Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
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.

Those who attack you.
Those who mock you.
Those who cull you.
Those who control you.
Those who label you.
Do they represent you?
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.

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.

IT’S STARTING: NEW TRUMP OFFICIALS MAKE MAJOR 2A STATEMENTS

Perhaps so... But for certain the 'Rats (and RINOs?) no longer represent the American people - they represent a crowd of foreign invaders. Oh! They need Americans' $$$$ but only to give it to their new constituents: those same foreign invaders. It is the only truth that meets the globalists' goal of no borders, no national governments, no wealth and privilege (except for those vital necessary 'leaders'!)
Why is van Hollen championing a foreign gangster while showing no interest in American victims or American hostages in Gaza? See previous paragraph. These globalist Deep Staters no longer see their former constituents as anything more than a pocket book!
Yeah there’s a reason why opera was banned in Austria for a while.
I love Baroque music (Bach, etc), heavy metal, bluegrass, rock & roll, etc. Anything that takes actual talent to play. I’m a drummer of 43 years and play guitar well enough to get rough ideas for original songs going or doing a cover of a song the way I want to reshape it. I just got three guitars and two bass guitars from a friend of mine from helping him clean out his mom’s house after she passed. One was a Jackson guitar. :O

TRUMP card coming.
Q
so, plenty of derps are panicked thinking that Trump is dropping something BIG on April 20..
We know it doesn’t have to be the same day, but
I never played electric guitar. I more or less taught myself, learned some chords from others. Been playing in informal groups for hmm, let me count, 45 years. Started with a pawn shop Ibanez, then a Martin (when they were good) but gave away some years later due to bad memories. Next was a Larivee from a friend who bought wholesale and resold them (he gave me wholesale price). Mostly I play a 1980s Ibanez 12 string that I really like. Currently have no one with musical ability to play with.
I did play in a gamelan orchestra for a while.
Trump’s executive order seeks to lower prescription drugs prices, including Medicare patients
Excerpt:
President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Health and Human Services to standardize Medicare payments in an effort to curb prescription drug prices, including with private insurers.
“Combined, these bold actions were delivering real savings for American patients and set the foundation to dramatically narrow the price disparity between the United States and foreign nations over time,” said the executive order that Trump signed Tuesday.
This directive to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. comes as Trump seeks to impose specific tariffs on pharmaceutical imports on top of other ones, including a baseline 10% for most trading partners. Market research group Black Book Research found that 84% of experts predict that prices for medical treatments and drugs will rise due to the tariffs, according to a survey released in February.
Between January 2022 and January 2023, prescription drug prices rose more than 15% and reached an average of $590 per drug, according to the Department of Health and Human Services in 2023. Of the 4,200 drugs on that list, 46% of the increases exceeded the rate of inflation.
In 2024, the United States imported $213 billion in medicines, which is 2 1/2 times higher than a decade earlier, with Germany, India, Ireland, Singapore and Switzerland major suppliers of pharmaceuticals.
Major drug companies outside the United States include Teva in Israel, Novo Nordisk in Denmark, AstraZeneca in Britain and Novartis in Switzerland. U.S. companies are Eli Lilly, Merck, Pfizer, Roche and Johnson and Johnson.
“We don’t make our own drugs anymore,” Trump told reporters Monday. “The drug companies are in Ireland, and they’re in lots of other places, China.”
Trump wants to equalize Medicare payments for drugs, including the treatment of cancer, regardless of where the patients get care. The White House in a fact sheet said the directive can lower costs by as much as 60%.
Also, Medicare payment for certain prescription drugs that hospitals pay for would be matched, which can result in 35% lower costs than what the government pays to acquire those medications.
And sought: lowering insulin prices for low-income patients or those who are uninsured to as little as 3 cents and injectable epinephrine for treating allergic reactions to as low as $15.
In 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which included requiring Medicare Part D plans to charge no more than $35 per month for all covered insulin products, and also limits cost sharing for insulin covered under Part B to $35 per month.
The Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program allows Medicare to directly engage in negotiating prescription prices with drug companies. Private insurers do this.
Trump wants to improve on the 22% in savings that the Biden administration achieved, according to a White House fact sheet.
“The guidance shall improve the transparency of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, prioritize the selection of prescription drugs with high costs to the Medicare program, and minimize any negative impacts of the maximum fair price on pharmaceutical innovation within the United States,” the order said.
Also, the Food and Drug Administration was asked to work with Congress to quicken Medicare price negotiations for biosimilars, which are complex biologic medicine, compared with small molecule drugs, typically pills.
“My first term included numerous significant actions, including some of the most aggressive in recent history, to deliver lower prescription drug prices to American patients,” Trump said in the order. “The message was clear: no longer would the executive branch sit idly by as pharmaceutical manufacturers charged patients in our Nation more than those in other countries for the exact same prescription drugs, often made in the exact same places.”
During Trump’s first administration, states were allowed to more easily import drugs from Canada and required federally qualified health centers, to pass along discounts they receive on insulin and EpiPens to their patients. The Biden administration ended the rule for health centers, citing the excessive administrative costs and burdens imposed on them.
