can afford, or should be willing, to pay.
In a time when faith in institutions is already fragile, the last thing we need is for democracy to be subverted at the local level. It is time to demand better.
Current Examples
West Bloomfield Township, Michigan: A Supervisor’s Exit and an Inside Job
The residents of West Bloomfield Township cast their votes expecting stability in leadership in November 2024. Yet, two days after being sworn in for a third term, the township supervisor abruptly resigned. Rather than considering the challenger from the primary election—the candidate who had also sought the role—the remaining township officials selected one of their own. In a further twist, the appointed supervisor even participated in the vote to secure his own position. The process left many questioning whether this was democracy in action or simply a political maneuver to keep power within a tight circle.
Macomb County, Michigan: A Commissioner’s Resignation
Shortly after his reelection, Macomb County Commissioner, Don Brown stepped down to take a job in the county’s Public Works office under Candice Miller. Brown’s departure triggered an appointment process that raised eyebrows.
A pool of 15 candidates applied for the vacant seat, but the final selection went to a former employee of Candice Miller. The Macomb County Board of Commissioners approved the appointment in an 8 to 4 vote, effectively bypassing the will of the voters.
More troubling, the appointed commissioner will serve for two years until a special election in 2026. Prior to 2024, commissioner terms were two years. Currently, commissioners now serve four year terms. Many of the applicants were disappointed there would not be a May special election.
Clarkston School Board: A Dismissed Leader Returns to Power
In 2022, voters in the Clarkston School District made their voices heard when they rejected an incumbent school board member in favor of two new candidates. But their choice was soon undermined. When another board member resigned shortly after the election, the remaining board members appointed none other than the recently ousted incumbent to fill the vacancy.
As if the move were not controversial enough, they went a step further and elevated the appointed member to the position of board president. Parents and community members who had voted for change found themselves facing the same leadership they had intentionally ousted.
Of note
During the writing of this article, a newly elected L’Anse Creuse school board member in Macomb County has resigned from office, four months after he was elected. This board member and another recently ousted an incumbent. Appointment pending.
Clintondale School District in Clinton County is in the process of appointing a replacement to fill a vacancy due to the death of a board member.
Where have our elections gone?
Marijuana users at greater risk for heart attack, stroke
https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2025/03/19/marijuana-stroke-heart-attack-study/3631742395012/
Excerpt:
Weed users are much more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or other life-threatening heart condition than people who don’t indulge, a new study says.
Adults under 50 are more than six times as likely to suffer a heart attack if they use marijuana, compared to non-users, researchers reported Tuesday in the journal JACC Advances.
They also have a dramatically higher risk of stroke, heart failure and heart-related death, researchers said.
“Asking about cannabis use should be part of clinicians’ workup to understand patients’ overall cardiovascular risk, similar to asking about smoking cigarettes,” lead researcher Dr. Ibrahim Kamel, a clinical instructor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, said in a news release.
Weed is legal for recreational use in 24 states and for medical use in 39 states.
These results show that it is not inherently harmless, even as it is legalized across the U.S., researchers said.
.....For the study, researchers analyzed health records for more than 4.6 million adults younger than 50, comparing the heart health of cannabis users to non-users.
Everyone included in the study had no heart health problems at the outset.
Their blood pressure and cholesterol levels were within a healthy range, and they had no diabetes, tobacco use or indication of clogged arteries.
During an average follow-up of more than three years, weed users had:
• A more than sixfold increased risk of heart attack compared to non-users.
• Four times the risk of stroke.
• Twice the risk of heart failure.
• Triple the risk of heart-related death, heart attack or stroke.
To double-check these results, researchers performed a follow-up evidence review involving 12 previously published studies with more than 75 million participants.
The pooled data showed that active marijuana users were 1.5 times as likely to suffer a heart attack compared to people not currently using weed.
.....”We should have some caution in interpreting the findings, in that cannabis consumption is usually associated with other substances such as cocaine or other illicit drugs that are not accounted for,” he said.
******************
They finally are ‘allowing/doing’ studies on marijuana and its harm to users. Yet they want to hedge their bets by saying marijuana users also tend to be users of other illicit drugs.

THANK YOU! Been away from computer all day.
Utter nonsense. No evidence that musk is compromised or otherwise a bad guy.
The Musk situation is well beyond such questions.
He is one of the key players on our team.
He and Trump are utilizing their combined power to change the course of American history.
