She has proven herself a weak, compromised person. I think the backlash she got from the Roe v Wade decision scared her into seeking acceptance from the left. Not a strong person. Certainly not strong enough for SCOTUS.
Personally, I think all nominees should be vetted by Clarence Thomas. If he doesn’t approve, they don’t get the nod.
April 28th! Can’t arrive soon enough!

Kids ~ channeling Art Linkletter?
AKA - Children perceive their grandparents.
Okay Deplorables…we all need humor
1. I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as I’d done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!” I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye....
2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 68. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”
3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?”
4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. “We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.” The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!”
5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halo and I said, “No, how are we alike?’’ “You’re both old,” he replied.
6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
“What’s it about?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” she replied. “I can’t read.”
7. I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I really think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!”
8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, “It’s no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.”
9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not sure.” “Look in your underwear, Grandpa,” he advised “Mine says I’m 4 to 6.” (WOW! I really like this one — it says I’m only ‘38’!)
10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.” The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. “That’s interesting.” she said. “How do you make babies?” “It’s simple,” replied the girl. “You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.”
11. Children’s Logic: “Give me a sentence about a public servant,” said a teacher. The small boy wrote: “The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.” The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. “Don’t you know what pregnant means?” she asked. “Sure,” said the young boy confidently. ‘It means carrying a child.”
12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties.
“They use him to keep crowds back,” said one child.
“No,” said another. “He’s just for good luck.”
A third child brought the argument to a close. “They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire hydrants.”
13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. “Oh,” he said, “she lives at the airport, and whenever we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”
14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don’t get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.
That is a real hoot (as they say in the south)
Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin holds the first modern day dire wolf born in over 10,000 years —The Game of Thrones creator is a key advisor and investor in the de-extinction project that used ancient DNA and CRISPR to bring the species back.
Scientists at Colossal Biosciences edited gray wolf embryos with Direwolf coding, resulting in three pups with ancient traits. One is even named Khaleesi — Perhaps they’ll star in a future production?…

Wonderful idea… how do we start this idea officially?
One of the best IMHO NNNs yet. Thank you. I’m again graced with strong signal!
Appreciate you sharing these daily!
Names - geography
If you are still calling The Gulf of America, The Gulf of Mexico, you are way behind the times.
Before the Spanish Conquistadors took it over by force, it was called Tenochtitlan.
If you refer to the island of Haiti as Haiti, you should know that it was first called Ayiti by its existing population upon the arrival of Spanish Explorers.
They renamed it Hispaniola for Spain.
The French renamed it Saint Domingue for France (Santo Domingo in Spanish).
The present name, Haiti kind of returns the name to the original, Ayiti.
If you insist on using the name Greenland, know that it was originally called Kalaallit Nunaat, which does not mean Green Land.
In similar fashion, Byzantium became Constantinople, became Istanbul.
Zambia was Rhodesia. Ukraine was Kievan Rus’. Columbia was New Granada.
Even The Americas (North and South) are named after an Italian guy in a boat who was out and about to claim land for Spain and Portugal.
And his name wasn’t even America.
So, about the Gulf. Take your choice, folks. You may prefer Golfo de Nueva España. I choose The Gulf of Amerigo.

Tariffs and
The War of the Superpowers: Bombers and Tariffs
Anyone who analyzes Trump’s tariffs through the lens of “cost of living” or “the stock market” is deluding themselves. The world is changing. The future of nations will not hinge on cost-of-living metrics or stock indices in Tel Aviv and New York but on military, industrial, and technological power. This is the war of the superpowers—the defining trend. There’s a direct link between the US, the European Union, China, and jihadists in the Middle East.
The studios, commentators, journalists, and politicians don’t grasp that the world is shifting. We’re entering a war of superpowers where every misstep or act of arrogance courts destruction. The ultimate aim is control and balance.
Now, an explanation of tariffs and the War of Nations:
1. America’s Core Conflict:
The supreme struggle is with China. Europe was meant to compete alongside the US as part of the democratic world but has failed against industrial China and military Russia. For the free world’s sake, industries must return to America and pro-American nations—like India and Israel—that value life.
The American economy thrives on technology, not industry. Europe has drained industries from the US, not wealth. America’s stock market is dominated by tech giants, while Europe leans on industry. If the American consumer suffers, Europe will collapse entirely.
2. Europe’s Dependency:
Britain, France, and all of Europe lack a right to exist without the US. Without it, Europe would bow to Turkey, cower before Russia, and see the Mediterranean, the Straits of Gibraltar, and even the Vatican threatened by ISIS, just as the Houthis disrupted the Red Sea.
3. Tariffs as Strategy: Tariffs are a geostrategic move. Just as Trump positioned bombers over Iran, he’s placing economic “bombers” over Europe’s economy.
Trump—a president hounded by the Deep State, survivor of an assassination attempt—faces a post-Biden world. Without urgent change, the free world will perish.
4. Economic Illusions:
The American economy is a bluff; Europe’s is an even bigger one. Birth rates are plummeting, debts are soaring. Germany, Britain, and France obsess over climate issues and stay silent as their debt-ridden economies falter, with Muslims now the largest minority. The “Free Palestine” slogan is propaganda that exposes the monstrous consequences of Europe’s open gates.
5. A New World Order:
America has no inherent right to its current global political and economic dominance. A new order must emerge. Is this America’s fault? Superpowers don’t dwell on guilt or apologies—they seek control.
Post-World War II support for Europe stemmed from its role as a US proxy against the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union is gone, and Russia poses neither an economic nor a direct political threat to the US. China is the true economic and political rival. Europe, meanwhile, is not just an industrial competitor but an economic liability. Alliances are always temporary in history. Why not bolster India and Israel instead?
6. Long-Term Vision:
Trump is “destroying the economy”? Hardly. He’s thinking 100 years ahead. The future lies with India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Africa—not with nations debating climate and gender in parliament while committing slow suicide.
7. Warning to Israelis in Europe:
Return home now. You’re gambling with fire for cheap cherries. The EU is a debt-ridden economy that can’t meet industrial or security demands. France, the EU’s number-two economy, could trigger a collapse of the EU and the euro if it fails. Living in the Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, or Greece? You’re not safe. You’re tied to France’s fate. At best, assets and finances will be nationalized; at worst, anti-Semitism will erupt in the streets.
Unlike 2008, when Germany bailed out Greece (a small player), no one will save France. Poverty will hit hard, bringing wars, anti-Semitism, and Islamism. Assets will be seized, taxes will skyrocket, and conscription orders will follow.
There aren’t enough El Al planes to rescue everyone.
8. Israel’s Moment:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is stepping into the most critical event for Israel since World War II—and the most significant for the free world in a century: joint planning with the US president to shape a new world aligned with America’s vision. This is an unprecedented moment our history.
9. Netanyahu’s Objectives:
- Prevent a nuclear Iran.
- Define a zonal border with Turkey in Syria.
- Secure territorial changes in Judea and Samaria, Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syria.
- Forge a trade agreement with the US.
- Deepen military partnership.
- Finalize the Abraham Accords.
10. The Age of Great Powers: We’re in an era of superpower warfare, allied with the most powerful nation in human history. Israel is well-positioned but must remain patient. The stakes are high, and errors on this vast map are unforgivable.
Good luck to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If his meeting with the US president succeeds, Israel will enter a new, unprecedented era for the better.
